SUPPRESS REPORT

further to repudiate IN limitations
that he had sought In anyway to sup
press or delay new Of the sinking Of
the Titanic. Guglielmo Marconi, irfyen-
tor OF wireless telegraphy appeared to-
day for a third time before the Senate
committee Of inquiry into the disas-
ter.
Mr.. Marconi had discovered after
leaving Washington last week that he
had sent a message to the operator of
the steamship Carpathia urging him
to send news Of the disaster to the
wireless station at ~Siasconsetts, Mass,
or to vessels of the United States navy.
He read copies of these messages and
declared that when he was examined
by the committee before he had for
gotten about that message. MI. Mar
conf also produced copies of many
other messages which passed between
the Marcont officers and the Carpathia
In an endeavor to get definite informa-
ton OF the wreck and the survivors.
: Mr.. Marconi was excused by the
committee in order tina he might sail
tomorrow for England.
Mr.. Marconi read several additional
messages asking for new of individ-
uals, among them Mr.. and Mrs. Isador
Straus, Col. John Jacob Aston, Charles
Al. Hays, Benjamin Guggenheim and
Maj. Archibald Butt.
Why did you not get any reply. to
these messages sent by high officials
OF the Marconi company"
Il have no explanation to give ex-
cept that the operators, I believe, were
busy en- the Carpathia all the time
sending messages from the survivors on
board to their families and relatives
and friends ashore
Mr.. Marconi said he did not believe
that the captain Of the Carpathia had
any disposition to prevent the sending
of news.
L. NJ. Sammis, chief engineer Of the
American Marconi company, also tes-
titled, explaining that what had actu-
ated him In sending messages to Oper-
etors Bride and Gotham on the Car
pathia to hold their stories for -four
figures" he said had made arrange
ment with news papers to sell their
cages TO the boys" informing them
of that fact.
Want lsmay Messages.
Senator Smith said that the COM
mittee desired all messages passing
between the Carpathla and ]. Bruce
Ismay, managing director of the Inter-
national Mercantile marine and officers
Of the White Star line.
p. A. S. Franklin held a hurried con-
sultation with Mr.. Ismay and then ad-
dressed the committee:
II want to say in behalf Of Mr.. Ismay,
for the International Mercantile marine,
for the White Star line and for myself
personally" he said, that we absolve
all the telegraph, wireless and cable
companies from Withholding from the
committee n message sent or re-
ce1ved in connection with the disaster
