CAPT. LORD DENIES
SEEING SIGNALS OF
TITANIC ASKING AID

Capt Stanley Lord Of the Californian
told the investigating committee yester-
day afternoon that he had seen no dis
tress signals from the Titanic on the
night Of the disaster, denying the charge
Of Ernest Gill. the donkey engineman,
that he had seen the signals and had
ignored them. About 1918 O'Clock that
night the Californian notified the Titanic
of the abundance OF ice.
How far were the Californian and the
Titanic apart when you sent your mes
sage to the Titanic telling her you were
blocked In the ice?''
From the position we had Of the IT,
tanic we were about nineteen and one
half miles apart -
IF you had received the Titanic's dis
tress call Sunday evening after your
communication with the Titanic how long
would 1t have taken you TO reach her?'

Refusal Of the Carpathia.

Senator Smith read into the record the
following note from Operator Young OF
the United States naval wireless station
at the New York navy yard:
"Carpathia would at no time acknowl-
edge receipt Of a message from navy
ships or stations. This station called
them at $50 pm. April IS. when she was
trying to get into communication with
New York stations, but her operator re-
fused to take any assistance from us
This was the only station she could WORK
at that time, as no other station could
hear her. YOUNG. Operator"

James L. Tryon. secretary Of the Mas

existing international courts. the perma-

the court Of international justice-and the
international prize court. He sees no need

position nineteen and a half miles away
from the Titanic, 1t would have been Inn
possible to see either the Morse signals
or the distress signals.
Capt. Lord said that IL the operator had
been on duty he would have caught the
THAMES signal. An operator on duty In
the day. he said. was of more service than
to remain on duty at night, because there
were so many one-operator ships that one
got more information in the day than al
night. when the other operators were
asleep.
'tBut your passengers are asleep al
night" suggested Senator Smith. Would
1t not be better to have your operator

Heard Talk About Signals.
Cyril Evans, wireless operator Of the
Californian. testified that he turned in al
11:3 Sunday night. and never heard any
distress signal from the Titanic.
At 9:O5 New York time, at the captain
direction he notified the Titanic that the
Californian WAS going 10 stop On ACCOUNT
Of the ice. He then sent this message:
"-Say old man, we are surrounded by
ice and he said shut up. am working
with Cape Race and that I had damned
him.
after that I heard him sending private
message to Cape Race"
Did any one tell you about Capt. Lord
having been Informed three times that
night about ship sending up rockets?''
asked Senator Smith.
Il think Gibson. the apprentice, told me
that the captain was being called and
told aabout the rockets" said Evans.
THE men on the ship talked about It
among themselves generally, did they?''
There was lot Of talk while we were
on our way to the scene Of the wreck.
