Ontario Loan in 1919

Prepared to Testify Again Before Committee of the

LegislatureToronto, April 8—“l hew

nothing to say to that.” stateil T. W. McGarry. who was Pro vincial Treasurer in the Hearst Government, regarding a front page editorial in The Toronto Globe which stated large re­bates were paid by tin* Home Bank to someone while th ! Hearst Government was in power in Ontario, (before the advent of the Drnry Govern­ment.)

"I havO been under oath and I am prepared to go under oath again/' said Mr. McGarry. referring to sea Fiona of the Public Accounts Com mittee of the Legislature,

"1 think it la very unfair—the reference to the 1818 deposits in the Home Rank. If you go back 1» 1817 and 1818 you will find there was not n great deal of difference. And, as I explained, we had the Resources Committee money there. There were also loans that were put through the Home Bank which would tend Increase the average deposit*.”

Asked specifically about the 842.000 supposed rebate on the Pro vince of *4intarlo loan in 1818. Mr McGarry said:

“I don’t know anything about any money paid on loans. If you look up tho record with regard to the last loan you will find the loan was not finally paid over until I left there. I was asked about that. 1 know nothing at all about comm I selon a. and If they go back they will find there were never any commissions paid, and if there were gny they were without my knowledge or assent.”

DEFEAT OF BRITISH MINISTRY ON ANYVOTEAFTERTHE BUDGET

With the budget only two weeks away, it is undeniable thàt neither Mr. Asquith, the Liberal leader, nor Former Premier StaiHyy M.

Chief Justice Hunter Hears Application in Case of

Gee Dew

Does Not Follow Ruling of the Court of Appeal

Vancouver, April 8—Although the Court of Appeal, bv a ma­jority judgment, decided appli­cations for a writ of habeas corpus could not be made auc- ecsaivelv to juiffees of the Su­preme Conrt of British Columbia, Chief Justice Hunter today an­nounced he had reached a con­trary conclusion.

With' tWd" Conflicting opinions; one coming from the highest judicial tri­bunal of the province and the other from the Chief Justice of British Co­lumbia, lawyers are In a quandary.

When argument resumed* to-day on a motion for production of the Gee Dew Supreme Court oh a writ of habeas corpus, the Chief Justice stated: “I have decided 1 am bound to hear the application. My reasons will be handed down later.”

This view by the Chief Justice is far reaching. Gee Dew. convtoted of an offence against the Opium and Narcotic Drug Act. was sentenced to jail. Should the Chief Justice grant the writ and liberal1 the Chinese there will be no appeal from his order.

. C. AMENDMENTThe Legislature of British Co­

lumbia enacted an amendment dur­ing recent years extending appeals to the Court of Appeal In habeas corpus matters; but the province has no Jurisdiction to legislate criminal law and in this case Gee Dew was charged with an offence against Federal statute.

After Chief. Justice Hunter had an­nounced he would hear the applies- tttm. Harry Bray. Who °fl centum with Henry Richmond for the Chinese, contended" the conviction should be quashed on two grounds, one because hard labor had been in* eluded In the punishment ind the other because a seal had been omitted from the warrant of commitment.

TWO MEN KILLED WHEN STREET CAR

LEFT ITS TRACKSPittsburg, Pa.. April 8.— Two men

were killed tftid four were Injured, two of them seriously, early this morning when a street car Jumped the tracks at a curve and crashed Into a brick garage.

The Government’s future action on the evictions question is now the main topic of political speculation In parliamentary circles and the press, but there is as yet no indication of the course it proposes to take.

IL is noteworthy that after the de feat of the Government's eviction measure a similar bill introduced by Ernest Simon, Liberal, passe» I its second reading without opposition. The Simon bill was almost Identical with the Government bill except the first clause, objections to which killed the latter. This Clause dealt with the reimbursement of landlords whose tenants as a result of unemployment are unable to pay rent.A POSSIBLE COURSE

The Liberals now hope H»«* •eminent will adopt the Simon hill and put it through. Apparently It would have no difficulty in doing ho as both the opposition parties are agreed on its main principle, as they were on

the clauses of the Government bill except the first.

Forty Liberals voted with Labor In the division yesterday on the eviction measure and forty-two did not vote, including Mr. Asquith. Mr. Mtrytt George, Sir John Simon and practl-

They achieved this, the newspaper adds, without “passing be­yond the limits set for them—that ia, without raising the political problem of the occupation of the Ruhr or trying to fix definitely the amount of the German debt, since if the Dawes report gives exact details on the amount of the yearly payments which may be exacted from the Reich, it in no way affects the number of these annuities as regards the part which depends upon the budget surplus of the Reich.

People of Canada Anticipate Tax Reduction Statement in

Budget Speech on Thursday

Ottawa, April 8 (Canadian Pros*}—When Hon. J. A. Robb’, Acting Minister of Finance, brings down the budget on Thursday it is expected he will announce some reductions in taxation, that a balance between expenditure and revenue was reached in the financial year which closed a week ago and that for the first year since the war there was no increase in the net debt. Full figures of the expenditure and revenue for the past year are not yet avail­able, but in customs and excise revenue alone there was an in­crease of $20,000,000 over the previous year.

That there will be reductions In taxation haa already been Indicated by the Government. In the parlia­mentary corridors It is taken for granted the ^des tax will be either reduced or removed altogether from the implements of production, but considerable doubt exists if. in addi­tion. there will l»e an.v considerable reductions in the customs tariff.

Here th# attitude of the Progres­sive* will be of special importance. Progressives have urged not merely a reduced tariff on agricultural im­plements but reductions in the tariff generally.

London. April 8.—-Hie impending dissolution of the South African Parliament is recognized here as holding possibilities of the greatest importance, not only for South Africa but for the Empire.

•The political campaign against the Premier has been gaining force for a long time, while the strength «f the Nationalists and Laborites has bent'Correspondingly growing, and General Smuts at this moment fills the familiar position of a prophet less honored in his own country than elsewhere, though this is not to say that he lacks a following m the Union.

Upon the question Whether General J. B. Hertzog, who stands for republicanism, or General Smuts, with the support of the British community and the “progressive Dutch,” carries the day at the general election events of far-reaching consequence depend.

REPUBLICANISM DISCUSSED The possibility-of a triumph for re-

publleanism Is undoubtedly In the minds of the people here. Sir Edward Walton. High Commissioner for South Africa in London, questioned by The Daily Express yesterday, said;

"It i* very possible a Nationalist majority will be returned in the com­ing election and Nationalism in South Africa stands for republicanism, al­though the Nationalists are not un­derstood to be pressing their repub­lican views.” —UNCERTAIN OUTLOOK

The second" and third years she would pay 1,200.00$,SOS gold marks, the fourth year 1.760.000.006. the ftng- 2.460,000,000. and so on upward.I r-'iu the sixth year the Reparations Commission would exact supplemen­tary payments In addition to the foregoing of 1.400.006.000 guld marks, dependent on a prosperity index carefully established by the Dawes Committee. The supplementary payments under this index couM gradually reach several hundred mil Hon gold marks.A TRANSPORTATION TAX

The supplementary total of 2.466. 060.000 marks would be thus ob­tained: From budget receipts, 1 >06.006,060; from the mortgage o industries C00.000,000

The railroads of the Reich would be transferred tor fifty years to # company with a capital of 16.000, 000,000 gold marks composed of 2.- 000.006.000 in preferred stock, one quarter of which would be sold for the benefit of the Government; 13, 000.000,060 in ordinary., stock, witn dividends depending on the com - I many’s prosperity, and 11.000.006,600 In privileged bonds at six per cent., five per cent, of which would go out as Interest and the remainder go in to a sinking fund. Insuring reper* ment thirty-seven years after the fourth year.COULD SELL BONDS

The bonds to b# blinded to the Reparations Commission would yield 660,000,000 gold marks annually after the fourth year. The Commission would be allowed to offer lie bonds on the International market and thus rapidly çpsllse some 10,000,060.1 marks.

In connection with the mortgage on industries, the report, says the newspaper, points out that the Ger­man Industries have been able, ow­ing to the collapse of the mark, tj free themselves almost for nothing of their mortgagee and Indebtedness, so the experts decided to take ad­vantage of• this situation to benefit the reparation treasury.FOR FORTY YEARS

TW plan provides for the Issuance of bonds to the value of 6.600,000,000 gold marks, secured on the Indus­trial property, to be handed over to the Reparations Commission. These bonds would yield 300.000.000 gold marks for forty yeare. with five per cent. Interest and one per cent, tr the sinking fund.

Industries failing to pay their share of the interest would be liable to seizure.

At the same time the German Gov­ernment would be held responsible for payment, the Reparations Com­mission being ‘entitled to make goO.l any deficiency In payment by sell­ing taxes due to the Reich The ktarantee would permit the Repara­tions Commission to raise é oou.uuu,- 000 gold marks rapidly by placing these mortgage bonds bh the inter­national market.COMMISSION PLAN

The experts. Le Matin says, con­sidered that the problem of how Germany can transfer such large sums abroad without upsetting the International financial market is more difficult than establishing how much and in what manner she would pay.

After a long study they suggest the creation of a permanent cemmitteo of. five commissioners, each being a specialist. with a president ap­pointed by the Reparations Commis­sion and accepted by the Govern­ments. to direct this coBÎffeiM delicate operation.

Extra performance ef Kiwanisminstrel ehow, Thursday, April 10. Tickets gre netting fast. Got yours mimed1 airly. 8t*t-a promptly it s V.p.m u * ooo

^ _ Uto Ki­wanis Club Ml not ref Company at Font ages Theatre yesterday evening, marking the second production un­dertaken by tgie dub in aid of the building fund of the Jubilee HoetBtal. Theatre da irons will recall that a year ago the Kiwanis minstrels made their debut with a very sufsessfu! production, and the reputation then gained en­sured a heavy sale of tickets for the performances te be given on tills oc­casion.

The show this y$»r was under­taken on a more pretentious scale than that pf a year ago, but It 'was frit that the members of the troupe having profited by experience would be able to reach a more ambitious plane la their second venture. The success of the performance yester­day evening entirely Justified this view, and Stage Manager Stocker and hie associates are to be congratu­lated upon the manner In which they rose, to the occasion.

The directors made a rather bold departure from the conventional minatrri production in the sense that Instead of beginning the per­formance with the usual full-dress circle, they presented to their audi­ence, when the curtain rose, a setting showing a Mississippi levee upon which were grouped a number of darkles attired In various stage» of dllspidathm. end a number ef btixort mammies awaiting the arrival of the river steamer. An enjoyable number In this part was the singing of "Louisiana Lou” and '* Unday Lou" by Tom Kel- wny, assisted by the chorus. The ar­rival of the boat, an admirable piece of oceaie setting, introduced Mr. Tom Mery eon as captain, Carl Ktocker and Jack Trace, comedians, who were stowaways, ând Dr. Howard Miller, passenger, a northern show­man who had come South to recruit material for a minstrel show These performers took their parts with the skill and self-possession of profes­sional*. and. more than that, they looked their parte to perfection. FINE COMEDY WORK

The comedy work of Messrs Stocker and Trace, as usual, was capital. Other features of this part of the performance were the cake walk by Ken. FYrguson and BiW Maynard. The former was gorgeous­ly apparelled as a negro dandy, and the latter as a colored belle. This

deservedly recalled several times Another delightful number was the staging of "Sweet Adeline," by a quartetta of negro stewards, impersonated by Jack Trace. Tom Kelway. Walter Pickard and Erneet Butterworth, whose voice* blended most effectively, and who also had to respond several times. <'aptsin Tom Moryson sang “OKI Plantation Moon." accompanied by the chorus, and. like the el hem, had a do it sev­eral times. A novel number wan the singing ef "Three Thousand Years Ago" by Harry Beach. Dave Mac- far lane William Maynard and AI. Sommers, garbed as mummies, with

scenic background representing the ruins ef Luxor. Messrs. Stocker snd Trace won numerous encores by their clever singing of "It Ain’t Ooln* to Rain No MoV Dan Poupard gave a funny specialty act. The first part ended with Dr. Miller, the northern showman, having been successful in hie quest for material, arranging for

rehearsal for a typical minstrel performance Which constituted the

[HMoT part of the shew.THE SECOND FART

This second part was quite In keeping with the excellent standard established by the first. The entire company was heard to good advan­tage in the opening medley, the pre­cision with which they responded to the conductor’s baton reflecting painstaking preparation on the part of the members, and no little credit upon Cecil Heatoh. the Indefatigable musical director. The end men. Carl Blocker, Kenneth Ferguson, Tom Kelway. on one side, and Jack Trace, William Maynard and AI. Meqgen* cn the other, all acquitted themselves admirably, the various exchanges of repartee between them and Tom Moryson. the capable Interlocutor, causing frequent rounds of merri­ment. This part was marked by ex­ceptionally good vocal numbers, par­ticularly the tenor solo. "When Ton and I Were Young. Maggie." by Mr. Walter Pickard, whose beautiful vela* wen unstinted apeletise. "The Gypsy l<ove Hong" by Tom Kelway. a popular favorite and an exceedingly well-sung duet from "Blossom Time" by Messrs. Kelway and BuRerworth. while Tom Moryson In "Gome Back. Old Pal." and Jack Trace In "Dream of Your Hmlle." renewed their tri­umphs of last year.

Mr. Butterworth *s fine lie ri tone voice also was heard to advantage In "Tell Me a Rtory," AI. Meugens gave "That Old Gang of Mins” In a thoroughly enjoyable manner. Comedy numbers In this part were in the capable hands of the six end

The programme closed with a per­formance on the bones by. Alfred A créa, who scored as notante a suc­cess on this occasion aa he did last year. In a programme of ad many excellent numbers It la difficult to. differentiate. If the company erred at all It was on the side of gen­erosity. and ffwould seem to ba de­sirable for the ' directors to curtail aorpe of the features so that the per­formance .could be brought to an end earlierTHE CIRCLE MEN

The men of the circle deserve praise for the able manner in which they rendered their chdrusee, the harmonious mingling of voices and perfect rhythm of alt their songs. Walter Walker. Harry D’Arey. Wal­ter Duncan, Andrew lilyth, Arthur Denny. Albert Hommers. Alfred Greenwood. W. A. Patterson. B. C. Nicholas. Harold Hinton, Frank Thomson. Dan Poupard. Fred Mc­Gregor.

Give Sympathetic Considera­tion to Dominion Exporters,

Says Commissioner

Speaker at Manufacturers’ Luncheon Meeting

Canadian trade office* abroad always endeavored to render a service to Canadian exporters; to get business for them, and had secured large orders. Per­sonally, it put nothing in the pockets of the commissioners, but it .was gratifying to their self esteem to show actual re suits at the end of the y^ar. said P H. Roes, Trade Commissioner to Australia, gn an address to the Vic torla and Vancouver Island branch

.of the Canadian Manufacturera' As- lortatton hi Spencer's dining-room this afternoon.

Australia was ninety-seven per cent. British and Canadian manu­facturers could always rely upon getting sympathetic consideration from the Auetrllan buyer. One feat­ure which helped Canadian manufac­turers was that the pound sterling was usually a little higher in Canada than It was in the United States. WOOL INDUSTRY

Touching on the wool industry of Australia the speaker expresses sur» prise at the entail prices on wool In Canada. He compared the prices of two or three cents a pound in Canada with the,price of forty "cehie for Aus­tralian wool and although he elated the Canadian wool did not equal the high class product of Australia h* saw no reason for the wide margin except that the marketing scheme in Canada was at fault.

He also told how the Argentine had Cut into the Australian cattle buat- neee to such an extent that cattle which at one time were selling at fourteen or fifteen on the hoof now only brought thirty or forty shillings. WORK OF ASSOCIATION

The chairman. Bdwin Tomlin, spoke of the Increasing useful nee* the association was rendering to Cana­dian industry. Exact and valuable information was given on taxation, tariff and other matters of vital Im­portance to manufacturers. • FOREIGN TRADE

He referred to the movement on foot at Ottawa to curtail the appro­priation fur trade commissioners In foreign countries. If there was ever a time when representation abroad was needed It was the present time and it would be far more advisable to Increase the eproprlatlon than to curtail It. Anything that could be dona £> strengthen. the Canadian trade oflttos abroad should be done. It was te a great extent due to Mir. Roes’e efforts In Auetrlia that many ef the exporta to that country were possible.

Outbreak at Central School Halted m Remarkable

MannarReversing the accepted principles

of the game, fire sought out the fire department this morning, as two practice crows were engaged in fight­ing a sham battle on the West side of the Boys' Central School, at $.10 o’clock.

As men from thé Yates Street and Ouches* Street fire halls went through their regular "four fours" on the west side of the building a real fire broke out on the east side. Smouldering all night the outbreak ate Its way up the main staircase and broke into open flame about the time of discovery. Strolling non­chalantly around the angle of the school wall Chief Vernon Stewart halted to the noise of a brittle crackle. He doubled back to the weet side, commandeered two entire practice crews and all raced to the east wing.

The practice wagons were equipped for real service, and the fire lost out under stream* from a chemical tank. The damage, while spectacular la not great.

There waa some debris In a wooden barrel, school officiais learn, under a staircase when the Janitorial ser­vice ended at 1.10 o’clock yesterday in that section of the building, and it IS presumed the conflagration oc­curred by this becoming ignited.

CANADA AND TBÏÏJEUSSEO

British M.P.'s Consider Piet With Turkey, Not Ratified

By This Country

J-ondon, April I.—The question of Canada’s attitude towdrd the Turk­ish treaty, signed at Lausanne, which was broached in the House of Com­mons last week by Blr John Simon, who called the attention of Premier MacDonanld to the denial of Premier K',nff ot Canada that the treaty lm- l*oeed obligations on Canada, came up In the House «gain last night

further questions were asked.Premier Mm 1 »onaM waa asked if I

he remembered that the question originally addrossed to himself on the mât ter was whether Canada Had Hccepted her obligation under the strait* convention rnd that he had replied that he was perfectly sure Canada had so acer pled. Was not thl* reply, the questioner petalJteri. inconsistent with (he emphatic state­ment made by the Canadian rramler that Canada would not accept that obligation nor agree to IBS rtUlflca- tion of the LaoMLani Tfciatf.

Premier MacDonald sgld It was dear from the meaning of a detached sentence uttered by him after he had left the subject of Canada's position on the treaty, that in view of what had happened he was of ths opinion that Canada would do so.

W, M. R. 1 Tingle. Uberaf, Psni- ston*. Yorkshire—Are we to under­stand that Canada iloe* not accept l°e obligations of the treaty!

Premier MacDonald—I refer tba questioner to Hansard for the precise statement of the Canadian position.

Oies of "Oh!”Premier MacDonkM'added thst the

Government of the Dominions had 1m en asked If they had any objection to the laying of the papers on the matter on the table, but no reply had yet been received., ft waa im­possible. the ITemler said, to lay merely one communication on the table. All the communications would be necessary If the position were to be made clear.

In the debate In the British House of Commons oh the Lausanne Treaty Premier MacDonanld said Canada’s position was that the would agr to do what the British Govsrnmai did. In order to guard against pod* •ibis extensions of ths principles of the treaty without warning being given, Canada, desired. Premier Mad- Dnnald said, to retain tor herself cer­tain rights of derision over and rbove the Imperial rights of decision.

Pre­mier King stated Canada did not regard as binding upon her any ef tba terms of the Lausanne Treaty, nor did the Dominion Government concur In the ratification of that instrument by Its signatory pdffars. Premier King added, however, that his administration was not objegflng to such rstiflcatfoft by other ndflfdne.

It is Inferred, however, by soieB In­terested in the question at OttAu that the Canadian Government will take steps to bring about a staid of peace with Turkey by publishing In The Canada Oaxette the royal proc­lamation of peace made by the British authorities.

Good-bye to Jammed Car Rides« rpHANK GOODNESS! I’m

X through with that.” ex­claimed Tom, as he wheeled past the crowd struggling to get on the street car.

"It’s much pleasanter sitting on my comfortable saddle than hang­ing to a strap in a jammed, stuffy car.”

Tom is right. It certainly is a pleasure to ride a sweet - running C.C.M. Bicycle to work these fine mornings!’

There is health in every breath. And the gentle exercise of cycling - is just enough to stir up the circu­lation and put pep into the system.

[ You feel fit to tackle the day’s work.You can ride home at noon, tco,

to a hot lunch if you desire. And, after the day’s work is done, what a comfort to spin- home oh your amooth-running C.C.M. while others are trudging along the hard pavements or waiting on the comer for a crowded street car.

It will not take long to pay for a C.C.M. Bicycle. You can do it with the car-fare you’ll save, or with the shoe leather you’ll save instead of walking on hard pavements. Your time is worth money, too, and a bicycle will save you lots of time.

See the handsome new C.C.M. models, all asparkle with their bright nickeling and lustrous enam­eling.

Committee of Commons Takes up Its Task

Ottawa. April i—The Special Com­mittee on Redistribution was ap­pointed in the House of Commons yesterday afternoon, the personnel being practically the same as that of last year.

Enlargement of the parliamentary Committee on Industrial and Inter­national Relations to include a mem­ber of the Labor Party, probably J. JS. Woods worth, t’entre Winnipeg, would be made, Premier King said.

Neither the validity of the Insur­ant. Act nor the necessity for the continuance of the Insurance Branch is affected by the recent «h-vision of the Privy Council In London that In­surance Is not subject to regulation by the Parliament of Canada, in the opinion of the Government as ex­pressed in the House.

Among other Government answers to questions yesterday afternoon were:

Missions were held in all the peni­tentiaries by both the Roman Catho­lic and Protestant churches during the last year,

Pensioners of the Canadian expe­ditionary force residing in the United States receive their pensions in Can­adian hinds. The Government has not made arrangements ,wtth Cana­dian banks to relieve these pension­er* of the loss they-may sustain by reasons of the discount of Canadian funds In the United State*.

The value of British boot* and shoe* Imported into Canada nearly doubled In the last year.

ST. LAWRENCE PUN CRITICIZED

Deep Waterway Scheme Stirs Suspicions in Buffalo

Senator’s MindMontreal. April 1—Pointed criti­

cism of the St. Lawrence Waterway project was made in an address he fore the Montreal eCanadian Club yesterday by Senator Hepry W. Hill of Buffalo, S.Y., who objected to U aa .a project composed of dreams of painted ships on painted waters em­anating from people of th- central western part of the United States whose knowledge of navigation was mainly confined to prairie schooner t. The*e people were, he said, quite » re pared to send ships uphill to akes without- channels and 'to cltiee

Without harbors to receive them.Senator Hill added thpt :he very

people hi the western State* who ■were so anxious for Canada to help them bear the coat of a waterway* t j help increase their own profits wer••* the people who were determined to keep Canadian grain hnd agricul­tural products out of the United States. He criticised the whole scheme as one camouflaged for navigation purpose* to avoid the riparian law* regarding power, but really hacked by the power Interest «. to sell power to distant United State* cities. He expressed profound dis­trust of the- whole political influenc • behind the project and considered that if It was undertaken it should be don* lot-ally by Canadian prov­inces and New York state.

Under-Secretary of State Paid as Deputy Custodian of

Under-Secretary ot State. In addi­tion to hie regular salary of $8,000, received extra pay to the amount of $4,500 up to January 1. 1922, and $125 a month since that time out of commissions earned by the office of the Custodian of Enemy Property, according to information gtvctn in the House foy Hon. A. B. Copp. Secretary of State, Jn reply to a question.

Mr. Copp quoted legal opinion In support of the payments to Mr. Mul­vey as Deputy Custodian of Enemy Property .WRANGEL ISLAND

Hon. Charles Stewart said the Canadian Government had made a grant of $700 toward Vllhljalmur Stefunseons expenses to England that he might lay the'question of Wrangel Island before the British Government. Mr. Stefansson was not In the employ of the Canadian Gov­ernment.

Harry Leader, Progressive Port­age la Prairie, called attention to a vote of $3,000. mentioned in the Audl- t or-General’s report aa a grant to Mr. Stefansson for the purpose of a relief expedition to Wrangel Island. The Auditor - General had reported that no details of this expenditure bad yet been received and he asked whether the minister had any Infor­mation on the matter.

Mr. Stewart replied tha't the ex­penditure referred to by Mr. Leader had been made In 1*22. The certi­fied accounts had since been re­ceived. He added that when Mr. Stefansson had been in the city re­cently he had made no claims on the Government in regard to the Wran­gel Island expedition.BAFFIN LAND

W, G. McQuarrie, New Westmin­ster. asked about the lease of the southern part of Baffin Land tp Mr. Btefansson. _

Mr. Stewart replied that the area referred to had been turned over to the Hudson s Bay Company.

Mr. Leader also drew attention to expenditure* on cigar* and cigar­ettes for official parties visiting Northern waters.

Mr. Stewart replied that he did not think a reasonable expenditure for this purpose was out of the way, especially where men were sent up to spend the entire Winter In th* Northern regions. There were valu­able deposits of coal on the Island* in that part of the country and it wan deemed advisable to assert Canada’s sovereignty.

Commons Approves Observatory Vote

Topographical and Geologi­cal Services Debated by

- CommonsOttawa, April 8.—When a vote of

$470,000 for Topographical Surveys was being rendered by the Hd’une yesterday afternoon Hon. Cnaries Stewart, Minister of the Interior, said he hnd been steadily endeavoring to" cut the appropriation down a* he thought a good deal of this work could wall.

J. T- Shaw, Independent, East Cal­gary. asked wlhy surveys such a* thorn* of the I>epartment of Militia could not he consolidated with the Interior Department's activities and prevent overlapping.

Mr. Htewait was confident there was -no overlappinifc........- ——

T. O. McBride. Progressive. Cari­boo. deprecated the idea of further extensive cutting of Government sur- \ <-v WOI*. It was doing good and indispensable work and the present vote was not too high.

Sir Henry DNiytÔ* asked a num­ber of questions concerning the exact number of lots sold in Jasper, Al­berta and other government owned townsites and hoped the Govern­ment was not spending money to survey townsites for real estate spe­culation.PRICES ARE SET

Mr. Stewart said there could be ru» private gain involved in the open­ing up of townsites In national parks where the Government fixed the price of the lots.

Replying to questions, the Minister said he had no intention of reducing the estimates for geological surveys in view of the important work being carried on by that branch In the development of mineral resources. The estimates for survey# had been reduced by $100.000 this year in a deliberate attempt to economise.

Robert Forke, Progressive leader, said he wa* impressed by the hope­lessness of getting any of the esti­mates lower. Each Minister Insisted that each particular item could not possibly be reduced. The estimates for surveys could be reduced without seriously affecting the welfare of the country, he thought.PEACE RIVER

Be v era! Progressives com plained there had l»een surveys of the Peace River district too far In advance of transportation facilities. The Gov­ernment. they said, should fallow « policy of restricting survey work to

country which was likely, to get railways' Within a reasonable time.

J. 8. Woods worth. Labor, Winni­peg Centre, asked what was hejng done to tax lands held along rail way lines for speculative purposes.

His question started a discussion of the feasibility of Federal Govern­ment taxation which • would be measure of single tax.

Mr. Stewart said "the Province of Alberta had tried a special tax on unoccupied lands. It had had the effect of making men anxious to get rid of lands they could not work. VALUES INCREASE

Mr. Woods worth said municipali­ties in Western Canada were adding by their latror and enterprise to the

- Iwalue of lands held by speculators. *Yl™'se lands were meant for home

«readers. They should he available for homesteaders npd settlement.

Sir Henry Drayton moved that the item be reduced by $64,450.

The House on a standing vote de­feated the amendment, 63 to 45, nine Progressive* voting with the Gov­ernment. The item then carried. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

When a vote of $275.000 for geo logical survey was taken up In the evening session the Minister ex­plained there waa a reduction, of $50,- 000 from last yeas. 1

J. D. Chaplin. Conservative. Lin­coln, Ontario, considered the reduc­tion made Insignificant. In 1818 Inis service had cost oolÿ $112.000.

Mr. Stewart admitted the service had Increased recently but urged he was now trying to make a reduction. Just as fast as various branches of the work could be ’ dispensed with, the expenditure would be reduced

A vote of $20,000 for expenses con­nected with the survey and de- marnation of sections of the inter national boundary was passed with practically no discussion. ^

WEARING UNIFORMSMen Wearing Army Clothing Without Authority Warned

By Ottawa

Although such losses are borne largely by the department, officers commanding units must bear a por­tion of the cost of the missing articles.

Ottawa. April 8 (Canadian Pres*i Prosecutions have been Instituted

by the Department of National De­fence against unauthorised person# wearing military uniforms and clothing. During the past four years there has been an annual loan to the department amounting to tens of thousands of dollars due to military uniforms and clothing issued to the personnel of the non-permanent active militia being worn by them.

If these dosses continue to occur.It will be necessary to take some drastic action under the provisions of the Criminal Code In order to pro­tect the Treasury and relieve com­manding officers of this undue finan­cial hardship, according to a state­ment by officials of the Department of .National Defence to-day.

The unauthorised wearing of parts of uniforms has become widespread, due largely to the quantity of sur­plus British military clothing being sold by dealers In Canada. A re­cent warning Issued by the depart­ment in this matter has brought numerous complaints from all parts of the country. It la pointed out by "" officials that, contrary to the cur­rent Impression, there has been no extension of the provisions of the Criminal Code and the depart men: merely draws attention of the public to laws that have been in existence for a number of years.

MILL BAY FERRY

CORN BELT MOVES INTO CANADA

'Y'HE com belt »

FERRY connection between Saanich penin­sula and Mill Bay would be a valued

convenience to the people of V Ktona and neighboring municipalities and those of up-lsland points. It would considerably shorten the journey between this district and Shawnigan and points farther north and, par- licularly during the Winter months, would prove a boon to those engaged in motor trame who otherwise must make the stiff Malahat grade. In the Summer it would afford a won- derful scenic route, enabling motorists to do the fstnous Mslahat and the Saanich peninsula in one trip. Nothing finer than that circular tour could be found on this continent especially if

i in it were included jhe marine drive around ' Victoria. f

A company is ready to undertake the ser­vice with a boat which will cross the gap be-

■ tween Saanich and Mill Bay ia hall-bour trips. Ferry slips, however, will hive to be built on

ibolh sides, and the Provincial Government is being urged' to establish them as an integral part of the Island highway which it has done. 10 much to develop. The proposed ferry con­nection would more than pay for the cost of the slips in the reduction of motor traffic on the Malahat highway h would involve, the up- keep cost which of course wuld be materially lesened. The Government naturally wants an assurance that a service would be maintained after it had built the wharves, but considering the possibilities of such a connection we do not think it need have any apprehension on that account. The improvement would soon justify itself under every head.

WHERE FARMING OUTLOOK IS BRIGHTEST

WHEAT farmers in Canada and United Stales complain that farming does not pay. In the Dakotas. Minnesota and Mon­

tana 180.000 farmers have left the land within a year and in these 'states 500 small banks have closed their doors because the farmers were up against it. Even Manitoba's wheat acreage, according to loan company reports, is being cut by twenty per cent, under last year’s acreage.

In an effort to find out what is wrong a survey has been madff of farmers suffering from financial difficulties. Forty-two per cent, of the farmers covered feel their difficulties arc due to low prices of farm products, seventeen per cent, attribute their condition to high taxes, eleven per cent, to high cost of farm labor, ten per cent, to high freight rales, ten per cent, to high interest rates, six per cent, to reckless expenditures during the boom period, and four per cent, to too much credit.

The brightest spot in the agricultural areas of this continent is the most westerly part of the Canadian prairies. The reason is that with much virgin land, land prices are low there compared with the high prices in the older agri­cultural districts, where it is a painful process to get down to bed-rock after the inflated values and easy credits of war times.* Higher grain prices, of course, would wipe out most of the other difficulties. But even fail­ing tliat. the new parts of Alberta and Sas­katchewan will have the advantage from now on because of the cheap land and accessibility whid, reduce the tribute the grower otherwise would have to pay it) high taxes, interest and general overhead.

WHAT $500.000 REVEALED

DISRAELI was recently quoted in these columns as saying that Royal Commis­

sions were established to find out what every­body knew before. . ..... .... , ,

The findings of Ontario § half million dol­lar hydro commission have been summarized asfollows y^t ^ Q.jppgw, Canal and Niagara

.development generally are immensely valuable assets to Canada.

» 2. That the provincial Hydro Commis-don is largely dominated by one man. honest, able, irascible, and determined to have his own way. in the person of Sir Adam Beck.

3. That radical railways are hazardous and often a bad investment.

4. That labor costs Vvere higher during the war and after than they were prior to 1915.

Ontario has spent over half a million dol­lars to secure a report that merely emphasizes the obvious and records what everybody who p,ys the slightest attention to electricity and water powers already knew, Toronto Saturday Night points out. During three years Ontario has had twenty Royal Commissions. About the only kind that was left out was one to help the people realize that they have to pay the bills, and that seems to be the most

receded. __________

moving up into Canada. That, next to the tremendous increase

in the wheat crop of Canada during the last five years, is the important feature in the development of Canadian agriculture.

Corn is the big crop of the United States. Last year there were produced 3,054.395,000 bushels o# corn in United Stales, against a wheat crop of 785,741,000 bushels. The market price of com is only twenty-five cents a bushel less than that of wheat. Its use in industry for various forms of corn products is extending. But the important feature of its production is that it is the basis of mixed farming m the com states where a large part of the crop is shipped to the packers in the form of fattened stock. Until the American tariff was put on cattle imports, animals in thousand lots were shipped from Western Canada into the American com states for fat­tening and finishing off before being marketed.

In the United States the com belt has been yearly moving northward. A few years ago the very idea of trying to grow com in Mon­tana was considered a joke. But last year Montana, which adjoins Saskatchewan, pro­duced 9,000,000 bushels of com. The breed­ing of improved varieties of com which ripen earlier has made this possible, just as the wheat belt in Canada is moving farther and farther north with the advent of hardier varieties of wheat.

Now the com belt is crossing the inter­national boundary line. It js into Southern Manitoba and Alberta, but has ' made most headway in Saskatchewan, where within five years the com crop area has increased from 6.000 to 61.000 acres. Saskatchewan is even growing seed com for the other two provinces. Recently Maple Creek. Saak., was the scene of the first Provincial com show held in any Canadian Province. Fhere were more than 500 entries and Professor Champlin declared that the whole exhibit was far superior to the North Dakota com exhibit which he had pre­pared four years ago for the Chicago Inter­national Hay and Grain Show.

Development of com growing in Canada will make possible the mixed farming which non-farmers, especially, have been so eloquent in urging the Prairie farmer to adopt in place of straight wheat mining. This will mean more permanent settlement ind an increase in the value of the production of that part of the country through much of the grain being shipped out in the form of meats and dairy produce. It will go a long way towards re­making that part of Manitoba, the ills of which are attributed to the fact that it is cropped out. It will stabilize Canada's prairie agri­culture.

Now that Lord Rodney's pension has been commuted, the only other perpetual pension in England is that enjoyed by the heirs of Lord Nelson. He was voted £2.000 a year for life and on his death the pension was boosted to £5,000. payable forever to his heirs. So far this has cost Britain more than £590,000.

Bureau of Labor statistics show that 8.789 farms of Missouri, farmed or supervised by woman, are non profitable than arc the average farms controlled bv men. The report might have added that the farmer's wife is respon­sible for the profits on many of .the successful farms controlled by men.

Scots Picked Winnipeg(XN April ». 1IÎ0, there died broken-hearted

and worn out, at Pau In the South of France, Thomas Douglas, fifth Earl of Selkirk. Baron Daer and Shnrtcleugh. at the age of forty-eight. After La Stalle and Froatenac perhaps, the moat romantic figure in the pa­geant of Canadian story, this scion of the great Scottish house of Douglas had fought a .splen­did fight against great odds and been beaten by conspiracy and bare-faced corruption of tns most flagrant sort In Fppef* and Lower Canada.

By 1110 Lord Selkirk had acquired, along with his wife’s holdings and those of his friends, control of 35,000 pounds worth of the stock of the Hudson's Bay Company out of a total of 105,000. At a memorable meeting in May. at which 4*.000 pounds worth of stock was repre- eented, the Company granted Lord Selkirk aa purchaser an estate of one hundred and ten thousand square miles centrslng about the Ked Hiver of the North and the Asslnabolne. with the obligation on his part of transporting thither at his own expense, a large colony of settlers, equlplng them, defending them. mat­taining and governing them, end undertaking to extinguish the aborigines* title In the soli.At the meeting he was opposed by three partners of the Northwest Fur Company of Montreal, who had hurriedly purchased s certain amount of stock. This was the opening of hostllltlea which almost wrecked the BarVs magnificent project and in very fact did bring him to his grave.THE band of settlers which. In spite of under-

bended obstruction engineered by the North-West people In Orest Britain, Lord Sel­kirk had succeeded in placing at the fork of the Red River and the Asslnabolne. where v* In- nlpeg stands to-day. was attacked by every means fair and foul by the agents and accom­plice* of the North-Weet Company. These poor. Scottish crofters whom It had been Lord Selkirk’s object to provide with a new, free and prosperous life on the far western plains, were terrorised and harried, and numbers of them driven by a mixture of armed force and fair promises far away from the settlement. Fin­ally the Governor, a number of hla staff, and several colonists were massa ceil *t Seven Oaks, not far from the alts of Winnipeg. In byhalf-breeds instigated by the partners of the North-West Company.

The Earl of Selkirk, already In Canada by the end of 1316 on his way to rescue hie colon­ists. was hindered In every way by the ruling cliques of Upper Canada and Ix»wer Canada, who were hand-lniglove with the powerful North-West Company partnera Sir Gordon t>rummond, the Interim Governor-General fol­lowing Sir George Provost, either could er would do nothing. Ills Ltrttohlp did manage to obtain the commission of magistrate for the Western Territories, received a grant of a ser­geant and six privates of regulars where he had asked for real military protection for the lives of his settlers, and enrolled as colonists on pay nearly a hundred soldiers Just disbanded at the end of the War of 1113 With these he pro­ceeded to the Red River where his soldier- settlers seised hla fort end settlement from the employees of the North-West Company, who were in possession wrongfully and bÿ force of arms.

TllK - IdrAi .colt.-ee girl la pictured by the Xtudente lit rpper Iowa University aa fol­

The development of the mental capacities la much more certain to be normal In quality and rapid In quantity when the physical powers are strong. She should, therefore, ewlm. skate and hike with pleasure

She should devote proper time In her sched­ule of work to those activities not connected with her claaawork. The gtrl who gives her entire time to the preparation of her class as­signments falls to secure that complete and liberal education and preparation for life which should he part of every glrfs training. The Ideal girl la not, therefore, neeeeeartly the one whose graded are the highest.

She should he genuinely feminine In all her conduct and Ideals. She should net foregt the high and exalted place she holds In the world of morale and etiquette/

She should be full of life, hope and optimism, she recognizee completely and humbly the

authority of the creator of the universe. Ir­réligion and Independence certainly prevent the highest success In college work and hamper and ultimately completely destroy the success that might "be obtained In later life.

188 MARGARET BONDF1ELD. the re­cently appointed Parliamentary Secretary

to the British Labor Ministry, eatd the other day ;

”1 believe every woman should know what It means to have to work for a living. 1 believe that girls who are workers before their mar­riage are better qualified as authorItlee on coot of living details and as household managers than the average girl of the sheltered life. Work lends a woman polge. one of the greatest gifts in the world; one that is essential to the gaining of *ny disputed right-'!

Miss Bontlfteld herein hss sung a song that ought to be on êvery talking machine record in the world.

She has preached a sermon that ought to be amplified and emphasised In every pulpit of the world .

She has set In vibration a message that ought to bo sent out by radio through the efrth daily.

It Hi an old gospel, but it seems rather dif­ficult to find anything that is |>oth new and true. All parente should teach .t to their chil­dren. all teachers should impress it upon their pupils and every grown soul that Is looking for salvation should lay it to heart, for in it lies the t-edemptlon of the individual, the secret of happiness, the way to health and about every other good and wholesome thing that one can think of.

It Is—WORK.Work means performing some kind of ser­

vice for our fellows which they are willing to pay for. Anything else that may be called work le ornamental.

And, aa Miss Bondfleld intimates, regular and responsible work is so necessary for women *■ it la for men.

"The beat cure for flappers la work. As a rule those who work do not flap.

' The beet medicine for dlssattidied wives la, work. Probably as many women Wrlft Into one corner of the eternal triangle t>4 cause of hav­ing no regular occupation as for any other reason.

That so many women past fifty beer me restless, soured and dissatisfied la because* they have never learned any trade or profession.

And better than having any sort of lif# In­surance money would it be, on the death of her husband, for a woman to have mastered some useful calling.

Of course there are times; there are cir­cumstances; and tfrere are exceptions; but the general rule remains that nature has so con­stituted all human beings that, unless they are mainly engrossed in some kind of labor and service for their fellowmen. and that service of such a nature that their fellowihen are willing io pay them for ft. tfie chances are strongly against their being healthy, decent

• and normal.Faith l« good and hope is better and Toys to

beat of all; but no one or two of them or all three of them are of touch avail to the man or woman who bas not learned the Joy of work.

ACTUAL road tests all over Canada by our test cars, proved that the Dominion Tires made by the Web Cord and

Sprayed Rubber processes stand up under the most gruelling punishment that the roughest roads and climatic extremes could provide.

With the extra dependability you have, and the greater mileage which you have always had in Dominion Royal Cord and U-cord Tires, you now have the assurance that you are get­ting a thoroughly-tested and proven advance in cord tires—the greatest that has been made in tires since the cord itself was developed.

These extra values do not add to your tire expense. They are exclusive values in Dominion Cord Tires, which cost you nothing.

APPROPRIATION FORMoney Voted by Commons;

Between 2,000 and 3,000 White People in Country

Ottawa. April 8.—An appropriation of $ I SO.<W>n for the government of the Yukon territory wi^ approved last evening by the House of Gommons.

The vote was made up of three items, the first , being 165.600 for salaries and expenses connected with the administration of ttie ter­ritory. the second a grant to the local Council of $48.000, and the last 170,000 for maintenance and con­struction of roads.

George Black. Conservative. Yukon, asked why the last item had been reduced by $10,000 from last year's vote. It was the most useful of the three items, he said.

Hon. Charles Stewart, Minister of the Interior, said there had been a substantial Increase in this vote last year, but previously It fi*d only been $50,000 a year. The increase had been made last year in order to give access to the mining areas which were not served by the ratitray. It was thought $70,000 would take care of the work this year

The department was not consider­ing the advisability of cancellation, the Minister answered. That would not be fair to those who had paid up In full for their pre-emptions. However, the department did not in­tend to press unduly those who were having- difficult lee In making their payments.

BUSINESS BETTER. ENGINEER ASSERTS

A. J. T. Taylor Sees Big Pos­sibilities For Central Heat­

ing PlantsA. J. T. Taylor, president of the

Combustion Engineering Corporation of Toronto, a native of Victoria and well known here, Is in the city on a trip of Inspection of his company's western work. In an Interview he stated that from hie point of view Industrial conditions throughout Canada are distinctly better than last year.

Canadian coal is getting much well-deserved attention, and while the public mind is principally Inter­ested In coal for domestic purposes, large Industrial companies are chang­ing over their plants so as to he able to economically replace Ameri­can coal with the lower and cheeper grades of domestic fuel. Mr. Taylor said. He Instanced .the Ford Motor Company at Walkerville. Ont , for whom his rompanv hav*» recently completed the largest pulverised fuel installation in the British™ Empire. He also eutld that the city of Win­nipeg has Just placed a véry large contract for pulverised coal handling and burning equipment to be In­stalled In their nek- central steam heating plant and steam standby sta­tion at Winnipeg, the total coat of which approaches 91.000.000. The steam station will «use Souris lignite coal mm fuel, and hopes to produce steam at a lower cost than any plant In Canada.

.BIG COAL RESOURCESAlberta contains immensely valu­

able coal deposits that will eventu­ally be made available more gener­ally throughout Canada by first be­ing put through a process of low temperature to romorr at! the mois­ture and some of the valuable by­product*. and thaf then the result­ant . heap coke may be shipped in pulverized form aa an industrial fuel, or briquetted to form a domestic fuel Mr Taylor expects 4o see Alberta coke and by-products shipped from Vancouver.

Asked what he thought of central steam heating plant here, he eald that the Idea Is sound, and deserves every encouragement. Not a pound of wood refuse should be burned without giving some useful return and m central steam plant Is one veri- good way of profitably utilising the refuse from local sawmills, and also of eliminating the present serious smoke and fire hasard. A central •team-heating plant could, at a vary lew operating cost, produce some electrical energy a* cheap power to use in the vicinity of the plant, the expense being practically limited to the interest and maintenance chargea on Ike capital Investment, required for the steam turbine and electrical equipment, the steam generated for heating purposes being first run through the steam turbines before being used at a reduced pressure In the heating system.

Many eastern manufacturers are looking favorably to the British Co­lumbia Coast as a place to hut Id factories, partly on account of its all- year-round climate, eliminating the heavy espenee of heating during the Winter months, and affording as well Improved living conditions for their -employee*, and partly for the advan­tages accruing from the cheaper water carriage of raw materials in and finished products out.

“Standard Pittsburg boiler tubes cost us 28 cents a foot In Toronto and only 27 cent» In Vancouver via the Panama Canal.*' said Mr. Taylor», adding.

"No amount of sentiment can stand long against a stubborn fact like that/' _______ ___

Yesterday evening at supper time members of the family knocked on the door of the cottage and found It locked. The knocking brought no answer. This morning when another summons was still unheeded they be­came alarmed and forced the door, when the gruesome discovery was made.

The late Mr. Ruddock kas known as a clever engineer, who had been engaged on drydock work at the new graving baeln since June 3, 1933. Hé was popular with his business associ­ates. and hi» death comes a great shock. Born In the United Kingdom. Mr, Ruddock camé" to this country many years ego He saw service, overseas with the British forces and returned to take up civil engineer­ing In this city.

For some time he was assistant Federal Government engineer in charge of operations at the new graving ha win. and then Joined forces with the Peter Lyall interests, re­maining in charge of an important section of the drydock work.

The Canadian team is playing in Vancouver to-day against the main- . land all-stars and will come over on : to-iporrow mornln’s boat, arriving j here at 3 o'clock.

After ! the game the team is to be ban- j quetted at the Dominion Hotel and j at midnight will sail on the Cana­dian-Australian liner Niagara for Australia.

Vancouver is banking strongly on giving the tourists a beating to-day and the locals will try and repeat the dose here. The mainlanders ars turning out a very flashy team.VISITORS ARC STRONG _

Individually the Canadian team is very strong. Each man has been picked for hie position due to out­standing ability and Is generally recognised as the peer at his job. Col­lectively. however, the team may not perform as brilliantly due to a cer­tain strangeness on the part of the players. However, as the Victoria and Vancouver teams are also hand­picked aggregations they will be un­der the name handicap so that the affair should produce some specta­cular Individus’ work.

Victoria has selected a team that should give a very good account of itself.

It Is expected, of course, that Cobb will come around in due time and take his plaoe In centre along with Hellmann and Manush. who are to be the two other, regular infleldera.'

But Cobb will not stay In the lineup If he finds that playing la an effort. Çed Wlngo, a Georgia collegian, who came to the big leagues from Toronto, where he hit .352 last year, will be pressed into service. Wlngo will be

■y BILLY EVANSMost hall player* an- hlgh-atHbnr, decidedly **n»ltlv*.It is really amusing how . a sharp passage of words will often stir up

trouble. /In baseball, pitchers have a habit of "dusting off' certain batters. In

the slang of the field, "dusting off' a batter is throwing a fast ball so close to his head that It will tend to drive the batsman hack and make him sucker for a curve hall.

It isn't a sportsmanlike practice, but H Is often Indulged in.. There Is never a desire to actually hit the batsman, it is merely a weapon of Intlm idation, a threat.

Some years ago. in a game between Boston and St. Louie, played In the latter city. Jimmy Austin wan the batsman and Chet Thomas the Boston catcher. Thomas is now a minor league manager, but Austin still sticks In the big show. _____

"Dutch" Leonard, pitching for Boston, threw a fast one so close to Jhnmy'a chin that he was forced to drop to the ground to escape being hit. Getting to his feet he Jurned to Thomas and took the Boston catcher to task for his methods.

"Don’t get so chesty," replied Thomas ns he smiled rather sarcastically, "We only 'dust off* the good hitters. Wasting df perfectly good fast hall on you would be the height of foolishness."

Now consider what the big hearted Mr. Baker has done to give the Phil­adelphia fans a season's entertain­ment. •BANDLOT "BEAUTIES"

Hie two most promising pitchers among the newcomers are Howard Carlson, a Pittsburg discard, who was drafted. from Wichita Falla, and the ancient Karl Hamilton. No other major league club thought enough of Carlson to buy him. so he fell to the frugal Mr. Baker in the draft.

Hamilton, long since through as an effective workman, was picked op for nothing, a free agent.

Benny Helgeth and Leonard Met* ere the outstanding Infield prospects. All Helgeth cost was car fare from Chicago, where he played semi-pro ball, to Ix>eehurg. A vicious rumor Is afloat that he was even asked to make the trip In a day coach. Mets came from the Nebraska State league and must have coat all of six bits and a red cravat.

Two other "million-dollar beauties" on Mr. Baker's enormous pay roll are Fritz Henrich and Fred Krtslnger. Henrlch, you know, la that greet left-handed outfielder you’ve been reading so much about. What! You

««ever heard of him? Why. he was a star in the Philadelphia Twilight League last year.REFUSES TO SPEND $0,000

And surely Krlalnger needs no In­troduction. Krlainger was a right- handed pitcher on a Chicago sand-lot team last year. ...There are only 4.786 sand lot teams In Chicago and young Fred wa* a pretty good pitcher on one of those «quads, we'll have you know.

National League baseball in Phila­delphia ought to tie boycotted aa long aa the present nickel-nursing policy la maintained. Newspaper writers with the club tell you atK>ut a cer­tain minor league pitcher who was recommended lata year. The pitcher met with the approval of Art Fletcher, the manager. The coat was 88.000. The open-handed Mr. Baker, however, decided that was too much monev to spend on a laat-place ball club, so the pitcher went elsewhere.

The Phillies Intend to fifiish eighth again thia year with an unchanged Uneup. except that Powell, outfielder, and Ford, second hase man. who came from Bostoif in the deal for Cotton Tierney, will be on hand.

Ladysmith Fans Not Altogether Pleased

Over Soccer Final

Special to the TimesLadysmith, April 8.—Ladysmith le

proud of the showing its soccer team made in the face of overwhelming odds at Vancouver on Saturday in the final for the II. C. title. At times they only had eight men on the field. The Ladysmith view of the game is that while th# referee may have been Justified In sending the Ladysmith players from the fileld. he absolutely neglected to eee fouls on the St. An­drew's aide, aa even the supporters of the horn# jeam had to aumu that Grelg, of the Saints, fouled several limes and was as guilty as either McCormack or Campbell.-

Ladysmlth will meet HI. Andrew's in NanaimoXm Saturday week for the replay, and even without the services of Chapman and Anderson, who leave for Australia with the All-Canadian team, will give them a run for their money on a good field and with neu­tral linesmen.

Merchants and c'.tlsens of this town "are naturally kicking that so many of the football matches are away from home, and If one consider how few games are played at home, he can rightly understand their view.

of a curtain a heavy door swings shut at the closing of an act. That afforded a double protection to the actors in case their act failed to register. In the olden days members of the audience were wont to voice thflr disapproval of an act by throw­ing certain missiles at the players.

Spotting Youth" is an automobile racing story by Byron Morgan, author of ‘"What's Your Hurry.” "The Roar­ing Road.” "Excuse My Dual” and other popular Saturday Evening Post stories. This story is said to be one of the “fastest” of Its klnti ever con­verted to the screen.

Should Root OutRei-Tonguei

Monster of Divorce“The greatest meance to progress

is divorce. Many of the foremost thinkers and theologians of the age are sounding a warning note that unless the divorce evil is curbed, the sanctity of the home will be a thing of the past.

"Marriage is the most sacred thing in the world. Unless the observing of the marriage ties is viewed with sacred thought a nation cannot live. The e acred ness of the marriage bond has been responsible, for the great strides and progress of the Anglo- Baxÿn race in the past.

Dr. LeMoyne, who is sounding clarion caR to all ministers and min­isterial bodies to curb the divorce evil; recommended that everyone go to see Chester Bennett's produc­tion of "Divorce." now showing at the Playhouse Theatre.

RALPHDELIGHTS CROWDED

Programme of Magic and Illusion Staged With Bril­

liant SettingsRalph Richarde, çonjurpr de luxe,

opened at the Royal Victoria The­atre last night to a well-filled house, despite numerous other .contemporary attractions. With engaging frank­ness Mr. Richards asked hi* audi­ence «not to believe all they aew, and then proceeded with three hours of excellent entertainment.

Staging hia illusions on an elabor ate scale Mr. Richards made gener­ous use of color effect*, and showed himself to be a master of optical and other Illusions.

Fantail pigeon*. Pekin duck*, bantam fowl, white rate and a little grey rabbit, all very much alive, ap­peared In traditional manner. The nfbbtt, In time-honore* custom, ap­peared from under the coat of a mem­ber of the audience, to the accom­paniment of great merriment.

Rink* borrowed from the audience went through a harrowing few mo­ments In which they were shot from a pisuol but retrieved without evil effects. Cabinets, proven to be empty, became occupied with gaily attired attendant*. Fish bowl*, rice bowl* and tables doubled, trebled and dis­appeared with lightning rapidity.

From a hat of email proportion* Mr. Richard*, drew about ten dozen egg* to the bewilderment of two little helper* drawn from the audience. They were rewarded with a tx>x of chocolate* each. A magic ball tapped spirit answer* with engaging readi­ness. A white handkerchief turned into a lilliputien ghost and did ghoulish dance at the beheer~ot it* master. Chaire, walking stick* and bell* danced without visible agency.

An empty glass cabinet, trussed with ribbon*, became occupied by dainty maiden In the mere flick of a cloth.

In the levitation," Mr. Richaru* ostensibly mesmerised an attendant and raised her some foils feet from the ground, pausing hoops over the sleeping form to Indicate that ma terlal agency had not been ueed.

By these and other Illusion* the master conjuror staged a clever per­formance. and one which held a crl tical audience to their seat a for al most three hours of swiftly moving programme .

In crystal gastng Mr. Richard* de­veloped Some excellent merriment, and offered a reward of |300 to one questioner if hie question did not

ov •• to be correctly answered. The question was about a lost fountain pen. Mr Richard* knew where it was. and backed hia assertion with the $300 challenge.

In this and other ways Ralph Rich­ards treated a Victoria audience to a first vvluws procession of mysticism, where in colorful stage effects and faultless management aided in pro­ducing a very entertaining pro­gramme.

The performance will continue all this week, with a special matinee for ladies only on Friday, and a child­ren* day at the Saturday matinee. The children, promised the magician, will find a boat of pel bunnies and a stack of chocolate* awaiting their ad­vent.'........... "—

Alice Terry atDominion Came

to Front QuicklyAlice Terry Is th* consummation of

all the tales sbout a school girl who entered the motion riClW field and won heir way to success by her own efforts. For once. In thinking of Miss Terry, one need not remember the number of failures chronicled in Hollywood- merely how one girl reached the sunlight.

Miss Terry, who plays the leading feminine role in "Scaramouche,” the new Re* Ingram-Metro production i:ofrilng to the Dominion Theatre, lived In Indiana before she entered the movlee—Vincennes, to be exact. Two years before she became known because of h*r work In ”THe Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” she attended school In her own town living the usual life of the small city girl, and dreaming the dreams of ambition.

On a visit to Los Angeles aha wasinduced by some of her friends to lo­an “extra” for * few day*. She dis­covered she liked pictures and stayed. At that time Rex Ingram, who Just becoming, recognised sa a promis­ing director, was looking for a certain type of girl for Metro's production of "Hearts Are Trompa,” his first as­signment for this organisation,

She was so successful in the film that.when Ingram was given his com­mission by Metro to. do their most important picture of the year. 1 banes' "The Four Horsemen of the Apoca­lypse." he chose Mise Terry again She was "made,” and the school girl of eighteen months before was now s star of the film firmament. Her Char­acter In the picture was a victim of a loveless marriage, who fourni relief In a love affair with a gay Argentinian

Miss Terry has a sympathetic role in "Scaramouche." Rafael Rabat Ini's story of the days of the French Revolution gives her a splendid op­portunity as the proud Aline de Ker- cadibu who loved the hot-hea4ed young . noble despite his reckless fights against Royalty for the People's Cause.

"Rear*mouche" la a Rex Ingram production for Metro adapted to the screen by Willi* tloldbevk. John F. Seitx ^photographed the picture.

"Bavu" Powerful Story of Life in

Russia After WarThe things that might happen don't

happen and the things one never expects come on the flash of the reel in "Bavu," the wierd mystery picture which Is the Universal-Jewel attrac­tion at the Columbia Theatre. It opened there yesterday.

"Bavu” la a mystery drama Immcn ■ely successful on the stage and transcribed to the screen with strong measure of dramatic intensity. It la one of those pictures that hold audiences spellbound and breathless. The title character, Felix Bavu. is played by the inimitable Wallace Beery, "master vllllan” of, the screen, while beauty reigns supreme in the person of Estelle Taylor, the film vamp." who In this plays an arinto

cratio heroine. Forrest Stanley. Sylvia Breamer, Martha Mattox. Nlekolal de Ruts; Josef Bwiekard, Harry Carter and Jack Rollens have other roles.

An illiterate Least of a man xlaes by sheer force of personality to the heights of leadership and then strikes det to get what he wants during a thrilling human upheaval. Opposed to him in one man of courage and refinement, who takes the Princess under hia protection and fight* a lone fight against the forces of greed and brutality.

We Grow New Hair in 90 Days

Stop Falling HairThis New Way

or Your

c Money RefundedWa have discovered most all falling, lustreless hair due to Infected Sebum. Now quickly over­come. Hair regrown on 91 heads in on* hundred

Thie is to offer you new hair—lustrous, beautiful, attractive—or money refunded.

It offers, too, to stop falling hair.If we fail, the treatment costs you noth­

ing. Your own dealer gives the guarantee. Hence you assume no risk;

Thousands of women have made this test. Results are amazing. The charm of wonderful hair is now available to almost anyone who chooses to have it.

Why 6 Women in 8 Have Dull, Unattractive Heir

Science has made many amazing dis­coveries. It is now known that hair roots seldom die from natural causes. They can be revived in many cases—given new life.

We have proved that in our own experi­ence by regrowing hair on 91 heads in one hundred. •

The method we use is new. Two years of exhaustive experiment were spent per­fecting it.

Now many world-great dermatologists employ the ingredients. Some charge as much as $300.00 for a similar basic treat­ment.e Falling hair, dull,lifeless hair; hair with­out sheen or lustre—6 women in 8 have it.

- We have demonstrated that the reason for most of it is a very simple infection. An infection of the Seoum, the scalp oil. This new way quickly overcomes it. It

starts to act almost instantfy. The effect is soon marked.

The Infected Sebum In Your HairSebum is an oil. It forms in the glands at the

follicles of the hair. Its natural function is to lubricate the hair.

But frequently it becomes infected: It cakes on the scalp; dogs the follicles and plugs them. Go to the mirror. See it on your scalp, either in the form of oil or when accumulated and dried with other ingredients, as dandruff.

Germs by the millions breed in it, then feed upon the hair. Soon your hair begins falling. You note too how lifeless it appears. In a short time, all the natural lustre and beauty are gone.

But—and note this scientific fact—remove the * Infected Sebum and the hair revert* back to the softness and brilliancy it displayed when you were a schoolgirl.

The Van Ess treatment accomplishes that result. We know you will doubt it. So we guarantee it.

New Hair grown in 90 days. Falling hair stepped. Your own dealer gives you our guarantee to do these things if you ouy a 90-day treatment. If we fail, your money will be refunded by us, without argument.

We urge you to give this new wsy a fair trial. It is folly not to test it-; for remember, you takr no risk. More than 300,000 women have made this test.*

Go today to any drug or department store. Obtain the Van Ess 3-bottle treatment. With it you will get a signed guarantee.

The rallies were more Impressive than they have been for some llttla U.me and the declines of a point or so in the active list ran the market into dull periods In which comparatively few stocks changed bands.

"Judging from the weakness in cotton, stocks and graliF- yesterday , the big operator wee appéreqtly sell­ing in all markets."

New York. April I (by A. Bon 1 Wire)—Cotton oplnlohe of New Yorn firms to-day are:—

Munds A Wilson- Expect the mar­ket to continue upward.

Hubbard Bros.—While the reaction may possibly go somewhat further we see no reason to change our opinion that unW mills have ob­tained more cotton, the tendency will be toward better prices.

Weld A Co.—The current reaction may extend a little further. On any break from present levels, we recom­mend purchases.

Hents 4kf Co.—We think that a forecast of the market might revert to one of the goods and weather sit­uation.

Housman A . Co.—The spurt In drygoods activity toward the end of the week, lost Its momentum when the cotton market turned week yes­terday. wit hmuch of last week's de­mand seemingly satisfied. After a rise of nearly BOO points from the low prices reached near the end of Man h. a hundred point reaction i« not surprising, and whether the mar­ket will react further or not at thli Juncture, we believe, depe^e large­ly on the weather, whffch for the moment seems favorable.

city library as compared with that of laat .year, by the council sitting as an estimates commit­tee last iiight. This year the Library Board asked for >he ■um of $28,780, and after a lengthy argument the committee voted the •uBi of 825,000 to cover library ex­penditure», and this amount will In­clude the fines taken in by the library staff from tardy subscribers.

VERY NARROW MARKET IN CHICAGO GRAINS

This shows that some business Is being d Receipts suggests <b*t the crop la closely marketed In many sections. However, the big stocks at Kansas OIÇ^:9ltamanÿe4U and Chicago keep the trade from becoming Very 'bul­lish end «he crop news Is also gen ©rally satisfactory. Cable# indiffer­ent. Foreign news Indicates a slow demand generally, although arrivals on the other side are going into con­sumption with but little accumula­tion. v

The situation In wheat la pretty well balanced but with nothing red! col of la buliiah~eort It in hard to stir up any enthusiasm. On the breaks, We believe the market will run into rather good support but would not core to follow the rallies, under ex ieting conditions.

Corn: The shipping demand Is not up to the normal degree of activity and with mill feed prices cheap rets tlvely In all sections, the alow call for com le explained. With the opening of navigation, hpwtver, be­lieve that the shipments of corn will show there has been considerable business. Receipts have been a little bit larger the past few days, and this will have some effect. In the north west, farm worti la well along and some marketing may be expected. Elsewhere, the movement Is likely to be light until after com planting.

The market te two-sided, but there Is too much pressure on the bulges for the moderate demand.

CHARGES DISMISSED

Baltimore. Md.. April 8.—The state athletic commission last night dis-

{nissed all charges growing out of he recent bout here between Harry

Greb. middleweight t Upholder, and Fây Reiser, of Cumberland. Benny Franklin, president of the Olympia A.C., which staged the bout last week, before the commission charged that John Snyder. KeysdT's manager, had approached him an attempt to have the referee disqualify Greb and thus give Keysey possession of Greb'e title.

Snyder characterized Franklin's statements as "damnable lies."

Chicago, April 8 tBy B.A. Bond Wire)—A very narrow market pre­vailed in to-day's wheat trading, fluctuations being confined to half a cent per bushel TUS chârtge Wee toward lower prices and while the decline wae email the market ap­peared to be weak all through the session. Sentiment toward the close veered around to .the abort aide of wheat again. Perhaps the weakness In oom futures, which averaged a cent lower had moat to do with the decline In wheat. Prominent brok­ers were reported on both aides of corn to-day. Cash wheat wee one cent lower while cash corn lost half ta three-quarters of a cent. The market le too narrow to evidence any trend.

as the city’s policy this year to grant no increases in salary to the staff of gny other department. In­creases for the library staff were pro­tested.CHAMPION LIBRARY

Alderman Christie, chairman of the Library Board, and Alderman Merchant, championed the • library, but went down fighting against over-

helmlng opposition. Alderman Woodward moved an amendment that the sum be 82R.OOO and tl\e Library Board be asked to revise their expenditures accordingly. He protested against the fines being taken into consideration as the law •tated that thky belonged to the library. “We are evading the law In asking for the fines." he said. We are asking thorn to estimate on some­thing that doesn't belong to us."

In moving his motion Alderman Sargent claimed it was not penury to ask the library to get along on 825.- 000. He pointed out incidentally that from other sources the library re­ceived 12,288 last year. As a former chairman of the Library Board he emphasized that he fully appreciated the work the library was doing, but ak he stated later In the evening "we were going to a lot of cutting when We alerted on thews estimates. We haven’t done much yet. And when we come to strike the rate we shall find that we are In a bad position."

"It to easy *to say cut the expendi­ture." protested Alderman Merchant, "but look at the items. What can you cuL I suggest the aldermen go over each Item and say where the ex­penses can be lowered. It to easy to •ay cut. We coaid say cut the Mayor's salary."

Alderman Andros—You never sug­gested It.

Alderman Marchant—No. I nev would. I would not even suggest cutting Alderman Andros’s salary, which I consider Is the least neces­sary.EFFICIENTLY RUN____

No city InetlturirmrYts went on to state, was more thoroughly and ef­ficiently run. It had at the head of It a librarian who iga* the equal of any librarian throughout Canada In point of ability and knowledge. There were toss books of fiction used In the Victoria library In proportion than In any other library In Canada, but to the librarian's policy of encouraging good reading. He wae lauding the library for the service to tourists, when Alderman Andros shook hie head.

"You shake your head but you don’t know,” he ehllded Alderman And roe.

“Not one per cent of them use it.' Alderman Androe declared Alderman Andros stated that he noticed pro vision for an Increase of salaries. They were increasing the salaries in no other department, why do It In the library? He urged the council to stick to the policy of no increases.

The council had no control ovér salaries in the library, the MayorIHilnted out

Alderman Marchant—You can vo(* a smaller amount. What la to pre­vent them from going on for ten month» and then closing the library?

The Mayor—They would be foolish trdttoee.

REMOVAL OF DUTY ON MACHINERY OF

SAWMILLS OPPOSEDOttawa, April With a request

that there be no change in the du­ties on logging, sawmill and lumber­ing machinery and equipment, a de­putation waited upon the Premier and Hon. James A. Robb. Acting Minister of Finance, yesterday. They presented three petitions, the first from British Columbia manufactur­ers, and the second from those In Ha stern Canada, and the third from the manufacturera of locomotives used in lumbering.

It was explained by I* M. Water- ous, of Brantford. Ont., that the coming of the delegation was due to the fact that the British Columbia Loggers’ Association had submitted a memorial to the Government ask­ing for removal of the duty on log­ging and lumbering machinery and equipment.

A petition submitted on behalf of the British Columbia manufacturers set forth that the majority of those engaged In logging in British Co­lumbia were United States firms, who wanted American made machinery In Canada. Machinery of a satisfactory character and design was being manufactured at present by Cana­dians in the Province of British Co­lumbia. ..Plants for the manufacture of this machinery had been built up unGer the present moderate protec­tive tariff, and this shpuld be con­tinued. U was claimed. _ _

Mr. Watereus. on behalf of the Eastern manufacturers, pointed out that over ninety per cent of the ma­chinery used In logging end lumber­ing operations wae new made in Can­ada. Canadian prices were baaed on .the co»t of production and not 6n the extent or protection given the twduetry. A decrease in the duties wootd reewtt in, 8ho dumping of UnU-

On Sunday evening the home of Mrs. B. Trenchard caught fire and whs burned to the ground. The or­igin of thé fire Is unknown but fire had been lit in the heater and about a quarter of an hour later the occupants left the house, to attend church. It Is supposed that the fire must have caught the rug or wood­work near the stove. When help ar­rived the inside of the house wai practically a total loss. The only articles saved were two chairs and a table. As it happened there WAS n< wind to spread the fire. The resi­dents of the adjoining houses turned water on the roofs of their homes so that no more damage resulted from the fire. Luckily, the house was in­sured.

Mrs. G. Blight and her two child­ren have arrived here from Calgary. Mr. and Mrs. O. Blight will make their home In Sooke for the future.

Tlie many friends of Mrs. A. Camp­bell sympathise greatly with her in her sad Ives of her mother.

A masquerade dance will be held in the Sooke Hall under the auspices of the Sooke Orchestra on Friday evening. April .25. at 8.30 O’clock. Good prises are being offered and It Is thought that the dance will be one of the most successful of the season.

FOR THE CHILDREN

Uncle Wiggily and Toppy Snowtail

Copyright. 1H4. by McClure News­paper Syndicate

( By Howard R. Gar Is >

There were two little donkey boys, once upon a time. Their names were Tippy and Toppy Snowtail and they lived riot far from Uncle Wig- gily'e hollow stump bungalow. Tippy and Toppy slept In a barn.

As I have told you. Tippy was so- called because he was always tip­ping things upside down. He tipped over a bottle of vinegar and «pined tt In the eyes of the Boh Cat. Tou heard that story last night.

"But I don’t tip things over, do I. mother?" brayed Toppy. who had a tail, snow white on the and. Just as hi* brother had. >

“No, you don’t exactly tip things over, Toppy. my dear,” answered Mrs. Snowtail. "but you have an­other trick which is almost as bad."

And Toppy had. I am sorry to say. Ills trick was thin; He was a playful little chap, and loved to spin tope. He nearly always had a top In his pocket and every chance he got he would spin It.

But the funny thing about It was that often, when Toppy threw hie top down hard, to make It spin, the top would fly up and break a window, or hit some old animal gentleman on the nose or do something like that. Once Toppy’e top flew into the water while hte mother was washing the dishes and splashed her all over.

That’s why this little donkey boy wri called Toppy.

"Tou see! I told you!" Toppy wae always eager to spin his top.

So the little donkey boy took out his top, with the string wound around It. and. Just as he was behind Uncle Wiggily. Toppy threw his top hard on the ground—for eo you must do to spin a top. you know*.

CHAPTER XXXIV

OUT OF THE DEAD PAST

M tdvl >n aped through the corridor to the sanctuary of her room, clutch­ing Julian Barton’s letter ugau-bt her br*ast.

She wanted to be alone when she read It.

Her heart waa beating wldly. She was as agitated ajt she would hsve been by his bodily appearance.

Thin wan what she had anticipated when she had pleaded with him not to write. Why had he disobeyed her? What had prompted him to write now that it was all too late?

Once ill the refuge of her room With the door locked, she looked again at the letter.

It was postmarked in I»ndon al­most «Smooth before. He had senvit In care of Ann. who had forwarded It. One of the other letters In the little handfüY<"handler had given her wax from Ann.

Khe tore It open first, postponing the moment which Barton's letter promised.

"Dear child": wrote Ann. “This same mall will likely bring you a let­ter which I strongly suspect is from One who means a great deal to you.I hope that you have found some meed of peace by this time, and that I am not doing wrong In forwarding you this letter. If happiness-4e on the threshold of your heart, and I un­wittingly frighten It a we y and re­open a <-toeing wound, 1 shall never forgive myse'.f. For several days I threshed out the pro and con of It, and finally decided that 1 had no Woral "right to keep Julian** letter from you. That there I* no hope for either of you, I am miserably as­sured, as 1 had a long talk with Ste­phen before he started West.

“I miss you and Barbara more than I like to admit. It is a very lonely old woman who signs herself.

"Ever yours,“ANN."

Madelon dropped Ann’s, letter in her lap. |ler eyes turned to that other square white envelope with- its foreign stamp and Us clear, strong, upright hand.

Unwittingly a vision of Julian Bar ton seemed to rise from it, as thoTigh It contained some strange spiritual emanation which had the power of visibility. She could see him clearly as he had been that last night when she had hid him goodbye forever, ■he could see the splendid tall Strength of him, his broad erect shoulder*, the shapely head with its thatch of dark hair, and the clear

st ralgbt - forward grey eyes contrast­ing so oddly with tne bronxe of hla lean, handsome face. She could hear again the voice that stirred her heartstrings, and feel the steaffy strong comforting clasp of his hands, the magic thrill of his lips.

For the second time that day, she sobbed aloud In her loneliness and longing.

After a time she grew calmer. Her sobs ceased and she raised her head from her folded arme and wiped away the tears.

It would not do for Chandler to come in and find her dissolved in woe again that day. Soon he would be­lieve that he had married a weeping Xtobv. — -----------

She bathed her eyes and touched the lids with powder, re-arranged her hair, and came back to the room where the letter lay.

With com pressed lips, she picked It up and started to tear open, the flap ....

Then, very slowly, she laid it downagain.

Why open it now that It waa too late? Whatever Julian Barton had to tell her, could not help her now. It could only wring her heart with her hopeless désire, make her regret even mora deeply the hasty marriage she had made.

She had been right. when she begged him not to write. What overpowering Impulse could have caused him to break his word? '

Hhe remembered the letter she had written in her despair that afternoon

the train. She recalled how she had re-read It. torn It to bits, and scattered It to the winds.

.Had Julian followed such an un­governable impulse and through some mtchance, failed to^destroy his message?

She would never know!Slowly and deliberately, she tore

the letter across and across. Then, striking a match, she knelt before the empty fireplace, and applied the light to the fragments.

They biased momentarily; then rank down into a quivering heap that dissolved at her touch.

Fram-lneo and «tied et noon the following day.

Madelon, leaning on the deck rail, with Chandler lounging Inddlently beside her. watched the shore tin# of California slowly receding from view.

Then, with a little sigh as of one who sees a chapter closing, she turned and went forward, raising her eye* to the promise of the horizon beyond the Golden Gate.^

Throughout the day that followed, she was content to lie in a steamer chair, watching the blue, undulating waves with half-closed eyes. Her thoughts would drift back to the life •he was leavlpg far behind, despite her effort to look ahead. Ip* spirit, ■he was crossing the Continent with Barbara, she was in London with Julian Barton. Even Duane Farley claimed her thoughts briefly. Of Apn Ordway she mused frequently. She had written to Ann before she left, annuonclng her marriage. She won­dered what Anil’s comment would be when she received the letter.

She Withdrew from the friendly ad­vances of her fellow' passengers. They 'were a motley crowd, mostly boupd for the Orient. She found them quite uninteresting.

It wag not until thé third day out that she suddenly awoke to the realisation that Clnuidler was rarely at her tMi.

Usually she breakfasted in her stateroom where the steward* brought her tray, but Chandler made a point of Joining her when she came on deck an hour or so later. They lunched together, and then he would vanish until dinner time. After th« meal, he would again disappear, and late at night, long after.ahe had re­

tired. she would hear him come dawn to hie adjoining stateroom.

It seemed to her that he walked haltingly .aa though he felt hte way along the corridor. Sometimes he ■tumbled. »

One night, he stopped at her door arid knocked.

She pretended not to hear, but he jpersteted and called her name softly.

She climbed out of her berth. 'Rung a light wrap ground her shoulders and opened ther door an inch or so..

He was standing directly under the electric light. His face waa ter­ribly flushed, and he swayed from sid,e to side with the rocking of the •hip.

Inexperienced ps she was with such thing*, her instinct told fiev that he had brm drinking, and She shrank back and made to close the door, but- he wae loo quick for her and Inserted a foot in the opening. The action almost lost him his bal­ance. Hie eyes were mocking, mall-

“Oh," you needn’t be afraid of me." he assured her, a bit thickly. “I oaly want to show you something. . ."

He thrust his hand into hie pocket and drew from It a roll of bills which ho waved before her.

"See this Not a bad haul for one evening, eh what ? . . . Unlucky in^ love, lucky -at carda," ho quoted and laughed sardonically.

With that, he lurched across the corridor to his own stateroom and banged Qie door.

She closed her own door and Crept back to bed. She was trembling with fear and disgust. She knew now where and how Chandler spent hi* days and nights. Often, as aha passed tfre card-room door, she had thought she heard his voice. Wae he really a drunkard and a gambler ? Wa* that why he roved the wide world over, seeking new compilions, new prey? Was that how he earned the money which supported him la ease?

She recalled, too. Chandler’s evi­dent agitation when she had men­tioned Farley to him. Was Farley one of his victims?

Alderman Woodward, who adjourned the da- hate when Alderman Marchant mad? his motion and also suggested that V mighf, be advisable to take reverted lands off the market for a ltme, was prepared to speak on the subject but was ready to bow to the wishes of the other aldermen to let the matter stand over for a week.

A statement, on the matter pre­pared by Alderman Wpod ward was later presented to the council.

Alderman Sangster considered there was pressing business which should he glyen first consideration.

T-he time had come, Alderman Mar­chant thought, when a vote should be taken on the matter, but the mo­tion to poetixme the discussion car­ried.

The resolution of the Real Estate Board favoring taxation of Improve­ments on land to the extent of fifty per cent of the value was presented, and also laid over.

Alderman Woodward declared to Comply with the request of the K* *1 Estate Board would be a breach of faith with the clftsens.

SAANICH AGAIN

Should do More For Memorial Avenue Upkeep, He Says

Lots of Speeches But no Spades, Says Aid. AndrosSaanich was again accused by

alderman Merchant at the meeting of the Council sitting as an esti­mates committee last night, of look­ing to Victoria to bear its burden. Alderman Ker started a lengthy dis-, cussldn on Memorial Avenue, the outcome of which was that the mayor when he meets the Reeves of the outlying municipalities to discuss the enlargement of the juvenile court Will ‘ also discuss the upkeep of Memorial Avenue, Alderman Ker ■uggested a special committee of the Council co-operate with the Cham­ber of Commerce committee.A DIVIDING LINE

Brigadier General. R. P. Clark, overlooked the fact that there was a dividing IjRà between Victoria and Saanich on Memorial Avenue. "Our end la all rVghf." he said: “It is the Saanich end that la neglected. It should be a legitimate charge upon Saanich. Oak Bay had offered to supply the labor for watering the trees.

Signs specifying the Victoria and the Saanich end were "suggested by Alderman Andros. Any criticism then will be on Saanich" he said. “We have done all that could be expected of ua. We were told every­body would get busy with spades, but Outside of speeches nothing has been done except that which has been done by the city through the Parks Committee. These*'signs may bring Saanich to its senses and do away with the Impression that the city is negligent. Saanich should look after that part of Memorial Avenue within its own gates."

Support for Saanich was forth­coming from Alderman Woodward. There should be, he said, an equable division of the costs. Saanich he pointed out. had a greater mileage on Shelbourne Street Than Victoria, and it was not fair to ask that municipality to pay more for what was a general memorial to- the sol­diers. not only of the city hut of the district. **

"That was the Msswkeii tfetnorlal Avenue was first started/' remarked Alderman Andros. —,------- --J

A plea for greater precautions in regard to automobile traffic near hospitals was made by Alderman Harvey, who advocated big disc signs, as used in American-cities, be nlaced near the hospitals as'a warn­ing to motorists. This, he declared, was a matter of vital importance. Silent rone* were generally set in V.8. cities, he pointed out.

The présent by-laws on parking were not wholly popular with the merchants. Alderman Sangster re­marked. and called for careful con­sideration before their final passage.

t WOODWARD URGESOpposes Marchant’s PlaijNo

Stiffen Market Price

Presents Statement to the City Council

Strenuous opposition to Al­derman Merchant's plan to make the assesseti value of re­verted lauds the minimum sale price was expressed by Alderman Woodward in ««•statement sub­mitted to the City Council last night. Alderman Woodward criticized the assessed values, declaring that the assessment pa­pers should contain a fair and fearlessly frank statement of the po­sition of the property, ills state­ment reads as follows:"MISCHIEVOUS ERROR

He claimed that reverted lots should be freely riven to people who would build on them.

"The resolution moved by Aider man Marchant requires that reverteû lota shall not be sold at less than their assessed value. It is assumed that ‘sale values* and ‘assessed vat uses’ are or should be synonymoui terms. Tha council 1* seriously asked to give formal and official rec­ognition to a basis which is founded on a vulgar and mischievous error. As a matter of fact, sale values and assessed values are by no means the the same in any civilized commun­ity, and no resolution of this or an* ether council can make them so. The sale value of land is a residuary oi untaxed value, it the portion of the value left after the tax require ment* of the state have been satis­fied. Thus. If a parcel of land is taxed at $100 yearly, and is offered by the owner for sale at fl.000 ti­the re by* clearly indicates that In his opinion the land has not been taxed to its full value and that he still re­tains an equity of $1,000 In the property. He claims that the prop­erty is worth $100 a year and a capi­tal sum of $1.000 In addition. TK full value Is therefore $3.000. assum ing^that the annual value is capi­talized at twenty years purrhas- The parcel In question should there­fore Ik» assessed at $3.000 and the tax rate to yield $100 would be 33.2: mills.
