Says Engines Were Stopped When
Fatal Collision Occurred.

Montreal.-The other side Of the
story of the collision in the st. Law
river last Friday morning be-
tween the Canadian Pacific liner En-
press of Ireland and the Norwegian
collie Storstad, which resulted in the
sinking of the liner with the loss OF
more than nine hundred lives. was
told sunday night. The master Of the
Storstad denies the charge that he
was responsible for the disaster.
According TO the statement Of Cap
tain Andersen Of the Storstad, when
the Empress Of Ireland was sighted
and fog shortly afterward enveloped
both vessels, fog signals were eX-
changed and the Storstad's engines
were stopped. When she lost sighi
OF the Empress in the river mists. the
latter's course had been set so that
the vessels would pass each other
safely. The Storstad's course remain
ed unaltered. the statement adds, bu,
when the Empress Of Ireland was next
seen she was close at hand on the port
bow Of the collier and was making
considerable headway.'
Il is declared that the Storstad's en-
gines were at once reversed and that
her momentum was nearly checked
when the vessels came together.

OF CATASTROPHE, SAYS CAP
TAIN OF WRECKED COAT.
Empress Of ireland Was at standstiIl
When Rud Down by Danish Col
Iier and Loss of Lives Charged
Against Stovstad's Captain.

Rimonski, Quebec.-Captain Henry
George Kendall OF the Empress OF
Ireland on Saturday told his version
of the disaster at an inquiry conduct
ed by Coroner Pinaud.
Captain Kendall in substance de-
clared that he had taken all possible
precautions against a collision. His
ship had been stopped, he gave the
requisite signals when the Danish
collier Storstad, which dealt the blow
which sent the Empress to the bot
tom, was still tive miles away, but the
collier had kept on through the fog
which settled down soon after the
two vessels sighted each other and
had rammed the Empress Of Ireland
while the latter was virtually motion
less.
Then, despite his plea to the master
Of the collier that he run his engines
ON full speed ahead to keep the hole
in the liners side plugged with the
Storstad's bow, said Captain Kendall,
the Danish vessel. backed away, the
water rushed in and the Empress
sank.
Following the collision, Captain
Kendall declared, Il shouted to the
Storstad to keep full speed ahead to
fill the hole he had made. He then
backed away. The ship began to fill
and listed over rapidly. When he
struck me l had stopped my engines.

BODIES OF VICTIMS
PILED IN TIERS
WORK OF IDENTIFICATION PRO-
cEEDs SLOWLY, DEAD BEING
CROWDED IN PIER SHED.
Side by Side With Forms Of Grimy
stokers, siIk-cIsd Women With Ears
and Fingers Bearing Costly Gems
are Stark and Stiff.

Rimouski, Quebec.-Piled in tiers in
two crowded pier sheds. 300 dead. IN
cofhned bodies lie unidentified here,
grim evidence OF the Empress Of Ire
land disaster. The work Of identifi-
cation is slow and exceedingly diff
cult, the bodies are piled so close to-
gether, and not more than twelve have
been claimed.
Side by side with the bent forms
OF grimy stokers, silk-clad Women with
ears and fingers bearing costly gems
are stretched, stark and stiff. Little
children are reposing peacefully as
if asleep, while the faces Of scores OF
men and ONE are distorted with ex-
pressions of the horror and fear that
held them as they we're plunged to
their deaths.
Pent in the river hull Of the lost
steamer, or floating down the icy St.
Lawrence must be two bodies for
every one resting here.
Dozens Of the recovered victims are
entirely unclad, while the majority
are clothed IN the few scant garments
il which they slept when the alarm
rang out. There are not enough
shrowds available and by far the
greater number of the bodies lie as
they were picked out of the water.
The identihcations thus far made
came in a rough way, sometimes by
jewels worn by the victims and some
times by papers found in sea-soaked
wallets. Around one mans neck wa.
a little purse containing a number Of
pulpy money order receipts. Th'
money had gone to his mother in
far-off village of central Russia He
was on his way TO visit her wheE
the accident happened.

A TREATMENT THAT HEALS
ITCHING, BURNING SKINS

Don't stand that itching skin humor
one day longer. Go to the nearest
druggist and get a Jar of resinol oint-
ment (50c) and a cake Of resinol soap
(25c). Battle the eczema patches with
resinol soap and hot water, dry and
apply a little resinol ointment
It's almost too good to be true. The
torturing itching and burning stop in
stantly. you no longer have to dig and
scratch, sleep becomes possible. and
healing begins. Soon the ugly, tor
menting eruptions disappear complete
" and for good.-Adv.

AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa
1t is true that nature and a woman's
work nas produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to ~womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever com
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast IS the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health mary of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them
