F. B.\nJohnston, the eminent eriminal lawyer,\nwas the feature of Ihis afternoon's session of the preliminary healing of the\nfour ex-ministers. A. .1. Andrews, who\ntook up the cross-examination of the\nwitness, V. W. Horwood. whero Mr.\nJohnston left off, will conclude tomorrow.\nR. W. Craig for lbo crown will re-examine Horwood on new points brought\nout in tbe nuflstionlng by the defense\nand the way will be left open for the\nnext witness, probably William Salt.\nAt the noon adjournment il was understood that Mr. Johnston wuuld conclude this afternoon the cross-examination of Horwood. This afternoon,\nhowever, he made a long statement that\nhe had appeared in tbe preliminary\nhearing only in order to examine the\nchief witness, Horvvond, because it\nwas possible that the health of the latter was such that he would not be on\nthe stand when the case came before\nthe assize court. This was no concluded, his brief was satisfied and he\nwould appear no more until the\nwas sent up for trial. Johnston then\n!\u00bbft the court, ret limine- past tonight,\nWill Not Say Memory Good.\nSome objections Was therefore taken\nby crown counsel when il immediately\ndeveloped that, so far from the eross-\nexaminnlion of Horvvond having censed,\nAndrews proposed to Continue It nil the\nafternoon. After some argument the\nmagistrate sustained Mr. Andrews,\nwho proceeded to question Horwood\nabout his relations at Rochester. Minneapolis and Winnipeg with the crown\ncounsel, in his hands Horwood proved\nno more amenable witness than under\nthe management of Mr. Johnston,\nHorwood told Mr. Andrews that he\nwould not say his memory \"was good\nnow.\"\nHe said that since lie came to Winnipeg this summer he had endeavored to\nreturn to ibe I'nited Stales, but had\nbeen slopped by Cnited States officials.\nHe Rsld he was trapped into a tribunal\nof so-called Pniled States authorities\nwho used tbe evidence taken before\ntbe Mathers commission.\nTried to Sell House.\nHorwood said he had tried to sell\nhis house and it was in packing up bis\ngoods in the attic that he found the\nletters marked \"destroy.\" He gave\nthose  letters to  his counsel.\nTbe witness told of his various consultations with crown counsel and\nstated in reply to questions that he\nwas friendly wilh William Salt, formerly known as tbe \"missing witness.\"\nMr. Andrews inquired diligently as to\nhis conversation with Salt iu reference\nto the ease.\n\"Salt,\" said Horwood. \"hopes that\nyou will examine him: lie wants to\ntell you something.\"\n\"W?ll. hr,certainly will W^t dined\"\nsaid -Mr. Andrews, with some beat.\n\"Wft were talking nhout the ens\nerully and about you,\" said th\nness.\n\"I did not know 1 was so impo\ncommented Andrews.\nThe   witness   was   questkni\nhis  reputation  as  provincial\nin 1 rn4.

Horwood said there were some\ntelegrams. One, he said, was a telegram sent him by Andrews.\nProduces Telegram.\n\"That was before lhe royal commission; for goodness' sake, produce it.\"\nreplied Mr. Andrews. The telegram\nwas produced. It was sent to Horwood\nat Minneapolis and asked bim to produce a certain letter before the royal\ncommission. Horwood stated that from\nwhat his solicitor told him be did not\nthink Mr. Andrews did right in sending\nthe message.\nThe witness declured again that he\nnever knew the sum which was included in the caissons to be handed by Mr.\nKelly to Dr. Simpson. He knew of one\nsum of $50,000 mentioned by Simpson\nand another sum of $100,000 which\nKelly told him \"they wanted\" but that\nwas the extent of his knowledge on the\nsuhjeet.\nMr. Andrews asked aboul llorvvood's\nbank account. Horwood said he had\nan account and his wife had two savings accounts. The subject was not\npursued further.\nThe witness said that his solicitor\nhad sent in his resignation to the government, but he did not know that It\nhad ever been accepted.\n\"I am not now in the employ of the\ngovernment,\" he added.

The tarrlf levy,\nwhile a temporary war measure, marks\na departure from the free trade which\nhas heen Great Britain's policy for 70\nyears.\nIt Is explained (lint thc chief object\nof the decision to levy duties upon\nautomobiles, bicycles, moving picture\nfilms, clocks, watches, musical Instruments, piale glads and hats is to entourage economy nnd reduce tho balance nf trade against Croat Britain,\nThe expl.'tiuitinii-.ns to the shortness\nnnd composition -of the list of articles\nwhoso importation Is to be discouraged\nhy Ihis method will probably he given\nhy the chancellor during the debate\n\u25a0Which is to commence todny.\nWhile to secure a reduction in Imports is the primary object of Uie new\nduties it. is clenr thnt (hoy will have.\nat least two other Important effects.\nThey will give, a measure of protection to (he industries In the British\nJsles whicli nre affected nnd they will\nprovide a small but welcome additional\nrevenuo for Uio treasury.\nWILL   WELCOME   THE   PIONEERS\nOF  KOOTENAY\nNelson will cordially welcome tho\npioneers of Kontenn.y who will meet\nhere tomorrow to organize the Kootenay Oldlimers' association.\nBritish Columbia owes much to the\nforesight, the imagination nnd the\nenergy of the virile men who during\nthe early days of the interior faced\nthe hardships, the dangers and tlie dis\ncourngements of*pioneei* life. It owes\nmuch to the men who went cheerfully\nforwnrd, inspired by the intelligent\noptimism wheh marks the true pioneer\n\u25a0spirit, upon their chosen work of laying the foundation of the development\nwhich hns followed them.\nNot the least valuable of Uie several\nimportant functions which enn ho fulfilled hy tho Kootenay Oldtimers' association i.s that, nf keeping green the\nmemories or the past, and possibly of\nperpetuating in enduring form the his\nlory of tho days when iho pioneer\nwero setting in motion Ihe machlner;\nof progress which many oldtimers are\ntoday assisting residents of a later\ngeneration to operate.\nA    DREAM    OF    THE    MILLENIUM\nBY  Y.

Thore is nothing small ahout\nmost of these schemes, except their\nchrinceli of success.\nA revival of an old Utopian idea\ncomes from Yervant II. Iskender, who\nlives in Scotland. Mr. iskender, in n\nnicely printed pamphlet of 32 pages\nentitled \"Citizens of tho World,\" declares that hn has over 10,000 supporters already for his plan to bring the\nwhole world inlo one great united poo\npie. Among those included among the\n\"10,000 supporters and sympathizers\"\nore, he declares, \"several rulers, pre\nRidents of republics, admirals, bishops\nmembers of parliament\" and others\nMr. Iskoiuier's argument for making\nnil people into \"citizens of the world,\"\ninstead of citizens or subjects of nations, is set forth in much black type,\nitalics and underscorings, plentifully\nJnterspersed with quotations and one\nnr two tnisii notation a.\nBut tlie \"founder of the movement\"\nis nothing if not thorough in his\nmethods.

At small cost to\nthemselves the French have destroyed\nenemy works and caused serious loss\nof life. But, while official reports are\ngiven rather to concealing plans than\no exposing them, the cominuniipie\nlearly suggests that the public may\nlook for a further spell of siege warfare by referring to Uie success whicli\ncan be attained by continuing the tactics  of attrition.\nHave   you   purcluu*\nticket for the fair?\nmr\n:is<.n\nCroat Britain has placed a duty on\nimported hats.

Tbo defenses built by Alexander I., at the\nconfuence of the Bobrufska with the\nHeresina, withstood heavy bombardment and bitter assaults by lho\nFrench. Before the fortress, toward\nEurope, aro millions.of acres of langlejj\ndesolate marsh lands, while a long lino\nof swamps extends for hundreds of\nmiles up and down behind the strong-\nhojjj, simplifying the defense of Great\nRussia, just to the east.\nBobruisk is situated in the govern\nment of Minsk, 108 miles southeast ot\nthe city of Minsk. It is built on the\nhigh, sharply cut, red bank of the\nBereslna whero its tributary, the Bob-\nrulska, joins it. Steam, packets, plying\nup and down the Bereslna and down\nthe Beresina to the Dnieper, to tho\ncities of Kief, Kherson and Black sea\ndock at Bobruisk, and tbe town has a\nlarge water traffic. It assembles and\nexports considerable quantities of\ngrain and timber. Grain ih also ground\nIn its mills for export. \"While its\nmanufactures are of less Importance\nthan Its trade .they have builded up\nrapidly during the last few years.

This is one of the\nmosi direct nnd convenient of all the\ngreat roads lending into the heart of\nRussia. The fortress is more than 200\nmiles beyond the German lines advancing from the west. The town,\nhousing a population of 85,000, was\"*hl-\nmost entirely destroyed by fire wi J002,\nwhich directed the government's attention to improvements and to the dismantled defenses.\nRovno, at the southern end of tho\nthird Russian line of defense along\nwhich the czar's troops arc now re?\nported to be regi-uupiu'-Si HiiM Ijieuoiilu of\nfirst importance, as being the last\nstronghold blocking the German advance Into the rich hinterland of Little\nRussia, or the much-contested Ukraine\nand as lying across the Teutonic potl\nsouth of the Black sea.\nRovno is the farthest removed of'-\ntrinngle of fortresses guarttng south!\nern Russia, Lutsk, the apex of thljf\ntriangle, lies north of the Galiclan clti\nof Brody, and about 85 miles north!\nest of Lemberg.

The real trouble, that\nwhich causes all the pain and difficulty. Is excessive acid In the stomach,\naggravated by food fermentation. Hyperacidity irritates the delicate lining\nof the stomach and food fermentatiofi\n_ causes wind which distends the atom-1,\nW aoh abnormally, causing that full bloated feeling. Thus both acid and fermentation Interfere with and retard the\nprocess of digestion. The stomach is\nusually healthy and normal, hut irritated almost past endurance by these\nforeign elements\u2014acid and wind. In\nall such cases and they comprise over\n90 per cent of all stomach difficulties\n\u2014the first and only step necessary is\nto neutralize the acid and stop the fermentation by taking in a little warm\nor 6uld water immediately after eating\nfrom one to two teaspoonfuls of -bisurated magnesia, which is doubtless the\nbest and only really effective antacid\nand food, corrective known. The. acid\nwill be neutralized and- the fermentation stopped almost instantly, and your\nstomach will at once proceed to digest\nthe food in a healthy, normal manner.\nHe sure to ask your -druggist for the\nbisurated magnesia, ca I have found\nother forms utterly lacking in its peculiarly  valuable  properties. F..T,G.\nLOATHE GERMANY\nObserver Urges tha  Need  for  British\nPropaganda Among (Neutrals to\nInfluence Public Opinion.\nLONDON\".\u2014The real need for the\ncreation of adequate machinery to keep\nneutrals informed of allied and British\nactivities and of active propaganda to\nremove the false impressions created\nby German publicity agents is strongly\nurged by a neutral writing in The\nTimes.   He says in part:\n\"The chief German weapons of war\nare beyond question big cannon, barb\ned wire, countless machine guns and\nuntiring propaganda. The German gov\nernment had all these ready in August\nlast,\n\"As a neutral, I wish to emphasle\nthe immense advantage they have\ngained over the allies by the campaign\nof Informing, -coaxing and bullying\nthey began immediately on the declaration of war. As one whose nation\nis nine-tenths strongly pro-British, I\ncannot sufficiently emphasize the urgent need for preventing the little nations, one by one, falling away from\nthe allies' cause, as I have indicated\nbefore, I believe It impossible to make\nany change now but there are other\ncountries where British, French and\nRussian prestige must be maintained\nat all costs and can be maintained iby\nthe use of brain, energy and printing\nink.\nEntrenched  in  Press.\n\"It does not need the evidence of im\nmense accumulations of munitions to\nprove that Germany prepared for war\nand seized a convenient opportunity\nwhich coincided with her custom of\nmaking wnr after the harvest. There\nare other guides to her prevision. She\nhad entrenched herself in the press of\nevery neutral country and according to\nstatements made in Germany, she had\ngreatly influenced a portion of the\nBritish press. I believe investigation\nof the affaire of the Hamburg-\nAmerika Steamship company and hos-\npitllty to British newspper editors,\nwould yield fruitful if distasteful results.\nCounter Propaganda Needed.\n\"All this has -been done and is still\ngoing on and if Great Britain and her\nallies do not wish to find further de\nfections among neutrals, she and her\npartners must promptly realize the\nnecesisty of a counter-propaganda.\nWith two exceptions, all the little neutral states of Europe loathe Germany.\nBut they all fear her and in increasing\ndegree. In many uf these countries the\naverage citizen is so afraid of expres*\nsing his opinion about Germany that\nIt is not until you have won his con\nfldence that he will tell you what he\nthinks. Mixed up with this fear Is a\nsort of sneaking admiration for Ger*\nmany's war progress.\nEarly In the war Great Britain was\ngreatly feared In Europe. There was\na hazy notion in some neutral countries\nthat the British fleet would Immediate\nly demolish that of Germany. A certain\nrash speech by one of y<Vur cabnet\nministers about digging out the German fleet' carried conviction. These\nneutrals have not realised and do not\nrealize that sea warfare today Is likely\nto he as long as iu the days of Nelson\nand Villeneuve. The whole world, Indeed, is not yet awake to the fact\nthat modern changes have not reduced\nthe duration of war.\nSome Specific  Cases.\n\"Within a few weeks of the war\nGerman-inspired newspapers and Individual Germans began preaching tho\ndoctrine of the 'bottled-up British\nfleet.' The exploits of the Emden and\nGoeben were 'boomed' by the German\nagents in my particular country. All\nthis was accompanied by very lino\nnaval cinematograph films\u2014obviously\ntaken before the war broke out\u2014and\narticles iby German naval authorities\nSince then there has been an incessant campaign of advertisement of\nGerman naval prowess. Long before\nanything was really known about the\nsinking of the Lusitania, neutrals wero\nInformed that .her having passengers\non board was a cunning scheme of\nGreat Britain to enable her to import\nthose shells which her refractory workpeople declined to muke. Thus it is\nthat in most neutral countries today\nthe whole iLusitania tragedy has been\nminimized and befogged.\nThe  Bryce  Report.\n\"There is an old saying that, if you\ngive a lie a start, you can never catch\nit up. The cpiickness of the German\ngovernment, the corrupt German news\nservice and the Wolff agency\u2014with its\ncountless ramifications throughout\nEurope\u2014should be checked in such\ncountries as still maintain their, neutrality. At one time the speedy circulation of the Bryce report in the\nlanguage of the country to which\nit should have been sent might h,ave\nproduced effect. It is to late now. For\nthe Germans forestalled you by instantly circulating tlie statement that\nBelgian women had mutilated the\nGerman wounded. That was published\nfar and wide long before the ccusa-\ntions against Germany were made by\nthe allies. I have been present at tho\ncurious spectacle of a German faintly\nadmitting that excesses may have been\ncommitted by the army, while a German-Swiss flatly contradicted him.\nHow  Germany Works.\nThe modern German ambassador,\nminister or consul is a propagandist.\nHe it Is who buys and influences newspapers. He secures German advertisements for publications that cannot be\nbought en bloc. He assists needy\njournalists. He sees to the distribution of cinematograph films extolling\nthe German army and navy. He anticipates the very feeble propaganda of\nthe allies by contradicting it before It\nis widely circulated. An American\njournalist told me that all the work\nof the American journalists who have\nbeen living with the German armies,\nor making the kind of Cook's tours\nthat are arranged for others of them,\nis carefully collated and watched. No\nfavors are again granted to those who\nventure to criticize. Hotel keepers in\nneutral countries are used for propaganda purposes. The whole sordid business Is as foreign to the ideas of most\nneutrals as is the use of poisonous gas,\nbut it must be met.\nAcquaintances with whom I -converse hero in London are angry when\nl tell them that we at home knew nothing about the British army and very\nlittle about the British navy. But we\nhear nothing of our army or navy and\nre deluged with German news. How\ncan\" we know abouOyou? The moro\neducated among us haye seen tho whito\npaper, which convinced us. A handful\nknow the Bryce report and the mass\nof the people while they detest the\nGermans are growing more and more\nafraid of them. What Is happening in\nmy country is happening in Bulgaria,\nRumania and the rest of the neutral\ncountries.\nAll   Afraid  of  Germany.\n\"It is quite easy to learn the respective values placed by Germany upon the various neutrals. The United\nStates she regards as of about the\nsame importance as Norway. 'The\nUnited States is an inert, unarmed\nmass\u2014a long way off,* argues Germany\nand Norwegian hostility only accentuates Sweden's friendship for Germany.* She apollgizes to Sweden for\nships destroyed and her rapid apology\nto Denmark this week has surely opened people's eyes to the importance\nshe attaches to Danish friendship.\n\"We neutrals are almost entirely\nwith you. We ask you to tell us con\ntinually what yon are doing. German\npropaganda Is persistent. Tt assumes\na new form with every phase of the\nwar. Thc occasional npccchcn of'your\nministers have done some good, but\nthey cannot combat the daily lies of thi\nWolff and other news agencies and\nthe continual stream of cinematograph\npictures.\n\"It would be Invidious to make a list\nof the neutral states and deal with\ntheir particular point of view It\nmight be unwise to do so. but this I\ncan reaffirm, they are all afraid of\nGermany; all except Sweden dislike\nGermany, and all are secretly anxious\nto help you. Germany by her propaganda, however divides public opinion.\nSho begins by dividing public opinion\nand finally captures tbe government.\nShe is an  unceasing worker.\"\nERS\nPOLITICS\nCoast   Association   Merely   Branch   of\nOne Party, Says Delegate at Trades\nand   Labor  Congress.\nVANCOUVER, B.

J\nlie Hudson's Bag (ftmpanu,JK\nabout the downfall of the grand duke\nwould be hailed with rejoicing by those\nwho desire to see Russia a democratic\ncountry. If the duma can dispose of\nthe grand duke, who In many respects\nwas the strongest man In Russia,, it\nenn also dispose of the czar, who\nstoutest prop he was; and it can mike\nilself into as representative, influential\nand democratic a body as the British\nhouse of commons. There can be little\ndoubt that the duma, which for years\nhas been considered a sort of joke, a\nmere debating society, a safety valve\nfor popular opinion, and of not much\nmore real authority than the orator.-* in\nHyde park, has taken charge of Russia, and proposes to conduct the war\naccording to Its own ideas. The du- ia\ndismissed the grand duke because ho\nwas an autocrat ad insisted that Lhe\nsolo business of the duma was to provide him with money for munitions,\nleaving to him complete and undivided\nauthority in military matters.\nUnited by War.\nThe reason tbe duma Is no longer a\njoke Is that the war has united 'ts\nmembers as nothing else could have\ndone. Until the war broke out th-r.\nwere a dozen, if not a score, of factions tn the Russian parliament. The\nonly real party was the Conservative\nparty, which united upon the geneva1\nprinciple of blockading all Innovations.\nThe war, however, closed the gips\nbetween all tbe Democratic and Radical and Socialist groups, and automatically the Conservatives found themselves In a minority. The first Intimation of t'he strength of the new ma.lo.\"-\ntty party was given when it was hipr-\ned that the duma might be dissolved\nuntil after the war. Thereupon a deputation of progressives waited upon Tie\nczar, and told him If the duma was\ndissolved tbe majority of the members\nwould continue to sit In the chamb \u00bbr\nand transact business as the repri\naentatlves of tlie country, leaving to\ntbe czar the onus of repudiating tho-r\nacts.\nHigh-Officials Fall.\nThc next move of the duma was -U.\nform a council of national defense,\nwhich was composed of members of\ntlie house, prominent business men.\nmilitary authorities and other emineni\nRussians. This council was fortunate\nIn securing the backing of the mo-*,'.\nInfluential newspaper in Russia. Il\nproceeded at once to investigate the\nshortage of ammunition, and being\niihable to find any other scapegoHt\nlaid the blame, unjustly as many\nthink, upon the shoulders of Gob; Suh\nhomlinoff, minister of war, entirely unmindful of his great services in reorganizing the Russian army after tbo\nJapanese war. The general was retired and three or four other minister:'\nfollowed bim, their places being taken\nby  Liberals;   .u id n\u00bbl cloar whether\nthe agitation for the removal of the\ngrand duke was due to the Russian re\nverses ot the past couple of month-;,\nor to a general knowledge of his autocratic nature.\nProbably the court of national de\nfenses realized that it could not worl-\nharmoniously with the grand duke it\nIt aspired to have any voice in the di\nreet Ion of the campaign. The comic1\nbeing determined to take a hand in th\nmanagement of the army, the. grand\nduke had to go. This triumph of the\nduma may be at the cost of military ef\nficiency, although it is probable tha\nthe assumption of tbe supreme command by the czar wil lhave an inspiring effect upon the common soldiers\nNevertheless, the czar will he depend\nent upon the same general staff, the\nsame subordinate officers that si\nrounilcil the grand duke. He will have\nin addition thc patrotlc advice and sup-\nport of the council of military defense,\nthe value of which remains to be\nproved.\n\"So   the   prima  donna  you  are  en\ngaged to marry failed to show Up for\ntho wedding.

Smyth of Princeton Speaks of\nMarked   Improvement\u2014Lumber\nand Coal Output Grows.\nFred J'. Smyth, manager of the Similkameen star at Princeton, passed\nthrough Nelson lasl nitwit on his way\nbom.- from a visit to Cranbrook. Moy-ie\nand other East Kootenay points. Ho\nsays business is showing :i decided improvement along the Crow's Nest Pass\nrailway. Around Cranbroolr several\nsawmills are operating almost to full\ncapacity and there Is a scarcity of\nlumberjacks. Freight traffic Is inereas\ning steadily, -owing lo tbe revival of\nthe lumber industry and the heavy demand for coke at the smelters at Trail,\nGrand Forks and Greenwood, Several\nadditional train crews arc now running out of Cranbrook. The Sullivan\nIhiric at Klmberley, owned by the Con\nsolldated company, Is sentUng a heavy\ntonnage to the smelter at Trail, and\nthe property is improving right along.\nAt Princeton, Mr. Smyth says, the\ncoal mine of the Princeton Coal & Lund\ncompany will employ about 60 men\nduring the winter. This is an exceptionally fine domestic coal, and. the\nbuilding of tho Kettle Valley railway\nhas made It possible to ship to Okana-\ngaft points and to the coast'cities. Coal\nfrom this mine can also be shipped hy\ntho Great Northern to Oroville, Spokane and other Washington state markets. Princeton is holding its own wonderfully well under existing conditions,\nand the people arc looking forward to\nunprecedented prosperity when the\nline of railway is built from there to\nCopper mountain nnd Voigt's eamp.\nThe Kettle Valley railway has been a\ngreat boon to both the Okanu-gan and\nSimilkameen districts, and considering\nthe road has been In operation less\nthan four months, the service is very\nsatisfactory. The roadbed is In much\nbetter shap than a person would nat\nurnlly expect on a new railway.\nMONEY\nSE\n0 GO TO\nVERAL B\nEaoh Subscriber to Gun Fund Will Be\nAsked   Which   Cause   Is\nFavored\nThat a circular letter be sent to all\nthe contributors to the Nelson and district machine gun fund stating tho\ncircumstances which have arisen since\nthc collection was mado to render It\nImpossible tu devote the money to the.\nobject first intended and offering them\nthe opportunity of transferring it lo\none or moro objects suggested In tho\nletter or receiving their contributions\nback, was tho decision of the meeting\nof subscribers called by tin- commit-'\ntec of tlie machine gnu fund and held\nat the city hall last night. I\nTbo original proposition uf the committee, which was submitted to the\nmeeting for its approval, gave rise to\nsome discussion and what was said\nwns u. misapprehension of the intention of tho committee in presenting Its\nrecommendation was commented upon.\nSome of the members voiced the belief\nthat the committee purposed by resolution of the mooting lo divert thc\nfunds to somo cause ojIkt than thu\none specified when' the contributions\nwere asked for.\nL, A. S. Duck, who wus in the chair,\nstated that this was not the intention\nof tbe committee, which had submitted\nlis suggestions as n possible outlet for\nthe fund. The .reasons for Ibe suggestions were outlined by Robb Sutherland, who acted as secretory in thc\nabsence of C. J. Archer, lie pointed\nout that a large .proportion of tbo\nmen from the district had signed away.\nIn some cases moro than half their\npay in order that their dependents\nmtglii have the bctiofits or tho patriotic\nfund. This, lid said, was the reason\nwhy tho committee advocated devoting some of tho money to tlm funds\nof the companies to whicb most of the\ndistrict men are.attached, in order that\nthey might supply themselves with\nmany comforts at present denied them\nfor lack of money.\nThe recommendation of the commit*-\ntee to set aside a certain sum for tho\npurpose of taking care of wounded and\ncrippled men returning from tho Trout\nmet with the favor of the meeting,\nwith the exception of C. It. Hamilton,\nK.C., who stated that he felt that there\nwere things of a more pressing nature\nto which the money might be devoted\nand gave it as bis opinion that If any\nmen arrived back from thu front lu a\ncrippled condition ami without money\nno time would be lost, when they arrived, in raising funds with which to\ntake care of them. In reference to the\ncumpmiy fund being nubsoribed to, he\nsaid that he had tried to get the viewpoint of the soldiers on thc matter and\nhe felt strongly that thc men would la-\nbetter pleased if Ihey know that tlio\nmoney was being used to take cure of\ntheir wives aud families ond suggested devoting the whole of the money to\nthe patriotic fund, which, he said, hn\nunderstood was far behind what It'\nshould be hi its receipts.\nDr. N. Wolverton strongly advocated\ndonating one-half of thc money to e\npatriotic fund and one-half lo the Red\nCross fund, which latter, he said, wuuld\nbo. In weed of money for u lung lime\nafter the close of the wnr in order to\ntake care of the injured. A motion to\ntills effect was made by him and seconded by W. H. .Tunesj to which an\namendment was made by Harry Uird,\nseconded by It. G. Joy, and adopted by\nthe meeting. The resolution then read\nto the effect that a circular letter be\n\u25a0issued to each subscriber explaining\nthat lit was not. possible lo devote the\nmoney to the purchase of machine guns\nfor the filth battalion and offering the\nsubscribers the opportunity of designating by means of a mark opposite\none or more of the causes suggested by\nthe committee, what disposition of the\ncontribution would be acceptable or\nreceiving the money back. A time\nlimit will be set for replies and it will\nbe understood that in the case of subscribers not replying, their contribu\ntions will be equally, divided among all\nthe funds suggested. These funds are\nPatriotic fund, Hod Cross fund, fund\nfor disabled, soldiers, company fund\nand the option of having contribution\nreturned.\nTbe treasurer, RI. It. McQuarrie, re\nported that every subscriber's name\nwas published in Tbe Dally News and\nthat with the exception of 20 -who.\nsigned thc lists all the money was now\nin, amounting to $2614.70; leaving a\nbalance of $78.55. In his report lie\nslated that it was still possible to devote tbe money to the machine, gun\nfund, but in such a way that it would\nnot increase the army's equipment of\nguns, but by so doing it would lose its\nidentity as coming from the district.\nThe original committee appointed to\nhave charge of the fund was re-elected, with one change, that of Kobb\nSutherland as secretary. Tho committee was instructed to issue tho circular\nletters as soon as possible and a hope\nwus expressed lhat tbe contributors to\nthc fund would indicate! their wishes\nand return the-letters to the secretary\nwithout delay.\nKOMAGATA CAPTAIN LOSES\nSOME OF HIS CREW\n(By'Daily News Leased Wire.)\n' VANCOUVF-R, H.
