That the greatest catastrophe In maritime history ha* occurred to a vaaBti at

The liner Carpathla, the first vcsa: to come within sight of the Titanic r**cued all the TlUnic's lifeboats, in which were (70 persons, most of them W1*a*eB
and children. Many women and children, however, have perished.
When the Carpathia reached the Ill-fated vessel no sign of life wae to ba eaeo
anywhere, the mountainous ocean swells giving mute evidence to the ttaawdBM
disaster.
Early reports Mated that all the passengers and the aw of the Tltaal* te6
been taken off by the Allan liners Virginian and the Parisian, and the Caraatnta,
but wireless messages received here to-night discredit thca reports in evwr
detail.
That the sinklnc. "f the Titanic was witnessed from the bridge of the Carpathla,
which was leading the Parisian and the V i t s i n i a n to the rescue, la believed her*
to-night. That the vessel was seen through the classes of the, Carpathla's captain to be afloat is regarded aa the aouree .if theye early encouraging reports.

HEN THE SENATE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE resumed its sessions

in Washington to-day several ugly facts concerning the sinking of the Titanic
glared forth from the mass of evidence already obtained in the three days that
have elapsed since the first of the ship's survivors arrived in New York.
The events in their order as given below are believed to constitute a damaging
moral indictment against the officers of the International Merchant Marine and its
managing director, J. Bruce Ismay.
These are the facts that stand forth prominently
The ship was making twenty-five miles an hour. This speed was being maintained
despite repeated warnings from other ships of the presence of icebergs and two warnings from the ship's crow's nest that icebergs had been sighted.
The Titanic struck the iceberg at 11:45 o'clock and sank three hours later. The
next day reports were received that the collision had occurred and that the ship was
sinking. Later in the day the report was given out that the passengers were all safe
and that ihe ship was being brought into Halifax.
All this time that the news of the disaster was being withheld, J. Bruce Ismay, on
board the Carpathia, was in constant touch with the While Star officers and was planning to tranship the officers and crew rescued from the Titanic as soon as they arrived
and before an investigation could be made.
Almost as startling as the facts which have been cited is the statement issued by
Ismay himself in which he puts the entire blame for the catastrophe upon Captain
Smith:
He admits that the Captain notified him of the presence of icebergs, but declares
that hi was merely a passenger and would riot have in any event attempted to tell the
Captain what to >\lo.

Him Tragic Information.
Washington, April 22."We are not going to have any star
chamber proceedings. The country has a right to know the truth
ahout this terrible disaster and we are going to ascertain the truth
if we poss:.bly can.''
This statement made by Senator William Alden Smith of Michian, chairman of the Senate committee investigating the Titanic
calamity, showed to-day that the investigation would he the most
drastic evisr conducted by a body of American legislators.
When the Senate committee resumed its labors here to-il*y, It
was with the intention of bringing light to barrupon thse points:
1Why was tho high speed of the liner continued despite" th^
warnings &f the great-fields of ice?
2Why did the White Star line announce the safety of fill passengers last Monday and that the vessel was being towed to H'alifax,
when a vessel of its own line had received earlier in the day absolute
information that the Titanic had sunk?
3Why were the details of the disaster "bottled up" while the
Carpathia was coming to New York? Was it for the purpose of
securing large compensation to certain employes of the Marconi
company for their stories of the disaster?
