NEARLY 1000 DROWNED
Huge Ship Sinks in St. Lawrence
Rver-Many Lives are Lost

Rimousk, Quebec, May 90
Of a total of 1887 persous on
board the Canadian Pacific liner
Empress of Ireland when she
sailed yesterday from Quebec for
Liverpool, 954 were lost when
the liner was rammed by the
Danish collier Storstand and sank
Is minutes later off Father Point
In the St.Lawrence river before
daylight today, according to
revised figures late tonight. Only
433 are known to have been
saved.
OF the 81 first cabin passengers
the late figures show % to have
been saved. Of the 153 in the
second cabin 20 were rescued;
of the us third class passengers
there were 10l survivors, while
237 of the crew of 432 were
brought ashore.
These figures account for the
1876 survivors landed here and
taken bytrain to Quebec, where
they arrived tonight. There: re-
mained here 81 rescued persons,
unclassified, completing the total
of 433 known survivors.
About 800 bodies of dead from
the Empress of Irland lie tonight
in the shed at the wharf here.
Some have been identified and

A Neglected Evil

Despite the efforts of press
and pulpit the cigarette evil is
growing. This fact is manifest
in the last report of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company. This
report shows that the sales of
cigarettes last year Increased to
the extent of 374.OOO.OOO. Do
not mistake. The figures do not
represent the consumption of
cigarettes made by this company
in a year. They stand for the in
crease in number sold to the
trade. The fact is that during
II months past cigarette smoking
in this country increased 20 per
cent. Instead of the evil abating
ii is becoming more of menace
and more than ever a problem
in the social life. 1t has fattened
and grown strong under cover
of diverted attention. The re-
formers have been paying too
much attention to whiskey and
too little TO the cigarette. And
further, the dope habit has been
keeping pace with the cigarette.
