MAY 30.1912 NO. 38 BEdY PRIEST Otherwise Marriage of Catholics Void by Quebec Law CONSTITUTIONAL POINTS ARGUED Expected that Hearing on Lancaster Bill Will Conclude Today (By Dally News Leased Wire.') OTTAWA, May 2D—Even If two Ro man Catholics were to publicly do clare their Intention of marrying so that it'was known from one end of the province of tjuebec to tho other thai they would get married, but not be fore a priest, the parties almost repudiating their church, and such i marriage were to lake place, It would be null and void and no marriage un der the Quebec law. This was brought out In the argument before the 8u- ■ preme court today by P. B. Mlgneaull, K.C, counsel appointed by the Dominion government to oppose the enactment of the Lancaster bill. Mr. Mlgneault maintained that the publication of banns, and the presence of the parish priest of tho parties wai necessary and that publication elsewhere than in the parish was of no avail ns a marriage under the clrcum stances of the two Roman Cat-holfcs by a non-Catholic, clnndestlnlty such as thiB was contrary to law. "I submit that Mr. Justice Charbonneau Is wrong In his Judgment when he says that no nullity Is declared," stated Mr. Mlgneault in dealing with this point, Constitutional Point The third days argument on tho marrlugo reference proved to be of a most interesting nature. It saw the completion for the moment of the side affecting the laws of Quebec and the resumption of the argument affecting tho broad constitutional and jurisdictional points by I, F. Hellmuth, K.C, who for the opponents of the bill, followed by Migneanlt. Mr. Hellmuth claimed that' the Lancaster marriage bill was aimed boldly at the rights of the provinces and that the promoters declared their intention of usurping rights hy asking for legislation enabling the Dominion to declare Its power to deal with solemnintlon. Incidentally, .Mr, ITellmutli nnnounced that he had merely been asked by the Dominion government to represent the opponents of tho bill and had no instructions whatever from the government, nny announcement or attitude which he was tnklng being solely on his own initiative. There la a probability that tho hearing will conclude tomorrow, R. C. Smith, K.C., and A. Ceoffrion K.C, representing the province of Quebec, are still to be heard, while Wallace Nesbltt and Eugene Lafleur for "the promoters will liave lhe privilege of replying. Mr. Mlgneaiiit argued that the bh- ject of tho Quebec marriage law Is to prevent clandeslinity In connect ion with marriages and that this Is fully guaranleed by the publication of banns.. He also contended that the conquest of Cnnadu did not abrogate the civil laws although it did nut make changes ro civil lawn. Mr. Mlgneault who hnd been speaking, for five hours laid not concluded when court rose for luncheon at 1 o'clock. Treaty of Paris Resuming his remarks after recess Mr. Mlgneault took up the treaty of Paris. He said that this treaty ond Its clauses superceded capitulation. "A treaty is a contract between two governments," he said, "while articles of capitulation are tin agreement between a government and the inhabitants. In other words, capitulation Is a pact between the conqutjror ond the Inhabitants of the country. Free exercise of their religion to all orders of Christianity was given under the article*-* of capitulation. A free exercise of religion was guaranteed." A photographic copy of the articles of capitulation will be secured from the archive-- hy Mr. Mlgneault at lh'1 request of tho chief Justice and submitted to the justices. There are certain erasures the court wishes to take under advisement. Marriage a Sacrament "Marriage, according to the doctrine of tho Roinnli Catholic church, is u sacrament, the rights of the administration of Which are given exclusively to prleBls of tho Roman Catholic church and If any Interference Ib allowed with the sacrament It will Interfere with the articles of capltulu- llon," asserted counsel. "Tlie object of the law Is to prevent claadestlnilv" counsel L-intinued, "and If, as contended by Mi\ Lafleur, a non-Catholic can marry Catholics without publicity oi publication of banns, then I say, Unlaw has fulled In its Intention." Counsel then took up consideration of section 127 of tho Quebec civil codo relutlng lo the impediments. This clause contains the words "or other causes" after specifying relationship ns an impediment. These words Mr. Mlgneault maintained, were intended to recognize all canonical impediments without attempt at enumeration, "It Is absolutely beyond question that clandeslinity Is an Impediment under the meaning* of this clause," he declared. "It seems to me that it would be Idle to sqy that such an impediment is more in words than ln essence. It was intended to recognize It as an Impediment under the canon law as - it undoubtedly is." Justice Idlnglon-—I do not see how you stretch clandestlnity.so far as to cover the ground we are to look into. Mr. Mlgneault—-Yo«r lordships aro asked whether the marriage of two Roman Catholics is null and void un less contracted before a priest, . Justice Idlnglon—rHupposIng two well known people, -Roman Catholics, declared their Intention and It was known from one end of the-province to the other that they would get married, but not before a priest, almost repudiating tholr church as It were? Mr, Mlgneault—Of course, the ques tion assumes they are still Roman On thollcs? Justice Odlnglon—Yes, how can you bind them when clnndestlnlty does not cover their condition? Mr. Mlgneault—Clnndestlnlty consists In marriage before anyone but the parish priest. The same caso would apply as if they were prohibited by degrees of relationship. Justlco Duff—Then the presence of their parish priest Is essential?* Mr, Mlgneault—Yes. Chief Justice—Then there can be no publication .of banns except in tlu church to which the partleB belong? Mr. Mlgneault—Publication elsewhere Is of no avail. The words Df tho Council of Trent have the effect of making this an Impediment. Chief Justice-—Mr, Justice Charbonneau in his judgment suid that nullity is not declared. Mr. Mlgneault—I submit that M: Justice Charbonneau Is wrong when he says that. Counsel produced two certificates from tho vicar general of the province of Quebec certifying thnt tho decrees of the Council of Trent were read at least once a year In every church hi tho provlnco of Roman Catholic r ligfon. On concluding Mr. Mlgneault was congratulated by the chief justice oi the lucidity of his argument. Following Mr. Mlgneault, Mr. Hell muth, K.C, of Toronto, for the oppon ents, look up the constitutional aspect of the question involved and the jurisdiction as container In question*! 1 and 3, and submitted to the courl that the absolute validity of marriage depends upon the observance of ihe law of the place of celebration and not only Involves the Dominion or pro vlnces but tho people of other countries who aro continually coming inti ihls country. "I maintain there enn he no marriage unless the requirements of the lo cal law are met," Mr. Hellmuth stated and quoted many authorities In sup port of his contention. International Law * ■ rhternutlunnl law entered -.-cry large' ly Into Mr. Hellmuth'S discussion of the question of the constitutionality and jurisdiction of the federal purlin- ment und the provincial legislatures counsel showing a great breadth of knowledge and answering with great readiness and force the queries from the Justices, who continually plied them. "I cannot find anything stronger than this," he said In reference to one citation. "It goes clearly to show that there can be no common law marrluge under English rule." Justice Idlnglon—What nbout Scotland? Mr. Hellmuth-~I was about to say with the exception of Scotland. Chief Justice—What, would you say that Scotland is upder English rule? Justice 'Duff—I guess vou had better say British. (Laughter.) "I challenge nny dispute to the proposition that there must ho solemnli*a- linln," continued Mr. Hellmuth. "There must bo gone through forms and ceremonies as- are proscribed by the law of the place. There Is no law by which the parties can bo married except by their consent. Mr. Hellmuth then attacked directly several of the provisions of the Lancaster marriage bill, which he claimed were aimed at the rights of the provinces. "The promoters boldly say (Continued on page five.) PETTIPIECE IS NOT GUILTY Jury Brings in Verdict of Acquittal After First Disagreeing—Out Three Hours. (Special to Tho Daily News.) V A NCOU VER, B.

MONTREAL, May 29—Surrounded by Liberal loaders from practicality every province of Hie Dominion und enthusiastically cheered by hundreds of his most ardent admirers, Sir Wilfrid Laurier tonight spoke of the Liberal party as rising superior to tlie crushing defeat of last September and gaining day by day In prestige and power. Passing lightly over Liberal defeats since the Conservative regime entered Upon Its career at Ottawa the leader of the federal opposition evoked loud applause from his solid Liberal audience. Sir Wilfrid promised fight till the last and attacked the Conservative ministers for abandoning principles for office. As a tribute, from Liberals of the whole Dominion to their aged loader, wiio remained in command in the hour of defeat, when no other seemed fit to lead the disorganized forces of the party, the banquet tendered Sir Wll frid Laurier by the Montreal Reform club at the Windsor tonight was unqualified success. As a political move the organizers expect from it far reaching results. A Liberal banquet on such a scale as that which took place this evening Is quite unparalleled in lhe history of the city. Probably never before has such a gathering of Liberal leaders as that which met tonight to honor Sir Wilfrid been in attendance at a single function. Leaders of Liberal govern ments from several provinces where the party Is ln power sat side by side with their less fortunate brethren who lead Liberal oppositions 'In such pro vlnces as possess such organizations. Practically all of the last Liberal cabl net were in attendance, the exceptions being Hon. Messrs. Cartwrlght, Oliver, and Paterson while among the speak ers were many of tho young members of the party who have already beconu noted at Ottawa. Telegrams of regret were received from Premiers Slfton and Scott. Nearly 600 were present and the capacity of the dining room was overtaxed, but no one failed to hear Sir Wilfrid's address for his voice was full and clear and never wavered during his long [oration. His address wai fighting speech, a speech which while touching on defeat dwelt more on anticipated victory. Elaborate preparations had been made to record Sir Wilfrid's speech an innovation at Montreal banquets. Sir Wilfrid was severe ln attack and his comments were listened to with great Interest. In fact, at only one time during tho entire speech did interest flag and that was when he launched into a long discussion on reciprocity reviewing once more lhe whole question, the declaration of former Conservative support, Hie churgn>s of change of front fur political ends, the declaration that the Liberals met defeat not because of the main issue but through a heterogenous collection of elements, the treacherous union of Rorassa und Borden, the unreasoning sentiment of Ontario, lho race cry in Quebec und oilier allegations. The Guest of Honor It was 9 o'clock when the banquet commenced and nearly 10 before Sir Wilfrid was introduced by President Qarneau of Hie Reform club hi nn address which paid full tribute to the guest of honor. Now that eight months had passed since the last election, Sir Wilfrid 'declared that the time hud come to look at the whole matter and consider what were the value of the objections raised to the main issue of reciprocity and what policy was now to bo.followed since it was far enough removed to be considered without bins. "I need not tell you,'' he said, "that on tho Conservative sinle froth and fury took the place of argument and reason and that they represented reciprocity as the first step toward annexation, and that the contest was represented ns one between the British and American flags for supremacy In Canada." Accepts Verdict. Proceeding, Sir Wilfrid pointed out that there wero great problems confronting Canadian development. Among Ihese was that of securing larger markets for Canadian products; "I believe that reciprocity would have largely solved this problem," he continued, "but I am a constitutionalist and I accept tho verdict of my fellow citizens, but the problem is still there and In oven more acute form." The problem existed tn tho East whllo in tho western provinces larger markets were au Indispensable neces- clty. Canada had been pouring population into the western provinces and the problem was, whore would tho crop go? 'I^WWC-VI ntliiulng, he pointed out that the Conditions whicli caused Mr. Foster to go to Washington, uflei< getting the consent of three great railways. Mr. Foster had to have the consent of the corporations. He went to Washington and got permission from t the interstate commerce commission to ship grain south on the same terms as io Port Arthur. This was Eulas Foster who made the welkin ring at the want of Canadian patriotism on the part of the Liberals in seeking a similar outlet. Mr. Foster's dealing with the problem was not a solution; It was only a makeshift; lhe problem would bo there again. Sir Wilfrid pointed out that the only effort of Mr. Foster to secure larger markets had been the making of a treaty with the West Indies. "And, horror of horrors," he ejacu lated, "he negotiated his treuty In secret. I am not blaming him for* that. We will judge the treaty when he brings it down. But how he did rail at my friend Mr. Fielding for conducting his negotiations in secret." Mr. Foster's West Indies treaty would not solve the problem. He was ■•(■minded of Beau Brummol, who declared when he was asked If he was a vegetarian, "Yes, I once ate a pea." The preseni government, said Sir Wilfrid, were solving the problem of larger markets to the extent of one pea, "During mil' first session we brought down the British preference, but the Borden government Is content witli one pea. It can destroy but it cannot construct," "I claim in defeat no gratitude from the Liberal party," said Sir Wilfrid. "I have given it my life—and a long life it has been—but whatever measure of success that purty has attained under my leadership I claim neither gratitude nor "merit for. Tho merit was not due to me, but altogether to lhe excellence of the principles we represented anil to the able assistance I have always received from those who were and are still with me. "It has been said that we have come out of the shadow of defeat, perhaps, If I had been as wise a man as I might have been and had followed my own inclinations on the morrow of September 22 lust I should havo gone back into private life and handed over tho reins to a younger and abler man. "I am the servant of the people. And It wus simply owing to the wish of those with whom I was associated that I should continue at the post that I did so—again 1 am the servant of the people. It matters not to me what ls the post assigned to me. I um ready to serve as captain in the forces or as a private ln the ranks and whatever poS> is assigned to me 1 shall in the future, as In the past, give to it lhe best that I have in me. In the words of the Canadian people my orders were not to win or lo lose, but to fight, and fight I will. (Loud cheers.) "Flghtt I will, and so will you—so shall we' nil fight, in tho sense under which fighting is meant under the British constitution; shall fight with malice toward none, with charity toward all, and with firmness toward the right as God gives us to see the right. His White Plumes. "We are met perhaps under the shadow of defeat, but today I come before you and feel as undaunted as ever. 1 asked my friends ia the last contest to follow my white plumes, and never shall they say lhat I showed the white feather. (Loud cheers.) "I have often said that it is our privilege to live under tlie British constitution, undoubtedly the best method devised by man for the government of men. The basis of British government is party government, and it is the spirit of party government as a British institution that there should he un alteration in the administration by the different parlies ia the population. Taken aright parly government maybe the highest profession of public duty. "But party government may become nothing less than a mere scramble for office, and thai is the charge .1 have to make today against the men now In office at Ottawa.

SHAKEUP IN CIVIC DEPARTMENTS RESOLVED TO FIGHT TO FINISH Question of Nonunion Labor Now Divides Parties to Dock Strike. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDON, May 29—The hopes for a speedy settlement of the dock work- slrlke were dissipated tonight by the refusal bf the shipowners to accept the government's Invitation to meet the representative* of the men at a joint conference of the board of trade on Friday next. This decision was reached by tho London ship owners dock labor committee this afternoon and was announced In a letter to Sydney Buxton, president of the board of trade, In which they state they fall to see where any good can arise frum attending such a conference. The letter reads: Last autumn two agreements and an award wero arrived at. nine of tho igreements was directly under the uispices of the ministers of the crown and bore their signatures. The first agreement was Immediately followed by cessation of work; the arbitration award was Ignored, and the final agreement Was only tardily accepted. All of these have now been set aside and the workers called out without any notice to the employers. The shipown- have no confidence and no assiir- i ance that any negotiations that will take place will have any greater reality or be more permanent." Fight to Finish Apparently the ship owners are resolved to fight to a finish relying upon the government to afford protection to whatever workers are employed. This course Is Indicated by a resolution which was adopted at a special meeting of. the London chamber of commerce today in which the rlgh.t of employers to engage either non-union or union labor is affirmed and the government urged to afford adequate protection to all those who arc willing to work. A similar resolution was also adopted by the Corn exchange and the Baltlo Mercantile & Shipping exchange. The main issue now dividing the two parties concerns the status of nonunion labor.* The employers insist that they shall be free to employ whom they please. The strike leaders aro equally determined not to consent to any settlement which will compel the men to work witli non-uninn men. In an interview tonight Chairman Poller of the Shipping Federation said: "AVe are now determined Unit the men shall work on our terms, not we on theirs. All agreements which have been entered Into have heen broken by lhe men; we must now protect ourselves."

MAY 30 Published at Nelson Every Morning Except Sunday, by The News Publishing Company, Limited W. G. FOSTER, Editor and Manager. THURSDAY, MAY 30 c-sf-Hs-s1 i*-'i'> A SLANDER OF CANADA ln another column is printed a letter from one P. Williams, dated from Nelson, B.C., Aiu-ii 3rd, and published In the Dexblll-oii-Sea Observer of May 4th, This letter we submit to the many old country people who havn taken up their home In Canada and particularly throughout British Columbia within the past few years. To those who live in the country and know conditions here Mr. Williams' statements will be taken at their true value, the vaporings of a Slanderer of tho country in which he Is residing, and In which he is making as. good a living as it has ever beer, his luck to enjoy. But to the people in tho Old ^Country the positive statements mnde must necessarily carry some weight, although the gross exaggerations contained therein must heme apparent to nny one on second thought. In the first place it is perhaps not lecessary to refer to William's' statement regarding Canada that "It Is not a place for an Englishman—that Is, if he has heen used to decent surroundings." As Mi*. Williams knows, if he is not entirely lacking in understanding, there are thousands and even hundreds of thousands of Englishmen in Canada, living as well as, and in many cases better than they ever did in their native land. ' They are prosperous, happy and imbued with a love of their adopted country scarcely less strong than their affection for the land of their birth and for the Em- *e as a whole. Perhaps the most extraordinary statement of all the extraordinary statements by Williams is that In reference to "the groat number of asylums there are all over the country full of emigrants who have gone mad un -discovery of the true facts when they reached here." A more absolutely mis-statement than this would be bard lu imagine. It is niulte true that there aro In Canada, as there are in every* other civilized country ia the world, a* number of lunatic asylums. It ts also quite true that there ure in •stern Canada a number of these, three, which hnve been in existence for Beautiful For tinnier Homes With Lake Frontage An unusual ojpportunity for securing two of the best available positions for summer camps on the lake. No. 1 contains 20 acres with creek running through and can be bought at the very low figure $750 No. 2 contains 18 acres and is offered for seven days at the special price of $550 Both lots have 330 feet of lake frontage with sandy beach and the government road to Balfour cuts through property. McQuarrle & Robertson Real Estate and Insurance Ayis, Kootenay Fruit Lands and Investments a Specialty. NELSON, B.C. somo years, one at Selkirk, Manitoba; one at Brandon, Manitoba, and one at Cotiuitlam, British Columbia, while another is in the course of erection at Ponoka, Alberta. These institutions, however, do not contain any larger proportion of the population of Cannd.i lying between the Great Lakes and the Pacific ocean, than do similar Institutions in other modern countries, while tho proportion of recently arrived Old Country emigrants confined within their walls is so small as to be entirely negligible. The Williams' statement that the reason Fnglishmon cannot get on here is because they will not live like pigs, and that If a man gets a job on a farm he is expected to sleep with the horses ami catlle, is simply another falsehood, born of the desire to injure the part of the world which he nt present dishonors with his presence. When ho starts to talk of prices, Williams is most unfortunate In his selection of articles. Ho quotes cents as the price for a 1 lb. jnr of Crosso & Blackweli's jam; 15 cents for a package of Black Cat cigarettes, and IB cents for a 1 lb. loaf of bread. Crosso & Blackwell's jam sells at 25 cents for a 1 lb. Jar, while a 7 lb. can sells for $1.25. The price of bread Instead of being 15 cents for a 1 lb. loaf, is 10 cents for a 1 lb. loaf, two for 15 cents, four for 25 cents, or 16 for $1.00. Advantage of these last prices can bo obtained. through the purchase of tickets, each good for one loaf. On the item of Black Cat cigarettes, which perhaps Is to Mr. Williams the most important, he hit the mark at lfi cents per package, although two packages may be obtained for 25 cents. As to whether n man Is better off In England on 25c a week thnn he Is In Canada on £G per week, there nre thousands of Old Countrymen In this district who would be quite willing to testify. The statement that there are thousands of unemployed here who would be glad of the chance to get home gain, Is as false as it is possible for statement to be. No man who is willing to lake his chances, as any and every man must be In a new country, need be without employment In western Canada, a country undergoing a development such as perhaps has never before been witnessed In any part of the world. In connection with this Williams' matter there is one bright spot, that Is his statement that "I am waiting till I get enough dollars together, then back to England I go." The people of Nelson, as well as those of Canada generally, It may be said, would very much prefer the absence of a man of Mr. Williams' calibre to his presence in the city or country. If all that Is necessary to take him out of Canada Is lhe securing of sufficient dollars to pay his passage home, there will he found many in Nelson witling to contribute their share toward his expenses out of the country. The Daily ^Tews for one would be only too glad to make a substantial contribution to any such fund. While Ihls method of dealing with Mr. Williams Is perhaps the leasi troublesume that could be adopted, there Is open another method that might prove even more efficacious, that is prosecution^for slander; thai might at least have the merit of forcing the offender either to acknowledging the deliberate inaccuracy of his statements, or of punishing him as he leserves to be punished.

In Purls alone there are seven magnificent statues of "Voltaire, as compared wltJi four each of .Richelieu, Victor Hugo and Alfred do Mussel, three each of Moliere, Joan of Arc and GeOrge Sand, and two each of Beethoven annl Chopi". It Is worthy of note that Voltaire, -villi ml "Ih other achievements In the domain of literature, won the originator of the modern mystery or "detective" tale. His novel entitled "Zadlg" was the predecessor of -'Sherlock Holmcs'"aniI the host of other stories of that class, The first steerable Imtloon was tried In llerlln 30 years ago today with considerable success, tout It was disabled liy an accident In the second ex-peri incut.

"Voltaire est mbrtl" was the cry that went up all over France Just 184 years ago toduy, Muy 30, 1778, and the nation was plunged Into sorrow. If the king had died the -populace would have cheered ids successor, but for Voltaire there was no successor. Supreme alike in history, poetry, satire, philosophy, fiction, the drama, he was more than "the greatest literary man of his time, or perhaps of all time," us Victor Hugo called him. He helil a more commanding position in political history than uny other man of letters. After lib* long i-xlle at Ferney, In Switzerland, he returned to Paris In his i-lgihty-firtli year, there to receive a. popular ovation that was without precedent. Then he died, and u funeral pro- oesslop of 100 miles was the tribute of his countrymen. Today Voltaire is still the greatest national hero of a nation The Human Procession Prom out of Africa comes the word that the "Mad Mullah," Mohammed Abdullah, the shepherd Ind who became a prophet and u> leuder, as well as a warrior, Is.preparing to take tbe field In a holy war for the glory of Islam. At one time rumored dead, the "Mad Jluiiaa" is now declared to be very much alive, with all the ferocity of his wild nature flaming In hatred of the Christians who havo sought to replace the Crescent with the Cross In Tripoli. Today Is too thirteenth duy of the month Jomhurdl II, In the year of the Phophet 1330, and the forty-fiflh birthday of Mohammed Abdullah. He who Is now the bead of the fanatical Moslem tribes of eastern Africa wus, in his boyhood, n herder of sheep in tho deserts of 'Somallland. He was an orphan, and for his labor under the tropic sun was ulven a tiny mud cottage In which to sleep, scanty food, and blows. There he might have remained had not a moslem missionary chanced upon him, Finding the lud possessed of a remarkable Intelligence for one of his years and opportunities, tho missionary took him to Herbert!, whero he was taught Arabic, Latin and English, and a smattering of modern arts nnd science. A finished scholar, Mohammed Abdullah returned to tho interior, where he begun to preach a holy war against the Christian tnfldals. Italy and England hud divided Somallland between lliem, and ruled with an Iron hand over the natives. Abdullaih appealed both to religion and patriotism In his harangues before the tribesmen, and It wns not lone- until the "true believers" were excited to p frenzy in their hatred of the Invaders. Open warfare wus not de- ■lared until Mohammed Abdullah had returned from a pilgrimage to Mecca. It was In 1S99. at the head of an army of men as fanatical as himself, that ho nised the .banner of revolt. Calling himself the Mahdl, the "expected one," ne attracted thousands to his standard, while these tribes that held out for fear of t/'ic vengeance of the "infidel" be subdued by force. For months, with truly Fabian tactics, the "Mnd Mullah," as tho English dubbed hlm, refused combat with the British troops. Then came a three-day battlt), In which both Bides suffered heavily, after which the Abdullah resumed ids former tactics. The British gave chase, but the "madman" kept always a little ahead, luring them on, until Illness and thirst and fever forced the English to give up the pursuit. Reinforced, they returned, only lo Im administered u crushing defent hy the Moslems. In 1!K>3 there was another liuttle ahd again the "Mud Mullah" was tho victor. The following year a big force was sent after Abdullah, and the dervishes, realizing tho hopelessness uf conflict, separated and scattered to the four winds. As soon as tlie army wus withdrawn, ihowever, the "Messiah" wus back In the field, ravnglag and slaying, In the end the British abandoned the field, retaining only the town of Bor- bera, and the "Mnd Mullah" wns left in supreme control of the interior, the real king of the Somalls. A scholar as well as a fighter and a fanatic, Mo- hnmmcd Abdullnli is a lover of poetry, nnd his favorite verse is this, from the Moslem war-song; "A sabre on a -blood-red field—our ban- famed behold! Fear In our country dwellcth not, ln mountain or In wold; In every corner of our land crouchctli a Hen bold. 'God Is Most Great!' we shout In rush and charge on field of fight; We're Ottomans! our lives we give', our gain is glory bright." The Weather (By Dally News Leased Wire.)

Sir: Would you be good enough to allow me sufficient space In your valuable paper to bring to the attention of the citizens of Nelson, particularly the parents, a matter that seriously affects the health of the community? I refer to a disease that is very prevalent in the city and which seems to be a cross between German measles and scarlet fever, but In some cases being straight German measles and ln other cases genuine scarlet fever. At the present time we are undergoing the 'nconvenlences of -quarantine owing to our little girl having scarlet fever. We attribute the cause to the fact lhat a little boy In her class at school, who had had the so-called German measles and returned to school as soon as he was well enough to do so. was found to have, by the health inspector, the almost Invariable sign of scarlet fever, namely, desquamation or the flaking off of the skin. Another hoy was found playing with little ones whose Bkln was coming off in flakes an inch long. Now, no blame can be attached to the health inspeetor either of the school or city, for they can only deal iVlth those caseB that come to their nltentlon, nnd with those they deal promptly.

NELSON OVERRUN WITH SCUM OF ALL NATIONS Slanderous Statements Published in English Paper From Resident of Nelson—Is Going Back Dated from Nelson, the following letter signed F. Williams, appeared in the Bexhlll (England) Observer: To the Editor of The Bexhlll Observer: Sir—Having seen by your paper that there Is a bit of an argument going on in your town over this country, I should like to have a sny In the matter. First of all I agree with what Mr. G. W. Rolfe says about it. It Is not a place for an Englishman—that Is, If he has been used to decent surroundings'. This place is overrun with the scum of all nations—Russians, Norwegians, Swedes, Chinese and Japs who undersell the white man In the labor market and who live In filthy surroundings. Canada boasts of having no workhouses, It Is true, but they do not tell you of the great number of asylums there are all over the country, full of emigrants who have gone mad discovering the true facts when they reach here. I should like "One Who Knows" to havo a go at It here. He would soon take his return ticket; that is if he had money enough loft. Canada Is nil very well when studied from the depths of an arm chair, but It is nothing to the real thin*,;. I am waiting till I get enough dollars together, then' back to England I come. The reason that Englishmen cannot get on hero Is because they will nol live like pigs. If a man gets a job on a farm he Is expected to sleep with the horses or cattle; it Is only the 'Dagoes" that will do It. Has "One Who Knows" ever heard of the tramway here in Nelson'.'—two rusty lines tanding about 18 Inches up from the road, with planks put down every now and then to allow other traffic to pass from one side of the road to the other. Then how would he like the prices thai ho would be charged here?—30 cents for a jur (1 lb.) of Crosse & Black- well's jam, lfi cenls for a packet of 10 Black Cat cigarettes, and 15 cenls for a 1 lb. loaf of bread the latter purchas ed at Moose Jaw right ln the heart of the wheat growing district. A man is better off In England with 25s a week than ho Is here with £5 a week. There are thousands of unemployed here who would be glad of the chance of getting homo again, and they aro not afraid of work, whether it is spelt with a capital W or a small one. I should like to insert this In your paper, so as to put the facts before your readers, for I consider that "One Who Knows" but who has never been here, should get a bit further from the "apron strings" than he Is at present before he starts to criticize other people who have had practical experience I shall look forward to your paper to seo if this appears. I was shown your paper by a friend who hns It sent from homo regularly. Apologizing for troubling you. Yours truly, F. WILLIAMS. Box 404, NelBon, B.C., April 3.

We have heard in tho past of men riveted, boiled and burred tt, principles, Mr. Monk Is mn one of that class, It is'only a year ur so ago that Mr, Monk was before the people of this province, giving an example to its young men, when they were told he was the one man of all others in tho representation of the province at Ottawa who could be depended upon a,t all times to stand by his principles and trusted. He wus tried und found instead of adamant to bo of the softest clay. Question of Reciprocity. 'A fow months ago I appealed to the people of the country on lhe question of reciprocity. In this province at all events, It was not the ciuestlon oE reciprocity which was ;'uppermost in discussion. There were other Issues which had perhaps no cause to be brought 'up, but which* were introduced. U we were defeated It was not upon the main issue which was submitted to the country as far us this province was concerned and perhaps In Ontario also. We were , defeated by thn-; most heterogeneous comblna tion of elements which hind together people for destruction but which would not hold together for construction. (Applause.) "Wc had against us the Conservative party led by Mr. Borden, which .was natural. Then wc had against us another wing led by Mr, Monk, and tho Nationalists led by Mr. Bourassa. We had against us tho Jingoes led by I don't know who, and If we can believe the words of Mr. Burnham, tho No Temere decree bad no small pari In our defeat." Old Arguments Sir Wilfrid then launched Into a long ..'view of the reciprocity negotiations conducted by his government and gave ., resume of practically all the arguments that woro heard so frequently during lhe last federal campaign. The declaration that the Conservative party had always beon ln favor of reciprocity and had been unable to attain it nnd had only opposed lt when the Liberals secured an agreement was made again and again. "ll is an open secret which everybody at Ottawa knows," declared Mir WUfrid, "that In the caucuses held by the Conservative parly to ri.scer.taln whether or not,the convention would be accepted there was a great searcl Ing o£ hearts before they finally d*. elded to oppose the treaty. But when it was finally ascertained that Mr. Slfton and a few other of llie Con- rvutlve-Liberal members from Toronto wero opposed tu that treaty, from that day the Conservative party manic up Us mind to oppose the agreement and the party tl"'lu'd i*8 complete ii somersault as, was ever scon ,i EarnunYs circus. . '.'That was tin? attitude of the regular Conservative party headed by Mr. Borden. What was the attitude of the dissentient Conservatives headed by Mr. Monk? You people of Quebec province know that during the last election campaign the niuestlon ot reciprocity was nut discussed by the followers of Mr. Monk. They wore concerned specially with the naval question and ihe Manitoba school ciuestions which we supposed had been settled 12 or lfi years ago, so far a" lhe federal government was con corned. But thoy said that the Laurier-Groonway settlement was no settlement, but that If they went hack lo power there would be a real seltle- mi'iil of the <iuostion. "You heard also their pleadings to the people that If only the Laurier government was defeated the naval- law could be wiped off thu statute books. That was the attitude of Mr. Monk and his dissentient Conserva- ■MSClaryS,' ffootennw Made especially to burn B. C. Fuel Repairs when noecessary always in stock at Vancouver.

Mr. Taft in lhat letter only repeated wh had been said by-the Canadian jhi jgocs and admitted ho had be; both the idea and expression from ill Canadian Tories. 'I want to dlscusse that question In my position under heaven, because I ant satisfied notwithstanding that let- that we were in tlie right. In that letter Taft candidly admits the arguments of the Canadian Tories and he. evidently thought that It the Canadian people cniuld use such appeals to passions and prejudice of the Canadian people against reciprocity ii might also appeal lo the passions and prejudices of the American people in favor o: clproolty on both sides of Hit- line, j feelings which politicians nut ac- ifenl by the highest motives will appeal lo." Thinks Taft Wrong .... Wilfrid said that while in llm United Stales he had refused lu ''X- press any opinion as lo tho Taft let "But now," he suid, "for my par I wish to say that I am siirprlsedniia ... .... if the eminence of Mr. Taf | should ' borrow such shallow rhetor! from tho Canadian jingoes.

Spending Money itinulng Sir Wilfrid said that it might well bo that tho Borden government was too busy titherwise. ll was busy spending money. "It reminds mo of a young rako who has unexpectedly fallen heir to a large estate Inng administered by careful hands, and, dazed and bewildered by his sudden'fori une, buries his bunds deep in the treasury scaltoring it with riotous extravagance to make up for the Ion;; period uf forced abstemiousness." When tho government was not Spending money it was making dismissals ami appointments. Office holders hail descended upon it thick us locusts In Bgypt. The other day Mr. Poster surrounded, beset, buttonholed and suffocating uttered the cry of despair "This is a damnable system." "It is when it Is I damnably administered," .added Sir Wilfrid amid laughter. Naval Question Tho Liberal chief then turned hi attention to tlie naval -question. TT traced the history of It from Us [ncep tlon and directed attention to tho dl verse positions of Messrs. Borden and Monk upon it- Although thoy both differed they combined in assuring the electorate tti.it. if they were returned tu power they would repeal it right away. But they had done nothing yet. On behalf of himself and the Liberal parly he declared adhesion to Jlhe Laurier naval policy. Nothina New Sir Wilfrid referred to the famous Tuft letter to Roosevelt regarding reciprocity in which he said he looked upon reciprocity ns lending to make Canada an adjunct pf the United Slates.

BUTTE, Mont., May 29.—"The 'thing lhat has attracted my attention moro than anything else connected with the cupper industry of late is the state- incut In many of the eastern nowspa- ibal copper is being stored and manipulated by ihe producer*) in order io force the price fictitiously high," ■aid George L, Walker, the Boston authority on copper, who has been in lie cily for tho past two weeks. "Dur- ng my visit iff tho past few months to he plants of the great copper produc- ■rs of Um country I have not found u iiiund of copper lhat is being held. At he present time the producers arc axed almost to their full capacity to keep up w.ih the dcmanil, and I am Main Hint the 'consumption today cully exceeds tile production. Uses Expanding. "The production of copper for Hie xt year will exceed the production ol nt year by more than 150,000,000 pounds, but the commercial uses of the metal have so expanded that mure than this increase In production will be necessary lo meet the demand. The coming year will witness a great expansion In the electrification of railroads, for instance, and the uses of electricity In the way of greater illumination and electric signs "will be broader than ever In the history ol the country, Our foreign demand for copper Is steadily increasing, and unless somelh'ng unforsecn happens I anticipate n greater general use of copper in manufacturing and urts than ever before. Prico High Enough. "Compared with the advance In lhe price of other commodities, due to the general increase in wages and the tn- crensed production of gnild, 16 or 17 cents is nol lob high for copper, but same time It Is a price which llie producer a goonl margin of I would not l.ke to see it ad- over 17 cents,'but I fear that it I believe that tin effort will be by the more conservative producers lo hold It down to that figure. Copper is different from wheat, corn or cotton, and its advance Is noL governed by the same principle of supply and demand. There may be several construction companies, for lust a nee, which have been given a contract re- -1uirlng a certain amount of copper, Thn-y go to lhe selling agencies or the producer and find thill there is just enough copper on hand to satisfy one if the contracts. The contractors bid up the copper and the highest bidder gets it. Everyone of the contractors could be supplied from the normal production In the very near future, bul Ih-'y are nol content to wait. Thus It Ib seen that lhe demand ln this In- Btaheo is nit abnormally greater than lhe supply. Foreign Buyers. "The average price of copper during the past seven or eight years has been hetween 14 and 15 cents a pound, based PLAN DEVELOPMENT OF BAYONNE CLAIMS William Maher and James McKiernan of Vancouver and Alex Stewart of Nelson to Make Inspection.

When Postum Is well mnde nnd served with cream, It is really better in point of flavor than most of the -coffee' served nowadays. To ihe taste of tlio connoisseur it Is very like the flavor of fine, mild Java. A great transformation takes place In tho body within ton days or two weeks after the tea or coffee ts loft off and Postum used. The reason is that tho poison to the nerves—caffeine—has been tli scon tinned and In its place Is taken a liquid .food that contains the most powerful elements of nourishment.
