I^IW^ I I Ptinu Unpad VOL. II. PRINCE RUPERT, B. C. TUESDAY, MAY 27, 1913 SIR GEORGE ROSS NAY ASSERT POWER Leader of Liberal Party in the Senate It Is Reported Nay Not Allow Amendment to Naval Bill -Measure Is Now in the Upper House-Will Be Disposed of This Week It Is Expected Ottawa, May 26.—The fate of the Naval Bill will be decided this week. Late this afternoon Senator Lougheed, the Conservative leader in the Senate, moved the second reading of the measure. What action the Liberal members of the chamber will take is still in doubt. Sir George Ross, the leader of of the Liberals iu the Senate, may not allow the suggested amendment to the measure, which is calculated to make the bill unacceptable to the Government. Three days of debate over the bill will likely follow after this introduction today when it will be settled one way or another. The feeling is growing that Sir George Rpss will assert his personal views with regard to the bill rather than allow the Liberal party in the House of Commons to dictate what shall be done by him and the Liberal senators. READING ROOM IS OPENED IN CITY THE MUNICIPAL BUILDING ON FULTON STREET, OPPOSITE THE CITY HALL, IS NOW- OPEN. Formal Ceremony Last Night Was ol a Very Simple Character— Quarters Are Very Comfortable. The municipal reading room has been opened and is now one of the features of the city. The formal ceremony was not of a very spectacular character. In a simple way, the reading room was thrown open to the public by the acting mayor, Aid. Naden. Short speeches were delivered, there, being present at the time a very considerable number of citizens. The arrangements in the hall are very comfortable for the amount that waB paid for the building. In the front part of the building is located the tables for the magazines and racks for the daily and weekly papers that are to be kept on file there. In the rear of the building there is a small room divided off, where the visitors may enjoy a smoke and also play checkers or chess. This is likely to be one of the best patronized of the rooms of the building. Following the opening ceremonies last evening the acting mayor and Principal Brady of the High School engaged in a game of checkers, Aid.. Naden carrying off the honors with little delay. Aid. Naden, the acting mayor, regretted that William Manson,M.P.P., and Blsfcop DuVernet could not be present, being absent from the city. He had great pride in taking part in the opening of the first reading room in the city. There were great difficulties in connection with the starting of a city like Prince Rupert. While there was a small population now, the city had to be laid out for a large city. The council had to prepare for 40,000 people, Instead of for a population of 5000. This made it difficult for the council to go in for needs such us rending rooms, playgrounds, swimming baths and other things. The council decided to do something in the way of a reading room. It was felt that the first need for busy men such as they had here was a reading room rather than a library. They would get the very best of literature here. Principal Brady of the High School paid a compliment to the work done by Rev. Mr. Kerr In the matter. Mr. Brady said that he recognized the need of this. The papers in the room written in various languages other than English showed what a cosmopolitan city this was. This was one of the most cosmopolitan reading rooms he had ever visited in the British Dominions. Mr. Basso-Bert, as a member of the committee, had worked hard. To the city council they were indebted. He alluded to the picture of Chi Michelsen, minister of state for Norway, which had been presented by Aid. Dybhavn. He felt that it was but fitting that such pictures should adorn the walls of the room. Provision was made for a smoking room with tables for chess and checkers. The magazines were of a high class. He pointed out the advantages of having a room where strangers in the city can come and enjoy the reading. This was but the beginning of a reading room which would keep Prince Rupert in the forefront. Rev. W. H. McLeod was sorry that Bishop DuVernet could not be present. He hoped this was but a stepping stone to the better public library that would come. He hoped to see the citizens take advantage of this reading room. Among the working men it was usual to find some of the best readers. This might be but the beginning of a demand for a public hall, where debates might be held. Recreation grounds were needed. He believed that the mayor might return with sufficient funds to provide for some of these things. He hoped that all classes would come in and enjoy the room. This should be a place where working men and business men might meet together. On behalf of the city council and the committee, Aid. Naden declared the reading room open to the public. ROCK MAN MET HIS DEATH IN TUNNEL CONRAD THOHSLUND DIED FROM INJURIES RECEIVED WHILE WORKING WITH BLAST. Funeral Will Take Place Today to Garden Island—The Deceased Was Terribly Mangled in Accident. A very distressing accident occurred to Conrad Thorsluud, of this city, on Sunday, which later resulted in his death. He was engaged in the work of driving tunnels for the final blasting down of the rock in; front of the Premier Hotel for the terminals of the Grand Trunk Pacific. A shot had been fired in the coyote that he was engaged in driving and Thorslund went in again with a lighted candle. Later he was picked up at the entrance of the tunnel. It Is presumed that the candle lighted off gases that had accumulated in the tunnel. He had dynamite in his pocket and this was also Ignited, with the result that he was terribly lacerated and torn. He struggled to the mouth of the coyote, however, and was there found by a fellow- workman. Taken to the hospital, everything was done that could be, but without success. He died early yesterday morning. Deceased was for some time a resident of Prince Rupert. He leaves a widow who is incapacitated from work from an accident that she met with some time ago. The funeral will take place this afternoon from Hayner's Funeral Parlors for Garden Island.

They Will Look Into the Sit nation and Give Out Results to the World Through Interesting Articles. The city is being vlsjted by two well-known publicity men this week. These are Cy Warman, one of the best known magazine and special writers on the continent, and P. Schaefer, of San Francisco, representing the Newspaper Enterprise Association. In this capacity he comes in touch with a very wide circle of readers, as his articles appear in dozens of periodicals. The two came in on Saturday, and after touring about the city they left on the Prince Rupert for Granby where they had the opportunity of seeing what the north had to offer in the matter of mining. Early this morning in company with W. C. C. Mehan, general superintendent of the Grand Trunk Pacific, they left by special train or the end of steel, so that the visitors may have the opportunity of seeing how the work is progressing and the character of country through which the line passes. They are expected to return to tho city this evening again and will spend the remainder of the week in the city getting copy. Both of the visitors are pleased with the city and its prospects. They realize from looking over the work that is going on here what the future of the city is to be and there is no question that as a result of the trip through the territory that lies within reach of the city there will be some valuable publicity articles appear in the various papers that are represented by Mr. Schaefer. The Leader of u/ Militant Suffragettes Was Taken Into Custody Yesterday As She Left Her House-She Signed With Others A Letter to the King Denouncing the Attitude of Parliament Toward Them Attended Church, The members of the local militia company paraded to church Sunday morning. Headed by the bugle band, the company paraded to the church looking exceedingly smart. «••*•***•*••* * SHIPYARD STRIKE. * MRS. PAMURST AGiffIN CUSTODY London, May 26.—.Mrs. Emme- line Pankhurst, the militant suffragette leader, who was recently released from gaol on license, was rearrested today as she was leaving her house. The woman, with her sisters of the Suffragette League, signed a letter to the King denouncing the attitude of Parliament toward them. The Staudard asserts that the militant cause is practically bankrupt. It claims to know the alleged huge war chest of the suffragetteB of over $500,000 is a gigantic bluff. Also that the alleged $75,000 subscribed at the last Albert Hall meeting consisted of dummy checks, there being only $4000 "in cash, and that the resources from the sale of militant papers and subscriptions are rapidly dwindling.

For the month that ended on May 25 there was taken from the sea outside the harbor here and brought into the port to be shipped out again or frozen for later consumption 1,210,200 pounds of halibut. This was exclusive of all the other varieties of fish that are coming in and which will, as time goes on, be very materially increased in volume. There was during the same time 121,500 pounds of salmon brought here and over 60 hundred weight of cod fish. In view of the fact that the Industry Is in its infancy here, these other varieties of fish are not being handled to the same extent, here that they will as time goes on. There has, in fact, been hardly a start made in the fishing line outside of the halibut. The month that has just been closed with May 25 is not a large onfe in the business either. There has during the time been a lot of bad weather which prevented the carrying on of operations at sea In dories to the same extent that it should otherwise have been carried along. The catch of fish, however, represents on the low average value of five cents a pound all round the sum of $66,S75. This is well on to $2250 a day for every day of the month. While the great bulk of, this has been brought to the works of the Canadian Pish & Cold Storage Company, there have been other smaller concerns that have been engaged in the business, notably the Atlin Pish- eries and the Haysport Company. With the completion of the railway as a through carrying line the amount of fish that will be dumped in here to be sent to the markets of the world will be increased^ by many times what It Is at the present. The industry that is to play such an important part in the building up of the city is certainly not lagging behind in its development. The plan! of the Canadian Fish & Cold Storage Company, which has been visited by all classes of people that have come here, is acknowledged to be the finest on the Continent of America, and probably of any In the world. G. Ii. Collins, the manager and the organizer of the company, lias accomplished wonders in the fitting up of the plant. He has assembled I here the best from all parts of the world and the result is an equipment that astonishes the most critical of the visitors. When the city of Prince Rupert has many industries like that which the Cold Storage represents at tho present, the amount of fish that will pass through the port will be a matter that it Is useless to speculate upon at the present time. Where thousands of pounds are now caught and landed here, there will be millions landed at that time, which Is now close upon tho city. Calgary, May 24.—Luther McCarthy, aspirant for the title of heavyweight fighter of the world, died here today, eight minutes after being struck a blow in the region of the heart in the first roujid of the battle with Arthur Pelkey. It was to have been a ten-round affair. Seven thousand persons witnessed the tragedy. The fa'tal blow was a terrific right, to the left side, just below the heart. He was first counted out by Referee Smith, before being removed. A squad of Mounted Police were ordered to have Tommy Burns, the promoter of the fight, arrested. He was taken five miles distant from here. Everyone connected with the fight are being arrested. 1 utlier McCarthy died in the ring from a chance blow delivered somewhere in the region of the solar plexus. The end of the battle came after one minute and forty-five seconds of fighting. There had been one or two mix-ups of an inconsequential character! then came a clinch. Referee Eddie Smith separated the men. Neither seemed tne worse for the clinch, but suddenly McCarthy was seen to double up in a crouching attitude. To the spectators it looked as though his crouch wa3 simply a fight pose. But he continued to go over, his eyes rolled in his head, then he collapsed and fell full length on the floor of the ring. The referee, assuming that he had been knocked out, siood over him to count off the fatal seconds. It was t.ie final count for the yonp_g champion. Arena Destroyed.

It would now appear that Sir George Ross, the leader of the Liberals in the Senate, may refuse to be dictated to with respect to his at titude on the naval question by the disgruntled defeated ones of the parly in the ranks who have been able to control the Liberals of the Commons. If Sir George and his immediate following in the Senate rise \above the petty feelings that have actuated the Opposition in the House of Commons there will be no doubt that the Upper Chamber will have done much to restore them to popular favor in the country at large. There are, of course, a number of party hacks in the Senate that will follow- any Instruction that comes from the party leaders in the House of Commons. There is, however, a body of men there who are not swayed to the same extent by the will of the Commons. How many senators will exercise their own free will in the matter is difficult to foretell. The debate, however, need not be expected to be long drawn out in that chamber. Government engineer, on his return to Vancouver made the statement that the line should be through in ono year's time. These men are in a position to know. Prince Rupert has to move quickly to be ready for that time. Meteorological Report, May 26, 5 p.m.—T3ai., 29.779; max., 53.0; min., 46.0; pree, .16. CHILDREN'S SPORTS HOTLY CONTESTED THE VOUNGEH PORTION OF THE POPULATION ENJOYED COMPETITIONS ON SATURDAY, Chief Vickers as General Manager Wus Happy Among (In- Pupils of tiie City Schools. THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE. While the Toronto . Globe and other Liberal papers have been shouting themselves hoarse over what they term "the unholy alliance between Premier Borden and the Quebec Nationalists," it is interesting to note that when it came to a matter of voting the Nationalists were found solid with The Liberals. So anxious was the Nationalist wing to show its accord with the Liberals that Mr. Guilbault, one of the leaders of the Nationalists was first on his feet to sectnd the motion of Sir Wilfrid Laurier for the six months' hoist to the Naval Bill. OFFERING LOANS. Undeterred by the city of Montreal comparative failure, the city of Victoria's loan of $400,000 i% per cents, will be offered shortly, but whereas the Montreal loan price was at par. Victoria is accepting 9f,. The enormous oversubscription of the Chinese Government loan at 5 per cent, at 90 shows that plenty of money is available if the price is sufficiently tempting. The amount available to the public was only £4 500,000, yet applications aggregated £60,000,000. THROUGH IN A YEAR.

NAVAL POLICY CONSERVATIVE PARTY PREMIER BORDEN IN TORONTO SHOWED HOW OPPOSITION HAD ACTED IN THE MATTER. How Obstruction Hud Characterized the Proceedings From the Start to the Finish. Premier Borden, in addressing the great gathering in 'voronto a week ago, placed the position or the Opposition in the House of Commons in a very clear light. The Prime Minister opened with the statement that all the privileges enjoyed by Canada today were entirely due to the fact that for the past century and a half Great Britain had been predominant on the high seas and that the condition of the whole Empire was the same today, and would continue to be the same for the future in which it was a century and a half ago, inasmuch as her very existence depended entirely on naval supremacy. Tracing the history of the Conservative party's attitude toward the participation of Canada in naval defence, the Prime .Minister said: "In 1910 I moved in the House of Commons a resolution that Canada should place at the disposal of the Admiralty two battleships, two armoured cruisers of the most powerful type, in November of the same year, I declared that if returned to power we would seek directly from the British Government, and es- pi.elally from the Admiralty, definite information as to the needs of the Empire in naval defence and that if satisfied of the need we would appeal to Parliament, and if necessary to the people, for immediate and effective aid. "In the campaign of 1911 1 made the same declaration In my opening speech in this province. No government ever had a more specific and direct mandate for any purpose than that of the present administration to perform this manifest duty. "We went to London, we conferred with the British Government, we consulted the authorities of the Admiralty, we received information of an exceedingly grave character, which in part has been made public in the memorandum of the Admiralty. "We asked from me Admiralty a plain, unvarnished statement as to the actual condition and to the needs. In the unpublished memorandum they "exposed to the people of Canada tho actual conditions and they especially emphasized two points: "First—That the aid which Canada could give at the present time is not to be measured in ships or money. As Mr. Churchill expressed it, any action on the part of Canada to increase the power and mobility of the Imperial navy and thus widen the margin of our common safety would be recognized everywhere as a most significant unit to the united strength of tbe Empire and to tbe determined resolve of the Overseas Dominions to take their part in maintaining its Integrity. "In further response to our inquiry they answered without hesitation and after prolonged consideration of all the circumstances that any aid which Canada might bring should include the provision of a certain number of the largest and strongest ships of war which science can build or money supply." Dealing With Sir Wilfrid. Dealing with Sir Wilfrid Laurier's attitude and the obstructionist tactics of the Opposition In Parliament, the Premier continued: "HOW did he meet our proposals? Not by any real desire to aid in meeting adequate conditions of gravity and urgency, bul by a speech of the same controversial character us thai at which lie had Introduced his own naval proposals in 1910, While tho map of Europe was being transferred by one of the most remarkable wars ot modern times, he was ready to give airy guarantee oi universal peace as if he were the mouthpiece of all the chancellories of tho world. "While so great a conflict was e'*n then being waged in Europe, that no man could measure the gravity of the impending developments, which even within the last mouth have imperilled the peace of the- j world, he thought it consistent with his duty to prattle of by-gone day to move indefinite and Impracticable amendments and to commit his pnrtj to the same policy of Indefinite .lc lay and procrastination and eva doi with which he lias met every efforl to bring about any real co-operation by Canada In the general naval de- (Oontlnued on last page.)

In 1902, 1907 and in 1911 .at' any and at every Imperial conference, he lias maintained the same recalcitrant and reactionary attitude against every proposal for co-operation by this Dominion In the common defence of our Empire. Same Spirit of Aloofness. "At each conference, as has well been expressed by a New Zealand statesman, there has been on his part the same spirit of aloofness when any proposal was under consideration and eloquent dissertations upon the importance of Canada's autonomy were always interposed when any such suggestion was put forward. What was there in our bill which involved the obstinate resistance that was encountered?" Mr. Borden found little that was good in the scores of amendments that were offered to the Naval Bill in the House of Commons, and reverting to the closing scenes when the third reading was made, he remarked: "One of the prominent Nationalists in the House vied with Sir Wilfrid Laurier for the honor of moving the six months' hoist. Sir Wilfrid won by a neck, but the Nationalist immediately arose and said that he seconded the motion. " 'Two souls with but a single thought; two hearts that beat as one,' " be paraphrased. Sir Wilfrid Laurler's naval policy, the Premier believed to be undis- guisedly of a separatist tendency. His attitude seemed to be that we were to be of the Empire in times of peace, but in times of strife we were to retire "within the lines of Torres Vedras." He and his government, said Premier Borden, had a high conception of the destiny of Canada within the Empire and they were acting honestly and courageously with a view -to the furtherance of that destiny. Action by Senate. The Prime Minister concluded with a reference toftthe probable action of the Senate on the bill. He said: "Our opponents loudly boast that even if the Naval Service Bill passes the House of Commons, it is to meet short shift in the Senate. Upon the probability or improbability of that result I venture to pronounce no opinion. "For the present, however, I deprecate the assertion made in many Liberal quarters that the majority of the Canadian Senate is merely an echo of a discredited minority in the House of Commons and that whenever Sir Wilfrid Laurier pulls the string the Liberal senators will dance as he desires. There are many men of high character and intelligence among the Liberal Senators and I entirely decline to believe that their action would be thus unworthily controlled. "Otherwise I would be prepared to declare that the Canadian Senate as at present constituted had thoroughly outlived its usefulness, and that an immediate remedy must be sought and fouud. The Senate is an important part of our constitutional machinery and is entitled to every respect, but it is not, never was, and never will be above the Canadian people."

LIGHT CATCHES. The continued rough weather for the past week or two has had the effect of cutting down the catches of the halibut boats plying out of here. There has been a loss of time on the part of the fishermen In consequence of the weather conditions and the boats have come in with correspondingly small takes. Tbe Andrew Kelly, one of the last in, brought only 56,000 pounds. BRITISH COLUMBIA CALLED. The coasting steamer British Columbia, Captain Volmers,' was in port during the week end.

The Princess May of the C.P.R. line, arrived last night from Skagway and left again about midnight for the south. MUST OBEY RULES. There has been a tendency on the part of some of the owners of small craft operating in these waters to evade the regulations relative to equipment. Owners of vessels who may not know what is ..required should make it a point to get in touch with the Customs House here or with the shipping master and port warden, Captain McCoskrie and ascertain what is required in all instances. By doing this they may avoid a lot of trouble later on. The intention is to enforce the rules and regulations strictly. There is now so much shipping being done in and about this harbor that it is imperative that there should be a strict adherence to the regulations. Instances have occurred where gasoline launches have not complied with the rules that are laid down with respect to lights and where accidents have been very narrowly avoided. It is advisable that owners of these small boats if they do not know what the requirements are should get in communication with the authorities. Mrs. Oakley was a passenger for tbe south yesterday morning by tbe Grand Trunk Pacific steamer Prince Rupert. G. A. McNicholl, superintendent of the Grand Trunk Pacific, has gone south on business in connection with the company. He will return on Saturday. W.

The damages to the steamer Prince Albert of the Grand Trunk Pacific fleet proved to be very light and accordingly she left Sunday morning again for Masset.
