OF TITANIC PROBE
Senator Smith Says Witnesses
We're COurteOusIy Treated.

New York, May 3.-Bitter attacks at
home and abroad against the senate's
investigation of the Titanic's tragedy
were condemned by Senator William
Alden Smith, chairman of the senate
subcommittee lie said the attacks
seriously hampered the investigators.
Explanation and defense of the com.
mittee's inquiry were promised by Sen
ator Smith in a speech in the senate,
probably next week.
81 felt that ii was absolutely neces.
sary to secure the evidence of the sur
viving officers and crew." said Sen
ator Smith. while we have been in
sistent, we have at no time lost sight
of the fact that all of these men were
British subjects and entitled to every
consideration at our hands.
"The public acknowledgment OF Mr.
Ismay and officers of the i'll fated shiT
of this fact may possibly tend to less
en- the i'll considered criticism which
has been directed against the commit
tee by the British press and theil
American sympathizers, whose con
duct has rendered more difficult thar
II otherwise would have been prop
er understanding of the manner II
which the investigation was beint
conducted"

Told All He Knows.

New York, May 81. Bruce lsmay,

home in England on the White Star
liner Adriatic, MIR Ismay said he was
worn out and that there was nothing
to add to his testimony before the SEN

the Titanic disaster. At first he de.
clined to say anything but later had
the following to say;
II have given all the testimony In
the Titanic case at Washington.
have given them all the information
at my command. There Is certainly
nothing more to say. | have no Ill
feeling against the American public
and think the senate investigation was
thorough"

New Orleans, La, May 3.-Havine

two-thirds the length of the country
and left death and desolation in its
wake the crest of the Mississippi flood
is IN Louisiana, flooding thousands of
acres of rich cane growing country
and rendering thousands homeless.
The levees about Torras, La, have
gone out. Water poured through the
town and inundated the country for
miles around. Owing to the constant
wash of the waters against the tops of
the levees for the past few days they
crumbled when struck by a slight rise
Thousands of men are engaged
Strengthening the levees along the
Mississippi, Red and Atchafalaya riv-
ers.
Point Coupee, West Baton Rouge,
Iberyille, Assumption, st. Landry, st.
Mary and st. Martin, the seven rich
est parishes in the state, are threat
ened.
Point Coupee is in danger of being
flooded at any time.
While the break will give some re-
lief to the points south of Torras the
situation is still critical.
The government is now furnishing
rations to 10000 homeless persons in |
Mississippi and Louisiana and the in
dications are that this number will be
increased by $4,000 within few days.
Governor Sanders has reached Tar
ras, and win personally uIrect ruv

The crevasse is over 200 feet wide
and other sections of the levee are
threatening to go out.
The government food supplies are
running short and not many of the
refugees can be sheltered.
Over 5000 are reported to be living
on RATS with their live stock.

LITTLE INTEREST
IN HOME RULE
Debate on Important Bill
Rather Tame.
VERY FEW SPECTATORS

Present System Whereby House Of
Lords May ProIong Legislation Over
Period of Two Years.
London, May 3.--No great political
project was ever debated in the house
OF commons with less display of in
terest on the part of the members and
the general public than the home rule
bill. The speeches were delivered to
half empty house. A few Irish
priests were the only spectators in the
gallery who appeared particularly CON
cerned with what was passing on the
floor.
Even the first days oratorical per
formances, in which Winston Church.
Ill, who is rated as the most brilliant
OF the younger politicians in either
party, was the star, created hardly any
enthusiasm. No more remarkable con.
trast than was presented by this exhi
bitton and the fierce battles over the
two other home rule bills when states
men like Gladstone, Parnell, Chamber
lain and Harrington fought bitterly
every inch of the ground and racial
and party passions were stirred to the
depths, could possibly be conceived.
One reason for this is the present
new system whereby the house of
lords may prolong legislation over a
period of two years, which postpones
the critical stage of the measure
Another Is that the Conservative op-
position to the bill, except on the part
of the representatives of Ulster, is
generally lukewarm. Several mem
bers complained of the length of the
speeches. The speaker practically
confessed himself bored and remarked:
rather hear three speeches of twenty
minutes each than one OF sixty min
ties"
This was received with shouts OF
approval.
