MET DISASTER Winston Churchill Defeated TEACHERS;jWVENTIONo OFFICERS ELECTED FOR THE ENSUING YEAR (Special to The Dal'y News) Ottawa, April 24.—The premier this afternoon presented to the house the reply of the railway commission to the charges ot major Hodgins, who was dismissed from the position of engineer for the district of the Transcontinental at Kenora after three years' service. The.premier after reading the reply announced that he wouid move on Monday for a special committee of the house to look Into the whole matter. He laid on the table all correspondence on the matter. This shows friction over classification, the contractors complaining of not being fairly treated and of Hodgins' methods delaying work. Hodgins finally proposed, as the contractors were losing money, to abandon the contract altogether and allow the contr-icioftj the actual cust plus 10 per cent for profit. This the ommlssloners refused tJ accept and It was apparently the principal reason .for Hodgins' dismissal. Referring to the major's recently published letter, chairman Parent said : "There were Insinuations and statements in it which should not go unchallenged. Without laying specific charges the major made general accusations that were absolutely groundless and plainly intended to cause us annoyance without regard to the truth or the public interest. If the major had any evidence of irregularl- . ties or wrong doing, then he should have submitted them to the commission, and had they refused to look into them then he might be justified in making statements to the public." Taking up seriatim the allegations: 1. That the government .was. paying padded accounts for work done, the G. T. P. making no objection, as they have only the Interest to pay. Mr. Parent says this ls without foundation, the company making objection when they saw fit and their objections being looked into with due care. * 2. That the commissioners wanted to "change my Ideas founded on many years' experience." This also was without foundation. The Quebec classification was looked over and found agreeing with the contract and specifications and therefore perfectly regular. 3. That engineer Poulln was appointed by Mr. Parent and has allowed the Introduction of a classification simitar to the one in use In Quebec, this accounting for the increased cost, amounting to three or four millions. It was time-the public demanded an explanation. In the first place, Mr. Parent says, Poulln was appointed by the board on the recommendation of the chief engineer and not by Mr. Parent, and the classification comes from the chief engineer and not from the chairman of the commissioners. Since leaving Mr. Hodgins talked a good deal more openly, much more than professional dignity and a proper sense of justice, would seem to permit. There is an evident desire to. misrepresent* facts and it Is time In justice to the •; commlssoners to make this accuser Biib- ** stantiate the charges, therefore Parents' recommendation- for,a committee of the house. Newspaper clippings and correspondence attached to the -statement, include , one from chief engineer Lumsden deny- i Ing any padding so far aa he knows.

CYCLONE IN THE SOUTH MANY ARE KILLED AND MORE ARE INJURED VERY GREAT DAMAGE DONE TO PROPERTY Atlanta, Ga., April 24.—A wind of cyclonic proportions swept over portions of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama late today, leaving a trail of dead and injured. Tonight the number of killed is estimated at close to 20 and the Injured at over 100, with many portions of the afflicted districts yet to hear from. Most of the dead are negroes. Perhaps a dozen whites were caught in falling buildings and either fatally injured,or seriously disabled. The loss of lire was chiefly in the quarters of colored persons, where the wind destroyed their cabins and budied the occupants In the debris or.in the farming sections of the country, where trees were uprooted and telephone and telegraph potes torn up. Tonight it is difficult to estimate the loss of life op'the extent of the destruction of property for there is little or no communication with points where the wind does Its greatest damage. In Louisiana Is is estimated that a score of small towns were destroyed or partly wrecked. They Include; Amity City, Independence, Bellegrave, Melton, Lorman, Pine Ridge, Quitman Landing, Fair- child's Creek . Purvis and Lttmberton, Miss,, are reported seriously damaged by the storm. In Alabama Dora was the chief sufferer. This town is also known as Bergen. Four or more persons were killed, among them the wife and daughter of section master Moore. Fifty persons, at the lowest estimate, were injured. at Manchester DEADLOCK IS BROKEN Montreal, April 24.—A deadlock existing for the past 10 days between the Shamrocks and other clubs of the National Lacrosse union is practically at an end.

London, April 24.—-Canada has put a stop to the Indiscriminate emigration to the dominion by charitable organizations of the surplus population of London and other English -cities. During the past few weeks the Canadian immigration officials in London refused to give their sanction, which was required by the steamship companies for the Immigration of 50 persons whom the Church army proposed to send over, and the offlcals have been taken to task by the bead ot that organization for their refusal. The Immigration representative of Canada here replied that Canada would \ accept only those whose fitness as set-j tiers he Is assured of. The recommen/ dutlons of workers amongst the poor, that those they proposed to tend are fit and proper persons, will not be accepted. If, as in the case ol' the Salvation Army emigrants. It can be shown that each haa work io go ty, th;re w.li be no interference as long as the emigrants are physically and morally fit, but otherwise something further than an assurance that an emigrant is worthy of assistance must be forthcoming. This policy has been rather severely criticized in England by those who believe that Canada owes it to the empire to take those who cannot And work here but her representatives are waiting until there is a greater demand for labor before campaigning a movement Canada- ward of men without means.

THOUSANDS Winnipeg, April 24.—A special from Chicago says: The rush of settlers to Canada has increased in such volume as to attract wide attention in this section. Incoming trains for the past week have been crowded. These northward 'settlers are en route either to Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, and most of them are accompanied by their families and household effects. They are as a rule well equipped, intelligent people of the farming element. The movement is being treated editorially by the Cblcago papers. The Tribune today says: "Many farmers are crossing the line of the United States into the western parts of Canada. The movement has attracted widespread attention. It has been encouraged by systematic work of publicity aud promotion. The boomer has used all sorts of advertising devices to emphasize the advantages of the new country. Tnat his services have been effective is undoubted. The outflow of population is more spectacular than the Inflow. It causes alarm ln the minds bf many, because it Is the same sort of movement that accomplished so much in the development of the United States. Tne Wfcflt, in changing localities, was largely built up by settlers from the east, this latter term also being a movable one, Because or the knowledge that this splendid citizenship Is being last, Americans Will regret lhat th*; restless search for new lands is carrying the pioneers across the boundary lut/j Canada. "The toss of good American stock is to be regretted, but (the movement means progress. It means harmonious relationship between the northern states and the Canadian northwest, it means the development, of a new region by splendid citizens. It means the betterment of conditions by those whose 'a- thers and grandfathers sought the same thing by western migration, in this Instance the United States loses as the older states lost before."

SU8TAINPRICE No Margin of Profit in the Present figures ASSOCIATION LUMBERMEN COST OP LUMBER CANNOT BE REDUCED — PETITION DOMINION GOVERNMENT NOT TO ENFORCE CLAUSE 12 OP TIMBER REGULATIONS ACT. A large representation of the Mountain Lumbermen's association met in the parlors of the Hume hotel yesterday to discuss the general condition of the lumber Industry. Incidentally were also brought up the action or the dominion government in enforcing certain regulations as to license holders and the question of prices was also taken up thoroughly. A very full discussion of the general > situation of the Industry took place and the matter of supply and demand was fairly considered, It was asserted by a large percentage of the lumbermen tiiat they did not intend to start up their mills before the end of next month or until tbe crop conditions in the northwest, were very further advanced and some idea could he had of the harvest. In nny event it was conceded that the output would be considerably under that or last year, both as to logging and as to manufacture. The stocks on hand were all produced under conditions of high priced labor and it was generally stated by the lumbermen as a well konwn fact that there was no margin of profit in selling this lumber at present prices, especially when together with the cost of labor are considered the high rates of interest and the fixed charges accumulating on stocks carried over from last year. Hence there was no change made in the present price list. Prices are thought likely to be firm with a probable advance in the near future. A strong delegation from the coast' mills attended the meeting of the Mountain lumbermen in the afternoon to discuss the action of the dominion government in regard to Clause 12 of the Timber Regulations Act. This insists on license holders erecting a sawmill on their limts within six month and cutting; 100,000 feet yearly for every square mile of timber land held under license. This was felt to be an injustice as there was no market opening of any extent in the northwest and in all probability there would nol be until such time as the harvest in those provinces had been secured. Hence a strong resolution was passed against the proposed action and a petition memoralizlng tbe government is being drawn up praying that such action be deferred until the conditions of the market warranted such enforcement. G. O. Buchanan, president of the Associated Boards of Trade, addressed the meeting upon the subject of forest preservation and kindred topics, his remarks being listened to with great interest, A NEW YORK BROKER FAILS New York, April 24.—The well known brokerage firm of T.

C. A. KINO, M.D. with his Instruction. One of tbe delegates to the convention, Mr, Sldley, of Anarchist Mountain, was known to have a grievance and to be personally opposed to Mr. Ross' nomination because of that grievance. The Province man learned of this snd Immediately hunted up Mr. Sldley, got his story, and upon it based a report calculated to deceive the public and create the Impression that the convention was Inharmonious and that Mr. Duncan Ross had not the confidence of the liberal party. The Province story was wholly misleading and in a very targe measure false. Yet this story has been reproduced in practically every tory newspaper In the province, with flaring headlines, Intimating that the liberals of Yale-Cartboo were divided and that Duncan Ross had not their confidence. The fact that Mr. Sldley had a grievance Is not denied, but his grievance was not of such a character aB to reflect upon Mr, Robs as the member for Yale- Cariboo, or upon the policy of the Laurier administration. Mr. Sldley's grievance dross from the fact that the V. V. A E. Ry. does not run through his ranch at the point that he desired. Mr, Sldley Ignores 'the fact that Duncan Rosa' light In the railway committee, ln which he encountered the bitter opposition ot the solid conservative party, secured the construction of the railway, one result of which was to enable Mr. Sldley to sell out at a big figure, and persists in holding Mr. Ross responsible for the fact that the right-of-way of the railroad did not traverse his ranch Just where he desired. The mere statement of Mr. Sldley's grievance will suffice to show its utter worthleBsness as a cause for tbe political extinction of Mr. Ross. Yet this personal grievance of a single individual ls magnified and twisted into an evidence of lack of confidence In Mr. Ross and ot division in the ranks of the liberals of Yale-Cariboo. As a matter of fact this cowardly attempt to Injure Mr. Duncan Ross will have the effect of strengthening him with his constituents . The liberal convention was largely attended and every man present knows how entirely harmonious the proceedings were and what a splendid reception, Mr. Ross received and they will to a man resent the publication In the tory presB of utterly false accounts thereof. However; there is a larger view ot this case than its purely local effect. The tory press ls just now busily engaged In calling our for purity ln politics and this case presents one of the grossest instances of impurity In'politics that could be conceived ot. . If ever a public man met with an unqualified expression of public confidence that was Duncan Robs' experience at the Vernon nominating convention. He waa entitled, even from his political opponents, to credit for this. Public lite In Canada has very few rewards and public men 'are subjected to so much abuse and misrepresentation, that when In unmistakable manner and with a quite spontaneous enthusiasm a great constituency like Yale-Cariboo goes on record as being entirely satisfied with the parliamentary conduct of Its' representative, the ot the country, regardless of party at- Shiloh's Cure Cures Coughs and Colds QUICKLY Use Shiloh's Cure 'for the worst cold, the sharpest cough —try it on a guarantee of your money back if it doesn't actually CURE quicker than anything you ever tried.

SIS filiations, should be fair and honest enough to report the facts, If It make,: any pretense at all of covering the situation' in Its news columns. We can heartily congratulate Yale- Cariboo .-on the candidates nominated to contest the coming dominion campaign. On the one hand there is Mr. Duncan Ross, the liberal nominee, who has a splendid record ot good work done for the constituency, who Is the supporter bt an administration that has done big things for the west and ln particular for the constituency ot Yale-Cariboo, an administration that will undoubtedly be continued in office by the Canadian electorate. On the other hand there is Mr. Martin Burrell, the nominee of the con servative party, a man of line parts, eminently well fitted to fill an honorable place In any representative body, a man who will' fight fair and discountenance everything that savors of crookedness. There will be a keen, clean contest in Yale-Cariboo. It will be seen by today's despatches that sir Wilfrid Laurier Is acting with commendable promptitude and in an entrely proper manner In reference to the Hodglngs' charges. Last fall when major Hodglngs returned to Nelson we endeavored to secure from him a statement of the facts he complained of in connection with the work on the Trans- Continental,' our object being to publish the same and demand an Investigation. At that time major Hodgins was not prepared to make any statement and tbe reasons he gave appeared to bs entirely satisfactory, ln fact, throughout this affair, major Hodgins' course has been, in our opinion, governed by ,*SUptrTlatt ihatWian*\ tu tttilt of d«lgs, 1111111111 Salit awl Jonj met spoons, khImi, forts, etc., ara unexcelled.

Taiennou n. mining men on. a visit to thb 'boundary (Special to The Dally News) Orand Forks, April 24.—Alter taking a couple of weeks' rest after his 18 months' tour of the mining camps of Nevada and California, John Rogers, a pioneer mining man of the Boundary and formerly superintendent of the Pathfinder mine, accompanied by Henry Couteur, of Grand Forks, will leave today for the Findlay river mining district. They will go in by way of Ashcroft, where they will secure a complete pack outfit. The residents of this district will watch with much interest for any news that may come from Mr. Rogers relating to the proposed rich finds en Findlay river as he ls regarded as a most conservative and reliable mining man. Several well known mining properties in this district will resume operations at once, after being idle during the winter months. It Is stated today that representatives of the Vancouver company which holds a working bond on the Golden Eagle property at Volcanic mountain will arrive here this week from the coast and will proceed to the Golden Eagle mine with a force of miners, to continue development work all summer. Following this comes the word that the Wolfred group of claims on Fourth of July creek will also start up an aggressive form of development work. In^ addition to these, the Sunset on Hardy mountain and several claims In 'Summit camp as well as on Pass creek will start work again, so that from present appearances the summer In mining circle.! will be anything but a quiet one. Dr. Appleton, of Spokane, one of the principal owners of the Little Bertha property at Bannock City, 12 miles up the north fork of Kettle river, accompanied by a party ot some 10 Spokane business men, arrived here a few days and left at once for the Bertha property. i They were accompanied to the property by Dr. C. M. Kingston and E. Lane, chief electrician at the Granoy smelter, who are also interested ln the property. It Is stated that this tour of the Spokane party ls preparatory to their becoming Interested In the mine. It ls learned that the visitors to the Bertha were more than pleased, several of the party remarking that the claim had all the earmarks of a mine. The very next undertaking at this property will likely be the erection of a 10-stamp mill. MORE NOMINATIONS Slmcoe, April 24.—North Norfolk conservatives have nominated H. Pinnes for the legislature.

Young la chief of tlie Nelson police force and Robert Re\A lias been permanently appointed patrolman. Tha police commissioners, I1I3 worship mayor Taylor, Aid. Geo. Steed and Wm. Irvine, met at the city ball at 8 o'clock last night. Thero were some six or more applicants for tbe vacant clfiefshlp. On motion of Wm. Irvine, seconded by Aid. Steed, acting chief Charles XV. Young was made tlie permanent chief of tlie force. Robert Reid, who bas been acting us patrolman for some time wiia put on the force permanently and tile meeting waa quickly over and adjourned. The new chief Is well and favorably known throughout tbls city and tbe Kootenay country generally. He came to B.C. from Manitoba in 1895. He joined the B.C. brigade of garrison artillery at Victoria as gunner of No. 3 company, and was subsequently .awarded a sliver cup for general efficiency in handling the big guns. Being a graduate of South Kensington school of art, ho worked as an artist and taxidermist at Victoria until the spring of 1897, when he Joined the provincial police forces as a constable and wns stationed at Wellington, Vancouver Island. In 1898 be was transferred to Howser in the Kootenay police district during the construction of the Lardeau-Gerrard line and was subsequently Btatloned at Procter during tlie construction of the branch from Nelson. In 1900 he was moved to the head office of the Kootenay police district at Nelson and served under chief constable . Bullock-Webster continuously until the fall of 1907, when he left the service. During the absence of chief constable Bullock-Webster at Victoria, where that official was acting as superintendent of provincial police in 1904. Mr. Young was In charge of this district as chief constable for seven months and his services were highly praised by the acting superintendent and he was thanked by the attorney general's department. Interviewed last night after Mr. Young's appointment, Mr. Bullock-Webster said that in his opinion the police commissioners of Nelson and the citizens in general were to be congratulated upon having secured for their chief of police, an officer who was' one of the most efficient, courteous and plucky men in the police service in British Columbia and that after 15 years' service himself, he felt in a position to form an opinion of Mr. Young's qualities. He believed now that police affairs would continue to run along as smoothly as they did under the long and efficient service of ex- chtef Jarvifl. "The public should always bpar in mind," concluded Mr. Bullock-Webster, 'Jthat a police officer's position is at all times a very difficult one to fill satisfactorily, and an efficient, honest official, as I know Mr. Young to be, should receive generous assistance in the faithful discharge of Ills duty."

SATURDAY .- ,; APRIL 26. ! w^hrf £&<&/ Economy COMBUSTION taking place in tho dome or top chamber of furpnce fire-pot is the result of air and heat mingling with fumes. This combustion produces heat-energy, which the radiating surfaces above and around fire-pot absorb or draw in and then deflect or throw off. Incoming cold air receives this heat- energy, the result being heated air. Now, if the combustion takes plate at a faster rate than the radiating surfaces can absorb and deflect, the surplus heat-power will pass up tbe chimney or into cellar—a waste of coal. There Is no waste of coal in "Sunshine" Furnace. Circuit of radiator is so. complete, andajr- clrculatiiig space so large, that every bit of "heat-energy'ls quickly ahsorbcdaiid[quickly deflected on the circulating cM_^aW,__i__ Is Uius quickly heated and ascends through the hot-air pipes to rooms above. The check-draft of a furnace is situated on the smoke-pipe. When this draft is closed— especially on an "ordinary" furnace—heat particles can escape up chimney. When check- draft is opened the incoming cold air from the cellar drives ull heat particles back into furnace proper. If the grates and fire-pot of furnace are not constructed properly, there's a clogging and gathering of ashes, and fire does not. burn up readily. If no provision is made for gas escape, the check-draft must be left closed indefinitely— a toaate of coal. There Is no waste of coal In "Sunshine" Furnace. No clogging can take place In the 4-pl0ce grate, no ashes can gathet on the straight fire-pot walls, and the automatic Gas Damper makes every provision for the escape of gas; consequently, check-draft can be opened shortly after coaling and all heat-energy saved for radiation. M made because there were so many ot these serious Interruptions. However, the C.P.R., with Its customary energy, lias had large gangs ot men at work on the roadbed and liaH been rapidly getting things Into shape once more. D. C. Coleman, the superintendent, haB been on the gfuund, personally directing operations, with the assistance ot his roadmaBters and section foremen. For the time being traffic was completely paralyzed. Wliile the Great Northern has had some minor Interruptions to traffic, like small slides, aside from the going out of the bridge over Sheep creek ,near Rossland, there lias been nothing serious on that line, and trains have been running nearly on time dniing the flood period.

Read liow strongly Mr. Dingwall comes out in favor of "Fruit-a-tives.•* Williamstown, Ont., April 5th., 1907. I have much pleasure in testifying to the almost marvellous benefit I have derived from taking "Fruit-a-tives." I was a life long sufferer from Chronic Constipation aud the only, medicine I ever secured to do me any real good was "Fruit-a-tives." This medicine enred me when everything else failed. Also, last spring, I had a severe attack of bladder trouble with kidney trouble, and "Fruit-a-tives" cured these complaints for me, when the physician attending me had practically given me up. I am now over eighty vears ol age and I can stronghly recommend "Fruit-a-tives" for Chronic Constipation and bladder and kidney trouble. This medicine ia mild like fruit, is easy to wkc, but most effective iu action. 14?

He appeared before the magistrate yesterday morning for u preliminary hearing nnd after the taking of some Important evidence the case wus adjourned. Another Important industry will soon be In operation here, the new brick works having been nearly completed and ready for business, The works will be a- valuable acquisition to Ft.inle, adding crmsldeiably to the already respectable payroll disbursed every month. Chief Pcnnywlck of the city police torce had the misfortune to sprain his ankle rather badly yesterday and will be confined to his room for a few days. The roads in this district are a disgrace to the government, the one between here and Hosmer being in a particularly bad condition and unsafe for traffic. The amount of money paid by the district Into the coffers of the provincial treasury entitles it to more consldeiation and better treatment at thu hands of the government and it is a pity they cannot te made feel their responsibility.
