see so yards Five minutes after the
collision the fog lifted. The boats on
the lower side were in the water and
four or five of them got away and
saved many people.
IL think that If the collier had kept
her bow in the hole she had made In
the Irelands side, she would have
been able to make the shore and prob
ably have saved every one"
Chief Engineer Sampson, who re-
NAMED in the engine room until the
fires were drowned and the lights ex-
tlnguished, was too i'll to appear and
his testimony was taken at his bed
side.
IL was in the engine room until
the lights went out and there was no
more steam," he said. 81 had great
difficulty in reaching the decks, owing
to the great list OF the ship. No sooner
had | got on deck when the boats Of
the port side, which had broken loose
swept down on top of us and carried
us under water. When ! came to the
surface | found myself under life
boat and entangled in wreckage.
Wireless Operators Story.
William James, wireless operator at
Father Point, told of being awakened
by his assistant at 1:55 A. M. by the
news that the Empress had been in
collision with another ship. He then
took charge and forwarded the word
to the Lady Evelyn and Eureka. The
Empress gave no reply, further than
to say that she was 20 miles from
Rimouski.
Captain Belanger, Of the Eureka.
told OF the trip he had made to the
scene OF the wreck. He was not sure
on his first trip OF the exact posi-
ton where she had sunk. On the sec
ond however, he could tell from the
boiling up from beneath OF the muddy
water where the wrecked vessel lay.
He told of gathering what bodies he
could find.
After moments deliheration by the
jury, II was decided to adjourn the in
quiry for one week. In the meantime
the Coroner will. consult with the dis
trict attorney with the purpose Of de-
termining what may be done toward
securing the evidence of the captain
and crew of the Storstad.
The Canadian government steamer
Lady Grey, with ensigns half-masted,
left here for Quebec, bearing ITS
bodies In coffins. No other bodies
have been found and II is believed
that the greater number of those lost
we're imprisoned inside the hull OF the
Empress.
The giving out by the Canadian Pa
cifc Railway of the list of steerage
passengers showed that 226 of them
had come from the United States.
Nearly all were OF birth or Of ex-
traction foreign to that country, how
ever, and on their way back to Eu-
rome. Most of them appeared to be
either natives or children of natives
of Central Europe A large number
of them were saved, although how
many the still incomplete reports OF
survivors in the hands of the Canadian
Pacific Railway make 1t impossible to
determine.

HEUsNER or JUNCTION
ELECTED X. 6. n. A. HEAD.
Choice Was Unanimous--A Woman
Tor Presidents Next Year,

As predicted w. s. Heusner. su,
Fperintendent Of schools OF Junction
/ City, wee elected president OF the
Kansas state teacher association
yesterday. The report OF the nom
mating committee advocating Heus-
ner's election was adopted without a
dissenting vote.
Miss Lillian Scott. dean Of women
OF Baker University, who was early
mentioned as q leading candidate
for president OF the association was
elected vice president Miss Anna
Arnold OF Cottonwood Falls, county
superintendent OF Chase county
schools. was elected second yice
president. having jurisdiction over
the common and graded school de-
partment Of the state association.
Joy Warren. of Smith Center was
elected third vihe president. The
members Of the auditing committee
elected were: S. p. Rowland. Reno
county; e. B. Gift, Alma; ]. F.
Bender, Arkansas City.
Following the election Of officers
there was some speculation to the
effect that Miss Arnold OF Cotton
wood Falls, who was elected second
vice president. is strong possibility
for president OF the association q
year from now. In the fifty years
OF it's existence the association new
err has elected woman president,
although the majority OF the MEM
bers are woman teachers. For sew
eral years past the sentiment in
favor Of woman president for the
association has been growing and
some believed yesterday that the
school ma'ams will succeed in elect
ing a woman next year. From the
nature of the office the first vice
president is always woman, as this
office is the head Of the primary
md kindergarten department, but
his Is not enough to satisfy the wO-
mem teachers,
