QUEBEC, June 16.-Captatn Kendall,
skipper of the Empress of Ireland, was
the first witness called today at the open
ing of the government's Investigation Into
the collision between his steamer nnd tho
Storstad In the lower St. Lawrence river
and the loss of "more than 1,000 lives. Al
though Kendall still limped from the In
juries ho received In the dlsastor ho re
fused a seat and faced the court on his
feet.
The examination of witnesses was In
charge of Edmund I Newcombe, K. C
deputy minister of Justice. The Canadian
Taclflc railroad, owner of tho Empress,
placed Its case In the care of Butler As
jdnwall, K. C. London, England, and sev
eral local lawyers. Counsel for Captain
Kendall and the officers and crew of tho
Empress were Alme Geoffrion, K. C,
Montreal, and A. C. M. Thompson, of
Quebec?
The Storstad's owners relied on C. A.
Duclos, Montreal; J. W. Griffin and C. S.
Halgh, New York, both members of the
United States admiralty; Ncrman Bcechcr
of New York and Arthur Fitapatrlck of
Quebec.
Mr. Newcombe- opened by outlining the
salient features of the foundering of the
Empress as at present known. It had
been difficult, he said, for the Canadian
Pacific to obtain accurate figures of tho
death list on account of tho number of
European foreigners on board, but it was
now placed at 1,014; with 4J saved.
Thjs examination of witnesses was pre
ceded by the Introduction of brief sum
maries of the facta by counsel repre
senting the owners of the two vessels.
Statement for Storatnd.
Counsel for the Storstad declared that
when It first .sighted the Empress the
latter Avas off the Storstad's port. Two
mlaPtSA'Jft?r,f,tha fog.shut down. The
f torstad signalled by whistle it was under
way and keeping Its course, heading weat
by south. . The statement continues:
"When tho captain got on deok later
he saw the mast lights of the Empress
three points to port. He Immediately or
dered full steam astern. The vessels were
then about 800 feet apart. The green
light of the Empress appeared. Three
minutes later the vessels came together.
The master of the Storstad heard a hall
from the Empress telling him to keep
going ahead. He had ordered this, but
found he could not keep the collier's nose
in the Empress wound. The Storstad
was swung around until it was parallel
with the liner and the collier's master
was afraid his ship would be struck on
the portslde by tho starboard quartJT of
the Empress.
"He had to swing around in a com
plete circle, and in the meantime the
Empress disappeared. The Storstad blew
signals to the liner, but it did not an
swer. About ten minutes afterward the
master of the Storstad heard a chorus of
irles and proceeded toward them with
care, his four boats ready to launch. Tho
Storstad boats saved several hundred of
tho Empress survivors and manned en
tirely an Empress boat on Its trip back
to the scene of the wreck and another
toat partially."
'r Cnptntn Kcndnll's Testimony
Captain Kendall said when he was first
notified of ; the . presence, , of another
steamer it was about six miles away, but
that the weather was fine and clear and
there was then no danger of a collision.
"When he noticed a big bank of mist com
ing off the south shore and the Storatad's

NO COMPROMISE FOR MINERS
Federation of Miners Official Throws
Down the Gauntlet.
WAR AGAINST INDEPENDENTS
Deelnrre Ontnlde I'nrtlnn run not Do

Outsiders Responsible for
Property Destruction.
BUTTE. Mont, June 16.-Declarlng there
tvnn nntVilne tn .nrntlNiml,. anrl thai niitlA
Miners' union. No. 1, of tho Western Fed- j
eratlon of Miners, was the only ornanlza- j
tlon that could do buslnes In IHitte, John j
C. Lowney, membei of the executive I
board of the Western Federation, in a i
formal statement today threw down the
gauntlet to the disaffected faction and
declared war against any faction of min
ers that attempted to set up an Inde
pendent organization.
Lowned dismissed all attempts at com
promise by asserting that the federation
would have nothing to do with outsiders.
He said that whllo efforts had been made
to obtain concessions from tho federation
representative on the question of a vote
to surrender the charter from the parent
body, the officers of the old union or
ganization would have, no hand In such a
procedure.
Lowney said the union, holding contracts
with the mining companies, would Insist
on carrying out every agreement in full.
Ho Insisted that a lawless element from
tho outsldo was primarily responsible for
tho destruction of property and that tho
men who joined with the mob were miners
who for months had not paid their union
dues.
Tho statement concludes with tho
statement that the Western Federation
of Miners and tho United Mln Workers
of America are about to merge into one
great miners' organization.
SltiirWlnn Unlet hut Tense.
With tho regular meeting of the min
er's union scheduled for tonight, the
situation here was quiet but tense
today. Every effort was being made
to bring the opposing factions to
gether. Committees of five men earn
have be?n appointed by the leaders
n the union and the secessionists
for a conference, arranged through the
offorts of M. M. Donohue, president of
the State Federation of Labor. The propo
sitions to be submitted to tho conference
with a view to bringing back tho c
ccders Into the organization are:
Tho abandonment of all tho records of
the old union except tho charter from the
Western Federation of Miners and the
contract with the employing companies;
tho refitting of the union offices; an im
mediate open election, at which all miners
will be entitled to vote regardless of ar
rearages In dues or assessments; immedi
ate Installation of the officers so elected,
to be followed by a full vote of miners
on the question of retaining the charter
of the Western Federation.
Mar Declare Independence.
If the membership votes to return the
charter to the federation, the miners are
to proceed atone as an Independent union.
In the meantime the secessionists will
continue thg program they have .laid out,
beginning with' the taking of the -referendum
vote tomorrow on the question of
showing Westorn Federation cards at the
mines.
Goernor Stewart reiterated today his
assertion that he had not asked that fed
eral troops bo sent to Butte. He said his
message to Washington simply asked re
garding the disposition of federal troops
with a view to learning whether troops
were available If uondltlons here became
serious.
Flnunclnl Irregularities Charged.
Allegations of Irregularities on the part
of the officials of the Butte Miners' union
and of the Western Federation officials
are to be made by leaders of the insur
gents, in consequence of records which
the insurgents secured when the Miners'
union safe was dynamited Saturday night.
Three gunny sacks full of documents wero
obtained and a committee was engaged
all night In going .through the mass.'
A leader of the Insurgents said late last
night that documentary evidence had
been secured of an alleged attempt on
the part of the union officials to arrange
an insurance system in which 8.000 miners
were to bo Insured for life by paying
2.W monthly, the miner to receive a
number of sick and old age benefits, the
amount he was to receive upon his death
not being stated. For their services In
promoting the insurance plan one official
of the union was to receive monthly $500,
a second $250 and two others J125 as long
as the Insurance plan survived. The
drawn up contracts, the insurgents- say,
were found In the safe. These contracts
were unsigned.
The books In the safe showed no bal
ances had been made for the last thlrty
h years, according to the Insurgents.
The committee expects to be able to
Vnake a formal statement late today of
what has been found In the captured
Western Federation documents.
