The dinner was a "New Hrunswick production" one and was liven by the Saint John board of trade to the visiting delegates to the first annual convention of the Canadian board of trade. ' UY've got to have prosperity," he said, "whether we like lt or not." Sir Henry aleo came out strong ln favor of the nationalization of the port of Seint John, under the administration of a harbor commission adding that the port belonged not to Saint John nor the maritimes, but to the whole of Canada. He nisi touch* d on the matter of rates by d>H'];iring that a happy medium which would allow the railway sys terns of Canadi. to remain solvent and at the sima time promote the growth of every aoction of the Do minion, was possible. Develop Nationally ' Speaking of tho development of <-;in;id, as a nation, Sir Henry said lhat If there was one thing that was needed more tlnn anything else, it was the dsvelopment of the national viewpoint instead of tho provincial. Transportation, continued the speaker, was not merely the moving of products, and the matter of freight rates; It should permit every part of the country to market its products in other markets with freedom. Transportation did not !nte-*?re with the development of trade but promoted It.

Im).■(■im-iii ■nt.'-' Nccticii Turning again to foreign affairs, Mr. Baldwin observed that the most important question was the admitted necessity for improvement In the present system of communication and consultation between the British government and the Dominion governments. Premier Baldwin concluded by urging cooperation in the development of Empire trade and the economic resources of the Empire to the benefit of all. Premier Monro? of Newfoundland said his message was that Newfoundland was entirely satisfied with the f.ag. "We arc perfectly satisfied that the ministers' in charge of Britain's affairs tatl.iy are fully cap- aide of dealing with them without any assistance. If their deliberations should ever bring' an Empire war, we are perfectly satisfied to come in, feeling satislfied that we are fighting for a Just ca use." Premier J. G. Coates spoke for New Zealand, the Maharajah of Burciwan for India, and Premier W. T. Cosgrave for the Irish Free State. The Old Reliable CROWN POINT HOTEL A. DERMOTT, Prep.

TRY IT chief took up the matter of freight rates, declaring that as he did so he probably "took his life In his hands", There were two greater systems at present in Canada, the Canadian Pacififc railway, privately owned, and the Canadian National, state owned. Anything that would tend to jeopardize the credit of either of these systems would Injure Canada herself. Speaking for the Canadian National, he would eay. that tha sooner the system was able to finance itself and stand on its own feet, the better off would Canada be. He would say to Canada that It could reduce, rates and pay deficits or reasonable rates could he put In force and the railways given fair chance. But the people could not do both. He believed a sane and reaaonable acale could be put ln force which would not only allow the system to maintain solvency, but at the same time permit it to help in the development of the country.

'GRAY TERROR' The Astonishing Adventures ot the Gray Phantom By HERMAN LANDON (Copyright by Street A Smith Corp. Serialised by Ledger Syndicate.) the DvkB For a while, remaining before the mlfror, the Gray Phantom practiced ! the ficlal expressions, the voice, and > the mannerisms of his enemy. Then I *e stepped out ln the bedroom. *2**lto, Swell," he said, bending ■Ifntly over the man lying on the bed and striking an attitude characteristic of the Duke. Swell fixed him with a long, incredulous stare, and then hie lips began to twitch, and in his excitement he strained violently at the bounds around his hands and feet. 'The—the Duke!" he stammered in awed tones, and then a grin of Immense relief broke out on his face. the Phantom chuckled. Swell's expression waa an eloquent tribute to Wa talent for dissimulation. "Starry to disillusion you, Sam," he paid In his natural tone, "but you »re making a mistake. The Duke is •till In prison, and there I trust he Will remain." The relieved look died out of Swell's face, followed by a blank expression of bewilderment, and then one of dazed \ comprehension. "The Phantom!" he groaned. "Right that time, Swell." The Phantom scowled. "You're a nuisance, Swell. WiBh I had obeyed my first impulse and put you out of the way, It would have served you right after what you did to me." Sammie ■whimpered, Land the Phantom ran hla hand along the •cratch Inflicted by the knife. A ■typtlc pencil which he had found on a shelf in the bathroom had itopped the trickle" of crimson, but the gash was still noticeable. "I'll decide about you later," he Seclared, turning away. He paused ,fter a few steps, as If something had suddenly occurred to him. "You Sid a rather good job putting the [gloo ln order," he told the man to the bed. "Did you carry out Mies Winton's other Instructions, iso?" "You mean about watching the lug up the river ? I attended to hat. 'Big Bill' Yost dropped in on me at the hotel thia morning, and told him to talce the Job." "You ' consider him a capable man ?" 'One of the best ln our crowd." H*m! Big Bin Yost, whoever he Is, Will have ample time to admire the scenery up that way. I suppose he will take a select company of nature lovers wlh him. By the way. Miss Winton is probably wonderlnjg flrhy she hasn't heard from you. She would doubtless like to know that you have carried out her instructions." He hesitated, then took Sammie in his arms, being careful not to disarrange hla own clothing, and carried Wm Into the other room. He had already seen a telephone on a stand In a corner beside the desk- Now he dropped Swell into the chair and placed the instrument before him." 'Just a test," he explained. "I Want to see If you can make yourself sufficiently useful to warrant me in (paring your life. I want you to call jp Miss Winton, tell her how you lave carried out her orders, and ask ler If she hae any further faistruc- :lons. Not an unnecessary word. Jnderstand." By way of emphasis the Phantom .ook the knife from the desk drawer ind held it in close proximity to Jwell's jugular vein. I—I get you!" gulped Swell. That won't do! You must get a trip on yourself and apeak naturally, not as If you are having a tooth BXtracted. Remember that nothing is going to happen to you. for the present at least, If you do as I say. It you are tempted to try any tricks, Ittat bear In mind that I am standing behind you with the knife. Ready?" Swell, knowing ht- was m no im- nedlate danger, calmed down a little. Since Swell's hands were incapaci- :tted, the Phantom held the receiver to his ear, meanwhile taking ialns to Impress upon him that the point of the knife was not far away. [Jetting his connection after a brief iralt, Swell managed to speak In a Fairly steady voice, and he was careful not to overstep the boundaries laid down by the Phantom. "What did Miss Winton say?" M- BUired the Phantom when the conversation was finished. Swell drew a long breath. Beads of moisture stood out on his forehedd. "She says I'm to stay here till further orders, She expects"—Swell gave i short hoarse laugh—"that the Duke's going to get out of stir some ime before morning. The Phantom considered for a moment. "Thai makes It all the bet- " he murmured. I think she told you last night, Swell, that she has unbounded faith n the Gray Phantom's ability to per- orm difficult tasks. Unless I am nlstaken she ventured the opinion hat the prison officials would not llscover the (Duke's absence until • had been gone several hours." SWell, turning in the chair, gave llm a dased, uncomprehending look. "That would be my definition of a (lean getaway," the Phantom de clared, and then he carried his prisoner back to the bathroom. "You acquitted yourself Creditably this time." he said approvingly, glancing at his watch, "There will be another and harder test later After that we shall see. It Is nearly 7 o'clock. Any food on the premises?" Swell nudged his elbow In the direction of the olOset door. Inside the Phantom found a choice and abundant supply of cold meats and relishes. He filled two plates and entered the den where Culllgore, having long since recovered from the effects of the blow, was engaged in fruitless efforts to release his hands and feet. He desisted suddenly and stared at the figure who entered. "Holy blueflshr" he exclaimed thickly. "The Duke!" "Wrong, Culllgore," said the Phantom In his natural voice. "I must apologize for the smash I gave you on the Jaw. Really, though, It was your own fault. I gave you fair Warning." He set the plates down on the smnll table. Culllgore's stupefaction Pleased him; It was added proof that he was currying hs assumed role .successfully. "What—what's the Idea?" asked the lieutenant shakily. "Going to a masquerade?" "You can call It that. Hungry?" Culllgore growled beneath his breath. "What a bear you are, Culllgore! You will feel better after a bite. Tell you what I'll do. Give me your word that you won't take advantage of your temporary freedom, and I'll release your hands while you partake of a little sustenance." The lieutenant glanced desirlngly at the food. "I'm starved," he muttered plaintively. "You haves my word." "And I know It's as good as my own," said the Phantom, releasing the lieutenant's hands. Then he filled two glasses from the decanter on the . table. "Let's begin by drinking the Duke's health in his own liquor." Culligore drank and smacked his lips, then attacked the food with avidity. The Phantom followed his example. "You don't accept my proposition," he said genially, "but it stands Just the same. Before the night is over I shall make you a present of the ringleaders of the Duke's organization. The entire credit for the achievement will go to you. As you know, I don't care for that sort of thing. I trust tomorrow afternoon's papers will carry a full and florid description of how a certain hardworking lieutenant broke up the Duke's gang and captured the murderer of Ward and Mrs. Slade." Culligore looked as though he felt acutely embarrassed, but he tried to mask his confusion with, a feeble show of bluster. "I've got a hunch," he muttered, "that If I hadn't given my word to keep still, I could reach out my hand right this moment and nab the murderer." "Your hunches die hard," suid the Phantom with a laugh. "You will see the error of your ways before morning. Pipe or cigarette?" The lieutenant expressed an Inclination in favor of one of the Duke's handsome briars. "Take your time," said the Phantom affably. "I can't go ahead with the rest of my plan for a while yet, ao we might just as well have a friendly chat before I put the cords back on your wrhd-s. By the way, I wonder if you will give me one more promise? It would spare me the necessity of gagging you." "Shoot." "I should like to leave the door open a crack so that you can hear the murderer's confession." "The what?" "I expect the murderer to talk quite frankly about his crimes. You may be interested in hearing what he has to say. You must give me your promise, however, that you will keep your mouth closed, no matter what you hear." Culligore considered while he sucked hard on his pipe. "I see," he muttered complainlngly. 'You aren t satisfied with tying my hands and feet You want to tie my tongue, too But all right—go ahead and make a thorough Job of it. I. won't make a sound." ' They chatted a while longer, and then the Phantom tied the lieutenant's hands again and, after extinguishing the light, went out in the other room, leaving the door open a fraction of an inch. He sat down at the deBk and began rumaging at the drawers, glancing at old letters and memoranda, garnering struy odds and ends of Information that would enable him to play his role to better advantage. From time to time he glanced at his watch—or, rather, the Duke's, for he had found It among the other articles of Jewelry in the wall safe. It was a superb example of the watchmaker's art, and the massive geld chain, with a diamond- studded charm, wae scarcely less distinctive.

OCTOBER 1!Q, 182g 'Keep Off the Grass/ or, a Play Center Some cities have such a conception of thtfr duty to the children as finds expression in the warning, "Keep Off the Grass." Prohibition, restriction, is ""'their method of controlling old and young. The children are turned into the street. , Enlightened communities have a conception of their duty In that regard that finds expression in public playgrounds, public sw.nunlng places, and similar facilities. Accommodation for the young generation to grow in stature—In body and mind, in muscle and character— is their reaction to the boy and girl question. They do not believe In the streot as a jilayground and aa a school for character. If provision for summer play is wise, is provision for winter play in a different category? Is play to have all the emphasis in summer, and work and study be alone considered for the winter? As a matter of fact, the tim.; will come when the community that has not a recognized play centtr for the hoys and girls for the winter season will be considered hopelessly out-of- date. In (he case of Nelaon, the Armory, about.to become vacant, is a standing suggestion for a first-class winter gymnasium and game center, without more expense than the maintenance. A few months' maintenance ought not to be beyond tho community's purse. This idea should receive serious consideration. Queen Marie the Headliner Now Not since the Prince of Wales via- ItuJ the United States on his holidays two or three years ago have th;' good democrats on the other side of the line felt such thrills as are now tingling them as they welcome Marie, Queen of Rumania, From her embarkation from Europe, the dainty little lady with the beautiful and sad face has bailed in the glare of publicity. No doubt star reporters have been assigned to the Job of keeping her in sight wherever she goes, with "money no object." Sob sisters will inveigle stories from htr suite. For • front pages she will have no competition. Monster crowds will dog her. Royalty has no peer as a drawing card In the land so especially and avowedly one ot democratic ideas. Leader of Gang Slain Week Ago; His Lieutenant Is Now Victim BOSTON, Oct. 19.—Open gang warfare with further killings was predicted by the police Monday night as a result of another street shooting In Boston's north end today. Michael Dl Pietro, chief lieutenant of Charles (Big Brooklyn) Gaglione, who was slain a week ago, was* today's ylctim. He was shot down from ambush as he left the house of his friend, whose funeral will be held tomorrow. Dl Pietro walked Into a raking crossfire of revolver bullets before he had gone 10 paces from the door. One weapon barked from a window across the way and the second, |n the hands of a gunman, a few doors behind him, spat three bullets Into f->l Pletro's back. As the man dropped to the pavement, the second gunman tossed his weapon beside the body and sprinted away, bowling over two boys ln his escape.

Nelson will have several outdoor rinks for the tinier kiddles who are taking their first skids on the steel blades. There are adequate grounds throughout the city for open air rinks. Now is the time to get busy, not next January or February.' What of the Gyro park on the bluff? If it could be suitably arranged this spot, which pleased so many with their bathing suits all summer, could be made Into a nice winter playground for the children. What better spot for an open air rink could be found than a nice sheet of Ice over the swimming pool? There are also adequate places where toboggan slides could be constructed at little expense.

To add further interest to the game the United States lawn tennis organisation haa had films made of the preat players in action, and these are shown over the country. The latest film !t» that of Rene Lacoste of France, who repeated H. L. Doherty's feat In being the only foreigner to win the American title In 23 years.

TITLE MIT English Critic Says Should Be Longer Bouts; Dempsey Squarely Beaten LONDON, Oct. 19.—Ten-round ring battles for championships are unsatisfactory, but, fortunately for the .sport, that objection has little point so far ns the recent content for the world's mavywelght- title between Jack Dempsey^tar* *)0«r,fe Tunney. This is the opinion expressed by the boxing correspondent of the London Times. "There have been some" plausible enough explanations of a staggering, complete def'ut says the writer, "but they all simmer down to this; that Dempsey's punishing »tyl» of fighting, overwhelming In Its intensity white he was actively engaged as a fighter not -merely a performer training to keep himself outwardly fit—failed hopelessly against a younger man of the true championship class.and spirit, who could* box and fight, whose left stops were well-timed punches, not pushes; whose right could hurt, whose mind could concentrate as furiously aa Dempsey's once could do and so creafca his own atmosphere. Tunney Was Good "No wonder, then, that the Dempsey so many English sportsmen discovered to be the right sor^of man for bis fighting life readHy hdmltted at the end of 10 rounds, not one of which he had won, that there was a new and worthy champion. Although Dempsey was not the old Dempsey, his failure must not all be attributed to worry and lack of training und the difference Of age— no more than three yeart. Tutmey's defence was brilliantly safe, but it never became merely passive. His countering was cool and Severe— counterfighting well done, after the manner of Peter Jackson and Jack Johnson, l» the most severe of all. "The defeat of the champion boxer of his day has »,lways been an en thralling event In the sporting .world, and, If one could spy and eavesdrop sufficiently, there is little doubt that millions of unlikely and tiuiwartil'y indifferent people outside that world would be discovered reading or discussing the downfall of the great oms of the prise ring. There n something so intensely personal and poignant in the battering to defeat of the man whose physique und fists and fighting spirit had stood for invincibility that even those who shrink from erode violence in any form fall to wondering how it came about—and ao to read, and finally, no doubt, to deplore.

Goldsworthy • Mr. Mulholland's answer wit that jthree years ago he spent 12700 in ^Cold cash to send a man to England. incidental to which he collected de- ; tailed data on nine properties one of . which was the Ottawa. When Mr. -. Bertrandais visited the chamber he r looked over many ore samples ' and iwas attracted by some very high-grade ; ones from the Ottawa. He told the -Portland man that the Ottawa was un- fdar bond, but that an adjoining property, the Anna, was very promising, -and was on the market. He agreed to .go with Mr. Bertrandais to tha owner "and help him effect a deal, telling Jilm -no commission would be charged him -It it went through. He turned over to "iblm all hla own personal information free. One month ago the deal was ■made and a cash payment made. Asked by I. G. Nelson if he bad aver rendered any assistance to any of the : eompfainsnts Mr. Holland declared *»d done everything In bis power to assist any of them who came to the chamber for help. In this connection he said Mr. Moore himself had came In, and they went through th* files of inquiries together, and then he spent five Hours typing iettters for Mr. Moore to a big man in San Francisco. George Horsted confirmed this. Ira Wam Deal Wat lfan»|1aanVg Mr. Moore produced a clipping from Tbe Dally New* of a deal ** the Iva Fern, which he handed to Mr. Lang- lay to show how Mr. Mulholland lookad after himself. Before Mr. Langley could aak Mr. Mulholland to answer Roy Hunter jumped up to state that Percy Hough- ton brought hi the investor la question, and put through ,the deal himself. To this Mr. Widdowson added lhat Mr. Houghton brought Mr. Place In specifically to deal on the Aspen property. They bad a conference in hla assay office, and among properties mentioned were the Iva Fern and some adjoining properties. He himself looked up the government reports for them, and subsequently a deal was made with Mr. Houghton. "Mr. Plate got options on quite a aumner of properties, some through the chamber of mines, some through Mr Houghton and some through myself," said Mr. Widdowson, who said the district should be congratulated on auch nn outfit coming ln. Mr Mulholland added that payments were made to fh* Royal bank, to turn aver to Mr. Houghton. The third complainant present, Mr. Richards asked by Mr. Langley what his complaint waa, said he had nothing against either the chamber or Mr. Mulholland, but signed the petition under the impression It waa for a beer plebiscite. "I had beer in sight, and waa after it," he explained, to the merriment of the crowd, waa long since had been broadly smiling. *3osun" added that In Mr. Mulholland's place he would sell his own properties first, "damn- quick," and therefore he favored having a secretary who was not personally interested in properties. Mgnsd fc> Kelp Tvism&m Mr. McDaniel, the last signer available declared he had "no great hick." "I signed it because one man wanted to get out and the other wanted to get him ont," he explained stating that Mr. Mulholland had asked hlra if he canld suggest eemeone to take the Job over. Directly afterward he ran into Mr. Moore with the petition, and signed it, thus as he supposed, doing a good turn for both men. (Roars of laughter.) Mr. Moore rose and charged Mr McDaniel with hiding something, reminding him of his ore that he had complained about. The veteran prospector explained that was a very minor matter. He and Mr. Dill had gone up to the Mountain Chief and brought down 43 pounds of ore for the mining exhibit. Later they went to the chamber to get a sample of it, but could not find it, though Mr. Horstead helped them search the place, Including the cellar. Mr. Mulholland, on nis return found it for them. He admitted he had not read the petition. Laiudey Sees Notlring Serious Mr. Langley at this Btage summed up his impressions to date, stating that so far, after hearing both sides, he could not see that any evidence had been submitted, of a serious nature. He could not see anything wrong In taking maps out of the office to show a man, and if a man gave his time free to the chamber, he could not see that he ought to be penalized and not allowed to deal with his own property, provided always that he did not sidetrack others, of which latter no proof had been given. At this stage, Chairman Lelth threw the meeting open for remarks. The Clique Charge Roy Hunter det-iared that the use of the word "clique" in the petition was an unjustified reflection and attack on the integrity of the chamber's executive. He waa not satisfied with the explanations of the complainants, and demanded that they Justify that allegation. "I for one didn't know there was any association connected with fc*he chamber," declared Mr. Sheran. "I thoufht It waa under Uie govern-1 ment." HoUp Pressed by Mr. Hunter to then statt what he meant by signing it, Mr. Sheran as hotly retorted that he hadn't read it- and that he did not Imply any clique. Mr. Hunter said he had spent much time and hundreds of dollars of his own money in connection With th© chamber, and he was entitled to an eanswer. He pointedly asked Mr. Moore if he had any evidence of a clique. H. G. Joy—Those who do the work in any organization always find themselvea called a clique. . The charges having fallen down, Mr. WWdowaion drew attention to some of the chamber's jtonitlve accomplish meats. Instancing the late mining convention, the grpeatert ot its kind ever held in the Kootenay, which brought mining men and visitors from all directions, particularly from over the line, with the direct consequence of mining deicls. Mr. Sheran observed ttiat no one man had dune more than he had toward the mining convention. ,Mr. Nelson .pointed out that everything regarding tha convention was bandied openly, and that the financial statement, had been given publicity. Nothing respecting the chamber's operations had -ever been held back. Chairman Lelth urged the meeting to {ake some positive action to express its views. . Resolution OoHivtoatlH Brief • laudatory speeches were made by C. C. Starr a.nd Dr. E. C. Arthur, and they were deputed tu draft a resolution, whic h was adopted as follows: "Having listened to all the discussion that has taken place this evening, both for and against the Chamber of Mines of Eastern British Columbia, we believe thai the affair* of this institution are deserving of public commendation for having kept the intltutlon open under very adverse circumstances. We also think that the affairs of the Institution have been administered as well as i.s possible without greatly increased financial support." While waiting for the motion t*> ■be drafted, "Bosun" Richards delivered a pointed lecture on "the muz- zlers," also calling those present "chechaquos," who had never cut s trail or "done" 10 feet of ground. However, when he saw Mr. Moore and everyone else apparently voting for the motion, he joined the majority, George Matthews, ;i prospector, after ascertaining the voting was not confined to meml>ers of tht chamber of mines, also associated himself with fhe favorable vote. Mr. Sheran alone voted in the negative, explaining that he was not opposed to the ehamber of mines, but to the "way it was run."

Usually lt takes time bnt invariably they come to this pjan In some form or other. , When Surplus production becomes too large, asfl prices fall dangerously near to this cost of production, either a dictator or a t oluntary organisation is inoperative. ., In coffee and rubber tho Brasillan and the British governments have assumed the powers of a dictator; ln the raisin Industry, the solution has come through voluntary cooperation. The sugar Industry In Cuba Is now.seeking relief through governmental intervention, while the cotton growers ef the south are disposed to try some kind of a voluntary organization. Whlch- sysr method is used, the program is ^virtually the same. After Hernial Frier -They all work for regulation of production, and sane marketing of the surplus' and current output. Presumably, the objective is a market price that' will yield a satisfactory margin Of profit to the producer generally a margin equivalent tn prewar or normal years. Should these organisations entertain an idea of profiting abnormally at the expense of the consumer, jj they run squarely Into tho monopolistic field and defeat their own purpose. The rubber industry is the gKrlng example. For tbe purpose set forth in the [announcement of Its formation. Copper Exporters, Inc., is engaged on a laudable task. Copper is one of the few commodities selling Below the prewar average. In fact, the copper producers ha\e almost the same complaints to make that the farmers have. They need at least the prewar level of prices to show satisfactory profits after all charges, and they demand some regulation over unhealthy speculation In the red metal. Anything In the way of price stabilisation accomplished will redound to the benefit of the southwest. Arliona Is' the leading state in the production of copper and copper is the backbone of Arliona. Under a reciprocal agreement between the Arizona Industrial' congress and the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, the copper Industry in Arizona looks to Los' Angelas as the market in which to buy Its supplies. The more prosperous the Arl- aona miners are, the more prosperous fLos Angeles Is. With copper at 15c a pound, the majority of mines can report a fair profit. If Anaconda copper should work Its mines at the annual capacity of 300,000,000 pounds, the additional cent a pound would add 11 a share yearly to the earnings on the outstanding stock. The red metal has sold higher than 15c in abnormal .years, reaching 29.7c fn 1917, but 15c is a fair figure. The details of the copper plan were BOt revealed ln the announcement, hrlth the exception that, as far as ■possible, tiie organization will sell di- to -foretell- consumers, eliminating (the middlemen. This is one step in tne program to prevent speculation In :b* metal. Another strong feature of As plan is the fact that the important South American low-cost producers Ire included. Apparently, however the Bouth African companies now enor- gomethlng along this line was tried bnce before by the copper Industry, and failed, p-lssenslon Is understood ko have been the principal , trouble, Musing the dissolution of the organization. This time the scope of the plan peeing more ambitious and there is pvery hope of success.

BERLIN, Oct. lt>.—The economic manifesto signed by leading financiers of Europe and the Vnltad States and made public in various countries today, waa conceived In London in July, German press and banking circles assert by Montague Norman, governor of the Bank of England. Mr. Norman presented it to Dr. H. Jalam Schadt, president nf the Reischt bank, Andrew W. Mellon, United States secretary of the treasury, in the course of their vacation trips ln Prance and Holland and according to the same authority, they approved It with slight modifications. Mr. Mellon, it is said, submitted a copy to President Coolidge and discussed the manifesto in London with Winston Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer, who approved it. It waB then easy to obtain signatures. The reason that the French signs with reservations is believed to have been that they realised the franc must be established before trade affairs were discussed. The German commentators assert that England's initiative can be explained because it is virtually a free trade union. The text of the manifesto In part follows: "We desire, as business men, to draw attention to certain grave and disquieting conditions which in our Judgment are retarding the return to prosperity., Hurts to Trade "It is difficult to view without dismay the extent to which tariff barriers, speeial licences and prohibitions since the' war have been allowed to Interfere with International trade. "Tho breakup of great political units ln Europe dealt a heavy blow to international trade. "Old markets disappeared. Racial animosities were permitted to divide communities whose interests were inseparably connected. Production Down "To mark and defend these new frontiers In Europe, licences, tariffs and prohibitions were imposed with results which experience shows already to have been unfortunate for all concerned. One state lost Its supplies of cheap food, another Its supplies of cheap manufactures. Industries suffered for want of coal, factories for want of raw materials. Behind the customs barriers new local Industries were started with no real economic foundation which could be kept alive in the face of competition by raising the barriers pier stUl higher. "Production as a whole has been diminished. Credit has contracted and currencies have depreciated. "There can b£ no recovery In Europe until politicians in all territories, old and new, realise that trade is not war but a process of exchange, that in time of peace our neighbors arc our customers and that their prosperity Is a condition of our own well being. If we check their dealings their power to pay (heir debts diminishes and their power to purchase our goods i« re ATTEMPT TO CHBE FINANCIAL ILLS Bankers and Industrialist* Present Manifesto; Will Be Published Today LONDON, Oct. 19.—Another at* tempt to find a cure for the financial and Industrial difficulties of Europe was launched today. In the form of a manifesto signed by A long list of bankers and industrialists on International not*. Every country 1 a Euro pe is re- presented among tbe signatories as well as *ha United States through a half dozen well known financiers, A certain air of mystery surrounds the genesis of the document. No one seems to know just where lt originated although common belief Is that It originated ln Berlin. The fact that the manifesto was Issued to the London press through a well known advertising agency is regarded as unusual. Whether the creation of a trust will be one of the first efforts of passing from words to deeds on the part of the great banker signatories has still to be seem, but all attempts to Induce these bankers to talk on the subject have failed. Publication of the manifesto has been set for tomorrow.

RETAIL **I haven't much sympathy with men In mining transactions who do the baby act. They ahoulA quit the gam*.," waa the caustic comment of Mr. Justice W, A, Macdonald, yesterday afternoon, In making known his decision to allow adjournment of the Y. H, Sanderson-Major R. K. Waite cheek case only on very stringent conditions, Major Waite having failed to be present at the trial, hia defence being advanced In hla absence by his counsel, William Brown. His lordship regarded a prima facie mae aB made out in the evidence of Mr. Sanderson of Portland, otherwise "Sandy, the camera man," and held that the defendant waa really not ^entitled to a further chance to give his defence. He gave Mr, Brown the choice of two alternatives— either to accept an off^r of an adjournment to Noveimber 5, provided in the meantime the defendant paid A. Donaghy, Mr. Sanderson's counsel, $303.75 expense money for the extro hearing by October 28, or to have an immediate Judgment given for tne plaintiff. Mr. Brown accepted ihe adjournment on the terms outlined. The plaintiff sued on a check tor $2750 given him by Major Waite, and marked to indicate It was for the payee's Interest in the Porcupine mine, or rather for a balance ot $1352.50 still ln issue after Judge J. A. Forln had allowed the main part of the claim ln a supreme court chambers hearing. Brawn Atkl Adjournment At the opening of the case Mr. Brown asked for an ailjmirnm.'nt, staling that he had advised Major Waite of the date of the trial, hut he was still tn tho States, transacting some business. He said the defence was based on he fact that the Portland men camp Into this country to invest in one mine, hut they transferred their interest to another. Three of them, with Mijor Waite, were to finance tbe mln.-\ hut the deal fell through. Major Waite paid $1300 of the money back through ,;>?tyment into court. He claimed theiv was no mare to be paid. His lordship took the attitude that Major Wtaile ignored the action brought «by Mr. Sanderson, though knowing of the trial, choosing between his business there and the action here. Mr. Donaghy stated tho claim of the defence was in direct contradiction of what was atated on the check. Mr. Brown asserted the l'oitlan'1 men came here to invest in the Silver Reef nnd then shifted their attention the Porcupine mine. . Camera Man on Stand "You may as well prove your case." said his lordship to Mr. Donaghy. Mr. Sanderson todk the stand and testified to siting Major Waite sign the check. It was considered full payment of his own and Barge Leon* ard'a Interest in the Porcupine mine which he was buying hack from them The check was dishonored at the bank. His lordship asked Mr. Brown if he still pressed for an adjournment. On receiving an affirmative answer, he said he would read what h-1 had written, and Mt. Brown could then elect whether he would take it. Says Prima Facie Case His summary stated that the action waa on a check for $2750, given to the plaintiff, as waa shown on. Its face. In a chambers application before a Judge, Judgment was given as to part of the claim, and leave was given the plaintiff to sue for the balance, $1352.50. A prima facie case had been made out by the plaintiff, and the onus of proof was on the defendant, who, however, though knowing of the trial and Its date, believed his interests in the east were more important than appearance at the trial. Until the assizes optned, the defendant's counsel did not ask for the adjournment. His lordfthlp then outlined the terms on which Mr. Brown could have th* adjournment. In case the expense money should not b© paid to the plaintiff's counsel by October 26 as fixed, then without further motion Judgment would be entered for the plaintiff for the balance claimed, with costs. Mr. Brown's acceptance of the terms made the adjournment operative. Under cross-examination, Mr. Sanderson said there were four men interested in the mine. They were Barge Leonard, Neil Bartrandals, Major Waite and himself. Each had a quarter interest, but it was ofily under a verbal agreement. He (Sanderson) said he came up here to take moving pictures for Mr. Waite, who was to pay him either in cash or to give him an, interest ln a mining property. He gave h'm an Interest in the Silver Reef mine. Bought Into Porcupine The Portland men picked up the Porcupine property themsel.vea. "Mr. Waite phoned you from Portland to get a lease and bond on the Porcupine at any price." the witness told Mr. Brown. It was procured In Mr. Waltes' name, but there was a verbal understanding that each of the four pien was to have a quarter interest Mr. Sanderson, Mr. Leonard and Mr. Bartrandals were, to raise fundi to operate the mine. Mr. Sanderson understood a company was to *be formed. Under the terms of the lease nothing was to be done for either SO or 60 days; he was not sure which. Major Wajto made the first payment. Mr. Sanderson said be made the second payment. It was made to Major Waite t>y telegraph. Mr, Donaghy produced the receipt of the telegraph company ln Portland. He received $1400 from Major Wait*. Major Waite never paid my ARE OBTAINED: Mrs. DeKatz Petition Must Be Amended to Secure Jurisdiction FURTHER HEARING IS SET FOR COAST Tod of Trail Gets Decree Wife Has Joined Another Three divorce suits disposed of in a forenoon session of lows than two hours, was the record of the Nelson n seizes yesterday. Mr. .1 list ice W. A. Macdonald granted absolute divorce*, to Mrs. Henrietta StDenis of Nelson and Alexander McOechaen Tod of Trail, but ruled that the suit of Mrs. Amy DeKatz must temporarily fail owing to want of jurisdiction. The DeKatz case will come up again at Vancouver. None of the three cases was contested, Rcccn t Separat ion In the suit of Mra StDenis, it was brought out that she and her husband D. StDenis, executed a separation agreement in August, by which she obtained use of bouse, and a sum of $1000, Her counsel, A. Donaghy, placed John Grafton, proprietor of the Orwell hotel, Bossland, on the' stand, to testify to an Incident there, September 25, last, involving the respondent, and a corespondent, whose identity was not disclosed. After questioning the petitioner closely as to why she acted at this particular time, his lordship granted the decree. 'Idling With Aiiortirr Man Two witnesses testified in the Tod suit, which was conducted by H. W. Mclnnea of Trail, Mr. Tod, who is a smelterman, testified that shortly after he had brought to the notice of his wife, Jeannle. that there were stories about her and their roomer, Henry Lindblad, who had heen taken in when out of work, she left home, ostensibly for Vancouver, and (Jid not return. Provincial Constable W. H. Laird of New Denver, testified to a conversation he had with Mrs. Tod while she was living with Lindblad as his wife at Sandon, ln which she volunteered a statement of her relations. Last week she was still living at Lindblad's cabin. In this case, his lordship accompanied the order for an absolute decree with an order for costs against Lindblad, and ruled that the two children should stay, in their father's custody, but that the mother should have the right to be heard later on a claim should she make it. Mrs. DeKatz, who testified to her marriage to Alphonse DeKatz, pole merchant, at St. Saviour's church, Nelson. In July, 1322, was the only witness ln her case, her counsel being E. G. Matthew. IVKa i/ nnd1 Stienographer Her husband was very cold to her the last six months he was in N'elson, she testified, and did not want her to accompany him down ttiwn, but when she would slip down and keep him in sight she would see him and his stenographer, Miss Grace West, together. She disclosed that on various occasions she went to his office, to find the door locked, and one of these times nhe persisted in knocking, and when it was eventually opened MY. DeKatz and the stenographer were both there. The circumstance on which she relied for her divorce was a repetition of this incident, with the further fact that, after knocking several times, she looked -through the keyhole, and observed details which led her, on her admission to the foom, to accuse the pair of Im proper conduct, which, she said, they made no effort to deny. On the first relating of this Incident, Mr., Justice Macdonald was not satisfied with her account aa constituting proof of her claim, and argued that there should be no difficulty In getting indisputable proof it the defendant and corespondent were actually living outside the law. In telling the story again, however, she gave particulars of the accusation she made to them, in the actual language used, which put the Incident in a different Ught. She testified to -seeing the pair together when she was at the late Spokane fair, asserting they "acted very loving toward each other." Her counsel said proof of their relations in Spokane would be difficult to secure, as Miss West''was living with relatives, while continuing to act as the respondent's stenographer. His lordship held that the statement in the petition that the respondent was domiciled In Spokane took the case out of his jurisdiction, but granted an adjournment to the afternoon to hear Mr. .Matthew argue for an order to amend the petition in that respect. Grants Hearing for Vancouver In tne afternoon Mr. Matthew placed Mrs. DeKatz on the stand again, to show that Mr. DeKatz had given her to understand he first came to British Columbia in 1900, while after their marriage he became a naturalized Canadian. Mr. Justice Macdonald held that these facts justified a presumption that he had thoroughly made up his mind to be a British subject, in which case jurisdiction might be arguable. He adjourned the case to November 17, at Vancouver, to hear an argument on the application to amend the petition, the defendant to be served again, and Included ln the order permission for Mrs. DeKatz' testimony given here to be used at Vancouver without the necessity for her going there to testify.

Queen Marie Passes Up Contemplated Trip to the Golden State WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—California has 'been excluded from the itinerary »f Queen Maria- of Rumania, as revised tonight, although she desired to visit that .state. The rtaaon for passing up of the golden state waa not made known, hut il is understood to have resulted (rom a disagreement over rates between the railroads and those In 'harge of the trip.

C, also will be visited. expenses unless 1 gave him the money tirst," said Mr. Sanderton. A deal to finance the Porcupine through Mr. Pomeroy of Portland and his associates fell through. The witness and his associates got $11,000 and brought it here, but they took It back again. There were too many bills against the Porcupine property, he said. Major Waite put men to work « her, ho should not have done so the witness stated. m A Blind Horse He, bought a blind horse. "How did you know it was a blind horse?" asked Mr. Brown. "Well, it had to be led," said Mr. Sanderson. Major Waite had the blind horse and two ipsn haul two mattresses down a hill. "I could have packed tht m down on my back, stated Sanderson. When Mr. Pomeroy dropped out «id Mr. Sanderson, "we arranged to finance the project through other sources. But we refused to gJ ahead." Check Given to Buy Him Out I told Major Walt© we couid not do business with him," said Mr. Sanderson. "I told him he was a crook." He offered to buy the Major out, but the latter wanted $35,000 for his interest. Then Mr. Sanderson offered to sell out to Major Waite, saying he would accept |3000 though he and Mr. Leonard had invested $8700 to $4000. Major Waite said ho would give $2750 for Mr. Sanderson's share, and the offer was taken ,up. "I did not threaten to start proceedings to queer the deal," stated Mr. Sanderson "Did I not ask you for a statement at a conference we had in Mr. Donaghy's office?" asked Mr. Brown. "At that time I was offered UOOO as a settlement of my claims," said Mr. Sanderson, "but through Mr. Donaghy I refused it." Mr. Justice Macdonald said anything that happened subsequent to the ch eck being given was of no moment. If a man could close a deal one day, and change the terms the next, there would be no finality in business transaction*. Fell for Sales Talk His lordship asked Mr. Sanderson how long he had been associated with Mr. Waite before the first deal was put through. 'About two months," Mr. Sanderson stated. "I met him in my store in Portland. He gave me a good sales talk and I fell for it."
