Seattle, Nov. 21? The investigation
into the Dix disaster began today. The

| Authorities look into accident which caused loss of
half a hundred lives-=-Capt. Lermond must explain
why mate was at wheel? Loss of life placed at 50
fated little craftallowed Mate Dennison
to take charge of the wheel at such a
critical time. The next question to be
considered will be the seaworthiness of
the Dix. It has been charged that she
was top-heavy and that charge will be
looked into. It is said that the vessel
was so top-heavy that she required
more ballast to make her controllable.
Five of the persons that were re
ported as amontt the missing' have
shown up. However, the missinsf list
remains the same as Ave more people
have beeD traced to the steamer who
have not reported since the accident.
It is now believe<i there were 50 people
in the cabin of the Dix who were
drowned when she sank.
JIM HILL LOR LRLL TRADE
WITH CANADA
!
I Railroad Magnate Tells Why Commercial
Union World Help Both Americans and
Canadians? Would Wipe Out Customs'
Chicago, Nov- lft ? James J. Hill was
the guest of honor at the banquet of
the Merchants' Club tonight, and de
livered an extended address on "Chi
cago's Interest in Reciprocity with
Canada."
Mr. Hill recited figures showing that
the trade with the people whom the
United States will be able to reach by
the construction oj the Panama canal
amounts to only $.">4,500X00 annually,
while the United States' trade with
Canada is over $200,000,000 per annum
He asserted that the conservation and
increase of this trade is of greater im
portance than anything that will accrue
to the United States because of the
construction of the canal.
Concerning reciprocity with Canada,
Mr. Hill said:
"The plea for more liberal trade rela
tions is negatived by only unreasoning
individual selfisnness. The conclusive
argument for reciprocity with Canada
always has been and must ^be the ex
perience of the several American states.
Had it not been prohibited oy the con
stitution, each state of the Union
would have levied a duty on all com
merce crossing its borders. Yet all
acknowlede now that the one great
factor In the development of the United
States has been the commercial elimi
nation of state lines. -Unrestrained
trade between the states has favored all
of them.
Advantage in Sharing Products
"Whatever commercial policy con
fers the greatest benefit on the whole

continent will 'best advance the various
parts, and this city would receive and
confer inestimable profits under a more
liberal trade convention. Canada' will
in any event, and under any system, be
opened up and highly developed.
Would it then be disadvantageous for
us to share in the products of the
fields of Manitoba, Alberta and Sas
katchewan?
"The manufacturing interests of both
countries are the lirst to raise alarm,
but there is no 'danger here. We
have as much reason to dread Canadian
competition as Pennsylvania has to
cry out for protection against North
Dakota. Cannada would be no more in
danger than is Montana by thecompe
lit ion of Ohio.
"The time is opportune for a prac
tical movement toward better trade
relations with Canaia. There has
baen increasing irritation toward our
attitude and already the fact that our
average tariff against the Dominion
is 49.83, per centjwhile Canada against
the United States is 24.83, causes com
ment and suggests reprisals."
Would Abolish Customs
In closing. Mr. Hill said:
"What is the first practical step?
The consummation most to be wished
is the wiping out of customs houses
along the northern frontier and the
establishment there of absolute free
trade. If the time is not ripe for that,
the least that it demands is ample rec
iprocity."

ed for interfering with the officers 'of

duties.
Twenty-three more inventories hare
' yet'to be made. Premier Clemenoeau has
wired the commanders of the troops
'? not to shoot unless absolute trouble is
expected, but to afford the commission
ers sufficient support to ena Jle them
| to do the work they have in hand.
Yesterday the woric of making an in
ventory of the property at Saint Polve
leon was started and demonstrators
prevented its completion. Another
attempt will be made this afternoon.
The government is determined to

ion in spite of all the opposition that
might be offered, but the purpose is ^to
have as little rutlilesssness about It all
as possible.
