RECEIVE DEPUTATION RE G.T.P.BRANCH TO MONTREAL.= 2 A letter from Sir Wilfrid Laurier was received at yesterday afternoon's meeting of the Board of Trade Council, stating that he would be glad to receive a deputation from the Board of Trade to present the board\u2019s petition which was adopted at the recent general meeting, with regard to advocating the construction of a branch of the National Transcontinental Railwav to Montreal.No date was fixed for the reception of this deputation, but it is expected that it will leave for Ottawa early next week.Therd was a long discussion on the proposal to hold an international exhibition in Montreal in two or three years\u2019 time.In the end the Louncil was quite non-committal, and merely decided to endorse the application of the City Council for such amendments to its charter as would enable it to aid such a project, if at any time such a course should appear proper.r.James Brodie, assistant commissioner of the Canadian Government Exhibition Commission, introduced the subject.He has, in his official capacity, attended such exhibitions at ublin, Milan, Liege, and other European cities.He strongly urged the advisability of having such an exhibition at Montreal.He pointed out that no international exhibition had yet been held in Canada, although this country had sent very extensive exhibits to many foreign countries, and there was much interest displayed in Canadian affairs all through Europe.: He considered that there would undoubtedly be large exhibits at such a show from most of the European and other countries, as well as other parts of the British Empire, while the position of Montreal would draw a great number of visitors from both Europe and the United States.All this, he argued, would tend greatly to the advantage of Canada in general, and Montreal in particular.In fact, it was pointed out that such an exhibition, using many large buildings, might very possibly furnish the nucleus for an annual exhibition here, which has been discussed for years past.As to the financial part of the affair, Mr.Brodie thought that the failure of the last few international exhibitions in the United States was largely due to the typically extravagant way in which they were conducted.From his own very extensive experience in the exhibition line, he expressed a conviction that with proper aid from the Domini, provincial and city governments there was nothing to prevent the exhibition being a financial, as well as a national success.Eight persons were admitted to membership of the Board of Trade, as follows: \u2014 Messrs.C.H.R.Cocq, manager the Blue Ribbon Tea Company; H.H.(salt.the Guttapercha & Rubber Manufacturing Company; Octavien Rolland, of the Rolland Paper Company; Lawford Grant, British Insulated & Helsby Cables, Ltd.; H.Fortier, of Messrs.C.Gratton & Co.; F.Loomis, of Messrs.D.\u2014 C.Loomis & Sons; S.H.C.Miner; Carl Rosenberg, of the British American Import Company.| Those attending the meeting were Messrs.Thos.J.Drummond, president; Farquhar Robertson, first vice-president; A.A.Ayer, Jeffrey H.Burland, J.8.N.Dougall, Wm.Hanson, D.C.Macarow, J.P.Mullarkey, Alex.Orsali, R.Wilson Reford, and Norman Wight.W.F, BAKER WAS POISONED \u2014\u2014\u2014 JURY FINDS THAT WEALTHY BOSTON MAN WAS MURDERED.LE Hackensack, N.J., March 25.\u2014The coroner\u2019s jury in the inquest on the death of Walter Farnsworth Baker, which occurred at Bogota on Oct.27, 1907, tô- right returned a verdict finding that Paker died from arsenical poisoning administered by some person or persons unknown to the jury.; Mr.Baker, who made his home with the family of Frank H.Hurd, in Bogota, came from Boston and was possessed of considerable wealth.On the night of Oct.26 he went to New York City, accompanied by a party of friends.Baker left the others of the party upon reaching New York, and was not seen by them again until several hours later, and after he had been taken ill.Re- Joining his friends, he was hurried home, and died about an hour after Bogota was reached.Mr.Baker's associates during lhe evening preceding his death are unknown.Between the time that Mr.Baker left his friends early in the evening, and midnight, when he sent for them, he drank a poisoned beverage, according to the testimony of the medical experts who made the autopsy.In view of the fact that it had been found im- pcssible thus far to trace the young man\u2019s movements during the period in question, it is understood that Prosecutor Koester considers that it would be a waste of time to present the case to the grand jury.Edward F.Baker, of Boston, a brother of the younger man, it was sald to-night, will continue his investigation, in the hopes of determining the identity of his brother's companions during the few hours that preceded his illnéss.rer BEAUTY AND STRENQTH OF CANADIAN CITIES WHAT MR.KIPLING HAS TO SAY (Canadian Associated Press.)

the second tender from the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company, is in the shape of an offer to submit the question of lighting oo charges to a committee of arbitration, composed of three members, one nominated by the company, a second by the City Council, and the third by a committee representing the Board of Trade and the Chambre de Commerce, with the intention that they shall arrive at the basis of a sliding scale both for gas and electricity.Alderman Mercier said it was absolutely necessary that the question should be placed before the City Council, with a view of a vote one way or anether, He had drawn up a proposition for the consideration of the committee, the members of which could accept, amend or rejegt it, as they thought best in the interests of the city.He reminded the meeting that Mr.Robert had stated in his tender that unless it was accepted before Jan.15 last, it would be necessary that eighteen months be allowed him to instal a system for the lighting of the streets.As the existing contract for the light- mg of the city streets, squares, etc., expires pn the last day of the present year 1t was obviously impossible for the Robert syndicate to be ready to take over the street lighting on the termination of the present contract, even if the city was willing to give it to them.His motion, therefore, took this fact into consideration, and he proposed : (1) That the suggestion of the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company be accepted for the appointment of a committee of arbitration to consider the question of a fair basis of charges for the lighting of the city streets, squares, etc., with a view of the contract for this lighting being renewed with the company as from Jan.1 next.(2) That as regards the supply of gas for light, heat, and industrial purposes a committee of the City Council be nom- mated to meet the officials of the company with a view to arriving at an understanding regarding the basis of a sliding scale of charges, the civic committee to be composed of Mayor Payette, Aldermen Yates, L.A.Lapointe, David, Lavallée, Lariviere, Clearihue, and Ald.Mercier, as mover of the proposition.(3) That the offer of E.À Robert and associates be accepted for the supply of electric light and energy to the citizens at prices which shall not exceed those named in their, tender, and on conditions which inclufle the placing of all wires underground when the company is called on so to do, that there shall be no amalgamation with the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company, that $50,000 shall be deposited with the city treasurer as security, and that a percentage of gross takings be paid to the city on the same basis that other companies pay for the use of the streets.The prices enumerated in the Robert Syndicate tender are to the following et- fect :\u2014Incandescent lights, ten cents per kilowat hour, with a cash discount of five percent for payment in ten days on a contract for a term of one year or over, and ten percent for payment within ten days on contracts for five years; electric power for heating and industrial purposes, if used from 7 a.m.to 6 p.m., $35 to $25 per horse-power, according to the quantity used; for the twenty-four hour rate the prices vary from $40 to $25, according to quant- ties.Ald.Mercier.street\u201421 story brick cottage, { Aldermen Mercier added that according to the terms of his motion the city would be giving the opportunity for competition for the supply of electricity that so many citizens had demanded.FOR SALE AT ST.LAMBERT Self-contained House, hot water heating, electric lighted, 6 bedrooms.Lot 90 x 90.Garden, with fruit and flowers.Will be sold cheap.Small cash payment, and easy terms for balance.A.W.D.HOWELL, 212 St.James street- Power Inspect the offices to let, THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS Stop Those Headaches.Headache and neuralgia are pronounced signs of blood poisoning.This poisoning of the blood comes from the waste matter of the body being left in the system, inetead of being regularly car- lried off by the bowels, kidneys and skin.: When the bowels do not move regularly, the refusa is absorbed by the blood.Thus, the blood is loaded with foul poisons which irritate the nerves.Poor skin action also causes headache and neuralgia.Impurities cannot escape through the skin, so the blood must take them up and deposit them on the nerves.¥f the bowels and skin are not ridding the system of waste, the kidneys try to do so and atre overworked.There is just one way to cure headaches and neuralgia\u2014to regulate bowels, kidneys and skin so that all the poisons of the body will be properly carried off.\u2018Fruit-a-tives\u2019 keep blood pure and rich\u2014relieve the stomach and kidncys\u2014 regulate the bowels; and invigorate the skin to healthy action.\u2018Fruit-a-tives\u2019 are a wonderful discovery, being a combination of fruit juices and tonics.Fifty cents a box\u2014six for $2.50.At all dealers, or from \u2018Fruit-a-tives\u2019 Limited, Ottawa.A read = The city had everything to gain\u2018 and nothing to lose by granting this privilege, which he would have accorded to any company that might have come forward to claim it.If the Robert Company did not come in, or if it ceased to do business, the city would not be In a worse position than it is to-day.Alderman Laviolette said the proposition was of such a character that it was hardly to be expected that committee would be ready to either adopt or re- Ject it without special o portunity being afforded for special study.Alderman Yates, the chairman, agreed, and it was accordingly reselved to adjourn the meeting until Saturday morning, and in the meantime Alder: man Mercier undertook to supply every member of the committee with a copy of his motion, In view of the importance of the foregoing question, it was deemed desirable that every member of the committee should be present at the meeting.Therefore the proceedings, which commenced at the City Hall with the transaction of matters of routine, etc., were adjourned to the house of Alderman Yates, who 18 Still confined to his room as a result of His accident ten weeks ago.At the City Hall, Alderman Gallery renewed his agitation for a better light from certain street lamps.He argued that if a proper test were made, these lights would be found below the standard of the contract.Mr.Parent, the lighting superintendent, however, maintained that these lights were according to standard, whereas the more powerful lights were above the contract kilowat power.Alderman Gallery expressed his doubts about that, and added that he hoped the committee would eventually devise some means to have a test made of the different lamps, A somewhat lively discussion took place over the question of the payment of the two medical officers of the fire department, Doctors Morrison and La- moureux.In the annual appropriations a sum of $1,400 was voted for medical services, and Ald.Laviolette now endeavored to place the salary of Dr.La- moureux at $800 for the year, which would leave only $600 for Dr.Morrison.Alderman Gallery objected that this would be unfair and contrary to the agreement when the appropriations were voted, namely, that the salaries of the two doctors should be equal.He maintained, moreover, that the committee could not legally make such change in the salary of a permanent official of the city, as Alderman Laviolette proposed.The motion was therefore postponed.The committee decided to advertise for tenders for thersupply of a telegraph tire alarm apparatus for the new fire station on Berthélet street.rat HOW TO INCREASE MARKET FEES.At a meeting of the Markets Committee yesterday afternoon, a trader named Joseph Beaulieu, complained that the city was losing money by the non- collection of fees from farmers who came to the city and sold their produce on the wharves, in the streets, and at the railway stations.He offered $5,- 000 for the privilege of collecting all the fees in question.The chairman, Ald.Levy, replied that the committee had no right to dispose of +h~ market fees in that way.If there was any infraction of the laws, he would do what he could to put a stop to it.It was decided to ask for $1,000 to carry on the work of a \u2018more efficient inspection.On the suggestion of the chairman, it was resolved to ask that the control of the abattoirs be placed under the committee, which, it was argued, was in a better position to look after them than the Finance Committee.Building ~ OFFICES TO LET singly or en suite, in this modern and well equipped Office Building.Apply Room No.304 Cor.Craig and St.Urbain Sts.\u201801 MY POOR HEAD] Stock-Taking Sale \u201cSPIRAL PEN RACKS.recu 5 0000 us 8 ots.en a pa a iia Nt ANOTHER CARLOAD OF CALIFORNIA ORANGES Prices remain the same\u2014only Our Sale is %till going on as merrily as ever, 25¢.per dozen, $2.90 case.Fine, Large Seedless California Oranges, sweet and juicy, even better than our last lot.Only 26c dozen.People who have had our Oranges before should try some of this lot.You will find them even better than anything we have yet offered\u201425c dozen, $2.90 case.So much for Oranges, now we would like to have you all try scme of our other lines such as FANCY AND STAPLE GROCERIES We think our prices will interest you, and we are quite surc you will always find the quality right.: Our catalogue will be sent to you on application.;

RE SCO Re pm SES THE HILL INCIDENT, American State Department Surprised, as German Foreign Office Sent Cordial Reply .to Overtures When Mr.Tower Resigned.THE EMPEROR'S OBJECTION RELATED TO PRINCE HENRY\u2019S VISIT WHEN MR.HILL WAS ASSISTANT SECRE- © TARY OF STATE.Washington, March 26\u2014In reference to the objection to Dr.David Jayne Hill as American ambassador to Berlin, raised by the Kaiser and the German Government, a perplexing feature of the case 1s presented by the fact that last November the German Government let it be known that Dr.Hill would be cordially received as United States ambassador to Germany.At that time Ambassador Tower, after the President had sought in valn to dissuade him from such = course, reached the decision that proper consideration for his private business interests and the welfare of his children, whose education he deemed it necessary to perfect in America, obliged him to insist upon the acceptance of his resignation.Dr.Hill was selected to fill the vacancy for two reasons\u2014first, because of his rank in the world of literature and diplomacy, and second because his promotion would be in execution of Secretary Root\u2019s cherished plan for the application of the principues of civil-service reform to the diplomatic service.For two years preceding.Dr.Hill had been an American minister, first accredited to Switzerland and then to The Hague.He was engaged in literary work covering the entire history of the world\u2019s diplomacy, and these two posts afforded exceptional advantages for the procurement of the great mass of material required for the work.As that task neared completion, Dr.Hill was willing to abandon the field tor the higher diplomatic post of Berlin, and the German Foreign Office cordially responded to the usual overtures from the State Department here as to his availability for appointment as ambassador.\"So to-day\u2019s decision of the German Emperor has come as a complete surprise to, official Washington.It is nevertheless final, as far as Dr.Hill is concerned, for the etiquette that governs international relations does not permit of any question of the right of a sovereign to interpose an objection to the reception of anv official who comes to his post in the extraordinary and personal character of ambassador./ MR.HILL'S CAREER.David Jayne Hill has for many years been regarded as an authority on international law.As President ot Rochester University, he made that subject a specialty, and was the author of several works and lectures thereon.He entered the service of the State Department on October 25, 1898, as assistant secretary of state, under the Administration of the late Secretary Hay.His record in the State Department was that of an effi cient officer, and during the frequent illnesses and absences of Secretary Hay he discharged the responsible duties of the head of the State Department in a manner that elicited the commendation of the late President McKinley.President Roosevelt also had a high estimation of Dr.Hill's ability, and it was with some reluctance that he yielded to the doctor's desire to go abroad, and allowed him to leave the State Department to become minister \u2018to Switzerland on January 7, 1903.He was transferred to The Hague on March 15, 1905, in compliance with his own desire to participate in the proceedings of the second Peace Conference, which project was then under discussion.He was one of the American delegates to that conference, and took a leading part in the presentation of the American While in Washington, Dr.Hill and his wife filled an important place in the social hfe of the capital.Dr.Hill wrote a good deal of a political character.During the McKinley campaign he wrote and spoke frequently, and his brochures figured extensively in the Roosevelt campaign.He wrote largely upon matters relating to the protective tariff, which suggests that possibly therein may be found the germ of the objec: tion now lodged against him, The only incident of Prince Henry's Visit in 1802, 1n which De.Hill figured, that could be recalled to-day, was at the launching of the yacht * Meteor,\u2019 which was christened by Miss Alice Roosevelt at Shooter's Vandy, On that occasion Gen, Brooke, U.3.8, then in command of the Department of the East, and Admiral Barker, U.NS.N., boarded the Kaiser\u2019s new schooner before Dr.Von Holleben and the attachés of the Ger- nan embassy at Washington.The ambassador and his suite were waiting at the east end of the pier shed to be told when the Prince had gone on board.But Dr.Von Holleben did not get lus information in time Lo present himself to the Prince before the American general and admiral had paid their respects.It was said at the time that the army and navy representatives had been guilty of a breach of etiquette in preceding the ambassador.and the episode caused considerable comment at the time and much concern on the part of the officials who were charged with the details of the ceremon Dr.Hill was then assistant secretary of state, and the matter was referred to him for an official ruling.He, too, seemed to be perturbed by the unexpected responsibility thrust upon him, but he made inquiries and his comment on the affair was: \u201c Well, it is all right.There has been no breach of etiquette.\u2019 In the issue of \u2018 Who's Who in America\u2019 for 1907-08, which came from the press but a few days ago, Dr.Hill is credited with being ambassador at Berlin.In the course of the biographical Germany, 11 Embassy,

-RYING.5 - When the Pacific Express arrived at the Windsor Street Station this morning a dark-eyed, swarthy ltalian workman, with three tiny children hanging on to his coat tails, and a mysterious bundle in bis arms, alighted on the platform.He looked around the station in bewl- derment tor a while, and then inquired of the attendants if there was any place in which he could stay with his children until the train goes out this evening for New York, The troubled demeanor of the man, and the awkward care with which he carried the bundle in his arms caused some questioning, and in reply the man, to the astonishment of the attendants, unwrapped his bundle and exhibited a new-born baby.\u201cWhere did you get that?he was asked.\u2018It is mine,\u201d he replied.\u2018Yes, but where's the mother?\u2018She is dead.\u2019 i In good English the man told his sad story.He was, he said, a naturalized American citizen, but had been working during the past winter in the coal mines in Alberta.Ten days ago his wife died in giving birth to the baby.He buried her away in Alberta, and was now taking the baby and his three other little children to his sister in New York.At this point the newly-born baby burst l into a loud squall, as if to show that iY was very much alive, despite 1t3 tender\\ age.The father tried in vain to comfort it.and half a dozen of the station staff stood around, and scratched their heads in perplexity as to what ought to be done.There was not a single woman anywhere in sight to offer a suggestion.; Finally the fatherly Richards hit upon an idea.\u201cWhat have you been feeding the poor little thing with?he asked.; The man produced a feeding bottle, half-filled with cold and anparently sour milk.Richards emphatically condemned the stuff on the spot.; = \u2018Don\u2019t give it any more,\u2019 he said.\u2018I don\u2019t know much about it, but I'm sure that\u2019s not the proper stuff to feed the little creature on.\u2018But what I do?asked the man na- thetically.\u20181 tel vou what to do said Richards, and he told him.The result was that within a few minutes the matron at the Italian boarding house on Osborne street had agreed to take the baby in charge.and wash and feed it, till this evening.And when a \u2018Witness representative left the station at moon, the bereaved father was washing and brushing un his three other little ones in the immieration sheds, under the direction of the aforesaid Richards.THE LAYMEN'S MOVEMENT \u2014_\u2014 MONTREAL CHURCHES DISCUSS MISSIONARY WORK AND MEANS OF ADVANCING ITS INTERESTS.A

MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS MURDERER-CONFESSED.A Man Who Gave Himelf Up in New York Says He Killed a Farmer Near Montreal.Pee TOLD THE STORY OF THE BACK RIVER ROAD MYSTERY.The Back River murder mystery, on which the police have been working since last October, may be solved by a confession made by a man named William Sangster, who surrendered himself in New York last night.Walking into police headquarters, he asked to be locked up, stating that he had, in conjunction with two accomplices, Peter Upson and Joseph Lamercke, who were since arrested on a charge of burglary, held up, robbed and murdered Pierre De- lorme, a farmer, on a lonesome country road three miles from Montreal.Sangster sald he had been wandering from town to town, and had come to New York from Boston.His monev ran out, he was tired) and hungry, and lus conscience troubled him, so he gave himself up.\"There is, however, a man named Frank Lamarche at present in \u201cjail here for robbery, and the record will be inquired into.Chief Carpenter and the Crown Prosecutor will leave to-night for New York to investigate the case.The Back River road murder was committed near Cote\u2019s hotel, on Saturday, Oct.26.The victim, Delorme, was a young farmer, 23 years of age.He was driving home from market.His parents, who were three hundred yards ahead of him in a waggon, noticed two men sitting on the roadside, but they were not disturbed.When, however, the younger man drove up the men sprang to the horse\u2019s head, and .demanded money.One pulled out a revolver, and when Delorme pushed him back, fired two shots, one of which struck the young farmer behind the ear.The horse, terrified, ran away, and the parents, hearing the shooting, turned back and were able to stop the runaway.Lying bleeding in the waggon they found their son.He was still conscious, and they did not think he was badly hurt; so the party drove to their home, three miles beyond St.Vincent de Paul.So weak was Delorme from loss of blood by this time that he was taken to a doctor's house, and put to bed there.Next day he was worse, and was taken to the Notre Dame Hospital, where several efforts were \u2018nade to extract the bullet, but without success.After lingering for a few weeks he died.At the time of the murder, highway robberies were of almost daily occurrence outside of Montreal, and no trace could be found of the men.All the description Delorme could give of his assailants was that one was tall, and wore a brown fall overcoat, while the other was of medium height.The: demand for his money was made in French.Chief Carpenter, who was notified last night of the confession, stated that it by no means followed that Sangster was guilty, He might be insane, or he might be desirous of getting back to Canada, and chose this means of getting shelter and free transport.No record of Sangster or Upson is known to the police here, but it ispossible they may have been working under different names, CONPIRACY CHARGED \u2014\u2014 SILVERMAN SAID TO HAVE JOINED OTHER BANK OFFICIALS IN SCHEME TO STEAL $300,000.Pittsburg, March 26.\u2014Harry Silver- } man, Pittsburg representative of Miller & Company, prominent stockbrokers operating in New York and other cities, was arrested here last night and released under $15,000 bond on a charge of conspiracy to abstract $300,000 of the funds of the Farmers\u2019 National Deposit Bank.The information was made by W.L.Folds, National Bank examiner for this district, before United States Commissioner William L.Lindsley.Henry Reiber, formerly paying teller, and John Young, former auditor of the bank, are also accused in the affidavit of being parties to the conspiracy.Reiber and Young were arrested last Monday on charges of embezzlement of $85,000 of the bank funds.The affidavit further alleges that others are involved in the alleged conspiracy, but that their identity is at present unknown to the bank examiners.Civil suits were also brought to-day on behalf of the Farmers\u2019 Deposit National Bank, against Reiber and Young, and against Nathan K.Miller, L.S.Oppenheimer, J.J.Levi and Alfred Hosner, persons doing business as Miller and Company, and Harry Silverman and against Henry Reiber, John Young, G.L.Reiber, a brother of the former paying teller, and James Kirkwood and John O'Leary, persons doing business as

HUNDRED MILES.\u2014 00 The announcement was made this morning that the Grand Trunk Railway Company intends in the near future to build a new direct line, connecting Ottawa with Kingston.The need for this line has been felt ever since the Grand Trunk obtained an entrance to Ottawa by getting control of the Canada Atlantic Railway.The object of the line is, primarily, to give the company a short route between Toronto and the Capital.At the present time the best route between Toronto and Ottawa over the Grand Trunk system is by the main line to Coteau Junction, and then doubling back west to Ottawa over the old Can- ada-Atlantic road.By building a line up from Kingston, the Grand Trunk would have as direct a route as is physically ,possible, and would shorten the run by something just over a hundred miles.Besides that, by cutting up across Eastern Ontario, the Grand Trunk would get entrance into a well-populated district now exclusively served by the C.The distance between Toronto and Ottawa on the G.T.R.via Cotean Junction is three hundred and sixty-five miles.By the proposed new route the haul would be reduced to about two hundred and sixty-one mil2s, namely, one hundred and sixty one miles from Toronto to Kingston, and say a hundred miles from Kingston to Ottawa.This would place the Grand Trunk ahout on a par with the C.P.R.line, which 1s twp hundred and fifty-eight miles from Terohto to Ottawa.But then the C.P.R.has a charter to build a line from Sharbot Lake Junction northeasterly to Carleton Junction, which would knock off about twenty miles of the distance, and make its To- ronto-Ottawa line only two hundred and thirty-eight miles.Vhether the UC.P.R.will construct under this charter, if the Grand Trunk builds the proposed new line, remains to be seen.Mr.William Wainwright, when questioned this morning as to the plans of the company concerning the proposed new line, said the Grand Trunk was prepared to finance and build the line just as soon as the holders of the present charter get the municipalities along the line to pay certain bonuses that were voted.\u2018And if the bonuses are not re-vozed ?Then it wil be a matter for the management

people will not buy, and competition is so keen that retailers are forced to sell at cost price, very often, to keep their trade.The grocer is naturally not in business as a pastime or for the benefit of his health, and even his customers should admit that he is entitled to a fair profit in his dealings.If the retail price be taken from the wholesale, and the difference called profit, the grccers\u2019 share might be called excessive, but from that difference must be subtracted all losses from depreciation, loss of weight, and uncollect- able accounts! And there we come to the centre of all the difficulty.A wholesale provision merchant who was talking over the subject with the \u2018Witness\u2019 representative this morning said, \u2018if you want to do the trade some real good, advise the public to pay cash for their groceries and let the prices look after themselves.Jt ia the only sure way of getting the best value for the money, but that lesson has certainly not been learned in Montreal.Any grocer will tell you that it is impossible to do a cash business, go where he will to establish himself.The result is that he has to give credit and when the time comes to meet his bills, his capital being all ir the cupboards and pantries of his customers, he has to ask for credit himself, andl naturally he is not considered such a gooG customer by the wholesaler, nor can: he buy to such advantage as a man who pays for his goods when he gets them.Let the consumer pay over the counter for hi= butter and eggs, and the ready money that is thereby placed at the grocer\u2019s disposal, where it ought to be, will be used for his benefit, as any grocer will be sass fied with a small profit if be can be sure ¢f a quick turn over of his capital.\u2019 BIG BUSINESS DONE BY LIFEINSURANCE COMPANIES It has been estimated that the net amount of insurance in force with the Canadian life companies at the close of last year was no less than $463,369,462, a gain during the year of well over thirty-four millions.The gain for 1906 was Yess than twenty- three millions and tbe enormous growth during 1907 in spite of the financial strin- gencv is remarkable.In the matter of policies, new and taken up, the 1907 total wos $70,395,389, an increase of over eight and a half million over 1906.The 1906 showing Was less than that of 1905 by cbout a million.Premiums for 1207 amounted te about fifteen million, an increase of about a million dollars over those of the previous year.CANADIAN NORTHERN RY.esa ry The Canadian Northern Railway gross earnings continue to increase.\u2018For the week ending March 21, the figures were $112,800, as against $109,400 for the corres- pording period of last year, being an increase of $33,400.From July 1 to date this year the total earnings were $6,780,500.For the* period ending the corresponding date last year they amounted to $4,940,400.This means an increase of $1,840,100, | J Boni 04 THREE PERCENT RATE ~ REMAINS UNCHANGED Preps Bank of England Statement Shows Money Situation to \u201cbe Much Improved.\u2014 The rate of discount of the Bank of England remained unchanged to-day at 3 percent.; The weekly statement of the Bank of \u201cngland shows the following changes: i'Total reserve, decreased & 327,400 Circulation, increased .477,000 Bullion, increased .150,243 Other securities, increased .3,013,000 Other deposits, increased ve oe 2,329,000 Public deposits, increased .274,000 Notes reserve, decreased .302, U0U Cuvernment securities, unchanged.The proportion of the bank's reserve to liability this week is 48.64 percent, compared with 51.26 percent last weck.MORE ENGLISH CAPITAL COMING TO CANADA (Canadian Associated Press.)

naturally of interest from the positions they are called upon to occupy.In most cases these ladies not only \u2018adorn\u2019 the position, but likewise are most valuable forces in furthering their husbands\u2019 work and helping to realize his ideals.LADY CROMER.Lady Cromer, wife of Lord Cromer, whose splendid work in Egypt has won praise from all over the Empire, assisted in a considerable degree during the last years of his agency, her husband's marvellous work of regeneration in Egypt.An important reform she started was in the care of young children.Appalled by the figures of infant mortality, especially among the babies of the female cotton employees, Lady Cromer started a number of creches, which have already done a very beneficial work, as well as pure milk depots and medical dispensaries.Socially, she made an ideal hostess of the British Agency at Cairo.Lady Cromer, who is Lord Cromer\u2019s second wife, was before her marriage Ladv Katherine Thynne, second daughter of the fourth Marquis of Bath.The marriage took place in the autumn of 1901.and was the most notable of that season in London.-\u2014 THB MILITANT CAMPAIGN Une of the leading suffragettes.sn London likens the present movement to an effort to put foundations under the castles in the air which for half a century or so have been building by women working for their enfranchisement in the constitutional ways of petitioning parliament, and .using \u2018back-door\u2019 intiuence.Now, the Women\u2019s Social and Political Union has adopted a policy of opposition to the Government.Mrs.Pankhurst, the founder of the Union, and its leaders believe that the private member does not count politically, that the cabinet is the force to be moved, and that it is not to be moved by peaceful methods.The militant campaign has been going on for a little over two years, during which two hundred suffragettes have gone to prison for trying at different times to gain access to the House of Commons, and many for other offences, besieging cabinet ministers\u2019 houses, and the hke.On several occasions when questions asked by them at cabinet ministers\u2019 meetings have been laughed at or ignored, the suffragettes have organized an interruption of the proceedings.The Union has reached the point where its members congratulate themselves on having at all events forced \u2018Votes for women\u2019 into the sphere of practical politics.As one of the number writes in an article on the campaign, \u2018The public has been in turn shocked, amused, amazed.and won over, and the result is net gain to a movement that had only hitherto aroused an academic interest in the minds of politicians.\u2019 The treasurer of the Union, Mrs, Lawrence, said recently at a conference that the militant campaign had brought out qualities that women were not supposed to possess.They were showing themselves capable of grit, endurance, courage, comradeship, logic, and humor, STUDY CORRECT METHODS _\u2014 The culinary department of the everyday household ought to be managed on scientific principles, from the purchase of the food to the cooking and serving thereof.The housekeeper should study to know what kinds of food to buy, in order to meet the requirements of the pocketbook, the health and the aesthetic sense, and how to combine, in the dishes that appear on her table, palatability, wholesomeness and nutritive value.The dealer who keeps foodstuffs in stock finds it worth his while to study the storage problem.So, likewise, should the housewife.If her flour is not to deteriorate, she must keep it covered, and her vegetables and fruits should be stored in a well-ventilated and cool place.Her ice-box must be kept eare- fully cleaned, else micro-organisms, developing in it, will give a bad taste to the butter and milk.Furthermore, if she is wise, she will not put her celery and lettuce in water to keep them fresh, like flowers in a vase, but will wrap them in a damp cloth.The soaking of green vegetables loses much of their flavor, which passes into the water that is thrown away.Some ways of cooking, as every housewife knows, are very wasteful.If a roast is to be prepared, for example, the precious juices are lost by too low a temperature in the oven.The oven should be good and hot to start with, in order to crisp the outside quickly and make it a hard shell to hold the juices.It pays, indeed, to use a thermometer, and there are household ranges provided with thermometric dials, which show at a glance the exact temperature of the oven.A CHAIR OF TASTH \u2014\u2014 The Chicago Woman\u2019s Club is backing & \u2018movement\u2019 to \u2018revolutionize shopping\u2019 and \u2018create an aesthetic taste for simplicity in dress and home adornment.\u2019 \u2018These Chicago dress reformers have said some very downright things about the lack of sense the women of their city show in making their purchases for house or wardrobe, and the bad taste they exhibit in the drawing-room and on the street.Naturally, the expression of these opinions has aroused the hot anger of the criticised.The leading critics, however, propose to have the \u2018science of shopping\u2019 and the \u2018art of clothes and house decoration\u2019 taught in the University of Chicago, and the North-western University.Associated with the Woman\u2019s Club in the movement is the University Guild, which has arranged to support the chair of \u2018art appreciation\u2019 in North-western for one year.If at the end of that time the results promise what is expected, the university is to assume the burden of the chair and make it a permanent institution.The course is to include laboratory training in the selection and purchase of materials, study of the harmony of colors and emphasis of the principle that extravagance in price does not necessarily imply art in gowns or house furnishings.Every branch of art appreciation will be studied.The students are to be schooled in the simplicity and ecou- omy of dress, and the truly artistic and correct in taste.This sounds quite excellent, but who is to decide arbitrarily what is or isn\u2019t truly artistic and correct in dress fashions?And the reformers seem to hardly have the courage of their convictions sufficiently to begin at home.One of the leaders, while uttering very fine sep- timents on the waste of changing styles was, according to the New York \u2018Tribune,\u201d wearing a dream of a costume of \u2018rich brown cloth, with mandarin sleeves.surplice waist, and a four-inch spread of skirt on the ground\u2019; and another champion of the movement for simplicity and art in dress held forth in a Delft blue gown, brown shoes with high heels, and fuffy picture hat.MORB CAREERS THAN ONB Kate Upson Clark, a clever writer in the \u2018Brooklyn Eagle,\u201d does not agree with the theory that the great object of.a girl\u2019s education should be specific and special preparation for motherhood.She says: \u2018 Any sensible person knowa that a girl of average brightness, who has had a fair education and has been given right ideas of duty, can study up the specific work of early motherhood even after her marriage.All children, boys and girls alike, should be instructed thoroughly in the ideals which pertain to the home.If they are brought up in the proper kind of a home, and 1t is constantly taken for granted by their parents in their conversations that the dearest wish of their hearts is to have such a home for themselves when the time shall come, there will be no trouble in the matter.This impressing upon girls that they must marry\u2014they must have children\u2014or else their lives are failures, is one of the worst refinements of barbarism.It embitters more hearts, and is the cause of more hasty and unsuitable marriages, than, perhaps, any other one thing.The reason why the term \u2018old maid\u2019 became in the olden time one of ridicule and reproach, 1s largely because the unmarried woman, having been defeated in the object of her existence, was embittered and narrowed.In our day, the unmarried woman is usually so because she has chosen to be.There is not one woman in a thousand who might not have been married if she had cared to be.Either the lover of her choice died or was stolen by another; or else the right one did not seek her, and she would not stoop to marry just for a home, or for the sake simply of being married, and escaping the silly odium of single blessedness.\u2018The wise mother of to-day emphatically instructs her daughter, if not in set terms, yet clearly, that though a happy marriage 18 the best thing on earth for both men and women, it must not be made the sole object of life.She shows her that an unhappy marriage is perfect misery, and must be forever shunned.She teaches this gentle, aspiring, conscientious girl, that there are many beautiful and satisfying careers; that happiness is a by-product, which comes as one pursues congenial work earnestly and heartily \u2014 cares for the invalid mother\u2014tends a store\u2014cooks in a kit- chen\u2014carves wood-\u2014\u2014designs patterns\u2014 nurses the sick.A girl brought up in this sensible way will gladly take a husband, if the right man comes along; but she will not become cross and hateful and spiteful, if she never marries.She will do with her might what her hand finds to do, and there will be love in her heart toward all, and a song on her ips.SHOE HINTS \u2014 Many women who are quite particular about every other part of their dress -care too little about their shoes.This is especially evident on the occasions when short skirts are in order, bad weather, for instance, when any old shoes are considered good enough.On the contrary, those are the very times when one should pay special attention to the appearance of her feet.Women look in the glass to see if their hats and coiffures are all right, but they don\u2019t consult the mirror about their shod feet, or they would not let them appear as ill- dressed as they sometimes do.It is absurd to wear shoes too small.Uncomfortable compression of the feet brings lines on the face, and prevents gracefulness of carriage.It is false economy not to have boot trees on which to keep the shoes when off the feet.The trees help to keep the leather from cracking, and restore the shoes to shapeliness.One should have at least one change of pairs, for ordinary use, to not have to wear the same two days in succession.All should be as well-fitting as possible, of course, but not on exactly the same last.A change ensures that there will not be any continuous pressure on one part, and is a relief to tender feet.To look their best, shoes should always be kept in a dark place free from dust, and never allowed to want cleaning whether they are in immediate commission or not.When standing, rest squarely on the feet.It is less tiring than to throw the weight on one foot, or on the sides of the feet.Fresh stockings every day are within the reach of most people, and are a preventive of that tired feeling in the feet.CAN WOMEN RULE?\u2014-\u2014 A leading German paper has been collecting the opinions of women who do things, on the question, \u2018 What will women do when they rule?\u2019 The following selections show (says \u2018 P.T.O.\u2019) that the majority of the persons applied to believe in the efficacy of petticoat government.\u2018Carmen Sylva,\u2019 Queen of Roumania, for instance, expresses her views in no uncertain manner.She says: \u2018I think Semiramis, Catherine the Great, Queen Elizabeth, the Empress Maria Theresa and others have shown that women can rule.\u2019 Mme.Sarah Bernhardt: \u2018When women rule they will retain all their good and bad qualities, just as men rulers have done, do, and will do.\u2019 Lady Henry Somerset expresses a fair- minded view: \u201c The intentions of women rulers will not differ much from those of the best men rulers.I do not believe in the superiority of one sex over the other.The world is made for both.They together will sway its destinies, and the struggle for unity must prevail.\u2019 Mrs.Belva A.Lockwood, a leader in the Equal Rights party in the United States, writes: \u2018Like men, we would restlessly seek office; but we would not spend a fortune in sending warships to the Pacific Ocean for the purpose of terrifying our neighbors.(There is a rebuke for President Roosevelt!) We would devote the money to building roads and canals, thus strengthening industry and employing men in productive labor.We would see the Church become more popular than the theatre, and that men went to church.We would also enforce total abstinence, and open all schools to women.\u2019 Wear Perfect Fit FIRE RECORD Grand Rapids, Mich., March 25.\u2014Half the bubiness section of Middleville,

UNIVERSITY CLUB, PRINCE OF WALES FUSLIERS ARMORY, AND OTHERS, > Quebec March 26.\u2014There was a lull yesterday in the storm of anti-alcoholie literature petitions with which the Âs sembly has been pelted for some time past.None were presented this afternoon, and only two new bills were intro- duced\u2014one by Mr.Blanchard to amend the law respecting the Prowincial Dairy Association and the other the Hon.Mr.Gouin to amend the Cbde of Civil Procedure respecting the jurisdiction of the Court of King's Bench (appeal side) and the Court of Review.In reply to the Hon.Mr.Leblanc, the Premier said the government had not been informed in any way of the purchase of a piece of ground in Montreal to be used for the erection of the Montreal Technical School, and it had employed no agent to conduct any such transaction.; .In reply to Mr.Langlois, the Provincial Necretary stated that during the summer of 1906, representations were made to the government by a deputation from the Provincial Board of Health as to the necessity of further legislative enactments to endeavor to overcome the excessive infantile mortality, and that, as the outcome of these representations.a number of regulations were sanctioned bv the government relative to the milk supply, maternities, foundling and other infant asylums, etc.; In reply to Mr.Guard, the Premier stated that the government had learned through the press that an individual had been practising usury in Montreal, and that thereupon instructions had been issued to t Crown prosecutors to 1n- quire into @he facts and prosecute the offender, buf} that.before the warrant for his arrest could be executed, the latter Lad fled.Mr.Gault moved for a detailed statement of the number of children attending each school in the different

the present Montreal Roman Catholic and Protestant school comnns- sions and replace them by elective ones have come to light through the printing of the bills.Comparison of the two documents in their present unamended form show that it 1s not proposed to place the two commissions on exactly the same basis.The Protestant commission is to be an entirely elective one.The number of membars, however, is not yet specified.On the other hand, the Catholic commission, according to their bill, is to be composed of eighteen members, but only fifteen of these are to be elected.The other three are to be appointed by the Archbishop of Montreal, according to article 1 of the bill.The following section tells how the other fifteen are to be elected: \u2018Fifteen shall be elected, one for each ward of the city wholly or in part comprised within the said school municipality, in so far as each of the wards is wholly or in part comprised in the said school municipality of the City of Montreal, by the Roman Catholic property owners of such ward, whose names are entered on the list of municipal electors.\u201d Any male municipal elector may be elected tu either board, according to his religion, provided his name is entered on the list of municipal electors and he resides and is ther owner of immovable property in Montreal of a certain value, at least one thousand dollars being fixed as the property qualification for Roman Catholic commissioners.That for the Protestant 1s left blank, to be filled in later.The first article of the Protestant Commission bill explains: \u2018The word \u201cProtestant\u201d shall throughout this act include persons professing \u2018the Jewish religion.\u2019 The first elections under the acts are proposed to be held in 1910 at the Lime of the general elections for the offices of mayor and aldermen of the City of Montreal.At that time, it is provided all the members of the board shall go out of office.Subsequent elections are to be held every second year on the same date and places as the general municipal elections.Each nomination paper must be signed by at least twenty-five muni- cival electors.Incorporation of an institution to be known at L\u2019Hopital de la Charité is asked by Dr.Lacombe.The proposed institution is to have for its object the relief of afflicted orphans and poor »hil- dren in schools by giving treatment for eyes, ears, nose, throat, teeth, etc.The corporation of the institution is also to secure lecturers who will teach hygiene in schools and elsewhere to give The petitioners for the bill are: Mayor

the Government With the Quebec Bridge Company \u2014Budget Debate Resumed by Messrs, H, H, Miller and R, S.Lake.Ottawa, March 26.\u2014At the opening of the House yesterday Mr.D.Bole (Winnipeg) claimed the privilege of replying to certain statements which were made in the House on Tuesday in reply to the supply of drugs to Manitoba penitentiary by a company in which he (Mr.Bole) was financially interested.He had no knowledge of the transaction in question and never in his life, either before or since he entered parliament, had he asked the government for any business.This order must have come from the government.It amounted to $142.QUEBEC BRIDGE.In reply to a question regarding the government's relations with the Quebec bridge Company, Mr.Fielding stated that in the session of 1899 the government granted a subsidy of $1,000,000 towards the Quebec bridge.Under ihe terms of legislation secured from parliament last session the government advanced $2,000,000 to the Quebec Bridge Company, receiving in return guaranteed bonds of the company to the amount of £478,700.In the session of 1803 the government guaranteed bonds to the amount of $6,678,200.The bonds so guaranteed were delivered to a trust company to be applied to the purposes of the undertaking; they had not, however, been issued to the public.The bonds were used as collateral in raising loans from the banks to the amount, including interest up to June 30, 1907, of $5,561,507.The government advance of two million dollars has been applied in reduction of this indebtedness.The cost of the Quebec bridge, including the Chaudiere bridge and the railway approaches to March 1, 1908, was $6,899,- 033, to which is to be added interest from June 30, 1907 on the advances for which the bonds of the company were pledged.This cost includes for customs duty, harbor dues and fees, $510,288.No! estimate has been made as to the cost of reconstruction.THE BUDGET DEBATE.The budget debate was resumed by Messrs.H.H.Miller (South Grey) and R.S.Lake (Qu\u2019Appelle) up till six o\u2019clock, when the House adjourned.The former referring to the recent declaration of Dr.Thompson, M.P., of his allegiance to the Conservative party and principles observed that Mr.Borden was welcome to his latest recruit.Anyway, Dr.Thompson never was anything else but a Conservative.Mr.Miller made an exhaustive defence of the ministerial policy and claimed that on all counts its showing was immensely superior to that of the Conservative party.Since the accession to power of Sir Wilfrid Laurier the country had emerged from commercial darkness and entered on an era of great prosperity.Mr.Miller's speech lasted two hours and a half and was addressed for the most part to a very slim House.Mr.Lake condemned this government\u2019s expenditure as extra- ; Vagant and called for a more vigorous prosecution of the work of constructing the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway.It was four years now since this enterprise received the endorsation of parliament, but all the west had to show as yet was two hundred and fifty miles of completed line on the plairs.Compare that with the showing of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the same time.The debate was adjourned on motion of Mr.Schell (Oxford), who will continue the discussion this afternoon.12 z.IN THK SENATE DEBATE ON QUESTION OF PUBLIC OWNERSHIP AND OPERATION OF PUBLIC UTILITIES.Ottawa, March 26.\u2014In the Senate yesterday Mr.Power resumed the debate on Senator McMullen's motion declaring that public ownership and operation of public utilities would not be in the interest of Canada.The debate was continued by Messrs.Belcourt, William Ross, McSweeney and Sullivan.Senator Bernier spoke in favor of the Georgian Bay Canal, while Senator William Koss was opposed to the riudson\u2019s .ay Rail way project.Senator Belcourt, continuing after dinner, pointed out the operation of public utilities by Canada would mean the taking over the®railways at the expense of increasing the national debt five or six times.It would mean that Canada would go into the business of running hotels, \u2018into manufacturing, and in all ways competing with legitimate individual effort.Taking over the telegraphs and telephones with the railways would add some four hundred thousand persons to the employees of Canada.With the present employees they would form a body of voters which would be sufficiently numerous to wield its vote and control the affairs of the country.They would form a controlling bureaucracy.The result would be the suppression of individual effort, which would be fatal to the realization of Canada\u2019s proper national ideal.He auoteu Mr.Dalrymple, manager of the Glasgow Tramway, who declaared that municipal tramways were not adapted to conditions in North America.; Senator Belcourt thought state monopolies would produce worse results than corporate monopoly.For Canada he was in favor of freedom of capital and freedom of labor.Given freedom.both capital and labor woui.tend to coalition.However, no harm would follow.The benefits of coalition of capital had been shown by the case of the § Bank.There was no harm to combination of labor.the labor bureau sweating.The only condition suited for the genius and temperament of the Cana- | dian people and the geographical condi- i tions of the country was freedom of capital, freedom: of labor, freedom of individual effort, limited by wise legislation.Senator William Ross said he had tor i some years closely followed the affairs of Australia and New Zealand, where state ownership and control had been extensively gone into.His observation was that in New Zealand particularly the people enjoyed low rates on rail and telegraph, that the Commonwealth was remarkably well governed.He thought the Intercolonial could be extended through Ontario and made to pav under government management.Senator McSweeney stated that the city of Moncton, in which he lived, had gone nto municipal ownership with satisfaction to the people and financial success.Moncton operated its water, electricity and gas plant.In the last two months water returned a profit of four thousand and electricity two thousand dollars, and gas a slight loss.Kingston and Brockville had taken over the control of water, gas and electricity with success.France, Germany and Switzerland had gone into railway operation with success.He was of the opinion that public ownership had been by no means the universal 1ailure which some speakers had indicated.Senator Sullivan stated that Kingston had taken over the water supply, got pure water, double the quantity, and provided it profitably at half the price.Kingston had also taken control of gas and electricity and had reduced the overeign result in It had established and had abolished rates, All their services gave a profit, but he did not think municinalities should go beyond these publie necessities in the direction of public ownershin.Senator McMullen, iL closine the debate, thought water and drainage should be operated by the municipalities.Beyond these he would not go.He pointed out that annual elections of municinal officials would prevent continuity of management required for success.Senator McMullen withdrew his motion.THE McCRAW TRIAL \u2014 SOME DAMAGING EVIDENCE AGAINST THE ACCUSED.Three Rivers, March 25.\u2014In the Mec Craw trial on the opening ot the court to-day, the evidence of Dr.Georges Bourgeois, commenced yesterday aftæ- noon, was concluded, after which Camille Lafontaine was called.This witness had been a log contractor during the winter of the tragedy, and on one of his trips down from the woods he had Leen driven from La Tuque to Grandes Piles by Wallace McCraw.On this trip the conversation on one occasion had been relative to McCraw's employment by Sclater, and McCraw had made use of the following words: 'Je vais m'en debarrasser.\u201d There was much discussion between Crown and defence as to what construction might be put on these words.Dr.Vanasse, coroner, was the next wilness, that of ness to Morris.of 1905, Dr.Bourgeois.This man, during the winter had been employed by Paul | Chandonnet.He was repairing the roads.\"While at this work one day McCraw had passed, and witnese, in conversation with him, asked him when he was going to be married.To this McCraw had answered: \u2018He had to kill someone before getting married.\u2019 The fifth and last witness for the day was George Chandonnet.He had worked that winter for Aimé Dontigny whose farm was on the other side of the.river, oppesite the Sclater property.On the evening of the murder he was at Don- tigny\u2019s with others.His brother, Arthur Chandonet, came in early in the evening.[ater on, Mrs.Geo.Skeene came

TavrspAy, Marcu 26, 1905 TET Np, is Private Bills Meet With pos Toronto, March 26.\u2014There was a general slaughter of private legislation in the legislature this afternoon.Member after member stood up, advocated his pet measure, and then withdrew it at the request of the government.But the order paper was quickly cleared and work well advanced.At the present pace the House should have no difficulty finishing by Easter.Probably the most important feature to-day was the new school proposals.Dr, Pyne, Minister of Education, introduced three bills respecting the educational pol icy.They are designed to extend the usefulness of public schools.It pro vides for the reorganization of the continuation classes.In future there will be continuation schools and fifth classes, instead of the two grades indiscriminately termed continuation classes at present.The continuation school will impart instruction in advance of and inclusive of that prescribed for the fifth class, and may employ one, two or three teachers.Continuation schools will be to all intents and purposes rural High Schools, and under the new classification already number over 100.It is hoped these schools in every township, The continuation classes have really been doing fifth class work, and they will now be called fifth classes, financial encouragement being given with the object of supplying teachers having the special qualifications in elementary agri culture and horticulture, .and in workshop training needed in rural schools and in small industrial centres courses will be provided at the Ontario Agricul tural College, supplementary to Normal School training Each course will be one of three months, and the travelling expenses and board of the candidates will be paid.The Minister of Education also asks power to establish model schools By this the government will take over and control and support model schools that are to be retained.The model school exams will be conducted by the department as are Normal exams at present.All certificates will hercafter be issued by the minister.An additional grant of 360.000 ix being made to urban schools, and the bill provides that this is to be distributed on the basis of the grade of the teacher's certificate.The experience of the teacher will also be a factor in paying the grant to rural schools.Mr.Joseph P.Downey moved his bill to permit all cities to have a Board of Control like Toronto and Ottawa, \u2018In Toronto,\u201d said Mr.Downey, \u2018the system has worked admirably, and although it has not had much trial in Ottawa.vet I think it is proving satisfac- torv.\u2019 _ \u2018While the bill may go to committee,\u2019 said the Hon, W.J.Hanna.\u2018I think the proposal that the principle should apply to all cities will meet with formidable objections.\u2019 Mr.W.H.lloyle.on behalf of his North Ontario constituents moved to repeal ht clause passed last session prohibiting the use of the automatic guns.ITe
