jnd by the Lady Evelyn, a mail tender stationed at
Tather Point. They put out at once full steam ahead
and rushed to the sinking giant's aid.
As the dawn came the government steamer Eure
ka and a coal steamer could be seen in the distance,
but there was no trace of the Empress. The Eureka
seemed to be the center of a fleet of lifeboats.
Wireless messages to Father Point declared 350
persons were saved by the Canadian government
steamers which rushed to the rescue of the Empress.
It is believed that at least seventy besides the 350
m the government steamerwere saved, either picked
jp from the water or taken from life rafts. The 350
survivors were landed at Rimouski by the Canadian
government boats Lady Evelyn and Eureka, which
raced to the rescue from here.
BOUND FOR LIVERPOOL.
Under command of Captain Kendall, who is a lieu
tenant of the British Royal Naval Reserve, the Empress of
Ireland left Quebec at 4:20 p. m. yesterday for Liverpool.
The Empress of Ireland was built in 1906. She was a
twin screw steamer, 548 feet long, with all modern equip
ment, including wireless and submarine signaling systems.
The steamer Storstad, Captain Anderson, is a vessel
of 3,561 tons register, built for the coal trade, and is capa
ble of carrying 7,000 tons dead weight She has been en
gaged for some time carrying coal between Sydney, Que
bec, and Montreal. She would have a crew of about forty
eight men. She was due to arrive in Quebec about noon
today.
Reports from the London office of the Canadian Pa
cific railway say the Empress of Ireland carried 990 passen
gers, and a crew of 432 officers and men.
On board the Empress was a contingent of Salvation
Army members bound forthe international convention in
London.
Last reports declare 420 had been rescued by the Eve
lyn, the Eureka, and the Tourke, the latter also a Canadian
government steamer. This would indicate that 1,002 had
perished.
FATHER POINT, Quebec, May 29. With her Bow
badly smashed in where she collided with the Empress, the
Storstad passed this point, bound up river, shortly after
daylight. The collier wirelessed as she passed that she was
taking survivors and bodies to port. Names of the dead or
the number of those lost and saved were not given.
The Storstad's wireless read:
, "We are compelled to proceed slowly on account
of damages sustained invthe collision. The Empress
of Ireland was so badly rammed that she sank in about
nineteen minutes. A big hole was cut under her water
line."

"Whllo the results have not coma up

so far been disappointing, I believe that

FILES PROTEST 01
NEW TAX SYSTEM
First Formal. Objection to Tri
ennial Assessment Made by
D. W..O'Donoghue.
The first formal protest against the
legality of the triennial assessment of
real estate In the District was made
today to Assessor William I. Richards.
It came from Danlil W. .CDonoghue,
an attorney, who took exception to
the rate at which his property had
been assessed and contended that un
der the decision of the Court of Ap
peals In the Kalbfus case, the board
that made the assessment was not
legally constituted. Mr. O'Donoghuo
entered an appeal from the Increased
rate of assessment on his property
Assessor Richards maintains that the
work of the assessors cannot be suc
cessfully challenged. He states that
anticipating the possibility of such a
situation, he has gone to unusual pains
to Insure a working majority of as
sessors. Irrespective of the presence of
E. W. Oyster, and that as a conse
quence whether or not Mr. Oyster had
a right to serve as a member of the
Board of Assistant Assessors the hoard
was qualified, according to law, to
transact business.
Attorneys are prepared to cite many
decisions Ip which It has been held that
the presence upon a board of assessors
of a single member who has not prop
erly qualified Invalidates the entire
work of tho board.
Another protest, written upon elegant
paper with a heavy Mark border. staTed
that after years' of taxpavlmr the pe
titioner wanted to ask If Mr. Rich
ards could not find some manner of ex
empting her property from further tax
ation, as "I am so tired of paying
taxes."
