VOLUME 19. CRANBIlOOK, B.O. SATURDAY MORNING MAY Hth. NUMBER 19 Vital to British Columbia Development of Japanese Question in California Watched by British Government London.—The Htatomout attributed to Hon. Rodolphe Lomicux atter his mission to Tokyo that, but for the llrltlsh ting, Canada might bo compelled to discuss tbe JapaneBo immigration difficulty under cover of .lapnneso guns lu Vancouver Harbor, suggests that the British Government is wntchlng with ncute anxiety the development of the .inpiiiiew question in (.nil: urn In. Canada's Immigration compact with Japan follows closely that between the United Stntes and the Mikado's government, us shown in the recent discussions of the treaty ln the Can- Adlnn House of Commons, nnd dlpto mats agree that should California's action compel Japan to Insist upon citizen rights oqunl to those granted white i-accs, thc whole question of .Inpnncno status ln British Columbia ns well nn In California and otber ntntes will be raised in n most awkward form. DHNY MONGOLIAN ORIGIN. The London Times today says: "Tho Japanese themselves arc said to .leny their Mongolian origin, but eveu tiie United Slates Supreme Court cannot pierce the mists In whlcb thc birth of the Japanese race is shrouded. The real contention is that by thc adoption of western civilization, nnd the signal successes of their nrms by land and _a, they earned the right to substantial relief from tho disabilities which beset the Asiatic in other lands. The s tuatlon is so fraught with possibilities that acrimonious discussion wt* earnestly hope, wlll ho avoided. Public feeling In Japan is strongly aroused, thla ls made cloar Irom the many indignation meotlngs that hnve been held, and tbo Japanese consider the lm- mediate dispute to he merely symbolical of the whole question of tbelr tnture status In the world. Jnpen Is thought to be cherishing no impossible dreams o! gaining u foothold on the American continent, hut she is leenly resentful oi the implications ot racial Inferiority, lt is the humiliation that -wounds her proud, sensitive people, and a nation that has newly won her placo ln the world Icels acutely that her struggles bave not yet achieved for her all the recognition which is now due." FORCE JAPAN'S HAND. It is anticipated here tbat 11 California persists In her alien land legis- tation the Japanese Government will be forced by popular clamor to demand naturalizution and other rights for Japanese on the same footing aB white immigrants. The exact position of naturalized Canadians ot foreign origin is to bo probed in tho House of Commons here by n question to Sir Edward Orey respecting the three Canadians recently sentenced to Siberia for llie for evading military service in Russia. Sir Edward Grey is being asked whether Sir Wilfrid Laurier.la correct in saying that the British Government has declined tn intervene tor them. Mothers' Day On Mother's Day last year many letters wore written to their mothers by men, nnd largo numbers of our young men were given a red Carnation If his mother were living and a white one if she had passed away. "Mother's Day" wlll be fittingly observed, and many young men will be accommodated with paper and envelopes at the Y. M. C. A., the Salvation Army barracks, and some of the churchoH. "Tho mothers ot our nation are our greatest source of wealth and power. If they are weak our armies will suffer dofeat.

Questions affecting the general news service lor both the morning nnd evening papers were thoroughly discussed with the manager of the Western Associated Press, J. Fred Livesay, and all mat- ten In connection with the excellent service now being provided by this organization. The knowledge that M. E.

London.—Thc fate ol the woman suffrage bill was sealed tonight by the votes of more than 50 Irish Nationalists, who voted against it. Thc Bill, whereby it waa sought to enfranchise 6,000,000 women, was rejected by a majority ol 4". The vote stood 266 to 219. Whether there is any chance that the present parliament will pass a bill of more limited character may be doubted, possibly the Nationalists fear that lf they allow a womun'e franchise bill to pass the second reading lt would lead to a parliamentary struggle which would uot unlikely end in dissolution of parliament before the home rule bill gets on the statute books. Furthermore, the debate todny proved that tbe militant policy of the suffragettes has done the cause great barm as far as parliament is concerned. The conciliation hill of last session was rejected only hy a small majority, while the Dickinson bill which was under discussion today, and previous bills giving some measure of enfranchisement to women, have passed the second reading, although they never succeeded ln running the gauntlet in subsequent stages. Recent police court disclosures of acts of incendiarism planned by tbe militants far surpassing in magnitude anything heretofore attempted, and the burning of St. Catherine's church at Hatcham today, undoubtedly influenced many members to vote against the bill. The figures of the division, showing the deleat ol the bill, were greeted with a great cheer from all sides of the bouse. Neither Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the opposition, nor A. J. Balfour, voted in the division. Among the ministers who voted against tbe bill were Premier Asquith, Reginald McKenna, Lewis Harcourt, J. Hi. B. Seeley, Winston Spencer Churchill and C. E. Hot-house. Tbe cabinet supporters of the bill I.loyu George, Mir Rufus Isaacs, included Sir Edward Grey, David Augustine Burrill, Sydney Buxton, C, P. O. Masterman, Sir J. A. Simon and F. O, Ackland. FINE CHURCH BURNED. While thc members ol the house oi commons were entering parliament this afternoon to discuss the wo- man's sufirngo bill, newsboys thrudt extras at them, announcing what seems to bu tho most destructive work the militants have yet accomplished. St. Catherines Church at Hatcham, In the southeast of London, one of the finest church edifices In the suburbs, caught Are soon alter noon In a mysterious way and burned so quick ly tbnt only the charred walls and a few of tbe pews remained nfter uu hour, although the flro brigade work od hard. The tire was watched by thousands ot spectators. The interior of the church was like n seething furnace a few moments after the names were discovered. The roof lell ln half an hour afterwards nnd the crumbling masonry crumpled, Thc church was built in 1893 at a cost of $90,000. An expensive chan eel and stained gloss windows were added Inter. The heating apparatus in the building had not boon used for two weeks, aud although the church was usually kept open all day for prayer, all the doors were found tn be bolted when the fire was discovered. Tbe vicar, the Rev, Howard J. Truscott, when as'iod about the cause ol the lire, said: "I cat a a ascribe, it to other than those de.lght.lul ladies." The vicar visited the church at noon, wben he noticed three women in the building. He supposed tbat they were praying. He now believes that they arranged the lire and thinks explosives must have been used because ol the rapidity witb which the tlames spread, Tbo vicar managed to save the record of marriages and baptisms. BOMB OUTRAGE. A mysterious attempt, to explode a bomb was made early this morning outside the Grand Hotel, opposite Trafalgar square, where the suffrage disturbances took place on Sunday. The hotel was crowded with tourists. A policeman saw a woman deposit a can with a lighted fuse in front ol the door. He extinguished the fuse and then pursued the woman. He caught one woman who he supposed was the culprit and who, when brought into court, gave her name aB Ada Warder. Investigation proved her to be a night prowler who had often been brought up in the police court. Sho denied plucing the bomb, which disappeared while the policeman was chasing her. PREMIER'S SPEECH. London.—In opposing the woman's suffrage bill tn the bouse today Premier Asquith said he would resign lf his colleagues in tiie cabinet ever suggested tbat they did not feel justified in following a government, the bead of which was opposed to them. When the debate was resumed this afternoon, the premier defended tbe government's coarse, saying it wa* consistent wltb tbe best traditions of British statesmanship. He regretted that ho found himself at variance witb bis colleagues on the question, and greatly ns he would regret severing bin connection from tbe prosecution ot other great causes, he would lay down his office If his colleagues ever suggested tbat thev did not feel Justified in following him. "Thev never did yet," suid the premier amid cheers. Mr. Asquith snid tbe bill created (,,000,000 new voters und lt had nover been approved hy tbo existing electorate.

Time b:.-- wrought many changes, but the circus has not gone backwards. In the onward progress, the .*U C3 Barnes Big Three Ring Wild Animal Circus hai forged tu the front until it is tbe largest exhibition of Us -and in the world This big show will glv_ two full and complete performances, In Cranbrook on Monday, May \\.tt_. There is not a village of any size In the United States or in Canada where the name of the Al. G Barnes Circus is not a household word. With the show is carried the greatest and most varied collection of animals ever assembled together at one time. With the show is carried 350 educated and trained animals. Among them are twenty African forest bred lions, „ herd of elephants, a caravan of came.*-., including a baby "ship of the desert," leopards, royal Bengal tigers, pumas, bears, jaguars, hyenas, zebras, monkeys of every known species, dogs and ponies. Every animal carried with the show ls a performer. Among the many favorites to be seen will be Herr Louis Roth and bis twenty performing lions, Major Robert Thornton and bis troupe of performing bears, Prof. Emery and his heard of Siamese elephants, Mme. Florlne and her educated Persian leopards, Capt. Stonewall and his sea lions, Miss Ethel Bonde and ber trained Arabian Stallions, lions, monkeys, dogs and ponieB and Mme, La Monte and ber Royal Bengal tigers. Some Idea of tho magnitude of tbe show may be obtained when one takes into consideration that it requires twenty-eight specially con structed railroad cars to transport tbis zoological paradise. Three hundred employes are required to operate it. Al. O. BarneB is familiarly known everywhere aB "the animal master or America's greatest showman." He personally supervises and directs each and every performance. He prides himself with the clean and high tone standard he ban always held for the bIiow.

HOW POPLAR GROWS Rate of Growth Studied In Canada and United States Tho aspon poplar, frequently spoken of as tho white poplar, Is one of lho most common trees all over Canada (at any rato In tbnt portion of tho Dominion east of tbe Rocky Mountains). In many parts of tbo Dominion it forms unite extensive forests (especially lu dlstrlots that have been burned over). This fact gives It a place of some importance In tho forestry or (lie Dominion, although It is one of iho Inferior woods. Some years ago flu 1906) tbo Forestry Branch of tho Department or Tie Interior made a careful survey of tllfl Turtle Mountain forest reserve lu Soul hern Manitoba, on which this poplar is by all odds the most plenll im tree, Aa a result of Investigation on the basis of data collected during lhls survey, It was estimated that, If the poplar wero allowed to grow to the age of forty years, there would be, an average growth, for the whole of | Hml iiim*. of one i-oid per year on a fully stocked aero, Al lho end of Ulttl (Ime there would lie standing olll each acre about 860 trees, of un u\\ a rage height of 46 feel and au mer age diameter, at *t*'- \\r*o abovo the ground, of .» inches, these would yield some 40 curds i'i wood Reoentl) the United Stales Korea! Service published iholi Unllotln No, 93, entitled the Aspens." ami n Is Interesting to note that tholr results co close to the (tgures made oul bj ■ii-' Canadian bui ■*'* Volume tables, given al the conclusion of this build lu shew that trees of the helghl and diameter given above wtll each ylold between one twentieth and one twon-l lv l-l fl It of a COrd Of wood apiece Thus i th,' S.et acres would give somewhere between thirty-four and forty two cords of wood Tho average of the two amouuts gives thirty-eight cords, . figure nearly the same as Lhat ob- taluecLbj tin- Canadians As There are 66,000 acres In the Purtle Mountain reserve that are capable of growlug timber, it is a reasonable Interstice thai the reserve may bo counted ou to produce 66,000 cords, or thereabouts, of wood per. year. At the low rate of %l per cord on the slump, this would mean an annual revenue to the state of $55,000. Or, to take another point of view it would give to each inhabitant of the' electorlal district of Sourts almost: two cords of wood per year. __*-t_/ My mare, a very valuable one. was badly bruised and cut by helng caught In a wire fence.
