STARTLING ALLEGATIONS.
SHIRKING THE INQUIRY. DELIBERATE ERRONEOUS STATEMENTS. (Received April 20, 9.10 a.m.) LONDON, April 19. The unexpectedly early arrival prevented the Senate's investigation committee boarding the Carpathia before she was docked. The chairman states that he had learned that the surviving officers and crew contemplated boarding the Ceclric immediately, and proceeding to England, and placing themselves 'beyond the committee's jurisdiction. The chairman adds that he intends to tell Mr. Ismay in order to avoid trouble. The Company and officers should assist the inquiry. The Department of Justice of Washington believe that erroneous messages concerning the fate of the Titanic have been given, and deliberate attempts made to postpone knowledge of the wreck to give time to re-insure the cargo of the Titanic.
