LONDON, May 7.—The apathy of the British public, which has been one of ‘the features thus far of the Board of Trade inquiry into the Titanic dis aster, was again demonstrated by the thin attendance when the Commission- ers, under the Presidency of Lord Mersey, resumed their investigation to- day. Several members of Parliament and attorneys applied to Lord M Permitted to represent the engineers’ Union and certain of the passengers of the Titantc. Lord Mersey acquiesced, in some of the applications but refused others on the ground that the presence of too many counsel threatened to in-) Volve the inquiry in inextrioable con-) fusion, ‘The firat witness called to-day was George Beauchamp, fireman of the nic, who testified: “I did not know which was my boat station. I heard that @ Ust had been put up that morn- ing but I did not eee it. None had been put up before.” Lord Mersey asked: “When aia you look. for 1t?" Beauchamp replied: ‘It may have Veen on the second day out.” Con- iimuing his narrative, he sald: “I did not know where to g0, so I went up to the boat deck and to lifeboat No. 13) om tne starboard side, where I helped; put an the women and children. Thore was an officer there, and when the lifo- voat was full he gave the order, ‘There ‘are enough in that boat. Lower away.’ Z heard two or three ladies say “Z will not go.” Some of the men passengers then got in, I ovald wet nthe ow many, but there were be- tween sixty and seveaty in all in the boat. Beauchamp said there was no light, eompasa, provisions or water in the oat. Everyone looked for them. ‘We testified that he had no boat | Grltl om the Wiesale not bad De cock Ze had been ten years at sen bay ‘om most of the liners om which ‘he had been engaged there was o weekly boat rill, On the liner Sew Tork boat Grill wae held on @undays. Beuucnamp made the statement that @ stoker took charge on boat No. 12. ‘s Scanian, emer of Parllument for North Sligo, counsel for the Sea- men's and Firemen's Union, asked Beauchamp, “Have you ever before known of a stoker being , Dlaced in charge of a liner's lifeboat?” ‘Lord Mersey announced that the quos- | tion was not relevant. ‘Mr. Scanian protestet: “But I wanted to show that under ordinary circum ker would not be in charge ere not ordinary ciroum- etances,” Lord Mersey announced. “They had to do the best they could.” Quartermaster Robert Hinchens, Gell duty on the bridge of the Titanic at 8 o'clock, said he heard Second Officer Lightoller telephone an order to the men tm the crow's nest to keep sharp lookout | fee and growlers. wGuestioned by Sir Rufus Isaacs, Hich- ens ‘testified that the logbook showed the speed of the Titanic to have ben 45 knots in two hours and that there was no change up to the time the Titanic struck the iceber, 11.40, that he had never assigned to any boat on been definitely: the Titanic, but had understood the two quartermasters on auty were to take charge of the two emergency boats. He continued: “I was not told off for either that I am aware of. Neither did I see any late of the men's stations for the Boats, The usual thing ts to have a Met of fire stations and boat stations a up where every one can see It. other vessel t was ever on had muster and boat drill, I never saw any on the Titanic.” While Hichens was attempting to get off a collapaible boat an officer ordered him into a Hfeboat. This carried two men as crew and forty-five passengers, all of whom were women except Major Peuchen and @ boy. He eaid the boat should have been manned with not less an fve cenit five seamen in caim weather, WSites8C “ Everythioz > at 125.00 Necessary to Start 175.00 « Rowpuee” } 225.00 , AWE P\>IRTICHT AND RAILROAD FARE norma net tier a a a ” ——— . - — r _THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, MAY 7, 1912. ———— OOOO OeeE——l eS isa constant companion and incentive = = = i ¥ I MB ry i iS *° “Gimbel Brothers, Bankers COMPLETE STORES waveen putas ta ely N 2 ip OT A BARG (Rear Balcony, , T Al te ait to baye sal ier to call vee regular stocks of mee H E GIM B EL STORE ONLY, OT a presenting und re | ings in Nome & the 1 i" ff sections, _SUBWAY_STORE BEGINNING TOMORROW---Our Semi-Annual Sale of PLAYER-PIANOS and PIAN Os At Lower Prices i Than Ever Before ri ir Lower prices than we can seem in all proba- bility, until our next half-year!
