or withdraw Its interpretation of the

Victims. The bodies of tho identified,
dead will first bo brought ashore andi
conveyed to the rooms ol local under-1

log to tile homes of their relntlvcs. The
unidentified dead will bo next looked
after, and will be taken to tho May
Mower curling rink, where a force of
thirty emba liners will bo in attend?
ance in order that the.c may he no
delay with the work. After the bodies
have been properly prepnrcd. persons
looking for friends >r relativen will
be admitted In order that they mlglu
seek for loved ones lost In the dis?

As the Mackay-BengMt onlv cart led I

and the repre-entallvei of the. press
will be admitted to the deck.
In order that an many bodies as pos.
alble may be prepared for burial helorc
the Mackay-Bennett reaches Halifax,
1: was suggested to-nlcht that about
twenty cmbalmcra he sent out on a]
spcc'al boat to meet tho death ship.
The matter was taken up with tho
White Star officials, who viewed ill
with favor and Bent a wireless to
Captain l>ar<inor, asking how many
additional tn?n h? could accommodate.
There Is now here a staff of thirty- I
four ombalmers an,) twenty-five as?
sistants, who could he sent out to
meet the Mackny-Bennett.
If Captain Dardner can accommo?
date these men they will leave Hall
fax In the morning on tho steamer
Seal, The two ships would met about
fourteen hours from Halifax, which
would give thorn ample llmo to pre
pare practically every body for burial.
This would eliminate any oclay after
reaching port. It would mean that
upon the arrival of the MaCkny-Ben-i
nett the bodies already identified would
he ready for the forwarding to the
homes of their rcltalvcs.
A wireless received from the

mer. In determining to wear a bathing
costume of the American colors In her

scribed as scarcely more than seven?
teen venra of age, full of daring, and
the most graceful swimmer In the
world. Accordingly, ho nBked that a
torpedo boat or destroyer or two or
a sinal'. battleship be assigned to ar
company her. English arvj French
manufacturers had tendered the use of
palatial yachts, expecting advertising,
'but tun patriotic young American
woman would have none of It." It Is

mnn-o-war. with the Stars and Stripes
floating over it." Miss I'ltom'f pro

Washington. April Z~_Having
wrested but a meagre part of tho
Titanic's dread secrets front the ocean
depths in etKhl days' constant Inquiry*
tho Senate Investigating committee
adjourned to-night until Monday,
Then tho powerful Federal search?
light v?ill be turned anew Into tho
watery wastes, the Bcpulchre of tho
ocean t'tan and its 1.6S0 victims.
Ten day.t or two weeks more ofi
continuous sessions, Senator Smith
said to-night, may not finish tho In?
quiry. l"vcn after that an occasional
witness may be called, before tho of-,
fleial report is prepared.
To-day's hearing was replete with
dramactlc and Important testimony,
closing with tho simple diffident
Stories of the seamen?stories that
gained in their dramatic intensity be
cause of tho very crudity and direct?
ness of their telling. They told of
music, gay dinner parties, happiness
and laughter on that peaceful Sab

(hey shifted, ?villi hushed voices, to

' list. Mazed their tale deep into the
heart*, of their hearers.
Wireless "Lo(j'> Produced.
The. sillors' testimony followed tha
Wireless record of the Tltanfc's death,
from Captain James 11. Moore, of tho
steamer Mount Temple. Tho last
words of the Titanic Mashed through
space to many ships were told in de?
tail from tho wireless "log." Cap?
tain Moore also told how he was only
nineteen miles away, approached
within fourteen miles and was then
barricaded behind mountains of ice.
To-night Senator Smith refused to
release the thlrty-flVo ofliecrs and
crew of the Titanic. IIa ordered them
to remain here at least until Monday
or Tuesday. They were bitterly dis?
appointed, all having testliled.
Vice-President Franklin, of thai
White Star Line, left lor New York
this afternoon, but will return Mon?
day. J. Bruce Ismay will remain. Next
week some of the Tltanio'a passengers
will bo heard for '.lie I'.rst time. Some
have been waiting here for days.
To-night Senator Sio'tb was tele*
graphed that Harold Br de, tho wire

Manager Botiomlcy, of the Marconi
Company, who ?as asked to come heral
Monday, begged off until later.
From Samniis, Senator Smith pro?
poses to ascertain details of the al-?
leged "blood money" enacted for the
story of the Titanic tragedy from.
Operators Bride and Cottam, tho lat?
ter of the rescue ship Carpathla. Cot
t.un admitted that lie expected to gett
$500 for his story, told to a New Yorlc
newspaper.
Hints ni Sensation.
Next weck. Senator Si-ith also plana
to unravel the skein of mystery re?
garding the alleged denial to a grief,,
erased public of the news of the Tl
tanio's sinking. He hinted at a fu?
ture sensation to-day In his examine*
tion of vice-President Franklin, of tho
White Star Line, when If asked If any
of tlie steamship company's officers or
agents had applied for additional In?
surance upon the Titan, a few hours
before tlie terrible new* of Its ds
St met Ion.
The Inquiry also piomtscs to dlsJ
pose of the tale thai Captain Smith
attonded a "millionaire pare.'" a gay
and festive occasion, lust before the
Titanic rammed its oceitn victor.
Senator Smith stated to-night that
he had practloally abandoned thought
of bringing Mrs. John Jacob Astor
here to testify, respecting he;- renew?
ed burden of grief in the recovery of
her millionaire husbands bod.- by tho

Many new laws, governing wireless
operators, navigation and l:fc-savlng
devices are certain to follow tho In?
quiry.
To-nlght?neady two weeks after
the Titanic struck its floating death
monument?a . nation stmid.s dumb?
founded at the revelations of the
committee. It lias been learned that
the Titanic sped headlong, at tho rata
of from twenty-one lo twenty-tires)
knots an hour, through a vast field
of crunching Ico. apparently heedless
of warnings. Qth*; testimony indl
cates that many vessels were within
a few miles of the sinking liner, but
their wireless operators were asleep
or ignored the C. Q. 1?. appeals," Tie*
rockets, too, were seen and also
Ignored. '
News Suppressed.
Another gruesome indictment Is that
against the White Star Line of aup
presslng the news. Vice-president
Franklin admitted that lie heard tho
rumor of the disaster over slxtee.o
hours and received confirmation from
the steamer Olympic over si\ hours
