MAKE STATEMENTS) Each Blames the Other for Awful Die aster—Royal Commission Named; | ;> fo Investigate — Identifying the Bodies. Montreal, June 2:—The nearly, 1,000 lives in the sinking of; the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Ireland will be investigated by a Foyal commission of three appointed yesterday. The hearings to determine responsibility for the ramming aad sinking in the St. Lawrence, river Friday morning of the Empress of ‘treland by the Norwegian collier Stor- stad will begin June 9. _ The three men who will comprise the investigating tribunal are Sir Adoiph Routhier, judge of the court of admiralty of Quebec; Hon. Ezekiel McLeod, chief justice and. judge. of the admiralty court of New Brung- wick, appointed by the Canadian gov- ernment, and George L. Vaux of the legal staff of the British board of trade. Liner Rammed Amidships. Rimouski, Que., June 1.—Sinking ip ninety feet of water, within fifteen minutes after being rammed amidships in the upper reaches of the St, Law- rence just before daybreak, the Cana- dian Pacific liner Empress of Ireland carried down with her nearly 1,000 of her passengers and crew. Of the 1,867 persons on board the liner only 403 are “known to have been gaved, making the probable death list 964. On board the train that took the survivors from Rimouski to Quebec the greater number of those saved were men. ' Captain Kendall of the Empress of Ireland, who was taken from the water after the ship sank, was down- cast over the disaster. ‘I wish I had gone to the bottom with her,” he said. Looming up through the river mists as the Empress of Ireland was lying to, waiting for the fog to lift or day to break, the Danish collier Storstad crashed bow-on into the side of the big Canadian liner, striking her about midway of her length and ripping her side open clear to the stern. ‘The crash oceurred not far from the shore off Father Point, 150 miles from Quebec, which the Empress of Ireland left the day before bound for Liver- pool. In reality, therefore, although the liner was heading for the sea and the collier coming in from it, the dis- ajgter was not one of the ocean, but of the river. Unlike the Titanic’s.vic- tims, the Empress of. Ireland's lost their lives within sight of shore—in landlocked waters. Blames Collier. Captain Henry George Kendall, of the liner, told his story of the disas- ter at an inquiry Se by Coro- ner Pinault here. Captain Kendall in substance de- ‘clared that he had taken all possible precautions against a collision. His ship had been stopped and he gave the requisite signals when the Danish collier Storstad, which dealt the blow, which sent the Empress to the bot- tom, was still two miles away, but the collier had kept on through the fog which settled down soon after the two vessels sighted each other and Mad rammed the Empress of freland while the latter was virtually mo- tionless. Then, despite his plea to the ‘master of the collier that he run his engines full speed ahead to keep the hole in the liner’s side plugged with the Storstad's bow, Captain Ken- dall said the D&nish vessel backed away, the water rushed in and the Empress sank. The Other Side. Montreal, June 1.—The other side of the story of the collision in the St. Lawrence river between the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Ireland and the Norwegian collier Storstad, which resulted in the sinking of the liner with the loss of: more than 900 lives, was told. The master of the Storstad |; denies the charge that he was respon- sible for the disaster. He says the Empress shifted its position in the fo&- He also denies that he backed ‘away from the sinking vessel.

Some of the identifications include persons of prominence who lost their lives in the collision between the Em- press of Ireland and the collier Stor- stad early Friday. They are Sir Henry Seton-Karr, the big game hunt- er; Dr. E. Barlow, a leading geologist of Canada, and Mrs. W. Leonard Palmer, wife of a London newspaper man. Nearly a score of members of the Salvation Army have been identi- fied among the dead. Would Aid Survivors, Washington, June 1—While aid hag not been asked by Canadian and Brit- ish organizations in behalf of surviv; ors of the Empress of Ireland and those dependent upon victims of the disaster, the American National Red Cross Society today announced it would forward to the proper authori- ties any contributions sent to it for that purpose by Americans. + Eight From One Village. Hotiston, Minn., June 1.—Eight from this little village of 200 people, in- cluding several of its leading business men, were lost on the Empress of Ireland. A telegram from the com- pany's office at Montreal says they took the steamer and their names are not in the list. of saved. Asks $2,000,000 of Storstad. Montreal, June 1.—Immediately the collier Storstad, which sank the steamer Empress of Ireland, tied up here, a writ claiming $2,000,000 was served on Captain Andersen. It was issued on the petition of the Canadian Pacific railway in the Quebec Admiral- ty court, The Storstad was placed un- fier detention. CHANGED PIER INTO MORGUE Steamer Lady Grey Arrives at Quebec With 188 Bodies of Disaster Victims. *, Quebec, June 1.—The Canadian gov- ernment. steamer, Lady Grey, has brought from Rimouski 188 bodies re- covered from the wreck of the Em- press of Ireland. The historic heights overlooking the St. Lawrence were black with spectators as the ‘funeral ship moved slowly up the river an: ‘was. moored at the new embankmen; wall in the breakwater. The coffins were carried ashore’ and the mourn- ful work of identification began with- out delay. The three.tables, each 100 feet long, soon held coffins of every description. Assembled on one were twenty-five little white caskets that held the bodies of children. glthough the Lady Grey had taken to Rimouski 2!! the coffins that could be gathered in the short time at the disposal of the government- and steamship officers, they were not enough. Besides the children’s caskets there were 88 con- taining the bodies of adults. The oth- er victims were brought here in rough pine boxes hastily nailed -to- gether for the occasion.

Jake Daubenmier, a well known} farmer, committed suicide early Mon- | day morning by shooting himself through the heart, at his farm about two miles northeast of this city. Ill health and despondency are given as the cause of his desiring to end his own life, and it is thought by some of his friends that he had brood- ‘ed over his physical condition until his mind became affected. It is said that while in Butler one day the latter part of the week that he told several of his friends that the world was com- ing toanend. They, however, paid but little attention to his actions at the time, believing him to be jesting. He was a sufferer from stomach trouble, and Sunday night suffered so much from this source that he was unable to sleep. _ Early Monday morning he arose from his bed and told his wife that he intended walking around the yard for atime. Thirty minutes later Mrs. Daubenmier was awakened by the report of a gun, and rushing out into the yard found him dead with a charge of shot from a 28 guage shot-| gun in his heart. He is survived by his wife and two sons, Funeral services were held at the | residence Wednesday morning and| interment was made in Oak Hill cem- etery. Dry Area Gains, Beer Too. ~ Jefferson City, May 30.—There is | a marked disproportion between the| growth of ‘‘dry”’ territory in Missouri and the continued and marked in-| crease in the amount of beer con-| sumed in the state. In 1906 there were thirty-one ‘dry’ | counties in Missouri. That number is nearly treble now. In 1906 the records in the office of State Beer Inspector Speed Mosby show that the tax collected on beer consumed in Missouri was $402, 062.41. Last ysar the tax on beer was $500,-/ - 045.49. - Hot weather invariably has a mark: | ed effect in increasing the tax on beer | consumed in Missouri. Mosby today | turtied into theTreasury $42,906.31 from that source. For May, 1913, the beer tax was $41,196.25, the increase being $1,730.06. Miss Romaine Roach Makes School Success Jefferson City, Mo., May 30.—Miss Romaine Roach, daughter of Secre- tary of State Cornelius Roach, left here today for Springfield, where she will take charge of the department of household economics in the State Nor- mal School. Miss Roach graduated from the State University at Columbia in the class of 1913. Last fall she introduced and taught domestic science in the high of Paris, Monroe County. She was so successful in this posi- tion that before .her term was con- cluded, she was offered and accepted the position at Springfield. ‘ . Her work with the normal begins North Side Square Butler, Mo. ison Against Speaking. Washington, May 31.—Among_po- liticians today, discussion of Presi- | dent Wilson's course in suddenly re- | versing his former decision and at- | tending the G. A. R. Memorial Day | celebration, chiefly centered upon the |President’s conservative. view of presidential speechmaking. The feel- ing which the incident engendered has been allayed. Politically speak- ing, it is a dead episode. . As to the general point involved, the President has been ‘far ‘more re- luctant than his immediate predeces- sors, Taft and Roosevelt, to accept invitations to deliver addresses. President Wilson holds the view that the President’s office confronts its occupant with so many intricate ques- tions that he may not, in justice to the office, use time in preparing many speeches, or in traveling to distant points to deliver them. Agitation against the recent dismis- sals of old soldiers from the local post office and navy yard, continues. Resolutions demanding reinstate- ment of these veterans, and indorse- ment of a plan providing for a gov- }ernment civil pension list, will be acted upon at a mass meeting of G. A. R. men. | $40,000, 000 Was Stolen by | Employes in Last Year. | New York, June 2. — Because ; American business men placed too | great faith in the honesty of their em- ployes, they lost $40,000,000 by de- |falcations in the last year. That is |the estimate of money stolen by the “trusted’’ employes. The figures, | published recently, were compiled by | William B. Joyce, president of the | National Surety Company. | Although the $40,000,000 estimate is declared to be the minimum, the |report shows that only $4,000,000 |was publicly reported. The loss of | $86, 000,000 was borne in silence. | Among the causes of theft were | carelessness of employers and public ‘officers in checking up the accounts of clerks. Underpayment of clerks ‘is one of the principal causes, as well as extravagant home life. Mapping Roads to Frisco, The volume of travel toward the | Pacific in 1915, inspired by the Pan- | American Exposition, has caused the | American Automobile Association to | formulate plans for the remapping of all the important routes. A. L. Westgard, the road man of ‘the association, is at present in ‘In- dianapolis preparing for the long trip. All the old national trails through Northern Arizona, New. Mexico and Colorado, will be rechartered and marked by suitable sign posts, and those who contemplate the trip across the continent may be assured ofa trip over a route easy to follow. Con- trary to ordinary belief it is almost impossible to become lost, and in the main the roads are excellent. . Sale Dates John Speer and J. R.
