Washington, April 25, – Mrs Walter Plogsted, who was a passenger on the Titanic [sic]; W Taylor, fireman, and AJ Bright, quartermaster of the ill-fated ship, are in this city under subpoena to testify before the Senate committee which is conducting an inquiry into the disaster.

These three witnesses have refrained from giving interviews to the newspapermen, and their stories will not be known until given under oath at the official investigation.

Note:

Two crew survivors (identified as Bright and Taylor) with an unknown woman.   Mrs Plogsted was not a survivor of the Titanic and it is unclear why she was identified as such.  The Mrs Walter Plogsted referred to is most likely the former Pearl May Droste (1883-1962) of Cincinatti, who married engineer Walter Plogsted in 1911 after her divorce from Albert E. Elliott, though the woman in the picture certainly appears older than 29.  It is possible that the person shown is a genuine survivor who has been misidentified; that it is Mrs Plogsted and she was mistakenly thought to have been a survivor by the press;  or that she was an imposter caught up in the media frenzy.
