ICE BARRIER PREVENTED
RESCUE OF PASSENGERS
Captain Of Steamer Mount Temple Tells the
Senate Committee of Vain Effort to
Reach the Doomed Ship.

Washington.-Failure to give her
exact position, great field of floating
Ice that offered frigid barrier 10 hur.
rying to the ship, and the mistake of
| her captain of rushing at top speed
| through an ice-covered sea, combined
to send teh Titanic and her 1000 vic
tins to their watery graves IN the
north Atlantic, according to testimony
on Saturday before the senate inves-
tigating committee.
Captain James II. Moore of the
steamer Mount Temple, which was
hurried to the Titanic in response to
wireless calls for help, told of the
great stretch of field ice, which held
MIN off Within his view from the
bridge he dlscerned, he said, another
strange steamer, probably tramp"
ana schooner which was making her
way out of the Ice. The lights of this
schooner, he thought, probably were
those seen by the anxious survivors of
the Titanic and which they were fran
ucally trying to reach.
Captain Moore denounced as most
uh"lse the action OF the Titanic COM
mander In rushing at 81 knots through
the night when he had been advised
OF the proximity of ice. The Mount
Temples commander testified that he
had spent twenty-seven years in the
north Atlantic. Whenever ice was
around, he said, he doubled his watch
and reduced speed, and If he happened
to get caught In an ice pack he
stopped his engines and drifted until
he was clear.
The witness also was emphatic in
his declaration that the position sent
out by tho Titanic was wrong. He
said the ship was eight miles farther
eastward than its operators reported,
This he declared, he proved by OBJ
serVations taken the first thing on the
lay following the disaster.

Bodies Seen on Iceberg.

New York.-Officers of the North
German-Lloyd liner Princess Irene,
tell OF wireless message which
they intercepted on Wednesday in
which a ship, the name not learned,
reported that in passing fifty miles
from the scene of the Titanic disaster
she had sighted an iceberg on which
were the bodies of more than a dozen
men; all wore lifebelts and the bodies
were huddled in groups at the base OF
the iceberg. 1t was the opinion of tho
officers of the ship that the men had
climbed on the mass of ice and had
frozen to death as they were swept
southwark. No attempt was made to
take off the bodies.

testimony of the afternoon. He lis.
tened intently to the accounts of his
conduct at the lifeboats as told by the
stewards and seamen. His eyes fair.
ly beamed when Steward Crawford told
how Ismay had called for women to
go in one of the boats and had said
to woman who told him she was only
stewardess:
you are woman; take your place
in the boat
Ismay listened intently, TOO, as
Steward Bright testified that he had
not left the ship until after all the
large lifeboats had gone and only one
or two collapsible boats were left on
deck.
After the session was over, the cor
ridor in the senate building near the
committee room was crowded with
anxious sailors of the Titanic who have
been at the call of the committee since
the rescue ship Carpathia brought
them to New York. They were a ner.
vous lot. Not being permitted to leave,
they faced the prospect of Saturday
night and Sunday without funds.
IF it is too late to get money for
the sailormen," Mr.. Ismay declared,
Il can see that it is advanced"
Finally they were escorted to the
capitol in a body and advanced wit
ness fee money.

NEGRO LYNCHED BY PICkENs MOB
Attempted Assault and Shot Woman
in the Back-TOOk Victim From
Sheriff.

Greenville, June 29.-Having at
tempted to assault the wife of high
" respectable farmer of Pickens coun-
ty and having shot her twice in the
back with a single-barreled shotgun as
she ran through the fields to her hus-
band, Brooks Gordon, a young negro,
was torn from the custody of the
sheriff by a determined mob late this
afternoon and lynched. The woman is
reported to be resting we'll, and her
chances of recovery are favorable un-
less complications set in. The crime
is one of the most atrocious of the
kind ever committed in this section of
the State, and the portion of Pickens
county where the offense was perpe-
trated was in terrible turmoil from
the time the deed became known until
the thirst for vengeance had been sat-
isfed
According to reports from Easley
tonight, the negro attacked the woman
as she was at work in the field at 10
o'clock this morning. She broke loose
from him and ran through the fields
toward her husband, who was about a
half mile away.
The negro carried single-barreled
shotgun and demanded to know of the
woman if she intended reporting the
matter to her husband. She replied,
as she ran, that she would tell her
husband, and then the negro leveled
the gun at her and fired. The wound
die not deter the woman in her pur-
pose. The negro ran after her, reload
ing his gun as he ran. He demanded
Of her the second time if she intended
telling her husband, but before she
could reply he raised his gun and fired
upon her again.
Having fired the second shot into
the back of the fleeing woman, the ne
gro turned and ram toward the noun
tains. News of the outrage quickly
spread throughout the surrounding
country and mob of angry men
gathered and started in pursuit. The
chase continued for several hours, but
Sheriff Roark, of Pickens county, beat
the mob in the race, capturing the
negro about Is miles from the scene
OF his crime.
The sheriff started toward the Pick
ems Jail with his prisoner, but was
overtaken by the mob and the prison
er taken away from him.
