There was a heavy sea when she sailed and I would not have taken the vessel out under the conditions. When we threw her ropes olT she rolled over considerably, but after a time she recovered." "As a seaman to what do you attribute the accident?" Witness: "Top-heavy." The Captain's Conduct John Ibister, the mate, said he found the cargo shifting ten minutes after the Iroquois started, when a heavy beam sea struck her. He told tlie captain. Captain Sears asked how much had shifted but issued no orders then. A second wave struck her. The rest of the cargo slid to leeward, and the vessel listed still more. Again the mate told the captain, but Sears said nol a word. A few second's later the Iroquois was foundering. Describing the scene the mate said: "She was going down. 1 saw the captain coming from the wheelhouse. He walked along to me, close to the companionway, as if to go down to the freight deck. The captain went to get the crew together to see what we could do for thc passengers. While we were doing this the hull had gone down altogether and the housedeck lifted clear of lhe hull and we were all on this���the captain, myself, four deckhands, the chief engineer and some passengers. Orders at Last "Then the captain gave us orders what to do, and after we cleared one Ixiat and the captain put the passengers in this he asked me to go in charge of the boat. She was washed away before I could get in. The passengers were in it. There were, I think, aboul ten in the boat which swamped 300 yards from the wreck. We cleared tlie other boat and the captain gave orders to come in and try to make shore. The captain wasn't in the boat then; he was on the deck. The captain, the chief engineer and three deckhands, and 1 think one passenger were in the boat, three passengers antl myself on the wreckage and one passenger and the steward in the water. Thought Wreck Safest "I didn't go in the boat because 1 considered I would stay on the wreck. 1 thought I was safer there." "You were not actuated by motives of duty?" Witness: "No, sir. Just before the boat left the captain shouted to the steward in the water and asked if the passengers were safe. 1 didn't hear the answer owing to the wind. The captain said to us: 'Stay by the house and you will be all right and drift ashore.' " Government Enquiry While the trial of Cpatain Sears is being conducted, an exhaustive enquiry into the circumstance of the wreck is to be instituted by the Dominion Government with a view to the safety of the people travelling these coasts. Justice Martin of thc Admiralty Court has been appointed to conduct the investigation. TALK ABOUT TOWN Provincial Chief Constable Wynn will leave this afternoon for Naas Harbor with S.

Executive Deny Idea of Compromise 45-CENT RATE ONLY Suggestion that Committee Agreed to Compromise for 41 1-2 Cent Rate is Indignantly Refuted by the Association. The P. R. I. A. deny that their committee ever proposed to compromise or agreetl to any proposed compromise for 11 1-2 cents per hour from the contractors when they waited on the Mayor the other day. No idea of compromise has ever been entertained by the P. R. I. A. With them it has been all the time, and still is, a case of 45 cents an hour or nothing doing. All thc committee demanded of Mayor Manson lhe Other day was that he enforce lhe penalty clauses in the present contracts. This denial comes direct from the P. R. 1. A. and is emphatically made.

This was the opinion of all who circled it light footed and light-hearted in the merry mazes of last night's Hospital Dance in the Mclntyre Hall. Though the wide hall was crowded, there was ample floor space, and the enjoyment of the whole assembly was more than assured. Thanks to the untiring exertions of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Hospital Board the arrangements for the function were carried through to perfection. Everyone takes an interest in the welfare of the Hospital. Everyone who dances tries not to miss a dance organised by the Ladies' Auxiliary. Every dance hitherto arranged by the Ladies' Auxiliary has been a success, and last night's is the latest. Gracing the ballroom were Mayor Manson, and nearly all the members of the city council. Alderman Kirkpatrick, who is also of course a valued member of the Hospital Board, did his share of work ticket taking at the door willingly and genial as ever. Mr. D. G. Stewart as President of the Hospital Board was prominent in his efforts to make the dance a success. The musii- was by the popular dray's orchestra. Among those present were: Mrs. W.

They have both passed strong resolutions against the policy of admitting this class of immigrant, and these were last night forwarded to the Dominion Government authorities at Ottawa. Conditions Unsuitable In the resolutions are set forth the principal arguments against negro labor, and lhe negroes as a class as set tiers. It is emphatically stated lhal conditions in the Central and Northwest of Canada especially, are nol such as are adapted to negro labor, and that the negrix's themselves will be unable to adapt thenisleves to the climatic and other conditions as do the immigrants irom Europe antl America. Edmonton Remembers Edmonton Board of Trade is particularly emphatic against tl.e importation of negroes as settlers. Ihe recent serious outrage committed there by newly imported negroes who maltreated a young white girl one night in a lonely part of the city, is fresh in the public mind. Sentiment of the strongest possible kind runs high against the negroes in the city, and the idea that this class of immigrant is to be allowed to take possession of any district of the Dominion is most repugnant to the white people of all the white races who have themselves newly immigrated, and most of all to tin ( anadiar.s born and naturalised CANS FOR GARBAGE Scavenger Service to Be Introduced in This City TENDERS FOR SUPPLY, ETC.

"As a seaman to what do you attribute the accident?" Witness: "Top-heavy." The Captain's Conduct John Ibister, the mate, said he found the cargo shifting ten minutes after the Iroquois started, when a heavy beam sea struck her. He told lhe captain. Captain Sears asked how much had shifted but issued no orders then. A second wave struck her. The rest of the cargo slid lo leeward, and the vessel listed still more. Again the mate told lhe captain, but Sears said not a word. A few second's later the Iroquois was foundering. Describing the scene the male said: "She was going down. I saw the captain coming from the wheelhoiise. He walked along to me, close to the companionway, as if to go down to the freight deck. The captain went to get the crew together to see what we could do for the passengers. While we were doing this the hull had gone down altogether and the housedeck lifted clear of the hull and we were all on this���the captain, myself, four deckhands, the chief engineer and some passengers. Orders at Last "Then the captain gave us orders what to do, and after we cleared one Ixiat and the captain put the passengers in this he asked me to go in charge of the boat. She was washed away before I could get in. The passengers were in it. There were, 1 think, about ten in the boat which swamped 300 yards from the wreck. We cleared tlie other boat and the captain gave orders to come in and try to make shore. The captain wasn't in the boat then; he was on the deck. The captain, the chief engineer and three deckhands, and I think one passenger were in the boat, three passengers and myself on the wreckage and one pasr senger and the steward in the water. Thought Wreck Safest "I didn't go in the boat because I considered I would slay on the wreck. 1 thought I was safer there." "You were not actuated by motives of duty.''" Witness: "No. sir. Just before the boat left thc captain shouted to the steward in the water and asked if the passengers were safe. 1 didn't hear the answer owing to the wind. The captain said to us: 'Stay by th'-' house and you will l>e all right and drift ashore.'
