Details Relative to the Decision of Government to Refer it Back, Given
By Nr. Lucas
At   Original   Hearing   It   Is   Alleged
There Was Not a Representative
of All Parties Concerned
That politics had nothing to do
with the determination of the gov-
ernor-general-in-council to reverse
the order of the railway commission
regarding the station at New Hazelton was the emphatic statement of
F. G. T. Lucas, who has returned
to Vancouver from Ottawa, where he
was present before the council, representing the residents of Old Hazelton, the Old Hazelton Board of
Trade, and property owners of South
Hazelton. The order for a rehearing
of the case was made on the representing of certain statements made
before the commission at the original
hearing, the incorrectness of the
statements being admitted by the
persons responsible for them, and because at the original hearing there
were no interests represented save
those of the Grand Trunk Pacific
and the New Hazelton Townsite,
while South Hazelton and Old Hazelton and other interests vitally affected by the ruling of the commission were without voice In the proceedings, says the News-Advertiser.
Mr. Lucas was careful to state
that the application for the reopening of the case, as far ah shis clients
were concerned, was not for the pfir
pose of opposing tlie erection anil
maintenance of a station at the "Kelly Townsite" of New Hazelton, but
for the abrogation of that pari of
the order which forbade the opening
of the station at  South  Hazelton.
"At the original hearing, before
the railway commission, only two of
the interested parties were represented," said Mr. Lucas. "These
were Robert Kelly and the Grand
Trunk. At the hearing before the
council  there  were  represented  the
G. T. P., by W. H. Biggar; W. J.
Sanders, tlie original owner of South
Hazelton, by Mr. Caldwell of Ottawa;
the Methodist Church, owners of
property adjoining South Hazelton
at the confluence of the Skeena and I
Bulkley rivers, by N. W. Rowell,
K. C, leader of the Liberal party in
Ontario, and other land owners by
myself.
"Opposed to them, in the effort
to sustain the order of the railway
commission, were counsel for Mr.
Kelly, T. Chase Casgrain of Montreal, a prominent Conservative, and
recently appointed to an important
position by the liordeii adniimsfflt-
tion, and Clive Pringle, both representing property owners of New
Hazelton.
"The feature of the appeal before
the council was that the ruling of
the commission was given on a matter of dispute between Mr. Kelly and
the Grand Trunk Pacific, which involved other and larger interests,
these latter beingwithout representation. It was shown that had the
other interests been heard at that
time and had not certain misrepresentations been made, the very
strong order made by the commission would never have been made.
as a matter of fact, in 1909, the
Grand Trunk Pacific had agreed with
the owners of the old Ellison Town-
site, one and a half miles from South
Hazelton, to give them a station.
"This property was subdivided
and sold on the understanding that
it was to be the townBite. But this
location was found to be unsuitable
for the people of Old Hazelton, and
In 1911 they met G. Ryley, land commissioner of the G. T. P. at Old
Hazelton, and in a conference with
the owners of Lot 851, now known
us South Hazelton, the G. T. P. representative agreed to establish a station at South Hazelton. This latter
location is the nearest point to Old
Hazelton Townsite, the head of navigation on the Skeena River and the
most advantageous location for the
lallway station as far as giving a
service to the Old Hazelton Town-
site is concerned. In connection
with tills agreement, the purchasers
of the Old Ellison Townsite lots were
given tlie option of having their niau-
ey returned or of receiving lots of
proportional value In the South Ha-
ze'ton Townsite. The carrying nut
of this agreement was baulked by
the order of the railway commission
prohibiting the Grand Trunk Pacific
from giving a station to Sout li Hazelton. Nobody wants to have the
station taken away from Mr. Kelly,
but we do want the order prohibiting
the placing of a station at. New Ha-
zelton, where it will serve the town
of Old Hazelton, being tlie nearest
point to the old town and where it
is at the head of navigation on the
Skeena."
It may be 'mentioned that the
statemenl that the present is the first
Instance wherein the railway board's
order has been upset by the govern-
or-general-in-council is erroneous.
The board's order in the White Pass
& Yukon Railway rate case was sent
back to the commissioners for reconsideration.
TO GIVETHE FACTS
Aid Bullock--Webster Shows a Readiness to
Enlighten the Citizens upon Public Questions—He Gives the Figures Relating
to the Three By-Laws that are
Before the  Taxpayers
Alderman Bullock-Webster not
only Is willing to assume the full
responsibility that may attach to the
policy that has been pursued by the
financo committee of the city council, bin he is willing to give the
public any information that is avai1-
nlile to the subject of the bylaws
that are now before the people for.
signature preparatory to being voted
upon by the property owners.
In an administration now becoming famous for Hie paucity of in-
formallon which is obtainable from
it, there is indeed a satisfaction to
find one who is in a position to give
the information that is the just right
of the people. In Alderman Bullopfc
Webster such an exception seems to
have been found. It. is gratifying.
therefore, to be in a position to at
last give facts relative to the bylaws thai the citizens have long beep
wanting.
Whether tlie policy that Alderman
Bullock-Webster is prepared lo follow and defend is such as to appeal
to the public it. is indeed gratifying
to find one member of the finance
committee who appears to he able
to get at the true condition of affairs
and give the public the facts. The
■Vuirnal acknowledges, its thanks m
that alderman for the frank way in
which, he meets the wishes of tlie
citizens on this point. The following
figures have been furnished the
Journal by Alderman Bullock-Webster, and in explanation he states
that he thinks the figures are as accurate and up to date as can be got
without going over the final expenses
of the new city hall at great length
with the architects.
The figures given are under the
three heads covered by the bylaws
now before the people; namely: city
hall building, for which it Is sought
to borrow $35,000; electric light, for
which $66,000 is sought to extend
the plant and the lines; and telephone extension, which is estimated
to cost $20,000 The figures of Alderman   Bullock-Webster   show   the
following under these heads:

STARVEDJ0 DEATH
Bodies of Three Men Picked Up at Sea in Collapsible Boat—-They Had Chew Cork in
Effort to Allay Pangs of Hunger—One
Of The Men   Was Thompson
Beattie of Winnipeg
New York, May 17.—Three bodies
of men, victims of the Titanic ills-
aster, were picked up at sea on Monday by the steamer Oceanic. They
were in a collapsible boat.
One of tlie bodies was that of
Thompson Beattie of Winnipeg. They
were buried at sea.
In tlie opinion of Dr. French of the
Oceanic the men died from exposure
and hunger. Hearing out this theory
is the fact thai in the mouths of
the men were found small pieces of
cork which the men had evidently
chewed in an affort to allay the pangs
of li linger.

THE   BYLAW'S
The figures that are submitted by
Alderman Bullock-Webster relating
to the money Bylaws that It is sought
to get before the people should be
carefully considered by the citizens
generally before a decision is reached
either in favor or against the bylaws.
It will be seen that there was expended out of the taxes of last year
by the council of 1911 the sum of
well on for $24,000 on these three
enterprises that are to be dealt with
by the bylaws. This money has been
actually spent by the city and been
paid In in taxes by the citizens. If
we are not mistaken the policy of
last year's council was in part dictated along this line by the fact that
there were none of the large local
improvement levies to be assessed
against property last year and with
such a condition of affairs it was
wisdom on the part of the council
to pay for as much as possible out of
general revenue as long as the taxes
were not made excessive in so doing.
It was possible to keep the rate down
low last year and still pay all this
sum out of general revenue. Under
these circumstances we doubt if there
will be many who will find fault with
the  policy  that  was  carried  out.
As the years go by there will be
demands in the way of local improvements and civic undertakings that
will have the tendency to keep the
rate of taxation high enough without
going back and picking up all these
charges. It Is questionable whether
the citizens will approve of this feature of the bylaws, more especially
with regard to tlie city hall construction. There has been $10,000 spent
on that work by the council of last
year, or a proportion approaching a
third of the sum that the present
council estimates as the final cost
of the whole place furnished. The
citizens would probably be better
content to realize that there was that
part of the cost safely provided for
and paid than add that sum. small as
il is to the bonded indebtedness of
the city. There is no danger whatever
that the bonded indebtedness of the
city will mount up with sufficient
rapidity without attempting to pull
all that It is sougl I to bring In n i'.v
by means of these bylaws.
Under the heading of electric llghl
ii will lie noticed that the council of
this year look rather long chances
in incurring indebtedness without au-
t! ority to the extenl of $27,000.
This is a long way in excess of the
limii which the acl allows and ii
would surely have been wisdom on
the pari of the council to have had
the sanction of the property owners
earlier in the year on this mailer
before Incurring the liabilities thai
were   incurred.
Alderman Bullock-Webster may
thrown himself open to the charge by
the mayor of "croaking" to the
Join iib.1 bul he has certa al i doni
good service In giving lo the public
these figures, which will allow
them to study the situation In a much
more Intelligent way than has been
pi sible from any remarks of the
mayor and the chairman of the
finance committee. Alderman Bullock-Webster has shown that he possesses the comnion sense to understand what information is naturally
required by the public and tlie common decency to give the public the
information When he got it. Unfortunately for the eiiy, he seems
in this regard to occupy an unique
position on tho finance committee.
There will arrive in the city today,
.Mr.   Clements,   the  member  for   the
district  in   the   Mouse  of  Commons.
| Mr. Clements will be given a hearty
reception on his return from tlie first
session of tho House since his elec-
| tion.    In  thai session  lie lias shown
that he has the requisite charactistlcs
I to make a good representative.    He
i has evidenced  an  unfailing  Interest
i in this city and in the whole of the
I constituency.       Prince    Rupert    has
i every reason to feel thankful to the
member for the way he has remem-
! bored   the   city   and   irrespective   of
party   lines   altogether   he   will   be
i given   a   whole  hearted  welcome  by
i the  citizens.
In securing the boon of the night
i letter on the government telegrapa
j line he did something that has affected practically every business man
I in the place. The tremendous number of these mesages that go out and
are received in the local office every
night attests to the importance of
this service that has been rendered
by Mr. Clements. This is only one
of the many benefits that have been
derived through the representations
of this indefatigable member. Those
that have had to do public business
through the member can testify to
the fact that he seems never to sleep
and is ever ready to assist in the
securing of whatever is sought. Mr.
Clements has certajnly shown an untiring interest in Prince Rupert.

RUSHING THE WORK
HOW  THE   G.   T.  P.   IS   PISHING
FORWARD  CONSTRUCTION
The Opening the Spring is Marked
by Very Active Measures Near
Tete  Jaune  Cache
On the construction of the main
line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, from Mile 28 west of the sum-
mil to Mile 03, there .are today at
work no fewer than 6,000 men, blasting the right-of-way through the
mountains, grading the track, laying
the ties for the railway which is
to connect tlie city of Edmonton with
tidewater on the Pacific Coast by
the shortest route across the North
American continent, says the Edmonton Capital.
By July 1, according to the forecast of the subcontractors of Foley,
Welsh & Stewart, under whose care
the whole of the construction programme is being carried out, the
steel will be laid as far as Tete
Jaune Cache, at Miie 53, B. C. Before the raod can be completed to
this point the contractors must finish the tunnelling from Mile 47 to
a point some 2,000 yards west. Here
Is* the heaviest work on the whole
grade and from 1,500 to 2,000 men
have been engaged for months on the
taBk of blasting a tunnel through the
solid rock part. This undertaking
accomplished, the contractors will
make fast headway down the Fraser
Valley, and before the close of the
construction sealon will have reduced
to comparatively insignificant figures
the distance separating gangs on the
road working from the east and those
working from Prince Rupert eastwards towards Alberta.
Throughout the summer months
twenty-four steam shovels will be at
work in the valley west of Mile 53,
building the way for the roadbed
of the Grand Trunk Pacific. Subcontractors who are now in this city
State that the actual amount of grading done and the mileage of steel
laid will at the close of the present
season be greater than the accomplishment of either of the two preceding years.
At Resplendent, B. O, where the
steel gangs laid down their tools at
the end of the active season last
fall, track laying will commence
again in less than a fortnight's time.
Men and teams, and the necessaries of life for both, timber, structural steel, ties, rails, all these have
helped swell the consignments of
freight which have been sent over
the line during the winter months.
The contractors say that the camps
hvae never been more peaceful, that
the laborers have never shown the
least dissatisfaction than during the
past season.
On the Upper Fraser River two
boats and some twelve gasoline
launches are used by the company
for the purpose of transporting materials and supplies for work along
the grade.

Attempt lo Salve Bullion Sunk  Willi
Liitine n Century Ago
Bullion valued at over a million is
stored in Hie British frigate Lutine,
which has Iain at the bottom of the
sea off TerschelUng, on the coast of
Holland, since she foundered on October 8, 1799, and at the end of
April the salvage steamer Lyons, under Captuain Charles A. P. Gardiner,
set out for the purpose of attempting
to get the treasure.
During the last fifty years some
£100,000 has been salved from the
sunken vessel, and last year the
Ranger, by means of her powerful
suction pumps, removed 700,000 tons
oi sand which add drifted over the
frigate. In October the operations
had to be suspended for the winter
owing to the setting in of bad weather, and it is calculated that the sand
which has- since drifted over the
wreck will be removed in a day or
two by the pumps, which can suck
up 1,750 tons of sand an hour.
The Lutine lies at a depth of fifty
feet, and in her there are 1,800 bars
of gold and 400 bars of silver. Each
gold bar weighs 114 ounces, and the
silver bars weigh fifty pounds each.
Before the bullion can be readied an
enormous quantity of cannon balls
will have to be removed, and the
decks which have collapsed removed
bodily. It is expected, if all goes
well, that the bullion will be reached
by July. There are already slings
round the old wreck, which holds together, having been built of British
oak, and it is under consideration
to remove her bodily into TerschelUng Harbor by means of two lighters,
but that depends upon whether her
bottom is sound. So far two cannon, a number of cannon balls, and
about fifty tons of oak have been
got up. The pumps will suck up
cannon balls weight fourteen pounds
each, but not the bars of gold, which,
unless the wreck Is docked, will have
to be salved by divers.

MAN  OF  EXPERIENCE
Lord  Mersey   Regarded  as  Greatest
Authority on Matters Maritime
—Distinguished Lawyer
Lord Mersey, better know as Sir
John Bigham, the ex-president of the
probate, divorce and admiralty rivi-
sion, enjovs the highest of legal reputations irT" the Old Country, and is
of unequalled authority on matters
maritime. He was a pupil of that
famous lawyer, the late Lord Russell of Killoweu, near fifty years ago,
and later enjoyed a practice at the
bar of almost fabulous worth, being
much sought as counsel in large commercial cases. A native of Liverpool,
and for long leader of the northern
circuit, litigation in connection with
shipping has loomed large in his professional life. "Collision," "vis major," "alluvion," "Jettison"—all
all these words were lor ninny years
part of his every-day language. And
when he was appointed president of
that division of the high court, one
part of whose threefold jurisdiction
is concerned with ships and that
that go down to the sea in them,
there was general satisfaction felt
among admiralty lawyers, although
he himself is said to have quoted humorously:
"May there  be  no  moaning of  the
Bar
When I put out, to sea."
Lord Mersey resigned from the
bench ostensibly on the ground of
advancing years. But it was generally suspected that government pressure was brought to bear on him on
account of his somewhat latltudinar-
ian views on divorce. He maintained,
it may be remembered, that it was
the part of a wise wife to shut her
eyes to her husband's occasional infidelities. Lord Mersey represented

I   SPORTS   |
WORLD'S RUNNER
One of the most important of recent athletic performances was that
of Alfred E. Wood of England in
New York, where on May 5 he ran
the fastest fifteen miles ever recorded in an amateur or a professional
race In a description of this interesting event the New York Herald
says:
"One by one, the new king of
professional distance men ran his
eleven rivals off their feet. First it
was Svanberg (of tlie more prominent entrants) that succumbed to
the pace—collapsed, in fact- then
St. Yves, then Alfred Shrubb and
filially Billy Queal. the American
champion. And on the last lap of
his remarkable effort Woods finished
■with a sprint that brought ihe four
thousand spectators io their feet
cheering wildly.
"The Englishman placed the record at a figure that by comparison
should withstand attacks for many
years. His time, 1 hour, 18 minutes
15 seconds, was nearly two minutes
faster than the old mark, established
in 11)02 by Charles Appleby, when the
latter defeated Alfred Shrubb at
Glasgow in 1 hour 20 minutes 2-5
seconds.
Conditions were anything but propitious for the breaking of records.
A cold rain fell during the first six
and the last six miles of the race,
gradually softening tlie quarter mile
cinder track and rendering it a trifle
heavy for the closing miles of the
trip. Woods, Queal and Shrubb all
wore jerseys al ihe start, but the latter two peeled them off before covering the first mile. Woods refused
to follow their example and seemed
to use good judgment in doing so,
for after the tenth miles Queals legs
and arms stiffened noticeably and
so did Shriihb's, while Wood's action
continued smooth.
"Shrubb did most of the early
pace-making, varying his steady
stride witli occasional spasmodic
bursts of speed that left all but Queal
and Woods in the rear.
"Shrubb weakened in the ninth
miles, and atthe twelfth Queal was
through so far as winning was concerned. Woods continued strong,
lapping Queal during the fifteenth
miles and winning by nearly a lap
and a half, with Shrubb one minute
behind Queal, Crooks in fourth place
and Nieminen fifth.
"In addition to the fifteen mile
record, Queal and Woods shattered
intermediate marks, Queal leading
by a stride at the end of the eleventh
and twelfth miles, while the tenth,
thirteenth and fourteenth mile records went to Woods.
"Wood's time for the fifteen miles
was 1 hour 18 minutes 15 seconds,
Queal's 1 hour 21 minutes 2 1-5 seconds and Shrubb's 1 hour 22 minutes
4  1-5 seconds."

THE   DEADLY   WOOD TICK
A Pest Common to British Columbia
Said to Re Dangerous
"That wood ticks are sometimes
the means of infecting with spinal
meningitis persons whom they bite
is well recognized in the medical profession in British Columbia. In the
past thirteen years I have had four
rases where this disease could be
d'rectly traced to wood ticks and two
of these cases were fatal," said Dr.
W. O. Rose last night when asked
regarding the statement as to the
danger of wood ticks which was
made in yesterday morning's Daily
News by William .1. Cockle of Kaslo,
says the Hedley Gazette.
"It is, however, usually only when
Ihe insects Infect the nape of the
neck thai spinal meningitis results,"
continued Dr. Rose. "When they
bite other pans of ihe body local
paralysis, eczema and oilier diseases
or a local nature frequently follow."
Dr, Hose slated iliai il was only
two weeks ago thai lie received a
letter from an old friend, Prof. J. T.
Todd, professor of parasotology in
McGlll University, asking him if he
