WASHTN GTON, April 22.-With succor only five miles away, the Ti tanic slid into it's watery grave, carry ing with it more than l.5O0 passengers and crew. while an unidentified steamer. that might have saved all. i. failed or refused to see the frantic 1 signals of those aboard. This tragic 1 feature of the disaster was brought ] out before the senate Investigating committee when J. Boxhail, fourth officer of the Titanic, told of his un- l successful attempts to attract the i strangers attention. This vessel ac- cording to Boxhall could not have 1 been more than five miles away and ! was steaming toward the Titanic. So l close was it that from the bridge 1 Boxhan plainly saw it's masthead i lights and side lights. Both with rockets anu with the Morse electric 1 signal did the young officer hail the stranger Captain Smith and several I others in the vicinity of the bridge declared at the time their belief was that the vessel had seen them and ! was signaling in reply. Boxhall failed : to see the replies however. and in any case the steamer kept on it's course ODilputlN IEtSl tue iAdlAN 1 without extending afd.
 This and declaration by P. A. $. Franklin. vice president of the White Star line, that tAere were enough Iifeboats aboard the Titanic to care for the ships company at one time, were the features Of the hearing. The official was quizzed throughout the
 morning session on messages changed
 ' t,., ,raIF after the ship had started for New
 York with the Titanic's survivors aboard Among the survivors was J.
 Bruce Ismay, managing director Of
 the line. Among wireless telegrams
 read into the record was one from
 Ismay urging that the steamer Ced-
 ric be held until the Carpathia ar
 rived with it's sorry burden. He de- ! clared he believed it most deSirabie
 that the survivors of the TltanicS s crew be rushed out of the country as
 soon as possible He. also. message
 said would sail on the Cedric and asked that clothing be ready for nm
 at the pier when the Carpathla ,locked. The senate's subpoena blocked
 his plan. The committee will resume it's hearing tomorrow Fourth officer ! BoxhaH is expected to appear on the
 stand and tell more fully of events
 preceding the collision.
