ASKS
AID FOR VICTIMS
lFrom a STAFF Correspondent


TRENTON. April Ex-Governor Will
son issued today, through Secretary
Joseph P. Tumulty, an appeal for aid
for the survivors of the wrecked steam
ship Titanic. The Governor designated
nine mayors as a temporary committee
to take charge of the movement until
a permanent committee is selected.
The mayors appointed are: Wittpenn,
of Jersey City; Haussling, of Newark;
Mcbride, of Paterson; Stein, of Eliza
beth; Donnelly. of Trenton; Cronin. OF
Bayonne; Cook, Of Hoboken; Seger, of
Passaic, and Ellis, of Camden. The
text of the Governors appeal is as fol.
lows:
In In hour Of sympathy and commiser-
alton for the loss of life and the abruHt
narrowing catastrophe of modern times,
the destruction of the Titanic, q spirit oil
charity has prompted the organization OF
a fund for the aid and comfort of any
needy survivors of the lost Titanic.
The citizens of New Jersey, l am sure
cannot. be unmindful of this opportunity
to participate in q movement founded upoT
the noblest motives that can appeal tC
the human heart, and admiration of ul.
selhsh herolsm and Il desire to mitigate
the severity Of an anguish which has
evoked universal compassion.
would, therefore, suggest for, these
citizens of New Jersey who are DESTROYS
OF donating contributions for the benefit
of the survivors OF the Titanic, that al
contributions be sent to the MAYORS Of
their respective municipalities and tina
I'm the near future a meeting be held Il
decide upon the means OF cooperatinl
with those bodies already In existence
that the fund secured In New Jersey may
be most a"dvantageously expended.

NEW MOVE TAKEN
TO GUST WARDENs

County Counsel Benjamin +. Jones
appeared before Chief Justice Gummere
in behalf of the Board of Freeholders
in an endeavor to set aside the ruling
of the Civil Service Commission in the
cases Of the two wardenships of the
Caldwell penitentiary and the Essex
County Asylum at overlook.
Mr.. Jones contended that the in
cumbents of the positions were clearly
defined as being heads of the institu-
tion,'' and that they should come under
the ~unclassified list under the civil
service rules.
He argued that those in the unclossi-
fed list should not be subject to civil
service rules and that the two men
whose positions are in question should
be classified in the unclassifed list.
Alonzo Church, on the other hand,
contended that the writ of certiorari
on which the matter was brought be-
fore the chief Justice conflicted with
Quo warranto proceedings which were
pending in the Same case in the same
court.
Chief Justice Gummere accepted
briefs submitted by MI. Jones and said
that he would take the case upl Thurs.
day, May 2. Mr.. Church submitted nc
briefs. The case in question is over
the action of the Civil Service Com
mission in the case of Warden Walter
~Steadman, of Overlook, and Warder
Samuel p, Martin, Of Caldwell, whose
positions have been retained following
the appointment by the Board of Free
holders of Ferdinand J.. Hosp to thu
Caldwell institution and Benjamin r
Bailey to the Overlook asylum, VIII.
were supposed to take their positions
January 1 last.
The appointment of these men an
the reinforcement of the other two wa
looked upon by the charities organiza
ton and other influential bodies as
political move and the present litiga
ton is the result of agitation by thes
outside influences.

AT that time did you see Mr.. Is.
may" Senator Smith asked, taking
another angle.
mo, sir"
AT any time did you see him ?"
Il saw him on the boat deck,
Lightoller said, when we started to
uncover the boats after the impact. II
was about twenty minutes after the
collision"
What was he doing?"
standing still" said the witness.
WELL asked Senator Smith, was
he dressed?"
Il could not say" replied Ligntoller,
"it was too dark"
He said that at that time there were
no other passengers on that deck, but
later there were plenty of them.
Did all passengers have a right to
60 on thatsdeck?" asked Senator Smith.
YES, SIR said the witness.
Did steerage passengers?" persisted
Senator Smith.
mo, sir"
AT such a timer"
"Oh, yes, sir" answered Lightoiler,
Indicating that it was a time when the
ordinary routine vas not observed.
There must have been a good deal
of confusion, was there not?" asked
Senator Smith.
Not at all, sir" replied Lightoller.
Ismay Is
y. Bruce Ismay knew of the presence
Of icenergs. but arrogantly disregarded
the danger of them.
And when the Titanic was every in
slant facing the possibility of running
into an ice mountain, Mr.. Ismay was
dining with Captain Smith. both of
them in evening ~clothes-in a lower
salon when the captain, at least, should
have been at his post of duty on the
bridge"
That statement was made yesterday
at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel by Major
Arthur Peuchen, Of Toronto. Canada,
who was impressed as an oarsman on
one of the Titanic's lifeboats and
made his way to it, at the peril of his
life, by going down hand over hand
along a rope which dangled from one
of the davits.
Il knew of Ismay's knowledge of the
iceberg danger from a conversation re-
peated to me on the Carpathia when
we we're coming into port by an Amer
lean woman said Major Peuchen.
"The woman was Mrs. Ryerson, of
Philadelphia. who lost her husband
and SON.. Mrs. Ryerson said to me;
Late Sunday afternoon While the
Titanic was going along at a fast rete
I went tc Mr.. Ismay and said:
""Oh, Mr.. Ismay, I have heard that
the wireless has reported a large num-
Der of icebergsa in the path of our
ship. Are o not going to order her
to slow down."
HE replied: ON the contrary, Mrs.
Ryerson. we are going to go along
faster than we have been going And
we did go faster"

could not be seen to verify it, but it
was learned from several of her
friends that she had reported it as an
exact conversation with the White
Star chief.

The first Witness was Thomas Cot
am. the wireless operator on the Car
pathia, who was recalled to the stand.
| Senator Smith sought to clear up the
messages that had passed between the
Carpathia and the titanic.
| What was the last message sent TO
the Titanic?, asked Senator Smith.
1--WE sent it word to have its life
boats ready said h witness; that
our lifeboats were ready, and that we
were steaming to them as fast as We
could"
Senator Smith asked the witness II
he had received n messages from the
time the Carpathia left the scene OF
the disaster until 1t reached New
York. The purpose Of this question
was to discover whether any official
had sought to keep back the news of
1 the disaster.
Nor, SIR ansered Gotham. 81 re-
ported the entire matter myself to the
steamship Baltic at 1890 o'clock Mon
day morning. l told them we had been
to the wreck and had picked up as
many of the passengers as we could"
Did you SEND any message that
all the passengers had been saved or
that the Titanic was being towed to
Halifax? ~ asked Senator Smith.
mo, sir
IF the White Star line sent a
message Monday reading, Representa-
tive J.. II. Hughes, Huntington, w
Va, Titanic proceeding to Halifax.
Passengers will probably land there
Wednesday. All safe they did not
obtain the information on which that
was based from you?"
NO"
Cotton, after rehearsing again the
final messages exchanged between the
Titanic and Carpathia, was excused
He is to be recalled.
Senator Smith then called what he
evidently expected to be one of the
most important witnesses, Harold S
Bride. the sole surviving wireless oper-
ator of the Titanic. Crippled as a re-
suit of his experiences, he was wheeled
in an invalid's chair to the table. where
the committee sat.
Contrary to the usual procedure
said Senator Smith, rising in his place
81 must place you under oath. Raise
your right hand"
Bride said he was a native of Lon
don, was % years old, and had learned
his profession in a British school o
biography.
What practical experience have yol
had?" asked Senator Smith.
