WASHINGTON, April 24.-Harold G. Lowe, fifth officer of the sunken Titanic, told today the senate 1nvestl- gating committee his part in the struggle of the survivors for life fol- lowing the catastrophe. His tesu- mony developed that with volunteer crew he rescued four men from the water, saved a sinking collapsible life boat by towing it astern of his, and took twenty men and one woman from the bottom of an overturned boat. Every one of those under his charge he landed safely on the Carpathia.
 From first to last Loves story showed that he played the man. or dered away in charge of l1feboat NO. IA, he packed it to it's capaclty on the top deck, and fearing that some might attempt to jump into it while it was descending, kept up fus1llade from his revolver. Once after ne took charge of f1otilla of small craft which eventually were picked up by the rescuing ship, without the loss of a life.
 TeIeerams Exchanged.
 Competing in interest with the day s testimony was the interchange or telegrams between Senator William Alden Smith, chairman, and the act ing premier of Canada, George E. Foster.
 The latter told of the docking 1f the steamer Mount Temple at St Johns, N. B., with passengers abroad who claimed to have seen the Titanic sink. It was believed the Mount Tenn pie was the ship that was only live miles from the White Star liner wher she took her final plunge.
 Senator Smith has requested thai the dispositions of the officers ant crew of the Mount Temple be sen him. In addition he accepted thF offer of Dr. E. c. Quitzman of Toron to, to appear before the committed Dr. QuitZman was one of the passen gers who said they saw the Titani i sink.
