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.

' VISIT THIS CITY
CY WARMAN,   OF   CONTINENTAL
FAME, HAS COME HERE, ACCOMPANIED  BY FRED
SHAFFER.
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.

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.

MONTH'S LOCAL CATCH OF HALIBUT
Nearly a Million and a Quarter Pounds of the Fish Brought Into Prince Rupert Harbor During a
Month's Time-At the Low Estimate of Five Cents a Pound There Was Nearly $70,000
Worth of Different Kinds Landed By Boats In This Port During Last 30 Days
In spite of the fact that the port
of Prince Rupert is only beginning
as a fishing centre, the record for
what may be regarded as the first
month of the halibut trade here is a
most gratifying one. 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.

THE SENATE'S ATTITUDE.
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.

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.

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-

fence of the King's Dominions. 1
speak not without warrant in this
regard. 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."

Andrew Kelly of the Canadian Fish
& Cold Storage Company's fleet had
her compasses adjusted, taking advantage of the presence of Captain
Newcombe of the William Jolliffe
being here at the time. A move is
being made to have points located
showing the true directions so that a
vessel may at any time, by taking
up a position suitable to the marks
that have been placed, test the compasses without trouble.
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. She
brought a considerable quantity of
coal for local dealers. While in port
the captain went before the shipping
master here and had his crew signed on as is necessary for all steamers. <
MAY WENT SOUTH.
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.

The    damages    to    the    steamer

Pacific fleet proved to be very light
and accordingly    she    left    Sunday
