FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1912.\nPrice, Five Cents.\nNO. 54.\nCATCHING ROBBERS\nStory of the Shadowing of HcNamara\nCharged With Robbing Bank at\nNew Westminster.\nAttempt to Puss Off Hills Proves (lie\nDownfall of the (Jang Which\nCommit led Hit' Crime\nThe way in which McNamara,\ncharged with being connected with\nthe New Westminster bank robbery,\nwas captured by the police in New\nYork is fully told in the Times of\nthat city..\nCentral Office detectives, working\nwith the Pinkertou Detective Agency,\narrested John McNamara, alia John\nMcNab, alias John Morgan, best\nknown throughout his criminal career as \"Australian Mack,\" charging him with robbing the branch\nbank of the Bank of Montreal at\nNew Westminster, B. C, on September 15 last, when over $375,000 in\ngold and negotiable currency was\nstolen, one of the largest single hauls\never made by burglars in North\nAmerica.\nMcNamara's arrest, according to\nSecond Deputy Police Commissioner\nDougherty, will result in the recovery of nearly all of the stolen money, very little of which is believed\nto have found its way into circulation. He described McNamara as the\n\"Commissioner of Crooks.\" He said\nhe was one of the \"highest class'\ncrooks known to the police. The\nprisoner Is of powerful build and\nweighs over 250 pounds. He is 49\nyears old, but looks no older than\n3fi, He always dresses well and\nlooks 'ike a prosperous business\nman.\nThere are believed to have been\nfive men in the gang. A clerk slept\nIn the bank every night, but was\nabsent on this night for the first\ntime in bis life. He had worked over\nthe books until after midnight on\nSeptember 14. The burglars entered\nwith pass keys, and a Chinese watchman inside was bound and gagged\nand tied to a post in the cellar. A\nhole was bored through a brick wall\nleading to the safe, and after plugging all holes with the bed clothes\nfrom the clerk's bed an electric wire\nwas used to touch off a charge of\nnitro-glycerine by means of the detonation process, which only the\n\"high class' burglars are supposed\nto know anything about. The explosion completely destroyed the\nsafe, and yet was not heard by a\npoliceman who stood a few yards\naway from the front of the bank.\nThe burglars took their loot away\nin a stolen automobile and a stolen\nlaunch. It was so heavy that a\na pack of bills containing $5,000\nwas dropped on the street. This was\nlater found in the possession of a\ntramp, who was trying to spend it\nin the Chinese quarter in Vancouver. Another $24,000 in bills was\nhidden under a boardwalk and found\na lew months later. With the exception of about $10,000 in gold and\nsilver the rest of the money, over\n$250,000, was in negotiable bills of\nfrom $5 to $100 denominations. The\nnumber of every bill was known, and\nnotices were sent to every bank In\nthe world to be on the lookout for\ntheir presentation.\nA few days ago Police Commissioner Waldo received a telegram\nfrom Chief of Police Bradshaw of\nNew Westminster that negotiations\nwere under way to exchange a large\npart of the stolen Canadian bills for\nUnited States money In Now York\nCity. It was not supposed for a\nmoment, however, that. \"Australian\nMack\" was himself in the city. Only\nlast Friday, in fact, a supposed\nmember of the gang was arrested\nin Lob Angeles, and it was assumed\nthat \"Mack\" was somewhere in the\nwest.\nTwo months ago a man named\nGeorge Hendrix accepted $1,000 in\n$5 bills in Buffalo and presented\nthem to his bank for deposit. They\nwere refused, and Hendrix received\n$100 as the promised 10 per cent\nreward for any portion of the stolen\nbills which would be returned. He\nBald that he had accepted the money\nIn a bet in a gambling house, and\ngave a description of the man who\ngave them. This description, according to the Plnltertons, was that of\nMcNamara.\nWord came from Vancouver that\na man of that description had been\nseen there about the time the burglary was committed. The police\nhere, as well as the Plnkertons, were\non the lookout for McNamara since\nthat time.\nSince New Year's Eve six men suspected of being engaged In negotiations for exchanging the stolen money have been shadowed. Commissioner Dougherty learned that these\nmen reported to McNamara, who\nkept in the background. He lived\nat Fort Lee, and seldom came to\nBroadway. The arrest was delayed,\nIt was said at the Pinkerton office,\nin order to make the arrest of two\nothers suspected In the rank robbery.\nYesterday afternoon Detectives\nReilly and Woolridge followed McNamara from the Fort Lee Ferry to\nAmsterdam Avenue and 133d Street.\nHe met another man there, apparently by appointment. The man did nol\nappear anxious to talk to McNamara,\nhowever, and after a few moments of\nconversation the detectives approached McNamara and laid their hands\non his shoulder, one on either side.\n\"We want you,\" they said.\n\"What for?\" asked McNamara,\nbacking away and showing signs of\nresistance.\nImmediately the detectives clapped their hands on their prisoners'\npockjts, having received information\nthat he would be heavily armed. He\nhad no weapon on his person, however.\n\"Show your warrant,\" shouted\nMcNamara.\nThe detectives had a warrant\nsigned by Magistrate McAdoo, and\nMcNamara then consented to go with\nthem to police headquarters.\n\"What do you want with me, anyhow?\" the prisoner said to Commissioner Doughertyin the latter's office about an hour later.\n\"You are wanted for burglary in\nNew Westminster,\" replied the commissioner.\n\"Oh, is that all,\" said McNamara,\nsmiling. \"I thought it was for some\nmore serious charge.\"\nHe had in his possession $1,100\nin American money, none of which,\nit was admitted, was a part of the\nstolen money. The prisoner admitted, according to the commissioner,\nthat he had lived In the Strand Hotel\nin Vancouver some time last year.\n\"This prisoner,\" said Mr. Dougherty, \"is the one we have been looking for. He used to be the proprietor of the Turtle, situated at the\nentrance of Golden Gate Park, in\nSan Francisco; also of the Log Cabin\nCafe, two noted resorts. He has been\narrested a number of times in various parts of the United States, and\nhis number in our gallery is 5,414.\n\"On May 7, 1897, he was arrested\nin this city on the charge of burglary. On September 1(4, 1S99, he\nwas arrested in Boston, charged with\nbeing a pickpocket and burglar. On\nJuly 7, 1900, he was arrested in\nCleveland. On December 2, 1900,\nhe was arrested in Louisville while\nacting suspiciously in the Insurance\nBank, with Herman Diehm and\nGeorge Carson, bank sneak thieves.\nIn McNamara's possession were\nBADLY MUTILATED COAL MINE STRIKE\nMiner Killed by Premature Explosion Decision Reached by the Colliery Workers\nby Prying Lid of Box of in Ballot Taken on the\nCaps.\nIn Spite of Fact That Eyes Were\nBlown Out and Hands Shot Off\nHe Crawled to Cabin\nVancouver, Jan. 18.\u00E2\u0080\u0094While engaged in prying the lid off a box of\nfulminate of mercy caps, Eugene\nSmith, a miner working a claim near\nGranite Bay, had his eyes blown out\nand both hands blown off at the\nwrist.

Upton\nRunnalls, In addition to his other\nwork, looks after the collection of\nsuccession duties, and the public ac-\niounts just published show the value\nof his office to the province in this\nrespect. The revenue from succession duties In 1909 was $8,791.41,\nin 1910 $21,169.91, and for the year\njust closed $(14,057.30. There is DOW\nbeing collected a much larger revenue due the province from large\nestates of which it was formerly derived through (lie under-estinialimi\nof estates values. This is due to the\nprinciple Introduced by Mr. Runnalls, who, when anything oilier than\na reasonably true value is put In, tins\nthe matter referred to an.

At last Prince Rupert will again have an indoor baseball league\nLast evening a large and enthusiastic crowd of fans assembled in the\npolice station to discuss baseball\nmatters. Representatives from four\nteams were present who had already\nsecured picked teams. The teams\nnow in the field are the Royals,\nCrescents, Quill Drivers, and Morrison's. Before the end of the week\nat least five more teams are expected to be in the league.\nThe four teams already formed\nhave as their captains and managers\nthe following: Quill Drivers, Evans\nand Vance; Crescents, Devitt( captain); Royal Blues, Ramsay and\nCorley; Morrison's, Morrison (cap-\nfain and manager).\nNelson Dunn was appointed to act\nas umpire..\nThe other teams arc expected to be\nformed at. once. Next Thursday\nevening another meeting will be held\nat the police station, at which time\na schedule will be made out. The\nseries will start the first week in\nFebruary.\nMARATHON RECORDS\nAccording to some sporting notes\nfrom Tokio, Japan, the athletic authorities there have already started\nwith their Iryouts for the Olympic\ngames. Like the other nations, they\nare not going to wait until the last\nminute to see the class of material\nthey have got, but are taking time\nby the forelock. The first event to\nbe tried by the Japs was the Marathon, and It is said that a string of\nnearly 400 went over the full classic\ndistance of 26 miles 385 yards. In\nthe account giving the description of\nthe race the name of the winner is\ncarefully omitted, but that makes no\ndifference anyway, for even if it\nwere given only a small percentage\nof the world would know how to get\ntheir tongues around the proper pro-\nnounciation. What the account did\nnot fail to mention was that the\nwinner beat the record by eleven\nminutes. As there is a wide range\nand classification of Marathan records it is Impossible to know which\none the Jap flier bowled over.\nSince the Olympic revival there\nhave been five big Marathons, that\nthose in connection with the Olympic games. The best time made so\nfar is 2.51:23 3-6, and this was made\non the original course from the village of Marathon to the stadium at.\nAthens in 1906. The runner was\nSherring of Canada, and had not the\nday been so warm and the roads so\nfearfully dusty he would surely have\nrun much faster. For the Jap to\nrun 11 minutes faster than Slier-\nring's mark is a highly meritorious\nfeat, and If he should repeat it at\nStockholm he would need some\nwatching.\nOn the books the fastest time for\nthe classic, distance by an amateur\nis 2.36:26 1-5, by Matt Maloney on\nDecember 26, 1908, and It is noteworthy as being the world's best\nmark.\nOPENING FOOTBALL\nThe first round of the British\nFootball Association Cup series was\nplayed last Saturday, attracting the\nusual big crowds and providing customary surprises. Of these the most\noutstanding feature was the defeat\nof the league champions, Newcastle\nUnited, by Derby County, a second\ndivision eleven, by the big margin of\nthree goals to nil. Of the first division teams which clashed, West\nBromwich Albion beat Tottenham\nHotspur, while Middlebrouogh and\nSheffield Wednesday drew. Manchester City beat Preston North End and\nBollon Wanderers bent Woolwich\nArsenal. Sheffield United wore\nbeaten by Chelsea, and Hie cup hollies. Bradford City, could only draw\nWilli Queens Park Rangers, a southern league team. Drawn results will\nbe played off.

Not satisfied with securing Fitzgerald, Spring\nand Len Turnbull from the British\nColumbia Lacrosse League, Torontos\nare now after Gibbons, a Vancouver\ngoaltender, and expects to land him\nshortly. Another Vancouver home\nplayer is also said to be coming east.\nTorontos offered Cory Hess $1,200,\nwhile Fitzgerald is said to have been\noffered $1,500. With Con Jones\naroused, when he finds that the eastern clubs are getting after him in\nearnest, there is no telling how high\nhe will go.\nAt the Big Four meeting in Toronto on January 25 it is probable\nthat the learn limit will be raised to\ntwenty men. This means that the\nclubs will actually carry that number\nand will prevent teams from reserving players of ability whom they cannot use.\nTEACHERS' RESOLUTIONS\nConclusion Readied nt Annual convention Held in New Westminster\nAt the recent convention of the\nCoast Teachers of the Province held\nIn New Westminster the following\nresolutions were adopted:\nThat all free text books he given\noutright to all the pupils.\nThat the paper on nature study\ncontain an optional question In manual training and one in domestic\nscience.\nThat the boards be empowered to\nii.ake more liberal provision tor\nteachers who are unable to report for\nduty on account of illness.\nThat the entrance examination in\nliterature be (a) extensive as regards \"The Lady of the Lake\" or\nother long poems to be from time\nto time prescribed; and (b) intensive as to a limited number of\nselections from the Fourth Reader;\nand (c) that: the memory selections\nbe limited and indefinitely prescribed.\nThat Immediate steps be taken for\ntlie appointment of an advisory council of education as this has received\nthe expressed approval of the minister of education, said council to\nhave thereon representatives from\nthe various branches of public instruction.\nThat the texts now prescribed in\nour schools in Canadian History, Hygiene, Geography, are ill adapated\nfor class room use and that Immediate steps be taken to prescribe\nmore suitable texts in these subjects.\nThat the High School entrance be\nfurther curtailed by the omission of\npartial payments, present worth and\ntrue discount.\nThat history and geography be restored to the High School curriculum\nand the course in history to include\na general sketch of ancient, medieval\nand modern history British and Canadian constitutional questions to receive special attention.\nThat pupils on entrance examinations be given distinguishing numbers, as is done in the High School\nexaminations.

HOBSON DEAD\nword for tie Yiar 1911 Kcde by the\nVarious Fishing Vessels Operating\nin the North.\nKetchikan Plant to lie Enlarged by\nthe New English Pish\nCompany\nTo the steamer Kingfisher and\nFlamingo, fishing out of Vancouver,\nfell the honor of securing the most\nhalibut lor the year lull, according\nio a return compiled by the New\nEngland Fisli Company of ancouver,\nThe Kingfisher was head boat witli\nthe Flamingo second, and they secured better catches than any of tlie\nvessels fishing from Seattle or Ta-\ncoma.\nThe year of 1911 resulted in approximately 17,000,000 pounds of\nfresh and frozen fish being taken,\nbut this is smaller than the preceding year. The closing months of last\nyear were notable for extremely bad\nweather and small catches, and despite the fact that fishermen worked\nharder and went farther north in\ntheir efforts to secure halibut, Ihe\ncatches tell away to an alarming extent.\nDuring last year the New England\nFish Company added one vessel to\nits fleet, the Prospector, fishing\nfrom Seattle, and the company's Canadian branch, the Canadian Fishing\nCompany Limited, completed the\nlargest fish freezing and fish storage\nplant on the continent, without exception. Within a few days a start\nwill be made on the construction of\na smoke plant attached to the freezing plant at the Terminal City.\nThe catch during the last three\nmonths has been the poorest on record, and it has been decided to tie\nup the Kingfisntsi and New England\nfor the winter until March. This is\nthe first time that any of the boats\nhave been obliged to lay up owing\nto the bad weather and small takes.\nIt is intended to fish the Prospector\nand the Manhattan out of Ketchikan\nand ship the catches to Vancouver\nand Seattle, and operate the Flamingo and Celestial Empire out of\nVancouver. The Flamingo is now at\nEsquimau, completing repairs, and\nwill probably proceed to Vancouver.\nA. L.

Kidman of Sydney Fears Australia\nWill lose Canadian Market for\nFrozen Meat and Butter\nThat the frozen meat and butter\ntrade between Australia and Canada\nand the United States is gradually\nslipping away from the Commonwealth and going to New Zealand Instead, owing to the fact that the\nlatter now has first call on the refrigerated space in the mail steamers\nand enjoys a tariff advantage over\nAustralia of one cent per pound on\nboth meat and butter under a reciprocal agreement, is the statement\nmade in Sydney, Australia, by Arthur\nKidman, who has helped in building\nup the frozen meat and butter trade\nbetween the countries mentioned\nabove.\n\"I have travelled through Canada\nand America to London almost yearly for the past twelve years,'' he said,\n\"and have taken a very keen interest in trade relations between Canada and Australia, also the United\nStates, and 1 can claim to have pioneered tlie frozen meat and butter\ntrade between these countries. There\nare now several other shippers besides myself. Whilst travelling\nthrough Ottawa on several occasions\n1 always interviewed T. C. O'Hara\n(deputy minister of trade and commerce), who has continually expressed his keen disappointment at\nAustralia's disinclination to appreciate Canada'! overtures for a reciprocal tarlf arrangement. I think our\nprevious governments have been perfectly justified in refusing to grant\nCanada a reciprocal tariff, for the\nreason that our exports to them were\ninsignificant as compared with our\nimports from their country, but during the past two or three years trade\nrelations have considerably changed,\nand our exports to and our imports\nfrom Canada have appreciably Increased. The time has arrived when\nour government should take a decided step in the interests of Australian shippers, with a view of making some satisfactory tariff arrangement with Canada.\n\"It is undoubtedly a fact that\nAustralia is most advantageously\nplaced for the purpose of acting as\nfood suppliers to the west coasts\nof Canada and America, also interior\npoints, and providing a substantial\nreduction of their duty took place,\nour exports of food products\u00E2\u0080\u0094frozen\nmeat, butter, canned meats, onions,\npotatoes, fresh fruits, etc., but particularly the three former, would\ndecidedly show a rapid increase.\n\"The Australian shipper's position\nhas been becoming more seriously\njeopardized day by day through the\nabsence of a reciprocal arrangement\nwith Canada, and also of some recognized Australian steamship service.\nFrozen meat and frozen butter from\nNew Zealand enter Canada at a halfpenny per pound less than meat and\nbutter from Australia, and all other\nfood products, etc., have a similar\nadvantage. It. is, therefore, obvious\nto anyone, on this account alone, that\nNew Zealand must now get the Canadian business.\n\"The frozen meat and butter trade,\nalso the trade in other food products, has been pioneer and exclusively built up by Australia, and the relinquishing of the Canadian-Australian service without previously having arranged a reciprocal agreement\nwith Canada, has resulted in the\nCanadian-Australian trade being\nhanded over almost in its entirety\nready-made and firmly established\nin New Zealand, who hitherto have\ntaken no part in tl]e pioneering work\nor the establishing of this trade.\"\nMOW CANADA-TO-GULF LINK\nLondon Takes $20,007,000 Bonds\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nWork to Begin at Once\nThe Kansas Utilities Commission\nhas granted permission to the Win-\nnine.;, Salina & Gulf Railroad to\nissue $29,997,000 in .1 per cent gold\nbonds In build the new line at\nSalina.\nThe issue, which has been sold in\nLondon, covers the construction of\n1,080 miles of line.

This interesting fact to the consumers of Canada is furnished by statistics from\nthe Labor Department.\nThe department index number of\nwholesale prices stood at 130.S In\nNovember, as compared with 130.5 in\nIhe preceding month, and 122 in the\ncorresponding month of last year.\nThe numbers are percentages in each\ncase of the average price level prevailing during the decade, 1890-1899,\nthe period selected by the department as the standard of comparison\nthroughout its Investigation Into\nwholesale prices. Over two hundred\narticles carefully selected by the department, so as to represent Canadian production and consumption,\nare included in the calculation.\nWholesale prices In the aggregate\nare on practically the same level as\nIn the preceding month, but are considerably higher than at, the same period In 19in. Tlie chief Increases\nduring tho past year contributing lo\nthe result occurred In grains and\nfodders, miscellaneous foods and\nmetals, there having been a decrease\nin animals and meats, while the other\ngroups for the most part have remained steady. A rise in grain\nprices and a fall in meals were also\nfeatures of the past month.\nAs compared wilh November of\nlast year, eight groups of commodities show a decrease, while ten\ngroups show an Increase.\nThe groups which show a decrease.\ntogether with that decrease as based\non the standard, are as follows:\nAnimals and meats, from 157.8 in\n1910 to 137.8 in 1911; fresh meats,\nfrom 156.0 to 152.S; texti'es, from\n119.5 to 111.9; fuel and lighting,\nfrom 100.2 to 95.8; miscellaneous\nlumber materials, from 106.3 to\n96.3; paints, oils, etc., from 162.3\nto 152.0; drugs and chemicals, from\n108.5 to 107.0; furs, from 285.9 to\n255.2. Only two groups have during recent years dropped to below\nthe standard, while one group, furs,\nhas gone far above it.\nThe groups which show an increase for November of this year, as\ncompared with November of last, are\nas follows: Grains and fodders, from\n129.9 to 165.2; dairy produce, from\n148.2 to 149.3; miscellaneous foods,\nfrom 112.1 to 125.5; hides, leathers and boots, from 134.0 to 141,9;\nmetals, from 106.7 to 116.7; implements, from 105.1 to 106.1; lumber,\nfrom 161.S to 162.2; house furnishings, from l 07,4 to 111.1; liquors\nand tobaccos, from I 17.1 to 122.0;\nsundries, from 108.8 to 110.8; average for November of this year, 130;\nNovember of last year, 122.0.\nThe problem of the steady Increase\n'in the cost of living during the past\nI few years, which has borne most\nheavily on the salary earning classes,\nis one of the vital elements which\nmust enter into the deliberations of\nthe tariff commission to be established dining the present session of\nParliament.\nBIG MI1I0 l.\ OSAKA\nThousands ol Inhabitants In Poorer\nDistricts Have Been Left\nHomeless\nToklo, Jan. 111.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Five thousand\nhomes have been destroyed by a fire\nwhich is raging in Osaka.

Wilkie and C.\nE, Cartwrights\nControlling more dredging and\nhydraulic gold bearing ground than\nthe Yukon Gold Company, owned by\nthe Guggenheims, whose invasion of\nthe Klondike he made possible, A. M.\nTreadgold, a well known mining\noperator, passed through the city\nyesterday, says the Vancouver News-\nAdvertiser, on his way to London,\nEngland, to consolidate all his interests in one big corporation with a\nprobable capitalization of about\n$10,000,000. This modern Monte\nChristo spent the past summer in the\nnorth completing deals for additional\npurchases and waiting for the completion of a power line which supplied electrical energy to a territory\nwithin a radius of sixty miles of the\nYukon capital. His total disbursements during tlie past six months for\nclaims and improvements are said\nto exceed $1,200,000. He now owns\nvirtually all the best hydraulic\nground on Dominion, Sulphur, Gold\nRun, Flat Creek, as well as valuable\ndredging leases on the Klondike\nRiver.\nMost of the liydraulicing area was\noperated In ,a crude way by placer\nminers in the early days of the Klondike and yielded fortunes aggregating millions of dollars. The installation of giant monitors and elevators, it is expected, will enable Mr.\nTreadgold's company to rework all\nthis ground at a great profit. A\nprogramme of improvement which\nwill take several years to get into\nshape has been adopted. A ditch and\npipe line has already been completed. Dredges have been ordered from\nDominion Creek, and will be assembled next summer in time to go into\ncommission before tlie season. Additional expenditures include the\nplacing of dredges on the Klondike\nRiver, as well as on several of the\ncreeks, and will involve the expenditure of at least $2,500,000.\nThe principal holdings are now\nvested in the Granville Mining Company and there with the power interests will be turned over to the new\ncorporation now being organized\nwith the co-operation of London capitalists. Mr. Treadwell has had a\nromantic and strenuous career in the\nKlondike since the first days of the\nfamous gold rush. It has been his\nfate at various periods to 1 jtmesi\nfate to experience at var'ous periods\na share of adversity as well as phenomenal good luck. Friends state\nthat he is now lining up for a grand\nfinal \"cleanup.\" lie came out over\nthe ice last week, and although zero\nweather was encountered, suffered\nno severe hardships.\nOmineca Land District \u00E2\u0080\u0094 Hazelton\nDivision\nTAKE NOTICE that I, R.

Of\nthere the first, and most Important,\nis the shifting of tlie capital from\nCalcutta, where English viceroys\nhave resided for many years, to the\nancient Mogul city of Delhi. The\nprecise scope of the other change is\nnot quite clear from tlie dispatches\nho far received, but it seems that\nthe viceroy and his,council, with the\nconsent of the British cabinet, have\ndecided practically to undo Lord\nCurzon's much debated policy of the\npartition of Bengal, creating a new\ngovernorship for that vast province,\nwhich will reunite the Bengali speaking peoples whom Lord Curzon separated for reasons partly political\nand partly administrative, says the\nBrooklyn Eagle.\nDelhi can claim the most picturesque and varied history of any\ncity in India. Afghons, Moguls, Mah-\nrattas, Persians and British have\nsuccessfully held it. It was robbed\nof the georgeous Peacock Throne\nwhen Nadir Shah plundered it in\nthe middle of the eighteenth century\nand carried back to Teheran fifty\nmillion dollars in gold and silver,\nbesides jewels of incalculable value.\nIt came into the hands of the British in 1803 when Lord Lake overthrew the Mahratta squadrons under\nIts walls. The brief restablishment\nof Indian rule during the great Mutiny of 1857 is recalled by men still\nliving, as, also, are the Incidents of\nthe famous siege, such as the blowing up and storming of the Kashmir\nGate that cost the British more than\na thousand killed, among whom was\nJohn Nicholson, one of the noblest\nfigures in Indian history. The Delhi\nof today dates only from the middle\nof the seventeenth century, but it\nstands upon the ruins of older cities,\nsome relics of which are still preserved.\nThe moving of the capital and the\nestablishment of a new governorship in Bengal come as a great surprise to the great majority of both\nparties in England. Lord Curzon,\nthe former viceroy of India; Lord\nLansdowne, leader of the Opposition in the House of Lords, and\nBonar Law, leader of the Opposition\nin the House of Commons, have all\nexpressed their astonishment and announced that they intend to question\nthe government closely in regard to\nboth changes as soon as the Durbar\nfestivities are over. The government at home and the government In\nIndia will not, however, recede one\nstep. The shift of the new capital\nand the creation of the new governorship are the results of long and\ncareful deliberation on the part of\nthe present Indian administration,\nwhich feels that Lord Curzon's\nadroitly conceived policy of playing\noff the Mohammedans against the\nHindus has not produced the results\nexpected of It. Whether the conciliatory attitude of the Hardlnge administration toword the Hindus, an\nattitude expressed in the reunion of\nBengal, will tend to cure the political unrest from which violence and\nmurder have sprung can only be conjectured. Obviously, tho Indion Office in London and Ihe Indian administration in Calcutta have high\nhopes. Time alone will show\nWhether those hopes are well\nfounded.\nPit Stay Satisfactory\"fi&nge\nGood, Sound Reasons for\nMONARCH Economy\nMonarch Ranges are built so that they can\nsever have \"air leaks\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nFor around every opening into the body there\nis a Malleable Iron frame to which the\nsteel is riveted.\nNo putty is needed in such joints.
