CHESTER OPERATOR BITTER

pathia about noon last Tuesday, the wire
less operators on the latter, apparently
acting under orders. refused to give US any
Information about the tragedy. They
merely answered our tnsistent inquiries by
crisply and summarily telling US to keep
out, adding that the Carpathia was taking
care Of things We naturally inferred
that the Titanic was being towed to port.
with some of those injured in the crash
aboard the Carpathia, and Il was not until
we reached Delaware Breakwater on Sat-
urday, four days later, that we learned Of
the sinking of the Titanic and subsequent
terrible loss Of life
II was thus that James Gaffney, chisf
wireless operator on the scout cruiser
Chester, described the way In which the
operators OF the Carpathia deliberately
misled" the ship that was officially sent
by the government to aid the Carpathia
to get the details Of the disaster.
The operators Of the Carpathia paid TO
attention to our messages until the power

ter threatened, by its proximity Of only
Few miles, TO overpower the equipment OF

Of us. that they told US they were taking

they We're taking care OF things by allow

Chester was only eleven miles or. 1t was
because we were given to infer that
things were all right that We proceeded to

last Saturday. four days after our COM
munications with the Carpathia, we
learned the true story OF the disaster
Captain Decker of the Chester went 10
Washington yesterday, and It was said that
he was in conference with officials there,
preliminary to the Senate Investigation.
James Gaffney and Frank Blackstock. the
wireless operators Of the cruiser, are con-
sidered among the most efficient operators
In the navy. The claim advanced by Har-
old Bride. surviving wireless operator OF
the Titanic, that the Chester's operators
were "wretched and did not know the con
| tinental Morse sufficiently to worth
while" ha5 been ridiculed by many naval
men who know the records held by Carney

"I was in communication with the Cali

+. y. 5. Franklin, vice president, and thir-
ty-seven members Of the crew OF the Titanic
arrived here tonight to continue testimony
before the Senate subcommittee which is
Investigating the loss of the liner
Messrs Franklin and Ismay were rushed
secretly to the New Willard Hotel. being
admitted through the rear entrance TO
avoid a large crowd of people and a bat
terry of photographers thronging the front
entrance and lobby. For nearly two hours
the management stoutly denied that the
steamship officials had arrived. but finally
admitted that a conference was being held
with : c. Nealc their local attorney.
Everything will come out before the
committee" almost begged Ismay when
surrounded by the newspaper men at the
Union station. He was vlsibly annoyed by
them. and forcibly showed some Of the
more persistent away from him.

pleaded. petulantly. when pressed for an
answer TO questions.
\ private carriage, containing Mr.. Neale,
was in front of the station and Messrs.
Ismay and Franklin were hurried to it,
slipping away from the photographers who
expected them to take a taxi-Cab. The
thirty-siX seamen were taken to a hotel
opposite the station and then were per-
mitted to stroll about the city. They re-
fused TO enter into conversation with
strangers. some of them showing spirit
when quizzed.

lsmay Kept to Himself.

Mr.. Ismay had his meals served to him
In his stateroom while coming from New
York, but the other members of his party
went to the diner. He Stunned all pub
licity and kept to himself as much az
possible, according TO those on the train.
The animosity of people is shown by
the action Of even the negro porters at the
Union Station" declared Charles c. Bur
linghame. jr, son OF the steamship COM
pany's New York counsel why, these
fellows wouldn't even carry my luggage for
me and seemed to desire TO snub the whole
party"
Extra police were stationed at the hotel
on account of the expected arrival Of Is
mays party. A large crowd had congre-
gated and murmurs Of enmity against the
head OF the White Star Line were heard.
Extra police were there to handle the
crowd
The conference OF the officials OF the COM
pany with their attorneys is understood 20

tmony to be given before the Senate COM

aster and TO agree with his colleague,
Charles c. Burlinghame, OF New York, on
the line OF defence.

der port your helm" was given some
time before the impact.
Still another idea has been suggested
to members of the committee in con-
nection with the ships on Pacific routes.
so far as has been ascertained-and the
unswOrn testimony OF passengers seem
to bear out the sworn testimony Of the
offlcers-the crew OF the Titanic stuck
to their posts like heroes, almost with
out exception seeking to perform their
duties and giving little or no thought to
their personal safety. Indeed, what more
vivid demonstration could be afforded
of this than the conduct Of the two wire
less operators--the survivor. at least a
mere boy--Who. even after their ap-
Daratus had been rendered useless by
the flooding OF the engine room. re-
mained at their post until told by the
captain TO look out for themselves Just
as the ship was about TO sink? The
liners on the Pacific are not manned
by Anglo Saxons, but by Orientals-
chiefly Cinnamon. How would they have
behaved under like circumstances?

Says France Will Cooperate.

Ambassador Jusserand told the Michigan
Senator that he called to express his graft
fcation at what had been accomplished by
the investigation and to make assurances
OF the desire OF the French government to
cooperate In improving conditions at sea.
The ambassador asked for any suggestions
looking toward an immediate improvement
in the protection of passengers.
Two suggestions were made BY Senator
Smith. The first was that every ship should
not only be equipped with wireless, but
that every ship should have two operators,
one constantly on duty. The other sugges-
ton was that there should be additional
life equipment on board ocean liners. in
Guiding lifeboat accommodations for every
passenger.
Senator Smith said to-day that no notice
or intlmation. either from officials or mem
bers OF the crew. Of objection TO the COM
mittees course had reached him.
81 am proceeding on the theory that what
we will obtain will be as valuable to them
as 10 us," said he.
Major Arthur Peuchen, OF Toronto, Can
ada. has notified Senator Smith that he
will be In Washington tomorrow to put his
story into the record. Lewis Klein Hun
garIan member Of the Titanic crew. has
been subpnnaed at Cleveland. lie will ap-
near before the committee TO verify a story
he related In that city Of his experiences
in the wreck.
