at the time of the escape.Failure of Reid to back him up wae his justification in uot making a fight.Reid's story was interpolated into Flowers\u2019 evidence, the older constable having requested a hearing.Reid had formerly withstood a seven hour greefling by the Commission which had justified him, but today he completely reversed his sworn statements.He was assured beforehand that his new statements would not be used in evidence against him.In the witness box Reid told how he personally kad given the rope, key and revolver to Krafchenko two days before the escape, while Flowers\u2019

Ottawa, Ont, Jan.21\u2014The Pacliament of Canada tuday paid tribute to the memory of Lord Strathcons when elogdent eulogies were spoken by Premier Borden and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in the House of Commons and an adjournment was made until three o'clock tomorrow.Similar honors were paid in the Senate.The remarks of the Premier and the Leader of the Opposition expressed the deep sense of loss felt throughout Canada at the death of a man so closely and intimately related with its public affairs for over half a century.Particular reference was made to earlier services rendered to Canada when he was plain Donald Smith, while fitting credit was given to his later services as representative of the Dominion in the Motherland.Premier's Appreciation.\u201cIt is fitting,\u201d said Mr.Borden \u201cThat we should pay a tribute to the memory of the great Canadian who passed away yesterday.I speak of Lord Strathcona as a Canadian because, although born across the sea, his life was almost altogether carried on in this country, to the service of which he consecrated many years of his life.He had a notable career.à career marked especially in its earlier years by conditions and difficulties more arduous than those which most men are called upon to meet.From 1838 when be first came to Canada, he aw what ong aight «all x complete transformation of the Nosghern half of this continent.He hid been a prominent figure in the public life of this country.before he undertook, at the age of 76, the duties of the high office of High Commissioner for Canada.I have known many men in my own life time who have been inspired by a high sense of duty, but I do not know of any man who has been in- spited by a higher conception of duty than was Lord Strathcona.Id al the time I have known him, and that was in the later years of his life, I was struck with the fact that time did not seem to have dimmed the freshness of his spirit, the vigor of his will or his strength of purpose.The duties of the office which he discharged were always important and sometimes delicate, and no man more than he had a high pride in this country in all that it has achieved and in all that it might achieve in the future.1 think that the example of his life might well be an inspiration to us Canadians.His earnestness of purpose may well serve as an example to us all.\u201d England's Tribute.Mr.Borden then read to the House 3 message which had been received by the Governor-General from the Secretary of State for the Colonies, conveying from the British Government to the people of Canada an expression of deep sympathy and paying tribute to the notable career of public usefulness of the late High Commissioner.\u201cHis memory is assured of an honored abiding place in the annals of the Dominion to which he devoted his faithful service to the end,\u201d was the concluding sentence of the message Laurier's Eulogy.Sir Wilirid Laurier, who followed, said that whatever was proposed or suggested by the Government to do honor to Lord Strathcona\u2019s memory could hardly express the regret which now prevailed from one end to the other end of this land.\u201cSince Sir John MacDonald's time\u201d he said, \u201cI do aot know that there has been any Canadian who, on departing this life, has left behind him such a trail of sorrow as Lord Strathcona.This universal sense of sorrow is a tribute only bestowed upon men of strong personality and to this class he undoubtedly belonged.Whereever he passed he created a, deep, à lasting and a profound impression.When he came to Canada, then only 18 years of age, all his possessions were the sound practical education of a Scottish lad and more than a full share of the characteristics of his race, keen business courage.caution and firmness, never loud and assertive hut never failing to stand as strong as adamant against all reverses and never spoiled even by the most phenomenal success.\u201d Influence in West.Sir Wilfrid recalled that when the | Territories of the North-West and Rupert$ Land were acquired bby Canada, Donald Smith.as he was then, had over these then distant territories, a paramount influence which was invaluable to Canada.It could be truly sald that, without that in- fluenen, the trancler which wes set ic than it connection would have been\u2019 mere: was.His services in would appess vever to never been too highly Ned.Similar service to ada\u2019 was rendered when he bent his whok trrind and gave his whole sou! to the préjest of have ing the Eastern Provinces connected by rail with the West, ft was a matter of history than in the construction of that railway, the CaP.R., he took a moat eminent path, it was: due to the splendid cograge of Lord Strathcona and his asgociates, who more than once ris!

career with which Canada today is so familiar, Subjecting himself to all the hardships and rigors, the privations and adventures common to the Hudson Bay Company outbosts along the northern fringe of Canzda, he surmounted every difficulty until he reached the high position in the gift of that most remarkable company,\u201d said Senator Lougheed.\u201cLord Strathcona\u2019s presence in London was an asset of inestimable value to Canada.His princely and lavish hospitality, his beneficience as a giver, his philanthropy in assisting and endowing great institutions in Canad sud elsewhere placed him in the fore: front of the great philanthropist of the age.\u201d Hon.Mr.Lougheed moved that out of respect the Senate should be adjourned.Sir Geo.Ross Seconds.In seconding this Sir George Ross said that one of Canada\u2019s greatest men had fallen by the way, \u201cIn such cases we usually say we stand in the shadow of a great career,\u201d he said.\"Today we do not stand in the shadow but in the luminous light of the greatest career of any Canadian with whom most of us have beyn acquaints ed.Of the various qualities which dinstinguished Lord Strathcona the first, to \u2018my mind, is the resolute purposes he showed from his earliest days to his latest hours.\u201d Sir George said he had first met Lord Strathcona when both were members of the Housr: of Commons in the session of 1873.Lord Strathcona was then in accord with the party in power but found it necessary as he thought to ally himself with the party in opposition.Evrryone knew it took courage to sever oneself from sil associstions.Lord Strathcona did so openly and manly.Senator Cloran paid a special tribute to the work of Lord Strathcona.When president of the Montres! St.Andrew's Society, he had brought the various societies of the Scotch.Engfish, French and Irish races frequently together and had done much to promote harmony and good relations among the various races, \u2019 The Senate adjourned until tomorrow afternoon.Co aie aie dé Ww } accomplished withest | bloodahad, À D 4 (Continued on Page Fous) , |amongst the ruins cf the fat \u2018stock LOSION AT OTTAWA KILLS THREE, RJURES Sx d ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS STRINGS OF HUNTERS IN \u2019 Ottawa, Jan.22\u2014After a conainu- ous seatch by a gang of forty aten building, which was wrecked by the explosion of a boiler at five minutes past\u2019 eight yesterday morning, it was given out officially that the list of dead still stood at three and the list of injured at six at ad early hour this.morning.One of the bodies, which is at Mac- Kenzie Brothers\u2019 undertaking rooms still remains unidentified.The other two have been positively identified as Napoleon St.Denis of 93 Victoria street, Hull, and John W.MacDonald, of 106 Kent street, Ottawa, The corrected list of killed and injured is as follows: : The Dead.Napoleon 8t.Denis, 93 Victoria street, Hull, aged 42, butcher, mar- vied;

ara conspiracy in Los Angeles.Associated with Biddinger \u2018 was George S.Sampson, also of the Bums agency, who figures as one of the incorporators of the Montreal Fair Association.\"The Daily Mail explains that there is no malice or un- | toward motive behind publication of the charges, \u201cbut merely :: the desire to do public service and sincerely regrets that in the ; doing of it, suffering may be inflicted upon some whom humanitarian motives alone might make it desirable to pass over.\u201d .Investigation was placed in the hands of George S.Sampson, Bums detective, who brought with him a score \u2018of assist: ~~ ants.He inaugurated the firm of Martin & Co, general con tractors, 52 Duluth building, Montreal, and it was there that the Daily Mail-alleges \u201cthe trap was baited, a dummy cons pany was incorporated in due form, a suite of rooms rented, while one Burns agent was set adrift in the City Hall, Samp-, - son, meanwhile posing as the head of the firm of Martin & Co.\u201d: ~ The Company then drafted the bill proposing to give them selves the right to sell liquor at fairs.;.According to the Daily Mai charges: \u201cThe vicious biB.! - Bo AE islative council by the law partner tlie vicious leginiation pasneë without-x thought for safeguard- \u2018 ing the rights of the people.This bill had right of way through »« : Quebec.The ways were greased within and without for its» à passage, while legislation of worthy character was allowed to: © © languish.\u201d .The bill thus passed, the Daily Mail alleges, enables the incorporators to do practically anything they please.They could run a lottery, prize fight, bar, dive, or horserace; they could operate a fair, plan real estate sub-divisions, build a railway or dig a subway.They could juggle stock, water bonds, :; run a bucket shop, or start a bank.And it went through thes: legislature like greased lightning, all the men named as incon\u2019 porators being in reality Bums detectives.- The dictaphone was employed and conversation alleged ; to back up the graft charges is registered by it.Among other ; things, the dictaphone shows that a Montreal lawyer told ° Sampson that the passage of the bill through the legislature - would not cost more than $1,500 or $2,000.The lawyer, says 5, the Mail, promised to look after things, but later the price was raised when it was seen that the company had a lot of money # to spend.= Tomorrow the Daily Mail promises to take up Lie story boy gue \u201cWhy so gloomy, friend?\u201d asked the Oracle, as he discovered us this morning studying out a problem in our finances.\u201cCome, cheer up!

possible moment, will provide three ships for the defence of \u2018the Empire and will also co-operate with the British Admiralty in any à ent it may be possible to forte for the reduction of arma- feet upon the future of responsible government in the Dominion was his declaration that the Government is prepared to consider the question of seforming the Senste to bring it into Sarmony with the popular will of the people.Until this is accomplished the gertizans in the Red Chamber will not Le given another opportunity to humiliate the Canadian people in the eges of the world.\u2018The declaration of the Premier is wivar sad consistent.As long as the need exists for Canada to bear her share of the Empire's burdens the Premier is determined that no politie- ol) considerations shall stand in the -\u2014ag of Hauidating the obligation, and in the manner suggested by the British Admiralty.At the some time, if tie Sen Lords are able to stay the armament r3¢s of other powers, com- patitors with Britain for the supremacy of the seas, Canadas will glediy _eweperate in whatever plan is pro \u201cgoed In either case, it is the Sever mination of the Conservative Govern sant, expressed through the Prime .Mimiséer, that Canade shall ot ail Ve found side by aide vid the ready te carry out the wishes of the British Goversment.That this 10 the trae puttiotie stand will a2 once appear to every Canadien.The burdens of Rapire have long boon ist policy of Sir , his handful of opportenists shrivels into insignificance.Rt.Hon.R.L.Barden has desided the Canadian Government shell fulfil the wish of the people and will ingly discharge Canada\u2019s obligations to the Empire.Measured in the light of such a broad, patriotic, stateaman- like policy, how mean and petty appears Sir Wilfrid Lanriers talk of emergencies created by armament trusts and tribute memey to Britain.The Canadian Premier and the Leader of the Liberal Opposition stood revealed the other day in their true col ors, the Premier as a patriotic and constructive Imperial statesman treating big questions from a big men\u2019s standpoint, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, ss ever, the opportunist and trifler, considering nothing but the party viewpoint, leaving the broad road of statesmanship for the twisted by-path of pertizan politics and small-bore criticiom, FACING ALL WAYS.When Sir Wilfrid Laurier staked his Goverament's life on the reciprocity pact he was net carried away by zeal to lower the codt of living.By opponents of the saet it was pointed out that, under the most-\u2018avored-na- tion clause of ¢xisting treaties by which Canad: was bound.foodstuffs from many agricuitaral countries would be entitled to enter Canada a» free of duty as those from the United States.Sir Wilfrid promptly pointed out that he had move.at the last Imperial Conference to have such treaties denounced in so far as Canada is concerned.He assured the Canadian people that the free entry of grain and meats from Argentine, grain from Russia and Tndla and other countries, would consequently soon be barred.This is the man who two years later professed to be a passionate pilgrim for free food.If he considers the opening of the United States market regrettable because of its tendéncy to make the cost of living higher here through the larger exportation of foodstuffs thereby induced, why did he propose in 1911 a policy which called for the opening of the United States market?Why did the present tilter at the high cost of living not content himself with lowering or abolishing the Canadian duties on foodstafis?Why did he make such a virtue of his en- desvors to get Canada out of its most- favored-mation agreements and try to seal up European and South American countries ss sources of free food?The answer is that at that time, when the cost of living was at the summit point, his chief efforts were to humbug the Canadian farmers with the idea that his policy would further en- bance the cost of living in this country by giving their products entrance to \u201cthe wider market\u201d across the line.And today, while he grows theatrical in the cause of lower prices for food- West cry, as be cried in 191), for the further opening of the United States rasrket, which, according to his prese ent talk, is already wide tnough to make the cost of living too high Where would he get his cheap food if the prices of feodstufis are so much higher across the line as to drain off supplies from the market?If there was any sincerity in his talk about the cost of living and the efficacy of tariff reduction to lower it beneficially, he would not have fought against the Borden Government's bill to create a Tariff Commission, and against the bill to aid in the construction of highways.But he used his majority in the Senate to assassinate both these measures.Cold Canes Headache and Grip LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE tablets remove cause.There is only One \u201cBROMO QUININL\u201d It has

become President or distator for the tome being.But what of Villa?Despatches from Mexico for the past few weeks have been bringing his name into more and more prominence.He is no longer considered as a mere bandit, though he is undoubtedly a bandit He appears to be the strongest leader against Huerta, and is today more certainly master of any other state in the country, and Chihuabua is the richest and most important of Mexico's provinces.Villa himself refers to Carranza as his chief, but Villas men have nothing to say about Carranza.They cheer for Villa, and fight because Villa feads them, not because Carranza is in commnsnd, When the tisie comes it is just possible that Villa will dispute with Carranza for mastery.He is well equipped to do so.His army is the best equipped and best trained among the various rebel forces.He has the finest artillery in Mexico.He is sufficiently ruthless, for he adopts the simple method of shooting all those wbo do not agree with him.He | professes to be acting in the interests of the people, and continues to opet- ate the confiscated railroads, estates stuffs, his bewildered followers in the and mines for their benefit.The people may not yet have received any dividends, but it is not plain that Villa has been \u201csalting down\u201d much for himself.He: is very much in earnest in his enmity to Huerta, but his interest is a personal one.Having been a friend of Madero, Villa hates Huerta.He and Huerta were associates for a time in Madero\u2019s army.but they disliked each other, and when Madero was murdered Villa seized the opportunity to once more tske the feld in opposition to his former comrade.If he has any specific ideas about public policy apart from the killing of his enemies it kas yet to be declared.Villa is a bandit at heart, whom unexpected success has made a great rebel leader, and should the campaign against Huerta succeed Villa might enjoy carrying on a war against Carranza rather than in assisting that chief to undertake the great work of recon- struction\u2014Toronto Mail.Wedding PERTE f + tin , English Hall-Marked Solid 5 | - Sliver Wares Sheffield Plate, Entree volving Dishes, Toa Sets

with a view to abolishing or restrict- ing the rights of appeal to the Privy Council, occasioned & rather interest ing debets during which diverse apinions were expressed is his motion, Mr.Tessier said thay there existed th hout Canadas a strong lecling that right of appeal to the Privy Council should be sbolished or at least restrained.He pointed to Australia, as a precedent, saying thet in that colony the right of 1 to the Privy Council had been abolished.Me.J.N.Francoeur, of Lotbiniere, whe shaved the opinions of the member fer Rimouski.thought that the abolition of the right of appeal from the Privy Council should be extended to the Supreme Court as well.Mr.A Bernier, of Leive, thought | that the question was premature, and , that the Bar of the Province of Quebec should be consulted.He asserted that appeal to the Privy Council should be maintained and he considered jurists with the learning and qualifications of those who composed the Privy Council were bettes qualified to administe® justice than the | judges of the highest courts im this country.Mr.Armand Zavergue, (Nationalist), was in favor of the motion, and be mentioned that such a principle was one accepted by the Nationalists of Canada.He thought the Canadian justices were as good as those of the Privy Council, and it was quite unnecessary to have their judgments revised by the gentlemen im Loadon.Mr.Galipeault of Bellechasse, was of opinion that the Privy Council offered no guarantee of justice te the Province of Quebec.Mr.Cousineau, (Montreal, Jacques- Cartier,) was opposed to the motion, because he thought that if the people behind it were serious they should have introduced a Bill abolishing the right of appeal.He thought that would have been better than introducing useless motions.Mr.Perron moved to adjourn the debate which was carried by $3 to 1S.Evening Sieting At the evening sitting the House spent the first hour studying private legislation during which the bill to incorporate the village of Norway Bay was killed The House afterwards concurred in the amendments made the Upper House to a number of other private messures.The remainder of the sitting, which lasted until after midnight was taken up in à disucssion on the bill relating to Succession duties, which was slated for third reading, but which was adjourned on motion of Mr.Berube, of Temiscotata, after a motion for a six months\u2019 hoist kad been proposed by Mr.Cousineau, of Jacques Cartier.It was evidently the intention of the government to get the bill put through last night, but the Opposition during the debate reminded the Liberals of the constant promises not to,| tax, and, therefore, prevented the third reading of the measure.An important amendment proposed by Mr.Tellier was defeated by a vote of 38 to 15.The amendment read as follows: \u201cTo completely exempt from taxes all portions of legacies in direct line, or between husband and wife, which do not exceed three thousand dollars even though the net value of the entire succession exceeds fiften thousand dollars.\u201d BI-MONTHLY PAY FOR RAILROAD MEN.Ottawa, Ont, Jan.21\u2014Mederic Martin of Montreal, today introduced the bill which he has had before the Commons in past sessions, providing for bi-monthly pay for railroads.J.A.Sinclair, of Guysboro, introduced a bill providing that captains constiag licenses shall be rmitted to sail as far south as the iver La Plata.By an act of some years ago, they were not allowed tur- ther south than Cape Hatteras.This was later extended to the, Amazon But extension of trade now calls for further extending the point to which BOTH PARTIES PH IBM TRBUTE TO LORD STRATHCON (Continued from Page One) THE EMPIRE'S LOGS.\u2014 He Lived to the Might of Great Occasions, Says The Timea London, Jan.21\u2014Tha Empire's loss in the death of Lord Strathcona is the theme on everyone's lips this morning.The Government offices of all the Dominion, is Victoria street, show flags at half-mast, also the Canadian railway, steamships, the emigration centres, in Teafalgar Square and ncinghborhood, and the Royal Colonial Institute.The news of his death reached Fleet street when the journals were already om the machines, but The Times, The Daily.Mail, The Standard and some others, publish special second editions with sympathetic, highly tulogistic memoirs.\u2018The Times says: \u201cThe devotion of all his energies to a task of such Im- Jerial importance, as the High Com- \u2018missionership is a shining example of his public spirit and personal self- sacrifice.\u201d ;
