Why President of U. s.
 Was Denied Wreck News

Continued from Page One)
 Did the Marconi Company secure the suppression of all of its stations to expedite the receipt of news?" asked Smith. ''It did," answered Marconi.
 The inventor said it would have been very difficult to have sent de- tailed account of the Titanic disaster but that a meagre account of the facts could have been flashed from the Carpathia. The witness said there was special clause in his com pany's agreement with the steamship lines that in emergencies the captain might censor all messages.
 Smith recalled that Bride did not leave the sinking ship until a few minutes before it sank because the captain had not given him permission have been better to compensate Bride In some other way for his bravery than to merely allow him to sell his story to single newspaper?'
 Fes, the witness Said concluding his testimony, "Binns was compensat- ed by the company"
 Harold T. Cottam, the Carpathia's wireless operator, was the next wit ness. He recited for the second time his story of the Titanics sinking. 1t was mostly repetition of his testi. mony in New York.
 COme at once, We nave struck a berg. It is a e. o. D." was the wireless message Cettam said he re- ceived at 11:20 Sunday night, (New York time), giving the Titanic's po- sition.,
 Cottam declared he "gave good night" to the Canadian steamer Mount Temple about 10:S0 p. m, but did not know her position.
 During the afternoon I heard the Californian and other ships talking about ice," said Cottam, but got no warning of ice that can remember. l spoke to the Californian, the Olym- pic and Baltic, but not the Amerika or Frankfort. had the Helig Olaf some time Sunday after lunch."
 The young operator said after dark 1t is impossible to judge how far dis tant other ships are by the strength of their wireless waves. Cottam tes- tified the scout cruiser Chester first asked the Carpathia Tor a list of the survivors. Cottam said he got a mes- sage from Commander Decker, of the Chester, inquiring about Major Butt but he did not report 1t to the cap tain of the Carpathia.
 You did not know that was from the President?' asked Smith. No" the witness said. "It was not signed except by Commander Decker"
 Cottam declared he received no wireless communications from Mar conf or Sammis or persons signing their names.
