ISMAY ARRAIGNED
BYU.S.SENATE
FINDINGS
Blames Titanic Disaster Di
rectly on Captain. But Scores
Managing Director.
WASHINGTON. May 24 scatli
-Ir>K ararignment of .1. Bruce Ismay and
the White Stai line officials in New
York, a stern denunciation <>f many
members of the "pick-up 1 crew of the
Titanic, and sweeping charges of in
competence in the management of the
line will be made in the report of the
spe. IHI sub-committe. appointed to in
vestigate the Titanic disaster by the
I’nited States senate.
The report will be given to the sen
ate next Tuesday morning. It will be
submitted by Chairman William Alden
Smith, of Michigan.
Senator Smith, in his speech submit
ting th’ report, will ask for legislation
to prevent such a * alainity a.s the It
tanic's.
The report spates neithet .1. Bruce
Jatnax nor his subordinates in New
York, w hose juggling with ' the truth
after re, clving from Montreal informa
tion that the Titanic had sunk is sav
agely criticised. \
Emphasis Is laid on the cruelty of
sending out such a dispatch as that re
ceived by Senator Hughet* oFwfcw ler
sry, whose daughter ivus an the li
tanlc With her husband, and who was
told In a cablegram signed "White Star
Line 1 that the Titanic was being towed
into Halifax
Captain Smith Directly Blamed-
liiffit responsibility for the dispatch
is laid on Captain Smith It is point
ed out that had he heeded the four
warnings of lie sent him to other vA
seis the lives of the 1,631 victims would
hate been saved.
Pointing out that the sueed "f the
Tlt. nlc iusf before she Struck the ice
berg was 24 12 miles an hour, and that
it had been steadily increased after re
reiving In' warnings by wirele-s. th p
report asserts that the presence on
board of Ismay, the managing director
of the line, and Andrews, the construct -
or for Harlan A Wolf, the builders,
was undoubtedly an incentive io mak
ing this great speed.
It is stated that Ismay, who got
away safely, was advised immediately
of the danger, while many of the pas-l
Bergers were not, the Impact, although
equal in momentum to the impact of
the < ombined broadside.- of twenty
great battleships, being scarcely felt on
’he vessel, such was her giant size and
enormous stability
Life-Saving a Failure.
It js noted that the weather was clear
and perfect, the sea being calm, with
no swell conditions that would have
been ideal for the saving of all hands
on board had there been but adequate
life-saving apparatus and adequate
Bailors to man them. But. although
fhgre was room in the lifeboats for
l.ftTS persons, the report says but 704
persons were put into them owing to
the disorganized and disorderly condi
tion of the crow
Special stress Is laid on the utter
failure of the junior officers, who were
among the first to leave the ship, to
make any effort whatever to rescue
many of those in the water, for whtim
room might easily have been found in
the lifeboats.
Says Ismay Wanted
To Spare Survivors
LONDON. May 24 An explanation
of orders issued by .1. Bruce Ismay,
managing director of the International
Mercantile Marine, while he md other
survivors of the Titanic wore on board
the liner <'arpathia proceeding to New-
York, was demanded by Lord Mersey,
the presiding offlier. when the govern
ments inquiry into the great White
Star disaster was resumed today
Captain Rostrum of the ’"arpathia
had sent a wireless message to the
Spring-End Sale!!
Preceding a large shipment of goods from

TITANIC REPORT FINDS;
That Captain Smith was directly responsible for the disaster.
That the presence of J. Bruce Ismay inspired speed frenzy.
That no tests were made of the bulkheads, the sole protection
against sinking.
That the life-saving apparatus was • pathetically inade
quate.”
That 372 persons more cold have been saved but for the dis
organized crew.
That junior officers heartlessly left many in the water who
could have been rescued.

not aiding the Titanic.
That Ismay was immediately warned of the danger, while
others of the Titanic were not.
That Captain Rostron, of the Carpathia, acted heroically.
That The New York American ’s recommendations of marine
reforms be adopted by congress.
White Star liner Olympic saying that
Ismay had given orders that the Olym
pic should not be eren and that there
should he no transfer of survivors from
the t'arpajbla to any other ship. At
torney General Sir Rufus Isaacs sug
gested that the message meant that the
ships were not to get within range of
on" another. Sir Robert Finlay. chief
counsel for the White Star line, said it
was his opinion that Ismay wanted to
spare the feelings of the Titanic sur
vivors while on board the (‘arpathia
and feared that, because of crowded
quarters on the ('arpathia. some of the
rescued might want to he transferred
if they saw another ship.
Ismay evidently feared that a trans
fer would he unsafe. Th.- managing
director was not present to defend him
self.

ing on the stand. Jieing followed by
l-'rederick Fleet, one of the sailors In

CHEAPER TO KEEP GIRLS
IN SCHOOL THAN AT HOME'
BOSTON. May 24. It is cheaper for
wealthy parents to send then daugh
ters to Wellesley than to keep them at
home, according to a statement by Mirs
Allee Walmsley, a Wellesley graduate
who has made an investigation of col
lege girls' expenses
"The testimony of the richer girls as
to the relative cost of their being at
college or at home is of some value, 11
her report says: "Many of them agree
Hint it is cheaper for their families to
have them at Wellesley than at home.
The saving is due mainly to the fact
that girls in college feel sufficiently
well dressed with fewer clothes' than
would be required If they were at home.
The traveling and entertaining which
they would do if they were living at
home would more than equal the mon
ey spent for their college payments."
It costs a Wellesley student an av
erage of S9OO a year. Miss Walmsley
finds.

Free Embroidery Lessons for the Children
In the Art Department Every Saturday Morning
A Kindergarten Embroidery Class starts to
morrow morning and will continue every Satur
day morning hereafter, It is a new departure
that, we believe, mothers will be quick to appre
ciate and children eager to take up.
Miss Me Laughlin, a skilled needle-woman,
will give these lessons, beginning with the simplest
stitches and designs, teaching the children the first
rudiments of embroidering, until gradually they
may take up the more intricate stitches and the
more elaborate designs..
Considering the ability of Miss McLaughlin
and the fact that the lessons are free to all who
buy their materials here, this really amounts to an
opportunity.
The materials necessary to begin amount to
just 25c—a 17-inch white linene centerpiece and
floss ioc, embroidery hoops 10c, embroidery
needles 05c—or a 22dnch tan tinted centerpiece
with six skeins of silk floss, with a book of in
structions, 25c.
The children may come any time on Saturday
mornings.
This in no way interferes with the free lessons
given every morning to the grown-ups who buy
their materials here.
