But the. committee wants to
hear it, said Smith.
Lowe flushed, and glanced
around the room, his gaze falling
nervously on Ismay, who sat
with his head bowed.N There
were many women present.

so.
There was nothing of great i'm
portance brought out by Loves
testimony.
Major Peuchen, millionaire
yachtman Of Canada, yesterday
told the committee that the crew
of the Titanic was such as no
great liner should have put to sea
with.
Peuchen said many of the crew
were not trained seamen, and
that they never had worked to-
gether before the Titanic drew
out of Southampton.
twas to this fact that Peuchen
laid the undermining of the life
boats, and the fact that number
of the sailors in the boats could
not row.
Senator Smith asked Lowe
about these things.
THAT none of the crew could
row is easily explained. A sailor

Lowe, was much embarrassed
in telling of his speech to Ismay
before the Senate Investigation

be induced to speak the words he

Ismay, it appears, was about
the busiest person aboard the I'll

iceberg.
Lowe was loading boat No. 5
with women and children. Ismay
appeared on the scene, and began
to take charge of loves work,

where those who did get in should

ROCkkEFELLER'S INTERESTS
Claim They Did Not Mean to Absorb
the Waters Pierce Oil Co.

st. Louis, July 22.-Afidavits of
John ID. Rockefeller and Is other
stockholders of the Waters-Pieree Oh
co. were filed in the United States
district court, today, in the suit of
II. NJ. Tllford against II. c. Pierce
and the Pierce and board of diree-
tors of the Waters Pierce Oil Co Til
ford is seeking to GUST the Pierces
and their directors from control of
the company.
The aflidavits set up the fact that
Rockefeller and 10 other stockholders
owned a certain number of shares of
the Oil Cos stock and had a legal
right to vote those shares, last Feb
ruary, but that the Pierces through
their election tellers, refused To re-
ceive the ballots.
Iilford's suit lis result of the nght
made by the Standard Oil officials and
stockholders to regain control of the
waters Pierce Oil Co. The Standard
interests own a majority of the stock
The Rockefeller affidavit states that
1t was not the purpose to place the
Waters-Pierce Co. under control of the
Standard Oil CO., and that there was
no understanding that the Waters
Pierce Co. was to be conducted SO as
to violate any law, as the Pierces allege
to their answer inscourt.

writing of his speech of acceptance
of the Democratic Presidential NOM
nation. There are, perhaps, a score
of persons who know where he went,
but how long he will be away is a
problem as yet unsolved by even the
Governor himself. The speech of ac-
ceptance is to reflect his attitude on
the leading questions of the hour and
on the platform adopted at Baltimore.
He may be gone two days, or three,
or. possibly four
The Governor left the Little

impossible to greet personally the
scores of persons who have been COM
ing there daily to wish him well and
at the same time find opportunity to
write his speech. He went to the
home of a friend not far from Sea

are his family, his secretaries, VIM. #.

the newspaper correspondents at Sea

stump for Wilson," Senator Reed said
afterwards "A Missouri Democrat Is one
of those fellows who takes off his coat
and starts to work for the ticket as soon
as the convention is over. Champ Clark
is a Missouri Democrat"
Senator Stone said he talked with Gov
ernor Wilson about his plans for the
campaign. They had also discussed de-
