SOS FALSE TO HIS VOWS Episcopal Clergyman on Trial ln New York Stat»—Peculiar Views. Batavla, N. Y., April 17.—The ecclesiastical court, composed of live ministers of this diocese ot the Protestant Episcopal church, began the trial of the Rev. Dr. Algernon S. Crapsey, rector of St. Andrews' Episcopal church ln Iloch-ster, N. Y., on charges this morning which have loosely been described as heresy, hut heally do not amount to that. The arraignment or presentation of Dr. Crapsey only charges him with violation of his ordination vows, the canons of th? church and tho conditions of his employment ns a teacher of doctrine. In asserting In his hook, "Religion and Politics," that the incarnation is a myth and that miracles are fables. Dr. Crapsey formerly belonged to the extreme "high" section ot the church, even having confessionals In his church. That he has now gone over to the other extreme has stirred not only his congregation but church circles in general. It was not until two years ago that Dr. Crapsey began to show any signs of- a changing belief In what are declared to be the basic doctrines of the church. Matters were allowed to drift along until last April, when a number of clergymen of the church presented a request ror an Investigation to bishop W. D. Walker of Buffalo, head of the church In the diocese. After some Investigation bishop Walker appointed a committee of five clergymen to make an Investigation and after considerable Investigating the committee submitted two reports, three of the members reported against a trial, while two reported in favor of one. Under ordinary conditions that would have settled the matter, but the clergymen tn the Rochester district Insisted upon an Investigation and trial and the bishop finally yielded. IRON ORES.

Thinks It Part or a Plan to Get Control of theTniuportitlon-AppMl to Great Britain b Proposed Washington, April 17.—American tea traders have lodged an appeal to the state department against the application to their goods of the Canadian law imposing a duty of ten cents per pound on tea entering Canada from the United States. Not only have written representations ba»n made on this point, but a delegation representing the tea Importers, lias appeared at the state department and presented an argument to the officials to induce them to take up this subject with the British foreign office. Careful consideration has been given to these arguments but lt may be stated that up to this moment the officials here feel that there ls little ground for ex-1 pectatton that the Canadians can be influenced to suspend the operation or this new law, particularly in view of thi fact that by the offering of large subventions to steamship lines, lo encourage direct communication between Canadian ports and the Orient, the Canadian government ls endeavoring to wrest from Americans the important transcontinental tea traffic. However, It Is probable that this subject will be turned over to Chandler Anderson, who ls preparing for negotiating sundry other Issues 'between the United States and Canada. *************************** ♦ * ♦ WARNING TO FRUIT GROWERS 0 ♦ * ♦ If the Lord's Day Observance ♦ ♦ bill goes through In Its present ♦ ♦ shape, the Dominion Express com- * ♦ pany will not be allowed to pick ♦ ♦ 'up shipments of fruit along its ♦ ♦ railway and water routes on Sun- t> ♦ days as heretofore.

Monteral , April 17.—The 260 horse power electric hoist, which was built for the Granby smelter at Phoenix, B. C. by the Jenckes Machine Co. Ltd., of Sherbrooke, has Just been shipped.

Under agreement with the dominion government, the Canadian banks have lately collected and exported 196,768 ot United States silver colnB. A shareholder of the bank of 'Montreal writes to the press urging that as the bank's reserve Is now 110,000,000, some of the enormous proflts be distributed to shareholders ln addition to the regular 10 per cent per annum dividend. The writer says: To a large number of stock holders a bonus or Increased dividend from the earnings of their Btock would be most acceptable, and I would most respectfully beg the directors, when disponing of the enormous profits, to bear ln mind that the claims of the stockholders, to whose original capital and enterprise the bank owes Its existence." Perhaps some of the shareholders of some other Canadian banks are thinking along similar lines. OFFICIAL RETURNS. Liberal Majority was 80—Conservative'! Lost His Deposit at Lethbridge.

Reports on the special collection from the various classes showed that the subscriptions were progressing favorably. With regard to the tram running to the union station, the special sub-com- mitfcw reported that negotiations were still proceeding. As to the new schedule for the summer trains superintendent Lawrence wrote saying that the alteration in time would take place on May ti and would he as follows: Boundary and Roasland train will leave Nelaon at 8.10 a.m., train for Slocan points at 9.10 a.m.; evening train for Rossland leaves at 7.15 p.m..

Beeston then read a proposed folder, half the space of whicli is to be taken up by cuts on fruit, and the reading matter, which occupies ttie remaining portions of the space Is devoted in about' equal portions to a general description of Nelson and to the fruit industry. There then followed a discussion as to whether particulars should or should not be given as to the quantity of fruit land available, its cost, the expense of clearing, the result of culture and other like facts. It was finally decided that, such particulars should be given, that care should be taken that the facts should be verified, but that equal care shsuld be taken to see that the wording of the folder shoud not partake of the nature of a real estate broker's circular. The folder was then accepted, with the proviso that the advertising commutes llrst look the matter over and then have it printed as quickly as possible.

According to the Tribune the announcement was made yesterday on behalf of the anthracite coal carrying companies that a general movement has been begun among them to resume work at the washeries. Some of the washeries are now in operation und work on others will be started today and tomorrow. Nn attempt at present, It is said, will be made to mine coat. Philadelphia, April 17.—It. is difficult to forecast what effect tlie reply of the operators to the miners' latest proposals will have upon the latter. The miners, almost to a man, have signified their Intention of standing by president Mitchell, but at the same time the operators have beeu quietly preparing to operate their mines. Preparations made indicate that tbe mine owners contemplate an extended strike. The Philadelphia A Reading Coal & Iron company are building barracks around their collieries. Scranton, April 17.—Tlie big coal companies, with the exception of tlie Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company, are preparing for a long strike. Aggressive preparations are also being made by the Delaware & Hudson company for a long strike. Colored coolies and laborers for the working of tlw washeries are being imported, and extensive preparations are being made for the housing of hundreds of men. About 100 immigrants yesterday were distributed at various points between Wllkes- barre and Carbondale, and will he employed as cooks. Over 100 box cars have been fitted up in the Carbondale shops for living purposes. Bunks have been placed inside and holes cut In them for ventilation. WILL MODIFY BILL.

TOOMSON-teW^-81^ RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION Senator Dolllver, of Iowa, contribute! an interesting article on the subject of railway rata lOgial&tton to the current jnumber uf thfl New York Independent. Ho says this question Ih the most difficult and at the same time the most Im- l>ortant oiw which has engaged the attention of oongresB since the civil war. He then proceeds to relate just what It it* congress Is undertaking to do In the rate bill now under consideration In the senate. He says: "The bill recognizes, on the whole, that the railway rate making of the i ountry should be conducted by the railways themselves, with as little Interfer- i ni'i* as lKMHihlc. It therefore deals only with those cases where a dispute has arisen between the shipper and the carrier In relation to rates, it gives tlie commission the authority and makes it their duty lo investigate the merits of that (li-i'iiu- and In case they find that tlie railway has been overcharging the public or Is guilty or discrimination the commission ls required to find the rete which ought to be charged in such cases and to promulgate an order fixing that as the maximum beyond which the charge of the carrier may not go. It leaves the great body of railway rates undisturbed and intervenes only to correct a particular injustice when such Injustice Is found to be real and subKtan- u»i." We draw attention to this matter for the purpose of showing how much further advanced along the lines of railway regulation Canada ls than the United Spates. By the new Railway Act introduced and passed at. Ottawa ln the session of lno:! a Hallway Commission was established. The powers of this Commission may be briefly summarized as follows: 1. Absolute regulative powers in regard to rates, preferences, discriminations, rebates and secret rates. 12. Supervisory powers ln regard to through rates and through routes. 3. Power to compel equal, proper and reasonable facilities for shipment to all persons and companies. 4. To regulate traffic agreements. ; 5. To regulate and supervise highway and railway crossings. «, To investigate into serious accidents, and tbe causes of accidents, j 7. To exercise a general supervision and control over safety appliances, aud all matters touching the convcnl'ime and safety of lhe public and employees ot the railway, the safely of property, and tbo operation of trains and the railway generally. - 8.

We are apt to think that In matters of this kind Canada legs behind tbe United States, but in this Instance lt will be seen that the government of Canada has already enacted legislation that Is far more effective than that which ts even now engaging the attention of congress. Whatever sins of omission or commission tbe Laurier administration may have to answer for, every Canadian must ■•onf/'SH that In the matter of railway rate legislation sir Wilfrid Laurier has shown foresight and courage. With the eipan- slon of railroad construction throughout the dominion, now.one ot tbe most striking features of our national development, tbe inestimable value to the public of the liberal government's policy in this regard will become more and more manifest. Already many distinct benefits have accrued to tbe public from the operations of the commission and as time goes on the regulative powers this important body exercises will prove of even greater Advantage to the whole dominion, but nowhere will the benefits be more direct than In the western portion of Canada which ts now receiving so muct> attention at the hands of railroad builders. EDITORIAL NOTES Thomas Talt, the Canadian manager of the state railroads of Victoria, Australia, continues his tale of success: For the seven months ending January 31, 1906, these lines made substantial gains, both in net and gross earnings' Indeed for the last month of the year, January, both the gross and net revenues were the highest ever earned In the history of this railway system. For the first seven months of the fiscal year, as mentioned above, tbe gross revenue amounted to £2,211,000, ae compared with £2,076,000 for the corresponding peilod ln 1906. This makes a gross Increase of £126,000, and the Increase In net revenue amounts to £106,000. The system has now a total or -1394 miles. The press-of Canada, almost without exception, Is discussing tbo publicity idea tor municipalities. Tho Winnipeg Tribune thinks that "there Is only one kind of advertising that Winnipeg needs —and that will be furnished by the Finding of the United States Supreme Court Will-Cause Trouble. A decision of the United States supreme court just handed down promises to cause all sorts of trouble to those who have obtained American divorces, The tarts in the cose Just decided are brlenly these: The Haddocks, Jobn W. and Harriet, of New York city, were married ln 18ti8, and the husband claimed to have been an unwilling participant In the ceremony. He says, in his answer to the woman's complaint, that he left her.Immediately after the marriage rites wece performed and during all the time that has Intervened has seen her only three times. hi 18S1 he secured a*divorce In the stale of Connecticut, where he then re-1 sided, and in 188:! was married there to' another woman. * The New York supreme court held tlie Connecticut marriage to be illegal, decreed the first wife to be still the legal wile and directed Haddock to pay her an annuity of $780. That finding was sustained hy the decision now given by the supreme court of the United,States, which held that Mrs. Haddock'was without thc jurisdiction of the Connecticut court. Justice White In deciding the case laid down the general principle that a state In which only one party to a divorce proceeding resides has no right to dissolve a marriage tie which all other stabes inust respect. Justices Harlan, Brewer and Brown united In dissenting opinions, which were delivered by justice Broun. They took the position that the Connecticut divorce proceeding was regular and Is entitled to due credence ln other states. Justice Brown declared in his opinion that the court had taken a backward step ln this direction. Justice Holmes also dissented from the decision of the court, but delivered an independent opinion. --He said the re- suit of the decision would be to lllegitl- niatlze many children, but added that he would not go ko far as to predict tbat civilization would come to an end, whatever the conclusion in the case.

Frank Cochrane, minister of lands and mines for Ontario, haa given to the press a summary of his new mines bill. The bill makes a complete revision of the existing legislation, rii.e m-niiiy ii- dustry of Ontario ls growliig, rapidly In importance. The aggregr." output ji minerals and mineral proa-icts, which for several years has bein about $11,- 000,000 or $12,000,000, rote in 1905, lo about $19,000,000, or H the reflnelTvalnos of nickel and copper are used as a basis of computation, instead of the value in the matte, the total would amount to $22,000,000 or $23,0000,000. This larse advance Ls due to the increased output of nickel, silver, copper and pig Iron. Many anomalies and weak places have been brought to light ln the existing mining laws. For instance, there ara at least four methods of taking up mining lands from tho crown—(1) by purchase; (2) hy lease; (3) hy staking out ln a mining division; (4) by stoking out outside of a mining division. The amount of work to be done on purchased or leased lands ls different from th» amount required to be done on lands In mining divisions, and different again from the amount required to be done on lands outside mining divisions. The purchase price of land varies according to distance from a railway, and whether in surveyed or unsurveyed territory. Sc much variety is confusing, and prospectors are often at a loss to know how to proceed. A second defect Is the encouragement which the law holds out to the taking up of It nils for speculation as against ac- tutil mining purposes. This is shown by the fact that from tlrst to last about 1,300,000 acres of mining lands have been disposed of by the crown In Ontario, while anyone acquainted with the mineral industry knows that a very small proportion Indeed of this large area Is being actually worked. Another proof Is the fact that some thousands of mining leases are at present being canceled by the department of lands and mines, covering some 300,000 acres, chiefly because of non-payment of rental. These lands w.<*re taken up during the time of boom for gold silver, nickel copper or Iron, and the holders, Instead of working them, have simply sat N down and wafted for someone to buy them out at a high price. They did not even pay the small annual rent due the crown. A third defect is the provision for Issuing a title subject to woi.ang Kiiltllf tlons. That la requiring lite work to he done after the patent or leasti lias been granted. 'True; the crown may resume the land If the work Is not done. but there are many difficulties In the way of cancelling titles once they are A number of other disadvantages In the present law could be pointed out, and there bas for some time past been a general demand that a simpler and more suitable act should be substituted. In framing the bill Introduced by Mr. Cochrane, the following ends have heen aimed at: A uniform law for the whole province. The decentralization of administration. Protection to tlie prospector. Security of titles, thus affording protection to the investor. To some extent tno bill haa followed many of the provisions of the British Columbia mining laws, adapted to conditions tn Ontario. Il is proposed to have only one way of taking up mining lands. Every prospector and everyone who wishes to hold mining lands must procure a miner's license, which will be good throughout Ontario, and will cost $10 per annum. The province will be divided Into mining divisions in each of which, where there is sufficient business to warrant It, a mining recorder's office will be opened. On making a discovery of mln- eial, the prospector will stake out his claim by planting posts at the corners and erect a discovery post on the out- c.op. A claim will be a square of twenty chains to a side, with boundary north* aud south and east and west. . On stoking out his claim, the prospector will record It In the office of the m!i.lng division, and bis discovery will bi subject to Inspection. If the Inspector finds a discovery of valuable mineral, the prospector will, then be re-mired to do thirty days' work within ninety days of Recording the claim; sixty days' work In each of the next two years, and ninety days'- work during the third year, or he can complete the work in a less time. He may then buy tbe land at $3 per acre if In surveyed territory, or $2.50 If in unsurveyed territory. His patent Is indefeasible, and not subject to any further working conditions. Under the bill .actual discovery of valuable mineral la necessary In order to obtain title to mining lands, and valuable mineral Ib defined In these words: A vein, lode or other deposit, of mineral or minerals In place, containing such quantities of mineral or minerals other than limestone, marble, clay, marl, peat, or any building stone, as to make it probable that the said vein or lode or other deposit is capable of being developed Into a working mine," It thus affords a guarantee that landa will not be staked and recorded simply because of their proximity to known mines or deposits of value. ln the main, mineral deposits of value in Ontario outcrop at the surface, and oh this theory the law proceeds In requiring actual discovery. There are, however, cases where owing to the depth of soil or upper covering of barren rock the minerals do not actually outcrop, and consequently lt Is difficult or tin- possible to make a discovery In this way. In such cases lt ls necessary to dig trenches, sink a shaft or use a diamond drill. Th.? new act provides for auch' cases by permitting application to be made for what is called a working per-' mlt, to be issued by the mining recorder within sixty days after such application, provided In the meantime no bona fldel discovery of valuable mineral U made on the land. A working permit gives the holder exclusive possession of the claim for six months on condition of hla working on H five days per week during that time. If at, the end of six months he has not made a discovery the permit may be renewed for another term, and when discovery is made the land may be bought and patented In the ordinary- way. This provision will go a long way towards meeting the views of those mining men who hold that the crown ought not to insist upon discovery, but that first come should be flrst served. "Prospecting permits" are also provided tor. In the regions north of the height of land there is reason to believe that such valuable substances as petroleum, natural gas and salt may be found, as well aa lignite, and other minerals which do not come to the surface In the ordinary way. ■ A prospecting permit covering 640 acres of land may be granted on. payment of a fee of $100. The holder must spend In actual work a sum equal to $2 per acre during the term of the permit, which Is to be for a year. Upon discovering minerals the lands may be Leased subject to a rental of $1 per acre and the expenditure of $2 per acre per annum in raising the substances found. The bill also regulates mining partnerships. It is common for two or more prospectors to Work as partners, or one man may "grub'Stake" another. The bill requires the particulars of all partnerships to be filed in the recorder's offlce, and an agent must be nomed by the partnership whi will have authority to deal with the. claim. This will abolish the nuisance of "silent partners" who have already proved a troublesome feature In the Cobalt field. It has long been felt a hardship by miners that they cannot enforce collection of their wages in the same way as mechanics, under the Lien Act. The bill places miners and laborers in a mine on the same level as mechanics in this respect. Improved regulations are provided for securing the health and safety of working miners, and detailed rules as to the handling of explosives, ventilation, ladder ways, shafts, scaling, etc., are set out in the bill.. Finally, tne bill repeals all previous legislation, except such as is expressly saved In the act, bu( any rights acquired, or liabilities or penalties incurred under previous legislation arc not to be affected.

OPPORTUNITY FOR RANCHERS TO EXCHANGE VIEWS. Interest along the lake front Ib growing dally. The boulineu have been busily engaged tur sums weeks ln preparing for the season and last Sunday every boat in commission was engaged tor at Least pan of the day. "We could have let out twice the number we did on Sunday if we had them uu hand," said a boatman yesterday. '■During the week," he continued, "the demand is comparatively light yet, ibut on Saturday afternoons and particularly on Sundays, almost all our boats are ordered in advance. Yes, we look for a good season this year, ttie best perhaps we ever had, it all points that way. boating will be in fashion this year Judging from the number of new boats and canoes tbat have been built and the large number of people that are Interested in boats one way and another. The tiettlement of the fruit and ranching lands along the Arm has increased business, and this will grow during the coming season. The ranchers all have boats and many people go" out to visit the ranchers aud of course they want boats for the trip. Two yeara ago one could camp out nearly anywhere between here and Procter, now campers And great difficulty In getting locations. Unless they know the ranch owner the latter is rather dubious in giving permission to campers. Some people who camp out for a night or so, say from Saturday to Monday, have in the past been careless about their camp fires and have done damage ln other ways. One matter ranchers complain of city people in particular Is the careless way they let tlieiv dogs run around. Last year several ranchers had fowls killed by city dogs and they don't propose to have that happen this season. If the city people who want to camp out will nea a ltttie horse sense there need be no trouble, as ranchers are always glad to see the right sort any time. There will be more launches ' this year than last I can not say Just how many boats will be in commission by Victoria Day, but the fleet will be considerable larger than last year. All the ranchers need launches In their business and on parade days these can be counted upon to help out In the display. Kaslo boats are anxious to try conclusions again this year and there should be some good racing with the boats from the north." The water in the lake has gone up between three and four feet this season from low water mark. It is at about the usual level now for this season of the year, though as a rule watermen look for unusually low water all season, the snowfall last winter being away below the average. Whether there will be any flood tide this year depends largely upon the temperature of the nights. No matter how warm the days may he, if the nights remain cool the rise of the water in the lake will he gradual, an inch or two a day. Warm days followed by warm nights would cause the water to jump up a couple of feet every 24 hours. Any quantity of fruit trees have already been shipped out to lake ranchers this season. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Arundel took out a cargo costing $400 in his new launch, and the boat in tow. The lot included fruit trees of every variety. Laat year The Dally News attempted to Interest ranchers by opening a special column once a week In whtch those engaged in ranching in this district could exchange opinions on the best varieties of trees and plants most suitable for this particular district, the best methods of Irrigation, prevention of pests and kindred subject*. The ranchers were too busy last year to attend to their end of this newspaper offer, but It Is still open to them it they will take advantage of lt. A weekly column specially devoted to the needs of the rancher hereabouts can he made very useful and instructive If the ranchers will take the matter up. Nelson has been singularly free from distressing drowning accidents In the past, somewhat remarkably so when the lares number ot persons who -go out boating day after day ls considered. The iboatmen say that the canoes cause them the most anxiety when they are hired by those not familiar with this claas of craft. The ordinary row boat ln use here is safe enough, with care, for anyone to use, but the canoe should be only taken out by those accustomed to this cranky craft Everyone who has been at all frequently on the lake understands very well how quickly and frequently* wind storms come down on the usually placid surface of the Arm and how quickly a sea can get up. Two weeks ago an infant tornado struck the north shore just opposite the city wharf and literally lifted a staunch row boat tbat waB drawn well up on the shore and carried It In the air nearly 100 feet. The boat ln a damaged condition can be seen at one of the boat hou&es now, and its owner can verify the story above given. CAUGHT COLD WHILE) HUNTING A BURGLAR •r. Wm. Thos.

The recommendations are now -before the ■government for consideration. J. H, Ashdown, chairman of ths commission. Is now in Nelson on a visit to the local branch_of his own firm. Seen py s. member Of The Dally News staff, Mr. Ashdown said hs could add but little w the formal report of the commission already published. He said: "I havo not ceased lo regret the action «f the business men of NelBon on. tho oc- . carton of our Visit here.

After we had left I even wrote a letter here suggesting at least the adoptlqn of a resolution that we might have considered. But for some reason the suggestion did nol meet with approval and has not been acted ' upon. "Here, for Instance, Is an Important question: The connection of this city witn East Kootenay Is by meane of a steamer from Kootenay Landing- to Procter.

"No; we made no recommendation la regard to the transportation requirements of the Similkameen district, we had no communication from that.district. "Yes: we spoke of northern British Columbia, chiefly as lo conneclloW, between the present and prospective lines that will run east and west through the province, and as to tho expediency of prcvciitin* the control ot any future const terminal point by one railway company, SB Vancouver Is now controlled." «..-«« Mr. Aseidown will IPtnd today In.Norton and leave tomorrow morning to return to Winnipeg-.
