HAMPERED WORK
Senator Smith Promises to Explain
Some Things In Speech
Next Week.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service j
NEW YORK, May Bitter attacks
at home and abroad against the
senate's investigation OF the Titanic
tragedy were condemned by Senator
William Alden Smith, chairman of
the senate subcommittee. He said
the attacks seriously hampered the
investigators. Explanation and de-
Tense of the committees inquiry we're
promised by Senator Smith in a
speech in the senate, probably next
week.
Il felt that it was absolutely neces-
sary to secure the evidence of the sur
viving officers and crew before in
fluences could be set at work to sup
press the circumstances leading up to
and actually connected with the trag-
edy.' said Senator Smith today.
While we have been insistent in
this determination. we have at no
time lost sight of the fact that all OF
these men were British subjects and
entitled to every consideration at our
hands. The public acknowledgment
Of Mr.. Ismay and officers of the i'll
fated ship Of this fact may possibly
tend to lessen the ill.considered crit
icism which has been directed against
the committee by the British press,
and their American sympathizers
whose conduct has rendered more diff
.ficult than 1t otherwise would have
been, proper understanding of the
manner in which the investigation was
being conducted
Senator Smith said he was prepar-
ing the committees report and. when
submitted to the senate, he would
make some observations regarding
the influences which have been at
work from the first day to suppress
the true condition of affairs leading up
to this accident
When Senator Smith returns to
Washington Saturday, the final meet
ing of the inquiry committee will be
held.
