Price Five Cents, REACH ACatEMENT ON ULSTER QUESTION Exclude 794,272 Protestants and 351,372 Roman Catholics. Four Ulster Counties Immune from Home Rule Bill���Three Included. LARGE WOODWORKING PLANT ON LULU ISLAND DESTROYED WOULD BAR HINDUS TO COURT MARTIAL BUT ADMIT JAPS JAPANESE ATTACHE Mill and Stock of Westminster Woodworking Company Burns Sunday Afternoon���Total Loss $75,000���Forty- five Men Thrown Out of Work���Weak Water Pressure Hampers Firemen���Blaze at K. of P. Block. London, .Feb. 16,���It is circumstantially stated tliis morning that an agreement has been arrived at ln the Ulster problem. There will be a partition of the Ulster counties of IWiwn, Antrim. Derry and Armagh, with an area of 3326 square miles and a population of 794.272 Protestants and .'',01,372 Komati Catholics. These ���will he excluded from the operations of the home rule bill, while Donegal Tyrone, Fermanagh, Cavan and Mona- ���ghan with an area of 4958 square miles and a population of 95,008 Pro- lestan's and 339,444 Homan Catholics will he included in the rest of Ireland under the self-government plan. The completion of the settlement of tho terms depends upon the question of handing the customs and posta' duties to the parliament of Ireland. It is Hiiid there is a condition of unrest on account of the proposed plan, if the home rule bill is passed. This would kill the Welsh dis-establlshment and the plural voting bills and consequently the bitterest opposition is anticipated from the advanced radicals 1'ut this can doubtless be overcome by a promise that these measures would be at once passed upon the return of the government to power. MURDER SEQUEL TO BEIUSS CASE Killing of Boy Was for Ritualistic Purposes It Is Alleged. Kiev, Feb. 15.���The murder of the ���boy at Fuftoff, which it is alleged, was committed for rltualls'ic pur- -puses, is asBuming th" dimensions of the Heiliss case. As in the earlier tragedy, stories of mysterious characters have been Introduced, such as "'a redheaded man" and "a lamp lighter.'' both of whom have disappeared. Tho Ulack Hundred and the Union of Russian people are showing Iheir old time anti-Semite activity. The minister cf justice, J. O, Chtohogievitoff, and other judicial officials have arrived al Kiev and are ���sifting the evidence. On their arrival they were acclaimed by deputations from the Union of Russian people and the Two-headed Eagle organization. The leaders of the Black Hundred. after lirst asserting that the victim was a christian, subsequently said h was a Jew and that he had been murdered by Jews in connection with the BelUss case for the purpose of disproving the allegations of ritual murder by demonstration that a Jewish boy as well as a christian might be a victim of a crime. They also are seeking to prove Pashkoff, the Jewish tailor who has been arrested on the charge of having been implicated in the murder, Is a relative of Heiliss. Another Indication that the case Is likely to be a repetition of the. beiliss affair is found In the fact that the two opposing counsels in the* Heiliss trial, the Black Hundred barrister, (1. Zamislovsky, and the defender of Heiliss, M. Zarimdy. hai arrived a! Kiev. Newspaper correspondents are thronging to Fastoff, Pashkoff is still in prison, as is abo a Russian peasant, C.oiitcharuk. who is said to bave been seen with lhe hoy on the day of the murder. Earthquake in Quebec. Quebec, Feb. 15, At *:30 o'clock Saturday morning Quebec and vicinity was visited by an earthquake which lasted from 10 to 30 seconds. Buildings were considerably shaken, bat no damage has been ri ported. The shock was felt more distinctly In the Saguenay district than around Quebec. One of the most destructive fires that has visited New Westminster for a considerable period, yesterday afternoon completely destroyed the plant and stock of the Westminster Woodworking company, I.ulu island, and three railway freight, cars and caused monetary loss estimated at $75,000. The loss in the plant was $55,000 and the stock $20,000, of which $40,- 000 ls covered by insurance. The origin of the lire is not known, although several stories were in circulation yesterday each giving different causes. One was that the watchman overturned an oil stove and another that the flames started through the oils and paints in one corner of thp building becoming alight through spontaneous combustion. Both these theories are discredited by James Brooks, manager of the company, but it is the intention to hold a thorough I investigation into the cause today. Pile of Ashes. It was about 12:30 when flames were first seen risina from the centre I of the main building of the plant and ! at 6 o'clock last evening the entire i factory was reduced to a pile of smouldering embers. Only the boiler | noufie and the sfab.e was left sland 1 ing. but both these buildings wen badly damaged. The flames were lirst noticed by some people living In the vicinity of the factory and a call was immediately tent for the tire department. The factory was a mass of seething flames from one end to the other when the fireman arrived five minute? after the call was received. The task of quenching the fire was a hopeless one from ihe start and the brigade, hampered by the lack of sufficient water pressure, concentrated Its efforts to keep the flames within the bounds of the plant yard which was successfully accomplished. No Chance to Save. By 1 o'clock the roof of the factory was gone and the supports crashed \ down a few minutes later carrying the overhead galvanized sawdust con- ; veyor with thc-m. After that there ! was nothing to It but to let the flames ; take their course. The lire hose was centred on the ��� boiler house, an explosion being fear- j <*d If the boilers became overheated. The wooden frame supporting the gal 1 vanized room and sides of this build- I ing caught fire a number of limes, bu! , finally the firemen got the upperhand. : The efforts of the brigade were also i directed successfully towards Baring ' the stable, which stands at the north- I east corner of the building and which i was about the last portion cf the plant . to catch lire. Houses Threatened. The fire caused considerable appro* I hension among these living in the I vicinity of the building and men were out on roof-tops playing garden hose. A number of shacks located close to the burning plant were in serious danger for a lime, but their Hindu occupants exerted herculean efforts and with the liberal use of water saved their homes. Meanwhile the furniture In the shacks was removed to a place of safety. Attracted to the scene by the I flames and smoke which could be I-cen all over the ciiy a huge crowd witnessed lhe blaze. Everybody kepi nt a respectful dis: iuce, however, fearing falling wires and explosions, and the firemen were little' hampered In their work. Some |l. C. Electric linemen were early on the scene and cut several uires which seemed In danger of falling. The freight cars destroyed were lying on the siding within the plant yard. Two were C. I'. II, and one B. C. Electric. Jobs Burn Up. Although the actual monetary loss ; in stock and plant was $07,000, the I Ions from a business point of view will be considerable. The plant was operating right up until noon Satur- ! day and several ordi rs were awaiting | attention, Forty-live men will be l thrown out of employment for a time at least. The plant of the Westminster Woodworking company was one of the best equipped on lower mainland. Ii was composed of a sash and door factory, cabinet, kilns, etc. There were 16 valuable woodworking machines in the building. Manager's Statement. Discussing the fire lasl night James Brooks, the manager, could give no reason fcr Its origin. The only man iu the building at the time was the watchman who attempted to fight the fire single-handed, but was overcome with smoke and crawled to a place of safety unable to raise tbe alarm. "The cause ia a mystery to me," said Mr. Brooks last night. "The fire underwriters were around on a trip of Inspection a few days ago and they said the plant was one of the most modern of its kind and a good risk. I haven't had time to arrange plans for the future as yet." Mr. Brooks afco stated that the company was doing a thriving business and the loss of the plant would be a serious handicap. Pcor Water Pressure. The pcor water pressure was due to the fact that there ls only an eight inch main crossing to I.ulu island from the city. The pressure might have been better had it not been for the fact that the residents in the vicinity were using a large quantity to keep the roofs aud sides of their hemes from catching fire. The pressure was so poor that the firsmen wero able to UFe only two streams throughout the fight. Whether the records of the Wood working company are safe or not will not be known until this morning. The most important were kept in the safe which is now lying among the ashes. The safe was seen among the flames while the fire was in progress and a stream of water was turned on it occasionally to keep it cool. Early Morning Blaze. A fire discovered in the basement of the K. of P. hall by Joe Pre#ma��i at 4 o'clock yesterday morning- resulted in a call for th? fire department. The blaze was extinguished easily and very little damage was done. The roomers in lhe building were asleep and unaware of the danger they were in when tbe brigade arrived and the first duly performed was that of getting the people out of the building. It was necessary to break in a few doors before all were got to a place of safety and the majority were dressed only in scanty at- ilre." The tire originated in the boiler room. Fireman McDonald, No. 2 hall, had his hand badly gashed. This May be Compromise on Fight of Coast to Exclude Asiatics. "No Gentleman's Agreement with Great Britain on This," {.ays Representative Burnett. Washington, Feb. 15.���Representa- tive Burnett of Alabama, chairman of the house committee on immigration, predicted tonight that as a compromise on the Pacific coast fight to exclude Japanese and all other Asiatics, congress at this session would enact legislation to bar out the Hindus. "Whether the Immigration committee will go further than that I don't know," said Mr. Burnett, "but there is no gentleman's agreement or favored nation arrangements with Great Britain so far as the Hindus are concerned. There ought to be prompt legislation to nip in the bud any steamship arrangements to bring an extraordinary number of Hindus, a project which the immigration bureau once discovered and once foiled." representative Raker of California, and other Pacific coast representatives btill insist upon legislation for general exclusion of Asiatics. Repre- sentathe Church of California, who on Thursday will urge the immigration committee to report his bill to exclude the Hindu laborers, said to- nigh: he believed the committee would favorably report the measure and that there was no question as to the house passing it. Chairman Burnett said he was confident the president would not veto his immigration bill now before the senate committee because of the literacy test. He stated that stories of a possible veto had been started for the purpose of influencing the vote on the measure in the senate. Two Naval Officials Are Charged with Receiving Commissions. Other Officers Isolated as Result of Recent Scandal���Awaiting Further Investigation. FOUR ARE GUILTY OE MANSLAUGHTER Tokio, Feb. 15.���Vice Admiral Kol- chi Fuijl, formerly Japanese naval attache at Berlin, and Capt. Sawaseki, have been ordered before a court martial on the charge of bribery in connection with the alleged naval corruption. Admiral Baron Saito, minister of marine, made this announcement in the house of Peers today. "Allegations have been made that Admiral Fuiji and other officers received illicit commissions for influencing allottments of admiralty contracts in favor of a German firm." Both the public prosecutor and a naval commission headed by Admiral Baron Shigeto Dowa have been conducting inquiries along this line since Feb. 1. As a result several other naval officers have been isolated, although charges against Uiem have not yet been formulated. The naval scandal has been used as a weapon by certain opposition groups in an effort to discredit and overthrow the ministry. Many mass meetings have been held in protest against the government and riotous scenes have occurred on the floor of the lower house. Members of the diet have been attacked while proceeding to the house and today the minister of the interior, Heihara, had a narrow escape from injury. Two men leaped into his automobile in an attempt to assault him, but were seized by detectives. All the parties charge that the others are employing henchmen to resort to violence. Three Detective Agency Guards and Sheriff Are Convicted.

AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION REPORTS GOOD PROGRESS in New Westminster, Says Rev. F. W. Kerr. One Deputy Acquitted, But Must Appear on Other Charge���Jury Out Over Night. Houghton, .Mich., Feb. 15.���Three Waddell-Mahon detective agency operatives and a deputy sheriff yesterday were found guilty of manslaughter for the killing of Steve Putrich, a striking copper mine worker, at See- bervllle on Aug. 14 last. Harry James, the other deputy was acquitted, under instructions from the court. The men convicted were Jas. Cooper, Arthur Davis, William Groff and Edwin Polkinghorne. All but the latter are from New York. Clemency was recommended to the court in the case of Polkinghorne, the deputy sheriff. Judge Flannigan will pass sentence on the convicted men tomorrow. It has not been decided whether an appeal will be taken. The jury reached a verdict after ten ballots had been taken. The court had instructed the jurors that they could find the men guilty on either second degree murder or manslaughter. When the verdict was announced Charles Watson, attorney for the men demanded a poll of the jury and each man of the 12 said that it was his verdict. The four convicted men, who have been at liberty under $5000 bonds were turned over to the custody of the sheriff. James was released but was ordered to report tomorrow in connection with the killing of Aloise Tijan, with which crime the five men are also charged. It is regarded as doubtful whether the men will ever be tried for this offence. Thomas Raleigh, another Waddell- Mahon guard, who also was involved in the Seeberville shooting, disappeared on the eve of the trial and has not been caught. The case attracted widespread interest throughout the copper country owing to its connection with the strike there. The Waddell-Mahon men were brought here at the beginning ot the strike to help protect property of the mining companies and non-union employees. The strikers have referred to them as "gun men."

That Canada is a land of enormous resources which are being exploited in great haste and with recklessness is the opinion of one of the great dailies of London, England, after perusing the reports of bribery and corruption in the Quebec legislature and the federal parliamentary commission finding on the waste in building the national transcontinental railroad. The inference drawn is a logical one and, in spite of the distaste Canadians may have in common with others for knowing and facing the truth about themselves some action is necessary if the harvest of the whirlwind in future years is to be avoided. As the English daily points out, it is not a matter of today alone, nor of the tenure of office by any one party rather than another. It is a question of future results and if the Canadian people of today are not laying the foundation for the structures of the years to come in a thoroughly selfish spirit it is their duty to guide development along the lines of actual utility. During the time of financial stringency which is now passing Canada has been blamed for many mistakes and errors for which she was not responsible, but, on the other hand, some of her people have been guilty of pursuing a short-sighted policy by magnifying these lapses they have used to the detriment of the country as a whole. Canada must grow and prosper; that is her destiny and a more brilliant future never was planned for any land than that which Providence has laid out ahead of this great Dominion, but it can be marred and distorted and against such a result Canadians of today must guard. What is most needed at present is some kind of governmental-supervision of the real estate market that will protect the right minded vendors and the uninformed buyers alike. Such supervision would be dangerous in the hands of an administration whose creed was mainly its belief in the division of political spoils, but surely, if the government is so minded, it could find men honest enough and capable enough to take hold of the oversight of the realty market of the Dominion and draft a set of regulations' that would put the wild-catter and the real estate shark completely out of business. There are plenty of big Canadians fully qualified for such a job and it would be in the best interests of the country to appoint them and pay them salaries sufficiently large to put them far beyond the reach of the unscrupulous realty manipulator. today Thi, ^ ? ;> , _ Falling into line with the overseas political parties, j that it was non-German. the mother of parliaments is to hold an investigation into direct competition with the merchants, which was net fair or jut and could not .'nave been what was intended by the legislators. It waa claimed, hIfo, that the ga^- nisliepi* law was Inadequate. Under the existing regulations the wages of the man in debt were exempted up to $40. This did not afford the merchants protection, it was argued, because of the* tact that persons well able to pay, but bent on defrauding, received their cheques either by the week or every two weeks. Often the total waa not above the sum mentioned^ in which event it was difficult to make collection because the debtor was very careful to keep abreast of liis income. The recommendation was that the limit of exemption be placed at $10. In the Wife's Name. Another practice roundly condemned and which the merchants requested Hi'' government to assist in allaying is that of transferring property to the wife's name when in difficulties, It was affirmed that this was exceedingly common in British Columbia, ihat many confirmed "dead beats" had reduced it to a science, and that those engaged in the trade were suffering to the extent of thousands of dollars annually as a result. As a remedy it was suggested that the wife be made jointly liable for goods sold for the maintenance of the household. That something should be done to prevent the spread ol' the habit, wliicli was said tn be becoming more gen- eral, of signing cheques without having the funds to cover them was another conclusion reached. The dele- gatcs said that they could make a line display of cheques returned from banks marked "N. S. F." if they were to be produced. It might be argued that there was the usual recource under the criminal code through the police court, but. it. was answered, it seemed to be. exceedingly difficult to obtain convictions. That tnere should be some more severe penalty was the declaration of the* convention. The collection agent was also dis- e*,ie:-e*d. There have been a number o;' instances, it was said, of Americans coming to the province and set- ting up business, collecting several thousand dollars and leaving for tiie other side again without saying gooel- bve. It was suggested that this would be remedied if all collection agencies were bonded in an adequate sum by ���he- provincial government so tbat those who place'd their accounts in such bands for liquidation might be reasonably sure of securing the returns. Only Chrislain Charity Can Save Britain I On the- subject of the Irish home rule problem, the Spokesman-Review, of Spokane, gives an interesting and impressive foreign views, as follows: "Certain recks, certain ravines, certain copses, certain wild openings through the trees at evening impel linen to mad aud awful deeds," observes Hugo in "Ninety-three," that powerful tragic story of the Vendean Catholic-Loyalist insurrection against the atrocities of the reign of terror under Robespierre, Danton and .Marat. The thought stems fantastic, but bhe dark history of certain regions of the earth gives it a strong semblance of psychological verity. Among these must be included Ulster, whore 100,000 men are drilling in the manual of arms���a sinister threat of civil war if parliament should complete the enactment of the home rule bill for Ireland. Speaking in the commons Tuesday. Walter Long, former unionist chief secretary for Ireland, warned the government that for the first time in centuries the United Kingdom was threatened wiili civil war. There were, said Mr. Long. 100,000 men under arms In Ulster .prepared to sacrifice their lives resisting the home rule bill. Ancient Feud. BUSINESS DIRECTORY AUDITOR AND ACCOUNTANT. II. J. A.

Wo can only voice a fervent prayer tint this dark cloud may pass away and the hearts of all he touched with the healing balm of Christian charity. Feuds of this nn ture transform men into demons, gentle women into furies, and even the children into infantile devils. Singularly, so powerful is the spirit of faction, men and women glorify atrocities on their side that fill them with hate and loathing when committed by the opposing forces. They lose all balanced sense of justice, all perspective of vision. The outcome of this Ulster insurrection no man can forsee.

Against these feminine triumphs, the league produces a whole flood of arguments as to the fatal effects of emancipation. The leaguers are not content with the old anti-feminist argument that participation in professional scientific and public life will ruin women as wives and as mothers. They ���$?

This has almost led to a post office strike. The male junior officials hold Indignation meetings of protest. They point out that among them are many old soldiers, some of whom have served their jhountry in China and South Africa, and say "it is an offence against t;i<* Bense of discipline and conclusion of Qreporlus is that the once manly and intelligent Scandinavian men are decaying as lhe result of Feminism; that they are attaining a lamentable mora', and physical hermaphroditism, which is itself a stage towards their degeneration into womanliness." I'e says that Scandinavian women no longer, like English and American women, bring up their male children to be men, but aim at turning them into "aunts." that is into "old women." In Finland "may be seen the once bold, aggressive, enterprising and immoral man turned by Feminism into an "aunt." lie has lost his passion to fight and coneiuer men and women and aims alone at showing re-iii!\ expression of tueee young men* who ought to be angry and humiliated are a spectacle of moral degredution Which I have rarely witnessed." According to this doctrine the Ger-i man empire will Inevitably decay if it lets women advance. This view is preached by the league; and tremendous efforts are being made to get the view placed before the public. This' year $100,000 will be spent on the! spreading of enlightening literature, j Also the league is going to propagan-! dize via the post office and Herr! Kraetke's new girl officials will have| the joy of handling millions of post-j cards holding them up to derision. A money prize has been offered for the post card showing most luridly and artistically the horrors which await feminized nations, and leaguers will pledge, themselves to use these post cards for their private correspondence. Leaguers are encouraged by the support of many women. German Feminists are mostly men. A3 against at least 5,000,000 men who are pledged to demand woman's suffrage there are only 15,000 women members in the suffragist organizations. Among the woman leaguers who do not want the vote is Baroness von Meerheimb- Buelnau, the able novelist and she ia backed by other women of ability. Some of the league extremists, however go so far that they deny to wo- i men even the right to protest pub- i licly against Feminism. The woman I Bhould stay at home. To enforce this j doctrine a gieat congress will be held I this year at Mayence or Mannheim, j and, as a league speaker proclaims; a ! "last blow will be driven into the cof- ! fin oi emancipation." Wlll llfT SKULL to mend morals assistant county physician, and Dr. B. II. 1,'oark, house surgeon at the Sacred Heart hospital, were to perforin ine operation that his friend* hope will make a better man morally of Lafferty. The idea was also to perform the operation at the Sacred Hi art hospital. The hospital waa changed when the doctors were changed. "It seems that Mr. Hudson, uncle* of Mr. Lafl'tity, took exception to a remark imputed to Dr. Itcark wherein the latter expressed doubt that the operation would result in Lafferty travelling the path of rectitude in the future, and, as a result, some new physicians have been secured," said Dr. Sells. "The proposed operation will bo interesting to say the least." Dr. VV. N. Newman said: "it is true, that I 'nave been retained to operate on Lafferty. "The operation will consist of trepanning the skull, raising the skull over the ptint where it was injured and where it i3 supposed to press on the brain. A piece of bone will be removed and the skull raised at that point. Not Certain of Relief. "I am not saying it will cure Mr. Lafferty of any tendency *o wrongdoing that he may have had since ha was injured. I nave never seen an operation performed to relieve a condition of this kind." Prior to the injury to the skull it is said Lafferty bore an excellent reputation and was exceptionally bright. He was the construction engineer when the SpoUane-Cccur el'Alene electric line was built. Since bis injury, it is alleged, his conduct has changed almost completely ana for this reason his friends hope the operation will restore him to health. WAR SCARE FROM U. S. NOT FROM JAPAN Bene to Be Removed from Man's Head���Met Accident and Conduct Chanejed. Q Un, Fi I 1 Germany Is mule Ing iicr.jii* efforts to maintain her! claim to be the last citadel of mascu- Ilnlsm; to be the last country to houi out aganst Lhe assaults of the tern- nists. Prominent citizens lately formed a "German League for Combating Women's Emancipation" -"a Deutz- Cher Bund zu* Bekaempfung etc Frail- en-emanzlpation" ��� which openly makes war on Feminism. II Is tho only uncompromising anti-Feminist i organization in Europe, It rejects with scorn the paltering and trifling anti- Femlnlsts elsewhere, who sa> that "conditions are not ripe for women's suffrage;" that "public opinion must/- li ��� prepared,' 'and so on. The new league throws all such casuistry and pusillanimous prevarication to the winds. It declares their women must not be emancipated at any time, to any small extent, or un- d< - any circumstances, and preaches thai the smallest concession lo the] mildest Feminist demand is equlva* j lenl in the destruction of the empire. (if course it is the professors who lead Professors lead In all Germany's social and political move- ments. The Anti-Emancipation league was started by professors. T'le chief! is i -o Kiel university P.rofep< | La!;;; man; the Berlin nerve special-. it, Professor Ollendorf; Prof. Sigis- imiiid, who is the author of an angry book on "Women's Suffrage," nnd other learned men. These men are holding meetings and writing pamphlets to prove that women do not need higher education; that they are unfit] for government employment; and. that their Intrusion into the learned professions will be fatal to them-; selves, to men, and to the professional sciences. In particular, tiie profes-! eors arc making war on the University of l!e*r!in, which seems to have been1 converted to Feminism; and is described by an angry leaguer as a "A Harem of Pseudo-Science." The "League foi Combatting Womr en's Emancipation" was founded only; a little mnn* than a year ago, but it1 has alrt.-adj liil.OOil members, and it holds well attended meetings, and frames important decisions. The fundamental decision is that Feminism must be fought, because Germany, without herself noticing it, is becoming one of the leading homes of heresy. The belief that Feminism in Germany has no prospects Is mistaken. There is no open agitation worth mentioning fir the vote, hut the vote is already a latent feature in politics, No country in the world has so many male voters committed to it. The whole Social Democratic par- V which counted in January. 1912, 4,- 259,000 Miters, is pledged to equal rivhts for women in all domains. The other most progressive party, the ��� Frelslnn," Is at present busily organizing its women for political work order if young female persons are put sweet reason and the avoidance of In command Of such men."

It em-bodies in its statutes orius points out with scorn to a pub- j the principle that men shall under no lished photograph shewing the first. circumstances be put under the control of young female persons. Unless say cynics- the young female persons are their wives. Progress in Education. Tl.e financial stimulus to the foun-1 di tion cf the league is the progress [ made by women during ihe last few i years in the domain of higher educa- ! tion. This progress began very late- I 1\. Women were prevented studying, for the learned professions; and the | obstacles were so great that today in I all German cities with over 50,01)0 | population there are only 06 women ; doctors and only 32 women dentists. ! Germany is worse far than Austria, \ Russia and th? Scandinavian coun- ! tries. That pleases the league, but just now the universities are spoiling eevrything by opening their doors to women. 1 Last year was a record year, inas- much as for the first time a woman | engineer and a woman lawyer were turned out. The woman engineer is Frauleiii Boutachlu, daughter of the , Servian minister of justice who has been given the degree of "Pipl. lug." | by Darmstadt technical high school, j j This degree gives her the right to practice as an engineer anywhere In j the German empire.

"There are a few Japanese who say America will finally insist upon war, and there is a 'yellow press* in Japan, just as there is in this country.

The navy has been appealing for years for revival of a higher grade than rear admiral. S.cretary Daniels was pleased by the senate's action and expressed confidence that the measure would pass the house and be Blgned by the presld nt. Buffalo, NY., Feb. 15���John J.

An open knife was lying on th? floor beside him. His juglar hai been severed and he died before a doctor arrived. Temporary insanity, induced by worry over his impending appearance before a New York grand jury, where District Attorney Charles S. Whitman has been conducting a John Doe graft inquiry, is said by District Attorney Michael Dirnberger, jr.. to be the only reason that can be a>- slgned for Mr. Kennedy's act. He had been subpoenaed to appear at the inquiry tomorrow. Mr. Kennedy went lo high mass with his son, William H. Kennedy, today, and returned to tha hotel with him about noon After greeting his wife and daughte. Mr. Kennedy said he was going Lo his room to lie down until they were ready for luncheon.

Osborne I i the investigation of state department. has been investigating reports that the state treasurer was intimately- connected with a bonding company that has been doing a large business with state contractors. Mr. Warner refused to disclose the specific line of inquiry he had made, but it is understood that it had reference to an alleged association between Kennedy, Oeorge H. McGuire and Charles W.

William Whitelaw, chairman of the North Uritish Railway company, does not consider that there Is any dearth of first clas3 young railway talent in ' the country. Sir Charles Renshaw, chairman of the Caledonian railway, thinks that one of the difficulties in retaining good railway men in Scotland is the slowness cf promotion. The Westminster (Jazette concludes a severe criticism of Lord Claude Hamilton by refusing to believe that Knglfshmen, who are the pioneers In the railway construction of the world, are incapable of managing the Great Eastern. fraud the public in canvassing persons in South Vancouver to joint the American Masonic Federation by misrepresentations.

While efforts were being made lo restore the apparently drowned boy to consciousness by ! means of artificial respiration, a men who bad been deprived of speech two years earlier aB the result of an accl- | dent, pushed through the crowd merely out of curiosity. As soon as he saw tbe prostrate boy, although not In any way related to him, the sight gave him such a shock that bis speech suddenly returned, and he fell to the ground In a state of collapse. Upon recovering he continued to speak freely, and has suffered no further Impediment since. It Is nol many years since a remarkable case of dumbness excited great interest In medical circles In Germany. Twelve months earlier a Bavarian cattle dealer had been kicked by a horse, with the result that he completely lost the use of hia voice. A year later he wa. riding a doomei horse to the knae'eer'd yard, when the animal, who cle- 'ly had pleuty of life in him, began to kick and .ilunge in a dangerous manner.

Green sunsets seen by the Russian explorers in the newly discovered polar land have been matched in England. Throughout November and December of 1883 the intensity and afterglows were of wonderful intensity and varied colors. At Chelsea especially the sun weut down over tbe Thames and a blaze of unearthly beauty ranging from deepest red to green, as may be seen in a series of water color sketches made at the time and now preserved in the Chelsea free library. Sir Norman Lockyer and other astronomers attributed these winter sunsets to the volcanic dust projected by the great eruption of Krakatoa, in Java, in the previous August. YOU ADVERTISE? When an advertiser advertises he wants to reach the people. Patronage is needed to make a business a success. In having a name anel business always before the public, or the name of a specially- named product, buyers have it In mind when that kind of a thing is wanted, if the ad. is in a handy place, only a moment is needed to refer to it. What better medium is there than the Telephone Directory? An advertiser wants circulation, and he gets it. Thirty-one thousand directories are Issued, and they go into every home that does considerable buying between Agassiz and the Gulf of Georgia. Every part of the district is covered. An advertiser apreciates a medium that is in constant use. The directory is used an average of eight times per subscriber per day, or over 210.000 times every twenty-four hours. These figures are not guessed at but are ascertained by actual count each month. Moreover, the directory is never discarded, it is referred to unceasingly and man, woman and child soon gets familiar with the names prominently displayed therein. An advertiser wants to make sure he is reaching the people he wants. Who is there who does not consult a telephone directory some time during the day? If a firm's name is displayed on several consecutive plages on the top or bottom, or if the names of a special article were shown there, would it not soon be known In every household on the lower mainland of British Columbia? If you have something to market, if you want to reach all the people all the time, take a look at the directory. It is a particularly- good medium for most purposes, and very probably it will be just what you want. BRITISH COLUMBIA TELEPHONE CO., LTD. J can be better imagined than de- I scribed.

The Order of the Thistle of which Lord Haldane is to be made a knight, dates only from the last day of 1703. Centuries earlier, however, the thistle was the national badge of Scotland, and the origin of its emblematic use is referred by tradition to the Danish invasion of Scotland. The Invaders planned a night attack, and marching barefoot, had contrived to creep close up to the Scottish forces unobserved, when one of them stepped on n thistle and uttered a cry of pain. The alarm waa given, and the attack failed. Out of gratitude the thisile was adopted as the insignia of Scotland.���London Chronicle. Coppers In South Africa.

Calgary, Feb. 15.���A most remarkable situation has arisen in connection with oil leases In the field southwest of Calgary, and one which will inevitably lend to a mass of litigation, and which threatens the security of a great many of those who have invested either in oil leases or in the stock of oil companies. It has been generally understood that while land tiled on for homestead purposes prior to 18JS9 carried to the homesteader the mineral rights thereunder, all homestead lands taken up since that date were without such mineral rights. These rights were supposed to be reserved by the government under an order in council passed in 1889, which provided that patents of that character issued by the crown all minerals should be reserved. This condition prevailed until 1908, when a new act was passed which explicitly provided that mineral rights should be excluded from homestead entries. It is on this basis that leases have been applied for by the crowds who have bJsleged the land office during the recent rush. II is estimated that about 50 per cent, of the til lands applied for in this district are for oil and gas rights under lands that were honiesitended between 1S86 or 1SS7 and BIOS. Had Not Right. it Is now stated on high legal authority that during all these years the government had no right under the law io make these reservations of mineral rights from homesteaders, and that the oil and gas rights under all those lands belong to the owners of the surface rights or to anyone to whom the owner of the surface rights may assign them. This contention, if correct, would mean that perhaps half live leases recently applied for are entirely valueless. What such a position will involve ]FARMER MUST PAY TORONTO LADY DAMAGES Toronto, Feb. 15.���A breach of pro- j mise case which lasted five minute* I and which cost W. A.

In the action Miss Emily Col- burn of Toronto sued W. A. Baker, a j farmer of Aids, Alta.. for $3000 for ��� breach of promise to marry her. The I claim states the defendant in letters j written by him to the plaintiff from Olds. Alta., promised to marry the | plaintiff, but he subsequently came * east and refused to marry the plaintiff on his arrival. When the ease was called Miss Col- burn was on hand, but no defendant responded to his case. As Bake." did not appear at the court, the case was over in five minutes and the jury after a short deliberation awarded $500 to the plaintiff, which includes superior costs. Swap with Government.

A man who supplies commodities to a community, whether that community is a neighborhood, a city, or the whole country, prospers only in so far as he subserves the interests of his patron?, This sounds elementary, but an amazing number of men are ignoring this doctrine in actual practice. In the past few years the public has been swinging to this view of not only large enterprises, like railroads and public utility corporations, but of smaller institutions. The merchant, large or small, who does not sense the full meaning of this changed viewpoint is doing himself serious injustice and is "in" for many a harassing experience. That the more progressive business men everywhere are becoming more fully aware of their public service functions is shown by such phrases as these which are occurring in greater and greater numbers in advertisements: "Our. store is your store." "We pay the clerks for your service." It is only by fully satisfying you that they can satisfy us." Many a business that is selling excellent goods and observing all the conventional rules of good merchandising is falling short of its greatest success just because the directing intelligence fails to comprehend this profoundly significant fact of business as a public service. Regarding the public as a body that exists for his convenience, the- manager keys his whole enterprise accordingly. Some day he wakes up to the sorrowful fact that for some reason or other he is* "out of tune." A vivid understanding of his true position as a director of a Public Service Enterprise will enable anyone who is now groping for the mysterious reason which will explain liis lack of complete success to clarify his problem, will energize the business anew and will raise unsatisfatcory service���and perhaps goods-��� that lose buyers into satisfactory service that keeps buyers and adds to them still others. Advertising that is reinforced by a dynamic policy of public service is unassailable. It is practically competition proof, given a measure of experience and judgment in direction.

Amongst tbe great heroes of the world the humble Sam Chambers Is rot reckoned, for his case Is too common, (hough be cut his lllo short to save those of bis fellow-men. Employed as an engine-winder at the Marlborough Pit. at Clown, Derbyshire, Eng., be was winding up a rage containing a number of men, when be was seized with a sudden Illness. ln his distre.eis. lie bravely stuck to lis post until the cage had reacbel safety, and then fell to tho Door, dying shortly afterwuds. Tho average person knows nothing o* the life of tbe men such as poc Sam Chambers, yet every day they prove they are true heroes. No man ha- a more harassing or nerve-straining task than tbat by which these ftal- lant men earn their dally bread. We hear of tbe stralE of driving a iram or locomotive, yet no engine- ] driver has such a f ightful strain on his mine! as the man at the wlndlng- ! levers of a coal-pit. Tbe englne-wluder passes his life 'out of the llme-llght, and ls seldom j thought about, although each day the : life of every man who goes down the I pit. or comes up, ls in his hands. He jdocs not see the men. nor do they see i him, but If he turns round oven for a 'few seconds, many lives may be lost. From the engine-house pass two preat steel cables to the big wheels, or pulleys, erected over the pit-shaft. They come from an enorrirus drum. As this revolves, a cage descends while anolb.r Is drawn to the surface. While one rope ls winding on at the bottom of tha drum, the other Is winding oft at the top. so that when one cage is on the landing-stage at the top of the pit, the other is at the at' go at the bo'tom. Thi engine-winder, nr "puller," usually sltei on a little, high stool, generally without any back, so that the man must pay attention to bis work. Opposite each hand Im a level, slnil- li r to those in railway Bignal-'"Oxes. Tbe object of one is to admit steam to tbe engines, ami so ste.rt Ibe wind- Ing; the other reverses tbe motion. Hi bas a brake-'ever at liis foot. Facing Ibe man Is a huge dial, standing on u massive pedestal, commonly known as the "clock-face." The large white fig.ii* s on this black dial start from zero at. the top, Increasing until tbey rench the "6 o'clock" position, and then decreasing until tbey reach zero again. The "clock-face" bears a single land, which points to the f* urea showing the position of the cage in th rhaft. As tbe ponderous "ngin ����� airn the enormous drum, the man keeps his ���whole attention fixed on the clock- face. When the hand show.; that the journey is nearly over, the "pullee" i lowly puts on the brake. Tlten comeR a warning bell to denote hat the cage is nearly at the top. For accurate mersurem 'tits, tbe man then turns his Pttention to ehallt- mares on the drum. At, soon as one of these marks reaches a certain position, down goes tbe puller' font, and the engine Is brought to rer' linmedi- 'ely. No othei perpon is allowed to tak the winder's ppce. When he requires -"st. he gets out of his chair and stan s. as a change from the monotony, Cenera'Iv he has to take his meals i mouthful at a time. When he is lu t'ty he may obtain a rest of thirty eieci nds now and then. In which (o eat bis food. It ,s r.oi unusual for him to take home the r.-.eal he brought untouched.

Very littje class was exhibited in the two soccer games played on city parks Saturday afternoon in connection with .he Charity cup. At. Sapperton the Rovers had little difficulty in defeating City 3-0, while tbe Hankers came through with a victory at the expense of liurnaby playing at Moody park. The City team put up a disorganized exhibition which was flashy In spots and with three exceptions, Freddie Hayes, who made his debut as a custodian, had little if anything to do. .lock Bruce went through alone after five minutes of play, giving the opposition custodian little chance to make a clearance. This was followed by counters by Carinduff, his first this year, and Shawcross. At Moody, pearl Dunford was the shining light, scoring hot.li goals for the monled interests. Tbe Hurnaby team lias been shattered since the can factory removed Its plant, to Vancouver and were never in the running against the Hankers on Saturday.

"Rorke's Drift," a romance relating j back to the Zulu war In South Africa many years ago, will be the feature i film at the Edison theatre today. The i story In connection with the play runs ��� as fellows: In Rorke's Drift in 1879, 80 men un- tier Lieutenants Chard and llromhead, of the British army, were attacked by j 4000 Zulus, and held their pitifully i weak position d spite the tremendous j odds. Our story of the fight centres ' about the person of Tommy Brandon, a young soldier in the British army. I Tommy was very much In love with i Grace, the sister of Kenneth Linden, a brother soldier. Since Ken Linden was pitifully weak, Tommy had promised Draco to watch over him, and keep him out of scrapes. Hence, one evening when Ken cheated in a card game, Tommy allowed the guilt to rest upon his own shoulders. His generous effort Blonde Esquimaux Irish. The Rev. C. F. O'Leary, pastor of the Catholic Church of Notre Dame. who recently returned from a visit fo Ireland, is convinced that the white Esquimaux discovered by Vlh- jalmur StefTansson are fn reality descendants of early Irish Bettlers. "It is my belief." said Father O'Leary, "that St. Brendan anel bis monks settled In America in the r.ixth century. Many historians believe this. Brendan was a great i mariner, as well us a great student, nnd with his missionaries were going oul by tbe stores from Ireland (o Germany, Italy, France and other countries. The Norwegians formerly called America 'the Lesser Ireland,' and we have the evidence of Brendan's discoveries in tin* sea which long was named for him Mare Brcndanlcum." Peril of st. Paul's. In an article in "The Peril of 5t. Paul's" in t'ne Architects and Builder's Journal, Mr. .1. M. \V. Halley states that ilu* weight of 'be cathedral dome down lo he top of tho piers i* 32,000 tons; that the piers consist, merely of a cove-lng ol Portland over a con* of rubble; and that lhe dome leans over a few Inches to tho southwest, a deviation fiom the truth which lias increased in recent years. "Wren through lack of knowledge of tleiie-n Inadvertently '.eii too small a margin of safety In his supports, Tb.* building is ,ol at re-it, as the continual breaking of cement proves, and the slightest alteration miglu have disastrous resu' ." Excavatloi should be prohibited, Mr. Halley suggests. In a definite area around tiie cathedral. I','.i*i:ty of surprises, which after all lend a little spice to the games were handed out in lOnglish football on Saturday afternoon when all four leagues were seen In action following cup ties. Probably the biggest eye opener of tbe day was the defeat of Manchester United on the Newton Heath grounds 'to Burnley. Only one goal was scored but this enabled the visitors to climb to the same position on ti," league table as the Uniteds and within striking distance of Sunderland In second place. Aston Villa came back in remarkable fashion when, journeying to Sheffield, they del'eal- ed the Wednesdays, who last week I invaded and licked Liverpool in slm- | liar fashion. Saturday was a bad day i for Sheffield, the Uniteds meeting de- i feat at the hands of Everton, 5-0. Newcastle Uniteds who have only 1 been shadows of their former great sc.lves this season, tripped up the i chances of Chelsea by winning on the j London grounds. The "Geordies" are iu a low position and a win over Chel- j sea should count when the season is i over and the league delegates decide on the two tallend clubB dropping out I of senior company. Second Division. In the second division t'.ie one surprise was the defeat of Woolwich on the Arsenal grounds by Huddersfield, who are fourth from the foot of the ladder. Notts County winning at G'los- sop and the defeat of the "Gunners" puts the two teams on an even footing with chances of the County pulling out before the season ends. Southern League. Very little change is seen in the standings of the southern league. Swindon Town making an excellent draw at Coventry, while Crystal Palace came through with a win over the Bristol Rovers. The results place the teams on an even standing in the number of points, each having compiled 24. The following are the results, together with the standings eif the first division clubs: First Division. Blackburn Rovers 2, Manchester City 1. Bolton Wanderers 2, Liverpool 1.

"There is overcrowding in Mal- mesbury, and there are houses wh. re, in case of death the living and the dead have to be in the saint- room," said Canon McMillan, vicar of Malmesbury, preaching before 'he mayor and corporation in Malmesbury Abbey. "I have seen a roflin used as an extemporized sideboard with plates and other things upon it, and I bave seen, although I am not prepared to say, whether In Malmesbury or elsewhere, the living family dining on the coffin ol trie dead."

Tommy regained his good name when the Zulus commenced an active campaign, 'ihe message of the impending danger to Rorke's Drift was telegraphed to Tommy's company by Grace, who had seen the Zulus massing for tlie attack. Tommy begged his commander to allow him to ride to Lord Chalmsford for reinforcements. The commandeer consented and Tommy started on his perilous journey. On the way, he came upon a band of Zulus who had captured the colors from the cowardly Linden. Tommy recklessly charged them, and rescued the flag. Then he continued c.-n his way through t'ne midst of peril, antl reached Lord Chalinsftird in lime te> j send the relief expedition to the gallant little band at Rorke's Drift. Meanwhile, Grace had found hi r dying brother, nud had learned from him the full Btory of Tommy's generosity. At Rorke's Drift, 400 dead Zulus here ; witness to tbe* prowess of the desperate band.
