 Pittman reiterated statements of others that the Titanic was on her proper course to the republic. < Did you see any lee Monday?" ask ed the chairman.
 Yes, when l was in the life boat going to the Carpathia I saw several icebergs,' he replied. There might have been six"
 Were these bergs high above the water?"
 About 150 feet above the water" " How many of these large icebergs were there.'' asked MT. Smith.
 Really, I could not say"
 Senator Smith questioned witness IS to his other duties aboard ship.
 His whereabouts on the date of the collision were asked. He said for two hours he was on the bridge. After this he went to his berth.
 Did you hear from the Californian warning you of ice?" asked MT Smith No
 You heard nothing from Second Of fcer Lightoller or the captain when you were on the prldSe that nlght!
 No" said Pittman.
 Kept Special Lookout
 Witness said the Titanic had been keeping special lookout for lee on the fatal Sunday. He said that it was done because Captain Smith had been warned that ice was near.
 Who warned him." inquired the chairman. S
 T do not know"
 Well, who told you that he had been wafned?" asked the chairman. were you told before or after the dis nster?"

POLICE CIRCLES
 QUIET YESTERDAY

To-day has been absolutely the dullest day that I can remember in the police department, said Captain of Police Mar tin Eagan last night. Captain Eagan is acting chief while Chief Bodeker is in Little Rock. Ark, attending United States court.
 Usually there is some little some thing or other which will relieve the otherwise monotonous day, but today there has been nothing at all It has been positively lonesome around the city hall. Sergeant Weaver has remarked to me several times during the day that there was nothing doing and I have noticed 1t quite forcibly myself There has not been a report to come to us today which amounted to anything.

do not criticise the policy and methods pursued by the company. for l feel sure that in this case caution would have averted a terrible calamity. l haze been given credit for saying many things abso- lutely untrue, and l wish to state that have not said any personal or unkind things about Captain Smith"
 The major was then excused.
 Frederick Fleet. the lookout then was recalled to the stand. but before his ex- animation was begun the committee de- cided to adjourn the hearing until 10 0 clock tomorrow.

GADSDEN MAY GET COTTON COMPRESS Mississippians Looking Over City for the Purpose
  GADSDEN CLEANS UP Thirty Men Making Gas Extensions in Gadsden--Coal and Iron Prop critics inspected--Mass Meet ing Held-Man Arrested 
GADSDEN CLEANS UP

Gadsden, April 2s.-(special.)-It is be- lieved that gentlemen now interested in the matter will locate cotton compress in this city. Two gentlemen from Hatties- burg, Miss, have been looking over the city for this purpose and have been very favorably impressed with the possibilities here for such an enterprise. Many years ago Capt. J. M Elliott operated a com press here but for the last 15 or 20 years the cotton from Gadsden was sent else- where for compressng. The locating of a compress here would make difference in the price the farmers would receive for the product.
 Gadsden Will Change
 Tomorrow will be cleanup day in Gads- den and the city street force with the mules and wagons will call at all homes and cart away the accumulated trash that the residents have collected for the purpose. On vacant premises the clean ing will be done by the city force and the cost charged against the property un- less attended to by the owners.
 Gas Extensions The Tri-City Gas company put a force z of 30 men to work this morning to make extensions of it's lines in the city. Ever since the company begun business here three years ago it has enjoyed stea iy growth and each year it has been coni- peled to make extensions to accommo- date the people who desired to make use of its product The present extension calls for five miles of new mains and these will all be laid in the residence sec- tions.
 Coal Properties Inspected
 c. P. Ludwig of the Consolidated Coal and Iron company, accompanied by S. B. Sheldon of New York, spent the day in Gadsden making an inspection of the Consolidated properties. It is understood that Sheldon is interested in both the Consolidated and the Southern Iron and Steel.
 Mass Meeting Held
 A mass meeting of the citizens will be held tonight for the purpose of organizing a law and order league to assist the off cers in the enforcement of the laws. Par ticular attention will be given to the enforcement of the prohibition laws, which have just recently had an over whelming indorsement at the hands of the people.
 Imp0ster Arrested
 George Sims. white man, was arrested today on charge of impersonating an officer. Sims had been going to residents in the outskirts of the city and making demands on the owners of dogs for their dog tax and when payment was refused took possession of the dog and threatened to kill him. One of the owners of a dog thus taken appealed to the police and it was soon discovered that Sims was an impostor and his arrest speedily followed He was found to be intoxicated and on this charge he was tried and fined today and tomorrow he will have hearing on the charge of impersonating an officer.

Heard Call for Help

Then we began to hear signs of the breaking up of the Titanic. We heard a sort of a call for help after the whistle; then a rumbling sound. think the Titanic's lights were still on. Then there was an explosion, then another Then the lights went out and then those dreadful cries. It frightfully af- fected all the women in our boats. At the sounds grew fainter and fainter. l think we were about five-eighths of a mile away"
 He did not see the vessel sink, but his theory was that the explosions were above water. caused by the heavy pres sure when the boat started to dive down by the head
 How many explosions were there?" asked Senator Smith. About three, but I was excited"
 Did you see the captain after he told you to go below and get through the window into the lifeboat?'
 rNo, l never saw him after that.v
 Did you see him before the accident ?'
 ''T think I saw him about o'clock in one of the companion ways"
 Do you think he was attentive to his duties?"
 ''Yes. do."
 Major Peuehen said the lifeboat he was in was equipped with everything re- auired. Some of the boats he heard were not sufficiently equipped with food. When he got on the Carpatha he examined sev- eral life boats and found they had tights, hard tack and water

Sailors Were Lacking

Those of the crew that l saw working in lowering and filling the boats couldnt t have been better, but they were too few. was surprised not to see more sailors at their boats"
 The nen huG had no practice, the wit ness said, the men cf the crew had told him.
 Major Peuchen read a statement in order to make clear his position as fol- lows:
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-04-24
Women Rowed Boats

Did the women row in the boats?"
 "Yes, and they were very plucky about it, too. They worked with a will. One helped me until she became i'll from the hard work and was forced to cease"
 Do you know who those women were?"
 Major Peuchen said Miss D. A. Nor ton of Acton Lane London Mrs. Wal ter Clark of Los Angeles. Mrs.. Lucien B. Smith. Huntington, w. Vag Mrs. Cavendish, New York; Mrs. Walter Douglas, Minneapolis. and MT. and Mrs. c. B. Burnham of Denver were among others in the boat, many of whom han dled oars.
 Did you see MT Ismay that night?' asked Senator Smith,
 "I think I did. He was standing on the port side. on the boat deck, about an hour after we struck. I did not see him again until he came aboard the Carpathia."
 The major said there was still room in some boats which left from the port side, and he could not understand why more men were not taken off.
 The Carpathia steamed all around the scene of the wreck and we did not see single body the major said. Tt seems strange to me, as l should think the life belts would have held bodies up dead or alive for four or five hours.'
 He said he was certain one could have lived in the icy water more than an

No General Alarm Sounded

Several who were on the upturned boat and were rescued and who had their feet in the water.' he said. kept themselves alive by cuthching each oth- CT Their feet were frozen"
 Several senators asked if the fact that there was no general alarm sounded aft CT the collision might account for the failure of many women to appear on the decks in time for the life boats. He thought that probable.
 Major Peuchen said he thought if the ookouts on the Titanic had had glasses the ship might have escaped the col lision.
 Did you talk with Fleet. the lookout who was in your lifeboat?'' asked Sena- tor Smith.
 "Yes, l asked him what occurred. He said he rang three bells and then sig nailed to the bridge. He said he did not get immediate reply from the bridge. and heard afterward that the bridge officer was not required to reply.
 "The ouartcrmaster asked Fleet in the l.feboat if he lnew who was on the bridge when he signaled, and Fleet said ha did not
 From what you observed. was there proper discipline on the part of the crew in loading line iifeboats?'
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-04-24
Only Women Took Boats

'The women came forward one by one, many accompanied by their husbands No men passengers got in that boat
 Did you see any man, attempt to get in?' asked Senator Smith.
 No The boat was safely lowered. There were about 36 or 37 persons in it, then we turned to the next boat. l was surprised that the sailors were not at their posts as they should have been. I have seen fire drills and the action of the sailors did not impress me.
 They seemed to be short of sailors around the lifeboats where I was When I came on deck first 1t seemed to be that about 100 stokers came up with their gunny sacks and crowded the deck.
 One. of the officers, a splendid man, drove these men right off the deck. He drove them like sheep.
 When we got to the next boat quar- termaster and sailor was put in and tho boat was then filled with women We called out for more women and some would not leave their husbands.
 Major Peuchen said that in his lifeboat the quartermaster In charge made a wom- an row while he held the tiller. steering for light, which the major declared did enot exist so far as he could see. The quartermaster refused to turn about and attempt to pick up survivors, said the witness.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-04-24
Major Peuchen Called

When the inquiry was resumed at 3:53 o'clock Senator Smith called to the stand Maj Arthur Peuchen of Toronto, Canada a passenger on the Titanic. who was or dered to man one of the life boats bv Second Officer Lghtoller.
 Major Peuchen was the first passenger witness to appear before the committee. All 10 of his friends with whom he was travelling lost their lives in the wreck.
 Senator Smith urged Major Peuchen 10 strive to recall the names of as many passengers as he could.
 T cannot remember many,' said the witness, but I saw list being copied in the smoking room of the Carpathia. did not get a copy
 Senator Smith then asked Major Peuchen to tell the story of the voyage, telling of the weather. accidents and whether there was any fire aboard
 The major said:
 There was no mention of fire and we

were all pleased with the trip until the crash. After II o'clock I went to my stateroom I scarcely was undressed when I felt a shock I thought merely that a large wave had struck the ship.
 "I went back to the cabin deck and met men and women coming up Joking very serious. I met my friend Bottle, and asked him what was the matter. Bettie said to me: The order is for the lifeboats, it Is serious
 "I couldn't believe 1t at first, but went to my cabin and changed to some heavy clothes"
