SINKS
AFTER CRASH

SEATTLE. Wash, April 2s.-Several
persons were injured. the Sound steam
er Telegraph was sunk and the Cole
man dock. n Of the finest passenger
piers OF the Pacific coast. was wrecked
last night when the Alaska Steamship
Company's big steamship Alameda got
beyond control, as she was being taken
into her berth at pier No. 2, and ploWed
through the dock. AS far as known no
lives were lost.
The Alameda, in command Of Captain
John A. O'Brien. Puget sound pilot for
the Alaska Steamship Company, was
returning to her berth at the south
side OF pier No. 2, from the Standard
Oil wharf, where she had gone to take
on fuel oil.
AS the big steamship approached the
pier Captain O'Brfen signaIied the en-
gine-room for slow speed to enable the
vessel to make the sharp turn into the
slip. Eeither through a misunderstand-
ing of signals or because of the failure
of the engine-room telegraph, the Ala
media started full speed ahead toward
the dock.
Captain o'Brien saw that the crash
could not be averted and tied down the
whistle to warn the people in the wait
ing-room On the m of the pier of their
danger. Three women who were among
the injured were crushed In the panic
stricken crowd that surged through
the doors leading from the waiting
room.
The Telegraph, which had just dis
charged her passengers, was in the
path OF the Alaska liner and was cut
in two. The little vessal sank slowly
and the crew had time to escape by
jumping into the water. It is believed
that all were picked UP.

Mr.. Franklin was again questioned
at length as to the capitalization, bond
issues and other financial affairs Of the
company. He was asked also IL any at
tempt was made by the White Star line
to enjoin silence or secrecy on any of1-
Ger or employee of the Carpathia. To
the best of his knowledge there was no
such. attempt. Senator Smith appeared
TO be of the opinion that If it be true
hat the white Star can control the
action of the Leyland 1t might be able
to exercise some influence with Off
Gals of the Cunard line. which owns
the Carpathia.

Mr.. Franklin said that he had filed
with the committee all messages re-
ceived by him from the Carpathia,
whether from passengers or crew.
Again Mr.. Franklin. who is vfce-presi-
dent of the White Star lines, went into
details regarding the efforts to get ac-
curate information about the Titanic
following the disaster.
The reason for this line Of question
ing became evident when Senator
Smith read from the Anaconda, North
Dakota, Standard Of Monday morning.
April is. q detailed and accurate ac-
count of the sinking OF the Titanic,
giving the time she struck Oh Sunday
night and the hour hat her lights dis
appeared from the ocean.
Mr.. Smith said he read this to show
that in North Dakota they apparently
knew more Of the Titanic disaster
than did the White Star officials in
New York at that time.
Senator Smith read a cablegram
from Mr.. Franklin to the Liverpool
Office of the White Star line, sent at
