The plan I have; Indorsed does not contemplate any Um-> itatlon as to the beginning or the j completion of this tentative program. | But lt does contemplate the building of the ships as,fast as possible." Based on present construction costs,] It has been estimated that the navy program which Secretary Wilbur has laid before congress would cost about j $740,000,000.

VICTORIA, Jan. 30.—Abolition of the absentee vote and Its replacement with advanced polls; reduction of the procurage on loans to farmers from 3 */■_ per cent to IH; and the wiping out of the unearned Increment tax which was passed last year to come into operation on April 1 next were Iteqps of Conservative policy announced by B. H, Pooley, opposition leader Monday ln the legislature. In opening hla attack on the government Mr. Pooley took J. A. McDonald, Nelson member, to task for having In hts maiden speech referred to the "captious criticism" of the opposition. He felt, however, tbat Mr, McDonald might not be to blame, 'as he believed that his speech was widMsii ieq him. by the altorifry-general, the "medicine man of Otnlneea." HIGH INTEREST RATE He was surprised, said the opposition Wader to hear the government member for Port George say that lt did not matter what procurage farmers paid for money they loaned. He thought it did matter as Colonel Fred Lister had pointed out that the farmers were charged 3 V. per cent more for money than the government paid tor lt, especially when the Lands Settlement act specifically stated that the procurage should not be more than l'/a Per cent. He would suggest that the government hang out the three golden balls that was the sign of the extortionate. Jewish money lenders of London. CHEAP MONEY "We wtll give the farmers cheap, money, and will not charge them any 3'/a per cent," he declared. Such a charge was typical df the encouragement that was being given to settlers and was ln keeping with the 25c an hour paid to forest fire-fighters. j In referring to the return of the Peace River block and railway lands (Continued from Page Eight) Earl Douglas'"HW?!!c6mmamler-!n-ch1ef of the British forces in the great war, who died yesterday of heart failure in London.

FOLLOWER OF BRCCE The military achievements of Lord Douglas Haig consummated seven centuries of military service by the ancient and aristocratic family of Haig of Bemersyde, in Berwickshire. Like so many other clans, they rose from the quarrels of Bruce and Ballol, and once established they were represented whenever the history of Scotland was being made. They reared their sons for the service of Bruce and his Stuart successors and when their country took on the obligations of union with their southern neighbors, the Halgs fought under Cllve, Earlborough and Wellington. In more peaceful times they were distillers and as such the family fortune was made and Increased through several centuries. Prom the day he waa born June 19, 1681, the third and youngest son of John Haig, J.P., of Cameronbridge, Fife- shlre, a military career was planned for Douglas Haig. Hts father, a member of one of the younger branches of the family, gave hlB sons a thorough aca demlc education, a necessary part of Her Majesty's officers of those days. ENTERS ARMY SCHOOL Accordingly, young Haig went to exclusive Clifton and later read at Brase- nose college, Oxford. His work there failed to attain for him any distinction beyond class dramatics and he left there In 1883 to enter the army staff college. Here he threw off the family tradlt'ims to the extent of entering the cavalry ln preference to the Infantry, because of his fondness for riding and his belief that this branch of service offered greater chance of advancement. He obtained a commission ln the 7th Hussars ln 1885 and then settled down to the dull existence of an army officer awaiting war. In the ordinary course of events he had attained the rank of a captain in the 17th Lancers when he was ordered to the Soudan to serve under Kitchener. He accompanied that officer to Khartum, his distin- gulnhed Bervlce winning for him the admiration and friendship of his commander. Captain Halg's fortune changed with this friendship and from then onward his advancement was meteoric. He is said to have the record for rapidity of promotion in the cavalry. WINS ADVANCES For his service at Atbara and Khartum he was mads a brevet-ma] or. In the next war, the Boer war, under Oeneral Sir John French, hlB success' ful commanding of several cavalry columns again won the praise of his commander and he was made a brevet- colonel and added to his store of medals. These campaigns were a basis upon which the colonel was able to build a reputation as a strategist and leader. The friendship of Kitchener soon gave him the command of Inspector-general of cavalry In India from 1903 to 1906 and he was gazetted a major-general in 1904. just eight vean= after he had been a lieutenant of cavalry* He was knighted ln 1911. GOER TO FBANCE When the war started he was director of military training at the war office. He trained and sent the first contingent to France, but at the urgent request of Field-Marshal French, he WAS SO NERVOUS and SHORT OF BREATH COULD HARDLY SLEEP Mrs. Louise Raglin, Golds. Laka, Ont., writes:—"For several years I waa greatly troubled with my heart I was so nervous and short of breath I could hardly sleep at night, and if X did sleep for a while 1 had bad dreams. "I managed to keep at my work, somehow, until I began to have diary spells which got so bad I had to give up. I used many kinds of medicine, but found no help until I got a box ef After the first boi I found a great change, and after two boxes I was as well as I could be. "I told my mother, who had choking sensations, about them and they helped her greatly." Price 50c. a box at all druggists and dealers, or mailed direct on reseipt of price by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont was sent to France to command the First Ana; Corpe. It fell to Oeneral Haig to command the English divisions at the first battle of the aiarne and this he did with such skill that his work was singled out by Lor* French ln his report to tbe war offloe. For this service Haig was made a full general and despite the fact that there were older and more experienced officers ln the field, he came to be recognised as the ablest of the Bngllsh commanders. His knowledge of the strategic Importance of the cavalry and his faith tn that branch of service caused him to use lt more than most commanders in the great conflict were Inclined to do. The retreats from Mons and Ypres covered by the cavalry have been known as the finest examples ot military science produced ln the war. This brought more commendation for the commander of the First Corps and when on December IS, 1915, French was relieved of the supreme command of the English forces and raised to peerage, the nation ln one loud acclaim welcomed the appointment of Haig aa generalissimo, Halg's service was so brilliant as to win him further renown. BECOMES AN EARL He had been appointed field marshal in 1917 for distinguished service and when he returned to England after ths war the mantle of Wellington by popular desires was thrust upon his shoulders. In 191) he wss received by the King on relinquishing hts command and retiring from tbe armj. when His Majesty raised him to the dignity ol an earl. Hs was later called before parliament publicly thanked and voted a gift of 1300.000. OETS AN ESTATE A public subscription was taken and when a fund of »1.430.000 was raised the ancestral estates of Bermersyde were purchased and presented to him as a gift of the people. Before retiring to his estates he received the freedom of all large English cities snd waa made chancellor of St. Andrew's university. In 1933 he accepted a directorship on the board of the largest whisky combine in Scotland, which at that time absorbed the distilling Interests of the Haig family. In most of his charactertatcs Lord Haig was typically the Scotchman. HU manner was tipped with that which was considered more adamant than the granite of Aberdeen and he possessed that primary vlrture of his country patience. Lord Halg's manner through the entire war ls said to have never changed, never was there depression or elation shown on his face. His reticence nnd natural aloftnesa caused him to be accused of a frigid personality, but his silence was not the _Z,1°' \.l!"* °' •raw*****. h'« friends say—lt was because he used words as he used men, sparingly, but always with method. Lord Haig married in 1905 the Hon Dorothy Vivian, a daughter ot Lord Vlvl»n. They had four children ALSO PREDICTS REDUCTION OF DEBLSUBPLUS (Continued irrom Page One.) "Instead, the government had made an application to the privy council in England to hear an appeal on the matter and when the application came berore the privy council there was no respondent on hand to uphold it. ■TRUES NO DELAY "I suggest that the government without further delay turn over to Alberta its natural resources," said Mr. Bennett. The long delay tn doing this has created a most unfavorable Impression throughout the country. "Why should we delay." asked the opposition leader. "We were informed that the railway problem^ of the provinces had been discussed at the Dominion-provincial conference. The fact that parliament was not appraised of the nature of these discussions indicated that the government now eend- ed to ignore the representatives of the people in these matters. BAY LINE CHANGES He referred to the change from the port of Nelson to Fort Churchill for the Hudson's Bay railway. He was not discussing, he said, the relative merits of Churchill and Nelson as terminal ports. He merely wished to draw attention to the way ln which the change had been made. Nelson, said Mr. Bennett, had been selected as the terminal of the Hudson's Bay railway by Hon. Prank Cochrane, when he was minister of railways in the Borden government. The selection had been made on the advice of competent engineers. Six million dollars had been spent on making Nelson a proper terminal port. Now Mr. Dunning, on the advice of a British '•■Htuarlal engineer," had changed to Churchill. Wha* was most Important about the change, however, was that the minister of railways announced the change by radio as coming from himself. Mr. Dunning intervened to say that his announcement had been made on behalf of himself and his colleagues. IP TO PARLIAMENT Mr. Bennett replied that as far he knew there was nothing to show that even the government was authorized to make such an announcement It was a matter upon which parliament should have been consulted- The very first speech which he had made In the old bouse of commons chamber, Mr. Bennett said, toad been la favor of construction of the Hudson Bay railway. Under the Railway act the minister could not cause such ua expenditure without tt^e sanction of parliament. Of immigration, Mr. Bennett said that a state of unrest and suspicion of the administration existed throughout the country, a suspicion of the methods by which the permit* were Issued for Immigrants. It was blgh time something should be dona to bring people and settle them ln this country. ' In 1930 British immigrants had numbered 59.000 with 6000 from other European countries. In 1936, 49,000 British people had oome with 73,000 Irom the throne 7 declaration of the suitable type of Immigrants arriving ip view of this increase from continental countries? It was the most Important question that could engage the public attention. IN LARGE WAY We have not In any one year sines 1931 brought In one-half as many Im* migrants as ln 1913, This threatens the life of ths Dominion. We must have settlers, said Mr. Bennett, and lt must be done ln a large way. Mr. Bennett suggested a special committee of parliament to bear the evidence of railway presidents, officials of the department at home and abroad. The committee should hear the question ln its entirety ln order that the people should have their suspicions of tbe department removed. "Only this day I had a cable from a friend In London, vitally interested ln these matters saying: 'Your new medical regulations are absurd'." The government was doing next to nothing and it was not getting settlers. The figures Indicated an almost total failure. ITSTOMH REPORT Turning to the customs report, Mr. Bennett said that nothing had more vindicated the statements made by Hon. H. H. Stevens, than tbe report recently Issued by the royal commission. "Wfcen that report Is considered by this house, the minister of customs will have more to answer for than glorification In the newspapers for the efficiency of his department," said Mr. Bennett, referring to the alleged neglect ln prosecuting certain cases. "I am wholly ln accord with the suggestion made by the minister of trade and commerce, that we should use large sums of money for research work," said Mr. Bennett. Nothing was more fatal ln the successful prosecution of this work than duplication of effort, and he hoped this point would be borne ln mind by tbe government. Mr. Bennett was amazed that the speech from the throne had made no mention of pension legislation. He had come in contact with many men who were IU ln body and out of work, but who had been refused a pension on the grounds of "postwar disability." The situation was calculated to make these men indignant and somewhat resentful. CLAIMS IS UNTRUE Premier King and the minister of Justice, Mr. Lapolnte, had, Mr. Bennett continued, referred ln several utterances to Canada's alleged equality of Btatus. "When we say that we have equality of Btatus, we are saying something that is untrue in fact," said Mr. Bennett. It was a "species of deception" to tell the young men and women of thlB country that Canada had equality of status. He would not be a party to any "subterfuge" of this nature. "There can be no equality of status, said Mr. Bennett, "so long as the Colonial Laws Validity act remains ln effect." Until, he continued, the British parliament repealed the Colonial Laws Validity act, Canada could not have equality of status. WON'T BE CAUGHT "Will my honorable friend Join with me ln asking for the repeal of the Colonial Laws Validity act?" interjected Hon. Ernest Lapolnte, minister of justice. "I observe that my honorable friend, the minuter," retorted Mr. Bennett, "when confronted with the difficulties of his own situation, desires to escape by asking a queBtion. I will not be caught that way." He would, said Mr. Bennett, use bis endeavors to see that Canada, as a partner ln the British Empire should have an equality with the other parts. Mr. Bennett was of tbe opinion there was to* ltttls known on part of tbe people ln reaped to transpired 1* the work of coma in tbe League at Nations in * Canada was a member. OPPOSES LEGATION PLAN When Canada undertook to sat minuter in Tokyo this country undertaking a matter ln whlcft implications were moat dangerou am opp<>jd to setting up sign legations Instead of i trade commissioners," Mr. said. He felt that such a courM eventuate In disaster.

SLOPPY High Point 39 Degrees Recommendation from the police commission for paying "the acting chief and the acting sergeant" each a bonus of $12.50 a month during the period of the absence from duty of Chief of Police Thomas H. Long, was accepted by the city council last night, the Increases for the two officers, Sergeant Alex. Stewart and Constable Ralph Hale, being retroactive to the beginning of the chief's treatment for his injured knee last fall. "Why did you recommend this Dick— or rather. Your Worship?" asked Alderman H. H. MacKenzie after the bonuses had been voted Mayor R. D. Barnes replied that the matter had come up through one of the officers applying for an Increase. "On examination of the matter, we decided that both officers were having more responsibility than normally, and that the bonuses were coming to them," he explained. PEEBLES PRESSES PROVINCIAL IDEA Alderrian R. A. Peebles—When I first became a member of the council, we asked City Clerk Wasson to write the provincial police and ask for a proposition on the provincial police policing the city. I would like to know if that was done, and what the result was, lf any. Mr. Wasson—I wrote as Instructed, and gave the department all the data it seemed likely they would want. They wrote and asked us to give them the average cost of our police department over a period of years. I also gave them that. Alderman Peebles—Did they make any proposition? Mr. Wasson—No. Alderman Peebles—I move that we go further, and obtain a proposition. "Yes, let us Investigate anyway." supplemented Alderman H. H. MacKenzie. Alderman Peebles explained that all he objected to was "this wraugle and jangle about nothing" ln connection with the police. If the city **j«ive the policing to the provincial police, lt would "get away from this small-town stuff." Policing was the bushier of the provincial pdlice. ahd they would "give the city greater efficiency." I»R. MACKENZIE AFTER DATA In seconding Alderman Pecblte' motion, Alderman H. H.

Points About Appendicitis We are talking and hearing about cancer and heart disease so much, lhat we are apt to overlook the fact Lhat the number of deaths from appendicitis has been increasing during the past few years, despite thc increase in oui knowledge thereof. And, of course, ln the majority of cases the surgeon who performed the operation receives the blame wnen the patient dies. I spoke once before about the death rate from appendix operations Increasing according to the delay ln performing the operation; that whereas the death rate was only about 1 per cent lf operation was performed the first day after discovery of symptoms, that it was nearly' 10 per cent lf dc.aycd for three or four days. Drs. ' Bower and Clark repoi t their findings ln 760 cases operated upon ln a Philadelphia hospital, and ln almost half of this number the appendix had burst before the case arrived at the hospital. Now, this delay means danger, and lt le with the hope that lives may be saved that these physicians and others are trying to warn the public about the signs of appendicitis. The signs, as you know, are pain, nausea, vomiting, and tightness and tenderness of abdominal walls. The outstanding symptom in every case is pain. Pain was the only symptom of which every patient complained. Nausea waa present ln some, vomiting ln others, hut pain was present always. Tenderness over appendix was the next most frequent symptom, being present in about 90 per cent of the cases. Beside the danger from delay, these physicians give warning regarding the danger from giving a laxative, castor oil or anything else. During the year 1926, over 92 per cent of all patients who died from a perforated appendix had had laxatives before admission. Now, what Is the suggestion? In the presence of abdominal pain, give nothing by mouth. That an ab" TVE8DAY, JANUARY 3t Pacific Standard Time Throughout SPECIAL FEATURES CKWX, Vancouver. B.C.

To the press the following statement was issued: 'A doubt having arisen as to whether owing to a change ln the municipal code in 1927, the undersigned are legally entitled to sit In public office, we have tendered our resignations to the town clerk." QUIT SEATS Earlier in the week Robert McEwen and Charles Logan quit their council seats as gestures of opposition to the economy campaign. This leaves Councillor William Miller the sole occupant of the civic chamber. Renfrew's controversial bubble was blown Into existence last Monday when council approved a finance committee report discharging the sole night constable, reducing the fire chief's salary, doing away with other public oflices and eliminating the annual grar,t which maintained the citizens' brass o«nd. It was announced that this action would bring Renfrew a lower tax rate. An influential group of objectionlsts discovered that a clause in the town statutes providing that "every qualified person elected to municipal office shall take the oath of office within 20 days after election and ln default shall be deemed to have resigned" had not been complied with by the civic officers. Indications are that a nominating meeting for the election of a new council will be called immediately.

Care of Babies Why do so many, many babies of today escape all the little fretful spells and Infantile^ ailments that used to worry mothers through the day, and keep them up half the night? If you don't know the answer, you haven't discovered pure, harmless Castorla. It ls sweet to the taste, and sweet in the little stomach. And Its gentle Influence seems felt all through the tiny system. Not even a distasteful dose of castor oil does so much good. And it ls so pleasant to take. Taste tt yourself, and you'll know why "Children Cry for It." Fletcher's Castorla is purely vegetable, so you may give lt freely, at first sign of colic; or when you even suspect the approach of constipation; or diarrhea. Or those many times when you Just don't know what is the matter. For real sickness, call the doctor. always. At other times, a few drops of Fletcher's Castorla. See how quickly all fretfulness or wakefulness will cease! Only one wofrd of warning: the above advice is true of genuine Castorla.* The kind called Fletcher's, bearing Fletcher's signature ls genulne~-**nd does not contain opiates or any other drug that can harm your baby. Other preparations may be just as free from harm; the writer does not know aa to that, but does know one family whose children will never make the experiment! • SPECIAL NOTE: With every bottle of genuine Fletcher's Castorla Is wrapped a book on "Care and Feeding of Babies" worth Its weight In gold to every mother or prospective mother. Children Cry for CastoriA dominal pain which persists over a period of six hours Is usually serious. An Injection of enema may be given to "shift gas." Always keep in mind, therefore, the above-mentioned dangers—delay In consulting a physician, and giving laxatives in coses of abdominal pain.

W. C. Mawhlnney In the chair. The meeting turned down a request made to also start a second half for the girls' league. SMILLIE TAKES ISSIE The turning down of this request, made by Alma Smillie and Margaret Cotter, who were delegates, resulted In a great deal of discussion. R. Smillie stated that the executive was showing that they were not interested ln the promotion of girls' sports. It was shown, however, that at the first meeting when the schedules were submitted, It was made clear that the girls' league would be completed at Christrpas, as the Business college team would not be able to com.ete after then. Alma Smillie consented to let the matter stand for the time being. MAV FORM INDEPENDENTLY After the meeting, Mr. Smillie expressed lt as his opinion that in all probability a meeting of all girls Invested In forming a Nelson Oirls' B_skrtb_ll association would be held within the next few days. This association would Include about six Intermediate teams, made up from the present Intermediate and junior teams united, as well as a Juvenile league composed of probably six teams—two ti'om Central school, two from the high school, one from Hume school and one from the oonvent. The league would have no bearings on the city championships. RESIGNATION REFUSED Jimmy Carter, secretary of the association and star of the Bankers quintet, handed 7t his resignation, explaining that It was inconvenient for him and for the executive for him to hold the position while being a player on one of the t \ ms In the league. The meeting refused to accept his resignation, expressing Itself as being more than satis- fled wiVi the way he was handling the nffnlrs of the association. CAN'T CHANGE REPRESENTATIVES An application on the part of R. Smillie to be permitted to take the place of the playing representatives of the high school at their wish, on the executive of the league, was turned down, after not a Uttle heated discussion between Mr. Smillie and John Notman. member of the advisory executive. It. was shown that rules adopted at the first meeting of the year ruled out any attempted change of the team representatives. It was decided that the teams must be represented bv playing members unless a nonmember waa appointed at t*.e '.eginnlng of the year. ROUGH PLAYING A motion was passed dealing with rough playing. During the balance of the season all rough playing ls to be Immediately reported to the executive. which will then deal severely with the offender. The meeting again became lively when the subject of rules governing Junior players playing ln Intermediate company was brought up. The rule adopted at the first meeting, stating that after playing two games ln inter mediate company, a Junior cannot again play Junior, was upheld.

None of the presidential party was Injured, but the driver of the train, J. A. Boyd of Montreal, roudi-ias- ter, was thrown out of his rah on to a snow bank, and almost instantly killed. One other man, J. La- fl-ur. also of Montreal, a tirakf-man, had his leg broken and several other members of the train crew received Injuries, none of which Is believed serious. The train was traveling at a rate of 55 miles an hour when the accident happened. As soon as the accident occurred, President Cosgrave descended irom the train and made his way foi ward to where the trainmen were treating those who had sustained hurts. He and his party displayed the utmost solicitude Jir the Injured. 1MPKKSHKS him Tlie coolness of all around htm in the emergency impressed lUelf on Mr. Cos- grave.

Mr. Cosgrave arr ved in Ottawa shortly after thc accident on a relief special. He waa welcomed at the slat.on. behalf of Canada, by Krlc C. Mieville, secretary to his excellency. Following the presentations tc gov> crnment and civic notables, Mr. Cos* grave made his way to where arakeman Lafleur was lying on a stretcher and expressed the hope that his injuries were not serlouB and that his recovery would be rapid. High praise was given to Dr. J. J. KU- cen of Chicago, who wns traveling with President Cosgrave as Ills speclul physi' clan, for the part he played in a'tend ing to the injured.

"My honorable friend opposite would better help lm- j migration by giving these figures toi the country and to the world than by I giving the tbe Impression that businees generally was bad." Mr. King added. Vaat strides had been made ln mining. Canada was now the leading producer of newsprint ln the world. "This country is no longer malting only Imperial records ln trade, but ls coming to the point where It Is capturing world records," said thd premier. TAX SEDUCTIONS The prime minister stated that never before ln parliament had the leader of the government presented a record of past achievement or present prosperity and future hope As he himself had just done. Mr. King gave to the house a list of the taxation reductions which had been effected by the government. "It Is not for me jto forecast the budget," he added, "but I will be very much surprised if the minister of finance does not announce a reduction in the public debt, a surplus and further tax reductions." Mr. Bennett had objected that parliament was not Informed of decisions reached at the Dominion-provincial conference. He proposed, said Mr. King, to lay on the table tomorrow a precis of the proceedings at that conference.

CREDIT TO GOSNKLL Credit he said should ln the main go to R. E. Gosnell, who under the Conservative regime and since had worked for years on a brief, which he declared had been used by the government. Hon. A. M- Manson—I didn't see his brief until after argument. Mr. Pooley—Well those who prepared the attorney-general's brief for him certainly did, for I recognize Mr. Oos* nell's argument and whole phrases' of his composition. Continuing he added that he would like to see the parks ln the railway belt continue under the Jurisdiction of the Dominion government which had an efficient parks department. In addition to cheap money, he said, Conservatives would undertake an agricultural survey of the province. STUDENTS LEAVE imiTISIl COLUMBIA He attacked 'the agricultural department for not employing on the permanent staff graduates of the Agricultural college of the University of British Columbia, saying that only a dozen or so were employed. Others had to leave the province while strangers were given positions. This was no way In which to keep the young men and women of the country at home. He agreed with the Vancouver Sun. he said, which recently hod declared that the department of mines had not been properly functioning for five years. He wanted to know why research work was not being done to ttme uses for metal, and ask the minister on mines to declare himself on the unearned Increment tax, saying that this tax was a greatest possible handicap to prospectors. He promised that if the tax was not wiped off this season that the Conservatives would do so next year. He favored the Ontario system of taxation on mines, by which only OF DEBT.

He expressed thi sympathy of the Liberal side of th* house ln the death of Earl Haig. Mr. King referred to the Importance of the confederation celebration which took place during the past summer. The Prince of Wales and Prince Oeorge had both been ln this country. The prime minister of Oreat Britain and ministers of Australia and New Zealand had also been in Canada. -Today I am pround to say," he stated, "that we have as our visitor the president of the Irish Free State, one of th* slater dominions in the British Empire." 4'OSGSAVE VISITS Members of both sides of the house associated this reference to President Cosgrave, who was occupying a seat ln the gallery. These visits, from the leading citizens of various parts of th* Empire developed the spirit of International goodwill and with that object ln mind, the prime minister was glad that the United States secretary of state, Mr. Kellogg, would soon be a visitor to the capital. On behalf of parliament. Premier King expressed his appreciation of the gifts announced last summer by tbe Prince of Wales from Hla Majesty the King of oil portraits of Their Majesties and the late King Edward. Mr. Bennett had referred to the qtaMtlon of immigration. Ths policy of the government, was, said Premier King "that while this country needs j all the Immigrants we can assimilate ' and put into employment, we do not : Intend to extend Immigration where we will bring about large unemployment." Premier King took Issue with Mr. Bennett's reference to unemployment. "Al* a matter of fact, said Mr. King, "there has not been for some years ' paat less unemployment." He quoted : from statistics to show less unem- . ployment than ln former yean. BUILDING GAINS There had also been a considerable Increase ln the gross receipts of rall- ■ way- Mr. King quoted as evidences of * Canada's prosperity the building permits Issued ln 1830.

Amos White, 80, and his wife, Catherine, 48, were burned to death in their beds when fire destroyed the building ln which they lived at 820 St. Tlmothe street. While fighting a blaze at the Lepage Shoe factory, Lieutenant Albert Maillet was trapped in the building and suffered from asphyxiation. He was rescued and sent to the hospital. Thc loss at this fire was estimated at $30,000. A tragic story surrounds the deaths of the Whites. The couple were m> poor, according to neighbors, that ne*c-papers were their only fuel for the sma'l Btove that supplied heat to their flat. During the early hours of this momii.g, the heater was packed full of paper und the victims retired. White they slept the stove became overheated and ignited the walls, the flames trapping the Whiles. ROARING FURNACE When the firemen arrived the house was a roaring furnace. They forced an entry and found the bodies of the couple. Other trssldents of the tenement managed to escape. The fourth serious fire in 20 years occurred in the boys' reformatory school in the east end of the city today when fire started on the first floor of the shoe manufacturing wing of the Institution, ignited the wooden walls and ..he celling, and rapidly spread to the upper floors of the building. There was no one in this section of the building at the time of the outbreak. The lower entrances of the building were locked, and it took the firemen considerable time before they were able to chtip their way into the building. dividend earning properties were called upon to pay. Mr. Pooley at soma length attacked the department of public works saying that on 12 contracts alone expenditures over estimates had aggregated more than 82.000,000. He also referred to the statement of Charles Woodward, Liberal member for Vancouver, who said that the government has wasted 830.000.000 on the P.G.E. He was anxiously awaiting the announcement *of the premier on a solution of the railway problem he said. He could not agree with Hon. J. D, MacLean that taxes had been reduced. In fact they had increased per capita by »30 ln 10 years. It was evident that the election was coming ond was anxious to see the absentee vote abolished before that time. In any event the people agreed with Mr. Woodward, who, although a Liberal, was free and outspoken. He had described the government as being neglectful "foolish," "wasteful." "crazy," "dilatory," "Insane" and "actuated by meanness and Jealousy." OTTAWA, Jan. 30.—Conservatives wffl not move any amendment on the address ln reply to the speech from the throne, This was the decision arrived at this morning at the first caucus of t.ie opposition since the opening of the house.

Jan. 30.—Thick speech, staggering gait, liquor on the breath, and bleary syes do not In themselves necessarily prove that a man Is In that degree of Intoxication as to make lt unsafe for him to drive a motor car, was the finding of Judge ■ A. A. McLorg tn district court today when he allowed the appeal of Fred Lewis against a conviction for drunken driving. The conviction of Police Magistrate Brown last fall Was quashed and costs allowed the appellant. Hla lordship found a reasonable doubt of accused's guilt. In his Judgment, which came after a number of witnesses had been heard, also argument by counsel, his lordship referred to section 21VJ-C of the Canadian Criminal code, ln which the various degrees of intoxication are mentioned. The Judge found ln the caae before him evidence of slight Intoxication, but no evidence of Intoxication sufficient to uphold the conviction, chiefly because Lewis' mental oondltlon from the time of the accident until two doctors had examined him at police station, had not been shown to have been below normal. Further. Dr. Rose had stated that Lewis answered all questions Intelligently, There was an interesting contradiction between the tern physicians. Dr. Donald MacKenzie found the man considerably under the influence liquor.

An investigation had been made on behalf of the government, he revealed, ln Toronto, Detroit and other places, regarding the history of the organizers, and lt was found that their "record would not bear very close investigation," said the premier. Three days after the government investigator returned to Regina, the Klan organizers-* left the city, and members of the Klan began to shake, wondering what was their responsibility regarding the collection of the money taken by these men, said Mr. Oardlner. "As leader of the government, I do not want the support of that kind of men," the premier declared. "If we cant get support ln this province without cooperation of that kind, then let's not have government at all under our present form."
