Washington, D.C., May 28.-- "That Captain Smith, commander of the Titanic, who went down with 5 for the terrible disaster, for refus- ing to heed the repeated warnings of icebergs ahead, and that Captain Lord, of the Californian, should share responsibility for the loss of some of the lives, for he took no heed to the distress signals Plainly visible from his vessel; and that the British Board of Trade is respons- ible for laxity of regulation and in- Spection that might have prevent- ed or partially prevented this aw- ful fatality." These are some of the more im- portant findings of Senator William Alden Smith, whose report of the Titanic investigation was presented to the United States senate this af- ternoon. Senator Smith was chairman of the committee of investigation, all members which concurred in the findings which he presented. The strong terms of the. report were rather startling to the senate, es- pecially in view of the faet that they strongly denounce the govern- ment department of another nation. In criticism of Captain Lord, Sen- ator Smith quoted English law to show he could be punised severely. He intimated that it was the duty of the British courts to prosecute Captain" Lord. : "America will leave to England the chastisement of those guilty," sald Senator Smith in a burst of impassioned oratory. The report mentioned the fact that 'passengers, crew snd officers were all practically strangers to or Trane in Rostrom's "valor" in taking the Carpathia to the rescue of the Titanic's passengers be recognized .{ by the United States government. Ilo some respects the report will likely be strongly ridiculed by peo- ple who know something of nautieal matters, For instance, Senator Smith recommended that every ship be compelled to carry large floating bupys, which, when the ship went down, would float on the surface of the water and give warn- ing to other ships. In one paragraph, Senator Smith said he felt called upon to justify his investigation of the Titanic dis- aster by the fact that, although the vessel sailed under a foreign flag, it carried 4 large number of United States subjects as passengers. Very High Honors. Washington, May 28.--A gold medal, the thanks of congress, fro dom of the floor of the senate and house of representatives, which is a very high honor, was ordered, to- day by the senate for Captain Ros- from, of the steamer Carpathia, for his valorcus work in the rescue «r the Titanic passengers. A motion to this effect was introduced by Sena- tor swith and carried, unanimously, this afternoon. Senator Raynor, of Maryland, made a vigorous and im- passioned speech calling on the civilized nations to recognize in the Titanic disaster, a call for greater allegiance to the Maker and Ruler ol all wings.
