WASHINGTON, Dec. 9---Capt. Arthur S.

He was escorted by Senator William Alden Smith, Chairman of the committee that investigated the wreck.

Capt. Rostron was received with great enthusiasm. Senators pressed up to congratulate him, and to those who did not notice his entrance Senator Smith led the Captain by the arm and presented him.
