Navigation Laws Denounced

acting under their superior orders.
Discussing the causes of the disas-
ter the senator said:
1T seems to be universally conceded
that this ship was not equiPuod with
sufficient number OF hfeboats 10 pro,
vide for the safety of its passengers
There may have been a sufficient mum.
Der in accordance with the rules Of the
British board of trade, but il is con,
ceded fact that the great loss OF life
occurred because there was an INSULT
cient number TO meet the necessities
OF the case and rescue the passengers
and crew.
THE failure of foreign steamships
TO carry searchlights is utterly mex
cusable, and if a proper searchlighr
had been upon this vessel, in my judg
ment, the accident could have been
avoided. The failure 10 supply the
proper officers with binoculars was un
questionably an act of negligence, ss
pecially as | gather from the testi
mony that demand had been made
by the proper officers for them. anC
the demand had been refused.
There was not the proper attention
paid to the wireless messages that The
ship received. This appears to me Il
have been an ineXcusable act of negli
eenCe.
The speed of the vessel was no
lowered, as it should have been, wheI
notice was received that she was il
a dangerous zone. My own judgmen
therefore is that there was negligence
in this case and that the disaster wa
attributable TO the want of due carr
upon the part of the company and O
er tribunals will determine upon thi
question unaffected by any conclusion
that We may arrive at in the premises.

Washington, May Discussing
the Titanic disaster in the senate yes
terday, Senator Rayner of Maryland
denounced the United States admiralty
and navigation laws as an incongru-
Gus collection OF antiuuated statutes,
which should be repealed and reenact-
ed so as to meet the necessities OF

Senator Rayner dWelt at length on the
lesson of religious faith" that the Ii
tanic disaster should have taught and
asserted that the country needs Sc
we're lessons that will strengthen the
pillars and affairs Of its faith"
On this point the senator said:
I'VE are to a large extent today de-
flying the ordinances of God, and the
sooner we awaken to realizing sense
of our responsibility the better it Will

one side and restitution and poverty
on the other 1t takes a terrible warn
ing to bring us back to our moorings
and our senses. We are abandoning
the devout and simple lives of our
ancestors, and the fabric of our fire
sides is weakening at the foundation.
If this disaster teaches no lesson or
points no moral then let US pass it by
with stoical Indifference, until the
next disaster comes, and in the mean
time let the carnival go on. May the

Senator Rayner urged legislation
that would make the controlling Off,
GERS of corporations criminally respon

management of the corporations they
control After a discussion of the
present methods Of corporation Organt
cation, Senator Rayner said:
There is another lesson that this

to be one of general application, and
that is the lesson of corporate respon
