SAW The ROCKETS
Engine Man on the California Is
Positive.

Washington, April 27.-Ernest Gill,
engine man on the California, contin-
ued his testimony late Friday.
He did not notify the bridge or
lookout because he said it was not his
business and they could not have help
ed but see the rockets and he supposed
they would pay attention. Gill swore
that he then turned in and at $40
a. m. was awakened with orders to
turn out to render assistance that the
Titanic had gone down. The Califor-
MAN then was proceeding at full speed
clear of the ice field, but with plenty
of icebergs about. He heard Second
Officer J. c. Evans telling Fourth Of
ficer Wooten that the third officer had
reported rockets during his watch and
Gill said he knew then it must have

Captain Was Notified.
Evans, according to the affidavit said
the captain had been notified of the
rockets by the apprentice officer,

The skipper ordered Morse signals to

was received Gill said the next re-
mark he heard Evans make was why
in the Devil did they not wake up the
wireless man."
The entire crew according to Gill
talked among themselves about the
disregard of the rockets. Mr.. Stone,
the second navigating officer was on
the Californian bridge at the time of
the rocket signals. Gill declared that
in making his affidavit he had no i'll
will toward any officer of the Califor-
nian; that the Californian certainly
was less than 20 miles from the I'll

had reported as their position. He said

PACKEY EASILY BEATS WELLS.
MATHS CIeverness Not on Display in
New York.

New York, April 27-Packey Nc
Farland, who was introduced at Madi-
son Square garden as Chicago's fight
ing Irishman, administered a severe
drubbing to England's lightweight
champion, Matt Wells. The men went
10 rounds and while Mcfarland was
ten to seven favorite, nobody thought
his task would be so easy.
Wells was a decided diSappoint-
ment, the Englishman's much-herald-
ed cleverness not being in evidence
after the opening round. Mcfarland
at all stages was cool and collected,
while Wells lost his head early in the
game. Packey jabbed, swung and up
percut his man at will from the open
ing round till the final clang of the
bell ending the tenth round and Wells
made frantic efforts to land telling
blow, but Packey invariably made him
miss by clever side-stepping and duck
ing.
Wells did not land 10 clean blows
during the entire contest but, on the
other hand, he was kept busy on the
receiving end with Packey's unremit
ting singing jabs and uppercuts. It
was a one-sided fight and Mcfarland
upheld everything that his friends
had claimed for him.
1t was estimated that about 5000
persons were in the house and that
the receipts will be over $4,000.
