the position OF green to green, az
claimed by Captain Kendall, or red to
red, as claimed by Mr.. Tuftenes, the
fog shut the out from each other.
and it is while they were both envel-
oped in this fog that the course of one
ltsiOn brought about. From the EVIL
dence adduced on behalf of both yes
sells. 1t Is plain that before the fog
and when they last saw each other
there was no risk of collision If each
kept her course. Therefore, the ques-
ton as to who is to blame resolves
itself into a simple issue, namely,
which of the ships changed her course
during the fog?"
Not Wilfully Changed.
There is in our opinion no ground
for saying that the course of the EN-
press of Ireland ever was changed In
the sense that the wheel was wilfully
moved; but as the hearing proceeded
another explanation was prOpOunded,
namely that the vessel changed her
course, not by reason of any wilful al
terations of her wheel but in conse-
quence of some uncomfortable move
ment which was accounted for at one
time on the hypothesis that the steer
ing gear was out Of order and at an
other time by the theory that, having
regard to the fullness of the stern of
the Empress of Ireland, the area OF
the rudder was insufficient Evil
dence was called in support Of the ex-
PLANTATION.
The principal witness on tho point az
to the steering gear was a man named
Galway, one of the Quartermasters or
thu Empress. He said that he reported
the tanning incident to Williams. the
second officer on the bridge (who was
drowned) and to Pilot Bernier. He
said he also mentioned the matter to
Qrartermaster Murphy, who relieved
him at midnight. Pilot Bernter and
Murphy were called and they denied
&c lway had made any complaint what
ever to them about the steering gear
Galway gave his evidence badly and
made SO unsatisfactory a witness that
we cannot rely on his testimony. Some
evidence was called. however, to con-
firm Galway's. This was the evidences
Of three men and the pilot from an
other Norwegian collier called ths
Alden at the time under charter to the
Dominion Ceal company who were the
charterers Of the Storstad."

ST. LOUIS WAS sGENI1 OTe Nf Arry HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE BATTLES

Forty-one years ago today. on Sept. &S, 1873, St. Louis fans witnessed the last battle for the heavy weight cham pionship to De staged in the Mound City. which for more than 8. decade had been the great battling ground of American pugiIisrn. This fight was between Mike McCoole the Iumber- ing giant, and Tom Allen, an English man by birth and an American by adoption. Allen was thet victor in seven rounds, and thus regained the laurels he had lost and became the recognized champion of America.
 Maryland and Canada were the pugflistic centers in the early days of the American ring, although New York Pennsylvania and California, al : so witnessed some important scraps. In the early 6 0s the sentiment against the game became so powerful in the east that the bare-knuckle bruisers had to transfer their activities to the welcomed the outIaWed gladiators. Joe Worna1d. the English champion, led the St Louis invasions and was fol- lowed by Tom Allen, Jen Mace and many other stars of the British ring. Worma1d soon retired and settled in Montreal. later removing to Quebec. where he became insane and died Mike McCooIe defeated Bill Davis for the American title on an island near the Missouri metropolis in 1866, stop ping the Californian in thirty -four rounds Tom Allen fought his first battle on this side Of Chatteau island, l St Louis. in 1869, when he whipped Bill Davis, who still claimed the title. ] Allen then defended his title, also, at the Mound City. against Charlie Gal lagher of Cleveland The Chilean was the yfcteFs sbllt. in a subseauent St Louis meeting Allen proved his su- l periority. In 1869 Mike McCoo1e l again became obstreperous, and Alien accepted his challenge, the battle talk l ing place on an island in the Daddy ! of Waters, near St. Louis. Allen was the better man, but gang of Mound City toughs, such as always assem b1ed l at these bouts, un1imbered their ar sI tiIIery and forced the referee to award the victory to NTcCooIe on foul. They fought again in 1878, and this time the decision was on the square. and 1 Allen won an easy victory. After this the tide of public opinion in St Louis turned so strongly against the game that the authorities put an end to 1t, and the fighters had to seek other bat tie grounds. The actions of the toughs at many of the St. Louis bat ties were so disgraceful that the sport received a setback in that section from which it has never fully recovered.

GAS CONSUMERS
USERS OF LUXURY
ASSERTS JESSUP
Attorney for L. HI. & p. Com
pany Pleads With Review
Board to Lower Assess
ment From $325,OOO.
Points Out Heavy Expense
of Local Plant Kept From
Receivers Hand by Parent
Concern.

Consumers Of gas and electricity are
users of luxuries, according to the
president of the Richmond Light, Heat
and Power company.
This was the statement of Wilfred
Jessup before the board of review to-
day in an effort to secure a lower
assessment on property. The assess
ment of $325.00 remains unchanged.
Mr.. Jessup objected to the fact that
the assessment of the Light, Heat and
Power company's property in the city
of Richmond is more than the assess
ment of property of the Richmond City
Water Works company in the city
The Water Work company dis
penses with a necessity on which il
has a monopoly" Mr.. Jessup said
THE power company sells a luxury
On gas we enjoy monopoly, but on
electricity we have competition Of an
efficient plant which is exempt from
taxation. By paying taxes We are
even helping pay our rival company
for electricity used in street lights
Company's Expense Heavy.
Mr.. Jessup said the company has
been under heavy expense and had il
not been for the United Gas and Elec
trio corporation, the controlling com
pany, it would have been in the hands
OF a receiver long ago He also de
| clared that in order to induce consum
ers to use gas for heating purposes
the company was installing furnaces
free, equipment and labor costing from
SO to $12
Conditions found at the plant of the
! company when Nimrod Johnson and
others made night investigation
were described as revolving. The en-
glneer was found asleep at midnight
when it was vitality important that he
watch the engines and gas tanks
For all he knew, the whole plant
might have been blown up Mr.. Jes
sup said. 1--WE waited until he awoke
and then gave him a ticket to draw
his pay in full We have now re
organized the plant along lines of eff
| cheney, and expect to stay in the game
and make money. We anticipate a
fifty per cent increase in the consump
ton OF gas next winter, as we can heat
| house as cheaply with gas as with
81 coal.
Would Pay $4,000.
Under the contemplated tax of next
year the Light, Heat and Power com
pany will pay tax of $4,000, while
the tax of the Water Works company
will be about $12,6O0
The $32e,OO0 assessment is divided
into three taxing districts as follows
Richmond, $324,210; Wayne township
$40; Spring Grove, $3.50.
The $425, 900 assessment of the Wat
er Works company is divided as fol
lows: Richmond, $278,19O; Wayne
township, $144,110; Spring Grove, 50,
700
The board of review figured the
amount of taxes from these assess
ments on a basis Of a $3.50 rate in
Richmond, $2.02 in Spring Grove, anG
$2.38 in Wayne township.
No action was necessary, the board
merely moving to adjourn after con
sidering the Light companys assess
| ment. The assessment as it now
stands was officially fixed last Friday
