Denial from Saturnia.

With regard to the statement that pas
sengers on the Donaldson liner Saturnia
saw the Titanic founder, there is abso-
lutcly no truth In the story. The Sa
turnia was more than three hundred and
eighty miles distant from the Titanic at
the time OF the disaster and never even
caught any of the wireless messages.
Captain Taylor and his officers, who
were comparatively near port at thai
time, heard nothing whatever about the
wreck until their steamer was locked at
st. John.
Captain Taylor's explanation Is that
some OF his passengers since reaching
port have traced on the miniature chart
furnished them the course Of the Satur-
MIA. BY this means they have correctly
reached the conclusion that the Saturnia
passed within a very few miles OF where
the Titanic went down. But she passed
that point days before the wreck oc-
Cured, and at midnight on Sunday was
four hundred. miles to the westward. A
formal statement to this effect was to-

way steamer Mount Temple, made state
ment here to-day concerning what was OBJ
served from the Mount Temple at sea on
the night the Titanic went down. Accord
ing to Mr.. Zurich, passengers on board the
Mount Temple heard Of the Titanics dis
tress at 1918 o'clock on Monday morning.
when a wireless call for help was caught.
Captain Moore at once headed for the IT,
tanic lfeboats being swung from davits
and other preparations being made
The new course was not held long, how
ever, says Mr.. Zurich, because a great field
of ice doomed up ahead. 1t was reported
among crew and passengers, according to
Mr.. Zurich, that Captain Moore made no
further efforts to penetrate the foes. as
sorting that he could not afford to take the
risk Of endangering the lives on board his
ship.
The statement OF DR.. Qutzrau to the
effect that passengers and crew believed
they could see the lights OF the unfortunate
Titanic Is borne out by Mr.. Zurich. With
two companion passengers. he disobeyed
the captains orders, which forbade passen-
gers ascending to the upper deck at any
time He Is fairly positive that they saw
the masts of the Titanic. and he says he Is
not ready to accept the assertion that their
ship was at least forty miles from the
wrecked liner at the time At any rate. lie
thinks the Mount Temple might have
reached the spot before the Titanic sank
and this superstition. he says. seems to
have been entertained by others on board
Mr. Zurich says also that the Mount
Temple sighted immense fields Of Ice dur
Ing Sunday and Monday.

granted them permission TO sell the'
story. but said he recalled the fact that
lack" Binns had been paid a consider
q BILE sum for the story he was able to
tell after the accident to the Republic
and he thought these boys should enjoy
the same opportunity. He declared he
was particularly anxious that the public
should have the details Of the disaster
as promptly as possible.
Mr.. Marconi admitted that it would
have been better If a short story of the
had been sent TO the Mar
conf company for general distribution.
He conceded that permission granted the
operators to sell their informa ton might
tend to the suppression OF news, and
said he would discourage the practice In
the future. He also, in reply to ques-
tiOns put by Senator Fletcher, gave a
brief and interesting outline of the con-
troll of wireless exercised by the British
government.
Talked with tho Mount Temple.
Harold r. Gotham, wireless operator on
the Carpathia, said he had been in COM
munication with the Mount Temple dur
ing the Sunday evening before the sink
ing Of the Titanic, and that about 1880
p. IN. he got good night" from the OPP
orator on that ship, which he under
stood to mean that the operator was
going 10 bed. He said he had received
more than one request from the scout
cruiser Salem asking for list of the
survivors. and some time after their re-
ceipt the captain of the Carpathia had
replied, saying he had sent the lists OF
the first and second class survivors ia
shore and offering 10 send the list OF
third class passengers. Some time later
he said, he had sent off this list He

WOULD CURB SPEED MANIA

Washington. April Ex-senator Kern. of
Indiana. has presented to the Senate a
protest from ex-Attorney General w. II. II.
Miller Of Indiana against the speed mania
Of the day. The letter was suggested by
the Titanic disaster. but Mr.. Miller urges
legislation TO control the train schedules
as well. He says:
One scarcely picks UP a newspaper with
out reading OF some railroad accident
caused by this mania. 1t is entirely COM
petent and In my opinion il is the duty OF
Congress TO legislate in such a way as TO
put stop TO the unnecessary and unrea-
sonably high rates Of speed. which can not
and will not be done by any of the great
corporations themselves. IL is ordinarily
more important that travellers should know
the time of their arrival than that a few
hours be saved, and II is a matter of COM
mon knowledge that very large per-
centage Of the fast trains do not and can
not maintain their schedules

Operator Noted the Time.

J. Durrant Marconi wireless operator
on the steamer Mount Temple, SAID TO-
night that il was 1925 p. m. ships time,
or 1911 New York time, when he caught
the Titanic's first call. Come at once,
came the message; have struck berg.
"As soon as | got the message
notified the captain" he said. II did
not call the Titanic again because other
ships. which I Judged to be closer were
working, and I did not wish to jam
them. At 12:21 heard the Csrpathia
answer tho - - d calls OF the Titanic.
and at 1884 heard the Frankfurt
answer.
"All this time the C . ID message
was being sent out necessarily from the

steamer the Titanic said: Captain says

tons:

or make him crouch down on his

Faith healing seems to be indicated
in prescription which runs, III he is
in a weak state, make him bend down,
then raise his legs. and say: May you
get quite we'll Strike him also on

Many prescriptions deal with the
cure OF a disorder which was very
common at Nineveh. and which seems
10 have been due to overindulgence
IN food and drink: when a man is
bilious rub him with an onion. and let
him drink nothing but water and ab.
