(Western Assoolatod Press Special
Cable.)
1 LONDON, Fob. 18.—Lord Murray of
Ellbank, In-tho house of lords today,
temporarily checkmated thc plans of
the Unionist opposition to muke him
a target for Investigation by reason of
his speculation with the, campaign
funds of the Liberal party while chief
whip In tho commons. Before Baron
Ampthlll had an opportunity to move
his motion for the appointment of a
c/ommitteo of Inquiry, Lord Murray
arose and made an explanation. He
frankly admitted that he had made a
mistake, but he said that'before hc
entered Into tho speculation he was
convinced that the American-Marconi
company, whose shares he bought, had
nothing whatever to do with the English company, which had contracts
with the British government.
'- "It was an error of Judgment nnd
not Intention." ho said, but he rather
spoiled the' effect of his explanation
by the ploa that tho transaction
■tfrould never have been known had
not the broker, Fenner, through whom
thc transaction was conducted, failed
iu business.
Lord   LanBdowno,   Unionist   leader,
[queried whether the plea of an ol'ror
W Judgment  was   a satisfactory  explanation,   but   be   argued   that  fair
play, to  l.etd  Murray   demanded  further consideration of thc matter and
ic consequently  moved thc ndjourn-
ient of the debate,  which wns curled,    .desp|te    tho    protest    of    Lord
mptlilll.
This does not mean that the matter
18..ended.    It ia merely-pogtponed-und
111  come   up   again   on   Thursday
[when  tho Ampthlll motion   will   be
;I.    The  Liberal   peers   will   re-
'u'bd to nppolnt a committee, but the
I Unionists aro in such a majority that
it Ib certain to be named and the investigation will proceed. The Unionists claim they have full power to
'orcc the attendance of the required
Ithesses and' to make a searching
nquiry.
This will bo followed inter by an-
ither Investigation into tho charges
lade by Sir George Kekewich, D. A.
Phomas, M. "P., and others thut titles
■md other honors are sold by contrl-
' utions to the party funds.
The press comments on the Lord
urray Incident in the house of lords
we natprally tinged with party pre
ludlce. '
The Morning'Post, Conservative, de
dares that Lord Murray has not
-learod himself.
The Dally Express, Unionist,
:acks the "slnistef figure sheltered
lehind the broad back of the Liberal
vlilp," - Mr. Lloyd George, "whose
,'cven years of non-Liberalism have
jolsoncd the wells of public life and
'lid has perfected the art of personal
j:alumny.uB a political weapon."
yTho Dally News, Radical, thinks
;*it the Mar-conl Incident would li
lrofitnble if It directs attention to the
Question of. party funds, vwhich "are
fi' necessary adjunct to the party sys-
:6m." It admits that there is no
Ibubt that such funds can be raised
.hd used for purposes which are in-
bfenslblc. It admits that many
/onors have been conforred on both
ides of politics which nre explainable
ihly on thc -ground that thoy. have
icen paid for. It is this which has
bought the honors list into contempt,
Money raised In this way is likely to
spent mischievously in promoting
;hdeslrnble candidatures and Bubor-
'Inatlng the Independence of the con-
ltuencles to the power of a central
urse. In these ways the existence

Itenuce to democrucy and purity In
folltlcs. Wo have lost the chief le.
bn of the Marconi affair If we do not
me in the, circumstance to which Lord
Tkurray referred, real ground for
[Rnxiety. It Ib probnbly true that such
Kinds must be administered with a
Tirge degree of secrecy, but It ought

rtles to conceive a means of pre-
rvlng reasonable privacy while se-
irlng more representative control,

fluencos of politics ln a way which

(Special to Tho Dnllv News)
VICTORIA, IS. CSV, Feb. 17.—"It is inevitable that the government will bo
called.upon within the next few ye?t,rs
to sanction further loans in order [a
keep pace with the rapid development of the country," said Hon. Price
ElMsori in speaking on the loan bill
in the legislature today. That the loan
debt of the province Is more than
counterbalanced by th-*. money owed
to the government, added to the increasing revenues to ibe derive,) from
timber royalties and oilier natural resource,-? was the opinion expressed by
the minister of finance.
"The question arises in the minds of
the people as lo what is going t(, be
done with the money." said the minister, "an dthe answer is simply that
we fee! justified on tlie general ground
that the country must be opened up as
speedily as possible. During tlie oast
few years the fact has been clearly
demostrnted that It .is useless to u'*k
or expect people to come and settle
upon the bind unless there Is ample
means of communication and transportation, and it is with a view to supplying these necessities that the government is m.-iililn-r th.'y loan.
"We are now at that stage of -development in British Columbia," continued the minister of finance, "which

of the policy nr public works that lias-
marked thc efforts of the government

ThB new city charter providing commission government for Lethblrdge

EXTRA COMMISSION
TO MEET EXPENSES
Request for Donations Will
Also Be Made by Kootenay
Fruit  Growers.
Definite announcement having heen
made by Hon. Price Ellison, minister
of agriculture, that it was not the Intention of the government to send an
organizer to form a Kootenay-Boua-
daiy co-operative marketing organization on the lines of tbe Okanagan
Growers, Limited, this year until it
had been absolutely proved that the
Okanagan association was a success,
it was decided yeaterday at a meeting of the directors of the Kootenay
Fruit Growers' union and delegates
from various sections of the union
territory that It was absolutely neces-
sary to continue the union for the
present year. Until tlie Okanagan as-
Bcciatfoii had been further tested, the
ranchers In this district could not do
better than support the union, said
Mr. Ellison in a letter to James Johnstone.
It was generally agreed that the Okanagan association was on the right
lines, but that many details of man
agement and selling had yet to be
worked out to make the scheme a
complete success.
To raise funds for overhead expenses It was recommended that'
ranchers should be asked to guarantee
to ship 50 per cent of their crop
through the organization, allowing the
union to deduct from the returns $5
if the total was under $100 and $10
if above that figure, with the provision that a cash payment by April 1
would release the rancher from any
obligation to ship through tlie association.
It will also be recommended to the
general meeting of the union, to be
held shortly, that in addition to the
usual commission of 10 per cent an
extra 5 per cent be deducted and held
as a fund for contingencies, with the
understanding that, if the cost of operation permitted, any portion of this
sum in hand at the end of tlie year
be returned to the shippers pro rata.
The Idea of this extra commission is
tp enable the union to break even on
the year's operations.
A resolution expressing appreciation
of tho economical and efficient management of the union during 1913 was
passed.
Provincial Union Beneficial.
As delegate to the Hritish Columbia
Fruit Growers' association, Major
Goode, who was in the chair, advised
all growers to join the provincial association and spoke of Its benefits,
of tlio market reports and other information supplied to members. The
association proposed this year to send
a carload of specially packed apples
through Alberta as part of its advertising campaign, he said.
W. E. Scott, deputy minister of agriculture! had expressed himself in favor ot the development of co-operation
In Kootenay ana Boundary, but had
said the government could not see
its way to send an organizer to the
district this year, and Mr, Scott advised ranchers to support the present
union. The government, said Major
Goode, appeared to be waiting lo obtain definite results of the operation
of the Okanagan association He referred to what were described as heavy
o-'erhead charges and to the fact thai
It had not succeeded in reducing tin
number of middlemen between the
consumer and producer.
The report was adopted on motion
of C. F. McHardy, seconded by James
Johnstone.   A vote of thanks was Incorporated, with the resolution.
Statement From Minister.
Mr. Johnstone said that he had interviewed Mr. Ellison with regard to
sending a government organizer to this
district and had been told that it was
not yet known if tbe Okanagan organization was an absolute success.
The letter, written by the minister
aa a result of this interview, stated
that it was not the intention of the
government to send out organizers
this year until it had been proved he-
yond 'doubt that the Okanagan organization was a success and that In the
meantime the growers iu this district
could not do better than support the
Kootenay Fruit Growers' union,
Ultimately tlie central selling organization idea must be adopted, said
Mr. Johnstone. The Okanagan union
was the beginning of a successful organization because it was on the
right principle. When the details had
been worked out and an absolute success achieved the government would
send an organizer to this didtrint, but
In the meantime tlie Kootenay union
must be supported.
! Dr. N. Wolverton, chairman of tie
committee named to go into 'he ceb-
fcral marketing scheme, slid nothing
in that direction could be done until
the definite results of the Okanagan
experiment had been secured. From
well-informed sources he understood
Inhere would have to be a very considerable reorganization In the Okan-

OTTAWA, Feb, 17.—The redistribution bill did not get a second reading
in tiie house on Tuesday as expected.
Mr. BordCn moved the second reading
and' It was discussed until tlie early
evening hours, when tho debate, at
the instance of thc prime minister,
was adjourned until Thursday. The
reason for the adjournment was a
suggestion by Sir Wilfrid Courier that
the committee which will fix the
boundaries of the constituencies
should consist of nine instead of seven
members. He said that in 1003 there
wero seven provinces and now there
are nine and there should be one for
each province Besides an Increase of
two would give better representation'
to the west.
Mr. Borden did not discuss thc bill
at any length on its merits, having
done that when ho Introduced the
measure lost week.
Sir Wilfrid Lahricr, in the course
of his speech, maintained that the
plan followed by him in 1003 of referring the matter to a committee,
had, on the whole, been satisfactory.
He expressed thc hope that the committee to be named would be actuated
by a spirit of fair play and there
would be no attempt made to balance

Lives Twenty Two Minutes
After Drop Falls-Seated
in Chair.
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)'
CALGARY, Alta., Feb. 17.—The execution of Jasper Collins, the Missouri
youth who murdered John P. Benson,
will go down on record as one ot the
most bungling affairs of the kind ever
occurring in the criminal annalB of
the Dominion. The executioner cut
the body down before life was extinct,
and the unhappy man died of partial
dislocation of the neck and strangulation, in the presence of the shocked
officials. For a few moments it looked as though the gruesome work would
have to be done all over again, but
finally, and mercifully, the end came
and the awful ordeal was over.
The official version of the fiasco Is
found in the coroner's verdict:
"We find that Jasper Collins died
in Calgary on February 17, at the barracks of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, as a result of partial dislocation of the neck and suffocation,
caused by being hanged by the neck
following the sentence of death passed
upon the said Jasper Collins in the
supreme court of Alberta.
"We further desire to add that, in
our opinion, the sentence of the court
was not carried out, owing to the fact
that the said Jasper Collins was not
hanged by the neck until he was dead,
but was, contrary to the sentence of
the court, cut down by the executioner
before life was extinct.
"We further desire to express our
dissatisfaction with the manner in
which the execution was carried out
by tlie hangman, and we feel that in
the interests of justice and of the
public weal, there should be an investigation so that Suture executions may
be carried out properly.
"We further desire to add that we
do not, in any way, censure any other
officials."
To the surprise of the officials, to
whom he had given much trouble during tlie past two months, Collins went
to his death bravely. He was weak
from his month of illness, ana immediately took his seat in the arm chair
which was placed directly over the
gallows trap. At 8:03 the trap was
sprung, fivo minutes later the executioner cut the body down and the attending physician, with his finger on
the dying man's pulse, did not pronounce him dead until 8:20.
Collins slept poorly and was awake
early. After a fairly good breakfast
ho wrote a short letter to his mother
in Missouri, bidding her and his family an affectionate farewell.
Just before 8 o'clock the sheriff visited him and officially advised him to
prepare to die. A few minutes after
S o'clock the march to the gallows
started, Collins talking to his spiritual
adviser as lie walked along between
his guards. The rest of the story hn«
to do with clumsiness of tho work of
the hangman, as told by tho verdict of
the coroner's jury.
Murderer! Benefactor.
It is now about two years since the
first events which led up to the crime
for which William Jasper Collins has
been executed took place. This was
down in Brnymer, Mo., where the Collins family, who were ne'er-do-wells,
lived on the outskirts of the village.
Tiie father was dead, the mother and
three children lived In a hand to
mouth fashion: little or no money was
spent for education and it is a question if there would have heen much
spent had the desire for an education
been present, for there was none.
Collins was charged with crime and.
friendless and alone, did not appear
to have much chance of escaping a
long period iu prison at tile behest of
a southern jury, with whom honor to
women is a cardinal principle—and
tiie crime with which Collins was
charged was In connection with his
own sister.
John P. Bengon defended the box-
in the trial thftt followed and secured
his nctjtiittal; About this time Benson
decided to come to Alberta and invited Collins to accompany him and make
his home With him. This he did, the
two taking up homesteads near Cereal, Alta. Benson .was In the habit
of carrying about his money with him.
sometimes having as high as several
thousand dollars on his person. On
May 2, while he and Benson were
alone, CollinB murdered his benefactor
for his money and set fire to the Benson dwelling to conceal the crime.
Collins took the money and fled, finally arriving at his Missouri home
There he began to spend money lavishly and this brought about his arresl
on suspicion. After he had heen lh
jail for a short time he confessed, and
was brought to Alberta for trial.

stomach sufferers are required to

Attended   Meeting—Canning
Factory   Prosperous
(Sptclnl to Th,. Oatly News.l
ARROW PARK. !!. C, Feb. 17.—A
large and representative meeting, under the auspices of the newly formed
Dramatic Literary and Musical
society, was held In the town ball on
Saturday evening. Feb. 14, under tbe
chairmanship of R. Reck, tlie object
of the gathering being the discussion
of the best means lu develop Arrow
Park.
A Ritchie was the first speaker, and
drew the attention of the audience
to the best way to achieve the result.
Among tit her things he Impressed
clearly that Greater Arrow Park, i.e.,
from Rock island tu Graham's- landing on both sides of the lake, should
double its population In two years;
nnd as thc best method of attaining
that Ideal, ho urged the formation of
a progressive and agresstve board of
trade, which would curry out judicious advertising, an energetic publicity campaign, and create new Indus-
trios. Mr. Ritchie urged that every
rancher should experiment with a view
to finding what small fruits, vegetables and large fruits could be grown
best and showed the necessity of using modern methods of cultivation.
Willi regard to transportation, be advocated a boat livery and ferry service, and he emphasized tin; scenic
beauty and excellent hunting and fishing In the Whatchnr district, which
will be approached by means of the
new government trail that Is to lie
finished In the spring, In conclusion
be urged co-operation in every phase
as thc only solution lo prosperity in
the. Arrow Lakes.
The next speaker, Mr. Ashworth.
showed by figures based on the actual experience of ranchers here, thai
il ls possible to keep stock and poultry at a profit. Working on a high
estimate uf cost of feed, and a low
egg production, only 180 eggs per
year, he showed that If evory rancher
of thc 50 In Arrow Park kept 3<J liens
each, poultry alone would bring $2,250
per annum revenue, and further the
fact of there being a large supply
would ntake selling easier. He advised *iaoli rancher keeping one cow
and again demonstrated Oil his own
practical experience how a fair profit
can bo secured. The keynote of his
speech was co-opcratlon,
George Maklnson gave an excellent
paper on the "Broad Valley|" emphasizing in particular the excellent
timber and  good Quality soil.
T. M orison gave many excellent
hints on advertising, and particularly
the necessity uf being known at Vancouver, thc metropolis of the province.
Mr. Job, arguing from the similarity nf tbe district to the Alpine regions
of Switzerland and Italy, advocated
the  introduction of goats.
Mrs. Deane gave a report of the
canning factory established last year,
which she shows to be in a good position  and  justifying its erection.    She
' t-"v  mentioned  27  vegetables   that
had been grown successfully In Arrow Park and quoted the words of
the inspector *,p factories, a Swiss,
on the advisability of making goat
farr*-'--- one of the industries of the
district.
Among other speakers were Mr.
Maklnson, ,** Sweeting and Mr. Somerville and Mr. Agabob, in conclusion,
spoke of the pleasure it gave him to
feel that the spirit of enterprise was
so prevalent ami although he waB
shortly leaving In- promised that he
would design a cover for the pamphlet that the furthcoming board of
trade would   issue.
At the close of the meeting, on Mr.
Ashworth's amendment, a committee
of ways and men ns was chosen.
Messrs. Ritchie, Ashworth, Ball, T.
Morrison, Job, Maklnson. Agabob,
Sweeting, Naylor, NJcoIle, liourne and
John Fesser, of which Mr. Job was

fully determined to have co-operation

worn by Mrs, Gooch, Mrs. Dale and
Miss Campbell, the latler's mousse-
Hue de wheat sack being much admired, while J. Hurst was quite the
best in the men's section. Tho playing of the bagpipes by Douglas Fisher

Stairs, of Halifax, president of the
Nova Scotia Steel and Coal comfiany,
and one of the finest business men In

ever produced, After his student days
at Dalhousle, Mnx was taken into Mr.
Stairs' office as a sort of private secretary. He wns a harum-scarum
youth and constantly getting into debt
through ids association with questionable people. i
Ono day Mr. Stairs, who had previously noticed his secretary talking
to suspicious-looking men, came into
the office and found a couple of these
sharks there. As soon as they had
gone he summoned Max Inio his
private office. His exact words are
not on record, but he is reported lo
have * road the young man a wholesome lesson on the folly of consorting
with evil companions and running into debt.
Finally he_^ asked Max the extent of
his debts, and, when he had ascertained the total, wrote him out a cheque
for twice the amount. Max was instructed to pay off his obligation--,
and with lhe balance to start tn and
engage jn more legitimate business,
in which Mr. Stairs would take a half
Interest. After this Max Aitkcn's
whole manner of living was altered.
He cut free from his former associates
and began to cultivate thc acquaintance of, older men,, .who had money
and influ^n'i-o. It was not tohg until
he waft working out some of the big
deals that have made lilm famous.—

SAND  FOR  CONCRETE
The finer tho sand used In making

necessary to make a- cubic yard of

concrete made with coarse sand is
cheaper and usually it is stronger. If
a sufficient supply of coarse sand is
not at hand, it is just as-well to mix

In. tiie finished concrete the sand is
supposed to fill the voids between the

THE PROVINCIAL BOND ISSUE.
Hon. Price Ellison, minister of
finance, In presenting his hill to the legislature yesterday for a loan of ten
million dollars, placed the situation
fairly before the people of British Columbia. If the province is to he developed money is necessary for that
purpose. Owing to conditions which
exist at the present day that money ts
not immediately available from current revenue. The question for the
government to decide is whether that
money shall be raised otherwise or
whether the government's policy of
development shall he arrested and expenditures looking toward this end
delayed.
There will be general agreement
with the decision of the government
to supply, even through the rulsttig
of a loan, the money necessary for
the development of the province.
British Columbia is a rich and a great
province, but its development presents
problems which are unknown in the
three prairie provinces to the east and
which have been faced in years gone
by in that part of Canada lying east
of the great lakes.
At the same time the fact must be
remembered that in the case of British Columbia the government is not
issuing bonds which will be a charge
on the future without there heing
some provision for their liquidation.
The government has introduced a policy of conservation of natural resources the benefit of which will he
felt in the years to come aud which
will aBBist materially in the retirement of the bonds which it Is proposed to issue. Tho government is
looking to the future, not to the present. It believes in the future of Brit
Ish Columbia and is prepared, to bar-
row money in the markets of tin
world with which to hasten that future, knowing that as a result of its
action the development of British Columbia will be accelerated and that
the consequent development of the
province's resources will provide the
money to retire the bonds which it Is
now proposed to Issue und also others
which it may he necessary to issue In
years to come.
No one who has faith In British
Columbia and her future can object
to tbe Issuing of bonds for the pur
pose of raising money to be used iu
the development of the province's resources. Anyone who does so thereby
declares his belief that the resources
of British Columbia are not worth the
price of development.
Who Is there In Biitish Columbia
with so little faith in the province?
Let him declare himself and let the
people of British Columbia judge him
accordingly.
A   DIAGNOSIS.
Bewildered by the ubiquity of the
tango and the "trot," confused by the
cries of their defenders that tbey are
but an impression of rhythmic
righteousness, dazed by the. screams
of their assailants that they are nothing by syncopated sin, we turn for information and relief to the encyclopedia, says the Montreal -Mail. There
we find the following under the heading "Dancing Disease":
An epidemic nervous disorder,
apparently allied to hysteria and
chorea, occasionally prevalent in
Germany and Italy during the mid- -
die ages. As It has been in every
Instance chiefly propagated hy
physical contagion, like chorea,
there is every reason to conclude
that it had a like origin. In 1734,
during the celebration of the festival of St. John at Alx-la-Chapelle,
the streets became crowded with
men and women of all ranks and
ages who commenced dancing In a
wild and rrantlc manner, many losing entire control of themselves
nnd continuing to dance until
dropping down from fatigue. The
mania spread to Cologne. Metz
und Strasshurg, and gave rise to
much imposture, profligacy and
disorder.
This must be the gruesome explanation. Where we thought we were
being ravished by the beauties of a
dance we are being ravaged by the
terrors of a disease. We are a world
saltatory invalids. The poetry has
become the pathology of motion.

SIZE  OF GREAT MEN
To the Editor of The Daily News.
Sir: In your Issue of yesterday, under the heading "Why Great Men Are
Usually Small," some most astonishing statements are made which are
entirely at variance with facts as we
find them, such as, for instance, "the
greater the mind the smaller the body
is the rule." Now, the fact is that
the acme of perfection in the human
being is a well-balanced mind in a
well-balanced body—not a genius who
may he pre-eminent In one line -of
thought or action, but whose abnormal
development In this special line has
unfitted him to rank as a great all-
round man. Take Dr. Mercier's own
examples of great undersized men.
One can argue from them tn the opposite direction. For instance, Napoleon was a little man who ended ln
failure on the little island of St. Helena, put there by the thin red line
which was composed of big men physically. But let us come to the present
day, and what do we find? The eyes
of all the world have been On Canada
for some years as the land which has
shown the greatest advancement along
all lines of development and progress.
Are the great men of Canada, ai
rule, large or small men physically?
It can be found that the majority are
large—over six feet tall and well proportioned. Let us start at Montreal
and come west. Without fear of contradiction I state that the man who
for the past 15 years or more has
been the greatest man in Montreal is
Mr. R. B. Angus. As a financier he
stands first; as a director of the great
est corporation in the world—the Canadian Pacific railway—he stands
first; as a man of general knowledge
and all-round reliability and ability he
stands first; as a man of strict Integrity and unspotted character and
reputation he stands sect nd to none,
und notwithstanding his now advancing years his faculties remain unimpaired. In phyaiquahe Is one of the tallest and most symmetrically proportioned men to be met with anywhere. Take
the directorate of the Canadian Pacific railway. Or survey them together, the general Impression they give
is that of a body of big men physically. The Canadian Northern railway
system is considered as the greatest
achievement of any two Individuals,
and both Mackenzie and .Maun are
very large men physically. In.Toronto the lute Senator Cox held the most
prominent position for many years as
president of the Canada Life Assurance company, the Canadian Rank of
Commerce and other concents too numerous to mention. By his own exertions and ability he rose from the
position of a telegraph operator, and
he was well over six feet In height.
In Winnipeg the man who directed
the policy of the Canadian Pacific
railway from the great lakes to the
Pacific and who did more to make
western Canada what it is today than
any other one man, is William Whyte,
who Ib also physically a ery big man.
In fact, in looking over the men of
affairs in Canada, England and the
United States of today one ran find
stronger evidence against Dr, Mercier's theories than in favor of them
A genius Ib often far from being a
person one should wish to emulate,
because in the abnormal development
of his or her one talent many of the
most desirable traits have been
poveriBhed and they are left really unbalanced individuals, like Bobbie
Burns, the poet, or coming down to
modern times, Blind Tom, the most
gifted musician, whose ability and performances almost reached the supernatural, but who when all was summed
up apart from his wonderful musical
gift was only a poor idiot.

"Gaumont's Talking Pictures," at
the Starland Thursday. Friday and
Saturday. Harry Lauder iu "movies
is the latest innovation of silent
drama. The world was amazed when
moving pictures were offered to the
public—the eighth wonder of the universe, and one of the greatest forces
known for the public entertainment
and Instruction. But this wonder of
modern ingenuity was added to when
the talking moving pictures were recently announced. Gaumont qf Paris,
France, was the first and foremost
inventor of perfect talking pictures,
and h's perfection of the synchronism
of the voice to tbe motion pictures
has been developed to a stage where
it Is almost Impossible to be Improved
upon. The people of Nelson have bad
only a small opportunity to hearing
and witnessing this wonderful Invention and in order that a fuller and
more popular opportunity will be afforded to see and hear the talking
motion pictures the management of
the Starland theatre got in touch with
the Gaumont people in France for a
presentation o: this novelty that had
taken Europe by storm.
From hundreds of records and subjects of the world's greatest vaudeville
stars was chosen one, the greatest
singing comedian, Harry Lauder, to
head the bill that is to be shown at
the Starlaifdj" jilfibg' ^jth other well-
known artists.''-''Nelson has not had
the good fortune of having this world
famous comedian appear before them,
so this opportunity is doubly fortunate, first ln hearing and seeing the
talking moving pictures and secondly
in being entertained by that inimitable
entertainer, who has appeared many
times before the royalty of the world.
Harry Lauder receives the fabulous
sum of $1,000 per dny for his services.

DAY SEAT FARES ON
TOURIST SLEEPERS
Cars for Benefit of Families Traveling
Long   Distances—Railway
Companies Object
(By Dally News "Leased Wire)
OTTAWA, Feb. 17.—Representatives
of the Canadian Pacific railway, the
Grand Trunk railway, the Grand
Trunk Pacific and Canadian Northern
railway told the board of railway commissioners today why they consider
day seat fares should not be allowed
In tourist sleepers.
"You would be starting a second
ilass chair car," contended Mr. Fllnt-
off, representing the Canadian Pacific
railway. "Day seat fares would open
up sleepers to an undesirable class of
passengers," ho continued, amplifying
this thought with the illustration that
lumberjacks, holding second class tickets, could come Into the sleeper.
"Tourist sleepers are run for people
of limited means und chiefly for families traveling long distances," stated
G. T. Bell, on behalf of the Grand
Trunk railway and Grand Trunk Pacific. Mr. Bell objected to the proposed
day seats in the sleepers because anybody joining a sleeper, say, at a wayside station and only riding a few
miles, could turn out of a seat a passenger who was using the car ns a
sleeper.
Wo should not object to selling a
day seat in a sleeper if at the outset
we saw no Inconvenience would 'be
caused," admitted Mr.  Bell.
The case of the Canadian Northern
railway was similarly put by G. H.
Shaw, general traffic manager.
Commissioner Goodeve observed
that a person paying for a sleeper was
influenced by the fact that he would
have the sole use of a seat. Judgment
was reserved  by the board.
Not Quite Equipoed.
Three traveling companions, Gray,
Brown and Green, were breakfasting
in a hotel in the south. Gray ordered
coffee, rolls, creamed potatoes, haco*
and fried eggs; Brown told the waiter
he might duplicate the order for him,
and Green said;
"Vou may bring me In the same all
but the eggs—you may eliminate the
eggs."
In due time the waiter appeared
with the breakfast of Gray and Brown,
which he served* then stenolng
round to Green, said in a conciliatory voice:     \
"We got fried eggs, an' poaehei
egig.-t, an' "boiled eggs, an' seranvblei',
eggs, an' om'let, Bah, but We ain't go'
no 'lUnlnated eggs,"
"Well," nays Green, "my ddeln** -•-■••-
my eggs must be cllmlna.'ed. Have it
done at once, and hurry up mv breakfast.''
Away went the Walter, hut returned almost Immediately, followed by
lho cook.

Newbury, On*., April 4th. 1913.
"Some years ago, I was sick in bed,
and thought I was going to die. I had
a growth in my stomach, which the
doctors said was a Tumor aud they said
that the only tiling to do was to go to
the hospital and have the tumor cut
out. I dreaded an operation although
both doctors said it was the only enre. I
said I would die before beiugope rated on.
At this time, my mother in A Winston
sent me some "Fruit-a-tives'* and
induced me to try them as she bad beard
of another woman who had been cured
of a similar growth in the stomach by
taking "Fmit-a-tives".
To please my mother, I began to take
••'Fruit-a-tives" with the happy result
that they cured me. I have not been
to see 0 doctor since and my health is
first class.
I recommend "Fmit-a-lives" every

Great Britain Considering Adoption of
Peep Sights for Service 'Rifles—
Canadians Lead.
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
LONDON, Fob. 17.—The apathy
which for years now has ibeen shown
by the general body of English public toward the Bisley meeting- ia exemplified at the present time In the
small amount at Interest -being manifested In the difficulty between the
National Rifle assocfuMon and lhe
war office. Most folks Interested appear to think that the fault of the
new regulations, If they are faulty,
lies with the war office, but this
week's Army and Navy Gazette taikes
a different view and. describes as
grotesque to a degree the statement
of Col. Sam Hughes that the war office wants to force Canada to discard
her Ross nlfle and nse Instead thep]now
obsolete Lee-Enfield,
This same Journal reminds Col
Hugheg that a new rifle having an
aperture sight is now under consideration for use In Ibis country.
"It may certainly be argued," goes
on this* writer, "that lho war office
might have permitted the Canadians,
who In this respect aro ahead of the
rest of the empire, to use aperture
sights, but according to most people
this would have given them a distinct
advantage at Bisley.''
OPPOSED TO  INSPECTORSHIP
OF  MUNICIPALITIES
(Soccial to The Dally News)
VICTORIA, B. C, Feb. 17.—Opposition to the proposal outlined in the
Municipal bill for the Creation of an
inspectorship of municipalities waa
raised before the house municipal
committee today by a delegation from
the British Columbia union of municipalities. The delegation claimed that
it would be Impossible for any one to
take care of the work required In
checking over municipal by-laws and
passing upon bond Issues. They urged that this particular section of thc
bill be laid over for a ycar, claiming
that it Was entirely new to union
members uad had not formed a portion of the draft bill brought down
last year. Solicitor McDiarmid, of the
union, who waa for some years
city saloeitor for Victoria, urged that there should be a new
cabinet position created for this
work instead of having it placed
merely, in the hands of the attorney-
general through a sub-department In
his office.
President J. T.Robinson of the union,
former mayor of Kamloops, also urged
delay of a year for this section of
lhe. bill.

"The loan carries a rate of Interest
of four and a half per cent, and extends over 27 years," said the minister.
"By the time the loan matures we
shall have a clean bill with the -n-
terest and sinking- fund on this and all
other loans contracted. Il seems probable to me that there will be several
other loans required between now and
the expiration of this loan and that is
why I take the opportunity of referring to the capabilities of the province
in meeting these  loans."
The province, he said, was undoubtedly the richest section ol' the Dominion of Canada, ibut it was clear that
In.order to enjoy the benefits of its
natural resources it was necessary
that there should be large initial expenditures by the government. He
challenged the members of the opposition to vote for his bill, pointing out
that tho money referred to would be
spent among the working men of the
country, ;uid anything calculated lo be
of benefit to them should ibe sure In
its appeal to the members uf the opposition. Parke- Williams adjourned the

In the legislature this afternoon
Parker Williams continued the debate
on the motion of want of confidence
In tho present administration, mainly
devoting his time to a bitter personal
attack on the attorney-general. He
suld that the latter had placed his department at tho service of the mine
operators. Mr. Williams claimed that
the chief law officer had never attempted to discover the source of the
trouble at Extension, which he claimed was organized by the Canadian
Collieries company in order to prevent the British investors from becoming aware of what he alleged to
bo tho misrepresentations of .their

WHY RADIUM COSTS
SO MUCH AT PRESENT
it   Is   Mainly   Enormous   Expense  of
Extracting Element From
Ores.
The artificial price of radium, complained of by Dr. Lazarus Barlow In
the Times of Thursday last, says the
London Times, has been the subject
of much discussion in radium manufacturing circles, as all those interested in this new work realize that no
matter what fresh supplies of mineral
may he found, there will always be
very heavy works costs involved in Its
extraction. Pitchblende contains often
liO per cent of Uranium, while the minerals now being looked to for the increased supplies of radium frequently
contain only 1 or 2 per cent. The radium is present in the sani0 relative
proportions, and carnotite and outu-
aite may contain as little as five milligrams of radium to the ton of ore.
The value of radium is hardly Intrinsic in the fullest sense; It depends
on the expenses of treating the mass
of mineral with which it is associated.
Tlie mere fact that it may take 10 or
12 months or more to obtain pure
radium .bromide from the ore alone
Indicates the high cost of treatment.
While, also, there is such a deplorable
shortage of radium, many countries
are willing to pay almost any price in
order to obtain the priority of delivery.
It is hardly just, writes a well-known
radium chemist, to put the blame on
those responsible for preparing tlie
radium, hut it is reasonable to hope
for a reduction in prico when means
have.been improved for the treatment
of the low-grade minerals. In treating
these poorer grade ores the proportion
of radium to the total mass is so
minute that it requires the greatest
skill ana. efficiency to avoid losing
most of it In the ordinary works losses.
Skilled operators, expensive machinery and the length of the various processes Involved are alone responsible
for the greater part of the expense,
though the attention of many scientific men is at the present moment
being directed to means of reducing
the length and number of the operations.

THE   BEAUTY OF QUESTIONS
Sume years ago a certain candidate
a relative of one of the present New
Brunswick senators, was running for
the house of assembly for the province.
One canvass against him was that
he was an infidel and in the course of
his nomlnalilon speech an opponent
who possessed a rather shady business
reputation, shouted: '"Yo'u don't 'believe there Is a God."
"Do you, Mr, B?'1 asked the candidate.
"Of course, I do."
"Then why have you served the
devil all your life?"—St. John Standard.

ORCHARD  PLAYERS OF
BRITISH  COLUMBIA
Significant Dramatic Movement in Okanagan Valley—Interview With
William Sauter.
"When I first heard of the Orchard
Playerg of British Columbia I was
living in one of our smoke-begrlined
coast cities, overhung with sombre
clouds and wrapped] in a tissue of
rain; the name conjured up a vision
in startling contrast—a vision of a
smiling valley, a vast natural amphitheatre, transformed by man's industry into a garden. I saw In the pure
country air, laden with the perfume
cf millions of blossoms, the actors rehearsing, much like tlio scene in 'A
Midsummer Night's Dream,' where
Nick Bottom, the weaver, and his
horny-handed friends, citizens of Athens, retire to the wood to rehearse
the tragedy of Pynimus and Tliisbe,
to lie performed on the duke's wedding
day at. night," says William Sauter.
"Better ucquninLince with the orchard players, however, demonstrated
that they aro by no means as rustic
as the name would imply. On the
contrary, they are polished men and
women, accustomed to the life of cities
who sought In the quiet of the Okanagan valley to find now strength and
heultth, a saner outlook upon life, and
that deeper insight which comes from
meditation and work close to the soil,"
William Sauter, the man who conceived the idea of the Orchard Players, and who will produco bhe plays,
as well as playing » prominent part
In the different productions, has won
his theatrical spurs With such notables as Sir J. Forbes-Robertson, H. S.
-jVillard, James K. Ilackett, Eleanor
Robson and William Terrls.
Mr. Sauter Is a young man and an
enthusiast, but his enthusiasm is governed,, by practicality and experience.
He has been a resident of British. Columbia for the past three years, and
sees an opportunity in this province
for a company of actors of ideals, presenting the plays the people want In
their entirety, with every "advantage in
the way of adequate scenic environment, costuming and stage direction.
"Several of the Orchard Players
have their own orchards, some are incidentally connected with fruit growing, while other work out on a hired
man's wage. In the winter -Uie fruil
grower has a lot of time on his hands
which Is often utterly wasted for lack
of something worth while to do. Our
idea," continued Mr. Sauter, "is ta
utilize that spare time, thereby affording the people generally an opportunity of seeing good plays presented by
actors of talent and training,
"The actor in order to project the
character ihe is playing across the
footlights should live as close to nature as possible, in order that he may
Infuse his roles with that sincerity
and virility which makes the puppets
of the dramatist actually live their
brief hour upon the boards. The combination of fruit-growing and acting,
therefore, ls an admirable one.
"My idea in organizing the Orchard
Players and placing ihe enterprise
upon a business basis," says Mr. Sauter, "wns to provide British Columbia
with a permanent company capable
of giving first-class prodiietiona of the
£ltyi,,wjti<jli appeal mos|t to our -people, ' I
"Under the present regime we depend almost entirely upon, the judgment of eastern managers for our attractions, the result being Hint many
of the better playB are rarely, If ever,
Been In the west. My idea is to give
our patrons what they want In the
way of dramatic fare, and during our
coming tour ohe public will be Invited
to vote rin a long list of dramas.
Those plays which make the strongest appeal to our audiences will be
produced by us during the succeeding
season."
"Do you expect to present many
plays each season, Mr. Sauter?" was
the next question asked.
"No. In my opinion weeks of study
and rehearsal are necessary to produce any drama that is worth- while.
Por that reason we shall lital-t our
repfertoire to a few plays, endeavoring
to slve a smooth, well-rounded Pre-
senlatlaiu-coniplete in every detail of
business." ■
Mr. Sauter is fortunate in having
associated With him in this enterprise
men -ami .women who are imbued with
the 'best traditions of tiie theatre, having tefteivedi their training with some
of .the, greatest actors and actresses
who ever trod the boards.
'She leading lady is Miss Dora Rig-
nold, daughter of the well-known actor, Wjlliafa Rigiiold, who will be remembered for her engagement with
Sir Herbert Tree at His Majesty's in
"Pinkie dhd the Fairies." and) "Juliet,"
in Australia and ia Loudon. Alias Rig.
noltk-has also supimrted such favorites.as Sir John Hare. Sir George Alexander and H. B, Irving.
Another member is Arthur L.
Soflntes, who was associated with
Lewis Waller, witli Cyril Maude, with
Peitfey in "Charley's Aunt," with Lady
Bancroft, and with the famous Lyceum
and -Haymarket companies. He also
successfully toured Australia.
L. Race Dunrobfn is another prominent member of tlie Orchard Playefa.
Mr. Dunroblit is remembered by many
London theatre-goers through his association with such favorites aa Uie
late Henry Irving, Nazimova, Eleanor
Robson and Fred Terry.
"Our repertoire," continued Mr. Sauter, "wild, include lhe best of the modem comedies, such as Bernard Shaw's
delightful plays, it being the intention
to present such favorites as "Pile Rivals,' the 'School for Scandal,' 'Slit
Stoops to Conquer,1 and 'David Gar
rick.' These plays, in my opinion, are
not only of high merit, looked at from
a literary point of view, but are intensely . interesting, and because of
their construction, brilliancy of dialogue and strength of motives make
the strongest appeal to all classes of
people, from plain working men and
women to the student, the business
man and the social leader.
"It is not difficult to foresee the
far-reaching influences which such
movement as that of the Orchard
Players is likely lo have. In the firs)
place, it will tend to develop histrionic
ability and a deeper Interest in 'the
drama among the inhabitants of our
province. Secondly, It will dQ more
to advertise British Columbia than a
miiliitudo of printed hooks, Thirdly,
it will tend to keep in circulation at
home thousands of dollars now annually taken away hy louring companies. Brltisli Columbia has generally awakened to tho fact that if we
are ever to have a great province it
can only be by developing our natural
resources and by patronizing our horn.!
producers and manufacturers. While
at first though} It may seem raw and
inapt to compare the artist with the
manufacturer of such n, homely commodity as, say, brooms, or the grower
of potatoes, nevertheless, in the last
analysis wo find that tlie same conditions prevail and the same loyalty on
the part of the public is essential to
success and continued prosperity for
both producer and consumer. Last,
but not least, it seems that this movement ought to inspire a series of lira
mas racy of the soil, breathing the
optimism of the west."
The soring tour of. tlie Orchard
Players will include tha principal
towns and cities of British Columbia,
giving practically everyone the
chance of .s-seing this Bplendld organization,      i.     ■ ■
SOMETHING   OF   A   HORSE-THIEF
Martin Donohoe, the London Daily
Chronicle's war correspondent and
special writer, can't make much of a
speech, but he can say tin* little-things
that count.'• Thus, at the Australian
Journalists' club the other evening he
got the big cheer when modestly replying to the high praise that had
been passed upon bis eventful work,
by laying much of the credit to his
early journalistic training fn Australia., "1 can never forget that," hc said,
nd the crowd made It clear that they
-*ould never forget it either. "1 commenced my journalistic and horsestealing career in Sydney," he went on,
"and, at any rate, I'm a rjuallfled
hbfsia-stealer. I began in a small way.
I stole one horse at Hurtsvllle when
I was In a hurry on a, job for the
•Evening News'; but Jn South Africa
during the war 1 stole a number of
-horses. Ami J wouldn't like to tell you
how many I stole during the Balkan
war." Donohoe, adds the Bulletin,
looks after lhe Piris end of things for
the London Chronicle when he isn't
horse-stealing.—Sydney Bulletin.

Too Many Middlemen1, He Says.
Dr.   Wolverton   could  not  see  why
lhe Okanagan organization should hc
compelled to pay commission men for
Imiidllng the produce.   "Can wP grow
Tiult and make a profit of it if Ve
pave to nay five middlemen?" nsked
Wolverton,   who   mentioned the
|?Qiiiinissioiis paid to the different mid-
emeu.    He Instanced the operations
[it, a  flour mill  to allow what  oould
done by selling direct to reliable
Retailers In carload lots.   For 30 year;-!

bold al)  its output to retailors and
Iliad made 50 cents ;i barrel extra by

Under the present ctrcumstiiices it
heeined the growers could not do -my*
■thing hut support the prea-aitt organ-
lizatlon. In 11)15, the situation might
|b(! changed.
0, B. Appleton saw no reason for
■any further experiments and urged
■that tlie members of the union carry
Tt.helr organization io a success. It
■was already practically on Its feet, he
■said. There was no doubt that there
■would be sufficient, pioduce next fall
Jto pay expenses.
VfW. Bourke agreed, hut spoke ol
need  for raising a few  hundred
[-dollars for running expenses.
"I don't believe you could collect

■$10 each, he thought.
,1. D. Macdonell spoke of the advi

government would not Bend an organizer this year.
Union   Must   Flourish—Lord   Aylmer.
"The thing has got to flourish; it
has to, there's nothing else left lor
us." asserted Lord Aylmer.
If nil the centres In the district
were organized under the act it would
make the work ot the union as a central organization much easier, said
Mr. Macdonell.
R. T. IlickeB Bald he was in sympathy with the movement If the local
organizations would work in sympathy
with the central union.
The deputy minister had made it
clear while iu Nelson that practically
tho whole district must be organized
before the government would loan any
money: it would not aid an Isolated
local union, said Dr. Wolverton,
W. JMoon'ey of Crawford Bay suggested that as there are 2G districts
In the association some districts
should guarantee $100 ami some join
together in that amount, the arrangements for the guarantee being made
in each district.
Dr. Wolverton did not believe the
end could be accomplished without a
personal canvass. HQ suggested that
cards of two characters be prepared,
one containing a pledge of $5 payable
at a certain time, guaranteed by a
promise of 100 boxes of It'll apples
or oilier produce to an equal amount,
allowing the union to deduct the $!"..
This would enable the grower to pay
cash to meet the obligation If he
desired, InstOiid of shipping the produce. An alternative pledge would be
a direct promise of ?& over and above
commission, the nionoy in each case
to be devoted lo meeting overhead ex
peases.
Sonic delegates thought the amount
should be $W: others favored a guarantee of a percentage of the crop
grown by each rancher.
The people of Hobson were willing
to pay a fair commission, liO per cent
if 10 were not enough, but they were
averse to donations, said A. D. Clyde
of that place.
Suggests Emergency Fund.
.M. S. Middleton suggested that it
might bo advisable In future years to
deduct 10 per cent commission and
hold hack an additional 10 per cent
as an emergency fund to he Used if
required.1 He believed the people bad
enough confidence lu the union to
support it and that if It could hold
out until the fruit were ready Tor shipment the worst of its troubles would
b0 over. He did »ot favor securing a
loan from tho government, but thought
the union would achieve greater ultimate success if Us nose were kept to
the grindstone and economy made absolutely necessary. He felt confident
the union would prove a success. Dr.
Wolverton's plan was a good one to
meet present needs.
Mr. Tarry favored the plan t0 raise
the commission if necessary in order
that the 'tixwas of the union might be
safeguarded.
It was decided to change the 100
boxes guarantee In Dr. Wolverton's
plan to 50 per cent of the crop. Those
producing over ?100 worth of fruit will
bo asked to guarantee ?10. Payment
of $5 or $10 In cash by April 1 relieves the rancher of the liability to
ship through the union.
Another resolution suggested that
the union should hold back an addi
tion 5 per cent for overhead expenses,
to be used if required.
Financial Statement.
A financial statement presented
showed that in liMl the loss Tor five
months was $402.43 per month; In
11)12, $170,011 per month, and In 1018
$145.30 per month. The expenses in
1012 were $3,345.35; and in 1913, $2,-
885.51. At the present time the union
was short $534, including a note at
the bank for $500.
Estimating an increase of 75 per
cent in the year's business it is figured that about $1,500 will have to
ho raised to break even on overhead
charges. With the donations provided for In Dr. Wolverton's plan aud
the emergency deduction of an additional 5 per cent commission it Is figured this amount will he made up.

SCHOOL ESTIMATES
MAY BE REDUCED
informal   Conference   Will   Be   Held
With Object of Relieving Some
gf City Burden.
With a view to discussing the possibility of some reduction in the school
estimates; which this year amount to
$37,875, a, conference has heen arranged between Aid. T. D. Stark, chairman of the finance committee of the
city- council, and J- H. Lawrence,
chairman of the finance committee of
the board.
In view of the heavy calls which
will be made .this year on city revenue
it is hoped by Aid. Stark that an informal conference may result In some
reduction in the school estimates.
SET SALARY OF
HEALTH OFFICER
Says Janitor Work at Public School
Is Too  Expensive  Luxury
for City.
Dr. Isabel Arthur, school medical
health officer, will be paid up to the
end of the school year in June next
at the rate fixed early last year, which
was $1 per head up to 600 pupils examined and 50 cents per head for all
above that number, with the provision
that the total amount for the school
year shall not exceed $700. For the
next school year, commencing on July
1, payment will be $500 per annum,
probably payable in three equal instalments.
This was decided by the school
trustees last night, when it was explained that the former rate had been
decided upon for the balance of the
present school year because It had
been found that up to December 31
last Dr. Arthur had examined 547 pupils and could therefore claim $1 per
head for that number on the basis
of payment first fixed hy the 1913
board. Duties of llie officer with regard to attending at the school only
when necessary are set forth In the
resolution passed. Dr. A. V. Jones
recorded nn objection to fixing the
salary for the uext school year. For
the calendar year 1913 Dr. Arthur received $(i08.50, It was stated.
That the janitor department at the
public school was a very expensive
luxury was the opinion expressed by
James H. Lawrence, who figured that
with extra help this work was costing
the people $1,935 a year. The janitor
Is paid $90 per month and his wife
gets $5 per month, with free quarters
and other advantages, which Mr. Law-
retico considered brought the salary
to $130 per month, He considered that
one man could be found who would
do all the work for $75 per month It
applicants were called for. In fact,
he thought there would be so many
wanting the job at that figure that
a squad of police would he needed to
keep them In order while the board
made its choice.
John Hamilton spoke of the need
for additional help and Dr. Jones de
clared that if the janitor's wife did
not aid in sweeping the school one
man could not do the work. There
were 18 rooms, in addition to the hall
and gymnasium, and It should be
worth $90 a mouth to keep them in
order in addition to firing the furnace.
She usserted the board could not get
one muu to do the work.
Mr. Lawrence continued to contend
that the board was paying too much
for the work, when the free quarters,
light, witter and fuel were considered,
and Dr. Jones said n, medical health
officer could be secured for less money
and that tlie old board had secured
one. Mr. Lawrence argued that some-
thing should be done. The chairman
said the matter could be taken up at
the end of the school year.
Insurance on the public school will
be Increased from $45,000 t0 $03,000.,
as a result of a detailed report by a
special committee. By a readjustment the extra cost will be only $80
per annum. Tenders will be called
for prism covering Tor areiiB at the
school. At the suggestion of Dr. Wolverton and Harry Amas school supplies for the year will be ordered after
tenders havo been secured. Dr. Jones
or the secretary will purchase any
small amounts of material that may
be required In addition.
\Tliat somo of the classes were overcrowded was the opinion of Dr. Jones
and the management committee will
nulke a report on the matter,

THE   DIS APPEARING" HORSE
Police truiffllc returns for London
for 1913 as compared with previous
years -show the rapidly-growing use
of motor vehicles. In 1!)13 only 0 per
cent of the passenger vehicles were
horse-dirawn, compared with 11 per
cent iu 1912 and 13 per cent In 1911.
Practically now, the horse has -disappeared, so far as passenger transportation goes. 1 In .freight traffic the
horse still of course is the maiin pull,
though dwindling. In 1913, 88 per cent
of the traffic vehicles were horse-
drawn, compared with 01 per cent in
1912 ana 94 .per cent >in 1911. One of
tihe most prominent features of tihe
traffic census results for 1913 1s the

SIR WILFRED ASKS
LARGER COMMITTEE
(continued  from page gpp.1
principle of   proportional   representation. '     -
In closing the debate for the day,
Mr. Borden said that while disposed
to think that a smaller committee
would be best, he would consult with
Sir Wilfrid with regard to his proposal that it should consist of nine,
membors. In regard to Prince Kdward Island, he maintained that parliament could, legislate subject to subsequent ratification of any change
made by the-imperial'parliament.
At the evening sitting there was an
amusing debate over the question of
the construction of a public building
at Brantford, the point at Issue being
the Importation of American stone to
make up for a shortage of the Canadian product.
Then the  house went Into committee of supply on the estimates of lhe
department of trado and commerce.
Judges Act,
When the house niet R. Lanctot,
Naplervllle, Introduced an act to
amend tbe Judges act. The bill provides that a judge cannot take a pension until he has served 25 years on
the bench instead of 15 years, as nt
present; judges on retirement will
receive only two-thirds of their salary. The bill provides, however, that
all judges must retire on reaching the
age of 75 years. The bill further pro
vides that a retired judge drawing a
pension who accepts another position
of emolument under the crown must
have deducted from his pension the
amount of the salary received.
Redistribution Bill.
Premier Borden then moved the
second reading of the redistribution
bill. He snid that it followed the bill
of 1903 except that clauses 7 and 8
of that bill were not Included. This
wns because they hnd been repealed
In 1904, Mr. Borden then dealt with
the suggestion made by B. M. Macdonald, Plctou, that the maritime provinces should not suffer any reduction
In representation because the loss Iu
people does not represent one-twentieth of the aggregate population of
Canada.
Mr. Borden said that the relation
the population of the maritime provinces bore to the aggregate population of Canada nt the 1901 census was
six-Blxtleths, while at the last census
It was five-sixtieths. Hc could not
see any possibility of a reason being
found In these figures for the maintenance of the maritime provinces'
representation as at present. Mr. Borden added that he regretted that tbe
provinces down by the sea must lose
a portion of their membership.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in opening, said
It was desirable to lay down the principles which should guide the committee.
Sir Wilfrid proceeded to say that
be had every confidence tnat tho com
mittee to be named in this Instance
would also be guided by a spirit ol
fair play, equality ah-* justice. Tin
guiding principle which should govern
the committee. Sir Wilfrid said, should
include a determination to equalize
as far as possible the population of
the various constituencies. Then
county boundaries should be adhered
to whenever possible, with due regard
to the compactness of constituencies,
Prince Edward Island.
It was ail admitted view that the
unit of population could not be tho
Banie in rural and urban ridings. One
supreme reason was that In Canada,
with Its great ureas and sparse population, the rural constituencies would
be too large if the requirement was
tho same.
Sir Wilfrid took issue with the action of Premier Bordeltt in leaving it
for the committee to determine whether or not Prince Edward Island should
lose a member. This, he said, was a
question on which tho committee and,
indeed, the house itself, had no juris
diction. Parliament was not a free
agent in the matter. It was a ques
tion of arithmetic alone.
In conclusion Sir Wilfrid suggested
that the committee should consist of
uine members instead of seven. The
Importance of the west today, as compared with 1903, justified this, he
thought.
Action  Illegal.!
E. M. Macdonald, Plctou, discussed
the representation of Prince Edward
Island. He pointed 0l|t that parliament had power to Increase the membership in any province, but not to
decrease it except in the regular
course, following the census. He declared that the action of the committee would be illegal and improper if
It set out to give Prince Edward Island more members.
He did see one solution of the difficulty, however, which arose because
of the anomaly of Prince Edward Island pointed out by the premier, that
if it lost a member now. It would have
a smaller representation In the house
than In the senate, where it was on-
titled to four members. New Brunswick, he said, would havo 11 members
in the house and 10 senators.
The premier, lie said, had approach-
t the question very fairly and he
trusted that the same attitude would
be maintained by the committee,
which would have the filling in of the
schedule.
J. J. Hughes. Prince Edward Island,
who followed, made a strong plea to
maintain the present representation
of the Island.
W. F. Maclean, South York, thought
a representation of political thought
throughout the country was desirable
and referred to the lack or representation of the minorities, Labor, for example. He thought parliament might
bo made smaller with advantage and
believed that after the next election
there should be a constitutional revision of several questions now unsettled.
Proportional Representation,
Hon. G. P. Graham was also lu favor
of proportional representation and
thought there wns something wrong
with tbe present system so far as
minorities were concerned.
A. A. McLean, Prince Edward Island, argued that owing.to a mistake
in the confederation resolutions of
18fi7 Prince Edward Island had heen
deprived of her right to six members.
He thought that the.BrltlBh North
America net should be amended and
the original representation restored.
O. Turgeon said tho Island province
YEAST
should, with tbo other maritime prov
inces, abide by the terms of confed
oration. He suggested the desirability of a union of the three maritime
provinces iu order to Increase their
political influence and also advocated
the bringing of Newfoundland Into the
union.
Premier Borden spoke nt the evening sitting, replying briefly to some
of the points thai had been raised,
particularly with reference L> Prince
Edward Island, and moved the adjournment of the debate to Thursday
next.
Mr. Borden defended his course in
leaving llie settlement uf Prince Edward Island representation to the
committee. n was desirable, he
thought that tho situation in thai province should iho oarofullv considered.
With respect t(l Slr Wilfrid's sueees-
tlon that thi. committee consist of nine
members, .Mr, Borden said he saw no
special reason whv it was necessary lo
1i.-j.V6 a member from oven- province
He thought the smaller committee lh,
hotter, but he would 'be quite iv-illlnp
to confer with the leader of tho opposition in regard to the suggestion.

POLICE  HOPE TO SOLVE
COAST MURDER MYSTERY
(Bv Dallv Newt Leased Wire.)
VANCOUVER. B. C, Feb. 17.—In
the arrest today of Eloosha Dzabaeff,
a Russian laborer, on a charge of
murder, the provincial police believe
they will be able to solve the mysterious disappearance of Alex Seki-
nael'f. a well-to-do Russian contractor,
of whom no trace has been seen by
his friends since November 5, 1912.
Photographs and descriptions of
Sekinaeft were published in city papers a year ago and a reward offered
by his friends, but without avail. Since
that date Chief of Police Smith and
his staff of provincial officers have
heen engaged in clearing up the mystery. The manner of the clearing up
Is expected to develop n sensational
story and will probably result in other
arrests. It Is alleged that Sekinaeft'
wns killed in the Burnaby woods,
south of the cky, and that his body
was thrown into Still creek.

them after the restoration.

a great artistic discovery.
He says tho pictures are youthful

'Japanese Catarrh Cure
If you have Catarrh you'll be interested  in this remedy.    Read the testimonials below, see what it  has  done
for others and, therefore, should do for you.
Hearing Restored After Physicians Failed,—Mr.
I). \V. Spencer, 11 Cobitnlrie Ave., Toronto, writes:
"I have been much troubled with catarrh and deafness for ti number of years, whieh wero becoming
worse each year. I consulted specialists in Toronto
and in Winnipeg, while living there about two years
ago, but obtained no permanent benefit. About a
year ago I got a sample of Japanese Catarrh Cure.
I afterwards purchased two bottles 111 all, and believe I have now got a permanent cure, as catarrh
has not troubled me since. My bearing is now as
acute as any person's could lie, I can cheerfully and
conscientiously recommend it."
Cured After Eight Years' Suffering.—Mr. R. K
Fleming, Toronto representative for Messrs. Ewlng
& Sons, cork manufacturers, Montreal, writes:
''HaVlrig been very much troubled with catarrh during thc past eight years, and now being completely
cured after using Japanese Catarrh Cure, I feel that
I-cannot say too much in its favor. Previous to using
this remedy I had,spent hundreds of dollars with
doctors and remedies, but obtain nd only, temporary
relief. It is now nearly' six months since I used
Japanese Catarrh Cure, and catarrh lias not troubled
me since."
Cured After Specialists in Toronto and San Francisco-Failed.—Mr. .tosoph tittle, the well-known mill
owner, of Pt. Essington, B, C, writes: "Japanese
Catarrh Cure cured mo of catarrh which had troubled
mo for twenty-five years, during which Mine I had
spent   over   $1,000   with   specialists   in   Toronto   and
San Francisco, but obtained no permanent relief until
using Japanese Catarrh Cure about two years ago.
Since that time I havo been completely cured, t
my catarrh lias, not troubled ine ln the least. We also
keep a supply' in the mill for cuts and sores, and
can say It la the best remedy for healing wo have
ever used." . ,      . ,
Minister's DaughteP Cured.—Mrs. Fisher, wlfo of
tho Rev. Andrew Fisher, The Rectory, Beachville,
Ont., writes: "Enclosed please find 50c. for a bottle
of -Japanese Catarrh Cure. My daughter used the
sample you sent, and It has done her a great deal of
good."
Cold in the Head Cured in a Night.—Mr. Alex.
McRao, the well-known tailor of New Westminster,
11. C, writes: "I was suffering from a severe cold ln
the bead, which was apparently developing Into
catarrh. I purchased a box of Japanese Catarrh Cure,
applied it at night wheh going to bed, and In tho
morning all trace of cold had disappeared."
Husband and Nephew Curod.—Mrs. Farr, wife, of
Jos'. Farr, merchant, Chilliwack, B. C, writes: "My
husband lias been troubled very badly with catarrh
for years. Hc tried many advertised remedies and
doctors, but In every ease the catarrh came back.
One year ago he used Japanese Catarrh Cure, and
since finishing the treatment with this remedy, has
had no sign of catarrh. My nephew, William Bent-
ley, was also cured by this remedy. Wo keop It for
sale in our store, and know of many others whom it
has cured."
