 President Taft gave hearty and unqualified approval to the plan sug- gested by Senator Smith, that his committee go at once to New York and examine such officers of the Titanic as may be found. He declar- ed his intention of cooperating with the committee to the fullest extent. The President ordered the secretary of the treasury to aid the investigat ing committee in boarding the Car pathia. A revenue. cutter will be used for transporting the customs officers who will accompany them to the ves- se1.
 It is the plan of the committee to require J. Bruce Ismay and the of- f1cers to furnish information It is believed they will comply. Otherwise a delicate situation arises because all the intended witnesses are foreigners and the officers of the Titanic are probably members of the British Navy. though in the White Star line service.

KENEALY GLAD
 TO BE RELIEVED OF GUARDIANSHIP

Stamford, April 1S-In an interview granted today Michael Kenealy, who was defeated for reelection as chair man of the Republican State Central Committee at New Haven yesterday, said:
 "I am entirely satisfied with the re- suit of the State committees action. For eight years I have been chairman of the committee. The position is one that requires a great deal of time to do the work involved and I am glad to be relieved of it. Personally, for long time past the place had no at traction for me and it was only be- cause of the earnest wishes of large number of people that I consented to again take the place in the event that the committee desired me to.
 "The new chairman, MT. Roraback, is in every respect fully qualified for the place. My perso onal relations with him have always been pleasant and agreeable and still remain so. I have none but the kindest feelings towards the members of the State Central Committee who yesterday made MT. Roraback chairman. He is entitled to and should receive the earnest SUD- port of all of the members of the or ganization in the performance of his work as chairman. There should be no backing or filling on that proposi- tion I know that the work is diff cult but I also know that he is able to do for it.
 "The Republicans of the State in and out of the organization itself should stand together during the en- tire campaign. This State is over whelmingly in favor of the nOmina- tion and election of MT. Taft. With anything like a united party there can be no question as to the result in November. Personally, I have every hope and expectation of witnessing such united action.
 'eWhile now free from all influencial responsibility I believe that there need be no assurances Or promises from me that the new administration will have my heartiest support"

THE ROWLAND DRY GOODS co.
LAW HAD NOT KEPT PACE WITH CHANGE
 IN SHIPBUILDING

London, April 1s-Immediate and searching inquiry into the Titanic dis aster was promised on the floor of the House of Commons, today. by Presi- dent Sidney Buxton, of the Board of Trade, which controls all sea-going vessels.
 Buxton, in discussing the utterly in- adequate lifesaving equipment of the big liner, declared that the committee of the board in charge of lifesaving provisi ons had recently recommended increased lifeboats, rafts and life pre- servers on all big ships but that the requirements had been found unsatis- factory and had not been put in force
 He frankly admitted the necessity for increased equipment. The board, he said, was utterly unable to compel the transatlantic vessels to lower their speed in the contest for "ex- press train' ships. He also said that the board could not force ships to take the southerly passage in the spring to avoid the ice.
 The regulations under which the IT, tanic carried lifeboat accommodations for but about one-tfird of her passen- gers and crew had not been revised by the committee since 1894. At that time the regulations were made for ships of 10000 tons or more. The Titanic's tonnage was 45,00O
