NEW YORK, April 20.-J. Bruce
Ismay, managing director of the White
Star line is to be recalled today be-
fore the senate Investigating commit
tee, now delving into the facts sur
rounding the wreck of the Titanic. He
probably will be summoned to testify
in rebuttal before the day s testifyiug
is over, according to Senator Smith of
Michigan, chairman Of the committee,
who acknowledged this morning that

executive again before 1T for the pur.
pose Of clearing up several points that
now appear to be in dispute between
witnesses.
Although Mr.. Ismsy urged the com
mittee to permit him TO go for the pres
ent, pleading that he was on the verge
of a nervous collapse BY reason of his
experience, his request was not granted.
There will remain as witnesses four
officers and twelve members of the
crew, and they will be heard AS quickly
as possible. The indications arc that
the inquiry will not be completed be-
fore tho middle OF next week.
Survivors of Crew Rejoice.
There was rejoicing on board the
Red Star liner Lapland, which sails

ment had announced his intention Of
holding every member OF the Titanic g
crew until the inquiry was ended, had
changed his policy, after conference
at midnight.
Mr.. Smith decided that it would be
unfair to q majority Of those whose
anxiety to return to their families and
friends should be unsntishcd. Therefore,
he e1erted his authority to hold the
witnesses already arranged for, and as
a result deputy sergeant at arms of
the United States seuato was made re.
sponsible for their appearance when
the committee convened They were
present to man.
The first witness was Alfred Craw-
ford. the bedroom steward Of the I'll
tanic. who resumed his testimony as
to conditions at the time Of the col.
lision at the point where he left off

Just before the senate committee in
vestigating the Titanic disaster met,

The first witness was Thomas Cot
tam. the wireless operator on the Car

messages that had passed between the
Carpathia and the Titanic.
"What was the last message sent to

Bride said tbat the reason they dismissed
the Frankfort that they were al
