Bilbao\u2019s outlet to the Bay of Biscay.More .than four thousand refugees, many children among them, were listed to sail tonight aboard the 10,000-ton Spanish liner Habana.Arrangements were made to charter another large ship to remove four thousand more children to England.The ship\u2019s identity was kept secret lest it become a prey of insurgent war vessels patrolling the Bay of Biscay.Advices

the novel of United States Civil War days in Georgia carried with it $1,000 in cash, a.pittance compared to what she has earned from the 1,350,000 copies of the book already printed, or what she Will earn from the motion picture about to be made.But in honor it was high, and Miss Mitchell jffins a distinguished group of novelists who have received the award since its inauguration in 1918.Miss Mitchell \u2014 in private life Mrs.John R.Marsh\u2014was one of fourteen men and women honored with the Pulitzer awards in journalism and letters, announced last night by the trustees of Columbia University.Selection of her one and\u2014she says\u2014only novel was one of the least surprising to most critics.An undercurrent of criticism greeted the award to the play \u201cYou Can\u2019t Take

SAVED LIVES OF YOUNG CHILDREN Amherst, N.S., May 4.-\u2014A thirteen year old Boy Scout was hailed today for saving two small children from death beneath the wheels of a speeding train\u2014but if a passerby who saw the rescue had not told the story, probably nobody would have heard anything about it.Lloyd Weatherbee saw two young tots wandering on the railway track near here at the same time as he heard the whistle of an express train.He.pushed one child off the tracks in one direction and lifted the other safely on the opposite side of the track.A kiddie car being pulled by one of the children was smashed by the train.Weatherbee, his rescue performed.did not stop to find out the chil- London, May 4.\u2014London is ready to celebrate the Coronation with foam and bubbles.No less than 250,009 extra barrels of beer, by a conservative estimate, will be consumed before the Coronation is over, and the leading hotels have stocked up heavily with champagne, wines and liqueurs.The toast to \u201cThe King\u201d is going to be drunk from one end of London to the other.There is plenty of precedent.Samuels Pepys\u2019 record of the crowning of Charles II, for example, shows he sent his wife to bed, and went out to enjoy himself.The result was that when he got to bed himself his head \u201cbegan to turn\u201d just a little.\u201cI -wondered,\u201d Pepys wrote in his diary, \u201cto see how the ladies did tipple.\u201d This year there will be at least two nights of extreme gaiety.At midnight May 11th, as Coronation Day begins, bedlam will break I loose.The night, of May 12th, after I the King is crowned, will top the | extravaganza of letting the bars i down.Licensing laws for liquor will interfere to a certain extent with the night spot®.Drinks may be served in restaurants and cabarets only up to a certain hour\u2014usually midnight \u2014unless special permission has been secured.But London has got, around that through the so-called \u201cnight clubs\u201d or \u201cbottle-party clubs.\u201d Visitors to those clubs must \u201cjoin\u201d for a nominal fee\u2014usually about *1 to 82.50.The visitor signs forms which permit the club, as agent, to obtain liquor by the bottle from merchants.The bottles are labelled with the customer's name, placed on the table as his property and kept\u2014if necessary\u2014until the customer comes back a second or third time to finish off the contents.By the same theory, the customer doesn\u2019t get any liquor until at least the night, after he signs up, to give the club a chance to send out for the bottled goods.ITALY TO PAY 13 TO 38 CENTS A WEEK FOR EACH NEW BABY Rome, May 4.\u2014The govern-! ment is going to give Italian I parents thirteen to thirty-eight j cents a week for each new baby.The scheme is part of Premier ! Mussolini\u2019s plan to check the i decline in Italy\u2019s birthrate.If the prospective daddy is a factory worker, for instance, it will work out like this: one baby will add twenty-four cents to his normal weekly salary, two babies sixty-three cents, thi\u2019ee babies ninety-four cents and four babies $1.50.When he acquires a brood of ten, he will be eligible to receive a supplemental wage of $3.75 a week.For an average workman that would mean an average increase of fifty per cent, over the wages he gets for his regular work.DEATHS RECORDED IN TODAY\u2019S NEWS The following deaths were

speech, when he warned against sermons or \u201cencyclicals\u201d which \u201c.disturb\u201d the Third Reich.It took a more moderate tone than the encyclical, and left the way open for further conversations about the concordat, which set up separate spheres of Church and State influence in the Reich.The note maintained, however, the Church\u2019s insistence that economic pressure must not be brought to bear against Catholics in Germany; that Catholic schools and the Catholic press should not bo hampered.As the nole was presented, German.Foreign Minister Konstantin von Neurath, who is here visiting * Premier Mussolini, drove with German Ambassador Ulrich von Hassell to Castel Gandolfo, where ihe Pope is in residence.He did not see the Holy Father, however, and authoritative German

DAILY RECORD, TUESDAY, MAY 4, 1937.A PERMANENT FIRE BRIGADE AT LENNOXVILLE Town Council Decide to Replace Voluntary Force by Permanent Brigade of Ten Men and a Fire Chief-Varied Matters Studied by Councillors at Monthly Meeting.Lennoxviile is to- have a paid fire brig-ade of ten men and a fire chief, all efficiently equipped with waterproof coats, boots and helmets.This was the decision of the Town Council at last night\u2019s regular monthly meeting, which was presided over by Mayor H.W.S.Downs and with all councillors present.The Town Council is appreciative of the splendid work rendered in the past by Chief T.D.Bozer and the voluntary brigade, but it was felt the town would be better served by having a permanent force.The entire plan as submitted by the fire committee met with the approval of the Council, and the committee was empowered to select suitable men for the department.A letter was read from the Hon.J.S.Bourque, Minister of Public Works, stating that a grant for fire protection would be made by the Provincial Government provided the town complied with the regulations and made their request within two months.A discussion took place regarding the building of new sidewalks, it being stated that no work of this type, except for a short piece near the Union Screen Plate Company, had been undertaken for the past six years.It was decided that a new sidewalk would be laid on Warren street, and that the flagstones from this street would be used on Massa-wipui street.Clough avenue is also in need of attention, but this was left over for further consideration ,'is the expense involved was consid-e~ed rather high.The levelling of £elvidere street and jther work un-oer consideration was also left in ab-syance pending the surveyor\u2019s report.B.\tJ.Dundin, who complained regarding the dusty condition of the Sherbrooke-Lennoxville highway, was told that the town would take immediate action to remedy this situation.A complaint was voiced by A.T.Spied regarding the loading of cattle in Lennoxviile.These animals are left standing in the cars sometimes as long as three days and nights before being shipped._ This creates a noise which is a nuisance to the community, Mr.Speid contended.He was assured that the police committee would notify the proper authorities that this must cease.C.\tHoward A firman, principal of the Lennoxviile High School, spoke briefly' to the councillors and, as head of the committee for the Coronation Day celebration, outlined the programme which was being drawn up.This will comprise a church parade in the morning, sporting events with prizes and a softball game during the afternoon* and a band concert and torchlight parade in the evening.The sum of one hundred dollars was voted by the Council toward the cost of this celebration.Councillor Xorrey Hunting reported the entrance to the Town Hall was considered unsafe and it was decided that the porch would be torn down and the front of the building made more

in JointTrial of Louis Rodrigue and Lionel Grimard, Charged with Conspiracy to Defraud, Inaugurated this Morning.A motion to quash the indictment against Louis Rodrigue ana Lionel brimard, both of this city, charged with conspiracy to defraua, Was dismissed by Judge J.S.Couture in the Magistrate\u2019s Uourt this morning as the climax to a long legal argument between Crown and defence attorneys that held the attention of the Court all yesterday afternoon.Charles deL.Mignault, attorney for the accused, who have selected speedy trials in the Magistrate\u2019s Court after being condemned to Court of King\u2019s Bench, claimed that the indictment was illegal because it contained several accusations and covered offences for which Grimard and Rodrigue had not been bound over for trial.Antorio Drolet, Crown prosecutor, declared the indictment was legal in every way.It was founded on only one accusation that held an element of continuity, he said, and evidence at the preliminary hearing had shown that the alleged offences started as early as 1929, although the original complaint covered only the five year period between 193Ü and 1935.The defence attorney then requested more details regarding the complaint, but Judge Couture also refused this motion, remarking that the act of accusation was sufficiently detailed as it was.In the event that the defence was \u201ccaught by surprise\u201d through the introduction of unexpected evidence, he said, arrangements could be made for an adjournment to allow the defence time to prepare to meet the new proof.After these two defence moves were ruled out this morning, it appeared that the joint trial was about to start.But that was not to be\u2014 for quite a few minutes at least.There was trouble about the witnesses.Mr.Drolet claimed that he had had no time to subpoena a number of witnesses residing in such out of the way places as St.Sebastien.Therefore, he desired to have the case postponed until the 10th, but Mr.Mignault expressed a desire to proceed at once.Mr.Drolet had been under the impression that Mr.Mignault was willing to agree to the introduction of the preliminary hearing depositions of these particular witnesses, but now he understood that Mr.Mignault was adverse to that arrangement.Mr.Mignault explained that since Mr.Droiet and he had considered using the depositions, he had studied the records of the preliminary hearing and \u201cwas surprised to find them replete with illegalities.\u201d Mr.Mignault explained that he was retained only last Friday to defend the accused, and he could not agree to the use of the depositions unless the witnesses were present to be cross-examined should that be necessary.\u201cWould it be possible,\u201d asked Judge Couture in a mildly sarcastic tone, to find some way of making this case more complicated?\u201d It was finally agreed to hear the witnesses already summoned by the Crown, and then adjourn until the others could be present.Alfred Cote, fifty-three year old Chesham farmer, was the first witness called.He testified to a transaction he had had with Rodrigue and Grimard in September, 1934, by which he exchanged his farm for a property at St.Francois Xavier de Brompton.The case is continuing.The Council likewise approved the re-asphalting of the bridge on Mas-sawippi street and a resolution was adopted that the trees on main street be inspected.Grants of twenty-five dollars were given to the Lennoxviile Dahlia and Floricultural Society, who will plant flowers at the Town Square, and to the Victorian Order of Nurses, whose splendid work is much appreciated by the residents of Lennoxviile, Complaints were voiced by R.H.Fletcher, who stated that the refuse from the Franciscan Monastery was being dumped on his property, and from the garbage collector, who stated some citizens were leaving things for his collection which were outside those stipulated in his contract.The Council expressed its appreciation to William Pratt who has consented to attend to the raising and lowering of the town flag dur-j ing the absence of F.B.Day.Prior to the conclusion of the 1 meeting Councillor Louis E.Codere was named

Queen the strength that lifts and shares \u201cThe daily burden that a monarch bears.\u201d And all the while the King is gathering affection.This quiet, serious, sensitive forty-two jear cld man is being compared with his father who also had to follow the reign of a more lively, colorful man.\u201cMind you, he\u2019ll gradually gain precisely the same impersonal yet intimate affection his father enjoyed\u201d\u2014this from a man in a high position of state.\u201cWell, he may be plain but we know him and he knows us.\u201d The day when Their Majesties journeyed on the Thames to open the Maritime Museum at Greenwich, police had to postpone their return owing to the greatly enthusiastic crowds w\u2019hich blocked the route.It is said His Majesty is applying himself to his work in an earnest determination to wrin back respect for the monarchy as well as the affection of his people.He is studying welfare conditions, particularly looking into industrial affairs in relation to the common weal.And he is acquiring a dignified reserve where once a tendency toward nervousness embarrassed both himself and those about him.That nervousness brings to mind the question of his health.Wild rumors are circulating attributing to him almost every ailment known to medicine.He himself, amused on one occasion, was reported to have remarked : \u201cIf I suffered all I am said to suffer from I should either be head or dying.Well really I am feeling very fit.\u201d It is certain His Majestys\u2019 health is not robust.His constitution is delicate but under care he manages w'eli.With his interests fortunately lying rather in the quieter pursuits of books or milder exercises, it is thought he will not find the king-ship too exhausting a task.Regarding the more immediate considerations of the success of the Coronation, there have been reports that many bookings were cancelled.If Edward were being crowned, it is whispered, May 12 would be a greater day.; Mindful of Edward\u2019s abdication, : some attribute the cancellations of | George\u2019s comparative lack of popu-| larity.Yet informed observers dis-| credit this theory, declaring there are inevitably numerous cancellations in such a giant event and normally such cancellations would pass without question.If which is doubtful, there is an apparent slackening off in Coronation bookings and interest some argue more plausibly the fault is against the press, commercial hotels, travel agencies, shops, propagandists, and so forth, whose job is accused of being overdone t.nd over-ballyhooed to the extent that people became leery of participating in such a maelstrom of humanity and activity.And it is pointed out that industrial unrest and strikes\u2014such as the current bus strike\u2014are possible deterrents.Actually, it is felt the Coronation in many ways will bo a greater, gayer affair than it would with Edward.The King has his Queen and the two princesses.And if anyone thinks this an overrated conii deration let him read the English papers, noting the amount of news devoted to the feminine side of the festivities directly attributed to he participation of Queen Elizabeth and her daughters.The King\u2019s interest in all the Coronation arrangements ha3 been noteworthy.One instance the writer knows for a fact: On May 14 more than two thousand Empire troops will go to the palace to receive Coronation medals.The scheme was that only representatives of each contingent would actually receive a medal from the King, the others to be distributed through the ranks at the same time.The King objected, wanting to present each personally, and was only dissuaded when it was proved such a ceremony would take five hours.Against difficult days ahead, the King is building on sturdy foundations to set the monarchy back on its pedestal.This he aims to do without spectacular devices such a.- personal appeal and personal activity, but through thoughtful annlication to his duty.And his conception of duty is the same as Edward\u2019s\u2014\u201cIch Dien\u201d\u2014though big service will appeal to the subconscious ra+her than j to the conscious mindc of his people.All in all, the counter of straws ! cannot escape the conclusion that \u2022 George VI will be crowned amid the genuine hurrahs of his kingdom.SNOW REMOVAL REFLECTED IN RAIL EARNINGS Heavy Floods in Spring or 1936 Also Served to Offset Increased Earnings Reported by Quebec Central Railway-Officers Re-elected.An increase of $41,089 in gross earnings, which for the year 1936 totalled $1,442,998, was reported at the annual meeting of the Quebec Central Railway held in Montreal yesterday, reflecting the improved economic conditions in the territory served by the company.Working expenses., including taxes, however, jumped $57,569, owing largely to the unusually heavy costs for snow removal during the first two months of the year and repairs to the line damaged by spring floods.Thus net earnings declined by $16,480 to $47,909, Freight earnings advanced substantially but passenger receipts declined owing to the increasing competition from the private automobile.Traffic prospects for the current year were reported as very encouraging, the earnings for the first quarter ended March 31 showing marked increases in both freight and passenger traffic over the corresponding period of last year.The annual meeting of the Quebec Central Transportation Company, a highway subsidiary of the railway, was also held yesterday.This company operates motor coaches over some three hundred route miles of highway throughout the district served by the railway and the results of its operations during 1936 were considered satisfactory.Services corresponding to that of last year are being re-established as the road conditions permit.A modern streamlined motor coach seating twenty-seven passengers has been added to the company\u2019s equipment.The following were elected to the Board of Directors of the Quebec Central Railway Company; D.C.Coleman, Montreal, J.H.Walsh, Sherbrooke, L.B.Unwin, Montreal, E.P.Flintoft, K.C., Montreal, Charles-D.Brassey and Thomas Lindley, London.England.The executive
