Speed of Empress and
StOrstad Points at
Issue Between
Officers
Empress Officers Failed to See
CoIored Lights

Quebec, June 17.-Testimony today
before the Dominion Commission in
vestigating the collision between the
steamship Empress of Ireland and the
Collier Storstad brought out state
ments that officers on the bridge of
the Empress failed to see the colored
running lights of the collier even when
she was only so feet away and that
the officers on both vessels failed to
. hear the whistled signals blown just
before the crash.
The officers of the Empress contra
dicted those of the Storstad in regard
to the speed of each of the ships. The
first officer of the Storstad, Alfred
Tuftenes, swore that the Empress was
making at least 10 miles an hour when
the Storstad hit her, while his vessel
had n Roadway of but one mile an
hour. Capt. Andersen of the Storstad
stated that the fact that the Golfers
nose penetrated he hull of the EN-
press only u feet proved that the
Storstad was not speeding. Loaded as
his vessel was, the captain said she
would cut all the way through the
Empires had she been making 10 knots
or more.
On the other hand Edward Jones and
John Murphy first officer and quarter
master respectively of the Empress, cor
roborated the story told by Capt. Ken
dali to the effect that the Empress was
at a standstill when the collier ran into
her
Butler Aspinwall, acting for the Cana
dian Pacific Railway. owners of the En-
press. extracted the opinion from Tuft-
enes that, according to a diagram which
he had drawn OF the respective positions
of the ships when they saw one another.
he thought the Empress, which was
travelling fast, should have cleared the
Storstad. Mr. Aspinwall tried to prove
by this that the liner was standing still
at the time of the collision as otherwise
she would have passed across the Stor-
stad's bows, but the witness chung to his
contention that the Empress was moving.
Later Mr. AspinwalI sought to show that
before the collier rammed herself
straight into the liner for II feet the
Storstad must have been going at a high
rate of speed while the liner was sta
tionary. because If the collier had been
going slowly the only other way this
could have been accomplished would
have been by the Empress making lee
way and approaching the Storstad side
ways.

Morgan Withdrawal Calls
Attention to Pujo Suggestions

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The an
nouncement of the retirement of j..
P. Morgan and four of his partners
from thirty directorships in twenty
seven corporations and Mr.. Morgan's
reference to the change in public SEN
timent in regard to directorships, has
called attention to the fact that five
important recommendations of the
Pujo committee were already being
put into effect in advance of legisla-
ton requiring them.
They include the abandonment of
fiscal agency agreements, such as ex-
listed between the New Haven and
Morgan & Co.; the abolition of inter
locking directorates, the abolition of
voting trusts, reforms in the Stock
Exchange and reforms in the Clear
ing House
Whether Mr.. Morgan will decide to
withdraw from the directorate of the
United States Steel Corporation was
the subject of a great deal of specu-
lation today. The general opinion
was that as the so-called Steel Trust
was the greatest of the Morgan crea-
tons, and was considered by the
elder Morgan the browning achieve
ment of his financial career, his son

identified with it in an active way,
especially until the government suit
has been decided one way or the
other.
However, the Morgan firm was no
less actively identified with the finan-
cial development of the New York
Central lines, for which Mr.. Morgan
was the banking sponsor throughout
the greater part of his career.
His connection with it dated from
the time of Commodore Vanderbilt
and during the time of William H.
Vanderbilt 1t was through Mr. Nor
gan's influence that English investors
placed enormous sums of money in
the securities of the road. The resig-
nation of the present j. P. Morgan
from the New York Central direc-
torate was one of the most surpris-
ing features of his announcement
yesterday.

CASTE VIOLATION
CAUSE OF MUT|NY
Captain of U. S. Cutter Reports
Mysterious Fight on Brit
ish Steamship.

WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-The story
of the mutiny on board the British
vessel Baron Dalmeny which steamed
out of Philadelphia Christmas Day
for England, but which turned back
when the lights of Cape Henlopen
were still in sight, came out today at
the treasury department in a report
from Captain Johnston, of the reve-
nue. cutter Seneca, which went to the
rescue of Dalmeny's officers and put
a quietus to the revolt.
Captain Johnston reported that the
trouble started among East Indians
In the crew, probably caused by some
violation of the rule of caste which
binds members of that race more
strongly than any law. The crew of
the Dalmeny was made of Lascars,
the firemen were big men from the
Puma district of India, while the deck
crew were smaller men from the
plains.
They began fighting among them
selves about the time the steamer
passed out of the mouth of the Della
ware, and 1t took the combined ef-
forts of the master Ebeu Gordon
and the flourish of revolvers to bring
order. At that there were plenty OF
wounds distributed among the Las
cars, and everybody in the riot was
badly beaten.

ROUMANIAN KING
To AID HEBREWS
Charles Will Regnite Jews for
Valiant Service in Bal
kan War.

LONDON, Jan. 3.-King Charles Of
Roumania recognizes that the exist
ing conditions of the Jews in his
country are unteneble. and has re-
solved to alleviate them, according to
a despatch from Bucharest.
His Majesty today informed the
leader Of the Jewish movement that
he had reached this decision owing
TO the fact that so many Jewish
soldiers participated in the recent
Balkan war. As a constitutional
monarch, however, he said he must
first come TO an understanding on
the subject with the legislative
bodies.
The question Of the persecution Of
the Jews in Roumania. of whom there
are about 270. 600 among the popula-
ton of 1850 600, has given rise to dis
cussions in various parliaments of
Europe and also in Congress at
Washington. On the last occasion on
which it was brought forward in the
Austrian parliament. on Dec. II.
Count Won Berchthold. the foreign
minister. said there was no likelihood
Of foreign powers taking any direct
action in the matter. which was re-
garded as a purely domestic one for
Roumania.

FERRIS RESENTS
u. S. INTERVENTION
Governor Says That Michigan
Should Have Had a Chance
to Settle Meyer Affair.

BIG RAPIDS, Mich, Jan. 3.-Gov-
ernor Ferris was plainly disappointed
when he learned this forenoon that
the department of justice had ordered
Edward ]. Bowman, acting United
States district attorney at Grand
Rapids, t. investigate the alleged de-
portation of Charles II. Meyer, presi
dent of the Western Federation of
Miners, from the Calumet copper
mining district.
TT is strange they could not let us
attend to that business, at least, until
we fell down. said the Governor.
I'm not afraid of Investigations. l
like Investigations, but why shouldn't
We be allowed to attend to our own
affairs? There Is no reason for the
government taking that matter up.
We are merely waiting for Meyer TO
come back and testify"
Last night a telegram received at
Lansing was forwarded here from
John Densmore, of the department of
labor, in which Densmore Informed
the governor that he cannot outline
his proposed strike settlement plan at
the present time. Governor Ferris
said this morning that he could not
discuss what his next step in the case
would be.
Governor Ferris is said to be nearly
worn out as the result of the trying
times of the last few weeks, and he
is spending the weekend at his home
here.
