tached to the presidential yacht May
flower, for the good Of the service"
and the sudden transfer of Lieut..
Archibald H. Douglas from the May
flower to the Asiatic station.
Five enlisted men reported MIR. Lit
tie to Secretary Daniels for misconduct
on board the Mnyfiower. The reports
followed night Of hilarity on the
yacht, which began when the paymas
ter brought two women on board as his
guests. 1t is said they had dinner and
then continued the entertainment until
morning. Lieutenant Douglas was on
duty at the time as officer of the deck.
A seaman, looking thru cabin light,
saw such performances that he report
ed it Immediately to Lieutenant Doug
las. Douglas received the report and
ordered the man forward. He failed to
take any action as officer of the deck
and after he was relieved from duty
went below and Joined the party.
Douglas and Little were two OF the
most popular officers in Washington.
They had entree to the homes OF the
most exclusive families In that most ex-
elusive of all social sets. the old WASH
ington set, as we'll as to all OF the sociai
sets. AS officers of the Maytiower they
had entertained extensively.
The presidents daughters and Miss
Helen Taft have been not infrequent
guests at entertainments on the May
flower. The most popular of Washing
tons charming debutantes of the last
season and the present frequently have
gathered there for dances and dinners.
The two officers have been guests at
the White House. and they have been
guests of the secretary Of the navy as
we'll. Secretary Daniels realized fully
how extremely disagreeable publicity
for this scandal would be to the presi-
dent, and to many Of Washington
most prominent families. He made un-
usual efforts to suppress it.
Newspaper men inquiring at the navy
department records shows that his res
ignation was officially accepted for the
good OF the service" That he was per-
mitted to resign at all was due to the
desire of the administration to keep the
scandal quiet.
Secretary Daniels called into CONSUL
tation and sought the advice Of senior
naval officers. Little and Douglas were
summoned. President Wilson was con-
suited. and the president. while heartily
approving the desirability of avoiding
publicity, insisted that discipline be
maintained, even if it meant the venti-
lation Of the whole affair.

INVESTIGATION OF SINKING OF
EMPRESS OF IRELAND TO BE
THOROUGH.
DEATH LIST INCREASED
By FINAL CHECK OF SAVED
Ono Thousand and Twenty. four Found
to Have Perished When Empress
Wont tDown-Canadians Pleased With
Appointment Of Lord Mersey as
Men,bsr Of Royal Commission.

Montreal June 3.-The rews that
Lord Mersey. who presided over the
British inquiry into the loss Of life OH
the Titanic is to be a member OF the
royal commission appointed to investl-
gate the Empress of Ireland disaster,
was received here with satisfaction.
AS Lord Mersey was president OF the
Titanic commission, it is assumed that
he will be similarly hon pred when the
royal commission meets. The Canadian
members of the commission are CHIEF
Justice Ezekiel Mcleod, of New
Brunswick, and Sir Adolph E. Rou-
thier of Quebec.
The commission will be assisted by
two nautical experts, a marine engi-
neer and a naval architect. Appoint
ments for these positions have not yet
been made.
Inquiry Of Wide Scope.
Just when the commission can begin
it's work still is undetermined, but IT
probably will not be for about ten
days. The inquiry will be Of the wild
est scope and the government will be
represented by counsel. 1t is an
nounced, as it is probable there will be
discussions Of rules Of navigation in
Canadian waters.
Another change has been made In
the number of dead. The latest figures
given out in an official statement by
the Canadian Pacific Railway Steam
ship Company show that 1.024 persons
perished The company has learned
hoe n
the Empress instead Of 1887. as here
tofore stated. Hence the increase In
the death list The total saved Is now
given at 452.
Bodies to es Cared For.
Captain Walsh, marine superinten-
dent Of the Canadian Pacific railway.
arrived here today and issued this
statement:
"The Canadian Pacific railway will
not relax doing all in its power in look
ing after all the bodies 1t may be able
to get. With regard to the possibility
OF raising the Empress Of Ireland the
best possible expert opinion Is being
sought.

owners of the Storstad, In statement
declared that of about 450 persons who
survived the disaster $50 were cared
for on the Storstad. OF these, 225 were
rescued by the crew Of the Storstad,
while thirty others rescued by the
Storstad's men were placed on the
government steamship Eureka. The
lifeboats of the Empress of Ireland are
credited with saving 125 and bringing
them on board the Storstad.
THE Storstad's small boats" Cap
tain Lange says were loaded to the
limit Of their capacity and they ceased
their efforts only when there were no
more to be saved"

when heard him address congress
during the appeal I was dumfounded,"
he said.
II would not believe my ears that one
who had approved the plank and held
up to scorn those who violate their par
ty pledges would take such course. He
gave no reason for repeal. He made no
argument for appeal but with an as
surance-and say this with all defer
ence-with an assurance unbecoming
one SO learned, he asked us to yield
right or wrong.
Another answer of administration
forces to the arguments marshaled
against repeal was made by Senator
Simmons. He argued the exemption of
American coast wise vessels would be a
defamation forbidden by the treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain and unwise as a domestic pol

Rebel. TO Got Ammunition.


Washington. June 3-Five hundred
tons of ammunition for the constitu-
tionalists of Mexico left American
shores from New York yesterday bound
for Tampico.
Information that the steamer Antilla
which recently was fired upon by con-
stitutionalists outside Tampico had
left New York with munitions OF war.
created considerable stir In Washing
ton. The vessel was cleared without
interference on the part of the United
States. Subsequently, 1t was discovered
that an order to prevent clearance Of
such vessels had been delayed. and that
the Antilla had procured clearance
while the Washington government be-
lieved steps effectually mad been taken
to prevent her sailing
The Antilla Is sailing under the Gu
ban flag. UP to the present Tampico
has been regarded as an open port.
The United States however, has sought
to maintain an embargo upon arms to
Mexico across the border and last Fri
day, when 1t became apparent that mu-
nitions Of war for the Mexican revo-
lutionists were being prepared for
shipment from New York. an order was
issued by the state department to pre-
vent clearances of vessels bearing
arms for any Mexican port.
For Some unexplained reason this
order did not reach the rrope. port Of
fcials until late yesterday.
Tampico Hurries Embargo.
No embargo from American ports
was contemplated by the United
States until the constitutionalists cap
tured the port of Tampicu. This led TO
a decision to withhold clearance pa
pers to ships with ammunition for any
; port in the southern republic and the
orders were directed thru the depart
ment OF commerce.
Whether any attempt will he made
, by tho United States to prevent the
landing Of the Antilla's cargo at Tam
pico is problematic. One official pointed
out last night that the Aatilla. flying
the Cuban flag, might touch at Ha-
vana ard receive clearance papers for
{ Tampico from Cuban authorities. Some
! legal authorities. however held that a
| mere change of papers under such cir
| cumstances would not suffice to save
| the cargo from capture and forfeiture.
| Mediation developments at Niagara
| Fails may prove factor. 1t was de-
I, clared last night. in shaping the at
titude OF the United States toward the
| treatment OF Tampico as an open port
! In some quarters 1t was maintained the
United States could not interfere with
landing arms for the constitutionalists
because arms for Hucr:a were per-
mitted to be landed at Puerto Mexico.
