I then rang full speed ahead again when l saw the danger was so great My object was to try to run her ashore to save the passengers Almost inn mediately the engine stopped. the ship filling and going all the time to starboard.
 Captain Anderson - 1t has been said that the Storstad should not have backed out. of the hole made by the collision. She did not do so. As the vessels came together the Storstad's engines were ordered ahead for the purpose of holding her bow against the side of the Empress and thus preventing the entrance of water Into the vessel. The headwuy of the Empress, how ever, swung the Storstad around In such a way as to twist the Stor- stad's bow out of the hole and to bend the bow Itself over to port s

THREE CITIES SURE

MOST BANKS IN
Only 500 Out of 900 In
Country Fail to Accept
New System.

Washington, d. With the re-
turn OF the reserve bank organiza-
tion committee, active work began
today upon the definition of the geo.
tricts and the selection of the cities
for the reserve banks
Under the law the national banks
are required TO enter the system or
eventually give up their charters
and have until February 22nd to
signify their intention to become
members. OF the 1900 eligible banks,
only three hundred remain on the
list of those which have as yet not
taken such action. 1t is understood,
however, the committee will with
hold its announcement of the cities
and districts until the time limit en-
pires for the banks to enter.
Although the committees trip
through the country may have chang
ed its opinion of the proper location
of several of the reserve banks, it is
not doubted here that banks will be
placed in New York. Chicago and ST.
Louis, which are central reserve
cities in the present national bank
system. The location of the others
|is still regarded as an open question.
While the committee is working out
that problem, its members will con

Execution of Cumbre
Tunnel Outlaw.

Washington, ID. C.-Castillo, the
Mexican bandit who wrecked the
Cumbre tunnel and caused the death
lof several Americans, has furnished
the latest knot in the Mexican tangle,
with his capture by United States
troopers in New Mexico. The officials
of three departments of government
are searching the archives for pre-
cedents to determine what they shall
do with Castillo
Diplomatists pointed out that to
eXtradite Castillo to the Constitutions.
alists might b, construed as recog-
lnition of their belligerency. There is
no indication that the Huerta gov
eminent intends asking for the ban
dit. To keep him prisoner in the
United States would permit Castillo
to escape from his crimes in Mexico
for which he cannot be tried in this
country for offenses committed across
the Rio Grande. One way Que seemed
ito be for the immigration authorities
to put the bandit back across the bor-
der, deporting him as an undesirable
alien. In that event Castillo probably
will fall into the hands of Villa and
be executed summarily.

Al others lost their lives, was caps

on the watch having received infor-

The cars were burning when a pas

every life aboard lost. The tunnel
is still burning.
