Jan. i4.—The naval de- ate was resumed today upon the re- isembling of parliament. Ml\ Violet squith, daughter of the British prime ilolster, was ln the speaker's gallery nd Hon. James buff, minister of ag- icultur^ for Ontario, occupied a seat ii the floor of tl^e- house. HUgh uthrie, the Liberal member for South Velllngton, opened the discussion by i presentation of the case against the Ifivernment. He quoted Mr. Asquitfi i show the overwhelming superiority If Britain upon the sea and from Vlijston Churchill to prove that the Imperial government desired the Dominion to' establish local -avles instead of contributing to the fleet of Im North sea. He disclaimed any de-. ' s to talk party politics and proposed fet the fcbverninent and the opposl ia get together and agree upon a pval policy. Britain, he said, wished flwral' support of Canada above K'erythilig else and that would be behind lf it went known that the vote of JbMoo.OOO had disrupted the -cabinet ■lid bad been forced through parlia pent as a party measure. He charg li that the Conservatives; were bound I j repeal the Laurier naval act, by Irrjtten pledges even to the Nationally and professed to believe that tho liberals would carry the country upon IbWr naval policy were the government to grant a dissolution. I;WJ 8. Mlddleboro, Conservative Hember for North Grey, In a spirited " (ph declared that the statements TOm^gggaSg^rh^ been de before the passage of the Oer t!» naval act of 1912. That leglsta- l by Germany had greatly increase the striking force of the navy so t now 80 per cent,of the ships-were 4y for immediate action. The re I ent Balkan war, he declared, had how j how easily military operations cmld change the map of Europe- that ti emergency did exist at present was ecognlzed by everyone. The fact that Ir Wilfrid Laurier and his followers ■ere now ready to vote two fleet units, ■though a Vear ago they regarded the uggestlon of one fleet unit as exoes-> Iva demonstrated how quickly events 1 inoved and how serious the em- !Ire situation had become. -* W- S.

That the grant of $15,000,000 Was ut the beginning of a permanent con itbutjon nlan. 8. That thla, gift endangered the irinciples of autonomy and free con- tltutional government. 4. That the admiralty memorandum does not show an emergency. 6. That Canada can best contribute > the naval defence of itself and the fetnplre by the construction of a separate navy along the .lines' of the act ft 1910. These oroposlttons, Mr. Mlddleboro flotyk up Ih turn and analyzed. Dealing with the question of existence of an emergency he traced the tremendous growth of tlfe German navy in 16 years coming from a practical nonentity to the second molt powerful navy in the world. _, . '.* "There are two methods," he said, "by which notions attain some great ultimate object they have In view. One lii to strive to attain that object secretly and underhanded' the other is ti do It so openly as to disarm all suspicion. The German nation has chosen tbe latter course because they cannot well conceal their naval preparations." Mr. Mlddleboro quoted the preamble ot the German naval act of 1900, setting aside $1,000,000,000 to start its Kaval program stating that "Germany must npssess a battle fleet of such strength. that even for the most powerful naval adversary a war would Involve such risks as to make that power's own supremacy doubtful." ■ "Can there be doubt," he asked, "of the'ultimate object of that policy and when you find-that they have appro* oriated more than $600,000,000 more for the purpose of increasing and strengthening that navy one is irres- tatably forced to the conclusion that It Is not for defensive purposes only.'' Mr. Mlddleboro pointed out how Great Britain had held out the olive branch for four consecutive years to Germany by cutting her building program In two, and Germany's answer had been to double her program. That was the bent of the German naval act of 1010 declaring that the German navy must be. so powerful that, no other navy would attack it. Public men in Britain were keenly alive to what It meant, recognising a condition ot a tad that demanded instant action. While Britain's naval suprem- (Continued on Page Five.) AN0THER2DEAD IN SNOW SLIDE Snow -Sheds" Over Railway Swept Away—Driver of Electrio Fan is Killed; (Special to The Dally Newa.) FERNIE, B. <C, Jan. 14.—At about 1 o'clock this afternoon another lami accident occurred at the Coal Creek mines of tihe Crow's Nest Pass 'Coal company, when a snow slide came down about a quarter of a mile to the westward bf the slide of Dec; 30, carrying away a shack, the snow sheds, oyer the main line-of the Mor- rlfcsey, Fernie & Michel railway and killing Joseph Culshawof Fernie, tho driver of the (big electrio fan.

SENT MONEY, OIL N0TIRECEIVED Firm Advertising OH and Parlor Lamps Reported Out of Business By Pest Offiee. fSpesia! to The Dallv Newa.) GOLDEN, B. C, Jan. 14.—Whether numerous residents of Kcftonay have been victimized by a swindle or whether the postal authorities at Winnipeg have, been negligent In their duties Is tf question over which W. J- Wright of Golden Is concerned. Early in December advertisements were sent to local papers throughout this territory by the Winnipeg branch of the Empire OU company. The copy was accompanied by a request that the account be sent to the'head offices at Indianapolis. It called for a half page and offered a 'barrel .of oil containing 48 Imperial gallons for $11.55, with which was to he given a parlor lamp free. Mr. Wright is one'of many who sent the above sum to P. O. Box 2190, Winnipeg, but is yet waiting for his shipment. A letter, sent by him asking why the oil was not sent has been returned by the dead letter office marked "Out of business.-' If this is the true state of affairs residents of Kootenay. are probably minus several thousand dollars, as the advertisement appeared in the majority of local papers published in this county. There may be some mistake, but the returned letter, was addressed Identically to the one containing the money and no acknowledgment whatever has been reclved.

LONDON, Jan. 1.4.—Unless unforeseen events should change the current of affairs the war In the Near Eas. will be resumed within a week and Europe will witness the horrors .of a winter campaign. The 'allies have firmly made up their minds to take up arms a second time. The Tun. lust week were threatening to leave London and let matters take whatever course they might. Now the Balkan delegates \are convinced that the Turks are merely drfftingr, without n fixed policy and they have decided to end the seemingly fruitless debates and wirepulling and begin the battle anew where they left off more than if month ago. The Ottoman government (ailed to convene the grand council today and apparently has no Intention of meeting the allies'; ultimatum on Adrlanople. The allies do pot believe In the efficacy of the note which the powers will present to the porte because It Is couched In too mild terms and simply advised Turkey lo submit to the fate of war and abandon Adrlanople for fear of complications in other -parts of the empire at a time when Turkey could not find moral or financial support in Europe, The Turkish government contends that this means nothing, because lt is aware that the powers would be unable to agree to any coercive measures.. Thus the presentation by the powers of the note, it Is pointod out, might mean- simply the opening of a new chapter in the ai- reudy w«i] l'ieo.ne diplomatic parleying and.tho shifting of the debates froiv. one to the other of the belligerent.- ;.n*U tbe powers. The Balkan kin-. uoms, moreover, are anxious to obtain relief from the heavy burden of keeping armiej on a war footing indefinitely. , Wishing, however, to obsorve ail the diplomatic courtesies, they have given the powers a reasonable time to agroi? on the note, frame it and present U to Turkey. But this once done, if Turkey, as is probaible, fails to yield, they are determined to act. Their governments have agreed to call another sitting of the conference through Sir Edward Grey or Rechad Pash:. who would be the next presiding officer. They will then simply announce their decision definitely to break off the negotiations and also thank Eng land for the hospitality extended ami the conditions of fair play undiv whteh theiMsp'*aslon occurred. ^ Immediately afterward Sofia, Cet- inje and Belgrade will denounce the armistice and the Servian, Bulgarian and Montenegrin commanders will notify the Turkish headquarters that hostilities will be resumed within 90 ■hours. The allies say that it Is easy to pre diet the course of events. After they have stormed TchataIJa they prophecy Turkey will be ready to cede Adrianople, Just as after the Italians landed ln Tripoli she offered to make concessions which previously she had strenuously refused and as after the victories of the Balkan states she consented to grant reforms they bad vainly asked for 30 years. After their second resort to arms, the Balkan delegates. say the peace terms will be different from those which Turkey Is now rejecting. They declare that Bulgaria will not be satisfied with a frontier line from Rodos- t) to Midla, but will draw it just before the -gates of Constantinople .. and they suggest a war Indemnity of 1200,000,000 or more. Interest Will be Paid. (By Daily News LeaBed Wire.)

H; Burnham, M.P. for West Peterboro, would abolish the political system of, conferring titles of honor in Canada. He gave notice of a bill this morning designed to accomplish the end. It Is entitled, "An act to abolish titles of honor In Canada.'' Mr. Burnham explained his proposals aa follows: "ThlB Is a democratic country and knighthoods are contrary to the spirit of the democratic institutions. There should, be no class distinctions. I should not attempt In any Way to interfere with the prerogative of the King. I*- his majesty wishes to knight anyone, well and good, but I maintain that the government should not recommend anyone for honors and that.no honorary titles should attach to specific positions. A man who accepts a knighthood very often Is tied down and hot able to express opinions, whereas if he had no such a decoration he would be able to cut loose." it BOARD OF TRADE WILL.

NEW DENVER, B. C, Jan. 14.—The board of conciliation convened In the court house at New Denver this mcrnlng. The first witness waB Era esi Levy, of the Van Rol Mining com- pany, who read a carefully prepared statement to show that it was not pos sible for his company to """grant anv Increase owing to heavy expenses which had been essential to the exploration of the property. So far as the reason for the men asking an Increase, ne did not consider lt was applicable to their employes in as much as the majority of them were boarded bv the company and whatever had been the Increase in the cost of op era ting tho boarding house there had br.en-no change in the rate charged the men, viz., $1 a day, which has ob tained for years throughout this dls trlct. The inorouce asked for, Mr. Levy stated ln reply to a question from Dtlllam Davidson, would amount approximately to $2,500 a month, D. Lay, superintendent, was then called and discussed at some length the varying prices of lead. Ho also touched upon the increased wages that had been earned by thoso working upon contract. As an argument that th* present wage was sufficient, he said that on an average, the employes were depositing ln the bank . from $■1,000 to $3,500 a month. This was a general statement und not specific. He acknowledged that there had been an Increase, ln the cost uf commodities more especially nie-Us. Thomas James Armstrong, outside foreman, was then called and stated that he had worked for three years at .the Van Roi, was married, and earning SJ4 oer day. In reply to Mr. Davidson he said he had not a very large bank account but owned his home In Slocan and was able to support his wife and four children. His wife did the financial management and sald.it waa costing- more now than formerly. James Cronln gave one of the clear- es- and most thoroughly appreciated statements relative to conditions In the mining world, which he is eminently fitted to do by reason of his long practical experience in ,*v!i branches from mucker to manager. In response to questions from Mr. Davidson he slated that the Stnndard mine had oaid dividends of $50,000 a month since last May, those constituting tho com- nr.ny owning this property also had other propenites that were in the making and although they were getting something out of the Standard, they were putting It back into the others, Other points touched upon were relative to methods of paying the miners In Rossland and Boundary and some interesting views were developed rela tlve to the length of time it took to make a novice into an efficient miner. In his experience, generally sneaking, In' would Judge that about 280 days would constitute the average time miners worked In a year. Ho1 stated that it was always his -ollcy to pay the best wages and get the best men, but that unfortunately the supply of good men was not enough to around, consequently an average wage was the, result. He urged the importance of the organization endeavoring iu build up the character of its men, so that membership tn the union would bi some evidence of skill and qualifl cation. Machinery Hi-jher In. Price. Ge rge Stllwell, manager of the Hewitt mine, stated that his company because it was a zinc producer was not benefitted by any rise In the priio of metals, and proceeded to -bhow that a number of their employes had succeeded tn making considerable savings upon the wages now being paid. Mr. Stllwell stated that it was out of the question to make any advance and that If the costs of living were mit forward on ,the part of the men, there was an equal or larger increase In the cost of machinery ahd that he had evidence of further Increases aS the beginning of the present year. In the afternoon, Alex Smith, manager of the Surprise, stated that his company had never paid a dividend and before it could -contemplate any advance ln wages it wanted to get back something for Itself as It had nbout $140,000 tied up in tho property s>i far und no certainty of getting 't bock, while the men had always received their wages and the merchants had their bills paid. W. B. Finch, manager of.the Idaho- Alamo, said he had been in charge of that property for about a year, employing 80 men. The Idaho was closed at present by snowslldes. He was working IB men at the Alamo, oh development work, paying current wages, and could not afford more, and no demand had been expressed on the part ' the mentor any Increase. . Lead Bounty Assisted Mine. W. E. Zwlcky, manager of the Rambler-Cariboo, gave a statement ot his experience In the Slocan since: 1000, showing the many vicissitudes that beset the development of a mine, averring that but for the-lead bounty this mine would have been closed down six years ago. At one time he was in the position that he had to ask thfi men to forego payment of wages foi one month, to which they not only willingly assented, but came forward with $3JiOO In caBh to aid him in con- \ tlnulng the work. He then presented! a tabulated statement giving the names of the men, whether married or stogie, and showing that the major portion had bank accounts, not stating the amounts, but saying that he had personal knowledge that considerable sums were put away out of the earnings by his employes. Needs Eighteen Hundred Per Year. Thomas Stuley, a working miner, said he worked for the Standard, was single, and 26 years of age. He worked as laborer, timber framerand miner. Upon being asked If ho could make ends meet on his wages, he said hd came out even but that he could not iay by a good deal. APked by C. R, Hamilton, K.C, what he considered a living wage he satd this varied with different individuals, but for himself he thought about $1,800 a year was required to make life, worth living. To the chairman, he said his net earnings tor tho five months while at the Standard, after paying board, were about ?400, and after allowing for his clothes and some little sent to his people hlB accounting for the balance was rather Indefinite but was represented chiefly by recreation. The next witness was David D. Murphy, a prospector and miner, who said he had been at this work about 35 years, and in British Columbia since 1S95. He gave a graphic description ot the hardships of the pioneer nros- pector and added that what he had made he had always put back Into the ground. His view was that the pioneer took all the hardships and the companies reaped the benefit and that some share of the prosperity was coming to the men who opened the country up when lt would still be without inhabitant other than the jack rabbit. The board then adjourned to resume lit Nelson on Thursday at 2 p. m, WILL RETAIN PARTY LEADERSHIP Bonar Law and Lord Lansdowne Abandon Food Taxes But Will Not Resign. LONDON, Jan. U.—Andrew Bonar Law, and Lord Lansdowne decided today to retain the leadership of the Unionist party in tlio hoi*ae of commons and the House of lords, respectively, and to abandon thu stand the" have heretofore taken on the subject of food taxation lu connection with the scheme of Imperial preference. ••In reply to tin? memorial addressed to him on Jan. 9 by a i -'.yregimtiiUvo meeting Of Unionists, In wtilch the abandonment- of the policy of food taxea was advocated, Andrew Bonar Law. who also speaks for Lord Lansdowne, Bays: "It would, haye been, more agreeable to ourselves and, in our view, more for the Interest of tho paity, that a change of method should have been accompanied by a change of leaders." Mr. Law t-oe-j on to say that as In the opinion of the memorialists a change of leadership would be "fatal to the Interests of tho warty and the country, we feel it our duty to comply with the request."

TWENTY-THREE HORSES SUFFOCATED IN TORONTO FIRE TORONTO ,Jan. H.—Coleman's bakery on Euclid' avenue was partially destroyed by firo this morning. Twenty-three horses were suffocated. The loss is about K0.00Q, well Insured. Alex Carrie, the Nelson' architect, v.111 be requested by the building committee of the Kootenay Lake General hospital board to prepare plans for ft new building to be constructed on tlje site of the present hospital and In se<> thus so that the old structure can bp utilized during the construction tof the. accommodation of oatlents. This step was decided upon at a meeting of the board last night on motion of D. G. Kurtz, seconded by Aid. T. A. Walley. \ Remarks made from the president R F. Glgot, indicated that tho new building might be snialler than W rooms, the size formerly determined upon. Mr. Glgot stated that after ma-> ture consideration he had cj>me to the conclusion that even if the necessary funds were available it was questionable -whether the revenue secured would be sufficient to meet operating expenses of a structure of the dlmen- sirns at. first oroposed and for which olans were prepared by S. B- Birds, a V*.neouver architect but "for which tho tenders proved' to be out of all proportion to the funds in prospect Mr. Kurtz stated that Mr. Carrie was willing to go, at his own expense, to other cities for ihe purpose^ of getting'into touch with the most* modern plans for the erection of hospitals and urged that It was advisable ,to employ a local architect. Aid. Walley spoke along similar lines and said that he thought a local man would be most likely to give the hospital the beat value for the money expended. He thought Mr. Carrie would give the board exactly what was 'wanted and not place It head over heels In debt. He saw-no objection to the present site if none better could be obtained and said that he had heard ttut title could not he obtained to the portion'of Houston park which lt had been Intended to utilize as a hospital site and grounds. Harry Amas agreed to the proposal to secure a local architect and John Toye holleved that there was ample room for a hospital on the prjjgent property. Leslie Craufurd also supported tho local architect idea. Fred Irvine and Mr. Amas were ap- prinlcd visiting directors for this month. Make Offer to Birds. Tt was decided to offer Mr. Birds -■J125 in full settlement of his claim which has been reduced to $150, in ci nnectlon with the plans for which tlie tenders wero too high. It was announced that the improvements had been made to the Janitor's quarters and that .there was now no necessity for using the stove which was the cause of the recent fire. In connection with the apoolntment on the board of a representative of tha trades and labor council It was explained that the directors were elected by the subscribers to the association at tho annual meeting and that thr board had no power to add any person to Its number except In the regular way. A desire to have a representative of labor men upon tho board was expressed by members pres- eni and John Notman, proposed by the trades and labor council, is likely to bo among those nominated for election as directors at tlie forthcoming annual meeting of the board. Others present last night wera George Johnstone, secretary, and WH- Horn Wilson. .. Big Freight Steamer Adrift On Atlantic (By Daily News Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, Jan. 14.—Tho Hamburg-American line freighter Abyssinia crippled by the great storm of January 3, may still be adrift in mid- ocean. Wireless from the steamship Cedrlo yesterday gave grounds for the belief that the Abysinnia had been picked, up hy the freighter Armenian and was being towed to port, , but when tho Codric arrived today her captain said tho disabled vessel and the rescue ship might have missed each other ln the fog. At midnight ot January 12, when tbe Cedrlc passed out of the wireless raldus the Armenian was still groping ln the fog and the crippled steamer was still adrift.

Kooienag and Btiundart) WOMEN SHOW LITTLE INTEREST Civic Meeting at Kaslo—Publio Own- . erihip of Electrio Light Plant Is Advocated (Special to The Dally Newa) KASLO, B. C, Jan, 14.—The civic meeting colled by Mayor Garland, assembled in the Eagle's opera house, and after Mr. Garland announced the object of the meeting he asked that a chairman be elected. John Keen wa& chosen chairman. Mr. Keen on taking the chair said that he was disappointed to see so few women voters present in view of the activities of a society recently formed having for Its object the extension of the franchise tc* women. Twenty-five per cent of the entire voter's list were women, he sold. There were only seven women present, or about six per cent of the entire audience. Mr. Keen then extended an invitation to the retiring aldermen and those aspiring to office, to take a seat on the platform. D. C. McGregor accepted, but no one else came forward. Mr. Keen then called on Mr. Garland, who went into lengthy details about the waterworks, comparing the rates charged here with those charged in other towns of the same size, making a strong argument for municipal ownership. In the town of Sandon, he said the waterworks was owned by a company who charged the city |10 per year for each of 10 hydrants. The price was reduced to $60 later and now $600 per annum was paid by that town for 10 hydrants. The argument showed that Kaslo had saved Its citizens a great deal by having possession of its waterworks. He then dealt with the question of electric lighting and adduced comparisons from Trout Lake, Trail, New Denver, Pentlcton and Nelson, tending to show that Kaslo would do well to purchase and operate the Kootenay Electric company's electric lighting plant. Mr. McGregor, the next speaker, said: "I do not see one alderman present.'* Mr. McGregor advocated the purchase of shade trees for free distribution among the citizens, and a general policy of making the town more attractive to tourists and settlers. He said if elected and supported by an alderma-plc board he would endeavor to buy the electric light plant. What Kaslo pays for light would pay the Interest on $20,000. If the plant could be purchased, well and good, a no lf this could not be arranged a plant could be erected further up the cieek so that the water could be returned to the creek above the intake of the present plant. John Keen asked the mayor to occupy the chair, while he, in a very businesslike and forceful manner dealt vyilh matters of finance and advocated th>..adopUoij,4iUumR(iilr-l.-^?m.ofJ balance sheet for the annual report, so that one year's statement could be more readily compared with that of other years. He said that th* city's fin-tni1-"* fin-* credit was good, that its material as-, sets would pay #100 to each voter. He advised consolidating the debt, and drew attention to the fact that 04 per cent of the voters were owners, while only aix, per cent were householders, a most satisfactory condition for a city which might wish to borrow money. The national anthem concluded the meeting. NOTE8 FROM HALCYON (Speolal to The Dallv News.) HALCION, B.

Tea and Coffee "Over-Exercise" The Hear Normal exercise is healthful. Over-exercise'is^harmful. Exercise, up to a certain degree, increases the pulse-rate, causing [amplejflow'of nourishing .blood to all the'^body organs. That is normal exercise. Physicians and Physical Trainers know this. Over-exercise urges the Heart"to excessive action- flooding the body [organs with blood. The after-effect is stagnation and decomposition in the tissues—as in the lowlands after a spring freshet-^and toxins (poisons) abound. These toxins are reabsorbed into the blood stream, and, passing through the Heart, poison that organ with the rest. Over-exercise also causes strain. Architects'know what "strain" means in buildings and in bridges, just as Doctors and Trainers know it in the Human Structure. When "strain" passes a certain limit/the structure begins to weaken-—slowly disorganize. So with the Heart. It can stand*|so much "strain"—-more or less, in different persors. . Beyond the individual limit—look out! I When the Heart is compelled to over-exercise and convey a blood-stream filled With toxins—it is serious, in the extreme. Tea and Coffee cause OVER-exerclse of the Heart through the "whip" they contain in the form of the drug, Caffeine. This drug Increases the Heart's action—even while "OVER EXERCISE" OP HEART Very Plain in- Soma Pssopl.. A great many people go on suffering fiom the annoying ailments for a long time before thoy can get their own consent to give up the Indulgence from which their trouble arises. An Eastern man describes his experience aa follows: "I became satisfied some months ago that I owed the palpitation of the heart, from which I suffered almost1 J.aily, to the use of coffee—1 had been a coffee drinker for 80 years, (Tea, also is injurious because it contains caffeine, the same drug found ln coffee.) "I realized that I must give up the harmful indulgence In coffee but I felt the necessity for a hot table drink and aa tea is not to my liking, 1 was at a loss for a while what to do. "Ono day, 1 ran across a very sensible and straightforward presentation of the claims bf Postum, and waa so Impressed thereby that I concluded to give it a trial, and I have used it ever since. "The effect on my health haa been most salutary. The heart palpitation frosn'whsoss I used to suffer so-much, particularly after breakfast, la gone, and I never have a return except when,. I dine or lunch away from home and drink coffee because Postum is not served. I find that Postum cheers and ' invigorates while It produces no .stimulation."

Jn view of the policy of The Dally News not to take part in civic politics • *Wfle may question its action in taking any part In the school board campaign. The answer Is that The Dally Ktos feels that in this matter it owes a duty to the public which overshadows any apparent lack of consistency that may be levelled at It as ■j^jresult of its course. It believes that We affairs of the Nelson school board have not been conducted along business lines, and that the public interest aiid the cause of education have suffered aa a result. One of the inherent weaknesses of dbfr- board during the <past few years has been the fact, that one of the f?Ustees haSC atsb held the position- ofl secretary. The Dally News recognizes the service which Dr. Arthur rendered the cause of education In the early days of the city, and lt ts also averse to any action that would Injuriously affect him personally, but at y»tv same, time It cannot escape the conviction that the public interest demands the separation of the secretaryship of the board from the position of trustee. To allow any trustee to act as secretary of the board places that member In a position of power Vastly different from that possessed by other members, and In the nature of things Is bound to lead to the formation of tubals and clfyues such as have ruled the Nelson school affairs for some years now. Not only this, but in the case of Nelson a relationship has sprung- up between tho staff and certain members of the board that-has resulted more than once in grave injustice being done, and that in uny case must be subversive of that me-i- sure of discipline and good order which Is essential to the success ■the schools. That such a relationship exists is known to all who are at all familiar with school affairs. In the public interest It should cense. -■"One of the gravest causes of complaint against the element in school board affairs, which Dr. Arthur represents, is the lack of frankness which has been shown in regard financial matters as well as In regard ta school affairs generally. The financial statement published in connection with the city's financial statement is of the most meagre character. It is more remarkable for what it does KDt tell than for the information which it conveys. During the past couple of years the public have learn- «tt, something of the operations of the hoard, financial and otherwise, through the press. Previous to that time ,the public knew what the board, In reality the secretary, Dr. Arthur, thought fit to give out, In this matter The Dally -News has- no* axe to grind, nor self-interest serve. It submits,., however, that'in telrness to all concerned the secretary dif the school board should be a man outside the board; that is, he should not be one of the trustees; that more business-like system should be introduced Into the administration of school affairs; that a more complete statement" of school finances should be submitted annually, and .that all j-jaeetlngs of the board should be open to the public and; to the press, and tjt^tt with this object ln view some definite rule be adopted as to the form in which notices of, meeting are to be fe$t out and the 'length of notice fWiich should be given. No-reason- ■Sttily-minded man with the interests of Nelson's educational system at heart wil* suggest for a moment that the Introduction Into the administration of school affairs of a policy-suoh as The Dally .News submits is not advisable,; and, what Is more, not absolutely necessary. With a view to introducing such a policy personal friendships and antipathies should be forgotten tomorrow and the public interest only remembered by- electors tin* marking their ballots. , What the Press Is Saying - Truly. .

It is Impossible for me to know the motives which prompted the request for leave to marry, but the effect of such marriage would have been to excite strong expressions of sentiment which had no true bearing on the prisoner's guilt/' Cr(es of "a brutal decision," greeted the home secretary's answer.

Counsel for the prosecution read several letters to Mackay from losers promising to pay their debts, but the names of the writers were suppressed. One letter said to be from a well known society woman read: "I am going to ask you, as a great Ifavor, whether you can let my $1500 stand to lhe end of the month,-as I have practically no money of mly allowance left. After all, I have been a very reliable gambler." A check for £800, sent by another woman, was drawn on Coutts bank and was dishonored. THI8 DAY IN CANADIAN HISTORY January 15. By the beginning of January, 1784, over 28,000 loyalists had. settled In Nova Scotia which Included what is now New Brunswick. Of these, 1,233 were "servants,' and almost certainly negro slaves. There were also a number of free negroes In the province. In 1781 the Sierra I*eone company proposed to remove to that ter-; rltory ln Africa a number of the Nova Scotia negroes. The white Inhabitants; of Nova Seotli\ objected to the removal of, this "valuable body of''laborers and market gardeners," and urged that It- would be .better to spend a proportion of the large amount their transportation would cust ln giving them some help; where they were, Many of the colored people were of the same mind. Apparent ly these representations had some ef-. feet, for on January lfi, 1792, the British government ordered that the expense for collecting anil transporting them should' be .--topped, that lands should be given to those willing to settle In Nova Scotia and that sultablo men amongst them should be enlisted for service ln the West Indies. It was too late. Already 1.100 colored folk had consented to go, and on that same January 16, 1793, they set sail from Halifax In 15 transports.

The first was that of John Williams, known as "The Hooded Man," who was convicted of the murder of Police Inspector Wells at Eastbourne. A pathetic circumstance connected with this case is the loyalty of a young woman, Florence Seymour, to Williams. It may be remembered that Williams since his conviction, ar-ked permission of the home secretary to be allowed to marry the Seymour woman before the birth of their child, but the request was refused. She was in court yesterday with her two weeks old infant ahd broke down and" wept bitterly when the lord chief justice decided the law must take Its course.

So must Princess Olga before she marries her count, for the house of Suxe-Altenburg Is proud and ancient, closely akin to that of Saxe- Cobourg-Gotha of which Leopold, a prince of Oreat Britain and Ireland, is the reigning duke.

To the Electors of the City of Nelson After.learning that there will be two public meetings In two different places, called.by two other candidates for the mayoralty, and on the same night, I have decided not to call a public meeting at a third place, as It would not be doing justice to the electors who would, not have an opportunity of hearing the policies of the three candidates at the same time. ■ , ■" jit-*,! ■■ -. After considering that if I should be Invited to speak to one or both meetings I would not accept, for two reasons. At Mr. Keefe's meeting, as his committee Is opposed to me being in the field, as a candidate for mayor, I am satisfied that I would not be well treated.' Very few, If any, would listen to me. To discourage my supporters they have spread lt around the city that I could not Qualify for mayor and they have also tried to discourage me ln every way they know. They fient a deputation of Mr, Keefe's committee to Interview me and ask me to back out from the contest. I resolved that neither thy supporters nor myself would have been Justified In doing no-, and In reply I asked them to withdraw frhQlr candidate and Join .forces with me, but that dld-not look good enough to them, as they did not know how they could work me for their benefit. Then they retired. ,s They attempted to hurt my chan^cef of ejection by. another falsehood In order to turn my supporters away, by saying, that some of the Ministerial- association agents were, encouraging me by saying that they Wore going to vote for me in order to keep me in the field so that I would split the Vote from Mr. Keefe. That also Ir entirely a falsehood. ■ ',,»','' ..-..-, I am Just as much opposed to Mr. Irving's election as Mr. Keefe's bos fie-- are, Mr. Irving, who Is a candidate In the field, If he should be elected, would act to the satisfaction of the Ministerial association only, and against the Interests and the welfare of the cl.ty. Mr. Keefe Is the candidate of a few men. Ho really does not know what he will havo to do, should he bo elected, but his bosses .know what they want him for. " They are working hard and they have lots of money for campaign purposes; lf they don't have enough support to elect their candidate they will try to buy It. It Is useless for me to say-who his backers are, as everybody knows them.. Mr. Keefe was nominated by a few men, at a public meeting of a very small representation, and declared his platform, saying he stood by his record, and that the way In which the business of the city had been run in 1912 was good enough for him. At the-request of a substantial number of ratepayers on December 14, 1912, I announced myself as a candidate for the mayoralty and also my platform, which Mr. Keefe later on copied and discarded hla own which he stood for*when he was nominated. A vote for Mr. Keefe will be a vote'for Mr, Irving. A vote for Nipou will be a vote for -the welfare of the whole city and for the benefit of all the citizens.

HOUSE RESUMES NAVAL DEBATE (Continued from page one.) acy'on'the seas was'absolutely essential toiler existence, German's naval supremacy could be nothing more than a luxury. ' '■■■ ■ '#*•£-'• The Liberal government of Canada utterly Ignored the crisis that had arisen In 1910. and brought down instead, their naval service act as the permanent naval nol Icy. It was then that the Conservative opposition moved an amendment that Canada should grant $26,000,000 for. lhe building ot two dreadnaughts for Britain. "That "was the psychological mo ment," said Mr, Mlddleboro, "Had we sent the dreadnaughts the moral ef feet would have been much greater tlian the material. The policy which the government adopted is now, after three years ot absolutely no aid to the motherland ln her present crisis. The ;German naval bill °f. 1912 constitutes1 such an emergency as to Justify the present grant of three dreadnoughts, Mr.. Mlddleboro .asked why the leader of the opposition had so changed his attitude If, as he declared, )he conditions today were the same as1' three years ago. Then he had proposed as a proper defence the building ot four small cruisers and six destroyers, while today he stood committed to the building of 26 vessels of two complete fleet units. In the last analysis the great danger was to the British navy and in opposing the bill the primary object of which was to strengthen that navy, he waa Increasing that danger. Oi the second point the - contention that the $35,000,000 grant would,be the beginning of a policy of contribution the member for North Grey expressed his belief that no one in the house'believed that though there might be some throughout the country so deluded. The opposition was furthering this by placing their permanent policy in opposition and suggesting that both should'be referred to the people. Yet the Conservative policy bad not changed In.any way from the promise made In o--*ositlon. It must be. remembered that there was a difference between measures .dealing with the re- qulrments of the Immediate future and the elaboration of a permanent policy. The latter would require more consideration and much fuller discussion. Mr. Mlddleboro dlscussfed the constitutional aspect at some length. Who he asked, had ever heard of a free and untrammeled gift in any way affecting Canadian autonomy or the constitutional relationships except to pre-. serve both hy helping to preserve the empire? There had at no period been demand from Britain as to what. action the colonies would take yet there was an evident desire on tbQ oart of the opposition to make it appear, that the government was pro-" noslfig something-'-in the nature of a tax,: the ))egh-*rilng of f.permanent -In-, voluntary -contxfoiiilotV'li} this -there was no truth. The'fourth contention dealt, with, was . that tha.; ftt-ttnlisiHr .memorandum showed no -existing emergency., Those wh,o took that view might be referred Churchill afteV Sift fast Ger&^^Svy bill was made known. That, he felt would of Itself ■■prove*' the question of emergency and make clear the interpretation of, the present memorandum, From the memorandum'Itself Mr. Mlddleboro quoted the statement: "We have no hesitation-in-answering after prolonged consideration. of all the circumstances that it Is desirable that such aid should include the provision or a certain number of the largest and strongest ships of war -which 'science cam build or money supply.1' 'The British government knows what Is the .best thing for us to do, .said Mr. /Mlddleboro; "they know what is the best means of rendering effective and Immediate .aid and they have said. 'If you ask us what Ih* the best thlpa to no, send us three ships of the kind proposed. They do not ask for men; IMS knew that it would be Impossible for us, In the space of a couple of years, to man three Dreadnoughts, especially when they saw what was done with tlie Niobo and the Rainbow." The North Grey member vlgorouslv combatted-the Idea that tho policy of separate Canadian navy would best meet the situation. To do ■ so would be to Ignore all possibility of on umergency. It would be to Ignore once again the advice and- reareseitfatyma of the admiralty that what Britain needs today Is direct aid of fighting ships to the Imperial navy w take their place in the fighting lines in the North sea. "This bill,1' said the speaker, "does not pretend to affect the permanent naval policy of Canada. Tho frank admission ■by Hon. Prank Oliver of an emergency, the statements of. Mr. Borden, the confidential statement given to him by the admiralty, supplemented by the admlr- arti' ffeport, all these Justify the Introduction of the present-bill,. Mr. Mlddleboro closed with an appeal to Sir Wilfrid Laurier to join hands and pass tlie bill unanimously.' If he did so, he would have grasped the. oppor- : tunlty of a life time and tlie effect of It In tho chancellories of Europe would equal the monetary assistance proposed by the bill. Hugh QuthrEo. Hugh Guthrie (South Wellington), continuing the debate said he had still vividly before his mind the eloquent speech of Hon. Goorge E. Foster Just before the house rose on Dec. 18, .He asked the house to compare .the florid, ovurdonw utterance of Mr. Fester With the speeches of the ministers ot ■ the British parliament. The statesmen of the mother land had sought to establish feelings of self-security. Mr, Foster's object-was to develop a feeling of insecurity. Mr. Guthrie; warmly ] congratulated Premier Borden on the manner in which he had presented, to the houso a measure of such importance. ■ ' - licit; the empire apd the- domfMons beyond the seas. It' was so plain that no one could mistake" it Mr. Guthrie at some length outlined the policy of the Liberals and Conservatives ln 1909. He then proceeded to trace the growth of the Nationalist movement and claimec :nat tne Conservative policy had been changed owing to -an alliance with the Nationalists. Mr. Guthrie' admitted the atatemeaf of the admiralty to the effect that-the moral support which came from a united Canada backing Britain was very im-. portant. ' At the present time there waa not a united Canada There-was a well- marked line of demarcation between the parties. If the argument.for more support was 'to amount to anything! the two parties must- come together and there must be sovie glvcrt ahd take.*' ' "I have not consulted my leader," he Said, "but I am going to make a proposal which I believe will .'do much, to bring about a compromise. You propose a contribution of Dreadnoughts; we propose the establishment of two fleet units, each headed by a Dreadnought. The British admiralty has not asked for a definite number, of Dreadnoughts. Why not' make Jjt two? We would agree that they be built in Groat Britain; the rest of the fleet units could be built In this country There would be no constitutional difficulties ln the way of such a (■plan and the proposal to have a Canadian minister ln England could be con- sldered later. There Is a gulf between ■ us and lt ought to be bridged. If we can bridge this gulf let us do so. If we cannot settle the'auestlon this way, then there ought to be an appeal to the court of final resort—the people. If there waa an immediate peril no mandate would De necessary, I don't believe there- is any Immediate danger and on so great a question why not let the people decide?" B. W. Nesbltt (Oxford, N. S.) said that the protection of our own shores and ocean routes was the chief consideration for Canada in which tho Dominion might well relieve the mother country. Mr. Nesbltt claimed that It was tbe Liberals who had to educate the .people of this country to any naval expenditure. In a strong advocacy of a Canadian-built and managed navy he argued if Russia and Japan could build navies Canada could too, Canada got beyond the contribution stage years ago. Never mind the redistribution bill, he advised, but go to the country. He had used .anguage of simplicity and dignity ln.'iuepmg with hla position as first minister of the land. It was a plain statement of facts and he had left it to hla more flighty colleagues to'elaborate .thji case. >fo waa very concise,, very pointed And very fatr. However, while he congratulated, he could neither agree with him as to the facts nor as to the remedy. Mr. Borden had,* he pre-- sumed, -based his proposals entirely on the memorandum of the admiralty,. The memorandum did not support, the contention of the premier that there was an emergency. Premier Bi**--^** said that there'Was an emergency; premier Asquith J&d:, state-1 that Britain's naval power was overwhelmingly superior to tha.t ol any foreign fleet. Bonar Law, Mr, Balfour -and Lord -Crewo had all taken very .much the same position. He argued that there was nothing in the memorandum to show any signs of danger. ■ ~ <'■■ < •*-*«" He pointed out that, only eight weeks before the premier went to .England Winston Churchill made a notable speech at a banquet of the Shipwright company and ln his speech Htated that the main development.of the British policy during the past 10 years had been- concentra-'i- tion ln home waters. Mr. ; GuthVle thought that the first lord of the ad- ' mtrftRy at that \time was looking forward to thei-oofr-thr of the Canadian ministers. Under these circumstances he madfe. a deliberate pronouncement as to ■what he ■ conjldered the best policy tor CANADAIWAY HAVE RUDE AWAKENING Church Parade* Have Lulled Canadians Into Sense of Security- General Utters Warning. OTTAWA, Jan. 14.—The people of the Dominion spent $7,558,284 for military purposes last year, according to tho annual report of the militia and dt-fence department laid upon the table ln the commons yesterday by Col.

Gen. Otter concludes by asking if it is not Imperative that Canada should possess a military force "adequate to bear the first brunt of conflict, or In any event, cause the Invader to stop and think on the threshold and by expressing the belief that the plaudits of church or ceremonial parades have lulled Canadians Into the belief that wt are fit and capable for any Invasion, and that we are "encouraging a rude awakening and Irreparable loss- some, day."

Eagle Block Baker Street Marconi Committee Presents Interim : Report— Recommend--. Purchase of Sites for Stations (By Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Jan. 14.—The Marconi select committee yesterday read to Postmaster General Samuel the draft of a proposed Interim report- which after stating that the committee had arrived at the.conclusion that it was a matter of urgency that an imperial wireless aha In be completed as soon ■is possible, recommended the Immediate purchase of sites,for Marconi, stations, declaring that these require more room than any .other system, and there will be ample room if another system Is finally adopted. - The report favors the Immediate appointment of a liit'hly <iu.i]tfled technical commute*? like the board of explosives to examine Into the practical and scientific merits of alt systems and recommends the adoption of the hest., The 'postmaster general while approving the committee's suggestion for the Immediate purchase of sites said that the appointment of this committee would probably lead to. further delay as there would he a battle of experts over the adoption of a.system. [lie did not think that ln a matter, of this sort the state should .speculate. He urged, on behalf of the Rovern- ment, that it could not act merely on predictions. # The government attached import- jjwice to getting stations soon, to having stations which could be relied up- ■Jn to work day and night and to having complete freedom to change the system first adopted lf any other systehi later proved' itself to be 'better. Before the report was read Sir G. proyden Marks, M, P., said that the Marconi company wanted too iniuch, $300,000 each for the proposed stations; that tho 10 per cent royalty on gross receipts was entirely too high and that the proposed agreement was the first to hla knowledge In which the lessees undertook to pay for a patent after It had expired. He accused one member of tlie committee of acting more like counsel for the government than as. an Impartial investigator.
