A fatal accident occurred at Bur- rj n it la in yesterday noon when a man named Johnson received injuries which caused almost instant death. The accident happened at the lumber mill of Bradford and Taylor, several men, including Johnson, being engaged in unloading logs. Johnson was en gaged in knocking away the blocks which held the logs and one of the blocks sticking, he went underneath with a hammer to dislodge same' when tbe logs fell on him. Dr. A. L. McQuarrie, coroner for this district, went to the scene of the fatality immediately following the receipt of the news and the body was removed to Murchie's undertaking parlors where an inquest will be held today.

Just what their plans are for the restoration ot pence wan not divulged, but it was learned that they are seeking the elimination of General Huerta and are not allied in any way with the. constitutionalists. Members of the party say Senator Hoot met General Diaz on the tatter's visit to j Washington last week and that Diaz came to Washington at the invitation of Senator Fall. Whether the senators are fully acquainted with the plans of the Diaz group is not known. Have 18.000 Troops. Today's orders for the dispatch of two more regiments to Texas will re- su.'t in the assembly in that state of nearly 18,000 troops, more by 3000 thai the entire force of the regular army which General Shatter led into Cuba. Nearly 11,000 of these soldiers are In camp at Texas City, under the command of Brigadier General Frederick Funston. of Philippine fame. The olhers are scattered along the border from Brownsville, Texas, to Nogales, Arizona, under the command of General Tasker H. Bliss, the larger garrisons being maintained at El Paso, Nogales. Douglas, Laredo. Eagle Pass and Brownsville, where the railroads froai the United States enter Mexico. Although the two regiments will proceed to Eagle Pass and Laredo, General Bliss will designate their exact location. The present strength of ���ach regiment is 832 men. At Laredo and Eagle Pass, the two regiments will relieve six troops of cavalry, which will be distributed along other tieiints on the western border at Bliss' discretion. This will place under that general's command about 4200 cavalry troops and 2100 infantry. Though large in the aggregate thl3 force is regarded as small in many quarters here for a rigid and efficient patrol of the 1800 milts of ohreier be- ween the I'nited States and Mexico. Sec-:.ity Garrison, however, feels that it will be sufficient and says that be bus no present intention of further strengthening it. He insists that there is no proof that this border patrol has broken down at any point sine" its establishment three years ago. General Bliss telegraphed today he was sending photographs of the body of Vergara and beyond thut measure tin re was no word from the border today. fAVOR CLAUSE BARRING ASIATICS Trades and Labor Council Will test Elimination in Leases of Civic Property. A strong protest will be made by the municipal committee of the Trades and l^abor council against any elimination of the Asiatic clause when it comes to leasing civic property, according to action taken at a meeting of that body held last night. This is in connection with the proposed lease of city property to the Westminster Woodworking company. It was also decided that a committee wait upon the hospital board at the next meeting and ask that oriental labor be done away with when the new institution is occupied. It was mentioned at the meeting that ihe hospital beard had disposed of the services of some of the Chinese help, especially at the maternity cottage, but this was not considered drastic enough. No notice of proposed amendments to the constitution of the B. C. Federation was received, although the members were expecting same. A lively debate is likely to be staged when the communication arrives. The. reconstruction of the bylaws and constitution was completed.

Star Witness for Crown. The* court in Winnipeg was a storm centre throughout the morning and afternoon sessions. The excitement occurred as a result of placing on the witness stand John H. Buxton, jr., the star witness for the crown in the case Of Hagel and Westlake. charged jointly with complicity in the escape of Krafchenko, Buxton was on the stand the entire day, being on bis feet continuously, with the exception of a brief time | for the lunch period of five hours and i a hair. The entire morning session was taken up by Buxton in a dramatic recitation of his story, almost every 'detail of which coupled Percy Hagel | with being one cf the leading conspirators in planning the escape of Krafchenko. This morning's session was tiie calm before the storm for the moment that R. A. Bonnar, K.C commenced his cross-examination big red sparks began to fly. Contrary Evidence. Although Buxton withstood the gruelling tire. Mr. Bonnar managed to bring out three discrepancies in the evidence as given today and that Pro. Igiv*n at the preliminary hearing and before the royal commission on pre- I vious occasions. Buxton's only explanation of this contrary evidence was that he could not hilve fully understood the questions propounded to him on the two occasions on which he gave sworn evidence before. Buxton was unbending throughout and proved himself a stubborn witness and never wavered for a moment. He refused to commit himself definitely as to times or dates. Buxton from time to time insisted that he was trying to tell the truth, but on these occasions his protestations were only met with ridicule by Mr. Bonnar. Frequent Clashes. The afternoon session was rendered all the more exciting by frequent clashes by Mr. Bonnar, counsel for the defence, and Mr. Anderson, for the crown. Mr. Anderson objected frequently to the manner in which Mr. Bonnar addressed his questions to the witness aud much time was taken up by Mr. Justice Curran in deciding legal disputes, especially as to whether Mr. Bonnar should read the full text of a subject in asking the witness with regard to what he did or did not say at the time of his previous examinations. As stated. Buxton was shaken on three points, in his statement today be said 'hat when he first met Constable Reid in the Clarendon hotel bar and Miked to him about Kraf- cbenko, no plans of escape were discussed. Reid, simply relating that he was sure Krafchenko bad a gun which Reid said had been brought into the cell strapped to his stomach by a belt. Mr. Bonnar. by a few searching questions revealed that when Buxton gave his evidence on former decisions he told how Reid at the first meeting had discussed the plans Of Krafchenko's escape. The important point In this connection v.eis that Hagel was not introduced to Reid until after this conversation In the bar took place. Again Buxton made' statements on the stand this morning that he had gone to visit Krafchenko in the Burris block one evening after the escape after he had ! first, held a conference with Hagel In the hitter's private office aud was instructed by Hagel to go to the block By the passage of an act by the provincial legislature to te.tiljust the boundary between the municipalities of Burnaby and Richmond, the form- J er's rights along the North Arm of the Fraser now extend to the centre of the stream instead of ending at the i northerly bank.

Burnaby's rights are now to the centre of the stream and with the Improvement of the North Arm now being planned by the ht'rbor commission It is expected that much benefit will accrue to the* municipality. In settlement for the deal Richmond will receive from Burnaby the sum of $T00(i. payable $3000 after the passing of the act and $4000 on or about Dec. 31, 1914. Protest Appointment.

Mr. Bonnar brought out by cross- examinaticn that when Buxton told his story on the two previous occasions he said he first went to the Burrls block and then returned to consult with Hagel.

WOMAN'S BEAUTY PROVOKED ATTACK NEW SPIRIT ABROAD. Since the opening of the new year a fresh spirit has shown itself along the waterfront and, in place of what might be called passive resistance to the harbor improvement scheme, there is rapidly growing a strong sentiment among those citizens interested in waterfront leases a desire to do all in their power to aid the harbor committee of the city council in its work for the city's good. Several months ago when the first obstructions to the progress of the harbor improvement work were making themselves manifest, The News pointed out the almost certain success which would result from friendly conferences between the city council and those ratepayers whose waterfrontage will be most directly affected by the piling and filling operations. Since the 1914 harbor committee took up its duties under the chairmanship of Alderman Annandale this policy has heen put into effect all along the line and the results obtained to date must be exceedingly gratifying to every citizen interested in the development and progress of the city. Acting on the assumption that there is not a waterfront leaseholder who is an enemy to New Westminster's best interests, Alderman Annandale and his colleagues on the harbor committee have inoculated the negotiations relatives to harbor improvement with the serum of good- fellowship and civic loyalty, and the spirit in which they have been met so far by the leaseholders is a credit, not only to the businesslike diplomacy of the harbor committee, but also to the public spiritedness of the leaseholders themselves. It cannot be expected Ihat such a comprehensive scheme as the harbor improvement plan and one involving such radical changes along the waterfront will be put through to completion before many difficulties have been met and surmounted, but, if the sentiment now existing between the city hall and the waterfront is maintained, it is certain that the harbor work ultimately will be crowned with deserved success, backed by the good will of all concerned.

They are saying across the water that King George influenced Asquith in the matter of the home rule settlement. Well, if the king influenced the premier, it's almost certain the queen made a few suggestions to the king. How easy it would have been to catch the G. N. R. train bandits or the Abbotsford bank robbers if some oi those chaps who hold down street corners had been on the job. So far there has been no effort to interfere with the old fashioned bottle license which permits you to drop into the place around the corner and get a quart of heather dew to take home. Some members of the opposition in the Dominion house don't want B. C. to have any more senators. Annexing a few more seats in the old man's home at Ottawa may not help this province to any considerable extent, but if the plate's going round there doesn't seem to be any valid reason why we shouldn't take a piece of cake or two. For clear and unvarnished truthfulness the following "want ad." in the London Post annexes the coffee roll: "Britisher, slightly bald and of no particular social standing, tired to death of the needy clamor of the young, the well-born and the well-educated, desires to meet with some charitably disposed person of more money than brains, who will enable him to taste the unwonted and peculiar joy of living in luxury on someone else's bounty." ONTARIO'S MINING RECORD. in 1913 the total mineral production of Ontario reached the new record value of $63,000,000 of which $37,- 000,000 is to lie* credited to the metallic���mostly gold and silver- and $16,- ooo.oon to the non-metallic minerals. No other province or territory in Canada can point lo as good a record as this in an\\ year. In 1900 the Yukon territory produced about $22,000,000 in gold -that being the zenith year of the big rush. Yukon's production of the yellow metal has fallen now to about $6,000,000 yearly, a mark that is likely to be passed in 1!U4 by the mines of Ontario's Porcupine district. British Columbia's vast mountain ranges have great linworked mineral resources that could be profitably mined were there adc*c|uate railway facilities, but that province's mineral yield is much below Ontario's. Uritish Columbia's mineral production is about $32,000,000 or nol much more than the value of Ontario's cold and ���silver output alone. If Ontario had j coal deposits such as British Columbia, 1 Alberta and Nova Scotia, pur mineral ' product ion would probably be as much las all the other provinces together. It is exceedingly satisfactory to note 1 that men with large capital are being I attracted to the Ontario mining fields. I The making good of Cobalt and Porcupine has established Ontario's repula- ! tlcn, but the development work In the mines of both districts bas taught the lesson that the deposits can be profitably worked only on a large scale, and by Mae use of large amounts of capital. In Its earlier days Cobalt was a "poor man's camp" where a few thousand dollaits might return sev- j eral hundred thousand, but ra'nlng f.io lower grade ore is a rich man's enterprise. Increasin ; Detention to the g del bearing districts in particular is likely to come of the profitable handling of the low grade ores of the Porcu- pine district and real mining work will be encouraged. This is important because not only around Porcupine, bul far and near through northern Ontario are splendid mineralized dis- Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba Are in i:ad With New Legislation. Last year the Ontario government passed a measure to provide for the financing of improved housing undertakings, says the Monetary Times. i'lie act empowers the councils of cities and towns to guarantee the bonds of housing companies (organized to Improve housing and not for profit). Lo the extent of 86 per cent, of the money required, that is, S5 per cent, t tit" value of their land and buildings. The remaining 15 per cent, of :i money required must be private capital, represented by stock of the company paid up in cash The act limits the dividends the company may pay upon this stock te> six per cent, pi,- annum. This is In many reespects an entirely new type of constructive housing legislation, and its opetation will be watched with Interest. A similar act has just been passed in the province of Quebec, and one is being considered by the government of Manitoba Housing Company's Work. The Toronto Housing Company, Limited, was Incorporated under the j Ontario act. Shortlj aftc the passing of tiiis legislation the city council of Toronto aul torized ths guarantee of bonds to the value of $860,000, or the purpose of the company upon the basin of $150,000 being provided bj the company. A few days later this bylaw received the approval of the provincial board of health. The vote of Toronto ratepayers was therefore not required- Shares to the value of $11111,000 only have' as yet been subscribed for, so that $60,000 additional must, be provided to entitle the company to the full amount authorized by the council. The company's first purchase of land was from the city, some five acres. From the neiture* of the land a carefully planned development of the whole area was necessary to prevent it becoming an eyesore to this section of the city. The present plans for this land have been approved by the city council and $400,000 will be openl on this development and house 200 families. The company have* purchased 686 reet of land near St. Clair avenue, in bhe northwest of the city, and plan to sp"end there in all tiii.it! $100,000.

A prominent advertiser who spends a fortune every year in publicity has established a significant rule. Whenever he notices a slowing up of business he increases his advertising. This is the reason: "When business is booming it is unnecessary to fight for it���it comes of itself; but when business is slow I insist on having my share of it, and the easiest way to get it is by calling attention to my goods. I do not wait for hard times. I scent them in the distance, and before anybody else gets busy I make my contracts for advertising on a big scale and get my orders in before my competitors know what I am doing." The logic and common sense of the attitude of this gentleman account in large part for the remarkable success he has achieved men! might assert its right to say that the tenants should not be tbe particular friends of tbe reigning sovereign, but that the royal residence I Should be reserved for those whom Parliament might designate.

To be convincing an advertisement must convey an unmistakable impression of enthusiasm. This it * will only do when the article advertised has inherent worth. Thus we have: Sincerity --Enthusiasm -- Advertising: Three mighty forces, close-linked. If you art doing a local busi*ess talk over your advertising problems with th* Advertising Department of this newspaper. <} // you are doing a provincial or national business it would be well for yon Is have tht counsel and assistance of a good advertising agency.

The irritation Shown some short time ago is apparently increasing, although no definite reason for this can be put forward. Russia is not satisfied at the great increase of military strength on the part of the powers of the triple alliance and Austria strongly suspects that Russia means to pursue a progressive programme because of her immense preparations. While Russia has no very definite grounds for her supposition that the triple alliance is increasing troops unduly, at present. Austria lias just learned that Russia is spending 75.* 000,000 sterling on new railways and llift these railways are for the most part of great strategical value on the western side of the empire. Russia Must Arm. It is clear to the unprejudiced on-1 looker that Russia nni>-t arm, if sho| is to keep her strength up to that of har neighbors, who greatly Increased the strength of their armies last year.

Thomas, the* prominent Welsh mining magnate, into this couu-t try has aroused w idesprcaei Interest, was amply testified yesterday by I Franklin Denton, a mining engineer! of Pennsylvania, who has just com��� pleted a brief tour of the northern Section of British Columbia In the in-1 terests of his connections. Mr. Denton, who lias been in the country carrying on a quiet inspection for several weeks, declares that from his observation of actual mining conditions iu the Groundhog country there is every possible justification for the faith of Mr. Thomas, which has found recent expression In his application for a railway charter to run [from the mining zone to tidewater. Significant Fact. "The fact of Mr. Thomas Interesting j himself in t li is section of the country | is very significant," saiel Mr. Denton. j "anil you must not be at all surprised j If you find ii creating as great an lm- ' pression in the United States as elsewhere. Coal is one of the most universal necessities at the present time, ami lhe country that has more than the usual supply of il is bound In Hie nature of things to earn a little passing attention.

At present they an* very far from agreeing and seem prepared for anything and this augurs badly for the tranquility ���A the Balkans. Why He Lost the Sale. Many stories are related of the characteristics of Sir William C, Macdonald. the noted millionaire manufacturer and generous benefactor of McOill University, Montreal, L'ntil a few years ago Sir William never ba>! a telephone In his office, and never made use of an elevator. Pome time ago a young saleman for a financial house secured an audience witb Sir William and was anxious to sell him some bonds. lie presented the proposition so cleverly and so effectively ihat the millionaire said he would take a couple, Going to a vault, he drew out a steel drawer that was crowded to Its utmost capacity with bonds. Sir William examined it carefully and trieel (o get in the two or three papers which the young man hai handed him. But he could nol. make room for them, and passing the documents back to thn salesman, remark'd quietly that he had changed h*s mind, aa he bad uot since for any j more bonds. The caller was so completely surprised at the unexpecteel turn that events bad taken thai be had not a single argument to pros-1 ent, and thus he lost the sal"1 through Sir William not possessing] a steel drawer capacious enough accommodate the securities. to Improving O.

Touching upon the proposal or Mr. Thomas to construct a railway from the mining centre to the coast, Mr. Denton expressed the opinion that lt would do much toward the speedy de- velopmenl of the properties. He also thought that It would prove a means to further discoveries of profitable deposits niii yet charted at all. The necessity for rail connection appeali d to him strongly, and he paid a high tribute to the provincial government for Its faith In prosecuting this undertaking in the manner that has i n adopted. "Railways an* a necessity for lhe development cf practically any Industry nowadays," proceeded Mi*. Denton, "and this is doubly inn* In the case of coal mines, with direct rail connection to the coast, the whole northern country could be opened up in a remarkably Bhrot space of time. Of course. 1 am not overlooking the fact that much is being done even now in this line*. T'ic* (Iranil Trunk Pacific and the Pacific Great Eastern railways will naturally contribute largely to the development of this country, but at the same time there is no gainsaying the extreme value to the Industry of a specially designed road, such as thai which appears to occupy the mind and attention of Mr. Thomas." Always on Lookout. Speaking on the subject of coal generally, Mr. Denton said that the large interests were always on the lookout for promising coal deposits. No country could get along wlt'iout coal. Ile cited the tremendous use of coal in war vessels, as well as in the ordinary Industrial development, anil remarked, in regard to the former, that nothing represented so powerful an asset In time of trouble aa coal. This factor, he thought, made* il important tiiat British Interests Bhould see to it that the coal of British Columbia was exploited properly, anel that it was subjected to necessary protection. "What, the development of another great coal industry would achieve for British Columbia it is Impossible to suggest," said Mi. Denton.

Victoria, March 11.���China is slow- j ly but steadily working towards eman- 1 cipation from t'.ie thialdom of hier- | archy and is assuming every day and | every year a little more of the aspects of the western world, in the opinion of George Fansel, a young merchant of Hongkong, who arrived the other day on the Empress of Asia. .Mr. Fansel, who has spent eleven years in the Orient, is of the opinion that while the turmoil and excitement attending the advent of the new movement sometime ago has subsided, the movement is still making headway in every direction. He believes that the day is not far distant when the inauguration of the new Ideas will have a permanent effect, not only upon t'.ie life of China itstlf. but also upon its relations with the other countries oil the wcrlei. "There are changes and developments taking place in China now that | are on a par with those of western I countries, the only difference being; that the metamorphosis is not in re- gard to the same order of things," said Mr. Fansel. "The wheels of j progress are moving in China as els,* where, and it remains to be seen Whither they are tending. There are j many conflicting issues, and it can- j not be denied that there are many j troubles ahead. Over here 1 find there ' is an objection to the incoming of the Chinamen in large numbers, and when : I see how that difficulty is being met j In this country 1 begin to wonder what China, the composite brain of China, I thinks of it all. and what steps she may take with regard to it when the time comes. Of course, the time is not yet and the margin may bring about the remedy of its own accord in the peculiar way that time bas of mellowing influences and experiences" Mr. Fansel is making his first trip lo Canada.

MONTREAL DOCTORS ABANDON FRIEDMANN Montreal. 11.���In spite of the news from Europe that the people over there are still pinning their faith to the Friedmann cure���two patients In Berlin having died because the tubes containing the serum also contained deadly foreign baccllli.���all interest and faith in the cure in Montreal seems to be lacking. Local doctors are of tiu* opinion thai no one here is using the cure or considers it worth while. "As soon as they found that the Friedmann cure was a failure," saici Dr. B. Orenler, of the Bruchesi Institute, "the people returned lo Ihe old treat tne nt they held been taking before the arrival of the German doc tor, I do not believe thai any one is using the cure in Montreal now. Those who are alive of th.* patients whom Dr. Friedmann treated are all taking the old cure." "The Friedmann cure was just simply ii failure." said Dr. Harding, of the Itoyai Edward Institute. "The cure was never on tlte market here, but in the Slates a depot was opened. Those who wisii to be treated with the cure must go to the States. 1 do not think, however, thai any Montrealers are using the treatment."

Tint present size of the lake is about (80 acres but this would be reduced to about 2011 acres, this being the size of the depression in the centre of the lake. This reduction can be accomplished by the deepening of Brunette river which has its siitt-ee* at Burnaby lake and also facilitating the flow of water through snii creek which runs Into the lake.
