 The SS Clevelend's chief officer, James Henderson, and the third officer, Harold Peterson, related hesitantly but with conviction their belief that Captan Robert Carey. master of the rescue vessel, erred in his efforts to rescue the dis aster victims.
 "The life-boats should have been lowered sooner" Henderson said, in commenting on the fact that the Cleveland came abeam of the burn ing ship at 6:20 a. m., EDT, on Saturday, but the first boat did not hit the water until 1908 a. m. He said the delay was due to lack of orders. although 1t was testified that appeals were made to the captain to order the boats away.
 T believe more persons could have been saved if the Cleveland had been brought in closer and the boats put out earlier" Peterson testified, adding that at that time persons were clingfng to ropes on the sides of the Morro Castle and that others had been seen to le;,p overheard.

 MT Raskob must be given most of the credit for the good job that was done on our General Motors financing" Irenee Du Pont told the committee.

PATROL TEAMS IN
 STATE TITLE TILT
D0ric Chapter Seeks to Retain Trophy-Final
 Rehearsal Tonight

The patrol team of Doric Chap ter Order of DeMolay will meet tonight to put on the finishing touches of their drill for the championship event with Bridge port. The local boys have been wroking hard under the direction of Captain Archie Phillips for the past month and have developed a long list of intricate and compli- cated movements. The team is in fine shape and the snap of facings and precision of alignments as they go through the many figures shows the results of hard work.
 This form of competition is somewhat new to the local boys, state competition. In June 1883 this being their second year in the first time Doric Chapter ever entered into state competition of this kind they finished fifth with six teams drilling. Bridgeport win ming at that time carried off the silver trophy representing the championship of the state. Last June at New Britain four teams met for the state title and Doric Chapter brought the Trophy to Waterbury, thus gaining one leg ou lnS cup IOT permanent pOceS- sion with Bridgeport.
 Due to mixup in the time set for the competition, Bridgeport did not drill at New Britain. They re- luctantly handed the cup over to Waterbury and immediately chal- lenged the local boys to their right to hold it. The competition Sat- urday evening is the results of that challenge. Bridgeport Chapter has had patrol for the past ten years and have ben recognized as the ] outstanding team in the state, hav- ing won several cups in the last decade. News from the Park City indicates that the boys down the line are confident of taking the cup back with them and thus get ting another leg on the trophy.
 Captain Archie Phillips. for mcny years captain of Nosahogan Guards and probably the best man in this section of the state in this line of work, has developed a team and a set of movements which look like winners and the local boys are determined to keep the cup here in Waterbury and put themselves in a position where one more win will give them per- manent possession.
 Which ever team wins the peo- pie of Waterbury are sure of a fine exhibition of fancy drilling. Dancing will follow the competi- ton. Music being furnished by De- Molay Knights of Melody.

never been instructed what to do in such an emergency and that she had never attended fire drill. She emphasized however, that fire drill was held regularly.
 Mrs SchwarZ told of many trips into the burning vessel to lead pas sengers out, of how stewards also led out passengers or pounded on their doors to awaken them, of how the crew fought the fire with hose on which the pressure was good until about dawn.'
 She finally was virtually pushed over the rail, went down a line trying to help a small boy, and was later picked up by a life boat from shore.
 Paul Arneth, a passenger oi Brooklyn, related that he turned ir fire alarm shortly before a. m. possibly the last alarm, but did moi hear it ring.
 Hoover said that George Alagna second radio operator on the MorrC Castle. who was alleged in testi. mony yesterday to have been fear ed and suspected of being "venge. fur' by the late Captain Robert Willmott, would be called before the board, but not today.
 New York, Sept. 13-(UP)-The first officer of the rescue ship Cleveland joined with the chief of ficer and the third officer today in condemning the rescue efforts of Captain Robert Carey, whose boat stood by the stricken Morrc Castle. f
 Dwight Randall, the first of- fcer said delay in lowering boats and alleged poor judgment in handling the Cleveland had des- troyed his respect for Captain Carey.
 Randall. whose life boat was in the water only from 7:0S a. m. to 7:54 a. m. EST. said he would not sail under Captain Carey again.
 Havana. Sept. 13-(UP) = The MOrro Castle disaster was caused by communists, Captain Oscar Hernandez, chief of the port police declared today. He said he was preparing a complete report for the United States sauthorities as soon as they request it"
 Hernandez said an investigation was progressing and that 1t would not be terminated for two or three days. Although he refused to de- veal the details of the inquiry. he said emphaticaily '.the investiga- ton so far has convinced me that the Morro Castle disaster was of

 New York, Sept. 13.--(UP).- A smart recovery in United States government bonds was the out standing feature on the stock ex- change today while stocks drifted airf1lessly in dull turnover.
 Other markets were dull and ir- regular. The dollar was steady. Wheat gained slightly but other grain receded. Cotton lost a few points. Rubber was substantially lower. Sugar was about unchanged.
 A small loss was sufficient to bring the utility average into new low ground since April, 1893. Rail- road shares were little changed. Steels eased after early firmness. Silvers moved narrowly as, did golds. Motors were around the va rious close near thee of the ses- sion.
 There was feeling in Wall street that U. S. Steel corporation might see fit to emilinate the small dividend now paid on pre- ferred stock. Selling of moderate proportions in the issue brought il down to new low for the year

President Is Still
 Hopeful For Peace
tcontinued from Page l,

The brief official statement from the White House which was dic- tated by the president came after hours of unbroken silence.
 To all requests for information Marvin H. Mcintyre, White House secretary tersely remarked:
 "The president has nothing to say. There is no comment on any thing relating to the textile strike"
 Executive offices here declined to speculate on the possibility of the president cancelling his trip to the International Yacht races at Newport, E. l.. tomorrow.
 If he decides to go the Astor Yacht Nourmahal will take him to Narragansett Bay, a short distance from the scene of recent strike rioting.
 Strike Lenders Refuse Washington, Sept. 13.-UP).- Textile strike leaders refused today to recall pickets in Rhode Island in response to request from Gov Theodore F.. Green.
 Green has advised President Roosevelt of the strike crisis in his state, and reported a promise of federal troops if national guards men, World War veterans and augmented state police fail to cope with the situation in Rhode Island mill towns. The United Press learn- ed that federal troops are ready to move by p. m.
 All disorders will stop when the mills close. Our organization insists upon the right to picket without interference" Francis J. German, strike leader, telegraphed Green.
 The strike leaders stand came after union chiefs conferred with President William Green of the American Federation of Labor and while the army general staff met to draft plans for possible mobil- ization of troops. Riots and footing in three Rhode Island towns last night resulted in one death and wounding of scores of strikers in street battles with guardsmen.
 Federal peace efforts by Presi- dent Roosevelt's special mediation board meanwhile had broken down
 German appealed to all strikers union and non-union-to make no resort to violence"
 German asserted in reply to Greens telegram asking that dem- onstrations end at Woonsocket that the Woonsocket Rayon plant pivot of the rioting, has fought the union for months
