Ship
as It Sank

STRATHCONA, Alberta, Canada.
April 25.-E. w. Zurich. who crossed
from Antwerp to st. Johns. n. B.. on
the Canadian Pacific railway steamer
Mount Temple. has made a statement
here concerning what was observed
from the Mount Temple at sea the
Sunday night the Titanic went down.
According to Mr.. Zurich, passengers
on board the Mount Temple heard OF
the Titanics distress at 12:15 o'clock
Monday morning, when a wireless call
for help was caught Captain Moore
changed his vessels course at once and
headed for the Titanic, lifeboats being
swung from davits meanwhile and
other preparations made for lending as
sistance. The northern course was not
held long. however. says Mr. Zuricn'
because a great field of ice doomed up
ahead. 1t was reported among crew
and passengers, according to MI
Zurich. that Captain Moore made no
further efforts to penetrate the foes.
asserting that he could not afford to
endanger the 1000 souls aboard his
ship.
The statement of DR.. Quitzrau to the
effect that passengers and crew be-
lieved they could see the lights OF the
unfortunate Titanic is borne out by Mr.
Zurich, with two companion passengers
He disobeyed the. captains orders.
which forbade passengers entrance to
the upper deck at any time. He is
fairly positive that they saw the masts
of the Titanic. and he says he is not
ready to accept the assertion that their
ship was at least forty miles from the
wrecked liner at the time.
At any rate. he thinks the Mount
Temple might bave reached the spot
before the Titanic sank. and this sup
position, he says. seems to have been
entertained by others on board,
Their vessel sighted the Carpathia
next morning. Mr. Zurich says, and
keeping in touch with wireless com
munications to land. they were con-
versant with the story of the wreck.
Mr.. Zurich says that the Mount Temple
sighted immense fields of ice during
Sunday and Monday.

Miss Wooley is a teacher at the Bruce
Street Public School in this city. AT
first she refused to discuss the matter.
Questioned by an Evening Star re-
porter as to whether she would join in
any plan to prosecute Rogers for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses
she said positively that she would not.
She concluded with the statement that
she still considered her uncle a man
of the highest integrity, and said that
his present misfortune was liable to
befall anybody.
This is a matter which do not care
to discuss" began Miss Wooley. 'as

Is 1t true that you suffered to the ex-
tent of $500, your life's savings?", she
was asked. Miss Wooley tried to ignore
the question, and when she was pressed
for an answer declared that she did not
intend to discuss this phase of the mat

"Why did I invest? Well. consider
