NO. 07 POLICE STAND GUARD TO ENFORCE MAYOR'S RULING System of Holding Free and Easy "Wawas" in Connection with all Natters Affecting City Under Guise of Full and Free Discussion has Objectionable Features in Addition to Delaying Transaction of Public Business. ■ The meetings of the city council still continue to form the chief attraction in the evenings. Following the programme of last night, when the police were called in to enforce the ruling of the chair, it is highly probable that the attendance will be still larger at subsequent meetings. The police were asked to be present as a result of the refusal of the superintendent of public works, 'Air. McNeill, to desist from interrupting members of the council when asked to do so. Aid. Clayton insisted that order be maintained, and suggested an appeal to the police station which the mayor acted upon. The episode arose in connection with a discussion of the proposal to do away with the superintendent's office, Mr. McNeill being given a chance to be heard. The office is to be done away with. Considered Report With the return of the city engineer, the consideration of clause 11 of the report of the public works committee was re-considered. This clause dealt with the doing away of the office of superintendent of public works. Aid. Clayton said if the intention was to place all the work under the engineer's department he was in favor of this. He was not in favor of it if the intention was simply to replace Mr. McNeill by another officer. Aid. Morrlssey said he agreed with this. Aid. Maitland thought that the superintendent of public works should get fair play. The chairman of the public works committee had charged tlie superintendent with padding the pay bills. Aid. Morrissey objected to this. Me said there was no such accusation, Superintendent's Voice Superintendent McNeill broke in with a statement that there was, and a very free discussion followed, the mayor demanding that they maintain order. Aid. Maitland wanted to know why Aid. Morrissey did not find out a lot of this last year when he was a member of the committee. Instead the council raisea the salary of the superintendent. Aid. Morrissey objected to this as being out of order. He was not there to be a target for these people. Aid. Maitland thought it very unfair to dismiss Mr. McNeill with a black eye such as it was proposed to do. Aid. Kerr felt that Mr. McNeill might well be kept on. There was a necessity for him. The engineer's staff was being cut down, and a purchasing agent might be employed. Aid. Bullock-Webster was in accord with dispensing with the office from the standpoint of economy. Mr. McNeill's Defence Superintendent McNeill was given a hearing. He said all he asked for was fair play. It had not been given him by x\ld. Morrissey. The mayor said that he would insist upon Mr. McNeill observing some ruies. He objected to his levelling remarks against any member of the board. Mr. McNeill said he was a ratepay er, and would be heard. Me would meet the charges of Aid. Morrissey against himself anil the public worksj board of last year. Engineer's Charges Mr. McNeill said he knew he was singled out to be the goat. He was going to meet the charges brought by the engineering department. Aid. Montgomery did not believe there were any charges against Mr. .McNeill. Aid. Morrissey said he would be ready to introduce a resolution! clearing Mr. McNeill of all wrong. Mr. McNeill said that he wanted, the charges made by the engineering department cleared up. Aid. Clayton said that he want-1 ed to see decorum maintained at' the council board, otherwise he, would insist upon the mayor callin the police and clearing the room. Mr. McNeill said he would notj take the job again for $100 mon a month—to be dictated to by hal a dozen aldermen, and to be me by men on the streets looking foi work that he could not give. Further warm words followed when the mayor called upon Mr. Mci Neill to sit down. Mr. McNeill ceased talking, bu refused to sit down. Calls Police The mayor then acting upon Hi- initiative of Aid. Clayton, 'phom the police station, and soon "tv? members of the force appeared Officers Adams and Hamblin. While the mayor was 'phoning on motion of Aid.

Coovert who Arrived Today is Believed to Represent Large Interests Which Seek to Find Out Exactly What there is to Offer ' in Petroleum Fields on the West Coast of Queen Charlotte Group. There arrived in the city yesterday by ihe Prince Rupert Mr. Coovert, who is on his way to Mas- set. He will proceed to the west roast of Graham Island from Mas- mi for the purpose of investigating the oil fields there located. Mr. Coovert is said to represent very important interests, and his visit is accordingly of great importance. He is not advertising his visit, but is believed to have in view a very important mission. The character of the country on the west coast of the island has been described by all experts who have inspected It as being essentially indicative of oil. There is work now going on under the B. C. Oilfields, a company controlled in Vancouver. Drilling is going on, and with the completion of the work there something definite will be forthcoming upon which to base a practical Opinion. There are also several syndicates holding claims there. Mr. Coovert will give attention to the work going on there, and make a careful investgiatlon into the whole situation. The interests which lie is said to represent are among Hie largest in the Dominoln of Canada, and the diversion of their attention to tlie oil fields so close to Prince Rupert Is another indication that tlie areas are giving excellent promise. These parties have very varied interests in northern British Columbia, as well as elsewhere in the province. The holding of a source of cheap fuel such as oil affords would mean very much to the company reported to be concerned. Much interest will attach to the report of Mr. Coovert.

The recommendation was opposed by Aid. Montgomery, Me said that he did not believe Hie work could be better carried out than at present. Me called attention to what he described as a dangerous move, as every man had his price. Me included himself.

AN Oil- CENTRE This coming summer it is altogether like y that the exact worth of the oil fields on the west coast of Graham Island will be tested. If there is oil found in paying quantities, the prospects are thai the development there will be tremendous. If reports be true there are capitalists of national reputation now looking into the prospects there. If the result of the investigations are favorable, the means is readily available with tlie sanction of these interests to fully exploit Hie whole area. If fuel oil is found in tlie location the effects upon Prince Rupert will be most striking. Close as it is to the fields the benefits will all flow- to this port. It will mean cheap fuel for this city, with the consequent results which are impossible to estimate in these days of keen competition in an industrial sense. Prince Rupert is the natural base of supplies for all the development work that will be carired out in that pari of the island, and will reap corresponding benefits from the building up of the islands.

In this country the general idea seems to be that any increase of German armaments would be on Hie naval side, the German army being already In the same position of supremacy as the British navy, says Hie Glasgow News. The truth is, there is reason for supposing the German army to have deteriorated considerably of late years, as a result, largely of the attempt to run a first-class navy and a first-class army together—-an at- tempt in which no nation has ever yet succeeded. Ii has, besides, been recently pointed out by .Mr. Hilaire Belloc, that France has now more trained men at her command than Germany. So that there need not be great surprise over the statement of Hie "Tageblatt" mat the German government has decided not lo present a new naval programme to the Reichstag, hut to propose increasing the army by IS infantry battalions and a considerable number of Machine- gun companies. It would be rash, of course, to accepl that stnieinent as conclusive, but it may at least lu- iliu-e us in await more certain Information before allowing ourselves to lie alarmed by rumors of German naval expansion In 1912.

L..................J Thursday, February 8, 1912 PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL SPOR TS BILLY DELANEV'S DEATH Billy Delaney, the famous trainer of prizefighters, who died in Oakland, cal., aged 58 years, had been ill for several months, and his death was not unexpected. While on a visit to the east last year he contracted a severe cold, complications of which caused his death. Billy Delaney held a prominent position in pugilistic circles for two decades. He was recognized as the best trainer and greatest Judge of fighters in America. During his professional career lie handled at different times Jack Johnson, .lames J, Jeffries, .lames .1. Corbett, Joe Choynski, Al Kaufman, Jimmy Brltt, and lesser lights of the prize ring. Delaney discovered Jim Corbett, then a bank runner in San Francisco. He piloted "Gentleman Jim" to the heavyweight championship when the latter defeated John L. Sullivan at New Orleans September 17, 1892. When Corbet began to show signs of a reversal of form Delaney took up Jim Jeffries and forged a champion out of the rawest material that ever entered a prize ring. He trained Jeffries when the latter knocked out Fitzsinimons at Coney Island, and conditioned him in his two victorious battles with Jim Corbett. After leaving Jeffries, Delaney declared the boilorinaker lacked heart. He said that he prevented Jeffries from quitting in several fights. He, IiowovVt, remained on good terms witli Jeffries until the former champion repudiated a match Delaney made with Bill Squires In Australia. Delaney said Jeffries had authorized him to make the match. Under the management of Delaney Al Kaufman made rapid strides, but the noted trainer accepted the offer to train Jack Johnson in the latter's fight with Jeffries on July 4, 1910. The sight of Delaney in the negro's corner is believed to have taken the heart completely out of Jeffries when he entered the ring at Reno. When asked why he deserted Jeffries, lie said: "1 quit Jeffries for welching on a gambling debt and running out of the Squire's match. I could not conscientiously have any further dealings with Jeffries." Delaney's failure to make a champion of Al Kaufman soured him on the game. lie practically retired last summer when he was in New York for the last time, lie then said he was going to lake it easy for the rest of his life. He was born in New York. Delaney had a comfortable home at Oakland, Cal., and was a man of means and standing in tlie community, He leaves a widow and two sisters. The latter live in New York State. Delaney was inseparably associated with the history of amateur and professional boxing in tlie west, lie was a pioneer In vigorous training methods, enforcing rigid discipline and much outdoor work, to which lie ascribed his success. Delaney was a boxer of note, as well as trainer, and a lew years ago acted as sparring partner to his men. While he was thoroughly familiar with every aspect of the sport, defending it staunchly and advancing its interests in every possible way, Delaney was not heavily interested financially, and rarely made large bets. ROYAL SPORTSMEN King George is considered one of tlie three best shots in all England. As an all-around shot lie is said to be the peer of any of his subjects, and his hunting records have been made in all pans of the world. Tlie tiger hunt in the Nepal Jungle was the clowning achievement of his career as a sportsman, and tlie splendid photographs which have been senl out of India Bhow that the reports of the King's prowess as a hunter of the tiger were nol exaggerated, in die Nepal limit, thirty-four tigers were bagged, ami of this number twenty-four was lulled by the King. During that Uuul King George is said to have brought down a tiger and a bear witli the right and left barrels of his rifle. Al. Lord Lathi-oni's historic shoot in 1894 eight guns brought down 2,100 head of game between 0 a. m. and 4 p. in. the second day, and at the shoot King George's record was the best. He was then Prince of Wales. AI this shoot King George used three guns, and It is said that on several occasions there were four birds in the air falling together, all of them having been killed by the royal hunter. King George was a member of the duck shooting party In Cumberland that brought down nearly ;i,r>i>0 ducks in three days, and again he was the best shot among the nine sportsmen who took part in that hunt. On the first day the party brought down 1,141, the second day 1,184 and on the third day 1,150 ducks. At Lake Manitoba in Canada he was of the party that bagged 742 ducks and 70 snipe in a day and a half's shooting. Once during a week's stalk at Balmoral he killed thirteen of the twenty-two stags that were shot. Once King George measured his skill with that of his uncle, the Emperor of Germany. It was a winds- day, the light was not good, and the birds were strong on the wing. The monarchs made fifty-four shots. The Kaiser missed seven and King George missed one shot. "Few men keep such a clear eye and steady, cool nerve after the age of 40, as His Majesty has done," a member of one iving George s hunting party said recently. BAYLEY'S SUCCESS Joe Bayley, the Victoria lightweight, knocked out Billy Decour- scy in fifteen rounds at Saskatoon the other night. It was a fairly even battle for five rounds when the coast lightweight put over some heavy punches and had Decoursey in distress the remainder of the distance. In the fifteenth round Bayley opened up fast and floored Decoursey and he was carried' to his corner. Bayley will engage in a fight at Edmonton next week and ' will afterwards go south to San Francisco, where he expects to arrange a match with "One Round" Hogan. Jimmy Coffroth has promised to promote the match. SHIM ISB'S SHOWING That Alfred Shrubb, holder of the world's record for two miles, is still to be reckoned in the field of professional athletes, was demonstrated last week in Watertown, N.Y. In a match race with Hill Queal, the American professional champion, the great English runner covered ten miles in 49 minutes 9 2-5 seconds, breaking the world's record of 51 minutes and 55 seconds. The race ended in a terrific sprint, in which Queal succeeded in recovering a quarter of a lap, but Shrubb managed to finish three-quarters of a lap to the good. Shrubb's showing is considered remarkable. A year ago he was crippled and thought to be out of the running game for good. Some of his performances were miserable. He has more recently been training the Harvard long distance runners. No one has ever been able to equal Shrubb's record of 9 minutes 9 3-5 seconds for two miles, established when he was an amateur. A FUTURE RECORD A mile in 1:40 is the prediction of George Dietrich, secretary of the Grand Circuit. "Some will say 1 am crazy to make such a predict ion*" said Dietrich, "but I firmly believe that ultimately a harness horse will trot a mile in 1:40. "Horsemen have felt that each new world's record would stand forever. The first horse to beat 2.30 was Lady Suffolk, 2:29 1-2, in 1856. Horsemen of that (lay said the feat would never be accomplished again. Within twelve years Dexter cut down the mark to 2:17 1-4, and six years later Goldsmith Maid went in 2:11. Two years after Goldsmith Maid trot ted her, at that time, sensational mile. Rarus set a mark of 2:13 1-4, which was lowered to 2:11 1-4 by St. Julian before another two years had passed. All of these miles were driven in a high wheel sulky. "Then came the bike sulky, and through various stages down Through Sunol, Nancy Hanks, Alix, Lou Dillon and Uhlan, the record has been reduced to 1:58 3-4, in the open. Lou Dillon's mark of 1 :5S 1-2 was made with the aid of a wind shield. "Ten years ago there was n Bptl'lt- ed controversy as to whether a horse would ever reach the two-minute marl;. it would- be as foolish now lor a man to say that 1:57 3-4 will never lie beaten as il was in 1867 when Roberl Bonner said Dexter's record ol 2: 17 1-1 would stand as ;i world's record for all time. "Httdd Doble, who drove Dexter that mile, predicted tlie two-minute trotter and was ridiculed. "Of course there is certain to be a limit as we now look at the speed oi horses, but that limit has not been reached by far. Uhlan trotted half mile last year in ;56 1-4. That means, under favorable conditions, he can trot a mile in 1:56, or a shade better, and Uhlan is now no more the acme of perfection in the trotting horse than Dexter was years ago. "Of course the more the record It reduced the harded it will be to elf. it a quarter of a second, but it will be done. I have known harness horses to pull a sulky as fast for an eighth of a mile as the best runners can run, which Is close to 12:3-4. OUR BEST LEADER Rexall Glycerine Soap 15c the Cake. You will come back for more REMEMBER THE GUARANTEE C.H.

' Parts of the United States Agents Throughout the World 'A H. P. WILSON, Manager Prince Rupert Branch CWHKHWHKHMHWKHKHKHKBKHKHKHIW^ FURTHER REFORMS Postmaster General is in Favor of Reducing the Cable Rates Below Present Cut. Question of 1'arcel Post And Rural Mail Delivery Also Require Attention, He Says Hon. -Mr. Pelletier made an interesting statement in the House of Commons a few days ago with regard to parcels post and to cable rates. He foreshadowed a measure of extension of the parcels post, while careful to say that the expansion can hardly be as extensive as that asked for by numerous members of parliament. He was careful also to say that the extension of rural free delivery must go on, and that of the two reforms he prefers the rural free delivery. With regard to cable rates, he was more emphatic. He agreed that recent reductions In cable rates had been absolutely inadequate. The government, he said, should not be content to sit quiet and wait. The cable companies must understand that Canada intends to trade with Great Britain and one way of procuring trade communication is procuring cheap cable rates. Canada is a self-governing colony, but it Is also part of a great empire and must share cheap communication with the rest of the countries. He referred to charges that the cable companies are monopolies and are subject to American capitalists. It was the duty of the country to do something with regard to this state of affairs. "We are not satisfied with the present rates, and expect better." He favored the principle of parcels post, but pointed out that there are great difficulties. Apart from such questions as enormous size, great distances and the sparse population of Canada, there were numerous technical difficulties, such as the increased number of mail cars which would be needed, the rates which the railways might charge, alterations in size of the mail bags and fittings, etc. He believed, however, in making improvements, and suggested that he might find means to make the express companies reduce their rates. o THE POLICE STAND GUARD (Continued From Page One) Bullock-Webster, the action of the mayor was endorsed. Quid Restored Quiet having been produced before the police appeared, the proceedings went on. Aid. Dybhavn said that it was not the intention to dismiss Mr. McNeill without expressing satisfaction with his work. A purchasing agent was -to be employed also. Aid. Morrlssey said that he was not moving personally against Mr. McNeill. It was a move in the interests of economy. Aid. .Maitland asked why Aid. Morrissey did not say what he was saying now a week ago when he said the streets were not kept cleaned up. He explained what bad passed with respect to the engineer's statements. Fresh Outbreak Mr, McNeill said that lie would not continue in office under the present public works committee. Aid. Morrissey asked II Mr Nelll would please resign. Mr, McNeill said be would now. Objection was taken by Aid. Clayton to Aid. Morrissey addressing Mr, McNeill without addressing tlie chair in once. While ihis was proceeding, the mayoi was again calling Mr. McNeill down, the summons to deslsl being obeyed. The mayor, however, called a police officer m lake his place close to the chair with the admonition, "Will you stop here and Ihe first mi'ii who coes contrary to my ruling will you 'nab' 11iin and put him outside." With a police officer on either side of the table, the proceedings were continued. Aid. .Montgomery thought it was Mi nol quite evident that the public works department needed alterations.- Aid. Morrlssey expressed a readiness to resign. Aid. Kerr moved towards the retaining of the office of superintendent of public works. Aid. Clayton moved in amendment that the office be dispensed with and that the office be dispensed with and the public works be placed under the engineer's department. The latter amendment carried. A motion was moved by Aid. Morrissey that the council recognized the efficient and faithful services rendered by Mr. McNeill, and that the only reason for the doing away with the office was in the interests of economy. The motion carried unanimously. COAL PROPERTIES Alex Faulds is on His Way to Inspect Property Being Opened Under His Guidance. I). It. Young Has Another Find Which Promises Well, He Says— Showing Right on Surface The coming spring gives promise of opening very early as far as business in the north is concerned There is already a decided move on the part of investors and others in this direction, and it would seem that the travel Is to be especially active at a very early date now. The Prince Rupert yesterday brought to this port over one hundred passengers, most of them not residents here. Among them was Alex. Faulds, M.E., of Vancouver, who has come north on this occasion for the purpose of making an inspection of the British American Coal company's mines on the Queen Charlottes. He will go over to Mas- set today and from there proceed overland to his destination, not far from Skidegate. The work on this property is proceeding very well, he says, and the indications are excellent for the future of the mine. He will not remain very long there at this time, but will return as soon as he ascertains what is being done, and has given advice for the future work to be carried out at the property. Coal on Surface Another interested in coal was a passenger on the steamer. This was 0. R. Young, of Queen Charlotte City, who is also developing a property bight at that point. Mr, Young is on his way back to begin the development of what he has every hope will become one of the best things in the coal line on the island. It is a body of coal right on the surface and within the bounds of the city of Queen Charlotte. The secret was revealed to Mr. Young by an Indian and a two foot seam is exposed. Steps will be taken at once to develop the 'proposition and prove exactly what there is there. Acocmpanylng Mr. Young is S. A. Ranisy, of Calgary, who is interested in tlie coal property which is being opened up under tlie general guidance of Mr, Young.
