The Royal party entered, the hall
and the Mayor. was abou:t.to begin
his addrese when' Archduke Fran-
cis Ferdinand interrupted Min and.
in .an angry ractemee, ,said
"Herr ' Burgomaster,' it is per-

Fired From Sidewalk.
As the Royal car reached the cor-
ner of Rudolph St., a man named
Gavro Prinzip, who was on the'
sidewalk, fired several pistol shots
in quick succession ,at the. Arch-
duke and/ the Duchess. The .rnan,
who was only a short distance from
the car, was a good marksman. The
first shot 'struck the Duchess of
Hohenberg low down_,• on the right
side, while the .second bullet hit the
Archduke in the neck near the
throat and pierced the jugular.

The Duchess became unconscious

seconds after he was hit. The

Lord l{iersey, who Condlieted `..`,Janpress of Ireland" Inquiry.
Lord Mersey, cool, grim, impar-
tial judge --,such is the way the press
is headlining all references to the
British .Titanic Commission's chair-
man, who directed the inquiry into
the loss of the Empress of Ireland'.:'
After the Titanic inquiry due prom-
inence was given to the feet that
during the entire questionings the
only time he was seen to isnlile was
when a sailor,' who was asleep at
the time of the collision, explained
he was "whacked to the side." His
stiff face was then said to have
cracked into laughter that was like
a grimace. There is altogether too
general an inepa essioe .that Lord
Mersey, if a just; judge is ogre -like
and a. man of dry rigidity.
Otherwise, it would be difficult
to account for his universal popu-
larity • in- the British Isles, along
with the respect for him .as the high-
est authority on matters maritime
that is felt. His career has been
notable. A native‘' of IJiverpool
nautical terms such as "alIevion'l
or "jettison" were a part of his
schoolboy alphabet. He absorbed
shipping lore with his arithmetic,

His subsequent career as president
of the . Probate, ,Diyorce, and .A4-
niiralty Division on the bench is
well remembered; also his services
on the Parliamentary Commission'
which inquired into the Jameson
raid.
Upon his elevation to the peerage
in March, 1910, he had to respond
at .a Divorce Court banquet, given
in leis honor, ,and a few of his re-
marks revealed the real man. "I
think I'oould ediint on my fingers,"

WHY EMPRESS SANK So SOON.
Two :Hundred and Sixty Tons of
Water a Second Rushed In.
A despatch from Quebec says:
The 'explanation of all the sugges-
tions that have been made during
the enquiry into the wreck of the
Empress of Ireland about the ves-
sel's steering gear. came out on
Wednesday afternoon when Percy
Hillhouse, belonging to the Fair-
field Shipbuilding Company, which
oonstruoted her, continued his evi-
dence before the Dominion Commis-
sion. Mr. Hillhouse gave the first
adequate explanation of the actual
injuries to the Empress, and his
telling of the water rushing through
a, wound 828 square feet in dimen-
sions at the rate of 260 tools a sea-
led gave a clear-cut .impression• of
how it came about that the liner

ter's arils capsized.

the commission's hearing on Wed-
nesday was the evidence sof Gunner
