THE COMMONWEALTH, SCOTLAND NECK, N. C. 900 PERSONS PERISH SINKS IN ST. CANADIAN PACIFIC LINER, EM ' PRES8 OF IRELAND, RAMMED BY COLLIER. A LARGE HOLE IN SIDE Etsamer Goes Down in Fourteen Min utes After Impact. Little Tim For "Women First." Rlmouskl, Quebec. Sinking in 90 feet of water within 15 minutes after being rammed amidship in the upper reaches of the St. Lawrence River, the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Ireland carried down with her more than 900 of her passengers and crew. Of the 1,367 persons on board the liner, only 433 are known to have been saved, making the probable death list 934. 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 tern. Crash Near Shore. The crash occurred not for from the shore off Father Point, 150 miles from Quebec, which the Empress of Ireland left the afternoon before bound for Liverpool and 10 miles from this point on the St. Lawrence. In reality therefore, although the liner was heading for the sea and the collier coming in from it, the dis aster 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 land-locked waters. Immediately the ships crew recov ered from the shock of the collision and when it was seen that the liner had received a vital blow a wireless "S. O. S." call was sounded. A special train was made up on which many were taken to Quebec and Montreal. The president of the Canadian Paci fic Railway, Issued a statement say ing that the Empress had sunk with in fourteen minutes. No one aboard had time to size his belongings much less to dress. Those found in the life boats were in their night clothes. The women suffered most. Only a few were saved, according to the earthly lists, and indications are that they lacked the strength to combat condi tions which confronted them. There was not time, as was the case on the Titanic, for calm deliberation and rig id observance of the unwritten rule of the- sea, "Women first!" A party of Salvation Armymem bers en route to London, was almost wiped out; Laurence Irving, son of the late Sir Henry Irving, is among the missing and other prominent persons in the first cabin were unaccounted for. Of those saved crew members and third class passengers predominated. From partial lists available it was evident that but a mere sprinkling of the first cabin passengers were res cued. Only three names of those in the cabin appeared in the preliminary list of rescued. They were G. W. G. Henderson and C. R. Burt, address not stated and Walter Fenton of Manchester, Eng. The stricken vessel sank as if she were lead. An explosion, apparently originating In her engine room, has tened her end, and those persons who were able to make their way from their cabins found themselves on a perilously slanting deck. Many leap ed and were drowned. Others were fortunate enough to grasp driftwood or were picked up by lifeboats. It is apparent that the great hole torn in the ship's side admitted such a delugt of water that many must have been overcome in their beds. The rescued, fighting their way to the lifeboats from the careening deck, slinging desperately to the rails or leaping blindly overboard, broke their arms or legs or otherwise injur ed themselves so badly that twenty two died after being picked up. Groan ing and in some cases practically in sensible, others were landed here while the populace of the village gath ered with medicines and stimulants to relieve their suffering. Vessel Cut Wide Open. The vessel bound for Quebec from Liverpool with 77 first, 206 second and 504 third class passengers, was cut wide open by the collier Storstad and Bank within 20 minutes in 19 fathoms of water. Many Were Injured. Of those saved the majority appear ed to be members of the crew or from List of Salvation Army Officers. Winnipeg.

WHEN SHIP LAWRENCE RIVER the steerage. Many were badly in jured and 22 died after being picked up. Great Inrush of Water. The crash occurred about 2 o'clock in the morning off Father Point, Que bec. The collier, bound for Quebec struck the Empress of Ireland on the port side about the middle of the ship. She literally tore her way back almost to the liner's screws, leaving a rent through which the water poured in In such a deluge that she sank before many of the passengers were aware of what had happened. Vessels to Rescue. Brief wireless calls for help sent out by the Marconi operator were heard by the pilot boat Eureka here, 10 miles from the scene, and the Eure ka, followed by the Lady Evelyn, a mail tender, made all speed for the spot. It was these two boats that found afloat the few lifeboats that were launched from the stricken ship and picked up the survivors they contain ed. Three hundred and thirty-nine were saved by the Lady Evelyn and 60 by the Eureka. Among those sav ed was Captain H. G. Kendall, of the Empress. Noted Persons Aboard. Most of the first-class passengers apparently perished. Among these in the first cabin were Sir Henry Seton Karr, a noted English lawyer and big game hunter, and Laurence Irving, son of the late Sir Henry Irving, and his wife, Mabel Hackney. Of a party of 140 Salvation Army members on board only 20 were rescued. They had left Quebec for the army's interna tional conference in London. Pitiable Scene. So quickly did the Empress sink that those passengers fortunate enough to get into the lifeboats found themselves garbed only in their night clothes. No baggage was saved. The condition of the survivors was pitia ble. Some had broken arms and legs and all had suffered terribly. E. Gos setin, a prominent lawyer from Mon treal, saved himself by clinging to a raft. When the rescue ships decked here the station platform was con verted into a hospital and the towns people, bringing food and clothing, united in a common effert to aid the sufferers. Twelve bodies with faces covered lay side by side on the wharf. They were passengers who had made the lifeboats but who were fatally hurt. Wreckage Strews Coast. Wreckage strews the St. Lawrence for a long distance near the spot where the Empress sank. The sun shone brightly during the forenoon and though the water is still icy, the temperature was not low enough to increase the suffering of the surviv ors. "Ship Gone." Early estimates here indicated that of those saved not more than 60 were passengers. Besides Captain Kendall, the first and second engineers and the ship's surgeon were rescued. The captain was too overcome to give at the time of the crash to do anything. He had sent a wireless to his line after the vessel was struck, saying: "Ship gone." Townspeople Render Aid. The residents of Rimouskl, number ing 3,000, came silently to the dock where the dead and exhausted living were being landed, and under the di rection of Mayor H. R. Fiset, gave aid wherever possible. Every doctor in the town was on the scene and many of the injured were taken to private homes. From cedar chests and clos ets the townsfolk brought garments of all descriptions for those who had lost their belongings. Two head quarters were established at the wharf and at the station of the Intercolonial Railway. At the station those injured and not removed to homes were cared for. Like Titanic Disaster The rescue boats, Eureka and Lady Evelyn, found on reaching the point where the Empress sank, a scene not dissimilar to that which greeted the liners that rushed to the Titanic's aid. They found the ship sunk and the sur face of the water, fortunately calm, dotted with lifeboats and smeared with floating debris. In the lifeboats were huddled the survivors, dazed and moaning, some then dying of injuries sustained in the crash or in the rush of leaving the sinking Empress. Few could give anything but incoherent, almost hys terical accounts of what had happen ed. J. L. Black and Mrs. Black of Ottowa, said they had jumped togeth er into the river. They had been roused by the shock of the collision and unable to get into a lifeboat, had risked the leap. They were picked up by a boat from the Lady Evelyn. Another survivor was Mrs. Patten of Sherbrooke, Que. Some Passengers on Ship. Montreal. The passenger list of the Empress of Ireland is: Saloon: Mrs. J. R. Abercrombie, Vancouver. J. P. Adie and Mws.

Final tabulations of casulties in the sinking of the steamer Empress of Ireland made showed that 403 of her passengers and crew had been rescued and 964 had perished. Capt. Henry George Kendall of the liner was telling his story of the dis aster at an inquiry conducted by Coroner Pinault here. Capt. Kendall in substance declared he had taken all possible precautions against a collision. His ship had been stopped and he gave the requisite sig nal when the Danish colllier Storstad, which sank the Empress, was two miles away, but the collier kept on through the fog that settled down soon after the two vessels sighted each other and had rammed the Em press while the latter vessel was mo tionless. Then the End. Then, despite his plea to the mas ter of the collier that he run his en gines full speed ahead to 'keep the hole in the liners side plugged with the Storstad's bow, said Capt. Ken dall, the Danish vessel backed away, the water rushed in and the Empress sank. Capt. Kendall took up his story of the disaster from the point at which the Empress of Irela id, bound from Quebec for Liverpool, had dropped her pilot at Father Point. "We then proceeded full speed," continued Capt. Kendall. "After pass ing Rock Point gas buoy I sighted the steamer Storstad, it then being clear. "The Storstad was about one point 12 degrees, on my starboard bow. I saw a slight fog bank coming grad ually from the land and knew it would pass between the Storstad and myself. The Storstad was about two miles away. Then the fog came and the Storstad's lights disappeared. I stopped my ship. "At the same time I blew three short blasts on the steamer's whistle, meaning T am going full speed as tern.' The Stornstad answered. "I then blew two long blasts, mean ing My ship was under way but stopped and has now way upon her, He answered me again. lit was still foggy. About two minutes afterward I saw red and green lights. He would then be about one ship's length away from me. 1 shouted to him through the mega phone to go full speed astern. At the same time I had my engine full speed ahead with my helm hard aport with the object of avoiding, if possible, the shock. Almost at the same time she came right in and cut me down in line between the funnels. "I shouted to the Storstad to keep full speed ahead to fill the hole he had made. He backed away. The ship began to fill and listed over rap Idly. When he struck me I had stop pea my engines. I then" rang full speed ahead again, with the object of running her on shore. Almost im mediately the engines stopped, the ship filled and going over all the time. Ordered Out Boats. "I had, in the meantime, given or ders to get the lifeobats launched. I told the chief officer to tell the wire less operator to send out distress sig nals. He told me this had been done. I said: 'Get the boats out as quick as possible.' That was the last I saw of the officer. In about three to five minutes after that the ship turned over and foundered. I was swiftly taken down with the suction. The next thing I re member was seizing a piece of grating. Some men pulled me into a lifeboat, which already had about 30 people in it. "We pulled around and picked up 20 or 25 more and put about 10 around the side in the water with ropes around their waists, hanging on. We. then pulled to the Storstad. I got . all the people on board the Storstad and then left her with six of the crew and went back. When we got there everybody had gone." Order Ax for Roosters. Columbus, O.

THOMAS IN FRENCH GAR WINS RIG RACE RENE THOMAS, VICTOR IN 600 MILE RACE AT SPEEDWAY, INDIANAPOLIS. . SETS NEW COURSE REC0RF Rivalry Among Foreigners Shuts Out Americans, Oldfieid's Fifth Place Being Best Made. Indianapolis. Rene Thomas, drir in a French car, won the fourth an nual 500-mile race on the Idianapolis motor speedway. All speedway records from five to 500 miles were broken. The first American to finish was Bar ney Oldfield in fifth place. Thomas' time was 6 hours, 3 min utes, 45.99 seconds. The winner main tained an average speed of 82.47 miles an hour. The former speed record of 6 hours, 21 minutes, 3.03 seconds, was established by Joe Dawson in 1912. Arthur Duray finished second, seven minutes after the winner. Albert Guyot, team mate of Thomas, was thrid and Jues Goux, winner of the 1913, race, finished fourth, six minutes ahead of Oldfield. Six men were injured, none serious ly. Joe Dawson suffered a broken col lar bone and minor injuries when his car turned over after trying to dodge the wrecked machine of Ray Gilhool- ey. Ore Barnes, Dawson's mechani cian was hurt and Gilhooley and Nino Zonani, his mechanician, also suffered minor injuries. Jean Sassagne and Albert Mitchell, handling an English car, limped from their machine after it rolled over on a turn. The race was exciting one and rivalry among foreign teams made one of the most exciting finishes ever witnessed at the Indian apolis course. Georges Boillott push ed his car to such excessive speed that in the 147th lap when leading the field he was forced out because of a broken frame. Duray thrilled the spectators by his sensational effort to catch Thomas near the end of the contest and Goux seemed always to be a contender for first place. Thomas made one stop at the pits, Duray two and Guyot one. Thomas drove the last 100 miles at an average of more than 84 miles an hour. Thomas' car was No. 1, Goux car ried the same number to victory last year. Thomas won first prize of $20, 000 and accesso prizes and trophies will increase this amount to about $40,000. Josef Christiaens, in a Belgian car finished sixth; Harry Grant, in an English machine was seventh; Keene and Rogers in an American car were placed eighth and William Carlson was ninth. - E. W. Rickenbacher, in an American car, finished tenth, the last of the prize winners. Haupt, Mul- ford and Burman in Knipper's entry finished the race in the order named. One hundred thousand persons saw the race. PEACE CONFERENCE PROLONGED The Entire Mexican Problem Will Be Threshed Out, is the Plan. Washington. Every indication In Washington pointed to prolongation of Mexican mediation negotiations at Niagara Falls. It is known the Wash ington government desires the Mexi can Constitutionalists represented in the proceedings tending for peace. The view of the administration is said to be that terms of peace for Mexico which will not be permanent peace, are useless. Administration leaders, cognizant o fthis view, reiterated confidence that the mediation conference would not adjourn until the pathway to an ad justment of the whole Mexican prob lem had been cleared. After the mediators had accepted the message from General Carranza, chief of the Constitutionalists, carried to Niagara Falls by Juan Urquidt, it was reported that the Huerta dele gates had decided they would abide by any decision the mediators might make as to receiving the Carranza del egates into the conference. Roosevelt Goes to Spain. New York. Theodore Roosevelt, accompanied by Philip Roosevelt, a cousin and his eldest daughter, Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, sailed for Spain on the steamship Olympic, to attend the wedding of his son Kermit at Mad rid on June 10 to Miss Belle Willard, daughter of the American ambassa dor to Spain.

Hutchi son of the Cotton Manufacturers' As sociation of North Carolina has just issued the call for the annual meeting of the organization to be held in Char lotte Tuesday, June 9 at the Southern Manufacturers' Club. at 11 o'clock. A large attendance of manufacturers is desired, particularly on account of the hearing that is to be held before the special examiner of the Interstate Commerce Commssion on coal rates, which begins Tuesday, June 8. This will enable the cotton mill men to attend this hearing and also partici pate in the convention. In addition, there are several important matters to be considered by the manufactur ers and hence a large attendance is desired. The entertainment committee, of which Mr. S. B. Alexander, Jr., is chairman, is making preparations to give the visitors a very enjoyable stay while in the city. A lunch is to be served at the Southern Manufactur ers' Club at 1:30, following the meet ing, when Special Examiner Eddy and other eminent visitors will be the guests of the association.

Black of Charlotte, secretary and treasurer. The interest of the mill men in this hearing on coal rates before the special examiner of the Interstate Commerce Commission arises by rea son of the fact that the Cotton Manu facturers' Association of North Caro lina has intervened in the case where in various interests are seeking to secure a better alignment of rates from the coal fields in to the South eastern territory. HOBSON PLEASES AT NEWBERN. Thousands of People in the City For the Big Event of the Week. Newbern. The big homecoming celebration and aviation meet which was in progress in Newbern last week, came to a close with a spectacular fireworks display at the fair grounds. The last was to have been "Bryan Day" and Secretary of State W. J. Bryan was to have made the prin cipal address but at the last moment he found it impossible to come and in his stead Richmond Pearson Hob son, the distinguished Alabamian was secured. In the afternoon Mr. Hobson delivered an address before 6,000 or 7,000 people at the fair grounds and in the estimation of all the address was one of the best ever heard in this part of the state. Mr. Hobson touched on four vital subjects, viz: education, the need of society, the United States Navy and the valor of Southern men. He said that the South is now fac ing a new era and that in order to become leaders of the nation that the children of the south must be edu cated and he advocated Federal aid in giving them better schools. As to sobriety he said that alcohol was one of the greatest curses of the south and as long as the southerner permitted the manufacture and sale of alcoholic drinks that they would never attain the highest standard ir any line. Severe Hailstorm at Statesville. Statesville. Statesville and vicinity recenly experienced the heaviest hail storm since 1884, ragged stones of ice weighing around an ounce each, fall ing rapidly for 10 or 15 minutes and doing considerable damage. Many are claiming that the stones were as large as hen eggs, and weighed five or six ounces, but stones that were picked up and weighed by your correspond ent before the storm had hardly sub dued did not weigh more than an ounce. Fortunately the storm did not etxend over a large territory- Camps at Asheville. "Washington.
