The letter was suggested bv the Titanic disaster, but Mr. Miller urges legislation to control the train schedules as well. He says: no scarcely picks up a newspaper wlth reading of some railroad accident by this mania. It is entlrelv com? petent and in my opinion it is the duly of congress to legislate in such a as to nut a Step to the unnecessary and unrea? sonably iilvth rates of Speed, which can not and will not be done by any of the great corporations themselves. It is ordinarily more Important that traveller? should know the time of their arrival than that a few hours be saved, and It is a matter of com? mon knowledge that voy large per? centage of the fast trains can not maintain iheii schedules.

he thought these boys should enjoy same opportunity. declared he particularly anxious that the public should have the details of the disaster is promptly as possible. Mr. Marconi admitted that it would nave been better if a short story of the catastrophe had been sent to the Mar? oni company for general distribution. He conceded that permission granted the nperator? to sell their information miRlu tend to the suppression of news, ajid said he would discourage the practice In the future.

He also, in reply to ques? tions put by Senator Fletcher, gave a brief and interesting outline of the con? trol of wireless exercised by the British government. Talked with the Mount Templa. Harold T. Cottam. wireless operator on the t'arpathia.

said he had been in com? munication with the Mount Temple dur? ing the Sunday evening before the sink? ing or the Titanic, and that about p. m. he got "good night" from the op? erator on that ship, which he under? stood to mean that the operator was goinf? to bed. He said he had received more than one request from the scotfl cruiser Salem asking for a list of the survivors, and some time after their re? ceipt the captain of the t'arpathia had replied, saying he had sent the lists of tho first and second class survivors to Shore and offering to send the list of third class passengers. Some time later, he said, he had sent off this list.

He could remember nothing regarding a message asking Information for the President of the I'nited No Money as Yet for Hia Story. C'ottam said that, pursuant to messages received from Sammis. he iwent to the Strand Hotel, in New York. and there waited for- Mr. Marconi, but did not meet him.

He did meet re porter from a New York paper, who him he had permission from Mr. Marc get his story. He was not with this, however, but got Into CO montcatlon with Mr. Marconi by te phone and received permission to his story which he did. He said he stipulated no price, and none had be mentioned.

Mr.

Smit tried in vain impress upon Cottat the iniquity of auch a course, devotin almost an hour to the effort, but ap without eucccss, Cottam sal that Bride was trying to communicat I with the Olympic, and insisted that th interruption of the Pranfurt's operato was unwarranted and senseless. Replying to a question by Senatoi I Newlands, Cottam said he had mon than he could do sending off message pursuant lo the orders of the captain and could not have sent any news re? garding the disaster if he would. So great waa the pressure to get off and to receive messages that he and Bride to? gether, using the instrument continu? ously after the Titatii-'s v. ere taken aboard, were unalde to dispose of all of them before the docked.

Mr. Marconi said he learned between ano 8 o'clock Monday evening. April that the Titanic had sunk. His secretary had informed him. He learned on Tuesday evening about the rescue made by the Car pathia.

"I asked for further said the witness, "and was told by my operator that it would probably be Impossible, be? cause the Carpathla would be extremely busy with the messages of the captain and the passengers aboard." He made no further attempt to reach ihe Carpathla, he said, because he did not caro to exercise his authority to interfere with the operation of the wtrotSM When the Carpathia docked in New York." Mr. Marconi continued. "I went di? rectly to til? wireless room and congratu? lated Bride, the Tltanic's operator, on what he had done. Cottam, the Carpathian operator, was not there. He called me later on the telephone and asked m.

whether he might give out a report of tho wreck. I told him might do so, under the circumstances." Mr. Marconi added that there was an ironclad rule in his company? regulations prohibiting operators from acting as re? porters. He said that under the British it was a penal offence for an operator to aend out any information on his own initiative. This, he said, probably was tho reason why no reports of the disaster were forthcoming from tho Carpathla on her way to New York after rescuing the Ti? tanic'1 survivors.

Not In the memory Of man has Halifax presented such a saddening spectacle of grieving people, hungering for tidings from off the water? front. When the revised list of the dead was received by wireless it was scanned with hurried tear-dimmed eyes, by men and women in hotel corridors, on the streets, in every place where people gather.

WIE SPEEDS TOWASHINGTON (ontlnued from tlrst This is preparatory to the investigation which will be held by the British thoritlea, who require attendance of all possible witnesses.

Two members of the Mount Temple's crew, the carpenter and the boatswain, are credited with indorsing what has been said by passengers. These men would not talk to reporters, but Police OfTicer Lee, on duty at Sand Point, de? clares they repeated to him last night statements similar to those made by other members of the crew, to the effect that they could see for a long time the Titanios signals, and that certainly the officers a higher deck must have been able to see the same signals. While Paon and others like them are very positivo In their declarations, and un? hesitatingly discuss the affair with shore acquaintances, their reticence about making public statements loads to the belief that they may not be wholly re? liable. One of the officers of the Mount Temple, endeavoring to explain charge? made against that steamer, states that there was only one man aboard who could be suggested as responsible for the. charges.

The man thus referred to Is Dr. QuiUrau, who, indeed, was the llrst to make the statements. Dr. Quitaran was a steerage passenger who, because of the crowded condition of the steerage, was accommodated with quarters in the second cabin. The officer in question states that the doctor was found on the saloon deck during the voyage, was asked what i lass of ticket he carried, and on replying that his ticket was steerage, was ordered from that deck.

He Is now charged by this officer with showing his spite by making untrue Charge? against the ship. Operator Noted the Time. Durrani. Marconi wMsMag operator on the steamer Mount Temple, said to? night that it was p. m.

By this means they have correctly reached the conclusion that the Saturnia passed within very few miles of where the Titanic went down. But she passed that point days before the wreck oc? curred, and at midnight on Sunday was four hundred, miles to the westward.

A formal statement to this effect was to? night Issued by the Robert Roford Com? pany, agents for the Donaldson Line. Stratheona. Alberta, April W. Zu? rich, who crossed from Antwerp to St. John, K.

on Pacific Hall? way steamer Mount Temple, made a state? ment here to-day concerning what was ob? served from the Mount Temple at sea on tho night the Titanic went down.

Captain Moore at once headed for the Ti? tanic, lifeboats being swung from davits and other preparations being made. The new course was not held long, how? ever, says Mr.

Zurich, because a great field of 1st loomed tip ahead. It was among crew and passengers, according Mr. Zurich, that captain Moore made no further efforts to penetrate the floes, as? serting that he could not afford to take the risk of endangering the lives on hoard Ms ship. The statement of Dr. Qultzrau to the effect that passengers and crew believed they could see the lights of the unfortunate Titanio Is borne out by Mr.

Zurich. With two companion passengers, hn the captain's orders, which forbade passen gers ascending to the upper deck at any time. He is fairly positive that they saw the masts of the Titanic, and he says he Is not ready to accept the assertion that their ship was at least forty miles from tho wrecked liner at the time. At any rate, he thinks the Mount Temple might have reached the spot before the Titanic sank, and this supposition, he says, seems to have been entertained by others on board. Mr.

Zurich says also that the Mount Temple sighted immense fields of Ice dur? ing and Monday. PICKS UP 1 Cable Ship's Revised List Con tains Name of Butt."
