Activities Reported From Coast To Coast\t\t\t Many Arrests Are Made In Charged With Having Plotted Revolution\u2014The Plans of Estrada at San E>iego May Not Have Been Connected With Religious Controversy\u2014Entire City Council of One Mexican Town Under Arrest\u2014Religious Situation Remains Unchanged, Though Economic Boycott Is Increasing.(Associated Press Despatch) EXICO CITY, August 17.\u2014Some fifty persons have been taken into custody in the federal district, charged with having participated in a plot of wide ramifications for uprisings last Sunday against the Government\u2019s religious regulations.Additional arrests have been made at other places.These include a general of the Federal army, whose name is withheld.He was made a prisoner in the state of Morelos, secret service officals say, and is charged with complicity in the proposed unrising.His is the only case of alleged disaffection in the army thus far reported.All the members of the city council of the town of Amocameca, in the state of Mexico, were apprehended on telegraphic instructions from the Mexico City secret police.There are some suggestions in unofficial circles that the concentration of forces of General Enrique Estrada, near the Mexican border in California, with the alleged purpose of crossing the frontier into Mexico may have been connected with the alleged plot and as a part of a general revolutionary movement.President Calles says he had been informed more than two months ago of the plan of General Estrada and declares that if Estrada and his followers had not been arrested by the California authorities and had crossed the border the rebellion would have been suppressed and the rebels killed.The Roman Catholic Episcopate when informed of the police reports that Catholics had been taken by the police in connection with the alleged conspiracy, said it was known that a number of Catholic leaders had been arrested, but that it was understood the police were searching their homes for missing church treasures.It was stated that the Episcopate had no information of any uprising having been planned by Catholics in opposition to the religious regulations.It was pointed out that the church authorities had announced on several occasions that the opposition of the church was a peaceful one, and that no uprising against the state was contemplated.The recent statement of the Episcopate that in the event Mexico was ever attacked by a foreign power the Catholics of the country would show their patriotism by siding with the Government was recalled.Late last night the police announced that eight of those arrested had been released.No reason was given for setting them free.Just how widespread the alleged revolutionary movement was has not been made known, but the police assert that uprisings had been planned in the states of Chihuahua, Jalisco, Puebla, Morelos and Michoa-can and in Mexico City, and the federal district.What was done in the outlying district by the police to put down the movement has not been revealed here.Generally the religious situation remains unchanged, but the economic boycott called by the League for the defence of religious liberty in protest against the Government\u2019s regulations seems to be increasing.Many Catholics are waiting hopefully for the convening of Congress, September 1st, and the enactment of milder church regulations.The hope seemingly is a forlorn one.THE ATTEMPT OF GENERAL ESTRADA AT SAN DIEGO (Associated Press Despatch) SAN DIEGO, CAL., August 17.\u2014General Enrique Estrada, former secretary of war, for Mexico, was named yesterday as the engineer of the latest plot to overthrow the Mexican Government, foiled near here last night with the arrest of one hundred and seventy-four men and seizure of a large amount of ammunition and equipment.A.A.Hopkins, Department of Justice agent, said that the General \u201cfrom all the information they were able to gather,\u201d was the sponsor for the movement against the lower California Government.\u201cI do not think that the Mexican religious troubles had anything to do with the movement or that any one but Estrada was behind it.I believe it was simply an attempt of the outs to get in.\u201d Charges of violating a section of the Criminal Code which prohibits an organized military movement against a friendly foreign country, are to be placed against members of the expedition, Federal officials said.GOOD DISPLAY OF EXHIBITS ATCOOKSHIKE Annual Fair, First in Townships, Opened Today \u2014 Excellent

criticisms and comments in the British press concerning the record-breaking channel swim of Miss Gertrude Ederle has aroused condemnation by the Channel swimming colony here as foundationless and utterly inaccurate.Forty-one witnesses followed Miss Ederle's attempt and they have indicated that the swim was carried out in accordance with every precedent.The Associated Press correspondent, who

yesterday.It appears that Mr.Boivin, Mr.Puller and several others were driving in Mr.Boivin\u2019s car and were going along St.James Street in Montreal about 2 o\u2019clock yesterday afternoon when a large truck suddenly crossed their path, and before they could stop their car or before the driver of the truck had time to get his machine out of the road, the two had collided.Mr.Boivin was fortunate in escaping without any injuries, although Mr.Fuller wus quite badly, but not seriously, cut about the face, having been thrown against the windshield.The car, which was a Cadallic, was very badly damaged.Last night Mr.Fuller returned to Granby, and this morning was in his office as usual apparently not much the worse for his experience.-¦\u2014+- COFFIN STORY IS DISCUSSED iSIl ÉÜ Irwji

Aug., 17.\u2014 British newspapers today were raising the question whether any legal penalty could be imposed in connection with yesterday\u2019s discovery that the coffin delivered at Waterloo station and alleged to contain the body of the late Lord Kitchener was empty.Some of the papers say that the police and home office officials are studying the entire affair with a view to determining whether anything punishable has been done.Frank Power, the British newspaperman, who was responsible for the story that Lord Kitchener\u2019s body was picked up off the coast of Norway after the

(Associated Press Despatch) CALGARY, Alta., Aug., 17.\u2014 (By Canadian Press) \u2014 \u201cEngland expected Canada to take its full measure of self-government within the Empire, but unless the relationship of Governor-General to Primo Minister in Canada was the same as King to Prime Minister in Great Britain, Canada\u2019s position was no better than a crown colony\u201d, Mr, Mackenzie King told his audience here last night.\u201cSuppose the King of England began to choose between parties, how long do you think the throne would remain as strong as it is today?\u201d he asked.It was the action of the Commons which determined the ministry that would advise the crown.\u201cThat is British constitutional practice, the minute you begin to depart from those rule's, the British Empire will begin to suffer a shock.The Empire will last as long as constitutional practice is carried on throughout the Dominions\u201d, said Mr.King.An abrupt attack was made on Hon.R.B.Bennett in the course of Mr.King\u2019s address.A press report from Woodstock, Ontario, quoting a speech made there by Mr.Bennett was read.The Minister of Finance had described Mr.King as \u201cthe greatest coward who ever held the office of prime minister of Canada\u201d.\u201cThat means that others\u2014Mr.Meighen and Sir Robert Borden\u2014 have been cowards, but I happen to be the greatest of the lot,\u201d said Mr.King.\u201cI think you know the type of man Mr.Bennett is.Any person who speaks like that on a public p.atform of a fellow member of ihu House of Commons\u2014there is one name you cannot apply to him and that is the name of gentleman.\u201cWhen you want to test a coin you rub the surface and see whether it is pure or alloy; it is the same with a gentleman.All you have to do is to rub Mr.Bennett to get him irritated and annoyed.Then wait and see what language he uses,\u201d said Mr.King, who continued to say that public demanded of its public men that they attempt to act like gentlemen before they go before the people of Canada.The smuggling situation had grown out of prohibition in the United States but there was no recoid of Mr.Meighen\u2019s government making an^ attempt to grapple with the border conditions, Mr.King declared.The Liberal government early in its life negotiated a treaty with the United States to combat the traffic in narcotics and the smuggling of liquor.Later, the government had co-operated with the commercial protective association for the suppression of smuggling generally.As for the dismissal of Bis-aillon\u2014who had been a Tory api pointee\u2014that was done by the Liberal government long before Mr.Stevens did anything in the matter of Customs.Of the charge of avoiding a vote of censure on the Customs matter, Mr.King said that there was ncr vote of censure.The advice to His Excellency was defended.Not since Confederation had a Governor-General refused dissolution to a Prime Minister.\u201cYou\u2019re not running away from a situation, when you are presenting your whole case before the public at large\u201d, said Mr.King.* THE WEATHER * «g»\t& ?>\t*>\t*î» «î* \u2022$* 4* *3i FAIR AND COOL Pressure is high over Northern Ontario, while a moderate depression is centred near Father Point, with a shallow trough of low extending southwestward across the lower St.Lawrence.The weather has been rather cool over the greater part of the Dominion, with showers in many districts from Ontario eastward, also in some southern sections.Forecast:\tModerate north and northeast winds;

eastern part of Compton County will present its best in the line of products of the farm.Compton County has long been a leader in agriculture.This applies particularly to the townships of Eaton and Compton.The pioneers who settled here were good judges of soil and made excelle.t choice of location.There was a time when the Compton herds of thoroughbred stock were famous.Conditions may have changed somewhat with the passing of the years, but many fine and well cultivated farms are to be found in the eastern part of Compton, represented by the exhibition that opens today.This inauguration of the fall fair season is earlier than usual, but the display of products will be none the less striking on that account.perty.\u201cIt is no light thing to throw your private property open to the curious gaze of the public seven days a week, to have your best tulips torn up like grass, your home entered and made free with in your absence, and your barns endangered by careless smokers, and take it all with equanimity.The sage of Kingsville endured it foi years, but the day came when he said, \u2018Enough\u2019.Who can blame him?\" .-\u2022- PARAGRAPHS HONORING THE PIONEERS.One section of the townships has taken de, finite steps to honor its pioneer settlers, namely, the eastern part of Stanstead township.The men and women who first settled in these Southern Quebec regions were a sturdy lot of people.Courage was required and they had it in abundance.They did not lack in perseverance or they would never have won their battle with the wilderness.Integrity of character marked these pioneer settlers.They were serious minded people.For six days they labored hard and on the seventh they rested.They reared large families and accomplished almost incredible tasks, in converting the primeval forests into smiling farm lands.The pioneer settlers of the Eastern Townships should not be forgotten for their example was of the sort that makes for good citizenship.A memorial on Dufferin Heights, overlooking the scenes of pioneer labor in that region, will be a worthy tribute from descendants, and will help to keep alive the memory of the old days.JACK MINER DRAWS THE LINE.Jack Miner, lover of birds, has decided to bar the public from his bird sanctuary on Sundays and declares that no exceptions will be made and that even Lloyd George and Calvin Coolidge need not apply.Mr- Miner states that he has been forced to take this step much against his will, but the lack of consideration for his grounds, property and home by the thousands of visitors who call upon him each year has necessitated his taking thir drastic action.\"There will be general sympathy and agreement with the Canadian naturalist in the action he has taken to ensure some measure of privacy in his life, particularly on Sunday,\" says the Toronto Globe.\"Mr.Miner believes that Sunday was given to man as a day of rest, and we agree with him.He is old-fashioned enough to want to go to church and Sunday school on the Sabbath Day, and we commend him, but the demands that were being made on him by thousands of non-churchgoers coming to see his home on Sundays broke even his long-suffering and patience, and resulted in a drastic protest.As an editorial in The Stratford Beacon-Herald points out, it can never be said that Jack Miner was stingy with his pro A man is as old as the tune he whistles.*\tV
