tinguished British jurist. began today its
investigation OF the disaster in the St
Lawrence river In which the Canadian
Pacific steamer Empress Of ireland sank
and mcre than thousand persons lost
their lives.
The inquiry 10 expected TO center about
two main points, these being the ques-
ton Of the International rules aimed to
prevent collisions and the action taken
by the captain Of the Storstad. the steam
er which collided with the Empress Of
Ireland, subsequent to the disaster. 1t is
expected that counsel for the owners and

Future OF Business High School.
Supt. Thurston outlined the future
which he saw for the Business High
School. He said 1t was proposed to
make study Of conditions In the
business world. and where It was seen
that there was required talent for some
special work 1t was the intention to
install 1t as a part Of the business
high course SO that the business gfadu-
ates could go right out and take up
the special work.
These diplomas which you are about
to receive you should consider as foun-
dation upon which to build well. There
are opportunities to do a service to the
that performed by any professional man
outside Of the business world. Learn
early in your life to deal fairly with all
men. There are setbacks and failures.
Many Of these are due to little things
some from not giving enough time to
some from watching the clock too much.
1t would be well for you to follow tho
course of a Chinese marksman when he
missed the target. He did not blame the
target or the gun. He blamed it on him
self, turned around and looked himself
over to find out what the trouble was.
Therefore. when any of you find any
thing going wrong just turn around and
look at yourself and you probably will
find the trouble to remedy"

Feature of the Exercises

Urging the graduates of the four-year
class of the Business High School TO

doors of opportunity to all, former

their individual success and for the
success of the government. The ex-
ercises were held in the auditorium of
the Business High School at 9Th street

Following the graduation exercises the
corridors of the school looked more
like the scene of wedding than a
scene of graduation. for rice was every

shower of it for more than ten minutes,
all aimed at Miss Agnes Marie Gas

ton. Rev. Richard Schmidt pronounced

The future of the proposed pro-

Canton. China, May l5.-Ordinary
acts of piracy, which occur frequent
ly in the rivers and canals in this
.section-were completely eclipsed re-
Gently when the Norwegian steam
ship Childar was plundered on the
high seas.
1t was bold enough to recall to
the western world the days of Cap
tain Kidd, zoo years ago. and it was
a rare case even for these waters.
The number of foreign warships
constantly cruising up and down the
China coast and the fact that many
of the merchant ships carry rifles
and ammunition generally deter the
Chinese from such acts of boldness,
for they are given short shrift when
caught. In the early days of the
British settlement at Hongkong,
scores of pirate junks were captured
and sunk; there are records of forty
and fifty being sent to the bottom
in a day.
The Childar was captured in
very simple way. About fifty pirates
went aboard the ship at Hongkong,
as ordinary steerage or deck" pas
senge.s, bound for places up the
coast. There being altogether 200
Chinese making the journey, no no.
tice was taken of them.
They were evidently a little nerv-
Gus over the enterprise, and soon
reused the suspicious of the bona
fide Chinese passengers by their
restlessness and earnest conversa-
tions in little groups. Seeing that
they were being watched they put
their plans into execution soon
er. evidently, than they had intend
ed, but with complete success.
About forty miles out of Hong
kong they whipped out their revolv-
ers and rushed the officers. There
were six white officers, aud none of
them were armed or within the
reach of weapons. The second Off
Ger, who was on the bridge. tried to
give the alarm to the others below
and was promptly laid senseless with
the butt of pistol. Otherwise no
bodily injury was done.
On their arms, so that they should
know one another, the pirates wore
/ bands similar to those worn by the
Chinese reyolutionists two years ago.
There were characters on the bands.
