TITANIC ENQUIRY
WHOLE DISASTER DUE TO EXCESSIVE SPEED. By Telegraph.— Preßii Association.— Copyright. LONDON, June. Addressing the Titanic Enquiry Commission, Sir Rufus Isaacs, Attorney-Gen-eral, said he was satisfied there was no desire to make a record, but if her speed had been reduced to eight luiota she might have collided, but would not have eunk. Only forty seconds elapsed between the sighting of the ice and the impact. It was idle to suggest that the accident was one of a. kind that must occur. Lord Mersey, President of the Commission incidentally said he was inclined to think the whole disaster was due to excessive speed.
