that before its close there will have

the officers on the bridge. This, he
claimed yesterday, he was unable to
do.
The following has been told at the
inquiry. Great quantities of loose
cork were found floating Immediately
after the Titanic sank, probably from
the worthless life "preservers" that
had burst as soon as donned by vic
Tins. If the lookout had been pro-
vided with a pair of $50 binoculars he
would have sighted the iceberg early
enough to have avoided collision but

under eleven distinct heads, concluding
with what he termed zone of the most

Mr.. Taft's speech bristled with
counter charges against his predeces-

represented him, had falsely distorted
some of his public utterances, had
failed to live up to his policy Of
square dealing, and had violated a
solemn promise to the American peo-
