Philadelphia. Feb. 13. Captain Ed
ward E. Johnson, commander of the
Old Dominion liner Monroe tunk in
collision with the Merchants & Miners'
Steamship Nantucket, again took the
witness stand today m the trial of
Captain Osmyn Berry ot the IJantucket
who is charged with negligenc2. The
master of the Monroe has Leen on the
stand two days during which ne has
gone over the derails of ihe accident
in which .11 persons lost theif lives.
Much of the time of the inquiry is be
ing taken up in an effort to learn les
sons from the disaster with the of
drawing amendments to present regu
lations that will assist in preventing
similar accidents.
So far Captain Johnson has made no
criticism of the- conduct of Captain
Berry but has commended him for the
efforts he made to rescue passengers
and members of the Monroe's crew.
One of the mysteries of the disaster.
Captain Johnson said, was win- the
Monroe sank by the stem when the
hole was forward. The only way he
could account for this he said was that
the water probably ran to the stern
Captain Johnson wanted to impress
upon the board of inspectors that th
list of tbe Monore was so great that
it was impossible to walk on the decks
to get to the port side of the vessel
to launch boat
The board complimented Captain
Johnson for the "manly manner" in
which he had answered their ques
tiens for two aud a hah. days
Under cross-xamiaation by counsel
for Captain Berry, the witness said he
did not regard the Monroe as

E. Robertson was recalled as a wit-'
ness today in the hearing of the JC-O.-j
000 dainace suit brought by Mrs. Miu-
nie E. Bond against United States
Senator Thomas P. Gore.
Robertson was under question by
Gore's attorneys when court adjorn
ed yesterday. He admitted enmity to
ward the senator, because, the wit
ness asserted. Gore had promised to
use his influence in behalf of H. A.
Rogers, of Oklahoma, mentioned as a
candidate for secretary of the intrioj
but had failed to do so.
Robertson was called as an eye
witness o indignities- which Mrs.
Bond alleged were offered ber by
Senator Gore in Washington last
March and on which h-r .-uit is
based.
The witness gave- practically tbe
same testimony as Klrby Htzpatrici.

fctand relating that he witnessed ?h
alleged attack on the woman -vlnrii

Robertson. Fitzpatrick, Mrs. Bor.d
an dUr. J. H. Earn and another wit
ness for the plaintiff jesterday ail
declared that they were in Washing
ton on political "missions to bt-cur
appointments to federal positions and!
all failed. It Js the contention ot sen
ator Gore's attorneys that the pres
ent suit is a result of political in
trigue. As on the two preceding days ot
the trial the court room was crowded
today and within an hour after court
met even standing room was at a
premium. Mrs. Gore accompanied the
senator to the court room aud at
beside him throughout the day.
