EVIDENCE VOLUME HIGH AS MAN Greatest Case Ever Heardby Similar Tribunal-Rebuttal Arguments (By Dally News Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, Out., Dec. 12.—The western freight rates case commenced before the railway board In February, 1912, closed at 4 p.m. today. The last words In tho case were uttered by M. K. Cowan, K.C., counsel for ^Saskatchewan and Alberta, other counsel on behalf of the people having engaged tn rebuttal of tho arguments of F. H. Phippen, counsel for the Canadian Northern railway, during the day. .lames Bleknell, senior counsel for the Dominion, '.hanked the commission on behalf of other counsel present for the forbearance and patience which they had evinced throughout in a trying and sometimes tedious inquiry. Counsel gathered up files and exhibr Its and quietly dispersed. Then ended lhe biggest c#.se ever tried by the railway commission of Canada, or practically any other similar tribunal in the world, a case which has taken nearly two years to complete and thc evidence will form a volume of printed matter the height of a man. It is rumored that an early judgment may be i>xpe'etcd, though there is ho Intimation of that prospect. The fight is a f(ght for the equality of rates as -between the cast and tho west, Today was taken up in rebuttal of arguments advanced Thursday by Mr. Phippen, Canadian Northern railway counsel. On behalf of the manufacturers' usHoelatlon, .lames Walsh, tariff expert for that "body, submitted a statement lixpresalng the opinion that a lower rate was desirable, but Intimated that the association 'did not desire that any action should be taken which would hinder railway development. Isaac Pltblado reiterated his claim that decreases in net earnings surpluses on the Canadian Northern railway wero duo to the non-producing lines which thc company built to gel ahead of olher roads. He argued thai the owner of the road should take some of the risk and assume some of tho financial responsibility which lhe people now bore. ■Mr. Cowan protested against the building of lhe Canadian Northern railway east of Fort William, declaring that the western provinces would have to pay the Inevitable deficit upon it. Mr. Bleknell said he did not expeel the hoard lo do anything that would prevent railway development, "but you have wide powers and anything you can do.to prevent tlie carrier from taking away from the people more than should |lic takeij, this wc do ask,' emphasized the counsel. Mr. Bleknell asked the board in giving judgment to bear iu mind that tbe statutory obligation imposed upon tiie railways is one calling for the application of the principle of equality of treatment. There Is no reason, he said, why one part of the Dominion should be called upon to bear the burdens of another.

NAVAL BILL MAY BE AGAIN INTRODUCED (By Dally News Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, Dec. 12.—The Evening Citizen says: "Inquiry today hi high official circles failed to elicit any definite state- ment as to the policy of the government with respect to the naval question at the coming session of parliament. Last year nothing definite was announced until the premier introduced ithe bill In the house. A similar policy may be followed this year. One thing is certain and that is that no wmanent policy will be put Into effect until the people are consulted, while if any action is taken this session It will be In Is effect, If not In its form, substantially along; -the line of last year's bill. The probabilities are that such a measure will be brought down," PLEBISCITE ON ABOLITION OF BAR Premier to Introduce Bill in Saskatchewan.

MYSTERY OVER CONVERSATIONS Interchange of Views on Home Rule- Unionist Papers Deny Negotiations Being Held. (Western Associated Press Special Cable.) LONDON, Dec. lU.-r-After a day which was devoted chiefly ito attempts to discredit the announcement made by the Times yesterday morning in regard to conversations over the Ulster situation, confirmation comes In this statement by tho Daily Telegraph this morning: "An informal interchange of views between leading politicians has taken place within the last few days. It occurred at a private gathering, attended by two cabinet ministers and two prominent members of the opposition. They are agreed In the opinion that It would be a disaster If something were not done In respect, to Ulster's demands and one of them drafted a letter, the contents of whloh are now in possession of both thc premier and Bonar Law. "Bonar Law was not. aware of the event when lie made hla speech at Carnarvon." The Daily Mail prints a similar story, adding that the gathering was a dinner; but neither the premier nor Mr. Law was present. The Daily Mail adds: "It Is" hoped that the Informal exchange of views at this dinner will guide the government, if, as expected, It Intends to put forwnrd a definite scheme us a basis of settlement.'' The Daily Telegraph editorially advises politicians to keep their hop. within modest bounds, but it says that "If two cabinet ministers can find common ground with the two leading members of the opposition, there is obvioualy encouragement for the hope that they will he able to bring around a majority of tlieir colleagues. The drafted letter may provide a starting point for negotiations between the party leaders, but It may iilso lead to nothing more than cabinet dissensions." Tho Dally Graphic, accepting the Times' statement as correct, gays: "It does not follow that we are nearer to a peaceful settlement because two or three ministers or ex-ministers talked across the dinner table." The Morning Post and the Standard, both leading Unionist papers, flatly deny that any conversations were held, the latter mentioning Lord Morley, Winston Churchill and F. E. Smith In connection with pom* parlers, which "mainly served to emphasize the elemental difficulties." It. declares that It Is extremely unlikely that there will ho any official steps to secure conver satlons 'between the premier and Bonar Law immediately, or that it is contemplated there shall he any conferences prior to thc meeting of parliament. It is perhaps significant that all the Liberal papers completely Ignore the statement, iby the Times. BUFFALO.

WORKMAN STOLE GREAT PAINTING Anxious to Return Master- pioce to Italy-Thief Is Arrested. PnflCELS POST Postmaster General Declares Determination GIVES TWO REASONS FOR DECISION Avoid Temptation for Postal Employes-Local Option Protected. (By Dally NewB Leased Wire.) FLORENCE, Dec. 12.—"Mona Lisa," Leonardo da Vinci's great painting, which was stolen from the Louvre, in Paris, more than two years ago, has been found. It is now in the hands of the Italian authorities and will be returned to France. "Mona Lisa," or "La Gloconda," aa it is more popularly known, the most celebrated portrait of a woman ever painted, 'has been the object of exhaustive search in all quarters of the globe. The nystery of its abstraction from the Louvre, its great intrinsic value, and the strange fascination of the smilo of the woman It portrayed— a model, Liza de la Gioconda, have combined to keep alive interest In Its recovery. The picture was found under peculiar circumstances. An Italian wrote to Senor Gioni of Florence some weeks ago, saying that he was in possession of the missing Mona Lisa. Dr. Poggl, a director of the Florentine museum, who had also been communicated with, asked to be allowed to takG the picture with him so that he might compare It with other works. Ho made an appointment to meet the Italian, who had the picture this afternoon at the hotel, to agree upon a price. The doctor had with him several officers, who placed tihe man under arrest. Upon being interrogated, tho prisoner, said his real, name was Vincenzo Porugia, that he was born In the prov- Ince of Como, was toy profession a decorator and unmarried. For six years he lived ln France and for three years was employed at the Louvre. Perugia posed as a patriot. He had often observed, said he, many works of art from Italy, and conceived the idea of returning to its home the Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece. He entered the Louvre early in the morning, detached the glass and removed the painting from the frame, Hhe concealed the framo under the backstairs, where it iwas afteaward found, He concealed the picture behind his workman's blouse and succeeded in leaving the place wltihotit attracting suspicion. JAMES BRYCE GUEST OF HONOR Advises Avoidance of Racial Antagonism Within Empire—Citizenship and Self-governing Rights. (Canadian Associated Press Cable.) LONDON, Dec. '12.—James Bryce, late British ambassador to Washington, was last night entertained at a complimentary banquet at the National Liberal club, Sir Edward Grey occupying the chair. Replying to the toast of the evening, Mr. Bryce made some interesting reflections upon affairs In the overseas dominions, particularly Canada. The Dominion, he said, had already become a great nation and with her unexampled prosperity sho had every prospect of becoming one of the most happy, wealthy and orderly communities the world contained. She enjoyed the advantage of possessing as leaders of her two great parties two men of high character, who were regarded with unqualified respect hy every Canadian. Canadian politics were strenuous, but they were not bitter. He did not think he had ever heard In Canada any word throwing the least suspicion upou the integrity, patriotism and high elevated spirit, either of Laurier or Borden. Canada, Mr. Bryce declared, was deeply and sincerely attached to the imperial connection and recognized the duty that lay In her to join in the defence of the empire. There were differences of opinion as to the particular form which her contribution should take, but there were no differences as to the duty, and no difference In the willingness to perform it. Two things were particularly encouraging ln Canada, as well as Australia and New Zealand. One was the purity of public life. Public opinion maintained there the high standard which had been had In this country since the days of Chatham and Pitt and no man who was seriously tainted could hold his ground tu politics. In thQ second place, the judicial bench was absolutely above msplclon and that was entirely due to the fact that the British precedent had been faithfully observed. • Mr. Bryce went on to refer to "race antagonism," which was becoming acute In certain parts of the empire. We had given our imperial citizenship to all our subjects, he said, but (Continued OS Fage Five.) (By Dally News Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, Ont., Dec. 12.—In an interview today the Hon. L. P. Pelletier, postmaster-general, stated that after giving the matter considerable thought, he had decided to make a public statement as to the parcel post regulations, regarding the question of the transmission of intoxicating liquors. At first Mr. Pelletier declined to make any statement as to the regulations, until the whole scheme was worked out, and the regulations drafted and issued. However, in view of the numerous communications received at thc department daily from those who believe In temperance principles, and in order to avoid giving these people so much trouble in writing the department on the subject, the postmaater- geaeral has come to the conclusion that as his mind has been made up from the beginning on this point, ho may as well let the public know that Intoxicating liquors will not be allowed to bo transmilted by the parcels post. It has ibeen Incidentally remarked that perhaps thc postmaster-general was doing this to please the Dominion alliance. Mr. Pelletier's answer to this Is thut he was not doing It at the special request of the Dominion alliance or any other organisation which directly or Indirectly might be considered as a political or quasi political organzlation; that the question had been decided on its merits and to further the good administration of the postal service. The postmaster-general was shown a letter published In the press, in which the question was put, as to why liquor should be prohibited from tho parcels post when It. was considered permlssable and proper for transportation by railways, steambots, etc. He answered that he could give many reasons, but that he had no intention of discussing the matter at great length, Ho was satisfied to give two reasons for the moment. In the first place, he had recently notified the postal employes (particularly those to whose care money is entrusted) that if they used liquor they would be dismissed. Consequently lie was not going tu be Instrumental in putting liquor within the reach of these employes who had been warned, and ba told that he led them into temptation.. In tiie second place, Mr. Pelletier said, there are many places where the sale of liquor Is now prohibited and illegal, because the people have decided that It should be so. "Am I going to thwart their wishes by allowing the transmission of liquor by parcels post into the districts whero the people have said thoy do not. want it?" In conclusion, Mr. Pelletier said, the question ds settled and will not bo reopened. It Is known that Mr, Pelletier Is a firm believer iu temperance principles, and that before enterlnlg tho government was Cor a number of years a member of an anti-alcoholic league ot the province of Quebec.

VERNON, B, C., Dec. 12.—That the Okanagan United Growers, Limited, the hig co-operative assocation, has made an unprecedented success in handling the marketing of the fruit and produce of the Okanagan valley was clearly demonstrated at the general meeting of the shareholders held in Vernon on Friday of last week. At that meeting facts and figures were submitted for the' consideration of the shareholders, which, when examined critically, resulted In enthusiasm and satisfaction. Commendation of the work of the year was unanimous, und the prevailing feeling among those present was that the marketing problem had been satisfactorily solved. The season's successful work has not only been successful, hut has been carried on in a manner so economical that the expense account is far lower than had been expected. The report of R, Robertson, the manager, stated that ?UO,000, or approximately one- halt' of the charges retained to cover operating expenses, would, at the end of ohe season, be refunded to the local associations. The figures of the report, complete to November 3D, showed that the shipments of the association had been 041 carloads, comprised of 536 cars of fruit, 354 cars of vegetables and 51 of hay. Of this total the largest item was 305 cars of apples. Peaches handled totalled 64 3-4 carloads; plums, 30 cars; pruneB, 34; potatoes, 174; onions, 03 1-4 cars in sacks and 28 cars lu crates, and cabbage, 52 carloads. November sales totallod $61,085.02, bringing the sales total for the year to that date to the splendid sum of $423,651.09, of which $303,832.50 was realized from fruit and $110,818.51) from lhe sale of vegetables. The amount reserved to cover handling charges to date totals $40,259.61, wiiereas the actual expenses to November 30 came to only $16,538.41, leaving a surplus in the charge account of about $24,000. The report of It. Robertson, manager, to the board of directors, estimated that there was still In the valley for shipment between 200 and 250 carloads of fruit and vegetables and not less than 100 carloads of hay. The shareolders decided that the executive should Investigate the byproducts question, with a view to having a big saving made. After discussion It was decided to adopt the Washington apple box, which differs slightly Jn shape and size from the Canadian box. The latter will still be used for export shipments, but for Canadian trade the Washington box will be used, because of United States competition. The decision was also reached to affiliate with the Hritish Columbia Fruit Growers' association, and R. Robertson was elected as a delegate to the convention to be held In Victoria in January. The shareholders of the Okanagan United Growers, Limited, have gone on record as opposed to the ownership or leasing of lands to Asiatics.

(Special to The Daily News.) VERNON, B. C, Dec. 12.—Important resolutions proposed by the Armstrong and Penticton hoards of trade will he considered at the annual meeting of the associated boards of trade of the Okanagan valley, which will be held at Armstrong next Wednesday. One resolution, proposed hy Penticton, aBks the Dominion government to appoint a royal commission to investigate the marketing conditions In the principal marketing centres, especially in the prairie provinces, with view to remedying conditions alleged to have been brought about by a suspected combine of fruit dealers working iu restraint of legitimate trade.

Tiie rate Is suspended annually ibetiwcen October 31 and June 10.

At the annual meeting of the Okanagan and Spallumcheen Agricultural society, held iu Vernon on December 9, the members decided to hold no more apple Bhows in Vernon, because the people of the city and district already realize the fruit possibilities of the provle.ee. Instead of five or 10 carload exhibits will probably be sent to the towns on the prairies, where the principal markets are, Calgary, Re- gina, MooBe Jaw and similar points. In addition, the society js considering reviving the old-fashioned general fall fair or agricultural show, because ol the revival of interest In the Okanagan valley in general and mixed farm Ing and stock raising.

The meeting last "even" Ing which was called to organize a city league/ ma- terhili/ed nil night, but that was all. As the meeting progressed two factions formed and the delegates seemed to become more at sea as the discussion waxed wanner and wanner. A big squabble took place during the evening as to whether or not it was advisable to adopt a strictly amateur clause In the rules of the league. James Thompson stated that the Y.M. C.A. could not enter a team on any other grounds, the Bankers favored it and also the Tigers, but the Hardware and Canadian Pacific railway representatives were equally as bitterly opposed to tho rule, urging that it would ibe impossible for phem to field a learn under the circumstances. A first motion put hefore the meeting in favor of organizing an amateur league was passed, but when It came to voting for the approval of the ama. tear bylaws for the league the amateurs had lost their following and the meeting wns really stampeded. James Thompson then quit the chair aud the uuti-amateurltes appointed B. Allen to the vacancy. They decided that they would form a league by themselves, barring nobody from taking part In the games, and a committee composed of D. Smeaton, W. W. Ferguson. N. H. Cummins, II. C. Griz- zelle and B. Allen was appointed lo make arrangements to have team3 represented at a meeting that will be called on Thursday evening next at 8 o'clock, when rules governing the league will be submitted and officers elected. Tho learns constituting this league will .in all probability be the Hardware; Tigers and Rovers, who after the controversy decided to pull loose from the Y.M.C.A. After -these delegute3 had finished the amateur clause supporters decided to. call a meeting for tonight when they, too, will endeavor to organize league. They are the flankers and the Y.M.C.A. The meeting of the amateur supporters tonight will he held at 8 o'clock. On Monday the Hovers will hold a meeting, at which they will reorgan ize under their old colors nnd decide on plans for the season. In the meantime the hockey fans of the city will await results with sonic interest. It was the same amateur clause that caused the split when au effort was made two years ago to organize a city amateur league. On that occasion the tennis decided to le*i"m '.-' e r*""iteur business alone and played a bc.'-.* .^:y successfully. TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND PAID FOR TINKER ("By Dally News Leased Wire.)

Dr, Manna is the official Conservative ran- d'date. while opposed to him Is Lieut.- Col. nalderson. also ji well-known Conservative, who has for many years had parliamentary aspirations, hut who has always failed to secure the support of a majority of the nominating convention. The third candidate is Mr, Arthur Ilawkes. whose appeal to the "British born" in the reciprocity campaign of 1011 undoubtedly contributed something, at least, toward the overthrow of the government of that day. Mr. Ilawkes is appealing to the people of South Lanark as au apostle of the "Canada First" movement. Inaugurated by himself and Mr. John A. Cooper of Toronto. One of the objects of this movement, and the chief, is to oppose any direct, contribution by Canada to the Imperial navy and to advocate the eonstruotio** of a Canadian fleet, unit instead.

Haggart, who had represented the ridin.; continuously from 1S72 until that time in the Conservative interests. in the former constituency Mr. Alex Morrison is again the Conservative Candidate; He is being opposed by Dr. A. W. Myles, a supporter of ihe Liberal pu'fty. fu comparison with tlie campaign of a little over a year ago when Mr. Morrison was first elected, the present, contest is an exceedingl) tame one. A person reading the Win nipeg papers might no; become awan of the fact that a by-election was tnk ing place in a Dominion constituenc*. ;v-;..edlately adjoining the city. It would be folly to attempt to pre- diet, the result of today's polling, -but it may he interesting to note lhe constituency's political record. It wag created in 1903, and In the following year gave a majority of r»70 to Mr. W. D. Staples ,the Conservative caiul date, in the general election of IflOS a majority at ;"7i: was rolled up by TC CELEBRATE CANADA'S FIFTIETH BIRTHDAY. A movement has been started In Montreal looking toward the holding of an international exposition in 1017, 18 or 10 in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of Canadian confederation. On July 1, I8ii7, Confederation became effective, so that, on or about July 1, 1017, would he the most, appropriate date for the holding of an event of this kind, although for some reason the promoters suggest that It might he wise to delay the holding of the exposition until a year or perhaps two years later. The idea of In some way adequately celebrating the Dominion's fiftieth birthday should receive general support. It would be a mistake If this were not done. The first idea suggested, that of :m International exposition, is one that is entitled to every consideration. There is no doubt hut that an •■xposllioii of the kind suggested would enable Canada to place hefore the world uncontrovertible evidence of her progress since confederation and at the saint* time demonstrate anew the riches, resources nnd possibilities of the Dominion. One of the essentials to the success of any such undertaking is a directing head of executive ability and one '» whom the public generally has confidence. For this position Hon, Treffle Berthlaume, editor and proprietor of La Presse. the hig French daily of Montreal and Canada, in nn open letter suggests Sir Hug-h Graham, editor and proprietor of the Star, the big English dnily of Montrenl and Canada, Sir Hugh has replied, assuring Mr. Rerthiaume of his willingness to cooperate in every way possible in making the exposition a success, should it be decided to hold one. Until that has been decided it would be premature to discuss who should be the directing head, hut this much can he said--that should the idea of an exposition he carried into practice. Sir Hugh lias many qualities that would go to fit him for the position for which he has been suggested -by his fellow- edltor. Mr. Ilerthlaume, WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING I I I Experience. A Kansas farmer purchased a re-1 volver for his wife, and insisted on target practice, so that she could defend the house in case of his absence, After the bullet hnd been dug out of his leg and the cow burled, he said he guessed that she'd better shoot with an axe—Midland Free Press. Quebec's Specialty. Quebec produces 85 per cent of lhe world's output of asbestos. What oth. er province does as much for fire protection?—Montreal Mall. Good for All Races. Booker Washington is urging the colored people in the states to become mechanics, farmers, cattle raisers, brick makers, in fact, the best kind of common folk, instead of seeking the Impossible through "education." It is not bad advice for some white people, too.—Kingston Standard. Reciprocity Abandoned? We are disturbed -by the fear that Sir Wilfrid has In mind the abandonment of reciprocity. If he is still devoted to reciprocity he could have appealed "quite as effectively to the city voters by exposing Its merits as a free food measure. His argument was rather against reciprocity than for It. We should harbor no fear were it not that the Toronto counselors who surround Sir Wilfrid when he comes here, keeping him. from contnet with the ■people, openly exult in the abandonment of reciprocity for free food. If they are not without political perspicacity they must, see that they will destroy their parly by alienating the farmer.

The medical men especially associated with the hospital in those days were Dr. O'Donnell, Jackes and Lynch, while its first great benefactor was the Hon. A. 0. 13. naunatyne, who "had come to the Red river as a lad, and 'hud spent most of his lite there.'1 The first building used stood "on the hanks of the Wed river, bOuipwIict-- near the foot of Lombard street. The second was a log house in Point Douglas, rented from lho late Hon John Nonpiay." A- site, to which an addition was made later, was given hy McDermott and Hanaatyne, and in 1875 Its first special building was erected, and the hospital was incorporated.

COAL MINING NOT MOST DANGEROUS Other Callings Are Responsible fo Greater Percentage of Accidents, Say Reports In spite of tbc numerous and terrible coal mine accidents, belief that coal mining is practically the most tan selous of occupations is a mistake, says the Butte Miner. This calling; is, jn the contrary, one of the safest. German statistic-- show that the farmer ,uns neary ten time*- as many chances jf being killed as does the miner. Anv arican statistics are incomplete, .but greater use of machinery by the American farmer would Increase the risk jf accident. United States government data proves that while the number of coal nliiers killed In 1312 per 1.000 employed was 3.15, tbc ratio of lives lost imong Gloucester fishermen was 11.7 jer 1,000 employed. Railroad trainmen ar0 killed at tho rate of 7.46 per 1,000 employed, a. risk Ufa times that or -•oal miners, ln metal mines the accident rate is much higher than In coal mines. In 1911, wben the death rate in coal mines was 3.73 per 1,000, the rate In the metal mines was -1.10. Slnce there were in that year 728,3-IS men employed in coal mines, there would have heen 3,050 lives lost in coal mines nt the metal mine rate, ugalnst tbe actual conl mine death rate of 2,713. If all metal mine statistics could ibe gathered as completely as those Of coal mines, the metal mines would be considerably higher, and so the showing for coal mines more favorable.

SIX MILLION ON CANADIAN LOAN Five Million Dollar Issue for Port of London Underwritten—Stock Market Aimless. (Western Associated Press Special Cable.) LONDON, Dec 12.—The halt in the new Issues was short-lived. The port of London today -secured the .under- writlng-of 4 per cent stock to -a value Of $5,000,000. A combination of 1*1 of the London electric -supplv undertakings. Involving a capital of j: 02,000,000, is contemplated. The negotiations have not advanced iter as yet. The operation will be mainly on paper and Is projected to prevent compulsory purchases by the authorities. Balkan securities were cheerful today on a forecust of a Balkan loan Is- Bue, though tlie French government's statements of financial policy in this direction are irrltatlngly vague. The stock markets were tame and aimless. Canadian Pacific railways were erratic and did not respond to the cabled statement by Sir Thomas Sbaughnessy on Hie note lsBue and closed a fraction down. Grand Trunks were easier and utilities dull. British Columbia Electric railway stocks were flat on the annual report. Soutih American hanks again dropped, reflecting the suspension of the Spanish-American hank, despite forecasts from Madrid that the matter will be adjusted without the ultimate loss of the deposits of ¥20,000,000. An importnnt failure may occur In Paris ns the result of the suspension of the bank, hut It is now stated that Cuba has not been involved. Money was dearer, call money being 4% to 6 per cent. An installment of $6,125,000 of the Canadian loan was paid today. Bill rates were easy. The reduction of one-half per cent in the Berlin bank rate to 5 per cent offset rumors of the gold withdrawals for South America. The Rhodesians at Buluw-ayo have appointed a committee to discttfis the land scheme with the chartered company, which suggests an early agreement.

Fourteen or 15 years ago the number brought In each Christmas was from 12 to 15 carloads. The actual consumption of poultry around Clirlstmastldo is actually greater than 14 years ago, but most of the demand Is being met. by the produce of local ranches and henneries, it is stated. Surprise was expressed yesterday that so much of the local demand was being met by home-grown produce and it. was pointed out that one of the reasons for the decreased Imports is thai nearly every rancher and many people living in towns and cities in this district have their own henneries, while Imlteys are being raised extenslvelv In various sections of Kootenay and Boundary, so that not only are the stores buying more local grown poultry, but more people are raising birds for their own tables.
