SHOPKEEPER'S FAILURE.

SELLING TOBACCO ANDCIGARETTES.

A CASE OF INEXPERIENCE.

"This is a e»?e of inexperience in con-ducting a business, but there is no sign:">f dishonesty.'' remarked Mr. G. N.Morris. Official Assignee in bankruptcy,this morning at the close of a meeting:of creditors in the estate of ThorvalAuders Frederick Jensen (Mr. Kaiman).

Bankrupt's schedule showed owin<» tounsecured creditors £454 14/2. and tosecured creditors £1012. The value ofthe security given was estimated at£106."), leaving an apparent surplus tocontra of £.">3. The assets were: Stock-in-trade and fittincrs. £200; book defcts,£40; rash. £17 P.'lft: furniture, £30:

and surplus of security eiven. £53:total, £340. leaving a defioiencv of £1144/4.

Mr. Morris said the stook and fittingshad realised £120 odd. There was prob-ably a little to come from sections uponwhich payments had been made.

Debtor stated that he rented a shop |in High Street and started business in jMarch. 1928. He put in £200 capital.Iand afterwards another £V>. During |the first nineteen weeks he lost £70 to !£SO. His main line was tobacco and ]cigarettes. The business did not suc-ceed. He paid the rent to date andmoved to a shop in Upper Queen Street.His wife looked after the shop and bank-rupt got work at a timber mill nearTaihape. Last Friday the principalcreditor put, the bailiffs in the shop, hav-ing towards the end of la-t year sued for£43 4/11 for rent for the three months

since the shop in High Street wasvacated, also f...r the rate* till Junenext, total £94 IV-V A di-tress war-rant was issued, and the shop in UpperQueen Street seized. Bankrupt then filedto protect his other creditors.

Under examination the bankrupt saidhe owed about £1">0 when he left HichStreet and hoped to make "rood in the

j other shop. He would when he got workI try to pay off his creditors. No resolu-! tion was passed by the creditors.

The enguieer-iig outlook is more promising, and phip-omlding has maintained its new vitality.Finally, the coal trade, helped in part bythe winter weather, is as least able toreport comparative activity.

"The weak spot is the textile trades.Bradford reports a renewed fall in rawwool prices, which restrict production,anil while conditions cannot be «aid to beor the best in the industry, at the samei.irue they cannot be said t« be whollyunsatisfactory. The demand for piecegoods ha* been, restricted by the Bombaynots and the Chinese New Year holidays.and the decision of the spinners ofKijypUan cotton to introduce short time;iwira an ominous appearance. The

situation seems to be that, as inprevious years, a spell of comparativelyflood trade is being experienced whichshould last until April. Moreover, thecurrent quarter m some respects is prov-ing to be a more active period than thefirst, ijuarteT of last year."

WOOL VALUES.

GENERAL POSITION SOUND

COMPLAINT OF TOPMAKERS

In Tiew ©f th# declaiming tendency otthe wool market during the past fe-wweek* the* following comments by thewell-knoirn Sydney wool brokers, MessrsWmchcombe, Carson and Co., datedFebruary 6, are or special interest: —

"Though «ome irregularity has beenpxperienced in -wool values of late, thelikelihood of any marked setback inrates is remote. When even a limiteddownward movement is seen, some per-sons will always be found who anticipatethe whole of the trade losing confidenceand prices showing a marked fall. Whenthe market is on the rise, those of thatturn of mind are equally pessimistic ofthe disaster ahead when wnol gets toodear. Fortunately the majority of tio.sewho handle wool are more balanced intheir ideas and recognise that wool valuesare never stationary indefinitely, and theextremes in low prices and high pricesonly_ result from unusual circumstances.

"Xothing has arisen this season to pro-duce an extreme movement in the marketone way or the other. Wool is 10 to 15per cent cheaper than it was a year ago.Supplies of it are more plentiful. Top-makers in some quarters complain that"Hough margin has not existed betweenthe cost of wool and the price ;hey havebeen able to get for tops, that complainthas been registered on many occasion*.Hut the raw material has continued tomake satisfactory rates. The man whoconfined his activity solely to the manu-facture of tons may not have done well,but the millman who manufactures goodsm all stages from tops to fabrics has notbeen so badly situated.

"Much has been heard of poor trade.But during the eleven months ended lastNovember Great Britain exported nearly139 million square yards of woollen andworsted fabrics, not quite I per cent lessthan in 1027. France's exports of fabricsto the end of October were 5 per centgreater than in 1927. Italy's exports for the«ime period were 10 per cent greater,and Germany had maintained herforeign business. In most countries ex-ports of tons displayed a decline, but themaintenance of trade in fully finishedpoods does not look as though the priceof wool was pressing too severely on thewho used finished woollen materials. It irather appears that the topmaker wasbeing squeezed between the textile maker•ind the wool market. That is unfortunatefor those who specialise in topmaking, butit does not necessarily mean that woolprices will suffer unduly. The situationwould be stronger were topmakers doingwell, but even it pru-es for the staple werelower, combers might not find themselvesbetter off. They might find themselves 'under jiist as great a pressure from those |who buy their goods."

ELECTION PROSPECTS.

For the cause that lacks assistance,For the tcrong that needs resistance,For the future in the distance,And the good that toe can do.

The lively and candid Mr. Garvin againdiscusses party prospects in the cominggeneral election in Britain. Previously lie gaveLabour a majority, but now he apparentlythinks that Mr. Baldwin may "snatch a ban.'working majority out o£ the three-corneredgamble." The Parliamentary strength of theparty, however, is "quite certain to be vastlydiminished." This last prophecy is in linewith general opinion, even in the party itself.The Conservative majority at the last electionwas much too large to be permanent, and wasout of proportion to the party's strength in thecountry. In the interval it has disappointedexpectations. Mr. Baldwin himself is aspopular as ever with the public, lie has norhowever, kept a strong hand over his Cabinet.The Government's domestic and foreign recordinvites attack in several respects. Disappoint-ment of hopes of trade revival will turn manvdoubtful votes to the Labour Party. Theprominence given recently to distress inmining areas will tell against the Government.The Prince of Wales takes no part in politics,but his tour of these areas is likely to cost theConservatives manv votes.

The Labour Prty -will benefit by dissatis-faction with the present Government's record,and will win many votes by its promises of aregenerated society. It has, however, praveweaknesses. Mr. Ramsay MacD'uiuld hasserious faults as a leader, and he is a delicateman. The party is split from top to bottomby differences about the degree of Socialismthat is to be the objective and the periodwithin which it should be reached. Mr.MacDonald, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Henderson and.other moderates look at Socialism as some-thing to be achieved in the indefinite future.The extremists from the Clyde and elsewherepour scorn on this idea. They wan: Socialismin full and they want it now. In neither ofthe other parties is there such a wide and deepcleavage. The moderates have more in commonwith the Liberals than with these wildexponents of the cla.-s war. For the LiberalsMr. Garvin holds out little hope, but it i-possible that his forecast will be falsified.Their weakness is that the leadership of Mr.Lloyd George continues to divide the party.They have, however, both money and men.They aim at putting up s<>o candidates. Theyhave also ideas. Their valuable studies of thecoal and land questions suggest that they haveconstructive ability out of proportion to theirnumbers in Parliament. A leading Libera!declared the other day that they were "out fornothing less than a complete Liberal mjority,"but few of the party can really believe thatthis is possible. What they do hope for is thatthe party will be strong enough to hold thebalance of power.

BRITAIN AND AMERICA.

Of late there has been too much talkingabout Anglo-American relations by public menon both sides of the Atlantic, but Sir AustenChamberlain's speech, reported in our newsto-day, is not in this category. He fore-shadows a new offer from Britain to theUnited States concerning armaments. Britainhas admitted a parity between the UnitedStates naval armaments and her own. Shehas never made such an admission to any othernation, according to our Foreign Minister, andthe differences which have arisen with regardto parity have not been differences ofprinciple, but merely differences which havecome from the many difficulties of applyingthe principle of rjarity to the different circum-stances and conditions of the two countries.There is, however, a verv vital principleinvolved. If Britain granted what Americameans by the freedom of the seas she would begiving up the weapon of blockade, which wasa great factor in securing victory in the war.In the meantime, two other speeches of ,t

conciliatory character may be noted. TheBritish Ambassador at Washington says thatGeorge Washington must eventually prove thegreatest link in the chain of friendship andcommon understanding between the UnitedStates and Britain; and on the other side Mr.Coolidge said only a day or two earlier thatthe people of England felt that even in thedefeat of their arms abroad Washington carriedtheir ideals to victory at home. This is anaspect of the American victory over '"theunnatural parent" that Americans are apt tooverlook. Many of the best minds in Britainwere opposed to the coercion of the colonies,and the victory of the '"rebels" bore fruit iuthe development of autonomous governmentin British colonies during the nineteenth cen-tury. These almost simultaneous referencesby the President and the British Ambassadorto the founder of the Republic should softenAmerican feeling towards England.

THE CITY ENGINEER.

The City Council will have 'to considerimmediately the appointment of an engineer totill the place of Mr. W. E. Bush. It should beobvious to councillors that the proper pro-cedure is to call for applications in Britainand Australia, as well as Xew Zealand. Theduties of the position are such that theservices of a first-class man of wide experienceand proved organising ability should besecured. The city is growing, difficultproblems involving engineering skill aridjudgment lie ahead, and as time passes theimportance of the City Kngineor's positionwill steadily increase. Whether the cityproper expands or the idea of a metropolitanboard is realised, there will be a chief civilengineer in the metropolitan area, and it ismost essential that he should be a man ofoutstanding ability. For the right man i

salary of .£2OOO a year, or even more, wouldbe well justified; he would save the communi'.ymauv times his salary every year.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

Where North Meets South,Ihe Hon. P. A. do la Perrelle, Minister of

Internal Affairs, who hails from Southland, hadin his triUoU in the Far North occasion to ex-press surprise at the number of South Islandpeople lie had met. "At almost everv town anddistrict I visited," he said, "there "was somefamiliar face to see in the gatherings of the goodpeople that received me. It pleased me greatlvto imd that the Southerner and the Northernerare intermingling, to their mutual advantage 1am certain. It seems to me that the Aucklanddistrict can iind a place for the Southerners, andthe Southerners for the Northerners.- '

Classes in Horticulture.Providing the scheme receives support classes

are to he commenced immediately at the Seddon-Memorial Technical College for students wishingto be prepared tor the diploma examination ofthe New Zealand Institute of Horticulture, inHorticultural botany and zoolo-y. The principal,I Lr- :'■ liirk - ln- a communication with the secre-tary of the Institute of Horticulture, points outthat these classes cannot proceed unless an enrol-ment ot at least fifteen pupils is made. It isthen-tore essential that all interested in the pro-nation ot the Horticultural Diploma classesshould take active steps to ensure that the enrol-ment at the classes is sufficient to permit theirlieiug continued.

Dilapidated Rotorua Baths.That the work of replacing some of the dila-

pidated bath buildings in Kotorua has been leftto,. long is the opinion of the Hon. E. A. Ransom.Minister-of Public Works, who has just concludeda visit to that district. The Mayor of KotoruaI ,'"•.': V -"''Lean), in bringing the matter beforeI 'He Minuter ..n Saturday, said if the buiklhmswere under the direct control of the local borou-hcouncil it was just a que-tion whether or no,,they would be condemne<l as unlit for further useIho Kotorua people ],; ,d a definite promise fromthe late (.overnment that the pavilion bath wouldbe rebuilt when Waitomo Hostel was finishedbut as a matter of fact onlv £±2 was spent ontne buildings during the last financial rear TheMinuter promised to bring the matter before

( ahmet. which had already had a report as tothe cost of replacing some of the buildin-s. Planshad also been prepared for the reconstruction of\\ hakarewarewa m such a manner as to [.reservethe best points of the Maori architecture.Fruitful Whangarei.

Opportunities were afforded the Hon. P. A.de la Perrelle. Minister of Internal Affairs, onhis visit to Whangarei. to see some of theorchards and vineyards of the district AnvSouihlauder." he stated last night in an inter-view, "would be -urprised at. the wealth of fruitsgrown ,n the North. Although somewhat hur-

| ne.l as my visit was. I had an excellent chancejot seeing some of the tine orchards and vinevardsot Whangarei. Of course, up there thev have atropical climate, and can grow some of the fruit,the South Island cannot, bin what plea.-ed me agood deal was the energy put into their work bythe fruit culturists and the enthusiasm disi.lavedregarding their products. That is a fine "spiritand I do like to see it. After all, the people ofboth islands are one. and we must all forge aheadMouther, our aim being national in tile fullestmeaning of the word."

Twentieth Century Preacher.■" Ihe twentieth century preacher mu-t have

convictions backed by courage," -aid tne Rev. \V.•1. Klhott. ex-president of tiie Methodi.-t Confer-ence of New Zealand, at a special service held:n I'itt Street Church yesterday afternoon. Headded: "He should be

"

more eager to proclaimhis certitude than his doubts. Mo.-t people hawenough d,,u!,ts of their own. He mu-t be anintense lover of man and <b>d. Self-determina-tion and cj.ass-con.-ciousness arp ; M ti-n-ifyinir. andthe minister who does not come into sympatheticcontact with men will not tit the age in whichwe live. He must be a man of insight and vi.-ionin order to give inspiration to his people. Theage wants preachers ~f strong personality- whoknow the round of life, who are acquainted withthe sorest problems, who have a broad under-standing of men and a catholic charity, and whoare not afraid to mix with all sorts'and condi-tions of men. It is ;,u age when men would fainbelieve, but find faith very difficult. There is allthe greater need that you should cultivate anintelligent and sympathetic understanding of thepresent-day intellectual and practical conditionsin relation to your message. - '

Racing at Home Advocated.The Minister of Internal Affairs | Hon. P. A.

de la Perrelici is opposed to country racing chinsholding meetings away from home simnly withthe object of making money. The .Minister madehis attitude abundantly clear on his Northerntour, which was undertaken primarily with aview to making himself conversant with racingconditions, arid matters appertaining to the issueof "floating" permits next year. "I want tomake myself conversant with the racing positionbefore advocating the •floating' permits," said theMinister on his return to Auckland last evening."I told deputations that I wanted to consult theRacing Conference—a body of men who givetheir services free—before coming to any decisionin the matter. I also explained that I was op-posed to them racing off their own tracks witlithe object of making money, but the case wasdifferent if their courses were undergoing im-provements. That is my firm conviction, and [

have been most explicit, on that point. The'floating' permits for this year have been allo-cated to Whangarei anil Waverley, the matterhaving been decided before I assumed office."

Island Lore.Captain Victor Brisson. of the American

yacht Wanderlust, now in port, has traversed theSouth Seas for nearly 20 years. He was for sometime in the service of the French Government ascaptain of the Mouette (in English the Seagull).This vessel was used to maintain communicationbetween the French island possessions in theSouth Pacific, and carried the Governor andMinisters on their official visits of inspection tothe various islands. He is an enthusiastic studentof the Polynesian language as well as history,and speaks most of the dialects. He is collectorfor the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, and directorof the museum in Tahiti. Trophies and reliesof historic value are collected, and drawingsmade by the captain are sent to the museum.He is also a collector of songs of different islandraces, and though many lyrics have been lost intheir passage down the ages, he is not discour-aged, but picks up a little here and a little there,pieces them together, and tries them out on oldchiefs for help and correction. The same systemof procedure obtains in regard to the languageof the races where words have been lost or falleninto disuse.

The "Educated" Gurnard.The shades of night were falling fast as a

patient fisherman trailed his line from the railof the Stanley Bay ferry wharf. New and sharpwas his hook, fresli and tempting was the baitof beef, and hopeful was the angler's expressionas his fingers responded to the unmistakable••tug-tug-

' of a gurnard. A couple of ferry pas-sengers stopped to see the fun. but though thefish was unmistakably having a nibble at thebait, it obstinately refused to swallow, andpatience went unrewarded. The fisherman wasquite willing to let the onlookers havea try. but he held out faint hopesof success. "I've been after him for nearlyan hour.'' he said. "I know the sort; he's nottoo small to take it, and there's nothing wrongwith the tackle, but he's one of those educatedones—plenty of nibble but no bite!" The twoassistants were reluctant to give up the quest,and one was so confident as to back himself tobind the fish within ten minutes. Sad to relate.he ]o«t the bet. As hi- friends expressed it."another triumph for popular education.'*

THIS WEEKS GREAT DAY.

FEB. 25.—THE FIRST ENGLISHPROTESTANT MARTYR.

(Copyrighted.)On February •!:■>, 1401, the first Kngii-h

Protestant to die for the sake of his faith wa-burned at the stake, the victim being WilliamChatrys. whose name is pronounced and generallyspelt Sawtrey.

Considerably more than a century prior to thepublication of Martin Luther'a epoch-ma rki u ;

doctrines, which led to the establishment of theProtestant faith in Ureat Britain. Kngland wa-the scene of a revolution against the teaching- otthe Church of P.,me started by the follower- ot'John Wycliffe, who were known as Pollard-. Thi-nanie, which was derived from the Dutch word"lollen," to sing softly, was originally applied tothe members of an association for burying thedead which had been founded in Antwerp in l.'uoand was later used in Kngland to de.-cribe th.-disciples of Wycliffe. who were supposed to concealturbulent motives under a guise of religion.

The Lollard movement "reached its height mEngland during the ten years following the deadof Wycliffe. which took place in L'iS4. ""and diningthat period it is said that about half the nationwere Lollards. Although the doctrines of theLollards were gradually suppressed, they undoubt-edly paved the way for the Reformation of thesixteenth centurv.

Chatrys, who was a parish prie-t in Norfolk,became imbued with the Lollard doctrines, withthe result he was summoned before the Bishop •>;'King's Lynn early in 1400 to answer charge., ~fheresy, but he secured a full pardon bv making apublic recantation and was transferred to theChurch of St. Osyth. in London, where he 5,„.-,began to preach (.pinions similar to those whichhe had denounced as heresy in his recantation.

He was placed on trial'before the Convocationand admitted the eight charges preferred again-thim, which were as follows:" (!) That he wouldnot adore the Cross on which Christ -nffered. butonly the Christ who suffered upon it. (-J) Thathe would rather bow to a temporal king thana wooden cross. (3i That lie would rather honourthe bodies of saints than the true Cross, -uppo-ingit were before him. (4) That he would ratherworship a man confessing and repentant than theCross of Christ. (.">) That he was more boundto worship a man whom he knew to he pre-destined than an angel of God. (C) That if anvperson had made a vow to visit the holy place-at Rome or Canterbury, or anywhere 'else, toobtain some temporal benefit he'was not boundto fulfil his vow literally, but might spend hi.-money on the poor. (7) That any prie-t or deaconis more bound to preach the word of God thanto say the hours. And (S) that after the wordsof consecration in the Eucharist the bread re-mained bread and nothing more.

Chatrys was found guilty on all counts andwas condemned to death under a statute know'.,as De Haeretico Comburendo. which had beenpassed by Henry IV.. and which nerniiue,] theecclesiastical authorities to burn at the .-take anvpersons whom they chose to find guilt v of here>vIhis statute, however, had not " become law Atthe time of Chatrys' conviction, and the sentencepassed upon him was therefore an illegal one. butit was speedily carried out. and he met'his terribledeath at the historic St. Paul's (Yoss.

Ihe fact that many historians referred to themartyred priest a- Sir William has led to theerroneous belief that he was a knight, hut suchwas not the ease. In his dav m.mv cbu-vme,,were styled "Sir.'' and several instances of thi-eustom appear in Shakespeare's plavs. where weiind Sir Hugh Kvans in "Twelfth" Xighf " *-irOlher Martext in "As You Like It." andNathaniel in "Love's Labour Lost." all of whomwere ecclesiastics.

BRITISH WAR DEBT PAYMENTSCommenting upon the fact that Great Britain

in December completed the sixth year of her pay-ments on her American war debt, and has .">('.

more years in which still to pay. the "World"points out that Great Britain has'already turnedover to the United States Treasury the' colossalsum of £192,800.000. "As £20.! 100.000 has beenpaid in casli before the signature of the agree-ment," the paper states, "the -irand total of herpayments exceeds ten billion dollars, roughly one-fourth of the original debt. Only about 1.3 percent of these payments, however, have beenapplied to the principal of the debt, the restrepresenting interest. In consequence, the m-in-cipal has been reduced so far by only 3.2 per cent.The extinction of the debt is *thu.-." seen to be islow process. It is difficult to visualise the realburden which these annuities impose upon theBritish people. The total payments during thecurrent year amount to £2t>.Si)o.ooo. This" sumwould, endow two great universities like Harvardand Yale, and would pay all the running expensesof the first seven American States listed alpha-betically. When sacrifices are measured bv thesestandards, the absurdity of expecting such anarrangement to remain unchanged for the nexthalf-century is readily manifest, and after l!»:>2the present agreement calls for even heavier pay-ments/'

A BOOK A DAY.The "Evening Bulletin*' of Philadelphia has justpublished a sensational 307-page octavo book

entitled "One Day." Most of the book is printedin ordinary ten-point book type, though somepages are in finer print, and all of it is abundant! villustrated. "One Day" looks like a two or three-dollar book: it is sensational because it revealsgraphically what a Philadelphian can buy any dayfor two cents. "One Day" is simply a reprintof the reading matter—the advertising is omitted—contained in the issue of the •'Bulletin'' forJune 4, 1928. And that issue was a little smallerthan the average issue of the "Bulletin" in thefirst six months of 1928. The modern newspaper,the greatest bargain in the history of literature.is a sort of daily encyclopaedia: its rani.'" ofinterest as well as its bulk would a maze theeditors of half a century aero almost as much asa modern chemist's shop would astonish the simpleapothecary from whom they bought their pills.The newspaper buyer to-day, though he is seldomaware of it, is subscriber to a book-a-dav clubwhich offers him each morning or evening a fatvolume containing a scrapbook of art. the solidmeat of statistics and the spice of jest, articlesand bedtime stories, an almanac of weather, ship-ping, radio and sport, dissertations on evervthim_rfrom politics to religion, and chapters in a hundredserial stories, all—or almost all—true.

AFGHAN SITUATION.

Evacuation Of British MayCome Too Laf?.

DIPLOMATS' RISK.

(Aastralian Pr~ss Assn.—United Service.)

LONDON, February 24.It Is learned authoritatively that the

British Government intends to have itsdiplomatic mission to Afghanistanevacuated from Kabul by air at the mostconvenient moment.

There is no body at present withwhom the mission can conduct diploma-tie business, therefore there is no objectia exposing its members to danger.

Coincident with the publication of theGovernment's decision telegrams werereceived from Peshawar stating that theairmen on the rir*t aeropiane sent toKabul to begin the evacuation wereoblised to return as snow preventedthem landing. Four other machinesare in readiness to be flown to Kabul.

The diplomatic correspondent of the"Observer" says the evacuation of the.Inropean diplomatic corps has beenarranged. At a consultation betweenrepresentatives of the European Powersit was agreed that British airmen shouldcarry oat the operation. From that **

followed that Sir Francis Humphry _~

British Minister, would be the last tolssva Kabul.

Yesterday was fixed for the journey•I the first machines. The arrangementwis kept secret to avoid complications.It is known that the Kabul aerodromeis covered with snow, and it is realisedtost it is not likely that the machineswill be able to make sufficient journeysfrom Peshawar to Kabul to evacuate illtie diplomatic staffs in one day.

Therefore the last journey must be■ore risky than the first. That risk,■owever. has to be faced.

The "Sunday Express'' says it is be-fitred Sir Francis Humphrys and hisrtaff are in grave peril. It was suggestedlast night, it says," that their plight may•asfly be as grave a3 that of Gordon atKhartoum in ISSS.

Too late the peril of the Minister andkis staff has been realised, says thepaper. Rival rebel tribesmen "alreadyhave stormed Kabul and may do so•jam. Sir Francis may be murderedor become the victim of "a stray bullet.

As a contrast to the Duke ofMontrose's remark at Edinburgh thathave a right to manage their

own domestic affairs is Sir Joynson-Hicks' statement at Oxford that thepeople must realise that the old davsof every man's right to do as he likes"with his own will not work in thetwentieth century.

The '■Star' declares that ConserTs.tivemembers of the House of Commonsresent this and assert that it win meanthousands of votes lost to Conservativesbecause Sir Joynson-Hieks is champion-ing bureaucratic control, hitherto advo-cated only by the Socialists.

It is feared that numerous Govern-ment supporters will transfer theirallegiance to the Liberals, The speechalso entails more Cabinet trouble.

SITUATION AT HOME.

J. L. Garvin Assumes Role OfProphet.

PLAIN" TIP TO TORIES.

I Australian and yjz. Press Association.)

LONDON, February 24.Mr. J. L. Garvin, editor of the "Obser-

ver." announces that in view of thecoming general election he intends toexamine the political situation in aseries of detached and good-humouredarticles.

He sums up in the first one as fol-lows:—The Government and it* partyseem to have resolved themselves un-animously into a **noble order ofostriches.'' Whether the Ministers,between now and the elect-ion, caninduce a bored nation to love themmore is a matter to be examined later.

It is plain at present that whether ornot Mr. Baldwin and hi 3 colleaguessnatch a bare working majority out ofthe three-cornered gamble, the Parlia-mentary strength of Conservatismproper is quite certain to be vastlydiminished.

Secondly the Socialist* wiU be farstronger in the next House of Commonsthan ever before.

Thirdly the Liberal* will be dis-appointed at their own numbers. Theywill have to realise acutely that thoughthere may be three parties there areonlv two lobbies.

Fourthly. Ministers will find it use-less to dwell on the past, whether byreciting their own achievements or byrelating the delinquencies of the Opposi-tion parties.

What does the Government proposefor the next four years? Upon theanswer to that all may turn. Britain isconcerned about the future and nothingelse. When Mr. Churchill and his col-leagues talk about the ancient historyof the general strike they waste theirbreath. Heaven help them on that deadtack. They miiiht as well read theRiot Act to a deserted village.

, Received 1.30 rvm.'

RUGBY, February 24.Sir Austen Chamberlain, speaking

at Torquay last night, said thatGreat Britain and the United States-have many roots in common in theirpast history and they live largelyunder the same laws and speak thesame language.

'"TVe have recently had some discus-sion with them in which we have no:been able to reach agreement. VTe havesuch discussions not infrequently withthe same result, yet nobody becomesalarmed and thinks it an unusual thingif a common solution of a difficult prob-lem cannot be reachedh

The measure of attention which hasbeen given to whatever differences haveexisted between the L'nited States ar.dourselves is not really the intrinsic value jof the questions at stake, but it is a!measure of the desire which we have jfor friendship with the nation whieh is jmost akin to our own."

D>%T.ling with the achievements of the '•Government Sir Austen said that no-body would deny not only that world;peace was more secure and that they jwere discussing their international jdifficulties in a new and better spirit.!but that they had turned over a new jleaf and closed the chapter of the Great |War and the years that followed it. iThey had opened a brighter chapter.

CLOSEST FRIENDSHIP.

Important Developments HintedBy Chamberlain.

AMBASSADOES SPEECH.

(Australian Press Assn.—United Service.)

LONDON", February 24.The Foreign Secretary, Sir Austen

Chamberlain, in a speech at Torquay.foreshadowed a new offer fromBritain to the United States concern-ing armaments.

Sir Austen said the Government hadbeen engaged for months in a survey ofthe issues affecting the future relationsof Britain and America.

When that ex-amination had been

] concluded he wa-t confident it wouldi be in the power of■ the Government, as; it was its wish, to- make proposals to.' the United States

which would place1 the friendship of; the two nations oni that firm footingI which not onlyI was its desire and

in its interest, butin the interests ofthe world at large.

A message from Washington says theBritish Ambassador, Sir Esme Howard.made a remarkable speech there on Fri-day on the occasion or" the commemora-tion of George Washington's birthday.

Sir Esme discussed Anglo-Americanrelations and the Kellogg Pact. Hepictured an imaginary conversation be-tween himself and George Washington,in which he said to the general: *I havenoticed that in political discussions.about domestic or foreign questions,there is a tendency in the United States,perhaps more than elsewhere, to indulgein somewhat unmeasured language."

He read portions of Sir Austen Cham-berlain's speech at Birmingham on•January 27', and continued: "Is it not.then, unfortunate that, now on thisside, now on that, we have muttering?even of the possibility of war. of sinis-ter design and of ulterior motives, when,judging by the utterances of those inreally responsible positions there is nofoundation whatever for such stories r"

Of the Kellogg Pact. Sir Esme said:•"This treaty has made an incalculabledifference to the world's affairs, thoughthe faet is not yet generally recognised.The pact is an instrument which mostweiarh heavily in the balance for thecause of peace.'"

:"

Prior to the sale the Prince went to: -mca box and -poke to and patted thehorse in it. There were sympatheticcheers when the auctioneer referred tothe patriotic sacrifice His Royal High-ness was shaking i" giving tip his favour-

j ite sport, at any rate for the present.Twelve horses realised 40*52 guineas.

j The top price was. paid for the Prinze"-j favourite !t:are. Miss Muffett—7ooj cruineas. The Prin* e withheld fromj sale only or.e of his hunters, namely.! Just an Idea. This he did for senti-mental reasons.

I Large numbers of interested personsj from all over the country, includingI Americans, were present. Many werewomen, some of whom nearly faintedowing to the crush round the auctionstand.

The Prince, whom the crowd wildlycheered, saw his horses specially fedand then watched the sale irom a win-dow behind the auctioneer, who fre-quently consulted him.

When regret was expressed at thePrince's severing hi- connection with theLeicestershire hunting field, he said it'.vas only temporary. He added thathe intended to buy more hunters.

WAR DEBTS.GERMAN PAYMENTS.

Reparation Experts ReachCompromise.

TRANSFER DIFFICULTY.

LONDON". February 24.

A :..-—ace from Paris says there :.-

; re;i~on to "believe that the memberof the Committee of Experts onReparation have reached a eom-

i on the delicate question >•:

the transfer elar.se in the Dawes plani — hi'"-h Germany wants to havei abolished.! A special Transfer Committee at

i present decides hw much of Germany'-I pavments in marks can be sent abroad

I without prejudice to Germany's fina; •' eiai and fiscal situation.! The compromise pro-poses that part| onlv of the total annuity should be

subject to the transfer clause, which

I shall be arq lied to it ml* ia the! of a request from Germany, who mi:-"! satisfv the Transfer Committee that shelis temporarily unable to make the• required payments in marks or foreignf currency.' The remaining portion "f the annuity' being exempt, the restrictions of the[ transfer clause may thus be employed| in order to guarantee the bonds whichi eventually will be sold in the worldmarkets.

The Paris correspondent of the"Times'' states That though the expertsresumed their plenary session to receive'a sub-committee's report they were com-| roiled again to adjmirn after asking for' further information from the sub-committee. The zreat dimeulty of theHatter is *•"> solve the problem of arrang-

ing tr.ir.-fers without injuring the rateof exchange.

It is underst'X>d that the sub-com-; mittee devised a double-barrelled solu-i tiou bv which Germany could be requiredito hand over a round hsrure like', £75.000.000 a year without weakeningi German currency or industrv.i The balance of £50.000.000 a yeari would be paid to the Reichs Bank in

i mark.* and released for transfer to the| creditor nations at the discretion of a! consultative committee.| The Germans object to the latter pro-\ vision on the 2ro-?!nd that withholdingj transfers is tantamount to an unfavour-able report on Germany' 3 economic posd-i f>n, which would iujure German credit[and in the calling-up of short-

| term foreign loans.j The French reply to that is that Ger-i ir.any"3 position is highly favourable, in

■ spite of German lamentations, as isi proved by the increase in bank deposits: and the redaction of the discount rat*.

ROTORUA. this day.While he did not ne?d to be con-

verted regarding the country down Roto-rna way, the Hon. E. A. Ransom, Min-ister of Public Works, could give a depu-tation no further information about theRotorua-Taupo railway line, than to sayit was not a political question. A repre-sentative Rotorua deputation waitedupon him on Saturday to see if he couldtell it something about the Government'sintentions in regard to the railway,which it will be remembered was begunin a hurry by the Coates Government.Sir Joseph Ward, whan %e came intopower, said further consideration wouldbe given before the Government decidedwhether it would go on with the lineor not.

A Matter for Cabinet.Mr. Ransom, who has just been over

the route, told the deputation that threeother Ministers had yet to inspect theroute, and he could not commit the Gov-ernment in the meantime. The matterwould have to be considered by Cabinetafter the four Ministers had made theirreports. Personally he thought, highly«f the country, and believed no otherdistrict would lend itself more profitablytn development. He preferred to remainsilent about the railway, because if hetold them what he thought he mightRet into trouble: as a member of theCabinet he was not. so free to speak as• Private member.

WEALTHY INVENTOR.

NEW ZEALAND RUNAWAY.

WOW A MILLIONAIRE.

GODWARD'S GAS GENERATOR.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

SAN FRANCISCO, February 4.The American Press has just un-

earthed in the labyrinths of populousNew York a stocky, spectacled New Zea-lander who has become famous. Anewspaper man discovered him sitting inhis office high above Broadway amimodestly telling his story of how thechampion napkin-folder of a passengership became a successful and wealthvinventor.

Ernest R. God ward, a middle-agedman of kindly demeanour, was talkingabout himself while he puffed at a cigar-ette. He had neither education normoney as the foundation of a career.He ran away from home at the age of12 to follow a roving life on the sevenseas. Now he is hailed as the inventorof a device which, attached to an auto-mobile, increases economy of fuel.operation and horse-power.

Starting from London, Godward's ad-ventures, undertaken as a madcap prankafter failure to pass a school examina-tion, carried him to -Tapan. New Zealandand eventually to the United States.

Brass polisher, deck boy. ship stewardand bicycle repair man. he still foundtime to go in strenuously for athletics,run a business and to study gasoleneengines.

Godward reached the peak of napkin-folding proficiency while steward on aship plying waters of the Antipodes. Itdid not appeal to him as a life work."So I settled down in Xew Zealand."he stated in Xew York to his inter-viewer. Bicycle, motor bike and auto-mobile business, built up gradually, be-came successful, and he gatheredenough money to continue studies ofearburetion. And in hi< spare time hewon bo me half-hundred medals as a'boxer, swimmer, rower, bicycle-racerand mnner. Through Godward's storyran the moral of hard work. "I've <.orndown my models a hundred times ormore and started all over again." theinventor said. 'T don't think" I'm per-fect yet, and still am lcoking for im-

-1pro vemente,"

Returned to New ZealandGodward's first trip to the United

States, in 1914, was discouraging. Thepatent office refused the rights he asked.He went back to New Zealand, workedhis process all over again, and re-turned. This time he was successful inhaving his patents awarded.

Godward's gas generator, placed betweeu the carburettor and the engine ofan automobile evaporates the hydro-carbon and produces a perfect gas whiclidoes not condense. It utilises more ofthe gasolene than under ordinary cir-cumstances: hence the economy. Test?on omnibuses out of Philadelphia haveshown a saving of from 10 to 30 percent, he said.

Under the caption. "Keep Smiling."the Montreal "Daily Star" had the sub-joined editorial anent the perseveranceof (iodward: "The New Zealander whostarted life as a cabin boy and is nowa millionaire inventor in New York addsone more to the list of men whose am-bition and industry have more thanmade up for a poor start. When heran away from England first, he waspractically without education. Yet to-day he knows all there is to be knownabout the internal combusion engine.He learnt it for himself. And this iswhat all must do in the battle of life.It i- a line thing to have a good educa-tion, bur it is not what others teachus that is going to help us in the longrun: it is what we learn by "bitterexperience.' And if we have the cour-age to <ro out into the world, and takethe buffets and come Up smiling, sooneror later the world will smile with us.and Murk' as they call it will come ourway. For this is not such a bad worldafter all and anybody who tries hisbest is fairly sure of a square deal."

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

REFORMATIVE TREATMENT.

EX-PRISONER'S QUERY.

"WORK AMONG HARDENEDCRIMINAL?."'

By EX-INMATE

After undergoing a. term of reforma-tive detention, much of which was spentat a Borstal Institution. I am no wisernow than when I started as to the mean-ing of the term "reformative treatment."Nor is anyone else that I know- of, andI certainly do not think that judges andmagistrates who sentence men to vearsof this treatment ran understand whatthey are doing.

! The laws „t \ew Zealand compare| favourable with those of any othercivilised country, and our judges andmagistrates should be M uite capable ..;

correctly interpreting them, but theyeannot know how the sentences imposedby them while on the bench are carriedout by the prison authorities. Xot lon<'ago a judge i> reported as saving, whensentencing a man. "I cannot "arrant youprobation, but I am not going to «en,lyou to gaol. I will order vou to bedetained lor reformative treatment fora period not exceeding three vears."-" \o tsend him to gaol: That man i* vervniueh in gaol. And remember that thisreformative treatment for threemay be for an offence the maximumpenalty for which is onlv six months-hard labour. And what is the difference "

Prison regulations state thatundergoing reformative treatment areexpected to work at the same ta>ks a-|those doing hard labour, but that thejtwo classes mu>t be kept apart a* muchas possible. They not only du thework, they work together.

True. at. Mount Eden, isein separate yards, but apart'from trmand the fact that Thev wear a darkercoat than the hard labourite, and havetheir case* considered earlier bv thePrisons Board, there is no difference be-tween the two classes. Thev do thesame work, have the same 'food, areunder the same discipline and in all

jother ways are on the same plane. And| yet judges and magistrates impose years

| of this treatment where another*

manwould get a short term of hard labour,

and by the language they often usewhen sentencing a man. show conclu-sively that they do not know what theyare doing. There is no such thing asreformative treatment in any shape orform. Neither are these men "doing lightjobs. They are doing the heaviest worK.the same as the others. Magistrates inparticular who are limited by law to theimposition of sentences up to 12 monthsfor a particular offence may. I believe,impose a term of three years' reforma-tive detention, and as they appear whollvignorant of the way these sentences arecarried, out. the power they wield isabused almost daily. Reform! Theword is ridiculous. To reform a man.you put him to work amongst hardenedcriminals, who will not let'him go hisown way. no matter how much he n:avwant to. No chance for a man to i<>r-get any pvil he has picked up. It canonly he encouraged in such surroundings.Does the Prisons Department defy Par-liament and judges and public ...pinion,or is this ju-t another example of howMr. (nates and his parrv -lipped upontheir job?

CLAIM AGAINST COUNSELSEQUEL TO CRIMINAL CHARGEACTION OVER PRE-PAID FEE.

A CANCELLED RETAINER.

SUPREME COURT PROCEEDINGS

Before Mr. Justice Kennedy, at theSupreme Court to-day, Alexander HenryMartin, formerly a law clerk, broughtnn action against Mr. R. A. Singer, whomhe ha.! engaged to defend him in ar-.miinal charge. The application wasu: the torn, of a motion to show causev.hy Mi. Singer's costs should not bereferred to the Registrar of Taxation,with « view to getting the amount of.niiiKils fe-e reduced, and of obtainingo refund of the balance. Mr. J. Stantonn ].peared in support of the motion, andMr. R. McVeagh represented Mr. SingerMr. Stanton said that Martin hadretained Mr. Singer to defend him inconnection with a criminal charge whichwas heard at the Supreme Court. Plain-tiff relied upon the provisions of theLaw Practitioners' Act, that a solicitor'sbill of eosts could be taxed.

Mr. McVeagh pointed out that the un-contradicted evidence showed that whenMartin approached Mr. Singer it wasimule quite clear to him that he wasbeing retainer), not in the capacity of asolicitor, but as counsel. The affidavitsfiled showed that Martin himself hadbeen a, lawyer's clerk for many yearsand thoroughly appreciated the position.Mr. Singer's statement of the position,counsel said, was confirmed by the affi-davit of n witness who was present ont>> rvNt-inn iii .j'l-stion. Mr. McVeaghreferred his Honor to the affidavits filedon Mr'.'Singer's behalf, stating that thereason Mr. Singer had insisted on a pre-payment of a proportion of his fees ascounsel was that Martin had not paidhis counsel*' fees in a former case. Coun-sel flho mentioned that just before theopening of the criminal sessions at whichMartin was charged in the case underreview, plaintiff cancelled Mr. Singer'sretainer on the ground that he had re-tained other counsel.

There was an interesting legal a.gu- !mrnt as to whether the prepaid costs ofa barrister could be recovered, Mr. Mc-Veagh referring his Honor to the case ofMorris v. Hunt, heard in England inISM), in which an eminent judge hadstated what were counsel's rights andduties. The judge had pointed out thatit was "the recompense of reward whichinduced men of ability and integrity toexert their talents," and that it was'to the advantage of the public thatcounsel should receive those emolumentswhich produced integrity and intelli-gence." It was stated in this case thatcounsel's fees were to be paid before-hand, because it was not to be left tochance whether they could be ultimatelygot or not. It was the duty of counselto take care that if they had fees, to getthem beforehand. The law would notallow any penalty if they (counsel) dis-regarded their duty.

Mr. Stanton claimed that Mr. Singer'sfees should not be treated as those ofcounsel, but as those of a solicitor, andwere therefore liable to taxation. An yprovisional charge made by a solicito-was liable to taxation.

His Honor reserved judgment.

FUTURE OF SAMOA.

SURRENDER OF MANDATESUGGESTED.

VIEWS OF REFORM NEWSPAPER.

In a leading article on the report on

the Civil service in Samoa the Christ-church '"Press" says:—"The report re-commends various reforms, which, if car-ried out, would give Samoa an ordinarilygood administrative machine. Mr. Ver-schaffelt and bis colleagues are very cap-able public servants, and they were evi-dently deeply shocked by what theyfound, and have made the suggestionswhich might be expected of them asexperts. Yet the report will renew inmany minds the doubt whether we canwith profit to Samoa, and without undueexpense and trouble to the Dominion, con-tinue the administration of the territory.It is the merest accident that the man-date came to New Zealand, whose pride»nd interest are not really engaged at all.The transference of the mandate to GreatBritain is not, as has been suggestedmore than once, an impossibility; it isa matter for negotiation. And sinceGreat Britain has a corps of Civil ser-vants specially trained and very compe-tent to manage backward races it wouldbe of advantage to Samoa and to NewZealand if the mandate could be trans-ferred."

CLIMBER KILLED.

FATALITY ON MT. EGMONT.

STRUCK BY FALLING BOULDER

HEROIC ATTEMPTS AT RESUE

(By Telegraph.—Special to " Star.")

STRATFORD, this dayThe grim toll of life at Mount Egmont

was added at 3.45 a.m. yesterday whena young man, Ronald Moss, aged 22,son of Mr. A. E. Moss, borough electricalengineer, met a tragic death. He wasstruck on the head by a boulder, whichcrashed down the mountain side, inflict-ing fearful injuries. Death was in-stantaneous.

Ronald Moss, with four companions,left the Stratford Mountain House atmidnight with the intention of climbingto the top of the mountain. Theweather was fine, but a strong windwas blowing. The journey was made byway of Curtis ridge, which, though oftenused, is not the usual route.

The accident happened at a height of7000ft, and about 1000ft below the sum-mit. At this time of year a certain de-gree of danger exists from falling rocks,which are released through melting snow,and the party when making the journeyin the darkness could hear rocks crashingdown the mountain side. Two of thedeceased's companions were struck bysmall stones, one on the leg and theother on the body, but no injuries weresustained. A few minutes later thefatality happened with tragic sudden-ness, a boulder bounding down from cragto crag, striking the deceased andbounding off the ledge down the ravine.The stone was not seen until it wasalmost on the climbers. The othersdodged, but Moss was unable to getclear, and was struck on the side ofthe head, being thrown from the trackand carried down nearly 100ft.

A member of the party, G. Irving,set out for the Stratford MountainHouse immediately, and reached therein an hour after picking his way ov»?rdifficult and dangerous country withthe aid of a hand torch. Dr. Gordonand a relief party set off from town,while Mr. Haldane, manager of theMountain House, with helpers, left im-mediateiv for the scene.

The doctor and police were on themountain side within an hour. As therescue party all proceeded to the higherlevels they wer# menaced by showersof boulders, which came hurtling downthe mountain side. Two young men,Fookes and Grubb, got ahead of the re-lief party and carried the body down adistance of over 200 yards. It wasrealised that Moss was beyond humanaid, and all that could be done was tobring the body down. It was later re-moved to the morgue.

The journey down the mountain wasdifficult owing to the precipitous natureof the tracks, and all were in dangerfrom crashing rocks. The heroism ofthose concerned is very highly spokenof.

Ronald Moss was well conversant withthe mountain, and he was an experiencedclimber, having made the ascent to thesummit on several occasions. He was aprominent member of the Mountain Club,and was on the staff of the Bank of NewZealand.

INQUEST ADJOURNED.

An inquest was held to-day. and ad-journed after some evidence* had been Igiven.

Mr. R. V. Kay, a member of theparty, said they were going over scoriaand had almost reached the snowlinewhen they heard stones coming down.This was attributed to loose snow anda high wind. The party was standingstill, and the deceased had his ice axestuck in the ground to steady him,when a rock suddenly came down andcarried Moss over the side of the slope.

The party moved down the stones,witness said, Irving going ahead. Helater called out: "I'll have to break itto you. Moss is dead." The body wasmoved to a place out of range of theslipping rocks, and Irving set out forthe mountain house. The party shel-tered by the body for three hours, fall-ing rocks coming down all the time.Later, fearing for Irving"* safety, theywent towards the lower slopes and metthe rescue party coming up the moun-tain.

MURIWAI BEACH.

GETTING READY FOR MOTORRACES.

QUESTION OF PARKING CHARGES.

Arrangements are being completed bythe Motutara Domain Board, the bodycontrolling the Muriwai Beach, on whichthe motor races take place, for the nextcarnival. It is expected that some 5000people will witness the events. Conveni-ences for the public are being carriedout, and the question of parking andcamping charges is exercising theDomain Board.

At Helensville last week the Hon. de laPerrelle. Minister of Internal Affairs,was waited on by Mr. R. Roe, chairmanof the Motutara Domain Board, whodesired to know the position of the boardin imposing charges for camping partiesand for the parking of motor cars. Mr.Roe pointed out that the board wishedto do all it possibly could to provide forthe comfort of visitors during the motorraces, but the board had not muchfinance for the purpose. It was felt thatif a small charge were made, for theparking of cars and for camping partiesthe board would be able to providegreater facilities for the patrons of thebeach. The Minister said he would dowhat he could in the matter, and wouldacquaint the board of its official position.Where a large number of people gatheredit was desirable to provide all possiblefacilities, and he thought the publicwould readily help the board in itsobject.

FALSE FIRE ALARMS.

NUISANCE IN ONEHUNGA.

THREE YOUTHS CHARGED.

For several months past the OnehungaFire Brigade has received several falsealarms in the borough. This morningthree youths named Laurence Mackenzie,Sydney Charles Marshall and Ivan Stan-ley Dunfoy, were charged with givinga. false alarm of fire at Onehunga. Mac-kenzie pleaded guilty, and in a writtenstatement to the police admitted havingsmashed the glass in a fire alarm boxon January 19 last by himself, and againthe next night at the corner of Norman'sHill and Arthur Street. On the secondoccasion Marshall and Dunfoy were withhim and saw him do it. The solicitorfor these two youths admitted that theywere culpable, but asked that the chargesagainst them might be dismissed.

William .T. Downey, deputy-superin-tendent of the Onehunga Fire Brigade,said the brigade turned out on bothoccasions, but there was no fire to ex-tinguish. He produced a list of falsefire alarms received within the past fewmonths in the borough. He could notsay what the cost was to the rate-payers when the brigade turned out toa false alarm.

Sergeant J. A. Cruickshank, who prose-cuted, said the cost had been computedat £5 as the minimum. The chairmansaid the ratepayers had to pay for thebrigade having to turn out in answerto a false alarm of fire. The Court didnot wish to blight the lives of Marshalland Dnufoy by convicting them, espe-and Dunfoy by convicting them, espe-solicitor's statement, would not receivea promised appointment of work. Thecharges therefore against them would be

i dismissed. Mackenzie was convictedand fined 50/ on each of two chargeswith 20/ costs.

PACIFIC PROBLEMS.

VALUABLE DISCUSSIONS.WORK OF INTERNATIONAL.

INSTITUTE.

PROFESSOR CONDLIFFE RETURNS.

After an absence of two years Pro-fessor J. B. Condliffe, formerly of Canter-bury College, return'! to New Zealandas research secretary of the Inter-national Institute of Pacific Relations.The primary object of his visit is tostimulate interest amongst Australianand New Zealand branches of the insti-tute in the annual conference of theorganisation to be beld in Japan inNovember. Professor Condliffe arrivedin Auckland yesterday by the Aorangi.

Having his headquarters at Honolulu,the professor is one of several secre-taries of the institute, and his workbrings him in contact with every countrythat borders on the Pacific. Since hehas been away from the Dominion hehas paid two visits to the United Statesand Canada and spent six weeks inChina and Japan. His main duty is tovisit various countries and arrange forresearch to be conducted at differentuniversities relative to various problemsto bo discussed at the annual confer-ences. Thus at the November gatheringat Chioto data will be presented regard-ing food supplies and populations of thePacific, the present situation in China,with particular reference to the Man-churia, trouble, problems of industrialisa-tion, international trade, foreign invest-ment, the government of Pacific de-pendencies and the cultural relations of

: tho Pacific peoples.The Manchuria Trouble.

The greatest of the problems 1o bediscussed, explained Professor C'ondlifiV,was the situation in Manchuria, and itwas felt that with Japanese and Chinesedelegates sitting at the same table asrepresentatives from other countries abetter understanding would be come toin regard to the territory. Last year,although the influx of immigrants toManchuria fell away considerably, over1,000,000 people transferred to that coun-try from the famine areas in the north.The country possessed vast potentialities,as would be appreciated when he men-tioned that in 192<i it grew 18.000,000bushels of wheat. Japanese, Chinese andRussian railways concentrated on theterritory, and a large amount of capitalwas being spent on developing theprairie country bordering the lines. Thetrouble that had arisen was due to theclaim by the Chinese that Manchuriawas part of the Chinese Empire and thatof the Japanese that it was being de-veloped by Japanese capital. ProfessorCondliffe thought the forthcoming con-ference would assist to present the situa-

I tion in a different light.Delegates to the Conference.

Professor Condliffe said that upwardsof 200 delegates from Great Britain, theUnited States, Canada, Japan, China,Korea, Hawaii, the Philippines, Austra-lia, New Zealand and Russia would at-tend the conference while observerswould be sent from the League ofNations, the International Labour officeand a French group recently formed inParis.

The British group attended the lastconference as observers, and the Russiandelegates will attend in the samecapacity this year. It if was found thelatter could co-operate with the instituteand the institute could co-operate withthem a branch of the institute would beformed in Moscow.

Ttao institute, added the professor, waspurely educational and had no officialstatus. Delegates attended conferencesin a private capacity and discussed prob-lems of various kinds in order that theymight come to understand them better.The Institute stood for no propagandaand passed no resolutions, but its influ-ence was by no means negligible. Hohad no doubt that the results of lastconference, for instance, assisted greatlyto relieve the tension that existed atthat time between Great Britain andChina.

The Japanese group will act as hostsat the conference. Mr. Junnosuke Iriouyewill preside at the gatherings, and hewill be assisted by Dr. Inazo Nitobe, whowas Japanese Under-Secretary of theLeague of Nations for the first sevenyears of its operations. Sir James Allenwill be chairman of the New Zealandgroup.

"MEMBER FOR FAR NORTH."

HON. P. A. DE XA FERKELLE.

AN UNUSUAL POSITION'.

The Bay of Islands district is withouta representative in Parliament, as aresult of the decision of the ElectoralCourt which unseated Mr. H. M. Rush-worth, and a fresh contest between himand Colonel Bell is to take place.

On the visit of the Hon. P. A. de laPerrelle, Minister of Internal Affairs, toKaitaia last week there was some con-cern as to whom the duty of introducingdeputations should devolve upon.Colonel Bell, who has been the memberfor the electorate for some years, waspresent, but, recognising his position,took no part in the representations madeto the Minister. A "wag" amongst thefirst deputation received by the Minis-ter, who had early in the day heard Mr.de la Perrelle speak about the lands ofthe Far North, said: "What about ap-pointing Mr. de la Perrelle our mem-ber?" There was general acclamationand laughter, and the Minister was dulyappointed "Member for the Far North."Very many reqtiests were then made bydeputations, and Mr. de la Perrelle waskept busy until midnight.

DR. M. STALEY RETURNS.

CHILD WELFARE INVESTIGATION'S.

"My trip has been a wonderful eye-opener on topics of child welfare," saidDr. Mildred etaley, who returned bythe Aorangi yesterday from America.Dr. Staley left Auckland in June lastand attended the International Pan-Pacific conference of women in Honolulu.She was a delegate of the New ZealandLeague of Nations Union and the Auck-land Play and Recreation Association.Whilst in the United States and Canada,Dr. Staley investigated child welfareactivities.

TRINITY COLLEGE.

NEW THEOLOGICAL HOME.

METHODIST BUIU>ING SCHEME

OPENING ON WEDNESDAY.

Reports dealing with the progress of jthe Methodist Theological College, and jthe building of the new Trinity Collegeand hostel occupied much of the atten- jlion of the Methodist Conference thismorning. The Rev. Dr. H. Ranston. anex-president of the Conference, was iathe chair.

The official opening of the new collegewill be performed on Wednesday after-noon by Mrs. A. C. Caughey. and a dedi-cation service will afterwards be con-ducted by the president of the Con-ference, the Rev. J. F. Goldie. Addresseswill be delivered by the vice-presidentand representatives ©f the churches.

A Dominion-wide appeal for financialassistance made during 1926 has enabledthe college to be completed free of allliabilities, except those relating to thesite, which is leasehold. Mr. A. Peak.treasurer of the college, reported thatthe building fund amounted in Decem-ber. 192.1, to £10,604. A sum of £37.341was promised as a result of the canvassmade by the Rev. Dr. C. H. Laws, and£31.061 was realised. Interest had in-creased the total by £2894, and the fund

I amounted on January 31 to £44,907.The contract cost of the new buildingwas £3.1,554. alterations to the chapelinvolved the expenditure of a further£3232. and to the organ of £620. Be-quest* of £2000 from the estate of thelate Mi. A. A. Wagstafl", and £1100 fromthe late J. Edson's estate were received.The balance in hand, said Mr. Peak, was£12.349.

Dr. Laws urged the Conference tomake an early effort to purchase theland on which the college was erected.

The Conference carried, with applause,a resolution of thanks, moved by Rev.W. J. Williams.

Transfer From Remuera."Dunholme." the old college at Remu-

era, was closed at the end of Novemberlast. A report presented this morningby the Rev. Dr. Laws, principal of thetheological college, stated "Dunholme"had :been in use for sixteen years, andthe college was indebted to the lateMr. A. C. Caughey for his generousassistance of the collegiate activities.The transfer of the college work toTrinity College, the new home, tookplace at the beginning of December.

During 1928 there were twentystudents in residence, and, in addition,two ministerial candidates for the Con-gregational Church, and a candidate forthe Methodist ministry, who had notbeen in residence. The Rev. Dr. Ran-ston had carried out the duties of resi-dent professor. During the year thestudents had increased their experienceby conducting services in the Aucklandchurches.

The report added that steps were nowbeing taken to advertise the opening ofthe hostel next year. The college coun-cil wished to mi ke it clear that young

| men from any part of the Dominion| would be welcomed, and asked the

j synods to advertise the hostel as widelyas possible.

The principal was appointed generalsecretary of the college council, and theRev. T. A. Joughin and Mr. A. Peakwere elected college treasurers.

The Conference directed that thecollege council favourably consider theconstituting of a fellowship of theTrinity Theological College, the fellow-ship to be conferred upon those in thefuture who rendered some distinguishedcontribution or service to the scholar-ship or learning of the Methodist Church,and that, if constituted, Rev. Dr. C. H.Laws be elected as the first fellow ofthe college.

HANGING ABOUT WHARVES.

SOMETHING IS SURE TOHAPPEN."

GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE.

"This man is one of the many we havehad recently who hang about the water-front," said Sub-Inspector McCarthyabout Joseph Thompson (61). whoappeared at the Police Court this morn-ing on a charge deeming him to be anidle and disorderly person with insuffi-cient means of support. "Something issure to happen when men like Thomp-son, with bad lists, hang about thewharves. He was warned by the police,too," added the sub-inspector.

Thompson told the magistrate he hadbeen working at Arapuni for ninemonths, and prior to that he had beenemployed for a similar term at the Wai-karemoana hydro-electric works. Threeweeks ago he came to Auckland with£30.

"You certainly have got a bad list —

there are 27 previous convictions, andyou were once declared an habitual crim-inal," Mr. McKoan told accused.

"Yes, but those offences are yearsold," said Thompson. "I've got to livedown those old convictions, and I'vebeen working hard trying to do so."

Mr. McCarthy said that Thompsonhad only been in town three weeks.

The magistrate told Thompson thathis list showed he had not been introuble for seven year*. "You seem tohave gone straight. YT ou will be con-victed and ordered to come up for sen-tence in 14 days. If you can get workin the meantime, you take it and nothingmore will be heard of the matter."

OBSERVANCE OF SUNDAY.

BEQUEST FOR REST HOME

Tlie Rev. G. Brown, of Greymouth.asked the Methodist Conference thismorning not merely to urge but todemand the Government to enforce thestrict observance of Sunday in ailpublic departments. A resolution tothat effect was carried.

The Rev. Dr. C. H. Laws announcedto the Conference that the late Rev. W.S. Potter, of Auckland, had left thesum of foOO for the establishment of arest home in the North Island forministers and home missionaries.

AUCKLAND ROTARY CLUB.

At its 364th meeting to-dav theAuckland Rotary Club celebrated itstwenty-fourth anniversary of RotaryInternational. The speaker for theday was Mr. W. J. Holdsworth, whospoke on "Citizenship," somewhat onthe lines of the very interesting talkhe gave recently before the AucklandAdvertising Club.

AUCKLAND WOOL SALE.

A RECORD OFFERING.SATISFACTORY CLEARANCES.

LOWER PRICES RULE.

The biggest saie yet recorded in thisprovince was opened at the Town HallConcert Chamber on Saturday night,before a full bench of buyers represent-ing every important wool-using countryin the world, when Messrs. Dalgety andCo. (acting in conjunction with theNorth Auckland Co-operativeAssociation) opened the fixture with anoffering that stands as the largest indi-vidual catalogue of new wool yet sub-mitted at anv one sale in the Dominion.

From the outset it was evident thatthere was likely to be a good clearancefor bidding was exceedingly animated,and Dalgety's cleared no less than 94 percent of their offering. Prices, however,were on a lower basis than at theopening sale in November, and substan-tially lower than at the correspondingsale in this centre last year.

Auckland pastoralists will sell a gooddeal more wool this season than theydid last, but it is not certain that theirfinancial returns will be any greater..However, the values ruling at currentsales must be considered as reasonablysatisfactory, and the general healthytone of the market has not been moredefinitely demonstrated than at the pre-sent sale. Despite the encroachments ofartificial substitutes. wool is stillsupreme as the raw material for cloth-ing, and all the world is looking for it—at a price.

The character of most of the wooloffered was what is usually described asContinental. Last year's dry conditionsjust after shearing facilitated bushburning, and consequently the clip nowoffering contains an unusual y large pro-portion of bush-stained clip-. As is ex-pected at this time of year, quite aproportion is ■"seedy," some very muchso. However, the classification system,whereby growers are having their clipsreelassed in the local stores. goe3 a longwav to ensure the lots being presentedto buyers in the most attractive light,and the general results of the sale ap-pear to justify the steady growth of thispractice.

Under the circumstances, it wasnatural that Continental buyers shouldbe more active than they have been atSouthern sales, and their purchases ap-pear to have been made at a shadehigher rates than ruled at Wellingtonlast Week. As far as Bradford top-making sorts were concerned, buyerswere quite ready with their orders atthe lower levels recently reached atSouthern sales. Lambs' wool was verykeenly comp.-ed for, some of the pricesbeing remarkably good, considering re-ports from the South of a threepennydrop in this class. Continental buyersalso paid very satisfactory price- forbellies and pieces.

Fine wools appeared to be compara-tively neglected, and in this connectionit may be mentioned that the Waiticlip of half-bred Merino was passed inat lCd to 21d. At the correspondingsale last vcar fine half-bred broughtfrom 22d to 28]d.

A Sprightly Finish.Tnough The sale showed signs of

draggingat one stage this morning, therewas renewed vigour towards the close.Competition became, if anything, keenerthan on Saturday night and buyers wereliterally and figuratively "on theirtoes." Under these conditions the New-Zealand Loan and Mercantile Company'sbroker, who was last to sell, rattledthrough his catalogue of 864 lots in anhour and a-quarter, the passings beingalmost negligible. The sale dosed on afirm market with prices from par toid per lb higher than at Wellington lastweek.

DETECTIVE SERGEANT KELLY'S ORDER.

"BRING THE BODY TO THE MORGUE."

Cross-examination of Superintendent Wohlmann by counseloccupied the morning session of the inquiry into theconduct of the police in their handling of the Elsie Walker mystery.The superintendent said that Detective-Sergeant Kelly had giventhe order for the removal of the body.

During the week-end the Commissioner of the inquiry, Mr.E. Page, S.M., visited Papamoa, from where the late Elsie Walkerdisappeared. He made most searching examinations on the wayand carefully measured times and distances. Constable Jackson,of Te Puke, was closely questioned, and Mr. Page arranged forMr. Frank Bayly to be present at his former home.

"Justified."Wohlmann, after out-

A«ng the injuries, said Constable Collins" Jas justified under the circumstances in

assuming that death was not due to» Violence. Unless there were good

grounds to the contrary, decency de-manded that the body be removed as

3 quickly as possible, as the public had-j/ learned of the tragedy and were begin-> ning to visit the locality. When the

body was removed to the morgue, themedical evidence for about six weekscorroborated the constable's decisionwhen he fonnd the body.

"I am not aware of any reason beinggiven by doctors Murray and Gilmourfor their vital change of opinion." Wit-ness said the doctors at first stated theydid not think any violence had been donennd later paid much attention to thebruise on the head.

Mr. G. P. Finlay referred to the evi-dence of Dr. Gilmour. He said therewas no essential difference in the evi-dence of Dr. Gilmour to the first report.

"Regard all Cases Seriously."To Mr. Noel Johnson: The police re-

gard all cases of sudden and unexplaineddeath seriously. Inquiries concerningthe death of Elsie Walker had been con-tinued up till the present day. Duringthe inquest witness made a few sug-gestions to the Crown Prosecutor (Mr.Meredith) as to the conduct of the in-quest. Some of the suggestions wereadopted, and some were not. DetectiveSergeant Kelly gave instructions for theremoval of the body.

To Mr. Cnrrie: Dr. Murray was calledas soon a s the negative result of theanalyst's report, on the contents of thedead girl's stomach was available. There

no substantial difficulty in gettingthe doctor, but he was not called as amatter of urgency.

A Homogeneous Body.Superintendent Wohlmann said therew <-re no up-to-date maps at headquarters

showing the boundaries of police dis-* nets and sub-districts. This was partlydue to the fact that the boundaries wereliable to change. It was not consideredgood policy to emphasise arbitrarvboundaries as between constables' andsergeants' districts, because the NewZealand police force was a homogeneousbody. Men on the spot were expected todo the work required without referencet<> the fact of overstepping district boun-tnines Detectives did not use maps atd!'«. «7ould not be wi3e for them to

authority to mterfer* fm+v. ve nothe ordinary »«* inI would not interfere. ' *'nOT»Uy,

Mr. Page: Speaking generally, wouldmore than half the time of InspectorHollis be employed with the uniformbranch?—Yes.

Speaking generally again, what classof work would he handle generally ?—

Reports of crime from the three co-ordinated districts. Then there is themorning correspondence, reports frombranch stations, interviews with his sub-inspector and chief detective. PoliceCourt cases for trial at 10 o'clock. Thenthere are telephone messages and inter-views with officials, solicitors and thegeneral public. From 10.30 to 11.30, andsometimes till 12, there are interviewswith the co-ordinated officers. There isa fresh influx of correspondence in theafternoon and more interviews. A verybusy dav.

The Commissioner: Too busy?—lthink it is becoming as much as one mancan manage. Possibly. In general prac-tice, the chief detective directs the de-tail of an investigation largely on hisown initiative.

After detailing the many duties whichhad to be carried out by the -chief de-tective, the superintendent, said that thechief detective had not got time to coneider quietly and fully the lines ofaction to be followed when a case wassuddenly, presented. It was very desir-able that the chief detective shouldhave time to do this.

"Chief Detective Overworked."The Commissioner: Can you suggest

a remedy'—Yes. One remedy would beto relieve the chief detective—of theduty of conducting, cases at the Court.That would allow him more time. Ifit was suggested that the inquiry con-cerning Elsie Walker's death was notgrappled with in the early stages in anadequate manner, witness would saythat the case received attention com-mensurate with its importance at thevarious stages of the inquiry.

The Commissioner: That is not quitewhat I want. Assuming that it is afact that in the early stages of theinquiry a wide enough view was nottaken of the existing facts, and suf-ficiently early inquiry was not made,would that fact be attributable to pres-sure of work on senior officers?

Mr. Noel Johnson: Might I suggest,sir, that that is not a fair question?Unless the superintendent is preparedto agree that theve was some derelic-tion, it is not an easy question for himto answer.

The Commissioner: That may be so.I shall put the question in another way.Do you, Superintendent Wohlniann, con-sider that at the time of this inquirythere was anyone overworked?

Superintendent Wholmann: I thinkthe chief detective here is overworked,and I think the inspector has about themaximum burden he can carry.

Value of Detective Experience.Explaining the rank of a chief de-

tective, the superintendent said it wasequivalent to the status of seniorsergeant in the uniform branch. Whenpromoted, a chief detective became asub-inspector. Crime in New Zealandwa s dealt with by both branches of theservice. A promoted chief detectivewould find his detective experience ofvalue in the uniform branch. It wastrue that a sub-inspector did nothave to deal with detective work directly.Mr. Page: Is the present system suf-ficient to conserve the experience of achief detective, or is that dissipatedwhen he goes to the uniform branch?—It is never lost, sir. The fresh experi-ence renders him a more valuable officer.

In reply to a further question, witnesssaid that the time had not arrived inNew Zealand when the country couldafford the high cost of having "a num-ber of detectives in the smaller towns.

Mr. Page: Taking Auckland only,superintendent, tnere is nu commissionedofficer employed solely for detectivework ? —No.

Is it desirable there should be?—Notat the present time.At noon the superintendant finished

his evidence after six hours in thewitness box.

Sound Table Confeiencea.Inspector J. Mcllveney, officer in

charge of the Auckland metropolitan dis-trict, was the next witness. He saidthat he did not remember any matterswhich were crucial to the investigationsof the death of Elsie Walker going tothe vote at the daily conference betweenInspector Hollis, the superintendent andhimself. He did remember that it wasagreec to send for Dr. Murray on oneoccasion and see what they could getfrom him. Witness could not recallany other step in the investigationswhich \jjas due to a decision at theconferences. He was satisfied thatInspector Hollis was doing all that wasnecessary.

Mr. Currie: Did you have anything todo Ajth the recall of Detective-SergeantKelly from the Bay of Plenty.

Mr. Finlay: He was not recalled. Hecame home.Mr. Currie then read a telegram ask-

ing Detective-Sergeant Kelly to return•ad report to Inspector Ilolli*.

Witness: I had nothing to do with it.)Are you in a position to express an

opinion on the work of Mr. Hollis, yourco-inspector'.'—Before Mr. Hollis came 1did all his work and my own too, withthe exception of two stations that wereput on when the co-ordinated districtswere brought in.

In the opinion of witness the work of Ithe chief detective was heavy. As the

I population increased, the work became II heavier in volume. He could not say Ithe seriousness of the work had not |materially changed. He was not pre- jpared to express an opinion about that. |To judge it accurately, the records Iwould have to be consulted. 1

IClearing up Reports.

To Mr. A. H. Johnstone: I have beena member of the New Zealand PoliceForce since 1595. I joined as a con-stable. For about 2tj years I was inthe detective branch of the service.

All the matters connected with the; Elsie Walker case occurred outside hisdistrict, said witness. He was carefulto clear up all reports due from hisdistrict. The morning after the find-ing of the body of Elsie Walker thecase was brought up in conference byMr. Hollis. At the daily conferencesthere were no disagreements. The stepsto be taken were not discussed whollyevery day. It was impossible to dis-cuss all the steps. When the firstreport was received it appeared that thegirl had died from natural causes.That was the start. Laterdevelopments were discussed from timeto time. Whness knew of the examina-ition of the stomach. The advantage ofhis knowledge of detective work was atthe disposal of the others. The confer-ence of senior officers was a very seriousgathering. It was not in the nature ofan informal chat. The number of in-vestigations undertaken by the policewas increasing yearly. The staff wasalso growing.

The luncheon adjournment was takenat 1 p.m.

Afternoon Proceedings.The inquiry was resumed at 2.15.Inspector Mcllveney, cross-examined

by Air. .Moody, said Chief-DetectiveHammond carried out his duties "verywell" and "very thoroughly." Duringthe year 1928 Mr. Hammond had dealtwith 68tio files.

To. Mr. Xoel Johnston: Witness didnot mean to imply that Inspector Holliswas not fully occupied, but InspectorHollis had more than than witness usedto have, to devote attention to detectivematters.

To the Commissioner: The newarrangement of district* was effectedabout a year ago. Prior to that timewitness was the only inspector. Whenthe report from the Government analystwas received, the doctor was summonderfor an interview. Dr. Murray did notthen state that the probable cause ofdeath was concussion from a blow. Theollicers present at the interview were nofurther advanced when Dr. Murray leftthe room than they were when heentered.

SEARCHING INQUIRY.

COMPREHENSIVE TOUR

MR. PAGE TRAVELS 400 MILES

MANY PEOPLE QUESTIONED

With the idea of familiarising himselfwith the roads which it was thoughtElsie Walker traversed on her 200-milemysterious journey to Auckland, andwith the intention of making a study ofthe locality and the Bayly's farm atPapamoa whence the girl disappeared,Mr. E. Page., S.M., the commissioner atthe police inquiry, made a visit of in-spection during the week-end.

Some 400 miles were travelled by Mr.Page. Leaving Auckland about 2 o'clockon Saturday afternoon he went to Papa-toetoe. where certain measurement-were taken and inquiries made* Pokenowas the next place visited, and after-wards Waihi and Paeroa. the run end-ing at Tauranga at about 7 o'clock.

At 9 o'clock on Sunday morning Mr.Page was shown over the farm at Papamoa, formerly owned by Mr. FrankBayly, uncle of Elsie Walker. A mostsearching investigation of the localityand the farmhouse was made by Mr.Page. He had arranged for Mr. FrankBayly to be present, and many questionswere put to him. Constable Jackson, ofTe Puke, was also cross-questioned. Dis-tances on the farm were measured.

Both on the journey down and on thereturn trip distances were measured, andtimes taken. Police between Aucklandand Tauranga Mere interviewed andquestioned by the commissioner.

APPEAL TO YOUTH.

PROHIBITION ISSUE DEBATZJ.

IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION.

'•GROUND STEADILY LOST."

Education as a factor in the Prohibi-tion issue was emphasised by severalspeakers at the session of the MethodistConference this morning. The Rev. E.Drake moved a resolution urging thesetting up of a temperance committeein all the Methodist churches of theDominion.

"We have been losing ground, pariticularly among the young people, andit is for us to make some considerableeffort to recover the position we heldsome years ago," »aid the Rev. C. H.Olds, of Lower Hutt, in supporting themotion.

The Hon. L. M. Isitt agreed thatground had been steadily lost, and hethought even the most sanguine couldnot hope for a legislative victory forat least a session or two. The Pro-hibition forces were not as strong asthey were a year or two ago. As tothe future, much depended upon thesuccess or failure of Prohibition in theUnited States.

" If the Prohibitionists win there theeconomic effect will be so euormous thatit will spread to other nations," saidMr. Isitt. He added that visitors toAmerica had been much impressed bythe importance of the economic aspeetaof the Prohibition issue. i lie aaio.ithat appeared necessary in Now Zealandwas to start on the old Hues, to carryout temperance campaigns and to organ-ise an educative movement among theyouth of the community.

The Rev. J. Jacobson, of Petone, saidit was necessary to educate the peopleup to the standard that ruled a fewyears ago. The method at present fol-lowed was entirely wrong. The appealto the mass was effective only in thetowns, and, away from the towns, thecourse must be to talk to individuals.

Mr. Drake's motion was tarried.At a later stage the couforenc:

received a deputation from the New-Zealand Alliance, consisting of Messrs.C. 11. Edmond, A. C. A. Sexton, and C.Burton. Mr. Edmond reviewed themovement, and said Prohibition had avote of of) per cent at the poll of 1011.From 1914 to 1!>22 the vo,e was aboutstationary, \arying from 17 to 40 percent, and in ]«.»:>S it dropped to 40 percent. It seemed that some effort wasne.vssary to recover the position helda few years ago, and he asked the sup-port of the conference.

The aim of the Afliance, said Mr.Sexton, was the abolition of the liquortraffic by the direct vote of the people.It had been an old jibe that the teamof M.P.s sent from Auckland had beena thorn in the side of tho-e endeavour-ing to carry licensing legislation(laughter i. but the position I ,Ti < I beenentirely changed at the but election.The Alliance had succeeded in tin-Auckland district in drawing cvervcandidate out into the ope;C and the'vknew exactly where they stood on theProhibition issue. That was of theutmost importance. The political actionportion of the Alliance work was U n»va small portion of its activities, ! mf i'twas a very essential part.

" L'ntil we have in New Zealand amajority of opinion that even t-'i ■smallest quantity of liquor is harmfulwe shall never (*» able r 0 briii" aboutthis reform. - ' said Mr. Bur'on. on behalfof the Youths' Movement AgainstAlcohol, in urging the active, suoo'ort ofthe churches. k '

"To me the attack is most astonish-ing," said Mr. G. W. Hutchison, presi-dent of the Auckland Ko-tary Club, thismorning to a '"Star"' reporter who askedhim what he thought of to-day's cable-gram stating that the breach betweenthe Roman Catholic Church and theRotary movement had widened until ithad become a chasm. Mr. Hutchisonwent on to say that Rotary in its con-stitution and in the practice of its ideal*carefully avoided anything of a religiousnature. "If the result of this attackby the Vatican newsjwiper is that manyenthusiastic Rotarians who are RomanCatholics should feel bound to retirefrom the Rotary movement jt would bea matter for deep regret.

'"Rotary has become firmly establishedin Italy, there being 22 clubs with atotal membership of SBO, and I take itthat the bulk of those members wouldbe Roman Catholics. Rotary has foundfavour in high places in Italy. H.R.H.the Duke of Aosta. cousin i*f the King.is an honorary member of the NaplesRotary Club, and nt a banquet last yearshowed Iris appreciation of Rotary by anotable speech, eulogising its contribu-tion to the progress of the country.Then the Duke's two brothers, the Duke;ot the Abruzzi and the Count of Turin,are honorary members of the Rotaryclubs of Genoa and Florence respec-tively. The Crown Prince Umberto i-an hoviorary member of the Rotary Cn-.bot" Ciiiieo. [ may mention that'at anaudience held on January 17, 1!)2S. HisMajesty the King exhibited thoroughappreciation of the services Rotarv isrendering in his country.

"In May last the Government of ltahwas represented at a Rotarv confeicue •held in Turin, by the Prince of L'diiie.who is also a Kotarian. Personally Ihave not the slightest doubt that the-directors of Rotary International willbe alilc to convince the Holv See thatthere i s nothing in Rotarv that isantagonistic to the Roman CatholicChurch, and that there is no connectionwhatever between Rotary and Free-masourv."

_ Mr. Cochrane had such a wonderfultime in New Zealand when the Americanfleet visited here in 1025, that it wasnis keen desire to return.

Auckland is his first over-seas pev-t. and he looks forward to hissojourn in the city with keen antici-pation.

— I think I got the best post of anrof the new men sent to the overseastields.-' said Mr. Cochrane yesterday."I have just come out to assist ilr.liovle. the present Vice-Consul at Auck-

land and not to relieve him as it isMieved." Mr. Cochrane saw two years'service with the navy subsequent tograduating from the naval academv in jir>-24.

POWER CHARGES.

NEW SCALE ADOPTED.

REDUCTIONS TO CONSUMERS

YVATTEMATA BOARDS DECISION

Although no alteration has been mad-:to electric lighting charges in theWaitemata Electric Tower Boards area.reductions approved at to-day's meetingof the board will give benefit to con-sumers of power for milking and indu-trial motors and domestic purposes.

The new- scale of charges will be asfollows:—-

Milking Motors.—The fixed charge forthe three months, dune. July. Atcru-t.will be deleted. The charge for currentconsumed to be at the rate of 2jd pit-unit.

Industrial Motors.—No minimumcharge is to be levied on motors up toand including 3 h.p., excepting milkingmotors, providing the consumer is |otherwise paying a minimum charge of !not less than 5/8 per month.

** jIndustrial Power.—The first 100 units

is to be reduced from 3td to 3d per unit(gross).

"

|Domestic Power.—The first 30 units is I

to be reduced from 3id to 3d per unit(gross). i

Replying to a statement which iemanated from the Waitemata Chamber!of Commerce, suggesting that the inner t

, area of Devoupurt was carrying the bur- I. den of tlie board's development, and '•lighting should be reduced to bd a unit. Ithe chairman (Mr. J. YV. Hayden) said!that last year IWonport contributed 1£1!>,154 to the beard's revenue, or one-jthird of the total amount. Since 102,0, 'when the suburb commenced to receive:power from the 1. >ard, consumer- at IDevonport bad inc. cased by 173. Therev, ere now 2ti*>9 consumer- tiiere, as iagainst 4400 in the outside area. The ;proposed reductions meaut that Devon-'port would obtain 40 per cent of thewhole reduction, because a third of th<-industrial revenue and a large propor-tion of the domestic revenue came fromthere. This year the saving to it as theresult of the change over from thy ,-tcamplant was £5400. All charges c.. nsidercd, Devonport was paying 1-3 d .■>.unit less for its power than in 1!J2(5Lighting- charges were reduced last vear. |and on this account £4000 was saved to!consumers. I

Mr. T. Lamont: How are they savin-; \£0400 a year and still paving more for'their lighting? * " IMr. G. Trevithick: They are savin- it;on domestic and industrial power. j

"More Than Fair Share."Mr. Hayden contended that Devonpori !

was getting more than its fair share.and deplored the statements made at themeeting of the C&amber of Commerce.Mr. b. E. Kennings pointed cut th.it ithe chairman had told the Chamber of

Commerce that the lighting chargewould be reduced to b'd. Seventv-five iper cent of the consumers would benefit jby a reduction of that nature.

Air. Hayden said that the other mluc- 'tions affected 03 per cent of the con- !suuiers. j

Mr. J. Mackie said that considering! the domestic rate Devon port »a> gettingit* lighting at something under **1 aunit.

Mr. W. R. T. Leighton felt it wasunfair for Devonport to suggest that itwas carrying the load.Mr. A. E. Greenslade drew attention !

to the fact that when the board made !reduction* the benefits were universal. 'It would be a mistake to overdo thereductions. He regretted that there had ',been any suggestion of parochialism. j

It was decided to forward a copv ofthe chairman's explanation of the actualposition at Devonport to the WaitemataChamber of Commerce for its perusal.In moving his notice of motion toreduee the charges. Mr. Hayden ?aid theboard was budgeting to make ends meet.Mr. Kennings was of the opinion thatin view of the board's sound position it Ishould reduee its lighting charges.

Mr. Hayden said the board's charts Iwere quite competitive in regard °to jlighting, and the b»«vd should do *.«n:-- 'thing to assist the industrialist who was istruggling to build up secondarv jn.lu- 'tries. With the exception of shop-keepers, practically every consumer !would get a reduction under the revi-ed Iscale of charges. Every householder !was getting Id a unit off her domestic ;power account. If the majoritv of theboard preferred that the rebate of idshould be given on lighting it was for ,them to say. j

Mr. Kennimrs moved au amendment |favouring a reduction in lighting charge- '■to GAd a unit.. less 12X per cent. j

The meeting proceeded to more .regular discussion, aud ultimately Mr. 'Kenning*' amendment was defeated, andthe motion approving of the reduction- 'of other charges carried.

A further amendment ii.it 'the minimum charge be reduced from ."> 'to V was defeated. Mr. ilavdcu >.-.", d Iit would be a daugerous thing to tat r< r :with the minimum charge a- ir u,« :]'.c :fundamental principle of the board. I

ment's iand development policy -*a-

g:\ea by the Minister oi Public Work-Hon. E. A. Ransom. la=t night, when

speaking to a combined deputation, representing the Eotorua Borough Counc::.kotorua County Council. Rotorua Chamher of Commerce, and Rotorua-Taup-Progress League.

Without wishing to trespass on in-

Department off the Minister of La no?

Mr. Pansoic said he did not think r.would be a brea'.-h oi faith to tell cl ;•

-cheme vvhich the Hon. G. W. Eorlie-had in mind. Mr. Ransom explained ' ;.<> Tabout xl.'.'W.iX'i'i was available for laic"loir, ha-e. but there v\a; n'> fund to;

['•rovidir.g money for laud dev eiopn.ciit'idle Minister of Lauds would a-k Pariiament to estabii-h a land developmen'fund, from which prospective farmer-would be assisted to break in th-3 landuntil it vvas ready for selling. lhu* acertain amount of finance would be pro-vided till such time as the men haathe farm paying its way.

■ The Minister thought that a ma:; wh,,had been four or rive year- break:::..

I in iand should have saved a few hundreoi1 pounds by the time he was ready t.

i cultivate his land. Assistance on thj homestead system would be : rovuVt--..when a man had settled and made ce.

I tain improvements. Men who weir oilong-cultivated area, would, oi course.

I not require as-ista:icc to the -a.:,| extent. Mr. Ransom said the land dci velopment »> iieme would be removec

from the control of the ordinary landj boards. A special board for the whole

! Dominion would have the oversight oi| the scheme.

It was giatif.'. in_- to the Minister to1 iearn that laud c.-uld be bought nea,

| be broken in. including a capilai cost'i of £2 or £:3 au acre, and still U- a ■"<.' pe! cent better propjsition than land ini other parts. The Government was pre-pared to buy land-, reasonably priced.

L ' for purposes of closer cultivation and-! more intensive farming, in blocks of

from 50 to 70 acres. Crown lands wouldbe opened in the les- developed ■■ountie?and subdivided into l-"" or -0"acre lots. There had been a lot ortalk about bursting up big e-tates by agraduated land tay. but that had neve,appealed to Mr. Ran-om. In ma.n>cases it had been found that fho-.-estates could not profitably be farmedin less than 200-aore block-. In -oiu-rases w-here it had been tried it hidcost the Government ilg.1 "" 1" t,. -ettl-a man. Mr. Ransom, said that couhi co-be regarded as a practical scheme .'-hen.in districts such a- the Rotorua-Taui"'cor.ntrty. the work could be done for£120'.i. or even £1000. a man. TheMinister said he hoped to e-tablir-h asettlement principle in this and otherdistricts whereby the unemployed wouldbreak in certain blocks of land prior tosettlement. To do something on thoselines had long been his pet scheme.

The Ministe" agreed with a suggestionthat a soil analysis and topographicalsurvey should be made in the di-trict.-rating that he would lav the proposalsbefore the Minister of Agriculture 'MrForbes i.

GOBLIN MARKET FALLS TO PINKCOAT.

FAVOURITES PLACED IN SEVENEVENTS.

(Ti.v Telegraph.— Speeial to "Star.")CTiKISTCIirRCn. Saturday.

The Cuiiicrbtiry Jockey Club's summerii ling was held to-day in fine weather.The track was hard and fast. The attend-ance was tip to (lie average, and thetnialisator investments were £20,495,against £20,04."> last year.

Evening was first to break the line intrie Hornby Hamlkap, with Aberfeldyami Happy Queen in close attendance.E\ ening ami Aberfeldy were still showingclear of Happy Quen at the end of threefurlongs, where Killaddie, Ripdale an<lZeuxits were at tJie head of the others.There wa<s not much change racinground the home turn, but on reachingthe straight Aberfeldy and. HappyQueen retired. Toawai then moved up,but Evening Tield her place in front, andbeat Toawai by a neck. Ripdale wasthree-quartere of a length away, withWaterlow three lengths back.

Chide's Gallant Effort.Chide was chopped out at the start of

(.ho Trial Stakes, Arch Arrow and Sol-gele going on three lengths in front ofSea Raid, while Chide eoon dropped backto last. At the end of three furlongsSolgele was showing the way to SeaRaid and Arch Arrow, while Chide hadstarted to move up. Racing round theiiome turn Solgele and Sea Raid had(.'hide and The Viscount as their nearestattendants. Chide took the lead a fur-long from the post and won easily bythree lengths from The. Viscount, whobeat Solgele by a similar distance, withSea Raid half a-length further back.

Middle Park Plate.Coblin Market, starting from the out-

nide, began very smartly in the MiddlePark Plate, and when the ourse properwas reached was in front, on the rail, withPink Coat handy, while Rigmarole andBon Rose were at the head of the others.Coblin Market and Pink Coat were to-gether a furlong from the post, butPink Coat wore his rival down and wondecisively by a neck. Rigmarole wasthree lengths away, with Bon Rose twolengths further back.

Rapier Defeated.Beau Geste was first to show out in

the Midsummer Handicap, followed byCount Cavour, Prid* and Prickles. Atthe end of a furlong Pride and Prickleswere in the lead, and two lengths fur-ther on the pair were together in thelead, with Battle Colours, Rapier, CountCavour and Beau Geste last. BattleColours moved up to Prid© and Pricklesat the home turn, and these three ledinto the straight, where Rapier— on therails—and Beau Geste—on the outside—were handy. Rapier and Beau Gestewere in charge a furlong from the post,a great finish ending in favour of BeauGeste by a nose. Pride was threelengths away, just in front of Prickles.

The Youngsters.Courtlike and Juniper were showing

clear in the Lyttelton Plate when thecoarse proper was reached, with StraightCourse, Arrow Shield and Desert Songalso prominent. The leading pair werenever troubled, Juniper beating Court-like by a head. Straight Course wastwo lengths away, with Desert Songclose up fourth, followed by Jaleux andBelcaire.

Craven Plate.Meadow Lark and Arrowmir led for

about a furlong in the Craven Plate,when Arrowmir opened out the gap totwo lengths from Meadow Lark, withGold Brick, Silver Coot and First Raidnext. Arrowmir was just clear ofMeadow Lark at the entrance to thestraight, with Gold Brick still headingthe others. In a good finish Arrowmirlasted long enough to beat Meadow Larkby a head, Silver Coot finishing fast,was three-quarters of a length away, aneck in front of First Raid.

Nearly A Surprise.Great Star and Arch Arrow (tenth

in order of betting) were firstto become prominent in the HalswellHandicap, while Paper Boy and Star-shooter followed them on to the courseproper. These four had the race tothemselves, Great Sta beating ArchArrow by half-a-length. Paper Boy,who finisher strongly over the last fur-long, was three-quarter* of a lengthaway, with Starshooter a length anda-half further back.

Final Favourite Fails.Full Feather, ridden by R. S. Bagby,

was favourite in a good betting race, forthe Post Handicap. He went down veryscratchily in his preliminary, and in therace never looked like a winner. Pangolinmade the pace to the straight, whereNincompoop retired. Buoyant was infront at the distance, and stalled offAmor's challenge by a neck. Paquitocame with a late run to get third, lessthan a length away, and Pangolin closeup. Paquito was unlucky to be beaten.He was a long way back at the entranceto the straight, and even then mighthave won but for meeting trouble. Amorgave further evidence of being an im-proved horse.

Beautiful weather favoured the Ota-hub u Trotting Club for the opening ofits summer meeting on Saturday. Therewas a large attendance and the goingwas perfect. Backers were right on themark and collected on the favourites inthree of the first four races. Glide-away won the Otahuhu Cup by a narrowmargin, and Dundas Boy defeated severalwell-backed candidates in the- sprintraw. Great Change led throughout inthe President's Handicap and paid agood price. Nelson MeCormick was agood favourite in the saddle race, inwhich he scored a comfortable win bytwo lengths.

The driver of Billy Carbine, J. G. Rob-ertson, complained that H. J. Millen,who drove Lord Roberta in the TrialHandicap, bad interfered with him. Afterhearing evidence, the judicial committeedismissed Robertson's complaint.

WHEEL AND TRACK NOTES.

The Southern three-year-old Wraeklcrput up a game effort when he acted asrunner-up to Torpedo Huon in the i'apa-kura Handicap, and shcuild pick up astake during the meeting.

Jean McElwyn put up a good per-formance when she ran second to Glide-away in the Cup. She was always inthe picture and only tiretl over the las-tbit. The Southern mare may do betteron Wednesday.

Althoughhe failed to get in the moneythe Southern trotter, Dipnoi, shapedwell enough in the Trial Handicap toindicate that he is likely to get on thewinning list before the season is muchfurther advanced.

The supporters of Rose Marie wereon good terms with themselves when thefield turned for home in the TamakiHandicap, at which stage ehe was racingin the lead with Halgana. However, shefailed to return a dividend, but her turnmay not be far off.

The local trotter Great Change trotteda faultless race in the President's Handi-cap, which he won without beingrequired to improve on his handicap. Heonly needs to retain his present form toget further stake-money before the pre-sent season is over.

Torpedo Huon registered an impres-sive performance when he captured thePapakura Handicap, which marked hisfirst appearance in a race in theDominion. His condition indicated thathe had done a fair amount of work, whilehe stayed out the two miles in convinc-ing style. When he has had the benefitof a bit more racing the Black Huonhorse is likely to be seen to advantagein more important events.

The roan pacer Glnndore went a fairrace in the mile saddle event, althoughhe failed to pay a dividend. He racesmore reliable with the weight on top,and his turn for a win is well overdue.

Bonnie Belmont lost gr rinA at thestart in tie trotters race, r.un on hieshowing in that event no !-.' . can beformed ii'faiding nis futur: prospects.Tiie Ausiialian bred gelding is a likelylooking tot and he may do hotter whenlie has hJ a bit more raci.ig.

Despite the fact that be went overseven seconds better than his handicapBilly Carbine bad. to be content withsecond place in the Trial Handicap. Thebrown gelding trotted a solid race andwas very unlucky to strike one asspeedy as Akenehi on the limit.

Gold Dial put in a great finishing runon the outside in the Mount AlbertHandicap, and better placed earlier inthe race may have reversed places withthe winner. The chestnut mare stayswell, and in her present condition shouldshow up around the country meetings.

The Abbey looked in perfect conditionwhen he went out to contest the Cupand was expected to take a hand in thesettlement of that event. Any chancelie had was settled at the start when hebacked away from the barrier and cap-sized his driver out of the sulky.

Dundas Boy paced a solid race in theMyers Handicap and returned a gooddividend when he wan that event. Hisfourth in the Cup earlier in the dayevidently did him no harm, for hesmothered the field for pace in theMyers Handicap over the last half-fur-long.

Nad he not lost some ground at thestart of the President's Handicap TheTartar may have, been closer up thanfourth at the finish of that race, for oncehe got going lie gave a good display oftrotting. He is in first-rate condition,and his winning turn may come at anytime.

The fact that she went five secondsbetter -.Inn her handicap when she wonthe Tamaki Handicap will make it muchharder for Halgana to win 'n the futureStill «re ;t a young mare who has beensteadily improving and probably thebest has not been seen of her up to thepresent t me.

Akenehi put up a sterling perform-ance by leading throughout in the TrialHandicap and scoring a comfortable winby three lengths. She clipped nineseconds off her handicap, thus settingthe back-markers an impossible task.This mare, who has done very littleracing, is eure to be heard of again.

In the Mount Albert Handicap VanRich was never further back thanfourth at any stage of the running, anddriven a patient race by G. Kobertson,landed the stake by a narrow margin.In winning Van Rich failed to better hishandicap and if he retains hit* presentform he is likely to add to his recordstill further.

The good performance that wasroistered by Xelson McCormack in theTaniaki Handicap, was responsible forthat horse being made favourite lateron in the flay in the mile saddle race.He fully justified the confidence of thepublic for he sorm hit the front andnever looked like being defeated at anystage of the race. I. Rogers has the baygelding in great fettle at the presentstage and further successes are likelyto come his way.

J. SHAW LANDS A TREBLE.One of the outstanding features on

the opening day of the Otahuhu Trot-ting Club was the successes gained byhorses trained and driven by the localmentor, J. S. Shaw. This trainer'scharges accounted for three races duringthe day which is a most creditablerecord, and one unlikely to be beatenfor some little time. Shaw, who pro-duced his team in capital condition forthe meeting, is one of our most pains-taking trainers, having already turnedout fifteen winners during the presentseason, a total likely to be augmentedconsiderably before the end of theperiod.

BOXING.

LECKIE V. HATTON.

FLNE CONTEST ANTICIPATED.

A ding-dong fight, with a wealth ofclever boxing, is anticipated at the TownHall this evening, when Johnny Lcckie.featherweight champion of New Zealand,will meet Matt Hatton, the Aucklandchampion, in a match scheduled for 15three.-minuto rounds. The purse put upby the Northern Boxing Association, isone of £150. With both men in the bestof condition the contest should bo thebest seen locally for some time, and.judging by the rush for reserved seats,there is likely to be a capacity house.Leckie is known t6 be a very clever littlelighter with a solid punch capable ofwinning his match by the short route,but Hatton is expected to put up a greatshowing. In addition to the main bout,a number of amateur preliminaries havebeen arranged.

noon TIMES RECORDED.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

PICTON, Saturday.Conditions for the New Zealand row-

ing championship regatta at Pictonto-day were fairly satisfactory. Theweather was fine, and the first race, thechampion fours, was rowed on calmwater. However, t7ie northerly breezefreshened later, and by the time thechampion pairs race was to be rowedthe water was much too rough, and therace was postponed until '■> p.m. Then,except at the start, where there was aslight johble, the conditions were ex-cellent.

Hamilton, winners of the senior fours,have won that event on one previousoccasion. 1924-25. Turner recorded afine performance in placing Taurangaamong the list of champions for the firsttime by winning the singles title instrong company. Jackson and Traill,last year's winners, retained theirdouble sculling title in fine style, prov-ing too tough a proposition for theirolder and more experienced opponents,I. St Clair and Molesworth (Hamilton).Cooke and Williams (Star, Wellington),scored a meritorious win in the cham-pion pairs.

In all the championship events theexhibitions were excellent, and timesrecorded were good. fJood starts werethe order of the day. and the raceswere all exciting. Public interest waskeen, and in every way the regatta wasa success.

The score at 310p.m. was 123 for the loss of two wickets.The total of 150 was hoisted after 2hours 8 minutes' play. McMullan and52 n,T«,ettled down t0 cricketWhen 34, Blunt gave an easy chance toHamilton, which was not accepted TT»score at the tea adjournment was 175On resumption, after the tea adjourn-ment, McMullan and Blunt batted attrac-tively, boundary shots being frequentand 200 appearing after two hours 44minutes' play. McMullan reached thenaif century in 101 minutes, Blantgetting his with a beautiful cut to therails off Newman.The pair scored evenly until at 80Blunt drew away and reached his 100amid loud cheers. McMullan looked acif he, too, would reach the century, and

the crowd became intensely excitedwhen he made his first false stroke ofhis innings, and was caught. He liftedXewman nicely into Page's hands ttshort square-leg, 311—3—95.

Cavanagh joined Blunt, and two moreruns were added before an appealagainst the light was upheld, but iathat time Cavanagh survived an excitedappeal from almost the whole Canter-bury team for a catch behind thewickets.

THE WORLD of SPORTBOWLING.

TWO TOURNAMENTSCONCLUDED.

PROSPECTS IN ENGLAND.

5 ' (B\ TRL'NDKLR.i

A week of perfect summer weatherenabled 1 lie centre pairs tournamentnnd lite second Rotorua tournament (u

be carried out under delightful condi-tjons. Competitors in (he latter werevery please,! to see the improvement inthe. greens compared with their .statea fortnight earlier, and as this is quitea common experience it looks as if theright policy is not carried out in pre-paring for the first and larger tourna-ment each year. However, the localcommittee doubtless saw this for them-selves, and will take steps to providebetter greens in the future. A notice-able feature was the wider representa-tion inlast week's function, quite a num-ber coming from Wellington and otherdistant centres. While only 11 out ofthe 30 rinks were from the Auckland'centre, in the first tournament 32 outof 55 came from here.

In one respect, however, the tourna-ments were similar, in that both wereneedlessly prolonged by finding the sec-tion winners first, instead of letting allthe winners and ties go forward tointersection piny. If there was any-thing gained by the plan adopted, itmight be worth sacrificing the interestfor the sake of getting it through, butit takes longer and creates less inter-est the way it is played. It was shownlast week that it took four rounds tofind the winning rink in the first tour-nament, whereas three would have suf-ficed if all the ties had gone forward,and it would still have taken only fourrounds if all the sevens had qualified,making 14 rinks go forward.

In last week's tournament it againtook four rounils, even though only 30rinks competed in three sections, in-stead of 55 in five sections. But againthe winner would have been found inthree rounds if all the ties had goneforward, and the Dominion provisionmentioned last week would still havetaken only the same four rounds.

There seems to be no question thatthe extra interest created by this sug-gestion would far outweigh any objec-tions, even if it did happen to make anextra round, which is very unlikely, fornearly every rink would then have someinterest in the whole of the sectionplay, right up to the last round.

In the meantime it is only necessaryto congratulate the two Wellingtonrjnks who fought out a close finish, andif only the Rotorua tournament couldbe held a little closer to the Dominiontournament, when the latter is held inAuckland or Wellington, there mightafc?o be a few South Island rinks com-peting.

The Pairs Tournament.This will give something to talk abotit

for a week or two, if only on accountof the unexpected happening in so manysections. However, as the president ofthe centre observed, when presentingtho prizes, the same familiar facesusually appear in the finals, in spite ofall tbr> luck of the game. Mr. Coldicuttremarked that the finalists had beenbefore the Auckland public for thirtyyears, and none of the younger genera-tion Beemed able to displace them.

Off to England.At the conclusion of play at Remuera

*>n Saturday the club president, Mr. T.R. Proctor, made a presentation of acased table timepiece to Mr. J. Woolter,who leaves for England this eveningby the Aorangi, via Australia. Eighttimes champion of the club during thelast twenty years, Mr. Proctor ex-

pressed the. confident hope that theirchampion would represent the club withcredit abroad, and assured him of awarm welcome on his return.

With regard to Mr. Wooller's gamesIn England, there is little doubt that he■will seize every opportunity to play inany singles tournament that is open,for this is a very popular game in Eng-land. Rink play, however, is even moreImportant, and half a rink from Auck-land is already in Australia, en routeto England, viz., Messrs.| J. Pascoe,Devonport, and A. D. Gray, Auckland.With Mr. Wooller leaving to-day, andMr. H. W. Frost (Carlton) leaving in afew weeks, they would make up aboutthe strongest Auckland rink that hasever played out of New Zealand. Sev-eral other good players have alreadybeen mentioned as likely to leave Auck-land shortly, and if they will notifytheir movements while in England toMr. Pascoe, whose London address willbe care Bank of New Zealand, he maybe able to arrange for two or threerinks to ( play in some of their big tour-naments. They may be able to followup the great success of Mr. Hardley'sparty of last year, who won handsomelytwo of the four Test matches, and onlyjust missed winning the other two. Theyshould also keep in touch with Mr. Mel-bourne Orchard, late of Devonport, whoseaddress is 47, Stanbury Road, S.E. 15,for he always knows what tournamentsare pending in which New Zealandbowlers will be eligible to compete.

Another Australian in Auckland.While the Remuera members were

assembled for Mr. Wooller's presenta-tion, Mr. Proctor took the opportunityto introduce to the company Mr. R.Rogerson, of Perth, West Australia,■who had arrived from Rotoma the pre-vious evening. Mr. Rogerson is knownin N.Z. as the only skip on eitheraide .who had threa wins in the threeTest matches in Wellington last month,and- he went to Remuera to see hisopponent in one of those matches, Mr.Arthur Parsons, competing in the pair£final. He is playing at Carlton thisafternoon, Mount Albert to-morrowafternoon, and all day on Wednesday inthe tournamentat Ponsonby, leaving forAustralia on Friday.

Other tournaments pending are pairsat St. Helier's a week later, March 6,rinks at Mount Albert on MarcTi 13, andrinks at Mangere on March 14.

"VENGEANCE"By S. ANDREW WOOD

CHAPTER IV.

The Shattered Love Dream.Two men—father and son—stood in

the large, severely-furnished study ofStryal Chase, the big Georgian housewhich Richard Lyndon had bought re-cently.

"I don't quite understand," RichardLyndon said, slowly.

John Lyndon gave a sharp, barkinglaugh.

"Listen, then." he said, harshly. "Andperhaps you will understand, Dick. Mystory begins more than thirty years ago.I was in love with a woman. She wasthe only woman to whom I would havegiven my soul. I should have won her.But another man came and carried heroff. They were married and I was for-gotten. But I did not forget." JohnLyndon made a savage sound that mighthave been laughter or pain.

"I made a vow of vengeance and keptup my friendship with the man whohad stolen the woman I wanted. Helooked upon me as his closest and dear-est friend. His wife died, leaving himwith one child, and he leaned upon andtrusted me—forgetting, the fool! ButI never forgot. The man was calledReuben Greenwood", Dick!"

Richard Lyndon's knuckles whitenedas he gripped the desk against which hestood as though carved from stone.

John Lyndon's harsh voice went on."Five years ago Reuben Greenwood

was in low water, and, unknown toanybody, he gave me an agreement uponGreenwood's Mills. That agreement ex-pired two weeks ago with five thousandpounds still owing. I had my vengeance,Dick. For the mills which ReubinGreenwood idolised from his fool's heartbecame mine!"

"Whilst he lay unconscious and al-most at the point of death!" RichardLyndon's white lips whispered.

He was gazing at the elder man witha startled loathing that he fought invain to keep out of his eyes. But JohnLyndon did not seem to see him. Ahard, triumphant smile twisted his lipsas ho took forth a sealed parchmentenvelope. He flung it, with a littlepuff of dust, on the desk."

"The latest quarry of the LyndonSyndicate, Dick!" He said, his voicebreaking in a husky laugh. "Green-wood's Mills, Mossgiel!"

Richard Lyndon drew a deep breath.His blue eyes burned. He picked up thesealed envelope and straightened him-self slowly. His strong, boyish chinwas set hard. Something in his move-ment chased away the lines of uglylaughter from John Lyndon's eyes.

"What are you going to do, Dick ?"

the elder man asked, with a quick noteof fear.

Richard Lyndon, of Lyndon's Syndi-cate, laughed without mirth.

"I am going to give back to ReubenGreenwood that of which he has beenrobbed," he said.

He heard the sound of rage and fearwhich John Lyndon gave as he strode tothe door, and clenched his hands in aparoxysm of ehame that was like phy-sical pain. A moment later he was out-side.

"The little Peugeot, Jelks!"He flung the curt words to the chauffeur

who caftne forward from the gabled.stable-yard. Richard Lyndon looked athis watch as he waited. His face soft-ened for a mere instant.

"Poor little Joan!" he murmured.He looked back as he swung into the

driving-seat of the car. John Lyndonwas standing, bare-headed, on the ter-race, his arms uplifted. Something inthe wild and crumpled poise of his bodymade Dick wince with sudden pity.Vengeance! Dick Lyndon gripped thesteering-wheel savagely as the carswept down the carriage drive.

He leaned back in his seat as the carsped towards the distant moorland thattrembled in shadowy purple against theblue sky. The smoke of Mossgiel—nodeeper than tobacco smoke, stained thesteep shoulder of the nearest hillside,and a thumb-nail of white marked thegreat scar of limestone where Clough'sCave stood.

The stern lines left Dick Lyndon'sface. His blue eyes grew tender andthoughtful. It was strange that thelives of Joan Greenwood's mother andhis own father had run together be-fore either of them was born, that hisfather should have plotted an insaneplot against Reuben Greenwood whlistposing as his friend for many years, andyet, because Joan had been at school,and he had been abroad, they never metuntil that day in Clough's Cave. Hehad forgotten the sealed packet in hispocket, forgotten everything in the vis-ion of grave, violet eyes and sunny hairthat seemed to sweep to him on thewarm, heathei-laden breeze. At the darkopening of the cave a slender girlishfigure was standing.

"Joan!" he whispered.He had reached her in a single step

as she turned with a quick and startledmovement, her lips parted upon hisname. A sudden uncontrollable hungergripped him and left him standing withhis arms hanging for an instant. Then,roughly and closely, he had caught her.

"My dear!" he said, unsteadily. "Iwant you, and I can't wait any longer!"

His lips touched her soft hair and fellto her uplifted face. It seemed to DickLyndon that all the magic good fortuneof his life had been fashioned for thatmoment alone. A little sobbing laughescaped Joan, stifled against him. Then,with a quick step, she freed herself, andlooked at him with wide, deep eyes.

"Oh, Dick, I am dreaming!" she whisp-ered.

Dick Lyndon caught her with a happylaugh. A great wonder ran through him.

"I can't believe it, Joan," he said,with a thrill in his voice. "That you—you do love me?'

She nodded. A flush of colour pouredinto her face, which had been whiteand strained. Then, slowly, the bright-ness died out of her eyes. She shiveredslightly as memory came back to her.Lyndon drew her close.

"I frightened you, like a brute," hesaid, with a quick glance at Joan'sebbing colour. The words came swiftly.His masterful face was very tender.•'But I had to speak, Joan. And nowthat I have I must go on with my con-fession, and you must listen. WhenI first met you I told you a lie. I didnot mean to deceive you, but everyoneknew my real name. Forgive me, dear.But my name is not Dick Travers—atleast, not all of it. I am called DickTravers Lyndon."

He paused. At his last words JoanGreenwood had stiffened to stone. Veryslowly she drew apart. She leanedagainst a boulder of rock with her handat her throat. When she spoke Lyndondid not know her voice.

"You!" she said, in low, dead toues."Then you are—Richard Lyndon!"

Lyndon nodded. He made a step for-ward. But Joan shrank.

"Keep back, please!" she whispered.She lifted her hand to her eyes for a

single moment. When she took it awayagain there was a hard brightness- tothem that made Lyndon stand still withunknown dread.

"Joan!" he flung out, sharply.Joan Greenwood laughed. The sound

made the man wince. It seemed toshake all the sweet girlhood from herand leave her a scornful woman.

"If my father is dead," Joan Green-wood said slowly, "then you have killedhim, Richard Lyndon."

Dick Lyndon retreated. Joan's eyes.were blazing with scorn and hatred.'The soft lips he had kissed an instantbefore were pale and quivering. Venge-ance! The words which her father hadspoken came all back to her.

"Dead!' he echoed, stupidly.Joan Green wood lifted her pale face.

The passion had died from it, leaving itexpressionless. "I shall hate you alwaysfor the deceit you have practised uponme," she said, her words coming like icydrops of water. "And also because Ipromised my father to hate von. Someclay, perhaps, I shall ruin vou as youruined him. I shall never rest until Ihave done so, Richard Lyndon! Nowlet mo go."

*

'Her voice wavered treacherously. She

moved blindly out into the sunlight.''Joan!" Dick Lvndon cried, harshly.He flung out his hands, groping forthe words that would not come. 0 Forone instant he caught her and held her,looking deep into her wide, dry eyes."Oh, Dick!" she whispered.

Then she had broken free and wasrunning down the stone-scattered paththat wound down the hillsile. Shepassed over the narrow stile and van-ished beyond the grey stone wall thatstraggled across the hillside. DickLyndon stood like a man who wa-thunderstruck.

He roused himself suddenly, as theshrill whistles of Mossgiel came faintlyfrom the valley below. It was lateafternoon, and the mills were beginningto empty in the little town beneath.

"It is all some ghastly mistake!"Lyndon muttered. "Reuben Greenwoodcan't be dead! If he is I must help her.Even if she—hates me!'

All his life, Dick Lyndon knew, hewould never cease to love the girl whohad just flung her hatred at him, whosekiss he yet felt on his lips.

Vengeance!Lyndon laughed aloud. His father's

vengeance had shattered his dreams.What would Joan's vengeance do forherself and him?

He reached the low stone wall whichran along the road where he had lefthis car. Mechanically he unlatched th;light wooden gate. Midway throughDick Lyndon stopped dead.

The narrow lane was alive with work-people, who surged up over the browof the steep hill in a never-endingstream. His car, where it stood in theroadway, was surrounded by a sea ofshouting men and women. As he ap-peared in the gateway a loud cry ofanger went up.

"Here he comes! Here's Richard Lyn-don, who's stolen Greenwood's mills frVmReuben Greenwood and thinks he cansteal the folk who work in it as well!"

The hoarse shout rose like the noise ojbreakers. Up the lane which led frouGreenwood's Mills, where they smokecin the valley, grimy people came runningand the nearest of the angry crowd began to hustle him where he stood.

Dick Lyndon barely noticed them. Hewas looking, with a set and bitter face,at the girl who stood motionless on theoutskirts of the crowd, as though watch-ing her own handiwork.

It was Joan Greenwood who watched.(To be continued daily.)

RESOLUTIONS OF UNION.

MAJXT.i:X.\X( K OF HOSPITAL.

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

WAIHT, Saturday.At a meeting of the YVaihi branch

of the Farmers' Union the tjiies-tion of the extension of the Waihihospital district by including the Wai-kino, Karangaliake and Waihi ridings ofOhinemuri County was discussed at

length, and it was finally resolvedthat a deputation wait on the Hospitaliioarcl requesting that some arrange-ments be made to meet the people ofKatikati and Aongatete with a viewto the inclusion of these districts, alsoin the proposed extended hospital area.

It was also decided to communicatewith Whangamata settlers with a viewto having that district included. Theopinion was expressed that if at any-time mining operations ceased in Waihithe maintenance of the hospital wouldfall solely upon the flirminp; districts.

With regard to the proposed visit 01the Minister of Lands, the Hon. G. W.Forbes, to the district, it was decided toask the Thames County to grant permis-sion for the branch to be representedon deputations.

KIDNEY TROUBLEis cause of weakness and

"too-old" feeling.Why do so many men and women feel

old before their time, complaining ofbackache, weakness in the limbs, loss ofvitality and vigour, sleepless nights,bladder trouble, pains in joints andmuscles '!

Too-old, tired-out men and women,your trouble in the true sense is not anervous one. It is a blood trouble start-ing at the kidneys. The kidneys may besaid to rule the body's health. When thekidneys are failing to keep the bloodstream pure, poison and waste matteraccumulate. Thus, with an impureblood supply surging through the body,poisons are lodged in muscle*, joints, etc.,and every tiny nerve centre calls out inpain. That is why your "nerves" as yousay are on edge. This impure, sluggishblood makes you tired, weak and lackingthe vim and vigour to enjoy work andpleasures.

There is a remedy for thi« deprcss'ng,health-destroying state of affairs, and avery simple remedy, too. It lias beenknown for over 40 rears under the nameof De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills.Tens of thousands of people have testedthis remedy and found it infallible in allcases of Loss of Vitality, Lumbago,Weak Back. Sciatica and Kidney Trouble.Ho to your chemist now and secure asupply of this inexpensive, yet invalu-able, "remedy. The 3/fi (or 0/6 for fullmonth's supply) you spend will he thebest investment you will ever make.The very young, the weakest and theoldest can take "T)e Witt's" with con-fidence. Xo dangerous drills, but ascientific preparation that will rlo yonirood from the very first dose. Oct T)eWitt's and health. Tn 24 hours youwill see results. This is a. statement offact.

DOMINION'S SHARE.

GLEANINGS FROM THE CENSUS

FIGURES AND FACTS.

At present the "white*' population ofNew Zealand, broadly speaking, com-prises 95 per cent of the whole. The"'coloured'' population, exclusive of theMaoris, however, is deemed by theGovernment Statistician to be suffici-ently numerous to have a census volumeall of its own. the facts and figures col-lected about the people at thetime of the 1926 Census being summar-ised under the heading of ''race-aliens."the term being used to denote personsnot of European or of Maori descent.

Race-aliens as a whole numbered 6302in 1926. The great majority (."5417, or86 per cent) were Asiatics; in fact,Chinese, Indians, and Syrians aggregated5303, equivalent to 84* per cent of allrace-aliens. in addition to the threeraces noted, the only ones to attainnumerical importance were Japanese(59), Fijians and other Polynesians(697), negroes (95), and "West Indians,"so returned (61). One-half of the totalincrease, 1916-21, was due to an expan-sion in the numbers of Chinese, whilegains by Syrians, Indians, and Poly-nesians accounted for the greater partof the balance.

During the intercensal period, 1921-26,the greatest, absolute increase (337)was recorded bv Polynesians, whilesecond place (316"; fell to Indians, thirdto Syrians (244), and fourth to Chinese(108). Gains in a lesser degree—al-though, in view of the small numbersinvolved, at a relatively high rati;—werethe part of Japanese, West Indians, andArabs. Filipinos made a first appear-ance in race-alien tables. Declines werenoted in the case of Asiatic Jews, Mela-nesians, Cingalese, and Malays. Poly-nesians, who are, of course, akin to theMaoris, come to New Zealand largelyfrom Fiji; from the Cook Islands, whichwere annexed to New Zealand in 1901;and from Western Samoa, now admini-stered as mandated territory.

The Chinese.At one time forming the only con-

siderable J)odv of non-European or non-Maori race in New Zealand, Chinese<till form the greatest section of therace-alien population. Originally com-ing to the country in numbers in thewake of the rush following gold discov-eries, by ISBI they had attained to astrength of f>oo4, equivalent to 1.0*2 percent of the total population other thanMaoris. The numerical record is, a*follows:—

In ISBI was passed the Chinese Im-migrants Act, the first legislation directedagainst the free entry of Chinese. ThisAct placed a poll tax of £10 per headon each Chinese immigrant, and alsolimited the number of such immigrantsthat might be carried by one vessel toone for even ten tons burthen.

For many years after 18S1 the Chinesepopulation steadily decreased, but in1894 and 1895 there appeared signs ofan increase in numbers, and in 1896 anAct was passed imposing further re-strictions. The poll tax was increased to£100, and the limit of Chinese immi-grants on one vessel placed at one forevery 200 tons burthen. This againcaused the number of Chinese to decfine,but the substantial gain between 191t>and 1921 and a smaller gain 1921-26 willbe noted.

Indians and Syrians.A point of distinction between Indians

and other race-aliens is that the formerare usually British subjects. Indians inthe Dominion in 1911 numbered 15. By1916 this figure had increased to 181, to671 by 1921, and to 957 in 1926.

Syrians have likewise shown a markedj increase from 195 in 1396 to 951 in 1926.

The rapidity with, which the numberof race-aliens of mixed blood has arisenis shown by the fact that in 1916 thesenumbered 347 and 1390 in 1926. An in-teresting aspect of racial data is thatwhich tends to show whether assimila- ition of race-aliens into the general popu-1lation occurs more rapidly in certainlocations than in others, but no conclu-sive evidence which might serve as abasis for speculation can be drawn fromavailable figures. !

Geographical Distribution.In earlier days the race-alien popula-

tion was located on the goldfields; butin more recent times it has shown atendency to urbanisation, and a pre-dilection for the North Island. In 1926nearly 80 per cent of race aliens werelocated in the North Island. Proportionsof race aliens per 10,000 of populationof all races in provincial district*were:—

Westland. it will be observed, pos-sesses the highest ratio of race aliensReference to table three will show thatthere, with the exception of a few-Syrians, the race aliens are whollvChinese. The formerly important gold"-fields in Westland and the small totalpopulation are sufficient explanation ofWestland's position.

The comparatively high ratio notedfor Wellington provincial district is dueto the fact that it contains over one-third of the Chinese in the Dominion.In Southland and in Canterbury the re-lative numerical paucity of race aliensis very evident.

Though Chinese attain a modest re-presentation throughout New Zealand,their real strength lies in the Welling-ton (34 per cent) and Auckland (32 pereeni) districts.

The great majority of Indians arelocated in Auckland "(57 per cent) andWellington (22 per cent). Only 15 percent of the whole were enumerated inthe South Island.

The main stronghold of the Syrians isOtago, but considerable numbers are tobe found in Wellington and Auckland.

Japanese are located in Auckland andWellington, as are also the majority ofnegroes, while Polynesians are practic-ally confined to the Auckland provincialdistrict.

As was the case in 1921, the 1928ceiwofl ateo showed that 63 per cent ofall race-«H«u were residents of the 14urban areas or largest centres of popa-latka in New Zealand.

BOROUGH COUNCIL MEETING.

(From Our Own Correspondent.>CAMBRIDGE. Friday.

The Mayor (Mr. T. F. Richards) presidedover the monthly meeting of the BoroughCouncil last evening. A committee was setup to confer with the local Plunket Societyregarding the site for the new Plunket andRest Room building. The Health Inspectorwrote pointing out that the rubbish tip sitewas in a badly neglected condition, and thatthe sanitary contractors were not buryingnightsoU according to the requirements ofthe by-laws. The borough committee alsoreported on the trouble. The clerk was in-structed to call applications for contractorsfor the new contract. It was also decidedthat the rubbish removal should be aseparate contract. Arising out of a dis-cussion on rentals for re-leases of boroughsections, the Mayor stated that the newvaluation of the borough would probablytake place before the end of March. Mr. C.Trethoweu, bus proprietor, of Cambridge,wrote complaining of the treatment receivedat the hands of the bus licensing authority(Hamilton Borough Council) In refusinghim an omnibus license. The council's sup-port was invited. The council held that itwas a matter for the public to take up,possibly through the Chamber of Commerce.It was decided, however, that the Mayorshould represent the council at the forth-coming sitting of the Transport AppealBoard, when Trethowen's case is dealt with.The council were favourably disposed to-1wards the superannuation scheme for local |body employees, and resolved that a recom-!mendation go forward to the incoming jcouncil. The treasurer reported that to theend of January rates to the amount of£7526 had been collected out of a total of£ Soiv.

CAMBRIDGE MAYORALTY.At the monthly meeting of the Borough iCouncil on Thursday evening the sitting ]Mayor (Mr. T. F. Kichardsi announced that!

he would again be a candidate for the office Iat the forthcoming municipal elections. Aformer Mayor (Mr. C. H. Priestley) has alsoannounced his intention to contest the seat, i

TE AROHA.

Mr. H. A. Bradley has been appointedsecretary to the Te Aroha Chamber ofCommerce and has taken up the position.Mr. J. Cochrane presided at the meetingof the local branch of the AucklandAcclimatisation Society. The secretaryreported that the fifty* pheasants receivedhad been liberated and would form anothergood beginning for the area thev willoccupy. During the last few month* theusual quota of trou'c fry had been liberatedin the various streams of the district.Satisfaction was expressed at the pro"re<sof the branch. " =

No rain has fallen for weeks and dairyfarmers would now welcome a change fordamper conditions. The supplies to thedistrict dairy factories have decreased dur-ing the past week, but as there is amplepasture feed a fall of rain would preventfurther decreases in butterfat for a time.It is worthy of note that dairy herds run-ning on puspalum grassed paddock- aremaintaining supplies admirably and indirect contrast to those grazin? on Eng-lish grasses. This fact is being amplyproved by figures shown by the Te \r..haHerd Testing Association.
