NAVAL ENTHUSIASM PERVADES GERMANY Estimates Passed With Large Increase—Powerful Fleet Is Regarded as Indispensible to the Future of the Country—Immense Increase of Four Hundred Thousand Pounds NO TRACE OF TRAIN BANDITS DILIGENT SEARCH WAS MADE YESTEHDA. FOR THREE MEN WANTED. Adjacent Islands of the (iiilf Ale Also Being Diligently Sea relied. Bellingham, Feb. 23.—All day yesterday the hunt for the two bandits who, near Samish, murdered the three passengers on the Great Northern train, was continued without success. Enticed by the large reward offered by the company for the capture of the murderers alive or dead, hundreds of men and boys tramped through the woods and patrolled the r-Ain roads and bridges, while armed deputies searched out among the adjacent islands of the San Juan group. It is thought the bandits escaped by boat and took refuge on Sucie Island. Deputy Sheriff Bowden has closely examined the sbore-line, but has not been able to find a trace of any boat nor of anyone landing. o Death of li. Sinpleton. . The death occurred" yesterday morning in Victoria of J. B. Staple- ton, an old resident of that city. The deceased has been ailing for some time. Two daughters are well known in this part of the province. They are .'Irs. Robert Johnson, of Inverness, and Mrs. Fr<d Rudge, of Port Essington. Both of them were at his bedside when he passed away. Mrs. Johnson reached Victoria Sunday morning. O London, Feb. 23.—Beilin telegrams say that a wave of naval enthusiasm has been sent rolling over Germany. The latest parliamentary triumph of Admiral Von Tipitz was reached in the Reichstag on Saturday. The House passed the 1913 naval estimates showing an increase of £400,000. The opinion is expressed that in view of the overwhelming majority that the temporary improvement in the Anglo-German relations may not be permitted to continue for any time. The influence of the German naval policy is to establish the sentiment that a powerful fleet is regarded as indispensable iu ensuring Germany's future. o SEWEIt MAY BE PUT IN ON BORDEN STREET REBELS WRECKED TROOP TRAIN OVER FIFTY PERISH WHEN MEXICAN SOLDIERS ARE BEING SENT OUT.

At the meeting of the council last night a report recommending that a sewer be provided on Borden Street was referred to the city engineer for report. At the previous meeting of the council it was pointed out in a verbal report of the health committee that there were three aldermen living on the street and if their services were of any value to the city a sewer was essential. It was recommended also by tlie health committee that the city engineer be relieved entirely of this department and that it be placed under the charge of the new health inspector. This was acted upon. L. J. Conkey, of the Foley, Welsh and Stewart staff at New Uazelton, is in the city. PLASTERING STARTS TODAY THE NEW PREMIER PROGRESSING WELL TOWARDS COMPLETION.

It consisted of M. M. Stephens, D. 0. Stewart, A. II. Harris and A. II. Tomllnson, the Provincial Government horticulturist, The deputation asked for the removing of restrictions in the matter of using water for lawns In the dry weather of summer and also assistance in buying n stumping machine for the city, The requests nn' with favorable consideration and n formal request in writing will be made. M. M, Stephens, speaking lor the Society, explained that they were there to ask for two things. The organization sought to do something towards beautifyng the city, Later they might ask for some scheme for beautifying the hillsides that at piesent were unsightly. This was not going to be asked for yet, however, until tiie city was in better shape. The Society sought to encourage the beautifying of the grounds about thi. homes In the city. It was proposed with the help of A. H. Tomlinsbn, the provincial horticulturist, to issue a monthly bulletin giving Information on the best varieties to plant and other information. This would take about all the funds available. It was proposed to ask that during i the dry months of the summer that the restrictions with respect to the use of ,-ta ml pipes on lawns should not be pressed. The water used would not be great, and it was felt that in beautifying the lawns (hey were add- I ing to the city. The Society proposed also to get 1 ii stumping machine which could be renti d out to those w ho deslri d to clear their lots. This was rather j more than the Society could handle Itself, Mr Tomllnsor, corroborated the statements of Mr, Stephens. He said thai the cheapest machine for stumping would cost aboui $200. The citizens had shown groat Interest in ithis. He fell thin the council might well back them up, Gardening was | difficult here, but it would be attended with good result.-'. Prince Rupert could grow many plants, it I would not have ihe cutting winds I that Victoria had. The conditions compared very favorably with those in Vancouver. Aid. Morrlssey as acting mayor i said that he felt very favorably inclined to the proposition. The city 'engineer had said that be thought there would be no difficulty In | granting free water. With respect to the stumping machine, he also favor- It Is Proposed to Call For Tenders For a Launch For the Service- Only One of These Craft Will Be Allowed to Operate on That Body of Water-Plan Adopted By Council The subject of a launch for Sha-0 watlans Lake to. do the towing in connection with the putting in cl the pipe line there came before the city council last evening. A report was received from the city engineer in which the offer of Captain Swan- sou to put a launch on the lake was referred to. Several other launch men had applied as well. The engineer suggested that the city put a scow on the lake and call for tenders for a launch to be put on the lake. One should be awarded the privilege. Aid. Kerr asked why it was proposed that only one boal be allowed on the lake. Aid. Maltland said there would not be enough work for more than one boat. Aid. Morrison wished to know if the city could control the boats on the lake. The city had a right to the flow of water from the lake, but he doubted if the city could say that boats could not ply on it. Aid. Dybhavn thought that the city had the right to prohibit boats from navigating there. The city engirteer in reply to a question said that the city would have 1200 tons to carry on the lake. Aid Kerr pointed out that what he wanted to know was whether the station men getting in supplies would be protected as to rates. The engineer said that he under- NO AID GIVEN BY DOMINION Silt WILLIAM MACKENZIE OF Till: CANADIAN NORTHERN REFUSED GRANT. I Continued on Last Page.)

Ottawa, Feb. 23.—It is stated here on good authority that Sir William Mackenzie, head of the Canadian Northern Railway, who is here at present, has been advised that for the immediate present the question of further Government aid to the Canadian Northern Railway should be dropped. It may be dealt with later In the session. Sir William has been given to understand that any attempt to pass such legislation tinder present conditions would be impolitic. The hope is expressed that prospects may lie brighter as the session advances. o .

Tuesday, February 24, 1914 PRAISE FOR SOCIALIST. ,\'ot long ago ihe Liberal party In British Columbia had nothing but abuse for the Socialist members in the Legislature. Now with the Liberals completely routed from that body and the Socialists the sole representatives of un opposition there is very fulsome praise being bestowed upon Parker Williams by the Liberal press. A while ago the Socialist, leader was everything vile. Now, it would appear, be has suddenly become brilliant. PRIM E RUPERT'S CLIMATE. A study of throughout the time affords an opportunity to learn that Prince Rupert is one of the most favored spots in point of weather in North America. We have before us the records for about a week ago. It shows that Prince Rupert bar, been Laving at the warmest period of tho day practically the same temperature as San Francisco. It is, moreover, the only other city on the Coast that has had this favored conditio.. Taking February 17, Prince Rupert' high! I temperature was 58, which was the same as San Francisco. Victoria, tho came day, had as its highe pary 38, Tunto 2" 14 Again conditions pert and •' ha . A lected. 1 tin ■ si ■ - aff tirs. 1 weather-beaten wrecks cast forth a suffering groan from the shores of Prince Rupert, one an ex-mayor aud one an ex-preacher, and both exhausted in their efforts to separate themselves from their entanglements of slime and political mire. In their efforts to resurrect themselves, like all drowning people, they care not who else they may drag down to ob- mo has seen fit to elect for six coning from this forlorn hope, we find the ex-mayor and the ox-preacher making rantic efforts to bury Mr. Wm. Manson midst their own slimy surroundings, It is more than re- gretlable to see a pantomime of such talent seeking to fasten its poisonous fangs around one of Xa- ture's gentlemen, In scurrilous attacks by any one or group ot men upon a man of Mr. Manson's sterling character and Integrity whom ihe province lias seen fit to appoint to more than one position of trust, ever faithfully performed, whom Nanai- moh as seen fit io elect for six consecutive times for their mayor, the first Government Agent in Prince Ruperl, honorably filled the mayor's chair in this city, and tbe people of Skeena District have imposed confidence in him for iwo consecutive terms;' such a record is no doubt held in an envious light by small, egotistical minds. It savors bad from a man that at the late municipal campaign openly avowed himself to have no political party affiliations, purely and simply Independent; and the ink was scarcely dry on the election returns announcing his defeat for mayor when lie at once rode jon the front seat in the band wagon of Liberalism, and now benignly the temperatures j serves as the president of the Lib- continent at this | era] Association, and his colleague, the ex-preacher, groaning under the labors of muck-raking everything from a glacier in McNlcholl Creek to a muskeg hole in Cloyah Creek to find refuse to fire at Bowser. Oh, pity it is to have to take passage in a craft manned and officered by such a crew of mutineers. Many a golden hope has been blasted between the hills of the Yukon and the Parliament buildings at Victoria, and history is fast shaping itself to be repeated. As a Liberal of the old school that stood out in bold relief when Liberal knighthood was In bloom I can only stand by with my good old friend Bill Lynch and bow a gallant head in shame at the unprincipled methods, the disreputable political ambitions and the want of the simplest form of political diplomacy now in practice.

IN mid Yesterday morning a start made with the hearing ot the alleged gambling case by Police Magistrate Carss. All was proceeding well, with convictions in the different cases called, when L. W. Patmore appeared on a hurry-up call from one of the men and immediately upon his arrival the situation changed. The arrival of counsel resulted In exception being taken to the procedure, with the result that an adjournment was taken until today to allow of the consulting of authorities. About four or five of those who were in the Two Star Hotel when line. He could not consent to undo what had been done. .Mr. Patmore wanted to know what the evidence was against the men. The magistrate said they had admitted the offense and on that admission lie had fined them. Mr. Patmore wanted to know if i (hey pleaded guilty. Magistrate Carss said that he had nsked the question as to their being guilty or inn guilty. The offenders had not pleaded either way, but had started in and explained what was w:ls'done. On that admission he had found them guilty. Mr. Patmore objected that this was not the proper course lo follow under British practice. The accused should plead. Mis Information was that the men were prepared to plead "not guilty." Having done that, the evidence should be produced on which lo convict them. The magistrate felt thai his course had been a correct one. He had no diiubt as to the guili Of the men. If this were allowed lo go on il would lead to further troubles in the illy. He consented, however, to adjourn SIR WILFRID AND TRANSCONTINENTAL HOW FORMER PREMIER MISLED THE PEOPLE OF CANADA ON SUBJECT. Charges In Connection With Railway Will Be Six Times Wliat He Represented. the police made the raid on Saturday, ,„„ casea untii the ,,ex, nav ,„ „)i0,v night, were convicted by the police magistrate, who, from what was told by those who were there playing, concluded that there was a technical violation of the Acl and that they were gambling in the house. It was admitted by tbe men that there were aboul five tables al which games wire played with cards. The loser had treated the v. ole table either to sofl drinks or ti cigarB generally. The owner ul the house was fined $25. ii was jnsi in thai stage of the game that Mr. Patmore arrived, having been sent for by ihe men incused. He enquired Into Hie proceedings as far as they had gone and at once took exception. The magistrate said thai If there was any dissatisfaction with the results that an appeal could be taken. He was convinced that there was a breach of the law. He had felt, however, that the men did not know- that they were breaking the law in the matter und accordingly he had imposed the lowest fine he had ever 111 ted for gambling, $5.00, Including costs. Had ho been convinced that these men knew what they wire doing In violating the law he would have inflicted a much heavier the points raised by Mr. Patmore to hi- looked into, HANDLING FREIGHT ON SHAWATLAN (Continued from Page One.) stood tiii.- would he Included in the city's supplies. The advisability of having Hi launch required n> carry city officials like the engineer while on duly was raised and ii was suggested that Mils he Included In the contracl entered into. The report was adopted, Road Decking, Tenders for fir decking for plank roadways in t'm city were opened at the council meeting last evening. Two tenders were received. The Weslholine Company's bid for $18.80 was awarded the contract. Prince tvuperi Lumber Company bid $19.oo a thousand. Buy a lot in Port Edward before the railway Is completed. Sir Wilfrid Laurier's promise that the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway would cost the people of Canada only $13,000,000 has often been quoted and sometimes misrepresented. What the former premier said in Parlia- | ment was that "the sum total of the money to be paid by the Govern- ■ ment for the construction of that i line from Moncton to the Pacific I Ocean will be In the neighborhood j of twelve or thirteen million dol- | lai'H and not a cent more." Sir Wilfrid did not claim that the eastern section would be built for that much money. One government estimate was $53,000,000, and a higher one ] was $61,000,000. This was to include ja large part of the cost of the Que- I bee Bridge, Sir Wilfrid was contend- [ Ing that final Government (lability i would be only seven years' Interest nn the cost. All ihe rest would he borne i>y the company, The country is now in a position in check up Sir Wilfrid's statement on his own Interpretation. The east- cm section will have cost at the end of this year $101,000,000 to which we may add, as Sir Wilfrid did, the Interest during construction, brlng- lolal above $180, ,000, Seven years' simple Interest at four per rem. on this sum Is $50,400,000. Two-fifths of the ciisi nt' the Quebec Bridge, Included by Mr. Fielding In Ills estimate, Will add some $7,000,- 000, Iii addition $6,000,000 In casn has been paid in respect to the western section under the famous "Implement" clause by which the late government undertook to make up lo the company all that it should lose by selling lis three per cent, bonds at a discount. This amount would have been much larger but for the tact that the present government Is itself buying tiie guaranteed bonds at. par to escape paying one-fifth of their face valjie to the company. The loss by this purchase will he another $."i,- 000,000, but leaving this out we have an amount six times I hat which Sir Wilfrid declared would be the utmost cent of direct liability. This supposes that, the Grand Trunk Pacific Company will take over the railway at the cost and carry out the undertaking according to a contract, paying interest after seven years on the total expenditure by the government. The fixed charges against the company will be over $5,000,000 a year ou the Eastern section alone —or about $3000 per mile—which is, we believe, more than double those of any other Canadian railway. To Allot Stations. At the council meeting last evening it was announced that six stations had been laid off on the pil>e line of the hydro-electric proposition. There were about twelve gangs that had applied for stations. It was proposed to have these draw for places. Wain Itecognitloii. The British Columbia t'nion Steam Engineers wrote the cou cil last evening asking that they be recognized as was done in southern cities. The organization represented itselt as purely Canadian. The letter was referred to the board of works. Wants Walks and Water. H. E. Gampp petitioned the council last night for a plank walk where he was building. This was referred to the board of works. He also desired water beyond Conrad Street. This was also referred to the committee. Coal Weighing. A report from the city purchasing agent last night relative to weighing coal was referred to the board or' works for report. The means of securing a weigh-man had been referred to Mr. Brooksbank, who suggested as the only solution that someone be allowed to put up a stand for magazines, etc., there and work the weigh scales on a commission. o— • Telegraph to .Smithers. P. W. Dowling, district superintendent of the Dominion Government Telegraph Service, returned on Sunday from a trip along the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific as. far as Telk- wa. He reports the weather good In the interior and it was reported that work was going along well on the railway line. A telegraph connection from the main line of the Dominion Government wire to Smthers is now being given. Electric Light Gives Revenue The report of the Electric Light. Plant for the month of January showed a nei revenue to the city of $2750.77. The report which was presented last night at the council meeting showed the following: EXPENDITURES. Labor. Material. Total. General ion $842.20 $2667.15 $3409.6,ri Maintenance 184.60 116.47 301,07 General expenses 476.75 17i.0ii 652.80 Sinking fund and interest 556,93 Total operating expenses ?ii010.4fi REVENUES.

At the council meeting last evening a petition was presented by users of city electric power, day load, asking that It bo reduced from 9 cents to 6 cents per k.w. hour. In Vancouver as low as 2 cents was secured. This was referred to the light committee. o Liable to Arrive. In reply to a question put by Aid. Morrison as to the movements ot the mayor, Aid.
