BECKER IS GUILTY
Lieutenant of New York Police Force
Found to Have Committed
Murder.
An Appeal Will lie Taken Which
Will Delay Procedure Some
Months.
New York, Oct. 26.—Lieutenant
Becker, who was found guilty of
murder in the first degree by the
jury, is in the Tombs planning a
fight to annul the jury's verdict.
Notice of appeal was filed immediately after the jury had declared
him guilty of the murder of Herman Rosenthal.
Without the appeal, Becker
would have been sentenced next
Wednesday and would, had the usual procedure been followed, have
.'».taken his place in the electric chair
the first week in December. The
filing of the notice of appeal will
stay the proceedings and it may be
many months yet before Becker will
pay the penalty of his crime.
"Lefty Louie" will be the first of
the gunmen to be placed on trial.
He will appear before the jury on
November 7.
When the jury returned their
verdict against Becker, his wife, who
was waiting outside the court room,
swooned. The lawyers for the defense made a very eloquent plea for
Mrs. Becker.

"BOBS" ON WAR
The Idol of the British Army Says Germany Will Strike When She
Is Ready.
He Deplores tbe Unprepared State
of the British Navy and Army
For the Crisis When It Comes.
AWARDED A MEDAL
"Germany will make war," was
the title of an Impressive speech
made by Lord Roberts In London
a few days ago. He said:
"Now, just as in 1S6G and 1870,
war will take place the instant the
German forces by land and sea are,
by their superiority at every point,
as certain of victory as anything in
human calculation can be made certain.
"Germany strikes when Germany's
hour has struck—that is the time-
honored policy of her foreign office. It is her policy at the present
hour. It is, or should be, the policy
of every nation prepared to play a
great part in history.
"Under that policy Germany has,
within ten years sprung, as at one
bound, from the weakest naval
power to that of the greatest naval
power, save one, upon the globe.
Today, every British warship and
British merchant vessel thrills In all
her iron nerves to that mighty presence.
"The fact is we have lost command of every sea but one—the
North Sea—and our supremacy over
that sea is now a matter of doubt.
In other words, whereas your forefathers traded as their right on
every sea, you now only trade by
the sufferance of other powers.
"We may stand still: Germany
always advances; and the line along
which she is moving is now most
manifest. It is towards complete supremacy by laud and sea.
"Contrasted with our own apathy
or ouerile spasmodic efforts lmpvefh
Blve is this magnificent unreating
energy. It has the mark of true
greatness; It exhorts admiration,
even from those against -whom it Is
directed.
"We have a fleet; but that fleet
is rapidly becoming unequal to the
fleets by which it may be opposed
and by the inadequacy of our land
forces it is maimed and hampered
in its very nature as a fleet."
o
Going to lkeda.
C. M. Mclntyre, who has charge
of construction work on wireless
stations in this coast, has returned
to the city. He will leave for lkeda,
where he will have charge of the
station for a time, relieving the
regular operator there.
Off to tbe War.
A party of Greeks left by the
Canadian Pacific steamer. Princess
May yesterday. Captain Stradas, who
is in charge, remained behind waiting for a party of about sixteen
that will reach the city tonight
from up the line.
o
Awaiting Message.
Awaiting a reply to her message

leaving or not.

ARMY BOMBARDING ADRIANOPLE
The Victorious Army Has Opened Fusilade Upon One of the Strongholds of the Turkish Nation
at a Distance of Three and a Half Miles-Servians and Allies are Reported to Have
Taken Uskup-Balkan States Nay Defy the Great Powers of Europe Should
the Latter Seek to Maintain Turkey In Europe.
London, Oct. 26.—The victorious
Bulgarian army, after its victory at
Kirk Killsseh, is rapidly closing In
upon Adrianople. The bombardment
of that city Is taking place at a distance of three and a half miles. It is
believed this strongly fortified
stronghold must fall soon before
the attacks of the Bulgarians.
Success Attended.
Sofia, Oct. 26.—The situation
around Adrianople Is unchanged. In
fighting at Yuruk, the Turks lost
about three hundred killed and five
hundred prisoners, and in addition
three quick firing guns and twelve
wagons of ammunition.
At Kirdchall the Bulgarians seized a million rounds of ammunition,
forty cases of shells and great stores
of food supplies.
In Razlog district the Bulgarians have secured the mastery of
the whole region extending to the
upper reaches of the Mesta river. In
this province, near Mahomia, a regiment of Turkish infantry was annihilated by the Invaders and a bat
talion of regulars are surrounded in
a walled town by Bulgarian troops.
Belgrade, Oct. 26.—The Turkish
stronghold of Uskup, It is reported
here, has been taken by the allied
Servian and Bulgarian armies.
May Defy Powers.
London, Oct. 26.—The Turkish,

powers will Intervene and ».deavor
to stop the bloody Balkan war, following the flrsl decisive battle between the Turks and the Pan-Hellenic nations. Germany is fully prepared to co-operate with the other
nations In a view to ending the
war. The fall of Kirk Killsseh Is
not so regarded.
London, Oct. 2(1.—A report is current that the present Illness of the
Czar's eldest son, which was said

I r 'here is fresh interest being
a in the water route for grain.
■While at the present time the ports
that will handle this'class of trade
will be confined largely to Portland and the I'uget Sound ports, the
time is i';i.-i approaching when there

way from the States of the Pacific
Siope through the ports mentioned.
The opening of the Panama Canal
will in no small measure alter the
situation to a very large extent and
instead of going by the Horn there
will be a tendency to use the canal
route. Then it will be thai this port
will come in for a tremendous
trade.
CONSIDERATE TO CHILDREN.
The act of the Duke of Connaught in remembering the children
of ihe Public schools In connection
willi his visit to the different points
In the West on his recent visit is
in beeping with the general character of the Royal visitor. From
amidst all the pomp and ceremony
with which the city council1 surrounded his stgy here, tlie* Royal
visitor did not lose sight of the
children. They might be overlooked
by the mayor in planning his magnificent pageant with which the
Oovernor-General was welcomed.
The simple singing of the children
giving welcome In truly loyal
fashion to the representative of the
King would perhaps in the opinion
of the rulers of this city have been
altogether out of place amid the
splendor with which the Duke ot
Connaught was received.
But the Duke did not forget them.
At his instance there was a holiday
accorded them during his visit and
now on his return, although deprived of meeting them in a body,
he has sent a medal to be presented
with the hope that it will serve lo
commemorate the visit to Prince
Rupert.
And so it is that kings and
princes differ In their opinions. In
the mind of the old Duke of Connaught who has served his nation
in all pans of the world for a long
period of years there is nothing
, lore ennobling than the sight of the
children. Perchance he is somewhat
old fashioned in his way. The modern ruler in his herculean task of
keeping a young city "off the bum"
has no time for Buch things.

ERNEST A. WOODS,
12,13,20,22,27 City Clerk.
tor.'es since July, 1910, on the occasion of his departure from Le Pas,
.Man., for Vancouver, where he intends to reside in the future, Mr. J.
P. Gordon, assistant to Chief Engineer Armstrong, of the Hudson's
Bay Railway, who was with Hon.
Frank Cochrane on his trip through
Hudson Hay last summer, made the
statement thai as far as Ice was
concerned there could be no trouble.
The ministerial party had found
none in tlie Hudson's straits and on
the coast of Labrador the Straits
of Belle Isle were the only places
where any bad been found.
Mr, Boyd, of M,Arthur & Boyd,
contractors for the whole of the
Hudson Bay Railway, who were also
present, have just returned from un
inspection from the line in company with Assistant Engineer Gordon. In his opinion the Hudson Bay
road is much easier to build than
was the C.P.R., and no doubt should
be as great a success as that line.
Mr. G. H. Bancroft, who has milling interests north of Le Pas, believes that the possibilities In the
minerals in New Manitoba are very
great, the indications found on his
previous trip being so much worth
looking into that he and several assistants were preparing to make a
new start shortly.
Mr. C. E. Hallcrew, retired factor
f the Hudson's Bay Company, who
as resided for forty years in this
district and has lived for eight
ears at Hudson Bay and travelled
through the Straits several times,
idiculed the statement made by
eastern papers and other interests
that the navigation there is impossible for the greater part of the
ear. In his opinion and judging
from personal observations he believes that navigation can be kept
open for eight months in the year.

G. T. P.'s NEW LINE.
Survey Completed for New Road
from Lethbridge to Reglna— Projected Line to Vancouver.
Surveys are now virtually completed for an atr line between Reglna and Lethbridge which will be
built by the Grand Trunk Pacific as
soon as weather permits in the coming spring. Engineers are now making permanent surveys in the mountains for a direct line from Lethbridge to Vancouver which will run
between the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway and the international boundary, says a Moose
Jaw despatch. If the route is not
feasible the company will build this
line to the south of the international boundary. The line between
Le'thbridge and Reglna will tap some
of the richest wheat raising territory
In the provl ice and will give that
part of Saskatchewan an outlet to
Hudson's Bay via the company's Mel-
ville-Regina Branch. Work, it is
said, will be started on the line as
early in the spring as possible.
Not Sure of John,
A Scotch woman and her gardener used to worship together, not being able to agree with any form of
church doctrine. A friend remonstrated with her and asked:
"Do you really think you and
your gardener are the only two real
members of the true church on
earth?"
To which she replied:
Weel, I'm nae sae sure o'
John."

and Vancouver. It is a strange commentary upon tbe frequently expressed view that the sailim; ship
is rapidly disappearing that, at the
present moment, there should l.e
more of these vessels heading this
way than ever before. Thousands of
tons of wheat and flour will be sent
round the Horn to the United Kingdom in sailers this year, and, in addition, the lumber business is attracting quite a number to British
Columbian ports, which, of course,
have no grain to ship.
The British schooner David Evans
is nearly 40 days out from Japan
and should be here very soon. The
Norwegian barque Lady Elizabeth is
already here. The British ship Clav-
erdon, which has a cargo of cement
and general freight from London
for R. V. Winch & Co., is 69 days
out from London. There are a number of sailers at Sound ports now
loading lumber and grain cargoes.
Among the windjammers bound
for the Columbia river at present
are the following: German ship Os-
sa from Antwerp; German barque
Henriette from Antofagasta; British
barque Metropolis, 62 days out from
Buenos Ayres; British ships Boadi-
cea and Colony, and the British
barque Inverclyde, also from Buenos
Ayres; British barque Altair, 48
days, and the British ship Raven-
hill, 47 days from Callao; Norwegian
barque Valerie, 49 days from Capetown; Russian ship Mariechen from
Cardiff; French barque Rene, 70
days from Dunkirk; Russian ship
Cian Macfarlane, 62 days from Ga-
tico; German barque, R. C. Rick-
mers from Hiogo; German ship, Ell-
frieda, 34 days, and British barque,
Hougomont, 30 days from Iquique;
German barque Osterbek, 25 days
and British barque, Iverna, from
Montevideo; French ship Rene Ker-
viler, 63 days from Newcastle, N. S.
W.J French ship Thiers, 104 days,
and French barque General de Neg-
rier, 86 days from Newcastle-on-
Tyne; German ship Terpsichore, 56
days and British barque Killoran,
46 days from Rio de Janeiro; German barques Eilbek, Jersbek, Adelaide, Isebek and Goldbek from Santa Rosalia; French barque Mare-
chal de Villars, 41 days, and Russian barque Dundee, from Santos;
British ship Oweene, 49 days from
Taltal.
Outside tlie regular fleet of
schooners engaging in the coastal
and Australian trade and the ships
running between Boston, New York
and Baltimore, there are a considerable number of other windjammers bound for San Francisco, the
total number bound for the North
Pacific suggesting that the sailing
vessel is anything but dying out.
HANDLING EXPRESS
Canadian Company Has Adopted
Rules In Connection With
Its Business.
New
Information Given Out Relative to
tlie Improvements that Have
Taken Place,
THE RIG BANQUET.
Elaborate Preparations Have iieeii
Made for Thanksgiving hvent
in MetliodiHt Church.
Full preparations have been made
by the ladies of the Mehhodlsl
church for a bumper crowd at the
big Thanksgiving banquet that Is to
be held on Monday. Abundance of
prmislons have bceH provided,
Prof. Kauffmnn,, Mrs. J. J, Chis-
holm, Mrs. Monroe, Mr. and Mrs. J,
Ford Henderson, Mr. Armstrong and
Dr. Large will appear on the programme following the banquot hour.
The public is reminded that there
will be no fixed charge. A thank
offering only will be taken of what
the purBe affords; the more liberal
the more joy to the ladies. The
funds are needed.
The ladies have engaged Auctioneer Ellis to sell their handsome
autograph quilt at tho banquet, so
bachelors prepare.
The public is asked to come at
6:30 sharp. All will sit at once.
Enter off Fulton street from Sixth
avenue by the sidewalk. Each one
is Invited to bring a friend.
G. B. Hull, resident engineer of
the public works department at Ottawa, has returned to the city af-1
tec a hurried trip to the south.
The Canadian Express Company,
which is represented in Prince Rupert, has recently adopted throughout its entire system of seven thousand miles of railway and steamship lines a carefully worked out
plan, having for its object the prevention of double collection of
charges at destination when shipments have already been prepaid,;
the prevention of overcharges and
undercharges, and Ihe elimination
of the occurrence of packages going astray or being found over without mark, resulting in delay in delivery and inconvenience and loss to
the public.
The foundation of this new plan
for the correct receiving, billing
and handling of shipments is the
fact that waybills and package la-
be's of distinctive colors are used.
For example, all packages the
charges on which are to be prepaid,
will bear a label printed on golden
rod paper. This serves as a warning to all employees that charges
are not to be again collected. Where
charges are to be collected at destination a white paper label is used;
for C.O.D. shipments, green paper;
and for shipments in bond, pink paper labels. Waybills printed on paper of corresponding colors will also
similarly distinguish the one class
of business from the other. A waybill is made in triplicate for every
consignment, one copy, which contains full particulars of consignee,
address, weight and charges, being
pasted on the package; one copy being handed to the train messenger,
in whose custody the package is
forwarded, and one copy retained
for office use. For mutual convenience, special arrangements are made
with large or regular shippers to
supply them with labels to be attached to shipments in advance of
the call of tbe driver.
Where a consignment consists of
a number of packages a special "lot
shipment" label is placed upon each
package which gives reference to the
entire consignment. This is expected
to prevent packages which are a
part of a consignment from going
astray, and will go a long way towards removing the difficulty which
t1 public have heretofore experienced.
The Canadian Express Company
relies upon the co-operation of its
patrons in making this system effectual for their own benefit.

NOTICE.
COM-
The public is warned not to postpone until it is too late getting on
the voters' list for the next municipal election, influences are nt ,vork
to attempt to continue the prevailing deplorable condition of affairs
in our city government and it is
most essential that every one who
has the interests of the city at heart
should make an effort to get on
the list if he is qualified under any
count to have a vote. There is no
time to be lost in this matter. The
end of the month marks the close
of the time when householders and
licenseholders can register. As there
is an increased number of residents
this year that must qualify under
this count there should be uo lost
time in getting on the list. We feel
that all that Is necessary In order
to rectify the condition of affairs
that exists today Is to have the public-spirited section of the city get on
the lists. The rest is then easy.
This city does not want to be
"on Ihe bum,' in the classic
language of the organ of Ihe present mayor, another year. Citizens
have seen enough of that this year.
Next year's council should by a policy of progress be able to retrieve
what has been lost this year. The
city cannot afford to be kept back
any longer. To do so will mean
that the city will In no way be
ready for the through line when it
comes. Next year there should be
a wise council in power. There
should be a mayor there who does
not offer as an excuse for his presence in the mayor's chair that he
only wanted to show some of the
citizens that he could get there If
he wanted to. It wants a mayor
that has somewhat higher motives
In view when he asks for the suffrage of the people.

GRANBY BAY
The Coming Smelter City of the North
Truly, the future of Granby Bay Is bright. The absolute perma-
nancy Is one of the most gratifying features—as the supply of copper
ores in Northern British Columbia is practically inexhaustible.
Only a few choice lots are being offered for sale in the Town of
Granby Bay, and there is not much doubt that they will be sold quickly.
Grasp the fact that ore can be produced at Granby Bay much
cheaper than In places where large profits are now being made in mining
and smelting. Then you can appreciate what an opportunity confronts
you in the chance to buy property In such a place at first prices. There
is no earthly reason why Granby Bay will not be the big important
mining town of British Columbia—and that means a rapid raise in property values. *
Property is cheap in Granby Bay now. Get our prices and you will
get a lot. For prices, terms and further information, address
