Nine men were taken into custody in the hotel raid.Police said they were playing at tables where dice games, a \u201cbird cage\u201d and other gaming paraphernalia had been provided for guests.Ten women and six men were alleged to have been playing poker in the penthouse, atop a sixteen-storey building when police raiders dropped in, seized cards and chips, and arrested the group.Mrs.Fannie Brooks, aged thirty-nine, was held on a gambling charge.The others were booked for disorderly conduct.Miss Mildred Lovejoy, 34, and Mrs.Adelaide Neuwirth, 35, held in the bridge club raid, have participated in many bridge tournaments.HAD SUSPICION BLAZE SET IN BALDWIN MILL propriate introduction to the expect- [ ed announcement that the Govern-' ment is unable to afford any substantial tax relief to the people, but this will be followed by the intimation that, as the policy of the new administration is to improve the position of the people by reviving domestic business, and as the best way to restore domestic activity is to widen the avenues of external trade, considerable reductions in the tariff are proposed.A large numlfcer of tariff changes are expected, many of them aimed at giving to Canadian industry cheaper implements of production.In the past few weeks hundreds of requests for such reductions have been received by the Government, and as the granting of such demands would neatly fit into the tariff policy of the King Ministry, it is expected that a considerable number of them will find their way into the Budget to be submitted on Friday.Because of the probability of a revision this coming fall of the conference agreement between Canada and the United Kingdom, it is unlikely much will be done to meet recent applications of British manufacturers, including the.cotton textile operators who appeared before the Tariff Board near the end of last year.There is a disposition to reserve the action on their application until the whole matter of the agreement is up for consideration.The $300,000 item last night was in the special supplementary estimates and is to assist in re-establishing needy fishermen.Fisheries Minister Michaud explained it would be expended in co-operation with the provinces to find other callings for men who had once made a living from fishing and, owing to changed conditions, were no longer able to do so.Objections were promptly registered from both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.The strongest objection came from Robert Finn, Halifax Liberal.At first Mr.Finn was under the impression the vote would be used to assist fishermen who still pursued their calling.He claimed it was inadequate.When he learned it was for a different purpose he appealed for a real measure of assistance for fishermen and pointed to the assistance given western grain growers in the way of a Wheat Board, fixed price, drought relief and rehabilitation as precedents.The Fisheries Department, was under fire from the British Columbia members.On the re-establishment vote A.W.Neill, Independent, Gomox-Alberni, claimed the Department was slow in answering letters TROPICAL RAINS DEUY1NG ITALIAN ADVANCE ALONG SOUTHERN FRONT Temporary Halt Called in Activities of Troops in Southern Ethiopia as Two-Day Rain Turns Field of Operations About Sasa Baneh into a Sea of Mud\u2014In Meantime Northern Armies Are Continuing Advance Towards Ethiopian Capital, which They Expect to Occupy within Two or Three Days.R ome, April 29.\u2014Tropical East African rains bogged down the Italian offensive against Sasa Baneh today, causing the southern troops to call a temporary halt while the motorized northern forces rumbled on toward Addis Ababa.A steady two-day rain turned the field of operations about Sasa Baneh into a sea of mud, and the three southern columns, worn down by their drive against the stout Ethiopian defences, were ordered to rest at positions already occupied.Rain also fell in Rome, but it failed to dampen the spirit of the country, expecting the call to an \"Adunata,\u201d or national mobilization, any day now in celebration of the anticipated entry of the northern Fascist forces into Ethiopia\u2019s capital.Marshal Badoglio\u2019s main column of 15,000 Italian white soldiers, riding in trucks down the Imperial Highway from Dessye to Addis Ababa, was climbing the central plateau directly toward Emperor Haile Selassie\u2019s capital.The last communique from the commander-in-chief reported yesterday that this spearhead of his attack had driven in 140 kilometers (about ninety-two miles) from Dessye or two-thirds of the.way to Addis Abaft u.( Native Eritrean Askari, advane-1 ing on foot, apparently were still farther ahead, and Italian military experts expected the occupation of Addis

sources said, would be elimination of the army of Ras Nasibu.standing in the way of the southern Italian forces before Harar, second city of Ethiopia.An order to resume the march on Sasa Baneh was

and to say that the British Columbia member\u2019s charges were not supported by facts.Mr.Neill, Hon.Peter Veniot, Liberal for Gloucester, and Olaf Hanson, Liberal for Skeena, urged amendments to the Act of last session which provides for loans to fishermen.They suggested that, the limit of $1,000 ou loans he raised and that loans nn the security of boats and gear, properly insured, be permitted instead of merely loans on real estate.Agriculture Minister Gardiner was more fortunate than Mr.Michaud in getting his estimates approved.Wilh a little amicable discussion the House approved of the appropriations for water development and conservation works in Western Canada.The Beauharnois project, subject of bitter debate in the House a few years ago, made a momentary return to the centre, of

jurist.\u201c1 have no rUit to speak either on behalf of the Church, or on behalf of France, but I can say that the Church, as a body, ignores such a movement and that France has shown too much sympathy to tjie present leaders of the province, or.whom it.has lavishly bestowed honors, to take part in anything that might be adverse to them,\u201d Mr.Justice Surveyer said.\u201cIn any event let me say this, that the closer Ontario remains to Quebec, the less chance such.a separatist movement will have of gaining ground in our province,\u201d he added.Captain Roup Du Roure, head of the French Department of McGill University, said the prosperity and very existence of Canada depended upon the union of Ontario and Quebec.\u201cIn responding to the toast to Ontario,\u201d said Lieutenant-Governor Herbert A.Bruce, \u201cI voice not only the undying gratitude of the citizens of this province to Samuel De Champlain, but to all those Freivch-Canadians of whom he was the

at Kenneth Brown\u2019s Trial for Murder of Aged Former Member of Parliament for Stan-stead.ROCK ISLAND WAS SCENE OF ROTARY DINNER A mysterious fire that destroyed the planing mill of Willis Keith Baldwin about a week before he was brutally slain in his general store at Baldwin\u2019s Mills in April, 1935, had aroused thq, suspicions of his son, the latter testified in Court of King\u2019s Bench this morning at the trial of Kenneth Brown, of Milton, Vt., for the murder of the elderly ex-Member of Parliament for Stan-stead.Harold Baldwin, son of the murdered man, said that on April 10th, 1935, a blaze of undetermined origin levelled his father\u2019s mill.He immediately suspected that the fire had been set.His suspicions, he declared today, were stronger after the murder of his father.Baldwin, a forty-seven year old farmer who is now carrying on his late father\u2019s extensive business activities at Baldwin\u2019s Mills, was the first and only witness to testify this morning when the taking of evidence was inaugurated at Brqjvn\u2019s trial.The accused appeared tired this morning and the frequent smiles which he had for his attorneys yesterday afternoon were absent.He followed the proceedings with keen attention.A spectator at the trial this morning: was Brown\u2019s sister.Mrs.Dorothy Hance, of Colchester, Vt.She bears a striking resemblance to her accused brother.Shortly before the trial re-opened this morning, she entered the Court room and sat at one of the lawyer\u2019s desks only a few feet from the accused.The selection of the mixed jury-required all yesterday afternoon and part of this morning.Wilfrid Lazure, K.C., and Ashton Tobin are representing the Crown, while Albert Fregeau, of Rock Island, and Antonio Drolet are acting for the defence.The four remaining jurymen were selected this morning.They were Joseph Guerette, of St.Gerard; Everald Goodin, of Bury Township; Alfred Gilman, of Coaticook, and F.C.Churchill, of Sherbrooke.Mr.Lazure outlined to the mixed jury the main points the Crown intends to prove.The prosecution, he said, would bring forward witnesses to tell of an alleged plot that existed between the

Lyndonville Clubs Were Guests.Rock Island, April 29.\u2014A spirit of genuine international understanding and true fellowship permeated the hospitable atmosphere of the dining room of the Del Monty Hotel last evening, when a large number of Canadian Rotarians from Rock Island and Sherbrooke were hosts at a decidedly successful intercity meet to their fellowr-clubmen from the Vermont clubs of Newport, St.Johnsbury and Lyndonville.The meeting was truly characteristic of the Rotary spirit of international goodwill and showed what a splendid work is being done by this world-wide organization to foster a better understanding among nations and to bring people of different races and creeds into a closer bond of unity and understanding.A meeting such as the one held here last evening cannot but bring forth the desired results.The gathering of Rotarians from the two countries bespeaks the friendly feeling and mutual understanding existing between the two great English-speaking nations and is but another outward mark of the respect and esteem which the two nations bear for each other.The dining room presented a most inviting and attractive appearance with its long tables and the flags of the two countries proudly displayed on the walls.To many who sat in the room, took part in the evening\u2019s programme and listened to the,words of the various speakers there no doubt came to mind the words of the Anglo-American anthem: Two empires by the sea.Two peoples strong and free One anthem raise, One race, one faith we claim, One God Whose glorious name We all love and praise For ever more.The happy gathering was presided over by Rotarian \u201cDoug\u201d Ferguson, of Rock Island, president of the Rotary Club of the Boundary, who proposed the toast to His Majesty the King and to the President of the United States and extended greetings to the visiting clubs.One of the highlights of the evening was the presence as guest-speaker of Rotarian W.R.\u201cBilly\u201d Alien, of

29.\u2014The eyes of Lazare Kaplan, diamond-cutter, shone with happy tears as he told how he performed the biggest job of his career\u2014the first cleaving of the Jonker diamond.The 726 carat gem which was the world\u2019s largest and finest uncut diamond is now in three pieces.Later these will be split into twelve, which the owner hopes to see sold in a $2,-OO'OjffO'O necklace.It was Kalpan\u2019s task to tap the uncut jewel with a brass hammer and sever it for the first time\u2014an operation so delicate that even the owner, Harry Winston, would not look on.The diamond fell apart perfectly.\u201cI felt that the whole world watching,\u201d Kaplan said.\u201cBefore I did it, I was so nervous I went away for three days of trout fishing.\u201d The actual cleaving took but a few seconds; but Kaplan had been studying the diamond\u2019s groove and planning the cleft for six months.Winston said the cleaving was uninsured, although the uncut gem was insured for $1,000,000

political circles concerning the possibility of a German \u201cPutsch\u201d in Austria were discussed in the press today with emphasis on the effect of such a move on the League of Nations and on Italy.The Morning Post said: \u201cFollowing reports of a split between Rue-diger von Starhemberg and Chancellor Kurt Schuscbnigg, the situation in Austria again is giving rise to anxiety.\u201cThe possibility of another Nazi coup in the near future is being envisaged in London and Paris.Should this fear be realized, Britain undoubtedly will be called in to assist in maintaining .Austrian independence.Although not on the agenda, the subject is certain to be discussed during the meeting of the League Council next month.\u201d The Manchester Guardian said: \u201cReports about impending German action in Austria persist.There is a tendency here to take them a little more seriously than heretofore.There can be no doubt at all that Germany would be taking a very big risk if she were to interfere in the internal affairs of Austria.At the same time the Austrian situation is altogether unfavorable to such an enterprise.\u201cThe defence of Austrian independence would fall mainly on Italy.It is reasonable to suppose that Germany might wish to take advantage of the fact that Italy is at war in Africa and in a state of conflict with the League of Nations, tier-many can hardly rely

1.Eighteen Hungarian Nazi leaders, including Dr.Zoltan Boszonneny, reputed to be national chief of the movement, were arrested.Authorities said they found forty uniforms of generals and colonels of the Hungarian army in Dr.Bos-zormeny\u2019s home.Officials asserted that they were informed the Nazi sympathizers planned to wear these uniforms as pseudo-officers and prepared to take charge of the troop?in the capital.At the sapic time, police said they had received information that a large number of Nazi sympathizers, living in rural districts, had received secret orders to come to Budapest on May 1.Authorities expressed confidence that the alleged conspiracy was completely crushed.REPORTED GOVERNMENT HAS CLOSED FRONTIERS Vienna, April 29.\u2014Havas News Agency said today there were

Danville resident.Gagniere was killed on Sunday evening while walking along the highway when he was struck by a ear driven by young Plourde.At the inquest at which a verdict was returned holding Plourde criminally responsible, police claimed that he was under the influence of liquor at the time of the mishap.Raoul Gagne, attorney for the accused, asked that b?.il be fixed at 81,000, but this

Harry Weiss as having directed the kidnapping of Paul M.Wendel.Weiss, the prosecutor said, charged Parker \u201cfingered\u201d Wendel the day he was abducted, helped in the torture by which Wendel\u2019s \u201cconfession\u201d to the Lindbergh crime sup-poesdly was obtained in a Sheeps-head Bay hideout, and supervised writing five Wendel \u201cconfessions.\u201d \u201cI saw Parker yank the ropes that pulled Wendel up and down like a jackrabbit,\u201d Geoghan said Weiss told him of the torture.Geoghan said Weiss told of Parker, disguised in goggles and a false moustache, pointing out Wendel to his abductors on a midtown Manhattan street.Weiss indicated for participating in the abduction, was arrested yesterday in Youngstown, O., and returned here.Parker, son of the renowned Burlington County, N.J., detective, and Murray Bleefeld, also named in the confession, are under indictment.Both are fugitives.Geoghan said Weiss told him: \u201cBleefeld told me I would attain my ambition to become a policeman by helping him in this case.Bleefeld .said this fellow Parker has a lot of influence in New Jersey and if you go through with this you may be made a G-Man.I asked Parker if Bleefeld was kidding me about being made, a state trooper and he told me that 1 would be made a trooper or crime investigator.\u201d Parker supplied imitation glass-and-metal guns for the kidnappers, handcuffs and police badges, Geoghan quoted Weiss.The detectives who have been seeking Weiss and Murray Bleefeld, a relative of two of the three men in custody for the past week, were led to his hiding place at Youngstown by his wife and her attorney with the aid of an intermediary in Perth Amboy, N.J., Mr.Geoghan said.A Bronx woman, who Weiss said financed bis flight from New York, is being sought for questioning.Assistant District Attorney Francis A.Madden, former Magistrate Joseph Goldstein and Mrs.Weiss, who it was reported feared her bus' band might be slain to silence him if he remained a fugitive, flew to Cleveland on Monday afternoon.From there they drove to Alliance.Ohio, where Mrs.Weiss assured them they would find her husband, unden the name of Charles Davis, at 105 North Mechanic street, a rooming house.Weiss was not there, however, and at his wife\u2019s suggestion, Mr.Madden telephoned to Joseph Gati, of Perth Amboy.Mrs.Weiss said a few words to Gati, according to Mr.Madden, after which the party drove another 60 miles to Youngstown and called at a rooming house at 633 Market street.They asked for Frank Gold, the name under which Mrs.Weiss said her husband was then living, but the landlord said no such person lived there.Mr.Goldstein then said that the man they were seeking ! was estranged from his wife and that she had called to try to effect a

speeches from two score of members.The debate proper closed last night with the Opposition amendment to the motion to adopt the Throne Speech.Premier Taschereau objected the amendment was out of order, and Opposition leader Maurice Duplessis was arguing on the point of order when the House adjourned for the night.Mr.Duplessis will continue his argument today.The amendment, introduced by William Tremblay, Conservative member for Maisonneuve, asked the House to adopt necessary measures to punish those responsible for falsification of the electoral lists in Montreal during the elections of November 25th, and to insure honesty in preparation of the lists in future.Premier Taschereau protested the amendment was out of order because it dealt with matters of which the House had no official knowledge, and of questions now before the courts of law, ________________________________4u The Opposition leader insisted the \u2019xr abuses mentioned in the amendment were a matter of common public knowledge and that no mention was made of contestation proceedings now before the courts.\u201cThe Government hides behind a point of order the moment a vote appears on the horizon,\u201d he taunted the Premier.C.E.Gault, Conservative, Mont-real-St.George, delivered the final speech of the debate, urging slum clearance, highway construction and repairs as a relief project and strict economy in departmental administration.The Quebec Liquor Commission should he thoroughly investigated, Mr.Gault said.Its officers carried out the Act in a high-handed manner, and he was sure profits would be larger under proper administration.Hon.Honore Mercier, Minister of Lands and Forests, denied Opposition charges the Government was \u201cselling natural resources to foreigners.\u201d He cited statistics to prove his point, declaring no leases of forest lands bad been made in recent years except to further small industries.The Minister also denied that tha Government had betrayed French-Canadians in regard to the pulp and paper industry by selling forest resources to foreign companies.French-Canadian companies, it had been found, did not have the financial resources necessary.Paul Gouin, leader of the Action Liberale Nationale group of the Opposition, spoke at the afternoon session yesterday and emphatically rejected Premier Taschereau's invitation for the dissatisfied former Liberals of the Action group to meet the Liberals and discuss \u201creliberalization of the party.At one time the Action Liberals Nationale had considered readjustment of the Liberal party\u2019s policies might suffice to accomplish the group\u2019s aims, he said, but they had decided last year the only course lay in providing the province with a new government, a government guided by a policy of courageously meeting emergencies with 'modern legislation.The Opposition amendment to tha Throne Speech proposed by Mr.Tremblay follows: \u201cThat the following words be added after the motion: \u201cNevertheless, we believe it to be our duty to represent to Your Honor that it is of public notoriety that the compiling and revision of the electoral lists which were used in Montreal at the election of November 25th, 1935, had given rise to thousands of perjuries and the inscription on the lists of thousands of fictitious names; \"That the report of the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery as to the provincial elections of 1935 establishes in an incontestable manner that in the electoral district of St.Lawrence, Montreal, the number of ballots deposited in the ballot boxes in several booths exceeded to a considerable and abnormal degree the number of electors inscribed on the lists at this voting booths; \u201cThat these abuses are intolerable and dangerous, that they are very prejudicial to the rights of the electors, and to the good reputation of the Province of \u2019Quebec, and they should not remain unpunished; \u201cThat we respectfully recommend the immediate adoption of all the measures, administrative legislative or others, which are required# in view to severely punish the guilty; to prevent a repetition of such abuses; to assure the fidelity and impartiality of the electoral lists, as well as that of the election officers, and, finally, to safeguard and protect the rights and prerogatives of the electors, and to prevent the actions of persons commonly known as \u2018telegraphers,\u2019 and in such ways to make absolutely effective and compléta the laws concerning elections.\" RAMSAY MACDONALD AT

that had taken place in family life from the domestic era to the present industrial age.Community facilities for education and health should be used to augment the primary knowledge acquired almost unconsciously in the home by the child, she said.They should not be relied upon to furnish the whole of the child\u2019s education, however.There is a certain point where family influence ends, and then, Miss Held said, the parents or relatives can rely on the community agents in health and educational work to give the child the training they are unable to furnish.Earlier delegates heard Prime Minister Mackenzie King dolivex a speech in which he said: \u201cNo individual, no group, no association, solve the problems with which our country and human lives are now confronted.\u201d The Prime Minister said there must be a co-operative effort and stressed his belief problems of each community were the problems faced in a greater degree by the state and the same services were needed in national affairs as in those of the community.Mr.Mackenzie King spoke at a luncheon tendered delegates by Senator George P.Graham, of Brockville.Lord and Lady Tweedsmuir attended an afternoon session at Government House where Miss Elizabeth Smeliie, chief superintendent, delivered a report showing the Victorian Order Nurses paid 751,350 visits last year to 85,374 patients, a large increase over

Szechwan Province, China, April 29,\u2014A terrible famine sweeping Szechwan and North Honan provinces assumed proportions of a national disaster today, with estimates of the number of natives dead or facing death ranging from 10,000,000 to 30,000,000.Chinese vernacular newspapers reported some hunger-maddened victims were resorting to cannibalism and other starving parents were -eiling their children to gain money for food.Tne appalling conditions were attributed to repeated floods, fol-.owed by unusually dry summers, and to successive disastrous incursions by Chinese Communist soldiers who have swept the country like a plague of locusts in the last two years, devouring all in their path.Soldiers and civilians alike have resorted to violence to obtain food Dir themselves and their starving families.Bands of armed men, numbering trom 1,000 to 5,000, are roving the countryside, terrorizing, plundering, kidnapping and killing.\u201cFamine banditry\u201d is the grim new phrase which has crept into the Chinese dictionary.In some sections of Szechwan Province, in West China proper, once China\u2019s \u201cgreat granary,\u201d more than seventy per cent, of the towns and villages have been destroyed by Chinese Communist soldiers who have themselves been unpaid and starving.While millions of Chinese are facing certain death from etarva-t.on, other miliions are suffering \u201cdeficiency\u201d diseases which missionary doctors say must lead inevitably to their deaths.The famine in Szechwan Province s the first ever to visit this former land of plenty., Three iarge government banks in Szechwan have raised a loan ©f about $180,000,000 to be used foi purchase of need for rice crops, but informed sources said this was only a drop in the bucket.\u201d

action for public development of the 1,000,000 horsepower available in the St.Lawrence River and the remaining 600,000 at Niagara Falls was recommended in the annual report of the State Power Authority, which was before Governor Herbert Lehman of New York today.The report contended renewed efforts had been made during the last year to extend private development of power at the Falls by a subsidiary of the Niagara-Hudson Power Corporation.Both the St.Lawrence and the Niagara rivers, the Authority reported, are involved in renewed United States negotiations with the Canadian Government over the projected St.Lawrence seaway and waterpower treaty.The report confidently predicts conversations would be successfully concluded in time for the beginning of extensive construction work on the broad St.Lawrence in 1937.The report called attention to President Roosevelt\u2019s recent announcement to the seaway and power conference at Detroit that \u201ca new aproach\u201d was being made on the St.Lawrence treaty.It resommend-ed there be no grant for development of further power by the Niagara Falls Power Company, which now is producing 487,000 horsepower.Any increase in the company\u2019s allotment of water, it maintained, would threaten the unified development of Niagara and the St.Lawrence, which it said were inextricably bound up with each other.In opposing further private grants, it cited various declarations of state policy, going back to the assertion of Governor Charles Evans Hughes in 1907 that the undeveloped water power of the State should never be surrendered into j private hands.The Authority, created in 1931 to develop the St.Lawrence power after completion of treaty arrangements between the United States and Canada, proposed the policies embodied in the Power Authority Act be extended to embrace the development of Niagara Falls.It said that within this year it would submit a comprehensive plan for the unified development of the two sources of power.PROSPECTS FOR TAX REDUCTION IN FRIDAY\u2019S BUDGET APPEAR SLIGHT SOCIALISTS TO DOMINATE NEW FRENCH HOUSE Political Observers Believe that Leon Blum, Who Has Never Participated in a Government, May Be Called on to Form New Left-Wing Cabinet.Paris, April 29.\u2014French political sources said today Leon Blum, Socialist leader who has never participated in a Government, is likely to be asked to form a cabinet when the new Chamber of Deputies assembles after next Sunday\u2019s run-off elections.The solidification of the \u201cPeople\u2019s Front\u201d of Communist, Socialist and Radical-Socialist parties indicated the Socialists would have the greatest representation jn the new Chamber.Under the Popular Front agreement to throw full support to the coalition candidate who led each district in last Sunday's first voting, the Socialists appeared due to win about 120 seats.The Radical-Socialists, dominant party in the last Chamber, would take a slightly smaller number of places.The Communists led in enough of the SIS districts to win sixty seats under the Leftist plan, but observers expressed doubt that they would obtain this many, believing voters who supported the moderate left candidates last Sunday would go over to the Rightists, rather than vote for Communists in the run-off.Blum's attitude toward the Premiership was regarded generally ns speculative, He refused in the past to participate in coalition cabinets, such as the present ministry of Premier Albeit Sarraut, but he recently announced his willingness to cooperate in a \u201cPeople\u2019s Front\u201d government, Blum, for years leader of France\u2019s Socialists, has been known as the \u201cperpetual opponent\u2019\u2019 of French gov emments.Even when his party gave its voting support to a Government, cabinet members never knew what to expect, Blum always insisting on the right to question them in Chamber debate.In the Chamber elections of 1924.Blum led his party to a position of political importance, and after the last elections of 193*2, his party became second only to the Radical-Socialists.\u201cWe must wait a little longer Blum told his Socialist followers in the beginning of this year.\u201cFrance is not yet ripe for a Socialist Government.\u201d Heretofore, no member of the regular French Socialist party has ever held a cabinet portfolio, their credo being: \u201cAH or nothing.\u201d HAD SUSPICION BLAZE SET IN BALDWIN MILL Continued from Page 1.Biggar, called attention to the letter, which said the project had been the object of purely political attacks

will express recognition of the men who formed the rescue crew which released Dr.Robertson and Alfred Scadding, but no formal action has been taken, it was learned today.It is understood there is unanimity of opinion, not only in the Government but in the House of Commons as a whole, that some distinct recognition should be made by the Government and people of Canada, and that Prime Minister

\u201cMr.Sage\u201d political broadcasts from Toronto last year during the general election campaign.The committee heard from Don Henshaw that Maurice Boddingtoti, Toronto announcer and actor, had withdrawn quickly from the part of \u201cMr.Sage\u201d in the Conservative party\u2019s dramatic presentation* after receiving a letter threatening his life.Henshaw, United States citizen and radio advisor to the J.J.Gibbons Advertising Agency, Baid that 5 formation came to him second-hand and that he had been told of the incident by R, S.gtappels, of the Gibbons Agency.¦ Hen*haw gave evidence

Club, and thanked by Rotarian Ernest Hamilton, president of the Newport Ro-j tary Club.Rotarian \u201cBilly\u201d Allen delivered a forceful address in which he stressed the necessity of understanding between Canada and her American neighbor, and delved into history to show how the two nations bad settled their difficulties without having recourse to war or threats of conflict., At the outset of his address Rotarian Allen paid a stirring tribute to the democracy which had always characterized the life and work of His Majesty King Edward the Eighth, dealing especially with His Majesty\u2019s outstanding tribute to international peace while he was Prince of Wales.Starting with the war of 1812-14, the speaker jçade mention of the different occasions when Canada and the United States were called upon to settle some matter which could easily have ied to serious complications had not both countries showed a spirit of compromise and a readiness to settle their problems amicably, even if one country had to suffer some loss in the settlement.Today there is no need for guards or guns along the three thousand mile boundary line between Canada and the United States, the speaker said, for the two countries cannot afford to have any misunderstanding.A complete understanding between the English-speaking peoples of the world was, in the opinion of the speaker, an undisputable factor towards permanent world peace.It was within the power of these nations to regulate the course of events and it was within the power of Rotary to make possible that understanding which is so vital to the progress and welfare of humanity.The evening\u2019s proceedings were enlivened by a poppy sing-song, whue the music of McAuley\u2019s Orchestra, of Newport, was also much enjoyed.The accompanists

counter in his general store at Baldwin's Mills on the night of April 18, 1935.Mr, Lazure described how Mr.Baldwin had been bound and gagged, after being struck over the head with a blunt instrument.The accused, he said, had been seen in Baldwin\u2019s store on the afternoon of the crime.Baldwin died from his injuries shortly after being found in his store.Brown and Morin, Mr.Lazure said, met in a Vermont penitentiary, and after their release wrote to each other and discussed a plot to rob Baldwin, who was reputed to have a large sum of money in his store.Brown is alleged to have committed the actual slaying, while Morin waited for him at Barnston to divide the spoils.Harold Baldwin, son of the murdered man, was the first witness called.Before he rendered evidence, Albert Fregeau, attorney for the accused, requested that all witnesses be excluded from the court room, with the exception of Detective Laurent Forest of the Provincial Police.Harold Baldwin said that his father had usually kept twenty or thirty dollars on his premises.He was away with his mother at the time of the murder.Mrs.Baldwin died on her way home from Florida without learning of her husband's tragic fate.The witness identified a broken key that had belonged to the strongbox in his father\u2019s store.A part of the broken key was found on the floor near the safe.Mr.Baldwin had forgotten many details of the tragedy and Mr.Lazure had to refreshen his memory with extracts from the witness\u2019 evidence at the preliminary hearing, A pair of rubber boots were identified by the witness as having belonged to the stock in his father\u2019s store.Police allege these boots were worn by Brown at the time of his arrest.Witness, cross-examined by Mr.Fregeau, said that early on the morning of April 10 \u2014 about a week before the murder \u2014 fire destroyed his father\u2019s planing mill.Mr.Fregeau: \u201cDid you have any suspicions about the origin of that fire?\u201d \u201cYes.\u201d \u201cWere your suspicions well founded?\u201d \u201cI think so.\u201d \u201cNow, Mr.Baldwin, without naming any one, would you tell the Court if you suspect any one today in or around Baldwin\u2019s Mills?\u201d Mr.Lazure did not think that the question was relevant to the trial, but Mr.Justice Verret allowed it.Mr.Fregeau repeated his question.Mr.Baldwin replied: \u201cAfter the murder, I did.\u201d Louis Blais, of Sherbrooke, the first prospective juror called when Brown\u2019s trial was resumed yesterday afternoon, told Wilfrid Lazure that he did not believe in capital punishment.He was placed aside.R- H.Ross, Drummond' Road, called next, said that he had formed an opinion \u201cto a certain extent\u201d concerning the guilt or innocence of the accused.)Mr.I,azure: \u201cBut could you render a verdict according to the proof presented in this Court?\u201d \u201cYes.\u201d \u201cYour opinion is based on what you have read in the newspapers?\u201d \u201cExactly.\u201d Mr.Ross was declared by the triers as prejudiced or partial and refused.Antonio Cloutier, of this city, satisfied the requirements off the prosecution and defence and was accepted.He filed into the jury-box as the first of the twelve \u201cgood men and true\u2019\u2019 selected to decide the fate of Kenny Brown.Irwin Robinson, called next, was also accepted.J.W.French, judged by the triers partial, was placed aside by the defence.He had formed an opinion from newspaper stories.Edmond Carignan, of Asbestos, was chosen as the third talisman.R.N.LeBaron, young North Hatley storekeeper, said he had followed the Baldwin murder in the Daily Record.He did not know if he had formed an opinion.Baldwin, he said, had been an intimate friend of his father.He himself had known him slightly.\u201cHave you an idea that the prisoner at the bar is guilty or not guilty?\u201d asked Albert Fregeau.\"I don\u2019t know.He is one or the other,\u201d Mr.Lazure: \u201cAre you o-pposed capital punishment?\u201d \u201cYes, I am,\u201d replied Mr.LeBaron, and he was immediately dismissed.At 3:30 o\u2019clock\u2014Court had reconvened at two\u2014only three talis-men had been chosen.Brown, his jowls blue as the result of a fre«h shave, appeared quite interested in the tedious task of forming a jury panel to decide if he shall live or die.He has lost weight, slightly, during his year\u2019s incarceration.He did not appear worried yesterday afternoon, however, and quite frequently smiled at his attorney.Once he looked over towards the press table and winked.Antonio Cloutier, the first juryman chosen, *at in a far corner of the jury-box, rocked himself in a squeeky chair and looked bored.The other two jurymen acted as triers, but progress was slow.J.E.Courtemanche, of Magog, H.M.Arm«trong, of Lennoxville, Sinai Perras, of St.Malo, Thomas Elliott, of Ascot, and Joseph Roy, of Mar-bleton, were found unsuitable.Then H.A.Fowler, of Melbourne, and Wilfrid Giguere, of Eaton, were accepted in quick succession.They were joined by Anthony Banks, of Sherbrooke, who was declared competent to serve on the jury despite the fact that he had read about the crime and formed an opinion.That made three English-speaking and three Krench-epeaking jurors.Arthur Fontaine, fanner, of Ship- C0NFESSI0N NAMES YOUNG PARKER AS DIRECTING WENDEL ABDUCTION

the murder of Charles Augustus Lindbergh, jr., had no partner in the kidnapping, it was indicated in a report on Hauptmann\u2019s finances forwarded yesterday by Hugh McQuillan, New 'York agent, to Elmer Irey, head of the intelligence unit of the Department of Internal Revenue in Washington.Mr.McQuillan declared' that the facts on which the report was based convinced him that \u201cHauptmann had no partner, either dumb or silent.\u201d The report showed that Hauptmann had acquired $49,95'0.44 between April 2, 1932, the date of the payment of the ransom money, and September 19, 1934, the day of his arrest.Hauptmann could not account for this sum, Mr.McQuillan said, and the difference between it and the ?50,000 paid in ransom was only $49.56.The presumption was taht the money made up the ransom total.The figures forwarded to Mr.Irey showed assets as of September 19,\t1934, of $40,529,02 which Hauptmann could not explain.Stock market losses of $5,728.63 and household and other expenses after April 2, 1932, brought the total to $56,059.65.Against these figures, Hauptmann\u2019s assets of April 2, 1932, were only $4,941.40 and the known earnings of himself and wife from April 2 to the date of his arrest came to $1,167,81.Mr.McQuillan explained that the report had been based on an investigation by one of his agents, W.E.Frank, who interviewed Hauptmann in the Hunterdon County jail at Flemington.Mr.Frank checked a statement made to him by Hauptmann by going to all the stores involved in the purchases.In addition, he checked Hauptmann\u2019s brokerage and bank accounts.RENEWS CHARGE AGAINST WHEAT BOARD METHODS Ottawa, April 29.\u2014 Chairman James Murray, of the Canadian Wheat Board was expected to resume his evidence today before the House of Commons wheat committee.He was being questioned by Conservative leader Bennett at adjournment yesterday.Mr, Murray said the new Board had been in extence only a few days before it was attacked and accused of being dominated by the Winnipeg Grain Exchange.The chairman defended his Board against such charges and allegations it had been excessively friendly to \u201cshorts\u201d in the market.M.J.Coldwell, C.C.F., Rosetown-Biggar, member of the committee, said after listening to Mr.Murray\u2019s evidence he was convinced more than before that the Board was dominated by the Exchange.He explained he meant Board\u2019s methods complied strictly with those of the Exchange, a condition from which Western Canada farmers hope to escape.The Canadian said he did not think the Board was called upon to put pressure on short*.He claimed John I.McFarland, the former chairman, had spoken often of squeezing \u201cshorts\u201d but had never done so.Conservative leader Bennett said he was prepared to stand by his statement in the House early this year regarding protection accorded \u201cshorts\u201d at the time Argentina announced an increase in its minimum guaranteed price which caused quotations on the Exchange to rise.He made the remark after T.F.Donnelly, Liberal, Wood Mountain, remarked Mr.Bennett\u2019s charge was the chief reason for the committee investigation.TROPICAL RAINS DELAYING Continued

Exponent of Canadian Penitentiary Reform.Toronto, April 29.\u2014 Harry W.Anderson, former managing editor of the Toronto Globe and member of the Royal Commission to investigate Canadian penitentiaries conditions, died in hospital here early today.The sixty-year-old newspaperman who resigned from the Globe in January was operated on last Thursday.He showed definite improvement for three days but a heart condition complicated his illness and led to his death.Funeral arrangements have not been completed.Harry W.Anderson was managing editor of the Toronto Globe for ten years, during which period he maintained the best traditions of that newspaper.But he was a star reporter rather than a great publicist.He was tremendously interested in the human side of politics, knew intimateliy and was trusted implicitly by the greatest Canadian statesmen of the last thirty years.But he never could be interested in tariffs or economies or freight rates.iSe was zealous for the reform of Canadian penitentiaries and the liberation of unfortunate men imprisoned for months \u201cin the hole\u201d at Kingston.He was a crusader for the underdog, the champion of the less fortunate.He was an impressionistic writer with a dramatic flair whose forte was the vivid description of a disaster or the piemorable pçn picture of a momentous political convention.Anderson was a sparkling after-dinner speaker who appealed to the heart and emotions as he related anecdotes about Laurier and the presentation to the \u201cold Liberal Chieftain\u201d of a bouquet of wild flowers by prairie children.He made a remarkable impression on Earl Willingdon, former Governor-General, at a Press Gallery dinner.Anderson was the last of a long list of speakers.The hour was past midnight and His Excellency had been bored by some of the speakers* but as Mr.Anderson described his early association with Mackenzie King and Ernest Lapointe and their rise to be Prime Minister and Minister of Justice respectively, the Governor-General listened spellbound and requested he be introduced to him at the conclusion of the banquet.Anderson was born March 26, 1876, the son of Rev.William Anderson of Reading, England, who died when his son was but a child.A' delicate lad of twelve, Harry William was sent out to live with an uncle near Chatham, Ont., and went to high school there.He began his newspaper career as a printer\u2019s devil on the Chatham Planet, set type at the case, served his apprenticeship as a cub reporter and eventually by sheer ability won his way to the editorial chair.He came to Toronto early in the century to cover the Ontario Legislature for the Toronto News, then edited by Sir John Willison and owned by Sir Joseph Flavelle, It .was owing to some difference of opinion about Sir Adam Beck and Hydro with the management of the News (now defunct) that Mr.Anderson resigned in 1909 and joined the staff of the Globe as its representative at the Legislative Assembly.Anderson went to Ottawa for the Globe in 1911\u2014the reciprocity session\u2014-and soon became favorite, of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and other front-bench Liberals.Mr.Anderson covered many important assignments for the Globe in his day.He was playing cai'ds in the Press Gallery early one morning when a bulletin arrived that the Empress of Ireland, crack liner of the Canadian Pacific Railway, had been rammed by a collier in the St.Lawrence near Rim ou ski.Anderson ran to the railway sta tion and caught the last car of the Quebec-bound train as it steamed out of the depot at Ottawa.Hi* graphic stories of the disaster, sent to the Globe and relayed to the New York Sun, brought him double space rates, a $100 bonus and the offer of a high position on the New York paper.Anderson also covered the New York end of the Titanic disaster.Harry Anderson waged his battle for penitentiary reform in the faith that had directed his life; a faith that mercy should temper justice for the poor as well a* for the rich without any irreparable harm to justice.He resigned from the Globe in January last.His appointment, announced February 27, to the Rioyal Commission to investigate penitentiaries and recommend reforms was generally commended as a fitting recognition of his fight for reform.Mr.Anderson was always a supporter of co-operative news gathering in Canada and from 1930 to 1936 sat on the Board of Directors of The Canadian Press, where his colleagues valued his wise counsel and intimate knowledge of news in al lits ramifications.An ardent golfer, he was a member of the Weston Golf Club, Unmarried, he lived in Toronto with his two sisters.He was a Presbyterian.SCHEME TO REMOVE PRICE FIRM FROM RECEIVERSHIP Quebec, April 2k.\u2014 Creditor*, preferred

Shipping Greater than for Several Years Past.Montreal, April 29.\u2014Opened to navigation this spring earlier than in the last thirty-four years, the Port of Montreal js expected by harbor officials to see its greatest activity in the past several seasons.Grain shipments are beginning to move from the \u201cupper\u201d elevators, and cattle boats\u2014a rarity in port last season\u2014are being chartered.Away to a new record by the early opening, the port has established another new mark with delivery of 1,546,807 bushels of grain from the elevators in the first twenty-five days of the month, compared with 1,492,775 bushels for (he entire corresponding month last year, an increase of 54,032 bushels.Up to the corresponding date last year only about a half dozen ocean vessels had been chartered to carry grain cargoes, while this year at least sixty have been contracted to load for various foreign markets.Harbor officials, unwilling to predict the extent of business during the present season, pointed to last year\u2019s total grain receipts of 65,-080,829 bushels, with delivery of 63,283,084, of which 43,576.308 bushels found its way to export markets.And it was far from a busy season, they say, and was off to an extremely dull staid.The greatest activity, the records show, occurred about the start of August when a heavy grain movement began from the upper lakes.This year, they estimate.the movement will be much greater and will be on a more even scale.General activity probably will be much greater than a year ago, in LARGER SOVIET FAMILIES WILL BE ENCOURAGED Reversing Former Policy, Russia Will Impose Special Taxes on Bachelors and Childless Couples and Penalize Divorces.\"Moscow, April 29\u2014The increasing i importance the Soviet Union is attaching to the raising of families was shown today in an announcement that new laws were being drawn up to cuifo childless marriages and to extend financial responsibility for children's upkeep to bachelors.The laws will set up a special tax on single men and childless couples will provide state financial aid for families with' many children.There will also be a tax on divorcees and regulations will be enacted to prohibit certain operations except where they are demanded in the interests of health.This latter decision is a reversal of the former Soviet viewpoint which facilitated such operations.Aaron Soltz, chairman of the Supreme Court and member of the committee framing the new laws, asserted they were necessary to give the Soviet Union more people.\u201cAlthough the Soviet woman has been raised to a standing of absolute equality with man, she cannot be released from the great and honorable duty of bringing children into the world,\u201d he declared.the belief of harbor authorities, but it is on the gi'ain movements they keep an anxious eye.\u201cBut,\u201d conceded one executive, \u201cit naturally depends on foreign markets and the ability of Canada to fill the needs of those markets, However.if things continue through the season at the pace on which they have started.Montreal port will be booming as it did in some of our busiest years.\u201d at a
