B.C. The litigation arose out of the purchase by the Cianhy Consolidated Mining, Smelting & Power company'of fhe Outsider group of mineral claims f<»r $»00,0M from American Securities corporation, limited, which was the bank's British Columbia holding company. Woldson, a dlre?tor of ihe bank, had obtained on behalf of the syndicate, an .option to purchase the mine and 'Sos- tad, who negotiate d a sale to the Orunby company, has been awarded judgment, against Woldson for f20.- 000 commission.

OTTAWA, Keb. 23.—Deadlock again mad? itself evident in the board of railway commissioners today in the hearings over western grain rates. The division occurred during the irgumcnt upon the claim made by ^nw'uitchewan and Alberta that the eastbound rates on grain and flour, i« ut present in force, do not comply with the Crow's Nest Pass agreement bniight into effect by the ■ict passed last election. U. 11. Woods, K.C, counsel for Alb. rto. claimed that he had madd i prinn facie case that these rates, as In effect, constituted unjust discrimination against certain points on th? branch lines in the northern part of the prairie provinces. He rested his case at this juncture and asked ihrt board to put the burden of proof that the rates were not discriminatory upon the shoulders of the railways It was on this point that tha commissioners divided, three to three.' Reserve Judgment Tbe chairman, Hon, A. A, Wfi Keown, held that the onus was on th? railways, and was supported In hi.-i stand by Deputy Chief Commissi ner Vlrn and Commissioner Oliver, while', mi the other lvir.d, .AmLsumiI ?hl?f Commission;r Mci^ean and Commissioners Boyce and Lawrence ex- pressel the view that a nrlma facia ■TSse had not been established. Following this decision, which occasioned "onsblc-ablo argument as to its aetunl meaning, counsel for the two western provinces and for the railways rested their cases, and Judgment was reserved. Mileage Too Long This closed the argument on east- bound grain rates; but counsel for Mbcrla. Saskatchewan and British Co. lumbla then went on with their contention that the westbound rates on ?rain and flour were in themselves not In accord with the Judgment issued In September. The main criticism of existing rates made by the western provinc?s was that the constructive mileage used In making rates nn the Canadian Pacific railway was 124 miles too long. The existing rates, now being attacked, are tfcitfl upon Canadian National mileage from Edmonton to Vancouver; and, as this mileage Is 124 miles greater than the distance from Calgary to Vancouver, and the Calgary and Kdmonton rates are equal, 12t miles hnve been added to the ***&ajnfl employed in fixing westbound rates from C.P.R stations east of Calgary. A brief reply to the criticism of these rates was made by A. Fraser, on behalf of the Canadian National, who argued that the rates put In fo-ce on that railway were fully In accord with the order of th? hoatd. The reply of the Canadian Pa-ilflc railway ls to be made tomorrow morning hy R p. Flintoft, K.C. counsel for that company. The caps Is expected to conclude tomorrow.

He laid stress on this point, because much of what had been said and written was due to a misunderstanding that this problem had been postponed until Germany's entry and had unavoidably to be discussed whei ^ny, alteration was made In the composition of the council. The minister would discuss no Individual claim, but desired to submit a view which bad received too little attention. The rouncll with Germany would consist of 11 members. Were 11 pipmbers sufficient to speak the moral judgment of the world when at any given moment in most solemn and critical circumstances, six out of the 11 might be unable to give a vole or take party in a decision because they themselves were Interested parties, and the views nf the council might be the -lewf* of a minority?

Claims Unfair Treatment of Canada's Cattle MANCHESTER, England. Feb. 23. —".Nationally this country is not treating Canada fairly," declared President' Savltle of the Manchester Butchers' association at the association's annual meeting1 here last night. "Why should Canada's cattle be treated as foreign when Irish cattle nre treated aa English?" President Saville asked. "Even if Canada's cattle are not given full freedom here," the president of the Butchers' association, continued, "it might reasonably be stipulated that the Canadian cattle should be brought to the abbatolr under licence to be killed." President Saville said that if such freedom were given to the importation of Irish cattle, the hatchers here could save considerable money.

CUSTOMS KNEW OF LAX STATE ON THE BORDER (Continued From Page One.> could repeat converaatlons he had had with the minister. Mr. Boivin said he was' at liberty to repeat anything1. There was nothing to hide. Had No Fund* Mr. Sparks explained that one of the reasons why the Commercial Protective association spent money on Investigation of smuggling was that the department of customs, in 1934, had no special fund for auch Investigation. Last session $340,000 had been voted for this purpose, and the association took up with R. H. Farrow, deputy minister of customs, the question of getting a refund ot money spent by the association since the beginning of this fiscal year, amounting to $5502. Mr. Sparks' impression was that both the minister and the deputy minister were" favorable for the pro- pottl. Mr. Sparks wrote on February 4 asking if this sum could be refunded. The association would expend it on engaging counsel to conduct Its busl ntss at the present probe, and then it would not be necessary to raise more money for that purpose or to auk the government to pay for counsel "to act on behalf of the business community." The association had previously asked the government to pay for such a counsel. Claimed Was Unfair Later he met Mr. Boivin personally, and the minister had said that Mr. Sparks "had been moat unfair to him and was trying to make trouble for the government." For this reason Mr. Sparks understood that Mr. Boivin would not authorize refund of the money referred to. Mr. Sparks then had written another leiter stating that Mr. Bolvinr's assertions were a reflection on the association and on himself, and he hoped that Mr. Boivin would furnish an opportunity for the discussion before the committee of the exact relationship between the government and the association. Mr. Boivin said that waa exactly what ho wanted to do. What steps had Mr. Sparks taken since Mr. Boivin had taken over the customs department to communicate any charge of maladministration of the department or any dishonesty of officials. Charged Dishonesty Mr. Sparks said that he had twice laid before the minister in a general way the result of , his investigations, and had charged that officials were dishonest. \jjitt Mc Boivin—What officials? Mr. Sparks—I don't think I was specific. Mr. Boivin: "I don't think you Mr. Boivin—I don't think you fur*. Mr. Sparks said that the only thing he had said about Mr. Boivin that could be construed as a reflection on hint was that he expressed the opinion that the minister was "not strong enough to clean up the situation." That was merely meant to Imply, that without a committee of investigation, without publicity, Mr. Bolvin's hands would ' not be strengthened and he would not be able to take any drastic action.

FINANCE MATTERS LEFT TO COUNCIL Wider Powers of Medical Health Officer Favored by Employees of Smelter TRAIL, Feb. 23.—Agitation here for a school nurse instead of a full-time medical health officer was definitely quieted last night at a Joint meeting of the Trail and Tadanac councils aad t\%~ Trall-Tadanac school board. This action was taken after lt had "been pointed out that it was at present Impossible, due to the financial condition of the city, to engage both a full-time; health officer and a school nurse. These civic bodies Indorsed, with but three dissenting votes, the proposition of a full-time medical health officer. The matter of financing was left to th* civic bodies to work out themselves after discussion had defined probable salary limits, and tho duties the appointee would be required to perform. Salaries at Essondale hospital ranged from $2000 for assistants up" to |<500 for a superintending phys'clan per year, it was pointed out H»lson Controversy Quoted The recent controversy ln Nelson between the health officer and the school board was alluded to ln reference to the wide powers Invested in the medical health officer. He could issue mandates and enforce sanitary measures that a nurse could not deal with. Prior to the meeting of the civic bodies, delegates from the I.O.D.E. prevented arguments favoring a nurse, advancing the need for education in hygiene in the homes, and for adolescent children. They believed a nurse Would follow up school reports on a child's health and physical defects with information and advice, to the parents. A nurse with or without a doctor was their ultimately Implied desire. Men Favor Officer Delegates from the workmen's committee of the smelter, representing roughly 2000 men and their families, declared the men supported appointment of a full-time medical health officer after getting'the men's opinion on It. Delegates from East Trail Ratepayers' association also favored a full-time health officer. They declared services of a man were needed to enforce sanitation In East Trail. They were opposed to a half-time officer as being unsatisfactory and little improvement on the present system. At no stage was the Idea of employing a nurse discredited, however. It ^as supported by eomft members of thn civic bodies In addition to a doctor. This suggestion met the same objection as one on a naif-time officer and a school nurse, mainly that of Insufficient funds. When the civic bodies mot by themselves, the whole matter was threshed out once more with additional and apprehensive data showing the limits of a school nurse's powers, deciding the more extended duties a medical health officer would be required to perform and a discussion of the financial aspect. A nurse still found much favor, but lt was thought that a doctor would be more lu the Interests of the Schools and the city gencrully at this time. Mayor H. Clark, who presided throughout, announced publicly that pressure of civic bushiest* imd been responsible for the delay in calling the joint meeting. He referred to the agitation as not beln* warranted by any unfavorable conditions of sanitation, or disease existing In Trail. 'Trail Man Is on Auto Club Provincial Body TRAIL. Feb, 23.—W. E. B.

The return game will be played In Kingston Friday night. At the request of Alderman J. T. Berrington, chairman of the parks, .cemetery and health comtml'.ee, the city council last night gave the committee petrdssion to obtain new sketches from a practical, but not practicing contractor, for a new isolation hospital to conform with the minimum requirements of Dr. E. C. Arthur, city medical luulth officer, and alternately, sketches for remodelling of the C. F. McHardy residence, also to conform with the health officer's minimum requirements. With the two sets of sketches, the council will be in a position, Alderman Berrington said, to make an intelligent choice botween what at present seem to be the two most feasible propositions, the hospital board having decided not to entertain the idea of a joint isolation institution. If the new building should figure out at only $2000 or $3000 more than the remodelled one, he suld he personally fnvored putting the money Into a new building. The counsel unanimously authorized the venture, In submitting tho committee's estimates for the health department. Alderman Berrington explained that the committee could not, of course, know whether, ln the event of a remodelled residence becoming the isolation hospital, the city council would wish to keep up the present building, but its maintenance for eight months was estimated for, Mrs. (D, C. Fraser and Mrs. A. Dolphin, members of tho nursing profession, were present as a deputation from the Woman's institute, |.o again draw attention to the urgency of the Isolation hospital matter, which nti earlier deputation urged a few weeks ago. As spokesman, Mrs. Fraser said the institute sincerely hoped the council's decision would be for a new hospital, not an existing building "fixed up." Hour*. Rocks—Orci'popti luted Describing the present Ward street institution, she said the house liter- ally rocked whenever a street cur passed, and seemed on the point of fulling down; thut In every way it was in disrepair, from leaky taps up. At times there had been as high as nine or 10 patients at one time—boys and girls, men and women, in a house that no real estate agent would ever offer for a family of over five. There was such a condition la.st September. Nelson's great need was a properly built and welt equipped isolation hospital, she declared, and It was literally a crying need. 'The Women's institute Is behind you in this mutter, with the little sum it has collected," she added. "If the Gyros, and other organizations, realized the acute need, they surely would back you, loo, In correcting this condition." The parents of 17 ur 18 children who had been treated In the present building would give moral support too. "We appreciate your interest," Mayor J. A. McDonald assured the deputation. "The matter Is under consideration, and something effective will be done." Plan Commodious Buildings for Canadian Students PARIS, Franc?.

To mike the dumpling; pastry dough sift one and one-third cups of pastry flour with one-fourth teaspoon of sait. Many women add a pinch (perhaps one-fourth teaspoon) of baking powder to their pastry, £ind there is no loubt about its making pie crust lighter. You may add a pinch of It to this recipe if you wish, although It is not absolutely necessary. Cut 'nto this flour-mixture one-third cup of leaf lard. To do this, use two knives held together so that the flat if the blades are touching, and work 'Ik* a pair of scissors. Do not try fo cut every tiny crumb of lard into 'he flour.

B.C. t have your, letter of February 12, 1,926, with enclosures as stated nnd how^fceg to report that in accord had her called as a witness. The fact that . Miss Newell waa not called, however, would not In my opinion, be any reason why the provisions of Section 18 of the^ coroner's act should be Invoked. On the contrary 1 am satisfied that had her evidence been produced to the Jury It would have strengthened the evidence very considerably in favor of the verdict already brought in. Why Nurse Not OUled Question No. 5,—Were the chief of police, and the coroner informed during the inquest that Miss Younge had made a statement re* sardine a certain conversation held with Mrs. Mathews at the hospital, previous to Mrs. Mathews' death? If so, were the coroner and chief of police given to understand that thia was of a contradictory nature to statements already made by Mrs. Mathews? Answer No. • 5.—Chief of Po- ___________ Uoe Long states that the first intl- .^:^lVVn7Tnstructione F*have ™*tJ°"..he«.!l? #^y-_,V-'"Ct_ *V*i!: .!, jtW(^e a thorough investigation into all the circumstances surrounding the tragedy .and-have no hesitation in Stilting -that no evidence whatever is -'Available on which I oouid conscientiously recommend that this inquest oa'fce reopened, as provid-d for in " Section 18, of the Coroners' act.

Mr. Matkln handed me 19 uestions, which he claimed required II investigation and which tha petltion- li ers Wished answered. These qnes- i tlons are now appended and. In an- j ewer form to each, I have given the ] result of my investigation. j ■ /' 3Tq Critk4_.ni of Police I j I do not think there is nny crit- S leism coming to the city police over | the manner ln which the invemiga- 1 tlon was handled. Possibly had •j ooth persons been dead and no di- . red evidence available, as ln this 4 case, minor details would have re- J otlved more attention, or had the .; police department known tha'. fur- 1 ther Investigation would hiv* been 1 mnde, undoubtedly these lin.- mar | ters would ha*c been mor.> care- l! fulr/ covered, H In the answers given to the ques- •i tlons referred to. I havo comment- J' ed on the fact that there were some } witnesses whoh I think, the coroner \ should have called but, as already pointed out, in my opinion, had this evidence been tendered. It would } only have strengthened the conclusion subsequently arrived at by the jury. The petition was, to some extent at least, the result of an article appearing tn the Nelson Daily News, of February S, in which an alleged statement made by a nurse at the hospital to a press reporter, was given publicity. Had the nurse'3 evl. dence "In toto" been tendered to the Jury, together with the evidence of Rev. Mr. Larmonth, I am saris- fled no such misleading artlclo would ever have appeared In the press, and the public mind would not have Veen exercised to the extent of hav. Ing tv petition signed and forwarded to the department.

Why Three Not Oaled £ Question No. 1.—Why George l\ Dill, Elmer *Hartwig and Pete U O'Neill, who had driven Sergt. Stew- '.j^eXto the scene of the tragedy, were "not called as witnesses' at the ln- „**„.Anawer No. . 1.—Investigation tf'lihows that Sergt. Stewart jumped il Into Mr. Dill's car and drove to the \i scene. 1 On being Interviewed, Mr. Dili H Informs me that on entering the ■ - premises immediately after Sergt. t ■' Stewart requested him to go to town **■ and get a doctor. This Is all he I" knows of the matter, and, console quently, neither Mr. Dill nor the s>l other two occupants of the car II!; could have been of any possible >'l assistance to the jury. j.] Question No. 2.—Why did. Sergt, ;. Stewart send them to Mc- P Ewan's to telephone to the doctor, t. when there was a telephone In the 'i house where the tragedy occurred? M V^nsw^er -Nd. 2.—Sergt. Stew- \j art Vas not aware of a telephone pi being In the house until afterward. i,,. As already stated, he asked Mr. ;] iSfll to-drtve In to town and get hold \i of a doctor and did not at any time q suggest that they go to McKwan's L to telephone, 'ti Spokane Men Not Connected i> Question No. I.—Why., the 1. two gentlemen ln whose rooms Mrs. I. iUatbews and Miss Beatrice Newell |1 were alleged to be In the Hume ho- |. tel on the Saturday afternoon before m 6 o'clock,', were not called as wit- h nesses? |:l Answer No. 3.—Careful lnvestl- fi iatUm on this point shows that ^Sara. . Mathews and Miss Beatrice NeWell were in the rooms occupied ""^bi, these men at the Hume hotel on Saturday afternoon preceding the .gMme. There is no connection shown With -either of the deceased and these Meo after 4:45 p.m. in the afternoon. jgonseqbently. in my opinion, the evi- jsVnee of these men could throw no tioiwible light on the tragedy. W*ll might poseibly have satisfied ]j_r«*fFUln element of the public to jhctve a little scandal .ventilated,-but «-do .not think it Is the function of ['coroner's inquest unless there Is Kffie' connection with the crime, to \ Wl* Should Hare Brir-n Called "VQuestion No. 4.-—Why Beatrice 'JIcWpII, . who - allegedly had been U thn company of Mrs. Mathews dur. •ing th* afternoon and evening of Hur, was not-called as a wit- at the Inquest? iwef No, 4.—Weeing ,thaf Miss 411 'was the lust' witness, thi?'exception of Mre. Mathews w4s herself Shot), who had t*f*-tt the deceased Lyonnais alive at about tf:*9 p.m. and whose statements show that she' had left them able by Miss 'Younge was on the Tuesday following the Inquest. Dr. Mackenxie, the coroner, Informed me that whilst the jury waa out considering its verdict, Mr. Cameron StDenis came to him and informed him that ,Mjss Younge had stated that Mrs. Mathews had made certain statements to her. on her deathbed, which might, to Borne extent, contradict previous statements made by the deceased Mrs. Mathews. Her Evidence Confirms Here, again, I am satisfied thnt had the coroner deemed it advisable to place Miss Younge in the box, her evidence, together with the evidence ot the Rev. Mr. Larmonth, would have still further convinced the jury that the Case was a clear cut one pf "murder and suicide." (See statements of Miss Younge and Rev. Mr. Larmonth, attached). To my mind, any statements made by Mrs, Mathews immediately prior to death would have to be treated with a great deal of caution as, undoubtedly, the patient had an extremely high temperatu*^ nnd. judging from Miss Younge'a statement, drugs and stimulants were frequently administered; so that I think lt Is Bate to assume that the patient was in a semi-delirious state at the time. Mrs. Mailiew'n Mode ot Life Question No. 6.—Was Mrs. Mathews run out of town before? Answer No. 6.—Chief of Police Long informs me that Mrs. Mathews was. in hb. opinion, a very loose character and he had, therefore, cautioned her several times regarding her mode of life. The chief was unable to secure sufficient evidence to have criminal proceedings Instituted and would, consequently, not be In a position to order her out of town. Question No. 7.—Why was the rifle disturbed and also the body of the deceased Lyonnais? Moved Klflc from Dolph'e Reach ■ Answer No. 7.—Sergt. Stewart's statement on this point Is that after his arrival he noticed the head and arm of the deceased Lyonnais move. The rifle was lying between the arm and the body and the sergeant, ln view of the worn an's statement that Lyonnais shot her, deemed it advisable to take the rifle out of hia reach, fearing that Lyonnais might still be ln a condition to do harm. From the nature of the wounds, It would appear that Lyonnais must have died Instantly, but the statement that the head and arm moved, in ail probability is correct, but the movement only represented a reflex of the muscles. The sergeant gives a further reason that, as the body Was lying ln the doorway between the kitchen and the sitting room and as he wished to enter the kitchen, he was unable to do so without tramping either on the body or on the rifle. This is a further reason for having picked up the weapon. Had there been no direct evidence the sergeant would, in all probability, have exercised more care In disturbing either the body or the weapon. l'iulwtakcr Burned CTothefl Question No. 8.—Why were not the clothes of the deceased Lyonnais preserved, Instead of being burned by the undertaker? Answer No. 8.—During an interview with Mr. Matkln, who had forwarded the petition, the latter informed me that it had been reported to him on reliable authority that Chief Long had ordered the destruction of the clothes, after the inquest. If this were true, then it was quite obvious that the chief of police was deceiving me In my investigation, as he had already informed me that the .undertaker had burned the clothes without his knowledge. I had the undertaker come to my office and, in the presence of Mr. Matkln, he made the statement that not only did the chief of police not instruct him to destroy the clothing but, immediately after the inquest, had rung him up to tell him to preserve them; hl§ reply to the chief being that he was too late as the clothes had already been destroyed, being in such a mesa of blood and filth that he did not like to have them around the premises. - Powder Marks Rome comment exists owing to the fact that powder marks were found on the body of the woman, whilst apparently none appeared on the body of the deceased Lyonnais. To my mind, this condition of affairs does not reVeal anything inconsistent with the verdict brought ln by the jury. I am not an expert on these matters, but it seems feasible to me that powder marks would appear on the body ot the woman as, according to the evidence, she was fired at at close range. It may welt be that in turning the gun on himself, the deceased. Lyonnais^ waa forced to press the muzzle of .the gun haid up against his chest in order to reach the trigger and this may account fur the tact that no powder marks were found on him. U,r. McKay, Who performed the post mortem, states that the wound at the point of entry had the np- pearanc? of being seared, and, furthermore, powder marks may have appealed on the shirt, but tiiese, to a great extent, In my opinion, would pe obliterated by the_ pinnn-ive flow of blood from the 'wound, which had severed at) large arteries. '"Oraring; Jtpiiuy" Question a\o. ]».—What possible explanation can be given for the statement attributed to Mis. Mathews by Miiis lounge that "1 could clear Dunn>. but—" and who does "Dun- ny'' refer to? Answer No, I.—It Is quite appar. ent that the name "Dunny" referred to Dolphin Lyonnais, the deceased, 1 have already referred to the pus- Mr. ment should be taken In conjunction! with the other statements made to Nurse Younge and Rev. Mr. Lar- \ month, embodied In their statements. Traveler Didn't Take Her Home Question No. 10.—Was the press report of February 1, stating that one of the travelers had taken Mm., Mathews home at 11:30 p.m. investigated, In view of the previous statement in press report, that Mis. Mathews had been taken home by Lyonnais. Answer No. 10.—Neither jot the statements appearing in Tno Daily Newa of February l, are correct. Investigation Clearly shows that Mrs. Mathews went home In company with Miss Newell, In Douglas Oum- mlnB' car.1 at about 6:00 p.m. Nor is there any evidence forthcoming that Mrs. Mathews was ever again down town. It ls clearly proved that the gentlemen from Spokane, referred to. left the Hume hotel ht about 10:00 p.m., going to the boat. Ofricers of the boat will prove that neither of these men left their roonw until taken off early on Su ndny morning by Chief of Police Long. No Car Left House Question No. 11.—Was the report Investigated regarding the alleged leaving the house where the tragedy occurred of a car, between the time of' the reported shooting and th^ arrival of the police? Answer No. 11—Investigation shows that cars were seen in the Fairview district that night, but had no connection with the crime, as Independent evidence of two persons ls forthcoming proving that the house was under close observation by neighbors from the time the shooting occurred until Sergt. Stewart was seen bursting in the door, and neither car nor person left the premises during that time. , Question No. 12.—What did Mrs. Mathews say to Rev. Mr. Larmonth just prior to her death? Answer No. 12.—Please bc6 Larmonth's statement, attached. House Unguarded but Locked Question No. IS.—Is there any truth in the report that the house was left unguarded after the tragedy and previous to inquest? Answer No. 18.—The premises were In charge of the police until 8:00 during which time a careful examination of the scene was made. The chief of police himself locked the premises carefully, and on returning at 11:80 ft. m., with the coroner's jury, found the premises still carefully locked. He also state* that the premises were carefully locked until the time of rijy investigation on Wednesday, February .18. S .The evidence of one person, produced by Mr. Matkln, stating that he was tn the premises on Monday, \t\ entitled to very little credence, as when questioned In the presence of Mr. Matkln, he stated that the blood was all in the slttingroom and thaf the kitchen was in an orderly condition; whilst, as a matter of fact, the kitchen-at the time of my. jh? vestlgation was like a shambles and only a few isolated spots of blood, which had been apparently carried by the feet of some person walking through the blood in the kitchen. were In the Bittlngroom. Probably Only Three Shots Question No. 14. — Has it been clearly explained why, in view of the reported four bullet holes in the house, only three empty shells were found? Answer No. 14.—Sergeant Stewart was with me on tbe premises when Investigating and illustrated the position which Mrs. Mathews said she wns In when shot. Corresponding with,the direction the shot took, were two apparent bullet holes an inch apart,, on the window casing, three feet seven inches from the floor. Careful examination of these holes, however, discloses the tact that only one bullet had struck, going through the wall and Its course being traced to where it had struck a branch of a tree In the ftarden. I was satisfied that the second hole In the window casing was made by the steel Jacket of the bullet becoming separated in passing through the woman's abdomen and this making the other hole In the window casing. My assumption, I think, was proved correct by the fact that this steel jacket had been found by the coroner In the second hole in the window casing nt the time of the lntter's investigation. - i "Damned Business" an Error Question No. IB. — Does Nurse Youngp's statement bear out the statement in The Nelaon Daily-News attributed to Mrs. Mathews, when the latter is alleged to have told the nursp that she did not tell the police all thnt she knew, did not have to tel), and that lt was none of their damned business. - Answer No. 15.—Please again refer to Nurfft Younge'a statement on this point. In my opinion, The Nelson Daily News reporter, when reporting the matter, had.attributed a statement to Mrs. Mathews, which was. in* reality, the nurse's own expression.' -.In-this I am referring particularly to the latter part of the statement, where it is alleged that Mrs. Mathews had said thai "It was none ot their damned business." I am of the opinion that the newspaper^ in using fhe words "none of their damned business." was ouoting a comment of Miss Younge herself. Alleged Party Question No. 16.—In whnt condl tlon W'18 the room in the Hume hotel" on January 30. In which the narty had taken place, and was thlr Investigated? Answer No. W,—Investigation shows that nothing untoward hap- oened In the room on January 30, and f anything of a disorderly nature occurred, this happened on the previous Friday, when there was no connection between the deceased and the Hume hotel. Ne Need to Guard Dying Woman Question No. 17.—Was Mrs. Ma- thnws placed under arrest and. If so. whv was she left unguarded at the hospital? Answer No. 17.—T do not think the oollce had any reason whatever to Mace Mrs. Mathews under arrest, nor. Judging from the condition of her wounds, was it necessary to have her guarded. The chief of police, after MrH. Mathews' removal to the hospital, had taken the City police magistrate there but was unable to take tho patient's statement at that time, owing to her condition, and returned again later with the police magistrate at 10:80 a. m., when a statement was taken This was tendered as evidence at the inquest.. • . In my opinion, however, the poMce had sufficiently covered this angle of the situation. Question No. 18,—Do the positions of the holes In the Window casing slble condition of Mn. Mathews' both; alone in the"house? I'thlnk 'it |ml"d at the time the statement was ( corref)pond w|tfc Mri Mathewg. jrwJd havs been advisable to teva|nada and. In any case, ihU HftU-j^y to Bergeant Stewart, when she pointed out to him the position she was. standing in when shot? . .Answer No. 18.—Absolutely. - Not Spokane Man Question No, 19.—Is it true that Beatrice Newell was found in the waltlngroom of the terminus of the car line about 12:45 a. m., on the 31. in company with one of the travelers from the Hume hotel, ln whose company Mrs. Mathews and >liss. Newell had been earlier In the afternoon? Answer No. 19.—There Is no foundation for this statement. Mies Newell was found* in the waltlngroom about 2:00 a. m... on, Sunday morning, in company with a man, a resident of Nelson, and unaware of the trag)iy which had occurred during her absence. _„ W. R. DUNWOODY, Inspector, commanding "B" division, B.C., provincial police. Nelson, B.C., Feb. 20, 1926. Statements follow, made by Beatrice Newell, the girl who had lived with Mrs. Matthews: Miss Marlon Youngu, hospital nurse; and Rev. Norman Lai- nionth, who visited the dying woman. gut (meat of (MUi) Beatrice Hewell, Heaaowe, B.C. I, Beatrice Newell, make the follow Ing statement/knowing the same to be true to the beat of my knowledge and belief: , On Saturday, January 30, 1926, I was living in the ctty of Nelson. B.C., and staying .with the late (Mrs.) Agnes Jane Mathews, who resided in a house at Gordon road, Fairview, Nelson. I spent practically all the day of Janu ary 30, 1926. in Mrs. Mathews' com pany. We had our supper at hohift (Mrs. Mathews and myself) at about 6 p.m. I went alone to a dance at ths Market hall, leaving Mrs. Mathews at home. This was the las! time I saw Mrs. Mathews alive. During the afternoon of January 30 Mrs. Mathews and myself spent two hours with two men who came from Spokane, Wash., U.S. A. I had'met both these men before at a dance in the Market hall on Friday night, January 29, 1926. We went up to a room and we all drank some beer there. Mrs. Mathews, myself and the younger man went into another room, and I stayed about five minutea, and then left to have my hair cuL This all happened ia the Hume hotel. Nelson. _X>lph oame ta After tapper I Went back to the hotel after having my hair cut and they were still in the room alone. I could see that they had been drinking liquor. I was away for about one hour. We then went home to subper. Afterl Supper, at about 6:30 p.m., Adolph Lyonnais came- In. He talked to both Mrs. Mathews and myself. There was no quarreling or arguments of any sort. just general conversation. LyonnaU' manner was the same as lt always was. This was the last time I saw Adolph Lyonnais alive. Then I left Mrs. Mathews and he alone together when I went to the dance. I have known the late Mrs. Mathews since last September and Adolph Lyonnais for about two months and since I have known them I have never known them to quarrel. I am 17 years of age. .

Statement of k'«s Blarion Younge, •Telsoa, P«b. 17, 1986 Miss Marion Younge saith as foi lows: On the night of the 30th of January and morning of the 31st I was on duty at the Kootenay Lake Oeneral hospital as nurse In.charge of the second floor, remember about 1:15 a.m. on the 31 st, Mrs. Agnes J. Mathews was brought to the hospital as a patient. Directly they opened the elevator door I heard the woman scream, "He shut me."' I recognised Mrs. Marthewa, I had her previously aa a patient. She was taken to the operating room and attended to by Drs. Borden and McKay. The patient whilst on the operating table yelled that Ho shot me Ice.*' The patient was afte.word removed to ward No. 104 and wa. direct-1 Iy under my care until abou'S a.m.! She regained consciousness at 5 a.m.. but previous te this, about 3 a.m., I administered morphine. When the pn tlent opened her eyes ahe said, "I want to nee Alex, I can't go up to that hall. I haven't done anything really wrong." I was In and out of the ward about every 10 or 15 minutes after that until I went off duty Miss Helme was also in and out during that, time; . Trying to Break Off from Dolph Some time about 6 a.m. I heard Mrs. Mathews say, "I was sitting In the kitchen reading the paper when h-- shot me. Dolph was boarding wiih m<* and he has been boarding with me since before my husband left mo. You see, my husband Isn't living with me now. Dolph was so Jealous I waa trying to break away from him. I wis going back to my mother." She then muttered something about having fought, and also mentioned something about him being so Jealous. I then said, "Oh, he hadn't threatened tc shoot you," and she replied, "He hadn t threatened to shoot me, but he threatened me." The Way she spoke gave me to understand she was afraid of him. After that I left her for about iO minutes. I should have said befote this and shortly after she had spoken about Alex, she said, "I had wired to Kin for $50. I was so worried abo t that affair I wanted to buy a stove. 1 went up town in the noon hour to get the $50, and then 1 waa drinking beer ln the Hume hotel with Beatrice and a friend. I don't remember what time I went home, and that's why we quarreled, because 1 was drinking bee: and that's why he shot mc." Some time during my time of duty she said that "the bullet had gone in at my old wound and came o'Jt here," indicating with her left hand her left abdomen. Fought to Get Ona Away About 8:15 a.m. I went in with Miss Jenkins and she said "Oh, my dear, I fought like a soldier to get that gun," and I said "You didn't fight with him after you Were ahot." "On, no," she said, "It was before," and then" ahe said "Dolph shot nie and I think he shot himself, but I'm not sure, I can't remember, I was too sick." I then went off duty. 1 came on duty again at 6:30 p.m. that same evening and again took charge of Mrs. Mathews. The patient's condition appeared to me to be very poor. I gave her brandy and later on I gave her strychnine. Those stlmu* lante were glveft tinder doctors orders, t had to shake her to waken -h«r to tfcke the brandy. When she wakened ap Bhe appearpd to be quite bright She recogn'.ted me. and I asked her if she hud much pi*iu and she said not nn awful loL Bhe alept pretty eoundly again until about 7:30 p.m., When she again woke up feeling quite bright and asked for water. I gave her some m|lk and she started talking. I thln«c it was then she asked, "Ib Mack dead, too?" I aald "Who ts Mack?" and Bhe replied, "The old gray man that drive* the bus for the Hume hotel." I said "You mean Albert Kellogg?" she said, No, I don't, I mean Mac. He was there, too." ■ r - <. A few minutes afterward when she had had a drink of water, she men tloned the name' nf a prominent business man, saying, "He always ap' proved of at." Unless absolutely neees sary. much prefer not to mention* tne party's name site mentioned. 1 then said . to her, ."Well,, he wasn't ..there, was he?"-and she t said, ,"Oh, nft, I haven't seen him for a long, time-."'

Is a bun^rlow really a ntoney-savery BttlMlng bungalows for 'homes in an i ffort to save money and Increase comfort is, after all, an expensive business. In the first place, tjie bungalow requires just twice as much roof to cover the lame amount of eiwee ns does the two-story house. Roofing costs ure high, and the builder cannot afford to overlook this item when planning his home. In the second place, the bungalow eats up land an cuts down on back and front yard Space. A larger lot is necessary for its construction than in the case of the two-story house. Another Important en ii si deration is the fact that the resale value of ii bungalow Is lower than that of a regular bouse of the same building cost. The two-story structure looks like "il whole lot more for the money" and tho seller may meet difficulty when ho tries to dispose of bis bungalow. Through advertising, however, this type of house ban been popularized. It is built and bought largely lo avoid running up and down stairs. California bungalows, it must be said, have been so well worked out and adapted to the needs oT the people that thev 'ire largely free from the above disadvantages, but the ordinary suburban bungalow Is often overestimated as to its value.

I THE NELSON DAILY NEWS, WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 24, 1926^ Page Ninf BACK FROM THE GOLD RUSH PROPOSED ROAD STILL DEBATED IN THE HOUSE • * (Controlled from page l) unity in the Liberal party to hold this country together. On the other hand, confidence in the Conservative party and In the leader of that party had been expressed by the return of Conservatives as the largest group in the house. If there was one thing that was undermining the confidence of the electors of Canada, it was tho growing belief that public men were insincere. The prime minister In his manifesto at Richmond Hill had declared against group government. After the election he had immediately sought to make an alliance with one of the groups ln the house in order to carry on government. Admission of Weakness Mr. Cotnam argued that it was an admission of weakness by tho government that Premier Dunning, Instead of one of the Liberal members of the house of commons had been selected as minister of railways and canals. He wondered it' tho branch line program of the Canadian National railways, which provided for large construction in Saskatchewan was designated to assist the new minister of railways and canals ln his Regina campaign. Mr. Cotnam criticised the government for not having brought down a concrete proposal on the Hudson Bay railway. It had promised at the outset that the railway should be completed, but had not revealed the steps It would take to solve that old problem. He wondered If the government was delaying any discussion of that subject in the bouse ln case tt had to appeal in eastern Canada for the election of cabinet ministers in this part of the country. Q. R, Qeary, Conservative, Toronto South, said that lt had been shown from parliamentary authorities early In the session that a ministry must have effective control over tha proceedings of the house of commons. Whv t^en did the government not undertake to stop what it callt I "obstruction." The government simply could not "screw up the courage to aot." Turning to the railway situation, Mr. Geary stated that in the past provision hod been made by separate bill for every branch line constructed on the Canadian National system. The introduction of these separaf Mils gave all members of the house ef commons and the senate an opportunity to consider and discuss the merits or demerits of the proposed line. But a most outrageous violation had recently been perpetuated by the government. It had been suggested that a line bo constructed from the Rouyn area. An Outrageous Breach ' ''The government entered Into a Scheme which enabled it to do something by order-fneouncil, when it knew It had no right to do anything at' aH," said Mr. Geary. Why had the government not coma to the house for authorization to build thia road, as in the case of every other branch line. "Because it wanted to build the road and it knew it had no authority to do so," he declared, [ It was "an outrageous breach nf faith." It had been put through an underground method. Last year branch lines of only four miles in length had been solemnly discussed in the house, while the government sat with tongue in cheek, contemplating the Rouyn railway. Cf. B. Nicholson, Conservative, Al- goma East,, also discussed the Rouyn railway. The company formed to construct this railway, he said, might better have been called "Tho Campaign Funds Company of 1W5.'V. He criticised the action of the government in authorizing n bond issue of $5,000,000 when one of Its ministers was ready to admit that the cost of construction would bo $2,- 600.000. Hon. Charles Stewart asked that If there was ,not a provision in the contract whereby the engineers of tho C.N.St would supervise costs. Mf. Nicholson retorted that It was "trustee of the bondholders" that was authorized to exercise such ■ supervision, and there ■ was no protection for ,the national roads. Rt. Hon. Arthur Melghen Interrupted to ask If there was anything In the contract to prevent the government Issuing bonds for more than the actual costs of construction. Mr. Nicholson said there was not, and Mr. Stewart interjected "that ts a very adroit question. Provision ls made for' proper supervision of cost." Mr. Nicholson concluded! his speech at 9 o'clock.

Feb. 83.—Burled beneath an- avalanche .of saw dust, Robert Maitland met death at Han- bury's mill early this morning. FOCH 8AY8 DEMOSTHENES WA8 TOO TALKATIVE FOK SERVICE I FARIS, Feb. 28. — Marshal Foch does not share that enthusiasm for Demosthenes which led Clemenoeau to devote the leisure of his retirement to writing a book on the great Anthenlan orator. "Demosthenes does not Interest me," remarked the eminent soldier. "He talked a great deal. But that did not save his country." WASHINGTON, Keb. 21.-~Scientists assert that immense cosmic forces 93,000,000 miles away aro mobilising to bring their influence to bear upon the affairs of mnn. The sun has been mysteriously stirred up. As a result of some influence unknown to astronomers, Ihe sun apparently is entering upon th" maximum phase of its 11-year cycle of activity ahead of schedule and its incandescent atmosphere is developing more of ihe huge whirls and eddies known as sunspots. Mariners .-ire blaming tho largo sun- spots for t he t crri fie st orms that have been swam nlng ocean vessels. This the experts deny, or if there is any direct connection between tho spots and the storms, they at lenst are not aware of it. Will Increase A single spot lin,ono miles by 35,000 miles recently was photographed hy the United States naval observatory, as well as a group of spots extending 175,000 miles, or almost 22 times the diameter of the earth. Astronomers say the number ct spots will increase for a l lenst another year, possibly two, until th" maximum of activity is reached sometime between late 1928 and 11*28. What will ho their effect on earth? Will they cause groat disturbances In the weather, earthquakes, electrical storms? Several scientists have given corroborative but reassuring answers. None expresses any anxiety. Dr. William J. Humphreys of the weather bureau here says that sun- spots will have some effect upon the weather—probably slightly cooler- - when the spots reach their maximum activity. But as to an offset on day- to-day or weok-to-week weather, the bureau was skeptical. The opinion was that no general law would apply. Dr. Louis A. Bauer, director of tho terrestrial magnetlRm , laboratory of Carnegie Institution; declares that while sunspots and magnetic storms are closely associated. If fairly long periods were taken for comparison the .correspondence ls not close enough to be used an n? basis of pro- diction from day to day. Mesne More Heat "Sunspots may not be the direct causo of magnetic storms," ho adds. "It seems more proba bis that both are caused by a stirring tip of tho solar activity from a cause, probably electrical in Its nature, of whieh we really know nothing. It Is observed that In times when there are the most Straighten Up! Nicest Laxative, "Cascarets" 10c Don't stay headachy, dizzy, sick. Nothing else relieves that bilious, constipated feeling so nicely as candy-like "Cascarets." Take one or two of these pleasant tablets any time, to gently stimulate your liver and start your bowels. Then you will feel fine, your head becomes clear, stomach sweet, tongue pink, skin rosy. "Cascarets" gently cleanse, sweeten and refresh the entire system. They never gripe, overact or sicken. Directions for men, women and children on each box, any drug store, spots that there are many other signs of increased solar activity. It is this increased activity that probably causes both the sunspots and tho magnetic storms." Polar activity means heat and when there are the most spots the sun usually is hotter, asserts Dr. F. K. Fowle .Ir., of the astro-physical observatory of the Smithsonian institution. This does not mean a hotter earth, he explains, recalling the Humphrey statement. Reasons for this paradox ore long and complicated, but Dr. Fowle gives a hint as to how this might happen; "If the sun got hot enough to cause more evaporation from tho oceans there would be more cloudiness and more rain on land and cooler weather." Smithsonian officials believe that small changes In solar heat have a fairly ' close relation to ensuing weather on earth, but do not think it possible for advance weather pro- dictions. That there is a definite, although as yet not clearly defined relationship between sunspots and weather, Is thought likely hy Dr. Robert de C. Ward, professor of climatology ;u Harvard university. "The discovery of an 11-year sun- spot periodicity tn the magnetic phenomena Of tho earth,'' he says, "naturally has led to investigations of similar periods in weather. Numerous studies havo been made back even into the 17th century, but the problem is difficult and obscure he- cause weather Itself is n complex." "Predicting sunspots is something like predicting snowstorms on earth." | declares I'rof. Charles C. Wylie. astronomer at the [Tnlversity of Iowa, who adds: Come Periodica 'iy "Vou know thai in the long run' yon ; will get sunspots every 11.17 years,' just as you know ihat you will get snowstorms every 12 months. But you may miss the storms hy a month , or so and you may m,iss Ihe spots by . 1 eouiile of years." Prot s, A. Mitchell, director ofj the Leander McCormick ohservatory at the University of Virginia, sees no relationship between sunspots and weather. "When spots are varying in number as they are, it is sometimes easy to juggle figures in order to prove a connection with some other event that also varies. In 99 per cent of the cases tho connection is illusory." Weather at the earth's equator be comes warmer at times of sunspot ac tivity and copier near the poles, in the opinion of Henry Helm Clayton, meteorologist working in cooperation with Smithsonian ut Canton. Mass. The bureau of agricultural economics does not believe cooler weather conditions will be sufficient to ln fluence wheat prices. Several at tempts have been made to work out cycles of prices, but none has ap proximately coincided wllh styispot cycles.

The Musterole Co. of Canada, Ltd., Montreal Better than a mustard plaster LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23—A woman bandit, skillfully flourishing a revolver, featured several holdups. Her victim was Elmer S- Fisher. Fisher reported the woman stopped him in front of 152 North Hill street not far from, the north portal of the Hill street tunnel and only a few feet from the police garage where several officers were on duty at the timft. He was walking along unconcernedly, he said, when the woman stepped out from behind a bill board, and, whipping a revolver from under her coat, calmly commanded him to "stick up your hands." As Fisher quickly responded, the woman deftly searched all of his pockets and extracted a diamond stick pin valued at 1120 and $46 in cash. She then told him to put down his hands and walk through the tunnel on point of being summarily shot down if he turned back. Battles Two Bandits J. N. Gregory successfully battled with two bandits who held him up In his drug store as he wns about to close it at midnight. He reported he walked out from behind the prescription room, and was confronted by the two men. One of them struck him on the head with the butt of a revolver. Gregory struck back with a heavy padlock ln his hand, knocking the holdup man to the floor. The latter'e companion then struck Gregory, but the blow was a glancing one, and allowed Gregory a chance to strike out with his padlock. In & few seconds both bandits, nursing bumps on their cranium*, pocketed their revolvers and fled from the store without having taken anything. Two' bandits of a more determined character held up H. Rosen in his poultry store. Inducing Rosen to open his cash register on the pretext of obtaining change to use the ^%ii|o telephone, the bandits produced guns and forced the proprietor to hand over $200 In cash. They Wen backed nit and drove away In a large closed car. A. P.

Preventive measures to be '.ffpetive must he adopted generally. Danger /one In all infectious diseases Is amongst the children. Provincial board of health desires you to enforce provisions of Health act and Smallpox Regulations. Such instructions do not confine your efforts to only one school or any individual. Deal with conditions as you find them, and enforce vaccination In all schools, public and private, and keor the provincial hoard of health informed." School Board Wanted to Know Following a discovery of a case of smallpox in Nelson Thursday afternoon, Dr. Arthur communicated with Dr. Young, and on Friday advised principals that from Monday children s**ni«ld not bp admitted to the schools unless presenting vaccination or conscientious objection certificates, and on Saturday, through h letter toVThe Daily News, advised parents to the same eff-'ct, .Saturday night the school hoard advised the principals to take Instruc- tlons only from It, nnd wired to the superintendent of education to certain ■ If the city health officer had power to Issue such orders without reference to the board. Dr. Arthur wired Dr. Young on the same lines. The replies of both departments, received Monday, suppor>d Dr. Arthur, but recommended cooperation. Monday night, accordingly, the school board retreated from Its position, and advised the principals It ■was now the board's wish that they follow the instructions of the medical health officer. Final Contention Hut Chairman John Notman contended the health department's wires were not moant to authorize a general vaccination for all schools. Dr. Arthur agreed to wise again to clear up. this point, with the result as above.

Two at Least Not Asked Last night he pointed out that th*1 Capital Motors at least had not hern invited to tender, this heing confirmed by George Pease, th? manager, who stated he had beep informal by the fire chief that tenders would he called for, and hence had not volunteered a tender. Thomas Sargent, of the Kootenay garage, stated to tho - council that he hatl not been asked, but had gone by the item in The Daily News.

N.I., Feb, 23. — I Credit lor stopping wholesale game j "bootlegging" on Bsrnegat and Great I hays when ducks, brunt and geese ; havo been shipped by tne barrel to markets In violation of ttie iicw Jersey | game law, goes to a woman. | Miss Dorothy Arnold, deputy game I v arden of Point Pleasant, serving with- 1 out pay, has brought about the arrest, ! conviction and fining of in men charged j with selling game. [ The so-called "market hunters." men i who kill to sell, aad been infesting tin inlets iinii buys of South Jersey during the hunting seasons for years. Ward* ens from other parts of the slate ,had ] tried to get evidence on which to make I rrests. but failed. The market hunt- | ers would sell only io ; ter sons they | knew. At the'r headquarters at Long Beach, N.J., a lookout who knew the game wardens kept watch while the j market hunters were out with their guns ' nnd decoys. As noon as it warden or any , other stranger crossed the bridge from ' ■Ylanalriwkin, word was telephoned to Beach Haven, and there a signal was al once flown from a tall flagpole, j which warned the hunters of the approach of officials. For a time t.n I American flag was u«*ed, but this was I protested by citizens, and other signals i I were substituted. ' ! Finally Miss Arnold decided to try her hand at ..topping the traffic.. She I 1 applied, and wns made a deputy. Then ' she wont after the evidence. On certain days in hunting season Bench Haven dock became a wild bird market. Miss Arnold became a regular visitor on "market days." The violators came to recognize her and believed her to b« "safe." and they sold birds to her. » Then she took her evidence to Warden James H. Evernhnm of Toms River, and he made the arrests. Elmer King., charged with selling 11 ducks, admitted the violation and paid a $220 flue. Other fines ranged from $20 to $160.
