PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 13.-Captain Ed
ward E. johnson, commander of the
Old Dominion line steamship Monroe,
sunk in the collision with the Mer-
chants and Miners steamship Nan
tucket off the Virginia coast on jan
uary 80, again testified today in the
trial of Captain Osmyn Berry, Of the
Nantucket who is charged with neg
ligence in connection with the disas-
ter.
Captain. johnson said the two ships
were locked together only about two
seconds at the time of the collision
The Nantucket rebounded quickly and
fell in alongside and struck the Mon
roe again broadsides on. The second
shock appeared to be greater than the
first.
When the vessels parted again after
an interval of 20 seconds, the Nan
tuc5et Goated astern and the Monroe
forward. CAPTAIN Johnson said he be-
lieved it wculd have been impossible
to keep the two ships together in order
to rescue all passengers and crew had
such an effort been made. Captain
Johnson said he did not signal the
chief engineer to start the pumps as
he regarded it as useless.
One of the mysteries of the disaster,
Captain Johnson said, was why the
Monroe sank by the stern when the
hole was forwerd. The hnIy way he
could account for this, he said, was
that the water probably ran to the
stern and caused that part Of the ves-
sci to sectle first.
Captain Johnson, in concluding his
direct examination. wanted to impress
upon the board Of inspectors that the
list of the Monroe was SO great that
1t was impossible to walk on the decks
to get TO the port side of the vessel to
launch boats.
The board complimented Captain
johnson for the manly manner in
which he had answered their questions
for two and q half days.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 13.-James Ben
nett McCreary, now governor of Ken
lucky, and the champion comeba ok
statesman of the United States, wants
TO go to the United States senate
for the term beginning a year from
next March.
Mr.. McCreary has been in politics
long time-there are several men in
the United States senate who weren't
born when he began his political ac-
tivity. He became governor of the
state in 1S75-the year Senator Shep-
pard of Texas was born-and he was
a member of the Kentucky house Of
representatives in 1S69-ten years be-
fore Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee
was born. He served through five con-
crosses, retired in 1897 and six years
later returned to Washington as a
of the senate He became gov
ernor the second time in 1915 years
after his first election to that Office.
If Governor McCreary goes to the
senate again he will be rs years of
age when he takes his seat. There
are two members of the senate older
than McCreary-Senators Stephenson
and Gallinger, but both of their terms
sxpire ON the day McCTeary hopes 20
lake his seat. If they are not re-
.urned, McCreary would be the oldest
But he wouldn't be the least
active.
