SAYS SOVIETISM _■ WORST TYRANNY

American Communist- SawBolshevism; Condemns It

Reval, April 7.—‘The decaying civilization or Soviet Russia” was de picted as the worst tyranny in the world by Dr. Morris Sucker, known here as a leader and organiser of the Communist Party In the United States, and whose heme la in Brook lyn, N. Y., on his arrival here to-day from Moscow after nearly five months in Russia^

“Conditions steadily are becoming worse, “ he declared. “What little foreign trade Russia is able to get Is of no help to the people, who are everywhere the victims of tyranny, and go pbout In a hopeless attitude because of the great constant terror.

Dr, Zucker last June was pardoned by President Wilson after having been sentenced to, fifteen years on being found guilty of sedition in New York city. He left the United States in September, and arrived in Russia in November. Three days after his arrival in Moscow he was Imprisoned, and spent most of the time he was in Russia in confinement

Victims*Inside the prison, Dr. Zucker said,

he met victims of Bolshevik tyranny, most of whom were there because they had opposed being ruled by the small Bolshevik minority. These in eluded* former grand dukes and work men. whose common ground, accord ing to Dr. Zuker, was the* opposl lion to “absolute tyranny.”

Dr. Zuker. who arrived here with a group of Germane on the way home from Russia, where they had been prisoners, said he hoped to return to the United States to relate the facts regarding Russia, and disillusion those who thought there was any­thing like freedom under the Soviets.

Outlook.“The present regime will undoubt

edly continue for a long time, but it must make epochal changes to hold on. Its power of terror is too great for it to be overthrown now,” sold Dr. Zucker. \

Zucker went ffl Russia to Investi­gate whether there was a real dicta­torship of the proletariat or a dicta torshlp of a handful. He said he had found the latter to be the case. On his arrival In Moscow he was told by Santeri Nuorteva. formerly sec ret ary of Ludwig Martens. “Soviet Ambassador to the United States, and now Controller of foreigners in Russia,. to whom he presented him­self. that it would be Inadvisable to

ÇM-mit him to investigate conditions.herefore, Nuoreva declared. * Dr

Zucker would be sent out of Russia in a few days Meanwhile, he was In formed he was to be detained in prison. His detention continued un­til March 27, and he left Moscow last Thursday.

Storm of Prairies Down Wires

Broke

Winnipeg. April 8.—Telegraph and telephone services leading into Win­nipeg were badly crippled yesterday as the result of an ice storm oq Wed nesday. No press wires have been operated to this city for thirty hours. The Canadian Press wire to Regina and farther West was lost Wednes day night, and has been silent since that time. Saskatchewan and A1 berta newspapers are receiving- a news report from Beattie via Van couver and Calgary. Winnipeg pa pete received nothing yesterday until late In the afternoon, but in the evening the Canadian National Rail way telegraphers had succeeded in re-establishing connection with St. Paul and Eastern Canada, and a frag mentary news report was secured.

San**- Warmer*. *The weather to-day Is "fins and

turning warmer and the Ice will be melted from the wires, but it will be some days before a normal service la restored everywhere. Officials of the Canadian Pacific Telegraphs expect­ed this morning that wires east and sbuth of Winnipeg would be working during the day, but no hopea were entertained that wires west of Win­nipeg would be recovered as miles of poles are down.

DECLARE SHIPS OPERATED AT LOSS

Opposition Members Speak of Canada’s Vessels

Ottawa, April fwnadlan Oov- eminent merchant ships were under severe fire in the House of Com­mons last evening. It was charged by the Opposition that the vessels. In­stead of showing an operating profit last year, had been operated at deficit.

WUHam Duff, Lunenburg, who led the Opposition attack, claimed that the loss to the country In the value t>f the ships and in operation was al ready 8r>8,6€9,962. He estimated that depreciation In value alone was |38,- 9(7,450.

The Prime Minister.” declared Mr. Duff, “did not know what he i talking about when he said that the financial condition of the ‘Govern - «wot Merrtrimt Wxrîffï* was fair and satisfactory.* ” Mr. Duff favored Canadian merchant marine, but not one operated by the Government, soon a# the* armistice was signed, the Minister of Marine should have abandoned " his shipbuilding p gramme.

-------- Mr. Ballanlyne.Hon. C. C. Bailantyne attacked

Hon. Rodolphe Lemieux on the ground that the latter was incon­sistent In his attitude toward the Government Merchant Marine. Mr Iseroleux. the Minister of Marine stated, had said that he favored shipbuilding «for war purposes only, and that when the armistice was signed, the Government should have cancelled all outstanding contracta. He continued that Mr. Lemieux had not opposed . the Government ship­building programme In 1919, but had spoken in favor of the appropriation.

^ Supply.In the afternoon the House went in­

to committee of supply on & motion by 81r Henpy Drayton, Minister of Finance, for an Interim supply of 871,499,761. being one-sixth of the total tabled In the House. '

Hon. W. Ia Mackenzie King ob­jected to voting blindly one-sixth of the total estimates. He said he ex­pected that the estimate* would be considerably reduced as the result of the discussion in the House.

Hon. W. 8. Fielding raised the point thatcon T.hurwlaye and Fridays the House might goTnto supply with­out any delay, but on those days es­timates could not be taken up of any department which had not previously been under consideration. A motion of this kind, therefore, could only be adopted by general consent.

Sir Henry Drayton withdrew^ the motion, and the committee took up the Marine Department estimates.

Grain Inquiry.Premier ifelghen «aid the Govern­

ment had not as yet appointed a com­mission to investigate the grain trade. Hon. T A. Crerar had asked as to- the truth of a report that Judge Hynd- man. of Edmonton, and W. D. Staples, of Winnipeg, had been selected as two members of the commission.

Commissioners Hall and North Defeat Mayor in Salary

MovePolice salaries will be increased in

Victoria as a result of a decision reached by the City Police Commis­sion at its meeting last night. No definite .figure has been decided yet. but the Commission decided to boost the wages of uniformed men at least five per cent, and those of detectives at least ten per Cefit. lt~'is likely that even larger increases than,this will be allowed when the matter comes up again, as Commissioner Joseph North favors a big raise while Commissioner Dr. Ernest Hall agrees that the police should be well paid Mayor Porter, chairman of the Com­mission, is opposed to any increase, but, of course, he was out-voted by his colleagues.

Deserve Increase."The officers deserve an Increase

in salary," Mr. North declared when he introduced the question of a salary

"Following the example of those across the Hay who do a great deal of talking arid a very little work those who do a great deal of work and very little talking should have their salaries advanced as well," Dr. llall agreed. "In my opinion the force ts not- well paid, especially the de­tective force."

Dr. Hall moved that the salaries of constables be increased at least five per cent, and those of detectives at least ten per cent. This raise, he said, would mean an increased ex­penditure of 17,000 or $8,000.

Mr. North urged that constables be paid $150 a month, detectives $175,

there had been no seconder to either l>r.. Hall’s or Mr/ North's proposal». To âàve an akward situation Mr. North agreed to support Dr. Hall's motion on condition that the pro­posed Increases were not limited to five- and ten per cent. He wanted an Increase which at least Would compensate the police for the fact that they had lost the privilege of free boots.

Chief of Police Fry urged that the wages of every member of the police force should be increased. He quoted figures to show that Vancouver police were paid much more than the local officers though the Victoria of­ficers underwent just as much risk. A five per cent. Increase would not bring the Victoria scale up to that prevailing in Vancouver he said.

"In all other civic departments we found It Impossible to increase salaries," the Mayor pointed out. "I must be consistent and oppose this increase,^sorry as I am to do U. “We have no "money to meet our obllga lions so 1 am free to oppose this in­crease."

Final# Dr. Hall’s motion was passed. The Mayor asked that his objection be recorded.

Net a Severe Bite.At the close of the meeting Mr.

Nqrth and Dr. Hall assured the police that they would-set* thirty by them. "We have shown the body of the police force we have no animosity toward them and we want to be their friends," said Dr. Hall. "By putting the whole force on Its honor I think we shall get better results. Our bark has been pretty bad but our bite is not very severe."

This same man (Mr. Palmer) stated here that the people didn’t want en­forcement of the law but camouflage. If that came from a Police Commis­sioner—and I don’t say it did—he was not carrying out his oath of office.

AH of us understand. I like Mr. Pajmer. He will be all right under Mr. Fry, and they will get along well together.”

"Have I permission to ask a ques lion.’’ Mrs. Palmer, wife of the De puty Chief, asked.

‘We pick out the best man to run our own private business.” Mr. North went on, “and we picked Mr. Fry, thinking that he was the best man to be Chief of l\>Mce. I like the boys of the (1. W. V. A. and the Army and Navy all of them—but 1 am here to do business. I'll stand by the decls

Comrade J Food, of the G. W. V.

He thought that the Commissioners might have made a mistake in their Police Chief appoir tment. Ip this case he felt that the Commissioners «should rectify theif error.Mr».

take a hand In the fight. "Mr. North Inferred that Mr. Palmer was willing to do hia duty, but the heads were too strong for him," he remarked and asked Mr. North to explain.

NOTE AND COMMENT

THE PLAIN TRUTH.

As a naval man of enviable accomplishments and in. posses sion of an international repute tion of which he may be justly proud Rear-Admiral Sims would hardly be true to his calling if he came, out flat-footed for great reduction in naval organ­ization. At the same time he qualifies any leaning he may have for the perpetuation of his own profession with the sug­gestion that the whole problem shoilld be thoroughly eonsid ered. But he speaks as plainly upon the subject of a navy's purpose as he has done upon those occasions* when his candor has shaken the walls of official dom to their very foundations. He says that “if a man telle you ‘we need a large navy to do our share in the policing the seas of the world’ don’t believe him The navy is for orie purpose, to fight.’,’OL.-courae it is... lie could have said the same about armies, Here is the crux-of the whole question. As long as the nations of the world continue to pile up the various forms of fighting equipment somebody will devise a means for its use in spite of the League of Na­tions. Do away with it and di­plomacy—secret or % pen—will demand men of holiness instead of men schooled in political intrigue.

It will soon be time for the Allied Supreme Council to make known its intentions towards Germany in the event of her continued refusal to pay the re parations bill. The present pol­icy of occupation does nothing more than impress a few thou sands of her population. Such yevenue as may be exacted through an Allied customs zone, will merely contribute towards the cost of maintaining the troops on foreign soil. If it is intended that the debtor nation shall discharge her obligation it would be better to conunence more definite squeezing process

A march to the capital may not be prsc ticable for many reasons ; but the seizure of German ports with all the available «hipping, and a few of the larger indus­trial plants would impress her a good deal more effectively than the sort of friendliness which appears to have sprung up be tween the people or Duesseldorf and the troops quartered there. The lunger the delay the more difficult it will be to apply sterner measures.

Victoria may rest assured that she will get her share of con ventions during the next two or three years. But it may be a far cry to a world’s fair.

There are two important rea­sons why the Government of this Province should instruct the Liquor Control Board to catalogue its liquid wares at reasonable prices. In the first place there is a doubt whether the Dominion Government will consent to pass legislation to create a monopoly ort imports for the Province itself.

Board Grants Request Made by G, G. McGeer

Vancouver, April 8.—British Colum­bia's Chae for lower freight rates will be presented to the Dominion Board of Railway Commissioners at the final hearing on the subject In Ottawa, which Chief Commissioner Carvell j stated here yesterday afternoon will be some time.In July.

Having secured a promise from the Board that the Canadian Pacific and Cànadlpn National Railway» would be required to supply, as far as possible, figures showing comparative costs of operating in different districts, G. O. McGeer rested his case for the Prov­ince of British Columbia. He .ex­plained that the Investigation which thé Province Is making into freight conditions throughout British Colum­bia was far from complete. He ad­mitted that the Province might be to blame io a certain extent for Its unprepared ness, and appealed to the Board for an extension of time.

The Chief Commissioner thought the three months' extension tentative­ly asked for by Mr. McGeer was too long, but be would grant air extension with the understanding the Comrals-4 sion would do everything possible to bring the hearing to a close in Ot­tawa about mid-July.

Te Winnipeg.Mr. McGeer said he hoped to ac­

company the Commission on Its tour to the Prairie Provinces, and would be on hand In Winnipeg when. It was announced, the question of what fig ures should be submitted by the rail ways on operating costs would be dis cussed by H. J. Symington, K.C., rep­resentative bf the Provinces of Mani­toba and Saskatchewan.

Mr. Symington spoke briefly at yes­terday’s hearing, acknowledging re celpt of some figures which the rail Ways had sent at his request, but stating that he would have some fu .*- ther demands to make, and would ask the Commission at the Winnipeg sit­ting, to back him up in these demands.

F. H. Crysier, K.C.. for the Cana­dian Pacific Railway, discussed the difficulties which hé said confronted the railway in arriving at the com­parative figures demanded by Messrs. Symington and McGeer. but gave a promise on behalf of his road that every effort would be made to comply with the demands of counsel.

Figures Needed.Mr. McGeer based his demand for

statistics of railway operation cost on the ground that It did not necessarily follow that operation in the mountain sections was more expensive than in. for Instance, Northern Ontario, where rates were lower. He said that his oass could not be prepared without

Xree which would show exactly t relation of cost existed between

districts.He also protested against the as- ssment agàltfrt the British ’

bla division of the Canadian Pacific Railway of all edits of operating the Vancouver terminals, without due re­gard for through trafic.

Investigation.Budapest April 8.—Investigation

of the attempt of Charles Hapeburg. former Emperor of Austria-Hungary, to return to the Hungarian throne hag been demanded at a meeting of Agrarian members of the National Assembly.

It appears that the anti-Carlisle had confidential agents near Hapa- burg and It is declared they have a list of men associated with Haps- burg in hla attempt to re-establish his throne. The Agrarian Deputies have urged their puMshment on charges of treason.

In addition the anti-Çarliata .__ruse the Hungarian Government of a "blameable lack of energy*' respect­ing Hapeburg. They declare the Government permitted Hapsburg to hold regular court activities at «tetnamanger. where he appointed officers and court dignitaries and created barons and administered to them an oath of office.

To the Editor:—Might I suggest to those concerned that they at once set about preparing the ground on Em­plie Avenue for the trees to bo plant­ed there to the memory of the fallen brave, and that the fittest place for the German guns, for the capture of which they gave their live* is at In­tervals between thoee trees sacred to their memory?

a O. FETHBRSTON.* P. R->If the belief of Sir Conan

Doyle and Sir Oliver- Lodge, be well founded It would add to the satis­faction of the spirits of the gallant dead to be able to meet there among the trees around the sruns from whose death-dealing thunder they did not blench in, the heroic charge of “the night ef dreadful revelry.” The trees and the guns should go to­gether. Together, alone, would jus­tice be done to sentiment.

CHAPTER XVII.In The Cell

What followed was like a sort of nightmare to Merriton. That be should iw arrestedrtfor the murder of Dacre Wynne reeled drunkenly in bis brain. Murderer! They were calling him a murderer! The liars! The fools! Cal­ling him a murderer, were they? And taking the word of a crawling worm like Borkins, a man without honor and utterly devoid of decency, who could stand up before them and tell them a story that was a tissue of lies. It was appalling! What a fiend irçarnate this man Cleek waa! Com­ing here at Nigel’s own bidding, and then suddenly manipulating the evi­dence, until It caught him up in Its writhing colls like a well-thrown lasso. Oh, if he had only let well enough alone and not brought a de­tective to the house. Yet how was he to know that the man would try to fix murder on him, himself ? Use­less for him to speak, to deny. The revoiver-shdt and the cruel little bul­let (which showed there were others who possessed that sort of fire-arm besldee himself) proved too easily, upon the circumstantial evidence theory at all events, that his word was naught.

He went through the next hour or two like a roan who has been tortured.

He held her a moment, and then, leaning forward, kissed her gently upon the forehead.

"What then, palter*-»"I would have made you send them

sway—I would! I would!" she cried, vehemently. "They should not have çome—not If I had wired to them myself! Something laid me that day. after you were gone, that a dreadful thing would happen. 1 was fright­ened for you—frightened! And I could not tell why! 1 kept laughing at myself, trying to6tease myself out of it, as though It were simply—what you call it?—-the ’blues.’ And now— this!"

He nodded."And now—this," he said, grimly,

and laughed.Bennett, hand upon watch, turned

apologetically at this juncture."Sorry, Sir Nigel," he said, "but

time's up. Ten minutes Is the time allowed a prisoner, and— and —I'm afeared the young teddy must go. It 'urts me to tell you, sir but—you’ll understand. Dooty is dooty/*

"Yes. doubtless. Bennett, though people's Idea of It is different from others',' returned Merriton. with s bleak smile. "Have no fear, Tolnette. There I» still plenty of time, and I shall engage the finest counsel In the land to stand for me. This knot

She clung to him a moment, her! «uddenly lightening at the terror

of his words—so bravely spoken, with so little conviction behind them. But they had helped her, and for that he was glad. ^

In the little cell where they placed him, away from the gaping, mur­muring. gesticulating knot of villagers thst had marked his progress to the police station—for news flies fast in the country, especially when there Is a viper-tongue like Borklns's to wing It on its way—he was thankful for the momentary peace and quiet that the place afforded. * At least he could think—think and pace up and down the narrow room with Us tiny barred window too high for a man to reach, and its hard camp bedstead with the straw mattress, and go through the whole miserable fabrication that had landed him then*

The second day the confinement brought him a visitor. It was 'Tolnette. His jailer—a rough-haired village- hand who had taken up with the "Force" and wore the uniform though it belonged to someone else (which Indeed It had)—brought him news of her arrival. It cut him like a lash to see her thus, and yet the longing for her was so great that it superseded all else. So he faced the man with a grim smile.

Commission Says Dealers De­duct Salâries Before

Computing ProfitsSals ries are first deducted by some .

of the local coal dealers before cost estimates are made out, according to | the records of Captain Foster, ac- ■. countant with the Coal Inquiry Com- I mission sitting here yesterday.

Alderman EL 8. Woodward asked | the Commission whether it had as­certained the practice of the 'Tocal dealers In respect of salâries. whether or not they were deducted before profits were estimated, and the answer was givep that salaries had first been deducted. Profits of twenty per cent, on the capital In­vested had been shown by the Com­mission’s investIgation of company books.

Mr. Woodward was anxious to have Mr. Fraser called a to. give evidence. He explained that Mr. Fraser had been shipping coal from the interior and selling it in Vic­toria at less than the local dealers were charging for Vancouver Island coal. It was found hnpossible to locate Mr. Fraser in time for yester­day afternoon’s hearing, and his evidence was not taken.

The Commission visited the home of W. Fleet Robertson, Provincial Mineralogist and toak evidence there as Mr. Robertson was indisposed. Witness said that the printed reports would give all the technical informa­tion so far available end explained that it would be a very difficult mat­ter to estimate the amount of coal in place on the Island.

Reference was made to an estimate made by Mr. Floyd, formerly with the Nanooee Mine, who has given evidence In" Vancouver to the effect that there were two billion, eight hundred thousand tons of coal In reserve on the Island. Mr. Robert - son said this estimate was all nonsense as not enough work had been done to enable experts to esti­mate anywhere near correctly what coal there eras in place.

“Mining la not a charitable In­stitution. Operators will not take out coal If It cannot be done at a price they can afford to market It at,** said Mr. Robertson. He ex­plained to the Commission that there were areas called wastes jor “spares’' which occasion undue cost In extrac­tion by requiring a very much greater , percentage of development per ton of coal produced.

It would be misleading to estimate the amount of coal In reserve based on a certain thickness of coal throughout that area, because the floor on which the coal was

thickness varied and in spots, namely.,: ' those called “spares" there was no | coal at all. Through these spares or

rock sections the operators had to tunnel through to the next coal de­posit.

The hearing in Victoria eras con­cluded yesterday afternoon, and the Commission sailed for Vancouver where the final sitting of the inquiry will be held to-day.

STREET RAILWAY RE ROUTING CHANGES

having to give up my work. I suffered from indigestion for two y rare, didn’t enjoy my meals a bit. and the after effects were so bad I ate Just as little as I could possibly make out on. I felt worn out all the time, and had such little strength and energy it took me half a day to do an hour's work.

“I read the statement from a Mani­toba man who had gotten relief from troubles like I had by taking Tanlac and he spoke ao highly of the medi­cine that Moat no time in trying it. Seven bottles have made a new man of me, and I have such a big appetite now I can hardly get enough to eat. I never feet a rim of indigestion, and have gained several pounds In weight. I had imt idea any medicine could fix me up as fine as Tanlac has done, and I give It my highest endorsement.”

MIRIAM.

The exquisite name of Miriam seems to be a predecessor of Mary. It. too. signifies "bitter,” and comes from the Hebrew word marah. which has that translation. But Miriam, according to the Scriptures, antedates Mary.

Miriam first named'the sister of Moses and Aaron, who led the songs of the Israelites when they saw their enemies dead upon the seashore. It was not repeated until after the captivity, when It took the Greek forme of Mariam and Marlamne. and became much used by Jewish women. The Aemonean Prin- eeee in whom the breve Maecabean line was extinguished by Herod the Great, was called Mariam. Later it is Jtund designating the poor soul who is cited as baring fulfilled the most terrible ef

all the woes denouncedthe daughters of Jerusalem.

Miriam was one time the name by which the Blessed Virgin herself was called, and It also named two popular saints: the Magdalene and the Penitent of Egypt. Marlamne, the derivative, is sufficiently Important to be discussed separately at a later date.

CANADIAN GIFT TO AID HUMAN WRECKS

Total Subscriptions to Armen­ian Relief Fund Now

Reaches $1,885Clothes may not make the man, but

Canadian garments and the food and «are extended to starving, destitute Armenians by the Canadian people, through the Near Bast Relief and the Armenian Relief Association of Can­ada goes a long way towards repair­ing the human wreckage, that war. massacre, and starvation has made throughout the Levant.

Workers of the relief organisation who have returned from overseas, ac­cording to Charles V. Vickery, gen­eral secretary of the Near Bast Relief, are unanimous in their opinion that without Canadian and American aid almost the entire Armenian race would now be extinct.

The policy or relief administration. Hr. Vickery declares, is to relieve distress without making beggars of those aided. In the application of this policy children are admitted to relief orphanages where they are taught useful occupations Adult refugees are provided with work that j helps them earn the relief they so ‘ badly need.

•Tou hate no idea what a difference in appearance and their attitude to­wards life that a few clothes make in the poor wretches that, come beg­ging to our doors," one worker de­clared who returned recently. "Clothes don't make the man. No! But they restore self-respect and help him make himself.**

The subscriptions received at the local committee’s headquarters. $41 Fort Street, since the campaign start ed amount to about $1.666. As Vic toria's quota la in the neighborhood of $10.m it will readily be seen that many more donations are urgently needed and will be vmy gratefully welcomed.

Great Crowds Expected To Witness Semi-Finals

Strongest Drawing Card of Soccer Season Set For To morrow; Game Between Mets and Vets Arousing Great Interest and Excitement; Wests and Comrades Will Provide First Game of Double-Header.

Prudhomme Rose Quickly When He Took Up Boxing

Two games are billed in th«> ^mi-finwls of thy Ja(»k¥«>n Clip series at the Royal Athletic Park to-morrow afternoon, and it is expected that one of the largest crowds that has gathered on the Sidelines this year will be present. The drawing card of the after­noon is the second game of the double-header which will be pro­vided by the Metropolis and War Vets teams. This tussle promises to be a thriller as all previous clashes between this pair have been jcrammed full of excitement.1 The Wests and Comrades will start the afternoon s sport. They will kick off at 2.30 o’clock. The Wests have a strong following and no surprise would be occasionedif they survived the match .ana en­tered the finals. The Wests are a jgood cup team, although not as strong jui in previous years. The Comrades have been playing very consistent soccer all season and have a number of Important victories to their credit. With a full team on the field the Comrades will give the Wests a hard battle and may succeed In flipping over a win.

Wait For Second Gams.There will no doubt be plenty of

-'•gfcst, clean soccer In the Wests - Comrades match, but the spectator* trill be anxious to see the second game get under way. The Mets and Vets are expected to provide one of the greatest games seen here all season.

Both teams are planning to have their strongest elevens on the field, which means that there will be very little to choose between them. The Vets are particularly keen on grab­bing this game. In the city senior series early in the Winter the Vets landed up in the second division and did not graduate into the Vancouver Island League, but since then they have strengthened considerably and are now looked upon as one of the most formidable aggregations in the cUx. , They fr*ye_ splendid forwgr* line, strong backs aiid are supposed to have the. best goalie in town. The team Is all printed for a herd game but wo predictions are forthcoming from the players as ^to the probable outcome of the game.

Mata Are Steady.The Mats are a well-seasoned team

ted have beau playing steadily all Winter. They captured the city sen­ior league and mads the best showing •f any of the. local teams in the Island League. They have a very aggressive forward line, which travels fast and pores in well. The backs are reliable and Leeming is fairly safe in goal.

This will be the most crucial game of the series. Both teams are anxious to survive the round, the losing team being eliminated from the series. The fans are sure of seeing a great game, fcs there will be no let-up to the pace from the start to the finish. Both loams will have large followings of •apporter».

Spectators Off Field.All spectators will be forced to re­

main in the bleachers and grand- •lands, so that they will be unable to fd hi close proximity to the player and inspire them to pull stunts sim­ilar to the “lemon incident" and the fracas of last Saturday.

And I had to tell Jack ’No.'"Our whole future hung in the

balance. We couldn't take any chances. Jack surely was wearing Burns down and victory was cer­tain- By attempting to carry tRe fight to Johnson, Burns was play­ing right into our hands. Tom­my couldn't have suited us any bet­ter if we had given him Instructions. Burns was dangerous, and if John­son had changed his plan of battle and waded In and tried to finish him quickly a lucky wallop of Burns might have changed the whole as­pect of things. That Is why I had to Instruct Jack to go along chop­ping the eourageous white boy Into mincemeat.

"To get the fight with Burns, Johnson and I had to chase Tommy around the world. Jimmy Coffroth offered Burnt $26,000 to fight Johnson in California. Tommy wouldn’t listed to it. The National Sporting Club of Lxmdon offered the same amount, but Burns held out for a flat guar­antee of A 8,000 sterling. Lord Lons­dale, president of the club, said the demand was ridiculous. Finally Hugh Mcli\tâ|h. the Sydney promoter. gav< In 4o Burns' demand of 130,000, win lose or draw, and return tlckgt to London, for a 20-round bout with four-ounce gloves. Queenebury rules.

"The Negro boxed superbly. The fight Was just to his liking. Burns would have put a better battle If he had made Johnson come*to him. In­stead of that Tommy played right into our hands by forcing the mill­ing. Johnson was at hia best on tbe defensive, and his lightening i««4^ and savage counters cut Tommy In ribbons and beat him to a pulp.

"Still Bums came tearing In for more. I never saw a man take more terrific puniehfeent and keep plung­ing back Into it

Near the end of the seventh roend Johnson almost ended the mill with a curling blow that lifted Tommy off his feet and sent him to the boards with a thud which shook the ring platform. It was a wallop ae hard as tbe one which knocked poor Stanley Ketchel stone cold. It looked a* if Jack had ended the fight right there, but Burns got up. It was near the end of the round and the bell saved him.

- Teok Everything'"Not even in the Lavlgne - Walcott

fight have I seen a man fight more heroically than Burns did from the eighth to the twelfth round. He tore in on the towering Negro like a

lor. He took ten blows to land one. Johnson was hitting as sav­agely and bitterly as an old wolf strikes, too. The white boy was an open target for as great a sharp­shooter as ever crawled through the ropes. With wonderful distance and timing. Johnson drove his punches

He had nothing to worry him could make every punchand he

count.“Cleanly driven lefts and rights

to the head repeatedly sent Burns back on his heels. Terrific smashes to heart and wind had Tommy grunt­ing and gasping. Both his eyes were cut and his lips bruised and swollen From mouth and nostrils he spouted crimson streams. Yet the brave white boy fought on and on, rushing iw- lenfleealy in the thick of the blizzard of blows with which Johnson show­ered him. Tommy seemed made of rawhide and iron. His heart was of oak.

"Burns’ bulldog rushes, however, grew weaker and weaker. Nerve and grit alone kept spurring him on. A pile driving right to the jaw flat­tened Tommy in the thirteenth and the police wanted to stop the fight. Burns would not hear of it.

“ ’Don’t stop It! Don't stop It." gasped Tommy, through hia bloodv lips. 'Why. officer. I’ll make that big coon quit in a couple of more rounds, just as sure as you’re born.'

“Those ’couple of rounds’ never came, however, for in the next round Johnson crashed a combination one- twq. punch to the jaw and felled Burns like a„ polled steer. More by instinct than anything else Tommy tottered to his feet before the fetal 10, but he was gone. He haden’t strength enough to raise hia hands. He just stood there swaying and blinking through his swollen orbs.

BEECHAM’S PILLS

The lights o’ London seem Se poa- »sa unusual allurement for the art

and decoration department of the Famous Playere-Lasky studio, judg­ing from the number of London street scenes which have been built for recent productions. In "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" a London set was constructed with such attention to detail and realistic atmosphere that one of the extras, an old English character woman, complained that it made her positively homesick. Then, while filming ’Lady Rose's Daugh­ter," with Elsie Ferguson, the Lon­don streets after dark again played an important pictorial role, with rows of little shops, end fruit stands and honest - to-goodnees cobblestones, and a dingy little apothecary's shop for Miss Ferguson to buy poison in. But by far the largest and most preten­tious of all Is the Whitechapel set which Is being used In George Fits- maurlce's latest • Paramount special, "Idol* of Clay," now showing at the Variety Theatre, in which Mae Mur­ray and David Powell are appearing. The set takes up most of the studio floor space, and is one of the largest ever put up.

Rhoda Royal <has given vaudeville a number of unusual animal acts. The best of these is a feature of this week's Vantages bill. This is alto­gether unlike the usual elephant act of vaudeville or the circus, because the featured members of the com­pany are Helen and Victor, two of the tiniest pachyderms who have been taught a number of astonishing tricks. They perform-with remark­able speed In contrast to the usual deliberate movements of the. heavy beasts.

Two of the most popular musical comedians of vaudeville are the De- Michele Brothers, who will provide an added attraction to the new bill. The DeMlchele boys play on Italian harp and violin and in addition to being skilled musicians are come­dians of high order.

There are four other snappy var­iety acte, namely. Dan Bruce. Margot I>uffet A Co. in the comedy playlet,' Through the Keyhqle": Helen Rine­hart and Krmlnle Duff. "Two Dixie Misses"; Sammy Duncan. Scottish funster, and the Three Jumping Jacks, acrobats.

The contract came as a result, it Is reported, of Miss Moore's excep­tional work in "Dlnty," in -which Wesley Barry, the boy actor, is starred, and which will be the at­traction at the Royal Victoria Theatre again to-day.

Although only nineteen years old. Mips Moore ha» had a Wide exper­ience on the screen.

Later Colleen graduated from high school and from a local musical and dramatic conservatory. following which she went to Chicago to pursue her studies. It is there she met D. W. Griffith, who offered her a con­tract I» pictures. —

She then went West with her mother, and has. since made an en viable reputation for herself as a screen actress. Her first appear a nee with the Griffith company was in “The Bsd Boy," supporting Robert Harron.

PHOSPHATENothing Like Plain litre-Phosphate to

Put On Firm, Healthy Flesh and to Increase Strength, Vigor

• and Nerve Force.Judging from the counties* prepara­

tions and treatments which are con­tinually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, developing arm>. neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved Jiuee of health and beauty, there are evidently thousand» *>f men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness

Thinness and weakness are usually j due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained In I modern foods. Phywidhans claim thvfe Is nothing that will supply this deflei- éney eo well as the organic phosphate known among druggists as bitro-phos- Pbate. which is inexpensive and Is sold by Cyrus H. Bowes and most all drug­gists under a guarantee of satisfaction or môftey b»<k. By feeding the nerve* directly and by supplying the body cells >1lh the necessary phosphoric food ele­ments, bitro-phoephate quickly produces a welcome transformation in the appear­ance: the increase In weight frequently being astonishing:.

This increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement In tho health. Nervousness, sleeplesanex* and lapk of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, soon dis­appear, dull eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health.

AMERICANS AREDEPORTING ALIENS

- Omaha, Neb- April 8.—Allens for deportation to their native countries pained through Omaha early to-day en route to Hoboken by way of Chi­cago. They were in special cars on a Union Pacific train, one of the coaches having come from Beattie and the other from San Francisco. Borne of them were placed on the train at various points along the route between the Pacific coast and Omaha.

LOWER WAGES IF RAILWAY RATES TO

BE REDUCED-,ook -for " d,crtMe" Vancouver, April S— Only by dis pensing with the unnecessary train services and by reducing wages can freight rates be brought down. Hon. F. B. CarveU, chairman of the Do­minion Railway Commission, told members of the Vancouver Klwanis Club In an address yesterday.

"We, have built teg many railways. There Is too much dupliestlon of ser­vices. These must be cut down, but the problem is where to begin. The people want lower freight rates, but

A "cl«of ChUretown willthe/Vfctorla Police Cofhmlsslon, that

iy decided at Us meeting last night. At the urgent request of Com­

missioner Joseph North, who urged that no girls under eighteen or any unescorted woman be allowed In cabarets, the Commission determined to draw up Immediately a by-law governing conduct and entertainment

j In cabaretsAfter hearing a graphic description

I of a visit to Chinatown by Mr. North,I the Commission decided to ask the

(City Council to frame regulations which will unable the police to see

, that the present heavy barricades ! and the network of partitions In j Chinatown are demolished.! The Commission also discussed I briefly the enforcement of the Pro- , hibition Act and refused to allow Mormons to conduct street services here. Mr. North wanted to abolish

* all street services, save thoae con­ducted by the Salvation Army, but the other Commissioners would not go this far.

------- Cabaret Contrat."I would like to get the cabarets

under the law," said Mr. North. "I understand there was a kind of verbal agreement between the past Police i Commissioners and the owners of cabarets. I don’t like to work with an agreement. I like to work with something 1 can work with. 1 would

j suggest that a by-law and a law be ; framed up to get the cabarets under our controL I would not allow young

i girls under twenty-one years of age [ In cabarets. I would not allow any ; lady In them unless she Is with an ! escort. That would stop soliciting In those places, and I think It Is an es­sential thing for the city to stop it.I went In there the other day and tried to get them to help me. but they would not, and I came here and found I had no authority."

The Mayor pointed out that the city had secured power to control cabarets In Its 1921 Private Bill. The old ca-

hardly stand up. I was white and very thie and ner­vous, had a poor appetite and only weighed Ilf pounds. I took ten bottles without 1 missing one dose I and gave It a fait 1 trial. When I fin­ished the last bottle everyone asked ; me what made the wonderful change I in me. I told them about Lydia E. Pinkhaml Vegetable Compound and |I recommend it wherever I can. I give] you permission to publish this letter to help suffering women as your rem- • edles are a Godsend and made a new I woman of me."—Mrs. F. A. Baker, • 1 4749 Butler St.. Pittsburgh, Pa. i

Why will women drag around day after day, suffering from Backache, bearing-down pains, nervousness and “the blue*.’’ enduring a miserable ex -1 istence when they have such evidence! as the a bo VS that Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a dependable! remedy for such trouble*. For nearly j forty years this grand old root and 1 herb medicine has been restoring the j women of America to health.

they will not permit us to cut off costly Sunday train» without a howl of protest. The country must make up Its mind that some services must be foregone if rates are ever to come down," he said.

“Next to the unnecessary train ser­vices, the greatest factor in main­taining high rates are the wages which have to be paid as the result ha ret by-law which had been prepared of the McAdoo sward and the Chi- ,asl y**r. he said, would be brought cago award of July, 1920.

Under this order farmers will be compelled to sell their grain at a price which will Insure against a rise In the price of bread, while millers muet grind the wheat at a mlnlmmu of 13 and a maximum of 14 pesetas a hundred kilogrammes.

“A visit U> Chinatown reveals condition of things so contrary to what we would expect in a civ nixed community that I think that the Fire Chief and Building Inspector might develop some legislation and regula­tions that would prevent the China­men building barricade*," .Dr. Hall advised. "In case of Are this would be an actual menace. We know what they are for."

"I have been there two or three times," said Mr North. "I didn't see white men—only Chinamen. The gambling In Fan Tan Alley I under­stand. is within the law. Upstairs it Is not within the law; there they play

Danger From Partition».“There are partitions this way and

that way and the constables, 1 am told, pretty nearly got Into a Are when they were making a raid. They bump into partitions all over and upset lampe. U le up to the city to take It up and clean It out."

Dr. Hall thought that the City Council ahould bring Into force regu­lations which would do away entirely with barricades and uni* trial | tâtions In Chinatown.

Jt was decided, to ask the OovmA la frame such regulations.

Chief Fry elated. In answer to Dr. Hail that,'eo ffcr ae he could discover, no white men were marking tickets la lotteries la Chinatown at the present time.

Mermen's Application."I don't think It's nice to have every

corner occupied with a church." Mr. North protested," when an organisa­tion which the Mayor said was the same as the Mormons asked by letter for the right to hold street services. “If you want to go to church, go to church. The Salva­tion Army Is very good and I would not take their privilege» away but I don't like people on every corner preaching. It looks very funny to me. Let no one but the Salvation Army have thle privilege. Let them hire a hall and go to it." lie advised, amid a burst of laughter, caused, no doubt, by recollections of the night when Mr. North "hired a hall and went to It," during the January ele­ction campaign.

“It may not happen frequently, but In this case I agree with Commissioner North that this request be refust said the Mayor. "We have had com­plaint» about people claiming to rep­resent the Mormon Church and the doctrine they were preaching."

With Dr. Hall voting against the motion, It was decided to refuse the request of the Mormons. Mr. North's motion that no organisation but the Salvation Army be allowed to hold street service», however» was turned down as the Mayor did net wish to go this far.

Dieeuee Prohibition Enforcement."Have any orders been issued that

any clause or clauses In the Prohibi­tion Act should not be enforced 7" Dr. Hall asked Chief Fry near the end of the meeting.

Chief Fry; No.Dr. Hall : Is the Act being enforced

to the beet of your ability?Chief Fry: So tar as the police are

capable.Dr. Hall; Do you need any assist­

ance in respect to doing It any other way?

Chief Fry: If you use stood pigeons to buy liquor you would get better results. There are fifty policemen and we are all known. To catch the liquor that is waiting in the sink in a glass Is difficult. Before you can Jump over the counter It Is down the •ink."

Dr. Hall: You are doing your ut­most 16 enforce the Act?

SOLD SUBJECT OF MINERS’DEBATE

Assistance Urged For Produc­tion in United States

per ounce for gold and a certificate I entitling him to $10 per ounce addi- j I tonal. Mr. Lorlng urged aupport of | this measure.

At a Profit.

Establishment of a military hospital on Vancouver Island is the object of a move which has .been started by the Pacific Coast Officers’ Association and in which returned soldier organisations and other public bodies are expected to join. The first step which those behind the movement- will take will be to interview the Governor-General on the hospital question when he arrives-in Vic­toria, April Id.

In order to get concerted action on the hospital project Colonel Charles Flick, president of the Pacific Coast Officers’ Association, has circularized various returned soldier organizations on the question.

Portland, Ore.. April 8.—The Third International Mining Convention, in sesaiOQ here to-day devoted its at tention to the gold question, speakers emphasizing the need of Government aeaistance to rehabilitate the gold mining industry.

Assistance Needed.That some of the greatest gold

mines of the United States will be beyond redemption unless legislation giving them assistance is quickly passed, was a declaration made by W. J. Lorlng, Pan Francisco, presi­dent of the American Mining Con- giess, in a paper read,

"It is appalling to note that the production of gold in the United SUtes in 1810 was 196,269,000; in If IS, <101,025.000. and in 1920, <49.- 569,000," said Mr. Lorlng. "Now then, what is going to happen if this

...„ deplection of the gold production of the United States continues? Of course, at that rate one might say that in another ten years there would be no gold production in the United States, but that would be wrong. There will be some gold production no* matter what the conditions are, and there Is no doubt that imiesa something Is done to stimulate the gold production of the United States, the production will drop materially below the production of 1920.

On the Map.“In my opinion It is quite an un­

necessary reduction if we all stand •together and support a measure that will keep gold mining on the map in this country. It does not matter whether If is the McFadden Bill or a measure bearing some other name, so long as its purpose is the etim- ua-ttion of geld -predvetfon In our country.M • ir~

Mr. Lorlng gave *n outline of the proposed W'f'. ingr of the McFadden Bill, uiid- ‘ h the producer would receive ; Government “20.67

wall, Mr. Hamilton said, because the I parts of Canada have been advised to price of gold remained fixed by law j come to Vancouver Island, where clt- and unchanged while the costs of j malic conditions are less hard.mining equipment, supplies, labor and living had doubled. Other in­dustries had solved the problem by raising the price of their product, but the miner could take no such

Support Needed."The unanimous support of men in

every walk of life should be given to the McFadden Bill or to some sim­ilar, measure, for purely selfish mo­tives, if for no other reason," Mr. Hamilton said.

Mr.'Hamilton said the business of the world required more and more gold from year to year for monetary purposes, for gold was annually taken for use In the arts, industries and science. To maintain the equilibrium, he asserted, gold must, be produced constantly.

Resolutions.The convention to-day was on re-j

Interview Governor• General."The Governor-General of Canada

will be In this city in a fortnight s time, if the soldier organisations would get together an Interview with HU Excellency might go far towards giving the matte* of a military hos­pital the island publicity It needs In order to become an accomplished fact."

It is suggested by Colonel Flick that a meeting be held tv consider tha matter further. Last night the Vet­erans of France appointed « commit­tee, consisting of Comrades Kidner. Clark and Litchfield, to confer with officials of the Pacific Coast Officers-' Association on the project.

Be ResumedMonager F. H. Blashfleld, of the

Groat Northwestern Telegraph Of­fice announces that, effective April 9, the deferred cable service to European countries will bo resumed. Tbs de­ferred service will be on five basis which prevailed before the war, being limited to plain language, and deferment in favor of full rate cables, and carrying the prefix indicator “Leo" as formerly.

The tariff rates in all cases will be exactly one-half the regular or full rate to the country of destination. The deferred service is also operative between Victoria and Australia by way of the lines of the Great North­western and the British Pacific cable.

This valuable service between British Columbia and Europe has not been available since September, 1918. when it we* necessarily sus­pended because of the abnormal de­mands made upon the cable systems^ of the world. The Great North - '

Man Who Robbed BuildingThe City Hall is In a furore to-day

and Alderman George Sangster laegi^ after the man who caused the trouble.

The fact is, a daring robbery wi perpetrated in the venerable institu­tion last night or early this morning,

The trouble came about thus: Yea terday Alderman Sangster. who us bally takes hold of the Jobs that the other aldermen shy at, was told about a large number of tools, which had been used In the city's wood' cutting scheme last Winter, and which had not been returned to the civic authorities. The aldtrman traced up hie clue and discovered the whereabouts of the missing saws, axes and • wedges. He sent a wagon out to get them and bring them back td the City Hall. They arrived In the afternoon and were stowed In a cor­ner of the dingy main corridor of the building.

As he left^the Hall yesterday after noon Alderman Sangster remarked to the Janitor, "Keep your eye on those tools or they'll walk away to-night." but he did not think, for a moment, that anything like that would happen.

Tools Disappear;This morning the alderman

rived down town bright and early and prepared to cart the* tools away. . An expression of blank amazement, ft is reported, overshadowed the face of Victoria's leading alderman when be found that a number of the tools had gone—completely disappeared, leav­ing absolutely no trace. The aider- man stormed around for a while and instituted a search without result. He questioned a" number of city of­ficials but no one had seen the thief walking off with the saws, wedges and other tools.

Audaeity Staggers Alderman.“m wiiclty oUt tsptet stag-,

gers me! " AMermatF Sangster gasp­ed. *To come Into the City Hall and •teal city property ! Why, one would think at leaat the building would be safe from that sort of thing! If I could get ahold of the’ man who did It there would be some fun. I can tell you. it’a so absolutely contemptible, too!- I'll know better another time than to leave valuable things in the corridors of the CHy Han!”

Mr. Hamilton said the payment of dividends this year might create shortage of about <150,060 on depre elation reserve.

Washington Coal FieldsGeorge Watitin Evans, o# Beattie, consulting engineer. In a paper on

‘The Coal Fields of Washington and Oregon." read before the Interna­tional Mining Convention, in session at*Portland, said:

No one can state definitely what amount of coal there Is In Oregon and Washington. M. R. Campbell of the United States geological survey has estimated that in Washington there are more than 11,000,606.006 tone of bituminous coal and more than 62,- 060,600,600 tons of eub-bltumlnous coal, or a total of more than 62. 060,060,060 tons. The same authority says that In Oregon and California there are 27.000,000 tons of bitumin­ous coal and more ttpui 1,000.060 tons of sub-bitumlnoue coal. This makes a total for the three states of more than 64.000,000.000 tons of coal.

"With the present rata of exhaus­tion of approximately 5,000,600 tons, there is sufficient coal in these three states to last more than 12,000 years. Of course, our consumption of fuel is going to increase materially fr year to year and probably not all the coal wlU be mineable.

Supply Is Inexhaustible .... “However,. for all practical pur­poses there Is an inexhaustible sup­ply of coal in the two state*, When fuel oil becomes less plentiful these coal fields will be drawn on to supply the fuel for the industries of the Pa­cific Coast, and It I» comforting to

The oil is here, but it can’t run out of the ground, refine and mar­ket itself.

This is YOUR opportunity—what are YOU going to do about itf

The Canadian U. S. Oil and Refining Corporation has a well dfr- fined plan for developing the oilfields of thVgreat Northwest.

.We have five oLthe choicest locations possible to obtain; they are;

1. Lease in Block 16, immediately adjoining the Imperial’sgusher at Fort Norman. •

2. Lease on Patterson claim, immediately adjoining the prop­erty which will be drilled by the Fort Norman Oil and Develop­ment Company.

3. Lease at Windy Point, adjacent to the Imperial well, which has reached a depth of 300 feet.

4. Lease at Pine Point, immediately adjoining the Imperials holdings. H I

5. A quarter section in the Ponce Coupe field, west of the Im­perial.

We Shall drill on three of them this Summer, as follows:Fort Norman, adjoining the Imperial’s gusher; Windy Point

and Pouce Coupe. - ss*Back of our holdings in Cailada, the Company has 58 produc­

ing wells and 8 wells drilling ip the proven fields of Texas, Okla­homa and Louisiana.

The Corporation is the result of the consolidation of four pro­ducing and operating companies in the South. These were amal­gamated for the purpose of making a safe background for Cana­dian investors, to whom we are offering treasury stock for the purpose of developing the Northwestern Canadian fields.

Treasury stock is now offered at par—$1.00 per share—for the purpose of carrying on tjils development.

Saanich Council Protest Omis­sion of Expected Municipal

Act AmendmentsSharp criticism of the Legislature

was voiced by the Saanich Council last nights A letter from Premier Oliver, asking the views of the Coun­cil as to when municipal legislation, expected to be passed at the proposed Fall session of the House, should come Into effect broached a storm of angry comment upon the omission of needed amendment to the Municipal Act and many others sins of omission and commission.

Regret that no Intimation was given that expected amendments would not be made to the Municipal Act was charged, the Council being Informed that, urf to the last moment. It was understood changes approved by Saanich were Included.

Councillor McWilliam suggested that apparently the members of the House wanted to get through In a hurry, whereupon Reeve Watson re­marked, “I shouldn't wonder, Td want to fly the country If I'd done what they did. It would be as good if some of the Saanich Council were the Legislature.” Councillor Simpson said, amid laughter. "We couldn't be worse, anyway.”

Tbe Council then decided to request, that any new financial arrangements be drafted^ to come Into effect with the commencement of the New Tear, and on motion of Councillor Simpson added a rider stating the Council to be "very disappointed that nothing has been done by the Legislature this year.” ____________________

PREMIER PUNTS MEMORIAL BEECH

BEWARE OF BRONCHITIS

Bronchitis Is generally caused by neglecting a cold, or exposure to wet and inclement weather. It begins with a tightness across the chest, dif­ficulty in breathing, and a wheeling sound comes from the lungs. There Is a raising of phlegnt, especially the first thing in the morning. This le at first white, but later becomes of a greenish or yellowish color and Is occasionally streaked with blood.

On the first sign of bronchitis you should check it immediately by using Dr. Wood’s Norway Pine Syrup, there­by prevent it becoming chronic, and perhaps developing Into some more serious lung trouble,

Mrs. Brice Culham, Sheffield, Ont, writes: 'In December, 1919* 1 was very sick with bronchitis, and I to ftay In the house all Winter. One day I saw Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup advertised, so 1 got a small bottle which helped me very much; 1 then got a 40c. sise, and It complete­ly relieved me. 1 cannot praise "Dr. Wood's",enough for what it did. Two of my neighbors are now using It for colds.”

Don't accept a substitute for Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup; the genuine Is put up In a yellow wrap per; three pine trees the trade mark;\ price 36c. and 80c. ; manufactured only by The T. MUburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont.

but Master John Scholefield repre­sented hie father’s family.

The Scholefield memorial tree idea originated with the Library Club, composed of librarians of the cRy.

The premier told how members of the Government and Legislature had always held Mr. Scholefield In high regard and aa one of the roost es­teemed of public servants. The Pre­mier said that Mr. Scholefield's courtesies to members of the House would always be remembered with gratitude and set a standard for other incumbents of the office to follow.

Others who took part in the cere mon y were: Dean Quainton, Dr. New- combe, Herbert Killam, head of the Travelling Library Commission; G. H. Dawson, former Surveyor-Gen­eral; J. E. Griffith. Deputy Minister of Public Works; John Forsythe. Pro­vincial Librarian; Miss Helen Stew­art, Chief Victoria Librarian; Miss Mary Stewart and Mrs. Austin, and other members of the Victoria and Provincial libraries.

Mr. Hosle assisted Librarian Forsythe in making the arrangements for the ceremony.

VETERANS DISCUSS SESSIONAL INCREASE

Concerned Ovèr Salary in­demnity, While Daily Labor

Reduced to $3,50 a DayAt the regular meeting last night

the- Veteran» of France considered a number of questions concerning topics of the day. The action of the Legislature In Increasing salaries and sessional Indemnities was warmly criticised, while it wa* pointed out that the Government at the same time cut the wages of the men employed upon government labor from $4.25 to IS.IO, and had Issued a circular to the effect that $3.50 a day would be the standard wage for dally labor in this province. 4.

This new scale had been seised upon by the drydock contractors and sub-contractors, who were making that their rate of pay. itw^i said. It was figured that a man could work but 21 days month, on account of weather and other conditions, and at that rate would not be able to support himself and his family, and could not possibly make ends meet. • The Veterans thought that the action of the Gov ernment. in the light of the treatment meted out In this, particular, was thoughtless, and would be reconsid­ered when the legislators considered this phase of the question in the light of their own salary and indemnity in-

ease*.Pass Resolution.

In the following resolution the Veterans made their point clear:

Whereas the Provincial Govern­ment has announced a redaction in the wages paid to men engaged on public works in this Province from the first of April; and

Whereas this reduction in wages was said to be based on a decrease In the cost of living; and

Whereas this action of the Gov­ernment of the Province has resulted In a general cut in wages for all other work of this nature undertaken by municipalities or by the Federal Government; and

Whereas the fact that the Govern­ment has recently found it necessary to increase the salaries paid to Cab­inet Ministers and* private members^2 rSi mgrthat the cost of llvlny was decreasing

as baaed on a misunderstanding; Therefore be It resolved that this

association confidently expects that the Government will at once take steps to have Its previous order rescinded, and restore the wages for public works' to a fair living rate.

Copies et this resolution-, re being sent to the Premier, the Minister of Public Works and the Minister of Finance.

Per Capita GrantItiet the cash per capita grant had •an withheld from the Veterans of

France was disclosed last night at the regular meeting of that body. When the provision had been made, the Veterans had not taken advant­age of the grant on the ground thet It waa thought advisable to subsist aa much aa possible by their own ef­forts, but the poverty rampant dur- lag the Winter had paused them to change their minds on this, and when application waa made tbe grant waa not forthcoming. It wos stated.

The Veteran* appointed a commu­tes to act with the Joint ex-service committee to Inquire Into the alt - notion ndth regard to the operation of the new liquor act. Another committee was appointed to take up the ques­tion of military hospitals, and the clsatns of the Kuqutnmlt mm. Com­

as are le be made wttE de­partments at Ottawa In connection with the,Ships at the Cholberg yards.. It waa thought that the Ottawa Oov-I
