H.rder's Story Corroborated.

The story told by George A. Harder Of
BROOKLYN. regarding what he believed
was failure Of the watertight compart-
ment doors on the Titanic was corrob-
Grated Yesterday by mechanical enEi-
neer who was also one Of the survivors
of the wreck. Senator Smith said his
name was something like Chamberlain.
'If YOU say Chamberlain YOU won't
be very far wrong" said the Senator
There was B. c. Chamberlain. who
was reported 10 be an engineer. who was
saved from the wreck.
Chamberlain" as Senator Smith
called him. testified that he also had
noted the brass plates 10 which Harder
referred. and that he knew this plate
had to be removed TO enable the work
men 10 reach a lever Embedded in the
deck. This lever, Chamberlain" testi-
fed. was an emergency appliance for
closing the doors of the watertight com
partments when the lever worked from
the bridge failed TO work.
The record of the inquiry shows tina,
there was no test of the watertight COM
partments, and, in fact, there were nc
tests of detail appliances Of any kind.
Belvedere Brooks, general manager OF
the Western Union. and w. w. Cook
general counsel Of the Postal, talked tC
Senator Smith yesterday, and each OF
them promised to have careful search
made in their respective organizations
for any further messages that might
throw light on any of the questions
brought up in the inquiry.
The Postal company announced later
that the Ismay message to Franklin
which was delayed for two days was
filed with the Canadian Pacific Railway
