Evidence that the White Star officials offi-cials haye. not been square vith the senate investigating committee, nor honest, with the American people, is in the po.s-ietsion of the, chairman, William Alden Smith of the committee and will be civoij to the public before the end of next. week. It will be proved that at R o'clock Monday morning, a radiogram an-DOUncing an-DOUncing that the Titanic had gone down with all on board that had not been taken oft' in lifeboats, was de Iivered to the White fctar lino office in New York hv the Western Union Telegraph company, which received it directly from the Marconi company This radiogram was nddressed ''Isle-frank," ''Isle-frank," a code cable address that could have been known to only one man at the acene of the disaster J. Bruce Ismay, who was at that hour safe In the surgeon's stateroom of the (.'arpathia. Tf it came from any other source it was from the Olympic, which would have made it equally official. Vet, despite this fact, which has been in the possession of Senator Smith for several days, Vice President Franklin has repeatodlv said under oath that his first official knowledge of the sinking of the Titanic came after 6 o'clock Mondav evening. This statement state-ment he repeated when he was called to the stand yesterday. He admitted having notified his office that the Titanic had sunk, but he distinctly stated in his cable that it was based on rumors, and with this telegram in the White Star office, word wag later permitted to go forth that tho vessel W8G Bafe, and b dispatch pigned "White Star line" was sent to Representative Hughes of West Virginia announcing that the vessel was being towed into Halifax. Information Is Given. When Senator Smith was informed pf the existence of this radiogram, he immediately secret ser ice men to work to find it. They located the man who had made the copy of the radiogram In the interest of the United states government he gave the agents all the information in his pos-session. pos-session. Witnesses to prove this will be put on the stand the coming week. Mr. Pranklin ill be recalled. Tf he can explain the discrepancy between his statement and the facts that have been disclosed, he will be given an opportunity to do so. The fact that the radiogram was addressed ad-dressed to " Tslefrank " is, of course, particularly significant. "Islefrauk," up to this time, haB been a registered secret cable address. It might have been known to the captain of the Olympic, hut cen ho would have made n. oi f i.-Vn t.i, , ..W VJlii'-.lH IIIIIV1M m J. if he, had not received an absolute verification ver-ification of tho Titanic 's finking.

When Mr. Franklin -was called to the stand today he was asked specifically if there had been any effort, to reinsure rein-sure the Titanic between the receipt of tho first rumors of her founderiug and the hour of p. in., al about which time the full knowledge of the disaster as at hand. Makes Denial. He replied emphatically that there was not. He Maid that all insurance matters were attended to in the New York office and that, no insurance could have been written without his knowledge knowl-edge and consent. Mr. Franklin betrayed no Irritation at the question but he was extremely emphatic in answering it in tho negative. nega-tive. ; iii his testimony Cabin Steward i rawford told of the heroism and inst minutes of Mr. and Mrs. fsadoi Strati. :'l went to my station at No. 8 boat." said Crawford.

Senator smith tried lo discover Just exactly where Captain Smith of the Titanic and J. Bract Ismay were ou (lie night, of the disaster. For that reason rea-son he took up some of the stewards who, serve as waiters and made inquiries in-quiries aa to whether they served Captain Cap-tain Smith or Mr. Ismay on Sunday night, lie did not bring' out any def" inite results today. Butt's Last Dinner. The first indirect information regarding re-garding Major Archibald W. Butt, the military aid of President Taft, came out this afternoon. It became apparent that he was attending a dinner party given by the Wideners. Frederick Kay, the waiter who 6erved the table at which Major Butt, Clarence Moore and Frank D. Millet., the artist, took their meals, wns on the stajid. He was told by Mrs. Moore after reaching hers that Major Butt wns dining with the Wideners. Mr. Moore aud lr. Millet dined together Sunday night. It was also stated by Mr. Ray that four lifeboats on the "starboard were lowered to deck A and loaded there. No notice was given that this would be done and many passengers who might have embarked in them were thus left to their fate. It transpired today that TOuis Klein, the Hungarian seaman who told a lurid story ol intoxication and debauchery on the Titanic before the collision was not carried on the ship's list or enumerated among tho survivors. S'ec-ond S'ec-ond Officer Lightoller testified that the only Klein ou boazd was an assistant as-sistant barber and he had perished. |
