ant Engineer John T. French of the
steamer Fairfax, testified today that
Is minutes after the collision Tuesday
night with the Fall River tanker Pin
this and the subsequent fire, he found
that the main fire pump had not yet
been started.
French answered questions of Chief
Inspector DickerSon N. Hoover of the
United States Steamboat Service, and
his assistants just after the opening
of today's hearing in the Federal in
Vestis alton into the disaster, which cost
Al lives.
Low Pressure of Hose.
The engineer 3aid the two deck pumps
were working fore and aft, but that
while handling a deck hose, he said he
called the chief engineers attention to
the low pressure. French went to the
engine room and found the main pump
had not been turned on.
French explained the fact by saying
that the engine room was full of smoke
and conditions were bad down there
His queStionerS then brought out that
previously the third engineer had testi-
fed that the engine room was compare
lively clear of smoke, although the fire
room was full.
Couple Warned in Vain.
While on the deck with the hose,
French said, a man and woman with
life preservers asked him about jump
ing overheard.
Don't do that" French replied

comes to going overheard, we'll all go

Nevertheless, French testified, the
couple leaped into the sea.

Questioned About Rope.
Powell was questioned about the tes-
timony of James Boggs, second steward,
who had said Marine cut fall rope

said the rope certainly appeared to have
been cut when they examined 1t last
night.

announced that he would go to Norfolk.

LOBBY COMMITTEE
WORK IS NEAR END
Cannon Examination Report
to Senate to Be Made
Next Week.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The spectacular career of the Senate
lobby committee is believed to be ended,
except for a few formalities.
Committee members, who have been
laboring for eight months to expose the
activities of lobbyists TO public gaze,
have not definitely decided to suspend
operations, but they consider 1t unlikely
that any further witnesses will be called.
The next move by the committee will
be a report to the Senate on the ex-
animation of Bishop James Cannon,
jr., who def1antly refused to answer
questions about his 1923 anti-Smith &C
Invites. 1t will be made early next
week.
No further action against the Bishop
is planned by the committee, but Sena-
tor Blaine, Republican, Wisconsin,
contends that when the report is
transmitted to the Senate, Vice Presi-
Cent Curtis is required by law to present
it to the district attorney for possible
contempt proceedings.
Chairman Caraway, however, main
tains the bishop did not legally refuse
to answer questions, because the COM
mittee ruled it did not have authority
to question him about his political &C
tivities.
A general report on the prohibition
investigation and one on the entire
lobby inquiry will be made later, and
that is expected to terminate the COM
mittee's activity.
1t began operation last October Is. I'M
der a resolution introduced by Senator
Caraway, Democrat Arkansas, who was
named chairman of the committee.
Since that time approximately 100 wit
nesses have paraded before the five in
vestigators for questioning about polit-
ical activities. The record consists of
approximately 100000 words
The examination of Cannon wound
up an investigation into prohibition ac-
tivities of the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment, the ,Anti-Sa-
loon League and the Board of Temper
ance, Prohibition and Public Morals of

Corson & Gruman submitted the low
bid for the work of resurfacing streets

bids was $32S,760. w. r. Brenizer put
in the low bid for laying concrete road
ways, his bid being 60,384.50.
These bids carried a clause stating
that no contract would be awarded
until after enactment of the appropria-
ton bill. They were filed with a catch
of other bids for District highway work,
which must be delayed until the bill is
signed. About $4,000 in new con-
struction of streets and roads is tied
up by failure of the conferees on the
District bill to agree on its terms.
