The collision occurred about ten miles west of Fame Point, Quebec, a lighthouse station on the southern shore of the St.

Lawrence river, near.where it empties into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. This is approximately SOO miles from Quebec. Although the accident occurred at 4:45 o'clock, yesterday, definite news was not received until today, when Capt. Murray of the Empress reported to the authorities here and at Quebec that his vessel was badly stove In about the bows and its fore compartments filled with water.

It was believed, however, that the vessel is in no danger of sinking. Both the wrecking steamer Lord Strathcone- and the Canadian Pacific tug Cruiser hastened to meet the Empress Cuts Collier in Two.

Third Floor (BY A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.

Washington, D. July The bar of the Supreme court of the United States has been asked to contribute $40,000 for the relief of the widow and daughters of the late -Associate Justice John M. Harlan. This procedure was made necessary because of what Is described as the destitute condition of Mrs. Harlan and her girls.

More than a thousand lawyers throughout the country were asked to make contributions of WO each, and it Is the belief of the men behind the movement, from the returns already received, that no difEculty will be experienced In providing the nest egg" desired. Mr. Harlan was known in legal circles as the honest Judge." Upon his death he left less than $2,500. Congress will appropriate to a year's salaryfor the benefit of Mrs. Harlan.

The associate justice left two sonsone, John M. Harlan. who is a practicing lawyer of Chicago, and the other. James S. Harlan, a member of the Interstate commerce commission, who receives a salary of $10,000 a year.

Both Sons Have Families. It is explained, however, that both the sons have families to support, an that It is desirable that Mrs. Harlan and Ler daughters should have an independent income. The Harlan case is regarded as proof of the necessity of providing a pension for the widows of public officials. Congress will not make such a grant in Mrs.

Harlan's dose, however, because a precedent would thereby be established which might be embarrassing in the future. The letter in the, interest of Mrs. Ilarlan sent to Lawyers preeticing before the Supreme court is signed by Joseph hi. Choate, Lewis Cass Ledyard, Eibridge T. Young.

William D. Guthrie, Victor Morowitz, Francis L. Stetson, John L. Cadwallader, William Nelsen Cromwell, John G. Johnson, and Elihu Root.

It says: We are credibly informed that Mr. Justice Harlan, after his long, laborious, and distinguielled career of thirty years and more upoel the bench, died Leaving his family 'wholly unprovided for, the house In 'Washington, their home, moutgaged up to its full value. Outside of that equity there is. as we are told, than to which congress probably will add, as it did in the case (Jr Mrs. Brewer, a year's salary of $12,500, but that will tally yield about $4140 or $700.

Propose to Give $500 Each. We do not think that the bar of the Supreme court should allow such a state of things to continue, or that the wife and two daughters of the late juatice should be permitted to reinala in this really destitute condition. Although we did not always agree with Justice Ilarlan's decisions, there la no doubt of his earnest and patriotic de-ire to discharge the great duties of his office according to his best lights. Under these circumstances, we propose tki it tO contribute, for the relief of his family that is to so), of hia wife and two dauchitexe the sum of in the hope ef raising for their berettit not less than the same to be placed in the hands of Charles Henry reporter of the ceurt, and of the Inarshal of the court jointly, in trust, to apply the same in their discretion to the use and Lenent of Mrs. Harlan and hez daughters, either principel or interest Or both.

Mrs. llarlan IS an. aged lady, not much younger, we believe, than her husband, and the two daughters are of middle age, but Lave not been qualited for any profeselon or business by which they could earn their living, although they are now struggling to do so." sew. York. July 28.Special.The first 1 results of the investigation by Burns detect-Ives of the murder of Herman Rosenthal have been flashed to District Attorney Whitman in the form of a report that the five men who shot down the gambler walked straight from the Metropole to a red automobile, waiting near Eighth avenue and Forty-third street, drove to Far Rockaway, and lost the price of the murder, 0,000, In a few days' gambling in a house kept by Jack Rose himself.

Whitman bases upon, the preliminary reports received from W. J. Burns' agents his belief that the police have only a muddled and knowledge of the circumstances of the killing and of the retreat of the assassins. He says that there is now reason to believe that some of the murderers did not escape In the gray car driven by Shapiro. Sneaked Back to Town.

The work of the Burns detectives has indicated that the five gangmen who pistoled Rosenthal were at Far RoOtaway until a few days ago, that they received daily news of the hue and cry while they flung upon the roulette table the proceeds of their crime, and that, when luckless play and hard drinking had emptied their pockets, they sneaked, one by one. back to town and went into hiding. The story that proceeds from the Burns ingunr3r places a new name on the list of the Kitty Second." a furtive rascal of east side haunts. one down in the police books as a pickpocket and devoted also to satchel thieving, hotel prowling. and whatever cunning criminal work would fill his pockets.

The names of the others are those of the four whom Deputy Commie'slontir Dougherty has advertised as the actual the Blood." Whitey Lewis, Dago Frank," and Lefty Louie. The information of the district attorney is that Lefty Louie," NVhitey Lewis, and Gip the Blood were the three that crept close to Rosenthal when he appeared unsuspectingly on the threshold of the Metro-pole and tired the shots. while Kitty Second and Dago Frank flanked the murderers with drawn pistols, ready to shoot any man that Interfered with the knit-frig. Twenty in Plot. As the Burns men have it, there were at least twenty in the conspiracy to silence Rosenthal.

Not merely Forty-third street in the neighborhood of the Metropole was sentineled by gangsters. Pickets from the east side were posted in Broadway and Sixth avenue. Money appeared from strange pockets. The riffraff of Chinatown and the Zelig territory that centers in Allen street were paying their way with the change of large bills. The lookouts." the pickets, were as the Burns investigation shows, hiring every taxi that came to the Metropole and getting it out of the street.

If the latest Information of the district attorney runs straight. the gray car was not designed for the use of the pistol men. It was a car for the scouts and spies. They went one way and the actual killer took another path, unebserved in the furious to-do. Two Held in Milwaukee.

protection of priellege and of vested wrong. It was Lincoln wno appealed to the people against the judges, when the judges went wrong! who advocated and secured what was the recall of the Dred Scott decision, and who treated the constitution as a Hying force for righteousness." Jane Addams Sees Distrust. Miss Jane Addams of Hull House, in an article in the American Journal of Sociology, comments upon the courts as follows': From my experience, I should say that perhaps the one symptom among working men which most distinctly indicates a class feeling is the growing distrust of the integrity of the courts, the belief that the Present judge has been a corporation attorney. that his sympathies and experience and his whole view of life is on the corporation's side." Gov. Aldrich of Nebraska, on Sept.

14,1911, In commenting upon the courts. said: Probably a whole lot of this trouble comes from the fact that in many instances these inferior courts are composed of lawyers who owe their position, not so mach to their legal attainments and profound learning, as they do to political service rendereilk That explains why in so many instanceathese court opinions sound very like the argument of a lawyer who holds a brief of a railroad company rather than an important, influential, and powerful position at the hands of the judicial system of our Dr. Hadley Urges Reforms. President Hadley- of Yale university wrote an article on the Constitutional Position of Property in Arnerica." In it he said: The general statue of the property owner under the law cannot be changed by the ac tion of the legislature, or the executive, oe the people of the state voting at the polls, or all three put together. It cannot be changed without consensus of opinion among judges which should lead them to retrace their old views, or an amendment to the constitution of the 'United States by the slow and cumbersome machinery provided for that purpose; or, lastand I hope most improbable a revolution." Delos F.

Wilcox on Oct. 22, 19043, in the Independent, made some comments upon the Hadley article. Among other things he said: What millions of plain men have inarticulately felt, President Hadley has turned into clean cut phrases that will live for many a -day. President Hadley has explained so simply and so clearly that no citizerewith any Intelligence at all can fail to see precisely what it is that democracy in America is up against." Gilbert Roe Criticises Judiciary. Gilbert E.

Roe in his recent book, Our Judicial Oligarchy," says: The public complains less that decisions are a long time in coming than it does that they are wrong when they do come. I do not suppose that the bar associations and the Judges who are focusing attention-4cm the subjects of delay, expense, and reversals for technical causes, incident to our present judicial procedure. intend to divert public attention from the real abuses, although there may he same ungenerous enough to suggest that this is the explanation of the recommendations for judicial reform. The real basis of complaint is not that the judges haven't enough power, but that they have too much; it is not so much that litigation is costly as that its results are unsatisfactory; it is not that justice is delayed, but that it is denied." Comment by Senator La In his introduction to this book Senator La Follette says: Mr. Roe feels that our problem today is not merely one of bad and corrupt judges, but rather one of technically ridden judges who are seeking to apply to modern conditions the principles of the ancient law.

I know no other volume that is se helpful to an understanding of the problems forced upon us by the courts. I know of no other discussion that oontains saner or more constructive suggestions for solving those problems." These quotations clearly indicate that some of the more prominent thinkers of the country believe they foresee shadows approaching. Persons less known to fame are thinking about the same subject. Bar associations in nearly all states are discussing and have discussed for some time reforms of various characters. Law reform has been discussed in the Illinois 'bar meetings for twenty-nine years.

Little progress, however, has been made towards accomplishing anything definite. Courts Cost County These quotations also indicate the importance of the problem. In Chicago the importance can also be estimated in dollars.

D. C. July Specia1.1The latest victim Of the waning respect for senatorial courtesy" is Senator Bradley of Kentucky. Several senators were so rude as to question hits stattinrAnte and methods in tryirg to gEt a $250,000 appropriation for the bentfit of the semi-centennial emancipation company. Senator Bacon asked if it were for a purpose by congress.

Bradley that it was, and that the act passed 'unanimously." Did not that act Itself carry an priation7 inquired Senator Crawford. who likewise does not care a rap for senatorial courtesy. Senator Bradley replied that It did not. So the amendment was inserted in the bill. Senator Bacon then carried his senatorial' 'discourtesy to the point of looking tip the record.

He found that there was no act, which Senator Bradley had mentioned, but, merely a bill which bad passed the senate only. Senator Hoke Smith thereupon gave senatorial courtesy another jolt by making a point of ordtr against Bradley's Von, and it was eliminated.
