FEBRUARY 8, I9*n NO. 251 OVERRIDDEN Resolution is Adopted Over Mayor's Ruling ABOLITION OE SALOONS SOLICITOR REPORTS AGAINST SCHOOL BOARD—COMMITTEE i WILL EXAMINE ITS BOOKS— i COUNCIL TAKES UP CLOSING OF POSTOFFICE. Three matters of great public interest arose at last night's meeting of the city council. One of these was the question of protesting to the postmaster general against the cloBing of the lobby of the Nelson postoffice on Sunday. Another was Aid. McDonald's resolution expressing the opinion that the saloon licenses In Nelson ought to be abolished next November.* Another was a written opinion from tbe city solicitor on the Issue between the council and the school board, the opinion upholding the council at every point. In addition to these questions, which provoked considerable debate, a resolution was adopted in regard to the sale of liquor in unlicensed premises. and an informal decision was reached to hold committee meetings this week and prepare the year's estimates for the next meeting of tlie council. All the members of the council were present except Aid. Wells, who left yesterday morning for Spokane to undergo treatment for the serious illness from which he has suffered for the last two lrj-.aka. The Opinion of the city solicitor, A. M. Johnson, was requested at the previous meeting, upon the request which the city council made of the school board for fuller details of estimates, outstanding accounts, and tbe return of a sum alleged to be due tbe city, and upon the letter of reply froqi the school board, tbat body having taken ' the general ground that it had already fulfilled all he obligations to the council that the Schools act imposed upon it. Mr. Johnson's opinion, rendered under date of Feb. 7, and addressed to Mayor Selous and the chairman of the finance committee. Aid. McMorrls, was as follows: "Dear 8irs^-I have read and considered the resolutions of the city council of Jan, 24, the Tesolutons of the board of school trustees of Nelson of Jan. 31., and the financial statement of the Nelson public schools for the year ending Dec. 31, 1909. "Taking up the resolutions seriatim, I am of the opinion that the words 'detailed estimates of the sums required by the board for the current year's ordinary expenses of maintaining the ' schools,' mentioned In section 42 of the Public Schools act and amending acts, .should be construed in their ordinary meaning. I think the municipal council ls entitled from the school board ■to fuller details of the words 'supplies' and 'contingencies,' mentioned in the school board's estimates for the year 1910, in view alone of the fact that these two items amount to ?2,700, practically 11.5 per cent of the total estimates. "Prom last year's financial statement It appears that under the head of the word 'supplies' the school board expended $6i>2.24, and I think that the municipal council ts entitled to some further information from the board as. to why the board expects to expend $1,500 during the year 1910 for the same purpose. "The question of 'furniture' In resolution No. 2 of the municipal council has been dealt with in resolution 2 of the school board. "With respect to resolutions numbered 3 of the municipal council and school board, I, am of opinion that the school board has no power or authority under the Public Schools act, or otherwise, to dispose of school property. "By section 39 of the act the board is expressly given 'the custody and safekeeping of the school property of the district, and (power) to Insure school buildings and furniture/ It never could be contended that such power ever contemplated or could be construed as a power to sell the school property and expend the proceeds of such sale as the school board saw fit. I am further of the opinion that all school property, real and personal, within the corporate limits, Is the property of* the municipal corporation, and .with regard to school property Bhown by the stehool board's statement to have been sold by the board and the money arising from such sale expended by them, I think that the school board should have notified the council that it had property on hand not necessary ifor school purposes and advised the council that the same could be disposed of advantageously, and if the council had no objection to such' course, the proceeds of any such sale should have been paid over to the city treasurer, to dp by him credited to the board of seiiool trustees account. "In analyzing the statement of receipts and expenditures submitted by the school board for the year 1909, I note that part of the receipts consist of rebates on Insurance premiums, I assume that these insurance premiums were paid by the city, in which case the city should unquestionably have been paid the refund direct. In rendering the above opinion I am of course assuming that the 'school property sold' was originally bought and paid for by the corporation of the city of Nelson. "With regard to resolution numbered 4, the auditor's statement points out that the public schools statement does not Include the outstanding accounts payable at the end of the year 1909. As these particular accounts were not furnished the auditor, I think that In fairness to the council ithe board should now furnish the council with a detailed statement of same as requested -In the council's resolution. "The board states that it can give no further information (as to outstanding accounts) than that contained in the hands of the city clerk. "If there are any outstanding accounts for the year 1909 and such vouchers do not give tne information sought by the council, the council ls at liberty under the provisions of section 37 of the Public Schools act to appoint by resolution of the council a committee of the council to Inspect all the books, accounts, vouchers and papers of the school board, and so satisfy the council on .this point. I gather from the fact that It is the duty of the school board to report annually to the municipal council upon the expenditure of moneys received by the board, that the council is now justified In asking the school board to furnish them with particulars of such expenditures during the year 1909. "If the school board has during the year 1909 incurred any liability beyond the amount shown to be at their disposal In the account known as the board of schobl trustees account, the board has exceeded Its statutory authority, and the city is not liable therefor. "I do not think that the .municipal council has any authority to deduct moneys over-expended in the year 1909 (if any) from the moneys set aside and allotted for school purposes for the year 1910." Aid. Rutherford reminded the council that the matter had also been referred to the finance committee tor report, and asked whether a report was to hand. Mayor Selous replied that the city solicitor's letter had come in very late In the afternoon. Aid. McMorrls, chairman of the finance committee, said there was little the committee could do, so far as he could see, except to recommend the adoption of tbe attitude defined by the city solicitor. His .worship said tlie only need for early .action arose from the fact that the accounts that the school board bad sent in at the last meeting were being held up pending adjustment, "Are the teachers' salaries being held up?" Aid. Rutherford asked, to .which his worship replied "No." Aid. Carrie asked if the auditor had not found the accounts correct, and his worship replied that at that time , the present vouchers had not been sent in by the. school board, and there was nothing to show whether they were for December or January. The vouchers were called for, and his worship read out the dateB, a considerable number verging around the •first of January. The aldermen agreed that there was no certainty to the month they belonged to, and that it was \a reasonable Inference that vouchers dated Jan. 1 were for Indebtedness incurred before that date. In view of the attitude of the school board, that it was not obliged to enlighten the council on the various matters referred to In the correspondence, it was agreed that the council owed it to the public to press the investigation further and satisfy itself. Accordingly a motion proposed by,Aid. Rutherford .and seconded by Aid. McDonald, was passed' unanimously, delegating the finance committee and W. E. Wasson, city clerk, a committee to examine all "the books, accounts, vouchers and papers of the school board" under section 37 of the Public Schools act, Aid. Carrie wanted to include specifically in the motion the letter from the department of education which the members of the board claim is their justification 'In the matter of selling the old building. The mayor pointed out that the board had not mentioned this letter in Its communication. Later the members of the committee informally announced that they would discharge-their duty this week. . The following letter from the city solicitor was read and filed, being in answer to a resolution fathered by Aid. Rutherford at. the previous council meeting: "In answer to your letter requesting .me to advise the council as to the i council's authority or control over the ^police force of this city, I beg to advise you that under the provisions of sections 232 and 233 of the Municipal '■Glauses act the chief of police and all constables are under 'the sole control and government of the board of commissioners of police for the city. "The board is empowered by statute to make regulations for the government of the force, for preventing neglect •or abuse and for rendering the force efficient In the discharge of its duties, and subject to the control of the board of commissioners of police. The force is under the direction df the superintendent of the police of the province. "The act also empowers the board of ■commissioners of police to be paid by the council, and I can find nothing in tho statute which gives the council any authority or control over the police force. "If the council has any recommendation to make concerning the conduct or duties of tlie police force of the city, I think that such should be made to the board, with a request .from the council that the board take same under consideration."

IS APPROVED Change Will be Benefit Says Factory Inspector NATIONAL CONVENTION ARRANGEMENTS FOR GREAT CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION IN OTTAWA NOW COMPLETE- DELEGATES FROM EVERY CONSTITUENCY CHOSEN MARCH 15 (Special to The Daily News..) VICTORIA, Feb. 7—Replying to ques- ilpns from Ernest Miller the following statement was made b.y Hon. W. J. Bowser "1. In June, 1903 the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company, Limited, laid Informations against John P. Tonkin, who had been manager of the company, for certain alleged offences in connection with his management of the company's affairs. Warrants were issued on tneze Informations, but were not executed, owing to tlie absence of Tonkin from Canada. The company afterwards in 1909, advised the attorney general that an injustice had been done hy the company to Mr. Tonkin In laying the above information and .that It desired to have the informations, including the proceedings and warrants issued thereon, withdrawn and annulled. Inquiry into this matter was then Instituted and it was found that the said informations and warrants had been burned in the fire at Fernie on Aug. 1, 1908. No further proceedings 1» the matter were therefore subsequently taken." This 'means that Mr. Tonkin can come back without fear of prosecution. Little business was done In the house today. The bills providing for medical Inspection of schools and exempting the factory inspector from being called on to give evidence in suits for damages were each advanced a stage. Incidentally Mr. Bowser showed that In his opposition to the latter Mr. Hawthoimtliwaite was going contrary to the wish of the Inspector-who had been nominated by the trades and labor council of Vancouver, and also to thfc "opinion of the trades and labor re,pre:entatives now in this city, also that the course which Mr. Haw- thorntliwaite advocated would be injurious to worklngmen. Mr. Hawtnornthwaite then called on Mr. McPhillips, the author of the Factory act, to give his opinion. Mr. McPhillips thereupon said that the effect of the bill would be the opposite to what Mr. HawIhonnthwaite said it would be. * The frades and labor delegates presented the usual petitions to the government1 asking for public ownership of public utilities. They also asked lor the abolition of the poll -tax and the protection ofi worklngmen im the ^ C.N.R. contract. The premier said the poll tax could not be removed this year but when the C.N.R, contract was brought down it would be found that tne interests of the workihgman had been protected. VICTORIA, Feb. 7—R. F. Green has returned from Ottawa where he took part In the conference of Conservative leaders from all parts of tlie dominion to arrange for a great national convention and was interviewed by .The Daily News correspondent. "This is the first time," he remarked, "In the history of the Conservative party in Canada that such a convention has been called. Delegates will be chosen from every constituency in the dominion and wilt come together in a sort of parliament of the Conservative party, to decide in what way it shall 'be organized and upon what platform it shall appeal to the people at the next general election. "This Is a thoroughly democratic method of procedure, each delegate will be free to 'bring up 'the issue that he thinks ought to be raised, the planks that he thinks ought to go into the platform, the forward, progressive steps that he thinks the government of Canada ought to undertake. The representatives of the Conservative eletors of Canada will have the framing of the party policy in their own hands. Though In opposition In the dominion house, the Conservative party of Canada is a mighty national force. Conservative governments are in power in five out of the nine provinces and these five provinces include Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia, the three greatest provinces of Canada with the exception of Quebec. Even in Quebec the Conservatives were In but a small minority of the popular vote at the last dominion election. The policy that such a party decides upon will have a far-reaching effect on the future legislation of the country. And when it glrdB up its loins-to the fight and enters the conflict, well prepared and well organized Its chances of victory will be better than they have ever bein since the liberal accession to office. "The country is ripe for a change and the Conservative party Is full of confidence. That is the feeling, not only on the part of delegates from > British Columbia but the delegates from every other province. Everywhere the feeling is the same as reflected In our reports from all parts of the dominion." - Mr, Borden himself has been greatly encouraged by the success of the conference as the following letter shows: "My Dear Mr. Green—I appreciate most sincerely your attendance at the recent meeting of delegates charged with the duty of making preliminary arrangements for the approaching convention. I was never present at a more businesslike gathering, and I hope that the future work In preparation for the ccnventloni will be carried out with equal thoroughness and efficiency. The fact that out of 30 parliamentry delegates selected from every province throughout the dominion no less than 26 were present is ample evidence of the strong interest and enthusiasm evinced by the Conservative party in this 'movement. "With renewed thanks and all good wishes for the new year, believe me, Your8 faithfully "(Signed) R. L. BORDEN." "When will the national convention be held?" Mr. Green was asked. "On .the 15th and 16th of June, at Ottawa," "When will the delegates be selected?" .,. "Not later tha_ M^trch 15th." "That Is the date fixed at Ottawa?" "I have just received a letter from Mr. Blount, the dominion secretary, who expressed the hope that the British Columbia central organization will be able to let him have a complete list ofl the delegates as soon as possible after that date." "How will the delegates be chosen?" "It was decided that every Conservative member of the dominion parliament amd every defeated Conservative candidate in the last election should be ex-otflcio delegates; also that 20 delegates be elected from each constituency. With a view of having the convention as representative as possible defeated candidates for tbe local legislatures amd delegates from Conser* va .ve clubs will also be chosen. For British Columbia the method and means of selecting these delegates will be left In the hands of the central organization of the province. The provincial executive will meet almost at once to begin the work." Mr. Green visited Toronto, Montreal and- other centres while in the east. Everywhere he found the greatest interest excited In the extension of the C.N.R. to the Pacific with the consequent development of British Columbia The sweeping victory of Hon. Mr. McBride has also greatly delighted Conservatives.

The critics are unanimous thai In power of lyric beauty, "Chanticler" is unsurpassed, and many pronounce it Rostand's masterpiece, the play of human weakness in the barnyard romances but manifest doubt that it will prove a popular dramatic success. English and American critics fear that the French flavor will be wholly lost in translation.

CHAMBERLAIN HOPEFUL TARIFF REFORM MAIN OBJECT OF CONSERVATIVE POLICY COLONIAL TEAMS ENTER FOR THE BISLEY MEETING LONDON., Feb.'7—Joseph Chamberlain, on being Interviewed said final victory would only' take a little longer thaa hoped for. Tariff reform lost many voteB owing to successful abuse of the lords and the wobbling of the local leaders In Scotland and In the north of England. He declared tariff reform must remain the main object of the Conservative policy. It waa the moat popular plank and there was nothing to replace it. Respecting the suggestion that the policy should he changed, or that the imperial side should be displaced In regard to the food tax, Mr. Chamberlain said there were always wobblers when a great policy was proposed but there would be fewer wobblers in future. The working classes in many parts were far ahead of their leaders on tariff reform. "It Is no use waiting until you are asked questions about food duties and, look as If you are afiald. They are very simple to explain*, and when explained are always understood. I do net think we shall hear much about them next election." If In parliament, Mr. Chamberlain said he would try to have tbe government out in six months. The Unionists' aim in respect to the house of lords should be to strengthen it by reform of its constituency. Finally Mr. Chamberlain again referred to the suggestion to drop tlie imperial side of his policy and said this was its strongest side, as the working classes always responded to an Imperial appeal. "We must have the full policy or nothing," he concluded. LONDON, Feb. 7—The January statement of the board of trade shows Increases of $12,104,000 in linports'and $30,000,000 in exports.

The order paper was swept pretty clear of much business, and private -number W. James* Conmee held tlie centre of tlie stage for some time, while his bill for a waterway «anal trom Rainy river to J£dmonton was shaved of some of Its powers, chielly water powei.s, and then sent to the railway committee lor further discussion. Hugh Guthrie, who has assumed tne role of -fne 'apostfle of technical education, secured from Mackenzie King some information as to tliu replies received from tlie provincial premiers icgarding the appointment of a royal commission to Investigate* Canada's educational needs, lit this respect Nova Scot.a would be delighted lo see such a commission appointed.

As however, tlie minister suld the commission would merely collect information whloh would later on be placed at tlie disposal ot tlie provinces, Mir Lomor Uouin saw no object ion lo the appointment of a commission.

He had received a telegram of protest from the business men of Winnipeg. The mallei' is under consideration. Mr. Lewis brought up the lecent example of the value of wireless telegraphy on the Atlantic cooyt line or the United States and suggested that the government protect the St. IjiwrSnee channel ami other trade route's by wireless stations. The premier replied that the government would piotect Ihe coast lino with wireless stations and a navy as well. Tiie item of private bills caused much discussion on two measures. The lirst of these was tlie bill incorporating "L'ln- siitute de Noire Dame Des Missions." an educational uud charitable instiiution which operates in three provinces and. which hltehrto has been working under an old Manitoba charter. The uuestlon of provincial rights was raised and incidentl- ly Col. Sam Hughes took the ground that educational institutions should come under tho control of tiie provinces. The argument was rather prolonged, Sir Wilfrid Laurier tinally saying that the provinces controlled public schools, but that every British subject hutl the right to send his children to private schools, The hilt waa passed with some amendments as to property rights. The associations real estate hofdings are limited to a million dollars and the provincial laws relating to mortmain will apply, except where the property is within the legislative uuthority of tiie Dominion house. Mr. Conmee's bill to incorporate the international Waterways Canal and Construction company, to which on a previous sitting Mr. Pugsley strongly objected, was read a second time and sent to the railroad committee. Tlie following amendments were made: The Assinibolne river was safeguarded; the compuny was do privet] of prior rights to water privileges: the company's plans must bo approved by the waterways commission and the government; the company is to have no control over non-navigable waters. Also, the bill must reprinted and all objections must be heard, MONTREAL, Feh. ,,—The railway commission began its sessions hero today. A couple of minor complaints against charges madti for local service by tho Hell Telephone company were taken up. Tomorrow it is expected that the most important .matter to be dealt with by tho commission will be tlio request by tho Elder- Dempster Steamship company that the railways be ordered to grant goods, shipped over their lines to Montreal, St. John and Halifax for shipment over its lines to Peutro, Mexico, tiience by rail over tlio Tehuantepec railway to Sancollmo and thence by Canadian-Mexican steamship lines to Vancouver and Victoria, export rates. The complaint of the steamship company Is that those goods arc now charged local freight rates, which are iu excess of export rates, and that us a result they are unable to carry these goods at a profit. The reply of the railway is tbat they are engaged In the carriage of the same goods by rail to Vancouver and Victoria and that it is unfair to order them to make a rate in competition against against themselves.

For more than SO years it has been curing female complaints such aa inflammation, ulceration, local weaknesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration* and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs but little to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, asMrs.BarclaysayH,itis "worth mountains of gold to suffering women. Parker Williams said he was In) accord with Mr. Jardine. Social disease, of which Juvenile crime waB a symptom, should not exist In any country. Tbe people of Vancouver made their ■living chiefly by selling real estate. This put up the rents. This caused overcrowding. The children had to play in the streets and they learned the habits of the street. The Industrial school had been painted in bright colors. It made him think that It might be a good thing for children in, rural school districts to commit some offence so that they might be sent there. Mr. McPhlllips expressed his great gratification that tiie attorney general had seen fit to take this step. He would have been willing that some sum should have been give™ from the provincial treasury In addition to what is now expended. Thia legislature has shown itself to be progressive in its treatment of the young generation!, for instance in the excellent school system. Perhaps they had progressed too far in exempting children from parental control. They were mow endeavoring to redress that In this legislation. It was a splendid attempt to rescue ' children who might otherwise go wrong. He might tell Parker Williams that juvenile wrongdoing was by no means due solely to poverty and congested population. It was due rather to the neglect of parents to give proper moral training. Mr. Brewster Joined In the compliments paid to the attorney general om this legislation. Parker Williams and Mr. McPhlllips had mentioned causes that led to the. creation of criminals. He might mention that there was very little crime tni Prince Rupert and this he attributed to the fact that there were no places licensed to sell intoxicating liquors. JUVENILE COURTS ACT OBJECT OF NEW LEGISLATION IS EXPLAINED MEETS WITH FAVORABLE RECEPTION FROM LEGISLATURE (Special Correspondence.) VICTORIA, Feb. 7—After comparatively brief remarks rrom Hawthornthwaite, Brewster and Carter-Cotton the Assessment Act Amendments hill was given Its second reading Juvenile Courts In hie speech moving tbe second reading of the Juvenile Courts bill Mr. Bowser mode a remarkable and favorable impression upon the house. It had become, he said, widely recognized that it was not desirable to deal with childien by trying them on charges in the ordinary police courts or combining them in ordinary jails with older criminals. BriUsh Columbia would be the first government to have an act of this sort applying to tiie whole country. But many governments had been experimenting with such courts and they bad been a success. A iboy when arrested should not be put iu jail with older and perhaps hardened and habitual criminals. The bill provided for a house of detention and a probation offioer. The former would be suitable for such cases. The officer would investigate the case thoroughly and know what recommendations to make. Thero would be a careful plan ot reform based o_ the experience with such courts elsewhere. Assistance would be sought also from committees representing religious or philanthropic bodies with large experience in dealing with boys. Parents, If blameable. may 'be charged as accessories and may be punished or fined. If a boy proves ttnaily incorrigible he will be sent to the Industrial school. The superintendent of the Industrial school and his wife, who have been doing such excellent work were sent to investigate methods elsewhere ki various parts of the United States, in Great Britain and lu the eastern provinces. They found that a great deal of work bad been done In Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto. The work done there had been remarkable and quite justified the proposed legislation. Instead of growing up into criminals boys were growing up into useful citizens. By reason of this trip the superintendent would be In a still better position to deal with any boys who might be sent to the Institution. It was already ait Institution with a splendid record. Statistics were quoted showing that most of the boys had earned pardons and had become good citizens. At the present time, taught by one of the older boys, all their clothing is made in the school itself. The boys are taught lu school, given manual training, taught to earn a living, given physical and moral training. Religious training is looked after by members of the various' religious bodies. The three main elements of the plan wene the detention home, the probation ofricer, the assisting committees and the industrial school. Such courts may - be estaMiElied in any city 1_ the pro- vinoe. Mr. Jardine said that every member of the house woe gratified tbat the attorney general bad taken hold of this matter in the way he had. In this country, if his side of the house came Into office the affairs of the country would be so managed that <no juvenile courts would be necessary", poverty being abolished end something Uke a miilenium introduced by the adoption of the single tax. SEINE IS FALLING Premier Expects to avoid Epidemic- Relief Distribution Continues PARIS, Feb. 7—ii-e Seine has fallen today more than 13 feet from Its flood maximum and the city has begun to assume its normal appearance. The streets are clear of water and the wreckage done by the flood is rapidly disappearing. About amd below the city the waters have returned to the river bed and householders are busy cleaning and drying their homes. Train service in all directions is being restored and some of the factories have resumed operations, thus decreasing the number of the unemployed. In many quarters the gas and electric light services have been renewed but it will be many days before the transportation service, telegraph and telephone and other utilities are in complete operation. Premier Briand. in presenting the flood situation before the cabinet today, expressed the belief that- the effects of the disaster would be somewhat less grave than had been anticipated. He said that he felt confident that the measures prescribed to prevent an epidemic would be effective. The cabinet decided to ask parliament to grant new credit for the furtherance of the work of restoration. Tomorrow, by agreement, the authorities on relief will discontinue the promiscuous distribution of relief supplies to all comers, confining the list of those aided In each arondisement, to those resident in the particular commune. The object is to furnish substantial aid and permit families to return to their own homes as rapidly as possible. Many industrial concerns are allowing their employees half pay for the time that they were enforced into idleness. THE BURDEN OF EMPIRE.

CHAMORRA CUTS OFF ANOTHER ARMY FROM CAPITAL, BLUEFIELDS, Fe. 6.—Dispatches received here describe the engagement which took place between the provisional forces under General Mena and the government troops. In an official dispatch General Mena says he de* feafced 600 of the enemy, commanded by General Carrida, a Guatemalan, at Las Carttas, which Is midway between La Libertad and Julgalpa. Mena completely routed the enemy, capturing many prisoners and rifles. The loss to the Madrlz forces was heavy, while tbe provisionals suffered but slight loss. General Mena la pushing forward to Join General Chamorra at Comoapa, which Is well along the way to Managua. Chamorra in .the laat few' days in hts advance upon the capital executed a flank movement, thus evading the Madriz troops, which expected to engage him at Acoyapau. Comoapa is one and one-half days from Teustepe, Managua province, with a clear road from there to Granada. The Madriz forces, the dispatch aayB, have retreated to. Santo Domingo, directly to the north of Teustepe. General Chamorra holds all the lines to the Interior and the enemy behind him ls completely cut off.* General Aurelio Estrada. Do Yob lead Shaking?

It acts directly on the liver, increasing the flow of bile and causes the bowels to move regularly and naturally. "Fruit-a-tives" is the greatest of kidney regulators, overcoming the tendency to congestion of the kidneys and strengthening these organs. "Fruit-a-tives also stimulates the skin to renewed action.

METHOOISTS INCENSED AT THE AFFAIR. • ROME, Feh. 7.—Protestants In general today warmly congratulated former Vice President Fairbanks of the United States on what they term his dignified attitude regarding the refusal to receive him at the Vatican. An opportunity to pay his respects to the pope had been granted Mr. Fairbanks, at his request, but was withdrawn. He declined to abandon his purpose of addressing the Loyal Society of the American Methodist Episcopal church. The Catholics, on the other hand, express regret that what was Intended to be in the nature of a homage to the pontiff should have given rise to a cause for friction. Each party accuses the other of having assumed an irreconcilable attitude. The Catholics place the responsibility for the unpleasantness upon what they describe as the offensive Mtjthodlat propaganda being conducted. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-CritIcIsIng the action of the Vatican for refusing former vice President Fairbanks an audience with the pope because he would not cancel his engagement to address the Methodist churchmen in Rome, the Ministerial association of Washington today adopted a set of resolutions framed by a committee headed by Bishop Cranston of the Methodist Episcopal church in which the action of the Vatican authorities Is described as "a characteristic expression of the real spirit of the Roman hierarchy." "We congratulate our former vice president on his vindication of the American spirit of toleration and his exhibition of the dlgnty of free American manhood in this most significant test in Rome," said one of the resolutions. Protest against recognition by the government of the Vatican is made In strong terms. Such a recognition is described as inconsistent with national traditions, and "a sanction of ecclesiastical assumption outgrown by the world, and a distinct menace to religious liberty." Bishop Cranston sent the following cablegram to Mr.. Fairbanks: "Your dignified vindication of American toleration heartily endorsed by our clergy and people." Featherweight Bout. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb. 7. — Tommy O'Toole of Philadelphia had a shade the better of a six-round bout tonight with Billy Allen, the Canadian featherweight champion, at the National Athletic club.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL QUESTION. it has always seemed to us that there is something a little unmanly in any attempt to make political capital at the expense of the interests of our public school children. Governments, however, in tlie administration of public education, are continually hampered by party politics and still more often by sectional politics. The real estate or the general business of some locality may be affected by the taking of this or that course hy the government. Sectional politics enter. The government is urged to do something that may not be in the interests of the public school children— or, perhaps, of the university students —whose welfare Is entrusted to its guardianship. If it refuses, political opponents endeavor to take advantage of the situation, and to make a few votes by appealing to the sectional interests whose wishes have not been complied with. On the other hand, if the government does not refuse, who suffers?—who pays the cost?—not the government, but tlie general educational interests of the young people of tbe province. The question of a second normal school, to be erected In Victoria, though not quite similar, in analagous. Mi'. Hawthornthwaite's constituents have a normal school within about forty miles; he wants another within about sixty miles. Mr. BrewBter. who represents the Liberal party in the House, and whose constituents are in much the same position as Mr. Hawthornthwaite's, joins In the same request. They both wunt a second normal school and they want It In Victoria, within about eighty miles of the existing school. Neither of them has a word to say for creating any other normal school in the province, though there is a larger population in the Kootenays than in Victoria, and though It is not eighty miles, but several hundred miles from the existing school. Is this an instance of what they mean ■when they talk of justice, the rights of the majority, the greatest good of the greatest number, political righteousness and political morality; or is it an Instance of the cheapest kind of political expediency—an appeal to sectional self-interest, an appeal for a sectional bribe? If Mr. Hawthornthwaite and Mr. Brewster do not propose to create special privileges for one part of our population, then on what principle do they base their request? Do they think that there should be norma] schools at Intervals of eighty miles throughout the province, or that there shall be one normal school for every 50,000 of our population? Do they think that such normal schools would be, or could be, made to provide as good training for teachers as that given in a single school upon which the efforts of the government, ana the means at its disposal, were concentrated? Every one who has even an elementary knowledge of what a normal school Is and of what Is necessary in order that it may do what it ought to do, knows that the dissipation of our means in this way would result In impairing the training of our teachers. And to say this is to say that it would result in loss and injury to tens of thousands of children whose Interests in this matter are entrusted to the members of the legislature. Mr. Parker Williams has grasped one point clearly—the effect upon the welfare of children of the quality of the school they attend. The quality of the school depends mainly upon the quality of the teacher. And what a student gets from a normal school varies with the quality of the normal school, In the same way and to the same extent. If the normal school Is not what it should be, his pupils In turn will suffer. To read the puerile questions Mr. .lardlne lias been putting in the House one would think trlat pupils went to school to memorize textbooks in a mechanical way, and that the object of an examination was to find out If the pupil had done so. One would Imagine, further, that the work of .a teacher could he laid out in a series of minute regulations .applicable to all localities, al] Individual teachers or all Individual pupils; and that the duty of a provincial school superintendent was to enforce these regulations rigidly In all cases. H is the function of a normal school to give a teacher a more enlightened idea of his work and to fit him for doing it in a more en- llghtened way. The creation of a normal school tn Victoria might be a convenience to a few dozen normal school students, who would not then be asked to go to the terrible hardship of traveling eighty miles frpm home; it might sell a piece of real estate, give someone a building contract and make some business for retail merchants and boarding house keepers. But It would be an Injury to the normal school students themselves to give them Inferior training. What1 is still more important, to lower the standard ot training for our teachers would be an injury to thousands of children In our public schools. And when the time comes that British Columbia can have a second normal school without impairing Its quality, that Bchooi should be placed not within eighty miles of the existing Institution, but a few hundred miles distant—at some point in the Kootenays. f\T THE THEATRES An Inlcrcstln-? program is billed at the Ebipire thtatre for this evening, it includes several good pictures. "For Her Country's Sake" i.'- u good pictuie- dealing with strenuous times during the Con federate wnr. "A Life lor a Life" Is a lirst rate dramatic Lnliin lllm.

Frank Hanlson is a regular scream In his Impersonation .r mi oid maid. Sam Glider Is certainly deserving of his , soubriquet "Tlie Lone Stur Minstrel." He is a wiiole show In himself. The pictures shown were very good, portraying the "Man In the Iron Mask," which Is a splendid pictorial presentation or Uie famous novel hy that name. The other pictures shown, "Lillians Christmas," and "Chicken Thieves," were also very good. Among the pictures to be shown at tlie Arcade this afternoon and tonight are: "Ingomar, the Barbarian." '£|ils is a love story, which, for beauty and dramatic pose, lias never been excelled. "A Fish Story," of tiie humorous character, brings out some very comical scenes; likewise "The Warden's Nightmare." "On the Zambezi" is Instructive In addition to its .other virtues; the views of the cataiact und falls are particularly Inspiring. "Life on a Training Ship" niuv be classed In the same category.

Mackenzie said he read in the press where that resolution had not actually been passed by the Vancouver council, but simply stood as a notice of motion, and where exception was taken to the matter being represented In a light as If it was the actual opinion of the ancouver council. Aid. McDonald endorsed the idea of government telephones. The local rates for Nelson were very reasonable, but it was the long distance rates that caught the public. "It is a subject of which I am beautifully ignorant," admitted his worship. It was an affair into which he would like to look carefully before adopting a policy. Personally, he would lie chary of turning the telephone service over to the government for operation. Aid. McMorris said that while he was strongly in favor of government or municipal telephones, he believed it would be wise to see first what was behind tlie present movement. The communication was laid on the table. Dr. Fagan of Victoria, provincial health officer, wrote asking a grant of $350—on the basis of $30 per 1,000 population—toward the sanatorium of the Anti-Tuberculosis society at Tran- quille. His worship said tljat last year the city had tried to get a patient into the sanatorium, but had been refused. On motion of Aid. McMorris the city clerk was instructed to write Dr. Fagan, asking for a definite statement of what advantages would go with a subscription to the sanatorium. A request from the Canadian Municipal union for the annual fee of $15 was filed, after his worship had remarked that Nelson had not thus far reaped any tangible advantages from its membership in the union. The motion, of which Aid. McDonald gave notice a week ago, was read, Aid. Mackenzie seconding it, its terms being as follows: "That in the opinion of this council, 'salooin Hncenses to sell intoxicating liquors in the city of Nelson should he Thirty Day Slaughter Sale of Kootenay Fruit Lands I am instructed by the Columbia River Orchards, Ltd. to place on the market for quick sale their entire Central Park Subdivision on the Columbia river, Kootenay district of British Columbia, consisting of 6C lots at from $30 to $380 pet Lot $5.45 to $31.80 pet Acre Terms: $10 cash and $10 per month. No'lnterest. Taxes paid until 1911. On March 27th, 1909, Mr. J. D. Anderson, B.C. Und Surveyor, wote us with reference to tho Central Park property as follows; The more I see of this particular block, the more highly I think of It. There Is no possible doubt but this is very high grade fruit land and it Is u pity that settlers are not already on It. It Is so easy to clear, and the land is tho characteristic high grade fruit land of this distriot, that is sure to be In time a very profitable tract. It compares very favorably with the Doukhobors- land at Waterloo and the McKenzle land at Champion creek below Waterloo, held at *50 to % 150 an acre. Never before have B.C. fruit lands been offered at such ridiculous prices Moo Is "° object These lands MUST BE SOLD within 30 days. The owners "»'«jlven definite instructons to sei every lot regardless of price. This, I believe, ls the first time the public has be#n given the oppor- tunlty to buy fruit lands at such prices. Maps, surveyor's reports on each lot aad application forms will be mailed on request. The Sale Lasts for Thirty Days Only Write at once for Particulars ■ E. B.

L abolished as soon as the holders of such licenses have had reasonable opportunity to dispose of their stock In trade, and that this council considers a reasonable lapse of time therefor will have elapsed on Nov. 1,1910." "Any discussion?" queried his worship. ' Aid. McMorrls rose to a' point of order, stating that the subject matter of tbe resoluion had been deal with at a previous meeting in the bylaw to amend bylaw 207, which had been given the six months hoist. Under the rules of procedure, he did not believe the matter could be again taken up, and he aBked for a ruling. Aid. McDonald—Mr. Mayor, It Is a different motion altogether. His worship, after some study of the motion, gave it as his opinion that the subject matter was the same as that of the motion disposed of at the previous meeting referred to, but its terms were different. "Are we agreed that its subject matter is the same?" he asked. "It Is a different motion altogether," Aid. McDonald dissented. His worship then proceeded to look up authorities. "There is nothing very delinite In the bylaws," he announced presently, He finally found a'section covering unprovided cases, which stilted that in such cases the laws und usages of the dominion parliament should be tollowed. "That puts it up to Bouri- nbt," said his worship. "There Is no doubt of what Bourinot rules on that subject, in the event of any matter being brought up, and dealt with unfavorably, it cannot be brought up again at that session." Aid. McDonald—But that was a bylaw and this ls a motion. His worship—I cannot distinguish, Aid. McDonald, between a bylaw and a motion In this case. The subject matter Is the same. Aid. Mackenzie—The other was to alter a bylaw this is merely a resolution intended to abolish saloon licenses. His worship—So was the other. Aid, Mackenzie—That was certainly its object. His worship—The only way in which •the resolution differs irom tbe bylaw is in the change of date. Aid. Carrie—The resolution is only an expiesslon of opinion, it does not bind the council. Aid. McDonald—I know I am right, your worship; I didn't come here unprepared. Aid. Rutherford—If the resolution Is adopted, it will be a warning to the saloon keepers that we intend to abol- lsh the saloons. It is only fair to give them warning. His worship said he could not take into account any of those considerations, which had nothing to do with the point of order raised. He upheld Aid. McMorris' point of order and ruled the motion offered hy Aid McDonald out of order. "Shall the ruling of the chair be upheld?" he then asked. The ruling-was mot sustained, Aid. McMorris voting or it, and Aldermen Rutherford, McDonald, Mackenzie and Carrie against It. The resolution Itself was now before the council for determlnation and was discussed at some length. Aid. Mac- enzle said he would vote for it because the mayor had said at a previous meeting that the passage of the bylaw would mean the wiping out of the licenses right away. Aid. McDonald demanded the mayor's authority for that statement, to which his worship replied: "My own* faulty knowledge of law." Aid. McDonald said he had consulted the three best lawyers in Nelson and the city solicitor, and the four of them had agreed that there was no way to' take the llcem-es away from the licensees before the end of the term for which the licenses had been, given. His worship replied that he did not want the council to fake his law, as he had remarked before, but he went by what Ills Inner conscience told him, and that was that If the licenses were abolished the licensees could -demamd the return of their money. "How can they sell liquor after we have abolished their licenses to sell?" he asked. ♦"How can you say that?" protested Aid. McDonald. "How can you take that attitude?" "How can you take yours?" returned his worship. Aid. McDonald—The mayor should know what he is talking about before he turns a thing down. Aid. Carrie—1 talked to the city solicitor, and he told me the moment the council passed the bylaw abolishing saloon licenses, the saloon keepers could demand retund of their money. This brought a look of astonishment to Aid. McDonald's face. "This only shows," remarked his worship "that it is not fair to quotes • either a lawyer or me, unless we have' expressed ourselves In writing."' "You're an old timer in the council, and pretty well posted, your worship," said Aid. Mackenzie, smiling, and his worship replied to this appreciation with the smiling rejoinder "I am learning every week. Aid. Mackenzie." The resolution was adopted on the ssme division as before, reversed. Aid. McMorris reiterating hls opinion that he regarded the motion as out ot order. Aid. Rutherford moved that coplps of the resolution be sent to ail the saloon keepers. His worship inquired If the report of the council meeting In the daily paper would not be sufficient intimation to the persons concerned. "I am still mayor," he remarked gently, "though this has been passed over my legal ruling. I am aware that Aid. McDonald does not have much opinion of my legal ruling," this with a smile at Aid. McDonald who returned the smile, "but I have given a ruling to the best ot my ability. I still have a month In which to veto the resolution if I wish, and at the end of that month, if I veto it, you can pass It again. As for giving notice to the saloon keepers, I do not tbtnk they expect much mercy at your hands. I will ask Aid. Rutherford if he will not withdraw his last motion, Run-Down?

American and European plans. George Wright and Mack Carroll late of Winnipeg, Proprietors cut of consideration for me." —cer this appeal, no one felt like pressing the motion, and it was quietly dropped, though Aid. Carrie said he would like to have the saloon keepers notified. The following resolution was offered by Aid. McMorrls: "That whereas the city of Nelson, B.C. Is a commercial and tourist center, many persons reaching the city late Saturday might, leaving again Monday morning, and obtaining their forwarded mail here on Sundays; and "Whereas, the Nelson postoffice is a distributing postal centre, (necessitating a limited amount of Sunday work by local employees; and "Whereas, box holders have always had access to then boxes on Sundays as well as on other days ever since the office was opened years ago, such freedom of access being a special inducement held out to the public to rent said boxes; and . "Whereas, the postmaster general has recently directed that the main entrance doors of the said office shall be closed on Sundays thereby preventing box holders obtaining access to their hoxes on that day; and "Whereas, the closing or opening of the said main entrance doors of said office will In no way affect the Sunday work of the said employees; and 'Wheieas, the closing of the said doors of the said office on Sundays, while In no way benefitting said employees or lessening their Sunday work, causes great public Inconvenience and unnecessary annoyance here "Be it Resolved, that this council unanimously protest against the closing of the postoffice lobby here on Sundays, as effecting no good or useful purpose; and that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the postmaster general by the city clerk forthwith." "Are the employees still going to work?" asked Aid. McDonald and Aid. McMorris replied in the affirmative. "r don't see,why the lobbies should not he opein," said Aid. Carrie. Aid. Rutherford, speaking as one who knew what Sunday work was, said if the people who were clamoring for this convenience knew what Sunday work meant, working year In and year out, they would hesitate before asking for this slavery to be imposed on anyone. He would like to see drug stores closed tco. Aid. McMorris pointed out that tlie time table just going into effect would bring the coast mail to Nelson at 11:30 Saturday night and his worship said it meant staying over Monday in tbe case of travellers who had to get their mail in order to transact business. It would not mean a bit of extra work beyond the opening of the lobby doors. Aldermen McDonald and Mackenzie -took the ground that they would vote against the resolution if it'would cause any extra work to a single employee, and Aid. McDonald held that the local convenience here should he considered along with the fact that it might cause employees In other places to work on Sunday, , It was decided to investigate the matter, to see if it would mnke any difference to the employees in Nelson and deal with it next week. On this understanding, Aid. McMorris withdrew his motion. Aid. Mackenzie gave notice that at the next regular meeting he would move that all employees of the corporation he granted an eight hour day. The Hollowing motion, submitted by Aldermen Rutherford and Mackenzie, was adopted without discussion, save that his worship remarked that It followed the opinion of tlie city solicitor. "Resolved that in the opinion of this eounc'l the sale of liquor in unlicensed bouses should be stopped, and this council res]>ectfully requests the police commissioners to have such illegal sale of liquor stopped bv the police." A drain under the Methodist church appears to be damaging the sidewalk and a creek on Robson street is also paying havoc. These matters, together with the question of repairs to the fire hall, were referred to the board of works. An application was received from the C.P.R. for water for a house on Mill street, west of Stamley street. A motion was adopted, offering to put down the pipe If the company would attend to the excavation. The question of an early start on the work of assessment was also discussed, and the best location for the bandstand. Several thought the bluff overlooking the lake would be ideal, especially after the tramway was in running order, though mayor Selous said there was a strong sentiment In favor of keeping the band on Baker street. It was decided to commence work on the various committee estimates at once.

Frank Beeston of Nelson, B.C., is passing through the city on a visit to England, accompatiled by his wife, says the St. John Globe, They are the guests of Mrs. L. P. D. Tllley who ls « sister of Mrs. Beeston. Mr. Beeston Is tlie secretary of the board of trade of Nelson, and speaks In glowing terms of Ills western region. In conversation with the Globe, Mr. Beeston praised St. John very highly. He paid a visit to the board ot trade, and was pleased with the rooms of the local board. He remarked, however, that while Canada contains many progressive cities, none can equal .s-■ihdii. In fact, the whole district of Kootenay is the richest district in minerals in tlie world. The opportunities offered in this virgin country are manifold, and the time is not distant when this district will play one ot the most Important roles of the Dominion. Regarding the town of Nelson, Mr. iieeston believes that the possibilities are unlimited, and the opinion of western people Is that Nelson will lie within a few years the largest and most Important city In the west. Mr. Beeston knows Canada and Canadian conditions thoroughly, having heen a student of Canadian affairs while yet a commissioned officer in the Hudson Bay company, of which he Is now a retired officer. In giving an idea of the progressive spirit of this young town, Mr. Beeston stated that during the year 1909 the total amount of public money which passed through his hands for advertising and other Inciilentul purposes amounted to over $8,000. This is a very large sum, when the fact is considered that Nelson contains hut 7,U00 people. The motto of the people In this town ls expansion, and to gain this they will spare no effort either In labor or money. Mr. Beeston stated that his trip to England Is purely one of pleasure, and some personal business. He Intends, how- over, to look Into the condition!-, manner and extent of how Canada Is being advertised lu the motherland. Mr. and Mrs. Beeston will spend a few daj'B In the city, visiting friends and relatives, before sailing. They expect to be absent about five weeks. SUICIDE AT FALLS.

NELSON TRIMS PHOENIX LOCAL BOYS CAREER OVER ICE WITH WINGED SKATES FINAL SCORE STANDS FOURTEEN TO FOUR The Nelsoh hockey tefim had their scoring clothes on last night, and the .way they placed goals in the net of the visitors from Phoenix was a pleasure to see. Dashing attack and scientific accuracy combined to win tlie day and by an overwhelming margin. This is not saying that the Phoenix boys were poor, but for the occasion they were outclassed. The Nelson boys had winged skates and particularly In evidence were the swooping tactics of Harry and Archie Bishop, whose speed and combination placed and kept Nelson in the lead. The score of 14-4 left a record that could not be disputed. iThere was a fairly large attendance and the ice was in perfect condition. At 9 o'clock the teams lined up for battie. Just four minutes later Harry Bishop started the scoring. In less than another three minutes Archie Bishop scored twice, and live minutes later Harry Bishop scored again. Dunn came In with a count one minute later, then Archie Bishop followed four minutes later and Harry Bishop one minute later. Just before the end of the ilrst half K. Hackling scored a goat, making the count k-(i In the Drat half. Phoenix seemed to have more determination In the second half, for tn Ave minutes It.

C, Feb. 7.—The department of militia and defense at Ottawa has forwarded to the mayor of Fernie a bill amounting to $7,457.07 for blank- ets and camp equipment which had been sent to the city immediately after the terrible lire of August, 1908, and which have not been returned to the department. It will be remembered that thousands of the citizens were homeless and it was absolutely necessary that shelter should be provided at once and the government was asked for tents and blankets. The relief committee has made every effort to collect all these tents, but as most of them had to be utilized through the following winter, many were destroyed or scattered, and only a portion could be returned to the military stores. Hence the bill from the authorities. As the federal government did not donate a cent for tbe relief of the stricken town, though It generously contributed large amounts to foreign cities In the time of adversity, the demand is looked upon here as most cruel and inconsiderate and unworthy of the source from which It emanates. Tbe necessity for increased school accommodation becomes more apparent every day. At the present time there are over ninety pupils from Fernle Annex attending the school which Is located in the center of the town. As this involves a long walk and the children are very young, the residents of that section are agitating for a school building of their own, and It is con- fldetly expected they will be able to secure one in the near future. When the nominations for mayor and city council were held at the beginning of the year there were no candidates declared properly nominated, and O. H. Boulton, city clerk, communicated with the provincial secretary's department requesting that an order in council be passed providing for a new election when the following reply was received by wire: "Consult your city solicitor. Department cannot interfere."
