The session yesterday was devoted' to a continuation of the healing of the suit of Fernette vs. the Gibbons Lumber company, an action for damages for the loss of two fingers by the plaintiff while working at the -defendant company's mill. The ease was concluded before adjournment and Mr. justice Martin reserved judgment, *. Th* ijftt of Winlaw vs. Cushing was settlediliy'payment by the defendants of the full claim of $13,734, and |60O costs.. Messrs, .Cushing also agree to .. pavJ-heir own costs in the case. In . Nbyifniber, 1907 defendants bought the Ptajmlff's cut of lumber amounting to , flg)fr;0OO feet. They took flit but 800,- m.teet). find were sued by J. B, Win- law, for payment for this balance at the rate" of. $10 per thousand, making $J3r "142, together with Insurance $250, and $1342 interest. By the settlement defendants pay the full claim and costs amounting to $600 In addition. At >the morning session the witnesses were Rand Gibbons, a director of ihe Gibbons Lumber company, and Harry; H. Johnston, an employee of the Nel-r son Iron Works. The main feature of the proceedings was the,argument advanced "by Mr. Taylor, counsel for the plaintiff, that the bolts on the guides had been repaired since the accident happened and the latter witness was called for the purpose of attempting to ascertain whether or not this had been ' done. .Mr. Taylor's contention was tbat the question as to whether or not this had (been done would have a very important bearing on the evidence. At the afternoon session W. D. Barr, foreman of the company, gave evidence that he had Been men sawing with hands worse cut thflh that of plaintiff. Fernette was a fairly good man, but his eyesight was failing. Witness was sawing at the Gibbons mill in the spring of 1908 and the screws were then in the same conditfon as now. He had never got hurt in any way at the mill and he had never heard of any one else getting hurt, except plaintiff. To Mr. Taylor he said that he clearly remembered what plaintiff had said when lie was hurt. Fernette was boss of running the saws. He had seen a somewhat similar guide in use in Creston and Vancouver. Otto G. Yeaman lives in Nelson and Is a saw salesman. He deposed that 'he had been In the saw business for 20 years. He knew several nctlve sawmill men who-had lost fingers. He thought that plaintiff would be somewhat handicapped by the accident hut that hia earning capacity would not be materially affected. Rand McGiblbon, recalled by Mr. Merger, said, that plaintiff complained Barr was butting In and asked to see that he did not Interfere, lied by Mr. Taylor, Mr. Fernette, plaintiff, denied that at the time accident he had said that he letting too careless. • McCarter addressing the court te defence, contended that there ■waa7 no evidence that plaintiff was an employee of the company. He had gone to the mill on his own volition and at his own request. The company ''• had a sawyer and filer at the time and had given plaintiff several hints to leave which he had not taken. In the hospital Mr. Gibbons had asked him \./'Srti*at he owed him and plaintiff said \wat what he had done was not worth jutthlng and that he did not owe him ttything. Defendant gave him a check torMGd out of pure generosity. Max. Fernette knew of the condition w__ tbe plant and it waj^at his own request that the guide was put on. He gave, the company no notification that he tnought the plant defective. The company had put competent men in charge and the evidence showed that the plant was reasonably safe. The wrench and screws were In good condition and carelessness must have caused the wrench to slip. The plaintiff had In any case, been guilty of contributory negligence. It had not been shown he had suffered any damage. After the accident he asked $6.50 a day wage0, and had only been getting $5 the year before and witnesses had snld that they did not think that bis earning capacity had heen materially reduced. If he oh- tained damages at all they must be Very small. Mr. Taylor said that the case was unique in that so many contradictory theories had been -sworn to. It was contended that plaintiff was experimenting for hls own amusement and also that he was boss of the mill. It was admitted that he had suffered injury and It was yet contended that he was a-better man than before. It was Bald that fee had not complained of the condition of .the appliances, yet lt .was admitted that he had even made a new wrench for himself, which seemed to have been regarded as a joke and also I that he had discussed getting a new guide with thp manager. The defence did not say that the wrench nsed was a proper wrench and Mr. McGregor had sworn that he would not use It Mr. Taylor contended that it was a dang* eroua. discarded rig that had been ln use. ^t was the company's dutyto see that 'proper repairs were carried out and It was responsible for seeing that the machinery and appliances were In good condition. Mr. Barr had fixed the guide for witness -and while doing so his hand was cut and he told Fernette that it was a bad rig. Mr. Barr did not deny this statement. The brasses produced in court were supposed to' have been used for two years yet their edges were Bharp and Mr. Taylor contended that they were not the same as used at the time of the accident. In assessing damages the average wages of a man In his position must be considered and Mr. Taylor estimated that he was entitled to $3375. Defendant had been obliged to use the tools given him but had protested. The fact that he had been paid wages showed that he was an employee and ft also was shown from the fact that he was under the direction of Barr. S. S. Taylor, K.C., and James O'Shea appeared for the plaintiff and G. S. McCarter of Revelstoke for the de-. fendants. PRESIOENTJS CHOSEN FORMER CHIEF OF UMPIRES GETS COVETED P08ITION.

LSQN B. G, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER FER Mr. and Mrs. Lovell of Ymir in Railway Wreck IS DETAINED IN HOSPITAL WAS HURRYING TO BEDSIDE OF AGED MOTHER—EPIDEMIC OF CRIME INVADES VANCOUVER- THREE BURGLARIES IN ONE NIGHT BY EXPERTS. VANCOUVER, B. Ci, Dec. 18.—A World special states that O. A. Lovell and wife of Ymir were Injured this morning in a wreck on the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy railway near Western Springs, 111. Mrs. Lovell's riglh't arm was broken and her head was badly cut, Mr. Lovell being^ severely bruised. Mrs. Lovell was. hurrying to the bedside of her aged mother, who was thought to be dying at Windsor, Ont, but physicians at the hospital refused to allow her to continue her trip. The influx of stragglers to the eoast has brought a large number of criminals. Last night an epidemic of crime whldh has been previously manifested in minor robberies broke out in \ftill force. Three business places in different sections of the city had their safes broken, the work being done by expert yegg men. A workman was -held up on a corner near the city limits where houses are scattered and at the point of a revolver waB forced to give up the contents of his pocketbook. The police have absolutely no clue to the wrongdoers but are seeking to check present conditions by taking in every man not able to §ive an account of himself. FIND PROW LACKING RECORDS FAIL TO SHOW THAT DR. COOK REACHED POLE lfN|VER8'iTY NOT READY TO MAKE f, DBrtfyTE REPORT COPHNHA<i#7Pec. 18—Tlie Associated Press is-/infa?hed by ft^hlgh authority that the c&miaittee ot 'the university of Copenhagen tn Its -preliminary examination of hU-fecords failed to discover proof that Dr. Frederick A. Cook reached the pole. A preliminary report was made by the examining committee at a secret session of the consistory of the university today and provoked an animated discussion. It appears that the data so far submitted is not held sufficient to establish the explorer's claims. The result of today's discussion was a request on the part of the consistory that the committee continue its work.' The university body will leave the investigation proper the matter of making public later the results of their inquiries. In tiie meantime it is announced iby the -officials of the university that the consistory will not make public any communication bused upon information received orally from the committee at today's meeting. Popular opinion here today appears to have undergone a gradual change. From the beginning of the controversy the populace of Copenhagen has been decidedly pro-Cook. Putriotlsm has strengthened this sentiment. Recent developments, however, have been disappointing and today the general Impression prevails here that Dr. Cook's papers as submitted do not constitute proof tbat he discovered the north pole. NEW YORK, Dec. 18 — Commander Peary smiled broadly today when informed that the committee of the university of Copenhagen failed to find proof that Dr. Cook had found the north pole and that smile was the only answer that commander Peary -made to the information when imparted to him at the hotel Imperial. Efforts to locate Dr. Cook, renewed today, were fruitless in developing any trace of the explorer. Hls former counsel H. Wellington Wack, declared that he Uiad neither seen nor heard anything of Dr. Cook since Nov. 22, although a diligent effort has been made to And him by friends, who said that he was prejudicing his case by his disappearance. "I believe as I have from the first that Dr. Cook is in Europe," said Mr. Wack today. .FRANCE AND THE STATES Former French Foreign Minister Wants to Improve Relations PARIS, Dec. 18—(Former minister of foreign affairs Gabriel Hanatoux, in an article appealing for public support of the decently organized Franco-American committee, designed to improve the economic and social relations of the two countreis, and of which he is president, predicts tbat the United States, which now holds the balance of power In the Pacific is destined some day to intervene in tSie quarrels of the great nations of Europe. M. Hanatoux says In Part: "Every clairvoyant European statesman foresees the probability of American imperialistic action. It is the constant preoccupation ot emperor William." -The former minister argues that France's position in Europe is analo gous to that of America and that it Is virtually necessary that there should be no possibility of a misunderstanding in the future, recalling that during his own ministry, at the Ume of tiie Spanish-American war, France was driven almost to a rupture over an insignificant blockade incident.

MAD ORATORY Dervish Rush of Rflgeal Speakers Spent PREDICT UNIONIST WIN EFFECT OF RADICAL WHIRLWIND EVAPORATING — TARIFF RE- FORM INCLUDES TAXES ON FOODSTUFFS — IMPORTANT COMMAND FOR WILLIAMS. MONTREAL, Dec. 18.—A special London cable -says there are signs that the Dervish rush of David Lloyd-George and WlnBton Churchill Is spending Itself. This Is inevitable, human nature being what It is. It has been a week of stupendous speech making. Apart from thousands of smaller meetings in all parts of three kingdoms, there have been, thirty-one big speeches from peers, who certainly proved amid exciting scenes that they are not Tools, knaveB or cowards; 13 from unionist ex-cabinet ministers, 24 from radical cabinet ministers, winding up last night with great splashes from Mr. Lloyd- George and John Burns. If platform fireworks alone counted the ministers must win easily. Nobody on the unionist side compares with Mr. Lloyd-George , Mr. Churchill or Mr. Burns In mad oratory, but it Is significant to note that the shrewdest unionist election workers, remembering that tlie result, after all, lies with a residuum of say 20 per cent of a quiet kind oF middle class and working men, still express confidence in a unionist victory. Joseph Chamberlain himself adheres to his prediction made some weeks ago that the unionists will have 100 majority. The secretary of the Tariff Reform association expects a majority of 80 to 90, a leading member of the political committee of the Constitutional club, who Is also proprietor of a leading unionist popular weekly journal, gives the estimate of the unionist majority as 30 to 40. After consulting radical experts I. should say that if tlie election wei next week the radical whirlwind woi probably sweep enough of the usi excitable residuum into -..the camp to secure a small radio jorlty, but the interval of n< month before polling will -ML _ sert the away of tariff refornf^tn* electorate, which has been continuous since the general election four years ago, persisting even in the bye-elec- tlons such as Bermondsey since the budget was introduced. The interval is likely also to strengthen the uneasiness of the continued disclosure of Germany's unprecedented naval preparation and the radical ministers' disinclination to make strong counter naval progress. TORONTO. Out, Dec. 18.—A special cable from London says: "Leaders of ihe tariff reform propaganda in their speeches are now announcing that they intend If the election results In the defeat of the present government to tax all foodstuffs and all manufactures, colonial or foreign. Tltoy have been forced Into this explanation of their position owing to insistent demands for an unequivocal statement as to the revonue side of their proposal. Not only are they now frankly stating these views, but they are making appeals for the suppont iof workingmen on tho strength of particularly those having relation to a tax on manufactures. In brief, they propose a tax of 2\_ per cent on all colonial foodstuffs and a tax of 5 per cent on foreign food.- stuffs. All colonfal manufactures, It is proposed; shall be taxed 5 per cent and all foreign manufactures 10 per cent. John Burns, president of the local government board, at a mass meeting In Battersea last night denounced the proposals with vigor. He said there was one factory in Battersea employing men working foreign goods Into more finished products. That factory, he declared, would be compelled to close witihin a few weeks after the adoption of such a tariff. This did not apply to one constituency alone. Similar conditions extended all over the United Kingdom. Mr. Burns also took advanced ground on the liquor question. His language was strong and incapable of any misunderstanding. Not only did he express his own personal views, but he plainly pledged the government to do everything possible to lessen the evil of intemperance nnd to curb the power of the liquor interests. LONDON, Dec. 18.—It Is announced that Colonel Sir John Hanbury Williams, late military secretary to his excellency, Earl Grey, at Ottawa, has been appointed brigadier general of his majesty's forces ut Edinburgh. LONDON, Dec. 18.—A remarkable record for nn oi>cn sea run hy a submarine flotilla lias Just been achieved by the British Seventh flotilla in making a voyage from Portsmouth to Dundee, the new submarine base in the North sea.

The distance covered was 512 NO. 209 £ average speed was 9.3 believed to be a record (stance running. LONDON, Dec. 18—Mr. Lloyd-George, addressing a meeting at Walworth, said neither the colonies nor foreigners buy our goods except for two reasons, either their quality is better or the price is cheaper for the same quality; they do not buy them because they love us. You go to the colonies with any article, wherever it comes from, France, Rub- sia, Germany or America, and if it is a better article for a cheaper price they are not going to buy a British article whicli is inferior at a larger price. They would be fools if tbey did it. That is not the way of business. Our goods are beating them all. Why are we able to put them on every market in the world more cheaply than any other country?

HOTEL SITE QUESTION. Judging by the tone of the exchanges received this week there Is a great deal ot joy in the surrounding cities and towns over the fact that the Canadian Paclflc Railway company's proposed new tourist hotel is not to be located In Nelson. The fact that the company 1ms altogether disregarded NelBon's interests In this matter appears, for some reason or other, to give general satisfaction, but Just whether this Is because It Is thought that the Canadian Paciiic has acted in the public Interest in the matter or whether It is because the action taken will prejudicially affect this city's Interests is something which Is not. exactly clear. The point wihtch Is missed in the comments noticed, with one exception, is the fact that this hotel is to lie erected as a result of a deal between tlie board of trade and the Canadian Paclflc railway, by which the former dropped Its attempt to force tlie company to extend Its line from Kootenay Landing to Procter, thus giving this city direct rail connection with the east and also providing a through line to the boundary. The paper which provides the one exception is the Cranbrook Herald, edited by Mr. P. J. Deane, formerly of this city. After reciting the facts relating to the deal, tho Herald-goes on to say: "The C. P. R. has announced its Intention of building the promised tourist hotel, but neither within nor reasonably accessible to Nelson. Balfour is situated on the opposite side of Kootenay lake from Procter and there ls no direct communication between that point and the city. There would be ________________ more sympathy expressed with Nelson In Its present trouble,- if any good reasons could be advanced, showing what justification that city hud to make a deal with the C. P. R. on the terms specified. Nelson Is not the only point In southern British Columbia concerned In the completion of the Crow's Nest railway. As a matter of fact, the boards of trade of Kaslo, Rossland or Cranbrook could very properly resurrect this question and, despite the deal made with Nelson, insist upon the C. P. R. carrying out its contract and completing an all rail route into Nelson." The Herald's view of the matter is one which has not appealed to many people. It is, however,'a perfectly correct one and, if any board of trade in the country .desires to do so, they can take the matter up. their power to make it a success. If people give their share when the appeal is made to them, as lt will be shortly, the directors will be enabled to place the institution upon a better footing than it has ever been before and to make it a credit to the city.

Tlie people ot Calgary are beginning to complain loudly about the price of coal in that city. There are other cities which have Just cause to complain about the same matter. And one of tbem is Nelson. * * The Nelson public library will ln the near future make an appeal to 'the public lor aid toward the carrying on of the very excellent work which lt Is doing. It Is to be hoped that the response will be a liberal one, for there is no more deserving institution in the city. While perhaps the ibrary is not all some would like to see lt, it Is only fair to say that this Is largely because ft lias not In the' past received the measure of support to whloh lt Is entitled. To carry on a library properly requires not only untiring efforts on the part of those In charge of It, but also generous public support. The Nelson library has had the former, but lt has not, lt ls regrettable to state, had the latter.

DISORDERS STOMACHS HEARTBURN, GAS, DYSPEPSIA AND HEADACHE RELIEVED OUT-OF-ORDER STOMACHS REGULATED IN FIVE MINUTES There would noi oe a case of Indigestion here if readeiH who are subject to stomach trouble knew the "tremendous anti-ferment and digestive virtue contained In Diapepsln. This harmless preparation will d'gest a heavy meal without the slightest fuss or discomfort, and relieve the sourest acid Btomach in five minutes, besides overcoming all foul, nauseous odors fiom the breath. Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula plainly printed on each 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsln, then you will readily understand why this promptly cures Indigestion and removes such symptoms as heartburn, a feeling like a lump of lead In the stomach, belching of gas and eructations of undigested food, water brash, nausea, headache, biliousness and many other bad symptoms; anil, besides, you will not need laxatives to keep your atomaoh, liver and intestines clean and fresh. If your stomach Is sour and full of gas or your food doesn't digest, and your meals don't seem to fit, why not get a BO-cent case from your druggist and make life worth living? Absolute relief from stomach misery and perfect digestion of anything you eat Is sure to follow five minutes after, and, hcsldes, one case is sufficient to cure a whole family of such trouble. Surely, a harmless, inexpensive preparation like Diapepsln, which will always, •filther at daytime or during night, relieve your stomach trouble and digest your meals, Is about as handy and valuable a thing as you could have In the house. At the Theaters. Tomorrow night the'Allen Pluyers will open their inltal engagement at the opera house, with Channlng Pollock's dramatization of Miriam Mlclielson's celebrater novel entitled "In the Bishop's Carriage." Frederlca XV. Brown, the manager of tho Lyceum theatre In Lethbridge, recently sent to George Horstead, manager of tho NelBon opera house, the following telegram; "Allen Players made biggeflt hit of any company that ever played my house. Can't boost too strong. (Signed) F. W. Brown.'1 Many strong companies have played Lethbrldge, and when the manager of the theatre makes the above statement It should be fairly convincing evidence that the company in question Is all that Is claimed for it. MIsb vera Felton, the leading lady of the company, although yet In her teens, has made an enviable name for herself from the Pacific coast as far east aa Fort William. As an emotional actress she ls superb. The Reglna Morning Leader says of her: "Her portrayals of the heavy emotional roles are Wonderful and certainly foreshadow a bright future." The Cnlgarv Albertah, ln big bold type flays: "Miss Felton is a coming star." We could quote many more evidences of the high esteem In which this talented lady Is held by the theatre going public. The supporting company. conslBtlng of 14 people, Ib strong, and the wardrobes and stage Bettings are a feature of the performances. "Hunting Hippopotamus on tiie Nile" is a fine Interesting scenic picture at the Empire Mondny evening. "The Lure of the Gown" or Fine Feathers Make Fine Birds, is a Blograph picture of merit. "I Dlt It, Mama," a clever piece of acting by children. ".Inst Married," a decidely humorous picture, and "A Clever Reporter," showing the persGve.'iince of an energetic1 newspaper man. The featuri fl*ni at the ("Join theatre for Mondiy night is n dandy, entitled "The Riilvatlon Army Ljiss," n strong drama hy the American Blograph company, which will reveal tlie famous "Ten Nights In a Ttar Pool)'."

Statistics show that there is no more profitable investment in the United States than Trust Companies and that they have paid on an average over 10 per cent in dividends per annum. Canada offers a still more inviting field on account of the great amount of natural wealth still undeveloped. Safety With Profits When you trust an Individual with looking after your estate, investing your capital, or acting in any other oapacity, you trust to the judgment of one man. With the Trust Company you depend upon tlie judgment of a number of men. They are generally selected on account of their honesty and good judgment displayed In the successful operation of business of various hinds. Their collective judgment is invaluable. The public have not been slow to realize the great value of sucli a combination. Herein lies the safety of the investor. The time to Invest is at the beginning of an enterprise. When estimating the dividends paid by the above companies do not fail to notice how the stock has advanced in value. The Colonial Trust Company have decided to receive appiiciiinus lor $50,000 of stock. About 25 per cent of this amount has already been subscribed.

Steadily, persistently, uninterruptedly, through good times and bad. Just because of the irresistible growth of population. ' • Do not get the idea that real estate Is advancing too rapidly in value. The highest price yet paid in Vancouver Is about $3,000 per front foot. The best sites In San Francisco are held at $10,000 per front foot and the ground floor rent is $70 per front foot per month. Experts claim that Inside property in Spokane Is almost as high again as ln Vancouver. Vancouver Is only just beginning to grow. The rush to British Columbia has scarcely started. Do not wait until two more Canadian and another American railroad, the Panama canal, the great electric power plants, steel and iron works, nnd the movement of the grain west ere all accomplished facts, because they mean -wonderful things for Vancouver and New Westminster. They mean that real estate between the cities* will advance tremendously in value. No matter where you live, nor how small your capital, you can begin today the creation of an enduring ever-Increasing estate. One or two lots may mean a fortune for yon. Our new Burnaby addition is selling fast. In a short time they will be gone and there will be another advance In price. Come in today or write. ■ U^i.y. The Wright Investment Co.
