Thinks He Saw Titanic.

Charles Grove. third officer Of the Ley
land liner California, believes he saw the
Titanic strike the iceberg on the night of
April IA Grove testified yesterday bef re
the commission that he was on watch
on tn californian when the vessel re-
ferred to previously as the ship of mys-
the catastrophe.
He declared that at 11:4o-almost at
the moment when the Titanic struck the
iceberg-the lights Of the steamer which
he was watching were shut out. He be-
iieved that the turning of the steamer
two points to port (which the Titanic Is
said to have done Immediately after the
impacO would account for this.
Groves fellow-oficers disagree with
him, but from the remarks Of Lord Mer-
sey. president of the inquiry, he concurs
in the belief of Grove.
Grove testified that he was certain the
steamship he saw was passenger steam
er, her two masthead lights being one of
the grounds for his belief He declared he
reported to the captain. who came up on
the bridge, that she was a passenger ship,
but that the captain thought otherwise.
Grove tried to signal her with a Morse
lamp. but failed. The capital nhad said
that the only passenger steamer in the
vicinity was the Titanic.
After Groves left the stand George F.
Stewart, chief officer of the Californian.
testified. Stewart said the second officer
told him that rockets had been seen, but
that he thought the flashes were in an
swer to signals which another ship fur
Their south had been sending up.
Replying to Solicitor General Sir John
Simon. the witness admitted that he
thought the signals indicated distress be-
cause they were white.
The witness continued that from the po-
sition in which the Californian lay all
night and the position Of the wreckage
seen in the morning he calculated the
Californian must have been thirty miles
from the Titanic.

Meeting Is Unsatisfactory.

It had been hoped that the time de-
sired by republicans and democrats for
discussing the tariff revision bills could
be determined at the meeting today and
some tentative dates fixed for the final
votes in the Senate.
1t IS generally accepted that unless an
agreement on dates for these final votes
is reached soon Congress will be unable
to adjourn before the national conven-
lions, and from that standpoint today's
meetings is said by the leaders to have
been unsatisfactory.
Outside of Senator Hepburn, most of
the members of the committee showed
desire to close the debate on the tariff
bills soon, to vote on them within a
short time and to adjourn before the
meeting of the national conventions.

WILL VOTE TOMORROW
ON FREE SUGAR MEASURE
Wool Tariff Revision Will Be
Taken Up in the Senate
Next Tuesday.

The Senate finance committee today
agreed to vote on the free sugar and ex-
else tax bills tomorrow and on the wool
bill next Tuesday. They are the only tar
if revision measures passed by the demo-
cratic House upon which the Senate
finance committee has not acted. The
metals and chemical revision bills were
ordered adversely reported some time ago.
There was much talk in the committee
this morning looking to an agreement be-
tween republicans and democrats as to
dates for voting on the tariff revision
bills in the Senate. Senator Hepburn,
however, objected to the fixing OF def
mite dates and the talk did little to clari-
fly the situation and insure an early adj
journment.

refused the lifebelts, saying there was
no danger. The stewards had difficulty
in getting the women to go to the boat
deck, but succeeded in inducing two lots

naiity of thought and II is expected that

test should know that the health depart
ment appreciates the interest they have
shown in a matter so vitality affecting the
welfare of the city and, accordingly, they
have decided to present certificates as
acknowledgment OF that appreciation.

 IN THE COURTROOM
Man Found Guilty of Murder sIashes
 Throat With Glass.

New York, Jan 16.-Just after the dismissal of jury which late today found Joseph Ferrone guilty of mur- der in the first degree for killing his wife, Ferrone created a scene of in tense excitement in the courtroom by trying to take his life, slashing his throat viciouSy with fragments of glass that he had concealed in his hands. Court attendants bounced on him before he could inflict more than superficial wounds. The incident 50 excited George w. Gammock, one of the Jurymen, that he collapsed when he reached the corridor outside the chamber, falling heavily to the marble flooring. He was picked up uncon- scious with deep laceratfon in the back of his head and after treatment by a surgeon was taken home.
 Ferrone nearly collapsed when the verdict was announced and managed to make 8 desperate attempt to con- troi himself as he replied to ques- tiens when his pedigree was being taken.
 'My wife took her own life: you have taken mine" he gasped out, as the questioning ceased. A moment later attendants saw the glint of glass between his fingers as he raised his hand to his throat The courtroom was in an uproar as Ferrone was over powered and removed to the Tombs, where his wounds were treated. He will be arraigned for sentence Friday
