Benson,\nwill go down on record as one ot the\nmost bungling affairs of the kind ever\noccurring in the criminal annalB of\nthe Dominion. The executioner cut\nthe body down before life was extinct,\nand the unhappy man died of partial\ndislocation of the neck and strangulation, in the presence of the shocked\nofficials. For a few moments it looked as though the gruesome work would\nhave to be done all over again, but\nfinally, and mercifully, the end came\nand the awful ordeal was over.\nThe official version of the fiasco Is\nfound in the coroner's verdict:\n\"We find that Jasper Collins died\nin Calgary on February 17, at the barracks of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, as a result of partial dislocation of the neck and suffocation,\ncaused by being hanged by the neck\nfollowing the sentence of death passed\nupon the said Jasper Collins in the\nsupreme court of Alberta.\n\"We further desire to add that, in\nour opinion, the sentence of the court\nwas not carried out, owing to the fact\nthat the said Jasper Collins was not\nhanged by the neck until he was dead,\nbut was, contrary to the sentence of\nthe court, cut down by the executioner\nbefore life was extinct.\n\"We further desire to express our\ndissatisfaction with the manner in\nwhich the execution was carried out\nby tlie hangman, and we feel that in\nthe interests of justice and of the\npublic weal, there should be an investigation so that Suture executions may\nbe carried out properly.\n\"We further desire to add that we\ndo not, in any way, censure any other\nofficials.\"\nTo the surprise of the officials, to\nwhom he had given much trouble during tlie past two months, Collins went\nto his death bravely. He was weak\nfrom his month of illness, ana immediately took his seat in the arm chair\nwhich was placed directly over the\ngallows trap. At 8:03 the trap was\nsprung, fivo minutes later the executioner cut the body down and the attending physician, with his finger on\nthe dying man's pulse, did not pronounce him dead until 8:20.\nCollins slept poorly and was awake\nearly. After a fairly good breakfast\nho wrote a short letter to his mother\nin Missouri, bidding her and his family an affectionate farewell.\nJust before 8 o'clock the sheriff visited him and officially advised him to\nprepare to die. A few minutes after\nS o'clock the march to the gallows\nstarted, Collins talking to his spiritual\nadviser as lie walked along between\nhis guards. The rest of the story hn\u00ab\nto do with clumsiness of tho work of\nthe hangman, as told by tho verdict of\nthe coroner's jury.\nMurderer! Benefactor.\nIt is now about two years since the\nfirst events which led up to the crime\nfor which William Jasper Collins has\nbeen executed took place. This was\ndown in Brnymer, Mo., where the Collins family, who were ne'er-do-wells,\nlived on the outskirts of the village.\nTiie father was dead, the mother and\nthree children lived In a hand to\nmouth fashion: little or no money was\nspent for education and it is a question if there would have heen much\nspent had the desire for an education\nbeen present, for there was none.\nCollins was charged with crime and.\nfriendless and alone, did not appear\nto have much chance of escaping a\nlong period iu prison at tile behest of\na southern jury, with whom honor to\nwomen is a cardinal principle\u2014and\ntiie crime with which Collins was\ncharged was In connection with his\nown sister.\nJohn P. Bengon defended the box-\nin the trial thftt followed and secured\nhis nctjtiittal; About this time Benson\ndecided to come to Alberta and invited Collins to accompany him and make\nhis home With him. This he did, the\ntwo taking up homesteads near Cereal, Alta. Benson .was In the habit\nof carrying about his money with him.\nsometimes having as high as several\nthousand dollars on his person. On\nMay 2, while he and Benson were\nalone, CollinB murdered his benefactor\nfor his money and set fire to the Benson dwelling to conceal the crime.\nCollins took the money and fled, finally arriving at his Missouri home\nThere he began to spend money lavishly and this brought about his arresl\non suspicion. After he had heen lh\njail for a short time he confessed, and\nwas brought to Alberta for trial.\nRADIUM IN NEW ZEALAND'\nCHRISTCHURCH. N.

Too much aeid first produces\ndyspepsia and indigestion; next the\nstomach walls become, irritated and\ntt is only u short time until <t eats\nthrough the walls, causing ulcers in\nthe abdomen, which In turn are followed by cancer and death; therefore\nstomach sufferers are required to\navoid eating food that Is acid in its\nnature, or which by chemical action iu\nthe stoinuch develops acidity. Unfortunately, such ;i rule eliminates\nmost foods which arc pleasant to thc\ntaste \"S well as those which are rich\nin blood, flesh und nerve building\nproperties. This Is the reuson Whv\ndyspeptics and stomach sufferers are\nusually so lacking in that vital energy\nwhich can only come from a well-fed\nbody. For thc benefit of thost- sufferers who have been obliged to exclude from their diet ull starchy,\nsweet or fatty food, and are ti'yiiie- to\nkeep up a misenuble existence on gluten products, I would suggest that you\ntry a meal of any food or foods which\nyou may like in moderate amount,\ntaking immediately afterwards a tea-\nspoonful of iblsurate'd magnesia-In a\nlittle hot or cold water. This wili\nneutralize any acid which may be\npresent, or which may ibe formed, and\nInstead of the usual fecnng of uneasiness and fullness you will find that\nyour food agrees with you perfectly.\nBisurated magnesia is -doubtless the\nbeat food corrective and antacid\nknown. Drugs only upset the stomach. BlsurMed magnesia bas no direct action on the stomach; but by\nneutralizing the acidity of the food\ncontents, and thus removing the\nsource of the acid lrrltutlon which inflames the delicate stomach lining, .it\ndoes more than could possibly be done\nby any drue-. As a physician I ne-\nlleve In the use of medicine wl.e i\nnecessary, tout I cannot see the sense\nof dosing an Inflamed and irritated\nstomach w.'tll drugs instead of getting rid of the acid\u2014tho cause of\nall the trouble Get a little btsura fed\nmagnesia from your druggist, eat what\nyou want at your next meal, take\nsome of the bisurated magnesia as\n-directed above, and you will find you\nwill sleep well and the usual belching,\nigiis, sour stomach, bloutlng.

Price Ellison, minister of\nfinance, In presenting his hill to the legislature yesterday for a loan of ten\nmillion dollars, placed the situation\nfairly before the people of British Columbia. If the province is to he developed money is necessary for that\npurpose. Owing to conditions which\nexist at the present day that money ts\nnot immediately available from current revenue. The question for the\ngovernment to decide is whether that\nmoney shall be raised otherwise or\nwhether the government's policy of\ndevelopment shall he arrested and expenditures looking toward this end\ndelayed.\nThere will be general agreement\nwith the decision of the government\nto supply, even through the rulsttig\nof a loan, the money necessary for\nthe development of the province.\nBritish Columbia is a rich and a great\nprovince, but its development presents\nproblems which are unknown in the\nthree prairie provinces to the east and\nwhich have been faced in years gone\nby in that part of Canada lying east\nof the great lakes.\nAt the same time the fact must be\nremembered that in the case of British Columbia the government is not\nissuing bonds which will be a charge\non the future without there heing\nsome provision for their liquidation.\nThe government has introduced a policy of conservation of natural resources the benefit of which will he\nfelt in the years to come aud which\nwill aBBist materially in the retirement of the bonds which it Is proposed to issue. Tho government is\nlooking to the future, not to the present. It believes in the future of Brit\nIsh Columbia and is prepared, to bar-\nrow money in the markets of tin\nworld with which to hasten that future, knowing that as a result of its\naction the development of British Columbia will be accelerated and that\nthe consequent development of the\nprovince's resources will provide the\nmoney to retire the bonds which it Is\nnow proposed to Issue und also others\nwhich it may he necessary to issue In\nyears to come.\nNo one who has faith In British\nColumbia and her future can object\nto tbe Issuing of bonds for the pur\npose of raising money to be used iu\nthe development of the province's resources. Anyone who does so thereby\ndeclares his belief that the resources\nof British Columbia are not worth the\nprice of development.\nWho Is there In Biitish Columbia\nwith so little faith in the province?\nLet him declare himself and let the\npeople of British Columbia judge him\naccordingly.\nA   DIAGNOSIS.\nBewildered by the ubiquity of the\ntango and the \"trot,\" confused by the\ncries of their defenders that tbey are\nbut an impression of rhythmic\nrighteousness, dazed by the. screams\nof their assailants that they are nothing by syncopated sin, we turn for information and relief to the encyclopedia, says the Montreal -Mail. There\nwe find the following under the heading \"Dancing Disease\":\nAn epidemic nervous disorder,\napparently allied to hysteria and\nchorea, occasionally prevalent in\nGermany and Italy during the mid- -\ndie ages. As It has been in every\nInstance chiefly propagated hy\nphysical contagion, like chorea,\nthere is every reason to conclude\nthat it had a like origin. In 1734,\nduring the celebration of the festival of St. John at Alx-la-Chapelle,\nthe streets became crowded with\nmen and women of all ranks and\nages who commenced dancing In a\nwild and rrantlc manner, many losing entire control of themselves\nnnd continuing to dance until\ndropping down from fatigue. The\nmania spread to Cologne. Metz\nund Strasshurg, and gave rise to\nmuch imposture, profligacy and\ndisorder.\nThis must be the gruesome explanation. Where we thought we were\nbeing ravished by the beauties of a\ndance we are being ravaged by the\nterrors of a disease. We are a world\nsaltatory invalids.

Take Dr. Mercier's own\nexamples of great undersized men.\nOne can argue from them tn the opposite direction. For instance, Napoleon was a little man who ended ln\nfailure on the little island of St. Helena, put there by the thin red line\nwhich was composed of big men physically. But let us come to the present\nday, and what do we find?

Let us start at Montreal\nand come west. Without fear of contradiction I state that the man who\nfor the past 15 years or more has\nbeen the greatest man in Montreal is\nMr. R. B. Angus. As a financier he\nstands first; as a director of the great\nest corporation in the world\u2014the Canadian Pacific railway\u2014he stands\nfirst; as a man of general knowledge\nand all-round reliability and ability he\nstands first; as a man of strict Integrity and unspotted character and\nreputation he stands sect nd to none,\nund notwithstanding his now advancing years his faculties remain unimpaired. In phyaiquahe Is one of the tallest and most symmetrically proportioned men to be met with anywhere. Take\nthe directorate of the Canadian Pacific railway. Or survey them together, the general Impression they give\nis that of a body of big men physically. The Canadian Northern railway\nsystem is considered as the greatest\nachievement of any two Individuals,\nand both Mackenzie and .Maun are\nvery large men physically. In.Toronto the lute Senator Cox held the most\nprominent position for many years as\npresident of the Canada Life Assurance company, the Canadian Rank of\nCommerce and other concents too numerous to mention. By his own exertions and ability he rose from the\nposition of a telegraph operator, and\nhe was well over six feet In height.\nIn Winnipeg the man who directed\nthe policy of the Canadian Pacific\nrailway from the great lakes to the\nPacific and who did more to make\nwestern Canada what it is today than\nany other one man, is William Whyte,\nwho Ib also physically a ery big man.\nIn fact, in looking over the men of\naffairs in Canada, England and the\nUnited States of today one ran find\nstronger evidence against Dr, Mercier's theories than in favor of them\nA genius Ib often far from being a\nperson one should wish to emulate,\nbecause in the abnormal development\nof his or her one talent many of the\nmost desirable traits have been\npoveriBhed and they are left really unbalanced individuals, like Bobbie\nBurns, the poet, or coming down to\nmodern times, Blind Tom, the most\ngifted musician, whose ability and performances almost reached the supernatural, but who when all was summed\nup apart from his wonderful musical\ngift was only a poor idiot.\nJAMES JOHNSTONE.\nNelson, B.

Pitchblende contains often\nliO per cent of Uranium, while the minerals now being looked to for the increased supplies of radium frequently\ncontain only 1 or 2 per cent. The radium is present in the sani0 relative\nproportions, and carnotite and outu-\naite may contain as little as five milligrams of radium to the ton of ore.\nThe value of radium is hardly Intrinsic in the fullest sense; It depends\non the expenses of treating the mass\nof mineral with which it is associated.\nTlie mere fact that it may take 10 or\n12 months or more to obtain pure\nradium .bromide from the ore alone\nIndicates the high cost of treatment.\nWhile, also, there is such a deplorable\nshortage of radium, many countries\nare willing to pay almost any price in\norder to obtain the priority of delivery.\nIt is hardly just, writes a well-known\nradium chemist, to put the blame on\nthose responsible for preparing tlie\nradium, hut it is reasonable to hope\nfor a reduction in prico when means\nhave.been improved for the treatment\nof the low-grade minerals. In treating\nthese poorer grade ores the proportion\nof radium to the total mass is so\nminute that it requires the greatest\nskill ana. efficiency to avoid losing\nmost of it In the ordinary works losses.\nSkilled operators, expensive machinery and the length of the various processes Involved are alone responsible\nfor the greater part of the expense,\nthough the attention of many scientific men is at the present moment\nbeing directed to means of reducing\nthe length and number of the operations.\nSHIP OWNERS WANT LIGHT\nON  NO  MAN'S LAND\n(By Dally News Leased Wire)\nPROVIDENCE, R.

I saw In the pure\ncountry air, laden with the perfume\ncf millions of blossoms, the actors rehearsing, much like tlio scene in 'A\nMidsummer Night's Dream,' where\nNick Bottom, the weaver, and his\nhorny-handed friends, citizens of Athens, retire to the wood to rehearse\nthe tragedy of Pynimus and Tliisbe,\nto lie performed on the duke's wedding\nday at. night,\" says William Sauter.\n\"Better ucquninLince with the orchard players, however, demonstrated\nthat they aro by no means as rustic\nas the name would imply. On the\ncontrary, they are polished men and\nwomen, accustomed to the life of cities\nwho sought In the quiet of the Okanagan valley to find now strength and\nheultth, a saner outlook upon life, and\nthat deeper insight which comes from\nmeditation and work close to the soil,\"\nWilliam Sauter, the man who conceived the idea of the Orchard Players, and who will produco bhe plays,\nas well as playing \u00bb prominent part\nIn the different productions, has won\nhis theatrical spurs With such notables as Sir J. Forbes-Robertson, H. S.\n-jVillard, James K. Ilackett, Eleanor\nRobson and William Terrls.\nMr. Sauter Is a young man and an\nenthusiast, but his enthusiasm is governed,, by practicality and experience.\nHe has been a resident of British. Columbia for the past three years, and\nsees an opportunity in this province\nfor a company of actors of ideals, presenting the plays the people want In\ntheir entirety, with every \"advantage in\nthe way of adequate scenic environment, costuming and stage direction.\n\"Several of the Orchard Players\nhave their own orchards, some are incidentally connected with fruit growing, while other work out on a hired\nman's wage. In the winter -Uie fruil\ngrower has a lot of time on his hands\nwhich Is often utterly wasted for lack\nof something worth while to do. Our\nidea,\" continued Mr. Sauter, \"is ta\nutilize that spare time, thereby affording the people generally an opportunity of seeing good plays presented by\nactors of talent and training,\n\"The actor in order to project the\ncharacter ihe is playing across the\nfootlights should live as close to nature as possible, in order that he may\nInfuse his roles with that sincerity\nand virility which makes the puppets\nof the dramatist actually live their\nbrief hour upon the boards. The combination of fruit-growing and acting,\ntherefore, ls an admirable one.\n\"My idea in organizing the Orchard\nPlayers and placing ihe enterprise\nupon a business basis,\" says Mr. Sauter, \"wns to provide British Columbia\nwith a permanent company capable\nof giving first-class prodiietiona of the\n\u00a3ltyi,,wjti<jli appeal mos|t to our -people, ' I\n\"Under the present regime we depend almost entirely upon, the judgment of eastern managers for our attractions, the result being Hint many\nof the better playB are rarely, If ever,\nBeen In the west. My idea is to give\nour patrons what they want In the\nway of dramatic fare, and during our\ncoming tour ohe public will be Invited\nto vote rin a long list of dramas.\nThose plays which make the strongest appeal to our audiences will be\nproduced by us during the succeeding\nseason.\"\n\"Do you expect to present many\nplays each season, Mr. Sauter?\" was\nthe next question asked.\n\"No. In my opinion weeks of study\nand rehearsal are necessary to produce any drama that is worth- while.\nPor that reason we shall lital-t our\nrepfertoire to a few plays, endeavoring\nto slve a smooth, well-rounded Pre-\nsenlatlaiu-coniplete in every detail of\nbusiness.\" \u25a0\nMr. Sauter is fortunate in having\nassociated With him in this enterprise\nmen -ami .women who are imbued with\nthe 'best traditions of tiie theatre, having tefteivedi their training with some\nof .the, greatest actors and actresses\nwho ever trod the boards.\n'She leading lady is Miss Dora Rig-\nnold, daughter of the well-known actor, Wjlliafa Rigiiold, who will be remembered for her engagement with\nSir Herbert Tree at His Majesty's in\n\"Pinkie dhd the Fairies.\" and) \"Juliet,\"\nin Australia and ia Loudon. Alias Rig.\nnoltk-has also supimrted such favorites.as Sir John Hare. Sir George Alexander and H. B, Irving.\nAnother member is Arthur L.\nSoflntes, who was associated with\nLewis Waller, witli Cyril Maude, with\nPeitfey in \"Charley's Aunt,\" with Lady\nBancroft, and with the famous Lyceum\nand -Haymarket companies. He also\nsuccessfully toured Australia.\nL. Race Dunrobfn is another prominent member of tlie Orchard Playefa.\nMr. Dunroblit is remembered by many\nLondon theatre-goers through his association with such favorites aa Uie\nlate Henry Irving, Nazimova, Eleanor\nRobson and Fred Terry.\n\"Our repertoire,\" continued Mr. Sauter, \"wild, include lhe best of the modem comedies, such as Bernard Shaw's\ndelightful plays, it being the intention\nto present such favorites as \"Pile Rivals,' the 'School for Scandal,' 'Slit\nStoops to Conquer,1 and 'David Gar\nrick.' These plays, in my opinion, are\nnot only of high merit, looked at from\na literary point of view, but are intensely . interesting, and because of\ntheir construction, brilliancy of dialogue and strength of motives make\nthe strongest appeal to all classes of\npeople, from plain working men and\nwomen to the student, the business\nman and the social leader.\n\"It is not difficult to foresee the\nfar-reaching influences which such\nmovement as that of the Orchard\nPlayers is likely lo have. In the firs)\nplace, it will tend to develop histrionic\nability and a deeper Interest in 'the\ndrama among the inhabitants of our\nprovince. Secondly, It will dQ more\nto advertise British Columbia than a\nmiiliitudo of printed hooks, Thirdly,\nit will tend to keep in circulation at\nhome thousands of dollars now annually taken away hy louring companies. Brltisli Columbia has generally awakened to tho fact that if we\nare ever to have a great province it\ncan only be by developing our natural\nresources and by patronizing our horn.!\nproducers and manufacturers. While\nat first though} It may seem raw and\ninapt to compare the artist with the\nmanufacturer of such n, homely commodity as, say, brooms, or the grower\nof potatoes, nevertheless, in the last\nanalysis wo find that tlie same conditions prevail and the same loyalty on\nthe part of the public is essential to\nsuccess and continued prosperity for\nboth producer and consumer. Last,\nbut not least, it seems that this movement ought to inspire a series of lira\nmas racy of the soil, breathing the\noptimism of the west.\"\nThe soring tour of. tlie Orchard\nPlayers will include tha principal\ntowns and cities of British Columbia,\ngiving practically everyone the\nchance of .s-seing this Bplendld organization,      i.     \u25a0 \u25a0\nSOMETHING   OF   A   HORSE-THIEF\nMartin Donohoe, the London Daily\nChronicle's war correspondent and\nspecial writer, can't make much of a\nspeech, but he can say tin* little-things\nthat count.'\u2022 Thus, at the Australian\nJournalists' club the other evening he\ngot the big cheer when modestly replying to the high praise that had\nbeen passed upon bis eventful work,\nby laying much of the credit to his\nearly journalistic training fn Australia., \"1 can never forget that,\" hc said,\nnd the crowd made It clear that they\n-*ould never forget it either. \"1 commenced my journalistic and horsestealing career in Sydney,\" he went on,\n\"and, at any rate, I'm a rjuallfled\nhbfsia-stealer.

He Instanced the operations\n[it, a  flour mill  to allow what  oould\ndone by selling direct to reliable\nRetailers In carload lots.   For 30 year;-!\ni mill In which lie was Interested .Hid\nbold al)  its output to retailors and\nIliad made 50 cents ;i barrel extra by\nIso doing.   Me thought the fruit growers could also sell their produce direct.\nUnder the present ctrcumstiiices it\nheeined the growers could not do -my*\n\u25a0thing hut support the prea-aitt organ-\nlizatlon. In 11)15, the situation might\n|b(! changed.\n0, B. Appleton saw no reason for\n\u25a0any further experiments and urged\n\u25a0that tlie members of the union carry\nTt.helr organization io a success. It\n\u25a0was already practically on Its feet, he\n\u25a0said. There was no doubt that there\n\u25a0would be sufficient, pioduce next fall\nJto pay expenses.\nVfW. Bourke agreed, hut spoke ol\nneed  for raising a few  hundred\n[-dollars for running expenses.\n\"I don't believe you could collect\n\u25a0anything ou a bet,\" declared Mr. Ap\n\u25a0plctou. But the ranchers would pledge\nithelr credit to tho extent of ?fi or\n\u25a0$10 each, he thought.\n,1. D.

T. IlickeB Bald he was in sympathy with the movement If the local\norganizations would work in sympathy\nwith the central union.\nThe deputy minister had made it\nclear while iu Nelson that practically\ntho whole district must be organized\nbefore the government would loan any\nmoney: it would not aid an Isolated\nlocal union, said Dr. Wolverton,\nW. JMoon'ey of Crawford Bay suggested that as there are 2G districts\nIn the association some districts\nshould guarantee $100 ami some join\ntogether in that amount, the arrangements for the guarantee being made\nin each district.\nDr. Wolverton did not believe the\nend could be accomplished without a\npersonal canvass. HQ suggested that\ncards of two characters be prepared,\none containing a pledge of $5 payable\nat a certain time, guaranteed by a\npromise of 100 boxes of It'll apples\nor oilier produce to an equal amount,\nallowing the union to deduct the $!\"..\nThis would enable the grower to pay\ncash to meet the obligation If he\ndesired, InstOiid of shipping the produce. An alternative pledge would be\na direct promise of ?& over and above\ncommission, the nionoy in each case\nto be devoted lo meeting overhead ex\npeases.\nSonic delegates thought the amount\nshould be $W: others favored a guarantee of a percentage of the crop\ngrown by each rancher.\nThe people of Hobson were willing\nto pay a fair commission, liO per cent\nif 10 were not enough, but they were\naverse to donations, said A. D. Clyde\nof that place.\nSuggests Emergency Fund.\n.M. S. Middleton suggested that it\nmight bo advisable In future years to\ndeduct 10 per cent commission and\nhold hack an additional 10 per cent\nas an emergency fund to he Used if\nrequired.1 He believed the people bad\nenough confidence lu the union to\nsupport it and that if It could hold\nout until the fruit were ready Tor shipment the worst of its troubles would\nb0 over. He did \u00bbot favor securing a\nloan from tho government, but thought\nthe union would achieve greater ultimate success if Us nose were kept to\nthe grindstone and economy made absolutely necessary. He felt confident\nthe union would prove a success. Dr.\nWolverton's plan was a good one to\nmeet present needs.\nMr. Tarry favored the plan t0 raise\nthe commission if necessary in order\nthat the 'tixwas of the union might be\nsafeguarded.\nIt was decided to change the 100\nboxes guarantee In Dr. Wolverton's\nplan to 50 per cent of the crop. Those\nproducing over ?100 worth of fruit will\nbo asked to guarantee ?10. Payment\nof $5 or $10 In cash by April 1 relieves the rancher of the liability to\nship through the union.\nAnother resolution suggested that\nthe union should hold back an addi\ntion 5 per cent for overhead expenses,\nto be used if required.\nFinancial Statement.\nA financial statement presented\nshowed that in liMl the loss Tor five\nmonths was $402.43 per month; In\n11)12, $170,011 per month, and In 1018\n$145.30 per month. The expenses in\n1012 were $3,345.35; and in 1913, $2,-\n885.51. At the present time the union\nwas short $534, including a note at\nthe bank for $500.\nEstimating an increase of 75 per\ncent in the year's business it is figured that about $1,500 will have to\nho raised to break even on overhead\ncharges. With the donations provided for In Dr. Wolverton's plan aud\nthe emergency deduction of an additional 5 per cent commission it Is figured this amount will he made up.\nThose present: G. F.

T. D. Stark, chairman of the finance committee of the\ncity- council, and J- H.

Stark that an informal conference may result In some\nreduction in the school estimates.\nSET SALARY OF\nHEALTH OFFICER\nSays Janitor Work at Public School\nIs Too  Expensive  Luxury\nfor City.\nDr. Isabel Arthur, school medical\nhealth officer, will be paid up to the\nend of the school year in June next\nat the rate fixed early last year, which\nwas $1 per head up to 600 pupils examined and 50 cents per head for all\nabove that number, with the provision\nthat the total amount for the school\nyear shall not exceed $700. For the\nnext school year, commencing on July\n1, payment will be $500 per annum,\nprobably payable in three equal instalments.\nThis was decided by the school\ntrustees last night, when it was explained that the former rate had been\ndecided upon for the balance of the\npresent school year because It had\nbeen found that up to December 31\nlast Dr. Arthur had examined 547 pupils and could therefore claim $1 per\nhead for that number on the basis\nof payment first fixed hy the 1913\nboard. Duties of llie officer with regard to attending at the school only\nwhen necessary are set forth In the\nresolution passed. Dr. A. V. Jones\nrecorded nn objection to fixing the\nsalary for the uext school year. For\nthe calendar year 1913 Dr. Arthur received $(i08.50, It was stated.\nThat the janitor department at the\npublic school was a very expensive\nluxury was the opinion expressed by\nJames H. Lawrence, who figured that\nwith extra help this work was costing\nthe people $1,935 a year. The janitor\nIs paid $90 per month and his wife\ngets $5 per month, with free quarters\nand other advantages, which Mr. Law-\nretico considered brought the salary\nto $130 per month, He considered that\none man could be found who would\ndo all the work for $75 per month It\napplicants were called for. In fact,\nhe thought there would be so many\nwanting the job at that figure that\na squad of police would he needed to\nkeep them In order while the board\nmade its choice.\nJohn Hamilton spoke of the need\nfor additional help and Dr. Jones de\nclared that if the janitor's wife did\nnot aid in sweeping the school one\nman could not do the work. There\nwere 18 rooms, in addition to the hall\nand gymnasium, and It should be\nworth $90 a mouth to keep them in\norder in addition to firing the furnace.\nShe usserted the board could not get\none muu to do the work.\nMr. Lawrence continued to contend\nthat the board was paying too much\nfor the work, when the free quarters,\nlight, witter and fuel were considered,\nand Dr. Jones said n, medical health\nofficer could be secured for less money\nand that tlie old board had secured\none. Mr. Lawrence argued that some-\nthing should be done. The chairman\nsaid the matter could be taken up at\nthe end of the school year.\nInsurance on the public school will\nbe Increased from $45,000 t0 $03,000.,\nas a result of a detailed report by a\nspecial committee. By a readjustment the extra cost will be only $80\nper annum. Tenders will be called\nfor prism covering Tor areiiB at the\nschool. At the suggestion of Dr. Wolverton and Harry Amas school supplies for the year will be ordered after\ntenders havo been secured. Dr. Jones\nor the secretary will purchase any\nsmall amounts of material that may\nbe required In addition.\n\\Tliat somo of the classes were overcrowded was the opinion of Dr. Jones\nand the management committee will\nnulke a report on the matter,\nKING OF BELGIANS\nIS THROWN FROM HORSE\n(By Dally News Leased Wire!\nBRUSS-BL^i, Feb. 17.\u2014Albert 1.\nkins- uf the Belgians, 'broke his urn\ntoday.

In 1!)13 only 0 per\ncent of the passenger vehicles were\nhorse-dirawn, compared with 11 per\ncent iu 1912 and 13 per cent In 1911.\nPractically now, the horse has -disappeared, so far as passenger transportation goes. 1 In .freight traffic the\nhorse still of course is the maiin pull,\nthough dwindling. In 1913, 88 per cent\nof the traffic vehicles were horse-\ndrawn, compared with 01 per cent in\n1912 ana 94 .per cent >in 1911. One of\ntihe most prominent features of tihe\ntraffic census results for 1913 1s the\ngreat Increase In the number of\nmotor-omnibuses enumerated at tae\ndifferent polnits as compared with\n1912.

'     -\nIn closing the debate for the day,\nMr. Borden said that while disposed\nto think that a smaller committee\nwould be best, he would consult with\nSir Wilfrid with regard to his proposal that it should consist of nine,\nmembors. In regard to Prince Kdward Island, he maintained that parliament could, legislate subject to subsequent ratification of any change\nmade by the-imperial'parliament.\nAt the evening sitting there was an\namusing debate over the question of\nthe construction of a public building\nat Brantford, the point at Issue being\nthe Importation of American stone to\nmake up for a shortage of the Canadian product.\nThen the  house went Into committee of supply on the estimates of lhe\ndepartment of trado and commerce.\nJudges Act,\nWhen the house niet R. Lanctot,\nNaplervllle, Introduced an act to\namend tbe Judges act. The bill provides that a judge cannot take a pension until he has served 25 years on\nthe bench instead of 15 years, as nt\npresent; judges on retirement will\nreceive only two-thirds of their salary. The bill provides, however, that\nall judges must retire on reaching the\nage of 75 years. The bill further pro\nvides that a retired judge drawing a\npension who accepts another position\nof emolument under the crown must\nhave deducted from his pension the\namount of the salary received.\nRedistribution Bill.\nPremier Borden then moved the\nsecond reading of the redistribution\nbill. He snid that it followed the bill\nof 1903 except that clauses 7 and 8\nof that bill were not Included. This\nwns because they hnd been repealed\nIn 1904, Mr. Borden then dealt with\nthe suggestion made by B. M. Macdonald, Plctou, that the maritime provinces should not suffer any reduction\nIn representation because the loss Iu\npeople does not represent one-twentieth of the aggregate population of\nCanada.\nMr. Borden said that the relation\nthe population of the maritime provinces bore to the aggregate population of Canada nt the 1901 census was\nsix-Blxtleths, while at the last census\nIt was five-sixtieths. Hc could not\nsee any possibility of a reason being\nfound In these figures for the maintenance of the maritime provinces'\nrepresentation as at present. Mr. Borden added that he regretted that tbe\nprovinces down by the sea must lose\na portion of their membership.\nSir Wilfrid Laurier, in opening, said\nIt was desirable to lay down the principles which should guide the committee.\nSir Wilfrid proceeded to say that\nbe had every confidence tnat tho com\nmittee to be named in this Instance\nwould also be guided by a spirit ol\nfair play, equality ah-* justice. Tin\nguiding principle which should govern\nthe committee. Sir Wilfrid said, should\ninclude a determination to equalize\nas far as possible the population of\nthe various constituencies. Then\ncounty boundaries should be adhered\nto whenever possible, with due regard\nto the compactness of constituencies,\nPrince Edward Island.\nIt was ail admitted view that the\nunit of population could not be tho\nBanie in rural and urban ridings. One\nsupreme reason was that In Canada,\nwith Its great ureas and sparse population, the rural constituencies would\nbe too large if the requirement was\ntho same.\nSir Wilfrid took issue with the action of Premier Bordeltt in leaving it\nfor the committee to determine whether or not Prince Edward Island should\nlose a member. This, he said, was a\nquestion on which tho committee and,\nindeed, the house itself, had no juris\ndiction. Parliament was not a free\nagent in the matter. It was a ques\ntion of arithmetic alone.\nIn conclusion Sir Wilfrid suggested\nthat the committee should consist of\nuine members instead of seven. The\nImportance of the west today, as compared with 1903, justified this, he\nthought.\nAction  Illegal.!\nE. M. Macdonald, Plctou, discussed\nthe representation of Prince Edward\nIsland. He pointed 0l|t that parliament had power to Increase the membership in any province, but not to\ndecrease it except in the regular\ncourse, following the census. He declared that the action of the committee would be illegal and improper if\nIt set out to give Prince Edward Island more members.\nHe did see one solution of the difficulty, however, which arose because\nof the anomaly of Prince Edward Island pointed out by the premier, that\nif it lost a member now. It would have\na smaller representation In the house\nthan In the senate, where it was on-\ntitled to four members. New Brunswick, he said, would havo 11 members\nin the house and 10 senators.\nThe premier, lie said, had approach-\nt the question very fairly and he\ntrusted that the same attitude would\nbe maintained by the committee,\nwhich would have the filling in of the\nschedule.\nJ. J. Hughes. Prince Edward Island,\nwho followed, made a strong plea to\nmaintain the present representation\nof the Island.\nW. F. Maclean, South York, thought\na representation of political thought\nthroughout the country was desirable\nand referred to the lack or representation of the minorities, Labor, for example. He thought parliament might\nbo made smaller with advantage and\nbelieved that after the next election\nthere should be a constitutional revision of several questions now unsettled.\nProportional Representation,\nHon. G. P. Graham was also lu favor\nof proportional representation and\nthought there wns something wrong\nwith tbe present system so far as\nminorities were concerned.\nA. A. McLean, Prince Edward Island, argued that owing.to a mistake\nin the confederation resolutions of\n18fi7 Prince Edward Island had heen\ndeprived of her right to six members.\nHe thought that the.BrltlBh North\nAmerica net should be amended and\nthe original representation restored.\nO. Turgeon said tho Island province\nYEAST\nshould, with tbo other maritime prov\ninces, abide by the terms of confed\noration. He suggested the desirability of a union of the three maritime\nprovinces iu order to Increase their\npolitical influence and also advocated\nthe bringing of Newfoundland Into the\nunion.\nPremier Borden spoke nt the evening sitting, replying briefly to some\nof the points thai had been raised,\nparticularly with reference L> Prince\nEdward Island, and moved the adjournment of the debate to Thursday\nnext.\nMr. Borden defended his course in\nleaving llie settlement uf Prince Edward Island representation to the\ncommittee. n was desirable, he\nthought that tho situation in thai province should iho oarofullv considered.\nWith respect t(l Slr Wilfrid's sueees-\ntlon that thi. committee consist of nine\nmembers, .Mr, Borden said he saw no\nspecial reason whv it was necessary lo\n1i.-j.V6 a member from oven- province\nHe thought the smaller committee lh,\nhotter, but he would 'be quite iv-illlnp\nto confer with the leader of tho opposition in regard to the suggestion.\nNELSON NEWS OF THE DAY\nJohn T.
