TOFTENES TELLS HIS STORY
Second Officer of Storstad Blames
Empress of Ireland.
CONTRADICTS CAPTAIN KENDALL
Says SpMil uf l'liMeoger Ilnnt Caused
the Dnninae Admits 1I Vio
lated Ilnle lu Not Calling
Oito Captain.
QUEBEC, June 17. The captain and the
first officer of the collier Storstad testi
fied today at the Empress ot Ireland
wreck inquiry and contradicted In several
particulars the statements made on the
stand yesterday by Captain Kendall of
the lost llnor. The first officer, Alfred
Tuftenes, who was in command of the
coUler when the collision occurred. In
sisted that there was no explosion and
no sheet of flame from the side of the
Empress when It was struck, as Captain
Kendall had described.
The first officer admitted he had not
obeyed Instructions In falling to call his
captain from below when the fog shut
down Just before the collision. It was
the speed ot the Empress, he explained,
which caused the Storstad's bow to sink
twelve feet Into the side of the passenger
vessel.
Butler Asplnall began his cross-examination
on behalf of the Canadian Paclflo
railway, owners of the Empress. Tho
witness was In charge of the collier Im
mediately prior to the collision.
Tuftenes said he did not know whether
the master of the Storstad got a bonus
for a speedy trip with coal for the Do
minion Coal company between Sydney
and Montreal, Captain Anderson of the
Storstad, who was sitting In the rear of
the court, was asked about It and roplted
In the negative. '
Tho witness admitted that the ship was
unloading at night at Montreal.
"Time is apparently important then,"
commented the attorney.
Tuftenes conceded that It seemed to
be. He denied that tho Storstad was
navigated in the fog for one hour and a
half prior to first seeing the masthead
lights of the Empress. When the lights
came Into view, he said, the Empress
was about six miles away and one and a
half points on the Storstad's port bow.
Is was pursuing a course across tho
collier's bows.
Tuftenes said he ordered the helm
aport and a little later hard aport
"Did you stop when the Empress blew
two long blasts?" said Asplnall.
"I did not hear them."
"That would mean It was stopping""
"It would."
"Did you expect your ship would an
swer that hard aport helm?"
"I did."
"Why didn't It?"
"The engines were not working long
enough to give her headway."
Did Not Cnll Captnln.
The witness said the Empress, when It
came out of the fog, was two ship's
lengths away. He agreed that if the Em
press was going ten. knots, an hour and
tho Storstad only one knot aii hour, as
he said they were, It looked to him now
as If they should have, clearod safely
"I though that I was entitled to keep
my course and speed," Bald the witness.
"Seriously," said Mr. Asplnall, "as a
sailor, is it your belief that you aro en
titled to do that in a fog?"
"Provided that I do not go full speed,
but moderate opeed," said the witness.
"Your Instructions wero to call the cap
tain directly fog appeared."
"Yes."
"Why didn't you obey instructions?"
asked Lord Mersey.
"I did not think it necessary."
Bryan Finds Much
Opposition to His
Colombian Treaty
WASHINGTON, June 17. Secretary
Bryan found considerable opposition In
the senate foreign relations committee
today to the treaties with Colombia and
Nicaragua. The secretary spent two
hours explaining them and making the
plea for their ratification and expects to
return within a few days to furnish ad
ditional Information.
Objection was not confined to repub
lican senators. Some democrats ex
pressed disapproval of the terms of the
two pacts. Particular objection was
raised to the expression in the Colombia
treaty of the "sincere regreat" ot tho
United States that anything should have
occurred In connection with the partition
of Panama to mar friendly relations with
the United States and to the indemnity
of 825,000,000 to be paid to Colombia six
months after the treaty is ratified.
The committee decided to make public
diplomatics correspondence which pro-
ceded signing of the Colombian treaty.

there for years. Porter got away but his

thH arrest of Porter.
"It must have grown out of the long
standing suit concerning the water right
of that section," said W. J. Connell.
father of the young man, after he re
ceived the telegram. I can't imagine
what was the trouble e.xcopt that some.
desperado Incensed over the water right
controversy must have done the deed."
The water right case was argued by W.
J. Connell only a few weeks ago In New
Mexico. The case is now In the supreme
court of New Mexico and briefs have
been filed there. Young Connell and
many of the older settlers have been
taking water for years from the Tularosa
river for Irrigation, purposes. Some years
ago a new company came in and sought
to take the water of the river. This led
to legal controvery which has been pend
ing some years. The decision in the
lower court has been rendered In favor
of young Connell and the rest of the
older settlers. The case rests with the
supreme court.
Ralph S. Connell studied law in
Omaha In the office of his father. He
married Miss Bertha Green, a teacher
in tho Omaha High school. There are
two children, both girls.
The family moved to New Mexico
some eight years ago. They livo In the
town of Tularosa. .Mr. Connell operated
a cattle ranch, and several other In
dustries including a. chicken' ranch on
which he kept as high as 10.000 chickens.
The father could not say whether he
would go to New Mexico or not. He
said If he received further word that
the body would be brought to Omaha
at once, he might go as for as Kansas
City to bring back the body.
"I am Just awaiting further details'
every minute," said Mr. Connell. "The
telegram was so brief that we know
practically nothing about the affair ex
cept that he Is dead."
Colonel Roosevelt is
Told He Must Avoid
Speaking in Open Air
LONDON, June 17. Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt today consulted a throat spe
cialist, who, after examination, declared
his larynx in bad condition. The spe
cialist attributed this condition to the
overstrain undergone by the colonel at
the time of the last presidential cam
paign and to exposure in Braill.
The physicians said It would be Impos
sible for Roosevelt to undertake a con
tinuous campaign or to speak In the open
air during the next threo months. In
the meantime he advised him to make
only a few speeches.
-Colonel Roosevelt was the guest at
breakfast of the bishop of London, to
whom he expressed great Interest In his
work in the East End slums of London.
The colonel remarked:
'I am very little interested In dogmatic-
theology, but am very much Interested
In its practical application."
Afterward the colonel visited the Na
tional gallery and then lunched with Ar
thur J, Balfour, ormor unionist premier;
Prof. Gilbert Murray, reglus professor of
Greek at Oxford university; I'rof. John
Bury, reglus professor of modern his
tory at Cambridge university, and Colonel
Charles Radcllffe, the noted lion hunter.
In conversation with a number ot news
paper men, Colonel Roosevelt was asked
if he Intended to continue his work as a
geographer, to which he replied that he
had finished with it
When reference was made to the In
demnity of 125,000.000 to be paid by the
United States to Colombia, Colonel Roose
velt said he would much rather see the
money spent on a Panama exposition. The
colonel dined privately In the evening.

Unlike the threo other crews In the
race which started from Portland last
Thursday, Donaldson and Henderson did
not have to dodge tho spikes of pine
trees in coming down. But thoy had their
heaped-up share of hardships when thty
started to come in. One- of the most dis
couraging discoveries camo when they
searched through their kits and found no
matches. They struck out at once for the
nearest stream and started following It
westward. At night the cold mountain air
cut them to the marrow of their bones.
They could not build a fire and had to
eat what canned food they had raw.
The eighteen-mile walk to Walker's
Prairie was one of extreme hardships. A
network of thick undergrowth and fallen
trees disputed every foot of the way.
The Springfield wns forced to descend
at 8 o'clock last Friday morning on a
rocky slope of Table mountain, about
eighteen miles on a direct line from
Walker's Prairie ranger station. The aero
nauts had wandered until this morning,
living on halt rations of uncooked food.
Donaldson said the balloon was wrecked.

All day Friday, Saturday, Sunday and

they struck a creek which they decided
to follow, and In the evening they came
across a path constructed by United

condition.
They were forced to land on the slope
of Table mountain on account of being
