PITIFuL SCENES ARE ENACTED

Photographed.
Quebec, June l. Stretched in three
rows in low ceiling pier shed were
1873 black, brown and white pine cof-
fms containing 1873 bodies, less than
cne-fifth of the victims of the coils
sion between the Empress of Ireland
and the Collier Storstad. twenty-five
of those collins covered with white
satin had bodies of babies. AL had
Just arrived from Rimousn1.
At the heads of those forty lines
of collins stood lines of men and wo-
men, many survivors, looking for rela-
tiyes and friends. Each coffin lid was
lifted by one of the searchers while
others crowded close to get glimpse
at the body in the coffin.
Suddenly a woman or a man or the
muff1ed scream of woman broke the
silence: ooh, Mary" "My husband"
or some name Of endearment was ut
tered. A stalWart man bent forward
and kissed the gashed forehead of his
wife. A woman would fail fainting on
the coffin she had just raised. Thus
it went on all day long until forty
eight bodies were identified.
By nightfall there were twelve other
bodies of partially identified which the
relatives were not sure because of
their bruised condition.
Nearly All Eear Marks.
Almost every body bore marks of
violence. There were bodies of wo
men whose heads were split open OF
gashed. 1t is possible that women
running from their state rooms in the
darkness of the collision ran against
stanchions or were hurled against the
wounds also indicated that some of
the women had been crushed when
the collier buried her steel nose in
the side of the Empress.
Officials in Rimouski have said
that the bodies of the women shove d
that several of them had been stab
bed. At any rate, it was apparent by
a glance at the shrouds that had been
placed on the bodies Of both men and
women that there were other wounds
not disclosed on the faces.
2O9 Bodies Recovered.
In addition to the 1873 bodies re.
ceived here Fl had been identified at
Rimousk and shipped to the homes
o. relatives That makes 209 bodies
recovered out of a total of 1000 VIC
tins The probability is that the re-
mainder will never be identified, far
the current will sweep them out to a
watery grave. If the Empress is
raised, many other bodies trapped in
their staterooms will be recovered,
but there is question as to whether
the ship will be raised
The t)dies not identified will be
kept for a few days longer. Then they
will be photographed by representa-
tives of the Canadian Pacific and
buried in graves marked unknown"
by that company. The prospects are
that few more will be identified. All
the bodies that have been recovered
have been shipped from Rimouski.

TAMMANy MEN HESITATE
ABOUT SEEING PRESIDENT
Some New York City Democrats in
House Fear Mr.. Wilson Will Make
Capital Out of Visit.

New York democrats in the House OF
Representatives will think twice be-
fore they make a pilgrimage to the
White House to assail the President
with the statement they must be recog-
nized or they will quit supporting him.
Following the issuance of the Fitz-
gerald statement Wednesday. many of
the strongest Tammany men in the
delegation have had serious conversa
tions with one another. and the pres
ent situation is such that 1t would not
be improbable II the Fitzgerald plan
should be modified considerably before
Monday, the day of the delegation
meeting.
One of the strong Tammany men.
who believes he can be reelected by
the organization, whether or not the
administration helps him. said today:
"It is possible for US to go to the
White House end lay our complaint be-
fore the President. We can tell him
what we will do and what We won't do.
Then he can make a reply in that clear
and classic English of which he has
so fine a command. and it will be
nothing more or less than giving Tam
many the cold shoulder. If he does
that it will be a fine piece of popular
politics for him, in view of the mis-
taken prejudice against Tammany Hall
all over the country Now l. for one,
do not propose to allow him to take
any such advantage at my expense"
Divided as to Procedure.
This view is shared by several men
in the delegation. On the other hand.
Representative Levy wants to see the
entire state delegation visit the White
House. Representative Fitzgerald lis
satisfied to propose the city of New
York men. and others want committee
of two or three to tell the President
their woes.
puzzled at the Presidents attitude to-
ward them. especially in view of the
fact that they represent twenty demo-
cratic votes-a large chunk" in these
days when the administration needs
every vote it can get at times. The
Tammany men explain the attitude Of
the President by saying he has been in
f1uenced by some of the upstarts in
New York politics. Speaking Of the ad-
ministrations hopes in the New York
elections in the fall, a prominent New
York democrat said today:
"McAdoo and Burleson believe they
can go into New York and carry things
their own way. Burleson doesn't know
the first thing about the way the game
in Texas, but on 9Th avenue they want
something beside Texas oratory."
President Wilson has been told the
New York democrats may call on him.
He has expressed himself as extremely
willing to talk to them.

S. DUFF DIES
FROM FALL AT HOTEL
Victim of Accident at Hancock, Nd,
Succumbs in Hospital
Here.

Francis s. Duff, salesman for local
automobile company, who was brought
from Hancock, Md, yesterday afternoon
and taken to George Washington Uni
versity Hospital suffering from frac-
ture of the skull and other injuries, re-
ceiyed as a result of a fall from the
fourth story of the Hotel Monterey.
died at 9:20 o'clock this morning with
out regaining consciousness.
Coroner Nevitt made an investigation
and gave certificate OF accidental
death. The police notified the Maryland
authorities Of the fatal termination Of
the accident, but it is hardly likely that
an inquest will be ordered at Hancock.
Relatives of the dead man are in
censed over the delay in administering
treatment to him. 1t is stated that the
unconscious man was seen lying on the
pavement more than two hours before
anything was done for him, those who
saw him saying they had no idea he
had been hurt
On his way to Hancock. it is stated,
Mr.. Duff went by way Of Darnestown,
Md, where his wife and child were
spending the summer. He stopped long
enough to visit them, and was on his
way to Cumberland, stopping at Han
cock over night, when the accident hap
pened.
One shoe of the salesman, it is stated,
was found on the pavement and the
other on the window sill of the room
he occupied, and it is stated, the finding
of the shoes in those places was looked
upon by persons in Hancock as suggest
ing a possible mystery.
Relatives of the dead man say there
was nothing mysterious suggested by
the whereabouts of the shoes; that Duff
invariably put his shoes on the window
sill every night, and they think one Of
them was accidentally knocked to the
pavement when he toppled out of the
window.

ments From Shenandoah Valley.

Existing freight rates on apples from
the Shenandoah valley and the eastern
slope Of the Blue Ridge mountains in
Virginia to New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington were held by
the interstate commerce commission to-
day to be not unreasonable. In dismiss
ing joint petition of Virginia producers
and New York q ,.ers for reduction OF
rates and reparation, the commission
made this general ruling:
THE fact that a carrier has published
rates which contravene the long and
short rule without authority therefor Is
award of reparation. in the absence OF
proof of damage to the shipper.
