New York, April 20.-The commit
tee this morning investigated the de-
lay in getting the news of the disaster
ashore and the false reports alleged
to have been issued by the White Star
line Thomas Cottam, the wireless
operator an the Carpathia testified as
follows:
81 sent several messages to the
steamer Baltic, but kept no record of
them, l was too busy sending. AT
1890 o'clock Monday morning | sent
all the details to the Baltic. 1t was
the whole story The Baltic was COM
ing toward the wreck at the time.
81 was not in touch with the land
stations then. ! It'd the Baltic of the
Titanics sinking, and of the rescue
of those we had picked up. l told
them we were going to New York.
81 did not send at any time a re-
port that the passengers and crew
had been saved, and that the Titanic
was being towed into port. Nothing
like that was sent, or suggested to
me by any officer passenger or any
one else aboard the Carpathla."
Chairman Smith then asked:
Tracing the Report.
"lf the White Star line sent out the
following message on April 18th to
Congressman Hughes, In Philadel-
phia: 'Hhe Titanic Is proceeding to
Halifax and the passengers probably
Will reach New York ON Wednesday,;
all safe. If such a message had been
sent out at any time, would it have
been there. ="
ut would not" declared Cottam.
The operator said he never attempt
ed to withhold the exact facts of the
disaster and insisted that no message
reached the Carpathia on Monday in
dicating that II was rumored that all
were safe, and that the Titanic was
being towed into port.
Cottam declared that he slept only
from eight to ten hours from Sunday
to Thursday night, working contin-
Nously up to Wednesday when Harold
Bride, the assistant wireless opera
tor of the Titanic relieved him for
brief interval.
The committee determined to re-
turn to Washington tonight and re-
sumo its hearings there next week.

run, who was quoted as saying that
the White Star line knew that the
Titanic had sunk hours before 1t was
announced, was subpoenaed.
