A compro mia tariff plan designed to graduate re ductions of duties designed "to avoid I m paring any American industry," was offered today by Senator Newlands as an amendment to the house steel bill. It proposed a 1 per cent reduction , January 1 from certain duties and a fur ther reduction of S per cent on January 1 of each year for four years thereafter until the total reduction of JG per cent shall have been made. A nonpartisan tariff commission of five members ap pointed by the president would determine to what products reductions should apply. L Senator Newlands said today that his purpose was not to endorse the protec tion principle, but to recognise that pro tective duties had stimulated Industries which must suffer by any radical change. Senator Newlands pointed out that both parties had promised a revision of the tariff and his purpose, he said, was to provide a graduated reduction with a brake, so applied as to prevent excessive Importations asd consequent labor dis turbances.

BLAME IS PLACED ON DEADCAPTAIN William Alden Smith Addresses Sen ate oo Report Filed on the Titanic Disaster. iLORD SHAKES RESPONSIBILITY Captain of Californian Censured for Not Answering' Signals. EE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED Under British Law He is Guilt; of Misdemeanor. BOARD OF TRADE IS CENSURED Vessel Waa Mot Prwperly Inspected, Crew Si Properly Drilled aad Inspection Lax-y-Owarr Held Bark !ewe. WASHINGTON. May JS.-Th Titan!" dlssater of April u I which 1.511 souls went down amid Icebergs off the banks of New Founland, waa the theme of speech, report .and proposed legislation in the senate today. Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan submitted the report of the Investigation by the senate commerce committee a feature of which was the condemnation of the captain of the steamer Californian for not going to the aid of the sinking vessel; delivered a speech In which he personally took much stronger ground In rvetwlng the disaster and Introduced measures designed to safeguard life In ocean traffic One of the most Important recommenda tions was fur stricter Inspection rf vessels by the federal steamboat Inspec tion service and the meeting of all re qulrements of American navigation laws by every vessel clearing from an Ameri can port. It was one of th notable day of the present session of congress. Almost all of th senators were in their sests and gave close attention. Th galleries wars crowded. The senate passed a Joint resolution extending the thanks of congress and ap propriating 11,000 for a medal to Captain Arthur H. Rostron of th Carpathta, and also a vote of lhanka lo th Car pathian crew. Ths resolution wss Introduced by Sena tor Smith at the conclusion of his speech It was adopted Immediately without re ference to a committee. Senator Rsyner of Maryland followed with a speech arraigning American navi gation laws and drawing lessons from th accident Kens lor Smith's speech. Blame for th Tltsnfe disaster Is charge abl Irectly to the failure of th dead Captain Smith to heed repeated warn ings of Icebergs ahead, but responsibility tor unnecessary loss of II ts must be shared by Cap til Lord of th steamlh'p Callfornren, -through his disregard of dlaatress signals. This la the finding of th senat committee which Investigated the sinking of the Titanic, as preparej In a comprehensive speech delivered br William Aldrn Kmlth chairman of the committee. Senator Smith declared '.hat responsi bility also rests upon th British Board of Trade, "to whoa laxity of regulation. and hasty Inspection, th world Is Isrgely Indebted for th swful fatality." In de nouncing Captain Lord of th Californian th senator said the Titanic a distress signal war plainly seen from the at ... of his vessel a abort distance away. America will leave to England th chastisement of those guilty, asserted th senator, and he quoted British las? show that Captain Lord might be prose cuted for a misdemeanor. Other conclusions presented, in brief, were a follows: Before ths Titanic t parted on Its mslden voyage there were no sufficient tests of boilers, bulkhesds, equipment or signal devices. Officers and crew were strangers to each other and not familiar with th ship Implement or tools, and no drill or station practice took place and no helpful discipline prevailed. Th speed of th Titanic was twenty four and one-half miles an hour at th time of th sccldent. although officers of the Titanic had been advised of the pres ence or icebergs by the steamships Baltic, Amerika and Californian. Passengers were not advised of danger, although President Isinay of the W.il'c Stsr line, who was taking the vessel's maiden voyage a as Informed. No general alarm was given nor any organised sys tem of safe;y undertski-n. of the l.M psssent'rs and tt members of crew on boerd. th e was room In the lifeboats for only urn perrons, and be cause of la'k of orderly discipline the boats took off on'JI 784 perapns, twelve being rescued from th water InfomsalKiis Is Withheld.
