FATAL B[UNDER
SMITH BLAMED
Captain Moore Considers His
Failure to Fix Position.
TOP SPEED a MISTAKE TOO
Tramp Steamer and Schooner In the
Ice Fields and That It Is Possible
Their Lights Were Seen
On the Titanic.

Washington. Failure to give her
exact position, a great field Of floating
Ice that offered frigid barrier to
ships hurrying to the rescue and the
mistake Of her own captain in rushing
at top speed through an Recovered
sea all these combined to send the
Titanic and her 1900 victims to their
watery grave in the North Atlantic.
This was strongly indicated in testi-
mony before the Senate committee in
vestigating the ocean tragedy.
Capt. Jas. II. Moore, Of the steamer
Mount Temple. which was hurrying to
the Titanic in response to wireless
calls for help, told of the great stretch
of field ice which held him of. With
in his view from the bridge he discern
ed, he said, another strange steamer,
probably a tramp, and a schooner
which was making her way out Of the
ice. The lights Of this schooner, he
thought, probably were those seen by
the anxious survivors Of the Titanic
and which they were frantically try
ing to reach.
Captain Moore denounced as most
unwise" the action Of the Titanic's
commander in rushing at q knots
through the night when he had been
advised of the proximity Of ice The
Mount Temples commander testified
that he had spent ~ years in the
North Atlantic. Whenever ice was
around, he said, he doubled his watch
and reduced speed, and if he happened
to get caught in an ice pack he stop
ped his engine and drifted until he
was clear.
The witness also was emphatic in
his declaration that the position sent
out by the Titanic was wrong. He
said the ship was eight miles farther
eastward than its operators reported
This, he declared, he proved by obser-
vations taken the first thing on tho
day following the disaster.
With what virtually was a feet Of
steamers within a radius of so miles
of the Titanic, the officer said that this
mistake in fixing accurately the posi-
ton Of the doomed ship was a fatal
one. With icebergs and floating ice
covering the northern sea, a ship of
even the size Of the Titanic might well
be overlooked through such a yari-
ance.

Oklahoma City, Okla. Fourteen
persons are reported to have been
killed by a tornado that swept through
the Southwestern corner Of Okla
homa and the Southeastern part of
the panhandle of Texas.
At Ell Dorado four were killed, a
woman and her three children; at
Calumet three, were killed, and in
Childress county, Texas, seven lost
their lives.
Many towns were in the path of
the storm. In Oklahoma. Lugert, Al
tus, Martha, Eldorado, Calumet, Blair
and Rocky were damaged, the latter,
a very small place, being practically
blown away. Many were injured
when buildings were torn apart and
pitched about by the wind.
In Texas the storm played greatest
havoc near Kirkland, where seven
persons were killed. Thirty farm
buildings were wrecked and Rock
Island work train of nine cars was
blown from the track. The wind was
accompanied by veritable cloud

Builder Aboard Passed Word
She Was Sinking.


Washington. Why many women
were lift to drown on the Titanic was
explained to Senator Smith in his
private Office by F. o. Evans, aSTitanic
sailor.
Senator Smith announced that IA
members Of the crew were examined
at night by individual members of the
investigating committee. About IL
more men remain to be disposed Of in
the same manner, and most of the
crew probably will be released with
out testifying in open session. The
evidence taken at night will be enter
ed in the regular testimony.
The committee members seem to be
well pleased with the examination of
witnesses by individual members of
the committee, and this procedure
will be followed with all of the mem
bers Of the crew here, and may be
adopted with the passengers. The in
dividual examinations are a great i'm
provement on the plan first adopted,
and, according to indications now, the
investigation will be concluded some
time this week. If the old manner of
questioning all witnesses in open ses.
sion had been followed the investiga-
ton would have taken several weeks.

DRAMATIC BATTLE
WITH BANDITS
Paris Outlaws Trapped in Ca

DYNAMITE TO GUST THEM
Bonnet, Leader OF Organized Gang OF
Automobile Bandits, Captured
Alive, But Was RiddIed
With Bullets.

Paris. Bonnet, the leader of an
organized gang Of automobile bandits,
who have been terrorizing Paris and
the surrounding districts for months
past, and Dubois, notorious
anarchist, were shot to death Sunday
in the most thrilling encounter in the
annals of French crime. A garage at
Choisy-le-Roi, nix miles south of Paris,
in which the bandits had taken refuge.
was blown up by dynamite, after these
two men had kept at bay for hours
a large part Of the police force Of
Paris, contingent of gendarmes, two
companies Of Republican Guards and
company Of engineers.
Ten thousand spectators viewed the
battle from points of vantage. The
engagement equaled in dramatic cir
cumstances the encounter of January,
1911, described as "the battle of Lon
don," when desperadoes suspected Of
being the murderers of police in
Houndsditch were trapped in a house
in the Whitechapel district and went
to their death battling against hun
dreds of London police and soldiers.
Bonnet and Dubois, after wounding
two policemen, took refuge in the gar
age. They were trapped in the build
ing, which was at once surrounded.
Reinforcements were dispatched to aid
the police, composed of gendarmes,
Republican Guards and engineers. A
battery of artillery was on the way
from Versailles when small detach.
ment Of soldiers succeeded in placing
dynamite against the structure and
blowing out the front wall.
Bonnet was captured alive. He was
riddled with bullets and died on the
way to hospital The great crowd
that had gathered, with cries Of death
to Bonnet" almost tore the bandit
from the soldiers, several Of whom
were injured.
Parisians, particularly automobilists,
have been in state of terror because
of the reckless crimes Of the auto
mobile bandits, which reached
climax in the murder of Assistant SUI
perintendent Jouin, of the detective
department, and the wounding of
Chief Inspector Colmar by Bonnet on
the morning of April "a.

Stays Ills WIFE
KILLS HIMSELF
Double Crime Of a New York
Orchestra Leader.
WOMAN WAS DEAD TWO DAYS
In Jealous Anger Musician Shot HisH
Wife In Temple and sIashed
Her Throat With
Knife.

New York-Albert De Brahms, an
orchestra leader, after killing his wife
in jealous anger more than two days
ago and apparently making every prep'
aration to dismember the body and
ship it away in trunk, committed
suicide Monday in his apartments on
West Thirty-ffth street. Il don't
want to die in the electric chair, SO ]
take my own life," he wrote in one
of three farewell notes confessing his
crime.
The body of his wife, a handsome
woman of 80, was. found in a bathtub
in the apartments, packed in sawdust
and plaster of paris, bullet hole
through the temple and knife wounds
in the throat and other parts of the
body.
De Brahms body was found, still
warm, hanging in a closet with a cord
around the neck and bullet in the
head.
The double crime was discovered
when a large trunk which the must
clan ordered on Saturday and in which
the police believe he intended to ship
away his wife's body, was delivered at
his door. In response to the teamster's
knocks. two notes, written in French,
were showed under the door, one adj
dressed to the elevator boy and an
other to De Brahms mother, in both
of which the musician confessed that
he had killed his wife and announced
his intention to pay the penalty by
taking his own life. Before the notes
could be translated De Brahms went
into the closet, slipped his neck
through a rope hanging to a clothes
hook and shot himself.
Y The police found in the apartments
third note of De Brahms, explain
ing his crime and addressed ITO the
law and whom it may concern" 1t
read:
II was too miserable since was
married. My wife made me the most
miserable man on earth. She came
home last Friday, after being out all
day, and had a terrible black eye
She had had a fight somewhere, SO
killed her then, because she wanted
to kill me. I strangled her and will
die in my turn Take care of my
angel mother. She is the grandest
mother on earth. My wife insulted
her, and this is the reason killed her.
Il don't want to die in the electric
chair. SO take my own life Goodby
to all my friends and thousand
kisses to my angel mother. Goodby.

whom he married abroad, and they
frequently quarreled.
The finding of large knife, which
had already been used apparently in
the mutilation of the woman's body;
the use of the plaster of paris and
sawdust; the arrival of the trunk and
the fact that the musician had told an
orchestra acquaintance that he in
tended to sail for Europe this week,
gave every evidence, the police say,
that he intended to conceal the muir

him to take his own life

have been indirectly responsible for

Several reports of the reduced speed
of the current have been made, the
latest by Captain Game, Of the Brit
