the Vote in a Federal General Election\u2014Parlia- ment Might Be in Difficulties if Dissolution Came Now Ottawa, Ont, March 25\u2014In the House this afternoon, Heh.Hugh Guthrie moved for second reading of the franchise blil.He said it was doubtful at the present If there was any valid measure for taking the vote in a Federal general election.Parliament might find ipself in a difficult position if dissolution took place at the present time.There was a bye-election act under which bye-elections were at the present time being conducted.However, time would not serve for a general election.Mr.Guthrie dealt with the changes in the election act which were made to meet war conditions.The War-Times Election Act and the Military Voters\u2019 Act, had been given the support of Parliament.They were, however, passed.for the purpose of taking the vote under certain specific conditions which did not obtain at the present time.Hon.Mr.Guthrie, after dealing with the technicalities involved in the acim referred to, among which was the fact that Canada is not yet legally at peace with Ilulgaria, said the proposed bill was of a three-fold nature.Firgt it sought to provide a uniform franchise throughout the whole of Canada: secondly, it sought to provide a-uniform-method for the preparation of vote\u2019 lista throughout Canada: and thirdiy, It sought to rrovide uniform election machinery.The importance of all these three nointe, thoukh combined in ons bill, would readi'y be »ypreciated hy the Mouse.To secure a uniform fran.chine for the whole of Canada, with Its diverse intercets, ita widely scattered popu\u2019dtion and its vastness of territory.was Indeed a problem of great magnitude and corhplexity.The bill was designed to have universal operation without.or almost without, #pecial limitations or any epeclal exceptions.He realized that in its present form the bill represented the policy of the Government, yet the Government had not adopted the law of the Medes and Prraians and would not hesitate lo consider any suggested amendment from any sec tion of the House.Provincial Rights.The Leader of the Opposition, said Mr.Guthrie, had intimated in a speech some time ago that he expected the Government to adopt Provincial voters\u2019 lists in Its new franchise legislation.It would probably be advocated, maid the Minister, that the right to prepare volers' lists fay with the Provinces and not with the Federal House, Mr.Guthrie quoted the British\u2019 North America : Act to prove that this was not the case.The franchise qualifications, he sald.were practically uniform in al! the Provinces of the Dominion, and |\" thers was no real obstacle to the establishment by Federal! enactment of a uniform principle of franchises In Canada.Mr.Guthrie sald that In 1908 the liberal administration recognized that the franchise was a Dominion matter, for In certain of the Prov.Incee\u2014British Columbir, Manitoba, and Ontario, which had returned Conservative provincial administra.tions\u2014the Provincial lists were set aside.One of the essentials of a good election law, Mr.Guthrie proceeded.was up-to-date electoral lists; and such lists, he submitted, would be provided under the present bill, Mr.Guthrie held that it was the right of the Dominion Government to fix the law In regard to the vaters\u2019 lists.Under the proposed measure, provincial lists would be utilized when the ywere not more than one year old and thers would be the power to add names to them or strike names off if such changes should be made to bring the list up- to-date.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u2014 Dealing with the provisions in the bill for manhood and womanhood suffrage, the Minister said that these were being extended to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Islandwhere property qualifications were still required of voters.In the Province of Quebec, a woman was given the same right to vote as man.There waa no compulsory voting clause in the bill.If a woman from Quebec had the right to att in the House as a representa tive of any constituency surely she should be given the right to vote.In regard to the clause providing for the appointment of returning officers by the Governor-In-Councit which was retained, Mr.Guthrie sald he: thought it was quite proper as the (Government of the day was responsible for the conduct of an election, No Hidden Joker.Dealing with the method of regulation in urban sections, Mr.Guthrie said that, assuming for the sake of argument, that a registrar was dls- honest, no man could be deprived of his vote by the action of this regia.trar.The voter always had the right to appeal to a judge and the latter had absolute and unfettered discretion in deciding whether he should vote.In rural sections, every veter could go to the poll and cast h's ballot.If any man In a rural con.«tituency Jost his vote, he only bad himself to blame, The Government, said Mr.Guthrie, was trying to be absolutely fair in the bill before the House.It had been intimated tha! the bill might contain \u201ca joker.\u201d which would operate to the advantage of the Government.\"If any one can discover this sa.ralled joker in the hill\u201d said Mr Guthrie, \u201clet him point it out and it will be removed.\u201d He stated that the c'ause regarding rural voting and permitting every person to cast their ballot, wan not insertrd for the benefit of the Government.If the Opposition object.od to it, It could be deleted from the bin, Referring to the appointment of returning officers, Mr, Guthrie was opporcd tv this work being done by Judges.If these appointments were made through the judiciary, some time.In some places, something would xo wrong.and then the judge would be blamed.\u201cWe don\u2019t want the judicial robes to he trailing through the election mire,\u201d said Mr.Guthrie, Thorefore.and because there were practically no cases of corruption through returning officers, the Govermment proposed to appoint them.Guthrie Congratulated Hon, W.MacKenzie-King, vongristulated Mr, Guthrie on his ex.coptionally clear, tuvld amd most comprehensive address.Tie Leader of the Opposition did not agree, however, with Mr.Guthrie that he, Mr.King, had at any tine disputed the right of- the Federal House to derl with Federal franchise matters.He welcomed the spirit of the Govermment in asking for any sugges.sions which would aim to make.thia a bit which would be & model fur all future elections, s0 far as the (ranchise was concerned.He was indeed glad to say that the Opposition would in no way attempt to make it a political football or a matter of party politic one way or the other.Mter referring to the effects of the war upon society, which, he mid, had been shaken to the very roots, Mr.King sald he was indeed gad that @ franchise act had been brought in now because it would tend to restore the confidence of the people In the institution of government ftaeM, which confidence had (Continued on Page Three) Use Flowers on the dining table.This is the plentiful season.Largest Retail Florists in Canada Montreal and Quebec

tonight that the miners\u2019 strike will be averted.Negotiations have been resumed with the Government which has submitted a slightly modified ofter.While; this 1s considered not llkely to at-| tect the miner's views, it indicates « spirit of conciliation, and negotiations will continue tomorrow.Prior to the announcement of Premier Lioyd-George that he again would recelve the delegates of the coal miners, If they so desired, to take up the disputed points in the Wage controversy, the morning | newspapers today took a grave view concerning the coal situation.They declared that if the last word had been sald a strike within three weeks, with a resultant stoppage of the entire industry of the cuun- try, was inevitable.The situation, however, does not seem to be entirely clear, and sume of the newspapers call on the Government for fuller Information.The newspapers opposed to the Guverament charge that the administration is mishandling the whole coal situation and Is failing tu keep falth with the miners.They asert that the question is & very complicated one, largely owing to the varying aims of miners in the different coal tlelds.The South Wales men, who are said to be receiving the highest wages, are accused in some quarters of \u201cspoiling\u201d for a fight and to be playing their own hand against the other miners and forcing the: pace.The Daily Sketch says it has.learned that Premier Lloyd Geuf:e' has decided eventually to couvede the miners their full demands, providing they agree to re-establish payment according to output.But, the newspaper adds, the men strenuously oppose thins.The newspaper\u2019 asserts that the industrial outlook is turther darkened by the trouble with the railroads.which is receg- nized as holding dangerous possibilities.Mr.Lloyd George, answering questions In the House of Commons this afternoon with regard to the Government's negotiations with the coal miners, said he could not usefully make a statement at present regarding the action contemplated by the Government tu stop exports and unneceseary cursump- tion of coal throughout the country if the negotiations broke down.The I'remier also said there was absolutely no truth in reports that the Government had made arrangements to blockade the mining districts or mobilize the military.He expressed the hope that the House \u201cwill not accept these wild and mischievous slatements\u201d as there Is not a word of truth\u2019 in then.LABOR CONFERENCE IN GENEVA NEXT YEAR 1 Hon.__ QUE ÉBEC, FRIDA YOIGED STRONS OBJECTIONS TU FRANCHISE BILL Evening Session Was Marked by Unruly and Very Bitter Debate MISINTERPRETATIONS Hon.Arthur Meighen to Make .Statement on Disenfranchising Clauses Ottawa, March 25\u2014 (By Canalian Press).\u2014Before the debate on the second reading of the Franchise Bill is resumed tomorrow, Hon.Arthur Meighen, Minister of the Interior, will make a statement as to the ef- tect of the distranchising clauses in the bill.Interpretations placed on ithe clauses during today's debate are it Is understood, not In accordance with the intentions of the Government when the bill was framed.Mr.Meighen, it is proposed, will therefore, state the Government's position in the matter.| Mr.Fielding who adjourned the debate, has.it is understuod, con- sehted to give place to Mr.Melghen for this purpose.When the new chise Bill Dominion Franwhich was launched by Hugh Guthrie, Solicitor-Gen- eral, some few days ago, came up for second reading in the House, its course during the afternoon was fairly smooth, but in the evening the going was not so good, for the new act F.RR.Pardee, former Liberal whip, who joined the Unionist arty on the conscription issue, and returned to Liberal ranks on the close of the war, voiced the strongest vbjections to the disfranchising features of the bill.lle declared that (the Government was depriving people of the vote for ten long years and in many cases the only crime of thess people was that their mother was an alien.The disqualifi- \u2018cations contained in the War Times «Election Act were not a patch on those contained In this Dr.Edwards (Frontenac), precl- pitated a riot of protest from the Opposition by remarking that the support given Mr.l\u2019ardee by members of the Opposition.and especially the member for Kamouraske, proved that his argument was very faulty.For some minutes a chorus of \u201cOrder,\u201d drowned the Speaker's.voire, and when it died down, Mr, Lapointe was heard to say ahead, spill your bile,\u201d Speaker Iihodes asked tha speakers he not interrupted.and the courtesies of debate must be observed.Dr.Edwards remarked that he did not expect courtesy from the Opposition benches and especially not from Mr.Lapointe.Another chorus of protests greeted the sally and finally Speaker llhodes asked the House to remember that a debate on the Franchise Bill could not be conduet- cd under such conditions in the House,

phywiclan stabbed to death and the \u201cpatient\u201d strangled.The police, who at first were unable to identify the \u201cpatient\u201d, learned later that the physician had been hastily called to

\u201cpatient\u201d while fighting off his assallants and then was stabbed by the man who lured him into the trap.The murderer apparently lost his nerve, the police believe, and failed to earry out the robbery, for a large sum of money and a gold watch were found on the physician's body.Frank Ambrose, a roomer in the house, told ths police he mw Dr.Campisl enter the house with another man who seemed to be greatly Shortly after the phy- n arrived, Ambrose sald he heard the noise of breaking glass.A few minutes later the man who ac- esmpanied the phywiclan left the place hurriedly and ran

bed.Examination of the body on the bed showed the man had been choked to death.No wounds were found The phywiclan had been stabbed in the neck and mouth.Mrs.Dorothy Parker, who conducts the rooming
