SYSTEM is CALLED UNFAIR

ing" Board.

Washington, June 2.-Asserting
that naval officers retired by pluck
ing boards" now draw pay of nearly
100000 annually without giving any
return to the government. Representa-,
tive Britten of Illinois has introduced
bill to authorize the secretary of
the navy to utilize the services of Off

Representative Britten, who Is con-
ducting fight in congress to elimi.
nate the naval plucking board. says it
is not only unbusinesslike and unnec-

the government which educated the
officers at great expense, to have to
pay those "plucked" without any re-
turns.

IDENTIFICATION OF THE DEAD
Work Accomplished More Rapidly
Than Expected.

Quebec, June 2.-Identification OF
the deaa from the wreck of the Cana
dian Pacific steamer Empress of lre-
land is being accomplished more rapid
ly thar was expected Nearly 100 of
the 1873 bodies brought here by the
Lady Grey thus far have been claim
ed by friends and relatives. This is
in addition to the eighteen bodies
identified at Rimouski.
Among those identified are Sir Hen
ry Seton-K arr, the big game hunter;
DR. T.. A. Barlow, a leading geoiogist
of Canada, and Mrs. w. Leonard Pal
mer, wife of a London newspaper
man. Nearly a score of members of
the Salvation Army have been claimed
from among the dead.
When the Lady Grey, escorted by
the British warship Essex, arrived in
Quebec bluejackets from the Essex
acted as pallbearers. The bodies
were placed on long tables draped in
black and white in the funeral shed
which had been prepared for their re-
ception. The pier shed was heavily
draped In black and over the windows
sheets were fastened to shut out the
view of the curious and the morbid.
On the wharf as the ship docked
was a throng of officials, newspaper
men, photographers and moving pic
ture men, while outside sorrowing
crowd awaited admittance to search
for their dead.
Survivors Seek Loved Ones.
A number of survivors of the dis
aster were in the crowd, hoping to
find the bodies of loved ones they had
lost when the steamer went down.
Pathetic scenes were witnessed in
that section of the shed in which
twenty-five little caskets lay These
contained the bodies Of babies and lit
tie children.
Several of the bodies of the recov-
cred dead were badly gashed, prob
ably killed In their berths by the force
of the Storstads bow as 1t crashed
into the Empress of Ireland's side,
while nearly all were bruised and
battered from contact with debris.
Additional bodies are being recov.
cred slowly at the scene of the dis.
aster, reports from Rimoush and Ma
tame say. A force Of men Is patrol
ling both sides of the st. Lawrence
river for miles, but thus far with lit
tie success. Many boats are lowering
on the river with the same purpose
In view.
There was no change In the official
list of saved and dead. which show
that 41S ersons escaped and 969
were killed or drowned.

WIFE FIRST To
SECURE WEAPON
Family Quarrel Ends in Hus-
band Being Killed.
SPOUSE TELLS Her STORY

Says Husband Reached Under Pillow
to Get His Revolver but She Beat
Him to it-Fres Fatal Shot Before
He Can interfere.
Virginia, Mimi, June deputy
Sheriff Joseph Boyami of Aurora
reached for revolver that he kept
under his pillow, his wife said, while
he was quarreling with his helpmeet,
but she was quicker. She got the
weapon. thrust it against his forehead
and fired, killing him. Low she is in
custody here.
While their two children, three and
five years old, slept in the same room,
Boyami, his wife says, made accusa-
tions against her; she resented them,
and they quarreled until Boyami fell
asleep, apparently partly pacified by
her replies.
But early next morning before the
couple got up the husband renewed
the quarreling, became infuriated in
spite OF his wife's efforts to calm him,
Mrs. Boyami says.
Finally his hand sought the pistol.
His wife anticipated his purpose,
thrust her hand beneath the pillow,
her fingers felt the weapon and, draw
ing it forth, she fired before Boyami
could prevent her. This Is her story
of the killing.

Montreal, June 2.-The sharp point
Of an anchor projecting from the

Pilot Nault, who navigated the
Storstad up the st. Lawrence from
Quebec, said that Captain Andersen
told him that Anderson, his first Off.

the Storstad from Father Point to

time of the collision. One of the Off

by a shock and at first thought the
ship had struck a rock.
Il ran to the deck and looked over
the side. The Storstad was going full
speed astern. The water around was
filled with struggling men and women

dately lowered and there was not a
man on the Storstad who did not do
his utmost to help rescue the peo-
pie"

causing the collapse of many more
buildings. Numbers of the inhabitants
of Kagoshims/w who had returned again
fed In terror from the city. Ashes
are falling thickly.
The volcanoes continued very active
all day and emitted great quantities o.
stones and ashes. Numerous explo-
sions occurred and poisonous gases
were elected making breathing diff
cult. The ernperor's envoy has found
it impossible to make the trip around
Sakura-Jima. There has been some
footing here, The sea in the Gulf Of
Kagoshima seemed to be boiling and
the quantity of floating pumicestone
was so great that it prevented naviga-
ton.
Bluejackets from the Japanese feet
discovered native craft containing l6
refugees from Sakura who were in a
starving condition. They reported that,
owing to the floating masses of pum-
icestone and the high seas, they had
been unable to steer their boat and
had spent three days adrift at the
mercy of the elements and without a
morsel OF food.
The geologist Okada is of the opin-
ion that Sakura-Jima will continue in
eruption for a month.
About seven-tenths of the island is
a desert Of lava and the remaining
land is in such a hopeless condition
that it must be abandoned. Fifteen
hundred OF the 1000 houses on the
