sage early Monday morning, which
was sent to the White Star and an
nounced the sinking of the vessel
about ten hours before the company
admitted the loss.
Senator Smith has announced that
he will examine the man today. He
believes the testimony will throw new
and important light on the facts.
Jack Binns, the operator who saw
ed the passengers and crew on the
Republic, said the responsibility for
lack of news rested on Operator Cot
tam of the Carpathia. The equipme nj
of the Carpathia was good for 200
miles, but the news, he said, could
have been sent to the Californian
