A few minutes later, while Wright, with his head in thc sack, was being Whirled across the west side, Earl Hal- gren, 2_ years old, while walking down the street whore Wright was attacked, noticed the satchel. He picked It up and finding the contents valuable turned it over lo the police. Wright telephoned to his office, that he had heen robbed. A messnge from tho police that the satchel had boon recovered was received aliout the same time Wright said that the kidnapping took place so rapidly that ho could not be sure of any of the men. He was set down on an obscure stroet sis mlles from whore he. had boon seized. The mon searched him and domandeu his satchel, he said, and when It could not be found thoy thrust him out of the car with a warning that he would bo killed if lie tried to hallo. Tho car disappeared before he got tho sack off his head. LIQUOR TRADE GOVERNMENT MONOPOLY IN SWEDEN (By Dally News Leased Wlre.1 Stockholm, Dec. 11.—For somo time past the temperance societies in Sweden have carried on a campaign to make the production of spirits in the country a government monopoly. Their efforts have met with success and an agreement has been signed with the chief firms engaged in the manufacture of liquors by which they will sell their factories. At present the control of raw spirits will remain in the hands of private traders. The bill constituting tho liquor trade a government monopoly will be introduced at tho next session of parliament.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—A denunciation of the legal procedure under Which "a brown hued, black skinned, thick lipped, brutal hearted African can'walk into an office of the law and demand an edict guaranteeing him wedlock to a white woman," was one of the many sensational features of a speech in the house today by Representative Roddenberry of Georgia, ln favor of a resolution he had introduc- ■ed earlier to prohibit intermarriage of Whites and negroes. The measure, which was a direct result of the marriage of Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist, with a white girl, did not get to a vote, but lt enlivened a dull day. Mr. Roddenberry declared that "no brutality, Infamy or degradation In all the days of southern slavery possessed such villainous characteristics and atrocious qualities as tbe permission of that marriage by the laws of this country.'' i In Chicago, he said, not only is the white slave traffic carried on, 'but "the wtyte girls of this country are made th6 slaves of an African brute, sanctioned by the laws of the state and solefnnlzed by a form of the marriage ceremony." Mr, Roddenberry added: "We say tbls Is a great country, with its morals, traditions, virtues and examples, deserving to be emulated and envied by thc other countries of the earth But we see an African with much brutal force, with no moral character, witli no stamina enterfng the office of a magistrate or other legal officer ih that city, and calling on him to issue 'to me, Jack Johnson,' a marriage license to wed a young American woman of our own blood, our own (iolor."

Wright and Anderson represented Johnson in the white sla**e case yet to be heard. Johnson appeared in the municipal court today to answer to a charge of' assault and battery brought by a news paper photographer whom Johnson is alleged to have struck with a cane. Testimony that Johnson had struck nim with his cane and injured tlu photographer was given and Johnson hnd just taken the stand In his own dtfence when the court adjourned until tomorrow.

A JUSTIFIABLE HOLD UP it ia to be hoped that the decision of the government as announced by Hq*rj. T. W. Crothers, minister of labor, and Hon. Robert Rogers, minister of the interior, that the Grand Trunk Pa- cijjjf} railway will receive no further assistance from the Dominion government until aucb time aa It carrica into effept the finding of the recent board of conciliation and inveatigatlon into tbt -strike of the boiler makers and machinists employed on its lines will have the desired effect. ,,In this case the employees of these tw,p trades had certain grievances, which were Investigated by a board of conciliation and investigation appointed by the department of labor The finding of the board was practically entirely in favor of thc men. The company, however, saw fit to disregard the finding and to refuse to carry U 'Into efect. The matter has been up several times, but the company remained obstinate. Tbe Grand Trunk Pacific, however, is now In need of tip? belj) of the government and apparently the government has taken advantage of that fact to force the company into compliance with the finding of the board which investigated thf: questions at Issue between It and it-j employees While holdup measurca are not looked upon as the most satisfactory or best way of dealing with matters of this kind, there are few who will not agjee with the government's action in this particular instance. FINANCIAL HELP FOR AGRICULTURISTS. The question nf financial assistance tor those engaged In agriculture, which bag, been more or less to the front In British Columbia for some time past, isr-also receiving attention in other quarters. For example, at the fifth annual convention of the governors of thc various states of the United States, the matter was up, when a scheme Vrfs-fs propounded, which, it waa urged, would eliminate the mortgages which l\ave covered many an American farm Ul*# a pall from one generation to another. -The propoBltion which has been ten- tiij|yely advanced In British Columbia although at times in more or leas varying, forms, hns been that the govern- nfent should loan a portion of Its surplus cash at a low rato of Interest to ttWse engaged In agriculture to assist them in developing their properties. The scheme proposed by the conference of governors differs from this In that It eliminates the government as a lender of money. Instead, It is proposed, that certain banks be establish- Oil. under thn authority of speclul slate laws, passed to permit this being done These banks, it is proposed, should be financed by private capital, but the special legislation under which it la proposed they should be established Would be of such a character as to permit them to issue bonds for short or long terms upon farms In lieu at njprtgages. These bonds, the suggestion is, should be controlled to a certain extent by the legislature cf the different states within which they aro Issued. ,It Is doubtful whether a scheme such as .this could be applied In British Col- upibia, but it is also doubtful whether tht utilization of the government surplus as a loan fund for farmers would no*v also be open to grave objections. At the same time the need for some measure of governmental action Is apparent to those interested in agriculture In this province, as, apparently, Jt .is to those Interested In the same industry in other parts of the continent and a!ao it might be said -throughout the world generally.

If the railways are to charge $2 to $! per day for cars held by consignees, by al! means let tbe consignees have pow er to charge $2 to ?3 per day for con signments delayed by the railways.

Sir John Thompson, premier ot the Dominion, was sworn In as a member of the Imperial Privy council, and died Immediately after leaving the presence of Queen Victoria.

In 1ST7 be was elected member for Antlgotilsh. A year later he became attorney-general of Nova Scotia, and a -recognized leader of the Conservatives. But at tbe age of 38 he retired from politics to become n judge of the Supreme Court. This position he resigned in 1885 to accept ofloe in the Dominion cabinet ns minister of Justice, and In 1831 he succeeded Sir John Macdonald as Premier of Canada. Whilst at the head of the government he toiled harder than ever before, and finding t his health was falling, he decided In the autumn of 1804 to take the brief holiday In Italy and Bngland which ended with such tragic suddenness.

(By Daily News leased Wire.) NEW YORK. Pec. 11.—Union Pacific was tire storm centre of the attack on securities today when demorallzed conditions prevailed.

Blocks of thousands of shares changed hands In rapid succession and In one hour 908,000 Bhsxes changed hands. Hhe day's total was 1,255,600 shares. During the morning session the market presented a more cheerful front und prices rose, a number or the leading issues gaining a point or two. The storm broke shortly after nonn with a sudd-fin assault on Union Pacific which bore It down five points. After a rallv and a brief period of dullness, pressure was renewed will, greater force and the market gave way under the strain, Trading was most active in Union Pacific, Reading and Steel, the three great issnoB made up approximately two- thirds of the total for the day. During the entire afternoon- the market wus feverish, with wide fluctuations and a sflnrp rally toward the close.

Various disquieting rumors were beard. but they were accepted as merely the usual accompaniment of such n movement on the exchange. Tl.e fact that Union Pacific bore tlie brunt of the selling gave rise to the theory that large holders of that Stock were unloading on account of tlie Marrlman merger decision ami were buying Southern Pacific, a stock which held comparatively steady. Money rates were ensv. Banks showed a further loss In operations at the sub- treasury and the outflow amounting to $H,TC0,(KIO for the week thus far.

KEEN DEMAND FOR CANADIAN COAL Shortage of United States Coal Causes Unusual Demand For Alberta Product. (By Dally New? ceased Wire.) LETHBRIDGE. Alta., Dec. ll.—With little American coal on lhe- market the demand for coal from tbls district has Increased amazingly, and all mines are running their full capacity. Such was the statement made today hy B. K. Bul- loftr of Taber, one of the independent mine owners who Is behind the movement for a reduction in freight rates on coal from this district sufficient to allow Canadian coal to be placed on the American market at a lower figure than is now possilde. thus giving them the advantage of competing In one of the largest centres of demand in thcTweBt. "The coal market tbls winter," said Mr. Bullock, "is belter than lt has ever been. Tbls Is caused by the absence of Alfterlcan coal on the Winnipeg market. The strike In the American coal fields during tho summer has caused a shortage of coal on the other side, and little Is .being shipped to the Manitoba market now. The result is a demand for Alberta mined coal In that market. This shows beyond the shadow* of doubt that Alberta coal could control the Maifltobr market If the freight rates were re duced as we are asking. If that tlm* ever comes it will mean continuous operation In the mines in this district, and those who have seen the prospentx In the coal camps attendant upon tin Increased output this winter know that the control of the Manitoba* coal market would mean greatly increased prosperity throughout the whole of Southern Alberta."

STRIKE FOR RIGHT TO GET DRUNK Engine Driver Refuses to Sign Pledge —Ten Thousand Men Strike in Sympathy, f_ (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON; Dee. IL—Engine Driver Knox, on account of whose dismissal because he. was Intoxicated off duty, 10,000 mon of the Northeastern railway are on strike for the "right, to get drunk" principle, refuses to sign the temperance pledge. This was suggested as a solution to the deadlock by General Bramwel! Booth of the Salvation Army. Replying to Brim- well Booth's telegram, Knox wired:, "Am not of Ml temperate habits, ■ therefore do not intend lu sign the pledge. We are dealing with our company, not outsiders, in this business." The home office promises inquiry into KnoYs irjlsmissal, which the strikers declare was a miscarriage of justice. Their argument is that Knox was not drunk, as he had taken only two small hot. drams, which could not possibly intoxicate a normal man, the drams being commonly taken to protect the men again the raw, damp weather. This point and the question of the period of Knox's probation before he is reinstated are now the chief points in the men's /attitude, as they have abandoned their original position, -finding they had no public sympathy ln claiming the right to get drunk as a principle of civil liberty.

THORPE'S DRINKS FIRE DESTROYS LAUNCH HOUSES Repair Shop and Georgs Ferguson's Launch Are Burned—Fire Chief Makes Recommendations, Two boat houses, a quantity of launch supplies and a valuable launch were destroyed in a fire which broke out in Thomas Sargent's repair shop on the waterfront about 4 o'clock yesterday morning. The launch which is practically a total loss belonged to George Ferguson, whose hoat house adjoined that of Mr. Sargent. The loss Is expected to amount to over ?2,000 and is partially covered by insurance. G. A. Hunter's boat house waB scorched but the dhmage was very small. Over 1,000 feet of hose had to be laid bv the fire brigade which had to contend with great difficulties on account or.the distance from the nearest hydrant and the necessity to wind ln and out among the boat houses hetween the street and the burning building. Crossed electric wires, spontaneous combustion from waste and oil are possible causes of the outbreak, according to Chief Guthrie. Speaking of the fire last night and of the difficulties wllh which the brigade had to contend the chief said that the attention of the Boat and. Launch clubs should be called to tbe necessity for provldinb a straight float down thc centre of the houses, "It took us considerable time to lay the hose this morning. Tbls delay which resulted In the burning of Mr. Ferguson's launch and house could havo been almost entirely obviated lf we could have had a straight run for the hose Instead of having lo run In and out ond around the different bouses." Another matter to which thc chief snld attention should he called was the height of piling. In cases where they caught fire it was hard to get at the blaze ns it was necessary to climb the poles. There was no necessity for them to be so high, declared the chief, who recommended that they he cut ofl to a uniform height nnd capped. Watchman McKay of the steamer Kuskanook gave the alarm. .

That leaves the only possibility of arbitration which Is suggested by Sir Edward Grey as a solution of the pending differences.

EDUCATIONAL FUNDS NOT FOR TURKEY (By Dally Nows Leased Wire.) CALCUTTA, Dec. 11.—It was reported that Mohammedans In Calcutta ind elsewhere lit India wore protesting strongly that the money collected for the proposed Mohammedan university and amounting to £200,000, should ho dispatched to Turkey for the use of the sufferers from tho war. As a matter of fact, such a proposal was never considered by Sultan Muhamed Aga Khan and does not In any way meet with his approval, for he is himself anxious that the money should be spent for educational purposes. What bis highness did say, however, was that he hoped that all projects engaging tho attention of thc Mohammedans In India would he laid aside for the moment and that Ibey would concentrate nil their efforts on relieving tho suffering in Turkey of those affected by the war.
