Californian Only a Few
Miles Away as Titanic
Sinks.
CAPTAIN INDIFFERENT
Sworn Statement Shows He
Paid No Attention to Dis
treSS Signals.

Washington, April ga sworn
statement that the captain of the lin
er California, refused to aid the IT,
tanic, although only a few miles
away, today was flied by Ernest Gill,
donkey -engineman on the Titanic,
with the senate Investigating COM
mittee on the Titanic disaster. Gill
said distress rockets were plainly Wis
ible from the Californians deck. He
said he tried to organize a commit
tee of the crew to protest to the cap
tain against his course, but, he said,
they were afraid they would lose
their jobs
Gills affidavit was listened to with
deepest interest by the committee.
Gill was placed on the witness stand
| Immediately after Chairman Smith
had finished reading the affidavit.
TITANIC At FULL SPEED.

| Titanic said Gill, after being sworn,
sometime before midnight. 1t was
about 10 miles away and went past
US apparently at full speed. The Cali
! fornian at the time was caught in a
field of ice, it's engines were stopped
and the steamer was drifting with the
foe"
The vessel, Gill testified, must have
been plainly visible to the bridge and
lcokouts as well as the rockets which
were sent up by the latter.
MEN ARE TIMID.
The Californian's captain, he said
paid no attention to the distress sig
nails, and his refusal to get UP steam
and go to aid the stranger so incensed
the crew that Gill tried to organize
protesting party among the men. He
failed, he said, because of the timlolty
of the men.
ABOUT 20 MILES AWAY.
From the rocket Gill judged the dis
tIessed ship to be not more than %
miles off. He described the rockets
his description tallying with that giver
by Fourth Officer Boxhall of the I'll
tanic, who sent them aloft.

pared to deny Gilrs statements, tool

from 25 members of the crew came
