TOLD TALE OF ROBBERY.
Fred Peppin of Mortified Says He Lost
Watch and Roll.

Fred Peppin of Northfeld wandered
back from asphasia this morning to find
himself in the hands of his best friends,
the police. Emerging from his long so
journ in Never.never land, Peppin looked
about for his watch and roll but found
them not. Somewhere in that mystic
country which is only a memory with
Peppin now, his Bohemian friends are
counting his loss but gain. Peppn's
first arrest of the week came Sunday.
He paid a first offense fine in municipal
court Monday and departed Since then
he isn't sure about what happened, nor
can he remember that Chief Sinclair took
charge of him yesterday as he slept in
one of our ball parks. All night at po-
lice headquarters, Peppin ragged around
the cell, requiring constant watching
from a special officer
day he pleaded guilty to a second
offense before Magistrate II. W. Scott
and before sentence was passed he told
the court officers a few things that may
prove material when the time comes for
locating the watch and roll. Peppin al
lowed he would 90 back to Northfeld
and stay in the prohibitionist camp for
all time, so Judge Scott suspended 30
day sentence. allowed him to sign the
pledge for a year and pay costs. Now
the officers have net out for the men
who lifted Peppin's timepiece and some
S25 in bills.

VANITIE BEAT RESoLUTE.
But Both Cup Yachts Proved Themselves
Fast Boats.

Rye, n. Y, June 3.-Heeled under a
stiff northwest breeze until even her
bronzed underbody gistened in the late
afternoon ike FURNISHED gold, Alexan-
der S. Cochrans Nanitie flashed across
the finish line, winner over the Reso-
lutte BY l6 minutes, 4s seconds, in the
first race for the Americas cup defense
candidate yachts on Long Island sound
yesterday.
Although the official time allowance
given the Resoute by the Vanitie is
known only to the cup committee, it is
estimated that the Resolute is in receipt
OF approximately three minutes, 35 sec
onds, time allowance so that the approx
innate corrected time over the loser was
close to l3 minutes, l3 seconds.
Yachting experts are not inclined to
concede a repetition OF this victory of
the Gardner designed sloop over the
Herreshoff creation, for the 20-mile race
over triangular course was sailed un-
der extremely huky weather conditions
and the adherents of the flag officers
yacht are confident that to-day's race
will be another story.
The meeting of the Resolute and Van
drew yachtsmen from all parts of the
eastern coast, and although the third
candidate, the Defiance, was unable to
start as originally intended, the duel be-
tween the Herreshoff and Gardner sloops
was one that thrilled. Thousands fol-
lowed the yachts twice around the tri
angle in steam yachts, sailing craft,
motorboats and excursion steamers.
The spectators say two of the three
single stickers built for the purpose of
defending the Americas cup against Sir
Thomas Lipton's challenger Shamrock
", tried out under fluctuating weather
conditions. The breeze ran the gamut
from a puffy little air to a stiff blow
that heeled the 75-footers over until
their keels were visible in the blue wa
ters of the sound.
And when the fleet Of private Yachts
and excursion boats headed away from
the finish line, it was the consensus of
opinion that two worthy defending can
didates had demonstrated their prowess,
with still another vet to show its speed.
Consequently, the reputed wizard like
skill Of Designer Nicholson of the Sham
rock did not appear so fearsome as here
tofore.

ing to depend entirely upon the wishes

dred federal troops are bottled up in the

According to Official State
ment of Canadian
Pacific Co.
TOTAL OF RESCUED
IS ALSO INCREASED
Storstad Collier, Unloaded,
Shows Stem Twisted AL
most in Half Circle

Montreal, June 3.--An official state
ment given out by the Canadian Pacific
Railway Co., to-day gives the totaI
number of persons lost in the Empress
of Ireland disaster as l,024. The total
number of saved is now given as 452
which is 80 more than the former figures
The collier Storstad, which rammed
the Empress of Ireland, completed un-
loading her heavy cargo OF coal yester-
day and it was possible to make a thor
ough inspection of her bow shattered
by the collision. Ii was seen that her
stem was twisted so much to starboard
that it almost formed half circle,
Some of the loyer-most plates in her
bow also were twisted to starboard and
torn away.
The condition of the Storstad's stem
is pointed to in connection with Captain
Anderson's claim that when the col
lision with the Empress of Ireland oc-
Cured it was impossible for the col
lier's stem to remain in the hole because
ii was twisted by the forward move
ment of the Empress
The Canadian Pacific railway officially
stated last night that the funeral of the
members of the crew of the Empress of
ireland, who lost their lives in the dis
aster and whose bodies have not been
claimed, viii take place on Thursday at
ten o'clock at Quebec The Canadian
Pacific will bear the expense.
According to the statement OF Mon
trea postofiice officials, the heavy reg
istered mail amounting to 1903 pack
ages, which went down on the Empress
is a total loss and there will be no COM
pensation for the senders or addresses
of these packages.
Those who sent money orders to Eu-
rope which were lost on the Empress
however, will not be out OF pocket as
duplicates of the money orders held in
Ottawa, will be copied and dispatched
to London, The parties concerned viii be
paid the money at their nearest post
office II is estimated that over $4,000
in money orders went down in the st.
Lawrence in the mail bags.

strike last night when all but two OF
three members of Hose 2 and Ladder |

count of pay. For some time the pay OF
the call men has been S35 a year They
asked for an increase to S45 a year some
time ago. At the last meeting OF the
city council. after prolonged session
in which there was a deadlock over in
creasing the pay S. or $40, it was voted
TO make the pay $40 a year, Mayor
Niekerson voting in favor OF that figure

hard runs at all times of day and night,
and that the present pay is not enough
for the wear and tear OF clothes and
personal equipment, besides the risk of
life and limb.

panies leaves the upper section of the
city protected only by two companies

Others prominent in capital life.
