OR TELEGRAPH.Montreal, Jan.23\u2014Rumors that Sir ugh Graham, proprietor of the Monreal Star controls also the Montreal erald and the Daily Tciegraph were et today by a flat denial from Sir Hugh himself.; #1 assure you absolutely,\u201d he said la the course of an interview, \u201cthat | not own and control either the \u2018elegraphi or the Herald.\u201d Asked if he meant to say that he held no interest in either paper.Sir Hugh answered \u201cI did not say that.He added, in reply to fuether ques- tiors, that he understood Lorne Mc- Gibbon had sold his controlling interest in the Herald to certain parties, assure you,\u201d he said again, \u201cthat I own only this paper\u201d-meaning the Star.Nevertheless, the proprietors of the Star seemed to know, or to have heard a good deal about the plans of the propriétor, or proprictors, of the other two evening paperr.But he was careful to say that he was only expressing his own opinions.*C.Gordonsmith, manager of the Telegrapi Company, announced today that he was not ready to make a definite statement upon the contemplated changes.The name of J.Norton Griféths, (send of the big crntracting firm, has opments in Moritresi, but Be.= fiths stated this g be had not the slightest idea or conception of what was going on in that way.He said, however, that he had been offered large interests in newidpapers both in Canada and in England, including the control of the London Glebe, but he had not accepted any of these offers.ANTITRUST BILLS IN THE STATES LÉGISLATIVE PROGRAM OUTLINED; 80 FAR 18 NOT THE LAST WORD, J Wastungton, Jan, 23-The anii- trust legislative program as outlined in bills made public yesterday is not the last word in proposed remedial fegislation to regulate big business.That the tentative measures submitted may be altered or extended was emphasized today in both branches of congress, and the President let it be known that he did not consider the form of the bills drafted closed.Pursuant to the purpose of admin istration leaders to exhaust the sub- fect, it was determined by the House Judiciary and Senate Inter-State Commerce committees not to introduce at this tims.the measures relat- Ing to interlocking directorate prohibition, definition of restraints of trade and specification of \u201ccut throat\u201d competition.Hearings on the question are te be held befsre the bills go to congress.The Inter-State Trade Commission bill introduced yesterday will be taken yp next week by the House Inter-State and Foreign Commerce Committee, which may see fit to alter the provisions suggested by the Judiciary sub-committee and Senator Newlands, chairman of the Senate Inter-State Commerce Committee.The fifth of the proposed bills, that to suthorize federal regulation of railroad securities, probably will aot be drawn for several weeks.BRANTFORD SLAYER GOES TO GALLOWS JAMES TAYLOR, \u201cTHE SPANIARD,\u201d EXPIATES THE MURDER OF LITTLE CHARLIE DAWSON Brantford, Ont, Jan.23\u2014Ia a narrow hallway in the County Jail this morning, James Taylor, the half-breed who, last September murdered Charles Dawson, à 13 year old boy, and then horribly mutilated his body, leaving :t on the roadside, where it was found the next morning, was executed.Taylor, always of a sullen demeanor, bore up well until the end.Last night he showed signs of weakening, being quite sick until midnight, and beef tea and other non-intoxicat- ing stimulants wer administered, After midnight he slept fairly well, until about 4 o\u2019clock this morning, when, without being aroused he got up and dressed in his ordinary street clothes.All that he asked for breakfast was an egg, but when this, some toast, and beef tes were secured for him, he did not touch them.He had not a word to say before going to his death.When the executioner came to his cell he quietly rose and submitted to his hands being fastened behind his back, walking with firm step and bowed head, he then followed the bang man, a young fellow, who goes by the name of Jack Holmes, and whe has officiated at 28 vious hangings, into the death cell , Wis iritual advisar.rho had beso with m all night.Ks the bhick cap and noose were being adfustel Adjdtant Hargrove repeated the Twen ird Psalm, and when he reached the phrase, \u201cYea even though I walk through the valley of the sHadow of death,\u201d the trap was sprusg and the condemned man went to his doom.A slight struggle was perceptible as the rope tightened, but thére was-no twitching or struggling, Taylor having an easy death.- The trap was sprung at 8:07 and nine minutes later the jail surgeon pronounced the man dead.lt was some time later, however, before the body was cut down and the inquest held.The usual verdict was returned, and by previous arrangement the body was then handed qver to relatives to be interred in one of the | y al cemeteries instead of in the jail yard.as is the custom.THE SCHMIDT CASE.Jurors are in Receipt of Anonymous Letters.New York, Jan.23\u2014Because some one has been writing anonymously to jurors in the case, Justice Vernon M, Davis, of the Supreme Court, before whom Hans Schmidt, a former priest charged with the murder of AnnaAumulier, is on re-trial, today earnestly cautioned the jurors against discussing thie case with anyone and requested them to refrain from reading newspaper articles or communications relative to the crime, Justice Davis took this action after one of the jurors had handed him a letter postmarked Frooklyn, signed \u201cA Citizen,\u201d in whi h what the Justice characterized as an able medical argument, dealing with the Schmidt case was made.Whether it was for or against the defendant, the Justice would not say.The jurymen have been asked by him to turn over any other communications they may re- cetve.Witnesses who were heard today repeated testimony given in the first trial.Because of the fact that the defence has permitted the State to introduce all testimony of the first trial, the tase will be in the bands of the jury within a week, it is said.KR \u201cJOHNNIE THE ILMARNOCK WALKER\" LTANDA< SCOTCH WHISKY .$10,000, all of Montreal.DIPLOMAT SHOT

Party Question.The Herald says: \u201cThe gravity of the charges against certain members of the Quebec Legislature can scarcely be exaggerated.The scandal created by these charges must take rank as one of the worst in the unfortunately long series of scandals with which the political history of Canada has been smirched.\u201d \u201cOnly one course is possible under the éircumstances, one which, we have | no, doubt, the Governemint will follow.There miust be an immediate and searching investigation into the charges conducted not by one party but by the whole House.There can be no question of party under the present serous circumstances \u2014 the honor of the Legislature itself is involved and must be cleared no matter at what cost.\u201d \u201cThe methods by which evidence against Members of the Legislature was secured cannot, for the moment, enter irito consideration.That will be for later.What we are all concerned in at present is whether or not the very grave accusations brought against those members is true.If so their punishment will foliow, speedily and surely, at the hands of outraged public opinion.On: the other hand, those who have brought the charges are equally bound to make them good or to take the consequences which will be very serious.\u201d COMPULSORY VACCINATION .FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN.New York, Jan.23\u2014Compulsory vaccination for school

member of the Dominion commission on the high cost of living, in an address to the Empire Club this afternoon, \u201cdo we have to ransack the world to feed ourselves in Ontario?\u201d The speaker dealt with conditions in Prince Edward Island, which knew nothing of the hard times experienced by the rest of Canada.The reason was that in the Maritime provinces 84 per cent of the population was on the land.In British Columbia, which was feeling the pinch of hard times, only 48 per cent were on the farm.He urged that every theological college in the Dominion should provide special instruction in agricultural matters, and that every minister of the Gospel should know something of farming questions.RENE The Weather Toronto, Jan.23.-\u2014-The western disturbance is now passing across the Great

prevailed.It was recognized, then, that no degenerate country could produce such men as Labor, Zola and Picquartmen of whom it is not mere rhetoric to say that they were willing to sseri- fice their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor in behalf of an abstract principle of justice.Dreyfus had no personal claims upon any of them.The conspiracy against him had been engincered so adroitly that to defend him scemed au unpatriotic thing to do.And so profound and general was the sentiment against him, so powerful his enemies.that it seemed foolish as well as dangerous for any man to say a word in his defense.- The hardest thing in the world: for any man to do is to stand up for a prineiple against the unanimous sen- | timent of those around him.Picquart did this.Ie defied the narrowness and the prejudice of his frien@s and associates, the agrounege an weir | dice plus the niceness and pleasantness of these associates, and he did it though he felt that it meant his

a two-story wooden building covered with asbestos paper, at Nos 200 and 202 Montcalm street, St.Sauveur, four families were rendered homeless for the night as the damage by smoke and water makes the house uninhabitable uutil the necessar repairs are made.The families occupying the building are Joscph Pelletier, ar, Joseph Pelletier, jr., Mathias Pelletier, and Octave Pichette.The fire which broke out in the upper storey was caused by a little girl letting a lamp fall in a wardrobe.An alarm from box 144 at 7.29 o\u2019clock, summoned the firemen from three stations, and despite the headway which the flames had gained, they managed to extinguish the blaze within half an hour.There is considerable damage to the upper story by fire, but the most damage was caused by smoke and water.The four families found shelter for the night in the homes of relatives and friends, TOMORROW.\u2019 Leave not until February, what you can buy in January, for buying now at J.H.Mullins means 20 cents

people to know that by actual computation the output of SALADA from the Montreal Branch alone, for the year 1913.was equivalent to 30,- 000 one-hundred pound chests of Tea, which, if placed on top of the other would reach a distance of about 60,- 000 feet, or nearly 12 miles high.This may convey some slight idea of the enormous sale of the famous \u201cSalada\u201d Tea.OFFICERS ELECTED.On the

circumstances of delay, over which the contractor will not shoulder the blame.SPECIAL FUR SALE We are now offering a discount of 20% for cash off Baltic Seal and Persian Lamb coats, Our Mink Muffsand

Question were again debated by the Senate today, Senator Daniel, of St.John, N.B., Sir MacKenzie Bowell, of Belleville, Ont, and Domville of Rothesay, N.B., being the speakers.; Senator Daniel took issue with Sir George Ross, who, on Thursday, des- eribed the Senate 88 a noh-partisan body.\u201cHow can that be when there is an opposition in the Senate and Sir George himself is the leader?\u201d asked Senator Daniel, \u201cto whom is the opposition?It is opposition to the Government, The Senate should be an independent body and 1 favor making it independent of both parties.\u201d %enator Daniel urged that the political parties should come together on the question of defence.Sir MacKenzie Bowell referred to the cost of living problem.High wages went with the high prices and the only ones affected by the higher prices of necessaries were those on stat.d wages.Redistribution Question.With regard to re-distribution, Sir MacKenzie took issue with Sir George Ross who said the Senate had thrown out three distribution bills.He had looked up the record and had found that none of the bills thrown out had been general redistribution bills introduced constitutionally after a census.One was to take a single township from one riding to another to make a Liberal seat safe.It was introduced by a private member.The Senate had acted properly in throwing out these bills.A proper redistribution bill introduced constitutionally after a sensus was entitled to different treatment.Sir MacKenzie held that the reasons given by the Government for not Introducing the naval bill this session were satisfactory.Senator Domville urged that the Maritime Province ports be given justice by the Government and be treated.as generously as were west ern cities.He predicted that the people would demand satisfaction at the next election of the Protectionists, who were now clasping Canada like an octopus.The debate will continue Monday.RICHES OF WEST AFRICA.Some interesting particulars of the new trunk railway, the construction of which will form oge of \u201cthe: meat important features of Sir Frederick | Lugard\u2019s administration of Federatzd Nigeria are given by Reuter\u2019s Agency.The chan:e discovery of Port Harcourt, the coast terminus of the line, by Lieut.Hughes, R,N.R.the commander of the Government yacht Ivy, was made under dramatic cireum- stances, and the.fact that the projected railway will cut through the very heart of the mysterious and almost unknown centres of the strongest forms of juju and fetish worship should provide incidents which, as construction advances, will prove ust less exciting than those which attended the building of the Uganda Railway.The whole line, which will be 350 miles in length, of the standard African guage, is estimated to cost £3,- 000000, and to occupy four or five years in construction, For years past attention has been directed to the necessity for opening up a part of Africa which is not only the most thickly populated region on the continent, but also includes the richest palm oil belt in the world, and after the discovery of a coal-field at Udi extending for over a thousand square miles and yielding coal showing 75 per cent.of the value of the best Welsh coal, the question of a railway hecame more pressing.\u201d Recently Lieut.Hughes found a hitherto uncharted creek which to the surprise of all showed a depth of 50 feet of water alongside a precipitous cliff 45 feet high, a condition of things unknown anywhere between Sierra Leone and the Congo.On this discovery beirg reported.the governor, in March last, commissioned the Director of Railways and the Director of Marine to investigate the matter, and as 2 result it was established that the newly-discovered creek, though not shown on any map, is really the main channel of the Bonny River.A remarkable series of cliffs en- tending for three-quarters of a mile and averaging 45 feet above high water was discovered among the swamps.Opposite these cliffs soundings showed a depth of 70 feet of water, Armed with machetes, the Director of Railways, the Director of Marine and the commander of the Ivy landed, and by means of à rope ascended the cliffs and cot through a section of almost impenetrable growth twelve feet in height, Lieut, Hughes then ascended à tree to view the country.A few people were met, and it was discovered that no white man had been there before, Further investigation showed that the general conditions of the place were such ae had never been hoped for on the West African coast, and\u2019
