PRICE FIVE CENTS. TO DO AWAY WITH Desires of Fifth Street Rate* .payers Concurred In By City Council. All Wires to Be Placed In Conduits��� Will Approach Telephone ' Company. In the opinion of Alderman Kellington, chairman of the board of works the decision arrived at by the joint meeting of the city council and the Fifth street ratepayers yesterday morning in regard to au extensive local improvement lighting scheme, on Fifth street will have a very important bearing on the future lighting and laying out of Improvements, in the residential streets. The plan decided upon by the meeting was to place all lighting ahd telephone wires in conduit, concealed beneath the thirty-six foot boulevard which will divide the proposed two thirty-six foot bltulithic roadways on certain streets. Connections to the houses would be made beneath the pavement in the same manner as water or ���sewers are at the present time, while uinsightly telegraph poles, telephone wires and derrick are lights would be replaced by neat Iron standards ln the centre of the boulevard surmounted by a white globed arc. which would cast light on all sides and not be shadowed by overhanging trees. The Street Beautiful. Mr. J. J. Mahoney, the spokesman (or the Fifth street deputation, wished th�� committee of the council to understand that the city would not be required to pay for the proposed Improvements. It was to be strictly financed by the property owners who were desirlous only of making the street one of the most beautiful ln the city. Alderman Kellington, on behalf of the city, stated that the action of the rmta-Mayar* trtsp. bum. most ouBortune.. as the fwiKJied lighting- 'sfmSl jffEfnt easilv be included along with the paving Improvement already On foot. With much less cost than if It had been projected later. Instruct Electrician. Many American cities on the Paci- Clc slope, declared the alderman, were advocating similar streets to ���this, and be thought it would be well if the cltv electrician, Mr. Patrick Bowler, should be Instructed to evolve a consistent scheme of lighting and submit It to the council at an early date. This might be optionally adopted by the ratepayers of other city streets as the opportunity afforded. The suggestion of Alderman Kellington was put In the form of a motion and adopted, and he was asked to proceed immediately with the plans. It was also decided to convene meetings between the council, the ratepayers, and tbe British Columbia Teh-phone, company, in order to ' ariive at au agreement regarding the disposition of telephone wires In conduits, on all the principal streeta, or. falling In that, to place them in the lanes.

Of In pronouncing sentence on George Spilos, a Greek restaurant keeper of Uegbie street, convicted of assaulting a girl employed by bim as a waitress, Magistrate Edmonds yesterday morning regretted that $20 and costs was the heaviest penalty he could impose under the circumstances. His worship remarked that, as it appeared to him, every feature of the case had been particularly brutal and unwarranted in that there had been absolutely no excuse fcr the action of the accused in striking the girl. The young lady, who was the informant in the case, mounted the witness box with bruises caused by Spilos' fist still plainly/evident upon her face. She stated that she had been employed by him fn the cafe for some time as a waitress. He had made indecent proposals to her, aud this had been partly responsible fos her decision to leave. ..She informed her employer of her Intention, and asked for her wages. A quarrel ensued, and In the heat of passion Spilos struck her heavily in the face, knocking her to the floor insensible. The girl exhibited several minor bruises on the arms in support of her statement that she had been struck more than once. Spilos did not offer any defence, pleading guilty to the charge.

Manning, will pass up at the end of the week en route from Newcastle, Eng., for Vanoouver. She will call off this port to pick up a pilot to take her to the Terminal City. Word was received from San Diego yesterday stating that the tug had put in there on Saturday for coal. She got away on the last leg of her long voyage yesterday and she should thake the run up the coast in flve or six days. The Dreadful ls making a fast trip from the United Kingdom, reaching the California port 75 days out from Glasgow. This is one of the fastest passages made for some years by a vessel of the size of the Dreadful and she Is making better time than some of the larger steamers that have arrived recently. She should complete the 15,000-mile voyage In about 82 days, The steam trawler Orontes. which arrived here only a short time ago from Bowling, Scotlan*, took over 100 days to come around Cape Horn. The Dreadful Is to engage In towing the booms of logs from the logging camps to the mills at New Westminster. 8he was built by Messrs. Jones, Pollock & Sons, on the Thames, and is a staunch craft. The Dfeadfut will be overhauled at Vancouver before she commences her duties on this coast as a towboat. ��������������������������������������������� ��� DEATH OF JAPANESE EMPEROR IMMINENT Tokio, July 24���The latest bulletin'..given out by the physicians attending the emperor, gave i out disquieting news late this evening In that the royal sufferer had taken a' turn for the Wors0.

J. li. B. and Miss Florence McLeod, arrived at their home in this city yesterday after a live months' trip to Australia. ihe travelers had a most enjoyable time while away and visited all thc leading towns of the eastern section of Australia as well as Auckland, New Zealand. Suva and Honolulu. "Leaving Westminster on February 21, Mrs. and Miss McLeod took, passage at Vancouver on one of the Australian liners for the land of the Southern Cross. The first call made after leaving the Terminal City was at Victoria, which was merely for the purpose of taking on a f^w passengers and mails. Eight days after leaving the Capital the steamer reached Honolulu, the famous city of the Hawaiian islands. A stay of several hours was made here, and the tourists went ashore and visited some of the most attractive spots of the mid-Pacific city. Suva, in the Fiji islands, was the next stop after leaving Hawaii, and then the vessel proceeded straight to Auckland, the great port of northern New Zealand, where the steamer laid up for another short period. About three weeks after leaving Vancouver tbe distant shores of Australia were sighted aud the port of Sydney was entered.- Sydney Harbor. Disembarking at Sydney the ladies .'^.LcogJhiipnrtMl their tour.of,tbe country, *������ And Melbourne, Drum. MllUwa aa<}/ s^Viertfl'-Other places were visited. ��� The ladles were .very much Impressed by the beautiful harbor of Sydney, which is said to be the larg est and finest in the world, but considered the city itself rather old fashioned. Very few of the streets of this place, Mlss McLeod statad, were straight and modern and it is said that tbey were made originally out of old bullock trails which used to run in all directions from the town when it was not quite so large as lt is at the present time. Tbe tourists however, thoroughly enjoyed their stay there and were rather sorry to leave. Mrs. and Miss McLeod considered that Melbourne was the best city In Australia on account of its modern and beautiful appearance. The travelers were very much struck with the excellent suburban steam train service tbat is operated In Melbourne. This they declared to be a decided improvement on the existing means of suburban transportation In Vancouver and New Westminster and the traveling charges were reasonable. "Tbe states of Victoria and. Queensland," Baid Miss McLeod, "were suffering greatly from drought when we were there, despite- the Wet that It was winter time in Australia. The cattle and sheep as well as human beings suffered greatly, and ln some places through which we had occasion to pass thero had been ho rain for over three months, and as a result there was very little grass left for the cattle and sheep to feed on. "We kuow of one instance where a man lost 700 head of sheep by starvation, and cattle and rabbits were dying in large numbers throughout the affected area dally. Of course, the farmers were glad to see the rabbits die as they are considered a pest in thc country, but it was a different thing when thetr flocks and herds began to decrease with the scarcity of grass and the unusual heat . "In som| places every scrap of jreen was either burned up or eaten and we often wondered how the surviving animals managed to eke out their lives." . Call England "Home." Speaking of the characteristics of the Australian people. Mlss McLeod said: "The people of Australia are very English in both their style of living and .dress, and thay would be iiard to beat for hospitality. Everybody ls loyal to the British empire and they think a great deal of 'Home' \\b they call England, Scotland and Ireland. - "In New Zealand the people are 'ven mere patriotic to Britain than ihe people of Australia, and they are always prepared to demonstrate '.heir loyalty." Australia, Miss McLeod thought, was not sp far adyaped as Canadi '.n the way cf modern butldlngst electricity and such like. The crying lecessltles In the court.rv at the presort t'me, Mlss McLeod sa'd,'were farr' laborers and -domestic servants.

James O'Grady, M.P., v-ho withdrew from the House of Con-;>ions because the speaker would not permit a debate on the strike, referred to Lord Devonport as tbe "earth's best criminal." The control of the strikers' families has become difficult. The streets ate filled with hollow-eyed women and children. Many have died, wholly from starvation. The number of victims is so great that the authorities and private charitable organizations are unable to cope witlj the situation. Lord Devonport is chairman of the port of London.

He was a partner with Judge Elwln for some time, who, It is stated, sup piled an equal share. of the capital necessary for bringing the cattle for breeding purposes Into the country.

H Wlll Confer with Pinkertons���Expects to Bring Back Dean to , Canada. tWl the result of a conference wbleh I Cblot otWoltoe Bradshaw will holOhsft Seattle -today with the Plnkerton detectives employed in running the perpetrators of the Bank of Montreal robbery to earth, wlll hinge several important Issues which have been slowly but surely maturing for weeks and months past. One of the most important of these wiU be tbe removal of Charles Dean, one of the most notorious of tbe several suspects from the prison in Los Angeles where he has been detained for a matter of six months or so, to the Westminster jail. Dean fought extradition doggedly, and his attitude caused a considerable loss of time for those who had the law on their side, but on Tuesday the last obstacle was removed from the path of the Canadian authorities wbeu the extradition papers were signed, and the Los Angeles police declared their ". ilingness to relinquish ali claim on the man. Hefore he left last evening Chief Cradshav declared that it wa-s- iworo than possible tnat be would bring Dean back with bim when he returned one week hence . This, however, would depend largely upon the decision reached at the meeting today. It was to be a communion of the powers, and its portent would be decidedly disquieting, to several suspects, ot which as yet the public had not heard. Nothing definite, however, could be given to the press at this stage as the advantageous moment had not yet arrived. Inspector Ahearn, of thc Pinker- ton's, who ls directing the case for the Bank of Montreal, passed through this city on Tuesday on his way to Victoria, where he has recently been retained ln another Important case.

COLDICUTT their lives. At the Dome the week before the fateful July II they had had a tough fight with fire nud had dug s reservoir in the centre of the propeity to supply wster for the pipes that had been laid from one end ol the property to the other. When therefore the fire leaped down on ths Dome from the bush that hot afternoon Mr. Meek and everyone else thought they were well prepared to meet it, and he and his staff fought it till the last gasp. He remained so long, in fact, that he did not arrive back at his own house, where his wife, his wife's mother, Mrs. Paddock, and his two children were, before the flames had leaped clear over the intervening space which had been cleared and set his house on fire. With him were F. Battersby 1). G'. Bissett, L. H. Solman and a man named Cooper, all of the Dome staff. The fire raged around them, cutting off every chance of escape and for what seemed eternities they huddled nn the little grass plot near the rain- barrels. When all appeared to be over, Mr. Meek says that he can just remember seeing a face appear out of the smoke and a minute afterwards he felt a splash of water on his face. It was Fdward Bell, who was ladling water out of the barrels with his old, soft felt hat. Then he lest consciousness. He learned from Bell afterwards, though the foreman carpenter of the Dome does not talk iiiue'i abo'it tho incident, that when he arrived Mrs. Meek's skirt and foot were on flre; .ind that he flrst applied himself t> putting it out. Then, coolly and. calmly, while the fire swept all living organising out of existence all around him and the hot air- scorched, the lungs, he continued to dip ir.to tha barrels, sou*e himself and distribute the water impartially over the proa trate figures round nlm. The fire was at its heiaht at two o'clock, at four the danger was over, snd Edward Boll and a few square inches of grass had savr I gpv^n people. They had grHT.etl deatli, but tliey were alive mainly because Edward Bell walked out a sons of comparative safety into a whirlwind of smoke and flame and for a lull hour, never knowing when he would be roasted alive, with a level heud ftnd a steady hand, threw water out of hi* old liat wherever hc snw a spark full or a flame burst nut on the exhausted (inures round the water barre'.s. Edward Bell still works at the Dnme. and it is safe to say that the me,i who work for him and tlio��e win work with him know nothing of this story, for he is not that kind of man; he acts, he doesn't talk. But Mr. Meek did talk, aud he talked to Mr. A. R. Turner, the genera! manager of the Canadian Copper Co. a* Copper Cliff. Mr. Turner took the matter up whole-heartedly ami lni.) the facts beiore the Carnegie Hen' [���"und and the British authorities. A few da; i ago the news de: patches told of the honor Edward Bell had received at the hands of the K;n�� and it is hard to see how it would be possible for a man to more des pointed him Commissioner for Canada ior the New South Wales Exhibition in 16111. Sir Henry Illy tli Hill will probably v\\\\* the Dominion ou the same mission. He has had a distinguished career in the Egyptian army, and saw not service in the Soudan campaign. While Judue Ms bee, on the bench, brushed aside technicalities and stood in little awe of precedents, ha was laborious and exact in all his investigations and many of his written opin- i iona will long remain as monuments I to his industry. His great faculty, however, was his immediate instinctive sense of right and justice. He was to some extent handicapped by the failure of Parliament to establish standards and principles Ior the guidance of the commission and was often compelled to limit his judgments by the somewhat arbitrary rates and classifications so elaborately huilt up hy the railways of this continent antH sanctioned by the United States Inter- sta'^e Commerce Commission, a body also handicapped by the timidity uf Uie national legislature. On the other hand, in certain cases, notably in the case of the Toronto viaduct, he entered decrees, knowing them to the ultra vires of the Railway Act, heing confident that Parliament would ratify th�� same by curative legislation. One of his last decisions was thst rendered at Ottawa on April 10. which placed upon the railway companies the onus of justifying higher freight rates in the we.-t than those prevailing in the east of Canada. He la^t sat in the commission at the hearings in Toronto on April 29. He presided with his usual force snd ability, holding counsel well in hand and expediting the business before him. One matter which came up was nn application from a citizen in Locust Hill, who had several complaints to make ahout the railway company. "This mnn," said an official, "has written about twenty letters making al^ sorts of complaints." "Oh well." said the chairman *mil^ ingly, "he is evidently an Irishman and he is entitled to write all the letters he wants to." It will !>e hard to replace Judge Mabee. When Judge Killam died many felt that the Government hsd a hard task hefore it in choosing his successor, but the Laurier Government measured up to the task superbly when it selected the late chairman. Thero will be no division of sentiment throughout the country. He was a big man in every serine of the word, brave, ahle. and public-spirited. He adorned the bench and shed lustre upon the Railway Commission. ���The Toronto World. Is Held to Presage Coming of Similar Naval Law to German Measure. London, July 24.���The ��peech of Rt. Hon. Winston Spencer Churchill, Fire* Lord cf the Admiralty, yesterday on the supplementary naval appropriations, has provoked widespread discussion, both at home and abroad. It ls held in some quarters to presage the institution of a naval law on similar lines to the German measure to provide for a systematic growth of tne navy over a series of years. It was so Interpreted by Lord Sel- born, who was First Lord of the Admiralty 1900-05, in a brief speech ln cbe House of Lords today. He declared that Mr. Churchill's words ought "to be written In letters of gold in both Houses of Parliament." In the same debate, Viscount Haldane, Lord High Chancellor, who re eently visited Berlin for the interest of the Anglo-German relations, made a statement to the effect that Ger many had been told ln the friendliest manner that whatever naval efforts she might make Great Britain would make still greater. "We have said," he added, "that we would do this with no intention of aggression, but because sea power is our life and in sea power we intend to remain superior." Dr. O. Gordon Hewitt, Dominion Entomologist, says, referring to the infantile death rate from intestinal diseases and diarrhoea spread by tbe house fly, he believes that the so-called harmless fly is yearly causing tbe death of thousands of infants, as well as spreading .the germs of typhoid fever.

DRY GOODS FURNITURE bert & Sullivan aspect, ln a week or two the cruiser Rainbow will be depleted of half of her complement as tho agreements under which the men Signed on are about to expire and 50 of them will roturn to England leaving the cruiser half-manned and with no prospects of securing more men. When Sir Wilfrid Laurier launched his navy scheme with thc old cruisers Nioble and Rainbow, purchased ��& for training purposes, the ships were manned by the royal naval men who signed on for the Canadian Government, some for two years, some for three years and a small number for , five years. These men worked the ships out to Halifax and Esquimalt respectively and were full of enthusiasm at the beginning. In the case of the Rainbow, she paid her first visit to Vancouver on Nov. 23, 1910, when Commander Stewart voiced the sentiments of the ship's company. But the reluctance of the Canadian boy to go to sea was something which could not be foreseen and so the Rainbow has been on the coast 20 months and the recruiting has been an absolute failure. Furthermore, the cruiser has also lost a number of the royal navy men who came out for instructional purposes. The last time the cruiser was in Vancouver she was short-handed below and d'd not muster a full sea watch on dec!<. The two-year men whose time ts up shortly, are all going back to England, and the Rainbow seems destined to become a fixture at Esquimalt dockyard, for no recruits have come on. ^^^^^_ It is well known that the sailors have not been delighted with the treatment meted out by the Canadian Government. The pay and victualling allowances are lower than the scale obtaining in the Australian service and another matter which has caused irritation is that men on the small tugs used for government fisheries protection are drawing nearly double the pay of the trained men on the Rainbow who have been engaged in ��� similar work. In view of the great interest In Premier Borden's forthcoming announcement of a navy policy for Can- ) ada, it is well to bear In mind that the formation of a Canadian navy, if the department of naval service, depends on Canadians to man the ships, will be a matter of extreme difficulty. Twenty months on the coast, practically no recruits, many trained men ��� gone, a largo detachment to leave I shortlv and the Rainbow underman- 1 ned does not form an encouraging summary of the progress of Canada's navy on the racillc. over the route is expected to be only j BritiBh a mere formality.

Seventy-Five P-r cent of Wheat in Blossom, "Winnipeg, July 24.���The Free Pres3 crop report today says: "In the Interval which has elapsed since the last report appeared on July 9, the weather has twice been exceptionally cold, with touches of frost at a number of places. Reports of Hessian fly and excessive hail damage were current about the grain exchange. "Ninety-three points reported 75 per cent of the wheat in blossom. "Eighty-six points, well distributed over the three provinces reported frost varying from 1 to 7 degrees. Twenty-seven points report additional hail damage since the last report, and ten points report damage from Res- sian fly. This d.image is very slight, with the exception of one point, which reports 20 per cent. A very few points report damage from cut worm, these principally in Alberta. A Bmall portion of points report rain still needed, but 19 points report needing sunshine. It has generally; been held by farmers and others experienced in wheat that one degree of frost damages wheat in thc blossom. It would appear from tests just made, however, by Prof. Bedford, the new deputy minister of agriculture, that it depends on the state of thc blossom, and that while the blosj im is always exceptionally suscepti'ile lo change of temperature, there io a stage when it is said to bear a sl'gfct degree of frost without apparent Injury. "It will not be possible to ascertain the damage until the wheat is threshed. Very often partially filled heads which are attributed to blight are really due to a frost nip In the blossom stage."

The proposition to bring out another casterfo team would be very unpopular in 'Vancouver, and, speaking for hundreds of fans in that city, would prov* a dismal failure. Such games would be lacking of the -snap and spice that the Westminster team has, and would certainly give the sport o'n i the coast a black eye from which it would take years to recover.
