General Public Excluded.

Owing to the great confusion caused
by the rush Of the crowds to the hearing
and the constant interruptions during the
interrogations of witnesses. the Senate
committee determined today to exclude
the general public. To accomplish this
the hearing was transferred to a smaller
room In the Senate office building. Only
witnesses. those particularly interested
IN the inquiry and members Of the press
were admitted to the room.
The change caused disappointment to
thousands. most OF them women, who
crowded about the corridors leading to
the marble caucus room as early as $50
the crowd that the plans had been
changed and the general" public would
be excluded because of the confusion
caused yesterday there were loud pro-
tests. Hundreds remained about the
building clamoring for admittance. The
crowds lined the Railways leading to the
new room and the police had difficulty
keeping passageway to the door.
Long Investigation Expected.
Members of the Senate investigating
committee expressed the view that the
hearing would require many days. In
the opinion of Senator william Alden
smith. the chairman. and many Of his
colleagues, SO much already has been
learned Of the circumstances which led
up 10 the awful affair from the examina-
tion of but a few witnesses that it is
incumbent upon them to get all possible
information from every person who can
enifghten the committee.
That the facts already disclosed point
out INACCURACIES In marine regulation
they are convinced and that the whole
story, when told. will form the basis for
new maritime laws and lead TO interna-
tionai conferences entirely revising ocean
steamship transportation, they do not
doubt. Information has come to the Sem
ate that the authorities of all the great
maritime nations of the world are watch
ing the Investigation closely.

Efforts to Detect Icebergs.
Asked if he saw any ice Sunday, Pit
man said he did not The fact that the
temperature was lower. he said, would
not indicate the presence Of ice.
In this country and our country, the
temperature changesl are such that one
wants an overcoat one day and cool
clothes the next. bud that is not due to
ice," said Pitman.
Pitman declared in bill his navigation of
the sea he had only seen one iceberg.
senator smith suggested that the prox-
unity OF ice was indicated In a number of
ways, such as the eject on the sky the
change in temperature, the CLINT of SIM
or moonlight upon it. The witness
said that sight virtually was the only way
to discover the proximity Of icebergs.
