Alderman Clayton, the chairman of the light and telephone committee was again in his place at the council board last night. The presentation of flattering reports as to the two departments called forth words of explanation from the returned chairman. It was shown that there were 5 33 phones in use-at the end of March, showing a net profit of over $2,1000. In the matter of the electric lighting a report showed that for three months there had been a profit of $1,469. Alderman Clayton was pleased to see the balance on the right side. Alderman Morrissey took occas- sion to express his gratification that these reports came down in»such good shape. They were not cooked. It was shown that $2,38 a yard was what was being paid to get out rock. Alderman Maitland said that it had been shown that day labor was being done in the best method yet in the city. Alderman Morrissey said that he did not oppose day labor. All he contended was that whatever the citizens wanted they should get. Cheap Power A report from the superintendent of lighting stated that power could be supplied consumers for power at 9 cents net per kilowatt hour. Alderman Clayton said that this came in as what would be regarded as an extraordinary report. The engineer felt that later it might be found that 8 cents, would be possible. There might be a reduction in the price to consumers of large amounts of power. A contract was being arranged with the government wharf. The contractor for the G. T. P. work was waiting from fifty to one hundre horsepower. If these were furnished it would mean the plant would be kept going at its capacity. Alderman Douglas wanted to know what was charged in other places He did not think it was wise to start off too low. Alderman Montgomery did not approve of giving the government a cut rate. It was the fashion to charge the government higher rates. Alderman Morrissey wanted to know what reserve power would be kept for the city for extensions pending the time when the hydro-electric would be completed. Alderman Clayton said that provision was made by which Individual consumers would be safeguarded. The matter of the exact rate will remain over. HOSPITAL W0RKFIGHT HOME RULE Ladies of the City Organize an Auxiliary in Connection with Prince Rupert Hospital. Officers Selected to Act in the Reorganized Body—Co-operation of All Is Asked by Association A ladies' auxiliary connected witli tlie Prince Rupert General ospital has been organized. It is expected that there will be a general rallying of the ladies of the city to the new organization and that it will shortly become one of the most active organizations in the city. The meeting for the purpose of effecting the organization was held in the police court rooms yesterday afternoon. D. G. Stewart, the president of the hospital, presided at the opening and In his introductory remarks expressed the pleasure he had at welcoming the ladies al Ibis gathering, e said that lie felt It was a proper move for the women of the city and he hoped that there would be a generally rallying to the work. He called upon William .Manson to address the meeting. Mr. Manson said thai there was a work in connection with the hospital that the ladies. There was aii Impression prevailing thai the government and the city should maintain Hie hospital. This was perhaps correct In one way but in another way Is was nol expected that ihe philanthropic should be debarred from assisting in such" a work. The organization of such a body as this was important in other ways also. In addition to the financial aid that they were able to give there was the sympathy for the institution that grew out of it and this was really of more importance to the instiution than was the aid in the way of money. r Mr. Stewart, before proceeding to the general business, outlined the work that had been done by the former auxiliary. There had been over $2 000 raised by that organization and devoted to hospital work. The organization had done excellent service and It was a pity that It had to be allowed to disband. The ladles had (lone good service but it was felt by them that the work was faU'ng to heavily upon a few and Bonar Law Unionist Leader Makes At tack Upon the Government of Today.

He said the government had sold the constitution, and also themselves. They thought they had sold the people of Ulster, "but you are not theirs to sell," he added.

Morrissey for Part Next Meeting of the Council-Resolution Received from the Social and Moral Reform League in Connection with the Time for Closing at Night. The city council will take up the question of shortening the hours for the sale of liquor In the licensed houses. Notice of motion in this direction was given last night and an amendment to the bylaw will probably be introduced next Monday evening. The action is taken on the request of the Moral and Social Reform Association which presented a resolution last night suggesting that the hour for closing should be 10 o'clock In the evening except on Saturday night, when it should bo 9 o'clock. The request was made by Rev. W. F. Kerr, who was accompanied by a committee consisting of Rev. Mr. Rushbrook, and Mr. Davidson, secretary of the association. The following resolutions were presented from the association: "That the council respectfully suggest the appointment of a committee looking to the early furnishing of the library and reading room in the new city hall." "That the council put on record its hearty and unanimous approval of the action of the mayor by himself—and also in conjunction with the licence and police commissions— in their endeavors for the moral welfare of the city." "Resolved, That this meeting of the Moral and Reform Council of Prince Rupert, while in favor of the early closing bylaw now before the city council, is strongly of the opinion that tile licensed liquor business should also be included in this movement for earlier closing, otherwise a most unfair advantage is given to a special trade which does not tend to promote the welfare of the community; and "That this meeting respectfully requests the cily council to amend the present liquor bylaw so that the hour for closing ail places licensed to sell intoxicating liquor shall be 10 o'clock In the evening of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and 9 o'clock in the evening of Saturday of each week." Rev. Mr. Kerr in support of these painted out that the council had recently provided for the early closing of the general business. The trend of events was in favor of earlier closing of bars. It was felt that it was not wise to take around a petition asking for the change because petitions could be signed by many without due consideration being given. He did not urge immediate action, stating that the most that could be expected was a notice of motion In Ihe matter. Alderman Clayton, dealing with reference to the opening of a reading room, said that it had been lulled to his attention the lack of amusement for boys between 10 and 14 years years, lie thought something might lie done to provide tor something along this line :i lew nights each week. Alderman Morrissey Bald he had! the highest regard for these clergymen. The tradespeople petitioned to i have their hours shortened. The people in these obnoxious callings j asked for the lengthening of the hours. He referred to the objectionable places in the city where liquor was sold. If they cut down the hours of these people who paid license they were going to drive those who sought liquor to get it In these objectionable places. One or two clergymen should not expect to stampede the council into action along this line. Alderman Montgomery said he would stop the manufacture ol liquor if he could. For the amount of revenue derived from licensed houses it would be better lo close them altogether. He did not believe In taking any revenue from these places. He agreed with all these requests. He j ° would have them go farther and I cat n( the Royal Cafe have reforms introduced as to prisoners' quarters. He would like these, petitioners to go over to the city hall and see the quarters provided for the prisoners and see if they were designed to lift them up. Alderman Clayton said he was not prepared to be stampeded into action. He did not believe in a snap judgment being given. He did not pretend to be a total abstainer. The payer of a high license was called upon to equip his house in good shape and provide for the public. In spite of all these restrictions put upon the license holders they seemed to prosper. He would like to look into this matter quite fully before taking a vote. He wished the mayor should appoint a committee of citizens or call a public meeting to deal with this before a vote was taken. Alderman Morrissey said he would be prepared to have those who sought the shortening of the hours bring in a petition. The other should also bring one and let the matter be weighed and the true opinion of the public be obtained. Alderman Dybhavn was in sympathy with the requests. He did not place much reliance upon petitions. He was a supporter of early closing in these houses. The earlier the closing the better. If they waited for the licensees to petition for a shortening of the hours they "would have to sit there a long time." Alderman Kerr thought It was a great question. There were two sides to this. Whether early closing would affect blind pigs was hard to say. He favored postponing this until notice of motion was given,' Alderman Douglas was not a believer In the use of liquor. He had voted In favor of the Scott Act. The majority voted otherwise. The hotels: should be run according to law. He favored postponing action until a notice of motion was given. The mayor said he was not stating that he favored any particular action. He said that he would not raise any objection to a motion going through. He was not influencing the council. Any action could be taken by the council. Alderman Morrissey thought that due notice should be given. Alderman Bullock-Webster felt that the hours for selling liquor could very well be shortened. It would be a benefit to the citizens as a whole. Rev. Mr. Kerr said that he had only asked that a notice of motion be made. He did not want any unfair advantage. As to the challenge of Alderman Morrissey with respect to getting petitions lie would nol have anything t" do with it. The hitelmen were vitally Interested mid hud money at stake in the matter, On the other sldo. they had nol the time to spend on this. Alderman Montgon cry ga\ e notice ' of motion thai he would move in the direction of amending the liquor by-1 law by providing for earlier closing. | BAZAAR, CONCERT, BABY SHOW The ladies of the Baptist Church will hold a bazaar in Mclntyre Hall on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 9 and 10, at 2:30 to (I p. m., showing all kinds of plain and fancy sewing for infants, children, ladies and gentlemen; home cooking and candies, all at reasonable prices.

Taken in the Late Campaign in Provincial Politics—How Different Members View the Whole Situation as it Affected their Positions. The late election campaign was again introduced into.the council as a subject of discussion last night. It came up on the Initiative of Alderman Montgomery, who, speaking on a matter of privilege, objected to the language used by the News that night in stating that the council was elected on the distinct understanding that they would not take any part in party politics. He denied he had absented himself from his duties at the council. The mayor said that lie announced his intention of giving an unpartisan spirit in connection with civic affairs. If the News or anyone else could show wherein he had deviated from that he would like to be shown. The members of the council had a right to hold what opinions they liked as to religion or as to politics. Alderman Douglas agreed that Al-1 derman Montgomery had not absent- j ed himself from council meetings. He had done his duty. The mem- ( bers of the council could hold opinions such as they thought fit. Alderman Morrissey objected to the action of tiie mayor In taking the prominent part he had in support, of one candidate—after getting the vole from another political party. That was paying but little compliment to the other party. The mayor said that, he would like Alderman Morrissey or anyone else to show where he had acted in a partisan spirit in transacting city business. Alderman Morrissey alluded to the mayor's paper. He said it had taken an independent stand all along, but in the late election it had come out strongly partisan. He said that never had the Empire been as partisan a paper as it was in this last election. The mayor said that he had said his public acts would lie non-partisan. He believed every member of tho board had a right to be a citizen in the broadest sense of the word. Alderman Kerr contended that the discussion was out of order and the matter dropped. ODD FELLOWS ATTENTION A social evening will be held on Tuesday, the ninth of April, at which all members of the order ffre requested to attend. Members are invited to bring their ladies.

LOSSES FROM STRIKE Many Millions of Dollars Diverted From Circulation as a Result of the Trouble. Railways suffered Loss to (lie Extent ol $14,000,000 During the Cessation of Work London, April 9.—The Home Rule struggle, which bids fair to revive all the animosities of Gladstonlan times, will open this week with the presentation of the Home RuleBill In Parliament mi Thursday.

He has with him no less than sixty-nine members of the Unionist party, and at the Ulster province declared opened In Ulster province demonstration today will be declared openly the programme of the Unionist campaign against the government policy in regard to the bill.

Advertising Hales Upon Application. Wednosday, April mi: CANNOT AGREE Rev. Mr. Kerr, at the meeting of the Social and Moral Reform Council last evening, took occasion to find fault with the Journal for not backing u]i the mayor of the city in his latest fancy—that of acting as director general of the police and chief detective. Mr. Kerr thinks that even if the course of the mayor is one not to be endorsed that neverthe'ess because it shows an interest in the matter of enforcement of the law it Is to lie approved. We differ entirely with Mr. Kerr. The action of the mayor in connection with this very question is, we believe, calculated to work In the very opposite direction. An instance of this occurred in the police court yesterday, when one of the women against whom an information was laid as a result of the raid last Thursday night was acquitted on the ground that there was no evidence to convict her of selling liquor. Now, the raid was a spectacular one. It showed on the outside that there was lots doing. In real practical results, there was little to be seen. A loud raid may look like doing a lot but in reality il means that nothing is accomplished. Without sufficient evidence, the accused are brought inlo court and acquitted, with the result that the denizens of these districts are given another lesson as to how far they can go without fear of conviction. In the hands of an experienced police officer the work would be accomplished in a much less spectacular way but with better results. Unless the work is properly directed it is better to leave these people alone until sufficient evidence is obtainable against them. But Mr. Kerr does not express his opinion with respect to the action of the polico commissioners in enacting that there shall be a restricted dis^ trict in the city. Surely, he does not approve of a course like that It is surely a bad advertisement to Prince Rupert. At the present time there are, it is saic,. more living within the district than there has been al any time for many months. iVe fall to see how the course that has been followed can be regarded as anything but a backward step in the matter of moral reform. Women are given official sanction to be in the district. That surely gives the settlemenl a dignity that mosl of citizens would not be willing to iccord it. One week these people are told thai they may remain where they inc. The next week the sanic authorities raid them. One week they arc told thai they must not go Into lintels. The nexl ui ek thai restriction is lined and they are ai liberty to no Into any dining room i" the city, we are satisfied thai If Vtr, Kerr were sjiwn the powei I il lib. the proposition it would nol he handled In the manner In i ii Is being exuerhne d «Itli present t Ime. passed that the News .lost all faith in the Progressives. It is even reported that at one stage of the game negotiations of a most friendly character were under way between this body and the Liberal party and an alliance against the Conservatives was well hatched. The honor for the main part in the negotiations is now magnanimously passed from each side to the other, neither wanting to be held responsible. When the News hints that the Journal finds fault with tho mayor because we wish to see "local laws enforced with reference to party affiliations," it is staling something that is absolutely incorrect, it is, moreover, illogical. There is no connection that we can see between the mayor in the role of a detective and the party. The Journal treats matters of local politics on their merits and from the standpoint of the best interests of the city of Prince Rupert. In spite of the loud protestations of the News with with respect to its Independence there is no one who does not know that that paper is entirely warped In its judgments and Is anything but independent.

As usual the mayor is not endorsed by them in their Btand. The attitude of tho critic Is, In tact, difficult to understand. Il Is a labored attempl to make political i apital oul of somel hing thai It cannot iiself conned up in that way. As ,i result, the criticism starts nowhere and ends after completing tho circle. As hum as the mayor played the game of the Liberal party In fostering the Progressives the News was well satisfied. That it says in as many words. There never was any doubt in the minds of the Conservatives of this city on thai point. Progressives were looked upon as allies of the Liberal party. It was when the likelihood of being able to use the Progressives in the late election BAPTIST BIG BAZAAR Sale of Work and Entertainment Is hi Progress in Mclntyre Hall The Baptist Church opened its big bazaar yesterday in Mclntyre Hall. Elaborate arrangements have been made for the event and a wide variety of booths are provided about the place. The general scheme of decoration and arrangement is worth a visit to the hall alone. But in addition to this there is an excellent supply of articles on sale. This afternoon one of the chief attractions will be the baby show at 4 o'clock, with a choice concert in the evening at 8 o'clock. The arrangements are perfect and yesterday the attendance was excellent. o No Evidence In Ihe police court yesterday morning one of the women arrested Thursday night came up for hearing on a charge of selling liquor. The case was dismissed. The mayor has ordered her to appear as a keeper. Alderman Kerr, at the council meeting last night, announced that within a short time there would be an abundance of light across Hays Creek. He slated that there would be an arc light placed on the bridge and there would b& others placed at Sixth and Ambrose, Sixth and Basil, and Hays Avenue and Conrad. This would give that section of the city all the light necessary. W. Sibbald and others asked for a hydrant to lie placed on Ninth Avenue. A light was also asked for there. It was explained that as far as tho light was concerned II would be forthcoming. The question of the hydrant was referred to the city engineer. o Daffodil Luncheon The ladles of the Anglican Church are going to provide a daffodil luuncheon in the church hall on Thursday, April 11, from 12 noon until 2 o'clock. The ladies will not serve daffodils at the table. Far from that. There will be nothing but home made dishes and In order to allow the business men no excuse for not patronizing them the service will be of the most expeditious character. The admission will be 50 cents each and the best of everything will be provided. The proceeds will be devoted to the building fund of the church. o IN THE SUPREME COURT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA &m&* TENDERS MORAL REFORMS Local Body Holds Annual Meeting and Elect Officers for the Ensuing Year.

Bveu if his mi th- ods were not approved of they should hack him up, because he felt he was trying to Introduce better conditions. He was making an effort to see thai the police enforced the law. The mayor had aroused interest In Ihe mallei- where the police had been negligent. He thought he should be supported In it. Mr. Ken- referred especially to Ihe prohibiting of miners from being found in the restricted district and the attempt to prevent the spread of disorderly characters through the city. The Bishop of Columbia agreed with this. Ho gave more attention, however, to the question of the early closing of the bars, which was the subject of a resolution which was carried.

FILIPPO PANVINI. ■ Dated February 6, 1912. m31 Significant evidence of active, railway construction on Vancouver Island has been forthcoming in the last few days, says a Victoria despatch. R. Marpole, general executive of the C. P. R., was in the city to arrange for the initiation of active construction work on the extension of the Vancouver Island division of the C. P. R. from the present terminus at Wellington to Campbell River and Hardy Bay. It is also announced that surveys are nearly completed by the field forces of the Canadian Northern Pacific and within six weeks tenders will be invited for construction northward from the present terminal of Island work on Barkley Sound to Comox and the north end of the island. In addition, the Northern Vancouver Island Railway—which holds a charter from the provincial Legislature granted during the session of 1911 for the construction of a line of railway from Rupert Arm, Quat- sino Sound, across the narrow neck of land Intervening, to Port McNeil and Port Hardy on the east coast, has decided to proceed immediately with this undertaking. It is now- arranging to send to the field forthwith a party, In charge of one of the most thoroughly competent railway engineers of the province, under Instructions to proceed with the surveys and the location of the line. The last mentioned railway will open up several extensive belts of splendid timber country, and it is understood will he primarily a logging road, serving large mills to be begun during the present season. At the same time great pains will be taken by the surveyors in laying out the line so that it may possess such gradients, curvatures and alignment as will permit of ils convenient conversion at any future time into a road In every way meeting the requirements of transcontinental traffic. Meanwhile it is understood that facilities will be provided for the handling of passengers and general freights from the inauguration of operation, a matter of immense moment in connection with the early development and speedy settlement of the west coast sections of the north end of the island, and of the district almost bisected by the deep indentation of Quatslno Sound and Its various extensions. Construction activities of the Canadian Northern Pacific on the island are much in evidence all along the line of advance. The grade is being rushed to the 100-mile post with all possible rapidity, and the construction camps are strung out between Victoria and Cowichan Lake with Inn few and short intervening spaces. The announcement by the heads of the company that the contract for building on to Comox and the north end of the Island will be let within ihe coming six weeks is proof positive of ihe enthusiasm with which the Mackenzie ,& Mann transcontinental forces are pushing their race with the C. P. R. toward the ultimate goal.
