Disastrous Tragedy Of the Em-

Investigated
CENTER ON TWO POINTS
Sixty Witnesses Called and a
Host of Counsel Will Be In
Attendance.
CTT&C ;Sews aerriceD

Quebec, June l7.-With practically
all the witnesses and u host Of cOun-
sci in attendance, the court of inquiry
the British jurist, began its investiga-
ton of the st. Lawrence river disas.
ter, In which the Canadian Pacific
steamer Empress Of ireland sank and
more than 1000 persons lost their
lives.
Tho inquiry is eAlccted to center
about two main points, these being the
question Of the International rules de
signed to prevent collisions and the
action taken by the captain OF the
StOrstad, the steamer which colltded
with the Empress of Ireland, subse-
quent to the disaster.
1t is expected that counsel for the
owners and officers OF the Storstad
will contend that when tho two yes
sells sighted each other the Storstad
was off the starboard bow Of the EN-
press of Ireland and, according to the
rules Of the sea, the Canadian Pacific
liner was bound TO keep out OF her
way
Emphasis may also be laid on the
fact that the faster vessel, the EN-
press of Ireland, was going down
stream and the Storstad coming up.
AS to events following the collision,
the representatives for the Storstad
will offer testimony to show that the
collier heard the cries of the dying
and whistled repeatedly to the Ep-
press, but received no reply and i'm
mediately lowered boats 10 engtfge in

The government has subpenaed be-
tween 60 and 70 witnesses and the in

Automobile Collides with Swiftly
Moving Train.

Tabor, Dec. 22.-To run into a
swiftly moving passenger train with
his automobile, in which himself, his
wife and 2-year-old child were riding
and escape without any of the occu-
pants of the machine being injured
or killed, was the thrilling experience
OF Robert A. Dvoracek, a young farm
er living near Tabor. He had just
purchased the machine and was TAX
ing his wife and infant child for q
spin when he approached the railroad
crossing. The train was rapidly APP
preaching and at this critical june
ture the young farmer lost control of
the machine and it ran full-tilt into
the passenger train. Fortunately the
automobile was not thrown under
the wheels of the train, but il was
thrown off the high grade. The train
was stopped and the crew hurried
back to the scene of the accident, ex-
pecting to find that some at least of
the occupants of the automobile had
been killed. But when they were
rescued from under the automobile ii
was found that none of them had suf-
fered injuries.

FACING BIG SUITS
Mellette Officials Alleged to Have
Drawn Money I'm Excess of
Salaries.

White River. Dec. 22.-Mellette
county was organized in May, 1910,
and the county commissioners fixed
many of the salaries at about the
500 per month mark for the ten
months. until January. 1913, when
the salaries were reduced to about
$50 per month, according to the law
fixing same.
During the last two years suits
have been threatened to the
money paid in excess as salaries, but
nothing definite was done in the mat
ter until States Attorney C. NJ. Kell
made a written demand for the re-
turn of all money received in excess
OF that amount allowed by law and
this week served a summons and
complaint on each of the officers,
thus beginning an action in the cir
cult court TO recover from $240 to
81. 200 from each officer. 1t is claim
ed that the salaries are fixed by act
of the legislature and that said sal
aries should be determined by either
the population or assessed valuation
or both. The officer defendants claim
that no census nor valuation was ac-
cessible at the time that Their sal
aries were fixed and that the county
commissioners had a right to fix d
reasonable salary for the services
performed.
The outcome OF this EAST will BIZ
watched with interest, as 1t will prob.
ably determine the action in many

been received from Congressman
Charles II. Burke by a prominent f.
nancial man of Aberdeen in which
Mr.. Burke states hat the general

Mr.. Burke states that the chief law
clerk of the general land office visit
ed the reservation last summer, going
over the reservation very thoroughly
in company with j. w. Harris of Mo-
bridge and others.

office to have any registration and
drawing for claims for this opening
as was the case several years ago,
when the Cheyenne reservation was
opened to settlement, but the plan
followd out last year in connection
with the opening of the Crow reser-
walton in Montana will be adopted.
This plan is substantially that APP
plicants will be permitted to file their
applications for the land they desire
to enter. and where there are more
than one application for the same
quarter section of land. the appli-
cants will draw lots to determine
which one is to have the land in
question.
Mr.. Burke states that since arriv-
ing at Washington he has been la.o
up with an attack of rheumatism and
since getting out has been able to
get around only with the aid OF
crutches.

Whether his escape from the asy'

the question of returning Thaw on the
