V - I EIGHT PAGES- 60 CENTS A MONTH VOL. 10 REPUBLIC IN CHI Regent Chune Retires With Tears and Prayers HARMED PEOPLE ADMITS DOWAGER Yuan Ski Kai Supported by Anti-Manchu Faction- Asks British Aid PEKIN, Dec. 5—An.edict announcing the resignation of the regent, Prince Chun, was issued today by the empress Dowager. It Is signed by the members of the cabinet and points out that the administration has been unpopular and that a constitutional government haB not yet been established explaining this by the fact that the complications had thrown the country into turmoil. The regent regrets that his repentance came too late and feels that if he continued In power his commands would soon he disregarded. The edict reads: Honest but Ambitious "He wept and prayed to resign the regency at the same time expressing his earnest intention to abstain from politics. I, the empress dowager, living In the palace, am ignorant of the state of affairs, but know that rebellion exists and fighting continues, causing disaster everywhere, while tbe commerce and friendly relations suffer "The regent ia honest, though ambitious. Being misled he haB harmed the people, therefore hiB resignation Ib accepted." / The edict demands loyalty to the ministers from the people, who must now realize tbat the court does not object to the surrender of the power vested in the throne. The regent has been granted 50,000 taels annually from the Im- ■, perial household allowances, ' "As the imperial and revolutionary leaders at Hankow have not yet come to an understanding, the armistice has been extended for an additional three days. Yuan Asks British Aid Premier Yuan Shi Kai has let Pekin know that he has taken the, British minister into his confidence. He has told tho minister his plans and hopes much from the minister's mediation. On the other hand, the rebels tonight confidently declare that Yuan Shi Kai is their man. They describe him as a master statesman because he is accomplishing the transition from the Manchu dynasty to a republic without a massacre or an attack on the legations. Yuan Shi Kai Ib now greatly powerful within the limitation of tbe disrupted government. The premier has promised to abide by the decision of the assembly which is admittedly Republican. It is believed the premier desires foreign mediation in order to insure safety of the court and tbe granting of pensions. The legations of the larger powers nre increasing their guards to between 300 and 500 men.

Will Prevent Manipulation OTTAWA, Dec. 6—The dismissal of public servants by the government since the election was the subject of an unfinished debate today." A, K. Maclean of Halifax introdced the discussion in a speech in which he stated that officials had been removed without notice and without enquiry. Hon. R. L. Borden, who replied, said it was not the desire of tbe government to dismiss any but those who had been guilty of partisan conduct. He expressed the hope tbat the time would come when the Civil Service act would be applied to the whole outside force. He said the rules regarding the dismissal of officials bad been laid down by the house but they had been disregarded by the Liberals, which made It difficult for the new government to live up to them. Sir Wflfrid Laurier said no oTficlal had been dismissed by hia government until he had been. granted an inquiry or until his member of parliament had deposited with the minister concerned a statement to the effect that he had been a partisan, The present government had dismissed men without inquiry und without any written statement by the member of the house. He criticized the change in the personnel of the waterways commission and said it would create a bad Impression !n imperial circles. Veterans' Warrants Good Another Year P, B. Carvell said a charge of parti- Ban conduct had been laid against every on.ciai in his constituency and that those dismissed included a lady post master, who was not Interested in politics, Hon. Robert Rogers Informed E. M McDonald that'the government had not considered the question of legislating to exclude orientals from Canada. Re plying to questions asked by Hon. Ro- dolphe Lemieux, the minister of the Interior said that during the last six months 8G5 immigrants had entered Canada from Belgium and 1,416 from France. * Hon. Robert Rogers haB given notice of a bill to extend for one year , the time in which holders of South African veteran warrants may take up land in the west. Terminal Elevator Commission OTTAWA, Dec. 6—Hon. George E. Foster moved a resolution for the consolidation of the Manitoba Grain act and the Inspection and Sale act and for the establishment of a commission to operate terminal elevators. The minister wanted the resolution disposed of out of Its turn. He explained that the proposal was similar to that contained In a bill which passed the senate last session, which was not disposed of In tbe commons through lack of time.' I thought it was obstruction," suggested Hon. William Pugsley. "No," replied the minister, "lack of time," There would, he proceeded, be a full opportunity for discussing the measure and some amendments would ne moved by the government. Mr. Pugsley, who was leading the opposition for the moment, expressed fear that the government was establishing a commission to administer the grain trade of Canada. Is it the intention of the government," asked W. E. Knowles of Moose Jaw, "to provide that no person Interested in an elevator, shall be Interested In the grain trade?" A definite promise being made in this reBpect, Mr. Knowles gave the government to understand that such a provision would remove the motive for manipulating grain at the elevators, the resolution was passed and the bill Introduced. Discharge of Public Servants A. K. Maclean opened the debate on the dismissal of civil servants hy the process of moving another man's resolution regarding a motion by F. B. Carvell for a list of dismissals elneo Oct. I. Mr. Maclean moved for the papers and proceeded to discuss "tbe business of axe-swinging after elections." He began with the "BhowerB of bleBslngs" for the Conservative faithful in Halifax, the worst offence committed by some of the victims being that of cast ing Liberal votes. He mentioned the case of one man who the governmen' bad said, resigned from the Tracoma hospital Btaff. Mr. Maclean said lhat this young man, being an experienced man in the ways of governments, acted upon a demand of the premier's running mate in Halifax that he forthwith resign. The policy followed by the • WILL INDICATE • • NELSON'S IMPORTANCE • • * • Not only will The Daily News . • • special number, to be IsBued • • about the firBt week In Janu- • • ary, contain Important articles • • on the great natural resources • • of this district and their de-- • • velopment, but special attention • will be paid to Nelson as a • wholesale and retail centre and • as a delightful place of resi- • dence. late government after 1896 was Mr. Maclean believed, pretty well known. "Yes," said a Conservative member, "pretty well known." Their policy has a r.netlmes been viola*'d Mr. Maclean waa i.eady to admit, b it thousands of Conflow vat Ives appointees .,.<ld been permitted to remain in office despite their active partN'inshtp. The policy oi the Liberal government was, the Halifax member declared, "generously lnterprete'1 generously applied." He urged the advisability of having each case investigated before the axe fell, Instea*;. r.f ncceptbs "palpable falsehoods," Instead of tuklng "unjust suspicions" and accepting; "selfish recommendations." Mr. Mael-un asked lf Mr. Poster had given any<ns dismissed an opportunity for nn investigation. Mr. Foster: "I have dismissed nolle with one exception. I dismissed him for cause and not for partial, reasonB,*' Approves Premier's Stand Mr. Maclean insisted that the can. should not be determined by the nimist:: He expressed a fear that there were to be more dismissals. He did think that ori-2 department especially should be free fro.n this sort of thing and that was the post- office department. The average postmaster he said, was a public philanthropist *r.d a public servant. His freedom should h.-t be curtailed. Calls Postmasters Philanthropist's Mr. Macleod said that It so happened that tho premier's first utterancen In parliament when he became a member in 18DG were in regard to tiie matter umlor discussion. Mr. Borden had taken the ground that the members of the cl.-il service ought to have the right to their political opinions and the right to vote, but they should not be guilty of acts of partisanship, neither should they negl >ct their duties. He approved uf this ni tttude and wondered if Mr. Borden's judgment had deteriorated or if the unexpected Conservative victory had caused him to lose his balance In. this regard. In conclusion Mr. Maclean mi id that his sole o1ijent in bringing on a discuss! in was to secure rrom tiie premier and '■ i colleagues a statement of the nollcy they proposed to adopt In-the future in regard to the dismissal of ptinilc servants, ns wll as an explanation of the policy which had been followed up to the present time. Premier Deprecates Partisanship Mr. Borden comnllmented Mr. Mac-lea- on the way In which he r.nd discussed th': matter. Ho Bald that In ISM lie was Impressed with tho wisdom of the nroredurj which he had himself outlined in tl"* Louse when a new member. The rule as ln!d down was a good one, but during the In years he hart seen tt subject to a grai deal of change. Mr, Borden snid thnt the rule boll, '.n regard to the Inside and outside service 'iul boon laid down formerly by statue and later by a resolution introduced by Tt. S. ' tike. Qu'Apo'elle; in 10W nnd agreed to by the house. Botli nni"imted to practical.' the same thing, government employees being allowed their opinions, but refused ll.o rlirjit to engage in nnrtisan won: el+he.* !n federal or provincial politics. Touching briefly "n The conditions in Halifax county to which Mr. Maclean h;t'l referred .Mr, Borden said thnt durlnr the recent contest he saw tlirw? public offlaEra actually engaged In partisan work. In the pnSt the Liberals Hnd not lived un to their ideas and In tSOfl he knew oi at '.east two officials in Halifax county who ha 1 been dismissed without Inquiry. AnxlouB for Enquiry The premier said thnt he was .personally anxious that no official be dismissed without Inquiry. When ll was know" ie- yond dispute that an official was guilty, the government nnd no choice but to dismiss him. He hoped that the day woul 1 come when the civil service act mnv l e extended to take part and later to tal.? in all or the outside service. In ISflfi ti.' present loader of the opposition had stii'- ed that If an officeholder desired to be a riolltlclan he should he allowed to he ti-vi, but should not remain In the service, lie agreed with this view. Dismissals for Cause Only In conclusion lhe premier said thai he would like to stae some defined rule ndopl- ed, a rule which could not possibly he misunderstood by officeholders and which could then be applied irrespective of part" affiliations. He snid there was no genera) desire on the government's side for wholesale dismissals. The rules would be ap- nlled In a direct wny and there would lie no dismissals except for cause. Sir Wilfrid Laurler, who replied, said that Mr. Borden was sound In doctrine but not In nrnctlce. He said tlmt he liad a good deal of sympathy for tho premier. Office seek* rs bad descended upon him like the loouatft if E-ryot. He had admitted that he could «of lie free from them even at lunch time, Mr. Borden—Tli3se were not office seekers. Sir Wilfrid Laurler contended that there •■■wl i.een dismissals for which there coild be no possible justification.

Sherlock Holmes Outdone by Los Angeles Sleuth. M'NAMARA COULD NOT STAND STRAIN Science of Silence Marks New Era in Modern Criminology LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. G—James -B, McNamara's confession was brought about by putting into practice a theory never, before advanced before In criminal caaea in America. The theories of "Sherlock Holmes" are equalled by tbe methods used by Samuel orowne, chiel of the Los Angeles detective bureau, to "break down' (he man who blew up the Plant of the Times. The "science of ailetice" is the term thnt might appropriately be applied to the latest theory of criminology. Three weeks ago the prosecution began to bring It into play. It was a veritable "mental third degree" demonstrated in a grim way. Women J. B. McNamara had made love to, men with whom he had skylarked and comrades with whom he had eaten and slept were led into the court, room one by one, only for a moment, just long enough for the eyes of the younger of the two prisoners io fall on them. Then they were hurried away. Twenty-eight of these "witnesses' were brought iu during the three weeks "The particular thing that brokf McNamara," said Browne, "was the positive personal identification day after day. He knew thut as these people came and identified him It proved that we had picked out another place where he had been."

RUSSIAN TREATY American Jews Up in Arms at Treatment NO ABITRATI0N NO DELAY, THEY CRY Passports Held by Catholics, Baptists and Presbyterians Are Dishonored NEW YORK, Dec. 6—"If the United States would seek relief from Russia's repeated violation of the treaty of 1832 she must do it now. There can be no arbitration, no delay." So declared Representative William Sulzer, chairman of the house committee on foreign relations, In addressing at Carnegie hall tonight, a masB meeting called to protest against Russia's polic- towards American citizens of Jewish faith. Russia had acted boldly and shamefully, he said, and he concluded .with a prediction that legislation abrogating the treaty would soon be enacted. Mr. Sulzer said in part: "The treaty with Russia says American citizens are entitled to the same rights in Russia that Russian citizens are accorded here. If these rights are not granted them then the treaty Is violated. Russia does not deny that she discriminates against certain classes of our citizens, and when complaint is made, figuratively speaking, she shrugs her shoulders and asks: "What are you going io do about it?' Not Merely Jewish Question We have carefully lived up to our treaty obligations with Russia. Every Russian coming to this country has been granted all the rights stipulated In the treaty, irrespective of race or religion. This is our conception of the treaty of 1832. "What are we going to do about it? Our answer is: Abrogate the treaty. ''This is not. a Jewish question. It Is an American questiou. It involves a great principle, it. effects the rights of all American citizens. Russia not only refuses to recognize American pass ports held by Jews, on account of their race, but she also refuses to recognize American passports held by Baptist missionaries, Catholic priests, Presbyterian divines and others, on account of their religions beliefs. Diplomatic attempts from time to time have failed Io secure from this czar's government even a promise that it. would try to give us less cause for complaint. By her inattention, Russia has openly refused to give the matter nny consideration, confident that America's financlnl interests in her country would prevent us from taking any radical step. I am in the fight for justice to all to the end and I shall make every effort, to pass my resolution to abrogate the Russian treaty. I have reason to believe that it will speedily be enacted into law."

Judgment—I find as a fact that so far as the plaintiff ls concerned he commenced, continued and concluded the negotiations in the belief of the truth of the representat ons contained in the advertisement and letter of Oct 6, 1910, that he had no suspicion that his acreage was being curtailed, that he accepted the statements of Ihe number of apple trees, the condition of the farm, the quantity of faH wheat, without question, having full confidence In the defendant.

Phone 68 oil for coal aB fuel for the engines of ] the Canadian Pacific railway passing through the mountain section In British Columbia has heen under discussion for some time. Mr. George Bury, who has succeeded Sir William Whyte as vice-president of the company, now announces that he hopes to have the tanks necessary for the operation of locomotives hy oil fuel from Kamloops- to Laggan erected at once, and that the engines will be converted so that the use of oil will be possible next spring. The railway authorities expect that oil will prove to be more expensive as fuel than coal, and the primary motive in making the change is that the labors of the firemen may be lightened when the trains are ascending heavy grades. A secondary consideration, but one of vastly more interest lo the general public. Is the preservation from fire of the timber resources lying along the route of the railway. The UBe of oil as fuel wiil prevent the eruption of sparks from the smokestacks of locomotives, to which countless disastrous fires have owed their origin and which has been the caiiBe of immense loss of timber and of other property. . If It is possible for the railway company to use oil when convenience in operation makes coal undesirable. there can be no good reason why oil should not he employed when the use of coal constitutes a peril to merchantable timber or to other property. Success in the use of oil for locomotives between Kamloops and Laggan may induce the railway company to extend its application to other sections of the line in British Columbia.. If it does not do so, the saddling of the railways with more specific responsibility for the exlinction of fires starting in the vicinity of their right of way and for any damages that may be caused, would no doubt have a healthy effeqt It. is a matter that deserves the earnest attention of the Conservation commission, for there is abundant evidence that fires caused hy sparks I'rom locomotives are the chief danger that threatens the preservation of the timber resources" of a great part of British Columbia.

"The Christmas rush has commenced with greater vigor this year than at any time in the history of Nelson,'1 declared a merchant, who has heen in t'-e city tor the past 15 years, last night. "Already the majority of people seem to have purchased presents for their old country friends and the big demand just now is for articles for neople In the east. Grocers tell me, too. that their Christmas business has also started exceptionally early. "By the middle of next week the rush will be nearly at its height." Commencing with Saturday, December lfi, nearly every store In the city will be open in the evening for the convenience of buyers of seasonable goods, The postoffice provides one of the busiest scenes in the city, while the customs office ls almost equally flooded with work. Parcels to the old .country should have been dispatched-by this time, though If mailed by tomorrow they stand a chance of being delivered on Christmas day. The latest date for mailing letters is Monday next. Even letters, however, should be sent away this week, as In the old country the malls are so congested at Chrlstmns- *lme that delays of three nr four f'nys In dellverlps are rather the rule than m»p exception. Successful in Action For Damages Against Standard Silver-Lead Mining Company. Damages to the amount of $1,600 with costs were awarded .Hugh W. Lancaster in his action against the Standard Silver-Lead Mining company after the jury had deliberated one hour and 20 minutes yesterday evening. The verdict was. awarded; "On the grounds that iwe, the jury, do not consider that adequate precautions were taken^ for the protection of the public." Mr. Lancaster claimed that he had suffered severe Injuries to his back through his horses having been frightened by a blast fired by the Standard company along the Four-Mile road near Silverton, when he was hauling ore for the Van Roi mine. The defense, which opened yesterday, was that all reasonable precautions were taken to warn any users of the road and that it could not have been foreseen that the horses would take frteht from the blast and run nway. L. P. Eckstein and A. M; Tohnson appeared for the plaintiff and O. R. Hamilton, K. C, and E. C. Wragge represented the defendant. Brakes Partially Applied. W. H. North, superintendent for the Standard company, said that xthree men were employed on the blasting work and that they gave a warning whenever a shot was about to be fired. He stopped the team after the injury to the plaintiff had taken place and found that the brakes were partially but not entirely on. Dr. L. 13. Borden said that a certain amount of damage had been done to the muscles and ligaments above the hip. The hip itEelf was uninjured. He thought it would be a year at least before Mr. Lancaster could do any hard manual .work. It waB Impossible to etve anvtbina;- like an estimate as to when the ligaments would be repaired entirely; they might recover slowly or quickly. W. E\ Zwicky, manager or ihe Ram- hlev-Cariboo mine, said that in surface ''lasting work- the only warning ever <->"pti '"-ns flip crying of the word "tW i«rt he'r'-a the explosion. He e^pirp o^m m fiVTience of 30 years i« T-ir.H'o* Columbia, Colorado, Idaho and Oregon. Mlc>ht Have Been Drowsy. W. C. E. Koch, who did a large ore hauling business for many years In this district, testified that it was customary for good drivers to have their brakes so arranged that the wagon could be brought to a stop almost instantly. The reason for being prepared to control the wagon instantly was so that in rough nlaces the team could lie assisted with the brakes, when the wagon hapnened to he running into occasional hollows. A good driver should always he prepared to control his wagon with the brakes. Mr. Koch thought that four liorses could not run away in a distance of 3H feet. He suggested that it was noasi- hle that tbe plaintiff mlrM have been drowsy at the time off the accident. George H. Aylard. mnnisrer of the «tandnrd mine, snid that the Hnintiff nnntQ to Ms nffloe niri ptntert thnt he wastn '■oor m«n and the defendant fnnir-anv -irns rich and that he thought it should keep him.

Ferguson and H. Pitts Made Big Scores The Y.M.C.A. gymnasium last even- Ign was the scene of an exciting basketball" game between forms 2 and 3 of the high school. Orange and blue were intermixed at nil stages of the game and it took the referee most of his time to dissever them. For the first half the blues seemed lo have the better of the play and the "yallerB" were a little slow in getting started, but when they got warmed up to their work there was no holding them, and they walked away and finished to the tune of 25 points, while their opponents had to be content with 15 points less. The checking throughout was splendid and was a useful object lesson to teams in the other gymnasium classes, Johnny Ferguson mostly found the baBket for the blueB and It. Pitts, in his usual clever style poked the ball Into the enemy's stronghold 13 times. Armbrister played a good game and Glbbs was a useful partner of Pitts. During the Interval there was a short exhibition given by the "youngest basketball player In the world," bo It Is Sterling Silver SETS Our Sterling sets are Sheffield make and the best to he found ln Canada today.

WINNIPEG VANCOUVER Mortgagees Foreclose but Acuori is Said to Be Preliminary to Important Developments Another page in the history of the famous Blue Bell silver-lead mine at Riondel was written yesterday when C. R. Hamilton, K.C, on behalf of the Paris firm of bankers, Valentine & Riondel, was granted an order absolute by Chief Justice Hunter on the foreclosure of a mortgage for ¥139,797.35. This foreclosure ls considered by some of those closely ln touch with the conditions in connection with the property to mean the commencement of a new era of development of the mine on a scale which it has hitherto been impossible to attempt. No details as to probable plans are given out but it has been suggested that the mortgagees in possession, In view of the bright future which lies before silver-lead-zinc mining in the Kootenays, can hardly fail to dispose of the property, in all probability in PariB, to a strong company. The Blue Bell mine was one of the first silver-lead properties to he discovered and operated in the Koote'nays. For years before the white claimed the district as liis own the-Indians worked the mine for metals out of which they made bullets. Under the regime of the Canadian Metal company It has been n big producer. The property is we'll known for Its large bodies of ore which can be mined at an exceptionally low cost.
