general plan for the development of the property.Business men regard the plan as a magnificent one, and believe it will be a decided success.\u2018It ought to do much to remedy the evil of overcrowding in the city.\u201d He recalled the words of Mr.J.Allan Baker, M.P., of London, Eng.who visited Montreal last September, that cheap fares and well developed suburbs had wrought a marvellous change in the overcrowding in some parts of that great city.\u2018If the railway gives a cheap fare and a rapid transit, the new city will be a genuine boon to every class of citizens.\u201d It was simply impossible to overestimate the value of a home away from the crowding and bustle of the city, and he was confident that the new suburb would be only a financial success-for its owners, but would add greatly to the general health and happiness of the citizens.Mr.Darling, local manager of the Land Department of the railway, and Mr.Todd, have studied the property carefully and are confident that the new suburb will be the model city of Canada.Mr.Todd has made a spe- clalty of town planning and municipal parks.He designed an area of five square miles at Point Grey, B.C.; the park and boulevard system for Edmonton, Alta.; improvements for Victoria, B.C., for the British Columbia Government; the Quebec Battlefields park; Shaughnessy Heights; Port

Again, They Declare, As Cause is Just and Methods Are Correct.\u2014 New York, Dec.20.\u2014The heads of nine of the principal international unions, in a signed statement given out here, discuss the result of the McNamara case.The statement, which is addressed to \u2018trade unionists and their friends,\u201d says in part: \u2018It cannot be denied that labor in its organized form and unorganized form has suffered temporarily; but it will rise again, more powerful and determined, for {ts cause is just and its methods are correct.We condemn crime and violence, whether in trade unions, in commercial enterprises, or In newspapers.\u2018There can be no distinction ag to quality -of participants in crime, no palliation of crime; and the present enlargement on a particular crime committed by a member of a trade union, smacks much of an attempt to cover up crime in other quarters and to enlarge the opportunity for criminals in high places.\u2018We believed that John J.McNamara was the victim of a foul conspiracy.That belief grew into conviction, largely because of the manner in which McNamara was spirited from Indianapolis.The guilt of the McNamara\u2019s cannot be pleaded in extenuation of the guilt of those who were responsible for the kidnapping.\u2019 | \u2014\u2014\u2014r NEW BY-LAW TO BE STRICT Many Defects in Exist Meas- ares on Building Will be Remedied The new

Baptiste Hall was last night the scene of some very stormy speeches during the payment by government of those who had worked in connection with the late federa] elections in Maisonneuve Division when Mr.E.W.Villeneuve, the defeated candidate, said that some of those with claims had laid themselves open to arrest.He sald that all the deputy returning officers had signed their expense forms In blank, the amounts being subsequently filled in, and that each officer in the hundred odd polls called upon last night had signed a new declaration.Upon this a fresh account was made out by the auditor- general, Mr.John Fraser, and a cheque given in payment.It was for this reason said Mr.Villeneuve, that the unusual method of settlement had been adopted so as to save a number of men who had exposed themselves to legal action.Great discontent was expressed through the delays in payment, only forty-seven polls having been called by ten o'clock.One by one they were admitted to the small room, and cries of \u2018He is not here,\u2019 \u2018He is dead,\u201d greeted each name as it was called out.After eleven one hundred polls had been called, and when Mr.Villeneuve announced that payment would be continued on Thursday evening there were many angry voices denouncing the delay, and saying the matter should \u2018have been left in the hands of Mr.Gingras, the returning officer.Then Mr.Villeneuve gave the reasons of the government for paying in this manner.The crowd responded by giving three .cheers( for Gingras and hisses for Villeneuve.Mr.Gingras himself spoke from a chair: \u2018Gentlemen, if there is any de- Jay in the settlement of your accounts it 1s due to Eugene Walter Villeneuve, \u2018who extorted a warrant against me from Judge Choquet.I -had started to pay the accounts and went up to Ottawa with my papers.I was prepared to finish the work, but the next day I was arrested on a charge of obtaining money under false pretences.\u2019 Mr.Villeneuve interrupted to say: \u2018No more payments will be made to- gn, I but i Gingras -can go on as ng a8: He likes, 3 wil blow: off his | Fistéam.You can coms \u2018back cs THursday evening at 8 o'clock and you \u2018win all he paid.\u2019 Mr.Gingras gave the followièug statement to the press later én: \u2018I was called upon to obtain ætate- ments of expenses from the yarious officers of \u2018the division,\u2019 he said, \u201cthese being made up as follows: Deputy re- | turning officers\u2019 fees, $4; poll clerks\u2019 fees, $2; swearing poll clerk, $1; constable, $2; mileage for deputy Teturn- ing officer and poll clerk \u2018This last item, of course, varies in each case, and I made my own estimate of the proper charge for it, as Well as the claimant\u2019s, leaving the amount payable to be settled by the au- ditor-general.No expense forms were signed in blank, except in so far as mileage was concerned, and the men only signed for what they.got.I obtained two thousand dollars from Ottawa, and when I had paid it all out, went up to Ottawa last Thursday with the accounts and receipts.I was told that my personal account would be settled when I had put in al] the receipts, and the next day I was arrested.\u2018Yesterday 1 received a wire from Mr.Fraser telling me to meet him at the Place Viger at one o'clock to-day with all my papers.I met him, but said that on the.advice of my lawyer I could not produce all the papers, as they would probably play an important part \u2018in the action against me.Mr: Fraser tlien sald: \u201cIf you don't give me: all the paper it may be ne- 'cessary to make further trouble.\u201d\u2019 \u2018Mr.Gingras hinted that this was \u201cthe part of one or two individuals.The Auditor-General had never asked hifrn for an.explanation of the mileage Kem, .and his own personal account had :never been produced, so that he could\u2019 mot very well be charged with obtaining money under false pretences.\u2014\u2014\u2014>\u2014\u2014=e ant .BATTLE EXPECTED, : Manilla, Dec, -20.\u2014A battle\" 15 \u201cine minent in the Island of Jolo, between 600 Moros and-a.force of U.8.troops.The Moros,

Imperial Government and the revolutionists this afternoon Tang Shao Yi, who represents Premier Yuan Shin Kai, expressed himself as \u2018ready to accept a republic but must first communicate with Pekin.\u2019 After the meeting of the peace conference at the town hall had adjourned this afternoon an official statement initialled by Tang Shao Yi and Dr.Wu Ting fang, the leaders vf the Imperlalists and revolutionarics respectively, was issued to the press.It says in substance that after Dr.\u201cWu Ting Fang had lengthily presented the case in favor of a republic as an indispensable ovundition of peace Tang Shao Yi, in replying, \u2018expressed his readiness to accept Dr.Wu Ting Fang's views, but the matter was so important that he must first communicate with Pekin.\u2019 The armistice between the opposing forces has now been cxtended to Dec.30.THE POWERS PRESENT NOTE.Shanghai, Dec.20 (noon)\u2014The consuls of the six Powers called on Tang Shao Yi and Dr.Wu Ting Fang this morning, and presented their note, expressing the good will of their respective governments, and the hope that the peace conferences now in session would be successful.The presentations, first at the hecad- quarters of Tang Shao Yi, and then at the home of Dr.Wu Ting Fang, made an impressive scene.The German consul was the first spokesman at each place, and was followed by the other five diplomats in order of their seniority as determined by length of residence at Shanghai.Tang Shao Yi replied in the most courteous manner in a very few words expressing gratitude on behalf of the Imperial Chinese Government at the interest taken in the situation by the six Powers.He sald he hoped that the conference between the representatives of the Imperial Government and the revolutionaries would be successful in restoring peace to the country.From Tang Shao Yi's residence the conpuls proceeded to the headquarters of Drv: Wau Ting \u2018Fang, the revolution- mony took place.Replying to the note

Washington, Dec.20.\u2014President Taft sent to Congress to-day the long- awaited report of the Tariff Board on schedule \u2018K.of the Payne tariff act, and with it a message recommending that the rates on wool and woollens .be materially reduced.The report shows that the existing duties on.many classes of wool and woollen manufactures are prohibitory and great in excess of \u2018the.difference in -the cost- of production here.and abroad.The duties are so.arranged \u2018as to keep out of »the United States entirely wools of finer qualities which 1f imported might be used-to displace the cheap substituwtes- now employed.Mr.- Taft éalls attention to: these \u2018points, and urges that-a- revision - of the schedule be proceeded with at \u2018fonce: He dwells with emphasis upon -J:the fact that the report.is a unanimous: bne; \u2018and- asserts -the.belief .that At will convince all of- the wisdom of making the tariff board permanent.The Tariff Board's report - suggests a general revision of the \"duties on wool \u2018and wooliens, and many individual reductions in the rates.The board makes no \u201crecommendétions, but\u2019 points out \u2018what changes are desirable.In

and \u2018espe- | cially dwellings' in large: centres in * \u2018The \u2018subject :of hygiene; \u2018in dwell ings.n/a city i one of the \u2018most serious that should preoccupy all those and, especially, the, municipal * authorities.Howevèr, \u201cwe must, confess that, until of late years, this:important matter .recélved -Httle Consider-: ation from the public .authorities.It is, \u2018gentlemen, .because the knowledge of the public in point of hygiene, is @lmost -void.::, Even among, our own ~colleagues of the medical \u2018profession this knowledge is very rudimental.\u2018Many physicians rest satisfied with treating patients; their studies, their works do not extend beyond the realm \u2018of patholu,s, very few.take an.interest\u2019 in .matters of hygiene.However, the duty of the hygienist is to the families.The wholesomeness, §a- lubriousness of the habitation must profession, as.well as for municipal administrations, thé object of a constant pFeoccupation, and these two great factors, \u201csanitation\u201d and lubrity\u201d \u2018naturally lead to seek for puré.air, and solar light.It is not because one is refractory or indiffer- ént \u2018to the sanitary legislation, it is ignorance in \u2018évery one of the principles public hygiene should lay upon, and as & sanitary law can only have a \u2018practical effect when -it is in ac- | cordance With.modern conceptions, it follows that hygiene in dwellings is a thing almost unknown in our country.-\u201cThis problem of a sanitary habi- i tation for all classes of the pdpulation 11s, it fs true; of a rather complex solution; therefore, we must have re- .\u20acourse to all scientific, philanthropic associations, to the working classes as well as to liheral professions of great financiers; in a word, it is ne- 1 cessary to rely upon evéry person of good will, in order to secure for our population pure air and _.gelar light in abundance.How many families live in narrow and \u2018dark hovels, where the sun\u2019s rays never penetrate.What restoring sleep will the tired workman find coming back home after his day\u2019s labor, breathing a mephitic air, introducing into his organism these germs called microbes, which will find in a weakened body the soil favorable to their development.Very often this poor workman will leave his sad dwelling to go to a blind tavern, where alcohol will hasten the fatat solution.\u2018This subject of the habitation is oh -the.path of all social reform\u2019 works, \u201cthat is to say, each and\u2019 every ome should co-operate to the impulse in favor of a salubrious habitation.Persons of duty and devotedness who will have espoused this noble cause will not be sufficiently armed for the struggle if governments, To .matter if municipal or provincial, do not come .tô the rescue.It is not simply a legislative intervention that is reces- sary in this case, it must also be an: economic intervention, it certainly -is socialism, but good socialism.In such a matter( it is not enough to legislate: it is necéssary, to a certain extent, vu transform the state of the dwelling.\u2018The habits gnd morals of the people myst be changed, and in order.to obtain this end they must be made io see better \u2018than the actual state of affairs; they must\u2019 be inculcated the taste for loftiness, taught cleanliness, made to understand the need of sunlight, pure air, to preserve one\u2019s health; and, instead of leaving to the initiative of individuals, tors the care of laying out streets more or less wide, rather the latter than the former, whoever the authorities be, they should take in hand this transformation, and in buying, to setl later \u2018on, ell vacant lots in a given radius, and, after having made the wanted and needed improvements, sell these lots in making certain conditions which would prevent, to the detrime:t of the aesthetics, certain persons to ciate the surroundings; bulldings.ny \u201cWhen a .public administration -.re- \u2018solves the undertaking of a sanitary measure, thé problem to decide upôn requires intervention on the part\u2019 of the hygienist, this is a matter of pube: lic sanitation;
