to be again submitted to the elector- eratlons on Kingsway. This will moan
ate although  this time tho length ot ] considerable   Inconvenience    to    pas

The   program   was   well   filled.

the I ley to attack the chairman of the com-
talent the best the city cr Vancouver
could produce, and the crowd one of
the lurgost and most appreciative
that ever entered the portals of the

two parts.    In the first the local ar-
the franchise would be 36 years instead of 40 us agreed to by the council of UU.
The concessions allowed by the company in return for the franchise wore
tlio same as those brought up In November last when tho question was
taken up by the council and later was
dropped ly reason of tho B. c. B. R.
refusing to reconsider tho matter owing to opposition being shown in several  districts of the  municipality.
Mr. Sperling explained that after

CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS?
Progress to be real and sustained must be along all
lines of legitimate endeavor. This much will be conceded
"by all. It is regrettable, but nevertheless true that in some
branches of the aforesaid legitimate endeavor the coast
communities have refused to back up the efforts made in
a praiseworthy direction by those working for the general
good of the nation.
A case in point is to be seen in the fate which now
threatens the Navy League ship Egeria, which, after much
worry and toil, was purchased by the members of that organization for the purpose of preparing boys for the profession of the sea. She lies moored in Vancouver harbor,
but Vancouver people are evidently unappreciative of the
benefits to be obtained from her, and this together with
lack of support from the provincial and Dominion governments, appears to be likely to end in the ship's again
coming under the hammer.
In that case goodbye to a training ship for British\T��sii, a.ni .u-ws. > -.;
Columbians who may desire to man some of the great
argosies which, we are told, will visit coast ports after
the canal is cut through, and goodbye also to any headquarters for a naval volunteer force which any other city
in the empire of Vancouver's size would ere now have
boasted.
Public opinion is a strange thing and at present it appears to be sunk deep in subjects which take no cognizance
of such vital matters as the preparation of young men
for a mercantile career much less of their prospective entry into the volunteer or regular service of their country
at sea.
A very large proportion of those who man the fishing
fleet upon the Fraser are men of an alien race, a race
also which has fifteen battleships irrespective of cruisers
in the Pacific today, and is backed by the confidence in-

The first omnibus line In the world
was Inaugurated in Parle 251 years age
today, March  18, 1M2, and continued
in operation for two and a half centur
ies, with tho exception of occasional
intervals.    The last horse omnibus In
tho French capital was recently given
a burl-usque funeral and was escorted |
to Its "last resting place" by a procos-1
sion of  motor  buses  and  taxlcabs.
The pioneer lino had seven coaolii s. I
which wore operated over fixed routes i
the fare being about five cents for any
distance. The purpose of the omnibus |
system, as announced in the charter
granted by the king, was to provide
transportation for those persons "who
have not the means to ride in chaise
or carriage."
At first a democratic Institution, il
was not long until the company offi
clals ruled that "private soldiers, domestic servants and manual laborers"
were to he excluded from the coaches.
This led to much popular Indignation,
and the omnibuses were often stoned.
The first 'bus line in London was started In 1H29, and a year later the pioneer line was Inaugurated ln Now

London, March 17 ���The government
ls alive to the necessity of stimulating
j agriculture on tho scientific side, so
is to remove the reproach that Britain lays behind other nations In this
respect.
This is shown by the fact, related by Herbert Samuel, M. P., at a
dinner of the Stockton-on-Tees chamber of agriculture, that Mr. Runclman
Ib developing a great scheme to make
scientific knowledge and research
available to a greater extent than
hitherto for the benefit of the farming community.
Kngland said Mr. Samuel, was being
divided into twelve provinces, and in
each there waB to be a centre at which
agricultural scientific research of the
highest quality could bo carried on.
The scheme had two objecta:
"Firstly, It should be practical, not
merely dealing with existing theories,
but dealing with the science of agriculture In a way that would be of no ubc

pounds,  shillings  and  pence.
Secondly, It would bo dealt with In

Vancouver, March 16.���The newly
appointed censor has boen a. resident
of Vancouver for the past 14 years
and during that time he has been connected with the reportorial and editorial staff of The Province, being at
present city editor of that paper.
It is felt that his position as a newspaper man has fitted him to undertake tho duties of the position to which
he has been appointed, it being generally admitted that newspaper service gives excellent training in Judgment.
The head of the Ontario board of
censors was recently chosen from a
Toronto newspaper and this board has
done excellent work In keeping the
moving picture theatres in that pro-
vince free from objectionable matter |
Several states across the border have
also chosen theatrical censors from

MARCH
Up   through   the   river   valloy,   with
rough  and  tramping  feet,
I   hear tho  young   March  coming,  a-
Blnglng  loud  and  sweet.
Tho  rains that   start the grasses, he
brings  them  In his hand.
He   brings   tbe  noontime   glory   that
wakes lhe frozen land.
Tho robin and tho bluebird are nestled in his breast,
Thc violet snd pasque flower springs
up  where he finds rest;
Ills winds that blow so roughly set
all the rivers free.
And laughinr. singing gaily, they
dance toward the sea.
Sometimes he looks behind him. and
then the snows come back.
They flutter in his pathway and whiten every track;
But whe ho breathes upon Ihom, then
lo! thoy are no more--
For spring  comes close  behind  him,
up from 'he warm gulf Bhore.

The lion of March Is hero,
With his tumult of wind and hail;
Wild, whlte-maned waves dash storm-
Hy
Down   the lake  before the gale.
The stately treoB bond low,
ah the storm-voice, sweeping by,
lilds thorn to cast on earth beneath
Their branches, dead and dry.
Antl  out of the misty grey,
With its falling flecks of white,
Sweet voices drill In whisperings low,
"We  come,   wo  come  through   the

Resldente in Germany.
Ileglna, March 17.- -A large and Influential gathering filled the Y. M.
C. A. auditorium to hear Mr Culpln
give his final lecture on the bousing
question as being part of modern
Town l'uannlng.
The hope ot bousing reform lies In
proper town planning and grows
from the Idea of giving the working-
man a home that will not only be comfortable and sanitary bat also a home
that In- can rent at a reasonable rate.
tie saw no valid reason why tbe same
conditions should not apply here as
they do In England.
Domestic bouse building is a
science just as much as the actual
surveying of the town site. Fifty
years ago the bulk of the population
in England lived In the cities.
There are 32,000,000 people living
in the large cities comprising 480,000
acres compared with 7,600,000 of a
rural population living on 20.000,000
acres. Some IntereeUng figures were
given showing the results of overcrowding:
Death Consump- Infantile
Rate tlon       Mortality
One  room    39 4.6 211
Two   rooms   27.5 2.8 178
Three rooms 14.8 1.2 188
Four roomB    8.4 0.63 121
Death Rate
The death rate and consumption figures are per 1000 population while the
Infantile mortality are per 1,000
births. A picture was shown of Mr.
Ebenezcr Howard, the founder of the
Harden City and Town Planning Association.
It was this man, who though of no
social Importance and without wealth
first understood the great problem of
stopping the depopulation of the country and the overcrowding of the cities. Mr. Howard evolved the Idea
that this could be done by bringing
the country to the towns and thus the
idea of garden cities was started in
England.
"You cannot." eald Mr. Culpln, "have
a successful city unless all the various
parts of the population live together
in harmony."
Mr. Culpln explained how the financial end of the scheme was managed.
1-and was bought In the case of
I.etchwortli, the first garden city, for
about (200 per acre. This also Included all the buildings.

taxes This will revolutionize the
evolution of the cities In time to
come.

A Modal Town.
Mr. George Cadbury, now dead, waa
also u great advocatee of town planning He started the town of Bourn

mission agents have their touts working ln the big mills, and we have to
keep a sharp lookout to keep the
brutes out of the working lads' clubs."
John Hawke (National Anti-Gambling league) said there were 30,000
men and women earning their living
by bookmaklng and gambling, ttl effect was felt in the army, the navy,
the civil service and amongst tbo police. It spoiled our sporm, and foot-
ball was said to be not a game, but a
brunch of commerce. Lord Newton'B
bill would stop issue of bookmakers'
circulars and betting advertisements
in newspapers or elsewhere
J. A. Spender was convinced that
Improved education waB the key [0
the problem, and that all mechanical
means of advertising should be cut
off.
Bishop's   Opinion.
Lord Newton pointed out that n
committee of lhe House of I-ordB
which Included a bishop, came to the
conclusion tbat betting was not a
crime In Itself, and that private bolting was Impossible to stop. In b'.s
view tho only practical course to
adopt was to regulate It.
He would like to regulate It hy taxing bookmakers bo that they would no",
rind It a remunerative occupation. But
there were objections to that course,
one being that English governments
wire, as a rule, credited elsewhere
with that quality of hypocrisy wi'.b
which foreign governments v/ere always anxious to dissociate themselves.   (Laughter).
They miiBt make betting less ei.ay-
Mb great Inciters, he asserted, were
the press. His bill, which would here-introduced, was an attempt to d-:al
cn modest lines with incitement of
that nature. Public opinion was not
ripe for tbe abolition of betting or ric-
ing, and he believed ln going .ilowiy
In regard to the question.
Gerald Wellesley, a cousin ot the
Duke of Wellington, who has worked
for several years In connection with
the Eton College mission ln the Kast
Kud, stated that no amount of legislation, good, had or Indifferent, would
make any difference ln the amount of
gambling and speculation that went
on.
The love ot gambling, of some rx-
cltement In life, the love of the unknown, waB so ingrained In the liritish working people that no law would
drive It out. Taken as a whole, there
were no more open-handed and more
generous lot of men than bookmak
ers.
Where did the anti-gamblers draw a
line between gambling and Investments? Were they clear In iheli
minds that they were not Investing
In companies about which they knew
nothing? He would be sorry io say
which of them confined themsnlves
solely to drawing a line between
gambling and legitimate   investment

Paupere In end Out of Workhouses.
London. March 17.���Statistics concerning the number of persons In rp-
>"int of relief in London on Saturday,
Feb. 8, show that on that date there
were 109,988 paupere, of whom 77,-
474 were In the workhouses and 32,-
464 were on the outdoor lists.
These flguree Included 593 children
hoarded out beyond the unlone and 13,-
124 other children under 16 years of
sge. The total wae lower by -4491
than that for the corresponding day
nf February, 1912, and represented a
rate of 24.3 paupere per 1,000 of the
population.
The decreaee took place In both
classes, there being a reduction ot
2466 In the workhouse population and
of 2085 In the number of outdoor paupers. All the unions contributed te
the decrease, except St. George-in-the-
eaat, where there wae a rise of six.
and the Mile End, where thre wss an
increase of 161.
On the corresponding Saturdays ln
he preceding three years the numbers
were: 1912. 114.429 paupers (79,880
Indoor and 34,549 outdoor) or 25.3 per
.1000 of the population; 1911, 114,326
uaupers (81,430 Indoor and 32,896 out-
loor), or 25.3 per 1000 of the population; 1910, 128,697 paupers (82.606 In-
loor and 46,991 outdoor), or 28.4 per
100 of the population.
The largo lecreaee shown In 1911 ls
itated to have been due mainly to the
removal of the pauper disqualification under the old age pensions act,
The number ot casual paupers relieved

us against 1033 on the corresponding
night of February, 1912; 1,067 ln 1911

The tramcar waa proceeding tx full

The conductor, who bad Just t'.nu-

fifty francs. The tram stopped, and
hearing the conductor's cries for assistance the driver ran to his aid with
a shovel, but was promptly confronted
with several pistols and told to drive
on.   He did so.
Meanwhile the frightened passim

'thn   board   of  works,   excepting    tin
yesterday, so that his arrival here according fo ('. I', lt. time made by Its |
trains Is not expected before Wednos-j
dny evening.
Yesterday  morning  Chief of  Police
Bradshaw   made   preparations   to   receive- the much wanted  man and thej
fact  that the  provincial  Jail officials
have refused  to  keep  Macnamara  in I
custody   unices  he   is   committed   for
! trial makes it necessary to fix up n
special cill In tlio city lock-up where:
on his arrival the accused will be kepi
undbr spi. :-i:il guard night and day un-!
���til lie is either committed for trial by
Magistrate Edmonds or released from
custody.
Jusl as soon as the extradition papers were signed by the state department of New Voile Macnamara was
taken In charge by the Pinkerton do .
tgctives under Chief Atioarn and placed ou a New York Central train headed Cor Buffalo where a change wae
made and once across the bridge al
Porl Erie, Ontario the much wanted
i man was k�� |it clear of all habeas corpus proceedings that might be brought
by !:is friends on the American Bide

That unusual pri cautions are bi
ling taken liy the Pinkerton authorities
| in bringing Macnamara to New Westi

of all poli'i officials in this city who
although Ihey might be in the know

purpose of impersonation. A scheme
which they carried out on election day.
It la alleged that they were to be

"MUTT   AND   JEFF."
Bud  Fisher's "Mutt and Jeff"   car
toons, which have been attracting the
attention of the entire country, have
I.eon dramatized by Gus Hill, the well-
known New York producer and mana-
cer.    These furiously  funny cartoons
| hnve  been  made into a musical comedy of unusual pretension, nnd will be
presented   at   the   Opera    liouse    tonight.
The plot of the play is rather well i
I defined,  which  Is  unusual  In  a niusi-j
cal comedy of this type, but   at  the
same time there Is too much story to j
interfere  with   side-splitting   by-plays
Indulged  In  by the elongated  "Mutt" j
and the abbreviated "Jeff."
What  there Is of the story  follows
IU   brief:     "Mutt   and   "Jeff"   are   a!
iiair of race track followers, who find-1
lug themselves broke at the close of |
the   Saratoga   racing   sea-eon,   scout
iround for a regular job.   At the club
house is stopping the daughter of the
president   of  a   South   American    republic, from whom "Mutt" and "Jeff"
learn of nn Immensely rich estate of a
deceased   revolutionary   general   who
ias  been  banished  from  his  country
.'or sedition.
There being no claimants for the
"State, which ls very likely soon to he
confiscated by the government, "Mutt"
and "Jeff" Impersonate the heirs nnd
claim the pronerty, nfter learning that
nn article Indlspenslble In the manufacture of chewing gum has been dls-

It was with tbe greatest diflculty that

Berlin. March 17��� The Crown
Prince has at last apparently been
restored to hiB Imperial father's favor.
The Tageballtt announces that the
I'rlnce will leave his command of thc
Hussars and Danzig and return to
Berlin as commander of another regiment here, the Grenadier Guards.
This regiment is classed as one of
the cracks, and may be said to come
first after the two so-called footguuril
regiments.
The return of the Crown Prince   to |
an  infantry  regiment   iB a return   to
tradition, for all the Princes of  Mus
slan since the day of the great Frederick have been brought up as Inian
try offlcere.
The change will be especially applauded by the people or Berlin, with
which the Crown Prince and Princess
are exceedingly popular. It Is now
more than two years since the Crown
Prince took command of the Death't
Head HusBars at Danzig.
This command, which the Prince has
learned of lirst in Egypt on bis way
home from India, has always been
looked upon by the Prussians, and In
particular by the Berlin people, as a
modified form of banishment.

Girl Lost Job Although Working With

1-ondon, March 17.���Justice Darling
nd a special Jury heard a claim for
damages    for     wrongful     dismissal
brought by  Miss Ospovnt, a milliner,
against Mr  (Jrenander, who carries on
business as dressmaker and milliner.
The plaintiff. It was stated, received
a salary' of $2800 a year, pIub a com-
mlBBlon which averaged more than *l,
500  a  year.    On   April  14,  1012,   the
plaintiff got loave to go to   Hendon
and went upon an aeroplane, and owing to tlie fact that one of her fingers
wub struck by  tho propeller she bad
to have u Joint removed.
She was soon able lo come hack I'
the business, and by May 1 reported
herself as ready for full work again.
but the defendant then tolil her Bhe
must leave ub with Iwr damaged finger she would no longer be able to
give satisfaction. That was in breach
of an agreement under which Bhe wan
employed
Ab Bhe wbb head milliner her work
wub brain work rather than hand
work, but the defendant look the op

save the commission they were bound
lu pay her. The case was later withdrawn, the parties having come lo
terms.
archbishops and bishops witli a me
morial asking him to protect the interests ol the Christians in Persia.
But the shah slept late. The prize-
flghters overlapped thc prelates. A
footman made a mistake in opening
thc door. Archbishops and bishops
following the shah in a moment lound
themselves mure or less in a ring
round the two prizefighters. The
bishops hustled back to tlie reception
Toon, the fight w-a stopped, the shah i
was angry and disappointed, and
Lord Shaitesbury was heard shout-
ing: "A prisefight in the garden ot the
queen's palace forsooth! I will denounce you all over the kingdom!"
Mutual explanations followed, the
matter was set right, we sent special
messages to the reporters to keep it
out of the press, and 1 was later on
privileged to explain it all to the
Queen, who took the matter much
more calmly than her Lord Chamber-
hun. Once back, however, inside
Buckingham Palace, we all smoothed
oui ruffled leathers and listened to a
most gloomy oration from Lord
Shaftesbury.
The shah, an?r>" at the interruption ol his pritetight. turned round to
Sir Henry Rawliiisan and growled in
Persian: "Hang the Christians in
Persia! Tell them they're all right!"
Rowlineon translated that into a long,
eloquent, beautiful reply to the deputation, while doubtless thc disappointed boxers were having a conwi.ation
scrap in the stables. Lord Shaftesbury did r.ot denounce tliem. though
the shah's bear leaders lived in terror Ior tome days.
The Lord Chamberlain blamed me.
I blamed the shah, the shah ! lnmed
the equerry, the equerry blamed the
footman, the footman blamed every
one all round, and we gave the
prisefinhtecs $25 a piece, with a resolution written in blood thnt never
would any of in again arrange a
nrirefight. even for a shah of s-halis.

a Han'.ey solicitor. Legal work brought
him in enoui-h to live on. so he decided to stick to the law, and at
twenty-one wss earning a modest competence of $6.25 a week a-s a slnrl-
hatid clerk in a London solicitor's
office.
A natural aptitude lor certain
phases of legal work, "and au equally
t.atural gift for advancing my own
interests," aa this young man has
since conicBSed, er' long increa��oil
that  salary  to $1,000  a  year.
He again, howver, iu spite ol this
admittedly gool salary for the work
he was doing, became infected with
the literary germ, and thnt germ developed into a disease when "the most
popular of all ixjpu.ar weeklies" ottered a priie of twenty guineas lor the
best humorous condensation, in 2.000
wiirds, nl a serial which had been
published in its columns.
The serial BWy was Mr Oranl Allen's $s,ooo prise novel, "Wbet'i Bred
in the Bone." and the ynun-g man
who tried Inr  and eventually  carried
off Hie twenty-guinea priie. was Mr.
Arnold Bennett, now one of tb*'
world's most liiinous dramatists,
whose brilliant novels, plays, an.l e-
savj have placed him among the most
influential writer* ol die day. On both
sides i>f the Atlantic bi* work bas
achi'ved a popularity which ia al'. Hie
more iiuiar.iiig when one considers linn
it Is only twelve years ago since he
began to devote bimeell exclusively
to   literature.
That twenty guineas was Mr Bennett's first pen money, i.i.d the prize
brought to him visions of literarv
fame, although it i* safe to affirm
that even in his wikWt flights i>!
fancy lie never pictured himself attaining tlie reputation he poseeeses
to-day. The prise whetted his appetite for literary work. Alter some time
in journolism. Mr. Bennett wrote bis
flrst novel, "A Msn From the North,"
which brought in very little money.
By no mesne d.scouroged, however,
he wrote, during tlie nest eight years,
s series of novels, among which were
his masterpieces. "Anna of the Kive
Towns," "The Old Wives' Tale," and
"Clayhanger."
The only objection some people have
to Mr. Bennett's novels li that they
arc sonwwhat too long, and some ol
his admirers chaffed him unmerciful*
ly wtien they entertained bun at dinner recently. .1 hundred cr more
literiry c'.ebr.ties and others sat down
to dinner, and afterwurd* une of
them got up and said-.
"I have enjoyed trying to read
your books. Mr. Bennett. I year Sgo
I started 'Cl��yh��ni,'��r,' and I propose
to finish it."
While yet Brother literary celebrity
iipoko ot the feelings ill one's heart oil
finishing a "uprightly little novelette
of 700,000 words, only to be tutormed
at the close ol the volume that till-
id but a preliminary cantor toward-
another novelette somewhat larger,
that would d����al with tlie d*eofr.danti-
of tho first book's characters." And
there was uo one lu ttse gathering who
enjoyed ttie chat! more than Mr. Ben

Salves Can't Cure Eczema
In regard to skin diseases, medical
authorities ore now agreed on this:
Don't Imprison tho disease germs in
your skin by the use of grassy salves,
and thus encourage them to multiply.
A true cure of all edematous diseases
can be brought about only by using
the healing agents in the torm of a
liquid.

Oil of Wlntergreen, Thymol, and other

then soothes and heals the shin as
nothing else hu aver done.
We have mode fut friends of mor*
than one family by recommending
this D.D.D. Prescription to a skin sufferer her* and there, snd we want yo-i
to try It now. We want to tell yon,

Many Admire Work of Canadian, English and Dutch Artiste.
-Visions of the day when Westminster will have an art gallery of its
own were suggested by the collection
of excellent examples of the work of
Canadian, English and Dutch artists
of the modern school at Mr. Kitchie's
studio  yesterday.
There was a considerable stream of
visitors to the exhibition all day and
the   paintings   were  greatly   admired.
The ocean views of F. M. Bell Smith j
and St. ThomaB Smith and the work j
of A. F. Hamilton were representative i
of the art that is as yet in its infancy j
in the  Dominion,  but the promise in
the  Interpretation  of  the  sea  shown
by  the two  first  augurs  well for Its
ultimate development.
There   were   some  very   beautiful j
pictures of varied Biibjects, old world
castles and the like, from the brushes
of   such   eminent   English   artists   as j
Stevens,   liiapland,   liowden.   Bishop.
