A SENSATIONAL REPORT
MR ISMAY BLAMED FOR THE . i v., WRECK.
' PROTEST' IN THE SENATE.
(Received Last Night, 10.55 o'clock.)
NEW YORK, April 22. Wild reports, abetted by excitablemembers of the Congress, declare that Mr Bruce Ismay, Chairman of the White Star Company, was responsible for the wreck. It is alleged that ho virtually superseded Captain Smith, ismd compelled the latter to take an nmrasually high northern course, and to -maintain an excessive speed. Referring to Senator Rayner's vio- . lent attack on Mr Ismay, Senator McCumber, in the Senate, protested "—against the trial, conviction, sentencing, and execution of Mr Ismay without fair and honest consideration. When the feelings "of the civilised world >' -desired a victim upon whom to vent its wrath, the Senate should be particularly deliberate. Senator Lodge endorsed the remarks of Senator McCumber.
