I Alter the council disposed of a couple [petitions from the labouring men and Kided upon the Canadian Bank of 'ommerce as the city's banking house, aldermen wandered off into the scussion of several matters that have obe disposed of shortly. They were niting for the city solicitor to arrive Eider to take up the by-laws that are Jrady in hand. Among the subjects 1 were that of a building in- (jtctor and a joint committee of the ire and Water, and the Streets and roperty will report on one. Another was the necessity some day of \ wharf at Seal Cove. But the really knotty question at the present time, and |he one which is uppermost in the minds il some of the aldermen is the system of luxation. Will it be on the frontage pttem all through, or will the grading ! done out of the general funds and improvements allowed to look liter themselves? The grading of the : appears to be the first and most *ntial and that work will undoubtedly le started first. But there will be a |crap before the tax system is settled. the members were present and fhe minutes of the last meeting were ead and adopted. No Employment Bureau. A petition was received from the I^abour Unions asking that no license ie granted to individual or corporation or the employment of labor, but that Ity conduct their own employment b- i and direct the men to the labour pons, A petition was received from a number 1 working men asking that the employment bureau conducted by a Mr. ffavitt be stopped.

A number of labour men were present j N one of their number suggested that ���e city establish an employment bureau N appoint an officer to take charge J'Jw is acceptable to the labor unions.

Mobley asked if a building inspector would superintend the construction alone or would he have other jobs coupled with it. Aid.

The Mayor stated that there was a practice here of substituting cheap sheet iron pipe for galvanized veanxt A building inspector should handle the duties of a plumbing inspector and he would soon spot such deficiencies as outlined above. Aid. Pattullo moved that applications for building inspector be called for and that his duties be whatever the council assign to him. Aid. Hilditch suggested that this matter be referred to the Streets an Property committee and reported upon at next meeting. Aid. Pattullo said that the Fire and Water committee should report on it. The Mayor settled the matter by suggesting that the Fire and Water, and Street and Property committees report. Aid. Lynch moved that the two named committees call for applications and report to the council. Another Wharf. Aid. Hilditch brought up the question again of the electric light plant. He said that on account of the steep grade the city would be put to great expense in hauling timber. In the next few years the city will buy millions of feet of timber for plank roads and that all has to be hauled up that grade. He suggested that the city buid a wharf at Seal Cove. The suggestion met with general approval. , Aid. Hilditch then gave his reasons for making the suggestion. He said that the population of the city would grow east. It cannot grow west. There was not room for more than 3,000 people east of the government buildings. Aid. Lynch stated ttiat Aid. Hilditch had his map upside down. There are 3000 lots west of Eleventh street still unsold. Tax System. Aid. Pattullo said he did not wish to bring up a big question now, but before this city can do anything whatever they would have to settle upon the system of doing this work, whether by frontage tax or the general basis. He was not committed to the frontage tax. He was free to act. Aid. Hilditch thought that the council should settle this tax system at once. It is all important to the city and no work can be done until it is settled. Aid Mobley believed we were getting the wagon in front of the horse in many cases. He thught the most important thing at this time was to get the bylaws passed. At present the officials being appointed have absolutely no authority. Let them get the by-laws passed first and then take up these other matters. The city solicitor arrived at this point and the council went into committee of the whole to discuss by-laws. ��������� King George V of England is '. to-day celebrating his 45th birth- x I day, and his first birthday as ��� ����� King.

To-morrow Five Aldermen Go To Woodworth Lake To Gain Information and To Prepare A Report For The Council. ALEXIA BIANCO INQUEST TWO WITNESSES EXAMINED GREAT LENGTH. AT John Mosca Tells Of Discovery Of The Body and Dr. Tremayne of Nature of Injuries Causing Death. The inquest.into the death of Alexia Bianco, who is believed to have shot herself on Monday evenirfg at her home on Third avenue, was continued laSt night before Coroner T. McMullin. W. E. Fisher, crown prosecutor, conducted the enquiry and Messrs. Williams & Manson appeared to watch the proceedings on behalf of Abele Cavallini, whose intimacy with the woman is called into question. There were only two witnesses heard last night, the man who found the body and Dr. Tremayne, who was immediately called in after the deed was discovered. The examination of these two occupied the coroner's court until ten o'clock, when Mr. Fisher asked for an adjournment. The coroner said to-day was a holiday and suggested an adjournment until Monday evening. Mr. Fisher intimated that he would not be able to get through in one evening and asked why not meet at two o'clock on Monday afternoon and sit right through the evening to, if possible, finish it. This course was agreed to. John Mosca, the first witness called, said he worked in the building where the occurrence took place and was the first to find the body of the woman. He said, through A. Astori, acting as interpreter, that the deceased, The Fire and Water committee did not get a report prepared for last night's meeting of the council on their trip to the Hays Creek dam. It was late when they got back. Mayor Stork Aid. F. H. Mobley and Aid. T. D. Pattullo visited the source of the city's water supply which is at the dam on the creek. There are three dams holding something like 300,000 gallons of water, the largest of which will hold 170,000 gallons and the other two about 65,000 gallons each. All of them are well constructed and are performing their duty satisfactorily. The fall of the three dams is in the neighborhood of 300 feet and furnishes a splendid pressure on the mains. The aldermen put on high rubber boots and tramped up the mountain side, enjoying the exercise and the scenery as they went along. They also got acquainted with that part of the city and can discuss the water question more intelligently. On their return trip they followed the pipe line and visited Acropolis hill and sized up the reservoir. It was a big afternoon's work but the aldermen feel well repaid. Going to the Lakes. Yesterday the Fire and Water committee visited the present source of the water supply. In the morning, five of them, with Engineer Agnew, will take a launch and canoes and visit the lakes from which it is proposed to get the permanent supply of water. The launch will take them to the end of Kaien Island where they will have to land and portage their canoes about half a mile across to Shawatlans lake. That lake is about one mile across and then the city fathers will climb two miles up the mountain to Woodworth lake. That is the proposed source of supply for Prince Rupert, and if the city succeeds in getting it, about which there is very little doubt, the city will have the best water supply in the world.. The lake is situated right up in the mountains and the water is as clear and pure as crystal. There is a fall between the lake and the city of 500 feet or over and thus the water will be brought in by gravitation. It is true that the first cost of laying the pipe will be considerable, but there is no pumping station to maintain or to get out of order and the pipes do not have to be put underground to protect them from frost. The system, therefore, will be a very economical one and water will be cheap. MANN IS EXPECTED. To Have An Interview With Premier McBride To-day. Ij, ������ building Chi""!''

Fernie, May 30.���The celebrated Coal Creek holdup case was concluded Saturday afternoon when the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty at 4 o'clock. W. A. Macdonald, K.C., the crown prosecutor, addressed the jury at 10 o'clock and had finished when the court was adjourned shortly before 1 o'clock. The judge's charge to the jury commenced at 2 o'clock and lasted half an hour, when the jury retired. They were out about an hour when they brought in the above verdict. There was a clapping of hands when the verdict was announced, which was quickly suppressed by the court officials. The prisoners were at once released on the application of their counsel, W. R. Ross, K. C, and received the congratulations of their friends. The two Belangers who turned King's evidence will probably come up for sentence today. Engineer Clements presented a blue print of the proposed site for the city's electric light plant and wharf on the water front. He pointed out- the difficulties that may be experienced in securing an approach suitable for heavy traffic on account of a couple of overhead bridges to be constructed by the G. T. P. The aldermen went into that phase of the matter and an effort w 111 be made to overcome the obstacles. The engineer also drew attention to the fact that the city had only 200 feet frontage.and they might just as well get 400 feet as it will be needed and wil be more easily secured now than later. The aldermen will also take this matter up and will probably visit the proposed site with the enginher. Engineer Clements is to prepare a sketch for 400 feet at once. WEEK'S SAILINGS. From the South.

Ottawa, May 28. ��� Considerable comment has been caused in the civil service by the refusal of an officer of one of the departments to take the oath of allegiance to King George V. It seems that when the other employees presented themselves this one abstained from going to the room where the clerk of the privy council was administering the oath. The remedy will be in his salary being stopped by the auditor- general. The reason assigned is that the clerk took the stand that the oath is similar to the coronation oath in its reference to Roman Catholics, which is not at all the case. Geo. B. Howard Co. "Father and the Boys" will be the opening comedy of the Howard Company Monday night. Briefly the story tells of the Morewoods whi have a brokerage office in New York which by the way of the tastes of the sons is half a tea parlor and half a gymnasium. Morewood pater wants his sons to settle down and marry the girls of his choice. They want him to "settle up", occassi- only for them and to enter a little more actively into the social arena. On the advice of the family lawyer, and with the assistance of a breezy Western girl, he does so, to the astonishment and consternation of nearly every one of them. All ends happily. Gifted with a face from whose expression springs the very spirit of drollery, and a manner of saying witty and humorous things that makes them take on a double amount of fun for his hearers, it is little wonder that Mr. Howard has achieved the satisfactory reputation which he now enjoys.

R. Heike, secretary - treasurer of the American Sugar Refining company, who, with five subordinates, is charged with com- spiracy to defraud the government in underweight of sugar imports. Spitzer, as superintendent of the company's Williamsburg (Brooklyn) docks, got two years for his participation in the frauds, but he was quietly pardoned by the president last Thursday after sev- ving only three months and having made full confession. From now on he will aid the government in its attempt to convict his former assbciates. Sptizer's story on the stand today did not directly connect Heike with frauds, but his confession resulted in one new arrest tonight. James O. Brezezinski, formerly an employee of the treasury department and now a private detective, was locked in the Tombs charged with perjury. Spitzer confessed that he attempted to bribe Brezezinski to conceal the frauds and the latter is alleged to have denied this before a federal grand jury. Spitzer told an amazing story on the stand today under direct examination and hurried from the court to the federal grand jury room. This led to the rumor that his full confession would result in another batch of indictments. He was not cross-examined because of the peculiar situation created by his sudden appearance as a government witness. Two of the defence's lawyers had previously appeared for Spitzer when he was defendant and for ethical reasons could not now examine him. The court ruled that they must agree on some one to examine him on Wednesday. No Promise of Pardon. No promise of pardon brought about Spitzer's confession, say the federal authorities. His conscience merely hurt him, but realizing the importance of his testimony and the legal obstacles likely to bar it were he a convict action was taken to restore him to citizenship. When convicted last February Spitzer declared the sugar trust had made him the scapegoat. "It hounded and ruined me after I had served faithfully for twenty-nine years," he said then. Today he told how, for years, he had assisted in the alleged frauds. Empress Theatre 4 NIGHTS S JUNE i Geo. B.

The next morning he called the woman and she did not respond. After calling twice he secured a ladder a,nd look through her room window. He saw her reclining on the bed. Witness than described his discovery that the woman was dead and the pos> tion of the body. There was leaning against her a double barrelled shot gun with a can opener attached to the trigger. On the left of the neck was a gaping wound. The room was not disarranged. He said several men were sleeping in the building that night, among them a man named Bigheo, and a brother of Abele Cavallini. He did not know if they had heard anything unusual during the night. He himself had been awakened by a rumbling sound, but had thought it was the scavengers and had gone to sleep again. He knew Frank Martin and Abele Cavallini. They were much together and came to the place often. He did not know what Cavallini did for a living and had never known him to work i.t The Fire and Water committee did not get a report prepared for last night's meeting of the council on their trip to the Hays Creek dam. It was late when they got back. Mayor Stork Aid. F. H. Mobley and Aid. T. D. Pattullo visited the source of the city's water supply which is at the dam on the creek. There are three dams holding something like 300,000 gallons of water, the largest of which will hold 170,000 gallons and the other two about 65,000 gallons each. All of them are well constructed and are performing their duty satisfactorily. The fall of the three dams is in the neighborhood of 300 feet and furnishes a splendid pressure on the mains. The aldermen put on high rubber boots and tramped up the mountain side, enjoying the exercise and the scenery as they went along. They also got acquainted with that part of the city and can discuss the water question more intelligently. On their return trip they followed the pipe line and visited Acropolis hill and sized up the reservoir. It was a big afternoon's work but the aldermen feel well repaid. Going to the Lakes. Yesterday the Fire and Water committee visited the present source of the water supply. In the morning, five of them, with Engineer Agnew, will take a launch and canoes and visit the lakes from which it is proposed to get the permanent supply of water. The launch will take them to the end of Kaien Island where they will have to land and portage their canoes about half a mile across to Shawatlans lake. That lake is about one mile across and then the city fathers will climb two miles up the mountain to Woodworth lake. That is the proposed source of supply for Prince Rupert, and if the city succeeds in getting it, about which there is very little doubt, the city will have the best water supply in the world.. The lake is situated right up in the mountains and the water is as clear and pure as crystal. There is a fall between the lake and the city of 500 feet or over and thus the water will be brought in by gravitation. It is true that the first cost of laying the pipe will be considerable, but there is no pumping station to maintain or to get out of order and the pipes do not have to be put underground to protect them from frost. The system, therefore, will be a very economical one and water will be cheap. MANN IS EXPECTED. To Have An Interview With Premier McBride To-day. (Special to the Optimist.) Vancouver, June 3.���D. D.

D Centr<= Street eacon Open Evenings IN ON GROUND FLOOR. Frank Hanley Bonds Six Claimson Portland Canal. Frank Hanley, old time telegraph and mining operator of Dawson, for recent years manager of the Irving hotel of Vancouver, came up on the Princess Beatrice eleven days ago on his way to Stewart to "get in on the ground floor". It was expected that Frank's investment would be in the hostelry line, but he returned last night on the St. Denis enthusiastic in regard to six claims that he had been lucky enough to obtain a bond on. "The hotel propos- tion looked good enough to me," he said last night, "until I tumbled across something much better." Frank then produced a sack of rock and started to talk of each individual piece and the values it was believed to represent. It is a highly mineralized quartz of the same general character as the lead the Portland Mining company is now developing and which has been assaying so high. The group of six claims he has secured are situated six miles from Stewart, directly opposite to the Portland mines and about a mile below the International group. The samples he carries are mere croppings and as is the case with all the Portland Canal mines, there is a general confidence that the rock will improve and the values increase with depth. Mr. Hanley is associated with Vancouver and Chicago capitalists in his venture. He says he left the owners of the property going ahead opening up the claims and as soon as he reaches Vancouver a competent mining engineer will be sent up to expert the property. Upon his report a company will be formed to develop and operate the property, which Frank is confident wili prove to be one of the best in the Portland Canal country. Old timers from Yukon with quartz experience are favourably impressed with Frank's samples, and talk of grubstaking two or three parties from here to go to Stewart and try to get something just as good. Police Court. P. C. Calkins arrested Abele Cavallini on a warrant last night immediately after the inquest into the death of Mrs. Alexia Bianco.
