i i j*? EIGHT PAGES- 50 CENTS A MONTH CLASSIFIED ADS I CENT A WORD VOL. 10 NELSON. B. C. TUESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 17,1911 NO. 158 Initial Work on Lloyd George Scheme Colossal ACTUAL YIELD LESS THANlSIX THOUSAND EnglishlConservatives Gleeful at Exposures in Inland Revenue Report LONDON, Oct. 16—The Unionist press is seized with glee over the report of the commissioners of Inland revenue, showing how Lloyd George's 1909 budget is operating with regard to the land tax. The interest and revenue report now shows that there are (11,000,000 hereditaments of different plots of land to be valued. For this work a veritable army of officials has been instituted. There are 172 permanent civil service officials, with aggregate salaries of '$3'88,000*. ' with 1,476 assistants of various, kinds, draughtsmen, technical assistants and others hringing the total salary and payroll up to the estimated amount of 1,408,000. To this there is to be added $25,000 for office accommodations. 1 The report gives the hereditaments a value of $309,000. The actual yield in revenue so far has been $5,810. At the present rate of progress it is calculated that the work will require 29 years at a cost of $40,000,000, but since March the number of officials has been "considerably augmented." The increased number of first class appraisers adds $68,750 to the yearly salary list. gf H*5 Property Values Shrink It is now pointed out that the famous budget, which started the recent parliamentary revision, says that all hereditaments owned by statutory companies, such as railroads, shall make new valuations in 1914. The report _ ali^shnwj*-}3 marked shrinkage in the tahjL&§ of; estates passing to new owners by the death of former ones. In 1906 the total. value of such estates was ■ £298,000,000: In 1909 it had shrunk to £283,000,000, and in 1910-11 to £272,000,000. The budget also miscalculated the number of the "very rich" liable to supertax. There were 30,829 forms issued by the end of the" year ,but only 10,257 cases were disclosed as liable to pay. the additional impost. The total income reported by these is £128,- 992,000 and the amount of the supertax is £2,'458,0Q0. 'From the "very rich," that is those whose incomes are over £25,000 a year, and who pay 60 cents on the sovereign, the income tax 'is shown to be slightly over £10,000, 000.

WORK STOPPED ON I CONTRACTS RUMOR ■r Reports to be Made on Some Jobs Given Out by Defeated Government —Terminal at Quebec lOTTAiWA, ■ Oct. 16-hHon. Frank Cochrane, minister of railways, could not be seen tonight in regard to the report from Winnipeg to the effect that the contractors on division "F" of the Grand Trunk Pacific had been ordered to7stop work. At the department of railways it was stated that no such order had been sent out. It is said, however, that the minister has ordered a cessation of work on a number of contracts let since Sept. 21, including the contract for the Grand Trunk Pacific terminal station at Quebec, some shops at Winnipeg, and a number of stations. This action on the part of the minister is due to a" destre to have reports made on them by ciiicials of tho department and also to the fact that there has been no .parliamentary appropriation for these expenditures.

BETTER TO LYNCH THAN TRY M'NAMARA This is Sarcastic Observation of Counsel at Los Angeles Trial—Jury Farce Continues LOS ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 16—The examination of talesmen was the only business occupying the attention of the court in the McNamara murder trial today. Nelson, the talesman over whom some difficulty has arisen, today admitted that he believed the Times building was blown up by dynamite* and had his own opinion as to McNamara's guilt and by this* admis sion it was finally decided that he had disqualified himself. John W. Roberts, real estate dealer, was examined as a. talesman without any defence as was al£o Robert Blain, a carpenter. In the address of Attorney Scott, the opinion was expressed that it would be better to lynch McNamara than to try him, an affirmation which so agitated four spectators in court that they had to be ejected. SEAT FOR WHITE IN EAST MIDDLESEX LONDON, Ont, Oct. 16—It is announced that a meeting of the executive of the East Middlesex Conservative association will be held this week when the matter of opening up the constituency, to give Hon.

BY PROSECUTION Grand Jury Returns True Bills in All Cases on Docket NEW BRUNSWICK CABINET MINISTERS SWORN IN Flemming is Premier; Grimmer, Attorney General; McLeod, Provincial Secretary; Morrissey, Works FREDERICTON, .N.B., Oct. 16—The Flemming government was sworn in this afternoon as follows: Hon. J. K. Flemming, premier and surveyor general; Hon. W. C. H. Grimmer, attorney general; Hon. H. F. McLeod, provincial secretary; Hon. John Morrissey, public works commissioner; Mr. Landry, agricultural commissioner; Hon. Robert' Maxwell and J. A. Murray without portfolios. The solicitor generalship is not filled. True bills were returned by the grand jury at the first day's sitting of the assizes yesterday in all the three cases on the docket. In Kex vs. Far- rington, the accused is charged on two counts with shooting with intent to do grievous bodily harm. The first count on the indictment, .that of shooting with intent to kill, was returned as .a "no bill." In Rex vs. Hoffman, in which the charge is theft and having stolen goods in possession, and in Rex vs. Watkihs, where the charge is sending a threatening letter, the jury returned true bills on the indictments as prepared by the prosecution. Mr. Justice Clement presided and Fred C. Mofc fatt acted as crown prosecutor. The grand jury consisted of A. S. Horswill, foreman; J. E. Annable, Leslie Craufurd, Frank Fletcher, John. Hamilton, Jhmes Johnstone, A. G. Lambert, W. J. Meagher, J. S. Munro, William Rutherford, F. A. Starkey and E. B, Stevenson of Nelson and.R. W. Gri- gor of Rossland. To Consider Interests of Society. In directing the grand jury nis lordship said that he-was happy to see that the criminal docket was so light. There were only three bills to place before them and none of these was of a very serious character. It was the accepted custom in criminal trials to give the accused the benefit of any reasonable doubt. But -it was not the function of the grand jury to try the cases; they had to decide whether it was for the interests of society that the accused should be placed before the petit jury, and it there were any reasonable doubt it was the duty of the grand jury to give the benefit to society. Ancient Usefulness Outlived. After the bills had been returned his lordship, instructing the grand jury as to the powers with which they had been endowed by an old statute of visiting all buildings supported by public money and of making such presentments upon any subject of public interest which they might think fit, sad: "In my opinion the grand jury'insofar as this other work which they may perform, has outlived its usefulness. But the field is wide open and I will see that any presentments which may be made are forwarded to the proper quarter." Farrington, who is being defended by W. B. Farris, pleaded not guilty and will probably be tried today. Hoffman entered a similar plea and said that he -did not wish to be represented by counsel. Motion to, Quash Fails. Directly Watkins, who is on trial on a charge of sending threatening letters. to;A. Posey of Coal Creek, took his place at the bar A. M. Johnson, who is acting for the defense, moved that the indictment be quashed on te ghrountts that the offense committed, if any, took . place outside the jurisdiction of the grand jury which had returned the true bill and that the crown had ,acted improperly in placing in the indictment a number of the threatening letters alleged to have been written by the prisoner before these documents were proved. He argued that the jury might be prejudiced by hearing this indictment read. His lordship ruled against Mr. Johnson and the indictment was read to the jury. First Letter. The indictment is probably the longest that has ever been read in a British Columbia court. It contains 14 counts and is over six foolscap pages in length. In it are set forth a .number of letters and extracts from letters which the prisoner is alleged to have written and in which. the alle* threats are contained. The first letter is addressed to A. Posey, Coal Creek, and is dated Vancouver, April 3, 1911. It is as follows: "You evidently don't like the tone of my last letter as you havn't answered it. Now I dont care so much about hearing from you; but I don't like for a man to get hufed at me on account of a woman. I treated you fair and square and though I knew what was going on I let you alone. Now Mamie is still my wife and I am coming up there again in a*few weeks so you had better get her a divorce. \t I come up there and find you living with her and she hasn't got a divorce I will kill you on sight; Now don't think this is a joke for you .did me dirty and revenge will be lawful and sweet; but I would rather you have her get a divorce at once than to shoot you; but one or the other will certainly be done. No more at present. Hoping to retain your respect, I am yours ir earnest, (Signed) "N. R. WATKINS." "Please write and let me know what MOB SACKS CITY HALL AT ROME ROME, Oct. 16.—Believing the government intended to poison the cholera victims held in. quarantine, a mob tonight sacked the city hall arid then ■ burned it. The mayor, whom they sought, j you intend to do as 1 don't care to take ! your life if you put in for that divorce and marry at once." Made Mamie Drunk. Epistle No. 2, which the prosecution leges was sent from Vancouver by [ Watkins to Posey, runs: I received your letter today and answer at once. Now if you are telling me the truth which I dont believe you are, you are safe enough as far as I: am concerned, and I wouldn't have said anything about you living with her (For God knows I dont want her) if you hadn't got huffy; but now if I do catch you with her, you know what to | expect, if you are going to not heed \ this your blood be on your own -hands for I mean every word I have said, as far as me not supporting Mamie, I did | till you butted in and kept her always drunk. I hope that fellow will take her to N. Y. or some other foreign part. | Whatever you do dont. think I am joking for your days are numbered if 11 find you with Mamie and/l will be up : there soon." The next letter is said to have been sent by Watkins to Posey'from Mid-! dlesboro, B. C. An extract in the indictment reads: "If you keep on living with my wife after all the warning I have given you till I come up there and kill you, you have only yourself to blame.'' Posey Called Home Wrecker. - Another letter dated Middlesboro is in the same strain. The next extract, which is alleged to have been sent by Watkins to Posey-from Merritt is: "If* you have any earthly affairs to settle up before you leave this world it is time you got busy for vour time is short if I catch you with Mamie." This extract is also from Merritt: "It appears to me as though you are crazy and unless you keep away from my wife there will be one house wrecker less the day I see you. If you are with my* wife when I arrive, Doctors wont do you any sood." Beauty and Loving Disposition The last letter in the indictment is allleged to have been written by Watkins to his wife. It Is dated Merr tt, Aug. 15 last: "My Dear Wife—I know you are surprised to get this letter, but I am a fair man and^ifeiieve in giving a squar deal, though you made me very miserbal on account of my great love for you and though I know I can never be happy again without you I am willing to'do all I-can to help you get a divorce. While, I have no notion of ever marrying again as my love for you is so sacred to me; you with your beauty and loving disposition may at any time marry quite happily and possibally rich. So please go and consult those lawyers whom you tried to scar me with and ask them what a divorce will cost if you can prove the charge of non-support, cruel and unhuman treatment and desertion and let me know and if it isnt too much I will pay half .of the cost if your man will pay the other half which I am certain he will do if he loves you and loves his life for I intend to shoot him dead if I ever find him in the same house with you unless you have a divorce from me. "Now Mamie, whatever you intend to do please answer this letter and let me know what you think about the divorce proposition, Remember I have no selfish motive in asking you to do as I say. I just simply want to do the squar thing by the wife I promised before God and man to love and cherish. Hoping to hear from you soon as possible, I am.as ever; "Your loving husband." The members of the jury hearing the case are J. M. Ludwig, Lome Stewart, Alex. Cheyne, G. G. McLaren, G. W. Hale, L. H. Poole, William Batchelor, W. H. Houston, Alfred Bunker, L. K. Larson, John Cooper and Thomas Brown, foreman. Court Motions C. R. Hamilton, K.C., was gradted an application for foreclosure in the Bank of Montreal vs. Campbell and the Bank of Montreal vs. Harris. Judgment was reserved in an application by Mr. Hamilton for confirmation of sale in the case of Barrow vs. Topping. Fred C. Moffatt, acting for the attorney general, made aplication for an order for the holding of civil assizes at Fernie on Oct. 30, which was granted. COL. ROPER DEAD OTTAWA.

The boats destroyed were the Chor. Kun, the Chor Geung and the Chor Chay. Two other boats of the flotilla, one of which carried Sui Ching, viceroy of Pu-teh province, escaped. It is reported today at the local headquarters of the revolutionary government that •1,800 men under Gen. ChingPiao' revolted and joined the revolutionaries. From Hangwein it was reported that troops numbering 10,000 came over to join Li Yuen Hung, commander of the revolutionary army. British Chinese Interested The Chinese National association has wired Secretary Knox as follows: "The Chinese National association, representing four-fifths of the Chinese residents of the United States, British )Columb|ia and Mexico, earnestly request the United States best offices to maintain or preserve the neutrality of the powers toward the revolutionary struggle now ift progress in China in order that the nation in its entirety may be preserved and another government established." Control Many Provinces Another cablegram was received by the Free Press today from Shanghai. It read as follows: Although the Pekin government has strictly prohibited the sending of news' of the rebellion from the seat of the disturbances comes news of a serious nature, wh ch shows that the days of the Manchu regime are numbered. The revolutionary volunteer army is occupying several districts of the province of Sze- chuen. The imperial army of Honan is being sent south after having met the-revolutionists. The railway guards have rebelled against their officers and have been returned to. their former locations. Three thousand of the imperial soldiers joined the revolutionists. Three ship loads of foreign refugees, consisting of women and children have just arrived from Hankow. They report that the revolutionists have complete control in Hankow, San Yang and Wu Chang and are organizing the administration of the cities in those localities. Two Imperial Warships Sunk Gen. Lie Yuen Hung, a revolutionist leader, is leading 20,000 picked soldiers against the imperialists. The Hen- yang arsenal in the hands of the rebels is rushing work day and night * ting out ammunition and arms for the rebel army. . . Ki Fang Shi, opium collector of the province of Yen-sze-chang and treasurer of Yen-kow, has been kidnapped by the rebels. Two imperial warships near Hankow were destroyed yesterday by the guns.in the fores in Wu-chang. This makes three warships destroyed |by the rebels. * Yuen Shi Kai has refused the appointment of viceroy of the province of Shu-peh and Hunan, and Sen chun-hsuen has resigned from his post as military commander. Run on Native Banks. LONDON, Oct. 16—A dispatch to the Morning Post from Shanghai says there has been a run on native banks there, but up to the present only one bank has failed to meet the demands. The foreign banks have sent $5,000,000 to Hankow to help the Chinese bank there. Banks everywhere are sending their silver to Shanghai. Every steamer arriving in Shanghai is crowded with refugees. ■ The Chinese officials say that owing to the flight of the native operators from Hankow it is impossible to forward messages. It is suggested that the powers insist that the telegraph lines at Hankow be placed under foreign control. ATTORNEY GENERAL CHARGED WITH BREAKING BYLAW (Special to The Daily News.) VANCOUVER, Oct. 16.-Hon. W. Bowser, author of the provincial auto law, was himself charged in the police court today with a breach of the Vancouver street bylaw in leaving his auto standing in the street for a longer period than ten pjinutes.

The Winnipeg police want him on a charge of embezling $1,500 from his employers. He was arrested Saturday by a detective who had arrived the day before. He recognized him on the street. Keats admits his identity. NOT MOBILIZING ON FRONTIER ROME, Oct. 16—The Italian government emphatically denies the report which has been given currency that* Italy is mobilizing on the Austrian frontier. Reports from Cyrenecia estimate the total number of Turks in that territory at 500. A proclamation issued prohibits the importation of arms and grain. TURKEY AND ITALY STILL FAR APART Chances of Settlement Considered to Be Very Unfavorable-—German Action in China. BERLIN, Oct. 16.—The outlook for h successful intervention to bring to an end the Turko-Italian war is less favorable, according to a semi-official statement today. Italy has yielded to popular opinion at home and is no fcnger willing to concede a Turkish suzerainty for Tripoli, while on the other hand Turkey is not willing to surrender Tripoli unconditionally because of the international dangers that would be involved by sucn yielding on the part of the government, jj It is impossible for other powers to* negotiate definitely with Constantinople in the absence of a settled government truce. Although yesterday's report that the emperor had summoned the Italian ambassador-, Signor Pansa, to his majesty's hunting lodge in Prussia for a conference of the political situation proves to have been incorrect. The ambassador did have an extended conference with the German foreign minister, Heir von Kiderlin Waechteir. Today the emperor detained Chancellor von Beth- mann-Hollweg at his hunting lodge in order that they might discuss the Turko-Italian 'situation. The Chinese situation is almost as delicate a one and no surprise would be felt here if it caused international negotiations to determine on joint action by the powers. A German cruiser and a torpedo boat have sailed for Hankow by way, of Nanking. The commander of the German gunboat Tiger reports from Hankow that the American admiral has assumed command of the foreign warships at Hankow, the Japanese admiral Kawashima continuing at the head of the foreign land forces. Pacific Attempts Fail. LONDON, Oct. 16—The Chronicle's Vienna correspondent. declares lhat all diplomatic terms made to bring about peace have failed utterly. Italy has insisted [upon the unconditional annexation of Tripoli and Cyrenecia and refuses to give Turkey financial compensation. Another attempt at peace intervention, says the correspondent, may be made later. DISMISS MEN FOR REFUSING TO SIGN Winnipeg Saddlery Company is in Dispute with Employees Over Drastic Resolution WINNIPEG, Oct. 16—The trouble in the Great West Saddlery Co. which turned out ten of its employees last week for refusing to sign a drastic set of resolutions, is of more importance than at first thought, as more employees have been turned --out for similar cause. A mass meeting was held at Trades Hall last night for || purpose of preparing a statement of the case for presentation to the department of labor at Ottawa. Accompanying the statement will be a warning to the effect that the company may import foreign labor to replace the men locked out. CHOATES MARRIED FIFTY YEARS. LENOX, Mass., Oct. 16—Joseph H. Choate, the former ambassador to Great Britain, and Mrs. Choate today celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at Naumkeag, their country place in the Berkshires, surrounded by a large party of their relatives and friends from New York and other cities.

JOHN Date of Yale-Cariboo Nominations Not Set—Meeting of House OTTAWA, Oct. 16—After the Ouke of Connaught had sworn in Hon. Martin Burrell as minister of. agriculture, today, there were presented to him a * number' of orders in council for his signature, one of which gives effect to a change whereby polling for the by- elections for the return of new ministers is made Nov. 3 instead of Nov. 1 owing to the desire not to interfere, with All Saints' day. Another order in council provided for the payment by warrant of money for such of the civil servants as have been without salary through the- exhaustion of supplies passed by the house. The duke was at his office for an hour. This .evening the duchess attended the Mark Hambourg piano recital at the Russell theatre. Length of Session Uncertain OTTAWA, Oct , 16—Canadas' 12th parliament will meet for dispatch of business on Wednesday, Nov. 15. This was decided upon at a meeting of 'the cabinet council. A speedy decision as to the date on which the house will open' was necessary because'it is customary to give the members at least 30 days notice. , Parliament will meet on Tuesday in order to select a speaker and the usual opening ceremonies and the delegates' addresses will be proceeded* with on the following day; This is the customary course for the opening sw-ssi'm of a new parliament. ^^^^^^K No announcement was made as .to .' whether there would be a short session with a second session opening in midwinter or a single session with a regular adjournment over Christmas holidays. The course to be pursued will depend on developments, after the house meets. There is no possibility m all the business being disposed of before Christmas and of the second session not being held until next autumn. The estimates for the fiscal year 1912-13 could not be prepared in time to be dealt with before Christmas Besides the legislative program will be fairly ^heavy and as a cabinet minister remarked when discussing the matter, "The opposition has something to say about the duration of a session." Hazen for St. John Subsequent to the cabinet council it was stated that Hon. J. D. H&zen, minister of marine and fisheries^ will sit for St. John city and county, Dr. Daniel retiring in his favor. Hon. R. Rogers will sit for Winnipeg. No definite decision has as yet been reached a3 tc the constituency * which will be accepted by the minister of finance. By-elections in these three constituencies have still to be fixed, likewise the date for the by-election in Yale- Cariboo, which was only made vacant when Hon. Martin Burrell took the oath of office. Daniel For Senate Is Rumor. ST. JOHN, Oct. 16.—Dr. John Daniel, who was elected M. P. for the city and county of St. John ih the last election, will" resign his seat in order to provide a constituency for Hon. Mr. Hazen, minister of marine in the Borden government. It is understood that Senator Woods is to be appointed lieutenant-governor of New Brunswick on the expiration of Governor Tweedie's-term and Dr. Daniel will take Mr. Woods' place in the senate.

Chamberlain, vice-president and general manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific, in a statement given out today on the strike of machinists and boilermakers on the road, expresses dissatisfaction with the fact that there are. two clergymen on the board of conciliation. He maintains that the men are arbitrary in pressing for the settlement of the second point in dispute, the question of shop rules, after the first point, the equalization of wages had been settled in the men'sj favor.

VISIBLE SUPPLY GREATER THAN FOR TEN YEARS CHICAGO, Oct. 16—Although today, the first time since 1901, the visible supply of wheat in the United States went beyond 60,000,000, the price of the cereal made a gain of one-quarter to one-half cent net. t The chief reason for the advance was that the world's shipments for the week were much less than was expected. Not only were the world's shipments of wheat more than 5,000,000 bushels under the total for the corresponding year but the supplies afloat for importing, countries has decreased nearly 4 000,- * 000 bushels in the last seven days and were 12,000.000 bushels beneath the aggregate in 1910. On the other hand the effect of the huge piling up of stocks in the United States has been largely discounted, and to a considerable ex- tentwas offset by a decidedly improved cash ^demand. Nevertheless the re- markable sijse of the total amount of wheat immediately available in this country gave the market a temporary setback and caused an unsettled feeling. The, close, however, was at near ly the. top point of the day. BELMONT MAN GETS POST ON NATIONAL TRANSCONTINENAL WINNIPEG, Oct., 16—A. G.

F. Teetzel, government agent, J.. P. Ford, public works engineer and G. M. Benney, road supervisor were here last week, and" it is rumored that rStfiteir visit was in connection with the huilding in^e near future of a *$a^cV,bridge across the Pend d'Oreille river, as a- ^ttnecting link between Spokane and Nelson. Such abridge will be in urgent demand just as soon as the highway from Waneta to Ymir is. extended through to Nelson. Besides collectively winning the silver cup at the Trail fair, many individua ranchers from this valley were at the top in different classes,*'.;Amongst the ladies who won handsome prizes were Mrs. Free Adie, for fancy work and Mrs. William Reith, for a fine lot of preserves. In consequence of the good showing made al, the fair, several of the Trail hotel and store keepers have already placed locally large orders for onions and other vegetables. * WguMt . I An* engineer attached to the Dominior Conservation commission was here lasn week to enquire into the power resources of the Pend d'Oreille river. Fred Adie, fruit pest inspector, was in Nelson on official business last Friday. The ranchers are interesting themsel* in a project to build a telephone line up the valley. This line would either make connection with the existing telephone line at Boundaryjl'yyash., or be joined to-a line which it is proposed, shall be built from Trail down- by way of Columbia •Gardens. A. G. Lang has this year a nice lot oi filberts and Kentish cob nuts, and has also' grown some good tobacco from imported Cuban seed. A. D.

On her way west Madame Vstromskaja spent some time at the Winnipeg fair where she wrote a number of stories on Canadian dairy ing to her home country! Her nom de plume is Nichofaeff. i "I think I will remain in Canada.v I am very happy here," she replied when asked when she proposed to return to Russia. "Everyone seems to have such happy life in this fine country. But in Russia—Ah, I cannot tell you of the terrible (conditions under which the poorer classes of my fellow country men live. They have no joy, no pleas ure—nothing but hard work and, some times, Sibejfiy | \ "Yes, and it is those who fight for freedom from the oppression of our wicked government who most frequently walk the dread road to Siberia.

BEEKEEPING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA To the Editor of The Daily News: I I have been • in' this country a few weeks and having kept bees for many years in England have been interest ed in ascertaining what progress the industry has made here. I am sur prised to find considering the impor tance fruit growing has assumed that there are so few bees kept in the pro vince and that the only honey obtain able at any of the Nelson stores is Californian. There can be no question the two industries, fruit growing and beekeeping should go hand 'in hand nothing is so likely to benefit the fruin grower by ensuring more regular crops and more perfect fruit than cross-fertilization by bees. Anything I can do to increase the number of beekeepers and so further the production of honey in this country will give me great W. J.

Men Want "Straight Hours" or Flat Ten Hour Day—Explain Alleged Wrongs. MONTREAL, Oct. 16—Twenty three gangs, comprising 150 freight handlers employed in the C. P. R. sheds on the wharf went on strike this afternoon, demanding "straight hours" or a flat 10 hours a day's work. They claim that if they leave work at 5:55 they are docked a half an hour, and if they start at 7:15 they are credited 30 minutes late. They assert that this is the third time this season that they have struck, but they say they always returned to work on the promise that the matter would be regulated. At 3 o'clock this afternoon they held a meeting in the Longshoremen's hall, when there was considerable talk of joining the Longshoremen's union.

Oct. 16—There may be an investigation into the tardiness of the guard of honor for the Duke of Connaught at Quebec which kept the royal governor general waiting ten minutes. Hon. Col. Sam Hughes, minister of militia would not give out any statement when seen, but said: "There will be a report on the matter." 'Will there be any investigation?" he was asked. "That I cannot say at present," he replied. It is said that a certain staff officer delayed the guard in Quebec for his inspection after the guard had already been inspected by its officers and was ready to move off on time. Cluny and heavy macrame laces are in great, favor and may be said to' prac- tically lead the new lace vogue.

Tbe score was Philadelphia 3, New York 1. The paid admissions were 26,286. The big bit came in the sixth frame with two men down, and when the fighting Philadelphians had touched up Rube Marquard of the Giants for only three safe bits. Baker's wallop was the last in the game for the American leaguers but it was sufficient. Just as important as Baker on the offensive was Eddie Plank, Mack's star twirler. Only one New Yorker reached the middle bag and that was Herzog, who lined out a long hit to centre which Oldring either misjudged or lost in the sun. Plank never was in bad and in the last six innings New York went out in order. Marquard on whom Manager MoGraw bad pinned his faith to make it two straights for New York, pitched a game that was almost the equal of that of Plank. He allowed the heavy hitting Athletics but four safe hits, two in the first inning in which the American leaguers got their first tally, with the help of a wild pitch, and two in the sixth, Collins' double and Baker's homer. In the eighth Manager Mc- Graw changed pitchers, sending in Crandall, a right hander. The New York left hander only once during the game showed any unsteadiness and that was in the first inning. He appeared nervous and for a time had trouble in reading Myers* signals, But Marquard under the steady-coaching of his Indian catcher, soon steadied down and he had no more trouble until Baker broke up the game in the sixth. Marquard, however, was hit harder than the score indicates. Five outs were long flies to Devore and one long fly to Snodgress. New York sent only three flies to the outfield, two of which were captured by Lord and one by Oldring. Plank had eight strikeouts, Devore fanning four times, Marquard twice and Snodgrass and Murray once each. Six Philadelphians struck out. They stance. R. J. STEEL Room 7, Griffin Block.

Neither Plank nor Marquard gave a base on balls. The only misplay charged against them was Marquard's wild heave in the first inning, and a man hit by a pitched ball by Plank. Philadelphia's first run came in the first inning. Lord, the first man up singled to right and reached second on Murray's fumble. He was sacrificed to third by Oldring and came home on Marquard's wild pitch. The fielding honors today were the reverse of those of Saturday with the particular features Lord's fielding of iSnodgrass and his throw to second which caught the fleet footed centre fielder by a couple of yards when he was trying to stretch the hit into a double. In the ninth inning .Collins took a nasty bounder from the side and tossed out Murray, iding the game. Philadelphia went through the game without a miscue, while New York had three errors. One of these| was made by Devore who muffed Barry's long fly, another by Murray who fumbled Lord's hit. He also muffed a foul sent up by Lord.

MRS. ARM3RISTE3 904 STANLEY ST. Box 1012 Kansas City Doctor Will Once Again Face Jury on Charge of Murdering Family. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 16.—Unless there is some change made necessary by circumstances unforseen • now, the second trial of Dr. B. Clark Hyde for the alleged murder of Col. Thomas H. Swope will begin in the criminal courts here this week. The case is one of the most celebrated in the criminals of this section of the country. Colonel Swope, the alleged victim of the murder plot, was one of Kansas City, and was widely known a millionaire and philantrophist. Dr. Hyde, the alleged murderer, was a physician in good standing. Hints that other members of the Swope family had met with mysterious deaths deepened the public interest in the case. The first trial of Dr. Hyde ended May 16, 1910, and resulted in a verdict of guilty and life imprisonment. Dr. Hyde's inability properly to explain the purchase of capsules of potassium cynide was chiefly responsible for his conviction. The first of a series of deaths in the Swope family was the death of James Moss Huntoon, on Oct. 1, 1909; The prosecution charged Hyde purposely bled the patient beyond the limit, of recovery. Two days later Colonel Swope was striken with convulsions and died. Witnesses testified that a few mniutes before the convulsion Dr. Hyde had given Colonel Swope a capsule—similar to the syanide capsules it was shown he had bought. Colonel Swope's will, leaving $1,600,- 000 to relatives was filed, and then M* Provincial Trade Notices of leading manufacturers, merchants, etc., in the principal provincial towns and industrial centres of the United Kingdom. ■' A copy of the current edition Will be forwarded, freight prepaid, on receipt of a postal order for 20s.

I Exact Site of the Big Car Shops Officially Announced And on the exact spot predicted by us in our advertising talks with you for the past six jnonths, and now that our predictions have come to be facts today you surely qannot hesitate any longer if you want to make money quickly. Another prediction we have been making is: The greatest development in connection with these big car shops will be south and south- €ast of the car shops site. Our advice is to buy right if you want to sell right, and let the price be a secondary consideration, and we claim that our advice to you for the past six months has proved to be absolutely correct in every detail. You have the proof direct from the C.P.R. officially. A Pointer for You. This j^iot a prediction, but a bald statement of facts. None of the C. P.R. officials have boughtifiny property north of the location for the shops. There's a Reason, a#§ the fact Mt the men who should know have bought south and southeast of the shops location whefe our lots are situated is the strongest kind of backing possible jr for our advice to you. Another Point worth Refnembering. If you have ever been in any city where large shops o; big manufacturin^plants are located, you will find that after the first excitement has died down the property joining the big industries has always depreciated in value, principally on account- of tr/smoke and dirt from the plants. It is the property that lies within a reasonable distance' from the industries that in the end commands the big prices and the / staple prices, and we predict that C. E R.

Then Chrisman Swope and two other relatives mentioned in the will became ill with typhoid.. Dec. 6. Chris- man Swope died, having convulsions similar to his uncle, Colonel Swope. Two days later, two more girls—legatees under the will—became ill with typhoid fever, and nurses' at the trial testified that Hyde had inoculated the sick persons with the fever germs. The repeated and continued illness and the two sudden deaths aroused suspicion and a secret autopsy was made in the exhumed body of Colonel Swope. and later that of Chrisman. On the, toxi- cologists' reports and the testimony of a druggist who sold Hyde the potassium, as well as that of nurses in the Swope home and of the typhoid patients, Hyde was convicted. Mrs. Hyde, a niece of Colonel Swope, stuck by her husband, and against her relatives, and went on the stand in his behalf, but in vain. On April 11 ^ast, the Missouri supreme court granted Dr. Hyde a new trial. Since that time the convicted physician has been at liberty on bail, and has spent the most of his time in Michigan and in the northwest. The prosecution of the second trial is to be handled solely by the prosecutor's office. In the first trial, Mrs. Logan O. Swope, widow of Colonel Swope, spent a small fortune in the employment of special counsel and expert witnesses to aid the prosecution. PUT STRYCHNINE IN HUSBAND'S 'V^fFEE IS CHARGE ONTOMAGON, ' Mich., Oct. 16—After nearly five months spent in a jail cell, Mrs. Laura Standard, member of a wealthy and prominent family of this section, was-arraigned in the On- agon county court today to stand trial for the alleged murder of her husband. On the day of his death, Charles stan dard, the alleged victim of the tragedy, came home at daybreak in a condition of intoxication, it is said. He went to bed after drinking some coffee, said to have been prepared by his wife, and soon afterward died in convulsions. The prosecution allege that strychnine was.put in the coffee, while Mrs. Standard maintains that what she put in the cup was a powder to cure her husband Of the drink habit. Much public sympathy is felt for the woman because of her previous high standing in the community and the fact that she is tlie mother of four little children.

FOSTER, Editor and Manager. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17 HOW PREFERENTIAL TRADE WORKS* That Imperial preferential trade is . more than a name is shown by the result of its adoption in' New Zeala ' It has resulted in increasing the trade relations between that country a^dl Great Britain, while that with the United States is falling off in many lines and' not advancing in others. Recently the United States sent trade agent to New Zealand to learn the reason why American trade with New Zealand was declining and It did t not take him long to discover. His report is now on file in Washington, Discussing the matter the Ottawa Journal says: •At the Imperial Conference of 1902 the representatives of the overseas ^do- • minions at the Imperial, Conference concurred in passing a resolution to the effect that the principle of preferential trade would stimulate and facilitate mutual commercial intercourse and would by promoting the de- ' velopment of the resources • and indus- . tries of the several parts, strengthen the empire. In 1904, two years after the conference of 1902, when the resolution was first adopted, New Zealand put it into effect by establishing a preferential tariff. Prior to that year a considerable and increasing export trade' passed from the United States to-New Zealand. After the introduction of the preferential principle it steadily declined and this year a United States • vice-consul visited the lesser dominions on special service for the treasury department for the purpose of discovering the cause of the decline. This he had no trouble in doing. Nothing but the preference accounted for the fall in United States exports and the corresponding increase in the imports,into New Zealand from the United Kingdom and from Canada. In his report the vice-consul states that Oregon and Washington have now lost to British Columbia the greater part of their business in potted and preserved fish, which includes chiefly tinned salmon. In hardware products and in nails, New Zealands' imports have been showing considerable gain, but the United States, instead of participating in the increase, has lost ground. In these lines Canada, which eight years ago had practically no trade at all is now taking an important position, as also in furniture, cabinets and upholstery,- imports of which from Canada now exceed those from the United States. An especially severe loss to American trade is that in boots and shoes, imports of which from the United States have declined in value from $513,859 in 1903 to $80,893 in 1910. Imports from, the United Kingdom in the meantime have nearly doubled in value, from $565,757 in 1903 to $1,096,768 in 1910. 'Baltimore,;McL, Nov. 11, 1903./ Minard's Liniment Co., LiitfKed.

TORONTp, Ont., Oct. 16—Thirty-one cities reporting to the Financial Post, show a total expenditure in building operations for September for the- month of $12,481,851, compared with $5,610,078 last year, the increase reaching 65."" per cent. This remarkable gain again demonstrated the phenomenal development that is going on in Canada. Ten of the cities show a decline but in amounts too small to seriously affect the total gain.

Day, Chancellor of Syracuse university, was born in Washington county, Me,, on this date in 1845, and received his education at Bowdon college. He entered the Methodist ministry in 1872, and filled various pastorates in New England cities before he was called to the pulpit of Calvary Methodist Episcopal church in New York City. While he was pastor of this ■cliurc)-, in 1893, he was elected chancellor of Syracuse university, which now has faculties numbering 250, and an enrollment of nearly 3.500 students. Dr. Day Is recognized as one of the foremost educators in the United. States, and as a preacher he is said to have few equals in the Methodist communion. He was elected a bishop of * the ' Methodist Episcopal church in 1904 but resigned in order to continue his work at the university, GARDEN OF EDEN1 WEDDING PROPOSED The jumper design has been furiously revived for dressy shirt waists.

PURIFIEDjHIS BLOOD Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills Healed Mr. Wilson's Sores When the sewers of the body—bowels, kidneys and skin ducts—get clogged up, the blood quickly becomes impure and frequently sores break out over the body. The way to' heal them, as Mr. Richard Wilson, who lives near Ijpdon, Ont., found, is f to purify tl# blood. He writes: # "For soine time I Ma been in a low, depressed conditioner My appetite left me and /soon be^m to suffer from indigestion/ Quitejfnumber of small sores and bleaches farmed all over my skin. I tried mtdxtiM for the blood and used many kin^j of ointments, but without satisfactory results. What was wanted was a thorough cleansing of the blood, and I looked about in vain for some medicine that would accomplish this. At last Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills were brought to my notice, and they are one of the most wonderful medicines I have ever known. My blood was purified in % very short time, sores healed up, my indigestion vanished. They always haye a place in my home and are looked upon as the family remedy."

DENVER, Colo., Oct. 16.—"The Gar den of Eden was Located in New Mexico and some of the original apple trees are still standing." This is the claim made by many people of one of the newest states in the union, and New Mexico is making considerable noise about the matter recently due to the activity in the apple districts of that state in preparation for the American .apple exposition, which will be held in Denver the Veek of Noy. 12. Apples from these trees will be exhibited at the show. Of course the counter claim is made that the aforesaid apples were planted by the Spanish invaders some 300 years ago. Be that as it may the trees are standing near the town of Man- zano, which is the Spanish word for apple, and in the vicinity of the old ruins of Cuara, Abo and Grand Quivira. And it must be admitted that the apples that will be exhibited from these trees at, the Denver show wlil be a classy display. ^^^^^ Legend has it that the original settlers were driven out of the country or killed by the Comanche Indians and other tribes of savages that infested that section. When the Mexicans resettled the country about 100 years ago, they found the trees still standing and bearing fruit, and they named the town Manzano. So the fact is Undisputed that the trees are at least more than 100 years old. The management of the, apple show has decided to hold a Garden of Eden wedding one night during the show. The given name of the groom must be Adam, and that of the bride Eve. If such a couple can be found in any state on the American continent, the ceremony will be preformed on a stage in the center*- of the big auditorium; where it will be witnessed by 12,000 people, which is the capacity of the building. The couple will be given a handsome wedding present, and also will be oresent'ed with the apples from the trees which are said, by some peo- For Quick and Prompt Messenger Service Ring 4** City Messenger Office Satisfaction Guaranteed Special Brass and Iron Beds Brass Bed, same as cut .00, Iron Beds $5 and up Standard furniture Company Complete House Furnishers & Funeral Directors The New "Swan" Safety Can't Leak, Blot or Miss Offered at a Sacrifice * 92 acres with quarter-mile main lake frontage, one mile south of Craw- . for-t Bay.

CHARGE AGAINST CLEUGH DISMISSED LOCAL CHINESE SUPPORT REVOLT Nelson Orientals Have Contributed to Dr. Sun Yat Sen's Big War Fund, Declares Local Tyee Chinese in British Columbia are taking a great interest in the revolution fathered by Dr. Yat Sen, and have contributed heavily to the big campaign fund which has been raised on this continent, admitted a merchant Chinaman of Nelson last night, who would only consent to talk on the subject on condition that his name be withheld. "Nelson has sent much money," he said, when asked if the local Orientals were in accordance with the movement. "Emperor too strong; too rich, too much money; people -too poor, many starve," were the reasons given for the satisfaction which he expressed at the apparent success' of the revolt against the Manchu dynasty. "How much have Nelson Chinese contributed to Dr. Sen?" he was asked.' "Two thousand, three .thousand dollars," was the reply.

A.^. Hobbs advocated two eyes to the seed, and harrowing the ground up -after the potatoes had been in a fortnight. Having the soil in good shape, using good seed, and keeping the ground well cultivated, ' were also necessary to obtain good results. The. next meeting is fixed for the second Saturday in November.
