It seems that "brainy" housewives ardat length to have their chance, for thaSociety of Women Engineers in London isorganising a competition for ideas inhouse improvements, with a view to aaexhibition next May. Most of the mem-,bers of the society- are women mechanics,and many have submitted to headquartersideas for labour-saving devices m thehome. It is to find an outlet for domesticbrainwaves that the competition is to bebe held. Any woman can compete; sheneed not necessarily be qualified as anengineer. "We have classified the ideasinto three sections," said an official, "andthe judges will be Sir Charles Parsons,the great engineering authority, Mr. Caul-field, F.R.1.8.A., who- will consider thearchitectural improvements; and the ladywho holds the appointment of Dean of the"Domestic College of Science at King'sCollege, who will deal with domesticlabour-saving ideas. A field of immenseimportance to every household is coveredby this investigation."

Labour-saving devices in the house arein ever-increasing demand, and the up-to-date woman who can do it is sure to takeadvantage of all the newest electrical in-ventions which are 60 clean, as well assimple, to use. "What is this?" asked avisitor at the new home of a bride,noticing a machine, with a large circulwreceptacle underneath. "That is a per-fectly wonderful machine," was theanswer. "' It mixes bread, cakes, batters;beats up eggs, grinds coffee, mincesmeat, peels fruit or vegetables,make's breadcrumbs, shreds suet, chopsparsley or mint, 1mashes or pulps fruit andvegetables, and will even freeze ice cream-just by adjusting the different appliances.And see this boot-polishing machine, andthis is for cleaning silver. Here is myvacuum cleaner, with its various nozzlesfor different purposes. Later on I hopoto get an electric floor waslier, scrubber,and polisher for linoleum and stained orparquet floors." "I never need to usea match in my kitchen," said this proudyoung housewife, "and I also claim thatit is matchless in more respects thanone." The very compact electric 6tovehad its oven on top instead of beneath,an extremely practical idea which avoidsstooping. A movable griller was fittedinto the top of the oven, two hot platesfor cooking Were attached to the lowerpart of the stove, and a little higher wasa smaller plate. Near the sink was art

electric dish-washer, by whose aid the task)of "washing up." which is disliked byithe house-wife and maids alike, is reduced!to a minimum. Time and labour aresaved: there is no dust and dirt causedby coal, and consequent damage to wall-paper, ceilings, hangings; no matches,firewood, or coal wanted. Last, but notleast the shortage and loss of weight in

cooki'ng food bv electricity are much lessthan when it is cooked by any othermethod.

ENGAGEMENTS.The engagement is announced of Miss

Olive Marv Pembroke, daughter of -Mrs.Lindsay Pembroke, of London, and Mr.Robert Neville Vickerman, youngest sonof Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Vickerman, ofEemuera.

COMMERCIAL.

WHOLESALE AND RETAIL.

PRICES OF IMPORTED LINES

THE PRODUCE MARKETS.The wholesale houses are starting the

new month under quiet conditions, butthis ifl a feature of this time of the year,and a number always utilise the slacktime by taking stock this month. Ship-ments to hand are mostly in small lines,there being now no necessity to ordermore at a time than sufficient to lastfrom steamer to stejmer. British andAmerican manufacturers appear to beonly too eager to supply all requirementsat once, and shipping facilities are nowample. However, stocks are kept verylow both by distributors and consumers,and each arrival meets with a good inquiry, while there is a growing tendencyto book ahead, for delivery on arrival,in order to secure from the importers ashare of each shipment.

Retailers are receiving attention tillsweek, on account of the commencementof the summer clearance sales. Startingwith the drapers, who instituted thissvstem years ago, the fashion wasadopted by other departments, and nowthe February sales are a big feature inthe trade of the city and suburbs. _ Atouch of early autumn weather has givenan additional appropriateness to the salesthis year, and a good deal of business•will go through during the next few

trices are gradually getting morefavourable to buyers, in regard to im-ported lines. While New Zealand pro-ducts appear to have touched bedrock,and most lines have definitely turned thecorner, imported lines have steadilyfallen, in response to lower costs inBritain. This applies particularly todraperv, so that buyers are now ableto get' better value for their money thanthev have done for years.

lsairy Produce.—Bacon is weak, andfactories are eagerly competing for busrness. Eggs are getting more scarce, andthe price has advanced to Is lid whole-sale. There is some anxiety as towhether sufficient supplies will be avail-able during the scarcest time, the lateautumn, as many farmers have reducedtheir flocks, the reason being the highcost of food and the low price of eggs.

Potatoes in Good Supply.

Potatoes—Supplies are still plentiful, andthe price remains at 7s 6d ex store for goodquality, lower grades selling at irregularprices by auction. The heavy rain duringthe past week will have a most beneficialeffect on the second crop, but the main

crop will have to be due at once in mostcases, to prevent second growth, and thiswill no doubt further increase the suppliesFull preparations have been made for ob-taining Southern potatoes from March on-wards, and a good crop is expected, but iti« unlikely that any will be requirod tillApril.

Onionß.—A heaw demand for export ha»reduced the supplies immediately available,and the price has firmed a littlo, bestquality selling this week at 7s 6d to fa exstnro.

Oats.—lt is not yet known whether thedemand for shipment to Australia will DOvery substantial, but in the rieantimo ithas hardened the prico in the South ty3d to Id per bushel. Local quotation hasfirmed in sympathy, small lines selling at4b Sd to 4s 6d ei store.

Oatmeal.—Very little selling.Chaff.—Southern sells very well at 9b 3d

ex store, but local has not yet come on themarket in any quantity. It is expected thatthe prico will open at about £<t 10s at theAuckland station, in truck loads.

Hay.—Not much selling, and the copiousrain of the last few days will still furtherpostpone the demand. Value is about £5for new season's, freight paid to Auckland.

Wheat.—This is receiving attontion, butnot much business is passing, as buyers are

, takins: only what they actually recuse tolast till the prico comes down.

Flour.—No change since last week, theposition being that a fall must take placeas soon ub the new wheat prices come in, onMarch L The consumption of bread beingpractically constant, and most bakers hav-ing already brought their stocks to normal,tho hand-to-mouth business is naturallyvery considerable.

Supplies ol Maize Received.

Maize.—Supplies havo been very scarce,but about 600 sacks arrived during theweek-end, and this has been solline on thebasis of 4i lOd on the wharf in wholosalolinos. Tli© quantity is more than the usualweek's consumption at this time of the year,but stocks wore so bare on arrival that the

.market was not upsetSoeds.—Early orders for eras* eeed indi-

cate that, a much smaller area than usualis to be put into grass this year. Therewas no encouragement during the winter tofell bush areas, and farmers ippear reluc-tant to undertake any but essential ex-penses.

Fertilisers.—lt is expected that the condi-tions will be similar to thofe that governtho grass seed trade. Demand »o far israthor quiet, and a smaller iroportion thanusual will go through tha merchants, or.account of the extensive local raanufaiturethat now takea place.Fencing Wire.—Demand shows a little im-

provement. English plain galvanised hasbeen scarce, but orders to arrive have beenbookina rather heavily. The price is nowmnro attractive in both larboo and plaingalvanised.

EXPORTS TO SAMOA.

QUESTION OF PREFERENCE.

AUSTRALIAN COMPETITION.The question of customs duties in

Samoa was the subject of a letter from

the Secretary for External Affairs, Mr.J. D, Gray, read at the meeting of thecouncil of tho Auckland Chamber of Com-merce yesterday.

With respect to a suggestion made atthe recent conference of Chambers ofCommerce in Christchurch that exportsfrom Australia to British Samoa shouldno'c, be given the benefit of the Britishpreference, Mr. Gray pointed out thatthe customs duties of Samoa were im-posed by virtue of the Samoa CustomsOrder, 1920. The New Zealand customstariff had no application to WesternSamoa.

The Auckland Chamber of Commercerepresented to the Minister, the writercontinued, that as New Zealand had ac-cepted the responsibility of the mandatefor Samoa and any financial liability thatmight be entailed New Zealand merchantsshould be given to the fullest possibleextent the benefit of the trade of theterritory. The chamber did not suggestthat the Government should by anamendment of the Samoan tariff comtfelSamoan merchants to purchase theirgoods from the Dominion, but it did con-tend that the benefit of all administra-tion and Crown estates purchases shouldbe given to New Zealand. This was amatter of policy, as tho suggestion ineffect was that purchases for the adminis-tration and Crown 'estates, that was,Governmei: > purchases, should be madein the Dominion even though at a highercost than that at which the goods couldbe purchased in Australia.

It was averred at the conference thatcertain products wero being sold inSamoa from Australia at lower pricesthan those products had been sold forhome consumption. So far as ho wasaware thero was only one Australian pro-duct to which that referred, namelydour, and this was rather an unfortun-ate article to quote in support of the sug-gestion of dumping, for the reason thatNew Zealand flour, because of its non-keeping qualities, as compared with Aus-tralian flour, was practically useless inthe tropics. Australian flour was an es-,sontial article of food supply in all thePacific Islands.

However, in view of the representa-tions made, a communication had been,sent to the administrator asking:—(a)an approximate estimate of the value ofgoods purchased in Australia since Jan-uary 1, 1921, enumerating the principalitems; (b) the class* of supplies which heconsiders it essential for climatic reasonsshould be obtained in Australia; and (c)an approximate estimate, if possible, erfwhat extra cost would be imposed on theadministration if the purchase of all Aus-tralian supplies other than those specifiedin (b) were made, in New Zealand.

"In connection with this question offlour and flour products," Mr. Grayadded, "you may be interested to knowthat by las.t Sydney mail informationwas received that a Sydney manufacturerhad completed all arrangements for theestablishment erf an up-to-date factory atSuva, Fiji, for the manufacture of cabinbread, which is one of the staple foodsof the natives in the whole of the Paci-fic Islands. This ' cabin bread' is thelarge, hard square biscuit which is usuallymade up in 401b tins. Here again, thekeeping qualities of the Australian articleare much superior to those of the articlemade wholly with New Zealand flour. Iunderstand this factory will be completelyequipped, even to the making of biscuittins'."

SAWMILLING FAILURE.

THE MAHAKIRAU COMPANY.

-ASSETS TO BE REALISED.An adjourned meeting of creditors in

tho estate of tho Mahakirau SawmillingCompany, Mercury Bay, was held yes-terday, the official assigns, Mr. W. S.Fisher, presiding. Dr. Fitchett appearedfor the company.

The total liabilities were set down at£4546, and tho assets at £5165, includtna65,000ft. of timber valued at £2515, andmill and machinery, valued at £2650.

The official assignco reported that -hehad received no oilers for the purchaseof the assets as a going concern. Threereturned soldiers had taken over the millon the understanding that after they hadtut a certain quantity of timber, the millshould be theirs •

A creditor stated thai none of the■.imJJcr had been cut during the last twpor three months, and the men were re-yorted to have said they had no intentionof cutting any.

Mr. Fisher said that the state of affairswas very unsatisfactory, but he wouldtake immediate steps to bring the matterto a head.

With reference to the realisation of theestato, Mr. Fisher announced that hehad an offer which would involve thedismantling of tho mill and machinery.

The official assignee was authorised toaccept, .avith the committee's concurrence,the best price obtainable privately for thefree assets at tho mill.

It was also decided to offer for sale acertain quantity of sawn timber as it lies.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1922.

A BREACH OF FAITH.

Is the Government going to keepfaith with Auckland Province in thematter of hydro-elcctrjc develop-ment, and if not, why not? Thatis the question which arises out ofthe Public Works Statement, and wetrust that the representatives of theprovince in Parliament will not allowit to be subordinated to the purelyfinancial considerations to which Mr.Coates attaches so much weight.The question is not answered byanything Mr. Coates has said. Noone expects the Government to workmiracles, and no one disputes thedesirability of financing the water-power schemes on cheap money.But when the Minister uses thepresent price of money as an argu-ment, not for closing down on allhydro-electric enterprises, butmerely on Auckland's scheme, it isnecessary to ask why this provinceshould be singled out for a distinc-tion so invidious. And when hedeliberately inverts the order inwhich experts and Ministers haveplaced the water-power schemes it isnecessary to question his qualifica-tions for reaching so grave a de-cision and the good faith, of anAdministration which goes back onits promises. This criticism is notlightly made, and in order that theGovernment may produce its defencewe hasten to give the facts on whichthe charge of bad faith is based.

The whole plan of hydro-electricdevelopment in New Zealand wasoriginated by Mr. E. Parry, latechief electrical engineer, who recom-mended three North Island schemes,Mangahao, Arapuni, and Waikare-moana, for early development. Hestated that the three schemes werecomplementary, remarking that"those three sources in a naturalcourse of extension will get linkedup together, thereby enhancing thevalue of each source by adding tothe security of supply." He did,however, place Waikaremoanadefinitely third in point of time. Inhis interim report of 1917 he said :—

Waikaremoana should be deferred forthe present. The development of thissource should, to my mind, bo madedependent upon the construction of theNapier-Gisborne railway. The Aucklandand Wellington schemes should proceedsimultaneously.The following year Mr. Parry de-veloped this argument by remark-ing:-

The worst feature of the Waikaremoanascheme is the distance that has to betraversed through difficult country beforegetting any load. On the basis of thisreportr-viz., one-fifth horse-power perinhabitant of present population—there isonly a load of 9191 horse-power that isnearer to Waikaremoana than to eitherof tho other schemes.The order in which the hydro-electricschemes were recommended by theGovernment's expert adviser andaccepted by the Government iandParliament was: Mangahao andArapuni (bracketed) first, Waikare-moana second. Lest there should beany doubt as to the Government'sendorsement of the order it is per-missible to quote Sir WilliamFraser's considered judgment as ex-pressed in the Public Works State-ment of 1919 :—

In view of tho difficulty in procuringlabour, it would bo manifestly improperto pretend that such large new schemesas Waikaremoana and whatever may bedecided on for the South Island couldbe undertaken at present.It was Mr. Coates who first chal-lenged the accepted order of thoworks. On May 28, 1920, he an-nounced that a start would be madewith Waikaremoa'na at an earlydate. The Herald thereupon madethe representation' that " unless Mr.Coates can give an assurance thatneither Arapuni nor Mangahao willbe delayed by lack of labour ormaterials through the undertakingof a third venture he should recon-sider his decision," and a few dayslater Mr. Coates gave the assurancoin the most specific terms that any-thing done at Waikaremoana wouldnot in any way delay the Arapunischeme. On April 29 of tho follow-ing year he made a further promisethat " the development of hydro-electricity is not going to be cur-tailed as a result of the financialstress through which the Dominionis passing," a promise which, givenin Auckland, had no relevance if itdid not apply to Arapuni.

The position to-day is that theGovernment, has entered into com-mitments in respect to six schemes,and Arapuni is not one of them.Taking only three schemes—South-land, Otago, and Waikaremoana—the Government proposes to spend£710,000 within three years, against£560,000, the estimated expenditureon Arapuni during the first threeyears of construction. To*carryonly two of the new schemes—Otagoand Waikaremoana—to completionwill cost £4,030,000, against£3,500,000 required to completeArapuni. The province can judgefrom these facts whether Arapunihas been shelved because money isdear or because rivol schemes havebeeii permitted to jockey it out ofposition in open defiance of expertengineering advice and of the Gov-ernment's pledges—one might addof all commercial tests that can beapplied. On Mr. Parry's figuresevery hor&e-power generated at Ara-puni was to cost £10.80, every horse-power generated at Waikaremoana£13.16, and every horse-power atMangahao £18.30. Even allowingfor the more expensive type of damsubsequently adopted, the Arapuni

scheme can stand the load of highinterest charges far better than itscompetitors, and it is assured of abetter market than the others. Thecity it will primarily serve has apopulation greater by 50,000 thanany other in the Dominion, and theprovince whose industry it will pro-mote is growing in population morethan twice as fast as the remainderof the Dominion. Yet this is thecity and this the province the Minis-ter has chosen to deprive of cheapwater-power on the plea of com-mercial prudence, while he favoursdistricts which are either un-developed or have suffered eclipse.On the facts the Minister's argu-ment proves to be nothing morethan a piece of special pleading.The present rate of interest isobviously not his reason for shelvingArapum. Will the Auckland mem-bers of Parliament press him to giveaji adequate reason or, alterna-tively, compel the Government tokeep faith with the province?

RAILWAY ROLLING STOCK.

The most striking item in thePublic Works Estimates for thecurrent year is the appropriation of£1,500,000 for " locomotives andwaggons constructed in the United

Kingdom," in addition to which thereis a vote of £250,000 for rolling stockconstructed in New Zealand. Thelarger sum, which actually exceedsthe total provision Tor new railwayconstruction, is required to pay for45 locomotives and 2500 waggons forwhich contracts were made withGlasgow and Sheffield firms respec-tively during the previous financialyear when the Government decidedthat the workshops in the Dominion,departmental and private, wereunable to overtake the arrears ofnew construction. Before the /arthe department was embarrassed bythe inadequacy of its rolling stockequipment, and during the war-yearsthe shortage became greater owingto curtailment of the normal pro-gramme. During the seven yearsbefore the war the net additions tothe rolling stock comprised 136locomotives, 5566 waggons, 397carriages and 80 brakes; in the fol-lowing seven years to March 31,1921, the department added only 74locomotives, 2831 waggons, 129carriages and 37 brake vans. In-cluding the British contracts, thedepartment had on order at thebeginning of this financial year, 85locomotives, 2976 waggons, 40 car-riages and 16 brake vans, so thatthe rolling stock provision should bynow be greatly improved. In thecircumstances that existed at thetime the Government was compelledto purchase locomotives and waggonsabroad, but that necessity shouldnot be allowed to arise again. Fora good many years the departmentwas able to obtain its rolling stockrequirements within the Dominion,and that independent policy shouldbe maintained. Adequate extensionof the existing works may not beimmediately practicable or neces-sary, but it is essential that plansshould be in readiness for the estab-lishment, at the earliest opportunity,of the waggon-building shops in acentral position such as Frankton,and for other developments to keep*pace with the expansion of railwaytraffic. The Dominion will probablyget good value for the £1,500,000set aside for the British contracts,but had the facilities been availablelocomotives and waggons could havebeen built at least as cheaply in theDominion and the money wouldhave been spent to greater advan-tage in providing employment for alarge number of skilled workers.

SOLDIER SETTLEMENTS.

Although no explicit admission ismade in tho Bill itself, and thoMinister for Lands has endeavouredto avoid Mr. Wilford's challenge onthe point, the underlying fact of theDischarged Soldiers' SettlementAmendment Bill is clearly that thoGovernment has been compelled toprovide for the writing-down ofvalues placed on land settled underthe repatriation scheme. While itwas buying private estates at ex-travagant prices, and setting a madpace for land speculators generally,the Government refused to listen to'warnings. It is perhaps not surpris-ing that now it is unwilling to admitits mistakes. But it cannot bedenied that this Bill is necessaryonly because unsound methods werefollowed in the investment of thomillions accumulated out of wartaxation. The first section of theBill relates to lands which revert totho Crown, either by surrender orforeclosure. In these circumstancestho farms abandoned by dischargedsoldiers may bo disposed, of on re-newable lease or by sale. The rentunder the lease is to be not less than5 per cent, of the cost of the landto the State " unless in any casetho Minister otherwise speciallydetermines," and the qualifyingphrase obviously gives the Ministerunlimited power to write down thecapital value, Provision is alsomade to enable discharged soldiersettlers holding land under the in-stalment purchase system to surren-der their right to the freehold andobtain a renewable lease, paymentsalready made in reduction of theiprincipal being counted as payments jin advance of rent. Although the jBill does not say so specifically, hereagain the Minister appears to have!open authority to revalue the land, jCircumstances have arisen that com- jpel tho Government to offer theseconcessions to soldier settlers whoitook up their sections during the jlater stages of the boom period, andwhile it would be folly to deny themrelief, it must be recognised that,the country as a whole has to bearthe loss, and that the writing-down jwould not have been so severe if the jGovernmenthad shown a little moreprudence in its settlement opera-tions.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

INDIA'S SELF-GOVERNMENT.There is no simple or obvious solution of

tho Indian problem, says the WestminsterGazette. Nothing is more certain thanthat India is not yot ready for completeself-government on democratic lines. Onthe whole, with the Montagu scheme, wehavte gone as far in the direction of pro-viding for self-government as we can pos-sibly go at the moment. And, in spite ofthe "non-co-operation" propaganda, thenew central Legislature at Delhi has beena conspicuous success. We have 119 coursesave to continue the experiment, and inthe meantime to preserve order. Evacua.-tion would be an act of cowardice anddespair. But if we do not evacuate wemust govern. In the long run, if thethree hundred million people of India wishus to go we shall have to go, for it isimjiossible to coerce such numbers. Butthat is not the position yet. We haveaccepted responsibilities in India whichwo cannot honourably abandon until we

are forced. In the meantime we mustpioscrve law and order, with as muchfirmness as we can command. There is,of course, a tremendous difference betweenfirmness and the panicrstricken brutalityof Amritsar, and that distinction is of theessenco of the problem.

THE LEAGUE'S AMBASSADOR.Writing in the Westminster Gazette,

Major David Davies states that at thelast Council meeting of the Federation ofLeague of Nations Societies held atVienna, a special Committee of WorldPropaganda was constituted, and, as M.Yenizelos has expressed his determinationto retire from Greek politics, it was decid-ed to approach him with the request" thathe would devote his whole energies to thetask. Aftor prolonged consideration, M.Venizolos has agreed. During the nextfew years it is hoped that this idealmissionary will bo travelling from countryto country, stimulating the Leaguo of

Nations Societies in their work of organisa-tion and propaganda, taking counsel withall the living leaders of mankind. "Imaginea nation on the brink of war,"Major Davies adds. "The Minis-ters are met in the council chamber to

j take the fateful decision. . . . Then thereenters a uniquely important figure, the

: Ambassador of tie League of Nations.Famed throughout tho world as a masterpilot on tho ship of State, ho pleads thecause of the League, showing the partit might play in the dispute, enrichinghis argument by illustrating from hispersonal experiences in the past. Hiseloquence, his sterling honesty, and hisunchallengeable logic win the day."

REASON AND BELIEF.A remedy for religious unsettlement

and intellectual dissatisfaction in the in-dividual is offered by Bishop Gore in hisnew book "Belief in God." "We mustbrace ourselves individually and deliber-ately to the task of facing the intellectualquestions and seeing if we cannot reachdecisions, at least provisional decisions,such as can be the reasonable basis, whenput to account in life, of practical cer-tainties. I appeal to men and women ofordinary intelligence and education, dis-carding prejudices and arming themselveswith nothing but the resolute determina-tion to know and follow the truth, toseek to build the fabrio of a belief whichthey cr.n feel in their conscience to bereasonable and convincing." In theclosing passago of tho book, ho pointsout that the theory of Relativity mustaffect even ethical problems. "Tho mindof man is not capable of discovering ab-solute truth. The judgments of the con-science are not and never can be absolutely the judgments of God. Therevelation of God in Christ may bospoken of as establishing 'the absolutereligion' in tho sense that it is, for thisworld, final and universal, but it doesnot mean that 'tho absoluto truth' is

there revealed. It must be admitted tobe the highest kind of truth about Godwhich man ran obtain. It i 6 absolutelytrue in the sense that any human propositions which really ignore it or contradict it are misleading and false "

A DARING ACT OF FAITH.The speech midc by Mr. Austen Cham

berlain to tho Unionists at Liverpool was,says the Manchester Guardian, "notablefor a fine and generous admission suchas the most chivalrous politician rarelyventures to make." It was in pleadingfor acceptance of the Irish settlementthat ho made his "confession." "I hav«been in Parliament for veiy nearly 30years, and have given goodness knowshow many, votes," said Mr. Chamberlain."There are some that I would not re-peat with my later knowledgo and ex-perience. There' are only ono or twothat I would undo. I will tell you on#of them. The South African War wasa just and necessary war. But for thoissues then fought out and settled therecould have been no lasting peaco in thecountry; but though peace was signed,though allegiance was sworn, •reconcilia-tion lagged behind. Then came a changeof Government, and with the new Govern-ment a new policy. By a great act ofdaring faith they conferred upon ourrecent enemies in tbo Transvaal andOrange Free State on the morrow of ourvictory full self-government. I votedagainst them. I thought it a rash andwicked thing To do. Ah, if we couldhave seen further into the future! If Icould have voted in that division withtho knowledge I havo to-day I shouldhave known thnt thai great act of faithwas not, as I thought it, the destructionof our policy, but its completion and itsfulfilment. That is tho vote that I wouldundo if I could undo a vote once given.That great act, that daring act of faith,led directly to the reconciliation of theraces in South Africa."

THE WAR CEMETERIES.Only a few of our larger war memorials

have ibcen wholly successful, says theManchester Guardian. The most movingof all are the severely simple designs forthe final lay-out of our war cemeteries in

Prance. Of others none has surpassedthe Lutyens Cenotaph in Whitehall; andthis for the same reason—it is mostnobly rich in things left out. Suchcemeteries as Sir Richard Blomfield andhis fellow-architects have planned inFrance simply leave you alone and inpeace—'no «jsy task, as almost everyEnglish cemetery shows—with the bestthat you havo it in you to feel andthink about your dead. With aJI thesignificance of their ordered lines ofsimple headstones gathered into one mes-sage for eye and mind by the dispositionof their few collective symbols of sorrow,nffection, and pride, the cemeteries inFrance are now some of the most solemnand beautiful things in the world. Inthem art has returned, after centuries ofdivorco. to a kind of ministration to thehuman heart akin to that which it at-tempted with memorable results in suchancient graveyards as the Campo Santont Pisa. The Whitehall Cenotaph, too,iB a mnsterpieco of refrainment from anykind of excefs—from the florid, the loud,the loquacious. It attains the most ex-treme opposite to the ordinary large civilcemetery in England or France, wherehalf the graves seem to be uttering com-

Eetitive crie& of egoistic grief or poßt-umous vanity.

LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS.

A tramcar accident occurred at half-past five last evening in KarangahapeIload, near the Pitt Street corner, when amarried man, Mr. Philip Skelton, 54 yearsof nge, was knocked down by a city-boundcar. Mr. Skelton, who resides at 6,Canada Street, Newton, was crossing thesheet, and failed to observe the approach-ing tram, which, however, was pulled upquickly. He W3s admitted to the hospital,where he was found to be suffering fromslight concussion and facial abrasions.

A five-seater taxi-cab belonging to 'Mr.W. S- Miller, Khyber Pass, caught firewhile standing in Lome Street at a quar-ter past seven last evening. The CityFire Brigade was summoned, but theflames were extinguished before the arrivalof the brigade by means of chemicalextinguishers. The car was being suppliedwith benzine, and in is not known exactlyhow it caught fire. The damage, whichamounted to about £50, was chiefly to theengine.

The fact that \he rainfall over thewatersheds in the Waitakere ranges hasbeen much more heavy of late than inthe city has had the effect of causingboth the Waitakere reservoir and theauxiliary dam at Nihotupu to overflow.Commenting on the position yesterday,the Mayor, Mr. J. H. Gunson, said theCity Council now has its present maxi-mum storage of water. This is satis-factory, especially in view of the factthat in previous years there has usuallybeen some anxiety as'to a possible short-ago of water in the summer months.Good progress Is being made with thelarge impounding dam in course of con-struction at Nihotupu.

Two business premises at Ellerslie wereentered by burglars the other evening.Prom Mr. E. C. Martin's tobacconist'sshop, some cigarettes wero stolen, whilethe premises of Mr. W. Carter, watch-maker, wore also entered, though nothingwas stolen. In the opinion of the police,boys are responsible for the burglaries.

The New Zealand sheopowners' fundsfor British sailors who were disabled orotherwise incapacitated as a result of warservice is likely to have many calls madoupon it. Since it was announced in theHerald on Monday that about £178,000had been accumulated for the purpose in-dicated the Auckland Patriotic Associa-tion has been besieged, with applicationsfor relief from the fund. These are alllo be thoroughly investigated by the as-Fociation, which will make recommenda-tions to the New Zealand sheepowners'''und trustees, each case being dealt withou its merits.

A suggestion has beon made that theunderscrub in the bush areas of theDomain might form good haiiwurage forrats;. On the matter being mentionedyesterday to the Mayor, Mr. J. H. Gun-son, he said there was no trouble of thekind in the Domain, and no rats had beenreported from that locality. In any casethe City Council's Military inspectors werefully instructed, and where steps werenecessary to deal with rats they wouldtake them.

The public schools in the Aucklanddistrict will reopen this morning, afterthe summer holidays. All the city andsuburban schools will be opened for half-time only during February, since no com-mittees controlling these 6ohools have ap-plied to the Education Board for per-mission to work full time. A large num-Fwr of country schools, however, will beopen for the full time, as a result of thecommittees' applications. Included in thelatter list, which contains the names ofabout 100 schools, are the Rotorua, Puke-kohe, Raglan, Ohaupo, and Dargavilleschools.

Examination of the motor-car owned byBr. E. H. B. Milsom, which was stuckin the soft sand on Muriwai Beach onSunday and extricated and towed backto the city the following day, revealedthat salt water and sand had penetratedevery part of the car, which was dam-aged to the extent of at least £200. Theupholstery was washed away, the undertray forced off, and the wind screenbroken. When efforts to extricate the carby means of block and tackle were com-menced it was realised that tho sand, inwhich it was embedded to a depth ofbetween 4ft. and 6ft., exerted too muchsuction. A team of 11 men dug roundtho car and timbered it up until ropescould be attached to it and two othercars. The tow even then proved so hardthat one car burst its radiator, and theeight miies to the beach approach to theroad were covered with great difficulty.

To-day is the eightieth anniversary ofNelson, the first settlement in the SouthIsland. The site for the Uown was

selected early in November, 1841, by theNew Zealand Company's expeditionparty, and the first batch of immigrantsarrived on February 1, 1842, in thebarque Fifeshire. This vessel was fol-lowed shortly afterwards by the MaryAnn, the Lord Auckland, ana the Lloyds,the last-named bringing the wives andchildren of the members of the Ex-pedition.

UNSETTLED CONDITIONS.

MONTH'S TOTAL 3.79 INCHES.

1.25 INCH ABOVE AVERAGE.Since the break in the weather at the

. beginning of last week the atmospheric| conditions at Auckland have been veryj unsettled and at times stormy. Yester-| day the weather was somewhat boisterous,

with a strong breeze blowing from thenorth. From early morning the sky was

i overcast and threatening, and about 3p.m. rain began to fall. The showers werefairly light at first, but between 7 and7.30 p.m. there was a steady downpour,

: so heavy while it lasted that roofing gut-ters overflowed. At about eight o'clockthe fall moderated somewhat, But steadyrain continued to a late hour withoutany

j indications of the weather improving.J During the heavy rain the wind changedI to the north-west.

The total rainfall for the month up to9 a.m. on Sunday was 2.52in. and therainfall for the 24 hours ended midnight,as registered by the Herald gauge, was1.27in.. making a total of 3.79m. for thomonth, as distinct from the officialperiodwhich ends at 9 a.m. to-day. This is1.25in. more than the average rainfall forJanuary, which is 2.54in.

The heavy rain last evening was notforetold by the barometer, which is un-usually high for the prevailing weather.At mid-day on Sunday it recorded 29.60and then rose steadily until it registered30.15 in. at midnight on Monday. Yester-day it remained practically steady untilabout 7 p.m., when it showed indications

GRAIN CROPS WRECKED.

POVERTY BAY LOSSES.

SEVERE BLOW TO FARMERS.[by tbugraph.—own correspondent.]

GISBORNE. Tueadaj.Agriculturalists have experienced the

most severe setbsck known in this dis-trict for many years, declared a pro-minent farmer to-day. It is quite safe tosay, lie remarked, that more than halfthe local grain crop has been lost as aresult of the continuous wet weather oc-curring in the midst of harvesting opera-tions. While numerous small crops onthe flat may have been harvested Worethe rain came, it is estimated that pro-bably nine-tenths of theoats in the largestgrain-growing centre locally, are still outin the stook, standing in a wet soddencondition, as they have done for days. Itis questionable whether any of the sto-wwill be fit for chaffing.

Enquiries show that possibly half thewheat crop will be saved for fowl feed.Some fine crops of barley and grass 6eedhavo also been lost.

The effect of the rain has been moredisastrous than the summer flood of 1917,which, while it completely swept awaysome crops in stook, only affected a com-paratively small area of the district

It is doubtful now whether many oftlie oat crops will be worth harvesting.The maize lias not so far been affected'by the rain, except that the wet' weatherwill be inclined to make it grow moretall, and consequently render it moreliable to be blown over by successivestorms.

THE WAGES CONTROVERSY.[si teleobaph.—PßESS ASSOCIATION.]

WELLINGTON'. Tuesdir.Some time ago the police force an abody decided by ballot to become membersof the Public Service Association, and waarepresented on the executive of that body

by three delegates. It was considered bya number of members of the force at thetime, including responsible officers, thatthe decision was not in the best interestsof the force. It was felt that the workingof the police force was ro distinct fromother branches of the Civil Sen-ice that itwould not be understood outside the forceitself. Therefore its aims and aspirationscould not bo adequately fostered by thoseunacquainted with its workings.

Hearing in mind that the police forcesin the States in Australia have unions oftheir own, it was decided to obUiu anexpression of opinion irom the rr Mubers ofthe New Zealand force on the matter.With that object in view a representativemeeting vras held on Monday night, whenit -was resolved to withdraw from thePublic Service Association, and to an.proaeh the authorities in regard to form-ing a union of their own.

It was mentioned at the meeting that asuggestion iut forward by one branch 0 fthe Publio Service Association that directaction should be resorted to if a cut inwa.ges took place was repugnant to themembers of the force. It was also statedthat when retrenchment was mooted hrth'j Government the published statementsaid that members of the police force wereto be placed in the same category aaJudgos of the Supreme Court, and in sqfar as salaries and wages were concernedno reduction was to be made. It wasalleged, however, although the police havenot received official information concern-ing the allegation, that the Public ServiceAssociation advocated that if a reductionin salaries was to be insisted on it skrmlijbo uniform and affect all depsrtmetts, andthe police department was included in theRetrenchment Bill.

Mj Dear People,—Our city has nearly twico the populv

tion of any bouthern one, and wo shouldnot be dictated to. Unfortunately ouradvocates a.ro r.ot dead, but sleeping.The Senaw h»s decreed that thosesuffering with dental troubles must besent to Duuedin, and the Hon. C. J.Parr, to try and alleviate the sufferingin transit, has suggested brown bread.The Union Company shifting its headoffice to Wellington no doubt save theDuuedin neople a jerk, and if it receivesany more o! a similar character, itmay shatter remaining wisdom. ThtSeuato has also unwisely decreed thatChiistchurch is to bo the seat ofengineering; it is just about as muchadapted for the profession as it is forforestry, owing to its shallowness inknowledge and soli. After denuding thiscJty. Sir Robert Stout tells us to cheerup, and use his optimistic glasses,which only show Dunediu and Christ-church, so it is obvious they are on thenarrow gauge. Notwithstanding hisfluttering remarks about our scenery,which reauires no boosting, wo can onlyremind visitors that wo are notsusceptible to flattery. 1 rememberwhen our Minister of Public Works wasinstalled how very pronounced he was.and the laudatory remarks thatfollowed, but unfortunately it has beenecho. For instance, to please ourmembers and those that arc infatuatedwith "echoes," we find the proverbialbunch of carrots exemplified, which is

one of many in the following: -Auck-land road district .voles £227.050.against which a liability of £81,924existed on March 31. Last year's votestotalled £317.479. but only £59.172 waseripendeo.

As other countriesare also losing, there it a gleam ofconsolation, as when his lordship drewhis footmen's attention to the fact thata role of a ca-riaj;e was in closeproximity to his head, hut his lordshipwas assured by tie footmen it was allrght, as he was through the carnagein front, and someone else was getting

a similar benefit.

AUSTRALASIA EXCLUDED.By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.

(Received 7.30 p,m.)

A. »nd N.Z. WASHINGTON. Jan. 30.

Japan's reply regarding fortification ofislands in the Pacific, which is tho subjectof article 13 of the naval treaty, has beenreceded. It. is understood that- it givesgeneral approval to the plan agreed onby Mr. C E. Hughes. Mr. A. J.* Balfour,and Admiral Baron Kate.

The Washington correspondent of theNew York Times presents the following asthe official text of article 19:—

TV United State*, the British Empire,and Japan agree thai the status quo atthe time of the signing of tnV presenttreaty w-.ih regard to fortifications andnaval bases shall be maintained in theirrespective territories and possessionsspent'.pd hereunder:

1. lr.Mil.ir possessions which the UnitedStates r."w hn]ds or may hereafter acquirein the Pacific Ocean, except—

(a I Those adjacent to the coast of theI tuted States, Alaska, and thePanama ("snal zone, but not in-cltidinc the Aleutian Islands.

!b> The Hawaiian Islands.1. Hongkong and tho insular posses-

sions which the British Empire now holdsor may hereafter acquire in the PacificOcean east of tho meridian 110 degreeseast longitude, except—

(a) Those adjacent to the coast ofCanada.

(b) The Commonwealth of Australiaand its territories.

■ (c) New Zealand.3. The following insular territories and

possessions of Japan in the Pacific Ocean—to wit, the Kurile Islands, the BoninIslands, Amamioshima, the Riu-Kiu orLu Ohu Islands, Formosa, and the Pesca-dores and any insular territories or pos-sessions in the Pacific which Japan mayhereafter acquire.

The correspondent adds that the fol-lowing oScia] statement has been issuedrelative to the meaning of article 19:—The maintenance of the status quo underthe foregoing provisions implies that nonew fortifications or naval bases shall beestablished in the territories or possessionsspecified, that no measures shall be takento increase existing naval facilities for therepair and maintenance of navalfind that no increase shall be made tocoast defences iu the territories and pos-sessions above specified. This restriction,however, does not preclude such repairand replacement of worn-out weapons andequipment as is customary in naval andmilitary establishments in time of peace.

It is pointed out that article 19 doesnot affect the rights of the French andDutch in regard to their island possessionsin the .Pacific, and that former Germanislands mandated to Japan, Australia,ai'd New Zealand cannot bo fortifiedunder the League of Nations covenant.The article likewise does not affect what-ever marine changes are desired in theislands of the Pacific for commercialpurposes.

The five-Power naval treaty is nowcomplete, and will bo presented at aplenary scw-ion of the conference onFebruary 1. The conference will thenformally adopt the Root resolution pro-posing international enactments to barthe use of submarines against merchant-men and the use of poison gas. Perhapsalso certain resolutions of the Far-

Eastern Committee affecting Chinese ques-tions will be adopted.

Mr. C. E. Hughes hopes that he willbe able to announce a settlement of tEeShantung question. It is expected therewill bo one more plenary session, prob-ably nest week, tor the announcement ofthe line-Power treaty covering Far-Eastern matters, and then a final adjourn-ment.

By the terms of Article 19 of theforthcoming Five-Power Naval Treaty,U outlined above, the agreement to

cease ail further fortifications and pre-paration for possible war in the Pacificis extended to a much wider area thanwas previously foreshadowed. The firstproposal, was to confine the arrangementto area north of the Equator.Now all the far-scattered British posses-sions in the South Pacific are included,with the exception of Australia and NewZealand, together with Papua, Lord HoweIsland and Norfolk Island as Australianterritories, and presumably the LookIslands and other island territories underthe Government of New Zealano. It is

to be noted that the Fiji group will comewithin the scope of the status quo agree-ment. The stipulation of the 110 meri-dian as the eastern limit of the apphca,tia of the arrangement to Britain ex-

cludes Singapore.As affecting the United SUlrt. the

agreement will apply to the PhilippineIslands, Guam, and American bamoa.Japan agrees to preserve the status quoin practically all her outlying islands, in-

cluding the Kurile Archipelago, whichextends from the northern island of Yepto the Siberian mainland, the Bomngroup, due south of the Japanese main-

land, the Riu Kiu islands, stretchingfrom the south of Japan to Formosa,Formosa itself, which lies just to thenorth of the Philippines, and the Pesca-dores, between Formosa and the Chinesemainland.

HOW SHACKLETON DIED.

A SUDDEN SEIZURE.

THREE MINUTES' WARNING.

DOCTORS CALLED TOO LATE.By Telegraph—Presa Nssociation—Copyright.

(Bec*ived 8.15 p.m.)

A. and N.Z. NEW YORK. Jan. 30.Details of Sir Ernest Shackleton's

death aboard the Quest have been re-ceived here from Monte Video.

The message states that Sir Ernesthad been snffering from sharp pains inthe back for some time, but he refusedto undergo treatment beforo sailing.When the Quest poached the whalingstation on South Georgia on January 4Sir Ernest Shackleton went ashore. Hereturned to the ship at 9 o'clock in theevening in the best of spirits, and re-tired early. His health was then ap-parently good, but shortly after 3.30 thonext morning Dr. Macklin was sum-moned, and found him suffering fromsevere nouralgic pains in the back andchest. He said: "Give me somethingto stop this and in a few minutes Ishall be all right Dr. McUroyalso came in, but before the physicianscould do anything Sir Ernest Shackletonwas dead, three minutes after summon-ing assistance.

Derangement of tho ship's various wire-less instruments made it impossible tocommunicate the news of his death forseveral weeks.

Sir Ernest had intended to proceedwithin a day or two to Enderby Land.

His body has been enbalmed at thomilitary hospital, Monte Video, and willbe sent to England aboard the Andes.The Government of Uruguay has decreedofficial honours to the dead explorer.

PRICE OF ENTHUSIASM.

REFUSAL TO GIVE IN.

STRAIN OF PAST HARDSHIPS.A. and N.Z. LONDON. Jan. SO.

Sir Ernest Shackleton's death, after over-coming tremendous difficulties that mightwell have daunted a lesser soul, comeshome to English people with something ofthe same sense of poignancy as CaptainScott's lonely end. Both gave their livesin the cause of science. Sir ErnestShackleton's last public message was:"We may be only on the first rung ofthe ladder of perfect knowledge. Unlessthe first of these first steps be taken therecan be no advancement of human know-ledge."

Summing np his characteristics as aleader, the Times says that Sir Ernest hadfew equals in his outstanding qualities ofdaring, enthusiasm, and foresight, com-bined with business capacity and organis-ation. His example and inspiration re-imain. He held it to.bo man's chief dutyInever to give in.

Lady Shackloton received the news ofher husband's death at her Eastbournehome. She is prostrated with grief, andis overwhelmed with telegraphic and tele-phonic messages of sympathy, but is toodistressed to say anything.

The King and Queen telegraphed toLady Shackloton that they were shockedat the sad news, and offering heartfeltsympathy, adding that they "had greatregard for Sir Ernest, and that the nationhad lost a gallant explorer who had donemuch for science and discovery."

A cablegram from Captain' Hussey. whoaccompanied the body to Monte Video,state; "Sir Ernest Shackleton at 3.30 inthe morning called Dr. Macklin and thewatchman, and complained of pain in theback. He immediately collapsed, and diedin three minutes, without again speakingand before it was possible to do anything.He had not previously complained of ill-ness, only of tiredness."

Professor Charles Sarolea, of Edinburgh,Sir Ernest Shackleton's brother-in-law,said he was not surprised to hear of thesudden death of Sir Ernest, who had re-ceived several warnings recently againstthe strain of his repeated polar journeys.

Mr. Ernest Joyce, who was a memberof the Discovery expedition under CaptainScott in 1901, accompanied Sir ErnestShackleton in the Nimrod in 1908-9, andwas a member of the Ross Sea party inconnection with Shackleton's expeditionof 1914-17, commenting on Professor Saro-lea's statement, said he thought that SirErnest Shackleton's attack was traceabbto the sledging journey in 1901, for whichCaptain Scott specially picked him owingto his cheermess. In the course of thereturn journey, when the others were suf-fering from frostbite and exposure,Shackleton insisted on doing the bulk ofthe pulling, with the result that he brokea blood vessel and was an invalid for along time. Ever since he had felt thestrain of the injury, but he would notgive in.

Sir Ernest Shackleton's body is expected[to reach England from Monte Video inabout three weeks.

Mr. J. Q. Rowell, the promoter of theexpedition, states that Commander FrankWild will carry on the enterprise.

Sir Ernest Shackleton married in 1904a daughter of the late Charles Dorman,and has two sons and one daughter. Asister of Lady Shackleton is married toProfessor Sarolea, of Edinburgh Univers-ity.

THE MARTIAL SPIRIT.

ADVICE TO JAPANESE.

APPLICATION TO INDUSTRY.Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.teed. 7.30 pjn.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.A report from Tokio states that the

Japanese Minister for War, GeneralYamanashi, stated that while it was amatter for great satisfaction to everyonethat the Washington Conference wasbeing crowned with success, a seriousmistake was being made by some politicalleaders in Japan in their efforts to dis-regard the martial spirit of the nation,which was as essential to the peacefulexpansion of the people ag it was intime of war. It was wrong to considerthe martial spirit as incompatible withthe limitation of armaments. Modernwarfare demanded national industry be-sides shells and bayonets. Therefore ifthe nation was to advance and hold itsown in the industrial competition thatwould necessarily follow the establishmentof world peace, its martial spirit mustbe expanded to such a degree as actualarmaments were reduced.

Mr. Amery agreed with the contentionsof the deputation, and added that thecommittee had done much to eliminatedifficulties. It was not possible to estab-lish a central emigration committee, be-cause the Dominion Governments wereindependent of the Britiuh Governmentin the matter.

THE ROYAL TOUR.

FAILURE OF BOYCOTT.A. and N.Z. DELHI, Jan. 30.

Symptoms of the non-co-operators' cam-paign were apparent in connection withthe Prince's one-day visit to Nagpiir, en

routo to Indore, but tho boycott move-ment failed to provent the route throughthe European quarter being well linedwith Indians, and the good reception wasparticipated in by hundreds of nativesfrom the surrounding districts.

Despite the shortness of tho visit thoinhabitants went to great troublo and ex-pense decorating tho streets, and the non-co-operators signally failed in an attemptto picket the railway station. Thobazaars and shops were closed in thonative city, but olsewhero business pro-ceeded as usual. Tho city was in holidaymood. The chief official coremony wasthe Durbar, when the Prince recoived thehomage of feudatory chiefs. Inspectionof troops and scouts, and a State dinnerfollowed.

WILD ELEPHANT DRIVE,

A DISTRESSING SPECTACLE.During his visit to Mysore, tho Prince

spent two days at a junglo camp, wherehe witnessed a keddah, or elephant drive.The operations resulted in the roundingup of only a few of tho 28 elephantswhich, for nearly a month past, had beenringed in a wide area by a regular armyof beaters, fires being maintained bynight. Among these were recognised ani-mals which had .eluded capture in formerdrives.

The spectacle was not a particularlypleasing one, although by no means in-humane, as tb.9 animals are kindly treatedall the time they are being secured. Theygenerally struggle after entering t'hestockade till they drop with exhaustionand fright, emitting piteous cries, wit'hgreat tears rolling from their eyes. ThePrince, with his thoroughly British ideasof sport, did not linger longer thancourtesy demanded.

The sceno of tho camp was one of wild,luxuriant beauty, although tfne contrastof the electrically-lighted tents, set amidthe dense growth, faintly tinged by atouch of tho glorious sunset, was one ofstrange incongruity.

The Prince's tour is now entering upona stage of lonir railway journeys, withcomparatively short stops, until Delhi isreached.

WARNING TO SYDNEY.

PLAGUE IN HEART OF CITY.

DANGER MONTHS AHEAD.Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.

(Becd. 7.80 p.m.) SYDNEY. Jan. 31.The fresh case of plague reported yes-

terday came from business premises in(Liverpool Street.

The director of public health, Dr. J.S. Purdy, is urging the increased neodfor preventive activity. He says that theplague is novr across George Street and isin the heart of the city, and unless thecitizens generally do their duty therewill be an outbreak of quite seriousdimensions.

Dr. Armstrong, President of the Boardof Health, in a warning to citizens re-specting the 'increased necessity for de-struction of rats, says that experiencehas shown that fleas are more numerousin Sydney in March and April, and itis a safe presumption that the numberof rat fleas will also increase. Ho pre-dicts- an outbreak of tho plague duringMarch or April.

ENGLISH CRICKET.

CONTROVERSIES REVIVING.

PLAYING OUT THE TESTS.Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.

(Rccd. 7.30 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 30.Mr, L. H. Tormyson, who captained the

English team in three test matches lastyear, speaking at a meeting of the Hamp-shire County Cricket Club, said hothought that three out of five of thetests ought to be played to a finish. Healso suggested more trial matches beforethe selection of the English team.

A reference to Mr. W. W. Armstrong'sobjection to the selection of test matchumpires in advance on the ground that theymight bo influenced by betting transac-tions was made by Dr. H. W. Bencraft,

a member of the Marylcbone Cricket Com-mittee. He said that the committee ofthe Marylebone Club had made even-possible inquiry at the headquarters ofLondon bookmakers, tho Victoria Club,and wore unable to trace any bettingtransactions whatever having relation tocricket. Ho believed that the wholething was a myth. As one who had fol-lowed county cricket for 45 years, he hadabsolute confidence in tho integrity ofumpires.

Dr. Bencraft added that to play testmatches to a finish, to hold a trial matchin addition to the Gentlemen v. Playerscontests, and to give test match playersa three days' rest before each test wouldinvolve two months out of the cricket sea-son. It was impossible to ask counties tosurrender their first-class players for solong.

The Daily News, in an editorial, asks:" Is it not time that these futile con-troversies relating" to Mr. Armstrongceased ? English criticisms arc cabled toAustralia and Mr. Armstrong's retortsare cabled back and are followed by in-evitable replies. This is not seemly,

, good for the game, or likely to improverelations between Australian and Englishpublics during the next struggle for the

1 ashes.' After all Mr. Armstrong has re-

tired from tho game, and tho sooner wedecently bury last season's unpleasanthappenings the better for our amourpropre."

WAR CRIMINAL'S ESCAPE

GERMAN PRISON BROKEN.

SINKER OF HOSPITAL SHIP.A. and N.Z. BERLIN, Jan. 30.

lieutenant Dittmar, the submarineofficer who was sentenced at Leipzig tofour years' imprisonment for sinking thehospital ship Llandovery Castle, escapedfrom Hamburg* gaol with tlio assistanceof the same gang of former L'-boat officerswho recently helped Lieutenant Boldt toescape.

Dittmar enjoyed special privileges, andafter his warder had been bribed hescaled the prison wall and jumped intoa waiting motor-car.

Tho government is offering a reward of£59 for his recapture.

The Llandovery Castle was torpedoedon June 27, 1918, 100 miles from land andnearly 300 miles from the prohibited area.Of 258 people on board, 254 lost theiriivcs. Boldt and Dittmar, two officers ofthe submarine which sank the hospitalship,, were charged at the Leipzig Courtwith murder last July, and were sentencedto four years' imprisonment without hardlabour, "it was explained that thoy weresubordinate officers, Commander Patzighaving absconded. M the trial Mr. Chap-man, an officer of the Llandovery Castlo,gave evidence that the submarine turneda big gun on his lifeboat in order to forcehim to abandon an effort to rescue menstruggling in the water. When Patzigfired his revolver it was necessary to aban-don the drowning men. The submarinethen' headed straight for the boat twice,evidently bent on destroying all evidenceof the sinking of the hospital ship. Mr.Chapman hoisted a sail and slipped awayin the darkness. German bluejackets re-luctantly gave evidence that some of themtried to persuade Commander Patzig notto sink the Llandovery Castle. Later,Patzig went on deck with the accused.Tho rest of the crew were told to'Temainbelow. It was common talk among thecrew that the lifeboats were sunk by shell-fire, the officers manning the guns. Later,Patzig asked the crew to say nothingabout what had occurred. He accepted fullresponsibility.

Boldt escaped from prison in Novemberlast. The pan-German press then deniedthat he had broken his parole. It statedthat Boldt promised not to attempt toescape for three months. He himselfwarned the authorities when the periodexpired. Permission granted him to re-tain mufti facilitated his escape.

ADVENTUROUS VOYAGE.

CRUISE OF THE 3PEEJACKS.

LUXURIOUS LITTLE CRAFT.[FROM our own correspondent.]

SYDNEY, Jan. 18.The first half of an adventurous voyage

round the world in a 98ft. motor-yachthas jußt been completed by the arrivalof the little craft Spcejacks in Sydney.She has come from New York, whereher millionaire owner, Mr. A. Y. Gowen,is a business- man.' His wife and acouple of friends are accompanying himon the voyage.

The Speejacks is regarded as one ofthe best equipped yachts that ever sailedthe seas. She cost about £50,000 tobuild. Everything below the waterhneis of bronze, and the upper portion isof teakwood, specially imported fromIndia at a huge cost. Her motive poweris supplied by two 250-h.p. engines,which give a speed of 13 knots, witha cruising radius of 3000 miles. She isequipped with wireless, and everythingon board is operated by electricity.

At the truck of her one stout mast theSpeejacks flies the flag of the Adventurers'Club of America. Tho emblem has beencarried to various out-of-the-way parts ofthe world, but the Spe'ojacks will bo thefirst vessel to carry it right round th»globe.

Mr. Gowen has long cherished the ideaof sailing strange seas in his own craft.The outcome of his idea is the Spee-jacks. She left New York last August,and from here she will go up the coastof Australia to the Solomon Islands, thento the Philippines, China, Japan, andto England, via the Suez Canal, finallycrossing the Atlantic to New York,reaching home about 16 months hence.

THE NEW HEBRIDES.

FRENCH INTERESTS.

POSSIBILITY OF SALE.A Parliamentary paper dealing with

Australia's interests in the New Hebrides,states that since 1902 the CommonwealthGovernment has spent approximately£134,000 in the New Hebrides—£22,ooofor assistance to settlers in preparing landclaims, £4000 in refund of Customs duties,and about £108,000 on a steamer service.Australia uaturally gets the bulk of theexport trade as a result of this latter ex-penditure.

Australia's main interest, however, liesin the fact that tho natives of New Hebri-des are decreasing, and labour must beimported. The French own the bulk ofthe land, and are anxious to import Asi-atic labour. The presenco of any consider-able number of Asiatics so near Australiawould be and possiblydangerous.

The French own 600,000 hectares outof a total of 1,200,000 hectares of land.The natives own about 552,000 hectares.A French company, known as the SocieteFrancaise des Nouvelles Hebrides, is thoowner of the 600,000 hectares above-mentioned, and, in addition, has beengranted trading concessions in the group.The company is willing to sell its pro-perty and trading concessions fur 25 mil-lion francs (about £500,000).

The possibility of the sale to British in-

terests has been disclosed to the FrenchGovernment, and it is stated that thetransaction will meet with no objection ontheir part. The purchase of this propertyby British interests would reverse thepresent position so far as dominant landownership in the group is concerned, andsuch would pass from French to Britishcontrol. It is understood vhat Japan is

pressing the sellers for an offer failingAustralian acceptance.

WAR-TIME CRUELTIES.

EAST AFRICAN GERMANS.

NATIVES BRUTALLY FLOGGED

MISSIONARY'S EXPERIENCESWeeks of anxiety, facing the imminent

danger of being dragged out and shot, hishope of life dependent on the amount oftruth and honour which his teachings hadinstilled into natives, was a wartimeexperience in German East Africa ofthe Rev. E. W. Doulton, an old Sydneymissionary. .Mr. Doultou, who is secre-tary of the Church Mission Society forthe Tanganyika Territory, returned toSydney recently by the Malua.

At tho opening of the war in EastAfrica Mr, Doulton was among tiieWagogo people, with whom he was associ-ated for most of his 28 years in EastAfrica.

When the British invaded German EastAfrica the missionaries were transferredby the Germans to the Centra] MissionSanatorium at Keloriani. At tliis stationthe food, as Mr. Doultou describes it,was " awful," and the prisoners were ill-treated by a Prussian, '' who," Mr. Doul-ton says, "was without one redeemingfeature in his character." Fortunately,when the British conquered German EastAfrica this criminal was captured andgiven a stiff prison sentence.

Following the capture of Kendoa Iringiby tho British in 1916, the Germanshustled the captives at Keloriani to thecentral railway line. On arrival at therailway, no train being in sight, thewhite prisoners, including some 20 ladies,who were almost half the party, werethrown into a small shed with about40 very dirty natives, and kept therefor 24" hours under close guard. Mr.Doulton says that the conditions werealmost those of a second "Black holeof Calcutta."

Methods of Torture Pail.On arrival at Tabora the discipline was

very rigorous, and the missionaries werekept within barbed wire entanglements.It was at Tabora that Mr. Doulton andDr. YV'estgate were suddenly haled beforea German Court, presided over by Dr.Human, the Deputy-Governor of GermanEast Africa, and charged with havingtaught their native converts the use ofthe heliograph in order to report themovements of the Germans to the British." Needless to say," said Mr, Doulton," this charge was utterly false. A num-ber of native Christians were caught, andthe Germans tried to make them confessthat the missionaries had taught them touse a heliograph. Though thrown to theground and flogged repeatedly until theyfainted—the flogging was carried outwith hippopotamus-hide whips— thesenatives never faltered in their testimonythat the German accusations were false.One native only, who had been floggedvery hard, partly admitted the words putinto his mouth—between lashes—by historturer. This, however, was prior tothe trial. When the Germans confrontedthe missionaries with this prisoner in anopen Court a dramatic scene took place,for the native, instead of testifying againstthe prisoners, admitted that he had madea false statement under duress. He saidthat they could kill him if they liked,but he would maintain that he knewnothing of any signalling.

Rescued by Belgians. j"The principal witness having failed, Itho case broke down, but the prisoners

were not acquitted. They were kept underclose guard, and another Judge was sentup to try them! Again the case brokedown. In spite of the failure of the Ger-mans to establish the case, Mr. Doultonwas not acquitted even then, and as faras lie knows he is still under suspicion,but he is not much troubled by it, asall vestige of German influence has prac-tically vanished from Tanganyika terri-tory. The prisoners were rescued wben theBelgians took Tabora, and the missionar-ies were sent home on furlough."

During his many years' ministry Mr.with other missionaries, has suc-

ceeded in mastering the language of theWagogo people, lhis language is calledChicago, and is very beautiful and expres-sive. The language is, strange to say,superior to the people who use it, forevidence shows the Wagogo to have beenonce much more highly civilised than theyare to-day. The translation of the NewTestament has been successfullycarried outin idiomatic Chicago. Much of the OldTestament and the Psalms were translatedalso, but the manuscript was destroyedduring the fighting between the Britishand Germans when the mission station wasburnt. Many years' labour thus vanishedin smoke.

Mr. Doulton is stilL keenly interested inTanganyika, where he expects to returnin due course. His only son, who wasborn there, served with distinction in theBritish armies during the late war, andhas'recently left Oxford to accept the posi-tion of Deputy Commissioner of the Ken-doa-Iringi district. This will give him thepower of administering the tribe amongwhich ho was born and for whom hisfather has worked for so many years.

REMARKABLE WATCH.

ASTRONOMICAL TIMEKEEPER.An astronomical watch, which combines

an unusual number of indications, andcost £1050 has been made by a Londonfirm. The front main dial of the watch,on which ordinary time is indicated, car-ries four small dials. One of these showsthe days of the week and the date of themonth, while another shows a perpetualcalendar indicating first, second, thirdand leap years. The third small dial in-dicates the phases of the moon, and inconjunction with this dial there is anindicator and pointer which shows at anytime to what extent the watch is woundup. The fourth small dial acts as a re-cording chronograph and shows the hoursand minutes, seconds and fifths of secondsbeing recorded by a pointer operatingover a dial engraved round the outercircumference of the main dial. A stoparrangement operates in connection withthis chronograph mechanism, and boththe second hand and the hour and minutehands of the main dial may be returnedta zero at any time.

The main dial also carries a furtherhand which is rendered distinctive by asmall sun near its outer end. This handshows the equation of timo, or the posi-tion of the sun before or after clock time.The sun and the clock agree on Decem-ber 25. On December 27 the sun is595. slow as cornered with clock time,while on December 28 it is lm. 0.295.slow. By April- 16 it agrees again, andon April 17 is 19s. fast, and so on. Suntime and clock time agree on December25, April 16. Juno 14, and August 31.The coincidences vary slightly in differentyears. Thesevariations are allowed for bythe watch itself, as also are the varia-tions in the number of days in the monthand the special February variation in

leap year The watch strikes hours andquarters,' andi repeats timire, quarters,and minutes at any time at will.

On the back of the watch there is a

dial showing the sidereal day of 24 hours.This is the timo that elapses between twosuccessive upper culminations of a fixedstar It is shorter than a mean solar daybv 3m 55.915., so that the sidereal hourhand actually takes 23h.56m. 4.095.t0travel round the dial. The back of thewatch also carries a star chart or plani-sphere. The point on the chart corre-sponding to the North Pole is set at thecentre of the sidereal hands, and the ex-posed portion of the chart correspondswith the portion of the sky visible in thelatitude at which the watch is used. Ar-rangements are made to set the chart to

i fulfil this condition. The chart is gearedto the sidereal time movement, and thetimes of the rising and setting of thestars are duly indicated. The chart is ofassistance in obtaining tho bearing of com-pass points. The movements of the watchare built in three galleries or tiers, andare fitted throughout with diamond andruby jewels. The watch runs for 30 hourswith one winding. It has an 18-carat goldcase, and is certainly a very remarkableexample of the watchmaker's art,

RETIRED FROM BENCH..

MAGISTRATES' AGE LIMIT.

PRESENT LAW CRITICISED,

MATURITY OF EXPERIENCE,[BY TELEGIUra.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

CHEISTCHDRCH, Tuesday.A number oi opinions unfavourable to

the statute by which magistrates arecompulsoriiy retired from the Bench onreaching the age of 65 years were ex-pressed at a farewell ceremony to Mr.S. E. McCarthy, S.M., to-day.

Mr. J. J. Dougall, president of theCanterbury Law Society, said the lawof the country decreed that a magistratemust retire when ho attains Uio ago of65, no matter what his mental attain-ments or his capacity might be. Therewere many who doubled if that was awise law. It did not obtain in England.Even in New Zealand they knew ofcases in tho past where men had donegreat work when over that age, TheLord Chief Justice of England was 70and tho Master of the Rolls was 72.Mr. Justice Darling, the best knownJudge in the Empire, was 72. Thesethree men wero daily at work in Lon-don with tho alertness of youth and the.maturity of experience that comes withage. Sir Edward Clark, the doyen olEnglish law, who was 81, was still inactive practice. There were others inEngland who, although a great age, werostill carrying on their work, showingthat age was no bar to service.. Mr. W. J. Hunter mentioned that, the

Chief Justico of New Zealand, SirRobert Stout, had reached the advancedage of 77. Ho was still presiding overthe University Senate, and continued totake his seat on the Bench. He sup-ported Mr. Dougall's contention thatmagistrates should not be compulsoriiyretired at 65. .A man at. that age shouldnot have to make a fresh start in life

Mr. V. G. Day, S.M., expressed hisregret that men such as Mr. McCarthyshould be "scrapped " from the magis-terial Bench when full of life and vigour,with their mentality unimpaired."There comes a time in any man's

life," said Mr. McCarthy, "when hisefficiency begins to wane, and perhapswhen we view the average duration ofhuman efficiency 65 may not be too earlyan age for people to retire." He thought■n choosing magistrates preference shouldbe given to those practitioners who hadsuccess in their profession. Proper sal-aries and pensions should be provided.There were several anomalies he wishedto draw attention to. A senior magis-trate in one of the four centres receiveda salary of £900 a year, a second magis-trate received £850, and others £800.It appeared to him that the work donoby all the magistrates was very muchon a par, and that the salaries should liemade ecpal. A magistrate was broughtinto close contact with every class ofthe community, and it appeared to himthe present tenure of magistrates' office,did not tend to forward the dignity ofthe Bench. That tenure was during the

i pleasure of the Government, which couldI give three months' notice of tho ter-mination of appointment. In EnglandJudges were appointed during life andgood behaviour and retired at 72. Theoffice of magistrate would not attain thedignity and efficiency which it warranteduntil magistrates, equally with Judges,were appointed during life and good behaviour. Ho desired to make it clearhe had no further material interest inthe matter, but he was merely speakingon behalf of the men who were still onthe magisterial Bench.

BULLOCK IN A TREE.

PECULIAR STORM EFFECTS.

DAMAGE BY LIGHTNING.[prom 008 OWN COIIBESPONDEHT.]

PSINET. Jan. 17.Some peculiar incidents occurred in con-

nection with the storms which have beenravaging the country districts of NewSouth Wales during the past week. Onthe banks of the Wollondilly, near Rossi-ville, Mr. D. Macdonald had some cattlegrazing. The willows along the riverafforded excellent shelter. The terrificwind swept along the valley and bent thebig willows double. A bullock was feed-ing directly under the fork of ai tall treewhen the hurricane burst. The tree,writhing almost double, whirled downward,the forked branch gripping the ox fromneck to flank and closing on the doomedanimal like a living vice. To an onlookerit seemed as if tie tree had bent andpicked the animal off the ground. Oneinstant tie bullock was feeding, the nexth's was swinging in mid-air, the lifecrushed out of him by the forked branch.After the wind had dropped the carcasewas so tightly held tbat the branch nadto be sawn through to release it.

In Goulburn a terrific flash of lightningstruck a sewer vent, smashing concretesplinters from it and scattering them overthe roofs of adjoining houses- Mr. JamesSteele, who was crossing the yard closeby was BtTuck by the current, thrown tothe ground, and badly shaken. He is stillin bed, but is recovering. Next door thelightning hit a verandah post, a manstanding near being hurled against his ownback door. At the same instant his wife,carrying a dish of peas, was emergingfrom the kitchen. The shock pitched thedish from her hands and distributed the

, peas around the verandah but she was

Herself unhurt. Many electric dght wires' were fused and motors put out of action.

DEFENCE ECONOMY.

COMMONWEALTH FORCES.

CIVILIAN VERSUS REGULAR.Among the proposals being considered

for the reduction of the Defence esti-mates is a reversion to the old district

system displaced after the war by the

present divisional organisation, says aSydney paper.

While this is strongly opposed by theGovernment's military advisers, it u

favoured in some quarters as a possiblemeans of reducing expense.

Under the scheme proposed the mostimportant commands, now held by regu-lars who have had war experience, willbe entirely in the hands of part-time at.z ,mi force officers. The highly technicalstaff appointments will continue to boheld by regulars.

By this suggestion a large number otsenior officers would be retired, with »

consequent saving of salaries. The facithat these soldiers have given the bestyears of their lives to the service of theState, and are too advanced in years tolearn another business or profession, willapparently be left out of count by tneeconomists. .

By the elimination of many senior oni

cers there would be a saving of money,but experienced men say it is question-able whether, owing to the elaborateorganisation now necessary for prepara-tion for war, the citizen soldiers availablewould be capableof coping with the prob-lems which would arise.

It is also contended by opponents otthe district scheme that by reserving thebest positions in the service for citizenforce officers, to the detriment of U»

regular men, trained at great expense at

Duntroon, it is practically «g»»the most brilliant of the y«r offigwill take the first opportunity of l«vW 0

the service of the Commonweiltii.

WELLINGTON. Tuesday.

'Practically the whole of this afternoonwas given up by. the House of Representa-tives to the discussion of the reports ofselect committees. Question time nassedquickly, and tho prospects for rapid pro-gress appeared good. However, the deci-sions of the various committees coveringpetitions and certain private Bills fur-

' nished material for sufficient debate tokeep the proceedings going until the din-ner adjournment. In the evening it wasfirst decided tc disagree with some of theamendments made by the LegislativeCouncil to the Land Agents Bill Thesecond reading of the Harbours Amend-ment Bill was then briefly debated. ThoHouse proceeded to consider the LoanCompanies Bill, which was down for secondreading, and this was carried without de-bate. The second reading of the Govern-ment Railways Amendment Bill was thentaken and disposed of after a short dis-cussion. Tho Companies Temporary Em-powering Bill and the Arms AmendmentBill were read a second time. TheHarbours Amendment Bill, Loan Com-panies Bill, Companies TemporaryEmpowering Bill, and Arms Amend-ment Bill were then put throughCommittee and passed. The DentistsAmendment Bill was amended so as to

reduce the time required to qualify fromfive to four years and was then passed.The Land Laws Amendment Bill wasintroduced by Vice-Regal message, reada first time, and referred to the LandsCommittee. The Hospital and CharitableInstitutions Bill was then taken, in Com-mittee, and the discussion was proceedingat a late hour.

LOADING OF BUTTER,

INQUIRIES PROMISED.[bv telegraph —special reporter.]

WELLINGTON, Tuwday.Reference to the delay in the unloadin;

of butter in Loudon was made in thHouse to-dav bv Mr. 0. J. Hawken (Egrnont). There was still great delay, h>understood, and he asked that inquineshould be made into the matter. He ha<had several complaints from dairy companies. When there was similar troubha month or six weeks ago an assuranciwas given that it would not happeiagain, but apparently there had been jlecurrence.

The Hon. W. Nosworthy said the question apparently referred to the blockingof the unloading of theTainoi. He couicgive an assurance that a, cablegram hadbeen despatched to &e> 'High Cbnimis-aoner in London asking him to inquireinto the trouble. When the reply arrived,as it was expected to do in a day or so,he -would be glad to give further infor-mation.

RAILWAY MATTERS.*

IMPORTATION OF COAL[viz telegraph.—press association.]

WELLINGTON. Tuesday.

The second reading of the Government"Railways Amendment Bill was moved bythe Hon. D. H. Guthrie to-night.

Mr, W. A. Veitch (Wanganui) said he■would move in Committee an amendmentto the clause covering agreements as tohours of work, so that in any newarrangements nothing should be done toincrease the hours of work This wasnecessary in the interests of both staffand public safety. Her urged that an im-provement in railway facilities at thechief centres should be undertaken with-out delay, thereby adding to the pro-ductive possibilities of the railways andproviding work for a large number ofunemploved.

Mr. H. E. Holland, Leader of theLabour Party, urged improvement in_ theaccommodation on trains and the abolitionof the second class. He accused theGovernment of neglecting the country'sown sources of coal Buppry by not pro-viding proper housing for miners. If thiswere done the New Zealand mines wouldproduce all the coal required, and therewould be no need to go outside for sup-plies, which frequently were of inferiorquality.

The Minister, in the course of his. re-ply, combated the argument of Mr.Holland with regard to the importationof foreign coal, contending that for thepast twenty-five years we had been im-porting coal for the railways. New Zea-land had spent many thousands of poundson foreign coal, which ought to have beenspent in the Dominion, but this had beenmade compulsory because the coal miners•of New Zealand had been weak enoughto listen to the advice of extreme lead-ers.

The Bill was read a second time, andreferred to the Railways Committee.

NEW LANDS BILL.

THE PASTORAL LEASES.

NATIONAL ENpOWMENTS.

PROVISION FOR FREEHOLD.[by telegraph.—special reporter.]

WELLINGTON. Tuesday.The Land Laws Amendment Bill was

introduced in the Houso of Representativeslate to-night. The Bill contains provisionsconcerning pastoral lands on the lines re-commended by a recent Royal Commis-sion. It has also some general provisionsaffecting Crown and endowment lands.

The improvements required of the les-sees of pastoral lands disposed of here-after shall be (1) in the first year equalin value to one year's rent, (2) in the firsttwo years equal to two years' rent, (3)in the first six years equal to four years'rent.

The Minister may notify these require-on tho advice of tho land boards if theprovisions aro unreasonable in specialcases.

Holders of pastoral leases are to begiven the same privileges in regard topostponement of rent, as are at presentenjoyed by Crown tenants-

To the reasons for which the term ofa pastoral lease may be extended is addedthat of substantial loss due to a decreasein the price of stock or produce, or to anygeneral financial stringency.

Clause 12 makes provision for the ac-quisition of the fee simple of pastorallands where the lease is longer than 14years, the cash or deferred payment sys-tem to apply, and the price to be not lessthan the unimproved value at the timeof disposal, together with the Crown's in-terest in any improvements. No personshall be entitled to secure the freehold ofan area greater than is sufficient in theopinion of the board for the maintenanceof tho lessee and his family. . [

National endowment land hold undera pasturage lease or license for a termof not less than 14 years, of whtidh notless than seven years have expired, maybe removed from the category of nationalendowment land by proclamation if thearea held by the lessee is not more thansufficient to maintain himself and his fam-ily. The land may thereafter be acquiredas freehold by the lessee in the same wayas provided by the precediug section. Tho5000 acre limit prescribed by the originalAct for land acquired by one personfrom the Crown is not to apply to suchlands.

The land board may, with the ap-proval of the Minister, extend a pastorallease for 14 years at the existing rent.This may also apply to education reservesadministered by a land board if the Min-ister for Education consents.

hi reply to a question when the Billwas introduced the Minister for Educa-tion, Hon. C. J. PaiT, said there' was noprovision for granting the freehold ofeducation endowments.

Where rural Crown land or settlementland is held under license with a viewto purchase by deferred payment, andwhere the present financial stringency ismaking it impossible for the licensee tokeep up his payments, an extension offive years may be granted, with a pro-portionate reduction in the amount of theinstalments. The same provision for ex-tension is made in the case of small graz-ing 'vTuns where the term is duo to ex-pire within five years. It is providedthat in no case shall a lease or licenseof any land administered by a land boardbe forfeited without the written consentof the Minister for Lands.

The term "substantial improvements"is extended to include the installation oftelephones, electric lighting, and electricpower plant*.

THE HOSPITALS BILL.

MEASURE IN COMMITTEE.

PROTEST BY MR. HANAN.[BX TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

WELLINGTON. TueadayThe Hospital and Charitable Institu-

tions Amendment Bill was taken in Com-mittee in the House to-night.

The Hon. J. A. Hanan said a Bill ofsuch a contentious nature should not bebrought in at such a late hour. It wasnot fair to members, who had had astrenuous day. It simply meant a Billthat should be carefully considered wouldbe rushed through. He specially objectedto the clauses dealing with private hos-pitals. These clauses should be held overto enable the British Medical Associationto meet and express its opinion on them.

The Minister said ho had no intentionof forcing these clauses through. At thesame time they were the result of care-ful thought by his departmental officers,who thought, in the interests of the pub-lic, tr nat private hospitals should be thesubject of closer inspection. He askedthe House to pass these clauses, andwhen they went to the Legislative Coun-cil the British Medical Association wouldhave an opportunity of stating its objec-tions before the committee of that body.

The discussion was in progress at a latahour-

MONEY ON DEPOSIT.

CONVERSION BY COMPANIES.

INCOME TAX QUESTION.[BT TKLEGRAIH.—SPECIAL REPORTER.]

WELLINGTON. Tueed&y.The purpose of the Companies Tempor-

ary Empowering Bill, introduced in theearly hours of this morning, is to enablecompanies holding money on deposit toconvert their obligations, with the con-sent of the lenders, into preference shares.There is one factor in this to be over-come. A company is at present entitledto deduct the interest it pays to deposi-tors from its assessable income for thepurpose of income tax, and without somespecial provision its position would bechanged in that respect by the proposedconversion. Instead of the deduction thecompany would be required to pay incometax upon tho amount of the dividend paidto depositors. It is therefore proposed bythe Bill to enable companies holding ex-isting deposits to create "deposit prefer-ence shares," which the company canspecifically exchange with depositors forexisting deposits. It is provided that forthe period of five yeaiß from the com-mencemftnt of tho Act the company shallbe entitled to deduct from its assessableincome tho dividend payable to depositpreference shareholders in the same man-ner as it now does the interest paid todepositors.

The holders of deposit preference shareswill pay income tax on their dividends.

WELLINGTON, Tuesday.The Gold6elds and Mines Committee'sreport on the polition of Richard Ross, ofThames, and 26 others, praying for com-

pensation for losses sustained through therestriction on the sale of gold in the openmarket during the-war period, was dis-cussed in tho House to-day. The com-mittee recommended that the report bereferred to the Government for favourableconsideration. The committee pointed outthat during recent years no industry wasso hard hit as goldmining, the commoditybeing m the intercsta of the Empire andat the request of the Imperial Govern-ment, prohibited from export, with the re-sult that a loss, based upon the worldmarket price, of approximately 20s perounce, was sustained by petitioners.Mr. J. Horn (Waka'tipu) read corres-pondence on this subject between thosa in-terested and the New Zealand Govern-ment and the Imperial Government. Hesaid the banks bad made a profit of £16s Id out of the gold sold, equal to£1,500,000. The banks ita addition, andalso tho Government, had made a hand-some profit out of the extra note issue,and ho suggested that during the nextfive years there should be a tax on thenote issue so that tho miners might getback something for the losses they sus-tained during the war.

Mr. C. E. Statham (Dunedin Central)strongly supported tho plea on behalf ofthe miners. This, lie said, was 'anotherglaring instance of the manner in whichthe Government played into the hands ofthe banks and financial institutions duringtho war.

The Hon. E. P. Lee: It was theNational Government that did that..

Mr. Statham: Well, whatever Govern-ment it waa. The National Governmentwas just as bad as this one.

The Hon. G. J. Anderson said enormousdifficulties stood in the way of doing/ any-thing in this matter. Tho member forDunedin Central in saying the Govern-ment was responsible was stating what heknew to be untrue. He knew tho Im-perial Government had given instructionsthat this should be done. He also knewthe Government of this country had tofollow that lead. The member for Dun-edin Central had not made complaintdur-ing the war.

Mr. Statham: Yes he did.Mr. Anderson challenged Mr. Slatham

to show from Hansard that he had /saidanything in tho direction indicated. Headded that he did not seo any practicalway out of the difficulty, but ho wouldstudy the question durinc the recess.

Mr. L. M. Isitt (Christchurch North)blamed tho Government for havingallowed this thing to happen. He saidthe Massey Government had a preponder-ance of the power in the National Cabinetand should take the blame. What, hoasked, had the Board of Trade been doingto allow such n state of affairs?

Mr. Nosworthy, replying to Mr. Isitt,pointed out that both the Minister forFinance and the Minister for Mines Intho National Government were membersof the Liberal Party, so tho sin in thiscase, even by the arguments of the hon.member for, Christchurch North, had beensheeted homo to the Liberals.

The Hon. E. P. Lee chaffed Mr. Isitt.It was curious, ho said, that the memberfor Christchurch North should have com-plained that the Board o( Trade had notseen that the banks did not make thislarge profit. The Board of Trade was notin existence at the time. (Laughter.) Hefurther pointed out that the Treasurer inthe Ministry of that timo was one whomMr. Isitt had always followed, and theMinister for Mines at that time was alsoa pillar of his party. When the NationalGovernment had put on the embargo therehad not been been a word of protest fromMr Isitt. The hon. member had missedhis opportunity. He should have attackedthe position when tho National Cabinetwas in existence. However, Mr. Lee said,he believed the real reason for the posi-tion that had arisen was the request fromthe Imperial Government.

Several other members who had gold-miners in their constituencies joined in thodiscussion, and the roport was laid on thetable of tho House.

LABOUR MEMBERS' BILLS,

REPORTS BY COMMITTEE.

LAW OF COMMON EMPLOYMENT.[BV TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

WELLINGTON. Tuendij.

The Workers' Compensation Amend-ment Bill, produced early in the sessionby Mr. E. J. Howard (ChristchurchSouth), was brought bofore the Houseto-day by the Labour Bills Committee,which recommended that the Bill shouldbo given consideration when the proposedconsolidating measure was proceeded withnext session.

Sir John Luke, chairman of the com-mittee, said the committee was preparedto deal with thoBill in the usual way, butit had received an assurance from thoMinister for Labour that he proposed tobring down a consolidating measure nextsession, when the points raised in Mr.Howard's Bill would be considered.

Mr. Howard explained his Bill in de-tail, and said the principal clause wasthat abolishing the law of common em-ployment. He claimed in this he had thesupport of Sir John Salmond, who spokeof the system as pernicious, and ono whichshould be wiped out. Mr. Howard arguedthat opposition to the proposal to abolishthe law of common employment was owingto the fear that insurance companieswould not accept risks, and not becauseit was honestly believed tflat tho principlowas wrong.

The report of the committed was tabled.The Labour Bilk Committee recom-

mended that the Painters and Decorators'Health Protection Bill should bo broughtup next session. Sir John Luke said thiscourse was suggested because of the pres-sure of time. He thought the Bill would"get a good run " next session.

Mr. W. A. Veitch (Wanganui) contendedthat an excellent iion-poisonous substitutefor whito lead in paint had been found.Steps should bo taken to prohibit the usoof white load in paint, as it was a menaceto the health,, not only of the painters,hut to tho occupants of houses in whichit was used a? paint.

Mr. Howard.supported the contentionsof Mr. Veitch, and gave a large numberof details as to fhe effect of lead poison-ing.

The report of the committ<>o was orderedto lie on the table.

On behalf of tho Labour Bills Commit-tee, Sir John Luke said the committeehad come to the conclusion that the Un-employment Workers . Bill was to someextent an Appropriation Bill, and shouldbe redrafted before it could be consideredby the House. It introduced a new politi-cal principle in New Zealand, namely, thopayment of unemployed, and would re-quire a good deal of careful consideration.

Mr. P. Eraser (Wellington Central),who introduced tho Bill, said it wasbased on that introduced by the Queens-land Labour Government, but he recog-nised that the conclusion of the committeeto tho effect that tho Bill' was an Appro-priation Bill was just. At the same time,the House should not adjourn until someprovision had boen made to cope withthe unemployed problem. Personally, hedreaded facing another winter with un-employment as rampant as it was lastyear. Tho payment of unemployed,though new to New Zealand, was themost important feature of the Bill, thefundamental principlo of which was theright to work.

The report was ordered to lie on thotable.

HARBOURS AMENDMENT.

DEBATE IN THE HOUSE.y

UTILISING MUD-FLATS.

THE TERMS OF LEASES.[by telegraph.—press association.]

WELLINGTON. Tuesday.In the House this evening Sir W. H.

Hemes moved the second reading of theHarbours Amendment Bill, which em-powers boards to provide dining andother accommodation for waterside work-ers, also to regulate traffic on foreshoresand to enable useless mud-fiats to beutilised.

Mr. T. M. Wilford, Leader of theOpposition, objected to power being giyento grant the freehold to persons takingup mud-fiat lands, some of which whenreclaimed would be very valuable.

Mr. T. W. Rhodes (Thames) agreedthat all waste mud-flats should be put togood use, but reclamation should bo doneby tho Government. If leases werogranted to private persons, however, theyshould be for terms long enough to enablethe lessees to bring the land into profit-able condition.

The Hon. J. G. Coates pointed out thatthe Bill applied particularly to( the fore-shore of Hokianga and adjoining inlets.The lessees could not be expected to goto the expense of reclamation unless theycould some day get the freehold.

Mr. Wilford said he did not object tothe freehold being granted, but he wantedthe terms defined on which tho freeholdwas obtainable.

Mr. G. W. Forbeg (Hunmui) said hedid not liko handing oirer these lands toprivate enterprise, which would hold onfor speculative purposes. The reclamationshould be done by the Government whichwas the only body able to undertake thework on the scale necessary to produceprofitable results,

Mr. V. H. Reed (Bay of Islands) saidthe Bill would be a great boon to his dis-trict, where there were very long tidal

river foreshores (300 miles in one rivera one), which were valueless until re-chimed.Mr. H. Atmore (Nelson) urged thatHarbour Boards should have power togrant extended leases of mud-flat lands,so that they might be brought into pro-

fitable occupation.Mr. J if. Dickson (Chalmers) sup-ported this suggestion.Mr S. G. Smith advocated that harbourHoards shbuld be given the same power asmunicipal authorities to buy back theirown bonds.Tho Minister replied that this matterw,as one of great difficulty, as each har-

bour board loan was authorised by sepa-rate legislation. Tho whole question wouldbe renewed in a comprehensive Harboursrill] to be introduced next session. Re-ferring to criticism of clauso four, theMinister said the proposal was not nowIt was only poposed to grant leases ofland between high and low water marks vPower existed to give leases of these landslor 21 years, but this term was not longenough, and greater encouragement mustbe giren to possible lessees, especiallywhere, as in North Auckland, Uiese werechiefly small farmers.Tho Bill was read a second time.

SUPPLY OF ELECTRICITY.

MOUNT EDEN RETICULATION.COUNCIL TO CONSULT ENGINEER.

Arrangements for tho reticulation ofelectricity in Mount Eden formed tho sub-ject eft a statement made to the BoroughCouncil last evening by the Mayor, Mr.J. W. Shackelford.

After referring to the passing of theAuckland Electric Power Boarcf Bill onJanuary iy, Mr. Shackelford said a monthwas allowed for tho suburban bodies togive notice to the City Council if they pro-posed doing their own reticulation. Inaddition to tho City Council's plant, therewas a strong possibility of securing 2000h.p. from Horahora for Auckland in thenear future. Mount Eden, therefore,should bo able to obtain all it needed, asits requirements would bo mainly in thonature of a night load. There was nodoubt in his mind that if they did theirown reticulation they would 'bo able tosupply the district from one end to theother. All parts were clamouring forelectric power. In regard to the financialsido he thought tho council would be ableto put forward a satisfactory scheme forfinancing tho reticulation.

Mr. Shackelford then proposed that aspecial meeting be held next Mondav forthe purpose ofconferring with Mr. A. GWalker, consulting electrical engineer to(he council. Tho council could then calla meeting of ratepayers and place thoposition before them.The motion wag carried unanimously.

THREE MEN DROWNED.

A VICTORIAN TRAGEDY.Three men were drowned in a dam at

Moyarra, a few miles Korumburra,a Gippsland town in Victoria. The vic-tims were William Ernest Rainbow, aged28 years, Henry Philip Rainbow, aged25 years, and Charles Henry Scarborough,aged 19. All were residents of Moyarra.Tho men left tho homestead of Mr. W.Rainbow with the intention of swimmingin a dam on Mr. Rainbow's, property,about half a mile from the homestead.As they did not return for .dinner, Mr.W. Rainbow went tq look for them. Hefound tho clothes of his sons and Scar-borough on the bank of the dam withtwo dogs guarding them.

A good »idea of what had happenedwas revealed by the bodies. That ofHenry P. Rainbow was partly dressed,while tho bodies of William E. Rainbowand Charles Scarborough, which were un-dressed, were locked together. It is

known that William E. Rainbow hadheart trouble, and it would appear thatsoon after entering the water ho got into'difficulties. Scarborough went to his as-sistance, and as he was being over-powered by tho struggling man, HenryRainbow, though only partly undressed,wont to the assistance of his brother andScarborough, and was also taken under.

TAKAPUNA TRAMS.

THE QUESTION OF FARES

DISCUSSION BY COUNCIL.

OPPOSITION TO PROPOSALS.Tho proposals made by the Takapuna

Tramways and Ferry Company for a newscale of fares for its tramways andsteamer services were considered by theTakapuna Borough Council last eveningat a special meeting.

A motion for the rejection of the pro-posals was introduced by the Mayor, Mr.A. M. Gould, but decision was deferredontil this evening, to permit a thoroughconsideration of (file issues and an oppor-tunity for a revision of tho motion ifnecessary.

Tho motion was as follows:—"That thiscouncil, while willing to readjust fares toremove any undue hardships resultingfrom the war, which the company has notalready passed on to the public by meansof Wie great increaso. in ferry chargesduring the war period, cannot accept thenew scale proposed by the company,which appears to be far in excess of whatis justified by the company's present posi-tion and past returns. This council isfurther of the opinion that the recom-mendations of the Takapuna TramwaysCommission afford a fair basis for an ar-rangement to last while working expensesremain abnormal, and suggests that therecommendations be given a trial uponan understanding that tho scale recom-mended does not give a reasonable profitover working expenses on the entire un-dertaking, and then an adjustment offerry charges to meet the deficiency bemade by the directors, in conference witha committee of the council after a periodof six or nine months, the arrangementto commence at the end of the presentfinancial year."

Matter of Working Expenses.Mr. Gould said that it was complained

that tho company had not been allowedto increase its charges to meet the in-crease in working expenses attributed tothe war. This should be remedied, butfurther than that, ho could see no hard-ship that needed remedy. After givingdetails of the company's financial position,as supplied by the company's directors tothe meeting of December 20, the Mayorsaid that if the fares were .increased 100per cent., and if working expenses re-turned to normal, the company would beleft with scope for abnormal profit. Hecriticised (he figures estimated by thecompany's representatives to cover thisyears working expenses. The total,£32,000, admittedly included repairs tothe steamer Pupuko, estimated at be-tween £2000 and £3000. Last year de-bentures wero renewed, involving fairlylarge sums. The proposed scale was ap-plicable to a state of affairs in whichworking expenses were at their maximum.They bad commenced to descend thedowli grade, and it would be placing aburden on tho Takapuna public to accoptthe proposed scale, which was based ontho peak of abnormally high workingcosts.

Mr. A. H. Wilkie objected to the in-troduction of tho findings of the commis-sion into the discussion. "The commis-sion cannot enforce its findings," hesaid; " it is a myth and a shadow, andis absolutely useless."

Thij Mayor said tho commission wassupplied with more evidence than was<placed at the disposal of the council, andits finding served as a valuable guido." If tho company cannot give transit atreasonable rates the sooner the publictakes steps to open up some other routethe better," declared Mr. Gould, amid

voices of approval. "There aro at leasttwo other routes that could be openedup."

The motion was seconded by Mr. F. W.Suckling.

| An Amendment Rejected.Mr. Wilkie said that the company had

promised to reduce charges if working ex-penses were decreased. He thought thecouncil must agree that to ask a com-pany to run at a loss wasra very unfairattitude to adopt. He moved as anamendment, "That the company be ap-proached to submit a further reduction inthe scale of charges submitted by it, andthat a poll of the ratepayers be takon onthe company's final offer."

Mr. A. W. Clark seconded, pro forma.The amendment was lost, only the

mover voting for it.The meeting was then adjourned until

this ovening.

TOMATO PRICES LOWER.

DUE TO OVER.SUPPLY.

RECOVERY EXPECTED.Tomatoes showed a decided fall irf

price- yesterday in comparison with therates ruling at tho sale* last Friday.During tho last tiro weeks tomatoes haveshown an upward tendency, first gradeat recent sales being in demand at 4sto 7s a case, with as much as 9s forextra choice. Yesterday large suppliescamo to hand, forcing prices down. Pricesfor first grade ranged from 2s 6d to 4s,choice quality selling up to 5s 6d. Dealensexpress tho opinion that the glut of J.hoseason has now keen reached, and witha falling off in consumption, prices havonaturally receded, Many growers havecontracts with tho large sauce factories,and when prices (it tho city markets arelow they take th<> opportunity of fillingtheir contracts. The good prices ob-tained during the last two weeks havedrawn to the public markets consider-able quantities frcm these growors, withthe result that this has assisted to over-supply the market. It is considered thatprices will tend to improve rather thango back in the immediato future.

RATS AND PLAGUE.

CITIZENS URGED TO ACT.Mankind has been groping about for

many centuries to find the truth aboutthe part played by the rat in spreadingplague. It has been left to modern scienceto provo definitely that there can be noepidemic of plague unless preceded byrats (writes the Health Department). Wohave tho plague at our very doors. Wohavo the rats, toe. By nothing but amiracle can we hope to avoid a visitationof the dreaded disease. Tho onlv hope oflessening its spread is to wipe out tho ratsthat will carry it. It is not the specialprivilege of any public body or paidofficials to carry on the war against rats;every citizen is bound by the calls of emer-gency to do something real.

BROWN ROT IN FRUIT.

THE DISEASE SPREADING

MANY TREES AFFECTED.

EFFECT OF HUMID WEATHERTho stone fruit disease popularly

known as brown rot, which made itsappearance in some Auckland orchards afew weeks ago, has been ravaging certainfruit trees in some districts during thelast few days. Tho dry weather that pre-vailed up till recently to a considerableextent checked the spread of the disease,but the very humid conditions experiencedwithin the last few days has caused it tospread rapidly, A great deal of the fruitsent in to the city has been found to beseverely affected with rot, and as a resultfruitgrowers whose orchards have notescaped this disease, will suffer consider-able loss.

The representative of a prominent cityfruit auctioneering firm stated yesterdaythat a good deal of the stone fruit com-ing in was badly affected, and—holdingup some nectarines which he selected atrandom from a case—he indicated therapidity, with which the disease spread.Fully half the specimens of this fruithandled by this authority was brown incolour, and in a decayed condition,and several samples, in addition tobeing decayed were covered in partswith a substance similar to mildew. Theattack upon fruit this season, he said,was very severe, but he could not sayif it was any worse than last season. Ithad been stated that an orchardist whosent some cases of stone fruit to Tau-marunui had received complaints that itscondition was very bad wnen it reachedits destination. The remarkable fact,however, it was stated, was that thefruit appeared quite sound and free fromdisease of any kind when packed andthere was nothing to indicate that it had

been attacked prior to being picked.From other sources it was ascertained

that where the fruit on a tree was heavyand clustered the danger from infectionwas increased, as Was the growth of thodisease.

Speaking of the precautions to preventthe trouble spreading, Mr. J. W. Collard,of the horticultural division of the De.partment of Agriculture, urged that itwas important that all infected fruitshould be removed from the trees anddecayed fruit lying on the ground alsoremoved. If this were neglected, he said,orchardists could not hope to preventbrown rot spreading. Bordeaux mix-ture spray, while it did not kill thedisease outright, assisted to a certain ex-tent in checking it,

MILLIONS FROM MUD.

TOUR OF THE HAURAKI.

CONQUERING THE SWAMP.No. 11/

" No," says the old-timer as vro con-tinued our journey through the HaurakiPlains drainage area, " we wouldn't getmany ducks to-day if we had guns andlicenses of course. More likely to hit aoow or a hay stack or one of those pigsirming in the paddocks. Not many yearsugo you could get as many brace as youliked back at the old lagoon."

" What lagoon?" he is .asked. "Oh! Imean that lagoon that used to be there.All drained now and in grass paddocks.That little dry channel you saw runningthrough the paddocks used to be aboutfiye chains wide. Boggy place. Mud tothe armpits." But before the day wasout we had travelled far and on a launchhad gone up the winding sluggish PiakoRiver into the country which has not yetbeen affected by the drainage operations;through reaches where at full tide thewater level is almost the level of the land,and where in winter the water spreadswide over these acres now providing na-tural feed for the cattle and pigs of theleasehold runs; past marshes where thewide-winged bittern rises in dismay fromher nest in the brake, as the "chug" ofthe launch breaks the silence, where thewild duck finds an almost safe haven, andthe kingfisher flashes downward from thewillow trees.

Townships of the Plains.

1° the P° int on the Wa'tata.ruru Road where we had seen the difficul-ties of making clay roads over the peatoea, wo ( soon found oursolves at Waitaka-ruru, a port at the north-west comer ofthe plains. Waitakaruru's wharf is on atidal creek not far from the seafront. Thetownshit), like every other township of theplains believes that it is destined to bea lively centre as the work of drainageand settlement goes on. Kerepehi, whichstands on the one piece of high ground,eels confident about her future Alreadytiie energetic engineer in charge, Mr. E.Taylor, and his staff, make Kerepehi theirheadquarters and to that township andNgatea, a short distance down the rivera motor mail car, as well as passenger cars'run daily. Paeroa appears to be makingan enterprising effort to become the dis-tributing centre for a large part of theplains.Leaving Waitakaruru we travelled southby tho foothills road for Patetonga, andfrom various points on the route wonderful

™™ °.f fertile valley were obtained.After the dead-level running of the morn-ing the grades of the road, doubtless veryuncomfortable to negotiate in wet weatherand the nearness of the hills were cheer-ing.

The Beginnings of Farms.At one or two points on the run the newholdings of soldier settlers extending outinto the level lands were passed. Atlorehape there is a settlement. Clay wasbeing carted to extend the road which isto cross the swamp to the river UntilNte road is finished, these settlers will bewhnewhat isolated, but, nevertheless, wag-gons come to collect their cream cans-Most of the sections are still in a rawstate, but good pioneering work is beingdone Fern and scrub is disappearing from'the higher slopes, and turnip crops are

appearing, and at one spot the tunelessmusic: of a goose proclaimed the presenceof some hut or tent that was out of sight,Th«t call of the goose was sufficient togiro Win to the imagination. One pic-tured a settled countryside and comfort-1able homes. The road across the swamp ja splendid motor road. A largo school andromping children. Elderly men fighting!jtheir battles over again as they drive along :to catch the Paeroa-Pokeno express at thenearby station. The dream was suddenlybanished by the appearance of a youngman and a young woman riding a pair ofrestive horses of the general utility typeround a bend in the road. The horse ofthe woman decided to back over a fern-covered slope of uncertain grade, but shesat tight and kept him in hand. The manplunged his mount down the slope andcaught the reins of the wayward one, Asoldier; and his bride probably, and thebride seemed new to the life.

Clay Carted Miles.Further on we saw a string of waggonsloading clay at a bank, to bo carted somethree miles for a road in the peat comi-try. Where else would such a costlymethod of roading be worth while? It

is stated that the forming in clay of someof tho roads cost up to £5000 a'mile. Inview of this fact it would appear obviousthat where the clay is within reach of thomechanical appliances which can excavatecanals and deposit the spoil between themto form a clay road, the dredgers wouldreturn high interest upon their capital costin the saving of labour and haulage. TheBame type of dredge could not oe usedeverywhere, however, ow,ing to the differ-ences in th« nature of tjie country. Forinstance, a land caterpillar dredge, or oneof the sort which hauls itself along onskids in a remarkable way, could not Ijoused where the peat is soft, because theywould sink. In such places one of thefloating kind would be required. In con-nection with the digging of the groatcanal from Waitakaruru to Maukoro. ofwhich five miles of the total length of 15miles have already been excavated at thesea end by a Priestman grab dredge, it is'stated that only floating dredges could beTised on the section as far as Ngarua, butthat south of Ngarua to the river, wherethe swamp has been fairly well drained, aland machine could operate.

Memories of the Swamp.Running down the Ngarua Road the

old-timer once more became reminiscent.It appears that in days not very long ago,by ordinary comparisons, he carried a sur-veyor's chain down this particular line.The job was one of wading through threeor four feet of slimy peat all the way,and it took a day to reach the river frpmthe west side. In a car, even on therough clay road, the distance can becovered in half an hour. He also told ofthe finding of peat; at Patetonga 20 feetbelow the surface of hard soil. Evidentlythe peat swamp in former ages was gradu-ally covered near its edges by the soilwashed from the foothills.

On the Kerepehi side of the river, justabove the wharf, two of the new dredgesare now at work on the reclamation ofone of the Awaiti blocks. This area, whichis bounded on 'the north and west by theriver, the south by a canal, and on theeast by the Awaiti' stream is .generally re-garded as one of the finest pieces of landin the area, There is no peat on it, andin summer it is knee-deep in puroa grass,on which the run cattle wax fat. Theworks now started will thoroughly drainthe area and prevent it being flooded inwinter. Its great advantage is that it willpermit the settlers who secure sections onit to milk cows within a few months. Au-thorities say that as soon as it is drainedand safo from floods, English grasses canbe sown after a mere harrowing..

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH.

NEED FOR CO-OPERATION.

NEW ZEALAND INSTITUTE.

FINANCIAL LIMITATIONS.[SX TELEGRAPH.—PEESS ASSOCIATION.]

WELLINGTON. Tuosday.At the annual meeting of the New

Zealand Institute, in the conrso of hisprecedential address, Professor EastcrfieldrftieiTed to the need for more co-operationamong New Zealand scientific men in theinterests of scientific research. He trustedthe institute would be able to co-operatewith tho American National ResearchCouncil upon certain problems of thePacific Ocean.

It was difficult to see how great pro-gress in the matter of organisation forresearch could be made without financial

he continued. It could certainlyappear that the time had come for somecomplete chunge of policy in New Zea-land, owing to the changed finaticul situ-ation. Nobody could be more appreciativethan the speaker was of the value oi thec ntributiuns to science made by those\w>o were bearing; the whole cost of animestigatiou at their own expense, but horecognised that the number of thoso whowere in a position to do work in thatmanner was limited. la the case of veryrniiiy sciences the apparatus aud materialrequired were of such an expensive naturethat only the wealthy amateur couldequip a "laboratory in which such workcoqja be conveniently carried out. Thework however, must bo done.

The institute would be lacking in itssense ci dutv to the country if it did notexercise great efforts in order that thisddicultv'might be dealt with. It wasworth while asking the various societiesaffiliated for suggestions as to how bestto foster the research spirit, and to givea greater amount of attention to inyesti-srsuon in pure and applied sciencethroughout the Dominion.

The research grunt "hich last year theCabinet had raised from £250 to £2000had this vear beer; lowered to £400. It•s-as doubtful whether new grants wouldhe made this yeac. It must be admittedth- i tiev had "not yet educated the publicoi New 'Zealand on the point of recognis-ing that national progress was dependentin

=

a very great measure upon technicalresearch.

A letter was received from the Inter-national Research Council suggesting thatthe institute should affiliate wifh thatbodv, and proposing that financial assist-ance should be given in support of par-ticular classes of work

Professor Easterfield: We shall wantall the monev we can rake up for OUTown work We are in a very bad wayfinancially.

It was decided to take no action in thematter.

The financial statement showed thatthe institute possessed a debit balance of£678 4s 2d, the finances being £720worse oft than this time last year. Thiswas almost entirely dne to the greatlyincreased cost, of "the annual volume ofthe transactions. *

Mr. Eliot t (Palmers ton North) statedt>3t the institute owed the Governmentprinter £1740. including £1285 due forthe printing of volume 53. The cost ofprinting volume 52 was £970.

Dr. Til|yard said that increased theamount bv nearly 50 per cent. If con-ditions did not improve they would bebankrupt.

Other speakers said there was no occa-sion to become alarmed.

An endeavour will be made to rednceexpenditure, pay liabilities, and put theinstitute in a satisfactory financial posi-tion.

CONDITIONS IMPROVING.

BUSINESS UN ENGLAND.

DRAG OP UNIONISM.

PREVENTING EMPLOYMENT.Conditions in England are righting

thomselves, according to Mr. E. A.Dargaville, of Remnera, who has just re-turned to New Zealand after a tour ofEngland and portions of the Continent,extending over 12 months. Mr. Darga-ville, who was accompanied by Mrs.Dargaville, visited the east and westcoasts of England, the Isle of Wight, theSouth of Franco, Switzerland, and Italy.Ho stated yesterday that a much moreoptimistic feeling existed in England, andhe thought this due to steadily improvingconditions.

.Mr. Dargaville said that from his ob-servations he gathered that the labourunions were the curse of England, as theywere largely instrumental in preventingmanufacturers carrying on their operationson a scalo sufficiently large to have anyappreciable effect on the unemploymentquestion. Many men, he said, were pro-pared to accept work at a reduced wage,but the unions were setting their facesagainst this. At a lower rate of wagemany large concerns could carry on andproduce their wares at a certain, if small,profit, whereas at the wages demandedby tho unions, they could produce only ata loss, with tho result that thousands ofhands who would otherwise find employ-ment were now out of work.A decided fall in retail prices, espec-ially in the better class shops in the WestEnd ot London, was noted by Mr. Dar-gaville, who said that tho "shopkeeperswere writing down their stocks and werefrankly endeavouring to get ready cashfor their goods. He mentioned that ifa prospective customer, on having a pricefor an article quoted, made an offer ata price reasonably below the stated figurethe chances were that the retailer wouldcome to terms, a distinct departure fromearlier methods when the fashionableshops never offended their clients by sug-gesting that prices could possibly haveanything to do with a purchase. Only afew months ago tho West End shopswere unusually emptv, but now thogeneral public was buying more freelyand retail trado was noticeably improv-ing.

RETRENCHMENT.

(Published by Arrangement.)

STRIKING "WASTE" FIGURES.There is urgent nead of retrenchment;

we must keep money circulating in NewZealand for useful and necessary pur-poses. Every penny sent abroad onwasteful expenditure, is against theDominion's interests.' Take wines andspirits, for example. For the elevenmontis ended November, 1921, the valueof imports was £835,268, and money hadto be sent away to pay for that. Thetotal is over three times more than thevalue of barbed and plain fencing wireimported during that time; it w overthree-and-a-half times more than thevalue of all the agricultural machineryimported, and over five timeii more thanthe value of all the dairying machineryimported during that time. In payingfor wire and machinery we are payingfor things needful to aid in Dominiondevelopment. In paying for mtoxi-catine drink we are paying for somethingthat is not necessary, that does harm,and involves expense to the community.

■ Compared with useful expenditure athome, the money exported to pay forintoxicants during the above period is

over one-and-a-half times more than wasappropriated for roads and bridges inthe financial year 1920-1921. And it *

nearly as much as was spent by theGovernment in eight months on the wholeof the following important developmentworks.—Public Works, railways, light-houses and harbours, roads, bridges,development of mining, telegraph extern-sion, defence, lands improvement and ir-rigation, and water supply. The toUfor eight months, according to officialfigures was, for all these, £868,255, andthe total sent out of the country for in-

toxicants for the eleven months,£835,268. .. ,

The estimated expenditure on beer was

in 1920 over £3.760,000—the total .es-timated drink bill for that year beingover £7,500.000. Is it worth while con-tinuing this traffic that injures thous-ands of lives and is such a financialdrain, when we need all the money wecan find for the development of the Do-minion and things that contribute to therational enjoyment] bf 1iIb?-W.Z.

THEFT AND FORGERY.

YOUNG BANK CLERK'S LAPSE.

COMMITTED FOR SENTENCE.

TWO CHEQUE TRANSACTIONSA yonng bank clerk's dishonesty was

revealed in the Police Court yesterdaybefore Mr. J. W. Poynton, S.M., whena youth aged 18} formerly a clerk inthe National Bank of New Zealand, wascharged with having stolen a chcquo for£89 45s and having forged a cheque for£250. Accused, represented by Mr. Bell,pleaded guilty to both charges and wascommitted to the Supreme Court for sen-tence. On account of his youth themagistrate ordered that his name shouldnot be published.

The facts in connection with the firstcharge, as disclosed by the evidence andby accused's statement to Detective Fitz-gibbon, were that while sorting chequesm the bank he found one for £89 15swhich had not been cancolled. He putit in his pocket and next day openedan account at the Wellesley §treet PostOffice Savings Bank in the name of FrankRyan, depositing £89 15s. About threedays later he withdrew £89 14a at the,chief post office and burned the depositbook. In his statement accused said noone else in the bank was implicated. Hehad placed £20 in tho Symonds Streetbranch, of the Auckland Savings Bank inthe name of Lewis as he already had anaccount there; ho sent £25 to the Pro-testant Orphanage Fund; about £19 toAmerica for wireless apparatus; and £5for a musical instrument.

The evidence of a clerk in the NationalBank showed that the cheque had beencashed aud debited to tho drawer's ac-count twico. When it was first receivedit was sent upstairs to be cancelled, butthis had not been done. The bank wasresponsible for the second payment.

The second charge was that accusedcommitted forgery by drawing a chequefor £250 in favour of F. Hirst andsigned Wah Lee.

John A. West, clerk in the NationalBank, said the cheque had been receivedthrough the exchanges having been de-posited to an account at the Chief 'PostOffice Savings Bank. It had been re-turned "sipature unlike." Payment hadnot been made.

Detective Knight produced a statementby accused admitting the offence. In ithe said that in December he took homoan envelope containing a cheque-bookHo filled in a cheque for £250 in favourof F. Hirst in the signature of Wah Lee.whose signature he knew. He opened anaccount at the savings bank vsjth it in

the name of F. Hirst, engineer. Heburned the cheque book. He knew thenthat he had done wrong and would be introuble. He had not received any money.He expressed himself as very sorry forwhat he had done.

Accused pleaded guilty to both chargesand was committed for sentence, bailbeing allowed.

NOTES BY PHAETON.

TAKAPUNA IN SUMMER.The popularity of Tnkapuna Jockey Club

meetings has boon so pointedly establishedon many occasions that were a fulling-offin that respect to bo noted euch wouldform the subject of surprise. The openingof this yoar'a summer meeting at tho NorthShoro was originally fixed for Saturdaylast, but a heavy downpour necessitated apostponement to Monday. This being Auck-land's Annivorsary Day and a public holi-day, Dovonport was once again stronglyinvaded by race-goers, aud the numberpresent at tho T.J.C. grouud was clearlya record for a North Shore race meeting.The whole of the vantago points were taxedto their utmost capacity, and the eight ofthe hill and terraces during the day fur-nished a picture to be kept well in memory.The extension of the terraces near to thewestward boundary of tho club's propertyis a task that tho T.J.C. committeo hasalready niapDed out for early attention, andthe completion of the same will certainlyserve to further greatly popularise the NorthShore ground.

DANGERS OF RACE-RIDING.No one conversant with racing requires to

be told that a certain amount of danger isinvolved in all horse-racing contests, and,judging from reports from various quarters,the same is being considerably added to byovor-oaßerness to* win. No doubt a fairmount of what is regarded as rough ridingis due to inexperience, and occurrences attimes may be quito accidental by reason ofriders in the Bhort stirrups being unable tocontrol their mounts so completely as wasthe case under the old system. Howevermuch a return to the old order of longerptirrupe and nrmer seat may be wished for,there seems to be vary little hope of achango in that direction. Mid, with that beforeus. thoso in authority will»havo to exercisethe greatest circumspection in regard to thosewho engage in riding, and to make it quitecortain that apprentices especially are capableof controlling a horse ptoperly before theyare allowed to take a place in a large field.

In the course of a leading article recently

the following appeared in the Australasian.—" Saioty first" is a slogan familiar to everyman and woman in Sydnoy. It is to boseen displayed in railway yards and atstations, on dangerous points along the tram-way routes, in tho city streets, and else-where It would not be amisa il " safetyfirst" were posted conspicuously in thejockeys' rooms on Melbourne racecourses.There is. unfortunately, good ground forthe contention that riding in races.on Mel-bourne racecourses has for some time pasibeen made unnecessarily dangerous by thetactics ol sonao ot the jockeys and appren-tices-

LEAVES FROM MY NOTEBOOK.Those who follow turf pursuits will have

plenty to ongage their attention during thopresent month, tho followinz clubs beinglisted to hold meetings:—Takapuna JockeyClub, Franklin Racing Club, Egmont KacingClub. Canterbury Jockey Club, DuncdinJockey Club, Taranaki Jockey Club, PovertyBay Turf Club, Poverty Bay Trotting Club,Otahuhu Trotting Club, Opotiki Racmj Cub,To Kuiti Racing Club, Hamilton Kacing Club,Wooclvillo District Jockey Club, lolaga dayJockey Club. Clifden Kacing Club, Wanga-nui Jockey Club, Giaborne Kacing Club, andThames Jockey Club.

Instances are becoming pointedly frequentthat large prize-money for important eventsdoes not meet with tho proper encouragementwhen such are run over distances from 12furlongs upwards, and tho acceptance of fourfor tho Egmont Cup, which carries a stakeof £1200, is to bo viewed as oxtrcmely dis-appointing. No doubt the Dominion has tocarry a largo amount of racing, but, evenallowing for this, it has to bo recognisedthat New Zealand is in these days more

noted as a birthplaco of sprinters than ptstayers. There is undoubtedly a great fieldfor profound thought on this question.

Tinohoro endeavoured to win the TakapunaCup from end to end, and his chance ofsuccess looked bright when heads were ina line for home. The final stage, however,saw him swerve badly from the whip whenhe was required to combat Landslide's chal-lenge inside the distance, and as ho inter-fered so palpably with the son of Kenil-worth it came quite as a relief whenthe numbers went up and Landslide wasdeclared the winner. The judge's .-leoimonwas only a neck in favour of Landslide;but-had Tinohoro kept his ground properlytho Australian gelding would certainly havobeaten his Waikato rival by a wider margin.

Sydney papers to hand bring details ofthe victory registered by the Auckland-bredgelding Quiniro at Randwick recently."Pilot." of the Referee, writes:—"The NewZealandor Quiniro. who closed nearly as gooda favourite for the Hurdle Race as TimberPrince and King Arthur, won all the way.At his previous effort in public he jumpedindifferently, but this time ho took most ofthe hurdles smartly, and ho showed morepace than his opponents. Rimu was thoonly horse able to keep at all near himfcr the first mile, and commenciu? tho lasthalf of the trip ho was two lengths ofi, withTimber Princo 10 lengths further away.From the turn a win for Quiniro was onlya matter of a stand up. Timber Prince wassecond into the straight., but never had achance of overhauling Quiniro."

I The two fine races for which BoomcrdayI was responsible at the A.R.C. Summer

Meeting had the effect of bringing the QuinAbbey gelding into marked prominence forthe Takapuna Cup, when backers came tospeculate on the North Shoro event on Mon-day lost. Boomorday, however, only reallyflattered the hopes of hTs admirers for halfthe journey when he fell away, and ho camehomo well beaten in fifth place.

That Thraco is very far. from being aback number, he gave pointed proof atTakapuna on Monday last, when he wontho Orewa Hurdle Race under 11.5. Tho racewas run at a solid pace, and Thraco comingan the scene with a fine run in the .con-cluding stage he won his raco attractivelyfrom Rathlin, to whom he was conceding171b

Copestako had to-keep vigorously at work on the Australian'bred gelding for over a mile, and the riderrichly deserved the applause that came tohim whon he brought Thrace back to theenclosure.

In order to secure the services of AshleyReed for Landslide in the Takapuna Cup,Mr. Ernest Alison elected to take the riskof a declaration of 41b. overweight- Reedhandled Landslide artistically, and he .gothim home first in a finish that requiredboth vigour and judgment.

Pento counted sufficient admirers to sendher out favourite for the Zcalandia Hanoi,cap at Takapuna on Monday, but she-failed to gain a situation. The daughter ofDemosthenes appeared to bo ft bit on therobust side, and the race at the JNortnShore may be expected to work an improve-ment in her condition. ,

Stirrup Cup won the Hauraki Hurdle Racein satisfactory style. The Rokeby geldingjumped all his fencosproficiently, and thoughhe is callod upon to carry 141b. additionalin the Takapuna Hurdle Race to-day he is

sure of o good following.Radiant Light figures in tho Takapuna

Jockoy Club Handicap, and the Anniversary

Welter Handicap at the North Shore .to-day.Marqueteur won the Egmont Cup las. year

under 8.3, and he has an impost only libin excess of that named for to-day'u raceat Hawera.

If Stork is equal to reproducing his bestform he should be able to play a. part, in

the settlement of the Egmont Cup, in whichhe has the handy woight of 7.6.

Silver Link figures in two races at Eg-mont to-day. The daughter .of Achilles is

engaged in the Flying Handicap with 9.13,and ia tlia Egmont Stakes with. IL2,

Golden Bubble waa produced at the Tak*-puna Meeting on Monday to contest theSteward*' Handicap, and the manner inwhich he disposed of tho opposition under8.10 showed that he wie pretty well at th6top of his form. The sting being out of theground was ino doubt an advantage toGolden Bubble. The big chestnut, fignrssin tho Suburban Handicap to-day. with 9.13.and though that represents a nse of 171bcompared with the impost he carried tovictory in Monday's race it haß to be bornein mind that the distance to be travelledin the Suburban Handicap is a furlong lessthan that which was attached to theStewards' Handicap.

Gold Kip looked to be well served on thescore of condition when he contested theZoalandia Handicap at the North Shore onMonday last, but ho did not succeed in se-curing a place in tho seven furlong race.Tho St. Amans gelding figures in the Taka-puna Jockey Club Handicap to-day, with8.8, and the victory achieved under 9.13in tho Members' Momorial Handicap (11miles) at Claudelands last October, and thesuccess he subsequently registered in theSt. Andrew's Handicap (nine furlongs), un-der 8.8., should prevent his being regardedotherwise than with respect for to-day'srace.

The " good thins" of the afternoon attho Talapuna Meeting on Monday wasMoroso. in the Calliope Handicap. TheWellington-owned filly, who figured topweight, with 9.0, never roa.'.ly gave heropponents a chance, and she literallyromped over the opposition, itforose figuresin the Hobspn Handicap to-day with 9.13,and she will have to travel an extra furlongcompared with her Monday's effort.

The totali&ator investments at the Taka-puna Jockey Club's Summer Meeting lastyoar amounted to £144,644. The sum of£69,595 10s was invested on the machine atthe North Shore on Monday, and it willtherefore require £75,248 10s to go on theslate if last year's total is to be reached.A survey of the situation would lead tothe conclusion that last year's record at thoNorth Shore is likely to remain, _ with aconsiderable advantage, so far as thJB year'ssummer gathering is concerned.

The inquiry instituted into the handlingof Radiant Light by R. Reed in theStowards' Handicap at Takapuna on Mon-day last was resumed yesterday by theJudicial Committee of the Takapuna JockeyClub, when the trainer, G. Jones was ex-amined. A further adjournment of the casowas decided upon till this morning, in orderto enable tho owner, Mr. W. G, Stead, tobe present.

In the decision of the Takapuna Cup,Geoffrey ran a decent mile and a-half, fin-ishing in third place. The Sybarite geldingis ongagod in tho Takapuna Jockey. ClubHandicnp to-day with 7.0, and providing hestood his hard raco on Monday in a satis-factory manner, ho should be equal totaking a hand in tho decision of the questionattached to tho 10J furlong raco.

Marblo Slab was making a strong effortto win the Takapuna Cup whon the con-cluding two furlongs canio up, but be failedto get to tho leaders, and he eventuallywound up in fourth place. The MarbleArch gelding is down for an engagementto-day in the Rangitoto Handicap, with 8.2,and maybe ho will succeed in interruptingthe long spoil of ill-luck that has followedhim for such a lengthened period.

Tho Egmont Stakes come up for deoißionto-day, and with the prospects of a meetineevontiiating between Gloaming, Silver Link.Thespian, and Rational, much interest willhe controd in the contest. The race in ques-tion is run over six furlongs,, at weight-for-age, with a scale of penalties and allow-ances, The quartette named above havo allincurred tho maximum 10lb penalty.

What has a right to bo regarded as a veryplsasing incident in connection with theracing at the Takapuna Jockey Club's Meet-ing on Monday was tho victory recorded byMessrs. Roulston Bros.' mare Midget in thoFerry Handicap, for the, gold jacket, redsash and cap has been quite out of luck fora considerable period

The nominations received in connectionwith tho Thames Jockey Club's annual racemeeting are so vory satisfactory under allheadings, that a highly successful meetingshould eventuate at Parawai on February25 and 27 in the ovent of weather in keep-ing with the season being experienced. Theweights for tho first day's events will badeclared by Mr. R. Wynyard on February13.

The Rokcby gelding Crowhurst. who madea successful debut as a jumper at thoTakapuna Spring Meeting, is being treatedto a well-doserved spell. The chestnut geld-ing may bo found contesting in open com-pany when tho winter meetings roll, round,and as he appears to relish jumping, hemay bo worth keeping in mind when hurdleraces are on the board.

The Australian-bred mare Sylvan lookedvery well when she was sent out to contesttho Takapuna Cup, and though she failedto gain a place, Bhe can, 1 thmk be tickedoff for a win near at hand when the dis-tance is less than 12 furlongs.

Tho leading evont at the Takapuna meet-ing to-day is tho Takapuna Jockey UubHandicap which is to be run over 10J fur-longs, with a field of 12 engaged, thereis material for a highly-interesting contest.

TROTTING.

NOTES BY PICADOR.

The Otahuhu Trotting Club's summer pro-gramme will require- attention from ownerson or bofore Friday neit. on which day, atfive p.m., nominations for all events closewith the secretary, Mr. R. L. Absolum. Inoffering £6700 in prize-money at this year'ssummer gathering the Otahuhu TrottingClub very amply justifies its existence, andthat the forthcoming meeting will attractnominations from many important pointsbeyond the local area is a prediction thatcan be offered with a large degree of con-fidence.

The T&ranaki Futurity Stakes, whichovent figures on th© Waimate Plains Trot-ting Club's programme at the meeting fixedfor April 17. has 13 well-tried three-year,olds engaged. J. Bryce'a stable holds a verystrong hand with Oar Hope and Ratana, thepair that finished first and 6econd respec-tively in the Great Northern Derby atAlexandra Park.

The Ashbnrton Trotting Club olaimg thedistinction of being tho only club, m theDominion with a two-year-old classic eventin its programme, and the New_ ZealandSapling Stakes, which was established . in1919 has now become one of the principal

attractions of the club's winter meeting. Thevalue of the stake for the race of 1923 has

.been raised to £630, and a handsome silvercup is to form a portion of the prize forthe winner.

The committee of the Poverty. Bay Trot-ting C?ub has worked so enthusiastically in

the face of somewhat adverse circumstancesto promote the sport in that district thatit is extremely pleasing to chronicle that ahighly saisfactory list of entries has beenreceived in connection- with the forthcomingmeeting, which is fixed to bo held at Gi3-borno on tho 10th instant- Thero is a goodsprinkling of Auckland-owned horses en-gaged, and everything may be said to beshaping well for a successful meeting.

It is roported from the South that AlbertCling met with a serious injury to one ofhis hips a short whilo back, and it is con-sidered, doubtful if ho will race again forsome time.

ENTERTAINMENTS.

"PEG O' MY HEART."That delightfully entertaining play,

"Peg o' My Heart," was revived by theJ. C. Williamson New English ComedyCompany at His Majesty's Theatre lastevening, when it was welcomed and en-joyed by an audience of considerableproportions, notwithstanding the inclem-ency of the weather. J. Hartley Mainners' story of the Irish girl who findsherself thrust into a household whereartificiality rules and natural instinctsare rigidly suppressed, where coldness re-places warm-hearted affection, and wherethe constant endeavour to "be a lady"wears out'her patience in a month, istoo well known to need recapitulation.In reproducing the piece tho managementaffords an opportunity of again makingthe acquaintance of this impulsive mad-cap of a girl, with her inordinate lovefor the father she is always quoting,her sensitive recoil from unkindness, andher brave fight for happiness. The play,'it will be remembered, is strong incharacter-drawing, and especially smartas to dialogue and repartee. It alsostrikes a very human note. As a con-trast in manners it is quite good, evenif, for the purpose of making lis points,the dramatist nas exaggerated here andthere. Most of the theme is writtenalong comedy lines, with the result thatthe greater part of the evening is spentby the audience in diverting fashion.Miss Isobel Brosnan, as Peg, is seen ina fine characterisation. Her style andtemperament lend themselves to a tellingand forceful realisation of the part, andin the purely Irish phases thereof; withits witticisms and brogue, she is theliving Peg, rough and ready, outspokenand frank to the degree of bluntness,and ardent in her likes and dislikes.Miss Brosnan Mores beavily in this im-personation, and adds to her popularitygreatly. Last evening she received sev-eral curtain calls and was generally ad-mired for her versatile work. Mr.Charles Courtneidge, as the vapid youth,Alaric Chichester, is intensely amusing,his dude taking high rank among char-acterisations of the kind. The scene in

which Alaric proposes to Peg is admirablefooling, and the actor's subtle littletouches, such as his manner of puffing ata cigarette in a lengthy holder, makethe study very excellent comedy. Mr.Anew McMaster is manly and agreeablein the role of Jerry, his earnest workbeing the more convincing on account ofhis reserve. Mr. Gerald K. Souper, asthe lawyer, Hawkes, plays with his usualart. Miss Nellie McCarthy is remark-ably good in tho difficult part of EthelChichester. The remaining roles are intho capable hands of Miss Katie Towers,Messrs. ArthuT Qreenawajy, and FredCambourne. "Peg o' My Heart" will bpstaged again this evening, when the convpany's season ends.

CHRISTCHDRCH. Tuesday.The Heathcote Williams Shield match be-

tween Christchurch Boys' High School andAuckland Grammar School concluded to-day under ideal weather conditions. TheBoys' High School team won the match bya. margin of eight wickets. The battingto-day was in the main slow, but Carletonand Page gave a very bright exhibition.The Grammar School fielded brilliantly, andSeccombe provod himself a bowler of greatability.

BOXING.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.J. Whittome, tlie clever Auckland feather-

weight, made his debut as a professionalboxor at Hastings last Wednesday, whenhe met A. Maddox, of Hawke's Bay, in

a 10-round bout, Muddox was adjudgedthe winner on points, but according to aNapier writer, the margin must have beenvery slight. Mr. E. Donovan, who waain Whittomo's corner, on his return toAuckland, expressed the opinion that Whit-tome should -have received the verdict. lieBaid the Auckland man won at least fiverounds o:i the 10 decisively, and scoredequally with his opponent in two others.Tliero will always be differences of opinionregarding decisions on' pointß in boxingcontests, and boiera soon learn to takethese matters philosophically. It is to beregretted that Whittomo lost his first pro-fessional contest , through what may betermed a questionable decision. He, showedexcellent form as an amateur, and is stead-ily improving. It should not be long beforeho Bcores a creditable win. A return match•with Maddox should prove a good draw.

J. Graham is steadily preparing for hisengagement with L. Murray at Gisborno onFebruary 10, and should take the ring ingood condition. The Auckland boxer hold3tho welter-weight championship of the Do-minion, but it is stated that the title isnot involved in the forthcoming bout.,

J. Tracey. tho New Zealand heavy-weightchampion, is training at the Parnoll gym-nasium with a view to future contests inAmerica. Ho will leave Auckland by theNiagara in about throe weeks' time, and inaddition to meeting W. Brennan, hopes totake part in several other bouts beforereturning to the Dominion.

J. Keenan has resumed trainirg at theParnell gymnasium after a, spell of, severalmonths. He hopes to be in a position toshow his best form before long. Therehas been 6ome talk of matching Keenanand Preston, an Australian light-weightboxer, at present in the Dominion, bnt theAuckland man will not be ready to under-take matches for some weeks.

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF TIE SUN.■»

EXPEDITIONS IN. AUSTRALIA.'Elaborate preparations are being made

by scientific bodies for the observation of"the total eclipse of the sun that willoccur on September 21. The path oftotality will begin its course in EastAfrica, on the Somaliland coast, wherethe sun will rise in total eclipse, and willcross the Indian Ocean, to the north-westcoast of Australia, and end in the PacificOcean, north of New Zealand. A partialeclipse will be visible from New Zealandjust before sunset.

This will be the first total eclipse visiblein Australia -since.its colonisation. Theshadow of the moon will touch the north-west coast of West Australia about noonat Wallal, and will pass off the easterncoast about 2 p.m. at Lismore, in nor-thern New South Wales. The durationof the total phase at Wallal will beabout 5m 15s, and at Gondiwindi insouth-eastern Queensland, about 3m13s. The shadow thrown from inter-position of the moon between the sun andearth will be about 114 miles wide. Butfar north and south the eclipse will be

•seen to varying degrees of partiality, ac-cording to distance on either side of theshadow. Observers from the United 'States and Canada will establish them-selves at Wallal with Western Australianastronomers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WORK AND WAGES.Sir,—l read with great interest Mr.

Beauchamp's remarks re the financial out-look of the Dominion in the Herald ofTuesday. There is one feature to which,however, he failed to draw attention, andthat is to the necessity of tho New Zea-land trades unionist giving an honestday's work for his pay. From bitter ex-perience I can unhesitatingly say that in

the majority of cases he is not doing it.His principal aim 6eems to be to getthrough the day with as little physicalexertion as possible. Until he is pre-pared to give his employer a square deal,whether the job is a wages or contractone or not, he will receive very littlesympathy when hard times arrive. As itis, a good many would-be expanders ofmoney are sitting back, until tKey seethe above-mentioned gentleman is pre-pared to give 20s in tho £ for his, inmany cases, far too gonerous wages.

Anti-Goslow.

MALAY STATES CRIME.Six,—l notice in the Herald of Jan-

uary 31 an account of a shocking mur-der of a New Zealander who was pro-ceeding from Penang to Kedah, and weare given to understand that themurder was committed by Malaynatives. I have had special oppor-tunities of studying Malay habitsand characteristics, and I feel per-fectly certain that Malays were not guiltyof this crime. Whatever Malays mayhave been in the old piratical days, noth-ing could be more foreign to the Malaynative of to-dav than organisation forcrime with violence. Gang robberies,however, by a large lawless section ofthe Chinese, are getting painfully com-mon all over the Malay States, and es-capo from capture and punishment ismore the rule than the exception. Gener-ally, Chinese storekeepers have been thevictims and villages have been attackedand robbed in broad daylight. A fewmonths ago the village of Cheuderiang,F.M.S., was attacked in broad day-light by a large gangi and, bykeeping up a steady rifle fire on the policestation, they kept the native police con-fined to their quarters. My son was theonly European resident, his house wasright in the line of fire, and bullets wereconstantly striking the house. The gang,however, refrained from otherwise molest-ing him, and, after collecting a largesum of money from the storekeepers andmurdering two or three of the villagers,thev got clear away. Tho use of the"lajh" has been strongly advocated incases where gang robbers have beencaught red handed. There is nothing theaverage Chinaman dreads so much as a•■flocging," He would much rather facedeath. There is, however, the usual sen-timental objection to infliction of thelash, and so long as punishment of thisoffence is confined to terms of imprison-ment, it seems certain that robbery asa business will be popular, particularlyat a time when there is a lot of unem-ployment among Chinese coolies.

W. Beamish A. Morrison.

ROADING POLICY.Sir,—l have been greatly interested in

the Hesald's articles deploring the non-appearance of the Main Roads Bill. Weare well acquainted 'with the financialreceipts and conditions of the South Is-land railway system. The North Islandis already heavily taxed to make goodtheir loss. Well, the proposed South Is-land main arterial road will run gener-ally close to and parallel with, the trunkrailway. Oat away their railway revenueand where are they; and where are «e?

By building' the South Island main arter-ial road tie railway would suffer enor-mously. I consider we in the North haveescaped a calamity. Before the country iscommitted to such a heavy expenditure,a careful survey should be made of thepublic expenditure in eTery county inNew Zealand, showing the money spentout of loan by the local body, the amountof subsidy granted by the Government,the amount of money spent by the Gov-ernment unconditionally, the milf&ge ofrailways, metalled dray roads, and formedroads, and the amount of Crown an'native lands still to be roaded and setied, with the estimated unimprorxJvalue, and the estimated produe ngrake. When this information is forth-coming and tabulated, and check? i byeach county council as well as } y de-partmental officers, then formrjate asound financial scheme. Go to the SouthIsland members, and 6ay, gentlemen,the total expenditure on transport andother public works amounts to A, the re-venue required to meet interest and sink-ing fund amounts to B, your revenuefalls short of requirement* by 0. If webuild you this main road_ the interestand maintenance charges will amount toD, Silt your railway revenue will fall 50per cent. Your tyre duty will only yieldE. You are etill short and yoc mustmake up the difference or go without theroad. Some of us settlers came into theNorth and settled in the backblocks 30years ago. We were promised access tothe port, but after 30 years we have nota formed, cuhrerted and bridged road.We have rated ourselves, and raised aloan to metal the road, but cannot get apromise of reasonable subsidy in spit* ofthe fact that one-third of what (shouldbe ratable land is owned by natU'ee, andone-third owned by the Crown. The de-partment informs ua fftat it would not beright to commit the country to this ex-penditure. At the same time the depart-ment was prepared to commit the coun-

ato an expenditure of up to say,000,000 for the South Island alone, to

further deplete the revenue of their mainlines. The main road is wanted, but de-velopment roads are wanted also, and itis development roads that will pit thecountry into a sound enough financialstate to afford a main road. Even if theGovernment took over the main roiids to-morrow, the local bodies would needfinancial backing to construct develop-ment roads. The main road would onlyopen up a limited amount of country toextra production. Millions of moneywould be spent through country jJreadyserved with roads and railways, nc/t add-ing one ton to the exports of the coun-try. France and America are totallydifferent to New Zealand. They aremanufacturing countries, well established,we are a new food-producing country.We require first the main trunk railwaysfinished, and feeder roads to the rail-ways. Every farmer should have ametalled road to his farm from the rail-way, and ihe State should guarantee thecounty finances 'by means of cheap loansto enable this to be done. This wouldautomatically link up roads which wouldultimately become main arterial roads.The proposed Main Roads Bill was un-just to the North Island, in so far as itwould make the burden of unproductiveSouth Island expenditure too great tocarry. I would suggest a conference oflocal bodies be called to dißcuss the mat-ter, and appoint a committee of count-clerks and county engineer* to draft -

Bill This draft Bill should be submittedto the Counties Association solicitortfhen finally settled, to be again sub-mitted to the Counties Association, evenif a special meeting were necessary,and their final deliberations submitted tothe Minister. I would add to the finalmeeting the Farmers' Union executive. Iquite agree that the matter is urgent andshould be settled. The present slumpshould demonstrate conclusively that thefarmer is the man in a food-producing'country who directly and indirectly mustfoot the bill, and consequently shouldhave a say in the matter in proportion tothe wealth he products.
