medlately altered course reach Titanic. but did not arrive at her position until 4:30 a whenhe could not see Titanic's lights. Saw no sign of ship or boats. Cruised around position until he received messages from the Carpathia, at 8:44 a. that she had pickectup boatloads and that the Titanic had sunk.

Received another message at 8:50 from theCarpathia no need to stand by as nothing more could be done. Under these circumstances It does not seem necesary to detain boat due to sail Friday evening. If considered necessary commission could be appointed to take captain's evidence. NVIII no doubt be examined later by British commission." In reply to this, Senator Smith sent the following: "I will greatly appreciate if deposition of captain of the vessel Mount Temple, which is scheduled to sail from St John, tomorrow, could be taken by commissioners, as suggested by you, and forwarded to me at Washington, relative to the movements of his ship on Sunday evening, April 14, stating relative positions to Titanic and Carpathia, together with a detailed report of wireless messages sent and received." The committee also received a telegram J. 11 Moore, master of the Mount Temple; A.

H. Sargent, chief officer; H. Heald, second officer, and J. Durrant, the Marconi operator. dated at West St John, today, practically repeating the informatiop contained in the Premier's message and adding that the Mount Temple did not see the 1 Titanic's lights.

CREW AGAINST CAPTAIN. One of the Mount Temple's Men Was Within Five or 10 Miles of ths Signaling Tlianic. ST BApril 24Marked, differences of opinion exist between' the officers and crew of the Canadian Pacific steamer Moat Temple in regard to what occurred- a week ago Sunday night when the Titanic foundered. In the first place. some members of the crew who are supposed to know more than their comrades are not inclined to tell all they know.

evidently believing that their officers are the ones to make whatever statement is necessary. But some few of them declare that the Mount Temple deliberately sailed away after reading the Titanic distress signals and did not attempt to render aesistance. Capt Moore. when questioned regarding the statement made before the Senate Committee in Washington that Dr Quitzman, one of his passengers, had seen the distress signals. gave out the following statement; "We received the wireless message at on Sunday night.

At that time we were west of the position given by the Titanic's Operator and immediately turned about. We received a short time afterward a second message giving the Titanic's position as 5o.14. whereas the first message had given it as 110.2e In any event we were at least So. miles from the sinking eteamar and between us was the Immense held of ice -I at once sent for my engineer and instrizeted iiim to keep up a. fell head of steam.

as it would be necessary for us to make all possible taste to the assistance of the disabled vessel. In the meantime I had our crew prepare the lifeboats. Same of these were made ready for launching, while others were merely loosed so that they could be niade ready on short notice. -Hopes were dropped from the sides and one of my officers went aloft, remaining there for some hours. We did not the lee field.

We did not know where to go. and I had 1500 passengers atestord. If there had been any definite information, or if we had linOVI the exact position of the Titanic it would have been different, but in the dark and with her position in doubt we might just as well not have been there at all. "At no time during the night, nor, indeed, during the whole incident, did I or any of my officers. so tar as I know.

see any signals. If we had done so, I would have taken every risk. even with my passengers. to render whatever asEistence was poseible. "Toward morning we got in touch with the Carpathia, but it was not until 8:30 o'clock that we were informed by that vessel that the Titanic had gone down and that there was no use in remaining longer about the scene of the wreck.

"Previous to this I had endeavored by hanging the course of the Mount Temple to sail around the south of the-ice field and approach the scene of the wreck from the eastward, as had been done by the Carpathia. That steamer when we sighted her first was on the east of the ice field, while we were on the west." The first officer of the Mount Temple adds to this Statement that on order of the captain he went aloft and remained in tht lookout for upward of three hours, but he says positively that In this time he never saw any signal of any kind. On the other hand. there are members of the crew who are outspoken in their condemnation of the failure of the Mount Temple to reach the scene of the wreck. As opposed to the statements given above sailors, firemen and others declare that they sat on deck for hours and watched the Titanic sending up rockets and burning red and blue lights until the Mount Temple steamed so far away that these signals were 'cad.

One of the eallors. who says he was on watch Sunday night, says that he heard third officer Notley tell the captain of the distress signals, and that instead of the steamer heading directly to the wreck she steamed away on her own course. so that the lights were soart lost. An oiler named Pickard, who was on duty at the time, declares that the second engineer catne below and asked the men to keep flee fired up to the limit, as It was a case of life or death. Another engine room hand adds that when his watch was over he went on deck and with a lot of others.

paseengers and crew. leaned over the rail and saw the almost steady etream of rockets being salt up by the Titanic. lie says he remained en deck until almost o'cloek watching until the signals were lost in the distance. Ms version of the affair Is that at the time of the accident the Mount Temple was only between Live and le miles from the scene. Second Officer Heal rays that if he wanted to talk he could tell a lot.

whatever that means. but it is not his business to talk and if any one wants information to go to the captain. Third Officer Notley. who was the officer of the watch when the wireless messages were receilved. could not be found.

The statements of the Crew agree with those of Capt Moore in so far as the reports of preparing the lifeboats. etc, are concerned. Capt Moore has been besieged with Inquiries. telegraphic and otherwise, the Mount Temple docked. HARVARD STUDENTS SPEAK.
