1AO0 ABOARD SHIP.
Most OFF Rescued Are Said To
BE From Crew-Only IL
Women Survivors.

Quebec, May 29.-Not less
than $50 men and women perish
ed in the st. Lawrence river,
when at an early morning hour,
today, the Empress of Ireland
hurrying out to sea, was ram
med and sunk by a coaling ship,
the Storstadt.
A dense fog hung over the
river during the night, making
vision far ahead impossible to
the pilot, when suddenly there
loolmed just ahead a collier low
lying against the water and
heavily laden with coal, which
smashed head-on into the EN-
press.
Amid the shouts of men and
screams of women, there was
great confusion aboard as the
passengers, reused from sleep
by the terrific crash and inn
pact of the two vessels, f1ocked
to the decks, many clad only in
their night clothes. There was
a rush forward for the boats,
and the crew and most of the
men passengers aided in quiet
ing the tumult. The big liner
listed heavily, preventing the
launching of some of the boats
and i'm ten minutes sank, before
many of the passengers had
reached the decks.
Capt. Kendall was the last
to leave the ship and is report
ed to have been picked from the
wreckage by government boats,
which gathered the survivors
from nine life boats.
According to admissions made
at noon by the officials here of
the Canadian Pacific Steamship
linae naOre than 1,400 people,
crew and passengers were a.
board the Empress when clear
ing for Liverpool. Of these, the
Lady Evelyn Eureka rescued 337
but the Storstadt wireless failed
to state how many SURVIVORS
and victims of the disaster were
aboard that ship, which will ar
rive here tonight or tomorrow.
The survivors rushed to Ri
mouski will be brought here

HUNGARIAN REVOLT
STORY DENIED HERE
State Department Has Not Yet
Been Approached BY War
like interests.

Under a Washington date line, a New
York paper today prints dispatch to
the effect that a Hungarian revolution
airy party has representatives in Wash
ington to sound this government as to
its attitude toward a revolution against
Franz Joseph.
John Bassett Moore, First Assistant
Secretary of State, said the story was
Untrue.
Count SzecheRyi is declared in the dis
patches TO be a strong sympathiZfr with
the revolutionary movement that would
separate Hungary from Austria md es-
tahlish a republic. This is generally
taken to mean that the vast Vanderbilt
millions would form the basis of q tre-
mendous war fund. Count Szechenyi is
the husband of the former Miss Gladys
Vanderbilt
During the last two years, it is said,
Count SZechenyi was seeking support
for the revolt while he was in France
and England. France is saiu to have
secretly given promise of moral support
to a movement backed by the count.
1t is further declared two agents of
the Hungarian government are in
Washington, indicating that Franz Jo-
seph Is watching the situation.
The splitting of the Austro- Hungarian
empire would undoubtedly result in a
realignment OF power and alliances in
Europe
The Count Szechenyi, through the
Vanderbilt fortune, which would be at
his command, provided his wife aspired
with him in such a venture, would be
a firm basis for the establishment Of a
war fund.

one, while another woman star. Christie
Macdonald, will, according to the press
agent, allow her winning personality
to pervade'' the operetta, "Sweethearts," :"
at the National.
AS IL this was not quite enough to
justify the classification "Woman's
Week." there will be change at Polls
by which the present leading woman
makes her departure for what the man
arement officially terms a vacation,
ana Miss Frances Nelson opens an IN
definite engagement
Oddly enough. not only is the woman
element also :nterjected strongly @ my
the Keith program, but the feature aCls

been featured in such big productions as

doings of the kind of family we see IN
our everyday living and going ABOUT

ton Of our population.
The name of the play and also the
element of trouble in II is furnlsheo py
the wife having always TO ask her nus
band for money every time she wants
TO pay a butchers bill or BUY piece Vi
ribbon.
The climax of the play is brought
about through the adjustment or talse
ideals TO actual conditions, which must
have a melodramatic touch, for the
progress of the piece is wake OF mis-
understanding and heartache
when IL is an settled the family is
much wiser family than it ever was
