NOT WISE TO INCREASE
L|FEBOATS, HE SAYS
White Star Official Declares
Present Liner Equipment
Sufficient.

LONDON, June 6.-The disaster to the
steamer Titanic has done little to alter
the views of Harold A. Sanderson, a d.
rector Of the White Star line. as to the
sufficiency Of the present equipment OF
transatlantic steamers for all practical
purposes.
Mr.. Sanderson was recalled by the
wreck commission today and disputed the
usefulness Of additional lifeboats. of
searchlights. binoculars and larger crews
of seamen, but he added: There is a
popular cry for binoculars and extra
boats, and we want to satisfy it,
There are," continued Mr.. Sanderson.
certain risks coming from the sea which
it is impossible to eliminate, just as there
are on land"
Opposes Searchlights.
The witness emphasized the fact that
small boats were carried only for the
purpose Of transferring persons from ship
to ship or from ship to land. and said
that il more seamen were carried in or
der to man additional boats they would
have nothing to do until there was a
wreck. Searchlights. he declared, would
be worse than useless; they would be a
thing possible for lookout is the glare
Of light :
Questioned regarding the space given
up for the accommodation OF wealthy
passengers, Sanderson replied:
IF there were anything more that we
could do to insure the safety of passen-
gers the miIlionaires' suites would not
stand in the way
lie attributed the greater loss Of life
among the third-class passengers of the
Titanic to the fact that the best position
for launching the boats happened to be
nearest the first and second class
quarters.
Mr. Sanderson said that sixty boats
would be required to accommodate all
the passengers and crew of the Titanic.
Such a number, he added. would be
ridiculous, and 1 do not think 1t would
be possible. 1t would make the ship
tender In the interests of public safety
consider that it is not necessary and
not wise that there should be boatage
accommodation for every passenger and
member Of the crew"
