La Toilette Looks on.
BY International News Service

BALTIMORE, June 2T,--An unobtrusive
but interested spectator at the Democratic
convention was Senator La Toilette OF
Wisconsin. He had platform seat and
eagerly watched the ebb and flow of sem
timent in the convention crowd. Once
when Bryan was cheered his face lit UP
and a broad smile spread from his chin
TO his pomDadour.
The Wisconsin senator looked better
than he had for several weeks. When he
left his seat he appeared to want to avoid
recognition, but he passed the press
stand with his hat dI1wn down over his
eyes g, newspaper reporter hailed him with
the question. Are YOU with us or against
us. SENATOR
a CHEEKY laugh greeted the question.

Tremendous Uproar.

Several big flags were carried onto the
speakers stand. The demonstration grew
more wild. The great hall echoed and
re-echoed with one continuous din.
More delegates and more people In the
galleries caught the fever Of enthusiasm.
The band began a new tune and the dem
onstratton increased.
Al 1855 a. m, after thirty minutes OF
Wild demonstration, IT showed no signs
OF decreasing
Delegates bearing state standards from
twenty-five states assembled in front OF
the speakers stand. The cluster Of stand
ards brought a tremendous renewal OF the
cheering.
Miss Genevieve Clark, n daughter Of
Champ Clark suddenly appeared In the
speakers stand, In dainty hlue and
wrapped in an American flag, she urged
the Clark delegates TO renewed enthusi-
asm.
The delegates recognized her and
cheered her repeatedly. The cry was
taken up all over the hall,
'Hurrah for Genevieve" 1t rang out.
When the demonstration had lasted
forty-rive minutes the delegates took off
their coats and hats, hurled them into
the air and danced and yelled more Wild

over the big hall, broken every now and

greeted the speakers eulogy of Wilson.
The galleries, half filled with both men

A few busy boys and men passed about
the hall peddling sandwiches and water
for substantial consideration-to the ex-

The convention floor had taken on the
appearance of a circus ground after the

This phase OF the tragic disaster
was brought out whers Boxhall told
OF his unsuccessful attempts to at
tract the strangers attention.
This ship, according to Boxhall,
could not have been more than five
miles away and was steaming to-
ward the Titanic. So close was it
that from the bridge, BoxhaIl plain
ly saw its mast headlights and then
its red side lights.
Both with rockets and with the
Morse electric signal did the young
officer hail the stranger. Capt.
Smith and several others in the vici-
nifty of the bridge declared at the
time their belief that the vessel had
seen them and was signaling in re-
ply. Boxhall failed to see the reply
signals, however, and In any case
the steamer kept on It's course OBJ

tending aid.

Officer Of Titanic Tells Sensa-

UNKNOWN VESSEL SIGHTED
j. B. Boxhall Declared the Ship Could
Not Have Been More Than
Five Miles from the
Titanic.
Associated Press Special.


Washington, April 23.--Whcn
the senate committee which is in
vestigating the wreck of the Titanic
assembled this morning to continue
its inquiry it was learned that J. B.
Boxhall, the fourth officer of the
sunken ship who gave such sensa-
tional testimony at yesterdays hear |
ing and who was expected to contin-
ue his story today, was too ill to
take the witness stand, and H. J.
Pitman, the third officer of the IL
tanic. was called as the first witness
for the day.
Pitman said that the Titanic
never had a speed trial He further
stated that there had been no life

ItaI voyage Pftman said that the tt

| a wireless message which conveyen
the warning that ice was present in
the sea, but that the spot marked
on the chart as being the place
where this ice was supposed to be
was north of the Titanic's course.
In the fifteen years previously
spent at sea Pitman testified that
he had seen but one iceberg.
Pitman said that the Titanic
took water temperature tests every
two hours, but not for the purpose
of detecting ieebergs, as such tests
were useless for such purposes.
The Titanic had, according to the
story told by the third office. been
keeping a special lookout for ice
bergs. He said that at the time of
the collision the Titanic was making
but twenty-one and a half knots per
hour, which was nothing to what
she was expected to do.
Pitman begged not to be re-
quired to describe the scenes after
the Titanic had disappeared below
the surface. He said that it was one
long moan, lasting nearly an hour,
from those who were swimming and
trying to keep afloat in hopes that
they would be rescued.
Pitman said that he wanted to
row back to pick up survivors, but
that the forty occupants of his boat
demurred, declaring that it would
be suicidal, and he did not go back.
The lookout who was stationed in
the crows nest of the Titanic the
night of the disaster testified that
he could have detected the iceberg
in time to prevent the collision If ne
had been furnished with nfght glass
es.
It developed yesterday from Box
halls testimony that with suecor

slid into it's watery grave, carrying
