Harder Says Crew Were Unable to Move Bolt on Plate of Watertight Compartment—Bogus Survivors. New York, May 3.—The efforts by Senator William Alden Smith, {chair- man of the senate committee investi- gating the Titanic disaster, to confirm the report that a message telling of the Titanic's fate was received in New York early Monday morning have thus far proved fruitless after two days of examination of witnesses here. Mystery of a Messag “What concerns me most,” said Mr. Smith tonight, “is the Postal telegram given to the operator on the Carpathia early Monday morning addressed to Islefrank and signed Yamsi which told of the sinking of the vessel and of the serious loss of life. “I am most desirous of knowing where that message was the following two days and why it was held up. Mr. Franklin says he didn’t receive it till Wednesday. The Californian, which was in easy reach of the Carpathia, could have gent it, and the Carpathia’s operator, Cottam, testifiad that he did send it.” Blames Operator Cottam. Jack Binns, wireless operator on the ili-fated steamer Republic, called to testify today about the wireless equip- ruent of the vessels in the vicinity the Titanic, said that the responsibil ty for lack of news rested with Op- erator Cottam. While the Carpathia’s cquipment could send a message only 200 miles, -he said, she was in touch with the Californian, and the Califor- nian could have relayed the news to the Olympie, which could have sent it ashore. Associated Press Manager Testifies. Melville E. Stone, general manager of The Associated Press, was called to testify concerning the efforts by Tie Associated Press to obtain news. MMr, Stone presented documentary records showing the source of the various news despatches concerning the disas- ter which The Associated Press sent out. Crew Couldn’t Turn Bolts. George A. Harder of Brooklyn, who with his wife s one of those saved from the Titanic, testified relative to the apparent fajlure of the mechanism of the ship’s watertight compartments. Harder said that when he 4vent down to his stateroom to get lifebelts he saw 1 or five members of the crew on deck on the starboard side with wrenches in their hands, one of whom was trying to turn a bolt in a plate in the floor marked “W. T. C.,” which Harder gaid he assumed meant water- tight compartment. The witn.ss said he heard one of the men say: “It's no v This one won't work. Let's try another.” No Room to Spare in Lifeboat.

On the night of the collision with the feeberz, Euckley continued, he had been eep in his room in the steerage quarters aft. With the three other men who slej roor with him, Buckley was awakened shortly before midnight by What he described i “Presently,” he w gnr- by and they were y on deck, if vou don’t want to he drowned. So we all got up quickly and dressed and went upstairs. “There I met a first cabin passenger who nad two life preservers He gave me one and fasiened it on me. “Just about thie time ther was a rush for a lifebort that was being lowered, and 1 joined it, and we all tried to get in.” “What sort of people were with ¥ou?" inquired Senator Smith, “There were 20 or 30 passenzers, all classes, T should say, and some fire- men and stewards.” “Were there any women left on ceck?” Yes, there were some. The offcers orderel us out, and when we didn't go one of them shot his revolver over us six times. Then they threw us out, until there were oniy six men left, and the women began to cllmb in, mostly #tecrage passengers.” “What did you do?" “T was crying,” answered Buckiey. *A woman—I think it was Mrs. Astor —=saw me and she put her shawl fround me, threw jt over me, and told me to keep quiet. I did so, and we had scarcely pulled away when the Titanic sank. T don’t think it was more than 15 minutes Jater.

A fireman in my boat said that she hadn't heen sunk by ice at all. _He said that they had been trying to niake a record with her, and her boilers had burst.” Buckley delivered the first part of this t-stimony swithout a trace of or emotion. His evidence cor- roborates that of Lo'we, one of the Ti- tanic’s surviving. officers, who told at the inquiry in Washington of a man in his boat, No. 6, had worn women's clothes, and refused to row. ‘Did it seem to you that the steer- age passengers had as much chance to be sayed as the first aud second class passeagers?” the senator asked next. “Yes, they had just as much chance,” replied Buckley. ‘After a while all the classes were mixed. But at first, just after the boat struck, we were not allowed to leave our quarters and go K. ou back?” demanded pt Senator Smith. “I think they were sailors,” returned Buckley. “There is a little gate at the top of the ladder that runs from the steerage to the upper decks, and we were not allowed to pass it. Finaily one of our beys tried to force his way through and the er there threw him down the ladder and locked the gate. Then we got mad, and we climbed up the ladder and broke through the gate and after that we went wherever we pleasad.” BOGUS “SURVIVORS” Appear at White Star Line Office and Ask for Aid.
