BLOODY ANCHOR SIGN OF TRAGEDY Awiul Havoc of Recent Col: lision Explaiaed. STORSTAD OFFICER TALKS Declares Every One on Board the Col- lier Did Everything Possible to Save Lives of Passengers and Crew of the Empress of Ireland. Montreal, June 2—The sharp point of an anchor projecting from the twisted bow of the Norwegian collier Storstad may explain why that vessel did such terrible execution when she rammed the Empress of Ireland in the lower St. Lawrence. An examination of the collier's shattered plates revealed the anchor jammed in a position where it could have ripped the hull of the Empress like a great can opemer. The anchor point and portions of the battered steel surrounding it bear stains of blood. Pilot Nault, who navigated the Storstad up the St. Lawrence from Quebec, said that Captain Andersen told him that Anderson, his first offi- cer and Pilot Lechance, who brought the Storstad from Father Point to Quebec, were on the bridge at the time of the collision. One of the offi- cers of the Storstad said: “At the time of the disaster I was lying in my bunk. I was awakened by a shock and at first thought the ship had struck a rock. “I ran to the deck and looked over the side. The Storstad was going full speed astern. The water around was filled with struggling men and women shouting for help. Boats were imme- diately lowered and there was not a man on the Storstad who did not do his utmost to help rescue the peo- ple.” IDENTIFICATION OF THE DEAD Work Accomplished More Rapidly Than Expected. Quebec, June 2.—Identification of the dead from the wreck of the Cana- dian Pacific steamer Empress of Ire- land is being accomplished more rapid- ly than was expected. Nearly 100 of the 188 bodies brought here by the Lady Grey thus far have been claim- ed by friends and relatives. This is in addition to the eighteen bodies identified at Rimouski. Among those identified are Sir Hen- ry Seton-Karr, the big game hunter; Dr. E. A, Barlow, a leading geologist of Canada, and Mrs. W. Leonard Pal- mer, wife of a London newspaper man. Nearly a score of members of the Salvation Army have been claimed from among the dead. When the Lady Grey, escorted by the British warship Essex, arrived in Quebec bluejackets from the Essex acted as pallbearers. The bodies were placed on long tables draped in black and white in the funeral shed which had been prepared for their re- ception. The pier shed was heavily draped in black and over the windows sheets were fastened to shut out the view of the curious and the morbid. On the wharf as the ship docked was a throng of officials, newspaper men, photographers and moving pic- ture men, while outside a sorrowing crowd awaited admittance to search for their dead. Survivors Seek Loved Ones. A number of survivors of the dis. aster were in the crowd, hoping to find the bodies of loved ones they had lost when the steamer went down. Pathetic scenes were witnessed in that section of the shed in which twenty-five little caskets lay. These contained the bodies of babies and lit- tle children. Several of the bodies of the recov- ered dead were badly gashed, prob- ably killed in their berths by the force of the Storstad’'s bow as it crashed into the Empress of Treland’'s side, while nearly all were bruised and battered from contact with debris. Additional bodies are being recov- slowly at the scene of the dis- reports from Rimouski and Ma- tane say. A force of men is patrol- ling both sides of the St. Lawrence river for miles, but thus far with lit- tle succe: Many boats are hovering s no change in the official list of saved and dead, which show that 418 persons escaped and 969 were killed or drowned. RIGID PROBE OF DISASTER British and Canadian Governments to Act Jointly. . Ottawa, June 2.—The British an Canadian governments are co-operat- ing to make the most thorough possi- ble investigation into the sinking of the steamer Empress of Ireland. The disaster will be inquired into by a royal commission of three. The British government has appointed (jeorge Vaux as its representative. He already has sailed from England and will reach Montreal June 8, when the inquiry will be commenced. The other two members of the commission will be judges of the Canadian ad- miralty court. To cook apples thoroughly instead of leaving their centers underdone, a tensil has been patented in which fruit is impaled wupon perforated cones, through which steam - rises from a boiler beneath. To supplement its coast defenses the French army has equipped an ermored train with ammunition cars and rapid fire guns, which can be hurried to any point along a rail- road that skirts the sea. 5 WARREN S. STONE. Head of Locomotive Engineers Calls for Strike Vote In West. @ 1912 by Ameriean Press Assoclation. GREAT STRIKE OF ENGINEMEN POSSIBLE Ninety-eight Roads West of Chicago Affected. Chicago, June 3.—One of the largest strikes in the history of the country may take place soon following the re- fusal of ninety-eight railroads west of Chicago to grant an increase of wages asked by firemen and engineers. After a conference lasting three months between committees repre- senting the railroads and the firemen and engineers it was announced that the railroads would not meet the re- quests of the men because they meant increases to the payrolls of nearly 50 per cent. ‘Warren S. Stone, grand chief engi- neer of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers, will submit the ques- tion of a strilke to the men. It will be thirty days before the referendum vote can be taken. The total mileage of the road in- volved is about 140,000. More than 55,000 firemen and engineers will be affected. WIFE’S PLEA SAVES HUSBAND Confes.ed Bigamist Escapes Going to Penitentiary. Duluth, June 3.—Because his wife, Grace Sullivan, a Minneapolis stenog- rapher, forgave him, Walter J. Sulli- van, confessed bigamist, was saved from going to the state penitentiary. Sullivan appeared before District Judge Fesler and pleaded guilty to bigamy. He admitted that he mar- ried Helen A. Swan, a Duluth girl, in this city Nov. 15, 1913, but declared he was too drunk to know what he was doing. He also was drunk when he obtained the marriage license, he said. Mason M. Forbes, first assistant county attorney, refused to recom- mend clemency until after wife No. 1 pleaded for the prisoner. The court pronounced sentence of one year and suspended it. Under the terms of the parole Sullivan is obliged to abstain from the use of liquor, to find work and to make monthly reports to a probation offi- cer. B T T R O + - [ R £ LIGHTNING KILLS AN ARMY CAPTAIN. Fort Bayard, N.M., June 3.— Captain Joseph O. Walkup, medical corps, U. 8. A, was instantly killed by .lightning while driving his automobile. The four other occupants of the car were badly shocked but are in no danger. The ac- cident occurred near Central, N. M. The lightning struck Captain Walkup square in the forehead. T PR REBEL MUNITIONS CLEARED Anticipated Obection to Shipment Fails to Materialize, New York, June 3.—Although offi- -cials at the custom house said earlier in the day that the Ward liner Antilla probably would be refused clearance papers because she had on board 500 tons of ammunition for the Mexican Constitutionalists at Tampico, no ob- jection to the vessel's sailing was made when the manifest was present- ed and clearance papers asked. NO SIGNS OF MISSING SHIP Torpedo Boat Destroyers Fruitlessly Seek the Luckenbach. Norfolk, Va., June 2—The torpedo boat destroyers Beale and Fanning have reached here from Tampico ahead of their convoys, the cruisers Dixie and Birmingham. The cruisers were convoying eight torpedo boats from Tampico to Hampton Roads when they received orders to search for the missing steamer Luckenbach when off the coast of Florida. -The destroyers saw no signs of the miss- ing steamer. el Women Smash Twenty Windows. Cricieth, Wales, June 3 —While David Lloyd-George, chancellor of the exchequer, addressed a gathering of REBELS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED Stand Taken by Washington at Mediation Meeting. NO PROGRESS BEING MADE Proceedings Deadlocked Over the Question of Including Carranza in the Negotiations Now Under Way at Niagara Falls, Ont. Niagara Falls, ‘Ont., June 3.—The Constitutionalists must be considered in any general pacification plan for Mexico in which the United States has any responsible part, despite re- ported objections of the mediators. This was the unalterable stand of the administration. The American representatives at Niagara Falls have been instructed to act accordingly. General Carranza’s declaration that it is not within the province of the mediation conference to-deal with in- ternal affairs of Mexico and that he will not recognize any provisional government, nor agree to any proposal that Huerta would be a candidate for president again, has mixed up the mediation plans. Yet, despite unfavorable reports of the dispute between Carranza and the mediators, administration officials be- lieve the situation does not contain elements imperiling success of media- tion. g Some plan for inclusion of Carranza in the mediation negotiations, it is be- lieved, will be found within forty- eight hours. Mediation which would settle disputes between this govern-. ment and “Huerta alone and which would leave Carranza and his adher- ents disgruntled or in continued belligerency would be far from the aims sought by this government in ac- cepting mediation. RIDICULED BY THE REBELS Plan of Selecting Felix Diaz Rrovision- al President. Durango, Mex., June 3.—The arrival from Washington of Luis Cabrera, member of the Constitutionalist junta in the United States, is anxiously awaited by the Constitutionalist lead- ers in the belief that he will have a dominating voice in the selection by General Carranza of a new provision- al cabinet. The cabinet will be named soon. Villa and Carranza have held several telegraphic. conferences and have reached an understanding. Washington dispatches regarding the possible appointment of General Fe- lix Diaz or General Velasquez Gomez as provisional president caused amuse- ment at rebel headquarters. Diaz is considered the greatest enemy of the Constitutionalists and his acceptance by the Constitutionalists would be im- possible. Gomez is not an enemty of the Constitutionalists, but he has never participated in the present revolution. PAGEAN'IT_ACTRESS _IS SHOT Seriously Injured During Indian Bat- tle in St. Louis. St. Louis, June 3.—During a scene in the St. Louis pageant in which the settlers engage in battle with the force of Indians, Miss Irma Rolf, a performer, was shot in the breast. Physicians who attended: her said the wound—powder burns—although se- rious, was not likely to prove fatal. In different sections of the large andience sixteen others suffered minor injuries. KING GEORGE THANKS WILSON Replies to Message Expressing Sym- pathy in Disaster. Washington, June 3.—President Wil- son has received from King George the following reply to his message concerning the loss of the Empress of Ireland: “I thank you sincerely for your sympathy in the terrible disaster to the Efnpress of Ireland and for your kind thoughts for the families of those who have perished.” TO END THEFTS OF CATTLE Texas Ranchers Organize and Will Reinforce Sheriffs. i San Antonio, Tex., June 3.—Declar- ing that more than eight thousand head of cattle have been driven from their ranches into Mexico_in the past year, cattlemen along the Rio Grande have ‘organized the Texas Protective association and will sup- ply 400 guards to aid' the border county sheriffs. Mill City Man Ends Life. Minneapolis, June 3.—Aggrieved because he found a note awaiting him from his wife saying she was gone and would not return, C. B. Franklin, a street car conductor, drank carbolic acid and died. Franklin was married in April. New Minister to Honduras. ‘Washington, June 3.—The president has nominated Beaz W. Long of New Mexico, now chief of the division of Latin-American affairs, department of state, to be minister to Honduras. By the addition of a small portion of chromic oxide to the mixture col- orless/crystals of carbchundum have ‘been produced, but too ‘hard to cut into gems that would rival diamonds in brilliancy. Political Anflunneme.nts Liberals here, five militant suffra. gettes ran amuck on the village's main street with hammers ~and smashed twenty windows. They were arrested. =R 2 PAID ADVERTISEMENT, (Inserted for and by J. G.
