PROBING TO THE BOTTOM.

New York, April l9.-The serious
ness Of the inquiry by the Senate in
yestigating committee into the Titanic
disaster was disclosed, tonight, when
Senator Smith of Michigan. chairman
OF the committee as first fatty refused
to let any eff the officers or the 200
odd members of the crew of the sunk
en- steamship get beyond the jurisdic-
ton of the United States government.
The men We're all to have sailed. to-
morrow. on the Red Star liner lap
land. Later it was settled that the
greater part of the crew would be per-
mitted To sail on this steamer, but
that the l. men and four officers
among the survivors now under sub
poena together with Mr. Ismay would
net be permitted to depart.
The committee adjourned until 10
o'clock. tomorrow morning
The first days testimony brought to
the front the apparent conclusion that
the greatest ship which was ever
built, "a life boat in ITSELF" accord :
ing to the views of modern shipbuild-
ers' sank in md-ocean with more
than 1900 human beings because she
was being rushed across the ocean
almost at top speed and crashed in
to a field of icehergs after warnings
had been given to look out.
That 50 few were saved from watery
graves was seemingly because there
We're not enough lifeboats on board
to accommodate the passengers. There
We're only 20 lifeboats because the
Titanic was believed to be unsink-
able.
This state of affairs appeared after
the committee had examined, today,
j. Bruce IsInay. managing director of
the White Star Line: Arthur Henry
Rostron captain of the rescue ship
Carpathia; Second Officer Lightholl-
der of the Titanic, who went down
with the ship, but was afterwards
rescued; William Marconi, inventor of
the wireless telegraph Thomas Cot
tam. the wireless operator of the Car
pathia, and other survivors from the
sunken steamship.

TEN INVALUABLE MINUTES.
Extra Time by carpathia's Wireless
Operator Saves 745 Lives.

New York. April 19.-How the wire
less operator on the Carpathia by
putting in an extra 10 minutes on
duty was means of saving 745 lives
was told by DIR. J. F. Kemp. the Car
pathia's physician, today.
"Our wireless OPERATOR said DR..
Kemp, was about to retire, Sunday
night, when he said jokingly: I guess
I'll wait just 10 minutes, then
turn in
1T was in the next 10 minutes that
the THAMES call for help came. Had
the wireless operator not waited there
would have been no survivors"
DR. Kemp described the iceberg
which sank the Titanic as at least
400 feet long and 80 feet high. He said
that one of the boats that the Car
pathia picked up was filled with
stokers from the sunken liner
at had just two women aboard, =
he said.
"The Carpathia cruised through the
ice field near the spot where the III
tanic sank and picked up the bodies
of three men and one baby.
ION Monday at $50 o'clock in the
evening, we held a funeral service on
board the Carpathia," continued DIR.
Kemp. AT this service there We're
80 widows, 20 of whom were under %
years OF age and most of them brides
of few weeks or months. They did
not know their husbands We're among
the dead of the disaster. The Calffor-
MAN and the Burmah. the last named
a Russian steamer. cruised about the
scene of the wreck for some time in
futile search for the bodies of the
victims

RYAN WINNER
OF Boston Marathon, with
New Record for Race.
Andrew SoCkaIexis OF Old Town,
Maine, a Close Second.
Ryan's Time, 2.2l.l8 l.5..he Will
Probably Make Olympic Team.

Boston, April 19.-Mike ]. Ryan of
the Irish-American A. c. of New
York won the Boston Athletic AS
ISOLATION 18th Marathon, today, and
probably qualified for the American
Olympic team to Stockholm.
Ryan established new record for
the course of hours. q minutes. Is
LIS seconds. The old record was made
in 1910 by DeMar of hours, y min
utes, SO 3-5 seconds.
Andrew Sockalexis, the Old Town,
Me, Indian, was second.
Ryan was looked upon as a strong
contender for Marathon honors, this
year. in the light of past perform
ances, especially his winning of the
London Harriers race, last summer.
The bid of SockaleXis for first place,
which he missed by "a seconds, was
the feature of the record finish. The
Old Town Indian, running under the
colors of the North Dorchester A.
e, came through the field on the
home stretch like a whirlwind and
would probably have caught Ryan in
another mile.
The times of the first 10 men were
as follows:
NJ. ]. Ryan, Irish American, New
York, 221.15 1-5.
A. SockaIexis, North Dorchester,
Mass. 2.21.52 3-5.
F. J. Madden, North Dorchester,
2.23.34.
T. II. Lilley, North Dorchester,
1850 As.
Fritz corlson, Minneapolis, 2.25.5s
LIS.
j. c. Carlson, Minneapolis. 2.25.5O.
II. F. Jensen, Pastime A. c., New
York 22607.
r E. Piggott. unattached, 2.26.4S As.
Edwin Fabre, National A. A, Mon
treal, 226.20.
William Calvin, Yonkers. 226.50.
The new record was partly due to
the great pace set by John J. Gal
Iagher of Yale University over the Is
hardest miles from Natick to the turn
into Beacon street. Gallagher ran
himself out four miles from the fin
ish. but he dragged Ryan and Sock
alexis along at such a gait that they
would have cut minutes instead of
seconds from the record had the roads
near the finish been less miry.
Clarence DeMar of the North Dor
chester a. c., whose last years rec
ord was shattered, today, has been
practically assured of a place on the
Olympic team with Ryan.
The second 10 who finished were:
Harry ]. Smith, Pastime A. c.; A.
K. Sturgis, Acme A c.; S. w. Root.
Philadelphia; w. Rosetta, Pastime A.
c.; Sidney Hatch, Chicago: Andrew
Hermeouatewa, Carlisle; Joseph ].

"PooH! THIS is NOTHING"
Response of Col. Astor, When Life
Belt Was rendered.

New York. April 19.-Colonel John
Jacob Astor refused to take a life belt
when it was presented to him by one
of the walters of the Titanic. This is

to William David, a saloon passenger
of the Carpathia.
HE was approached by a frantic
waiter" said David, land urged to put
on a life preserver. Colonel Aston
waved the waiter away by saying:
Pooh, this is nothing. There is no
need Of life belts. This was the last
seen of Mr. Aston
u. Bruce Ismay was pulled on board
the Carpathia from a lifeboat. He was
clad in pajamas. He collapsed upon
reaching the deck and was in n semi
conscious condition for some time aft
erwards.'

Saved by a Cake of Ice.

New York, April ia huge cake of
ice was the means of aiding Emilio
Portaluppi of Ariogabo. Italy, in es-

sion of one of the boilers of the ship.
He hurried to the deck, strapped life

bald w. Butt, on the Titanic was
told. today. in an interview given to
the Washington Stars staff CORE
