Bate and Wesley\nWillard acted as presiding magistrates in the absence of James\nAbrams, S.M., on Monday morn\ning. There appeared before their\nworships four prisoners, James\nConners, Jonathan Taylor, John\nHall and Richard Goodwin, all\ncharged that they did on the 23rd\nday of November wrongfully and\nwithout lawful authority with a\nview to compel John Thompson\nto abstain from working as afire-\nman for the Canadian Collieries\n(Dunsmuir) Ltd., did use violence\ntowards the said John Thompson,\nand harm the said John Thompson, and thereby intimidate contrary to the provisions of Sub-\nSection A of Section 501 of the\nCriminal Code of Canada.\nJohn Thompson, fireboss at No.\n6, gave evidence for the prosecution, he said on the afternoon of\nthe 22nd inst., at between half-\npast five and six o'clock, the four\nprisoners came to his house accompanied by a man of the name\nTosland. They opened the door\nand walked in, being careful to\nclose the door after they came in\nand lock it. When inside they\naddressed the witness, who was\nin the house with his wife and\nthree children, by saying: \"Now\nwe have got four men to quit\nwork, Tapella is in jail, and we\nwill give you five minutes to\ndecide what you are going to do.''\nAt the same time using very foul\nand filthy language. So much so\nthat the ladies present in court\nworn asked to leave by the prosecuting counsel while the witness\nrepeated the obscene language.\nThe accused then took witness's\nsafety lamp, which was hanging\nbehind the door, and told him to\ntake it and throw it in the scab's\neye. Witness then took the lamp\nand laid it to one side. By this\ntime the prisoners thought the\nfive minutes were up, and dealt\nthe witness a blow and sent him\nsenseless to the floor. One of\nthem rushed forward to get at\nthe witness when Mrs. Thompson\nwas knocked down with the baby\nREMANDED UPON\nSUSPENDED SENTENCE\nOUTPUT OF COAL SHOWS\nMARKED INCREASE\nThe output of the Canadian\nCollieries (Dunsmuir) Ltd. at the\nlocal mines shows a marked increase again this week.\nThe following are the returns\nfor the week up to last night :\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nSaturday.

The\npresence of the police has prevented sarcastic remarks, and the\nhounding and terrifying mobs\nthat surrounded a workman returning from work was stopped\nby Chief Constable Stephenson\nlast Saturday, he having received\nan additional force of constables\nto be able to master the situation.\nWhen he was ready he said\n\"stop,\" and \"stop\" was the\norder for the day and has been\never since so far as processions\nare concerned. The mounted\npolice and special constables have\nhad the desired effect. The\ncitizens have enjoyed a little\npeace this week, but the week\nprevious was similar to hell let\nloose on earth.\nMrs. Hannah White and Mrs.\nEthel Douglas appeared before\nHis Worship Judge Abrams on\nThursday morning charged with\nassaulting Ernest Haywood on\nthe afternoon of the 18th inst.\nErnest Haywood in his evidence said: When nearing his\nhome on thc date mentioned he\ncame into contact with a mob of\nmen and women carrying Umbrellas. The crowd numbered\nabout two hundred. When nearing the steps of his home he was\nassaulted and continually prod\nded with umbrellas. He bolted\nupstairs to get away from the\neffects of the assault. Mrs. E.\nDouglas held her umbrella over\nhim, saying in a sarcastic manner\n\"I like to shield a scab.\" Witness had some trouble getting\nupstairs to his home, the crowd\nbeing extraordinarily noisy and\nexcited, and calling him \"scab.\"\nThe accused stood before him for\nthree or four minutes, hemming\nhim in. Did not know if Mrs.\nWhite struck him or not, the\nwomen crowding around him on\nall sides and poking him with\numbrellas.\nA. R, Kerstead, sworn, said:\nHe was a blacksmith doing business in Cumberland and on the\nafternoon of the 13th inst. there\nwas a mob of 150 or 200 people\naround his place after Ernest\nHaywood, who resided above his\nshop. His attention while, at\nwork was drawn outside by the\nhowling of a mob which surrounded his place of business.\nHe saw the women punching\nHaywood with umbrellas, and the\ntwo accused women were in the\nmiddle of the mob. He knew\nthat an assault had been committed on Haywood. The accused called him \"scab,\" also\nthreatening him and following\nhim up the stairs to his home.\nErnest Horwood and Joseph\nWillard, who were presenton the\nstreet when the crowd tried to\nmob Haywood, gave evidence for\nthe prosecution.\nChief Constable Stephenson,\nwho is in charge of the police\nwhile this strike is on said that\nthe people here had given him a\ngreat deal of trouble. He had\nseen the accused in the processions and would consider them\nleaders of the crowd.\nMr. T. B. Shoebotham, prosecuting on behalf of the Attorney-\nGeneral's Department, illustrated\nthe case very vividly before His\nWorship, and asked that they be\nremanded on suspended sentence.\nMr. T. P. Elder, of the firm of\nBird, Darling and Leighton, of\nNanaimo, appeared on behalf of\naccused.\nThe magistrate in rendering\nhis decision said he deeply re-\ngretted^ the unpleasant feeling\nthat existed here, and would take\nthe advice of the prosecuting attorney and let them out on suspended sentence.\nTAPELLA SENT\nDOWN FOR TRIAL\nCommitted to Stand Trial at the\nNext Court of Competent\nJurisdiction at Nanaimo.\nNO PARTICULAR ISSUE\nIN VIEW OF SETTLEMENT\nin her -arms. Then a general\nmix-up ensued, and Mrs. Thompson recovered sufficiently to try\nand get out to call the police, but\nwas stopped by one of the accused. Finally she got out after\nbeing crushed at the door and\nwitness freely using a club. She\ncalled the police, Who appeared\non the scene and arrested the\nfour mentioned.\nIsabella Thompson, wife of the\nprevious witness, gave evidence\nof a similar nature.\nConstables Jewitt and Reid\ngave evidence of Thompson and\nhis wife being in an excited condition at the time they were called.\nThe magistrate, after hearing\nthe evidence, decided to send the\nfour accused up for trial at the\nnext court of competent jurisdiction. Warrants of commitment\nhave been made out and they\nwill be taken to Nanaimo to\nawait their trial.\nOn Thursday afternoon the\nThomas Tapella case came up\nbefore Judge Abrams in the Provincial Police Court. The accused\nwas charged: That Thomas Tap-\npella, of Cumberland, in the\nCounty of Nanaimo, on the 18th\nday of November instant, together with three or more persons did\nassemble together for a common\npurpose, and whilst so assembled\ndid conduct themselves in such a\nmanner as to cause persons in\nthe neighbourhood of such assembly to fear, on reasonable\ngrounds, that the persons so\nassembled would disturb the\npeace tumultously, contrary to\nthe provision of Section 87 of the\nCriminal Code of Canada.\nArthur R. Kerstead was the\nfirst witness for the prosecution.\nHe said on the afternoon of the\n18th day of November a mob or\ncrowd numbering about two hun>\ndred gathered around his place\nof business, shouting \"Scab'\nand using foul language, when\nthe crowd made a rush for the\nstair after Haywood. He came\nout and saw Tapella the accused\nwho seemed to be the worst\namongst them. He spoke to the\ncrowd and asked them to please\ngo away as he was not connected\nwith the strike in any way. The\naccused then opend up on witness\nand called him filthy names,\nthreatening tp blow his brains out\nand ordered him into the shop,\nand that he would shoe no more\nhorses in Cumberland. After\nthe crowd went away the accused\ncame back and repeated the\nstatement in a sharp tone that he\nwould blow my brains out, and\npitched into me in general. The\ncrowd evidently wanted me to\nfire Haywood out of his rooms\nbecause he was working for the\ncoal company.\nMatilda Kerstead, wife of the\nfirst witness, told the court about\nthe disorderly conduct of the\ncrowd.\nThomas D. McLean, jeweller,\ngave evidence as to the screaming and shouting. He said he\ndropped his work and ran to see\nwhat was the matter. He saw\nthe crowd of women chasing a\nworkman and hitting him with\numbrella, while the mob was\nshouting: \"Hit-him, strike him,\"\nin loud and angry voices. Mc\nLean said he saw Kerstead standing on his own property while\nTapella was on the street. Kerstead asked the accused to go\naway and be quiet as his wife\nwas very nervous. Tapella replied he would blow Kerstead,\nhis buildings, and all the other\nscabs to hell. They got frightened and thought something serious\nwould happen, when McLean\ntelephoned Mayor McLeod to\ncome down right away or there\nmay be murder in town.\nErnest Haywood gave evidence.\nThe Magistrate asked the\naccused if he had anything to say,\nto which he replied through counsel, Mr. T. P. Elder, of Bird,\nLeighton and Darling, that he\nhad nothing to say.\nTappella was committed to\nstand his trial at the next court\nof competent jurisdiction. He was\ntaken to Nanaimo by the police\nthis morning.\nThe appended statement appeared in a recent issue of the\nLadysmith Chronicle:\n\"As there has been a rumor\npersistently circulated that the\nU.M.W. of A. had no money to\nsupport the striking miners here\nand elsewhere, and being in close\ntouch with Mr. Irvine, the financial agent of the union, I am taking the trouble to deny the rumor\nand give the facts as I know them\nand have proof in my possession.\nOn Friday, the Hth inst., Mr.\nIrvine received a cheque for $5,-\n000 for relief purposes. On Sunday, the 16th, a telegram received\nby him from Edwin Perry, the\nNational Secretary-Treasurer of\nthe organization informed him\nthat $5,000 additional had been\nwired him, and another $5,000 in\nthe mails. Before depositing this\nmoney, Mr. Irvine had to his\ncredit in the union's bank on the\nisland $5,439.75. This should lay\nthe fearful phantom of bankruptcy that has been let loose on the\npeople. We can continue this\nfight indefinitely, if necessary,\nhaving the support of 500,000 men\nat our back.\n\"Everything is quiet at Cunv\nberland in spite of the import*\ntion of 100 provincial police.

But supposing he has,\nwhat does that amount to distributed between the men out of\nwork at Cumberland and Ladysmith and the women and children depending on them after\nbeing on a holiday for almost\nthree months. We would ask him\nwhat it would amount to per day.\nThe pay roll in this place alone,\nwhile these members of the U.M.\nW. of A. have been having a good\ntheir good time as they call it,\nwould amount to almost half a\nmillion of money. Yet Mr. Mc\nKenzie takes the trouble to deny\nthe rumor that the U.M.W. of A.\nhas a depleted treasury. The request for funds appeared in their\nown official organ. He says they\ncan continue the fight indefinitely\nwith 500,000 men at their back.\nDoes he think for a moment that\nthose men are going to support\nthe U.M.W. of A. on Vancouver\nIsland knowing that they have\nalready met their Waterloo by\nthe method they adopted at the\ncommencement of this trouble.\nThe local president, long before\nthe trouble arose, said, with outstretched arms on the playground\nof this city, that the U.'M. VV. of\nA. would not stand for discrimination. That was the only point\nat issue at that time. Before the\nholiday lasted a week it was\nproved conclusively through the\ncolumns of this paper that no discrimination existed. Frank Far-\ningdon, a member of the national\nexecutive board, when asked by\na representative of this paper\nwhat is the issue that the U.M.\nW. of A. has to lay before the\nmanagement in the event of their\nbeing able to obtain an interview\nhe said he knew of no particular\nissue. He either tried to evade\nthe issue or refused to divulge it.\nHe also said the Canadian Collieries may wipe the U. M. W. of A.\noff the island, but they wont do\nit without a fight.

The had evidently\nsecured about twenty-five sticks^\nof dynamite and placed it under\nthe bridge, attached a long piece\nof fuse, which may have extended into the woods, which they\nlighted. It being a clear and\nfrosty night the dynamite must\nhave frozen, and by the time the\nlighted fuse had reached the cap\nthe dynamite just burnt up in\nplace of exploding, as it would\nhave done under ordinary conditions, and destroyed the bridge.\nAs it is one of the uprights is\nburnt from the effects of the fire\ncaused by the burning of the\ndynamite. The bridge is situated\nabout four mile from Union Bay,\nand crosses the Trent River with\nabout 120 feet of a span and is\n35 feet high. The Canadian\nCollieries coal track runs over the\nbridge from Cumberland to Union\nBay. It was undoubtedly the\nintention of the perpetrators to\nblow up the bridge to prevent the\nCoal Company's locomotives from\nhauling coal to Union Bay, the\nshipping point for the Canadian\nCollieries (Dunsmuir) Ltd.\nLadysmith Men Sign Agreement\nThe Ladysmith Chronicle prints\nthe following statement:\u00E2\u0080\u0094A representative of the Chronicle in\nconversation with Mr. Cunningham, was informed that the\nCumberland situation is improving every day. The output is\nbeing increased as fast as the\ndemands of the market warrant\nit and at present it is upwards of\n1,000 tons. Mr. Cunningham\nstated that as soon as the Cumberland mines were unable to\nmeet the demand the Extension\nmines-will be opened again. Already a number of men desiring\nto resume work at Extension as\nsoon as operations have commenced have put in their applications and signed the company's\nagreement. No. 1 mine will be\nopened first, and then a section\nof No. 2 mine; but No. 3 mine\ncannot resume work for some\ntime until the ventilation conditions are improved there.\nMr. Cunningham stated further\nthat the output at Cumberland\nMonday amounted to 1256 tons.\nYouth's Companion\nThe youth's Companion appeals\nto every interest of family life,\nfrom housekeeping to athletics.\nIt begins with stories of youthful\nvim and vigor, with articles which\ndisclose the secrets of successful\nplay in the great games, with\ncharming tales of life at the girls'\ncolleges, But The Companion\ndoes not surrender these readers\nwhen they have entered the more\nserious paths of life.

The reduced\nBUpply of oxygen caused hy the rapid\nmovement and the fall of the atmospheric pressure gives rise to vomiting nnd visual hallucination...\nA dangerous and frequent symptom\nis the desire for sleep, occurring some\ntime during flying, In spite of the\naviator's strenuous efforts to keep\nawake.\nA very unpleasant sensation is that\nof dizziness caused by the altitude of\nthe aeroplane, tlin result being that\nobjects on thft ground appear to be\ndistorted, displaced, or In rapid unwonted movement, and that the aviator Ir often at a loss a? to h's actual\nposition. Perhaps this condition is\nresponsible for Inexplicable falls of\naeroplanes from a moderate height,\nSometimes tho aviator does not know\nwhether ho Is In tho horizontal position or not. especially when he is surrounded by clouds.\nThe late Mr. Latham told Dr. von\nSchrotter that on one occasion he was\ncompletely bewildered after a few\nminutes' experience of this kind, and\ncamo to the ground without his knowledge. It Is belloved that flying may\neasily cause a nervous breakdown.\nRates and the Cost of Living\nA citizen of Woe tern Canada Is\nbreakfasting at an Ottawa hotel on\nbread and butter, bacon, eggs and\ncoffee. Tho waiter hands him the\nbill,,which Is more than it used to he\nwhen be was thete a few years ago,\nand. of course, he lays the blame on\nrail rates,\nLet us consider the facts. The\nrate on flout from Winnipeg to Ottawa in car-load lots, all-rail, is SO ceuts\nper 100 pounds, say 60 cents for a\nbarrel of 1-86 pounds. Manitoba flour\nbeing stroiu; and well-matured, the\nOttawa baker ls able to make I'M]\noaves, each weighing il,-i pounds, from\na barrel, the addition of water and\nyeast accounting for tho seemingly\nmiraculous increase fn the flour. Assuming that our friend eats heartily\nof bread, wc get down to this sum\nin Hule of Three:\u00E2\u0080\u0094If the rail rate on\nLhe principal raw material of 11*6\nloaves ls tio cents, what portion of lt\nIs paid by tha consumer of half a loaf.\nThe hotel pays flvo cents or so per\nloaf, but may charge him twice or\nthree times chat much for half a one.\nIn any event it Is evident that tlte\nnil rate constitutes the merest fraction of the lirst cost of the bread.\nThat a barrel of flour sbouid be carried 1300 miles for tiO cents is, if one\ncomes to think of It, nothing short of\nwonderful. In Kastern Canada it\ncosts 26 cens or thereabouts to move\na barrel by horse nnd wagon from the\nrailway statiou to the nearest house\nin town.\nThe bacon is brought to Ottawa from\nToronto and the Canadian Pacific rate\nfor ear-load lots is 20 cents per 100\npounds. The butter and eggs come\nfrom Smith's Falls aud the rate for\nless than car-loud lots is 15 and 19\nceuts per 100 pounds respectively. We\nneed uot trouble ourselves about the\ncoffee.\nBacon retails In Ottawa just now\nfor 25 and butter for 30 cents per\npound, and eggs for 30 cents per dozen. Onco more, therefore, the rail\nrale is u wholly insignificant factor\nin Ute composition of thc price, and\nconsequently ir. the Westerner's hotel\nbill.\nHere, however, we see the beneficent working of the principle of\ncharging what the traffic will hear,\nwhich he savs is an outrageous principle because it means that the railways mulct the settler for all he can\npay and live.

He characterized as humiliating,\ndegrading and pauperising, the position that Canada should\nreceive future safety at the hands and costs of the British\ntaxpayer. To Sir Wilfrid Laurier he said, \" Go on with your\nnaval service. Proceed slowly, cautiously and surely. Lay\nyour proposals before the people and give them if necessary\nopportunity to be heard, but do not forget that we are confronted with an emergency which may rend this empire\nasunder before the proposed service is worthy of the name. In\nthe face of such a situation immediate, vigorous, earnest action\nis necssary. We have no dreadnoughts ready ; we hnve no\nlleet unit at hand. But we have the resources, and I trust the\npatriotism to provide a fleet unit or at least a Dreudnaught\nwithout one moment's unnecessary del.ii/. Or, in my opinion\nthis would be the better course, we can place the equivalent in\ncash at the disposal of the Admiralty to be used for naval\ndefence under such conditions as we may prescribe. In taking\nthis course we sball fulfil not only in tliu letter but in the\nspirit as well the resolution of March last, and what is infinitely\nmore important we shall discharge a great patriotic duty to\nour country and to the whole empire.\"\nThe position taken by Mr. Borden and his followers on\nJanuary 12 was emphasized on February 3, again on April 20,\nand yet again on November 21 in the same year. On February 3 Mr. Borden said that \"to attempt to force a permanent\npolicy of this kind upon the people of this country without\ngiving them an opportunity of saying yea or nay with regard\nto it, would be one of the worst mistakes that cmiiil be made\nby any man who really favored that policy.\" Further on,\n\"What the people of this country want, as far rs any man can\njudge who has observed the currents of public opinion, what\nthe people of this, country desire, is immediate uiid effective aid\nto tho era/'ire, and to have any proposals of a permanent character very carefully considered and matured, as ihey ought to\nlie considered and matured, before any sueh policy i.s embarked\nupon, because there are a great many considerations that must\nbe taken into account.\" Mr. Burden expressed confidence in\nthe willingness of Canadians of French descent to join with the\nEnglish speaking citizens. \"Thus,\" he said, \"let our aid be\nprompt and generous, so that it may bring to the motherland\nlhe assurance not only of material support but of a courage, n\nfaith and a determination which shall proclaim alike to friend\nand foe that whether in peace or war the empire is one and\nundivided,\" It will be recalled that when Mr, Borden concluded with an amendment calling for a contribution suflicient for\nthe purchase of two battleships of the latest dreadnaught type,\nthe Conservative members to a man rose and sang \"God Save\nthe King.\".. .\nOn April 20 Mr. Borden ngain declared that \"I regard\nthe subject of permanent co-operation by Cauada in the naval\ndefence of the Empire as one that should properly be submitted\nto the people of this country before any plan of permanent\nco-operation is entered upon by Canada.\"\nTo the People\nV\nof Cumberland\nand Vicinity\nWe have small acre*\nage, very good, abso*\nlutely clear, one mile\nfrom the New Mine,\nNo. 8, 3'4 of a mile\nfrom the New Power\nPlant and one and one\nhalf miles from Courtenay.\nNAIL SERVICE\nTerms very easy, one-fifth cash, balance\nover two years.\nDrop us a card for prices or Phone 22\nCourtenay\nThe\nMails for Dispatch:\u00E2\u0080\u0094Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo, etc.:\nTuesday, 7.15 p.m.; Thursday,\nand Saturday, 6 a.m.\nComox and District:\u00E2\u0080\u0094Tuesday,\n12.15 p.m.; Wednesday and Friday, 4.30 p.m.\nPer SS.
