Pe. of fhe Titanic when she was fn extremity, and the" captain and wireless operdtor of the liner Cali: fornian, which sent the warning. All will be.put on the stand to-day. SBummonses were ho for the op- h first, for his ships to, sail from St. Jolin, a ple due to day. A new method of examining. the inembers of the crew of the Titanic has been adopted to insure greater Hespate The men are anxious to 'teturn tg their homes in England. Accordingly, each member of the bumimittee yesterday undertook the ex- amination, of a group with the inten. tion of releasing such as had nothing important to tell. The others will be placed on the stand. The names of those to be held were not made public. Virtually the entire day was given | bver to questioning G. Marconi, in- ventor of the wireless telegraph and head of the company bearing his name. Both the Titanic and the Car- pathia were equipped with the Mar- toni apparatus. Harold T. Cottam; the wirkléss operator on the Car- bathia, also was re-examined. Senator Smith asked Mr. Marconi: 1 desire to ask whether an officer, | director or employe of the Tnterna- | tional Mercantile Marine, after the collision asked you to enjoin silence on Titanic operator Bride, or Carpa- thia operator Cottam, as to the time or manner in which the accident oc- | eurred "No request was made and no order was issued to stop any messages. No such instructions of any sort or man- | ner ever were issued." The. witness was excused. Senator Smith made the following announcement: "I desire to ray that some rumors have reached the com- mittee that there is friction and lack of harmony among the members of the sub-committee, and I have the &oncurtence of my assistants that the statement is absolutely untrue: "Personally, I have never heafd of the slightest friction. We are all pro- ceeding on our own way to get al re- sults. I wish to say further that we have determined to hear the ticmbers of the crew of the Titanic: 1t has been thought necessary becausk of the large number of these men to pro- ceed with the hearing without the attendance of the public, each mem- ber of the committee examining his quota of these men. This is done to ex the hearing." e committee adjosned until to- day and the Benator took the sailors into conferences. It was the purpose to talk to each man, gach Senator taking as many as he could. "We will endeavor to find out everything that each sailor knows about -the ck instead of putting éach man on the stand to go over the whole gfound," said Senator New- lands. "If wé find any men who have owledge of importante, they will be rought before the édmmittée for de. | fled examination Pp, 8. Franklin, the piésident of the White Star Line, and J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the In- ternational Mercantile Marine, were pleased over this move. rp { f@adly Hurt 1a Quarrel. | Brantford, April 26--Harry Jones, én pk of the Massey-Harris Co., hs hed to' the hospital at noon 4 , having been struck pn by a lellow-employe fol- Je over 8 truck Jones _ Jones is alleged to f aténeéd his assailant with a neckyoke.
