Captain Rostron Warmly Praised CARPATHIA COMMANDER TO BE OFFICIALLY THANKED THE TITANIC INQUIRY Senate Com ee’s Report Will Con- demn White Star Line Officials and Captain and Crew of Sunken Liner. Washington, May 23—The report by the senate committee on commerce on the investigation of the Titanic disas- ter ,embodying a severe condemnation of the conditions under which the giant vessel was allowed to steam into her fate among the icebergs off the New- foundland Banks and recommending remedial legislation, will be presented to the senate tomorrow. Report Makes Considerable Criticism. All day the committee discussed the conclusions submitted by the sub-com- mittee, which took the testimony in the case, unanimously adopted its report. The report will im ail probabili criticize_the Titanic’s commander and crew fof the way in which the vessel was navigated just preceding the col- | lision with the iceberg and.the lack of | discipline displayed afterwards; tI way in which White Star Line official handled the news and the lack of life- boats and other equipment. Praise For Captain Rostron. The Carpathia’s commander, Captain | Rostron, who went to the rescue of the Titanic, will be warmly praised, it is believed. The report will be follow Senator Alden Emith, chairman of the sub-committee to carry out the conclusions of the committee. Among the reforms contemplated are an in- hibition against firing rocket signals | at sea except in case of distress, the equipment of all ocean craft of a cer- tain amount of passenger carrying ca pacity wit hample lifeboats and other equipment, furnishing searchlights to ocean vessels ,the compulsory use of binoculars by ‘lookouts ,the constant maintenance of wireless telegraph | communication on all passenger ves- sels crossing the ocean and other steps | that may be effective in the way of reforms either through legislation by congress or by international agreement regarding ocean travel. Resolution of Thanks to Rostron. It is possible that a resolution of thanks will be introduced in recogni- tion of the work of Captain Rostron in rescuing so many Americans. As a result of lessons drawn from the Ti- tanic disaster, Secretary Nagel has undertaken to strengthen the life sav- | ing features of American navigation | regulations as far as this can be ac- compiished by administrative acts, Navigation Regulations Revised. The regulations governing lifeboat equipment on trans-oceanic vessels of Amerlcan register have been changed from tonnage to a passenger basls, 5o that every person aboard—passenger and crew—would be provided with life boat space in case of emergency. The rules controlling coastwise craft, while still based on tonnage, | have been amended so that the life- | boat capacity will be increased fifty | per cent. To Distinguish Between Ocean Coastwise. | Secretary Nagel, Inspector-General | Uhler and a number of supervising in- | spectors of the steamboat service, held | a long conference today to draft reg- o line between ocean and coastwise vessels.
