Situation in Bituminous Fields —Trouble Among Tex­

tile Workers

Tfcw York; March 28.—Tt wa* learned toTday fn»m an authoritative eource that anthracite coal operators are making no move to prevent a suspen­sion of work In the anthracite fields and that they regard such a suspension on March 31 aa Inevitable.

No meeting of, the committee of ten which conferred with the. miners' re­presentatives have been hrM since the tcrimination of negotiations. It " was said, and none la scheduled.

On the eve of a suspension of work whoi- sale coal dealers and shippers said t»>-day the .coal panic among con­sumers practically had aubeldcrV Tin* eager buyers have' laid In their stip- plU's and the demand for anthracite In this market lia* fallcn dlT. Coal ts coming to market In large qu.inMtles and' Is quite easily obtained. The early ■trike talk caused a demand, but* the whole halers say that this has been sat­isfied. x

only three days Intervening before the time set for a shut-down In case no agreement Is reached, hope of avoiding a widespread coal strike In the Vnlted State* beginning next Monday centred to-day tn a sub-committee appointed by the bituminous operators and min­ers to agree If possible on a compro­mise wage scale

All other means of sgracing had fail­ed and It was said unless a compro­mise was soon effected. ISti.OOO miners would quit Sunday at midnight an the suspension would be In effect. Jointly the wage disputes In the an­thracite and bituminous regions In­volve a threatened strike of almost 160.000 miners. #

The House of Commons spent yes­terday In clearing up government busl- eiees.--T*e bill to give Fenton Raid survivors $100 each was extended to make all vetorana living eligible.

Members from British Columbia have been pressing on the Dominion government the necessity of restoring, to British Columbia 8,000.000 acres of land In the Peace rtvor district and are confident that the lands will be restored to the province, but 1$ le not likely any action will be taken this session owing to the near approach of prorogation.

It Is understood that the federal ministers are favorable to the transfer, but pressure of business has prevented It being taken up yet. It will, however, be ci nsldered In the recess and be probably a matter of negotiation* be­tween the two governments.

Millions are living in a state of svml- etarvetion In various parte of the country.

Frosslert Appeal to Miners.Premier Asquith Issued an appeal to

the miners ef Great Britain to-day ts accept the minimum wags bill, which he said would be largely what they khd fought for. The premier made this appeal In a speech to the Liberal members of the House of Commons

The premier said he recognised that the agitation as far as the great bulk of the men were concerned, was a dis­interested movement Now that their grievances have been removed by the establishment of the principle of the minimum wage, with men which It oould trust to fix reasonable rates, he strongly appealed In the name of the whole community for the resumption of normal and Industrial conditions He hoped that Industrial peace and contentment now were in sight.

Ballot of Miners.The miners representatives are de­

termined to put upon the men the re­sponsibility of saying whether or not they shall resume work under the minimum wage act. A ballot will be taken On the question of “Are you to favor of resuming work pending settle­ment of minimum rater of wages in the various grades by the district boards to he appointed under the minimum wage act?"

This decision was taken at a con­ference of the Miners' Federation held yesterday. Th* result of the, ballot will be known April 4. A few ex­tremists urged an appeal to other trades to Join In the strike, but did not vote against proposal, which was accepted unanimously.

J. Ramsay Macdonald, after voting against the third reading of the bill in the House of Commons, advised the men to accept It.. The prospecta of the miners* ballot resulting In the resump­tion of work are bright. Careful In­quiry on the spot has resulted in pre­dictions that the men In practically every district will vote for peace.

Intense satisfaction over the coming ballot Is expressed among Scottish miners and In the Durham South Wales. North Wales, Yorkshire and Staffordshire coalfields the same feel­ing Is said to prevail. Ten thousand miners are expected to resume work

Malabot Drive.Without doubt the most famous of

This, howeVer, will be remedied considerably once the pro- fM»»ed widening of the road is effected at the critical points. The ascent over this road commences at Ooldstrenm. and an elevation of something like nine hundred feet Is attained during the drive, the usual termination of which is Shawnigan l.ake; to avoid Covering the same road twice in the same day, many people return .from there by the old Sooke road I* the winter time this is almost impassable, but Just now is in quite g.»od condi­tion. although the steep Inclines thaf have to be taken in crossing the Hooke hills prevent many a motorist who is not confident in the powers of his ma­chine from taking this route. An ele­vation of 1.560 feet is*attained at one P°,nt- ths aseswt IlilMf iilTm I ml in six. miles, the descent In four miles—which means a fairly stiff Incline in places. This road, apart from the variation it affords, and the pleasure that may be derived from the testing of one's car. has nothing to particularly réoom-

jnend It, as despite Its altitude it af­fords very tittle in the way of scenic attractions.

Albernl to Campbell River.Those who are looking for a longer

run might continue right on to Al- berni or Campt>ell river. Instead of turning back at Shawnlgan Lake. The roads to both points are wonderfully good, a fifty-mile lap near, Cfenpbetl river being a particularly attractive Section to the man who Is fond of spcedlTTg.

The Prince of Wales, who is seven­teen now—the age at which. British Subjects are allowed to take out motor licences—has been learning to drive an automobile. The tuition is taking place at Norfolk and for the present his royaj highness will not lie seen in the neighborhood of }>usy towns.

The prince represents the third gen- erat^n of the royal patrons of the au­tomobile In Britain, although this means of locomotion has only been in common use alxrnt twelve years. King Ldward was an enthusiastic automo- biHst. but he did not drive his own car, nor does King George.

It ts especially to be noted that there a will be no exhibitions other than the one

between Joe Bayley and Tommy Knock- 1,»n These have generally proved to be «minte« t-atlng and therefore the promoters

^ave decided that If one boxer falls ty go on his opponent shall win by -default and the event eliminated from the card

Of coures -the exhibition between Bay- L Ley and Knockton will be of exceptional I interest because one of the, boys at least,

who Is the popular Idtri. of liL local fight -, fans, is in a position to give an exhibi­

tion. And Knockton ia no slouch, either, as he proved on the several occasion» on whlcjv he met Joe when the latter waa an amateur.

A splendid assortment of cupe have h en gathered together for the winners, so that the boxers will not be working for nothing. The fans can satisfy them­selves as to the value of these. trophies as they are on exhibition in Gollfster's windows. Government street.

The newcomer has been wrestling for fpur years and boxing for three,

and during hi* career In the east haa aeveral tlhiea been runner-up In To­ronto, provincial and Canadian chant- plonahlpa, both In the grttpptin* and padded-nut game, beatdee once holding the 116-lb. novice champtonehlp Of To­ronto. He tm* won 1Î wrestling and 11 boxing matches, and has" lost but one of the former and six of the latter. For eight months he was physical In struct or of the British-A merlca Ath lethlc Club of Toronto.

McKay Is carded to wrestle fleoege O'Connor, of New Westminster. In the tournament at the Victoria theatre on Friday, and baa also expressed a will- Ingncsa to go on In a boxing match if an opponent can be secured for him. He is open to meet any amateur wrestler or boxer In British Colum­bia. at 125 Tbs.

means the forfeiture of all Individual right to any part of the joint eatate. Should the husband become bankrupt, however, the contract Is automatically dissolved, and the wife has thé same rights ae In the union of g<x>ds. That fa to say. the wife may claim (hat half her property l»e restored to her. and as regards * the bther half, she takes her place as an ordinary creditor. The system of separation of goods makes the wife entirely free and responsible for all her actions and debts, but her huslmnd may demand a contribution from her own personal income or means to any Jointly Incurred expense such as h«»usekeeplng. 8h««uld the hu. hand become bankrupt, the wife enjoys no privileged p«>sltlon. It ought to be remarked that the wife's gen­eral freedom 1» limited to prevent her from engaging In any business or pro­fession without the consent of her husband.

The new code raises the marriage­able age from 16 to 18 In the case of women and from 18 to 20 In the eaaa of men; but for all persons under the age of 21 the consent of parents or guardians Is required before a* mar­riage can be performed. Even certain persons <»Yer that age. such as drunk­ards of notorious spendthrifts, may not he married unies» their guardians' consent la obtained. The grounds for divorce are the same for both sexes, and Include Insanity If It hae continu­ed for three years and Is certified to he Incurable. In dtVoycsa granted through adultery the parties may he forbidden to marry for ihree yeara. and the court may Ih Its discretion refuse the custody of the children to either father or mother. Reparations are also granted as under British law. and the wife can secure a separation If she can sh«iw that to continue liv­ing with her husband endangers her

Power» bestowed on public guar­dians are greater under the flew cods In Bwltserland. probably, than In any other country. Should parents fall In their duty to their children the guar­dians may remove them front parental control, and while compelling the parents to support them, may direct their education as they aee fit. If the father Is a drunkard, all control over his children may be taken away from him, and deposited In the mother alone. Other laws tend to ameliorate *he P** alt Ion of unmarried mothers. Fathers

Illegitimate children are obliged to contribute to their support according to thetrfe own social position, and to continue the support until the child has reached the age of 18.

And I don’t blame them/ Beauty a wohderful possession, â great power and a continual source of pleasure. No wonder we all want It. But what nuxzles me Is why more of uA when we realise, as this girl did. that we can't have beauty, don’t turn carrevyes toward some of the charms whlch^we can have and which are quite enough to be precious^

Not « very girl can be beautiful. But every girl can have a good carriage. Every girl can stand erect. Every girl can sit gracefully with the end of her spine against the back of the chair and her feet on the floor. Every girt can walk without affectation, or undue hurry or without striding or swinging arms or lopsided body.

Not every girt can be beautiful, but every girl can have repose of manner. She cah rest the eye* of those, who took at her by net fidgeting, not mov­ing restlessly* about, nor fussing P«*» petualfy with her hair or neck.or belt, as so many girls do.

[laboring men of British Columbia. The

government of British Columbia le a government for corporations, and At­torney-General Bowser will nob dare to offend the Ottawa government or the railways by offering any opposi­tion to the admission of the hordes of working men who will be brought Into this country as a result of this

In this connection it may be noted that the Borden government Is hitting Its laborers In these parta with a .vengeance. Instructions have been re­ceived reducing the wages of laboring men at-the dock and navy yards frOPV

'$3.75 to 12.50 per day. and tt to said a* Esquimau that commencing nexV month their day’s work will be ex­tended from eight to nine hours. As the “working men’s friend** the Bol­den government Is showing Itself to

Hoqulam, Wash.. March 18.—Three hundred and fifty strikers guarded the entrance to the Hoqulam Lumber â Shingle Mill this morolpg and refused to allow any men to enter the yards. The police endeavored to get men through the ranks, but the strikers were too numerous. The officers saw It was a case of killing someone, so hesitated about tiring.

Mayor FVrgwsoO'-dellvered- a speech and told the strikers he would call a muss meeting of mlllmen, strikers and citizens to try and arbitrate the mat­ter. The strikers promised no fur­ther violence until after the meeting. Hardly had Ferguson quit talking when the cry 'On to Woods' mill" rang out and the men started with a rush for this plant. They were met with strong resistance and beaten back.

The situation Is the most serious here since, the trouble of two weeks ago and unless arbitration 1j success­ful the harbor cities will likely be placed under martial law.

It was the future, not the past, thatconcerned lis—it is the future, not the past, that concerns you now.

You can buy plenty of Coquitlam lots whose future will be entirely dependent on their past. The new Coquitlam lots, the lots with the future, the lots related to the stupendous development to be witnessed there in the next few years, are Townsite lots—the Coquitlam Townsite Company's lots.

Equally well, of course, you will invest through the Townsite Company.

You may make a good investment in Coquitlam, other than a Townsite Com­pany lot, but the only way. to play safe, to avoid misunderstanding, to avoid failure of comprehension of the situation, to be absolutely sure of getting what you want, is to come to headquarters, to the Townsite Company, which has a bigger

One Monday morning la Asnd, 1910. the Independent Burglary Inear- enee Company celled up the eOee of the Burns Detective Agency end re­quested that an operative be aent to tbek offices at once.

“Cornell." said the manager to me. -you haven't had any experience In the burglary insurance line, but 1 guess you can handle the" work. Go over xnd see what's up. And. aaj. Cornell, remember this: this agency is retained by the year by this Insur­ance company. One of our big cus­tomers. Treet their work accord­ingly.*’

I found the offices of the Indepen dent Company le a Fed ye sound street building not tar from Fifth ave­nue. On presenting my card. I was ushered at once Into the private of­fice of the vice president. Mr Blaney

"Àhî The mur from the Burns Agency?” said Mr, Blanej. "Cornell is the name? Ah, yes; glad they sent you. Mr. Cornell. We've heart wme thing of *our work. You've nev r handled any of oir cases, have you""

"Not any," I said.“Well, fortunately this Isn’t a com

He laughed reminiscently, and 1 chuckled with him.

After dinner I went out enl strolled down to the nearest telepnone office and called up my friend In the book­ing office In New York.

“Do you know anything about Mrs. Hollister's brother, a little fellow with sporting tendencies?" 1 asked.

• "Yea. I know of him," came the slow answer "He’s a little no-good Tries to be an actor sometimes, and a press agent occasionally, and falls down on both Jobe.”

I thanked my new found friend for his friendliness and confidence, and went further on ny way, rummaging around Wall street to find all 1 could

We are all of the opinion that we will pay his claim In full. In due time. But—as a matter of form, you understand--we’re send­ing you down to look the thing over. Be careful, Mr. Cornell, but be care­ful of our Interests as well as the feelings of CoL Hollister and bis fam tty. Assure yourself that the burglary was committed, that Mrs Hollister's Jewels were stolen, and report That is the case.”

That was enough, for before 1 had got through with it the Hollister case had developed Into a case so sensa­tional, so full of strange features that the Independent Burglary Insurance Company never dreamed of, that even today It 1» spoken of In the office of the agency as “The Hollister Job."

Being new to the work of Investi­gating burglaries for the Insurance company 1 went about the task In a way considerably different from that employed by thi experienced Investi­gator. I did not go to the scene of the robbery. The Hollister home lsy hp among the hills of Long Island on the sound 1 had heard of It as a good example of what teats and mod •fate wealth—moderate for New York —could do In making complete home. I had heard of Col. Hollister, too. In the earns Indirect way. He was a retired bond broker, apprasl-

~ mately II y sari old. Hie fret ' wife bad died many years before, five" years ago he had married again, this time taking for hie bride Margaret Wynderllng. the Margaret Wynderling who for a brief space bad won such distinction In Bernard Shaw's plays There had been some opposition to the match at the time on the part of Mr. Hollister's two grown sons by bis first marriage. After the wedding this opposition was said. to bars simmered down until now report bad it that Col­onel and Mrs. Hollister were happily at peace with all the world, especially Including Hollister's two grown sons. 1 had seen pictures of both the Col­onel and his young wife In the so­ciety sections of the papers. The Colonel was antordent member of the Naseau Hunt Club, and Mrs. Hollister was credited with having developed

- a arret Interest in • aviation....Tblaserved to keep them both In print often enough to make them compar­atively well known.

Instead of repairing at ones to this reputed Ideal home of wealth and cul­ture, l went down towh. At the sad Of three hours' work 1 entered the of­fices of the broker with whom CoL Hollister had been associated In busi­ness, and who now handled the old giMitiemse'e Investments. ' S

Acuity between him and Ms wife. Everywhere that I Investigated I found Hollister spoken of In the hig> mt terms, Hv-wtrt fine; honorable gentleman. Mrs Hollister wasn’ so well known among the colonel'! frivnd*. I» order 4* make my Inves­tigation thorough 1 got on-a Broadway car and rode up to the theatrical dis­trict. to the oflics of n friend of mine .who conducted booking agency There I gathered that Mrs. Hollister, formerly Margaret Wynderly. was not aa happy with her rich husband as she had expected to be. It seemed that Mrs Holllstor had expensive tastes. The colonel did not approve of them. At one time, so tho gossip of the KlaJtio had It, Mrs. Hollister had gone so fe * as to threaten to go back to the stage to earn money to gratify her whlma.

All these minute Investigations may seem to the layman to be superfluous In a case Uke this. What could the Hollister's family affair» have to do with the advent of a burglar In their home? 1 could not answer this ques­tion any better than the reader at the beginning of my rsarch. but success­ful detective work Is largely a mat­ter of watching the small things. It is the small things that the wrong­doer telle to cover, not the large « es; and It Is among these small things that the careful detective will often find the tiny Item that puts him on the trail of something big I had an definite plan In so carefully looking up the Hollister family circumstances,I only knew that it was my duty asfin Investigator «f tWe cnee to findall about them that I eeuld —

1 ran down all the Information I could scare up In New York; then, next1 morning, 1 bought a ticket to the station on the Long leland Road, where the Hollister home was lo­cated.

I arrived at the station. Sound- hurst. near noon and ro* I stored at the little hotel In the village. The elerk at the hotel dined at my table and 1 led him to talk about the Hollis­ter family I was surprised to find that even there the news of the bur­glary had not become known, and the clerk did not hesitate in discuss­ing the people who lived In the big house on the Sound.

"I’ve got a cousin who takes care of their launches and boats/' said he, "and I know about all that’s rotng on up there. And ’ t me tell you, mister, tiroes wen row non t nave wo smoother sailing than us poor ones. No sir. they have heir rows )u»; like wo do. Why, hero two months ago this spring.

"A plain case of robbery by some­one who bad studied tbe promisee tor a long time," said the colonel.

1 asked a score of questions to throw them off the scent and In the meantime 1 took n careful look at that window. It was SO feet from the ground. In n fiat wall. 1 looked at tbe marks on the frame; and then 1 nearly whistled in surprise Tbe marks were made by some clumsy round Instrument not at all resem­bling the efficient Jimmy of the expe­rienced burglar.J "An amateur's Job,” said I to my­self. I looked more closely, and saw that the window never bad been for­ced open at alL It had been left*un­locked! The marks had been put In for a blind, or I was no Judge. To force open such windows se were In tbe Hollister house requires constd erable leverage; and the marks of the tool need am sure to sink deep into the wood In this case, the surface of tbe frame was only bruîsèd— scarcely dented at all. The windows were ndt locked when the burglar came to do hie work! Whoever had dene I be Job bed done It from, tbe In­side. The window had no part in It. — 1 thanked the Holllsters for their courtesy, excused myself because It was growing late, and said It would be necessary for me to pay another short visit to the house In the morn ing.

“1 see that the man who did this Job la an old experienced band,” I said, as I took my departure. "The signs of an old-timer’s ^ork are ajl over, the job I’m afraid we’ll bavé a hard time recovering your jewels, Mrs. Hollister, If we ever do.”

As 1 said this I watched her closely and 1 thought that a slight look of relief seemed to flicker In her eyeS; but Instantly she began to lament. "O, 1 hope you do recover them:I never, never will be :able to find such perfect stones In another set.

the clerk again fell Into conversation with me. I led the talk back to the Holllsters.

"Was that bunch of theatrical peo­ple up there last Saturday night?" I

"Sure thing." was the reply.“Was the brother with them?""O, yes. But 1 didn't see him drink­

ing around here that time."I bought the clerk a cigar and

strolled away toward the Hollister hotue.

Instead of going at once to the house I walked twice around the place sizing It up as If I were a bur­glar loo King for a place to enter. One

poet from the burglar's point otTview. The house was upon a bluff overlook­ing the Sound. All around It ran a red brick wall 12 feet high On top of the wall were H>ng Iron spikes. Off the side fronting toward the Sound was the lodge of the boatman; In the opposite corner of the grounds was a small living bouse, evidently the home of the gardener, while In an­other corner were the stables and gar-

man and (Chauffeur. To enter that house a burglar would have to scale the wall, risk detect1 n from one of the three outlying h ou see', cross a long open'space, and break Into a house which obviously was well pro­tected with safeguards. The more I looked at the bouse the more I bo came Interested. If a burglsr had en­tered and stolen thoe j jewels he must be a man whom tt would be an In­teresting task to run down. But had a burglar entered ? Were there any burglars out of prison Just then who would venture such s task?

1 ran over the list of two-story men whom 1 knew to be at liberty then. None of them seemed of e class to perfonp a Job like this. There was one man whom the Job fitted—Peters, the gentleman burglar—but Peters was in the Federal prison at Leaven­worth and so was eliminated

I spent a long hour studying the house In this fashion; then I went back to the hotel and called up the agency to report for the day Chief Burns himself answereu my call.

"Say, Cornell," he said, "Hgllieter has been phoning the insurance com­pany asking why they don’t send out an investigator to look up hie claim. What’s the matter?"

As briefly and succinctly as 1 could I related all that I have here told

'‘Tha'Tiü^ithe outside," said 1. "That’s why I I’m not reporting at tbs Hollister house."

The chief was silent for s moment."Are you sure her brother was out

there Saturday?” he asked."That’s the Inform lion I got here,"

I replied."Well,” said he, "you go up to the

house and report, and make your in­vestigation. Come back to your hotel for the evening. And for leaven's sake, don't do anything to make them think you may not believe things are all right."~ He rang off.

At the Hollister house I was usher­ed at once in -to Col. Hollister on in­forming the butler of my mlselcn

"Rather late In getting here." said the colonel. He was an old man. and be -wasnet hapjHVJWrin# by W*-ex­pression. He called Mrs. Hollister. She was a young, charming woman, yet somehow 1 could not get rid of the Impression that aha was still—there la her own home—playing a part. To­gether they took me over the scene of the robbery ’Mrs. Holllstor had been accustomed to keeping her Jew­els In her dreeelni table in her room. The room was on the second floor. Saturday night, while they were hav­ing an informal little dinner do wa­

ved find something queer about It." "Why?” T asked."Because.” said he. "Mrs. Hollis­

ter's brother’s reputation Is no secret to me. And Mrs. Hollister's affection for hlm Is known to be almost like a mother’s."

We sat still, and looked at each other for several long, silent seconds. The Chief waited for me t speak

"Chief." 1 cried, "we’d better find this brother right away."

He burst out Into ? " t hearty laugh. "Right, Cornell,” he said. "But

don’t worry. I’ve had the whole office combing Manhattan Island for him ever since you telephoned In what you had foun . If we don’t find him soon the chaae may be a long

Why1" I asked."Because- unless we’re all fools at

reading the signs—tha boy knows something about who got Mrs. Hollis­ter’s Jewels, and If he does I’m afraid he wouldn’t be d sposed to stay on This side of tbe water any longer than he can help."

•Why?" 1 ask 1 agr.ln."The Hollister Jewels are too well

While we were sitting thus a tele­phone call came for tbe chief. It was from Slavtn, one of our men In this city.

"Hollister Is under shadow," was Slavin’» report. "He’s Just reserved

birth on the Franconia, to sail to­morrow morning. He's sticking close to his room 1» the Delmont Hotel in the meantime."

"Don’t nose, sight of Mm on your Ufa, SUvIn.” said the chief, and rang fp 494|

“That about settle» It,” he said, turning to me. "Cornell, call up Mrs. Hollister, get her on the wire, and--»• —111 U» lUUl ISRon TTW-r TT vrw■ wwf1 W» ^fw irshe asks why, tell her It’s about herbrother."

"But why?" I asked la bewilder­ment.

The chief smiled qulsslcally. "Why, because I happen to have a heart and a wife, Cornell/* he said. "I see now how this thing Is going , to work out, and—and I want to spars Mrs. Hollis­ter. Darn it, man, women are made queer. WTO give Mrs Holllstor chant* to—to »ave her brother,”

I called up Mrs. Hollister and asked If she would consent to see me alone without her husband's knowledge

"Whyr* shè demanded:"I cannot say over the phone, Mrs.

Hollister," I replied. "But—It Is about your brother."

There was a silence of several sec­onds. Then came the answer. “Come to the house at once."

"Good," aald the chief, 'Til go with you."

It was night now. end at the Hollis­ter home we were ushered Into the li­brary by a maid Presently Mrs. Hol­lister came In alone and closed the door behind her

"What Is It?" she cried. "What has happened to my brother?"

"Don’t be alarmed. Mrs. Hollister,” 1 said. "Nothing has happened to him. and nothing will—unless you wish It It Is all up to you.’’

"What la It?" she whispered. “O, what Is It? Tell me."

"Mrs. Hollister," said the chief, "hasn’t your brother been pressing you to glvs him large sums of money lately?" -

Her eyes ran from one t the other of ue. seeking to read what we knew She wasn’t acting “ow, and I felt lorry for her.

How do you know that?" sheasked.

"Isn't it a fact," continued the chi >f, 'that Colonel Holllstor refused to give

She was dumb with terror; she strove to speak but the wordj would not come.

"And don’t you know that my aus­picious naturally pointed to your brothdt? And Just now we’ve learned that he’s booked to sail on the Fran­conia in the morning."

"And. Mrs Hollister," said the chief with a gentleness I never had sus­pected him. of, "we'd have to arrest your brother on suspicion if he at­tempts to sail -knowing what we do."

“What do you want me to do?" she cried suddenly, flinging out her arma. "Don’t hiyt that poor boyl What do you want me to do?"

1 looked at the chief."Mm Hollister," eeld he, "we are

only engaged to Investigate this case for the Independent Burglary Insurance Company. Our duty at present merely Is to report that we do not advise the payment of your claim without fur ther Investigation Then we will be Instructed to continue our Investiga­tion at once. Which means that our duty would force ue to take your brother Into custody."

Then she went

and called for her wrap» and the Mg touring car

"Where are you going madame." asked, tha maid.

"I.’ve got to run In to the Delmont Hotel," said Mrs. Hollister calmly, i have an appointment there for this evening."

Late that night Col. Hollister called up Mr. Blaney of'the Independent Burglary Insurance Company.

"I say. Blaney," said he, drop that claim we presented for Mrs. Hollis­ter's Jewels. Luckiest thing in the world Just happened.

PEMBERTON & SON/

CORNER FORT AND BROAD STREETS VICTORIA. B. C.

The question here arleea: What let the economic value ot a man ? For­tunately upon thta point we have not |

only fairly accurate, but very Interest­ing statistics. Professor Irving Fisher. | of Yale, president of the Committee of One Hundred on National Health, compiled an exhaustive report on subject for the Conservative Congress. Ills figures. Interesting In themselves, sre doubly valuable In connection with the work of the hospital social service us showing that these devoted workers are not tilting at windmills but at hard, cold facts.

According to Professor Fisher three million persons In Uncle Barn's doiraln answer tip sick call every morning. This estimate he bases upon the well-known rule bf Dr. William Farr, of England* that for each death per year there are two cases oT Illness.In the United States there were In the year 1807, the year upon which Pro­fessor Fisher based his figures, 1,500,-(-00 rt kths.

Of these three million Invalids about 600.000 are suffering from tuberculosis

preventable disease. One half of these tuberculosis patients are totally Incapacitated, the remainder about- 60 per cent, effective as workers. Every return of a pulmonary C4.se. every case of incipient tuberculosis nipped In the pleurisy bud. every patlept saved from the hospitals for chronic Invalids by the social service arm Is a step towari the reduction of that awful total.

According to Pro few. or Fisher, all lives are useful when Judged bv the hard and fast rule of average, which Ukes account cf every Individual from the vagrant up to the railroad presi­dent The actual value expressed In doilers and cents he puts at $2.900, and the average value _dT the 630,000 dying every year from preventable diseases at $1.700; The latter figure Is lower than the general average In order to equalize the higher average age of the dying. These 630,000 preventable deaths there- tore represent an économie -b»aà -to-tlla country every year of over $1,^00,000,- 000 In potential earnings.

The lose from 111 news not resulting lr. death Is even greater. < >f the three million &H‘k folks one million are In the working period, about three-fourths of the actual workers. These workers must lose, fr-un day laborer to railroad^ president, an average of $7W in wages aper year, making the total loss from Hire*» $600.000.000. Adding to this an­other $5<W)00,0»0 expended In medi­cines, special foods, etc., we find Uncle Sam's total doctor bill every year to amount to $1,000,000.000, about one-half of which Is preventable.—From "The Third Arm of the Hospital," In Hamp­ton Magazine.

Vancouver. March îS.-Thc city coun­cil decided at the last méellng tb «trike a tax rate of 20 mills, the same as last year, expecting to get the $R5.»X*0 cover­ed in the <*stlny*ti*d expenditures but unfortunately not In the estimated re­ceipts. from arrears In taxes which are coming into the civic treasury more rapidly than was anticipated. Al­though a certain amount was placed In Vlie reevpits column for these arrears It is now bWieved that they will ex­ceed this sum and the-council Is. there­fore, taking a chance that they will exceed It to the extent of $95.000.

The council did not actually maTte any reduction In Its total. In fact. It made an addition of about $8.000 Comptroller Baldwin presented a table shbwfnr tmw the amounts stood from the last revision sessions. The total expenditures came to $4.1H3.uOO.V9. with the receipts at $4,087.808.76. showing a balance on the wrong side of the ledger of $95,193.33.

It Was explained to the council by Aid. Williamson ami Chief Chamber- lain that there had been a jnlstake In connection with the police estimates for salaries, making U necessary V» add over 17*000 to the total from tha< standard department ArmrdtYtgly the total of

it had been found that TKe salary'tbfAT did not take*inti» account the necessity of adding 25 piorv men to the force of 220 odd for the last si* months rtf the year. He pointed out that In this cKy with the influx of a cosmopolitan impu­tation It was necessary to have a large and able police force. He Instanced the shooting of a imllceman recently as a case In point.

The mayor said that with the nc-, tug of the Immigration restrictions by

Aid .Baxter charged that the coun­cil could not legally give a special grant of $ô,()00 to the Vancouver Gen­eral hospital as was proposed In view of the fact that an arrangement had been entered Into with the hospital board to pay 45 çent* per diem per capita After Aid. Baxter produced a letter from the as4>*tant city solicitor 4o the general effect that the proposed special grant was Illegal the council voted It out.

You know you are not the same man. and you know you would like to be. You might as well be. It’s easy.

Your body Is a machine.The nervous system Is the motor. Electricity Is the power that runs it. When you are weak it show» you

lack the necessary power to drive the machinery of the body—just like any motor without electricity.

The nerves control thé organ and muscles and electricity supplies to the nerves the power to control. Electri­city is nerve food, nerve life. Wh<>n the supply Is exhausted the nerves be come weak and the organs refuse to perform their functions in a regular manner.

How can you get a new supply “f ' this nerve force—electricity ? Simply

draw upon another supply furnished by nature, la it drugs? No. Drugs are poisons. Electricity Is the nature food of tlje nerves. When the mother's breast falls the ehtld Is fed by milk from the cow. The parent does not go lo a drug shop and buy poisons w*lh

Ottawa. March 28.—In the Commong- to-day when the bill to authorise the granting of a subsidy to the Canadian Northern railway ln_JBrltiaft Columbia from the east to the YeHowhead Puss came up for Its kecond reading, the opposition strongly urged that as a condition of the subsidy this portion of the C. N. R. should be brought under the Jurisdiction of the.-railway commis­sion. This led to considerable discus­sion, Premier Borden taking tb* ground that the railway commission would in any case have Jurisdiction over the through traffic: If any diffi­culty arose it could be dealt with by general enactment rather than by spe­cial legislation. *

Sir Wilfrid Laurier contended that this railway was a portion of a trans­continental and therefore there no reason why it should be exempt from control of the railway board any more than any other raHwey line In Canada. Why was tt necessary to have ^ a special bill Tor* This* porttonoT the" C. N. R ? If this road was being built entirely by the government of British Columbia matters might be different, but -When they came to the parliament of Canada asking for assistance, they must lie made subject laws of that parliament as expressed through the railway commission of Canada.

Premleb Borden said In reply that: the text of the agreement t*etween the

XT. H R. "ah# ffi“«vti»ca did not take the railway out of the Jurisdiction of the railway commission; the rail­way agreed not to avail Itself of*its right to appsal from that commission nnj to submit thé" tolls ‘imposed' by Hie province In regard to local rates. It recognised the board’s authority and other parties could appeal to the rail­way commission. The province, he said, desired to have lower local rates than prescribed by the railway com­mission of Canada.

Hon. O. P. Graham said that he wished It understood that he was not opposed to gWlng aid to the C. N. R-. hut he stood lor the principle that railways should be under federal con­trol. Now was the time when this railway was seeking aid to bring it under the jurisdiction jof The railway commission.

Hon, Flank Oliver a^kcd ^Mr. Bor­den what he eonslden d through rates and local rates. He wanted to know If freight being shipped from the pro­vince of Alberta to British Columbia
