Try One, per word NO LIGHT YET Kinrade Murder is Still a Mystery INQUEST IS SENSATIONAL QUESTION OF WHO MURDERED ETHEL KINRADE IS STILL UNANSWERED—SISTER FAINTS IN WITNES8 BOX UNDER CROSS- EXAMINATION. the arrival of the man, whom she al leg-es did the shooting and the story of what followed was given in detail fwlth few additions. For instance, when the man grabbed her as she was getting out of the window, she thinks she must have fainted as she cannot remember what happened. She told Mr. Blackstock that the idea that she had fainted had just come to her. She did not see Ethel and) all the blood un til she came back into the house after going into the yard. It was then tha1: the man fired at her and she ran out of the front, door. The noise that she heard when she was upstairs getting the money she took to be an explosion of the furnace gag pipe' and she did not connect it with the man downstairs. This finished the examination and the Inquest was adojurned until next Frl day. The Kinrade family have been locked out of their house since their return from Toronto. Their lawyer complain ed to crown attorney Washington and he ordered the police to hand over the keys of the house at once, HAMILTON, March 13—The most dra. .malic Incident in the Kinrade Inquest occurred last night. Florence Kinrade ihad been on thP stand for some time undergoing a gruelling examination at the hands of (Mr Blackstock. Finally the lawyer said slowly and impressively: '^Antf if the man was not there only two girls would be there In the house, Miss Klnrade7" "Yes." "That will be all" said Mr. Blackstock and the girl sank back unconscious. A policeman attempted to force water between her lips and a trained nurse was hurriedly summoned- Assisted by the constable she started to carry the unconscious girl from the court room. As they descend ed tbe steps of the coroner's court room the girl's lips parted and she shrieked out: "I see that man." She was carried from the room reiterating the cry "the man, the man." The Jury in the Kinrade Inquest paid a visit to the Kinrade home yes terday, spending nearly an hour there and returning to the court house where the Inquiry was reopened at 2:30. No newspaper men were allowed to accom pany the jury and the only comment of foreman Speer aftr the visit was "More mystery than ever," When the Inquiry reopened Washing ton Woodrldgp, was the first witness called. He Is coachman for Mrs. Thorn son and at the time the tragedy is al leged to have occurred, he was sitting In his rig on Herkimer Btreet near the Kinrade house. He saw Florence Kin rade run out of the house but swore that no man left lt. as one must have done If the girl'g story IB correct- A light fall of snow, which was undlsturb ed, prevented anyone leaving the back of the house wlthoue leaving marks. Earl Kinrad told of being transferred from the bank of Commerce in Mont real to Hamilton the day before the murder, arriving home the day after. Thfi best of feeling prevailed among the members of the family and the two girls had always been on the most af fectlonate terms. They were In fact in separable. Florence had' never been away from homfi except to sing at two towns in Ontario and on the Virginia trip. 'Mr. Blackstock took a great deal of interest in whether Earl Kinrade had ever owned a revolver. He had only had one in the house once about "two or three years ago. It belonged to the teller of the bank. He then told about 'being In the Waldorf hotel with a re volver In his pocket, when it was accl dentally discharged, the bullet going Into the floor. He lost the revolver . down the grating of a fruit store near the postoffice but recovered it again. He then returned It to the bank. He had never heard of Florence having a revolver- He had heard that Florence had used a revolver ln the south, his father having mentioned it, not as a means of injuring anyone, but just for protection from the colored people. He never heard what she had done with the revolver when she left the south- He understood that the trip to Savan nah had been taken, with Miss Elliot who had figured as companion of Flor ence in different trips to Ontario points and who also went with her to Virginia- He did not know Miss Elliot. The fam Uy had objected to Florence having a revolver on account of her nervous tern perament. They did not want any harm 'to come to her. Later on he denied that Florence had a nervous tempra ment and declared that if he had said so he did not mean it She had always seemed to bfi a strong healthy girl. So far as he knew neither he nor any other member of the family coulfl supply any clue to the mystery. Florence Kinrade was then recalled and the first question Mr. Blackstock asked her waB aa to how she had slept since the occurrence. She testified "fairly well," but that on one or two nights she had taken sleeping powders- she had gone to Savannah accompanied by Hiss Elliott and Mr. Warburton, the man who Miss Elliott married. This evidence was followed hy a close en quiry Into Florence's travels through western Ontario In company with tha same Miss Elliott The answer of most of the questions were of a very hazy character. Nearly all the men In the south carried revolvers. Mr. Butler. In whose house she boarded, had one, Mrs Butler had told her that it was neces sary to carry a revolver in order to protect herself. She denied having a revolver when she came hack from the south. There had been some correspon -den-opbetween herself and her family in regard to her having the revolver In her possession- She, however, dollied ever having fired off the revolver. Mr. Blackstock then took up Flo rence's relations with Jimmy Bauii the young man whom she had met In Ports mouth. Her relations with her si j n> Ethel* jhad (always been of a meet friendly character and they'had never had any trouble Mr. Blackstoik tiieu came down to the day of the tragedy* She felt sure that Ethel was not out of the house that day. From this the examination drifted to TOBUILDDREADNAUGHTS BRITAIN WILL KEEP PACE WITH FOREIGN NAMES. NO HALT LIKELY IN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION. IX)NDON. March 13—The British na val estimates Issued last night, shows an Increase of close to $15,000. 000 over the estimate of last year, and fully iproves that It Is the government's determination to keep pace with other naval powers. No halt is likely to be called in the International competition for superior naval armaments. In addl tion to four new Dreadnoughts which are to be built as speedily as possible, the government seeks power to start building, if necessary, in 1909 four ad ditlonal large armored vessels. The type of these latter ships Is not Indl cated in the estimates, but it Is gener ally expected that they are to be a type between cruisers and battleships of the ■Dreadnought type. There Is no doubt that this part of the naval program will be dependent upon the reference made In Germany to battleship construe tlon- The statement of Reginald Mc Kenna, first lord of the admiralty, na turally makes no reference to foreign powers and further light on the govern meat's intention must be awaited un til thp estimates are discussed in par llament An interesting part of the estimates Is that the admiralty has un der consideration thP use of dirigible airships for naval purposes and has decided to carry out experiments and construct nn aerial vessel. Under Mr. McKenna's program Great Britain should have by the end of 1911 fourteen vessels of th Dreadnought type against 13 to be by then complet ed by Germany. Mr. McKenna's state ment says that two of the Dreadnoughts will be commenced In July and the other two In November. It Is also announced that the channel fleet will be .absorbed into the home fleet, which will place 22 fully manned battleships and 14 fully manned cruisers in home waters. Church Work. LONDON, March 13 — Speaking of the Anglican church prospects in Can ada, archdeacon Renison gave warm praise for the work of the colonial and continental church society, which stands for nothing less than -the per petulty of Protestant Christianity among the .English speaking people. He told how, In travelling from Liver ■pool to London recently, he met the Ca nadian government immigration agent a German, who had built up a pros perous home in Canada, and foreseeing the future prosperity of the country had asked the Canadian government to appoint him as agent. For the last few years he had been working In his native country In bringing out bands of emigrants and settling them in the fairest parts of Alberta and Saskatche wan. This man told the archdeacon he had instructions to bring only Immi grants of the Catholic faith and bund reds of German Roman Catholics were being planted year by year by the Ca nadian government on the great west ern prairies. Archdeacon Renison fear ed that the time would come when the church of England would be unknown in that country. Emigrants for Canada. ■LONDON, March 13—The Allan;'llner Turisisian. sailed'Thursday for Canada with 1000 passengers. Addressing a party of young men of good brain and muscle who are among the Tunisian's passengers under the auspices of the Salvation Army, colonel Lamb, commissioner in charge of emigration, stated that every one went out with the guarantee of work secured through the Army labor bureau. Referring to the party sailing next week by the Canadian Pacific liner Lake Champlaln, colonel Lamb said he already had In hts possession particulars of situations and would be able to fix any party wanting work with a situation before the boat sailed. Canadian Salvation Army officers are nt present organizing a party of women to sail March 31, and In this connection they are visiting various places tn Scotland next week. The Empress of Britain, sailed yesterday for Canada with a very targe number of passengers of| all classes.

BRUT[TORGE R. v. Bennett Describes Machine Tactics ELECTORS HAVE NOCHANCC ALBERTA GOVERNMENT RUSHES ELECTION WITH NEW CONSTITUENCIES, NEW BALLOT AND NEW POICY WITHOUT TIME FOR PROPER DISCUSSION. "Never before In the political history of Canada has an election, been forced on the people under a new election act, with new constituencies and a new policy without giving the electors any opportunity to discuss the measures upon which they were called upon to pass judgment." In the foregoing words R. B. Bennett, barrister and solicitor of Calgary, Alberta, and candidate there for the Alberta legislature in the conservative interests, summed up the situation in the neighboring province, where the liberal government, possessing an overwhelming majority in the last legislature, has brought on an election with unprecedented short notice to the public. Mr. Bennett was seen by a Daily News reporter at the Strathcona hotel here on Friday and uttered the foregoing words fh answer to a request for news of the Alberta election campaign. Discussing the Alberta example of machine liberalism Mr, Bennett said: "The legislature was prorogued on Feb. 25 and di-emlssed on Feb. 27. The nominations were set for March 15 and the election for March 22, under the new election act, copies of which have only just been placed in the hands of the people, and the terms of which are very imperfectly known, This is the first election la the province in which a regular ballot paper Is to be used and in which an attempt Is made to prepare a voters' list. It Is certain that in a large number of constituencies there is little or no knowledge of the act possessed by the public. Another objection to the haste with which the election lias been brought on is that under the redistribution bill the legislature wll] contain 41 members instead of 25, as heretofore, and the boundaries of the new constituencies are so framed that in may of them the people are without knowledge of what the boundaries are. The man who had been talked of as a possible candlate prior to February 25 nwoke on 26th to find himself In another constituency ln which he had no interest and which had no interest in him. e "The Issue presented by the government to the electors Is Its railway policy, under which lt is understood that the province has guaranteed the bonds of certain railway companies to the amount of $25,000,000 at 4 and 5 per cent, interest, payable half yearly, without securing any control of rates except in the case of the road from Edmonton to Fort McMurray, a distance of 350 miles, for which the amount guaranteed Is no less than |7,- 400,000, exclusive of Interest. Furthermore, up to Monday of last week copies of the acts creating these obligations could not be obtained and consequently no proper Information was available to the public of Alberta. "The members of both political parties in the province," continued Mr. Bennett, "are anxious to assist and promote railway development, and I think It Is the universal opinion In Alberta that the public credit should be pledged for the public benefit, but the business community Is particularly anxious to protect Its interests by providing control of rates and In securing competition In transportation facilities. It is absolutely impossibl for any fair minded man to give any reason why the election should be brought on at such short notice. The government, in appealing to the country professes to have an excellent policy and to be perfectly' satisfied, with its record.' Farther-* more it had the support of all the mem-: bers of the legislature but two.1 r< Yet. In spite of all this the fact remains that never before In the pollticl history of Canada has an election been forced on the people under a new election act, with new constituencies and a new policy without giving the electors any possible opportunity to discuss the measure upon which they are called upon to pass judgment." ■Mr, Bennett's visit to Nelson was made In connection with the appeal of the C. P. R, against the provincial assessment of tbe B. C. Southern land grant, heard before special judge R. S. Lennie on Friday, and wns associated with Mr. E. P. Davis ln behalf Of the railway company. TO REOPEN PAYNE MINE WELL KNOWN PROPERTY MAY BE WORKED AGAIN. . DIAMOND DRILLS ARE NOW IN OPERATION. Information readies us of signs of activity about the old Payne mine once more says tlie Knslo Kootcnalait. Walker Smith, who recently arrived hack from lhe eufit, Is In charge of affairs. We learn that It Is the Intention of the present owners of the old dividend-payer to prospect the property thoroughly jjeUore commencing a plan of deep development work, ror this purpose diamond drilling will be udopted and young Smith is at present getting things Into shape for a start. Tliere is plenty of ore in the old Payno jWt, but It Ib going to take a good expenditure of capital hefore lt can be got at and worked, lt Is true that the upper workings have been gutted, hut ln No. S tunnel is a line vein showing up over a foot In thickness, To work It under tho present conditions would he too expensive, as No. 8 Is on the McGuigan side of the mountain and would entail hoisting over the hill, and besides it is very wet, In fact there Is enough water pouring out of No. s to furnish all the power necessary to run the somewhat eumheisome milling plant, and if the tunnel In the llrst place was started on the Sandon side of tne mountain, the water Jssuing theils-rrom would have saved hundreds of dollars In the concentrator and saved the expenditure entailed In the construction of a network of limning that was built lo catch what water was available to keep the plant running when it started up. The Payne mine hoth boosted and knocked the silvery Slocan. It boosted the district hy Its one million and a half nearly In dividends, and knocked It severely oy the stock-Jobbing manipulations of tlie ■brokers. Tlie shareholders gambled for a time over the stock, boosted it up In price for double what It was worth and fancied they were mining. When the crash came many were bitten and blamed mining in Hrltlsh Columbia for It instead of their own foolishness, A few made money out of the property in the early days but tlie many didn't and the losers have heen disgusted with mining In this province since the slump until recently, when attention Is coming to Slocan once more. Although we never mentioned It, tbe "Kootenalnn" had some Inside Information about the Payne several months ago. Thla was to the effect ihat a strong tlnanelal enmpany was being organizer! to develop the property and some easterners were given n "tip." We believe that those holding a controlling Interest In the mine at the present constitute a group of wealthy Montrealers who are heavy holders ln the Montreal Street Railway company, and have control of large capital. A company composed of such men as these can easily put the Payne again on a paying basis, and they appear to ihe going about It in the right way. We have said there aro millions in the old Payne yet nnd we say so again, 'but It Is going to lake a heavy expenditure at the outset to obtain It. The ore In No. S is a viMe.lned vein and descends into the ground, linking a shaft was commenced upon it at different intervals -before the shutdown hut bad to be abandoned on account of the water making It unsafe for the men to woMc In. Diamond drilling will thoroughly test the ground nnd If successful, as many believe it will he, a new era of activity will again permeate the noted mine nnd bring prosperity to the old Sandon camp once more.

CASE STATED Anthracite Coal Operators Offer Statement THEY INSIST ON OPEN SHOP REQUESTED INCREASE OP WAGES IS REFUSED ON GROUND THAT CONDITIONS WOULD NOT PERMIT AND PRICE OF COAL WOULD ADVANCE. PHILADELPHIA, March 13.—The conference between the sub-committee of the anthracite mine workers and the operators to arrange a new agreement, to go into effect at the expiration of the present working arrangement, came to an end late this afternoon without results. While the prospects are not as bright as they were for a peaoful settlement there Is still hope that radical action by either side will be avoided. The board will tom.rrow issue a call for a convention of the miners of the anthracite districts, to be held in one of the mining towns, for the purpose of considering plans for further action and then will follow another conference with the operators before March 31, The counter proposition of the mining companies to renew the present agreement for another term of three years will be placed before the convention by the executive boards of the workmen. National president Lewis, of the union, said Saturday that the suggestion for another conference came from the operators. There was but one session of the sub-committee that day and It lasted from 2 to 5 p. in. NEW YORK, March 13—A statement of lhe attitude of the anthracite coal operators on the question of recognition of the United Mine Workers of America was given out there today by the operators' committee of seven. The statement sets forth that the operators will treat union and non-union men alike, and that they will exercise no discrimination against or in favor of any man because of his membership or non-membership in any labor organization. The cohimittee declares also that it is absolutely impossible to grant the -demands for Increased wages and a shorter working day without increasing the price of coal lo the customers.. The statement follows: "Since the coal consumers and the public are vitally interested in the maintenance of peaceful conditions in the anthracite fields, the operators desire to make clear their position as declared to the mine workers' committee of seven ni Philadelphia. "Prom the statement of Mr. Lewis lt appears that he puts most emphasis now upon the question of 'recognition' —the question as (o whether the operators shall make a coutract with the U. M. W. of A. He says that he and his fellow committeemen where representing the union, and the contract signed by them, except as officers of the union, would be binding upon nobody but themselves as individuals. "In providing for the future, we can have no safer guide than the experience of the past. Never before ln the history of the anthracite industry have better labor conditions prevailed, for a similar period of time, than since the anthracite coal strike commission award went Into effect six years ago. Tlie status of the gentleman who agreed, on behalf of the employees, to accept this award was thus defined on page 60 of the official report of the strike commission. It was definitely stated at the first meeting of the commission that the president of the U. M. W. of A. appeared before the commission as the representative of the mine workers in the anthracite region. It is true that they have been represented, and ably represented, before the commission by Mr. Mitchell, but In representing them he appeared 'as the representative of the anthracite coal mine workers,' and not in his official character as president of the U. M, W. of A. "Again, in 1906, the committee which met the operators came as representatives of the anthracite mine workers, and in that same capacity they signed the agreement for an extension of the original award of the commission. The exact words used ln this 190G agreement were 'It is stipulated between the undersigned, in their own behalf, and so far as they have powers to represent any other parties in Interest, etc.' There was no mention of the U. M. W. of A. The operators are willing to follow the same procedure exactly as followed In 1906, to enter into an agreement with Mr. Lewis and his committee just as the entered into agreement with the Mitchell committee. "Tho operators have stood in the past, and they stand now, for the 'open shop.' They will treat union and nonunion men alike. They will exercise no discrimination against or In favor of nny man because of his membership or non-membership In any labor organization. "As to the demands for Increased wages and shorter day, It Is absolutely Impossible to grant them without Increasing the price of coal to the consumers, This the operators will not consent to do, nor will they even consider It. Under a strict application of eceonomlc law, the present condition of business would compel a reduction in stead of an increase in wages, the natural consequence being a Tall in the price of coal. Among the operators there was a strong feeling that such a reduction of wages should be put into effect, but for lhe sake of stability ln the anthracite Industry, and from an unwillingness to disturb an agreement which has brought peace, it was decided to offer a renewal of the present agreement.' "With the Industries of the country in their present state, the anthracite mine workers are very fortunate to have such an agreement under which to work. If either side refuse it, it is not the operators but the mine workers. Por it is undeniably a fact that the employees of the anthracite mining companies, compared with other wage earners of whom equal skill and training are required, are highly paid. Not only are their minimum earnings fixed at a high level, but they r.i'e assured, by the sliding scale arrangements, of a one per cent, increase of the earnings for every increase of five cents above ?4.50 per ton in the price of domestic sizes of anthracite at tidewater. As the prices averaged around 94.85 last year the mine workers' earnings were seven per cent, above the minimum fixed by the strike commissioners.." UNDERTHEIR INFLUENCE CORON.ER'S JURY GO AFTER CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS. ATTORNEY GENERAL IS ASKED TO INVESTIGATE. (Special to Tho Dally News.) VANCOUVER, iMarch 13—A coroner's jury last evening brought in a verdict with reference to the suicide of John Harrison here by taking carbolic acid Thursday. The verdict ascribes death to suicide in a fit of despondency bord erlng on insanity and adds the following clause: "From the evidence-adduced it Is quite apparent to the jury that one, Mr. Varey, Christian Science leader in this city, is largely the cause of Mr. Harrison's despondency and demise and Wo recommend that the attorney gen eral Investigate the case forthwith." The evidence showed that Harrison had for the last few months since vis iting Christian Science healers, been In a despondent frame of mind, his chief fear being that he could not get away from their influence and the fact prey ing on him being their request that he destroy his papers, will. etc. Harrison was an old timer and said to be worth $100,000 In property at thR time of his -death. HASTY CRIME. Quick Repentance Follows Murder in Anger. MALON1E, NY.. March 13 - Charles Devlin of West Bangor drove up to ihe home of the sheriff here tonight and asked the officer to arrest him.

At the same time the caucus hound its members to vote for the adoption by the incoming house of the rules which governed the last house. It was the fourth time the honor had been conferred upon Mr. Cannon. But tonight neither the selection of a candidate for speaker nor tho vote on the rules was characterized by the unanimity of party feeling that attended the three preceding caucuses. There was plenty of evidence of the insurrection promised for Monday against the Cannon organization, but in the main the most determined anti-Cannon republicans were not present.

At a temperature of 750 Fahrt. it fuses and in case of any oxygen being present it distils over in the form of the oxide. The present process adopted for smelt ing zinc ores entirely does away w':h the presence of oxygen so that a low temperaturR as noted above zinc can be obtained at a very low commercial rate, the method being by means of electricity in a closed furnace. One of the most important uses of zinc regard Ing this country Is its use In the reffn ing of copper by the electroyltic process The further uses of the metal are chief ly alloys of copper, commonly termed hrass. galvanized Iron and Bheet zinc; various combinations are also used in medicine, being very strong antiseptics, Zinc is nqt found In Its metallic state; the chief sources from which it is obtained are zinc sulphide (or zinc blende, or blackjack, as commonly term ed by mining men. Zinc carbonate (or Smlthsonlte) and zinc silicate (or Gala mine) As far as this district is concerned the first Is about the only form in which It appears,; in nearly every in stance where zinc blende has been diJ covered the surface showings havP al ways been galena, but with depth this has changed Into blende; many in stance of this can be pointed out in the Slocan district. This change from tne galena to blende was noted in the Min ira mine near Wrexham. In Wales- The property was operated In the early Ro man periods for lead but later has been a zinc producer on]:*. Spahlirite or Zinc Blende—This min eral consists of approximately 67 per* cent zinc and 33 per cent sulphur, but nearly always the mineral contains either Iron, manganes or cadmium, lt has a hardness of about 4 and a specific grfivlty ,of 3.9; its lustre lis .either resinous or glassy, the fracture varies considerably more often than not being uneven, the color of the mineral Is chief ly brown or black, sometimes yellow, with an occasional occurrence of it he ing red, green or white, when contain ing no Impurities it is always white, the streak always follows the color of the mineral. This mineral is the chief source of the zinc produced in British Columbia, large bodies of it being found in various parts of the country notably at the Lucky Jim mine. Sandon where some of the highest grade blende known has been turned out. The Ruth mine, Sandon; the Whlta water mine, several properties in the Lardo and also in the Ymir district. Omithsonite or Carbonate of Zinc— Contains about 65 per cent zinc, the col or is usually white, varying according to its adulterants from a green to a blue or a brown, its streak is always white. Its hardness is -6, its specific gravity 4.4, its lustre glassy. Occasion ally the mineral is found in this dis trict on the surface when with depth zinc blende is afterwards obtained. Calamine or Silicate of Zinc—This •mineral contains 66 per cent of zinc oxidp and though these is no known big quantities In British Columbia it Is one of the chief sources of production in the Joplin district, Missouri. *The great advantage of this mineral is the ab seiicR of any contaminating impurities from a large series of assay runs there were only one or two cases in which cadmium or manganese occurred; the mineral has a specific gravity of 3.5 and a hardness of 4.5, a glassy lustre, sometimes pearly, the color is nearly always white but sometimes with a lit tie bluish or greenish tinge, the streak is always white. Wlllemlte is another silicate of zinc, containing about 73 per cent of zinc oxide, it has a resinous lustre, color varying from white to yellow and has been found ln this district, a flesh colored red. streak Ib uncolored, Its hardness and specific gravity are ap proximately the same as calamine- CORRESPONDENCE T.A.M., Nelson—The following sug gestion has been received: That the series of articles now running in your columns would make very useful and interesting text books for the general run of prospectors if they were to cut them out every week as they appear and paste them together in some con venient form for future reference- The writer considers the articles -valuauble and Instructive and thinks they will be looked forward to every week by a very considerable number of your readers.

MARIE HALL IS COMING GENIUS OF VIOLINI8TE WHO APPEARS HERE FRIDAY. ■ HER MUSIC TOUCHES HEARTS OF ALL WHO HEAR. Hy I, Brooke-Alder. Just now and then comes into the life of everybody an experience so Houl-stlr- (rlng that to describe It adequately, lan- 1 gunge fa taxed to the utmost, speech Itself will become nt times Inipossilile-ofl Shakespeare knew and vloeeu so well— '■I were but little happy If X could say how much,** "Silence is the perfect hemic! of joy." It is such an experience that marks with radiant lettering tho record of an ordinary life, rendering it henceforth the more felicitous. Into this glowing category must neeesflurily fnll the llrst audition of Marie Hall, who will appear In ■Nelson on Friday next, for nothing In the way of artlBtlc excellence in any branch of music, lias thus gratified the listening world since just a century ago, when Pag- imiiii set for ail time the standard. To hear Marie Hall is to gain admittance Into realm's of enjoyment hitherto only vaguely conjectured; lt is also to recognize that such prodigious talent, Pagnnlnl Is the only possible prototype. The slight girl swaying in sympathy with wonderful strain of melody, her dark eyes gczlrg Into limitltefl dlllirrnei her whole being conscious only of the message she Is charged to deliver, seems to commune with the Spirit of her great Exemplar, and as her bow caresses the" strings, to draw from the violin the very echo of his Inimitable tone. Happy chance Indeed that caused that lovely instrument, made by Htradavarius, to pass from the royal collection into her keeping, that such magician's hands should free It Trom the spell of silence! Listening to Its entrancing mellowness one can almost fancy that tlie Instrument must 'be responding Identically now to Mnrte Hall as It did a century ngo to Paganini. Its sweetness * touches all hearts now as It did then; and anon, when demand is made upon Its passion, ItH thrill Is lirisistlble. WORLD'S BOWLING RECORDS.

WINNIPEG, March 111.—The land offices were crowded today with settlers and homesteaders, who were making inquiries regarding homesteads and the best places to locate. These homesteaders intend to make their homes in the various districts tributary to Reglna, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, Cal gary, Lethbridge and Edmonton. They will go west as soon as they complete their arrangements for settling. The conference of Canadian Pacific railway officials on th<> question of train ser vice in the west this summer has been concluded, but the superintendents are still In session, discussing improvements to be undertaken throughout the season. Left No Address. SASKATOON, March 13.-A. D. Malty, who came here fro mPrlnce Albert early this year for the purpose of dealing in South African scrip, has recently departed, leaving no address. As he has done quite a business in scrip, chiefly in the line of accepting pay ments on account for scrip which he undertook to deliver by; certain dates, and has not. delivered it, a warrant has bPen sworn out for his arrest. Apparently Maby was selling short and succeeded in getting caught by the recent decided advance in the value of scrip. Being -financially unable to fulfill his obligations he absconded. In a letter, which he sent to a local firm, the missing man states that he is going to South Africa to pick up scrip there. No serious significance Is attached to this. It is doubted if he really intended to be dishonest for in some cases, when he found the amrket. against him, ho offered to return the deposltB, which offer was not accepted in every case and threatened suits were followed by his departure. —™ SSToJS^-Monday, Mar. 15 FREDERIC CLARKE E.

AGAIN FROM MOOSE JAW Strong and Clear was Drama at City Hall—Frederic Clarke a Good Actor Usually Moose Jaw gets shows that everybody knows will be poor. Sometimes Moose Jaw fs visited by a show which it is thought Is good, but proves a failure; very rarely this city gets a show that is believed to bo good and actually is. Last night was one of those rare occasions. The confidence of theatregoers in it was shown by the large house thnt was present. The pi ace was filled to the doors. It is doubtful If there was a disappointed person left the house. The play was "The Count of Monte Cristo," put on by a very capable company headed by Frederick Clarke. Mr. Clarke is an actor of ability and took the title role in a highly satisfactory manner.—The Evening Times, MooBe Jaw, Feb. 20, 1909.

The absurdity to which the law is often reduced in the United States is well illustrated by the Carmack murder trial in Tennessee. According to the ruling of the court only Illiterates were eligible for the jury in the trial of the men accused of murdering senator Car mack- In these days practically every one who can read at all reads the P& !>ers and according to the ruling of tbe court anyone who had read of the crime in the newspapers was Ineligible to sit as a juror. This practically con fined the list from which the jurors could be selected to those who could not read. How it worked out that anyone who had read of the case In the papers is interesting. It was held that any one who had talked with a witness of the crime or with any one who had talked with a person who had talked with a witness was ineligible to serve as a juror in the case- In the preliminary steps of the case the newspapers had printed verbatim reports of the evi dence- According to the appreme court this made the newspapers persons who had talked with a witness. Therefore, every one who had read the evidnce in the newspapers became incompetent to serve as jurors. As a result of this ruling it became necessary to summon 3019 men before a jury was secured. Of ihe twelve men finally selected, four could neither read nor write and two had but a most im perfect knowledge of English. All ex cept one of them swore that he bad not read a paper since the crime and the twelfth was out of ihe state from a week before the murder until the day lie was summoned as a juror. This was the kind ot a jury that the state of Tennessee providd for tlie hearing of one of the most Important murder trials that has ever taken place In the state- How an intelligent vox diet could be secured from such a jury it is hard to see. The ruling under which this travesty on justice was brought about are, to say the least, most remarkable. They bring the jury system into undeserved reproach and make a laughing stock of the "admIntegra tlon of justice in Tennessee. FLYING THE FLAG. The Toronto News in a recent issue published a timely article on the HyihS of the flag in Canada. The News takes the stand that in view of the influx of so many foreigners every means' pos sible should he taken to inculcate loy ally to the country and love of the flag among these newcomers. As a means to this end it suggests that the flag should be flown every day from every dominion, provincial and mnnlci pal public building in the country. Th.. suggestion Is a good one. The new comers should be made familiar with the flag. The -Manitoba govern ment took a step in the right direction "hen they decided that, the flag should be flown from every public school every school day and British Columbia and other provinces have acted wisely In following this example. The children are thus being taught to recognize and to honor the flag of the country of their parents* adoption. The flying of the flag from alt public buildings Is but another step in this direction- In this province, it is gratifying to state, the flag flies from most, if not all the pro vincial buildings, but the same cannot be said regarding . the municipal and dominion buildings- This Is a matter that might well be taken up bv the various patriotic organizations. The display of the flag alone, how ever, is not going to secure the end de slrd. the inculcation of loyalty among the newcomers and their children. Both must be taught what the flag stands for. in the case of the children this can be done to a certain extent in the schools. But there are many other ways in wliich this can be accomplished even more effectively. One of these Is by educating the new comers to the fact that the flag stands for British fair play for one and all- They must be brought to realize that there Is justice for every one in the courts of the land, and public affairs should be so conduct ed as to lead them to respect the free institutions of which the flag is repre sentatlve. It is most Important that the new comers should be educated along these lines. As far as the admin ■stratum of justice is concerned this is being done, but what is being done to Inspire in them high Ideals in respect to public life? Let loyal Canadians ask themselves this question and let each answer It for himself. Without a pro per training in this direction flag fly Ing will not accomplish much toward developing among the foreign popula tion of the country and their descen dants that love of Canada aud pride In her institutions that it is so neces sary should be inculcated. EDITORIAL NOTES. The Victoria Times has had, plans prepared for a fine new five story block. Times must be prosperous in thfl capl tal. Th Calgary News says that Mr, R. B. Bennett, one of the conservative can didates in that city, Is not responsible for the fact that the Eye Opener Is sup porting him. The News does not say, however, whether thP liberal candidates are responsible for the fact that it is supporting them. The proprietor of The News a few months ago was convicted of libelling the editor of the Eye Opener. It may be said that the libel in Question was a more filthy produc tion than anything that ever appeared in the tEj'e Opener. Even the Toronto Globe can. at times, see the danger to Canada arising from the admission to this country of Asia tics, particularly of Japanese. In a re cent number it said: "Salmon fishing in thp Canadian waters about Vancou ver island has passed almost entirely into tlie hands of Japanese, it is an open secret that Canadians are timid about fishing at night among the orien tals. who were first employed to cut down fishermen's returns. It has lately been rumored that Japanese business men would seek to control th canning industry and thus absorb the business as well as the labor." Says the Ottawa Journal: "Again there is reason to criticize the small ness of the attendance In parliament particularly on the liberal side. Prior to the increase of sessional Indemnity, in attention to parliamntary duty on the part of any member was regrettable. Now it is dishonest" Somerville in Winnipeg, WINNIPEG, Marcll 1.!.—James Somerville, secretary of the federation oi the unions of the mechanical departments of the Canadian Pacific railway, arlved in the city Thursday night.

FIFTY THOUSAND IS SMALL, Jeffries' Opinion of Mcintosh's Offer tor Fight, NEW YORK, March 13.—"Why, only $50,000?" asked James .1. Jeffries today when told of Hugh Mcintosh's proposal to give ¥50,000 for a Jeffries-Johnson battle. Jeffries took exception to the Australian promoter's suggestion that the fight take place in England. "This offer of a $50,000 purse does not look very attractive," he said. "How about $200,000? Why, as I indicated In Seattle, backed by responsible parties. I had a bona fide offer of $150,000 for a- contest at the exposition. "But It is not. a matter of money with me. Al! the money in the world would not drag me into the ring if I thought I was going to he licked. If 1 get Into shape and think I can heat. Johnson, I'll tight him. I will never enter the ring again unless I feel sure 1 have back my old fighting form. I ■shall not fight any one unless I think I can do myself pusttce." Gans Beats Jabez White. NEW YORK, Marcll 13.—Joe Gans, former lightweight cnhrnplon of the world, easily defeated Jabez White, the English lightweight champion. In a ten round bout at the National Athletic club last night. It was at tame exhibition and the big crowd was disappointed, for the men were slow and many of their blows lacked force. White used his fists cleverly In the flrst two rounds, but In the third he changed his tactics, relying mainly on his right. Two seconds later the cause of his shift was apparent. White broke his left arm some time ago in England, and he hurt it early in the third round last night. He wus knocked down in the sixth, twice In the seventh when the bell saved him by one second, und one In the eighth. Gans was far from being the Gans of even two years ago, for he missed several blows, misjudged distances and failed to take advantage of many opportunities. Gotch and Mahmout. CHICAGO, March 13.—Frank Gotch, wrestling champion of the world, and Yttssif Mahmout will meet at the International ampitheatre on April 14, according to an announcement made by the Empire Athletic club tonight. Gotch will do his training at the Illinois Athletic club where he prepared for his contest with Hackenschmidt last year. . To Regulate Bowling.

Do the great officials of opulent corporations passing through the country in palatial cars with all the luxury and delicacies that the "handmaid of labor" produces in pain anil sufferins, in some cases on the verge of starvation, ever spend one single thought on the hardships suffered by the producprs they are passing? You note to your fellow nrigtiatcs the magnificent scenery with a thrill of pleasure and remark what a beautiful country! What happy homes must be nestled among tlio valleys ami foothills of the glorious mountains. You smack your lips at the exquisite flavor of the fruit, fre-sh eggs and cream (only such can be raised In the highland countries), but yon were looking too high when wour train stopped at the station; you did not know it was a Btatlon; how should you know? You did not see the signboard, the only indication of a station; not a shed, not a platform, but It Is a duly scheduled official station, the sole and undivided property of a great and almost omnipotent corporation, which owns ? great amount of property of similar nature, which looks well on scheduler, and Is sometimes useful in Irrigator;- stocks und fructifying the share market. You did not see the poorly clad women with intellectual, patrician features, in company with her flaxen- haired child, stand shivering at the imaginary station awaiting for hours the arrival of the train to deliver delicacies she raised, hut could 111 afford to eat; you did not see the poor, shivering creature bravely keeping back the welling tears until her task was done; your train had passed and she could give free vent to her grief, Of what concern is her suffering to the railway magnates? Listen! Once Uie mainstay of her happy home were a small herd of milch cows; your trains had mercilessly destroyed them and the last pet one had recently gone the same way. You old not know that once that woman was the darling child in a luxurious home, became the bride of a man filled with the daring spirit of the Saxou race, Such as he has conquered half the world and bestowed justice und fair play in the place of oppression to the suffering millions, whether black, yellow or white, You did not know that he was one of the victims cl the absorbing octopus whose eniaciotis maw is never satisfied an! whose tentacles are stretched throughout the length and breadth of this land, squeezing out the very life blood even of those who fed and nursed the Infant monster when it emerged from embryo. Induced by the glowing advertisements, telling of tbe gloilous free land, tree range for cattlo and other stock, the settler, poor in ul but hope and faith, one of the pioneers in advance of the Fteel road, omeied the country by wagon road, hewed for himself aud family a home tit the primeval forest, your corporation robbed him of his means of transpoi lation to market hy destroying th.-> public road, robbed him of his free rango ior his cattle, killed his cattle, killed his horses and refused the smallest recompense. Your subordinates have cut off lhe water supplying ranchers for domestic and irrigation purposes and have been appealed to in vain, and when I laid your ease before tbe railway commissioners your lawyers pleaded and offered the lilmsy excuse that they had not had sufficient notice, and the same with several other complaints. The capital stock of some poor farmer waB principally in one pair of work oxen, with which he cultivated his land. Your trains killed one and the poor fellow has not means to purchase another to replace It. One man had a pair of horses, turned them out. on the "free range" to graze, onP was missing, and he and his son were hunting for weeks under the impression that it had strayed away, when a prospector, who was passing, Informed him that hP saw your section men burying the animal weeks since, your men having Instructions apparently to have such things put out of sight as quickly as possible. Such actions should not be permitted, and could easily be obviated if your subordinates would listen to and act upon reasonable suggestions, and I can assure you that if the samP ,were accepted it would prove 'Profitable and much more economical t0 your company than driving tlie vhtims to seek redress before the great rlbunal so wisely selected by parliament to protect the suffering people. We all acknowledge the great factor your company has been In the develop ment and progress of Canada, and regret very much having to resort to drastic measures to obtain a small measure of justice; the organization of your great system "has earned the admiration of the world. We all know that you, the head of this great octopus, personally possess not only a great brain, hut a large and sympathetic heart, but the majority of your subordinates appear to possess neither; they act as though they were t"he rep- I resentatives of an Immaculate and al Nelson, B.

But they should not lose sight of the fact that without the people your company could not earn dividends, nor build palatial hotels, and if you can afford to do -the latter, you can certainly afford to fence the land In settled districts, where you do so much damage and cause so much suffering amongst poor people who can ill afford to lose their stock. It Ib also poor policy to irritate your masters and alienate the good will ot the people. The great majority of tho people have a keen sense of what is just and uujust and resent an injlstlce even If perpetrated on their enemy- That is the reason the railway commission Is held In such high esteem by thp people; railway companies cannot point out on single unjust decision; true, as the monitor of the naughty, selfish corporations it has applied the whip where necessary and the usual howl is emitted. 'What is the sovereign power? The people! Parliament is the judiciary and corporations are their cervants. To this remark, which 1 made -at the sitting in Nelson, the chief commissioner replied: "Mr- Watts, tell us something we don't know." 1 wag perfectly well aware that his lordship did know it, that it was a platitude; but sometimes those high in power havR a lapse of memory on such matters, especially large corporations. I therefore suggest in thp interests of all concerned, and for saving the time of the commissioners, that your company appoint dnly accredited officials invested with full power to act promptly or give written promise of -compliance to ail legal and reasonable demands, and t will promise to do all I can towards effecting a reasonable seuiement that will be satisfactory to all concerned. I may add that I am acting purely Jn an honorary capacity in these matters and no pecuniary considerations are involved In any way. The foregoing and your reply will be given to the press.
