Charges "BIack Gang" in
Lifeboat Refused to Help
Save Passengers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November '27-A first
class bedroom steward testified today
that he got away from the sinking
steamer Vestris in lfeboat less than
one-third filled and that when he sug-
geSted reScuing some passengers he was
threatened with being struck over the
head with an oar.
There were Is men In the lifeboat
which had capacity of betwene so and
80, he said All but him were colored
firemen, he said.
II suggested we cruise around and
pick up some passengers" said Thomas
Edwards, the steward, "but one of the
firemen told me If you don't shut up
I'll crack you over the head with an
bar"
Alfred Hansen, member Of the crew,
testified today that no effort had been
made to get passengers into the star
board lifeboatS of the sinking liner.
Crew Used Lifeboats.
Hansen. an assistant pantryman, said
three of the starboard boats got away
from the ship filled with members OF
the crew.
Hansen said that no effort was made
to get the women and children, most
of whom perished, out of lifeboats on
the port side, although he testified it
would have been easier to raise those
boats back to the davitS and put the
women and children into the Starboard
boats than to force the port boats over
the side of the ship with oars.
Alfred Duncan, second steward on
the Vestris, said that If lines had been
strung across the ship, 1t might have
been possible to put passengers into
the starboard lifeboats. He said that
he had tried to string such line, but
failed.
Testimony that Capt. Carey of the
VestriS told ship an hour after his
S o that he did not need help was
given.
The radio log of the British liner
Cedric showed that at 10:55 on the
morning the Vestris sank, she received
the message: Thanks: don't need your
help. Proceed. Carey" 1t was an
answer to her own message that she
was l8O miles away and would come
to the aid of the Vestris If needed.
First S o S Sent at 9:5S.
No testimony was introduced to
show why this was done, but the sup
position was that Capt. Carey expected
to receive aid from nearer ships.
The log of another ship, the Ketwick
Hall, showed that Capt. Carey gave
the first intimation of his serious
plight at 837 on the fateful Monday
morning At that time he sent out a
message to all ships. saying: please
stand by. We may need your assist
ance" The S o S followed at 9:58.
Ernest Smith, second refrigeration
engineer, contradicted previous testi-
mony and reports of passengers that
Lionel LicoriSh, negro quartermaster,
was the hero of the sinking.
Smith said he was in charge of boat
IA, which Licorish was credited with
taking command of, and that the negro
never assisted in picking man out
of the water"
His testimony was given at the same
time LicoriSh was being received for
mally by Mayor Walker at City Hall
and hailed as hero. He had been
credited by passengers with saving 20
lives.
Suits aggregating 1862 900 have been
filed against the Lamport e. Holt Line,

trict Attorney Banton in explanation
IT can't discuss her now. I am not
certain that we have enough evidence
at this time to obtain an Indictment
against her"
The district attorney added that the
public would have to wait until the
grand jury completes its investigation,
probably Friday, to learn definitely on
whom the State has fixed suspicion in
the search for the person who fired a
bullet into Rothstein.
The general belief had been that Mr..
Banton would ask the grand jury to in
dict McManus, and would also seek the
indictment of professional gunman.
To make certain that they will not
follow McManus into hiding, four of the
men held as material witnesses must
furnish 100000 bail each to obtain
their liberty, They are Niger Nate

The fifth man, Martin (Red) Bows,
former intimate OF Rothstein, furnished
$4,000 bail.
1t was in Meehans home that Roth
stein lost heavily in 100000 poker
game last September. The authorities
still hold the theory he was shot be-
cause he WEIGHED" on his debt from

FARM RELIEF PLANS
UP TO CONGRESS
President Believes Question OF
When Bill Should Come Up Is
Not His Province.

The question of either passing farm
relief legislation at the coming short
session of Congress or postponing ac-
ton until a special session, seems to be
more of a matter for Congress to
determine rather than the Chief Execu-
tive, according to the viewpoint taken
by President Coolidge.
While discussing the subject with
callers today, Mr. Coolidge indicated he
is of the opinion that Congress could
dispose of this matter during the COM
ing session, if it was able to reach an
agreement in advance of bringing the
subject on the floor
If there were no such agreement he
fears long debate would follow which
would probably defeat the plans for
getting the bill through before this
Congress expires.
The President Is not advised as to
what the intentions of Congress are
in the matter. At least he has only
a definite idea of what some of the
leaders have in mind. He has not talk
ed with many members of the House
and Senate on the subject. and until
he does he would rather not discuss
what plans Congress should pursue.

WOULD HALT PLANS
FOR INAUGURAL DAY
Republican Chairman of Dis

Before civic leaders and others, who
are considering plans for celebrating
Herbert Hoover's Inauguration go ahead
and make arrangements, they should
first learn definitely just what Mr..
Hoover wishes in the matter, Samuel
j. Prescott, Republican State chairman
for the District of Columbia, who
managed the Republican campaign IN
Washington, declared today.
Mr. Prescott discussed the question Of
the Inauguration with Mr.. Hoover in
an informal way before the latter lett

he has reason to feel that Mr.. Hoover is
deSirous of only simple celebration.
He has not heard definitely, however.

rangements of the inaugural committee

The matter of Washington staging an
inaugural celebration of its own regard

posed by Mr. Prescott. 1t is his opinion
that the civic bodies and others should
fall in line with the President-elect'S
wishes
Mr.. Prescott stated today this matter
of separate celebration did not meet
with favor when 1t was considered by
the executive committee of the Board of
Trade yesterday, and that he hoped
other organizations would wait until
they hear definitely just how far Mr..
Hoover wants the citizens of Washing

The executive committee Of the

DISMISSAL ASKED
OF RADIO APPEALS
Federal Commission Acts in
General Electric Case A.
fecting Station WGY.

The Federal Radio Commission today
asked the District of Columbia Court
of Appeals to dismiss the appeal of the
General Electric Co. and to vacate the
order of court staying the operation of
the general order of the commission
changing wave-length ALLEGATIONS to
permit Station WGY, at Schenectady,

also requested the dismissal OF the ap-
peal of the people of the State of New
York. who joined with the company
in its request for the stay of the gen.
eral order. The case is scheduled Tor
hearing December 8.
Through Attorney Louis T. Caldwell,
the commission attacks the jurisdiction
of the court claiming that the apph-
cation for notice of appeal fails to
follow the provisions of the radio act
by which the court is authorized TO
hear appeals from decisions OF the
commission No decision of the COM
mission. it is pointed out. is complained
of in the application, but relief is
sought from pending application not
acted upon by the commission.
The court lacks jurisdiction. it is con-
tended, because the notice of appeal
of the General Electric Co.. fails to
show that there has been a refusal by
the commission of an application for
construction permit or for a station
license or for a renewal or modif-
cation of an existing license or revoca-
ton of license. These are the only
orders which are appealable to the
court. it is claimed
In reference to the application by At
torney General Ottinger for the people
of New York. the commission asserts
that the people of that State have no
such interest in the application Of the
General Electric Co.. as to entitle them
to appeal and no such appeal is grant,
