father POINT SAYS
1000 have PERISHED
By JOHN McWILLIAMS.
Marconi wireless Operator.

FATHER POINT, Quebec, May o.
According to the best possible esti-
mate. IL is believed here that 1000
persons perished when the Canadian
Pacific liner Empress Of ireland went
down after being rammed, at 1.45
a. m. today in q dense fog of this
point by the collier Storstad. The
Empress was proceeding down river
when the collision occurred. The big
liner Immediately took "a heavy list,
making it impossible to launch more
than few lifebOats. Those that were
put in the water, however, were heay-
lily loaded and it is known that $50
persons were saved.
II IS believed that at least 20 others
were saved, either being picked up
from the water or taken from life
RATS. The $50 survivors were landed
at Rimouski by the Canadian govern
ment boats Lady Evelyn and Eureka,
which raced to the rescue from here.
As soon as the collision occurred,
the Empress sent out S. o. 5. calls,
and the alarm was Immediately given
here. The Lady Evelyn and the Eu-
reka we're soon under way rushing at
full speed to the scene of the disaster
They strained every effort and under
forced draft sped through the fog to
the spot where the Empress was in
distress.
Even though the two government
boats made a heroic effort, they ar
rived too late, as the Empress had
gone down before they reached the
scene. The survivors in the lifeboats
were picked up as quickly as possible
and taken to RimousH. The Stor-
stad in the meantime had launched
lifeboats and given all possible aid to
the victims of the big liner. II was
believed that she picked up at least
seventy persons.
The water is nineteen fathoms deep
at the point where the Empress sank.

$50 Go Down TO Death in
the ST. Lawrence; 337 Saved

"The Lady Evelyn and the Eureka
docked here this morning with 400
passengers. Both Captains reported
that all passengers were I'm the life
boats of the Lady Evelyn, Eureka
and Empress of Ireland. AS soon as
the passengers are discharged, both
steamers will leave for the scene Of
the wreck to pick up passengers"
The Canadian Pacific Offices here
received a similar message. The des-
patches do not in any way agree with
previous advices in the matter of loss
OF life Il was indeterminate, from
the messages wording, whether il
was meant that all the passengers
of the Empress were in the lifeboats
or only the passengers who were able
to make the boats.
The Empress of ireland was of A.
191 tons register and was one of the
largest and finest steamers owned by
the Canadian Pacific lines She was
sister-ship to the Empress Of
Britain.
The collier Storstad. which sank the
giant liner was of only 1861 tons regis
Ter. She was commanded by Captain
Anderson and piled between Montreal
and Sydney, n. S.
Gone" was the last laconic message
flashed over the sinking wireless from
the sinking Empress of Ireland by Cap
tain Kendall The commander had prev
iouslv sent a brief explanation of his
$. O. S. call, but the speed with which
the liner went down was indicated in
the hasty and abrupt sentences, with
which the wireless flashed the news OF
the tragedy.

GRAY RESIGNS
As JUDGE after
Is Years WORK
continued from First Page.

Continued from First Page,
patton on peace arbitration, and adj
Indicating commissions
His record as member Of the
Paris Peace Commission brought him
into world prominence, and Presi-
dent Mckinley conferred signal
honor upon him. one Of the foremost
men of the Democratic party, by ap-
pointing him to the Federal bench.
Judge Gray's services in arbitrat-
ing the Pennsylvania coal strike
brought him again into national
prominence, so fair were his rulings
and his decisions as umpire in that
trying controversy After that he
was requested to serve on many arbi-
tration commissions to settle indus
trial disputes, but he uniformly de-
clined, although he from time to time
interpreted points aC issue that crop
ped up beween miners and operators
in Pennsylvania
Judge Gray several times had been
urged for the Democratic nomination
for President, but twice he refused to
permit the use of his name, although
several states were for him.
In national Democratic circles it
often was said that If Judge Gray had
been from a large state he would have
been his party's presidential nominee
years ago.
Judge Gray's record on the bench
was of the highest Possessed of a
judicial temperament and keen
knowledge of the law, he has written
many important decisions. He sat in
the Reading Railway and the Temple
Iron and Coal Company cases in
which important rulings were made
recently.
Before going to the United States
Senate, where he made an enviable
record as a statesman and leader OF
Lis party, Judge Gray was a member
of the law firm of Ward and Gray
/ He now will return to that firm tC
devote some Of his time to legal work
and TO limited practice Before going
to the Senate he was one of counsel
for the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany.
There is some speculation as tc
Judge Gray's successor on the bench
There has been some talk that Judg,
+. G. Bradford may me promoted tc
the Circuit bench, and that a Demo
crat may be appointed TO the distric
court in Judge Bradford's place
Names mentioned for the iudgeshiI
are Judge Victor B. Woolley. Judge
William II. Boyce, j. Frank Ball i
Harvey Whiteman and William r
LYMAN. However, a judge could b
selected from some other State.
President Wilson should so choose.
Some Democrats recently suggest
ed that Il would be fitting for thoi
party to urge Judge GRAY for m
