Tell Different Stories.

ST. JOHN, N. B. Special.-Taking
direct issue with Captain Moore, DIR.
+. .. Quitzman, OF Toronto. a passen-
ger on the Mount Temple, reiterated
today that he actually Witnessed the
sinking of the Titanic from the deck
of the Canadian Pacific liner Dr.
Quitzman has consented to go to
Washington and testify before the
Senate committee.
The man that says 1 deliberately
refused to go to the aid of the Titanic
or disregarded her signals tells a de-
hberate lie" declared Captain Moore
10 nave such reports circulated about
a seaman is terrible. That passenger
VINO says he saw the sinking of the
Titanic from my ship is either looking
Tor notoriety. or trying to get even
for something.
He would have been below at the
ume and would not have known what
course l was steering.
About 800 Sunday night. April
I4th, the Carpathia passed us and il
was 12;SO when L first picked up a
c. q. D.. from the Titanic. That
message gave her position as longi-
Jude 5000 west. L was then fifty
miles away from her. westbound. /
immediately altered my course and
started back toward the position given
me by the Inflated ship. l called to
my chief engineer and told him to
keep the ship at full speed. Later l
received another wireless from the
Titanic giving her position as SOFA.
That would be a difference of ten
miles.
Il got out all the lifeboats and
made ready to swing over the COM
panion ladder.
Food was prepared and, in fact.
everything was done to prepare for
the welcome of ship wreck survivors.
We raced along all night until we
came TO a big field of ice, but saw
nothing Of the Titanic.
Il had 1900 passengers on board
my ship and was perpleXed what to
do. l did not want to pillow with full
speed through that icefeld: it was
too dangerous. 1 still kept up the
search, but at greatly reduced speed.
Finally 1 became convinced that we
could do no good and returned to
my original course"

SWEARS HE SAW
DISTRESS signal

NEW YORK. Special Ernest
Gill, n donkey engineman on the
Leyland liner Californian, who
stopped OF i'm New York on his
way from Boston to Washington
TO testify before the Senate COM
mittee investigating the Titanic
horror, declared here that
the White Star liners signals of
distress were seen on the Cali
fOrnian, which was but few
miles away, but were ignored by
Captain Stanley Lord.
Gill said that ne would swear
TO the truth of this charge upon
his arrival I'm Washington. The
engineman further alleged that
Captain Lord was informed be-
tween 1890 and 12:I5 ON Monday
morning that the Titanic was
sinking.
GilPs story, I'm part, is as fol-
lows:
Captain Lord was in his cabin at
the time the signal rockets were seen.
He at once gave orders 10 heave to
and stand by the White Star ship.
The Californian encountered a dan
gerous field of ice, and Captain Lord
rather than run the risk OF sinking
his ship. turned about to avoid the
ice. At the time. learned from Off
GERS the next day, Captain Lord did
thought the sinking ship was a tramp
freighter."
Gill further said that he is pre-
pared to swear that he saw two
rockets fired from the StarbOard
bow of the Titanic. The first he
saw ne thought was a shooting
star. The second he saw clearly.
Others on the Californian saw the
signals also, Gill charges.
The wireless operator on the
Californian mad already gone to
bed, Gill said. Gill said the stew
ard rushed to the wireless mans
bunk after the rockets had been
fired, and, tearing him from the
bunk, eXclaimed:
For Gods sake get your key.
Somebody Is sending up rockets,
and we have done nothing"
At this time, Gill says, the engines
of the Californian were stopped be.
cause of the ice.
Later in the morning the wireless
operator caught a message from the
Allan liner Nirginian, stating that the
Titanic had sunk. AS soon as Captain
Lord discovered that it was the tt
tanic, which had sunk, he started vi
his engines, Gill declared, and, despite
the foe. started off at full speed fol
the spot where the great liner haC
sunk. The Californian cruised about
for time, but saw neither survivor:
nor bodies.
The Leyland liner arrived at Bos
ton last Friday.

RICHESON STILL
HOPES TO BE- SAVED

BOSTON, MASS Special Accord

by w. A. Morse. counsel for Clarence
V. I. Richeson, who is under death
sentence for the murder Of Avis Lin
nell, Governor Foss will be asked to
allow an insanity commission to eX-
anime the condemned man.
Morse said that if the Governor
granted the request he thought the
chances of saving his clients life
would be much more favorable. The
plea, upon which the request for
clemency is asked, will be based upon
two points, it is said. Firstly. that
Richeson has had an abnormal mind

Accused Of being of several ma
tionalities he is of Irish parent
age. He was contemporary to
Ban Johnson, as sporting editor
in Cincinnati and the personal
bitterness which has marked
their baseball careers, began at
that time.
JTntile 1908 Murphy Wrote

acquired the Giants he took Muir

Murphy secured an option and
induced Charles P. Taft to buy

The Ellamar mine which has been
a considerable copper producer is
turning into a gold mine. In fact
the gold values are now netting it
the largest returns.
AS depth was attained the copper
values grew less and less and fin
ally when there was but two per
cent copper in the ore taken out,
it was a serious question whether
operations could be continued at a
profit.
But it was found the gold values
kept increasing until they amounted
to SIG per ton, affording profit,
and the mine is now being operated
for the gold. Even with the little
actual mining that has been done in
this part of Alaska, as to depth,
compared with the great extent OF
territory in which mineral indica-
tons abound, mining men have been
treated to many surprises and no
one is able to say what may develop
with more extensive mining opera
tions. The one fact stands out above
all others, no known tract of such
large extent is so heavily mineraliz-
ed so far as surface indications are
concerned.
