Reaponsibiliiy for the deaths of nearly 1000 persons who perished when the collier Stor- atad rammed and sank the great Can adian Partlfln liner EmDress of Ira- land, waa placed squarely on Captain Thomas Anderson of the collier, by Captain H. O. Kendall of the lost ves sel. Captain Kendall, testifying before a coroner's iury declared failure of the Storstad's captain to observe whis tle signals caused the collision. Neg lect to hold the Storstad's nose In the hole In the Empress killed the last hope of rescue. fcaptain Says Proper Signals Given, Captain Kendall In substance testi fied that he had taken all possible pre cautions against a collision. His ship had been stopped, he gave the requi Bite signals when the Danish collier Storstad, which dealt the blow which eent the Empress to the bottom, was still two miles away, but the collier had kept on through the fog which sot- tied down soon after the two vessels Blghted each other, and had rammed the Empress of Ireland when the lat ter vessel was virtually motionless, Then, despite his plea to the master of the collier that he run his engines full speed ahead to keep the hole In the liner's side plugged with the Stor stad's bow, said Captain Kendall, the DanlBh vessel backed away, the water rushed In and the Empress sank. Crash Occurs Near Shore. The crash occurred not far from the shore off Father Point, 150 miles from Quebec, and 10 miles from this point on the St. Lawrence. In reality, there fore, although the liner was heading for the sea and the collier coming In from It, the disaster was not one of the ocean, but of the river. Accounts agree that in the brief space of time not more than 14 min utesbetween the shock of the collis ion and the sinking of the liner, there was little chance for systematic mar shalling of the passengers. Captain Stood on Bridge. Captain Kendall stood on his bridge as the ship went down. One of the boats from the liner picked hlra up and he directed Its work of saving others until the craft was loaded. The I captain was Injured In the crash and I suffered from exposure, but his speedy recovery Is expected. Few women were among the saved The lists make it appear not more than a dozen. "It all happened so quickly that we did not really know what was going on and nohody had time to cry 'Wo men first,' " one of the passengers told Captain Bellinger, of the rescue boat Eureka. Of the 1387 persons on board only 418 are known to have been saved. making the probable death list 969. Dr. R. T. Mclntire Physician and Surgeon Office over Independence Nation al Bank.

With her bows crumpled in and twisted and a gap showing on the port side only a foot or so above the waterline, In mute evidence of the tragedy in which she figured, the Nor wegian collier, Storstad, docked here and a few minutes later a warrant of arrest, taken out by the Canadian Pa cific railway, was nailed to her main mnst. According to the captain and offi cers, contrary to what had been said by the captain of the Empress, the Slorstad did not back away after the collision. On the contrary, she steam ed ahead In an effort to keep her bow in the hole she had dug into the aide of the Km press. The Km press, however, according to the Storstud's officers, headed away and bent tlie Storstad's bow over at an acute angle to port. After that the Kmprecs was hidden from view of the other nhip, and despite the fact that the Storstad kept her whistle golnK, she could not locate the Fm press until the cries of the victims in the water were heard.
