E>. — Aided by the heavy northwest gale of last night the British colliery Hindustan, which went aground on the Westmount shore of the harbor early Friday morning, succeeded in working herself loose, and backed off into deep water at high tide this morning, without assistance. The extent of the damage to the Hindustan was not ascertained, but it is not believed to be very great. TRAIL, Dec 6.—Convicted of shoplifting on three separate counts, two waitresses ln local cafes were given Jail sentences by Magistrate Noble Binns here on Saturday.

The pilfering had been going on since August at least The defendants admitted stealing some of the articles,- while denying the theft of others. T, FAMOUS Clemenceau Is at His Bedside to End; Monet Was in Eighty-sixth Year GIVERNY, France, Dec. 5.—Claude Monet, famous artist and dean of French nature depicters, died at his home here at 8:30 p. m. His lifelong friend, George Clemenceau, was at his bedside when the end came. M. Clemenceau was' so overcome by his loss that he refused to see reporters and sought the seclusion of his own bedroom. Monet was Just past his 86th year, having been born in Paris, November 4, 1840. His principal works were views of picturesque places and cathedrals of France. SPOUT SKA If DUB WINNIPEG* Dec G. — W, D. ingrain, president of the Winnipeg Lacrosse association, and former vice-president of the Ontario Lacrosse association, died here today after a three-weeks' illness. Mr. Ingram was born at Brampton, Ont. and came to Winnipeg about four years ago. Trail Chinese Cafe Owners Lose Cooked Chickens; Cleavers Fly At Disappearing Hands; Chase Futile TRAIL, Dec. 6.—Sporadic soriees by local Chinese armed with carving knives, cleavers and hatchets, which' had mildly alarmed downtown residents during the last few weeks, are not due to any tong war, according to the police. Rather they are due to a chicken war. Mysterious disappearances of cooked chicken, ready to cool, turkeys similarly prepared and other delicacies have caused nearly every cafe proprietor down town both financial loss and mental anguish. Denlsena of the Jungle, the temporary Inhabitant* of deserted shacks, are suspected. But there is no proof. On Friday night Crown Point cafe employees observed violent hands being laid on a chicken through a raised window at the rear. Hands and chicken were withdrawn ere the cleaver descended. There was a sound of three pairs of running feet, and as of three hundred Chinese ln pursuit down to ths river front. But it was dark down there; there were many obstructions—places to hide. The Chinese returned disconsolate, The ohlcken has not, nor have a doien other chickens from other cafes, come home to roost. Hence the war. And, presumably, hence the well fed appearance of some of the boys who look for work in daylight hours. ChurchiU Authorizes Backing of Aggressed Nafto by War Credits LONDON, Dec. 6. — Winston Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer, the •Sunday Express asserts, has authorised the British members of the Lcigoe of Nations finance committee to consider the granting of war credits possibly up to £10.011(1.000, to any member of the league which becomes a victim uf aggression. The Express States tliat this is in connection with the alleged proposal by France and Poland and Finland that the richer powers should pledge themselves beforehand to finance any member -ttate unjustifiably attacked. The Express editorially protests strongly against the British taxpayer being saddled with suoh an unknown responsibility. "Once we are in for ftO.0_tO.000," says the Express, "we muy be in far a hundred or even a thousand millions." IE EO T Train Is Delayed; Crowd at Lunch; King Meets His Queen and Children BUCHAREST, Dec. 5.™Home from her turbulent and perhaps triumphant tour of America, Queen Marie spent Sunday ih the palace with her ailing spouse and sovertgn, King Ferdinand. Although the king's affliction was not severe enough to keep him from meeting his family at the station on their arrival yesterday, well-wishers found little to reassure them in the bulletin issued by Prof. Hartmann, French specialist, and Dr. &«gatld, turfed radio- therapeutist, who have just been called in for consultation. The bulletin read: "The results of the first consultations show that tha»slgmoldal affection from which the king ls suffering presents no modification. The general condition, appetite and sleep are satisfactory." The arrival of Queen Marie, Princess Ileana and Prince Nicolaa at Bucharest lacked the punctual dignity which it is customary to expect at royal functions. The entire diplomatic corps, prelates and native aristocracy, arrayed for the occasion, reached the station at 10 ln the morning to await the train. Shortly before noon they were Informed that the train would not arrive until 2 In the afternoon. Everyone withdrew for lunch. When the welcoming groups came back at 2 o'clock they learned that the train had pulled in at 1 and that the queen had proceeded to the palace wit hthe king. Someone had the presence of mind to order the train held until the king arrived. E E Week-End in Ottawa Spent With the Willingdons; Dance in His Honor OTTAWA, Dec. 5. — Canadian winter weather of a rugged type tod;iy greeted H.1..H. Prince George, the 24- year-old son of King tit-urge and Queen Mary, who is staying at Government House over thu week-end. the guest of the governor-general and Viscountess Willingdon. The storm, however, fa1 led to keep the sailor prince indoors. He braved the stinging east wind which forced the mercury well below the aero mark, to attend divine service at Christ Church cathedral. On his way back to Rideau Hall he drove through a snowstorm Which, starting at noon raged all afternoon and well into the night. The prince had luncheon at Government House, und spent the afternoon and night privately with his hosts. He will leave tomorrow for Saint John, where he will embark for England.

Later he was the guest of the Minto Skating club where he watched the fancy skating, und nkuted himself. In the evening-ho was the honored guest at a dance party at Government House, Whero some 200 young people wefe presented to him. 'The guests were thrilled by the presence of the handsomfc prince. He dunces well, tiie guests relate, but not with the untiring enthusiasm which characterises his older brother, the Prince of Wales. Victoria Suggests That Hon.

F E So Declares Grand Forks Customs Official Appearing Before Probe POLICE ESCORT SOME LIQUOR-LADEN CARS Forks Official States Allowed $15 for Horse to Patrol 80-Mile Boundary Vancouver, Dec, s. — a bonded warehouse which, according to the customs collector at Grand Forks B.C.. exists for the purpose of supplying liquor to be bootlegged into the United States, was discussed before the ous- toms commission Saturday. W. J. Cook, collector of customs at Grand Forks which lies about four miles from tho boundary, was the witness, and he said that the Consolidated Exporters of British Columbia had a warehouse in his town. "Is it of any use except for smuggling liquor into the United States?" asked Judge Wright of the commission. The witness said tt was not, The sitting today was featured by the evidence of Hon. H. H. Stevens, member of parliament for Vancouver Center and former minister of customs, and a prominent member of the pur linen tar y committee on customs last session. Curious of "the Hole" The commission expressed curiosity about "the hole", a gurgo in the hills on the boundary JAw pear • Grand forks, accessible by road both from the Canadian and American side**. "Has lt not occurred to either Canadian or United 8tales custom* departments to place an officer at this point? asked Hon. N. W. Kowell, K. C, counsel to the commi*.«ion. "No,'' replied Mr. Cook. Owing to the death of the only customs officer at Greenwood and tike fact that-business did not warrant continuing tho office at I ha. point, it was closed, according to thw witness. The warehouse at Greenwood ml used as a "furtherance" storage until last May by the Kennedy company whose headquarters are at Vancouver, declared the officer. The method « operation, according to witness wa* that orders were received at the warehouse, the nature of them telegraphed to Vancouver and then an order would be received from here releaninjr the goode, ro.-.ce As Escort Witness admitted that he never went to Greenwood to inspect the place and never heard any rumors that it was a fully stocked warehouse, nor had he heard that sales and deliveries of goods were matfa simultaneously. According to III, Cook, provincial officers formerly accompanied liquor- laden itutomobilea to tho bard* r to sec that the exports were not brought back to the province, but thi* practice had been discontinued, in reply to a question, Mr. Cook stated that American officers must have seen tha liquor cross the border. Mr. Cook said ho did not advise United States officers when liquor left the warehouse. "When it was shipped ex-warehouso you knew it took tho American route? asked counsel. "Yes," replied the witness. "Tho department never asked us to advise them when liquor left the warehouse," he added. tt*r«n* aa Wand Hr. Stevens told the comlssiou that, when minister at Ottawa, he had given Instructions that clearance to United States ports should be denied vessels carrying cargoes of goods which were excluded by the laws of that country. The law officers of the crown, however, had ruled that ln giving these Instructions he had exceeded his authority. Again-said Mr. Stevens, his authority had been questioned when he made a ruling that Canadian distillers must not pack liquor in boxes with bags. At the Ottawa sitting, lt was explained that this practice assisted bootleggers who broke open the liquor packages and stored the contents in the flour or sugar sacks inclosed. Subsequently Mr. Stevens' order was rescinded. There was some laughter when during the examination of Mr. Cook, he explained that'the transportation equipment allowed him to patrol an 80-mile boundary was one horse, or_ rather an allowance of (IS toward the upkeep of a horse. The United States customs men were equipped wlth-automobiles. he said, but they caught very few smugglers. The commission adjourned at 1 o'clock until Monday. DIIlS AT VICTORIA VICTORIA, Dec. 6.—John Cox, 81, whp came to British Columbia with the Royal Engineers in 1859, died here today. He was one of the first to reach the Klondyke after tbe gold strike. Mrs. Hall With Her Brother Willie Now Threaten Libel Suits NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., Dec. 6.—With the threat of libel suits by those who were accused with having slain Rev. Edward Hall and Mrs, Eleanor Mills coming as only a backwash from a storm, the Hall- Mills case today passed Into the limbo of temporary public sensations. It was announced by Robert N. Nellson, one of the counsel for Mrs. Hall and her brothers, Honry and Willie Stevens, who were acquitted Friday after a 30-day trial, that libel suits will be filed "at the proper time" against several newspapers and that criminal action will be taken against tho editor of one publication. s «STILL UP BEFOIEGUSTOHS Consignee of Liquor Cargo Must Be Produced; Investigate Firms Also VANCOUVER, Dec. 5.—Further evidence in the "Chris Moeller" case will, it Is understood, be placed before the royal commission invest! gating administration of the department of customs and excise during the present week. Th* ,*C!ttls Moeller** with her cargo of approximately seventeen thousand cases of liquor on board Is now tledi up at Victoria, following a recommendation to the minister of customs by the commission that the shippers ot the cargo be required to furnish a bond amounting to about $840,000, that the liquor will go to San Bias, Mexico. The commission has also expressed a strong desire to see Kodiguez, the consignee ot the liquor, and has given the parties Interested ten days to produce him. If he does not appear there may be further recommendations to tho minister of customs in regard to the "Chris Moeller," the commission having declared that evidence indicates him to be a "fictitious" person and that the liquor Is intended for consumption in the United States. It is anticipated that the commissioners will be given further light on the operation of the Consolidated Exporters of British Columbia, which operates liquor export warehouses in various parts of the province, during the week. In addition to this, certain commercial corporations are likely to be investigated with a view to finding out more about undervaluation and misdirection of goods imported Into Vancouver and the province gener- lly. Witnesses already examined have stated that there was a good deal of undervaluation here, although actual commercial smuggling was small. Sitting of the commission will probably occupy the whole of next, and possibly a part of the following week. PROVES LARGE Voters Ballot 671 Votes For and 404 Against Beer, Giving Majority 167, OPINION SHOWS GREAT CHANGE SINCE LAST VOTE Heavy Polling From Out-of- Town Sections; Entitles to Eleven Parlors CRANBROOK, B. C, Dec. 5. —Cranbrook on Saturday voted to no longer remain the arid spot in the district, assenting to the introduction of beer parlors for the sale by the glass by the following figures: For beer by the glass, 571; against, 404; spoiled ballots, 33; majority for beer by the glass, 167. GREAT TURNOVER CRANBROOK, B. C., Dec. ,5. —No startling aftermath of the beer vote here seems likely tonight. The general disposition is to accept the decided opinion expressed as a fair indication of present opinion, which admittedly shows a considerable turnover since the last beer vote was taken. This Is in tact the first occasion in many years when a vote in the city of Cranbrook had gone in favor of liquor In any form. There was a noticeably heavy polling of out-of-town voters, every effort being made to get tlio strongest vote out. While it was thought in some nuarters that tho town might go wet, few wero prepared for quite such an emphatic verdict in favor of beer by the glass. The city Is entitled to 11 beer licences according to its population, lt ls stated. Compulsory Liahility Insurance Is Declared Unfair by American ^VANCOUVER, Deo. 5.—Compulsory liability insurance for all auto owners as proposed by the city council ls opposed by Ernest Smith, manager of tho American Auto association, who told the Auto Club of British Columbia the proposed law was unfair and without precedent. Merry Chase for an Unclothed Man Fads on Vancouver Streets VANCOUVER, Dec. 6.—Police searched on Saturday night for a half olothed man threatening to create a panic in Grand View district. Several boys reported to a constable that they had seen a man undress in a lane and run down the street. Beveral women shortly afterward telephoned the police that an unclothed man had been seen near their houses. The boys had stated the man had then chased them, declaring he was going to kill himself. The police found ln the lane all of the man's clothing except an undershirt, but have failed to locate the man. rarxsm dim LONIHJN Dec. 6. — The Rev.

And this year, of all years* we-are coul'ldeut that on December 2Gth there will be a host of Fair Donors who Bhn.ll bo Satisfied that Morris' Selection surpassed all previous successes. "No blame can be attached to any person for the accident," declared the coroner's Jury Saturday morning after 45 minutes deliberation, sitting in Inquest into the death of Frank 'Martin of Nelaon, who died Wednesday as the result of an in- Jury to his spinal column received when he and three other Nelson men were struck when in their motor car by a light engine from Nelson on the C.P.R. crossing at Lower Bonnington, on the night of Sunday, November 7. The Jury reached, the verdict, which alao recommended adoption of some safeguard at that point, after hearing, among other witnesses, two of the three surving victims of the accident, Thomas McLaughlin and John Carlson, and also George Turner, the engine driver. Jack Ryan, the fourth victim, both of whose legs were broken, Is still in hospital and his testimony was not taken. Another witness, .Dr. D. W. McKay, who attended Mr, Martin and later performed the post mortem examination, E. Green, fireman of the engine, and Roland Powell, one of the West Kootenay Power & Light company employees who helped carry the injured men to the company buildings, also gave evidence. Dr. H. H. MacKenzie, district coroner, presided, the inquest being held at the city hall. N]rtiii! Injury Cause of D-otith Dr. McKay testified that Mr. Martin's death was due to hemorrhages of the spinal column, caused by a wound on the left side of the neck. The spinal column was not broken, but the spinal cord was injured. This injury, he stated, caused the paralysis affecting Mr. Martin during the three weeks before his death. Mr. Carlson, wearing his left arm in a sling from a recent accident when he lost the fingers of his left hund when they were caught in a planing machine he was oporattng at Low-er Bonnington, told graphically the story of the crash as he knew it. "I listened for a train, but I did not see or hear anything until we were right at the crossing. The first thing I saw was a beam of light. I was riding in the rear seat. Mr. Martin had no chance to stop the car before the crash," Mr. Carlson said. Everything Fell to Pieces "We seemed to be travellin% at a terrific speed for a distance, and then everything seemed to fall to pieces," he stated, alluding to the car, having been carried 100 feet by the engine, on the drawbar of which It was transfixed. He said that although the fog was thick in places objects a short distance away could be seen. He said he could not hear either the whistle or the bell. Asked whether he thought anyone was to blame for the aocldent, "I don't think so," he replied after a short hesitation. Mr. McLaughlin testified tho auto was i\ closed model. Two of the windows were open. I>rlvinc Four Mike on Hour "Frank was driving about four mothers'! ANO THEIR CHILDREN I ■m—m—IIIM! Mi _ MOTHER'S RIGHTS" One Mother says: Whilo training my children to respect each other's property rights I try to teach them that I also have property rights. They are not free to make use of my* personal possessions without permission. .Much is said and written these days about "Children's Rights" and that la well, but I think it is up to Mother to keep the family from forgetting altogether about "Mother's Rights." A mother who gives up everything to Iher family ls not as unselfish as she is unwise, for she Is really storing up unhapplness for the pampered ones, as well as for herself. Dominion life miles an hour as we neared the track. I was sitting In the front seat at the right-hand side," he said, "I was looking -down the river, watching for a train. I saw the headlight about 25 feet away when the car was right on the track. I didn't see the beam before we got on the track, and I heard no bells nor whistles. "It was a foggy night. The window on my side was open and the one on Frank's side was half-open. "The whistle was blown too far away for us to hear it, but I can't understand why we did not hear the bell. Saw Only Headlight "I don't remember the crash. The last tiling I saw was the headlight above me. I remember nothing more until I came to lying by the car down the bank." Mr. McLaughlin declared Mr. Martin was the most careful driver he 'had ever ridden with, and he thought no one was to blame for the accident. Heard Whist lo Blow Mr. Powell, the first aid man, testified to seeing the engine pass the power plant, and to hearing the whistle blown Just as it neared the station. He thought anyone who was walking at the crossing could have heard it, but doubted whether anyone in a car could have heard it. He heard no bell. Turner Blew Whistle Mr. Turner, who stated he has been an engineer and fireman since 1909, declared it was too foggy on the night of the accident for him to see the headlights of the car until almost the moment of the crash. He was going about 20 miles a'n hour at the time of the crash, and stopped within 160 feet. He blew the whistle about 80 rods from the crossing. The car was carried along by the engine for about 100 feet, and then fell off, rolling down the bank. He declared a car would have to be within 10 feet of the ties before its occupants could see an eastbound train, a big rock bluff obscuring any view of the track. Fireman Kays* Bell Rang Continuously Fireman Green, who said he was making up the fire when the engine hit the car, said he did not see the car until the engine stopped. He stated the bell on the engine was ringing from the time the whistle was blown until the engine stopped. The Verdict The jury returned the following verdict: "That the death ot Frank Martin, on December 1, resulted from injuries sustained In the car which he was driving being struck by a light engine at the crossing at Lower (lionnlngton on the night of November 7. "We are of the opinion that no blame can be attached to any person Cor the accident. "We strongly recommend that some provision be made Whereby -further accidents of this kind may be avoided at this point."

'JUDY'S MAN' Washington's Social Whirl and Official IAfe Are the Background of This Fascinating Love Story By HELEN BERGER Copyright, 192*, by the Penn Publishing Co. "Failures Are Shabby, Sad!" If only she might comfort Dad! j-What could she say? Remind him ^that tomorrow morning things would not look so dark! Reassure him of her faith in him? Beg him to talk [it over with Honey? Surely Honey | could convince him of his talent! [Never once did Judy's faith in him waver. He was bound to win! Suddenly, stumbling, she said, "No one lives without a reason for living, Dabs. You haven't found your reason yet, but it's there. Some day your i big chance will come. If it isn't to be in writing, then it will be ln something else! Why, Dabs, you , can't fail- There's something so ■ brave—so—so gay about you! Fall- j ures are shoddy, shabby, sad!" At that Dabs broke out passionately. "But I want to write! Easy [enough, Jude, to talk about my waiting for my chance, but I'd rather be dead than live and not amount |to something! Than be like Harvey Metz. Would you want me to be like that, Jude?" "You couldn't be like him!" Judy's voice was indignant. "Selfishly enough I could almost find it in my heart to wish for war," Dabs said dully. "I've always dreamed of going out ln a blaze of glory. I thought it would be another sort of glory, but—who knoWB?" "Oh, Dabs! Dabs!" Judy cried compassionately. Suddenly Dabs straightened his shoulders. "I'm a nice one!" he cried with an attempt at gayety. "Just a little birthday present for you, Judy, by behaving like this!" "But Dab»7-" uncertainly. "Run along to bed now. Get your beauty sleep. Goodness knows you need It." It was the old Joke between them, bravely spoken. "Oh, I know I'm as ugly as the Ugly Duckling!" Judy responded, half-deceived. "One of Betts' Beautiful Beasties, eh?" He bent and kissed her. In the doorway Judy paused to look back. He waved to her from the threshold of Honey's room. Gay, gallant, charming Dabs! For a long moment she leaned against her closed door, shutting her heart upon her own, unreasoning happiness. It was selfish to be happy, she thought. Then, at last, she yielded to her thoughts. She stole across to a lit* tie luctiucr-box and opened It. Inside ft was a meager stock of childish treasures and at the very bottom a neatly folded square of fine linen. From the square two fine, beautiful initials looked up at her, J.D. "He laughed at my animals!" she said softly to herself. "He did! He liked them! They made him laugh Poor dear! And he looked as though he needed to laugh!" Was there anything left In that tall man with the tired eye and the grim mouth of the little boy she had loved? Of the shining little fairy prince? If she could only know! The memory of his face thrilled her. A fairy prince, truly, in looks. But what of the things behind his face? Was he stuffy and ordinary, as she had told Tommy tonight ? Did he like jokes? Could he be merry over nothing at all and sad over the gay song of a caged bird? Could he see beauty in sacrifice and ugliness in certain sorts of success? Would he believe in Honey and Dabs, as she believed in them? Or would he be contemptuous of Dabs* shabbiness? K. P. Hall, Tra3, Wednesday, Dec. 8 Boxing! Boxing!! Boxing!!!

MAIN EVENT—10 ROUNDS—MAIN EVENT Good Preliminaries Bf Trail Champ and Baraekman Matched for Kelson Ring on Saturday Next NO BELT UP, STATES ARTHUR WITH EMPHASIS But Bout Will Be for Middleweight Title; Trail People All Excited Too TRAIL, Dec. 5.—Ernie Arthur of Trail, title holder, and Mervln Baraekman ot Cashmere, Wash., chal lenger, are to wrestle for the middleweight championship of Canada on Saturday. Arthur has accepted the contract offered him by the promoter, the Trail Athlectlc syndicate. Baraekman has accepted by phone the offer made to him. The bout will be for the championship, providing Baraekman weighs in at the ringside at no more than IBS pounds. Considerable excltment ls evident here over tbe prospect of the bout. It ls partly occasioned by the noisy demonstration of Baraekman, who declares he is after the championship belt) which Arthur claims has become his own prqperty, as he has fulfilled the conditions of the don. •B. Belt Jnst Out Interviewed Saturday regarding the belt, Arthur declared he is preparing to state the history of the belt and the exact conditions that en abled him to claim it as his personal property. He further declares he does not use the belt for advertizing pur poses. It has reposed ln a safety deposit vault in Fort William for the years Arthur has lived out west. At his request It has been forwarded. It ls now being cleaned and prepared for its first exhibition here by a local jeweler. "When Baraekman says his claim to the belt or the title are as good as mine he Is ridiculous. I have put up the title many times. have never yet refused to meet any middleweight for the championship of Canada. I have defeated every challenger for the title since 1914, including Sam Pro k as, ex-world's champion. The belt, however, ls my own. I wrestle for the title. So does Baraekman. The belt is not wagered in any way on this bout."

CATCHES FIRE Propelled in Flames From Garage ; Chemical Fixes It A short circuit In the wiring Is thought to have been the cause of the Nelson Brewing company's truck catching fire Saturday night at 8:46 In the company's garage in the alley between Hoover and Latimer streets Just after it had been put in the garage by Driver Charles Watts. Mr. Watts put the truck in the garage and locking the doors was about to leave when he noticed a burst of flame shoot out from the interior of the garage. He Instantly broke the lock to investigate. Calls for help brought Mr. King, living above the garage, to his assistance and together the two men shoved the car out of the building, after which ,Mr. King raced down to the fire hall to report the fire. The brigade turned a chemical on the truck and the fire was over. The only damage was to the insulation and front board of the truck, which were burned, and the windshield, which was cracked. This is the first call the fire department has had for over a month. St Andrew'stlub Arranges for the Christmas Cheer TRAIL, Dec. 6.—St. Andrew's Churchmen's club tonight appointed five members to take charge of the first Christmas dinner which the club will stage mainly for the social enjoyment for men away from their homes.

TAfiHUMTRESTLE Skids on Frosty Boards on Approach; New Grade Suggested Returning home from Nelson in a light touring car, R. Kerwan and L. Humphrey of Trail narrowly escaped serious Injury Sunday morning about 3:30, when the car they wtre riding ln plunged through the railing of the trestle leading onto the bridge crossing the Kootenay river at Taghum. The car had gone about 20 feet along the trestle when, lacking chains, it skidded on the frost-covered boards and plunged over the side of the trestle to the ground, a distance of ten feet, landing on its side. Messrs. Kerwan and Humphrey walked back to Nelson, where they remained until boarding the noon train yesterday for Trail. The car, when towed in to Nelson, was found to be smashed almost beyond repair. Three cars have gone over this trestle this year, two just above where the accident occurred Sunday morning. The fence below the premises occupied by Mr. Leason has been broken three times by cars. It has been suggested that ln view of all these accidents the original road survey, which was made about the time the construction of the present Taghum bridge was decided on, should be used for the construction of a new road which would eliminate the Taghum hill. This road would leave the present one about two miles from Nelson, and would have a grade, It Is said, not exceeding 3 ft per cent. The length of the new road to be constructed would be about two and a half miles. TRAIL, Dec. 6.— Jimmie Cottrell, the Spokane battler who is due to meet Frank Hilt of Trail here ln the main event of Andy McDermott's boxing .«ho\v ln the K. P. hall Wednesday is due to arrive with his manager this afternoon. Cottrell will lose no time In gett'nS down to business. He will stage a workout in the Pwartz hall tomorrr.7 evening. This arrangement has been made hy the promoter to give all fans a chance to size up the invader, who is rated as the best and most popular welterweight in Washington. Cottroll won golden opinion for himself when he defeated Scotty Inkster of Vancouver at the Nelson minins convention In July. That he has won and holds the same respect among his home town fans is evident from the sport writers of Spokane. A recent story in the Spokesman-Review gave prominence to the Cottrell-Hilt bout here. It acclaimed Cottrell as the beat ln the Kootenais across '.ho line. It accorded Hilt the same ratlig on this s?de. The bout, it stated, would determine a much debatel question.— Who holes the waiter w. ight supremacy in all the Kootenays. WHI Decide Much Trail fan-s have watched with pleasure Hilt's rise to fistic prominence. If is half dozen bouts in tM last six months produced no opponent to make him Extend himself. If h* can beat the Cottrell hoy, whose class is undisputed, hia victory will put him in the ranks of fighters good enough to be considered In the big centers. Some good preliminaries havo betn arranged. Stan Alibone, now honeymooning, game and clever 126-pounder ls matched up. His contract is signed but his opponent is unnamed. Nothing will induce the promoter to disclose the name of Stanley's opponent. Ho simply smiles, and says, "This one will give Stanley the bout of hi career. Don't miss seeing It."

Growers' Contracts Not Annual but May Provide Cancellation A 2-months' cancellation clause, which would permit a contract that had been ln operation, to he terminated, an entirely different thing from the yearly basis which coast newspapers appear to have assumed is contemplated by the directorate of the Associated Growers of British Columbia, ls all that is behind the stories being broadcast on the matter, J. J. Campbell, Kootenay director stated yesterday. The coast newspapers nave been featuring the supposed departure as a tactical move in an alleged war the associated ls supposed to be waging to out- maneuver the Independent apple shippers ln the Okanaitan. Mr. Campbell stated that when the startling announcement of thin new move that was so widely heralded, came out, he was much mystified, as it did nor quite accord with the Information hf had of his own knowledge. OtftM Direct ftutara«nt Asked byr The Dally News to discuss the new departure. Mr. Campbell wired the headquarters at Vernon, and received confirmation of his impresFion that the report was incorrect< a statement made having been misinterpreted. 'The fact is," said Mr, Campbeit, "the form of contract is to be considered at the next directors' meeting, and the executive, according to present plans, will recommend that a 2-months" cancellation clause be incorporated ii As we all know, our present contract hi for five years, and cancellation Is not provided for under it" Rowdies marred the Dublin Armis* tire day celebrations. rmm for catarrh arhaa mtkud i» o opooo or tnoffad op tho oom and vapors inkalod.

Experience Teaches Bowing to Providence the United Grain Grower* have taken advantage of the recent destruction of the sawmill of ihe "!'. 0. ft Sawmills" at Hut ton, B. C, to retire from the lumber manufacturing business, this decision having just been announced by the wires. It was just alter the war that the United Grain Growers, convincing themselves that the commercial sawmills of the country wer*^ robbing their prairie customers, went in'.o the sawmill venture, to get some of the huge profits made. So far as recalled, the mill lost money from the start. At any rate, the venture was a loss. If experience teaches, as it is said to do, there should bo a number of capable farmers who are prominent In the United Farmer movement on the prairie, who from now on will regard the lumber manufacturers of this province, particularly of the mountain territory, with more charitable feelings than they were wont to da. IF A YOUNG MAN IS HUNTING FOR A WIFE, PETTING PARTIES ARE VERY USEFUL FOR PURPOSES OF ELIMINATION. "I'm no longer a cowcatcher," said that part of a locomotive, "but I've stopped many a flivver driver's bull." No;e to government: Parents find it easier to enforce their laws if they themselves are not tyrannical and petty. You need sympathy and find a man with a full heart? Rest assured, his stomach once was empty. Nothing seems so important if you're old enough to remember a dozen controversies that enraged the world yesteryear.

BABTOV, MD. Escalloped Fish—This makes a splendid luncheon dish. It will be called for In the Saturday luncheon menu, so more fish than is needed for one meal should be prepared for dinner on Friday night. Flake cooked leftover white fish lightly (cod in this case, but any variety will do) removing all skin and bone. Make a white sauce as follows: Melt two tablespoons of butter, rub into it two tablespoons of flour, and stir ln gradually two cups of sweet milk; cook till thickened over moderate heat, then season with a dash of celery salt and pepper. Stir three cupB of flaked cooked fish into this sauce, pour the mixture into a but- tered baking dish, and cover top with buttered crumbs, using at least one cupful of crumbs). Bake 15 minutes In a quick oven and serve hot. Celery-Cranberry Salad—Cook one cup of cranberries in a little syrup made of equal parts of sugar and water. Leave them whole. When tender, drain and mix with one and one-half cups of diced celery. Heap on lettuce and add an ordinary French dressing with which you have mixed a little of the syrup drained from the cooked cranberries. Serve cold. Caramel Spanish Cream—Scald | one-half tablespoon of granulated j gela.in with three cups of sweet milk. Have ready a caramel flavoring made as follows: Put one-half cup of granulated sugar into a small frying pan and let melt over good heat (burn). Then add one-third cup of boiling water, which will cause the hot sugar to fizz and lump; continue to cook, stirring constantly, till the lumps melt, then strain the liquid through a fine-meshed sieve. Add this flavoring to the hot milk. Put the yolks of three eggs into a bowl, beat them well, and add to them one-half cup of additional granulated sugar and a pinch of salt; turn this mixture into the hot milk, place over boiling water, and let cook till thickened, stirring constantly. Do not cook beyond the point where It will "coat a spoon" or the mixture may "whey." Remove from heat, add one teaspoon of vanilla, fold in three stiffly whipped egg whites and turn Into individual -molds. Cool and chill before serving. If desired whipped cream may be served on these dainty little puddings, but it is not at all necessary to their dellciousness. Tomorrow—Answers to Inquiries.

Real Development I have spoken before about examining boys at a preparatory school and how Interested the parent* naturally were in the physical condition of their boys. The progress physically really meant more to the parents than the progress mentally, nnd rightly ao. And yet I often felt that perhaps one of the regulations of the college was the biggeat factor In the ill round development of *he boy. TM* w&9 that not only muBi every youngster tuke exercise, Lui that he must play the various games,and thuico»e into piiysical caniaci with hoys his own age and weight. Suppose a hoy floes eat pood nourishing food, get his regular «se«!t»; and Rood sound sleep, how much does his parents, his teacher! know ahout him, or how much does he kn iw about himself? Suppose alao he pays attention in school, does his work conscientiously during the study period, ami stands well ln his clashes. Is this all the training thesf is for a boy? Tills regulation of sleep, food, and exercise, and -(his regulation of study does not necessarily touch those oth"r parts of him that will make or mar him in years to come. What do l mean? That a young-;* r may come of nervous parents. He may be a retiring sort of hoy. He may have little emotional disturbances, little fears about thing*. He may avcid other boys and get "ff too much to himself. He may he so homesick that if his home were near he would walk there, if necessary. All these little things if not checked will actually increase in severity, and the boy will not be getting a real education to fit Mm for life But If he daily enters Into various games where h* gets n hump a minute, sometimes a Krsps or cut, fights honorably and courageously for his school, he ls not only getting the physical and mental tr.lining necessary at that *ch<"■:. but ll going to become a normal man. And a normal man. free from nervous ailments, is the need*of our land now more than ever before. TORONTO DEBUTANTES Out Before Election Twenty Years Ago When We All Fly "More flying, he said, would knit people closer togolher, eliminate many linguistic difficulties, broaden the vision of men, and improve the race." Sir Alan Cobham, British flying ace. who is now commercially pushing the small moth planes, which he believes will som-? day become sky flivvers, is rather extravagant in his estimate of what flying will accomplish. Take the English channel. If those crossing it dally hy the steamboat services were to be Increased 10 times, the impression made upon the linguistic difficulties as between Britain and France would hardly be eliminated. What influence channel flying can hav* on the matter it is difficult to conceive. If there were 100 iky flivvers for every plane now existing, they would not he a drop in the bucket as compared with automobiles, say, as an Influence for "knitting people closer together," and for "broadening men's vision." Any kind of transportation has those trends, but flying not a whit more inherently than the others, and in bulk It could not touch them. The Improvement of the race that li to come from flying is even harder to identify. Doctors now claim the race ls in danger of losing its power Much of the nervous strain under which we live is caused by watch-' ing Mussolini and waiting for it to happen.

In the Abey-Clark case, ltt which Prank T. Abey laid a charge against John Cameron Clarke of criminal libel, baaed on la letter which said Abey might keap certain money if he needed it badly enough to make him a thief and a liar. Magistrate Ronald Hewat i committed' Clarke for trial at a higher court, which means the crown will bring it for trial at the spring a a sizes at Nelson. * Clarke Wee on Ball Clarice, -whosd defence was not disclosed at th« preliminary hearing that was practically concluded Thursday, Immediately through his counsel, Archie Donaghy of Nelson. applied ln county court before Judge J. R. Brown of Grand Forks for ball, and was released on ball of $1000. The Clarke-Abty case established Clarke's contention that he had been damaged by tho assault allegedly made upon him by three members of the Abey family, the assault having taken place on October 16, subsequent to an altercation between Mr. Abey Sr. and Clarke over the letter. Judge Brown, Frank T. Abey and his younger son, Harry R. Abey, guilty of the assaults as alleged, and granted Clarke damages against them ln }100 and costs. The case agaihst the third defendant, Frank H. Abey, the elder son, who had not been charged with actually striking Clarke, was dismissed, but he was required to pay hla own costs. Regrettable Case, Says Judge In giving Judgment, hia honor declared the case was an unfortunate one, a misunderstanding having arisen over a sum of $20 between the litigants who as citizens and honorable men wqpld not want to extort a dollar that they were not entitled to from any one. He aaid the letter that waa the start of the altercation was rather insulting, but the application of the terms in it was conditional. He found that the assaults had been committed, except In the case of Frank H. Abey, and that damages were due, but not in the sum of $1000 claimed by the plaintiff. Six Independent witnesses supported the story that Clarke gave on the stand, these being Thomas Allen, Samuel Bruce, E. B. Flenner, Peter KJoehle, Charles Short and F. G. Aylwin. The defence witnesses were the three defendants, and George Lin- gard and James Spiers. The main facts of the occurrence were not disputed by either side. W. W.

It was from an official in daily touch with our friends on the farms—talks with 'em over the fence. 'Neighborliness,' he wrote, "means more to our city than our undoubted industrial, commercial and transportation advan tages. Promotion of a friendlier feeling can't help but redound to the credit-of the business men of the city and the farms. Your method must necessarily be farfeaching in scope and influence."

I.—A well oiled combination attack Saturday night carried the capital's Senatorial squad In the National Hockey league to a 4 to 1 victory over the Montreal Canadlens, lengthened the undefeated record of the locals for this season and added to their point lead In the circuit race. The fast skating habitants were not as far outplayed as the score might indicate. They, too, had a smooth combination machine with the sparkling Howie Moronz as a pivot operating on the fee, but so formidable was the back checking and other defensive cogs of the red- white and black team that th© efforts of the visitors were forced down to defeat. Nighbor _te (Mu. The game served as a denial to the well-worn belief that Ottawa has a one-man team with Frank Nighbor poke checking center, as the king pin. Nighbor was not in uniform owing to a severe cold, but "Hooley" Smith, regular left wing, stepped Into the breach, checked charging Canadiens and led hia wings in convincing style. But for a major penalty which 'Hooley" drew for slugging La- rochelle as the second period ended, Ihe game was' fairly clean.

IS LEADER M IN . ENGLISH RAGE Sunderland Topples; Huddersfield Registers Eleventh Draw CHICAGO CARDS BEAT ST. PAULHOCKEYTEAM Thrilling Rally In Third Prated Tl<* I'p Omm and Chicago Wins In Overtime LONDON, Dec. 5.—With three points only separating the first from the -seventh team in the standing of the first division, English Soccer league, tho race for the championship, which Is nearing the halfway mark, has assumed a tenseness more characteristic of the end of the season play than of mid-season. Saturday's games Baw Sunderland toppled from their place as league leaders and the crown passed for the first time in years to Newcastle United. This upset came about by the defeat of the Wests id ers at Derby. A victory by Newcastle United over West Ham gave the Tynesiders the two points necessary to draw alongside Sunderland as far as aggregates are concerned, but a vastly- better goal average put Newcastle up ahead. Eleventh Draw Huddersfield Town registered their eleventh draw game on Saturday by splitting a goalless tie with Manchester United at Old Trafford. With the exception of the game at Liverpool a month ago Huddersfield have drawn every encounter played away from'home. In spite of this the Yorkshire men find themselves In third place, running even with Burnley. The last named club scored a victory over The Wednesday yesterday, taking the points by the only goal registered In the Same. The second division saw Swansea Town lose their place as leaders when Hull City gained full points at the expense of Portsmouth, while the Welshmen were dividing the issue at Southampton. The feature engagement of this string was that at Preston, where for the, first time this B&ason the North End were defeated on their own ground. Their conquerors were Manchester City, who took the honors by four goals to two. The battle for promotion to the first division Is wide open with eight teams well in the running. Hull City are present favorites, with Swansea running neck and neck with them, but Middlesboro, Man Chester City, Portsmouth, Preston Northend, Kottl Forest, Southampton, Old Ham and Chelsea all represent forces to be seriously reckoned with. In the Clapton Orient-Grimsby Town game some excited fans invaded the field In a demonstration against one of the Grimsby players. Attendances at the games were again low, about 58,000 fans witnessing the encounters. OLD COUNTRY FOOTBALL RESULTS CHICAGO, Dec. 5.—Staging a thrilling rally in the third period and counting twice in the extra periods the Cardinals, Chicago's entry in the American Hockey association, won from the St. Paul Saints here Saturday by 4 to 2. Neither side scored in the opening period, Rice proved a sensa- tfon for St. Paul in the second period, when J9e scored a goal in 40 seconds on a pass from Geran. The score stood 2 to 0 in favor of tl>e Saints until the third period, when Brydson made* Chicago's first score in 16 minutes.

UPHOLD REFEREE EASTERN TITLE Score Is 10 to 7; Rugger Game Is Replete With Thrills COLD WEATHER MAKES PLAY HARD; FUMBLES Regina Not Going After Title, So Senators Will Assume the Honor Illinois Commission Says Official Did Right; Flowers Gets Criticism CHICAGO, Dtec 6.—The Illinois .-tat>- athletic commission today backed up the decision of Benny Yanger, referee of the 10-round championship fight here Friday night, which resulted in the pissing of Tiger Flowers, the Georgia deacon, and the resurrection of Mickey Walker to the middleweight throne. The decision was so stunning thut it was booed by a majority of the 10,000 spectators and criticized today by five of Chlcago'.s newspapers. John Rlgheimer, chairman of the commission, accepted the statement ■of Ynnger that ■ his decision was strlcfly honorable. Furthermore, Chairman Rlghejmer let it be known ln no uncertain words that he personally viewed Yanger's decision as an unquestionably honest verdict; tut perhaps one of poor-i_hhtgment. Kearni Leaves Money Behind Walk Miller, manager of the dethroned middleweight -champion, was given Flowers' share of the $85,927 gate, and Jack Reams, manager ot the middleweight titleholder, would have been paid off, but Reams hur rledly left lor Philadelphia to appear in the suit on ilQaday against Tex Rickard Involving Jack Dempsey's purse in the fight lost to Gene Tun ney. In 1'anger's statement of masons for awarding the decision to Walker, these points stood out:. Flowers slapped and cuffed wKh his open glove after a warning before the start of the fight to hit with the closed fist. > Flowers sought to' claim a foul in the fourth round, but fought viciously when Yanger refused to recognize a foul; that Flowers' attempt to claim a foul was unsportsmanlike. Flowers opened the gash over Walker's left eye by a butt, and by "flicking" with the open glove reopened the wound in each succeeding rounil. F.owers also was guilty of using the heel of his gloves, an Illegal blow which should not be counted in the scoring of points. That Walker scored a clean knockdown, displayed aggressiveness and was doing all the clean boxing. That Flowers was guilty of sticking the thumbs of his gloves in Walker's eye. Yanger did not know that he was to referee until he got the nod from Chairman Itlghelmer as Flowers and the challenger crawled into tha ring. Yanger, along with three other referees, were at the ringside, and none of them knew which would be picked. The commission was not prepared to say whether it felt it had power to reverse the decision, but the indications are that such a procedure would on.y bring ridicule upon the governing body of boxing in • this state. There may be further developments In the situation before the next mealing of the commission, which Is ■scheduled for Tuesday, but this m>.y be regardod as unlikely. Roger Conti, young French biniard- ist, recently set a new world's record for the 18.2 balk line game by making a run of 732 in a match against Louis Cure at the Olyrapia club in Paris. Qdouard Horemans held the previous record of 701. Flowers' Manager Has Protest but Will Not Ask Reverse Decision CHICAGO, Deo. 5. — Walk Killer, manager of Tiger Flowera, announced today that while h* protests, lie will not demand that the Illinois athlete cnrnmlaslon reverse the decision of Refer me, Bennie Tang*r, which rriday night gave the Geo ill* fighter's middleweight crown to Mickey Walker of Xew Tork, The decision, Miller protest*, sad wi.ich was generally greeted with boos at Ibe end of the 10- roand encouater, was aooepted by the state boerd yesterday after reviewing the matter. Twenty Minutes Long Enough for Nelson Men to Bag a Deer Very different from the luck of most nlmrods was that which enabled G. L, Remmerling and C. J. Currier, Nelson it es, to bag a fine two-point buck 20 minutes after leaving their car yesterday morning at Olade. Mr. Remmerling jokingly stated last night that they "had the buok tied up out there." TORONTO, Dec. 5.—In a game replete with thrills of the variety fostered by the block kicks and fumbles, Ottawa Senators won the rugby championship of eastern Canada here Saturday by trouncing Varsity of Toronto, 10-7. As Regina, western Canada winners, are unlikely to coino east to try for the title, yesterday's victory practically means that the Senators are again Dominion champions. The Ottawa line was superior to Varsity's but the Collegians' backfield stood up well against Miller's barrage of kicks. Tubman played part of the game and his work was good, considering his sorely Injured knee which is kept in a strapped appliance. The Senators began to assert their supremacy early in the first period when they chalked up two singles in quick succession. Both were rouges, made when Ottawa tacklers bore down on Sinclair and Trimble behind the line, after they had taken Miller's hoists. Varsity secured their first point when Miller fumbled a punt on his 25 yard line and a Varsity man dribbled it down the field. The Ottawa holster outdistanced his opponent In the dash over the line for the ball and fell on it, Varsity getting credit only for a single whereas they would have had a touchdown had one of their players beaten Miller to the ball. Varsity evened a lew mlnuies later. Fails to Convert The first buck, giving Ottawa seven yards, Lynch took the ball himself on the next down and just squirmed through for a touch. He failed to make the convert. Because of the effect of the cold on the players' hands, fumbles were frequent throughout the game. Four Ottawa players lost the ball In the second session and Varsity were able to convert four Ottawa fumbles into the same number of points for themselves. Each of Ihem occurred around Ottawa's 25, and each time Varsity got possession of the ball there, they kicked for a rouge. The champions came back for the third session with confidence. With Trimble off, Miller kicked at every opportunity and the Senators were able to add three to their score. Miller's first boot was to the deadline about half way through the period after Ottawa had carried the Varsity line 30 yards down the field. Miller next kicked a touch goal and the third point came when Varsity fumbled a short punt by Miller and dribbled It across the line. The final period was featured by Ottawa's endeavor to hold their lead and the Collegian's desperate attempt to get within scoring distance of the Ottawa goal. Suzanne Suffers From Cold at Portland and Is Forced From Games PORTLAND, Om, Pea 6.— Suzanne Lenglen, French teante champion, reeled off the court at the Coliseum toot night after winning the first w» of her exhibition match with Mary BL Browne and collapsed when she ren-ched her drewdng room. The C. C. Pyle troupe manager announced from the floor that MteH Lenglen would not be able to continue tho match or to appear in a schnrtulcdl mixed doubles set later. The axmouc- er said Wm Lenglen was suffering from a bad cold. DULUTH WINNER OVER DETROITERS Slaallng Hockey Shown Fans on Du. luth Ice; Opening Game of Season; Munro Scores for Detroit DULUTH, Dec. 6.—Exhibiting the best brand of hockey displayed on Duluth ice in several seasons, the home club defeated the Detroit Greyhounds 3 to 1 here last night in the opening game of the local season. Duluth counted once in each period. The first tally was of a questionale variety due to the gong ending the period as the score was being counted. A discussion between the officials resulted in Duluth being granted the marker. Lewis counted the goal, slapping Loucks' rebound against the meshes. Duluth tallied the second time at the midway mark of the second period through Mike McGoodman's spectacular and individual play . Munro counted the lone Detroit goal in the third period. The Home's gathered the marker back again in a few moments, when Seaborn and Dunfleld teamed to beat Walsh. Minneapolis Battles Winnfpeg to Scoreless Tie in Winnipeg Rink WINNIPEG, Dec, 5.—In a game featured by close checking and brilliant goal-tending, Winnipeg and -Minneapolis battled to a scoreless tie here last night in an American league hockey feature. Minneapolis had the edge on the play but Gardiner's work In the local cage made their efforts fruitless. The game was fast throughout. Ralph Greenleaf, of New York, has won the world's pocket billiard championship for the seventh time. He regained the title in Philadelphia recently aft*r a lapse of only one yfear, by defeating Erwin Rudolph, of Chicago. With the title went a cash prise of 91200, a percentage of the gate reeeipts, a diamond-studded gold medal* and a contract for one year at f2W a month, FOURTH DEFER!

Halifax In Clutches HALIFAX, Dec 5. — Winter swooped down over the maritime provinces with sudden intensity yesterday and today, bringing snow and gales accompanied by sub-zero weather, which is general throughout the country. A bliitard has raged continuously off the coast since last Thursday night resulting in several marine mishaps, the latest to be reported being the loss of the schooner Atlanta, which crashed on the ledges of Low Point, at the entrance to Sydney harbor, and quickly became a total lose, Tho British steamer Hillcroft was off the Newfoundland coast tonight with all fuel supplier exhausted and her woodwork sacrificed tn keep the fire* going_ while the Halifax tug Ocean Eagle' searched for her. Snow ranging in depth from an inch to nearly a foot was reported generally from all points, while the mercury went to pipe below zero in some places, and serb Weather was common. The severe weather came suddenly after n prolonged period of Indian summer starting with a slight snowfall and g&ln last Thursday night. The cold snap reached its height this affrnoon when the lowest readings were recorded. The Saint John tug Osprey, which grounded in Canso harbor before the storm broke, became a total loss last night when the continuous gales resulted in her breaking in two. Ontario Bluff era TORONTO, Dec. 5. — Ontario bad its first real taste of winter over the weekend when a snow and windstorm, driving in from northern Michigan, swfpt the province fr/>m Windsor to Ottawa, leaving a blanket of snow nine inches deep in most places. It was the heaviest early December snowfall southern Ontario has experienced in some years, and with it came temperatures that registered zero and below in some places, and Just a few points above in others. Steam railway officials were alert, and had plows out as Boon as conditions became threatening. Although north- am and western points did not experience the heavy snowfall, cold weatner was general from Saskatchewan east. Battleford, Moose Jaw and Regina, Sask.. with 14 below shared the dubious honor of being tne coldest spot in the Dominion, Saskatoon being close second with 12. Cochrane and Quebec registered 10 below, Winnipeg and Ottawa six Parry Sound, Montreal and Halifax four, and Kingston's thermometer registered zero. Wont BLUxard Midland reported one of the worst blizzards in the history of the Great Lakes. The only vessel reported in difficulty there was the American steamer Uphlg, which encountered heavy ice about three miles off Red Rock. The tug Strathbogie had gone to its assistance. Midland harbor was reported heavily coated with lea. As soon as it sees the steamer Uphlg to safety, the tug Strathbogie which is also an 1c breaker, will proceed to tbe upper laket? to help in releasing the vessels caughi by Ice near the Soo. •hipping- Still 1 A midwinter gale was reported •weeping over Georgian Bay, preventing any movement among the lake vessels. Aside from the fact that traffic through the St. Mary's river is at a standstill, due to the stalling of the boats in the Ice around Neeblsh Island. there could be little movement due to the high winds. A snowstorm of almost blizzard proportions makes navigation lb any part of the lakes a very hazard- oua operation, On the St Lawrence, shipping wu\ practically at a standstill. At Kingston three Montreal boats were forced to Stay in harbor until the storm abated.

Germany, represented by Gustav Stresemann, her foreign minister, his come to Geneva grieved that despUe the Locarno treaty and the reich's entry into the League of Nation?, the allies still maintain 80,000 troops in the Rhineland and still insist on interallied control of German armaments. Germany w:inis allied control abandoned and la willing to substitute the right of investigation of German _t- maments by the league provided such control does not offend German prestige. On their part the allies. <?- peeially France, are worried over Germany's potential.war strength, due to her great population and the excessive activity of German associations which are organizing Orrrnn manhood along alleged military linen. Dr. Stresemann said today that Germany was becoming MEuptratad at the allied suspicion and hesitancy to treat Germany on a basis of equality. He was alao apprehensive of the crumbling of the political groups in the reichstag which have heretofore been backing him imrcservecliy. Seven foreign ministers have arrived in Geneva and Becret conferences can he held outside the council chamber. The ministers are Dr. Stresemarm. Germany; _\_. Briand, France; Sir Austen Chamberlain, Great Britain; M. Vandeldte, Belgium; M. Zialuski. Holland; Dr. Eenez, Czocho-Slovakla and Jonkheer Von Karnebeek, Holland. CHINESE SHOES Dr. Auld Depicts Medical Work Among the Poor of China May Be Recalled The feature of the meetk-g last night In Memorial hall of the Churchmen's club was an illustrated lecture on "The Life and Work of Medical Missions in China," by Dr. F. M. Auld. Dr. Auld, with the aid. of lantern slides depicting actual conditions In China, gave a graphic description of the life of the poorer classes In China. Among these slides were some showing young and old with grave physical deformities, and the results of ravages of disease among those who had not received medical attention. Dr. Auld said that the wonderful work being done in China by the missions has expanded greatly during recent years. He also said the Chinese people who were thf recipients of benefits from the missions were deeply grateful and recognized the work being done for them. R. Q. Joy operated the lantern.

(5903) ——————~ THE NJ3LB0N DAILY NEWS, MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER «/ 19W ■»' ftgrMiae SB! jvlarkets Slump at New York Due to Alleged Deal by Chicago Pool; Later Denied JjfEW YORK, Dec 6. — Heavy selling of Baldwin Locomotive, which broke train 164 to 154, quickly checked the upward movement in Saturday's stock m^fket, although a few Issues showed marked Independent* strength, leaving final quotations irregular. Trading was In fairly heavy volume for a half-holiday session. Violent fluctuations ln Baldwin followed publication of a report that a Chicago pool had amassed a paper profit of $10,000,000 ln the stook, but this was later denied. At 1(4 the stock duplicated the record high established before the semi-annual dividend of $8.50 was deducted a few daya ago. The closing price of 164 % represented a net decline of TH points. Recent accumulation of the stock has been attributed in most quarters to the unusually heavy volume of new orders booked by the company in the last few weeks, and by persistent rumors, frequently denied, that the sale of Its valuable Philadelphia real estate would be arranged next year and that common stockholders would receive a special distribution. Sharing speculative interest with Baldwin was International Harvester, which jumped nearly 8 points to 149T4, the highest price since the stock was listed on the exchange In 1918. Famous Flayers also developed a sudden outburst of strength by moving up nftre than 3 points, to 119\ on reports of un- usually heavy receipts from the new Paramount theater recently opened in th(s city. Kelsey Wheel Jumped 4H points on a few sales and substantial gains also were recorded -by By-Products Coke, Looso Wiles Biscuit and Manhattan Electric Supply. Motors started upward under leadership of General Motors, Hudson and Jordan, but the buying movement quickly died down, and net gains were reduced to fractions. U. S. Steel common closed nearly a point lower, at 149%. Allied Chemical, Atlantic Refining, Christie Brown, Coca Cola South Porto Rican Sugar and U.S. Cast Iron Pipe were conspicuously heavy. Ralls were sluggish, with the excep- tlos of Pittsburgh & West Virginia, which advanced 2 points to within a fraotion of the year's high. ~a— Tott Stock Quotations Allied Chem Amer, Loco Amer.

Dec. 5. — The Spotted Hurse mining property at Greenwood is now being operated by the newly incorporated Silver Charm Mining & Milling company, with offices in Seattle. The officer^ are H. Claude My- rlck president and manager; W. J. Rogers ' vice-president and treusurer; and A. 'ti. Wiegenstein, trustee. Tha personnel is the same'as that in the Montana-Washington Mines Inc., operating a placer property in Montana. The property has been purchased from the Jubilee Mining oompany, controlled by C. E. Bartholomew and associates. The price was $25,000. Williams 1*11*4 Previously an attempt had been made to reopen this mine by J. W. Williams, and the group who later took over the Van Dorn property in the Coeur d'Alenes and failed to complete the option. The Williams activities at present center around an attempt to reopen the Northport smelter. Jubilee Mountain Mining company was organised to operate the Spotted Horse, but the outfit failed to finance the purchase, and the property reverted to the Jubilee Mining company. Myrick organised the Silver Charm company with a capitalisation of $99,- 999. It has been financed in Seattle. "We intend to do considerable development work which wil] include the extension of the 84-foot tunnel, already run in on the ledge, and conditions are such that I believe we will be able to ship to the Trail smelter within 30 days," Mr. Myrick reports, Tr— Milling Gold »truck He was more than gratified, however, by the discovery of gold ore of a value which the mine was not known to contain. Howard Dennis of Spokane has taken the gold ore from Greenwood. He exhibited a sample of ore containing a little ruby and lead and another piece bearing comparatively large particles of glistening gold_ both taken from the same vein. "The joke Is on us," said Mr. Dennis. "Three weeks ago we sold the Spotted Horse, then the property of the Jubilee Mining company, for $25,000. The high- grade ore was struck since the sale. The gold ore has irat been assayed, but it has a value of $5000 to the ton, by estimate. But wc experience some satisfaction in having retuined an Interest in the Silver Charm. The vein containing this ore was opened on the side of a wall that is almost vertical and several hundred feet in height. The ore had an average value of $84 to the ton in silver and lead. The gold-bearing part of the body is three feet wide. The vein is a true fissure." More than 200,000 persona witnessed the Armistice day ceremonies in Whitehall, London, on Armistice day, when wreaths were placed on the ceno- taph.erected in honor of Britain's war heroes by king, peer and commoner alike.

Fred Johnston (Liberal, Long Lake, Sask.,), Hon, J. E. Sinclair (Liberal, Queens. P.E.I.,), and A. _. MacLean (Liberal, Prince, P.E.I.) Mr. Johnston was spoken of last MMlOfl as a likely appointment. Mr. Sinclair was formerly a minister without portfolio In the Liberal cabinet. Mr. Mac- Lean is one of the .sonior members of the house, and would be an equally popular deputy speaker. The appointment, it Is rumored, may not be made until the house reassembles after the holiday. LEFTOVERS 10 KEEP HOUSE BUSY tome 70 Bills, Among Them Several Divorce Bills, Have Yet to Be Dealt With OTTAWA, Dec. 5. — In addition to Ihe work of the present session, members of Canada's sixth parliament will find awaiting them about 70 bills left ..vtr from last session. Of these 48 are divorce bill!*, 14 of which had passed t»Ul houses and only required royal M- Stnt to make them absolute. The rest were In some stage in the house with one or two exceptions certain of being pacastf, The unexpected dissolution of the last parliament which prevented completion of this divorce legislation *1*« left in ihe air a number of important bltl*, iT now appears that these will have to be considered again, one by one, before the new parliament can pass them. At one time there was talk of Issuing a blanket I hill covering all the legislation which bad passed both senate and houne. By thi* means it was hoped to dispose of rhe formidable list at leftover legislation in ■ vi rf ifeori time. The supply bill, of course, will be the first to demand the attention of the house. This had not even been introduced, becauue the estimates had not [pmj committee stages. Several of the more important pieces of legislation were still under consideration when the last house came to its abrupt end. The Campbell bill, which would give farmers greater control over the routing of their grain is before the senate. The new soldiers' land settlement bill, which got through the commons, was amended in the senate and sent back to the commons for approval. In about the same stage was also the bill to abolish the drastic deportation clauses inserted in the Criminal code in 1910. Senator Belcourt's bill to restrict manufacture and sale of revolvers had not been passed by the commons. One or two other bills also had not reached Itnal -stage.

PATENAUDE Diamond Expert Forced to unload their boat half way up the Kootenay lake and bale out the water shipped during rough weather, tost ln a fog, suffering a fall over a cliff, having engine trouble coming back, George Harlow and George Donaldson returned to Nelson Wednesday night at 9 o'clock, Just two hours ahead of the arrival of Bert Donaldson, who accompanied them, and who was forced, on account of engine trouble, to paddle their launch used in the trip from Ten-Mile point to Nelson. Lake Inhospitable The trio left Nelson November 19 in a launch. Due to rough weatlir on the main lake they were compelled to head for shore when half way up the lake, and unloaded their supplies and baled out the water. Taking some of the supplies with them they arrived at Anacortes point without further mishap. Two additional trips were necessary to bring the remainder of the supplies to the point. Leaving their boat at Pilot Bay, they proceeded into the mountain region around Crawford Bay. After four days of searching they succeeded in bagging two blacktail deer, both four-pointers. On the return Journey to the bay, where they had cached their boat, they added a five-pointer to their bag. Orer CUff In Fog Just before reaching the shore in the Pilot Bay district a heavy fog came up. Harlow, who was in the lead, suddenly disappeared from the sight of his companions. Upon investigation tt was discovered he had stepped over the edge of a low cliff and rolled to the bottom. Fortunately he was uninjured. Arriving at their l»at they packed up and started for home. Things went shipshape until Ten-Mile point was reached, when the engine, due to the cold weather, stopped dead and no inducement could make it respond. Harlow and George Donaldson abandoned Bert Donaldson, and taking the supplies left, hiked in to the city, leaving Bert to paddle his own canoe, which he did, arriving home two hours later than the boys.
