I have also a statement from Officer Lowe, of the Titanic, which I have been requested to put into the record. This comes to me through the Italian ambassador and contains an explanation by Mr. Lowe of the testimony which he gave that he fired his gun, as his boat was being lowered into the water, because of the glaring eyes of Italian immigrants, who he was afraid menaced his safety in lowering the lifeboat. Mr. Lowe wants this statement to go into the record, and the Italian ambassador wants it to go in.

Fifth Officer, SS Titanic.

I have also an affidavit, filed at my request, of Mrs. Mahala D. Douglas, of Minneapolis, Minn. I interrogated Mrs. Douglas in New York after the arrival of the Carpathia. Her grief was so great over the loss of her husband that I concluded not to attempt to take her testimony at that time. On the 2nd day of May at my request, she made an affidavit, and I present it for the record.
