To Be Biggest and Best Ever Held in Nelson SPLENDID LIST OF ATTRACTIONS Fete de Nuit on Water Wil! Bring Program of Sports to End three Sites Now For Hazleton Station i (By Dally News Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, June 5—Some further on- 'htenlng Information Into townslto [atlon wns afforded todny at the ring of the Hazeiton, B.C' townslto e before the railway commission. ■ first witness was \V. P. Murray, resenting the Old Hazeiton board tndc and the second Harold ■Prlo>, q f'Cther complicate I the caso by Ing still a third site for the much Ired Grand Trunk Pacific station, iir, Murray testified that he had' led as sub.-ngent for tho G.T.P. in Ing South Hazeiton lots nnd gave ie Information In regard to the size old Hazeiton lots and gave some l ormatlon ln regard to the size of I Hazeiton which had a population some 500. He wns examined by Mr. iltlit? as to the methods used In sell- South Hazeiton lots, testifying he I told his partner the decision of the ■■ernor fn council, to whom the first ■Ision of the board was referred, aid be absolutely certain to fivor ith Hazeiton. Ir. Lucas acting for Old H.v-elton. mined the witness In regard to his ■■wlnjdge of the supposedly represen- |ye residents of that place who had !ed a petition to the Gr.in.l I'niik I fie asking for a station a; S mth elton. Many of the names Mr, •rpy did not know. inrold Price, called hy Mr. Hogg, ,'., gave nrgumentu In favor of hit] h being chosen for a station sUe. about midway between South nnd \t Hazeiton. He claimed that'll was it conveniently situated fur the .Jitlon of a high level bridge across Bulkley r|ver. The New Hazeiton on the other han.1, prior to tho rd's order establish .ig a Bullion re. hud neon generally regarded i Joke. At the afternoon sitting of board Mr. Price submitted a tele- in containing the names of 24 men i had signed a petition In favor of location as a station, The petition had not yet arrived. It was prepared by him. Mr. lilggnr, G.T.P. counsel, asked whether his property had been submitted to tlie British Columbia government and the Grand Trunk Pacific. The witness said he did not know. C. J. R. Bethune Introduced another feature by submitting a petition headed b.v dipt. McOroskey and many others, claiming consideration for lots 103 and '42 near the Price property. This property was sub-dlvlded 11 years ago. The petition claimed that this location would be the closest to the Old Hazeiton property. Mr. Cauchon, a civil engineer of Ottawa, guve evidence to the effect thai It would cost $223,000 to build a high level bridge at New Hazeiton while one could be built on the price property for $8Q,000 at South Hazeiton despite the difficulties. Mr. Afleck, the last witness called In behalf of the claims of New Hazeiton, controverted Engineer Cuuchon's statement that a bridge coud be built on the Price property for $60,001. No allowance had been made, he said, for necessary falsework. Newton Rowell, counsel, addressing tho court said it was assumed hy the Methodist mission that tho G.T.P. would not put a station at South Hazeiton unless they considered lt n proper place. The mission had no interest In the matter ns a townsite dispute and had no objection to a station being located at New Hazeiton. Mr. Ron-ell said that white the mission properly would Increase ln vaue If a station were built on it, that was not the mnin consideration. It was a case In which the majority of the public, would be best served if the board did not step In and prevent South Hazel- ton having a station. The Methodist church had no selfish purpose to serve In desiring a station at South Hazel- ton. It would be n convenience and Increase the value of the property hut no individual would be benefit. Other counsel will be heard Thursday, Probably never before in Nelson was tho Initial meeting to make arrange ments for a Dominion day celebration been held under happier circumstances or given better promise of a success' ful culmination on the First of July when the program of attractions which Is planned will commence. About 40 wernj In attendance nnd practically all the various sports which flourish in Nelson wero represented by strong delegations and an enthusiastic determination to havo "something doing every minute" and to provide a list of events which will convince visitors that they have been present at the most enjoyable celebration ever held In Kootenays was much In evidence.

Tagalie, Johnny Reff up, won by four lengths. The King's horse Pintadeau was fourth. , j , Won in Canter. (Canadian Associated Press.) EPSOM, England, June 6.—The Derby stakes of (i,ii00 sovereigns for 3-year-old colls and fillies, about one mile unnl a half, was won today by W. Raphael's grey filly Tagalie, who started at 100 to 8 L. Neuman's Jaeger, 8 to 1, was second. A. Belmont's Tracery, Oil to 1, third, and his majesty's Pintadeau, 100 to 8, fourth. The field itumered 22 and the also runs, Including the favorite Sweeper II, who started at 2 to 1; Catmint and Mordred at 100 to 7, White Star at 100 to 1, and Aleppo, Chilly October, Bryn Mawyr, Cylba, Farmun, Hall Cross, Javelin, Jinllng Geordie, Koscluske, Lorrenzo, Orchestrion, Royal Mall and Wise Macun. Two furlongs from home Tagalie went to the frunt and won ln a canter by four lengths Two lengths se rated second and third. Tagalie was comparatively unknown until starting at 20 to 1 she won the One Thousand Guineas with ease. With the exception of Signorietta in 1908, a filly has not Won the Derby since Shotover In 1892. Tagalie, who is trained by Daw. son Waugh, is an odds-on favorite for the Oaks run on Friday. She Is also engaged in the St Leger. Heath Thronged. The crowd tit lhe historic downs wa: quite up to the usual Derby duy, de spile the threatening weather. King George, Queen Mary and the royal party were early arrivals and received a great reception. They stayed until the last race The stands were crowded with society folk und the heath was thronged with tens of thousands holiday makers. lt was Taga lie's race frum start to finish, ridden with consummate judgment by Johnny Reiff, who jumped off fn the lead followed by Orchestrion, ridden by another American, Milton Henry, with White Star and Javelin; Pintadeau, the King's entry; Sweeper ll, the American favorite, and two others some distance behind, H. B, Duryea's horse, the choice of lhe talent, never showed to advantage. Rounding Tattenham corner, Tagalie led by half a length with the field In much the same order as they got away. Two furlongs from home tin filly, still travelling in splendid form had the race at her mercy, August lii-lmonl's Tracery came through with a rush but Tagalie made lhe remainder of the running and won In a canter. Sweeper Is Disappointment. The display made by Sweeper 11 was most disappointing, but Mr. Duryea, while naturally disappointed, had no excuses ito offer. The horse and Jockey had dune their best. "I was never so disappointed in my life," said Danny Malic:-. "1 looked upon the race as a certainty. I got Sweeper II In a good position but when it came lo a pinch 1 could not got him to move. He was nol in his usual form und seemed a different horse." The only consolation for the Americans, of whom many were on hand was the third place won by Mr. Belmont's entry and which was obtained only after a sharp tussle with Pintadeau, who fought every foot of the final stretch. All England Festive. LONDON, June 5.—The Dully Mail asks: "Why is this year's Derby exciting Interest more than ordinarily keen and general?" and unswers the question thus: "Ono reason for tbe special Interest which has been aroused is perhaps that the community of appeal comes as a pleasant relief from the spirit of class antagonism that has crept Into polities and business of the times- Derby day Is all- England's festival, lo which all, rich and poor, employer and employe, can look forward with tbe same delight. In these days the well dispositional citizen feels grateful for the opportunity for taking part in any great gathering that does not excite jealousies and hostilities. There will he no labor troubles at Epsom Downs, though there will be n greater assemblage of the/ working people of London than any labor demonstration ever attracted."

GILLIES DEPOT, Out., June 5— Over $150,000 damage has been done by fire which Is still raging in Cobalt although the combined fire departments of Cobalt, Halleybury and New Lls- keard are fighting the flames. Tho flro started in the Lyric theatre during a performance by an explosion of nn oil stove used by an actor In his dressing room, The theatre wns emptied without disorder. Twelve lines of hose were laid but despite excellent pressure tbe fire gained head- wny and soon Milton Carr's dry goods storo nearby was a muss of flames. It seemed Impossible to check the flames but through strenuous efforts the Hank of Commerce building escaped with a scorching. With the collapse of the hotel tbo flames leaped to the Cobalt hotel and thence across the street to Harrington's hotel. Harrington's restaurant, the Galoska block and the Mooro block at the rear of the hotel also burned. By 11:30 tho Halleybury brigade arrived, followed soon after by the New Liskeard engine and hose company. At midnight the town hall, the Bank of Commerce and the Niplssing storo block seemed In great danger. It took almost superhuman efforts to save tbe Hunter block opposite the theatre as the safety of the remainder of the business section depended on t his. Several firemen were overcome by Smoke. Two women were taken to the hospital suffering from shock. Many volunteer firemen were scorched on the faco nnd hands. An actress lost $1,000 and effects.

Building Life Rafts For White Star Line (By Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDON, June 6.—Several hundred women of the fashionable set leaned over the galleries iu llie Armory where lho Titanic inquiry is dragging out Its weary length, to hear the continuation today of J. Bruce Ismay's slury of the wreck. They saw rather than heard, for the replies made by the president of lhe International Mercantile Marine company were of the briefest nature consisting for the most part of the words "1 don't know" or "That is outside my province." Just before Mr. Ismay left the stand there was a dramatic passage when Sir Rufus Isaacs, tbe attorney general, reverted to a point which perhaps has been lhe most discussed of any detai' of the disaster—Mr. Ismay's personal conduct. "When the last boat left tht Titanic —the one in which you had a place— you must have known that passengers were left on board," snid the attorney general. "I did," said Mr. Ismay, "Where were those passengers when your boat lefit?" "I can only assume that they had gone to the after part of the ship. I really was not thinking about that." Seamen Unobtainable. Harold A. Sanderson, a director of the White Star line, made the remarkable statement on the stand that If lhe inniulry resulted In a decision to forni- uate regulations requiring nil steamship companies to man their boats efficiently with able-bodied seamen, "those seamen do not exist in the country." Mr. Sanderson added lhe further information that "there would not be sufficient men qualified for the purpose." He said that lt would bo Impracticable for such a ship as the Titanic to carry boats to ntrcommudate all persons. lie thought that even In mal tine weather they would be un derlain sonie- 1 until seaworthy witli Go persons; 40 would be as many as they could safely carry. In rough weather it Would often be Impossible to launch the boats tit all. Commanders arc never ordered to make the passage within time, continued the wltnei times Ihey were tod not to a certain time. Lord Mersey: "I have been told that the Atlantic liners pay no attention to fog. but steam just ;ts quickly through it.'' Mr. Sanderson, sharply: "Any man who told you that was a very Ignorant or a very vicious man. It is absolutely untrue." Building Life Rafts. Mr, Sanderson salnl thai lho company was building life rafts—flat ones resting on tanks—-With life lines which might be slowed In nests, He thought that flvo seamen for each lifeboat would be sufficient. "When the question of musters was raised, Mr, Sanderson made another sensational statement: "We have experienced great nlU'l'IeuKy in carrying out musters," he said. "First, because we have so many passengers thai many of tho crew cannot be spared from their posts." He went on to say that part of the crew of the respective ships were so unwilling at limes that they i*efused duty on the voyage. "I nm speaking particularly of the firemen," explained the witness. "Tbe first Instance occurred on ti. voyage of the Oceanic to New York, when the firemen refused muster duty. Captain Haddock logged the men for disobedience. There was such friction that tbe company modified Hs orders to permit muster at New York Insti-nd of during the voyage. There hav been two other cases since." ^^i* CDe "Batij? j-ieuis.

The city is for tunate in possessing a power plant of Its own whicli is capable of supplying nil tho power necessary for lighting the streets, It hns only lo make use of the current available. In spite of thfi Nelson has continued 'to enjoy thi reputation nf having the most antiquated system of -street lighting to be found anywhere in western Canada in any city approaching it in size or importance. Tho only objection that can lie urged against the council's proposal and The Dally News believes tliat there are few if any, property owners along liaker slreet who would offer it, is that the proposed new lighting system should be paid for out of general revenue Instead of being installed as a work of local Improvement as proposed. What ever objection there may ho on (his score at the present time would speedily he forgotten once this new lights wero installed and in operation. The Improvement It would be to the street, and indirectly to every business house along the street! would many limes repay each year the annual levy to meet the cost of installation.

LONDON, June 5.—One hundred and sixty delegates, representing 37 countries, attended tho opening meeting yesterday of the second International radio-telegraph conven tion, which was held at the headquarters of the institute of electrical engineers. The convention is remarkably strong as regards tlio ago unnl experience of the delegates. As a rule they are leading administrators of technical experts representing the world's postal authorities and telegraph and cable systems.

There will be a reception hy tho King at Buckingham puluee next Monday, at which tho entire delegation will be presented, There .tppears to be a remarkable feeling of umlty among tlie delegates nnd It Is hoped that amendments will he made to tho Berlin convention wlilch will meet with general approval.

COUNSEL CLASH IN DARROW CASE Cheque "for Ten Thousand Dollars Cancelled the Day McNamaras Pleaded Guilty. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 5.- Clashcs between counsel which result- etl In fines for contempt of court and indications of federal co-operation with the state in the case overshadowed the scant testimony heard today im the trial of Clarence Durro for nllcged jury bribing. The name of Olaf Tvletmoe, the San Francisco labor leader, was brought Inlo the case, although the connection of Tveitmoe was only that of an en dorser of a $10,000 chen-ue sent by Frank Morrison of tbe American Fed eration of Labor, to Darrow, which was read into tho record. The chen-ue, which was cashed in Sum Francisco, was said by the prosecution to be one of the most important links in its cuse ugainst Darrow, as It tended to prove that the currency received from this cheque wai used us a corruption fund fur the Mc Namara jurors. District Attorney Fredericks and Horace Appell, associate counsel for the defense, Indulged in an aerimoni ous controversy and were fined $1.5 and $5 respectively by Judge Hutton, A remark to Darrow by the district attorney, who later designated it as "pleasantry," precipitated the clash. The apparent Interest of tlie federal government in the case was Indicated by the IntroducUnm of evidence said to have heen turned over to tlie dis trict attorney by tre department of justice. This Included the book of cancelled cheques oniglnally drawn upon tho McNamara defense fund by Frank Morrison la favor of Clarence Darrow. Tho book was taken before the federal grand jury at Indianapolis by Morrison when he was subpoenaed early this year to tostify in the dynamite investigiition which resulted ii tbo indictment of nearly three s> of labor leaders. The apparent cooperation between the government and state wus shown further when H. H, Flather, cashier of a Washington (D. C.) bank, which had on deposit the McNamara defense fund, testified on cross-examination that he wus first asked about testifying at the trial by um official of the nlepartment of justice in Washington. Mr. Flather was the only witness today and when his tes t.mony had been concluded he was served with a subpoena by the nle- fensc. The prosecution had asked lhat tlio witness be allowed to return to Washington but llie defense objected a.nd opposing counsel could not agree upon a stipulation which would permit .Mr. Flathor'a departure. A considerable portion of the day*! session was devoted by the prosecution to reading into the record all of Uie cheeks sent to Darrow hy Morrison, Tbe aggregate amount of the cheques was $210,000, all except one of which was apparently received by the then chief counsel for the McNamara nle Censo. This exception was for $10,000 and it was drawiuand -subsequently cancelled on December 1, the day upon which the McNamara brothers pleaded guilty. _.
