SEEKING NEWS OF RELATIVES AND FRIENDS
Washington. How the death agony
of the Tltanic'a victims waB transmit
ted into dollars by wireless operators
was the story told Thursday at the
senate inquiry by William Marconi,
the "wizard of wireless."
Shocked at Marcqnl's testimony,
angry frowns clouded the faces of
tho senators and spectators as the
tale was unfolded.
Marconi said that Operator Bride,
Titanic survivor, got $500 for his story
of the Tltanlc's death. He said Oper
ator Cottam of the rescue ship Car
pathia also sold his tale at a fancy
figure. .
Marconi strongly denied that he had
wired Bride and cottam "to keep their
mouths shut," and suppress the news
until it "could be coined into dollars
at four figures," when the survivors
reached New York.
Unaware of Tltanlc's Pllrj'it.
Boston. Tho Ley land steamer, Cal
ifornia, was less than twenty miles
from the Titanic when tho latter
foundered.1 Captain Lord said that
had ho known of the Tltanlc's plight
all the latter's passengers could havo
been saved. That his ship was tho
Bteamer reported to have passed
within five miles of tho sinking liner
and to have disregarded signals for
holp Captain Lord denied positively.
"I flguro that wo were from seven
teen to nineteon miles distant from
tho Titanic that night." he said.
"About 10:30 that Sunday night wo
steamed into an Immense Ico field and
immediately our engines wero shut
down to wait for daylight. With tho
engines stopped the wlroless was, of
courso, not working, so wo did not
hear of tho Tltanic'a plight until tho

made by Second Officer Frederick
Mecklenburg, who was on watch that
night.
Ixmdon. The British press, which
sevorely criticises Its own board of
trade and demands the most search
ing Inquiry, declines to Judge the case
until the British Inquiry is held and
displays feeling at the manner In
which .the Amorlcan Inquiry Is being
conducted and at what Is regarded as
the unfair treatment of J. Bruce Is-
may,
The Morning Post, in an editorial,
protests against American and Gor
man papers branding Ismay as a
coward and declares that it was clear

passenger on the Mount Temple, says
the ship changed its course and mado
preparations to give asststunco on
hearing the Tltnnlc's call for help, but
on encountering n field of ice, aban
doned the "north course." It was re
ported among the passengers, said
Mr. Zurich, that tho cuptnln asserted
he "would not endanger the 2,000 pas
sengers aboard the Mount Temple."
Mr. Zurich said he was positive he
had seen the masts of the Titanic and
thinks the Mount Temple might havo
reached tho spot before the Titanic
sank.
Saw the Rockets Plainly.
Washington. Ablazo with light
from 'her saloons and cabins, the Ti

destruction, according to Ernest Gill,

gating the disaster. He said that Cap
tain Stanley Lord of the California re
fused later to go to tho aid of the
Titanic, tho rockets from which could
be plainly seen. This Captain Lord'
denied, but both ho and his wireless
operator acknowledged having seon
rockets.
Operator H, T. Cottam of tho Car
pathia, was recalled and questioned
aB to the distress messages sent from
the Titanic. Tho first message of
distress from the Titanic, ho said,
was:
"Come at once; have Btruck a berg.
This Is a C. Q. D."
Cottam said ho assisted the Titanic
in communicating with other ships,
because escaping steam aboard inter
fered with tho Titanic instruments.
He told of getting in touch with six
or seven Bhlps, including tho Olympic,
tho Callfornian, tho Baltic and Helllc

Tho coffoo drinker seldom realizes
that coffee contains the drug, caffeine,
a Bcvcro poison to the heart and
nerves, causing many forms of dis
ease, noticeably dyspepsia.
"I was a lover of coffee and used It
for many years, and did not realise ths
bod effects I was suffering from Its
use. (Tea Is Just as Injurious as cof
fee because It, too, contains caffeine,
tho same drug found In coffoe.)
"At first I was troubled with Indiges
tion. I did not attribute the trouble
to the use of coffoe, but thought It
arose from other causes. With these
attacks I had sick headache, nausea
and vomiting. Finally my stomach
was In such a condition I could scarcei
ly retain any fond.
"I consulted a physician; was told
nil my troubles came from Indiges

caused tho lndgostion. I kept on with
tho coffoo, and kept on with the trou

grow worse from year to year until It

could keep nothing on my stomach and

159 to 128 pounds.
"A specialist informed me I had a

stomach, which had got so bad he
could do nothing for mo, and I became
convinced my days were numbered.
"Then I chanced to seo an artlclo sot
ting forth the good qualities of Postum

trial. I soon saw the good effects my
headaches were less frequent, nausea
and vomiting only came on at long In

"Then I thought I could stand coffee
again, but as soon as I tried It my old
troubles returned and I again turned
to Postum. Would you believe it, I
did this three tlmos before I had sense
enough to quit coffeo for good and
