FEBRUARY 26. 1912 NO. 271 Will Be Candidate for Presidency if Party Says So DECLARES FOR DIRECT PRIMARY Colonel Makes Brief But Definite Announcement that He Seeks White House Job NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—"I will accept the nomination for president if lt Is tendered me and I will adhere to thla until the country has expressed Its preference," Ib Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's reply to the letter of seven Republican governors asking him to stand for nomination. The much awaited reply was given out tonight at Colonel Roosevelt's office here during his absence on a trip to Boston. It was unexpectedly brief, but definite, as follows:' "Gentlemen, I deeply appreciate your letter and I realize to the full the heavy responsibility lt presents to me, expressing as lt does the carefully considered convictions of the men elected by popular vote to stand at the heads of * the governments of their several states. "I absolutely agree with you that this matter is not one to be decided with any reference to the personal preferences or interests of any man, but purely from the standpoint of the Interests of the people as- a whole. I will - accept the- nomination for president If it is tendered to me, and I will adhere to this declaration until the convention has expressed its .preference. Stands for Direct Primary. "One of the chief principles for which I have stood and for which I now stand, and which I havo always endeavored and always shall endeavor to reduce to aefion, Is a general rulo of by people and I hope that so far as possible the people may be given the chance through direct primaries to express their preference as to who shall be the nominee of the Republican presidential convention. Very truly yours, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." For two weeks. Roosevelt considered the letter, Indicating plainly that he had no intention of making a hasty reply. The governors who signed the letter were William B. Glass of West Virginia; Chester H. Aldrlch of Nebraska, Robert P. Bass of New Hampshire, Joseph M. Carey of Wyoming, Charles E. Soverln of Michigan, W. R. Stubbs of Kansas and Herbert S. Hadley of Missouri. BOTH PARTIES NOW SUPPORT YUAN He Holds Political Future of Opponents in His Hands—Works up Feeling About. Capital PEKIN, Feb. 26—The government is preparing an elaborate reception for the delegation which is coming here under the leadership of Tang Shang of Nan king to notify Yuan Shi Kal of his election as president of the republic. The people, however, seem to be Indifferent respecting the momentous visit. Telegrams have been received from various sections of the country embodying proposals with respect to the future capital. It is believed that Yuan Shi Kai Is secretly inspiring this with the object of dividing the south on the matter of the location of the capital. While Yuan Shi Kai realizes the Im perativeness of uniting the country, he is proceeding confidently in the knowledge that he possesses the means of converting or politically defeating his opponents. Apparently the country ls very much in favor of Yuan Shi Kal as president Many soldiers who are not Republicans have given their full adherence to the president elect and Yuan holds the confidence of. both Manchus and Chinese, which probably Indicates that the suspicion that he was double dealing was unwarranted. The new government has decided tbat the.country shall hereafter be officially styled the "Great Republic of China," the word "great" being Intended to Include Thibet, Turkestan, Mongolia and Manchuria. It has practically been decided to convert the Forbidden City Into a government enclosure where all the offices will be situated. When the empress dowager and emperor depart, the extensive grounds about the winter palace will be converted Into a public park. PROVINCES MAY BE REPRESENTED Govenment Asks Them to Appoint Counssl to Watch Interests at Ne Temere Hearing OTTAWA, Feb, 26—The government has decided to ask'all the provincial governments to name counsel of their own to represent tbem in connection with the supreme court hearing of the stated case in regard to the ne temere decree which will be argued before that court at the close of the mid-winter session which recently opened. BE8T SHOTS IN CANADIAN FORCES TO GET BADGES OTTAWA, Feb. 25.—Military orders just issued announce that there will be badges awarded to the best shot in each regiment or squadron of cavalry, regl ment or battery of artillery, company of engineers, regiment of Infantry, company of the army service and corps of the militia. The badge will be awarded to the man obtaining the highest figure of merit which will be arrived at by dividing the total number of points obtained by the number of rounds'fired. Church Must Rule Over Marriage, Sags Bruchesi MONTREAL, Feb. 26.—Archbishop Bruchesi, who pronounced the ecclesiastical decree, later given civic effect by Mr. Justice Laurendeau, denouncing the Hebert marriage and bringing to a head the antl-ne temere agitation, preached today on the subject of marriage as viewed by the Roman Catholic church. Great interest waB taken in the event owing to the recent decision of Mr. Justice Charbonneau declaring the Hebert marriage valid in the eyes of the civil law. His grace said In part: "The, agitation carried on from one end of the country to the other, the more or less violent articles' appearing In several Protestant newspapers against the wise and beneficent, but evidently ill-understood legislation of the Catholic church and the deductions gathered from a recent Judgment of the civil courts Impose upon me the duty to raise my voice, not for the purpose of trying, to interpret the text of the hu- | man laws but ln order to solemnly af- firm the ever immutable principals of I our faith touching the august sacrament of marriage as well as the sacred legislation of the church which neither jurists, atheists nor the finding of civil tribunals can ever abrogate or modify. "Have we ever seen a Catholic priest celebrate the marriage of two persons belonging to other than the Roman Catholic faith? No, indeed. If Protestant ministers had acted ln this manner and if they had declined to celebrate the marriage of Imprudent and guilty Catholics upon the simple presentation of a civil permit, without making Inquiries us to age and other conditions, -we \ would never have had to deplore these scandals which so greatly trouble our l society. , Faithful Will Remain Loyal. "If govarnments make laws for the valid and legitimate celebration of marriage, and if these laws contradict ihnse of the church, the latter can in no way be afraid for the reason that ths faithful and all those to whom the laws of the church apply will remain loyal unless they want to be excluded from her sacred Jurisdiction." He then quoted the He temere decree and proceeded: "So here ls this ne temere decree with which a somre has been created throughout the land and whioh they represent as an attempt to destroy the peace of families and the liberty of conscience. A marriage celebrated outside these essential conditions, the conditions mentioned in this decree, is consequently null, both as regards conscience and religion. It is a very easy thing, however, to render such a union valid, .as they have only to present 'themselves before a competent minister. Should they, however, refuse the case Is submitted to the ordinary of the diocese. The latter has but one sentence to render and that ls to declare the marriage Invalid according to the canon law. Marriage Belongs to Church. "Marriage, like all other sacraments, belongs to the church and consequently lt belongs to the church to direct everything that concerns the validity ot_ marriages. 'Such was the doctrine of the Catholic church. before the Protestant reformation and such will It be tn all time. If, however, our separated brethren have rejected It, If they have made marriage a simple contract submitted like all others to the civil power which may be dissolved or governed at its will let them at' least allow us to remain faithful to our secular traditions and In the name of that liberty whioh they claim for themselves let them permit us to act according to the convictions of our faith. "Whatever happens the holy laws of the church on the marriage question will always continue to bind the conscience of Its children and these alone in .the eyes of the church will be worthy of the title of husband and wife who will have contracted a marriage according to her forms and rulings," Prepares to Meet Possible British Strike WORKERS MAY GET MINIMUM WAGE Government Organ Is Hopeful of Settlement—State Operation Urged NORFOLK, Va., Feb. 25.—The British government has begun buying coal at this port and four British steamers have been chartered to come here and take it to Gibraltar, where it Is to be diverted to the British admiralty. The four steamers are expected to take approximately 25,000 tons. That the British navy ls ln urgent need of this fuel would seem to be made apparent by the freight rate which the government has undertaken to pay the steamers, which ls $5 a ton. This Is only 40 cents less than the ocean rate to San. Francisco. Small Hope of Settlement. LONDON, Feb. 26.—One of thc largest mine owners In England, who has taken part ln the conference with the government, expressed the opinion tonight that the only hope of preventing a coal strike which will involve more than 800,000 miners is for the government to persuade the men to postpone their notices. James Haslam, the Labor member for Derbyshire and the agent of the Derbyshire Miners' association, has stated emphatically that this ls impossible, as the miners haye decided to stand together and the Welshmen will persist in laying down their tools on Feb. 29 unless their demands are acceded to, Mr. Haslam added that the Derbyshire miners could settle the whole question in' 24 hours, but they could not break away from their fellow-workers in other fields. Welsh Labor Leaders. Fighting. In other quarters a more optimistic feeling prevails based on a lack of harmony among the Welsh leaders, which may lead to a postponement of the notices. It is understood that Premier Asquith and Chancellor Lloyd-George will endeavor to induce the miners at Tuesday's conference to hold their notices In abeyance temporarily and the owners to deal with all questions which have arisen, except that relating to the equal wage, at once, leaving the matter to be negotiated later. In the English districts, in case of a strike, the miners will be permitted to keep the mines clear. Chronicle Is Hopeful. LONDON, Feb. 25.—The Dally Chron- icle says that the premier, the foreign secretary, the chancellor of the exchequer and the president of the board of trade are expected to attend the meeting of the miners' federation on Tuesday and that unless the federation declines to hear him, which Is not like ly, Mr. Asquith will address the meeting. The Chronicle expresses the con ftdent opinion that the strike will be avoided nnd that the battle for a minimum wuge is virtually over, only the working details requiring adjustment. It believes that If the coal owners refuse to concede a minimum wage the government Is likely to propose legislation to establish the principle of a minimum wage and the reference of the details to an arbitration commission. Urge Drastto Methods. The Daily Mall, in an editorial, urges the government to take drastic measures to prevent the coal strike and suggests that the government might appoint receivers to work the mines and render an account to the mine owners afterwards, or by the compulsory purchase of all the coat already above ground bring pressure to bear upon the disputants and secure a delay In which to discover whether by the granting of a minimum wage or in other ways a means can be found to solve the problem. The Daily News believes that the government's negotiations with the mine owners give hopes of a settlement on the basis of a minimum wage and that the Welsh owners have been persuaded to acquiesce ln any settlement arrived at on the English side. C. P. R. IS NOT BUILDING TO HUDSON'S BAY YET MONTREAL, Feb. 26—In answer to a question .requesting to know If there was any truth In the report that the Canadian Pacific railway contemplated building a road from some western point to Hudson's Bay, following pretty much the same course as the Hudson's Bay railway. Sir Thomas Shaughnessy said with surprise that nothing could be more unlikely. Other C.P.R. officials well versed in railway knowledge- aald they thought suoh a scheme would not pay for years until the population along that nprth- ern route Was far more dense than lt is at present. Another distinguished citizen of Nelson ls Harry Bird, mining engineer, real estate man and one time owner of a flour mill and trader with the Indians In the Moose Mountain district, a- couple ot hundred miles west of Winnipeg. He was born at Cheltenham, Eng., on Sept. 8, 1S67, which in the days or the (Romans used to be considered a pretty good time to make Initial entry Into the world for during the first week in September the Caesars celebrated ftie ludi mueni, the feasts of Jupiter, Juno and Minerva. His birth presided over 'by such dieties aa these Harry Bird could hardly fall to enter the distinguished citizen class at an early date. At Clifton college he learned reading, writing, arithmetic and a n-ood many other things and then went into the mining engineering business with a London firm. His aptitude for breaking off little bits ot rock with a pick and for wisely discoursing upon winzes, and leads, and ledges, and blanket ledges and other mysterious things from which ls torn a big proportion of the world's legal tender earned him a Job four years later as consulting engineer for Sir. Francis Bolton of London. From* which it will be seen that tlie king of the heavens and tils two consorts were not neglecting his interests. They could not associate him with any other dieties because about that time tbe glory of the gods and goddesses of mythology was badly faded, Ibut they landed him In the hands of a baronet, which was apparently the nest best tilling. - Harry Bird managed a mine In France for a while and then enjoyed, while acting for Sir Francis, two brief experiences of the tropics. He went twice .to Mexico, but frljoles, enchiladas and chill con came did not appeal to him much after the roast beef and Yorkshire pudding of old England; the climate was too hot, the towns were too smelly and Bird did not stay. In 18S7 he crossed the herring pond and located at Moose Mountain, He built a flour mill and .bartered beads and blankets powder and lead in exchange for furs and buffalo meat with the Indians. If he had stayed long enough he would have been a young Hudson's Bay company, and In the ten years or so he did remain at Moose mountain he did something the Hudson's Bay people haven't done yet, and that was to establish a village. He called It Con- nington Manor, a pretty name, though It doesn't sound like a place in Canada, He began to assist ln the building up of Nelson and Kootenay in 1699, when he opened a real estate and Insurance office here, handled investments of various kinds and secured the agency for the C. P. B. lands in this district, a territory 76 miles square. ^ WILL START GOOSE BAY SMELTER SOON Plant Will Have Initial Capacity of Two Thousand Tons Day—To Handle Custom Ores.

Sylvester, of thc Granby company. states that construction work on the proposed smelter at Goose Bay, Portland Canal, will be started early this spring.

Surface operations will be resumed ln the spring when there will be a payroll of probably 400 to 500 men. WANT TO ABOLISH QUEBEC PARLIAMENT Provlnolal Federation of Labor Would Like to See Legislature Done Away With MONTREAL, Feb. 25—At a meeting of .officers and delegates of the National Trades and Labor council of Montreal yesterday It was decided unanimously to organize a provincial federation of labor similar to the state federations In the United States. The new labor organization will deal with provincial politics and will in no way interfere with the economic side of the labor movement. This. It was said, would be left ln the hands of the various International unions and trade councils. The provincial federation will deal with the labor legislation before the local legislature and it was said that one of Its first acts would be to seek the abolition of the legislative assembly of the province of Quebec. Y Women Lawyers May Allowed to Practice BUDGET DEBATE IS CONCLUDED Member for Green wood Says District Will Benefit by Railway Policy (Special to The Dally News.) VICTORIA, B. C, Feb. 25.—On Saturday ln the provincial legislature the debate on the budget was concluded ln a single day, and In addition the estimates passed through committee in their entirety without any serious opposition. Four of the railway bills were also given their third reading, while u largo number of bills were Introduced, notable among these being one designed to allow women lawyers to practice in British Columbia, Seven members took part in the budget debate, namely, Messrs. Williams, Parson, W. Manson, Macgowan, Hay- ward, Jackson and Brewster. Mr. Parson drew attention to some of the needs and possibilities of his district, with particular emphasis on the agricultural potentialities of Columbia valley shortly to be opened up by the C. P. R. branch line to the south. For Public Service Commission. A. H. B. Mucgowan said he would like to see a municipal commission appointed to draw up amendments to the present act. He also wanted a public service commission to provide cheap and effectual means for the settlement of any' industrial dispute that might arise. In the matter of railroadB he favored government ownership, but realized that the public did not yet approve of this principle. W. H. Hayward took strong exception to Orientals being allowed to own land In the province. It certainly was, he said, a very penny wise and pound foolish policy for British Columbians to say that they wanted no Orientals within their borders and at the same time to permit these people In a measure to become part of their own body political by allowing them to purchase land. It was a matter that should be taken up with the Dominion government at once. Greenwood Will Benefit. J. R. Jackson said that the construction of the Kettle River Valley road to the coast would give Greenwood direct communication with Pacific ports. While conditions in mining there had not been of the best during recent months, he could say that with the present outlook continuing In the coal fields they might anticipate an early revival In the Industry. H. C. Brewster, after criticizing tne government for rushing legislation" said he considered the taxation report good one. In spite of it, however, the revenue tax was again provided for ln the estimates for the coming year. To Regulate Pool Rooms, Among the new billB introduced were: For the amendment of the Municipal act, amendments of the Municipal Elections act, the Mutual Fire Insurance Companies act, the Bills of Sales act, the bill for the regulation of pool rooms in unorganized distrlots, and a bill providing for the establishment of an Industrial home for girls at Vancouver. Prorogation will be reached by Wednesday. MAGISTRATE AND LAWYER CLASH Hamilton King's Counsel Tells Cadi ho is Liar and Refuses to Apologize HAMILTON, Ont, Feb. 25—Magistrate Jelfs and M.

MONTREAL, Feb. 26.—It took Ottawa 22 minutes to outscore the Canadlens last night and while they skated from the Ice with the long end of a three to two tally to their credit, they were mighty lucky to pull out with a victory, for during the extra 22 minutes the champions were penned in around their own poles for more than half the time and it was only the magnificent work of Percy Leseur in the nets that saved them from defeat. One minute before the gong sounded in the first period Barragh put the Senators one goal in the lead and from then till well on in the last session the Canadlens battled bravely but ln vain to pull even. For 32 minutes and a half both teams worked at full speed without a tally following the efforts of either. Then Pug Glass brought the packed house to Its feet with the tying score, the last to be netted during the regular period. Changing ends when the gong rang for full time, the teams fought on, plowing through the ice, which had become heavier and heavier as the game progressed. Stumbling, almost blind with fatigue, Dubbie Ken- broke through the cordon of Frenchmen that were making things look desperate for the champions and beat Vezina with a perfect shot from the left wing, Just 82 minutes from the first face, as time Ib figured on the timekeeper's watch.

It Looks as if Eastern Lacrosse Men Have Declared War on West ■*% B. Leaders. MONTREAL, Fed- SS.<—The president of the British Cblumbia Lacrosse league and the chief executive of the Dominion lacrOBse union will confer In Winnipeg early ln April In order to establish a basis for a national commission for lacrosse. This was the determination of the delegates from the several clubs composing the new lacrosse body, which convened In the city yesterday. During the course of the meeting two telegrams were read from Con Jones urging the action upon them, "but apart from suggestions of the western magnate entirely, the scheme of a national commission recommended itself to the Dominion lacrosso union delegates. After Bome discussion it was determined to remove the salary limit r,f $8,000 imposed on the clubs earlier the year. All mention of a salary 1'imit was erased from the constitution, and the matter left In abeyance until it became more evident what the clans' liabilities ln the matter of hiring players really would be. ThiB looks like a declaration of war which ls offset to a certain extent by the agreement to establish a national commission. The delegates from the National Lacrosse club were fervent tn their assurance of loyalty to the new body when lt was suggested that they intended to back out. To thla club will be given the first choice of all the French-Canadian players. Signing of Incorporation papers and the adoption of the playing rules and other routine business con sumed the balance of the afternoon, and the newspaper men who were waiting outside for news were assured that the mooting had been a most satisfactory one.

CRAWFORD BAY TO HAVE GOLF LINKS Sir John Eardley Wilmot Has Secured Ten Thousand Pounds to Finance Scheme. Golf links costing $60,000 will be prepared at Crawford Bay, according to a communication which has reached the city from Sir John Eardley Wilmot of Grey's Creek, who states that he has secured £10,000 to finance the scheme. It ls believed that Sir John proposes to construct a course with nine holes, which will later be doubled to the full course of 18 holes.

S., Feb. 25.—A report reached the city last night that the Allan shafts of the Acadia Coal company were on fire and that it had been necessary to wall in a considerable section of the mine. The fire, lt was reported, started about a week ago. The mine is now practically idle. The management was just preparing to drain off the old Ford pit which has been flat edged since the great explosion many years ago. The Allan shaft workings are underneath the Ford and lt was proposed to drive boring holes into thc latter pit so as to run off the water in tho Allan shafts which could be pumped out. For these operations a number of concrete dams for holding the water were being built and It is stated that these are all in the section of the mine which is being walled off. The Acadia has just finished equipping the Allan shafts at a cost of upwards of $2,000,000. HEAVY INCREASE IN C. P. R. WEEKLY EARNINGS MONTREAL, Feb. 25.—C. P.

RITHET & CO., Ltd., Vlotoria, B.C. PROVINCE NOW IN SPLENDID POSITION Hon. Price Ellison in Budget Speech MakM tSomc Instructive , Comparisons. Testimony to the strong financial position of British Columbia and to the betterment of condition!* during recent years ls given by Hon. Price Ellison, minister of finance, who in the course of his budget speech spoke as follows: "A study of these figures will, sir, I think, bring home to the house more eloquently than anything I can say the extraordinary progress of the province during the period under review, the year ending March 31, 1911, "Omitting the item of land sales, the Increase In the revenue tax marks the growth of the population, the heavy surplus In registry fees tells the tale of further capital coming Into the country to seek investment, while the growth in timber licenses. In royalties and taxes on coal, and in fishery and canning licenses presents a picture of the rapid exploitation of the country and of the growth In industrial enterprises. "And it is reasonable to hope, from the statistics which are already within my knowledge, that when tho time comes next session to compare the estl ■mates for the year ending March 31, 1912, with the public accounts for ths same period which will be put Into your hands, Mr. Speaker, in January next, the same flattering tale of substantial and ever-Increasing progress, and of actual receipts over estimates will be told again with greater emphasis than I am able to declare today. Provincial Debt. "On March 81, 1911 the bonded debt of the province Btood as follows: "Four and a half per cent debenture stock, Loan act 1887, $881,210. "Three and a half per cent Inscribed "Three per cent Inscribed stock, Loan acts 1891-3-5-9 and 1902, $8,981,91 "Three and a half per cent Dyking debentures, acts 1897-8-9, $475,000. "Three per cent treasury debentures,' Loan act 1903, $12,000, "Total, $10,790,146. "Deduct accumulated sinking fund, $2,018,581. "Railway guarantee bonds. $8,771, "Nakusp & Slocan Railway Aid act 1894, $047,072, "Total, $9,418,637. Remarkable Progress. "But taking the available asset of $8,526,047 surplus cash then in the bank, and other outstanding assets, such as the martgagee on the Shuswap & Okanagan and the Nakusp & Slocan railways, loans on creamery associations, nnd other minor loans detailed ln the balanced sheet, the balance of assets over liabilities ls shown to be $1,497,694, ns against a balance of liabilities over assets amounting'to $801,644 on March 31, 1910, and against a balance of liabilities over assets amounting to $3,- 294,577 on March 31, 1909. "Thus, Mr. Speaker, In two years not only has the balance In the public accounts lately put into your hands swung round for the first time since confederation, from the debit to the credit side, but the change represents a total accumulation of savings to tho extent of $4,792,271 In two years. These happy figures are eloquent enough to speak by themselves without any commentary from me. -Provincial Bonds Rank High, "It might, however, be well to show how the cred|t of British Columbia Btands in the eyes of the world at large by showing the quotation of our 3 per cent stock In comparison with the securities of other provinces, and of other parts of the empire. "On January 11, 1912, the respective stocks stood as follows: "British Columbia, 3 per cent, 86. "Quebec, 3 per cent, 83. "Ontario, 3% per cent, 93% (that Is 80'/i at 3 per cent).
