COLLIER IS HELD
RESPONSIBLE FOR
RIVER DISASTER
Commission Places Blame
on Storstad for Collision
Which Sent Empress of
Ireland to Bottom.

Quebec, July 1.-THE collier 6torstad
was held to blame for the Empress of
Ireland disaster, according to the find
ings of the wreck commission. handed
down today. The commission holds
the disaster was due to the Storstad' s
change of course, ordered by the third
officer without instructions from the
first officer who was in charge of the
collier at the time The Empress sunk
in the St Lawrence on May 80 with a
loss OF more than 1000 lives
The collier's third officer, who was
found responsible. Is Alfred Tuftenes,
who was on the bridge when the crash
occurred The report holds: He was
wrong and Negligent in keeping the
navigation of the vessel in his own
hands and failing to call the captain
when he saw the fog coming on" The
report says the disaster was not due to
any. special characteristics of the st.
Lawrence. It was disaster which
might have occurred in any river in
similar circumstances The report
notes the radical conflict in the testi-
mony of the officers of the Empress
and of the Storstad
Stories Are IrreoonciIIabIe.
witnesses from the Storstad," reads
the report, say they were approaching
SO as to pass red to red while those
from the Empress say they were ap-
preaching so as to pass green to green.
The stories are lrreoonciliable We
have before thought 1t advisable to
found our conclusions almost entirely
on the events spoken of by witnesses
and on their probable sequence In or
der to arrive at solution of the diff
ficulty. The question as to who is to
blame resolves into the simple issue,
which OF the ships changed her course
during the fog. There is In our opinion
no ground for saying that the Empress
changed her course in the sense that
the wheel was wilflllly moved"

HUGE VESSEL TAKES
ITS INITIAL PLUNGE
Latest Addition to American
Navy Goes Down the
Ways Into Fore River-Is
a Sister Ship of the
Oklahoma.

Quincy, Mass, July 11.-Amid cheers
from thousands of throats, one of the
breatest battleships ever built for the
United States or any other country
was successfully launched today at the
yards of the Fore River Ship Building
company. AS the vessel slid off the
ways little Miss Eleanor Anne Siebert,
the 10-year-old niece OF Governor Oddie
of Nevada, broke a ribbon encased bot
tie of champagne over the bow of the
mammoth sea fighter and christened
her Nevada 1t was 1880 o'clock when
the massive hull started slowly down
the incline and few moments later
1t was floating gracefully In the wat
ers of the Fore river
The launching of the great ship drew
to the yards a notable gathering of
distinguished people. In addition to
the official party representing the
state in whose honor the battleship
was named, and which was headed by
Governor Tasker L. Oddie, the notable
guests included Secretary of the Navy
Daniels and Assistant Secretary Roose-
velt. Naval officers from charlestown,
Portsmouth. Newport and other places
Slater TO the Oklahoma.
The Nevada is a sister ship to the
Oklahoma. which was launched on
March 2s last at Camden, N. ]. The
two vesselg are Of the latest dread
nought type and present some features
of interest entirely apart from their
great size In the first place, they
are the first battleships ever built in
which oil will be used exclusively for
fuel purposes. This has enabled the
designer to dispose entirely with coal
bunkers-the oil being carried chiefly
in the double bottom of the ship. The
omission of bunk ers sets free a large
amount of space below decks, which
has enabled the designer to concen-
trate all of the six boiler oompart-
ments at the center of the ship. where
they occupy only 65 feet of her length
Hence it is possible TO use q single
smokestaek, placed Immediately above
the boiler rooms.
The keel of the Nevada was laid
on Nov. A. 1912. At the present time
she is more than 70 per cent completed,
or about 10 per cent more than the
average of such ships at the time Of
their launching. The dead weight OF
the ship as she stands today is up
wards of 1900 tons and she has her
boilers and backing for her armor in
place, There are no guns aboard as
yet. Her displacement will be $1,000

the Capital News has won a great vic
tory and has gained assurance that the

whereby still further reductions may

RURAL FREE DELIVERY ROUTE IS
ESTABLISHED SOUTH Of DEM|NG
Several Other Routes will be PetI-
toned for: Chamber of Commerce
Preparing 10 Demand City Delivery
by Right Of Having Qualifications.

The farmers south of Deming are
to enjoy the privileges of rural free
delivery beginning October !. The
announcement was made early this
week by Postmaster W. +. Foulks.
The petition carrying considerably
more than 100 names had been in
for some time.
THE ROUTE TAKEN
The route is straight south on Sec
ton lines, leaving Deming on the old
grade road to point n mile south
of the old Mountainview postoffice.
There il connects with the star route
serving Waterloo. The return is
made on the section line road two
miles east of the one on which the
departure is made
The success in gaining the route
is much appreciated by the farmers
and by the business interests Of
Deming, since the rapid communica-
ton is of great benefit to both. The
farmers will be able to secure daily
mail and shipments by parcel post.
Examinations will be held in Deming
shortly of which publication will soon
BE- made for carrier for this route.
OTHER ROUTES POSSIBLE
While there are no petitions IN for
other routes, there are several which
are possible. Red Mountain, lola.
lIondale, Mimbres Hot Springs, Fay
wood. and other farming commune
ties possess the qualifications. and
those who live adjacent might just as
well enjoy the benefits which the
government is glad to bestow.
CITY DELIVERY
City delivery for Deming is an
other matter which should receive
the attention of the business inter-
ests of the city. The postoffice has
third more in yearly receipts than
is required, and the streets of the city
are named. houses numbered. and
there is all the pavement necessary.
Rapid communication is necessary TO
the transaction of business, and fa-
cilitates trade in many ways. The
securing of free delivery is an ad-
vantage which the business interest
Of the city should not overlook.
AT a meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the chamber of commerce last
Tuesday the matter of city delivery
was taken up and n petition to the
postmaster general drawn. This
will be circulated at once, and all
requirements met.
