WASHINGTON, d. c., May 2S.-
The blame for the Titanic disaster is
chargeable directly to the faiiuic of
dead Captain Smith to heed the re-
peated warnings of icebergs ahead,
tut the responsibility for the unnec-
essary loss of life must be shared by
Captain Lord Of the steamship Cali
fornian, through his disregard Of dis
tress signals.
This is the finding of the senate
committee which investigated the
sinking of the Titanic as prepared in
a comprehensive speech formally de-
livered today by William Alden Smith
of Michigan, chairman of the COM
mittee.
Senator Smith declared the respon-
sibility also rests upon the British
board of trade, ito whose laxity of
regulation and inspection the world is
largely indebted for the awful IA
tality."
In denouncing Captain Lord of the
California, the senator said the Ii
tanic's distress signals were seen
plainly from the deck of his vessel,
short distance away.
America will leave to England the
chastisement of those guilty, assert
ed the senator.
At the outset he presented an a.fi-
davit from Mrs. George NJ. Widcner
Of Philadelphia to the effect that Cap
tain Smith did not drink any intoxi-
eating liquors at the now famous
Widener dinner on board the Titanic
the night the monster sank to her
doom.
Captain Smith knew the sea and
his clear eye and steady hand often
had guided his ship through the dan
gerous pass" said the senator. "For
forty years storms sought in vain 10
vex him or menace his craft. His
indifference to danger was vne Of
the direct and contributing causes OF
this unnecessary tragedy while mis-
own willingness to die was good evil
dence of his fitness to live"

GET ALLEN CLANSMEN
Arrest Leader and Nephew of Gang
Which Shot Up Court.

winch OHOL Up OOuTts
Sidna Allen, leader of the Allen
clan, which shot up the Carroll coun-
ty court house at Hillsville, Va, on
March IA, killing Judge Massie and
others, and his nephew, Wesley Ed
wards, are manacled in cells at the
city Jail in Des Moines, Iowa, as
result of a love affair which led de-
tectives to them. Both men have an
nounced their willingness to return to
Virginia without requisition.
Edwards, for the love of whom Miss
Maude Iroler, of Mount Airy, Va, had
innocently led detectives out to Des
Moines, was captured as he was re-
turning to his boarding house, after
having worked all day with a paving
gang.
Just as he boarded a street car de-
tectives and officers surrounded it.
Edwards was trying to escape by
crawling through the front end of the
car when the officers caught him. The
arrest of Sidna Allen was effected
earlier in the day.
A visit to Edwards to Miss Iroler
in her Virginia home about a month
ago and the accidental loss of letter
put the detectives on the trail. The
fugitives had been in Des Moines
since April 2S. Allen, under the name
of Tom Sayre, worked as a carpenter
and Edwards, under the name of Joe
Jackson, was employed with a city
paving gang.
Allen was arrested at the home o.
John Cameron, at Eleventh and Lo
Gust streets, where he and his nephew
had been rooming, by Detectives Bald
win, Lucas and Mundy, of Roanoke
The arrests occurred few minutes
after Miss Iroler stepped into tn,

New York Detectives Traced Them to
Hiding Place In Brooklyn-Hidden
There a Month.

There a Month.
Lefty Louie" and "Gyp the Blood"
were arrested at 756 Woodward ave-
nue., Brooklyn, by Deputy Police Com
missioner George DOugherty and a
force of detectives.
The two missing "gunmen," so long
sought for the murder of Herman RO.
senthal, the gambler, are now at po-
lice headquarters, Manhattan, and
there is no doubt of their identity.
The two men were arrested in COM
pany with their wives and a visiting
pickpocket in a fiat which they fur
nished about Aug. Is, and when they
were covered with the revolvers OF
the police their only comment was:
"Ah, hell; put up your guns; we won't
make no trouble"
Scarcely another remark was made
to the police by either man until they
were examined at police headquarters
later by Assistant District Attorney
Moss, acting for District Attorney
Whitman, who has gone out to Hot
Springs to take testimony of persons
who talked to Sam Schepps, a witness
in the case.
The women, however, made a scene,
throwing their arms around their hus
bands necks and shedding copious
tears. They had to be torn away from
the men before the police could get
their prisoners out of the apartment,
and were later brought to police head
quarters.
With the arrest of "Gyp" and
al city," whose real names are Harry
Horowitz and Louis Rosenweig, all of
the seven men accused of the murder
of Herman Rosenthal, of which Police
Lieutenant Charles Becker is the al
legged instigatOr, are now in the hands
of the authorities.
The capture of the two men came
as a result of what is regarded in po
lice circles as the best detective work
done in the history of the department
It was the fruit of unbroken surveil
lance of the wives and relatives of the
men since their disappearance on the
day of the murder, July 16.
This surveillance was maintained
by sixty detectives working in relays,
who kept Deputy Commissioner
Dougherty in constant touch with
what they did and where they went.
Commissioner Dougherty said that
"Gyp" and Lefty had fed imme-
diately after the murder to Parks
vile, N. Y, a summer resort in the
| Catskiu mountains and had remained
there more than a week. His men
had traced them back to New York by
their baggage checks, but had lost
them at the Hoboken terminal.
Where they were between July 26,
the date of their arrival and Aug. Is
the commissioner has not definitely
determined. Neither gunman appeared
to be in funds, "Gyp" having only SIS
in his possession.

AVIATOR MEETS DEATH
Intentended to Quit Flying Because
of Danger Connected With it.

Howard Gills death at Chicago in a
midair collision Of flying machines
came after his announced intention of
giving up flying.
Young GIL had become impressed
with the danger of aviation and had
already made up his mind to quit.
Had he survived the fatal flight he
would never have ascended again.
Two weeks or more ago, in a letter
written to his brother, Royal Gill, he
declared that he was through with
flying.
'It's only a question of time," he
said, in effect. Pm going to quit be-
fore it gets me-"
Under the care of the brother to
whom he wrote these words, his body
is being brought to his family in Bal
timore. 1t will be taken Immediately
to the home of his brother, NJ. Gillet
Gill, at Roland Park, where the fu.
neral will be held.
Mrs. Alice Gill, mother of the daring
young aviator, arrived in Baltimore
from Atlantic City, where she had
been since the early spring.
Royal Gill. a brother of Howard
was in Chicago and was present on
the aviation field when the accident
occurred.
Howard Gill seemed born for a lie
of thrills and sensations. AS far back
as 1904, when the automobile speed
mania first struck the country, he be
came affected by the craze and has
always been anxious to go into al
sports where there was a real risk
