New York, Sept. 14.-(R)-A New
York City fireman, John Kempf, de-
clared Friday that as early as l2:45
ES.To last Saturday morning he
smelled smoke on the liner MORO
Castle. Other witnesses have placed
discovery Of the fire which destroyed
the ship at shortly before 3 a. m.
ES.T)
Dickerson N. Hoover. head Of the
Department Of Commerce board in
vestigating the marine catastrophe
commented:
You are the first one to place the
time Of the start of the fire at l2:45.'
The witness said he thought he was
correct in giving that time-that he
smelled smoke then, but saw no fire
until later.
Hoover observed that as q fireman
Kempf's testimony was expert" and
extremely valuable"
Few Officers on Deck
Kempf said after he went up on deck
he saw very few ship officers.
Il began ordering myself" he said
The firemen's testimony caused
much laughter among his questioners
He was very vague about nautical
terms. but definite in his ideas con-
corning the proper technique Of ex-
tinguishing fires on ships.
Shortly after he smelled smoke
Kempf asserted, he saw it coming
through an elevator shaft on &C.
deck and issuing from crevices in the
partitions.
1T seemed strange to me-" he add
ed, because I thought the ship was
Of modern fireproof construction.
In the life-boat which took HIM of
the burning Moro Castle, he was the
only passenger, M. L. McElheny, OF
Plainfield, N. j., testified.
The other occupants Of the life-
boat, McElheny continued, were men,
bers Of the liners crew.
Only Passenger In Life Boat
"Were there any passengers in your
life-boat?" he was asked.
Il was told I was the only passen-
ger" the witness replied.
In reply to question if other pas
sengers could have been directed Ia
life-boats, McElheny declared:
They could II they were directed
soon enough"
McElheny said he had mo reason
to question the discipline Of the crew
during those wild moments on the
vessel when the flames spread with
amazing speed.
Dickerson N. Hoover, head of the
investigating body, asked the witness
for his explanation of why so few
passengers, and SO many crew men,
bers, were taken off the MORO Castle
in life-boatS.
McElheny replied that passengers
on "A deck-the most dangerous deck
= were probably removed to lower
decks to q safer position"
They were later cut off by the
fire." he added.
McElheny testified that in the life
boat an electrician Of the ship took
off his life preserver and gave it to
him.
Because I was a passenger and had
none," said the witness.

Took Commissions From

FEAR REACTIONS ABROAD
Nye Declares Orientals Used U.
s. Wheat Loan to Buy Arms
and AirpIanes

Washington, Sept. l4.-R-The
senate munitions committee Friday
clamped q censorship on some phases
Of its widespread munitions investi-
cation in the face of serious protests
from at least five foreign govern
ments.
Names of Chinese officials who re-
pltedly took commissions from q
du Pont agent In 1892 were withheld
from the record and from reporters.
Reference was made that this and
subsequent letters, which were not
made public, might have political re-
percussions abroad.
Soft Pedal Findings
1T seems to be-" Stephen Raush-
enbush, an investigator, said in an
swer to reporters questions Is to
whether q soft pedal was on"
The action followed q conference
by Secretaries Hull and Roper with
the committee.
I'm perfectly willing that you
write the story" Senator Nye (Rep,
N. d. said, but refused to discuss
details.
Evidence was given the committee
the du Point company had paid COM
missions" to high Chinese officials In
1882.
Lammot du Pont, president Of the
concern, said the payment was an
extremely unusual procedure and not
in accord with his company,s policy.
Pierre du. Point said It had beeu q
longtime policy for the company to
refuse. business rather than to per-
init such payments to government
officials.
The story Of q visit Lammot du
Point and Senator Townsend (Rep.,
DELI paid Assistant Secretary of
State Rogers prior to the sale of q
patented hydrogen process to ia
panese concern was related to the
committee.
Wheat Money Used for Guns
The visit was in 1882. Although
the process was described as not pri-
marily for military purposes, Japan
and China were then engaged in what
was termed "war-like activities"
The evidence was produced after
the committee in closed session had
discussed with Secretaries Hull,
Roper and state department experts
the policy to be pursued in the in
quiry next week. Senator Nye said
earlier in the day that the commit
tee had evidence indicating China
used 100000 wheat loan from
the United States last year to pur-
chase guns and airplanes.
The United States lent China the
10,000 900 to finance purchase Of
American wheat and an additional
$40 .000,0 to buy cotton.
It was the E. I. du Pont de Nemours
Vice President Irenee du
Pont, testified Thursday, that saved
the United States from becoming q
German colony during the World
War, through its assistance to France
and England and later to the United
States.
Du Pont sharply denied that the
war time profits Of his company lay
outside the field Of patriotism. and
declared most Of them came from
sales to the Allies.
He did not believe the war depart
ment would be as efficient as private
industry In furnishing war material
in time Of necessity.
