Ten thousand spectators viewed the battle from points of vantage. The engagement equaled In dra matic circumstances the encounter in January, 1911, described as "the bat tle of London," when desperadoes suspected of being the murderers of police in Hounds Ditch, were trapped in a house in the White Chapel dis trict. and went to their death battling against hundreds of London police and soldiers.

OFEICER CURSED ISMAY FIFTH OFFICER lOWE TOLD IB MAY "TO GET TO HELL" OUT OF HERE." Passengers of the Steamship Bremer Saw Many Bodies of Titanic Victims. * Washington.—Harold G. Lowe, fifth officer of the sunken Titanic, told the j senate Investigating committee his part in the struggle of the survivors for life following the catastrophe. His testimony developed that, with a vol untetr crew, be rescued four men from the water, saved a sinking col lapsible lifeboat by towing it astern of his, and took off twenty men and one woman from the bottom of an overturned boat. Every one of those under his charge he landed safely on the Carpathia. From first to last Lowe's story showed that he played the man. Or dered away in charge of lifeboat No. 14, he packed it to its capacity on the top deck, and fearing that some might attempt to Jump into it while it was descending kept up a fusillade from hiß revolver. Once afloat he took charge of smal craft which eventually were picked up by the res cue ship without IOSB of life. A feature of the day was the evi dence of Officer Lowe that he was compelled to swear at J. Bruce Ismay, chief official of the White Star line, on the night of the ocean disaster, In order to curb Ismay's interference with the lowering of one of the life boats. Lowe said he shouted to Ismay: "Get to hell out of here so I can work," while Lowe and other officers were trying to lower a lifeboat. Ismay was not trying to get into the boat, said the witness, but his actions were confusing and he was interfering with the lowering of the llfecraft. , 0 m - MEXICANS TORTURE WOMEN Plight of the Better Class of Mexi cans as Bad as That of Foreigners.
