POLICE HOLD INITIAL MEETING Body Agrees to Follow Course Adopted Last Year of Giving Chief Vick- ers a Free Hand-Aid. Bullock-Webster Praises the Work Done by Former Body-A Restricted District the Mayor Thinks Should be Recognized. The Board of Police Commissioners held Its first meeting yefterday afternoon in the mayor's office with the mayor. Alderman Bullock-Webster and .1. II. Thompson all ptesent. Cnief Vlckers ami the city ~'ci'k as R« the secretary of the board was li'-;i"t. Duri i.; the proceedings Pcv F. W. Ke t through Alderman Douglas asked if he might attend. The mayor said that he was perfectly agreeable if the other commis- ■ sioners were and on approval being expressed Mr. Kerr listened to the proceedings. An application from Walter Shore for a position on the police force was read. The mayor asked if he understood aright that the chief selected his own staff last year. Chief Vickers replied in the affirmative. The mayor suggested that if it was the wish of the commissioners they might follow the same course as in the past. This plan , on motion, was adopted and the application of Mr. Shore was referred to the chief. The chief's report for the month was read, showing that 41 cases had been laid during the month. The report was adopted. The accounts for the month were presented. Commissioner Bullock-Webster asked if the groceries were bought at different stores. ' " - It was explained that they were bought a month at a time at the different stores. The accounts were passed. Estimates Presented The estimates for the year were presented by the chief. They amounted to $12 945, about $200 higher then last year. The chief explained that unless (here was something unforeseen the amount was ample. Mayor's Views With the ordinary business cleared away, the mayor converted the meeting into one for the expression of individual opinions with respect to enforcing law. The mayor said that up to yesterday he had not had any official notice of the appointment of the commission. It had been brought to his attention that the barrooms were being run pretty wide open, and that young boys were allowed around pool rooms. He had taken upon himself to take this up with the chief of police, and the city solori- tor. The chief had been asked to see that the regulations as to licensed houses be lived up to. A bylaw as they knew was before the council dealing with tho question of pool rooms. The citizens as a whole were expecting the commission to see that the laws were lived up to the letter. He thought the licensed places should nol be allowed to serve guests with liquor except during regit hit' meal hours, The city soli citor advised him that the intent of the provincial law was that liquor should not be served guests except at the meal hours. He thought they should-make this a part of the city regulations. Another matter which he felt should be attended to was the getting after those "blind piggers." These should be got after and the law rigidly enforced. Restricted District Another matter was whether the chief should not get after the Co- mox avenue section to prevent their disposing of liquor illegally. These people were disposing of liquor in opposition to the licensed places. The police commission might also make a recommendation as to the tacit allowance of these places to exist. His own notion was that it would be wiser to acknowledge the advisability of allowing these places to exist in the segregated district under the supervision of the chief of police as to maintaining order. AW. Bullock-Webster Aid. Bullock-Webster agreed that the public expected to see drastic improvements along this line. There had been a great improvement under the last commisison, and especially since Chief Vickers took control. He thought they should see to it that the laws were strictly lived up to. With respect to the restricted area he always -felt that while not a necessity, it was perhaps the most advisable way of handling this. The keeping of a restricted district was, he felt, the wisest course in the interests of moralty. As to the enforcing of the law as to selling liquor in these places, this was a difficult thing to do. • At the same time he felt all that could be done should be. He felt that the laws should be enforced. Wants Laws Enforced Commissioner Thompson said that he stood for the strict enforcement of the law. He felt that the chief should be Instructed to enforce the law, and the commissioners should stand behind him in it. (Snide to Magistrate The mayor said that in taking cases into'court he did not believe in dictating to tlie police magistrate. But when hundreds of dollars were spent, to secure a conviction, he did not think it was right that a $nu fine only should be inflicted. Something ought to be done to draw the attention of the magistrate to'this. It should be brought to him in some way that when convictions in such cases were secured he should make the fines severe. Under ex-Mayor Manson and Mr, McMullln before incorporation, heavy fines were Inflicted. As much us $200 at a clip" bad been Innicted. They should take it u|> witli the government to have the magistrate Impose such fines :is will stamp out the nuisance of selling liquor In "blind pigs." FORTIFYING ISLANDS Fanning Will lie Protected by Brit- ish Government as Coaling Station Confirmation of the report that England was preparing to fortify Fanning Island and to maintain a coaling station there has been received in private advices from Fanning Island, which said that the steamship Makura had landed a number of big guns on the island. Reports from Honolulu that the steamer Makura had landed big guns on Fanning Island In the South Seas Indicate that the British government Is carrying out a programme announced last November when a syndicate of British capitalists took over the ground. At that time it was said that the syndicate planned to establish a coaling station there lor CABINET INTRIGUE London, Feb. 8—According to this morning's Standard there Is again serious dissen sion in the British cabinet, involving an intrigue to displace Premier Asqultli in favor of Lloyd George. use of merchant and naval vessels, It being considered that the island would prove of great strategic value after the opening of the Panama Canal. Aid. Bullock-Webster thought that if a decided stand were taken the magistrate would live up to It. Commissioner Thompson supposed the fines were fixed by law.' The subject of pool rooms and the city bylaw was Introduced when the sugegstion was made that the commissioners might, if they saw fit, make any recommendation to the council. Strict Enforcement Commissioner Thompson thought the commisioners were there to see that the laws were enforced. He was in favor of enforcing any bylaw the city passed. There followed a free discussion relative to pool playing, and how far it could be done without violating the law. The mayor said that one objection by the workingmen was that clubs were allowed to play pool on Sundays or at any hou^s, while they could not He had suggested to these men that perhajps they could have a pool room which could be regarded as a private place, like a private parlor, where the game could be played if they wanted to, although he was not advocating Sunday playing. Aid. Bullock-Webster thought it might be regarded as unfair if the clubs could continue laying while workingmen were not allowed tojdo so. Commissioner Thompson pointed out that the clubs • were- »ndi.:>**!?v> vincial charter, and these were not brought under the new rule. The subject of what license fees to charge pool rooms was brought up also by the mayor, who wondered if a heavier charge proportionately could not be made for a single table than was made for several. The single table, he was told, was used only as a blind to play gambling games. Class Legislation Aid. Bullock-Webster was afraid that this would be regarded as c'ass legislation of the worst kind, although he did not want to see anything done to encourage gambling. The mayor also wondered if some plain clothes men would not be advisable on the force. It was pointed out to bom that they soon became known and their usefulness in securing convictions for gambling, etc., was gone. It was thought best to continue the practice followed last year of leaving this to the chief to select specials for this work as the occasion arose. (Continued on Last Page) NO PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AT THE BELFAST MEETING Many Interruptions Were Given to the Speeches and Churchill Was Burned in Effigy but Soldiers and Police Kept Everything Under Control-Some Features of the Home Rule Bill Set Forth by Lord of the Admiralty Belfast, Feb. 8.—Threats of death and violence to Winston Churchill, John Redmond and others if they carried out their avowed intention to aeliver addresses in support of Home Rule fell flat here today. Although the speakers were subjected to all manner of abuse no attempt at actual physlcial violence was made, thousands of troops and police having the situation in hand at all times. Great crowds gathered despite the rain and in places Churchill was burned in' effigy, as were also Sir Edward Carson and Lord Londonderry, the Unionist leaders. Amid hoots and jeers and counter cheers, Mr. Churchill and his wife, guarded by a body of police, rode in an auto from the hotel to Celtic Park. At one time tilings looked ominous when shortly after the first lord of the admiralty left the hotel a rush was made for his auto, but the police prevented any serious result. Safeguard All Parties The most important parts of his speech were that under the measure proposed religious freedom would be secured; representation to all parties In the Irish parliament would be guaranteed; laws and taxes unjust to any party would be guarded against; and Ireland would control its own finances. Under the terms of the Home Rule bill armed forces in Ireland will be controlled by the Imperial government, and the Imperial government will continue its land purchase and pensions schemes. Clauses relative to religious freedom and taxes will be inserted to relieve any anxiety among the Protestants of Ulster. Advantages of Scheme The Government's Home Rule bill, said Churchill, would fit into a general scheme of parliamentary devolution, leading ultimately to Hie federation of the whole Empire. Mr. Churchill contended that Ihe settlement of the long quarrel between the British government and the Irish people would be a boon to the Empire beyond compare, as the Irish throughought the world w;ere the power who had. in the past mostly worked counter to British interests. GREAT COAL CENTRE Graham Island Will Soon be Fully Exploited as Far as Measures are Concerned. Masset's Prospective Areas Are Now to be Looked Into by Canadian- American Syndicate The visit of Alex Faulds M.E., to Graham Island at this time is in connection' with exploiting -measures which lie near Masset. They are in fact within a mile and a half of that flourishing centre on the east side of the inlet. These areas are held by a syndicate in the south which now hopes to begin actual mliing upon them. Mr. Faulds, who has within the past few years, made wider examinations into the coal area of Graham Island than any other engineer, and Is therefore in a position to know more about them than perhaps any one else, wll start a force boring upon the ground to testjhe situation. He will remain tifere until the work is well advanced, when he will return to Prince.

NOT liMOISljATIVK Vlayor Newton, as chairman of pol ce i ommlssion, either fails to realize the functions of that body or else regards it as a place where gallery play can be made. Tlie police commission is in no sense of the word legislative in .fs duties. Its task is to administer ilie police affairs and sec tiiat that force carries out the law. When tlie commission yesterday entered upon the discussion o| tile form of bylaw to be passed, it went out of the scope of its duties. The situation was aptly dis- cribed by Commissioner Thompson, when he said that the commission would be prepared to see that any bylaws passed by the city were carried out. The discussion of rules to be observed by pool rooms and bar rooms is not the duty of the commission. That body's duty is to see that the police force is kept efficient, that no abuses are allowed to creep into the force, and that that body sees thai the laws whether they are city bylaws or statutes, are enforced. It is true that the police force to some extent reflects the will of the police commissioners. A commission lenient in the matter of enforcing the law is apt to have a police force that is lenient also. A strict commission will generally have a strict, police force. It does not always follow ibat a chief of police is lenient because the commission is so. A chief is in duty bound to enforce laws whether his commissioners back him up in it or not. Th i commission may make it uncomfortable lor a chief if he does not follow their policy, bin he is net obliged in do so. Skeena Land District—District of Queen Charlotte Islands TAKE NOTICE thai L.

DISTRICT SANCTIONED Tlie attitude of Mayor Newton on the restricted district as set forth by him at the meeting of the police commission yesterday will not be very satisfactory, we believe, to those who love law and order. The segregation of Ihe section of the community may be the best system yet found lor dealing witli what is one of the most vexatious questions to he handled today. While we would hesitate to advise the attempt being made to stump this out at the risk of scattering the habitues all over tin cltXj yet it should never be allowed to be forgotten Hint the evil is an illegal act. .Mayo;' Newton, however, by his announcement in the commission yesterday, Initiates a new order. He says in effect we will sanction I lie i rime. We will put restrictions upon ii. but we officially allow il to exist. Surely this Is n backward step. Ii smatters very much of "the wide open town."

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL BIRDS FEELINGS if x- * * if ************************** A physiologist or a naturalist will frequently do things in the name of science that he would not do as a man. Not every physiologist who dissects a live anima, Is hard-hearted. Nor is the naturalists who robs a nest necessarily indifferent to the grief of the old birds. The one uses the knife that he may illustrate physiology; the other steals the eggs to get at the facts of ornithology. Doctor Brewer, tlie ornithologist, once had a painful experience while studying the hermit thrush In the woods at Uova Scotia. As he had begun to suspect that there were two varieties of this bird, he came upon a nest of the rarest variety in the thick woods. Finding the old birds gone, ho hastily took the nest, in which were several eggs, into the light of an open space not far off. lie had just blown out the contents of the eggs when the old birds returned. So touching was their lamentation, the tone far more pathetic than the birds' ordinary cry, that, said the doctor, "I would have put the eggs all back If 1 could." The doctor once owned a mocking bird whom he valued for his tender familiarities. The bird lived chiefly out of the cage. In fly season he would perch on his master's finger and be carried round the walls, darting at every fly as he went, and devouring it with special gusto. One day the doctor's mother placed several Thanksgiving pies in the "spare room" to cool. The bird flew into the room, selected a mince pie, pulled the crust off, and was enjoying the mincemeat when the old lady- discovered him. Putting the pies on a large tray, she was taking them to a closet, when the bird, seeing her intention, and evidently seeing also that her hands were holding the sides of the tray, flew down and expressed his indignation by angrily pulling off her cap. A number of other incidents are on record where birds showed their disgust for those who robbed thai- nests of eggs, and where birds even formed in a body to attack those collecting eggs. The sorrow of pet crows and parrots whose masters are removed by death is often noticed, and one very tame crow which was owned by » woman in Virginia would fly to the cemetery and sit for hours on a tree which stood near the grave of Its beloved master. Parrots and even canaries have been known to refuse to eat and have died in sorrow and grief over the loss of their human companions. It is just as reasonable to suppose a bird has feelings as well as horses or dogs, which are frequently inconsolable after the loss of their owners. Birds surely grieve after the loss of their mates, and they, of course, could become attached to human friends. o LAND DISPUTES will investigate all the circumstances of the conflicting claims, and make his report to the minister with the least possible delay. The controversy has been in progress during some time past, by reason of the activity of people acquiring title to lands under the Coal Mines Act. Some years ago, it will be remembered, the government placed under reserve an extensive area of Graham Island for exclusive entry by pre-emptors, but as the Coal Mines Act stood at that time it was nevertheless possible for licensed prospectors to enter the reserved areas, and thus is happened that pre-emptors and coal licensees got on the same ground, and the situation was further complicated by the surveys of timber licences existent prior to the declaration of the reserve, and also prior to both the entry of Jjoth coal licensees and pre-emptors. The surveys have been found to have shifted somewhat from where they were supposed to be, and this also has increased the difficulties of equiably dealing with the various interests in conflict. o Excellent food—prompt service— popular prices—Ward's lunch counter. Some of the answers given by candidates for the Chicago police force at a recent examination were: — "The duties of a policeman are to guard the peace and limb of the city." "If I found a man on my beat suffering with a broken leg 1 would ask him his name, address, age, occupation, married or single, and would I then see if he would rather go home or to a hospital." "Buglary is a crime where you crawl in a man's house with the intention of intimidating to steal." Government Agent Will Endeavor to Settle Disputes That Have Arisen in Queen Charlotte Islands With a view to the early adjustment of the various land disputes that have for some months past been a source of very considerable vexation to residents of Graham Island, of the Queen Charlotte group—an arrangement that will be equitable to al concerned and based upon first hand and comprehensive investigation—the Minister of Lands, lion. W. R. Ross has Instructed Mr. s. A. Fletcher, government agent at New Westminster to proceed to the areas in dispute in something of the capacity ni' an envoy extraordinary, ami acting upon tin' Instructions which lie received, says tin- Colonist in further explanation or the question, .Mr. Fletcher will leave for the north forthwith. From here he will proceed direct In Prince Rupert, where ho will call upon the reBldenl government agent, who exercises jurisdiction over tho lands In dispute, consulting and acting with that agent in the matter, The appointment and instruction of Mr. Fletcher meet with the fullest approval of Air. Win. Manson, M.P.P., who has been energetically pressing upon the minister the necessity for some such action ever since his arrival here to take up his legislative duties of the session. As generally well understood, there have recently developed a number of disputes over lands on Graham Island in the vicinity of Masset Inlet and of Lawn Hill, these disputes having arisen largely by reason of the overlapping of lands held under coal licences, lands held under timber licences, and lands held under pre-emption records.

From Alberta conies the news that there are lots being offered for sale in Prince Rupert Park, which is located on the other side of Kaien Island, but it is inferred from the letter received that the location is made to appear to he very importantly situated as far as Prince Rupert is concerned. While all the particulars are not available, enough has been obtained to prompt very serious suspicions as to what is going on in connection with the sale of these lots, -'v o SPORTS ' BRITISH FOOTBALL The second round of the English Football Association was played on Saturday, the usual thousands attending the games. Four games resulted in draws and will have to be replayed next week.
