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. o—■ AUCTION SALE In Assigned Estate ol' W. M. Ward.

"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.

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. ll'DSON BAY ROUTE.

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.

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.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Sunday, October 27, 1912. SAILERS COMING Large Fleet of Windjammers From all Parts of the World on Way to Coast. Large Amount of Grain Will lie Handled by Way of the Horn This Vear. The grain season has started and many windjammers are on their way to the North Pacific from different parts of the world—many of them bound for San Francisco, Portland, Pugct Sound, and some for Victoria 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. o GET ON Tin. LISTS.

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. o SlTRSCRIBE FOR THE JOURNAL IN THE MATTER OF THE PANIES ACT —and— IN THE MATTER of an application to change the name of "Prince Rupert Financiers, Limited," to "INVESTMENT COMPANY OF NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA, Limited."

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 CJtV. Calhoun, Sole Agent THE CONTINENTAL TRUST COMPANY, LIMITED TRUSTEES.
