After the robbers had finished their work
they shot holes In the air signal tube

I'nder cover of three revolvers the

WASHINGTON, April -Presldent
Taft probably will send a warship soon
to the west coast of Mexico to enable
Americans Isolated In Sinaloa and other
statea to leave the disturbed district An
announcement by the State department
tonight declared this action likely In view
of the general anxiety for American In
those localities.
State department officials pointed ou:
that with the suspension of railroad com
munication and the interruption of
telegraph service, many American citisens
on the west coast of Mexico, especially at
Los Mochls, In Slnaloa, as well as In the
vicinity of Mazatlan. are Isolated. This
fact, together with many report of In
creased lawlessness on the west coast.
Is causing much anxiety to Americans In
the region affected and their friends In
the Untied States. Many requests and
expressions of anxiety have reached the
State department.
State department officiate declared this
action ' necessary because otherwise there
Is no way to learn of the safety of those
Americans who are at present not only
entirely cut off from communication with
the outside world, but deprived by the
cessation of railroad service of any means
of leaving."
The sending of a vessel to the coast of
Mexico sets precedent In the present
revolutionary disturbances, aa heretofore
the Vnlted States navy has reralned from
cruising In Mexican waters. A British
vessel last year, however, landed marines
on the western coast of Mexico to enable
foreigner to escape the effects of a
threatened attack by rebels.

WO Central Park West, New York City,
and James J. Ilyan of Katalla. Alaska,

secretary of the Interior to furnish all
facta connected with coal entries made
upoa land withdrawn from the Chugach
national forest reserve In Alaska and
later restored to the public domain under

syndicate, had been
permitted, through the Instrumentality of
President Taft and then Secretary of
Interior Bellinger, to obtain control of
the whole water front In Controller bay,

NEW YORK. April 21. The White Star
line ha received a wireless, dated April
. from the cable ship Mackay Bennett
stating that the steamer Rehla reports
passing wreckage and floating bodies
at the scene of the Titanic disaster. The
Mackey Bennett reached the scene at S
o'clock Saturday evening and reported
that operations would be begun Sunday.
NEW YORK, April 51. With dramatic
suddenness the senate Investigation of the
Titanic disaster came to an end yesterday
so far as the New York hearing was
concerned. It will be resumed, however.
In Washington on Monday when J. Kruoe
Ismay and P. A. 8. Franklin, chief of.
fleer of the White Star line, and mora
than a core of officers nd crew of the
sunken vessel will appear before the
committee.
Incident to the sudden close of the
hearing here was the story of Harold
8. Bride, the second and only surviving
wireless operator of the Titanic. HI
tsle wss on of suffering end deth. He
told of th final plunge of the vessel.
Its captain's end was also revealed. He
leaped from th bildge when the waters
were closing over th ship.
In connection with the transfer of th
hearing to Washington It was Intimated
that the power of the ente In federal
territory would be undlaputed in getting
at the real facts and no question ol state
rights could arise to Interfere. Through
out the hearing also officials of the
Whit Str line had portrayed th dan
gers of sailors' boarding house In New
York a a reason why those detained by
the committee should be allowed to sail
on th Lapltnd which left today.
Tttanle's Operator Testifies.
Throughout th peering In the -morning
Wireless Operator Bride, crippled as a
result of his experiences and seated Ip
sn Invalid's chair, told his story of the
last moment, . U.Tltaj!o. HI r
ratlra, doewa from him piecemeal by
Senator smith f Michigan, chalrmsn of
the commute, held enthralled tha com
mit tear and th audience. When his or
deal ended hi wa almost on tha verge
of collapse.
After the hearing was resumed In the
afternoon, announcement of tne cnange
of baae waa made. Herbert J. Httmen.
the third officer ot the Titanic, bad been
called to the witness' chair. Senator
Smith directed one question to him. re
lating to the whereabouts of the ship's
log. Th witness said he did net know.
Promptly Mr.. Smith announced the com
mittee' decision to resume the Inquiry In
Washington on Monday. Later he Is
sued a statement giving In oetu nts
reasons for this sudden chsnge In plana,
The committee devoted Its entire day
to an investigation ot the connection of
th wireless with the disaster. II. T.
Cottam, the operator of the Carpathla,
was the first witness. Senator Smith
sought to establish certain testimony he
hsd given on the stand yesterday and this
soon was ended. Then came the tar
witness of the day.
Brtde was wheeled to the end of theljnalon
stage. He was hollow cheeked and weak
and had Just come from a physician's
care. His nerves were unquiet ana ne
looked at his Interlocked fingers Inces
santly.
Bar fieta Small Wsgrs.
Uke Cottam, w ho Is !J years old. Bride
Is merely a boy. Neither had hsd any
telegraphic experience previous to taking
up wireless telegraphy and both told
tales of long hours at low wsges and days
snd nights spent without sleep.
This Inexperience and the nental con
dition of the yi'.'Ug operators were the
! two points on which Penalor Kmlth bore
' persistently. He had put Cottam
through a gruelling examination In which
the youth testified that he had not slept
more than eight or ten hours between
Kunday night, when the Titanic called for
help, and Thursday night, when the vessel
docked here. Bride's story waa one that
bore out virtually all that Cottam' had
established, except that his was one of
nervous strain and worry and high
keyed suspense.
Beat ttsaee for Help, I. set.
Rrkte wa cloeely questioned aa to the
first call for aid sent out by the Titanic.
He said the first vessel to answer was
th Frankfurt of the North German
Lloyd line. The operator on the Frank
furt, according to the witness, appar
ently considered the call more or less
trivial, for half an hour after receiving
the imperative appeal of the sea he called
the Titanic to Inquire specifically Just
what was wrong'
"Mr. Phllltppe said he was a fool," Bride
. . ' . ' . .. ... .
testified, referring to the chief operator
f on the Titanic, who lost his life, "and
told blm to keep out."
No effort wa made to re-establish
communication with the Frankfurt, al
though Phillip felt certain that the ves
sel was much nearer than the Carpathla,
with which communication bad bean es
tablished. This. Bride said, Phllllppa
Judged by reason of the greater power of
the Hertxian waves.
Sneator Smith expressed aton!hment
at the statement. He repeatedly pressed
the witness to explain why the aid of a
vessel many miles nearer a sinking ship
was not Invoked. Brtde evaded a direct
answer by saying he did not know, that
prooably tiie Frankfurt a operator could
not understand and tr.at Phllllpps, his
superior, had used his own Judgment.

NEW YORK, April 21. -Three warnings
that an Iceberg waa ahead were trans
mitted from the crow's nest ot the Ti
tanic to the officer of the doomed steam.
ship' bridge fifteen minutes before It
struck, according to Thomas Wlilteley, a
first ealonn steaard. who now lie In
St. Vincent hospital with ' (rosea snd
lacerated feet.
Wlilteley, wuo wa whipped overboard
from the ship by a rope while helping
to lower a ItfetViat. finally reached the
Carpathla aboard one of the boata that
contained, he eafd, both the crow'n nest i
lookouts. He heard a onnversation be
tween them, he asserted. In which they
discussed the warnings given of the pre,
ence of the Iceberg. Whlteley did not
know either of the lookout men's name
and believes they have returned to F.ng-
bind with the majority of the surviving
members of Die crew.
"I heard one of the men say that at
11.13 o'clock, fifteen minutes before the
Titanic struck, he had reported to First
Officer M urdock that he fancied he saw
Iceberg." said Wlilteley. 'Twice af
ter that the lookout said he warned Sir.
Murdnck that the berg waa ahead. I
can't remember their exact words, but
they were Indiinant that no attention
was paid lo their warnlnga. One of
them said: 'No wonder that Mr. Mur
dock shot himself.' "

Whlteley, In telling -of various experi

first boata lowered the only passengers
aboard were a man whom he wa told

had promised to pay well If they would

Whlteley. "I beard It but have forgotten
