the invarlable custom to hold those
drills weekly.
A fire drill had been scheduled on the
Titanic for Sunday morning, but Grove
said Il did not occur.
Describing the sinking Of the Titanic
Grove said:
After we got clear of the ship the
lights were still burning very bright,
but as we got away she seemed TO 20
lower and lower and she almost stood
up perpendicular and her lights went
dim, and presently che broke clean In
two, probably two-thirds of the length
of TO ship. Then the after part foated
back. Next there was an explosion and
the aft part turned on end and sank
Grove said there were several expio-
sions-they seemed muffled, as though
they were a long way on.
The witness declared that Lowe In
sisted in going back to aid any sur
viv0rs in the water, and said that one
OF the passengers. Williams, the chain
pion racket player, of England, volun-
teered to 60 back with him.
G. +. Andrews, another steward, cor
roborated Groves testimony, that there
were no drills during the Titanic's voy-
age. Like other members of the crew,
he went back to bed after being
awakened by the shock Of the impact.

Titanic Sank to
Bottom of Sea, Say
Engineering Experts

Most certainly the Titanic sank
straight TO the bottom Of the ocean,
said Prof. Howard L. Hodgkins, dean
of the College of Engineering and Me-
chanic Arts. at George Washington Uni
yersity. when asked his opinion as to
whether the big ship sank to the bot
tom OF the Atlantic or, after reaching
certain depth. would remain stationary
because of the terrific water pressure.
"The Titanic was made largely of iron
and other metals, and since iron sinks
In water. the ship must reach the bot
tom before stopping. The progress may
have been slower farther down"
Prominent scientists Of Washington
are united in stating that the ship
reached bottom. two miles below the
surface. They point to the thousands
Of soundings made in all parts OF the
oceans OF the earth, in many cases far
deeper than at the place where the IT,
tanic sank, where the laws OF gravita-
tion are called upon to aid the scientists
in studying the ocean bottom.
Officials of the photographic Office
of tho Navy Department were emphatic
in scouting the idea that ships sunk be-
low the surface must float before reach
ing the bottom. They also stated that
it was very problematical as to the di-
rection taken by the ship in sinking to
the ooze OF the ocean floor.

Congressman Mott
Introduces Bill to
Safeguard Lives

A bill designed to meet the exigencies
Of the situation, and to be operative
while Congress considers permanent
legislation to safeguard the lives Of
those who travel by sea, has been in
troduced In the House by Congressman
Mott Of New York, who introduced the
first bill asking an investigation of the
Titanic disaster. Mr.. Mott sought an
investigation by the House within few
hours after the sinking Of the Titanic
was revealed in all Its horrible details,
but the Senate acted before the House
could perfect its plans.
The bill now introduced by Congress
man Mott provides that no vessel OF
over five thousand tons gross tonnage
shall be cleared with passengers from
any port in the United States unless
there shall have been advertised and
printed on each ticket issued for pas

she Is licensed to carry. the number
of persons usually composing her crew,
and the total number Of persons for
whom she purports to be provided with
| life-saving facilities capable Of keeping

water, for a reasonable time, in ordi.
