Matsuki understood the situation, too,
and In that moment of hesitation he
saw the part that he must act.
Matsuki was before his audience.

and he was obliged to move more

had worked bravely. and success was

TITANIC'S CAPTAIN
DID NOT TAKE WINE
Senator Smith Has Made Further
InvestigatiOn-will Speak
To-day.

As the result Of further investigation
which he has made since the Senate
committee on the Titanic disaster con-
cluded its hearings, Senator William al
den Smith. the chairman Of that commit
tee, has reached the conclusion that
Capt. Smith. Of the Titanic, did not In
dulge IN liquor at the widener dinner
which he attended aboard the ship on
the night of the disaster.
He also has decided, after making In
quiries OF officers Of the Olympic, sis
ter ship OF the Titanic, that four OF the
water-tight compartments Of the Titanic
were ripped open as a result OF the
impact Of the iceberg. He believes that
had only two Of the compartments been
injured the ship would have continued
to float
These further developments have ne
cessitated a revision Of the report. In
consequence the Senator may not be
able to present It in the Senate to-day.
He will, however, deliver the speech
which he has planned to make covering
the investigation and the findings OF his
committee

wOMEEs CLUBS MAKE REPORT

Three large contributions were re-
ceived yesterday by the woman's Titanic
Memorial toward the erection of an
arch in the National Capital which will
typIfy "woman's Tribute TO Heroic
Manhood"
The largest contribution amounted to
5000. The condition upon which the
gift was made was that the name or
rather names of the donors should not
be mentioned. The subscription was
given as from an entire family, one OF
whose members was lost In the Titanic
disaster, and who. like many other he
roes Of the catastrophe. gave up his
chance OF life that the women and chill
dren might ,e saved.
The second contribution was that Of
loo from Mrs. Sydney A. Cloman. wife
OF Maj. ClomRn, Twenty-sixth Infantry.
U. s. A. now stationed at Fort Brady,
Mich. Mrs Cloman is well known in
Washington. where she has taken a
prominent part in social circles. Maj
Cloman was recently military attache
Of the United States Embassy in Lon
don.
The third contribution was from Mrs.
Robert d. Evans, OF Boston. The amount
was 500. Mrs. Evans Is q member OF the
Committee OF One Hundred Of the Wom-
ans Titanic" Memorial. Her contribu-
ton was a personal one, and in addition
she is doing active work in Massachu-
setts TO obtain dollar subscriptions from
women.
Working Women Subscribe.
While many prominent and wealthy
women have sIgnifed their intention OF
subscribing to the memorial arch fund
in large amounts, the money will be
given as coming from workers in fac
tories or women inmates OF institutions.
There were so many offers made to
subscribe large sums that those behind
the movement came to the decision that
It would be to the best interests to per-
NIT these gifts. with the understanding
that the contributions would be made as
practically coming from women who did
not possess the dollar to give.
Three names were yesterday added to
the Committee Of One Hundred. Accept
ances were received from Mrs. Horace
Brock, Of Philadelphia: from Mrs. Charles
president OF the Riggs National Bank,
and from Miss Louisa Lee Schuyler, OF
New York
A report Of the formation Of a new

paign has already been started by the
new subcommittee.
Increasing and gratifying returns are
being received from the letters sent to
the 5000 women's clubs throughout the
country. The subscriptions from these
sources are increasing in number and
size, and many letters have been re-
ceived saying that the subject of the
memorial arch fund will be taken up at
annual conventions.

and were purchased by Mr.. Duncan,
with the exception OF one parcel on
which Col. Bliss was a bidder until Mr..
Duncan raised him to $500 an acre, for
which sum the parcel was knocked down
to Mr.. Duncan.

had originated the real estate enterprise
and had given up twenty-five years of
his life and all his means to the de-
