SeemstoUpholdClaim
OF Golfers Captain
That the Empress
Moved Away
Funeral Of Unclaimed Bodies
To Be Held Thursday

Montreal, June 1.-The collier Stors-
tad which rammed the liner Empress
of ireland in the st. Lawrence, caus-
ing the loss of more than 900 lives,
completed unloading her heavy cargo
of coal today and it was possible to
make a thorough inspection of her
bow, shattered by the shock of the
collision. 1t was seen that her stem
was twisted so much to starboard,
that it almost formed a half circle.
The condition of the Storstad's stem
is pointed to in connection with Capt.
Andersen's claim that when the col
lision with the Empress of Ireland
occurred it was impossible for the col
lier s steam to remain in the hole be-
cause it was twisted by the forward
movement of the Empress. The StoTs-
tai is still in the possession of the
bailiff
The Canadian Pacific Railway off,
cially stated tonight that the funeral
of the members of the crew of the
Empress of ireland, who lost their
lives in the disaster and whose bodies
have not been claimed, Will take
place Thursday morning at quebec
The Canadian Pacific will bear the ex-
pense. According to the statement OF
Montreal post office officials the reg
istered mail which went down on the
Empress is a total loss and there Will
be no compensation for the senders or
addresses of these packages. The pos
tai regulations provide that the de-
partment is only responsible for reg
istered mail actually lost in the mail.
Notices are now being sent out oy
the Montreal post office to the ex-
change offices in all parts of the world
notifying them of the loss of the mail
and providing a list of the registered
letters.
Those who sent money orders to
Europe which were lost on the En-
press, however, will not be out or
pocket as duplicates of the money or
ders held in OTTAWA will be copied and
dispatched to London The parties con-
cerned will be notified and paid the
money at their nearest post office.
