CAPTAIN SMITH RESPONSIBLE

Washington, May 28.-Blame for
Titanic disaster is chargable directly
to the failure of the dead Captain
Smith to heed repeated warnings OF
icebergs ahead, but responsibility for
unnecessary loss of life must be shar-
ed by Captain Lord of the Steamship
Californian, through his disregard Of
distress signals. This is the finding
of the senate committe which investi-
gated the sinking of the Titanic, as
prepared in comprehensive speech
delivered by William Alden Smith,
Of Michigan, chairman of the COM
mittee. ....
Senator Smith declared that res
possibility also rests upon the Brit
,sh Board of Trade, "to whose laxity
of regulation. and hasty inspection,
the world is largely indebted for the
awful fatality" In denouncing Cap
tain Lord of the Californian, the Sen
ator said the Titanic's distress signals
were plainly seen from the deck Of
his vessel short distance away
America will leave to England the
chastisement of those guilty asserted
the senator, and he quoted British
law to the effect that Captain Lord
might be prosecuted for a misde-
meanor.
