HASTE OF SENATOR
 SMITH EXPLAINED Wished to Prevent lsmay's
 Return to England MIR. ISMAY PROTESTS Declares Inquiry Is Uniust-His Con- science Is Clear, He Says-Took Chance of Escape When It
 Came to Him
MR. IsMAY PROTESTS

New York. April Explanation of why Senator Smith of Michigan. chairman of the Senate committee named to inves- tirate the Titanic disaster, hurried to New York Thursday night to begin the n- qtdry was made today when 1t became known that a wireless message sent by N Bruce Ismay, president of the Interna- tional Mercantile Marine, 10 Mr. Franklin. asking that the Cedric be stopped to take Mir Ismay and the survivors of the Ti- tanic crew on board. was intercepted by government boat and sent to Washing ton
 Why Smith Hurried
 Senator smith is s i'd to have said he had understood in Washington that such messages had been exchanged. and that ihis was one ot the reasons the investis gaton had been started without loss of time or delay.
 J. Bruce Ismay discussed the work of the Senate Investigating committee, which he characterized as brnta1ly unfair. He said:
 "I cannot understand this sensational in- quiry. They are going at il in manner that seems star chamber and unjust. the injustice lies heavily upon me. can not pl otect myself by having my counsel ask questions. Do not nllSuhdelFttllu llS by this by infeffing tefefnse to answefa questions frankly. On the contrary, I intend to simplify involved meanings
 Conscience Is Clear
 Discussing his parture from the IT. tanic, MT fsmay said:
 sI have scared my mind with deepest study. I have thought long over each single incident that | could remember and reduced it to writing. I am sure 1 did nothing that | should not have done. My conscience is fclear, and 1 have not been "a 1enient judge of my acts.
 T tel you. that if l thought that in the slightest way I had done. anythin. wrong I wouIs never have another happ1 moment. I took the chance of escape when il came 10 me. did not seek it Every woman and child had been cared for before l left the vessel
 And. moreover, the men within reach had been taken care of before I took my turn in tic boat And why should not have pursued this course? There are no classes among passengers in snafn an emergency. I was 2 human being 1t is true I am an official. but I did not consider mv office distinguishing myself from the ordinary tourist. took no mans place
