LONDON, .'ffluly 31.—Following his •letter to the /Times giving his views nsNto what saould be done by Britons to win tbe next Olympic games Sir ArlhuXConan/ Doyle returned to the subject last,'] night in an interview. "We must make new arrangements for Berlin and Must adopt business-like inethodB. It lis impossible to allow things to go on, as at present, although I do not wish to pose for a moment as an authority on the matter. 1 would like to offer a few suggestions. "I would' likei-to suggest, for Instance, that a British empire team, including all the colonies and dependencies of the empire, be got together for tbe next games. Jn this way Australia, India, South Africa and any other place might run Its own team, but if it won a point it would be scored for the* Union Jack. I would also include representatives of the dark races In the empire team. It is unfair to allow them to represent the empiro on the battle field and not in sport. The work of organization should commence at once. Professional coaches should be appointed Immediately, such _as Alec Nelson, who has reputation 'behind him, although I would have no objection of our going to America, or any other country, providing we could get men who could teach us something. I might mention that I have a nephew, quite a youth, who has already thrown a cricket ball nearly 100 yards. I am going to give lilm a chance with the discus nnd javelin, allowing him to practice in a field at my place." COAST LEAGUE Vernon, 0-8-1; San" Francisco, 4- 11-2.

Jones and Gar- vey expressed surprise when told that the Vancouver club bud decided to ad- hero to tbe old schedule, which would be tantamount to a surrender to the New Westminster club. "Under no circumstances would I consent to that arrangement," said Mr. Jones. "It would be Vancouver's oblt- ,pnrj£asj!ar ns'laQEpsse wa,si!concerned."

THURSDAY ....AUGUST 1 Ctjt Satlp JJem Publishsd at Nolson Every Morning Except Sunday, by Tho News Publishing Company, Limited. W. G, FOSTER, Editor and Manager. THURSDAY, AUGUST 1 PUNISH THE GUILTY ONE. in this morning's issue ot Th Dally Nows is published il lelter from Aid. 1. A. Austin In which ho says that the report of Monday night' council mooting, which appeared in Tuesday's paper, was not a con ono, and he adds "I think Intentionally so." ' ••'■i.'\3\ This refers presumably to a paragraph in that report which read as follows: Aid. Austin in opposition to the {gual bylaw, when it came before the council for second reading, declared that somo people were on the petition asking the eily fathers to submit a bylaw who had not put their names on. The names wore there without their consent, he asserted. Mr. Austin iu order to convey the Impression that he has been misquoted advises Mr. Roberts, who took Issue wilh certain of his statements In a letter published" In Wednesday's issue of Thc Dally News, to go to city hall and no doubt the eily clerk will allow him lo read the* report from the minute books AND TUB CLERIC'S IMPORTS ARE IN THE MAIN CORRECT. Now in the first place the Dally Nows begs to say that Aid. Austin was correctly reported lu this respect In Its Tuesday's issue In respect to this matter. Tho Daily News makes this statement after a careful Inquiry as to what look place at the meeting in question. Not only did Aid. Austin mako the statements credited lo lilm, but bc reiterated them so that there might be no possibility of anyone mistating his words. If he is now ashamed of these statements or is afraid to stand by them he is not going to make The Daily News his scapegoat. He must cither stand by what he said or ho should make a manly retraction. Falling cither of theso be must stand self-convicted ot having'given voice to a charge which he cannot back up, and ot trying to unload the responsibility upon othor shoulders. In passing, it may be said that the charge which Aid. Austin mado on Monday evening is most serious, and one which, if there Is anything to it. should be probed to the bottom, and that with the least possible delay. As to the Insinuation that the report of council meeting which appeared In The Daily News was "intentionally" Incorrect, this is disposed of by th'' fact lhat tho report was a correct one. In this connection, it may be remarked that.judging by tho stand Which Aid. Austin takes in his letter ho has no license lo accuse anyone of being "intentionally" incorrect. Tlie attitude of Aid. Austin in Ibis respect Is well illustrated hy his suggestion to Mr. Roberts, quoted above, that he. should go to city hall and there examine tlie minute books to find out what he had said at the council meeting in question. Now, A.!d. Austin knows, as well as he knows anything, that thc city clerk does not take a report of the speeehes or remarks of the mayor or aldermen at meetings of the council. Tie merely keeps a record of the business transacted. The orations of the civic fathers are either wasted Upon the walls In Our Office ■Emmi We buy, sell or exchange real estate and transact a regular renting and collecting business.

Dally News. But It will he noted that not only does Aid. Austin intimate that his remarks upon the gas bylaw are on record In the minute books, but he volunteers thc information that "the clerk's reports are in the main correct." Apparently il would, In Aid. Austin's opinion, be Impossible for any -report to be exactly accurate, but ho gives thc city clerk a partial certificate of character in this respect. In conclusion Tho Daily News desires to say lhat it would bo quite prepared to allow Aid. Austin and Mr. Roberts to fight this matter out between themselves. Rut Aid. Austin. In relying to Mr. Roberts, bus made a serious charge against The Dally News and hns, In addition, made a suggestion that there has been what amounts to forgery In the preparation of nn Important petition on the strength of which a bylaw is to be submitted to tho people of Nelson shortly. The Dally News Is prepared to leave the charge against It to the public to decide in their own minds, but in tho public interest Aid. Austin must como forward and let the people know what names have been attached to tho petition In question without their owners' consent. Who nre those people, Aid. Austin, with whoso names such liberty has been taken as In amount to forgery? Tho guilty man should ho punished. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Mr. Pallls' opinion ot the Kootenay, therefore, combines that of a traveller In many lands, with' the wide-angled vision and comprehensive oulluuk of a Canadian who has kept his business abreast of the conditions produced by the most rapid development going forward on any part of this planet. "f am especially Interested in the Kootenay country," said Mr. Pallts, "as to il our business looks In large measure for its supply of pig lead, a product of whicii we use an enormous tonnage every year in our corroding works.

''Your apples compare with the best I have tasted in nny part of the world and arc well known In us Winnipogers, nd your cherries 1 am bound to say re without a rival, and since this, my second visit here, I am determined lo possess a cherry farm at Knslo. "I find a most optimistic reeling pervading southern British Columbia and nowhere do I find that Industrious contentment, which is the foundation of agricultural wealth, resting on a more secure basis than along this valley.

(By Pally News Leased Wire.) LONDON, July 31.—ThO parliamentary debates last week on international toll tics created alarm, but there is a jelter feeling this week. German news- paper comment is now moro moderate. The belief In lhc eily is that tlio riKLHeollor of the exchequer, Lloyd George, is anxious ot do something to reassure the public. It is reported that the chancellor Is consulting with iead- ng men as to t'ne best steps to lake. The selling of consols lias unite ceased and there is a more cheerful feeling. Tlie slock exchange is slill nervous, but bankers arc reassured. The most im porta nl city leaders are la king ti ore hopeful view. Tho later railway vidends announcement are much Her than the earlier ones, thus caus- g an improved feeling on llie stuck exchange. For all that, operators arc Ions. Rumors concerning a scheme of land luxation persist. These, prole lily are much exaggerated. Still, fears xist. In spite of nil, trade continues .onderfully good, especially in Seot- md and the north and middle of Mug- land. It is hoped that the dock strike has at last ended. Some muii are holding oul, but Ibe general impics- i Is that all will return to work. Tlie defeat of tins strike is expected to step further labor disputes. The leaders' of the men are discredited and the men are greatly disheartened. The Bank of England is growing rapidly stronger, .over £1,100,000 in gold was offered yesterday lu the open nnrket and It Is expected Ibat thc tank will got nearly a million. Tlie lank has complete control uf tho out- dde market. Despite rumors, it is not ikely that the bank rate will bo put ip. • The German and Austro-Hiuigar- an banks are unable lo compete for gold in London, Monsoon news from India is satisfactory. Latest reports only stato lhat few Small districts are in danger. Moderate rains continue over Australia, so that all fears of a drought have been dissipated. Sentiment us a whole ia hopeful.

WOULD NAME BOAT CITY OF NELSON This is Suggestion by G. A. Hunter Regarding New C. P. R. Steamer Under Construction. Now Is the time, snys OrA. Hunter for lho people of Nelson to get busy and start a'movement in an endeavor to have the new Canadian Pacific steamer for Kootnay lake called the "City of Nelson or some such appropriate name. Several years ago when tlie steamer Kuskanook was being built a like ablation was started, and an endeavor made to bring tho request properly before tho C. P. R. officials, but the movement was started ton Sate and the new boat was named before the petition was able to he considered by the proper authorities. This time, however, Mr. Hunter says there Is plenty of time to draw the attention of the C. P. R. to Nelson's desire ami should the movement lie conducted in the proper way, the citizens of Nelson should he able to have the new boat christened an appropriate name, more so now than ever, since thc only boat, of that mime on the lake is the old worn out passenger boat of pioneer days, whicii has long ago been discarded.

It is understood lhal dur- :tg Ibe last three weeks the angle irons i:iid plates for the ships hnve been received from England, "Tlie Importance of this information consists In the fuel that in tho' event of Germany forcing the pace either for herself or for the other members of ibe triple alliance, a frosh battle squadron of nine hattleships could be ready wllijin a year, or at most is months, It is understood that thc action which has been taken is n reply to Right lion. Winston C'hiircbiirs speeches on his accession to office. "An addition of nine battleships to Ihe German fleet In 101-1 would place this Country in the gravest peril with whieh it has ever been faced. "Mr. Churchill, in the house of commons a few months ago, laid it down that the absolute minimum of safety was tho maintenance of u 00 per cent margin ut superiority. In bntttesliips over Germany. In the house of commons 10 days figo he said nf the end of 1014 wc would hnve u minimum of 33 and n maximum of 11 battleships fully manned and in full commission, against 20 of Germany's. Mr. Churchill added that 33 to 20 does not, perhaps, sound a very satisfactory proportion. Tl Is certainly not an excessive proportion, but tt Is Impossible to settle this question merely on numbers'. "If nine new ships were added lo the German fleet, the comparison for 101-1 would stand as follows: "Germany, 3.S; Great I'.ritu mum 33, maximum 41. ■es tell their own .'dory."
