The plan is simple liz the extreme,
since the cooperation of different
immense firms of the world. allow
for the cataloging OF sources of in
formation. This is indeed the secret
of the possibility of esta blishins such
a remarkable bureau. The IDEA 's
socialIstic in the extreme-every per-
son or firm OF any authority in the
world can be made a member and
therefore a contributor. on The ray-
ment Of a certain fee. while Mr..
Common People. who wish for in
formation which does not require
extensive research work, may have
the same by sending 2-cent stamp
for enclosed reply to the bureau,
The plan unfolds unlimited posi-
biiities for Itself and is of automlt-
that is done-the more proportion

Possibilities Stupendous.
The library had its beginning
more than fifteen years ago, but ii
was not until 1912 that the co-opera-
tive library was established. G. W.
Lee, Iibranian of Stowe G. Web
ster. of Boston, managing engineers
of public utilities, conceived the idea.
and has put il into effect at his per-
sonal expense.
Mr.. Lee. who was In Washington
recently. said: while the idea and
possibilities presented by the for
nation Of such bureau is stu
pendous, the idea itself is extremely
simple. It aims to put people in
the way of getting what they want.
IT. the first stage the bureau was
little more than a clearing house.
but now il has two paid workers to
enable IL to do the research work
for which the larger concerns pay.
the information directly to the in
Quirer. OF course. We are necessar-
lily only in the cocoon stage. but
We are accomplishing wonders.
"As defined in brief" continued
Mr.. Lee. the bureau is a voluntary
association of persons and organiza-
tons for mutual assistance in the
ascertainment of sources and sup
plies of information. whether these
exist in printed or written form.
or simply as mental equipment, and
whether rendered available by pur-
chase or by loan or bv gift.
Not long ago a history appeared
in book form which has been an
unquestionable success wherever II

The cooperative library presents

own information bureau by giving
what they know in return for what
some one else may know.

and universal cooperation. Mr.. Lee

FATHER POINT, Quebec, May 30
The wireless operator at the station here
Was dozing in a cot in his operating
room between 2 and 3 o'clock when the

land was recorded. 1t is customary
for the operator 10 90 to bed after mid
night when there are no messages TO

that he will be awakened by call for

especially that form of a bureau

with the frequent requests made for

bureau is a sort of middleman, but
without the disadvantages of the

is. therefore, a subtraction OF the
expenses incurred by the middleman
who has to actually handle goods.

NO OCOFF|KS TO HOLD
E. LONG ROWS OF DEAD
Faces Show Only Wonder and
Amusement, Instead OF Hor-
ror of Death.

RIMOUSKI. Quebec. May 3O.-Stretch-
ed out so close together in the pier
sheds that it was impossible to walk
among them without touching the pros
tTate sorms, lay the bodies of 80 vic
Tins of the Empress of Ireland catas-
trophe early today. Not since the Mac
kay-Bennett brought the bodies of the
Titanic victims into Halifax has a SINH
lar sight been witnessed.
Some of the bodies were in coffins,
but most of them were laid out on the
floor of the sheds. a few of them
were covered with clean linen
shrouds, but most were just as they
were taken from the cold river,
garments with which they escaped
from the ship. 1t was a sight that
would strike pity to the heart, and
be unbearably pathetic, il the disaster
we're not so great as to remove all
feeling of personal sorrow.
Faces Show Wonder.
One Of the most astounding features
of the terrible sight was the fact that
many stared open-eyed in death. Most
Of the faces bore a puzzled rather than
a frightened expression. some gave evil
dence of the horror they had gazed
rpon. but in general it seemed that
death must have come so suddenly that
there was little time for fear. II was
as IL most of them had gone to their
death wide wake. amazed and wonder
ing what had happened.
A mother held a little girl tightly
clutched to her breast, as though she
had given her lest strength in an effort
20 save the child. Around the tots
neck was a little chain of gold carrying
q tiny cross.
In another place, there was a woman
about to become a mother and the
-rozen agony on that face told of the
dread that had come before death mer-
cifully relieved ner. There was little
attempt at classifying. and there was
no social grade.
A well-dressed woman the diamonds
on her fingers sIistening oddly in that
eruesome place. lay beside a humble
be a steward. The body of the woman
vas that of Mrs. Gallagher, IF Winni-
nag, who had been identified b. her
son. Cedric Gallagher. one who had
been saved.
Long Rows of Children.
There were many bodies of women.
There were many children also. and
icng rows of men
There had been a great demand for
coffins, but, as Rimouski is not accus-
toned to answer such an awful de-
mand. a few dozen caskets only were
available
MANI of the bodies were cut and
bruised: there were curious wounds. as
though some one had used a knife.
This indicated that many hal been
knocked about when the dg ship was
ripped apart. Many of the bodies were
found with their hands sire .cked high
above the heads. as though the pLJr
unfortunates had made a last spreaI
