they divided the House on the main motion for adoption of the resolution, and they divided it again cn an instruction that the resolution be reported from the House.Altogether the House divided thirty-three times since the session opened yesterday afternoon.On BT/\\ | fia/IIT1 I T1!AM UM11A1 m as the Government steam-rollered the unemployment financial resolution through, the members laughingly trooped out.some attempting to strike up \u201cAuld Lang Syne.\u201d With the regular Friday session used up, the House stands adjourned until Monday.Not since the stormy days of the Labor Government had the House witnessed such scenes as set in with the opening of the Newfoundland Bill debate.The trouble was brewing since the Government announced its intention to apply the gullotine rule to next week\u2019s committee discussions on the great new unemployment bill.ON LiOUOR FROM THIS COUNTRY CHANGE IN NEWFOUNDLAND STATUS ONLY TEMPORARY London, Dec.15.\u2014The British Government has no idea other than that suspension of Newfoundland\u2019s status as a Dominion is only temporary, in the opinion of Rt.Hon.J.H.Thomas, Secretary for the Dominions.In the House of Commons last night, Mr.Thomas resisted an attack from the Clydeside leftwingers following their introduction of an \u2022amendment to the Newfoundland \u2019Bill which called for consultations with the Dominion governments before carrying out the recommend-.ations of the Royal Commission, and the amendment was defeated Believed that Supplies of Canadian Liquor Desired by United States Drinkers Alone Limits Exports.New York, Dec.15.\u2014There was no estimating today how much of the 20,000,000 to 25,000,000 gallons of American type liquor held by Canadian distillers might be per-i mitted entry into the United States.The ultimate total of Canadi.| imports for rectifying and blenci-; ing cannot be estimated, Joseph [Choate Jr., director of the Federal | Alcohol Control Administration, ; told the Association Press at Wush-: ington.The reason, he added, U j that the total has not been fixed.A special Washington dispatch to the New York Times said the F.A.C.A.intimated Thursday that permission might be granted to import the entire quantity of Ameri can types of rye and bourbon whiskey stored in Canada, if such importations were required to lower prices in the United States.Accordingly said the Times dis patch, no liquor quota has been established for Canada.Specific permits for 5,580,590 San Pedro, Dominican Republic, Dec.15.\u2014Col.and Mrs.Charles A.Lindbergh landed here at 10:40 a.m., É.S.T., today after a three hundred mile flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico, Pan-American Airways announced.- THREE TOTS BURNED TO DEATH.Wrangell, Alaska, Dec.15.\u2014Imprisoned in their blazing home, three children of Tony Hernande, a Mexican, burned to death here yesterday while their parents were away from the house.QIIEREC WASHES HAM'S OF COAL COMBINE CASES Further Action as Far as Five Convicted Companies Are Concerned Is Up to Federal Government, States Premier L.A.Taschereau.>y a vote of 208 to 38.\t,\t.\t.\t.The bill was in committee stage, gallons of Canadian liquor made up is- and it had a rather difficult pa sage, a series of amendments,' ranging from a three year limit on the suspension of Dominion status to establishment in the ancient colony of a \u2018\u2018Socialist Co-Operative Common-Wealth\u201d were introduced by the Laborities, but were defeated in turn, the government majmlities generally running around 150.Mr, Thomas thought the three year limit would make restoration of proper conditions in Newfoundland more difficult, but agreed a difference in wording should be examined.The difference was called to the attention of the House by Sir Stafford Cripps, Labor, who said the bill would \"revoke\u201d Newfoundland\u2019s constitution permanently, instead of merely suspending it.No member of the Government, said Mr.Thomas, felt happy about the bill.Temporary was \"written all over it,\u201d and nobody would be more delighted man he when the time came to propose restoration of dominion status to Newfoundland.There should be no consultation with other Dominions, he said.'It is not our duty to consult the Dom inions.The matter is purely between Newfoundland and ourselves.\u201d He did not think the other Dominions wished to be consulted.for American tastes have beer, sued to importers in this side of the border.A Washington story printed to-da, by the Journal of Commerce also said Canadian importation: were limii u ori.v by the supplv.\u201cAmerican rectifiers anil bien-;

and whether special supervision would be placed over them.The Premier repeated 'he assertion that it was a matter for the Federal authorities to deal with It was unofficially learned in political ciic.es here that at the forthcoming session of the Dominion House, the question will be thrashea out again n full.The claim, it was stated, would be put forward that \u2018he Gov.'ruinent should withdraw present customs duties against foreign anrhraeite ami coke entering Canada, on the grounds that instead Continues on Page 2 ELEVEN LIVES WERE CLAIMED IN RAIL WRECK!

United States Subsidy System.New York, Dec.15.\u2014H.Gerrish Smith, president of the National t cuncil of An Nai.Shipbuilders, last night replied to British critics of the merrhaiiL marine policies of fhe United States.The criticism of American shipping methods started in Great Britain several weeks ago, an.! the latest comments were made last Wednesday by Neville Chamberlain.Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Walter Runciman, President of the British Board of rade.\u201cEngland may have a grievance,\u201d said Mr Smith, \u201cbut I fail to see where we come into the picture.Our ships operate out of our own ports, and they carry freight bound to or from our own country.We carry virtually no goods in indirect trade, that is, trade between other countries.English ships, on the other hand, carry ninety per cent, of their own trade, sixty per cent, of that between the Empi:;' and foreign countries and alutit half the trade of the whole world.\u201d London, Dec.15.\u2014Aircraftsman Shaw\u2014better known as the heroic Lawrence of Arabia\u2014was in the news again today when the Daily Telegraph revealed for the first time how unsinkable speedboats have been darting over the waters of the North Sea as redoubtable targets for the bombing planes of the British fleet.Shaw, as he hr called himself for many years, initiated the first of the small but dauntless crews manning the targetboats, it was stated.Crouching below a crashproof cover the three men manning each targei boat wear eai-defenders, crash helmets nd gas masks while dummy bomt rain down Irom a heigh or 1,500 feet or moi e.The fleets bombers arc stated to have acquired astounding ac-curaey u chasing these forty-foot target boats, which travel at thirty miles an hour speed .if the fastest cruisers, and manoeuvre with remarkable rapidity.The exper'.vents have been proceeding secretly for more than a year and apparently Shaw\u2019s work ha.been performed.Direct hits have proved the efficiency of the targetboat men\u2019s protection, but there were some awkward moments for them when the missiles hit unprotected parts of their craft and plunged through, the crews struggling in water to plug up die holes.London, Dec.15.\u2014 Preliminary arrangements for a world-wide mini-raum scale of wheat prices are expected to be completed by the International Wheat Commission's Marketing Committee tonight for presentation to the full commission on January 22nd.The committee, meeting to study wheat price, exporting and consumption pro tie Hi s, does not hope to go further than suggesting what should be the price differentials for various kinds of wheat.It will be left to the commission to decide actual prices.The committee was instructed, when formed, fc present both sides of the proposal under consideration with a view to showing whether it would be woi kablc While .«elegates from the big wheat-pmi\u2019iicing nations dislike any price-fixing, they apparently are convinced a minimum scale is necessary f r two or three months to tide wheat over from its current low ebb in the world\u2019s markets.HON.H.M.MARLER IS SLOW Li RECOVERING.Tokyo, Japan, Dec.15.\u2014Hon.H.M, Mailer, Canadian

terminated its first annual meeting here yesterday.Repi'e.scntaUves Were present from all Hie provinces, including coral Ministers of Highways, while spokesmen appeared from the various motor-truck compnn Hon R.J.Manion, Minister of Railways, presided.A vesolutien tha- tins should be the first of regular annual conferences was favorably receive I.The entire situation that lia?de veloped out of mutual competition among motor-truck companies, com- 1 petition between these companies] and the railways, and the continu-1 ance of these forms of competition j in their present fashion was traversed.The motor truck spokesmen dice in great detail.Emerging from the sessions was a series of resolutions which may in due course be incorporated in the various provincial enactments regulating motor vehicles.'Phese had to do with the publication of rates and charges, the acceptance of freight without undue discrimination, the keeping of accounts, limitation cf mileage and hours of operators, standards of fitness, the licensing of ¦ommon carriers, insurance ami the co-operation of motor-truck companies with the Dominion Bureau of Statistics in the compilation of data relative to thal.business.In the course iff an address Dr, Manion urged upon the motor-truck interests the advisability of eliminating mutual competition, pointing to the condition of the railways as indicative of the consequences of unrestricted competition.The motortruck should be complementary to the railways, said Dr.Manion.THIRD MARRIAGE FOR GRANT MOTHERS Lodi, N.J., Dec.15.\u2014News of the marriage

Worth.London, Dec.15.\u2014A campaign of intervention \u2018\u2018which is without precedent\u201d was charged against the Canadian Government today by Timber Distributors Limited, which handles practically all Russian timber imported to Britain.The imports are protested by the Cana-dian Government as a breach ot the Ottawa trade agreements.In a statement issued last night, Timber Distributors declares: \u201cSeeing Russian timber has been off the wholesale market since April it is difficult to accept the official Canadian apology that Canadian timber has been selling at an un-remunerative price owing ro the market being dominated by Russian prices and Russian influence.\u201cWould it.not be unfair to suggest that price-cutting tactics, which if indulged in by the Russian Government would be stigmatized as a nefarious attempt to eliminate competition, are considered \" 'aud-able attempt on the part of Canadian shippers to expand their markets?\u201d It is obvious, the statement continued \u201cSuch amazing price discrepancies can only be accounted for by one of the two following alternatives.Either the Canadian shippers are ini.Iging in ruthless price-cutting vis-a-vis their closest competitors, namely Finland, Poland and the Baltic states, or the correct value of Canadian timber on this market is being obtained, having regard to quality, texture, manufacture, specifications, durability in this climate, shipping facilities, and the like.\u201cThe common-sense view would surely incline to tue latter theorv, which again supports the contention of Timber Distributors Limited that any serious contraction of our Russian iupplii would ^have to be made good in the main from Scandinavian sources, where the characteristics of timber most nearly approxk those of Rus- Gerald Wright, Town Constable at Foster, Fined Ten Dollars by Judge J.H.Lemay\u2014Judge Declares Case Should Have Been Settled Out of Court.London, December IS.\u2014Increased indications were seen today that Great Britain is striving with renewed energy to break the disarmament deadlock.It was announced that Sir Eric Phipps, Ambassador to Berlin, who returned only yesterday, had been summoned before a meeting of the Cabinet sub-committee on foreign affairs.This group has been handling recent arms negotiations in connection with the deadlock among nations which has arisen since Germany\u2019s withdrawal from the Disarmament Conference.Sir Eric was expected to discuss recent developments in Berlin, supplying the committee with first-hand information on the possibility of reaching new agreements.A full Cabinet session is expected next week before the departure of Sir John Simon, Secretary for Foreign Affairs, on visits to France and Italy.He will join statesmen of other countries in talks through which agreement is being sought on a basis for operations of the League of Nations and the Disarmament Conference when they meet again next month.A Government arms pronouncement in the House of Comomns is expected before the Christmas recess.Unofficial reports that Briton will talk with Premier Mussolini were given support by the announcemen:.that Sir John and Lady Simon will spend the Christmas holidays at Capri and will travel to that resort by way of Rome.It was said the British Government has not been informed whether Fulvio Suvich, the Italian Undersecretary of State, would come to London after his interview with continental statesmen on the League and arms situations.Importance was attached to the possible Simon-Mussolini interview because the latter has demanded tnat the League be reformed so as to make it more representative of world opinion.This, it has been indicated, may involve a divorce of the League from the Versailles postwar treaty.\t\u2022 Sir John\u2019s plans have not been announced in detail, but some circles believed he may consider a possible Franco-German rapprochement and that Mussolini may also visit Paris and other European capitals.Lord Cecil made a plea last night that the British Government issue a public declaration on its disarmament policy, recommending complete abolition within five years for all countries of arms now forbidden Germany.He presided over a meeting of tha League of Nations Unioq.Joseph A.C.Avenol, Secretary-General of the League also spoke.M.Avenol declared that \u201cThe League certainly is passing through a crisis but the situation is not hopeless.\u201d Lord Cecil and Captain Anthony Eden, British Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, asked continued support for the League as the best medium for peace and disarmament.The former urged advocacy by the Government of internationl arms supervision and suggested that all signatories of an arms treaty should agree to sever diplomatic | and financial relations with any I signatory failing to fulfil its prom-S ises.The Union in a resolution recorded its unaltered conviction that only through the League and a collective system could war be averted and civilization saved.It also urged the British Government to make a forthwith declaration of British policy along the lines suggested by Lord Cecil.Meanwhile, the clouds on the disarmament horizon have led to an increased questioning in some quarters of the wisdom of continuing Britain\u2019s pared-down defence position.\u201cIt is quite clear we cannot stand alone in the world,\u201d Stanley Baldwin, a cabinet minister, recently told the House of Commons, \u201cin our present position in regard to defence whether in regard to the air j or sea or upon the land.\u201d Sweetsburg, Dec.15.\u2014A nominal fine of ten dollars was imposed on Gerald Wright, of Foster, when Magistrate J.H.Lemay, of Sherbrooke, found him guilty of the accusation of theft preferred against him by the Foster Skating Rink.\u201cI will impose a nominal fine of ten dollars in order that the public may know how trifling, and I wish these words to be impressed this case has been,\u201d Judge Lemay remarked in the judgment against Wright, who is town constable at Foster.In finding the accused guilty, the Court took into consideration the special circumstances which absolutely did not warrant a severe sentence.That the accused is a constable and that by being convicted of an indictable offense he is liable to lose his position, thereby being punished much more than an ordinary person, was the first circumstance considered by Judge Lemay.Further, the tribunal pointed out, the complainants themselves had displayed bad faith.\u201cThis matter should have been settled before the case came up before the Court,\u201d Judge Lemay remarked in commenting on this phase of the matter.\u201cIf there had not been such ill-will on the par-t of the complainants, this case would not have gone as far as it has.The accused had disbursed money lor the hockey players, and my impression is that he certainly was not to be repaid.The boys did not xvant to pay him.They showed bad faith throughout this affair and I cannot allow to hold sway the organ of vengeance of a certain organization against a party tvho did not suit their wishes.\u201d \u201cFor those considerations I wilt not condemn the accused to a jail term neither will I suspend his sentence, because a suspended sentence means everything and it means nothing,\" the judgment read in conclusion.\u201cIf I suspend sentence and the accused was ever asked if he had been condemned, he would have to say that his sentence had been suspended, and those interested might think that the suspended sentence in the case was very much more serious than the one which 'nto\"'\u2019«ts us today.\u201d Reviewing the evidence, Judge Lemay remarked that it had been proved that Wright was somewhat of a manger of the Foster Hockey Club, and as uch had been guardian of the equipment of the hockey players and the hockey rink.It had been established that the players or the association owed him money, nartic.larly for an account he hçd paid to a Waterloo store.The defence contended as an excuse the fact that the n- use thought he .iad the right to keep, as security for payment, the goods which were placed in his keeping.By paying (he M\u2019aterloo store bill, Wright was under the impression that he was entitled to take the shack down and convert the lumber to his own use.\u201cThere is something to this point,\u2019\u2019 Judge Lemay said in judgment.\u201cI realize that ordinary, ignorant people might think that paying an account owed by a third party would give them the right to do what the reused did.But in thi case, especially under the circumstances, Affright, who is not an ignorant man, knew what he was doing.M'hcn he went to the.Waterloo store and made some agreement to the effect that if lie paid the account he would a.sunie the rights of the store keeper, he should have, known that this did not give him the right to tear down the skating rink shack and cart the lumber away to bis - n property.\u201d The only thing the storekeeper could give the accused, the Court continued, was the former\u2019s own rights.The storekeeper had a right to a judgment against the hockey players and to reize tl 1 lumber and equipments.\u201cThe accused did not conceal his actions, but he knew what he wan doing and he defied anyone to stop hin,,\u2019\u2019 Judge Lemay claimed.\u201cIf the evidence adduced by the storekeeper supported the testimony given by Wright, I might be inclined to give the accused the benefit of the doubt.But if I give an acquittal under these special circumstances, this would mean that in all cases that would come up before the Court for theft of this nature, the only thing an accused would have to say would be \u2018I thought I had the right to do it.\u2019 This would be a very dangerous precedent.\u201d Wright had been committed at hU preliminary hearing to stand trial, but requested a speedy trial and pleaded that he had had no intention of stealing anything belonging- to the club.He had acted under the impression, the accused contended, that he had a right to retain the equipment until such time as he was paid.906415 PAGE TWO SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1933 MAN ARRESTED POLICE CLAIM PRODUCTION OF COULD W.M.S.ON TESTIMONY CONFESSION IN | COLD REMAINS HELD
