TEW PIE TO RESCUE Tried to Reach the Titanic But Ar rived At Scene After Steamer Went Down THE CAPTAIN A WITNESS Tuo Stunners Only n Short Distance Away Schooner Also Near When the Titanic Went Dmvn-Told of KtMcivinK Wireless Messages and of Attempts Made to Go to Rescue Were Impeded by lee Field and Didn't Alter I Reach the 'our O'clock. Scene I'ntil Washington, April 27. With two steamers only short distance away and a schooner slipping through the darKness almost within hail the great liner Titanic went to her end on the Grand Ranks without any hope of succor. This was the testimony of Captain James II. Moore, of the steamship Mount Temple before the senate committee, investigating the tragedy. The ice was the barrier that stretched its frigid length in the -way of those hurrying to the rescue in response to the Titanic's distress calls. The Mount Temple interpreted the Titanic's calls, said Captain Moore and Immediately he turned his ship's con rue toward the crippled liner. On his way lie saw the lights of a schooner within a few miles of the scene of the tragedy and com ing from that direction. When day broke to disclose the great ice field ahead, the Mount Temple discov-1 crcd a -tramp steamer close by. The identity of neither was fixed. The captain read a long list of messages from the Titanic Interpreted by the Mount Temple's operator. It was virtually a complete record of the , wlreleBB appeals sent out by the doomed vessel. Senator Smith com plimented the witness for his thoughtfulness in bringing It. "At 12:?.0 a. m. April 15." Cap tain Moore said, "1 was awakened by the steward with message from the operator of my ship which said the Titanic was sending out a C. Q. D. message. Here is the message: "Titanic sending C. Q. D. requires as sistance. Position 41.44 north; fit). 24 west. Come at once. Icebergs, "At the time vou got the Titanic's message how far distant did you figure the vessel was from you?" "About 4!1 miles." The senator asked what speed the Mount ''Temple made toward the Tl tanini. The captain said about eleven knots. "About !1 a. in. we ran Into our first Ice," the captain continued. "At :!:25, ship's time, we had to stop, At that time wo figured we were about 14 miles from whero Ihe Ti tanlc signalled." Another delay whs occasioned to the Mount Temple by a small schooner, the green light of which halted the Mount. Temple.- The rap- tain got the range of the white head lights, then they disappeared. "How much nearer . the Titanic was the schooner than you." "The schooner couldn't have been more than a mile or a mile and a half from nie." The captain proceeded slowly on the. course toward tho Titanic. The schooner he saw coming from the Titanic's direction was moving about two knots. When he saw her at 3 a. m. she was 12 miles from the Titanic. About 5; 30 or 6 o'clock the Mount Temple ran into a piece of Ice so thick she was forced to turn back. The last seen of the strange steamer whs at 9 o'clock Monday when both were trying to avoid the Ice paek. Tho Ice pack, said the witness, consisted of a field of Ice and bergs. Mo counted between forty and fifty bergs, the greatest being between 100 and 200 feet high. Captain Moore told of arriving at the scene of the Titanic's burial about 4:30 in the morning two hours after the liner went down. "I saw no wreckage and no bodies." he said. "There was noth ing but Ice and the tramp steamer. Ire was so thick I was compelled to hoist men to the mastheads to seek a lane out of the field." Verdict of Accidental Death. "' Halifax, N. 8., April 27. Docu ments of "accidental death" were prepared In readiness for the coron er's Jury, which Inspects the bodies of the Titanic (lend now on their way ' here aboard the eableship E TO BE TRIED Mr. Fleming Will Press Suit For Divorce i iiiloistood That .o Defense Will He Made So That Roth Parties May Re Released From Bonds of Matrimony at Same Time Itocon- t-iliation Story Denied. That Percy B. Fleming had not. effected a reconciliation with his wife, Mrs. Nelle Claire Fleming, as was reported from Durham, but that he will press his suit for absolute divorce, was the statement made today by Mr. W. C. Douglass, his counsel. While in Washington to net. his children Mr fiominir Mo- ' clined all overtures, it was said, and merely promised Mr3. Fleming that as little publicity as possible will attend the divorce trial. It was un derstood that Mrs. Fleming will not contest the suit, the releasing of Mr. Fleming from the bonds of matrimony automatically releasing her. Mr. Douglas said today that the case would be tried at the special term of court, which will convene after t'..e regular term of two weeks adjourns. As little publicity as pos sible will be given the trial. The Colonel in Massachusetts. Boston, April 27. With speeches scheduled in six large Massachusetts cities this was a day of great ac tivity for '.Colonel Roosevelt. The chief speech will be at the lloston arena, tonight, where the colonel probably will reply to TaftVspecch Thursday night from the same plat form. . IS HELD HERE FOR LARCENY OF SHOES The over-anxiousness of selling 11 pairs ot stioes and of separating Trom thenr -for too small a price, got Macon Day into a lot of trouble, and it is thought wll got him into a good hit more before the shoes are for gotten by the law. Yesterday ho approached. Mr. W. A. Smith, who runs a store on Peace street, and ofTered the shoes for the small sum of H. 73 and was taken up on the bargain. Later Mr. Smith became suspicious and 'phoned the chief of police about the deal and gave the description of the negro. Chief Stell put the officers on the trail of -the man and he was later caught and placed in jail on the charge of larceny and receiving stolen goods. All of the shoes are In the original boxes and look to be of good nualitv and bear the cost and price mark of the store. Day gives the old fable about buying them from a negro that he had never seen before and could not describe, hut he could not get around tho fact that he ' boM 11 pairs of ?4 shoes for $S.7.'i and can not account for the small price ho asked. Thursday night several residences and store were broken Into by a band of negroes In Kinston, and it is thought by the police that Day Is one of the robbers, or at least had something to do with the robbery. Chief Stell. notified Kinston today, but as yet has heard nothing from them. :. . Day is a rather stout mulatto, clean shaven and wears a soiled soft shirt and baggy coat. He claims to come, from Wake Forest, and says he knows nothing more than he told about the shoes, but the police Ihlnk otherwise.

A black pall hung over this section yesterday and part of today, and It. seemed that 'rain, in spite of the hopes of hundreds of enthusiasts, might in terfere with the events scheduled for the afternoon. The weather man, probably with some compul sion, predicted '."probable local chowcrs," and his forecast was all loo true. However, it would require much rain to prevent the contest, and there Is every probability that the affair will be pulled off as sched uled.
