Senator Smith declared that the com
mand of the officer of the watch to avert
tha disaster actually exposed the moat
vulnerable part of -the Titanic to the lea
when the shock came. t
"Distracted by tha sudden appearance
of danger,", eald the speaker.' "be turned

all gat tha lifeboats were cleared away,
and although strangely hwkfflcteht In

til' lnetaaeea unprovided with compasses
and only three of them had lamps. They
were manned so badly that. In tha absence
of prompt relief, they would have fallea
asy victims to the advancing Ice floe,
nearly thirty miles In width and rising
sixteen feet above tha surface of the
water. Their danger would bava tjeen aa

exhausted people wtld have been help

"One wttneee- swore" that -two 'of the
three stewarda In her boat admitted that
they bad never had an oar In their hands

oarlock was for. .The lifeboats were filled
ao Indifferently, and lowered so gulckly
that, according to tha uncontradicted
evidence, nearly WS people were need
lessly sacrificed to want of orderly dia
elpllne In loading tha few that were pro
vided. " And yet It la said by soma well
meaning persons that the best of discip
line prevailed. If thla la dledpllne. what
would have been disorder?
"Among the paaaengera were many
strong men who had been aocnatomel to
command, whoso Uvea bad marked every
avenue of endeavor, and whoee business
experience and military training especi
ally fitted them for such an emergency.
These were redely ellenred and forbidden
to apeak, as waa tha president of this
company, by Junior officers, a few of
whom. I regret to aay, availed themselves
of tha first opportunity to leave tha ship.
Some of tha men. to whom had been la

quickly deserted the ship with a rack

Tributes aa tha valor of Phillips and
Bride, the wireless operators on tha Tl-
1 tanle, were paid by Senator Pmlth. He
j eald that tha final exit of tha Phfinpo
boy waa "not so swift as to prevent him
from pausing long enough to pass a cup

demned tha "reign of alleaeo" concerning

In condemning the failure of the CaU-
fornlaa to learn all about tha dlaaatar
before the Titanic sank, and go to Ha
rescue. Senator Smith said:
-The ateamahtp Callforntaa waa within
easy reach of thla ahlp for nearly four
hours after all tha facta were hswwa to

'The course taken waa singularly tn ac

Senator Smith reviewed the testimony
of Captain Lord, showing that tha CalK
fornlaa cam within four miles of the
doomed vessel and that ha went to bis
room, to lie down while signal rockets
were being fired.
"Jairure of Captain Lord ta arouse the
wireless operator on bis ship, "who easily
could have ascertained the nam of" the

to avert lose of life places a tremendous
responsibility upon this officer from which
