Tne accused wan committed to -land his trial and will be held pending the Assizes. The Btory of the captuiu ol Kida reflects great credit 011 Dave Calder and .). Rutherford,C. 1'. K. engineer and liien.an, wbo captured Kida and brought him into the city. Coming down the line with a light, engine Calder noticed the ties on the track ahead and stopped his engiue to remove the obstruction. ThiB being done he rellected that as a freight train waB only 25 minutes ahead of him the offender must be somewhere in the vicinity of the offence. Search was instituted but without discovery of the culprit and reluctantly but slowly tbe trip into town was resumed, Calder in the meantime keeping a sharp lookout for hia human queBt. After running a few yards a man was discerned crowi'ing from one bush to another to seek biding, and stopping his iron horse Calder ran out ami accused him of the deed. This was admitted by Kida aud he was, alter buiuc resistance put on board the engine aud brought iuto the city- Here he was turned over by Calder to the Provincial police after consultation witli the local C.

Interesting Argument in Tony ||™ n-m °'c^k wheu Mr.Biaok- stock told the girl he had finished with her lor the evening, The sittings of the Court of KeviB-j , m , ion tu hear reaBuns why the names ol certain voters should not be stricken START WORK ON NEW BANK (rom the listB ut the distriel which i was held on Monday were not pro longed, there being only one case in which lengthy argument whb resurted to As a result uf the hearing all but twenty-three ol the two hundred antl ten names advertised as being ubjected tu were eliminated from the voters' list. Tho '.'.li established their right tu vote in the cunstituoncy and consequently their names stand. The contested case was that of Tony Long, the argument turning on a question as tu whothcr in Canada a peistui has a legal right tu change his name. The cuntention ul Mr. Lung's tiiuinsel was that ill Canada a man muy call himself by any name he pleases As lhe case was unique in the lucal cuurts it was relerred to the ullice ul the. Attorney-Genera] Iur a ruling ou the question abuvu staled | During the argument uf tho qutis- tiun and incidentally some interesting statements wore made as to the courtly method ol procedure in this country. Many will recall tho caao of the late Amor Dc Cosmos, ol Victoria, wbo paid a large sum to have legislative sanction for thu change of hia cognomen. It was ox plained that this was to give tho necessary legal individuality to lho name so that Mr. Do Cusmos might be addressed iu a business or social way by no uther. It wuuld appear .Inducible thorofure trum the abuvu that, withuut legal ur parliamentary saiiotiun iu the case ul a voluntary change ut name any man may still bu addressed personally iliruiigh the mails, in summons ni cuurt or other legal documents, bank drafts and the liko by his former designation. As the changing ol unu's iigine is nut a Oom mon practice, the ruliug uf the Attorney General's ullice was untight and in case this should gu against Mr. Lung, there may still be appeal to higher oourts. Montreal Contractor Arrives to Build for Molsons Tho work of erecting the new building fur tho Molauus Rank in to he begun at once hy Contractor Byers, whu arrived hero Monday night Irum Mie,Inal. The new building will uocupy the samu lot as the present premises, on tbo eurner ol McKensie avenue anil Kirst street and the present structure will be removed to the lot owned by A. Cowie, somewhat farther east, on First street. The plans lor the now building have nul yet buon exhibited nnr lata the OontrttOt price been locally announced, bul particulars will be liiriiished in a few days nn tho return ol Mr. Dyers from Vernon, whero he haa a contract lor another building, In cuiiiiectiun witb the erection ol the new bank here by outside parties there is considerable fouling aiming lucal contractors who claim thoy havo a grievance ruapu ting the manner in which their tenders were treated. Their statement is that originally plans lm a molt expensive and nuig- ni.ieout building were sunt weat frum Montreal tu obtain tenders un the work ol construction. As tlieir plans called for material not in common use in British Columbia structures, considerable expense had to be nogu- tiated before tho cost nl such material cuuld be learned and trips to Heattlo and Calgary were necessitated. Their rocilcl continues lhat when tho tenders were sent tu the head office at ADMITS HER FALSEHOODS Florence Kinrade Now Denys Former Testimony Says Stories of Concerts Untrue. Little Progress Made. Hamilton, Out., May 1 —Mrs. Kinrade was the lirst witness called laat night alter the coroner bad refused the request of the family's legal representative that lho remainder uf the evidence Le taken iu camera. Coroner Anderson reminded Mra. Kiuradc that bIio had disohoyod a furmor summons tn attend, and that if she were a man he wuuld have lined her. Mrs. Kinrade cuuld not remember what the girls were talking abuut when she left thu huuse, but they were bulb dressed lur the street, wi'.h the exceptiun of their furs. Florence Kinrade was tben called. After a few questions Mr. Hebaou objected tbat she was being held to repeat evidence sbe had already given, in violation of the judgment of tbe court. Mr. Blackstock agreed with this and asked a series ol questions regarding a bracelet. Florence said it hud been presented to her by the Manchester church choir. The tendency ol the questions was that the bracelet had never been presented, She was hazy in her recollection of the event, She cuuld not remember anyone whu was proBeut, except that the presentation had been made hy the leader of the cbuir. She did not know the clergyman's name, how many Sundays she sang iu the church, nor the house, nor the name uf the street she lived in, or whether it waa iu Manchester or Richmond. She denied that when she went to Virginia Beach Bbe was in trouble ol any kind, but admitted that she was very home sick. At the evening session Mr. Black- stock finally drew from the girl the admission that the reports ot Bocials and concerts she had attended in the south and in Ontario were all false. One relerred to a social given at Norway in her honor. The lady reported as having given it repudiated il. Mr. BlackBtock produced a letter written by Florence from Norfolk, tu her parents, iu which she spuke of the reception about to take place. Other letters written home relerred to the church where she was singing in Manchester, its SLrpliced choir, etc., all of which the girl admitted as false. The ruports ol her concerta at Kincardine, Goderioh aud Stratford were fiotitious, Miss Elliott, she said, had brought ber to Hamilton. Thia prompted Mr BlackBtock to remind her lhat sbe had never belore mentioned Miss Elliott as haviug been in Hamilton, and Florence explained tbat she was there once her parents were away.

A striking evident e of thii awakening was given in Vancouver last week hy Mr. A. .1. Dawson, editor ul lhu "Standard of Empire," a British newspaper founded to comprehensively deal with affairs of empire. Mr. I la wson Btated lhat ''since its inception a year ago the "Standard" has published over a million words about Canada alone, not one of which has been fruitless. He mentioned alsu that two Scottish and two other English papers had followed the path of the "Kui- 1 >ire" and are now its rivals in the publication of Canadian news antl the increase of circulation in Canada. Continuing, with the clear visiun of lhe seer Mr. Dawson says: •'1 ask you to consider just what ihis means for Canada, and for greater Britain generally; the widespread publicity that it means; the widespread tendency to the establishment and extension of mutual understanding; that mutual understanding which we are agreed is at the Imsis ui nil enduring forms uf unity, politically, commercially, and in evi ry other wny. This is what 1 call education by wholesale.1' "Establishment and extension of mutual understanding," nre the hot words in Mr. Dawson's eloquent phrasing. The masses in llritain and Canada nre as ignorant of each other's Bocial instincts, political life, industrial activities and a thousand other things that would bind them closer did Ihey hut understand n- tin- people ut alien countries and Canadians for the must part are ignorant even uf the geography of the Matherland few being aide tu tell,offhand, the relative geographical positions ni lhe United Kingdom, while fewer ICng- lishmen still have anj dream of the same things respecting Canada. Moreoverthel oiled Kingdom,with it.- history and it- traditions; its established channels of trade and commerce and its method, oi industrial life is a kingdom in itselt. lt has built up and established tiles.- nt ihe cosl of hundreds ol years of experience.

An element of mystery overhangs nearly all oi the tragedies and even when suspects or actually guilty parties are apprehended the sufficient motive f..r the taking of a human life—is difficult if not impossible ot discov ery. Epidemics ul such crimes are uol rare. They pervade states, communities and cities lifting a- uddenly as thej strike, the puzzh of all psychologists, Suggestion one is imi a sufficient explanation, and a modern Sherlock Homes to leal wilh ih" psychological law thai underlies these loctlized pasms rn" human depravity is more iue. .-Miry than one to unravel the mysteries of an individual ease. While in Canada justice is swifl where iiiiii is proved and the wholesome deterrence nf law must be admitted the moral—or immoral —lesson in be learned seems to lie in a study of the Btrenuous efforts that are made by counsel for the defence to shield from justice those concerning whose f_,uilt there can be little tluubt from lhe the lirst. Such tactics as keeping out of court important witnesses who have been served with coroner's warrants by menu- of habeas corpus proceedings strike the layman as attempts tu defeat the ends of justice. If witnesses are in possession of evidence which would assist the crown in arriving at the facts and the jury ;it n verdict there would seem —to the lay mind—no reason why they should hesitate to tell all they know. When they are restrained from doing so by the advice and assistance ut" counsel there cannot hut grow up in the festering minds of perverts who contemplate crime a comfortable anticipation that clever counsel can disguise and evade justice. We ijn not believe as is uften suggested, that money enn bribe leading legal talent tu du this. The explanation would seem to lie in the sense of satisfaction that arises from auccessa in attempting something clever and especially outwitting clever opposing counsel, lu the end however, we believe the effects of such clever work tu he baneful ninl to sou), extent responsible for the spread of n morbid desire lo kill.

At the annual dinner ol the law faculty ul McGill University in Montreal lust week, a unique feature was that the chief speech was delivered by Peter Huig, 'he Chinaman who beat al! his riiuls at the examinations a year ago, nnd may du s again this year. The toast to "the best little yellow devil that ever cume to tuwn" was by far the most popular of the eveuiug. Dealing with the awakening oi China to the civilization ui the West, and what Canada did to drive the Chinese student to other countries he said in part — " China is awakening. She realizes what a nation should possess in order to be called a power iu the twentieth century. She realizes the value ot adopting a modern commercial policy, the introduction ol better cummuui- cution and transportation, the development of her industries, and the establishing of a betier form of government aud judicial system, in urder that she may he recognized to be a member uf ihe international circle. Tu bring abuut ihese changes, she found that her old library system of education wn. noi suitable, and by an Imperial edict in 1901, the old edu- prejutlice ie hardly nuticeuble among the educated class, which reasons according to sound principles. * * * China has abolished her closed duor policy and is now trading with all the nations of the world.

Winnipeg, May 5.—Approximately $85,000,000 will he spent by railroads in actual construction in Western Oanada during 1909, according to statements made by head ollicials oil the various companies. Thecunstruc- tiun campaign laid uut by the Canadian I'acilic is the most costly and calls for Lhe expenditure ol uver $20,000,000. JaraesJ.Hill will spend $15,000,000 uu the Great Northern und subsidiary companies in Western Oanada, together making a futirth trunk system iteruss the prairies westward frum tllie city. The Canadian Northern intends to spend some $11,000,000, pari ul which will be for the extension Of its main line towards the i'acilic Coast. A like amount will be spent by the Grand Trunk I'acilic un its main line between Winnipeg nnd the 1'ncilic Ocean, but the bulk of the money used by this cumpany during lllOll will he un its brunch lines. This year Melville, Saskatchewan, the headquarters ul the Grand Trunk I'acilic in Western Canada, appearB tu be tlio must Favored tuwn, fur the company has aniuiunced that at least three bianobes will be built Irom there this year. One will run northwesterly to Prince Albert, another northeasterly to tbe Hudson's Bay, while a third will run tu the American boundary, passing through llegiua en roule. These three linee will bo the most important ever built in Western Canada, as far as American farmers an hnmeseekei's are concerned, for they | will give direct access to rich mineral deposits aud the famous Pence Rivei valley north uf Prince Albert, while the uther northerly lino will give direct communication tu Hudson's Buy and the short wheal rutile to Europe. The remainder of the $86,OUO,000 will easily be expended by the almus innumerable cumpimies chartered to build lines in all directiune, cuveriug Western Canada with a net wurk uf railroads like a spider's web. The unly cloud un tbe horizon is a pruspect ut a shortage of labor, but it is said this will not-be very serious owing to the large immigration now promised frum ull quarters ol the glube.

They will be influential leaders of the country, and no doubt these Western graduates will he deeply interested iu the future international relations between China and other cuuntries ol the wurld. Nuw, let ue set what encouragement the Canadian Government gives to the Chinese Btudents. I refer you to Lhe Chinese Immigration Act. Prior to 1904 a Chinese student could come to Oanada without mucb difficulty, In that year the bend tax upon Chinese was raised frum $100 In $600 Under thai act a student upon Ins entry into Canada lm<l todeposit $600 and after having attended certain schuulo a year is entitled tu a refund of lhe $600, The Canadian Partisan nt bus pKSBed many wise acts as the Lemieux Act, and the act to prohibit importation iiianu'acture anil Bale ol upiiini, but in adopting such rigorous measures against the Chinese students it is not very complimentary, Idmi'tsay that the action ul the Government is wlmlly unjustified, but I du sny that it is a wiser pulicy to enonurtiKe the students to cume tu Canada instead ol discouraging them. Suppose ii Chinese student desires to euiiie to McGill ur any oi uur sister universities. 1 don't think that he would subject himself to tbe indignity ol depositing $600 and then ask fnr a refund later. He wuuld rather gu In the States or tu Great Britain where he is admitted Ire ly. * * * * I know that there um unfortunate difficulties between tbe Canadians and the Oblneae, li is because we do not •ludcritaiid each uther.
