SHOOTING AFFRAY
 NEAR FLORENCE

Florence. April so-tsspecial.)- News has just reached here of an un- fortunate shooting affray, which oc- cured about eight miles from Flor ence on the Huntsville road, late Sun day afternoon, in which T. Hall wound ed Preston Sanderson. It seems there had been grudge of long stand ing between the two men and during a friendly struggle they grew angry and commenced fighting in earnest, which resulted in a wounding of San derson. Two physicians went out from Florence immediately, and performed a most difficult operation, but all in- dications seem to point to the fact that young Sanderson will not recover.

 Witness was not on the bridge until aft CT the collision He then asked what had caused the crash Mir. Ismay had known Captain Smith long period He had been in command of White Star liners for years. So far as witness knew Cap tain Smith was in good health when he sailed from Southampton.
 Asked about the Titanic's construction MT. Ismay said:
 'It was the desire to have a ship to float with her two longest watertight compartments filled with water
 Mir. Ismay gave his view of the oft expressed theory that if the Titanic had struck bow on she would not have sunk. The Titanic cost, Isnay said, about s.- 5000o0, and was insured for $5.00o.0oo.
 He then recited the denial that any at tempt had been made to increase the in- surance. No one connected with the com- pany SO far as he knew had attempted such dishonorable act. Senator Smith said he did not want the witness to un- derstand that he was asserting such an effort was made.
 Mir Isrnay told about communicating news of the wreck after he reached the Carpathia. He said he sent the message Monday morning, April 15 addressed to Mfr Franklin and that Franklin did not receive it until April 17.

 None whatever" said MT. Tsmay
 Witness said there were no experts in naval construction so far as safety appli- ances were concerned in this country He expressed the willingness of his company to send experts from England to testify.
 Smiths Nerves Unaffected
 MT Ismay said he did not think the speed. MT Ismay said the only thing he said was that if everything went well, they intended to try out the ship for five or six hours "to see what she could do.'
 Ismay's letter to Chairman Smith, put in the record today and written April 25, declared that while he was willing to do all he could 10 aid in the committees aim, yet he was anxious to return home.
 Chairman Smiths reply stated that ls- may would be compelled to remain until the committed was assured nothing had been overlooked and eoneluded:
 'I am working night and day to achieve this result. and you should continue to help me instead Of annoying me with your personal importunites'
 When the hearing was resumed in the afternoon. c. F. Henry Stengel of New ark, N. J.. a survivor, testified he had watched the speed of the ship particu- larly.
 Engines Oyerstrained

 When the first lifeboats were sent away an officer said it was merely done as matter of precaution. l put my wife aboard and went forward. found them lowering an emergency boat and asked the officer if I might get in. There were only about ten persons in the boat, among them Sir Duff Gordon and three other passengers. l rolled into the boat and Olympic wreck affected Captain smiths nerves. Questioned as to conversations he might have had about the Tjtanle's the officer laughed heartily. That's the funniest sight I've seen tonight he said. His hllarity served to convince ns that the entire affair was not serious"
 Stengel told of bulletins posted on the Carpathia regarding messages that had gone from the ship. He said the message from MT. Marcon urging that news of the disaster be sent via Siasconset was posted.
 "The captain of the Carpathia." said Stengel, "assured us only p words had been sent to the press There had been rumors on board that the press was using
