(Special to the Optimist) London, Jan. 4.—The terrible attack hich was yesterday directed against he extermination of the anarchist gang |in the city is today the only topic of discussion in the great metropolis. Everyone is anxious to know the why and wherefore of such drastic measures on the part of the police and the military. The Daily Telegraph came to their aid this morning with a statement to the effect that prior to the fight the police accidentally stumbled acroas the greatest plot yet unearthed. The utmost secrecy is maintained regarding the motif of the plot but it is generally understood to have relation to the forthcoming coronation of King George V. That the gang were located in England with a view to perpetrating some horrible crime on that auspicious occasion seems more than probable. That is the only reason assigned for the unique and effective method employed to get rid of the dangerous principals to the plot. London iLater)—Following the part in the battle against the anarchists Mr. Winston Churchill today made a statement to the press of the city ol Ixmdon to the effect that immigration laws must now be passed to protect the shores of Great Britain from such creatures. Five hundred armed detectives are making a house to house search through the anarchist headquarters owing to reports that reprisals are being planned having been received at police headquarters. Mr. William Manson, M. P. P., and mayoral candidate for the City of Prince Rupert opened his campaign proper in the Empress Theatre last night. In anticipation of this interesting event there was a large audience which fairly filled the theatre. Mr. Manson was supported on the platform by a number of the aldermen and prospective aldermen who are espousing his cause in the mayoralty fight. Before proceeding with the business of the meeting the chairman, Mr. T. Dunn, invited any aldermen who might be present in the audience to come to the platform and in response to this invitation Messrs. Mobley and Pattullo stepped up and were greeted along with the others with hearty applause—Mr. Mobley sitting down beside Mr. S. M. Newton. The meeting was of a prolonged nature, lasting till well after eleven o'clock, but throughout the utmost good feeling prevailed on both sides. Hard knocks were given and taken, and on several occasions "eventualities" seemed im minent, but the iron rule of Mr. Dunn aerved to restrain the impetuous as well as the obstreperous, without in any way creating an impression of partitan- ship or prejudice. After the chairman had appealed for a fair hearing for all of the speakers he called upon Mr. Manson to open the ball. Manson Leads the Way A great reception was accorded the mayoral candidate. Wasting no time over idle preliminaries he waded into the various issues of the election. He had been criticized, he said, because it would be necessary for him to be absent from the city for the first six weeks of the year. He took occasion to point out that during the last seven months Mayor Stork had been absent from the city for seven weeks, and he thought therefore that it would be no great crime for him to be absent for six weeks out of the twelve months in Victorai. In reference to the holding of the meeting he said that they had been accused of trying to evade their opponents in open debate. He replied, however, that it has been previously arranged between himself and Alderman Mobley that they would not open their campaign till after the New Year and as that pledge had not been acted up to by his opponent, he thought he was entitled to take the first opportunity that offered itself after the New Year, of opening his campaign. In doing so he was quite within his rights and he did not think the action in any way justified the criticism that had been hurled at him. At the same time he welcomed Alderman Mobley and Pattullo to his platform. Must Follow Council In regard to the policy now to be adopted or advocated, he said that it must have regard to what had gone before during the past seven months. Seven months ago it was easy to lay down a policy but now they must have regard to the past. It would not do to lay down a policy that would upset or undo what had already been done. They must follow the p ent council where they left off. The council had had many duties to undertake and he had no petty criticism to offer. No one knew better than he the difficulties of the situation. They, the council, of course had a clean sheet to begin with dition to that it hampered the outside portions of the city. Term Not Long Enough He contended that the improvements which they had undertaken and lhe items which they had to undertake during the ensuing year would exhaust their borrowing power. He criticized the council for basing their financial policy upon a twenty year term. He and were to a certain extent the pinm. | thougnt jt wag . misUke The money about to be borrowed should be ex- having nothing to interfere with their progress. Financial Policy To his mind there was nothing more important than the financial policy of the city. It was the whole key to the situation, regarding municipal affairs. The financial policy he advocated seven months ago was borrowing the necessary money upon the credit of the whole city for street grading, installing water, and sewerage systems, electric light and the telephone. He believed that the method of borrowing was very mud- simpler spread over the whole city than on the local, improvement plan. He thought it was a proper thing that the charges for street grading should be spread over the whole city. So far as he was concerned he had no objection to the grading of Section One, but he wanted the whole city to be graded. He thought it would have been better if the grading in Section One had been confined to a smaller area. If the congested portions of Section One had been graded it would have been easier upon the financial credit of the city. They would have had less to face in regard to sewers and macadamising. In ad- MOBLEY FOR MAYOR Public : Meeting -in the- EMPRESS THEATRE Friday, Evening, Jan. 6 at 8 o'clock, in the interests of Alderman Frank Mobley for Mayor, Mr. Manson Is Invited to Steak. Seats Reserved for Ladies to be tended over the longest period possible, forty or fifty years. To borrow on a long term meant that they would have a smaller rate of taxation. In Grips With Pattullo Alderman Pattullo, be said, had been doing considerable figuring in regard to borrowing. In replying to some of the Alderman's criticisms of his proposal he said that the council had been compelled to follow the policy they did, on account of the local improvement plan. That policy, he said, compelled the city to go to the bank and raise the money. They could not tell what the work was going to cost until it was done Their financial policy was therefore forced upon them by their pursuance of the local improvement plan. He thought that Alderman Pattullo's reasoning of the matter was misleading. It was not necessary to borrow a million dollars all at once. Once their debentures were sold they could go to the bank and get an advance on them quickly and easily. As it is now, they did not know what they might have to sell at. They must be issued, however, and they must be sold. In any event he thought it was wrong to start work without first having the authority of the people. In Section One the people had never been consulted. Mr. Manson's Platform Coming to his plaftorm for the mayoralty he said that last year he had advocated the taxation of land values only. That policy he was glad to know had been adopted during the year. He twitted Alderman Pattullo's scepticism in regard to the water record. In the matter of building sidewalks and pavements he favored the local improvement plan, but in the case of the permanent graf"'. j of the streets which would last for ever he thought it should be paid for by the whole city. His platform also provided for the municipal control of the tramways and other public utilities that would be created with the development of the city. He favored an eight hour day for all city workmen at $3 per day, and others at the current rate, for provisions to be made in all city contracts against the employment of Asiatic labor. As regards work already done or in hand they would adhere to the policy of the present council. He would make a change in the financial policy, however. He would try to have the time for the expiry of the loan altered from twenty years to fifty years. He believed that Special to the Optimist Winnipeg, Jan. 4—Reports from the outlying places on the great plains all tell of the raging storm which ravaged the whole country yesterday and the day before. The condition in Saskatchewan is described as the worst in years. The hurricanes and snows made it quite impossible to go out of doors. All traffic was held up or seriously delayed. Prince Albert has the same story tojtell. In Regina hardly anyone dared venture on the street, so bitter was the cold and so fierce the gale. At Moose Jaw the mercury recorded from thirty-five to thirty-seven below, whereas at Kenora the thermometer was almost put |out of business. Fifty-one below was recorded. All business waa at a complete standstill for the simple reason that it was quite impossible to do anything. Brandon also got the full blast of the gale, POST OFFICE IS DYNAMITED POLICE ARREST ONE MAN IN CONNECTION WITH CRIME Outrage on Government Post Office Believed to Be Work of a Gang— Police Are Still Prosecuting the Investigation.

The police are still prosecuting the search but so f.r without further avail. They believe that tbe work was the result of a plot on the part of some gang.

HAS CABLE SHIP TO LAY NEW CABLE FROM VANCOUVER TO VICTORIA B. C. Telephone Company Decides to Construct Boat to Facilitate the Laying of New Cablet Acrosa Rivers and Other Waters. To lay its new paper pupil) coil cable from Vancouver to Victoria, and for the purpose of making prompt repairs to any future breaks in thc Gulf of Georgia and Eraser Kiver cables, the British Columbia Telephone company has just decided on the construction of a cable ship. The equipment is to be secured in England, while the hull will be built here. The company has been in correspondence for some time with various cable-laying apparatus concerns in the old country, and has finally selected a double-gear, similar to that in use on the ship Restorer, owned by the Commercial Cable company, and the American Government's boat Burn- side at Seattle. This equipment, when complete, will include a cable tank, dynameters, grappling and sounding apparatus. The vessel will be about 126 feet in length, being somewhat smaller than the Restorer. The engines are to be installed in Vancouver. It is expected that the total cost of the ship will approximate $35,000. In the past, officials of the telephone company state, it has taken them about ten days to make repairs on their cables owing to the fact that they were forced to hire cable boats. In the future, when they have a boat of their own, they hope to be able to attend to any ordinary difficulties in three days or even less. This boat will attend to the present cable to Victoria, thc new one to be laid next year, and the three small cables across the Fraser River at New Westminster, Chilliwack and Rosedale.

Mr. Manson gave it as his own opinion ut lust night's meeting that he wouldn't be missed for six weeks. Alderman Hilditrh who knows both Mr. Manson and the work of the council gave it as his opinion that if Mr. Manson were Mayor he could stay away for two months und not be missed. This brings it within the jurisdiction of thc remark in yesterday's Optimist that a Mayor who could stay away for two months and not lie missed, might just as well stay awuy for the remaining ten. The kind of Mayor Prince Rupert needs is one who can't stay away two days without being missed. Some of the candidates for council honors should remember the example of Alderman Naden and Mayor Stork, both of whom are retiring because the demands of their private affairs will prevent them from giving adequate time to public affairs. The kind of man who won't be missed from the council has no business to run for office, let alone expect election. FOR RENT-Four-roomed . nlshed, irood range; on T-ylor St. Apply K. W. Cameron _t Co.

ROCHESTER & MONROE Alderman Mobley's Platform As wus expected, thc platform which Alderman Mobley outlined last night as the basis of his candidature for Mayor, was largely a continuation of the policy of last year's council. This wus u wise course1, and an ample policy. It is far more satisfactory to the citizens to have a man declare himself in favor of a series of concrete reforms which are now in process of labor, rather than to listen to a lot of airy generalities ahout reforms which are to come out from the skies. Under the business policy of the last council, a large amount of improvement work has been done. The grading of the business section has been arranged for, and plankways built out into the residential districts. Fire and police departments have been installed, a water supply provided for, a telephone and electric lighting plant erected. Financial pressure brought to beur to crush the city into submission to the corporations has been successfully met, and the finances of the city put on a satisfactory basis. In addition, a vast urruy of machinery (or the moral and social government of the city has been provided. In announcing the following up and extension of this business policy of developing the city. Aid. Mobley announced a policy which will commend itself to the great muss of citizens whose ehief desire in electing u Muyor und council, is to choose someone who will "net things done." Empire on Mr. Manson OH, YOU JUMPING JACKS! From the Empire of May 10th.i Why should the ritizens swallow a further dose, and how run this same bunch of jumping jacks square themselves in trying lo hoist Mr. Manson into a position of still greater power after so vehemently denouncing the influences which he failed to divide the House upon? In supporting Mr. Manson are they not lighting for the perpetuation of the | very principles which they have so roundly condemned? And how can the Rupert public place any reliance in such fluctuating and insincere utterances, or in any recommendations they muy choose to mukc. The only surprising feature of thc situation is that Mr. Manson has not the good sense to keep free from such somcrsaulters, instead of plunging into this seething cauldron. Of course he has hope" of being able to subdue the local revolt, but he hus only partially succeeded. 1- Centre Street PHONE 115 FIRE PANIC IN MERICAN CHURCH SEVENTEEN KILLED, EIGHTY INJURED IN STAMPEDE Fire Alarm Given During Service and People Made a Mad Rush for the Exit—Women Were Trampled Under Foot. (Special to the Optimist) Mexico City, Jan. 4.—Seventeen dead and eighty injured.fThat is the casualty list which resulted from a panic in a San Luis church on the ringing of the fire alarm. Service was being held at the time someone gave the alarm. Immediately the congregation stampeded madly for the door. In the terrible unreasoning crush the weaker were strampled under foor and killed. The people were completely mad till they reached the open air and then discovered that there was no fire. The victims of the panic were mostly women. Several young girls and men ure also included in the death roll.

Mr. Patmore asked that a remand of eight days be granted to let him prepare his case and summon witnesses now out of town. Magistrate Carss said a formal adjournment for seven days was all that was necessary if Mr. Mobley and his counsel were agreeable. At first Mr. Manson was inclined to object to the delay, but on the understanding that the case would not be kept back more than was absolutely necessary, he Four Dead Bodies Were Removed From the Debris—Special Train and Twenty Nurses Despatched to Scene of Di.a.ter. 'Special to thc Optimist"! Spokane. Jan. 4.—Two Northern Pacific passenger trains collided at Cheney this morning. Four dead bodies have already been taken from the debris. Immediately the news of the disaster was rushed through a relief train with twenty nurses was made up and despatched with all possible speed and a right of way to the scene. The trains colliding are numbers 2 and 40. The number 2 is thc North Coast Limited, the crack train of the Northern Pacific line. Details of the disaster are still lacking but the dead and injured will probably be an extensive one. For a time there was great danger that the wreckage would ignite and thus destroy sny chance of rescuing the injured. A large staff of men and nurses iB now engaged in removing thc bodies and attending to the injured. How the collision occurred is not definitely known. A misleading signal is believed to have caused the disaster. THE WEATHER Tweaty-four hours ending 5 a. m. January 4. ■ AX. TSHP. MIN. Tl:_r. BAR. IN.

I should say so. Do you know for days at a time we couldn't take our after dinner siesta on account of the peculiar noises?" "What noises?" asked the blond stenographer innocently. "Why, the coffee popping on the trees. You see, the sun was so hot the grains just roasted before they were picked. " The old traveller yawned. "Rather warm down here, bub," he rejoined, laconically, "but when I was down there you couldn't sleep at night. Every once in a while there would sound the most extraordinary crackling noise that ever fell upon the human ear." "What were the sounds, Mr. Bings?" And Mr. Bings yawned again and replied: "The rubber trees stretching themselves."

J: would take a long -t* :o start up the sewer plans, yet tfce rounc.. »a* already at work or. then-. Before ner year is out the system -ill be well started and funds raised. Regarding finances Alderman Pattullo expressed the opinion that Prince Rupen is in a very strong position. The Bank oi Montreal was interested in the city now to the amount of $500.- 000. and would have to boost the city's flotation of stock in the world's markets. Who Delayed the Light "One of the most difficult problems the council had to face." said Alderman Pattullo. "was tbe lighting problem. To put the proposition or. a paying basis was the problem. As for tbe delay rf there was any delay it was due to Alderman Smith »ho as chairman of the committee kept wanting the matter adjourned. When the other members of the committee took tbe matter ir. hand it »as quickly started in earnest. Now the light is nearly here." went on Alderman Pattullo. "and 1 ha-e no doubt indeed that if Mr Manson were elected Mayor we should have light right away—no- that the work is done. But he would want the credit for soing it." Assessment Again Alderman Pattullo referred to the G. T. P. assessment which Mr. Mansor. had said Mr. Cuthbert had done very- well. "Certainly for some people he did very well " said Aiderman Pattullo. "I could show you a lot belonging to the G. T. P. Development company a.s»essed a: 110 and within thirty feet of it one otherw.se owned, which is _.<-*ssed _: $250. And H WM Mr. Mansor. who submitted Mr. Cuthber.. name to the charter committee Mr. Manson has more partisanship ia his heart than he has tbe interests of the , City of Pnr.ce Rupert, as was proved ,b> his behavior a: Victoria." About the Machine Recalling tbe affair of the Licer.se By-law Alderman Pattullo declared that Aldermar, Hilditch and Aldermar. Si tl had stuck out for a system of machine rule. "There are some fire Mpd-MM of machine rule men here." he said, sweeping a glance round tbe piatform. "You kno» perfectly -ell tha: Jack Kirkpatrick and II. M. Stephens had no intention of going up for aldermen until this matter came up 1 have a friendly rtftrc 'or them both." he added, "but I do think that they will probably use tbeif aldermanic position for party purposes." Eight Hour Day. 13 A questioner rose :r. the hall asking if .: »ere customary m Canada thst -hen tbe cit irens endorsed a policy ;: should be earned out. Alderman Pa::ul o-I think so. Quest ionsr—Did you carry out tbe policy of an eight hour day for IS m c :y »ork? Aldermar. Pattullo—Tbe city council has ansolutely lived up to this in framing their contracts but if you want me to :r._: nay man has not a perfert ngbt to oo at be likes after his eigh: hours are 'nished thee 1 mil; never do it. 1 mould rather go do-n to defeat than do anything that mould ir.:erfere with the liberty of the subject to. W;:r. which incident Aldermar. Tat- lullo's address closed Faint Praise for Council Mr W. S. Benson was a.so trepared to vote for Mr Manson because he thought he <»a* tbe best man m the field. He thought tfctjr »anted a whole ■ .'-ore the Provir. ._. Government ._»: at this : me tad kt would say the same thing even if they had a Liberal administration at Victor».

Con: m ng Mr. Benson did not think -Mr Mobley _at endomed with the frr-crdr.-ry ability tha: some people were ivl.r.ed to credit him with. He also thought that Mr M. M. Stephens •rt. H-■,•_'.■._« ;'. ?:_:.r.r that they »ere r.o- ;r. Lb* han.s cf the Bank of Jj >»l He _a____Kj to think the M city oouncl of Pr.rce Rurber and represented that city for two years while he was in Prince Rupert. A voice interrupted withi "Tell us mhat you are going to do?" "Certainly." returned Mr. Stephens, "one thing that I shall do if elected is to endeavor to place the offices of this city in an efficient manner, and the first thing I shall do will be to ask for the resignation of tbe city solicitor if it if not in already." Mr. Stephen. Cot Heckled Mr W. E. Williams, of the legal firm of Williams & Manson rose in the body of the hall to ask Mr. Stephens to define the ground of his objection to the present city solicitors. "Well. I think the city requires the services o! men. not youngsters," he started to say. when the meeting suddenly livened up. There were cries of "Rotten"; "The boys can do the work all right". "Were you never young yourself?" and Mr. Stephens changed his tactics. To several specific charges of incompetent legal advice. Mr. Williams gave a straight denial. Mr. Stephens then said he thought the solicitors were paid too much for the services they rendered. An Amu.ing Break The last speaker for the evening was Aldermar Hilditch. He announced himself as in favor of the candidature of Mr. Manson for Mayor. He deprecated the use of the argument that Mr. Manson wm unfit for the mayoral office on account of the fact that he would be away for two months of the year. "The Mayor is not the whole thing. If Mr. Manson went away for two months they would not even miss him." This slip |et him in for great merriment. Amused or Abused? Very briefly 0. W. Kerr announced his candidature. "We have all been amused and some ot us have been abused." he said, "t'nlike Mr. Kirkpatrick 1 cannot win votes by my good looks nor my pretty speeches. But 1 • ill do my best for the city if elected, and I hope to have your support." The meeting closed artth cheers for Manson and counter cheers for Mobley. 9*4 4 ♦ J ♦ For Men Only ♦♦»! 1 Are you doing; your duty by your family:.
