17,000 ARMENIANS WERE MASSACRED

Tartars Butchered Helpless Christians, Says Archbishop

Now Visiting London

London, March 26.—Tartars re­cently massacred 17,000 Armenians within the boundaries Of the new Armenian state at the instigation of the Young Turks in the Azerbaijan Government according to Archbishop Kholn, an Armenian from Erivan, who has arrived here to confer on behalf of the Armenian Republic with -Allied authorities regarding the situation in Armenia.

Three thousand persons are being herded in Tartar villages, and por­tions of the Armenian frontier are being held by the Tartars, he de­clared.

He says that In December the Tartars murdered 14.000 Armenians at Akoulis, in Azerbaijan, on the pretex that Tartars had been mas­sacred in Armenian territory.

He said also that many massacres since the armistice were declared to have been due to the fact that the frontiers between Armenia and Azer­baijan were not clearly defined.

‘ I have seen that prohibition in America is not for the rich and poor alike, because the rich have their drink and the poor are deprived of it. It ill becomes us of the clergy to scorn the brewer when we are in­debted to him for so much support of the churches.

TWO CONSTABLES IN GROUP ARRESTED

IN LOS ANGELES

Probably at no period in the world.'» history have heart and nerve troubles been so prevalent as they are to-day.

The heart can't stand the stress and strain of this busy, bustling age, and the care and worry, the anxiety and activity of business life constitute a serious drain on the nervous system.

The business of this work-a-day world goes with such a rush that the stoutest hearts and strongest nerves break down under the strain.

Un the first approach of any break­down of the system Milburn’S Heart and Nerve Pills should be taken. The reconstructive power of these pills on the heart and nerve system is simply marvellous.

Mr. W. A. Wright, Hopewell Ave. Ottawa. Ont, writes: “After suffer ing for some time with my heart, I consulted a number of doctors, but got no relief. However, I read what Mllburn’s Heart and Nerve Pills had done for others, who had the same symptoms and thought I would give them a trial. Believe me, six boxes cured me completely. I am feeling fine now, and can attend to my work every day. I can recommend your pills to any one suffering as I did.”

SECRETARY DANIELSIS SCORED AGAIN

Washington, March 26.—Capt. Leigh C. Palmer who, as Chief of the Bureau of Navigation during the war was responsible for obtaining and distributing officers and men, testi­fied yesterday that a shortage of personnel was the American “navy's initial handicap in the war."

Appearing before the Senate com­mittee investigating Rear-Admiral Sims’s charges against the Navy De­partment, Capt. Palmer said Secre­tary Daniels was responsible for the alleged shortage because uf his "pro­crastination" prior to the entry of this country into the conflict.

Mr. Daniels consistently opposed the building up of a strong naval reserve force before the war, he as­serted, although naval officers had warned the Secretary that after war was declared It would be too late to train the men necessary. The Sec­retary. however, always favored and strongly supported recruiting for the regular navy, and after war was de­clared did everything possible to stimulate it. the witness said, l’c added that "this, however, was very different from the policy Mr. Daniels | adopted toward the reserve-force."

lions Oil the matter to theUegai representative of the Vancouver firm in upiose favor the legisla­tion was enacted. This in itself appears to be an extraordinary proceeding. Moreover, it would seem to suggest that friends of the Ottawa Gov­ernment hailing from British Columbia would do wqII to drop a hint at Ottawa that persistent tam­pering with the rights of this Province might lead to serious consequences; - Dislocation of na­tional unity is not pleasant to talk about ; but it might become a very live issue if Ottawa over­stepped the bounds of prudence.

A "SIDE LINE" ELEVATED.

FULL DISCUSSIONOF NAVY PROMISED

MORE CONFUSION.

The statement of the Minister of Naval Ser­vice in the House of Commons yesterday did not. clear the air in regard to Canada’s naval pro­gramme, as was expected. On the contrary, it made “confusion worse confounded.’" First, Mr. Ballantyne declared a permanent naval policy for the Dominion would he deferred until after the approaching Imperial Conference. Next, Cana­dian naval service was to be continued along pre-war lines' Third, the British offer of one light cruiser and two destroyers to take the places of the Niobe and Rainbow had been ac­cepted. Fourth, the staffs of the dock yards, naval and civilian, were to he demobilized in order to facilitate reorganization. Finally, the Minister announces with regret the retirement of Admiral Sir Charles Kingsmill as Director of the Canadian Naval Service.

As some of tlicse propositions are in hopeless conflict with one another, the only inference that can he drawn from the Minister s statement, in the absence of a key to it, is that either the Gov­ernment lias no policy and does not know what to do for a policy, or it has one but is afraid to announce it and desires to unload the responsi­bility for it upon the Imperial Conference. It has had Jellieoes report and recommendations before it long enougli to devise a policy upon it, hut all we have as the outcome of that document is an announcement so cryptic that it well deserves Dr. Michael Clark's description as “the most extra­ordinary statement he ever had heard in the House."

If the Government has accepted Great ' Britain's offer of a light cruiser and two destroy­ers to take the places of the Rainbow and Niobe then, obviously, the Esquimau and Halifax naval stations should not he demobilized unless it is the intention to use these vessels as exhibits. If the Canadian naval service is to be continued along pre-war lines why make so clean a sweep of its appurtenances, including the office ot Di­rector? Although the Niobe and Rainbow hail been scrapped prior to the war out of deference to the anti-navy views of the Quebec Nationalists, neither Esquimau nor Halifax stations had been demobilized and Admiral Kingsmill and bis staff were found necessary at headquarters in Ottawa.

In any case, if it is not the intention of the Government to have a naval policy until after the Imperial Conference, why demobilize anything or anybody now, especially after accepting the light cruiser and two destroyers from the British Ad­miralty? It is all very mysterious. ‘Who has the key—the United Farmers, who arc believed to he' dubious on the subject of armaments, or the Imperial Federationists of the Churchill school who want to commit the Dominions to a policy of annual cash contributions directed and eon- tr.illed in LoudonÎ •>

After many years the Department of Educa­tion is to be presented with its proper status in the public service. This is the purpose of a bill introduced to the Legislature by the Hon. J. D. MacLean, whose portfolio in the Oliver Cabinet constitutionally is that of Provincial Secretary. It is common knowledge, of course, that by cour­tesy he is Also Minister of Education and the chief executive of the Provincial Board of Health ; but it is not generally known that these two most vital functions of government in this Province at present are merely “side lines, tacked to the Department of the Provincial Secretary. Recog­nizing the anomaly, Dr. MacLean has taken the step to create in fact a “Ministry of Education’ and provide himself with an official title in keep­ing with the dignity and importance of his office. It must not be supposed, however, that the pro­cedure is anything more than correcting an anomaly. It involves no additional expenditure; it merely gives the Education Department its proper standing as in the other Provinces of the Dominion. This, of course, is not to say that the. absence of this standing has been any im­pediment to the progressive administration of any of Dr. MacLean’s departments. Moreover, with Dr. H. E. Young, an experienced administrator who has done excellent work, remaining as secre­tary to the Board of Health, and with Mr. Willis as Superintendent of Education, efficient team work in the interest of the Province in respect of these two important services should be as­sured.

‘'Extraordinary/*Dr. Michael Clark declared that the

statement was- one of the most ex­traordinary that had ever been sub­mitted to the House. The Govern­ment said it had no naval policy, and then went on to State that it had ac­cepted certain vessels from the Bri­tish Government to replace Canadian ships now obsolete. How long, he asked, would it be before these new ( nes became obsolete in their turn.

E. II. Devlin asked if the Govern­ment had been instructed or advised in any way on the subject by the London authorities before it hau reached its decision.

Ottawa Decides.Mr. Ballantyne replied that the

Canadian Government decided such questions pn its own responsibility.

••Then why is the Minister waiting until after the Imperial Conference?" Mr. Devlin asked.

Sir George Foster intervened witn Ahe promise that the Government would discuss the matter fully with the Opposition in due time. At pre­sent the statement was before the House, and it spoke for itself. There would be no difficulty in interpret­ing it.

B. C. S PRODUCTION.

it was only a few years ago that British Co­lumbia prided herself upon the discovery that the total production of her four chief basic in­dustries had reached $60,000,000 a year. Last year, according to the figures given by the Min­ister of Finance in his Budget Speech on "Wednesday night, that aggregate had grown to $180.000,000. Agriculture produced $61,749,719; the forests, $70,285,094; minerals, $33,421,333 and fisheries, $15,216,397. The enhanced prices of natural products, of course, account for a con­siderable part of the difference, but, afteFmaking due allowance for this factor, it remains clear that the intensive development of the Province's re­sources is proceeding apaçe, and under proper encouragement should continue to do so in ever- widening proportions. World conditions of the last five or six years have stimulated product!op in many lines* in British Columbia as else­where, but while we may anticipate the usual fluctuation when the inevitable read­justment comes, that condition will be only temporary because of the world demand for the products which this Province possesses in large measure. Following this readjustment there is bound to be a big expansion of industrial activity in British Columbia accompanied by a large in­crease in population, and in this Government policy should prove an important factor. That policy should provide not only against the ex­ploitation of our resources by speculators but against their absorption by trusts anil combines. Against both the Government will be expected to be constantly on its guard. **

ANOTHER INVASION?

There is every reason to believe that the Dolly Yard en Mines Company has succeeded in getting Ottawa by the ear. Information already has reached semi-official sources to the effect that the Minister of Justice has requested cause to be shown to him why the Act passed by the Legislature last session should not be disallowed. Without the details of objection it is not pcrmissable at this stage to enter into an examination of the case. From the vqry nature of the measure, however, there appears to be ab­solutely no point upon which the jurisdiction of the Province could be challenged. It is under stood that the period in which the Federal an thorities may disallow the measure expires on the eleventh day of next month; in the meantime the Department of Justice has confined its observa

A WORTHY MOVEMENT.

The Times is heartily in sympathy with the movement aiming at the establishment in this Province of a properly-equipped institute for the training of the blind, particularly of blind chil­dren. The proportion of those afflicted in this way has increased considerably since the war, hut those who were soldiers and lost their sight through wounds, for the most part, it not all ot them, underwent training at St. Dunstan s or some other institute in England where results scarcely short of marvellous are obtained. There are, however, a number of young people who have lost their sight who cannot obtain the train­ing they should have because it is impossible to send them to Ontario or elsewhere where insti­tutes for the blind have been established, and this number will increase with the growth of oui- population. It ought to be possible to establish a provincial institute capable of giving useful and practical training to the blind without involving a very heavy outlay.

It is evident that the weight of technical testi­mony in the inquiry into the Sims charges at Washington is on the side of the officers. It is dear, too. that the experts who are being exam­ined attribute the responsibility for the condi­tions they have assailed to the Honorable Josephus Daniels. Not improbably Admiral Sims has the support of nine out of ten officers of the United States navy.

In view- of the fact that the United States has declined to assume any responsibility for the pro­tection of Armenia and the solution of the Turkish problem, although repeatedly requested to do so, what is the use of Washington going to vthe trouble of sending notes on these matters to the Allies ? These notes cannot possibly help any­thing or anybody and their implication is not complimentary to President Wilson’s own country.

If any of British Columbia’s resources are in the hands of a monopoly it is the business of the Government to take such steps as to do away with such a condition. Those resources should be developed primarily in the interests of the people of this Province, but if they are controlled by monopolies, especially monopolies with head­quarters south of the international boundary line, this will not be done. There has been a lot of loose talk about the “inexhaustible’’ na­ture of our resources. The cold truth is that while our resources are extensive they are a long way from being inexhaustible ; so long,win fact, that unless adequate safeguards are erected it wotild be quite easy for all of them to be controlled by organizations dominated by half a dozen men.

Extensive resources of the Province are being held by interests which are not making any at­tempt to develop them but obviously are holding them for speculative purposes. Here should be a prolific source of revenue ; tax them until their holders do something with them or dispose of them to interests that will do something with them.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL(The Utica Daily Press)

No one need be told that the Government operation of the railroads has not been successful from the pub­lic’s point of view. The service has been poor because, with competition removed, the impetus to do the best to draw trade went with it. The passenger or the ship­per can take what is offered at the price increased fifty per cent, or go without. Since the latter is impossible, the former is mandatory, and there is nothing to do but submit. Of course, this is a big item in the higher cost of living, but that is not all. The Government control has been accompanied by a deficit, and hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars must be paid by the taxpayers. The only people who have derived any ad­vantage are the employees, whose numbers have been increased, whose labors have been lessened and whose pay has been advanced. Naturally they look upon a continuation of these conditions with favor, but how about the taxpayers and the people generally?

Tranquille.It was his intention, the Minister

proceeded, to recommend to the Legislature that the Province take over and operate as a provincial undertaking the King Edward sanl tarium at Tranquille.

Dr. MacLean explained, however that such a proposal would be sub­ject to a number of conditions. In the first place, he reminded the House that the Dominion Government had proposed an arrangement whereby it would construct additional accom­modation at the institution in ques tion to the value of $120,000 on the understanding that the Province of British Columbia agree to assume half of this liability and re-imburse the Ottawa authorities to the extent of $60.000 after the expiration of five years. On the consummation of this transaction, Dr. MacLean said, the Dominion Government on" its part would turn over tc> the Province $120,000 worth of Improvements.

The reason for desiring to take control of the Tranquille establish­ment, emphasized the Minister, was owing to the fact that at the present time the provincial treasury assumed the responsibility for two-thirds of

j the tust of treatment of civilian patients. He considered, therefore, that by reason of the large sums of provincial fund.1 expended on the in­stitution, the people of the Province had a right to expect additional of­ficial control. Nevertheless, tne Minister emphasized the excellent work that had been carried on at the institution under the auspices and management of the Anti-Tuberculosis Society.

Education.Educational matters very naturally

occupied a good deal of attention from the Minister. He observed, with perplexity, that the municipalities were demanding that the Govern­ment assume the whole cost of education in the Province. What a stupendous strain such, a course would be upon the public treasury, continued the Minister, was best re­flected in a reference to the fact that the joint expenditures from munici­pal and government coffers for educational purposes already haa reached the colossal figure of about six million dollars per annum. To this amount, he explained^ the muni­cipalities contributed fifty-seven per cent, and the Government forty-three per cent, it would be seen that tne Province would be shouldering an educational cost amounting to nearly one-half of its whole revenue from all sources.

Dr. MacLean refuted the suggestion that British Columbia was not bear­ing her proper share of the cost or education as compared with other Provinces, Whose treasuries were tapped to the extent of barely one- third of the total as against forty three per cent, in this Province.

School Population.An interesting fact imparted to tne

House by the Minister indicated that during last year the school popula­tion of the Province had increased 4,500. Should that increase he main- | tained for the next ten years. Dr. MacLean prophesied, the present school population would be more than doubled.

From this stage the Minister delvetF- exhaustively into the activities of the Department of Education, singling out for especial mention a numlier of the more important sub-branches. As one a little out of the ordinary he informed the House that the cor­respondency school for coal miners had been eminently successful in its work of preparing practical men for important managerial posts. At the present time, he said, no fewer than eighty-four were taking the course, the cost of which had been reduced from $75, through an outside corres­pondence school, to $25 under the aegis of the department

Hospitals.Dr. MacLean reminded the House

that the Oliver Government had been severely criticized in the matter of

1 hospital support. Comparison with the province of Alberta hud been made by Opposition critics In an en­deavor to demonstrate that British Columbia was far behind her neigh­bor to the East. The facts, however, proceeded the Minister, were entirely the reverse. The Alberta Govern­ment, he said, made contributions in respect of health and hospital main­tenance of $175,000 annually. British Columbia, on the other hand, con­tributed $450.000 annually, in addition to $600,000 for the upkeep of its mental institution.

Nor was that all, Dr. MacLean con­tinued. In Alberta the support given by municipalities to the hoepitals did not exceed twenty-five cents per capita per day. In Manitoba the amount was the same; in Saskatche­wan fifty cents, and In British Co­lumbia sixty cents. To the Regina General Hospital, the Minister ex­plained. the Saskatchewan Govern­ment donated $30,000 annually, while the City of Regina assumed financial liabilities to the extent of $48,000 per annum.

In Victoria, by way of comparison with the Saskatchewan capital, the Royal Jubilee Hospital received $26,- 000 per annum from the municipality and $25,000 from the Government. In respect of the City of Vancouver, Dr. MacLean observed, the municipality

allocated grants to its various cura­tive establishments amounting to $1.28 per head of poulation per an­num. In Victoria the figure was sixty-one cents, and In the smaller municipalities thirty-two cents per head of population per annum. The Jack of a hospital policy in the days of thet old Government, said the speaker, was reflected in contributions to capital oyienditures in respect of hospitals, as ranging from ten per cent, in the case or Comox, to one hundred per cent, in that of Quesnei.

Opposition had declared, he said, that they not had been treated fairly and that favors had been shown to ap­pointees of the present administra-1 tion. To Ihis charge the Minister re­ferred his critics to the report of the Civil Service Commissioner, the .fig­ures Included in which had proved conclusively as a matter of fact that the former Government's servants who were still in the employ of the Service had done better in the way of salary increases than the newer members.

Some Difference.While in the subject of cost of the I

Civil Service, the Minister explained : to the House that British Columbia was obliged to pay out annually the sum of $1,146,000 for services which did not exist in the Provincial Gov­ernments of the Prairie Provinces.] Prominent among these were expend! - ; tures for a I>epartment of Lands; amounting to $470,000; King’s Print­ers Department. $1)3,000; Government Agents. $283,-000, and other sundry expenses.

OXFORD MS EDGE ON CAMBRIDGE TEAM

Have Won 38 Races] Cam­bridge 31; Cambridge

Favored Saturday

London, March, 26.—Thames-side paths and bridges west of Putney will once more re-echo with shouts of “Oxford" or "Cambridge,” according to the sympathies of many thousands of excited spectators, when the an­nual aquatic “Battle of the Blues" is resumed to-morrow, after an inter­val of six years, due to the war.

Saturday's will be the seventy-first boat-race between the Universities, the score standing: Oxford 38, Cam­bridge 31, and one dead heat (1877).

The race is rowed over the historic four-and-n-half-mile course between

I Putney Bridge and Mortlake, and i long before the hour scheduled for : starting, the towing-paths and other i vantage spots will be packed to the j limit, and the police will have a hard 1 task keeping a path for traffic aero»*

the half-dozen bridges along the route. The fleet of steamers and river craft to follow the race is ex- pected to be bigger than ever, and the numerous riverside residences, lawns and Impromptu grandstands w ill provide accommodation for huge crowds.

Cambridge Is FavoredThe psychology of an Oxford and

Cambridge boat-race is curious, for pgople who hardly know an outrig­ger from a bargeman’s wherry are intensely interested in the eighteen university students sporting the light and dark blue college colors. Many have only vague ideas as to the loca­tion of Oxford and Cambridge, and certainly not one in-n thousand could handle a racing oar, but the contest is recognized as one in which pure sport triumphs. There are no prizes for the winners., : Owing to the suspension of row­ing during the war, there was very little data or "form" on which to judge the merits of the two crews but Cambridge has the heavier crew and expert watermen are disposed to favor them, but Oxford has plenty of supporters.

Opposing CrewsThe crews facing the starter will

be:Oxford : S. Earl (capt.), (bow), N.

H. McNeil, (2), T. Durand, (3), R. 9. G. Lucas, (4), D. T. Ralkes, (5), W. C. James, (6), H. W. R. Cairns, (7), M. H. Ellis, (stroke) and W. H. Per- ritt, (coxswain).

Cambridge: H. O. C. Roret, (bow), J. H. Simpson. (2), A. F. XV. Dixon, (3), R. L. McEwen. (4), H. B. Play- ford, (5), J. A. Campbell, (6), A. Swann, (7), P. H. Hartley, (stroke) and R. T. Johnstone, (coxswain).

On the last occasion, in 1914, Cam­bridge won. The record time for the course is 18 minutes, 22 seconds, by Oxford in 1911. In 1912 both boats sunk in rough water, and the race

WOULD EXTEND ROAD FACILITIES

Section of Keating Wants - Abandoned Railways -

Right-of-Way

At the meeting of the Saanich Council last evening the Council promised re-consideratio* of the pro -[ posai to purchase ten acr s of the former Victoria & Skmey Railway right-of-way, between Stelly’s Cross; Road and Keating Cross Road. At a previous meeting the Council, after hearing the report of the Engineer, had decided not to proceed with the matter, on the ground that it would be top expensive.

Trustee Holloway and three resi­dents waited on the Council and ex­plained a willingness to contribute $800’cash, and to undertake to grade the right-of-way, which is already ini fair condition, provided that the Council would set aside a forty-foot road allowance, and dispose of the thirty feet on either side to the front­ages. Mr. Holloway pointed out that the district served one of the best eections of the Saanich berry dis-| tricts, and the majority had no means of access, the natural route being shut off by a ravine. The Saanich Fruit­growers’ Association had endorsed the proposal, Mr. Holloway said. The owners wanted $175 per acre, but the delegation believed $150 per acre was a fair price, and desired the Council to meet the balance of cost.

I>uter in the Council meeting it was decided to ask the Engineer to sub­mit a further report on the subject.

The object of the delegation re­ceived favorable comment during that discussion.

PRESENTS UNSOLVED PROBLEM TO COUNCIL!

Saanich Would Like Share of | Proposed Diversion of

Amusement Taxes

No provision apparently having been made to secure the distribution of the amusement tax, portion of which it is proposed to pay to the municipalities, to district munici­palities whose inhabitants attend | theatres and picture houses in an urban centre, Reeve Watson brought the matter to the attention of the Saanich Couheil last evening. He | recommended a bapis of zone distri­bution like that of motor taxes in Ontario, and mentioned he had raised the issue with F. A. Pauline, | M. P. P. Mr. Pauline asked for an | opinion.

Councillor Dooley thought the city stood to secure the lion's share of the arrangement, as well as by the terms of the jitney arrangements.

It was pointed out that Oak Bay would beneficially profit by the | geographical situation of the Arena.

A motion was adopted, on the pro­posal of Councillor Clark, seconded by Councillor Brooks, to give effect | to the Reeve's suggestion.

known teacher of dancing, is start­ing a popular series of Saturday night dances at the St. John's Hall, Herald Street, to-morrow evening. Good music Is being furnished and it is anticipated that these weekly events will prove as enjoyable as the previous dances arranged under these popular auspices.

☆ v*r irMrs. J. W. de B. Farris was the

hostess at a delightful tea at* her home at Fowl Bay Road on Wed- nesdây afternoon, when her guests included the wives of Cabinet Min­isters and of the members of the Legislature. Mrs. J. H. King, wife of the Minister of Public Works, presided at the tea table, which, |n common with the reception rooms was charmingly decorated with Spring blossoms and greenery.

ir ft ir .The Lieutenant-Governor and Mrs.

Prior entertained at a sessional din­ner party at Government House last night. Covers were laid for thirty- six. The table was artistically ar­ranged with pale pink and white carnations, intermingled with chrys- anthus of the same shade and feathery greenery, the whole form­ing a charming effect in the soft glow of the shaded lamps. An at­tractive programme of music was furnished by an orchestra ensconced in the ballroom.

E. and Mary Gir­ling, sisters of the groom, while the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Crulckshanks acted as flower girl in a dainty dress of white satin, carry­ing a basket of Lent lilies. The bride carried a sheaf of arum lilies and green, while the maids of honor, dressed in pale pink georgette and crepe carried bouquets of pink car- young couple received many useful nations and green.

After a honeymoon at Harri­son Hot Springs, Mr. and Mrs. Girling will reside temporarily in Vancouver, intending to return later to live in Victoria. The flowers and decorations in the church were very beautiful, a number of the bride’s friends hav­ing made the interior* of the church lively with a decoration of lenten lilies, ferns and Ivy.

ft ft ftLocal friends of the bride and

bridegroom, who are popular mem­bers of the younger social set of Vancouver, will be interested in the following wedding announcement: "A quiet ceremony took place last evening in Christ Church at a quar­ter past seven, when Mrs. Roy L. Moore, formerly Miss Edith Geral­dine Mason, only ’daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Effingham Mason, of 2590 Second Avenue, Kitsilano, was married by Major Rev. C. C. Owen, to Capt.

The matron of honor, Mrs. C. F. Covernton, wore a suit of sand tricolette with hat to match, trimmed with silver lace and French rosebuds, with which she carried a shower bouquet of pink roses. The groom was attended by his brother, Major Basil Sawers, M. C. During the signing of the register Miss Amv Wilson sang the "Psalm of.

of the family .were present at the i ceremony. Capt. and Mrs. Sawers i left later for an extended trip I through Eastern Canada. On their j return they will reside In their new I home on Harwood Street.”

ir it irOne of the most attractive wed­

dings of the season, says a Winnipeg dispatch, was the marriage of Miss Nettie Lough, daughter of W. A. Lough, Sherbrooke Street, to Dr. H. r. Mustard, of Vancouver, son of the late John Mustard, of Victoria, which took place at the home of the bride’s, parent, Rev. W. B. Thompson. M. A., pastor of Young Church, officiating.

Vancouver, where they will reside. Dr. Mustard served as a captain with the 12th Field Ambulance, and way awarded the Military Cross.

Members of the Municipal Chapter,I. Ô. D. E„ at their annual meeting yesterday signified their sympathy with the dependents of fallen and disabled soldiers by unanimously passing the following resolution, which will be carried to the Dominion Government:

"Whereas, there appears to be no prospect of any reduction in the high cost of food and clothing which ren­ders them almost prohibitory.

"And whereas, the majority of the widows, orphans and dependents of those who have laid down their 1 ivt*» ( in the Great War. are suffering hard­ships and privations due to mal­nutrition and insufficient clothing, and are unable to save anything out of their meagre allowances to meet the expense of illness or emergency.

"Therefore be it resolved that the Municipal Chapter, 1. O. D. E., Vic­toria. B. C.. do ask the National Chapter. I. O. D. E„ to petition the Dominion Government to increase the present pension scale of said widows, orphans and dependents to an allowance whicli shall he ade- quote to provide them with the necessaries of life, based upon the present actual cost of same, and that there shall be no reduction in the al­lowance made to widowed mothers.”

A Tie Vote.The election of officers resulted in

a tie for the second vice-regency be­tween Mrs. E. C North and Mrs. L. II. Hardie and as the constitution does not permit of a third vice-regent these two nomineees will stand again for election at a date to be announced later. The other officers elected were Mrs. Andrew Wright, as first vice­regent; Mrs. McMicking, as organiz­ing secretary ; Mrs. Gordon Smith, as standard-bearer, and Miss A. B. Cooke, as delegate to the National Chapter at Calgary in May.

The financial statement presented by Mrs. Curtis Sampson, who after holding the office of treasurer for the past eight years is now elected to the office of regent showed that the re­ceipts of the year had totalled $8,- 345.36, and the expenditure $7.862.90, leaving a balance of $482.46. On the motion, sponsored by Mrs. R. S. Day, a standing vote of thanks and sincere appreciation of the service accorded by her as treasurer during the past nine years, was conveyed to Airs. Sampson.

Certificates Presented.Mrs. R. S. Day, convener of the

Patriotic Service Committee, recited the activities of the committee dur­ing the year, her report conveying but a glimpse of the sympathy and help extended by the visiting committee to the families of soldiers, many of whom had suffered much hardship. The prevailing sickness of the past Winter and the high cost of the neces­saries of life had made the lot of the soldiers' dependents an unenviable one, but the visitors with their loving sympathy and every-read y help, had managed to lighten the burden in many cases. Mrs. Day paid eloquent tribute to the invaluable help rendered to the committee in this work by the Y. M. C. A. and the Rotary Club, each of whom had especially interested themselves in the sons of fallen sol­diers. to the benefit of the boys in question. After extending her thanks to many individuals and organiza­tions, Mrs. Day on behalf of the Municipal Chapter presented hand­somely illuminated "certificates of merit” to each of the members of the visiting committee in recognition of their devoted services during the Great War.

During the meeting tribute was also paid by Mrs. David Miller to the fol­lowing members of the Order who during the year received official rec­ognition of their unceasing devotion to patriotic work: Mrs. HazenRitchie, Miss Belson, Mrs. Mortimer Appleby. Mrs. Moore. Mrs. Coipman, Mrs. Gardiner. Miss Thain, Miss Fell, Miss Sorby, Miss Gill, Mrs. Myers, all of whom have been awarded the Can­adian Field Comforts’ badge, and Mrs. Ha sell, who received the War Workers' Badge.

Mrs. R. 8. Boyle, Provincial Presi­dent, gave an interesting account of the recent meeting of the War Me­morial Committee held in Toronto, and explained in detail the various clauses of the proposed scheme. Con siderable discussion ensued on the subject, a number of questions being directed to Mrs. Boyle. At the close of her illuminating talk, she was pre­sented with a bouquet of Ophelia roses, Mrs. Belson making the pres­entation on behalf of the Municipal Chapter.

Saluting the Flag.Mrs. Ralph Smith, M.P.P., urged

the Daughters of the Empire to in­sist upon the salutation of the flag each morning by the assembled schools as one step towards inculcat ing patriotism and love of country into the growing generation.

A resolution of sympathy for Mrs. David Spencer and family in their recent bereavement was passed by a standing vote, as were also votes of thanks to the retiring officers, to Messrs. W. «urtis Sampson and A. F. Griffiths, who kindly audited the books for the past year, to Mr. H. B Johnson and to the press.

A message of greeting and expres­sion of loyalty tendered to the na­tional president, Mrs. A. E. Good- erhum, was passed by the meeting unanimously.

However, we do not mind that as long as the Government will re-establish us and place us on the same basis as the man who did not go overseas. I consider that the pensions should be compensation for what we have lost and should not be taken away from us when we take a vocational training course. Lots of boys will not take up courses, being able -to get a light job and with their pension can make out better than by taking the course."

C. T. Cross thought the matter was an absolute injustice. He considered the pension as a compensation for the loss the soldier had sustained and should not cease when a course was taken. His damage was just the same, lu? contended.

Support Disabled Men.J. Kingham was of the opinion that

$100 was low enough as a pension. "I think the country owes it to these men," said Mr. Kingham. "It Is not a case of charity, but something which the Government should grate­fully do." „

Mr. Kingham suggested that ail pensions should be adequate and equal. "My Idea Is that the man who went overseas and made his sac­rifice—it was a cosmopolitan war remember—should receive equal and adequate pension," he said.

Mr. Cross did not think it ad­visable to interfere with the officers pensions, as the main thing was to obtain a satisfactory pension for the private. If an effort was made to place the pensions on the same basis strenuous resistance might be en­countered and the object of the pre­sent move defeat. "There are amongst our law-givers many officers who would resist such action," declared Mr. Cross.

Amusement Proprietors Pro­test Against Proposed Ticket

Tax Increase

Objections to the proposed in­crease in the present amusement tax to twenty per cent, of the gross re­ceipts was voiced by a delegation or amusement proprietors which waited upon the Executive Council this . morning. They asserted that the amusement business is now at the breaking point owing to the increased costs of operating, and that if the proposed increase were made ef­fective it would result in many of the amusement enterprises being shut down. They pointed out that the present tax is heavier than that in any other Province, that already British Columbia is subject to j» double income tax, tha’t along with all other lines of business operating costs have greatly increased so that most of the amusement concerns are operating very close to the line be­tween profit and loss.

The idea of the tax, they said, was for revenue purposes, but should the proposed Increase become effective that object would be defeated for they could not conceive of any In- stitution. amusement or otherwise, j that is taxed twenty per cent, on its turn-over or gross receipts surviving.It was urged that, contrary to the popular opinion, the tax does not fall upon the public. A twenty per cent, tax on gross receipts would mean a fifty or sixty per cent, tax on net re­ceipts, in fact they preferred the j latter. The proposal would have a far-reaching effect upon proposed new construction by three new con­cerns proposing to erect new theatres I in Vancouver of from $1,200.000 to j $1500,000 in the aggregate. It was a certainty that if the twenty per cent, tax were inforced those pro­jects would he dropped.

Acute Situation.Mr Patrick stated the amusement

situation in Victoria is a particularly acute one, and he declared practically all the moving picture theatres and undoubtedly the present vaudeville theatres will have to close. He pointed to the fact that the proposed rate came as a surprise to the Muni­cipal authorities who would share in the proceeds. But in forcing the amusement places out of business the very object aimed at would he de­feated. A specific tax generally goes into development as. for Instance, the proposed increased tax on auto­mobiles which will go into better roads, but the amusement tax In no manner goes into the improvement of the business, which to-day was a recognized necessity and an asset to the community. Mr. Patrick could sec no reason why the Government should not impose a luxury tax on all forms of luxurle$ thereby deriving a much larger revenue than from the proposed increased amusement tax.

Several speakers declared that the "peak" in amusement prices has been | reached. To cheapen the show» would simply mean the public would stay away.

Frank Patrick stated the North­west Baseball League last year operated at a loss of $16,000. and ll was contemplated this year to make a charge of sixty-five cents, but tha: would have to be raised to seventy- five cents -to meet the new tax in­crease. But the public would not pay that amount he was certain^

The Government Position. Premier Oliver pointed out that

In the- same Way has the cost or Government increased, that the Gov­ernment either had to secure more money or quit.

Clifford Denham, manager of the Royal Victoria Theatre, stated that since that house was erected, it had not made a dollar, and if it had not been connected with Vancouver houses it would have been closed years ago.

The statement was made that the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver ha» not made any profit in the invest­ment of some $625.000 nor has the Rex and that for the six Pantages Theatres in Canada the profits have been less than that concern’s houses in the States, while the admission charges are higher here

Premier Oliver stated he could promise nothing further than con­sideration of the representations made. . ,

Jardine and Lockley .Clash in Lively Meeting at

Esquimalt

Continue us Interruptions, heated arguments and demonstrations from the audience which frequently drowned the remarks of the speakers, punctu­ated the meeting of John Jardine, candidate for the reeveship of Eaqui- malt, at the Sailors' Club last night

The hall was crowded except for a few seats in the front of the room, which were not taken advantage of by some of the audience, who chose to crowd the doorway and rear of the building.

An “Auspicious” Beginning.

All Admire Strong, Robust, Healthy, Vigorous Men

and Women

If You Are Weak, Run-down and Ailing, Let Vinol Enrich Your Blood and Create Strength and

Vitality For You

For the. weak, run-down, anaemic, over-worked, ailing men and women there ig little Joy in life. It is easy to drift into this condition, over­work. a neglected cold, or a severe sickness may have left in its wake, poor, thin, devitalised blood, a slug

In opening the meeting the ebafr-1 gtsh circulation, no vitality and you man. James Robertson, got as far as i are simply dragging around .from to remark that Mr. Lockley had I flay to day. getting up each morningclassed his opponents as liars and cowards and everything short of mur­derers when Mr. Lockley, Mr. Jar- dine's opponent. Who was seated at the rear of the hall, immediately jumped to his feet.

'/The• chairman has made a very callous statement and I ask for a chance to reply,” he said. "I am will­ing to pay half of the expenses of this meeting and I make one request, and that is Mr. Jardine be given half an hour and I be given half an hour with a quarter of an hbur each for reply, and we can let the people act as the Jury."

The Opening Storm.“There is no need for Mr. Lockley

to get excited," said Mr. Jardine, rising to his feet." I do not pro­pose for a single moment to he In­terrupted. I have called this meet­ing to answer Mr. Lockley's insinu­ating remarks. I do not think Mr. Ivockley has any right to make re­quests.

Msiting himself heard Mr. Lockley eventually got out the statement that h'1 wanted to say in front of Mr. Jardine what, he had said behind hLs

Ready to Go.‘ Will you recognize the chair or

get out ?" demanded the chairman to Mr. Lockley.

"1 will get out." was the quick re­sponse, if you or any other man In this room can put me out."

One member rose to protest at the tone of Mr. Lockley’s remark while another man jumped up and re­marked, “If he wants to fight, give him a rifle and 1 will fight him."

When order was restored Mr. Jardine proceeded to deal with an invitation which it was claimed he

’ had received to Mr, Lockley’s meet- ; Ing deifying he bad been Invited.

The Dodgers.“What about dodgers?" called out

a member of the audience. The voter seeking information about dodgers again brought the matter up at an­other stage of the meeting and the speaker walked to the edge of the platform to take direct Issucy “If you are trying to hang it on me I will prove it is a deliberate lie. Friends sometimes do these things." he remarked, and the interrupter rose to remark that it was not one of Mr. Lockley’s friends who did it. "That is a very wide question" re­marked Mr. Jardine. "Very wide" echoed one of the candidate's plat­form supporters.

Quoting a passage from Mr. Lock- ley's speech, “this is a dirty and con­

temptible game," Mr. Jardine asked, "What makes it a dirty and con­temptible game?" A voice inter­posed "dodgers."

Mr. Jardine made a statement in part us follows: "I have no axe to

Just as tired as you went to bed.Now, why not change all this by

taking advantage of your druggist's guarantee that VINOL will enrich your blood, quicken your circulation and carry strength and vigor to every part of your body, or return your money if it fails. Mrs. W. J. Nixon, of Vankleek Hill. Ont , says! “I was sick for months. I had no appetite and could not seem to get my strength back_ I told my doctor I was going to try VINOL, and he said it was fine. I found it gave me a good appetite and I rapidly gained in strength."

For all run-down, nervous, anaemic conditions, weak women, over-worked men. feeble old people and delicate, children there is nothing like VINOL.

1920 for the purpose of earning on the business of builders and general contractors and acquiring the busi­ness of any person who carried on the business of builders and general contractors." Alexander Lockley carried on that class of business. This company has an authorized capital of only $10,000, and the two incorporators of the company are Sidney R. Bowden who subscribes T:>r one dollar share and John Thomas Adam, who is described as a foundry men and also subscribed for just a one dollar share. Mr. Sid­ney R. Bowden 1 understand is an advertising clerk in the employ of the Colonist newspaper, and who has already obtained a loan of $2,200 from the municipality under the Better Housing Act.

Now these two having form­ed this company with $10,i>00 capital at once proceeded to purchase and did purchase the very next day on March 12, 1920, from Alexander Lockley his whole business as a builder and contractor with all the liabilities attaching thereto for the sum of $7,99s, which sainn they pal 1 by allotting to him 7,998 fully paid aliases of one dollar each.

Alexander Lockley, therefore, is a shareholder In this company which now has undertaken to build these houses under the Better Housing Act and he is the holder of nearly four- fifths of the total shares of the com­pany. He can elect his own direc­tors who will only be puppies in his hatnds.

Mr. Lockley’» Position.Vnder the articles of association

the members can hold meetings at any time without notice, by just get- t ng the consent in writing of all the members, and such consent can he given either personally or by proxy and either at the meeting or after it has been called. So all Mr. Lockley has to do is to get the proxies of the two one dollar shareholders authoriz­ing him to consent on their behalf to meetings being held when he ever shall think necessary, and then he can sit down at anytime and place and hold a meeting with himself. Vnder the articles relative to a quorum of directors necessary for the transaction of business it is provided that this may be fixed by the direc-

Van my ! hold his meeting (no notice of which apponent honestly and truthfully says , need be given > and transact all the the same." I business of the company.

The Contract Company. j A Camouflage."A company called 'Eaquimalt l "The company is nothing but

Building and Contracting Company, 1 camouflage." said Mr. Jardine, "and Ltd.' was Incorporated on March 11, designed to get over the decision of

the court and comply with the pros visions of the Municipal Act. I have no hesitation in saying it is a com­pliance with the letter of the law only, but a most flagrant defiance of the spirit of the law."

Mr. Jardine recalled a remark made by Mr. Lockley three years ago at a Pooley campaign meeting and which he said was published in The Times at that time in which Mr. Lockley advised men who worked in the dockyard at that time for the sake of their livelihood net to vota against the Government. "That smacks of Kalserlam and Prussian - ism,” declared Mr. Jardine and "In three years Mr. Lockley has not denied that he made the remark."

"That is dirty," called out a lady member of the audience w’hile Mr. Lockley demanded the statement be withdrawn, and wanted to put it to the audience whether the statement should he withdrawn or not. "You are no Britisher." the lady interrupt­ed addressing Mr. Jardine, “and 1 won't sit and listen to you," she re­marked as she left the room, and called upon other Britishers to do the same.

Reasons For Contest.The speaker went on to give his

reasons for disputing Mr. Lockley’s election, stating that, ten years from now any taxpayer who might find himself in difficulties would have just reason to dispute the legality of anythlhg done during Mr. Lockley’s term of office.

Just Mutton."I made you come before the peo­

ple again, a thing you did not want to do," Mr. Lockley commented.

“I am never afraid to come before the people and to meet an egotistical bluffing fool like you is just mut­ton," Mr. Jardine responded.

Spoiling For Fight.A member of the audience rose,

stating he was one of the executive of the Conservative Association, and wanted five minutes. He was drown­ed with cries of “sit down" and singling out another member of the audience near him who was promin­ent in the objections against him ex­claimed : "If you can make me sit down come and do it.

A lady member of the audience rose and asked, "Why did you not take your beating like a man. Mr Jardine?"

Down to Christian Names.Although the heated remarks

which flashed from one candidate to another simmered down as the meeting progressed and they ad­dressed one another later with ap­parent good fellowship as "Alex" and "John" at question time their dif­ferences lend them to indulge in per­sonalities.

Cries of "platform" greeting Mr. Lockley as he rose to ask a question, he protested he preferred to speak from the floor of the meeting, re­marking he did not like the company on the platform. "I have been once bitten by the unscrupulous John Jar­dine and paid the price and do not want to meet him again." he stated. He accused Mr. Jardine of vindictive­ness in protesting his election.

"T am sorry for you, Alex. You don't seem to realize the seriousness of your position, remarked Mr. Jar-

"Bless your heart, John. It is you who needs the sympathy." replied the opposing candidate.

In spite of his former declaration. Mr. Lockley asked to be allowed the platform for half an hour which was the signal for a demonstration when for two or three minutes cries of "half an hour" and "why don't you give him the platform" drowned the chairman’s frantic efforts to make himself heard. After a time the chairman was able to tell the meeting

Now. dear Editor. I think it is about time all this petty difference was at an end and the navy got justice as well as the army. They have been slighted long enough in Victoria. Why not work together and each take the decoration given to them?

I am sure one deserves it just as much as the other. If the navy boys are going to have political pull, it is about time they had it now.

REPLY TO ALD. SANGSTER.

To the Editor,—May I he allowed to reply in your paper to the flippant remark wtylch Alderman Sangster is reportàg to have made when my let­ter re garbage cans was brought up at the City Council.

The aldermen are honored by the people when elected, and if the rtiantle. of responsibility is too heavy for Mr. Sangster. why wear it?

My letter simply drew the Council’s attention to an inefficient and un­sanitary method of handling cans.

I which in itself was an innovation and 1 a very crude substitute for the old way.

The statement that cans are not rolled is contrary to the facts, as

GARBAGE~HANDLING.

To the Editor,—I am glad to see that the matter of handling of gar­bage cans has at last been brought to the attention of the authorities. It has been unfavorably commented on for some time in this district, and if Alderman Patrick kept his eyes open when he walked along the streets he, could easily tell which way the garbage men had been by the trail of ashes, etc., on the side­walks. Eacji time they empty my cans I have to go with a brush and sweep up aftetr them or else have the ashes trucked into the house. It used to be that two men carried out

interesting to know if his position as alderman makes him exempt to the treatment given his constituent. What became of the wooden handles supplied by the city for the purpose of carrying garbage?

There is really very little saving for most people during the last two months of those six. And, besides, that is the most objectionable part of the

I wonder if they are really Com­rades of the Great War. or only on one Side, that Is the military part of the war. How did they get to France? How did my boy get to France? Through the medium of the navy, of course, even if it is only the small, insignificant Rainbow; and just think of the little Gallano, and such other small craft of the Canadian navy.

To the Editor:—In answer to a letter regarding trained animals by Mr. Reg. Allen, I should like to quote the following written by S. L. Ben- susan and published by the English periodical The Animal’s Guardian. "For the most part foreigners are the purchasers of animal troupes and the majority of them are idle, vicious and cruel. They come before the foot­lights smiling and bowing, now and again caressing their victims, but woe to one that makes a mistake: Stripes.and starvation are the mildest forms of punishment—mutilation is not unheard of. Look carefully at the proprietor of the dogs that leap all round him in an agony of excite­ment and terror, which you my good sir, or kind madam, mistake for Joy friskiness; look carefully and you WMl see him hit or kick the nearest animal ever so slighly; you will see him raise the whip to indicate what is to happen when the performance is over, you will see his cruel eyes sparkle with anger, while the show­man's chronic smile never leaves his

SAYS IMPERIALS NOT LEAVING IN A BODY

R, Pearce, D, C, M„ Issues Statement About Wednes­

day Night’s Affair

<ergt.-Major R. Pearce, D. C. M , to-day issued a statement concern­ing recent amalgamation activities of the Imperial Veterans’ Club and the British Campaigners, about #hich there have been various newspaper stories, particularly concerning the meeting last Wednesday night.

In his statement the Sergt.-Major

“On March 24 the Imperial Vet­erans’ Club met at the call of Major

i Macdonald in the Central Building,I ut which meeting about thirty-five men were present. After some minor matters were disposed of the main event of the evening, as stated by the chairman. Major Macdonald, was to discuss the advisability of dis­banding the club. Personally.^ he said, he was going to join the Cam­paigners, as he was in favor of one big organization for returned men. After the whole thing had been dis­cussed pro and con, Major Mac­donald asked how many would fol­low his lead in joining the Cam­paigners. About six said they would. The secretary of the Imperial Vet­erans In Canada, after dealing at length with the aims and objects of that body, invited all present to at­tend their meeting to be held in the Knights of Columbus Hall on Friday, March 26. A large number present said they would attend and Join when asked by that person after the meeting dispersed. In view of these facts, I cannot see how the story was originated that the Imperials decided to join the Campaigners in a body, as stated in the newspapers of March 25.’*

Two members of the Dominion Executive from Vancouver are com­ing over to attend to-night's meet-

! ing of the Imperial Veterans, when the Imperials will go into the whole future.

“I shall always have a good word to say for Maniac, for when I was in a very bad state of health, it fixed me up in a very short time," said Mr. D. McLeilan, of 1785 2nd Ave.,' East, Vancouver, B. C-, a well-known em­ployee at .1. Coughlan & Son’s ship­yard, to the Tanlac representative, recently.

"About two years ago I began to have the indigestion very badly. After every meal the gas would bloat me up so that my clothes felt too tight for me. I had a choaking feel­ing in the throat, and often my heart would palpitate badly. I got to tie- j test the sight of food, and bread and | butter and a cup of tea was about all I cared for. I was often desperate with headaches, that would last for twenty-four hours, and which just felt as though some one was pound­ing my skull with a hammer. At times also the rheumatism in

% More than three hundred dancers were present at the very enjoyable social held under the auspices of the Yarrow Athletic Association in the K. of P. Hall last night, and the af­fair was declared to be one of the most successful ever sponsored by this popular organization. Intended primarily as a "farewell" to Mr. and Mrs. Norman Yarrow on the eve of th’eir departure for a three months" trip to England, the affair went with j a fine swing from start to finish, and the guests of honor entered with evident pleasure into the spirit of the occasion.

An unusuttily attractive programme of music was rendered by Terry s orchestra. At 11 o’clock the entire company retired to the supper room, wliere dainty delicacies were heaped on snow-white linen. The tables were tastefully decorated with roses and ferns and draped with stream­ers of blue and white, the colors of the athletic association. The ar* rangements, including the refresh­ments. were capably carried out un­der the direction of a committee of Messrs. H. A. Cox, C. Palliser and \V. Spencer, assisted by the ladies.

Mendelssohn's ! two songs without words were I charming in their cameo-like de­licacy, while the Chopin group in the second half of the programme were characterized by liquid grace and beauty. Brilliant playing and dyna­mic force marked the Greig Ballade in G.

Experience of Saanich With Housing Scheme—4, 5 and

6-Room Structures

Statistics' filed with the Saanich Council last evening give some idea of the cost of building in this dis­trict. It was stated that all the houses so far built under the Better Housing Scheme In Saanich for ex- soldiers have been completed with the best of materials, and good work­manship. It is reported that all the service men occupying them are en-' tirely satisfied with the results.

Thr- municipality has received $40;000 on progress payments, and wtiü now make application for the balance, $4,551.

Sites have averaged from $100 to $325 to secure, though In some cases the occupiers already owned a site. Four-roomed houses have cost from $2,773 up to $3,020, five-roomed houses from $2,940 to $3,0X3 and slx- roomed houses from $3,735 to $3,835 to build, exclusive of land.

All payments by ‘ occupiers com­menced February i. and the interestand principal has to be paid to the provincial government on June 1 and December 1 annually.

The Council will sell .the surplus material to the Co-Operative Con­tract Co., at a valuation of $1.045.

THROUGH BANDIT INFESTED COUNTRY

Rev. Howard Taylor Here From Szechuan, Province

of China

Brigandage and looting arc very prevalent in China’s southwestern prôvince, Szechuan, and only the foreign missionaries stand a chance of uninterrupted travel, says Rev.• ..ward H. Taylor, of the Anglican Diocesan Training College. Baonlng. who arrived here yesterday on the Kushlma Maru, on furlough.

-The rich men are subject to seizure to be held for. ransom by the bri­gands. Mr. Taylor stated to The Times, while the poor men are held as serfs by the robbers for the pur­pose of bearing burdens in their pil­grimages of depredation. The auth­ority of the administration is exer- sled at no great distance from the provincial capital, and the conse­quence is that large areas of thé vast mountainous province are at the mercy of the marauders.

Travelling through the province on his way out in January Mr. Taylor stated that he was stopped on a few occasions, hut the magic words, "for­eign missionaries.'” translated into the Szechuanese dialect was suffici­ent to save from molestation.

He stated that the chief difficulty comes from meeting a small party, who are liable to do rash acts. When the bandits travel in parties of twenty or thirty, "there is generally an offi­cer in charge of them with whom it is possible to reason. Szechuan de­velopment is, therefore, seriously crippled by lack of respect for any established government.

Nearly 600 Skaters at Brill­iant Event at Arena Last

Evening

Nearly six hundred skaters garbed in every, conceivable costume, repre­senting every known and unknown nationality, whirled and pirouetted at the Arena last night on the occasion of the annual fancy dress carnival. The glitter of the Ice under the bril­liant lights, the flash of swiftly- moving skates and the moving kal­eidoscope of color furnished by the many-hued costumes formed a wonderful picture of movement and color, and rendered the task of the judges, Mrs. H. R Hodges of The Times, and Mrs. Douglas Hallam, no sinecure.

After mature deliberation the prizes were awarded as follows:

Ladies’ fancy dress—1. Grace Jian- etti, Seattle, Hungarian dancer; 2, Mrs. C. B. Cromble, 454 Admiral's Road, Eskimo.

Gentlemen’s fancy dress—1, F. A. Goddard, 626 Montreal Street, Zulu; 2. C. B. Cromble, 4454 Admiral’s Roiyl. Eskimo.

Messrs. Rowland’s band furnished the attractive programme of music, which added much to the attractive­ness of the event. The rink will close for the season after to-morrow night’s session.

TO DISCUSS AFFILIATIONRetailers to Talk Over Proposal toJoin Retail Merchants’ Association.

The question as to whether or not the Retail Merchants’ Section of the Board of Trade will affiliate with the Retail Merchants’ Association of Panada will be discussed at a meet­ing to be held in the near future. The matter was to ghave received consideration last night at a meet­ing of the section, but other im­portant business forced it to be laid

G. S. .Hougham, seerëtary of the Vancouver branch of the association, will address a meeting to he held at a later date and explain fully the aims and objects of the organization. He expressed the hope last night that the local body would affiliate as the provincial body would be in­complete without Victoria.

At a brilliant recital given before a crowded and appreciative audience assembled in the Empress Hotel ball­room last night, under the auspices of the Ladies* Musical Club, M. Al­fred Mirovltsch, the eminent Russian pianist, again demonstrated the mag­nitude of his art and firmly cemented the ties of sympathy with local music-lovers created at his premier recital here. Seldom has a musical event created so much interest, and no one, least of all M.

The outstanding feature of the evening was the Rachmaninoff “Fan­taisie” for two pianos, Mrs. Green at the first and M. Mlrovitseh at the second piano' So perfect was the attunement of the two artists that while each subjugatbd individuality to the ensemble, the performance re- I mained an outstanding exprajtion of the particular gifts of eacn artist. !

Summer

NO THREATS AGAINST ORGANIZED BASEBALL

New York, March 26.—John A. Heydler, President of the National League, last night challenged Lee Magee, former Cincinnati and Chicago National League ball player, to ex­plode his "biggest bomb in baseball history."

Cincinnati, Ohio, March 25.—After reading the statement made by President Heydler of the National League, Lee Magee late last night

"I have at no time made any threats as to what we will .do when we bring suit against organized base­ball. If I have been quoted as doing so, it was done without my knowledge and against' my wishes."

Robert S Alcorn, Magee’s attorney, said he had filed written charges made by Magee, against certain club officials and they were awaiting hearing before President Heydler. "If the hearing is not granted in a reasonable time we will make public our charges," said Alcorn.

Engagement Is Answer

Seattle, March 26.—Fred Fulton and Young Hefctor, Bremerton, Wasjv, will meet In a four-round bout here to-night. Fulton expects to weigh 212 pounds and Hector 192.

A protest against permitting the bout has been sent by Rev. M. A. Matthews, pastor of the First Pres­byterian Church here, to Prosecuting Attorney Fred C. Brown. Matthews said the affair would be a prize­

fight “infamous and disgraceful," in violation of the city ordinances.

Replying Brown invited Dr. Mat thews to attend the show. He de fended the bout and said it would “resemble a prize-fight almost nearly as ping pong resembled a val engagement.”

TROUT FISHERMEN GET THEIR CHANCE TO-DAY

After several months of patient waiting the trouting fishermen have their opportunity again with the opening of the season to-day. Many availed themselves of the privilege despite the unfavorable weather to walk the banks of the river and once more get into prac­tice at casting the fly at the most promising spots for testing the skill against the elusive fish. The week-end will probably see the great departure of the fishermen for the lakes and rivers. Cowichan River and Cowichan Lake are among the most attractive sports, while nearer home, Madison La.ke will probably be the venue of many of the fishermen during Saturday and Sunday.

THIRD STANLEY CUP GAME AT OTTAWA

But Muldoon Demands Hard Ice If Any More Gaines Are

Necessary

consent to an arrangement whereby the ground would revert to the city in five years, having put ten thou­sand dollars plus ground keeper's salaries and jpther expenses into the lay-out, is nonsense; nor would we consent to the city having any rep­resentative on the board of control, admirable as the choice of the city fathers might be, because his ideas and ours might not always Jibe. Be­ing responsible for all the liabilities, it would be poor business to have the lease without complete control over the policy. If It is the wish of the sportsmen of the city that the coun­cil should control the administration of this stadium, let the city go ahead

always with the scheme. It was our inten­tion to relieve the city by improving a piece of property sadly In need of it: but as there is so much opposition to us and so much fear that the city fathers are ready to give us anything for the asking, and as the whole business has dragged along so slowly that it would be impossible to have the ground ready for this season’s activities we have called a meeting for this week, the purpose of which is to wind up the affairs of the Foundation organizations. FOUNDATION ORGANIZATIONS.

F. M. KELLY,Director.

TR0YT0WN, SIX TO ONE, WINS GRAND NATIONAL

To the Sporting Editor:—It is a well-known fact that in every city certain individuals are to be found who deem it is their sole right and privilege to protect the poor incom- pentent representatives of the people from being badly done by unscrupul­ous applicants for things in the power of a governing body to grant. Vic­toria is no exception to the rule, is particularly favored in fact ; for we have the brand that place their own interests to one side, enduring fin­ancial losses even, and apparently eager at all times to make sacrifices so long as the city fathers can be prevented from accomplishing any­thing of a progressive nature. We dearly appreciate the jealousy of the citizen who is so unselfish himself that he will forfeit his own interests in daily attempts to show up the de­tails of a transaction in which his sterilized imagination sees the hor­rible taint of selfishness. This zeal­ous watch-dog of the city's welfare may be net unlike his four-footed prototpye, which does not bark at the robber, but sometimes at the moon, and once in a while a stray cat may be the cause of his voice be­ing heard in the land. Evidently, the Foundation organizations is a stray cat.

The public has been kindly In­formed that we are a gang of slick schemers. We are endeavoring to get something for nothing, and will make a pile of money at the city's expense. Details in connection with the operation of Royal Athletic Park hove been quoted. We would like to believe that, his knowledge of play­ground receipts were official, and that we had been in on a deal where so much money was made in a sea­son at Royal Athletic Park. It is im­possible to make money out of an amateur play-ground, that is suffi­cient money to give the operators more than the price of a decent ban­quet at the end of a season. And how many years of professional sport successfully concluded have we ever enjoyed? We don't remember many.Ask the official at the city hall what the back taxes are at Royal Athletic Pork. Then ask th» representative of the owner how many organiza­tions, amateur or professional, have fulfilled the full conditions of their obligations. Apart from the Founda­tion organizations not many. He could also tell you that officials <>f * certain organizations who have lately . been active in trying to block the , stadium proposition tried to have us ousted from our lease and the grounds turned over to them. These people had been in control of the grounds before, and know how much money j * -there is in operating a. play-ground, j

;hne people tïÆ? “ aZd l Bettschen Says Toronto Teamto pay anything: and s\s a result of j i K|nt Flimhle Fnrall the money that lms been made tax j lo liUl LII^IUIC I Ularrears amount to more than six, thousand dollars on Royal Athletic j Park. It may he sold for taxes at j any time, which would mean that Victorians would be without a con­venient place for staging athletic contests.

At Disposal of Amateurs.Last year we operated the Royal

Athletic Park. All we wanted to do was to break even, and the park was always at the disposal of amateurs.We didn’t make any money. Since Thanksgiving Day, there have been only two games at which an admis­sion was charged. Every Saturday there has been a football fixture In the park, from which we get no re­turns. although we have to find the rent as well as pay water bills and keep the grounds in half decent shape. Yet the Individual who knows all about It, states that the stadium proposal is nothing but a money­making scheme. It is too bad he can­not understand that some people are fooliph enough to waste their time in the promotion of athletics.

As to the part of the Foundation organizations in connection with the

Ottawa, inarch 26.—The decision to play the third game of the Stanley Cup series between Seattle, the Coast champions and Ottawa, holders of the eastern title, was reached yester­day after a meeting of club members and the players, the latter, finally going into session and deciding that the third and probably the deciding game of the series shall be staged at the local arena to-morrow night.

Manager Muldoon was anxious that the game be played on hard Ice but bowed to the decision of the players. He explained that while he thought his team would win on a hard sur­face, he was willing to abide by their decision.

"However," the coast magnate said, “if any further games are necessary, and I am confident our team will win, we Insist that they shall be played on hard ice."

There is hope that a cold spell of sufficient intensity will intervene be­tween now and Saturday to allow of \ referee.

Major-General John F. Ryan, who commanded the Twenty-Seventh D1 vision In France, was toastmaster. Scores of prominent amateur sports­men attended.

A temporary ring was built In the centre of the banquet hall In antici­pation of a scheduled exhibition bout between Carpentier and Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, of Philadelphia, presi­dent of the club. The exhibition con­sisted of two rounds of two minutes

Carpentier aroused the one thou­sand guests to a high point of en­thusiasm by his speed, clever duck­ing and feinting. No heavy blows were struck. The men boxed in their shirt sleeves. Tex Rickard was the

A special scraper is being put on the ice to-day and several inches of ice will be shaved off the surface.

Toronto, March 26.—Moat of the Sudbury team left for home yester­day in aplte of the "bombshell" which Bill Bettschen of Regina, secretary of the Canadian Amateur Association, who is speeding to Joronto to attend the annual meeting, dropped a wire last evening from Schreiber to have the Sudbury team held In the city until he arrived owing to the fact that the University of Toronto team was not a member of the Canadian Association and was not eligible for Allan Cup finals with the Falcons of Winnipeg here to-morrow night.

Secretary Hewitt of the O.H.A. and Claude Robinson of the Allan Cup trustees, said that the inter-col­legiate league had paid its dues after being out during the war and was a bona fide member of the association to such an extent that it had been included in the draw that was made last Spring. This draw, according to

stadium scheme, we would like to ex- | officials, was duly approved byplain a thing or two. The father of Mr Hettschen. the proposition is Mr. Jack O'Brien, i

imarcredit to the cityO'Brien is naturally anxious to see the thing assured. That is his sole reason, we believe, In boosting It.When the scheme was first put up to the directors of the organizations It was with the understanding that the sporting organizations of the city would stand behind It. and so we ap­pointer a delegate to attend the first meeting, and duly instructed him that only on condition that a gov­erning hoard comprised of one rep­resentative from each organization in the city should be appointed would otir body have anything to do with It.Then we were told that It was the unanimous choice of the meeting that the Foundations organizations handle the preliminaries, and that the others would fall| In line when called upon.When the aldermen were approach­ed. we must state that the matter was favorably received, the board evidently having the best Interests of the rising generation at heart: and with a long list of citizen's signatures was submitted in connection with a petition to grant the site, we thought that our troubles were over.

Proceeded to Incorporate.We had started something, how­

ever. and wanted to see it through; and when we found that we were practically alone, that the whole thing had been wished on us, and that we would have to be responsible for the finding and expenditure of ten thousand dollars at least, we pro­ceeded to incorporate so that we

Her Re-appearance

Madame Petrova, the distinguished star, in a symphony fit beauty, color and song, playing u limited engage­ment in vaudeville, will be the stellar attraction at the Orpheum to-night and Saturday matinee and night. Several years ago Mme. Petrova re­tired from the spoken drama to be­come a screen star. Her success on the film was so great that to-day there are few players acting before the camera that equal her popularity or exceed her earning capacities. Mme. Petrova has stated that her return to vaudeville does not mean that she has retired from moving pictures. There will be a breach of a few weeks between vaudeville and pictures and managerial sagacity has placed this time at the disposal of vaudeville patrons. There is a dis­tinctiveness, a subtlety, u “grip" about her portrayals limned eternally upon the minds of her audience. Her art Is a revelation, her beauty of face and form an .enchantment. Petrova is one of the most versatile women on the stage. She plays comedy or tragedy. She sings and she imitates. She is of striking appearance and of forcible but exceedingly attractive personality.

have turned to the printed story?One reason is that the name of a

well known author is of value for advertising and publicity purposes, but there is another ail Important reason.

When an author writes a novel or a story, he gives his work a world or thought and knows that unless his work is good, and his plot, dialogue and action thoroughly interesting, he has litle chance of getting an editor to accept it. He will take a long time writing it and will add to ana alter his manuscript until he feels it is almost flawless and will then send it to a publisher or syndicate.

He does not insult his own intelli­gence by submitting a story which has been carelessly developed or put together, because he knows it only means loss of time or prestige. He openly recognizes tha* intelligence of editors of magazines and journals and respects it.' He studies each magazine’s requirements and does not send material which he knows is unsuitable.

Government Party Has Sub­stantial Support on Eight-

Hour Bill Division

ATTORNEY-GENERALSTATES HIS REASONS

Legislative Press Gallery,March 25, Afternoon Sitting.

Although the Legislature decided this afternoon that it would take no action to pass legislation for the es­tablishment of an eight hour day in the saw mills of the Province at this juncture, those workers whom the bill sought to benefit will have the satisfaction of knowing that the soldier member for Alberni did his level best to obtain sufficient support for his measure.

Coming SoonOn the other hand the Attorney-

General's explanation of the reason for his action in moving a six months’ hoist carried with it suf­ficient promise that a universal eight hour law throughout the country would follow upon the exercise by the Dominion of Canada of her privi­leges and obligations under the Treaty of "Peace. In other words Mr. Farris assured the i ouse that the limit of time that could elapse before those countries which had ratified the convention must enact eight hour legislation could not go beyond July 1, 1921. On that account he urged the House to support his amendment and to vote down the amendment to the amendment moved by the Social­ist member for Newcastle which sought to have the bill read a second time in “two weeks and three days.”

On the division being taken the six months' hoist was favored by a vote of twenty-seven to fifteen. All the soldier members save Kenneth Duncan, and the Opposition, as well as Hugh Stewart and W. D. Willson, Liberals, vpted against the Govern-

One-sided Hearing.1. A. Buckham, Government mem­

ber for Columbia, opened the debate with the intimation to the House that he proposed to vote for the Attor­ney-General’s amendment a-fter hear­ing both the expressions of opinion of Mr. Farris and the Premier.

Major Burde failed to see why the member for Columbia should frame his action after having heard one side of the case only.

The Premier objected to criticism of this nature and reminded the House that the soldier member for Allterni would have to confine his remarks to the Ha w'thornth waite amendment, to which the gallant major observed that his remarks had reference. It had stuck in the major’s mind that the Premier had been guilty of a confession of having spoken to both the original motion and to the amendment of the Attor­ney-General. With that in view the soldier member for Alberni could not understand why the same latitude was not allowed to him.

And to the Premier’s renewed pro­test Major Burde said: "Protestall you like; I am going to have a show in this House as well as you." Driving home his insistence the Al­berni member warned Mr. Oliver that he was not to be “bull-dozed."

Still StrayingAs the heated atmosphere cleared

It was agreed all round that the Major would be quite in order if he would confine his observations to the subject matter of the second amend­ment and not wander Into a criticism of fprmer speakers. Not to be gain­said, however, the soldier member proceeded to parallel to the House the slowness of Ottawa's action in connection with the Fisheries In­quiry report with what would happen were the LegWature to await action from the coming conference.

Again the Premier protested against defiance of the rules of the debate, and again Mr. Speaker nodded ap­proval with the suggestion to the Alberni member that further trans­gression would bring about the ene- vltable “naming.” Realizing that the Speaker’s authority must be obeyed the gallant major how'ed to the rul­ing of the chair and expressed his regret for any display of heat of which he might have been guilty. •

Enter LawyerThe member for South Vancouver

drew another herring across the path and suggested that the whole dis­cussion on the second amendment wa^ out of order for The simple ren-» son that Its mover already had spok­en to tfie question. The Speaker did not agree.

Mr. Weart: “In spite of the lan­guage of May......... .” But the SouthVancouver member’s remarks were drowned In cries of “order, order.", Major Burde again popped up and with contrite spirit expressed regret to the Chair. But he undid the good work almost immediately by refer­ring to the Premier, who stoutly ob­jected to any further wandering from the point. The wrangle continued, much to the amusement of gallery occupants. .

Mr. Farris at this juncture explained his reason for mov-1 ing the six months’ hoist. He i repeated his belief that long before the d$)te set for universal eight hour law in the Alliéd countries. Canada | would lie enjoying the privileges in all trades—not merely in isolated cases—of curtailed hours of labor in conformity with that proposed for the saw mills of this Province by Major Burde’s bill.

Names Delegate*.-*—- „He remarked that he hoped to he

able to accompany Messrs, J. ,\ Mc- Vety and J. J. Goughian as the third delegate from British Columbia to the interprovincial conference next month.

Colonel McIntosh saw no reason for the Province to hesitate in pas­sing the bill, and his sentiments were echoed by the member for North Vancouver.

Major Burde took a last fling In this part of the controversy by re­minding the House that a similar tangle of procedure occurred last year and a similar recourse to plain methods had to be taken.

BILLS FORWARDED IN HOUSE YESTERDAY

Animals' Act Progresses a Stage; Settlers' Rights Act

Is Reported

Legislative Press Gallery, Evening Sitting, March 25.

Substantial progress was made in the Legislature this evening on a number of bills approaching the com­mittee stage. The Animals Act was reported complete with amendments, while the bill to amend the Vancouver Island Settlers’ Rights Act was re­ported, and will receive its third reading at the next sitting of the House.

The Hon. William Sloan. Minister of Mines, explained the object of his bill to amend the Allied Forces Ex­emption Act, 1918. The minister in­formed the House that a large num­ber of representations had been made to him by various returned soldiers’ organizations throughout the Pro­vince suggesting that the period of operation for the act in question should be extended for an additiona.1 twelve months. No objection was raised, and the bill was read a sec­ond time without discussion.

Medical Act.Technical in nature and dealing

exclusively with the administration by the British Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, of the af­fairs of the profession it represent*, is a hill to amend the Medical Act, sponsored by the Hon. J. D. Mac- Lean, Minister of Education and Provincial Secretary.

The Minister explained thàt under the provisions of the Canada Medi­cal Act any medical practitioner in the Dominion of Canada is entitled to practice in any Canadian Province after having been in active practice for a period of ten years. There was a reservation, however, in the case of British Columbia, which required such a medical practitioner to under­go an examination in the final sub­jects before he could be permitted to practice in this Province. The bill be­fore the House, which was given its second reading, conforms" to a pro­posal on the part of the College to recede from its former position, s6 that British Columbia would be on all fours with the other Provinces of Canada.

In future, therefore, it will not be obligatory for a medical man desir­ing to practice in this Province to take hie examination In the final subjects.

Prince George.The bill to validate a by-law pass­

ed by the Council of Prince George received Its Second reading, and will be committed at the next sitting of the i ouse. In moving the advance of the bill, Mr. Farris explained its object in detail pointing out at the same time some of its phases, over which hè had -found it necessary to porider. He was em­phatic, however, In his explanation that the measure in question merelv validated the by-law and did. not validate the tax sale held, under the by-law.

J. W." Weart. Government member for South Vancouver, took the stand that there were certain phases of the tax sale which should land some ,,f those who took part in it behind the bars. The member for North Van-

Farris, At­torney-General and Minister of j Labor, thl/3 afternoon, said he was of the opinion that there was sufficient, reason for asking that the time of the House be taken up in selecting a committee to investigate the matter in question.

"There are indications of excep­tionally heavy travel across the At­lantic this season," declared C. A. Whitelock, Cunard Line manager at Vancouver, who is in Victoria to-day following a business trip to New York.

"In anticipation of this the Cunard Line is shaping its policy with an eye

| to taking adequate care of the big business that will he offering between

I United States and Canadian ports and the United Kingdom. •

•Already the hooking are very heavy and in some of the services we are booked up to May." |

Steps are now being taken for the resumption of the Canadian service of the Cunard Line between Montreal and London, which service was in­terrupted by the wholesale com­mandeering of tonnage at the outset of the war.

A Voyage devoid of outstanding in­cident was reported by Capt. M. Machida, commander of the Japan­ese liner.

The commanders of trans-Pacific liners carrying silk are always con­scious of the imperative necessity of completing the voyage with the least possible delay owing to th<‘ heavy in­surance carried on all silk cargoes. The K ash I mas silk cargo amounted to 2,500 hales of raw silk and 500 cases of ?dlk goods, and valued at $6,000.000. Alt arrangements have been made for the prompt dispatch of the silk to the East immediately the liner ar­rives at Seattle.

These measures, which were given their second reading at the evening eeesion of the House, provide for the extension of the existing acts until March 31, 1921.

The War Relief Act extends, in modified form, the provisions ai the existing act under which the litigant must show that the person being sued Is not a soldier. While the new bill extended this relief for a year, the Attorney-General stated, it re­quired to appear before a judge and apply for n stay of proceedings.

Similkameen Member Voices Sharp Criticism of Handi­

caps on Building

Legislative Press Gallery,Evening Sitting, March 25.

Setting out with a definite belief that the Province of British Columbia is firmly .in the grip of a lumber monopoly and that the Government of the day Is a passive resister to a condition of affairs which allows the. lumber barons to wax wealthy by a process of sky-rocketing prices, W. A. McKenzie, Opposition member for Similkameen, commenced the debate on the budget at this evening's sit­ting of the Legislature.

Tribute to Mr. Hart.Before proceeding to his exclusive,

theme the dry belt member paused to pay tribute to the Hon. John Hart. Minister of Finance, for the masterly manner in which his budget speech had been delivered.

Mr. McKenzie acquainted the House at the outset with the fact that when lie is not engaged in per­forming his legislative duties he fol­lows the calling of a practical builder. !• rom a practical standpoint, there­fore, the Opposition member reviewed the lumber situation during the past few years, pointing out that prices'of all building material had jumped tremendously, while there had not been a commensurate increase in the price of labor nor of equipment.

The member for Similkameen said that a house which a few years ago could have been constructed for $1.250, now cost $2,500, and that one year ago red cedar shingles cost $2.60 per thousand, while two months later they were priced at $6.50. Lath had also soared “out of sight." he eon tinned, until an article which cost one year ago $5 per thousand was selling for $22 per thousand across the line, and American buyers were offering a bonus of $25 per car for every ear on which they could get their hands. He spoke of finishing lumber as having reached a prohibitive high level, and maintained that the development of the Province was being sadly retard­ed through the operations of the "lum­ber barons," whom he characterized as mostly "Oregon and Washington timber magnates."

Lack of Houses.The. speaker went on to tell of the

difficulty being met in the f’ity of Vancouver and the City of Victoria, where, he maintained, public organi­zations were asking for a discontinu­ance of the work of the publicity com­missioners because of the fact that it was useless to urge people to come to those centres when they could not be housed.

"In a Province which boasts the greatest timber resources in the world," continued the member for Similkameen, “this is an absurd situ­ation, and I submit, Mr. Speaker, that it could not continue if the British Columbia Government took the neces­sary steps to relieve the situation."

Following up this argument. Mr. McKenzie referred to a statement appearing in The Vancouver Province and The Victoria Times and credited to the Minister of Agriculture, in which an outline was given of the co-operative lumbering enterprise be­ing carried on at Camp Lister, near Creston, by the returned soldiers. The article, he said, referred to the purchase by the Government of two timber leases for $32,000, which high price appeared to have been war­ranted, he admitted, but which had permitted the holders of the lease to reap a profit of $29,000. Logs were being laid down at the veterans' saw­mill for $4.60 per thousand, and the lumber was costing at the outside not morje than $15 per thousand.

Solving the Problem.Mr. McKenzie said as a builder he

had investigated this situation, and had found conclusive proof that the returned men through their cd-oper- ative methods, and with the assist­ance of the Government, had appar­ently solved the lumber problem. He urged the administration to make such provision in the case of every new settlement, area, asking that the returned men at least be granted the advantages of cheap building ma­terial.

The Similkameen member then turned to what he said was a most vital question with builders through­out the Province, namely, standardi­zation. He declared that the layman often paid for first-class material when he actually received third-class, and that the present method of mark­ing lumber enabled the unscrupulous dealer to tamper with the marks to his profit. He suggested that the Gov­ernment inaugurate a system of Gov­ernment marking, which would do a way-for all time with what he char­acterized^ s a seripus menace.

Mr. McKenzie met the chance argument that the Government could not force the cutting of timber where Crown grants had been Issued, by referring to the Government's policy

ith regard to the settlement of wild lancls. He spoke of the Government's attitude towards forcing the develop­ment of lands which had been held out of cultivation by speculators, through the operation of the Land Settlement and Development Act. and expressed the opinion that a similar policy could be followed by the. Gov­ernment In respect of timber.

Too Much Sympathy.In conclusion Mr. McKenzie said :

“I am firmly convinced. Mr. Speaker, that too great sympathy is Jieing shown the lumbermen of to-day by the Government because of alleged hard times during the war years. It is true, perhaps, that some lumber­men operated at a small profit, or with no profit at all. And it may be that some lost money. But 1s that any reason. Sir, why the already stag­gering cost of living should be sent further skyward just in order to pour money into the coffers of the lumber­men? If they operated for small pro­fit during the lean years they, but

since war profits were not in par­ticularly good odor, we should not to-day have the spectacle of the Gov­ernment shutting its eyes while the greedy hands of the lumber trust are thrust deeper and deeper into the pockets of the workingman."

PRESSURE OF TAXES ON CONSUMING PUBLIC

Measure Pursues Chequered Course, With Various

Amendments

Legislative Press Gallery.Afternoon Sitting, March 25.

Farther consideration of amended sections of the Elections Act occupied two hours this afternoon, but marked progress was made before the committee ruse and asked leave to sit again. Keen concentration was shown by those members sufficiently interested to follow the act through committee, and several important changes were permitted by Premier Oliver. One of these provides that deserters from His Majesty's Army or Navy, who were pardoned through the King’s war-time parole, shall be deemed to have been restored to citizenship.

It is further provided that voters* lists shall be kept posted in the of- fires of the registrars up to the sitting of the court of revision. Premier Oliver, at the request of the Leader of the Opposition, agreed that the appointment of a substitute for the registrar, in case the latter should be unable to act, should be left to the Provincial Secretary, jor to “any other member of the Executive Council."

Not Worrying.Mr. Ross argued In vaiit against

the clause providing that a voter should be registered only in the rid­ing in which he resides. Mr. Bowser, residing in Victoria, and voting in Vancouver, said he would be denied this. He bowed to the ruling, how­ever, and declared that he felt there would be sufficient votes polled to ensure his return to the House, and that as he had announced his in­tention of running in Vancouver, the clause would make little difference. Mr. Farris Jovially assured Mr. Bowser that if he felt the extra vote of the Leader of the Opposition, polled for himself, would be neces­sary to elect him. he wôuld be in favor of granting the point.

The most important, change an­nul ged for provides that there shall be used a ' counterfoil'* ballot, one which will have a detachable stub bearing the same number as that on the ballot itself. The number on the stub will be visible to the returning officer as the ballot is deposited. This will permit of a check by the official and jirevent the use of the "chain" or "floating" ballot, the explanation of which and its operation by the Leader of the Opposition, was most enlightening, declared the Premier.

That the placing of a small tax upon the gross receipts of the retailer would be a more equitable and fairer method of taxation than the Busi­ness Profits War Tax was the opin­ion of the Retail Merchants' Section of the Board of Trade, which held a session last evening. For nearly two hours the members discussed the pro­posal of the Federal Government to place a tax of one-half of one per cent, or one per cent, on the gross sales or receipts of the year, and fin­ally adopted the following resolution:

“Resolved, that this meeting favors the levying of a tax of one-half of one per cent, upon the gross receipts on the lines as suggested by the Fed­eral Government, provided that this tax shall replace the Business War Profits Tax as applied to the retail

Government Wanted Views.The members were assisted in the

consideration of the question by the presence of G. S. Hougham, Secre­tary of the Vancouver section of the Retail Merchants' Association of Can­ada. He read the correspondence which he had had with the Dominion secretary of the association relative to the question. He assured the meeting that no bill had been put through the House, but that the as­sociation was anxious to receive the views of all retailers In response to a request from the Government. He was unable to say whether or not the new proposal was an additional tax, or would replace the existing meas-

"If the proposal is that a tax on the gross sales shall be an additional source of taxation it will be very un­popular. and not receive the support of either the wholesaler or retailer," declared G. Gamlen. “What the re­tailer wants to-day is relief from tax­ation. I’ll be in favor of the new tax if it replaces the Business War Pro­fits Tax as then we will know where we stand, and how much our tax will be."

Mr. Gamlen explained how the riianufacturers, wholesalers and re­tailers were uncertain of the amount of tax they had to pay under the Business Profits War Tax, and in order to play the game safe made a liberal estimate and the consumer had to pay.

Tax Manufacturer.D. Miller thought that if ihe new

legislation was to replace the old tax the fairest way would be to place the tax on the manufacturer, and then the wholesaler and. retailer would each pay their share. He thought it unjust to tax the sales of the three as it would be a case of the snowball getting larger as it went on. Instead of reducing the high cost of living It would force it "up.

“The only place to raise a tax is at the last point of contact where the goods are handed by the retailer to the consumer," stated W. W. Ballard. He intimated that there might be some difficulty in collecting the tax on inexpensive . commodities, but thought that probably stamps could be used. Mr. Ballard was of the opinion that if the manufacturer alone was taxed the imported goods would escape the tax.

R«i«e the Tariff.“The last thing we want to do is

to tax the industries of this coun­try," argued A. Brockhurst. "What we want to do is to raise our import duties and make the outsider pay."

Mr. Hougham advocated as an al- -ternative to the proposed tax a pay­roll tax, which would reach every in­dividual In the eommunitv. a lot of people at present who kept shifting from one town to another noter con­tribute a cent in taxes, hè said. This would be a means of creating a new sense of citizenship. He favor­ed the introduction of some tax which would inflict the minimum in­convenience on the consumers. Guessing at the Business War Pro­fits Tax he branded as being one of the causes for the high cost of liv- ‘ag. He did not take favorably to the Idea of selling stamps as a tax. stating that this form had proven ù most iniquitous nuisance to the druggists. He felt quite certain that the Government would not listen to the call for the increase of the tariff as the whole volume of sympathy was in the opposite direction.

Trouble in Book-keeping.W. P. Anderson scented trouble in

the collection of -money from Chinese and other foreigners whose knowl­edge of English and book-keeping was very elementary. He thought it would be necessary to revolutionize the system of book-keeping and that if the Government wished to gather in a tux of 1 per cent, it would he necessary for the retailer to put on 2^t per cent, in order to meet ad­ditional expenses. He thought there would be considerable falsification and that there would need to be a flock of inspectors to keep e veryone in the right channel. In his opinion the manufacturer was the right man to collect from.

R. B. Price did not think that the Government would let the retailers shift the tax back on to the manu­facturers. The Government was quite able to look after the big men. he contended, hut many small men were escaping and these were the ones who miist pay.

Apparently perturbed over the pro­posal to change the boundaries of the counties of Vancouver, Cariboo and Atlin, which is suggested in the bill introduced by A. M. Manson, Gov­ernment member for Omineca, W. R. Ross. Opposition member for Fort George, declared that a large section

of country would be affected and great inconvenience caused many ! people.

He produced a map of the Province and pointed out that by the proposed change in the boundaries residents of Cariboo County would, in many instances, be forced to journey to Sm it hers to attend to certain legal business arising from time to time. , He further claimed that citizens of I Ocean Falls and other places in the j affected area would find themselves in Atlin county rather than in Van­couver county. Mr. Ross said he did not blame his friend from Omineca for endeavoring to turn all the busi­ness he coukl towards his own riding, but he felt the people affected should have something to say before the change was made.

The Leader of the Opposition spoke along the same lines, .pointing out that citizens of Bella Coola, Kims- quit and other coast centres would have to Journey to Prince Rupert in- j stead of to Vancouver as at present, i and owing to steamer schedules this j would entail a hardship. For in­stance, he said, certain steamers ran ! from Vancouver to Bella Coola, j Ocean Falls and return, whereas the ! task of making a Journey to Prince j Rupert and return would sometimes • prove a costly and inconvenient undertaking.

Hon. T. D. Pattullo, Minister of Lauds, and representative for Prince Rupert, adjourned the debate.

DOUBLE BEAUTYOF YOUR HAIR

“Danderme” creates mass of thick, gleamy waves

In a few moments you can trans­form your plain, dull, flat hair. You can have it abundant, soft, glossy and full of life. Just get at any drug or toilet counter a small bottle of ‘Danderine" for a few cents. Then

moisten a soft cloth with the Danderine" and draw this through

your hair, taking one small strand at a time. Instantly, yes, immediate­ly, you have doubled the beauty of your hair. It will be a’ mass, so soft, justrous and so easy to do up. All dust, dirt and excessive oil is re­moved.

Let Danderine put more life, color, vigor, and brightness in your hair. ThiT-stimulatlng tonic, will freshen your scalp, check dandruff and fall­ing hair and help your hair to grow* long, thick, strong and beautiful.

ARE DUE TO ACIDITYTells Safe, Certain, Speedy Relief for

Acid Indigestion.

So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, gas, sourness, stomach-ache and inability to retain food are in pro­bably nine cases out of ten, simply evi­dence that excessive secretion of aclti is taking place in the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acid indigestion.

Gas distends the stomach and causes that full, oppressive, burning feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inflames the deli­cate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the excess development or secretion of acid.

To stop or prevent this souring of the food contents of the stomach and to neu­tralize the acid, and make it bland and hannless, a teaspoonful of bistfratvd magnesia, a good and effective corrector of acid stomach, should be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water after eating or whenever gas, sourness or acidity Is felt. This sweetens the stomach and neutralizes the acidity in a few moments and is a perfectly harm­less and Inexpensive remedy to use.

An antiacid, such as bisurated mag nesla which can be obtained from any druggist in either powder or tablet form enables the stomach to do its work nroperly without the aid of artificial digestants. Magnesia comes in several forms, so be certain to ask for and take only Bisdrated Magnesia which is espe­cially prepared for the above purpose.

SAGE TEA DARKENS HAIR TO ANY SHADE

Don’t Stay Grey! Here’s an Old-Time Recipe That Any­

body Gan Apply

The use of Sage and Sulphur foi restoring faded, gray hair to its na­tural color dates back to grand­mother’s time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked ap­pearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.

But brewing at home Is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com­pound," you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addi­tion of other Ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.

A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it

( ’has been applied. You simply dam­pen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy

Thin, Nervous People Need Bitro-PhosphateWeak, thin people—men or women—

are nearly always nervous wrecks; thus conclusively provin’g that thinness, weakness, debility and neurasthenia are almost invariably due to nerve starva­tion. Feed your nerves and all these symptoms due to nerve starvation will disappear.

Eminent specialists state that one of the best things for the nerves is an or­ganic phosphate known among druggists as Bitro-Phosphate, a live-grain tablet of which shouid be taken with each meat. Being a genuine nerve builder and not a stimulant or habit-forming drug, Bitro-Phosphate can he safely taken by the weakest and tfiôst delicate .sufferer, and the results following its use are often simply astonishing.

By strengthening the nerves, weak tired people regain energy and vigor- thinness and angularity give wav to plumpness and curves; sleep returns to the sleepless; confidence and cheerful­ness, replace debility and gloom; dull eyes become bright, and pale, sunken cheeks regal q the pink glow of health.

CAUTION—Bitro-Phosphate. the use of which is inexpensive, alho wonderfully promotes the assimilation of food, so much so, that many people report marked gains of weight in a few weeks. Those taking it who do not desire to put on flesh, should use extra care in avoid­ing fat-producing foods.

Ottawa, March 26.—Before debate on the second reading of the Fran­chise Bill is resumed this afternoon Hon. Arthur Meighen, Minister of the Interior, will make a statement ae to the effect of the disfranchising clause in the bill. Interpretations placed on the clause during yester­day's. argument were, it is under­stood, not in accordance with the in­tentions of the Government when the bill was framed. Mr. Meighen there­fore is to state .the Government's position ip the matter.

Mr. Guthrie, the Solicitor-General, moving the second reading of the Franchise Bill yesterday afternoon, followed with n detailed review of franchise legislation past and present arçd opened the debate on the prin­ciples of the bill. It was in the even­ing that a tempest arose. Mr. Par­dee, who was elected as a supporter of the Government, and now has re­turned to the Liberal Party, had been speaking on disfranchisement of aliens.

"Even the mother of a son killed in the war fighting for the Allies Is to be disfranchised," Mr. Pardee de­clared. Alieps were beii^g kept out. he went on, and there never was a country in the world that had pros­pered by turning out the people who produced the potential wealth of the country.

Cries and Laughter.Dr. Edwards, of Frontenac, inter­

rupted. "There never was a country that prospered by suckling traitors," he culled out, and there were cries of a41plau.se from the Government benches and ironical laughter from the Opposition.

J Wheh Mr. Pardee concluded, Dr. Edwards rose. He launched into an attack. He declared that In 1917 Mr. Pardee had l>een glad enough to avail himself of the Wartime Election Act. which disfranchised "the people whom he says to-day it would be a crying shame to disfranchise."

Mr. Pardee protested. He had al­ways voted against the Wartime Election Act, he said.

A moment later, as Dr. Edwards was continuing his attack, there were interruptions.

"Let him proceed. He must get rid of his bile," shouted Mr. Bureau.

"He's got a lot of it,” rejoined Ernest Lapointe.

Uproar.The House was in an uproar With

cries of “Order." The Speaker ap­pealed for order but Dr. Edwards had not proceeded far before there | were more cries of "Order.' He spoke i of his pleasure on getting "under the hides" of the Opposition arid declared he would be glad to fill the void in their craniums. Again the Speaker interrupted. Dr. Edwards withdrew j the’words, only to refer a little later! to tbe “unfurnishefl condition of the gentlemens attics."

During the debate, which was ad­journed shortly before 11 p.m., it Was disqualifying clauses in their rela­tion to naturalization of aliens which provoked keenest criticism. Taken into consideration with the Naturali­zation Act of last year, it was argued that the effect of the clause might be to disfranchise for ten years, for instance, the German 'or Austrian wife of a British subject.

Over 100,000.Mr. Euler argued that the "per­

sonal naturalization" would disfran­chise his mother, who had been in Canada for sixty years. It would dis­franchise many who had given sons to the cause of the Allies. The bill, he added, would disfranchise more than 100,000 good Canadians.

Mr. Euler’s plea was warmly sup­ported by Dr. Clark. Acting Leader of the Agrarian Group. Dr. Clark expressed the hope that the Govern­ment would strike out thé disfran­chisement clauses, help to heal the wounds of the war and set an ex­ample to the world.

TO AID PLACER MINING LEASES

Important Legislative Changes Foreshadowed by Hon.

William Sloan

“ST. JAMES TROOP”„ TO BECOME “JAMES

BAY TROOP” OF SCOUTSAn excellent and well attended

meeting of the parents of the boys belonging to the St. James Church Troop and Pack was held in the headquarters of the Troop,-cortter of Simeoe and Douglas Htreete last night. After some discussion it was unanimously resolved that In the in­terests of the hoys of the James Buy District, it would he advisable to change the name of the Troop and Pack to the "J.tmes Bay Troop and Pack" thus taking in all the hoys of the district, irrespective of church affiliations.

It was also urged that the parents of the James Bay District be asked to try and get their boys to join this organization, inasmuch as it was character building, and gave the boys high ideals of unselfish service, besides useful knowledge fitting the boy for his career in afte^r life.

Thomas Bamford acted as chair­man of the meeting and E. P. McKie as secretary. A committee was formed" to look after the in­terests of the Troop and Pack as foi-

Messrs. Gird wood, Ward, Ridgeway, f\ W. Dixon, McMillan and E. P. Mc­Kie. The Ladies' Auxiliary was as follows: Capt. (Miss) D. Fowl», Mrs. Gird-wood, Mrs. McKie, Mrs. Ward, Miss Hickson and Miss E. F’owle.

J. <*. Pendray wrote saying he greatly repretted his inability owing to business to be present. Stephen Jones expressed his pleasure at the success of the Troop and Pack, and hoped to be able to help the move­ment, and do so in all ways possible.

A very hearty vote Of thanks was passed to Scoutmaster C\ J. Cherry for his unselfish work. Most eulogistic remarks were passed as to Mr. Cherry's services and the great good received hy the bojfo thanks to his services. Mr. Seymour Greene organiser for the district, was pres­ent and briefly addressed the meet­ing upori the ideals set before tne Boy Scouts.

Legislative Press Gallery,March 26.

Several important amendments to the Placer Mining Act were Intro­duced this afternoon by the Hon William Sloan, Minister of Mines. One provides that after July 1 next the necessary annual expenditure for development work will he materially reduced, and there will also he a re­duction in annual rentals of leases. Leases in this new form will contain a provision for automatic forfeiture if the lessee fails to pay the annual rental or fails to do and reçord annual development work. Provision is made for the reinstatement within thirty days, where the default con­sists only of the failure to record the work. Provision is made for record­ing excess development work done in any year so -as to count on future development work for the following three years only. Provision is also made for the payment of cash to the Crown in lieu of expenditure in de­velopment work.

Another clause provides for the collection and payment of neefued rentals, which are now $300,000. These payments may he consolidated and paid in annual Instalments covering ten years. The failure to pay the annual instalment will result In forfeiture of the lease.

In case of other existing leases, those now in good standing, provision is made so that lessees have the op­tion of applying at any time while the lease is in good standing to have the rental and annual expenditure reduced to the rates under which new leases are to he issued after July 1. If they apply and obtain this re­duction, the conditions of automatic forfeiture for default, and the privi­leges of recording excess work and paying cash in lieu of work applic­able to new leases will also attach to these old leases. If they decide not to apply for a reduction of rental and annual expenditures, their leases will continue subject to the same p:ovisions to which they are now subject. Leases which become in good standing through consolidation of arrenrs, may also be brought under the reduced rates of rental and other provisions applicable to new leases issued after July 1.

LOT CULTIVATIONPROGRESSES WELL

F’urther plans for Victoria's lot cultivation campaign this season will be made at a meeting of the civic Increased Production Commit­tee to-day. The chief difficulty with which the committee has to contend is the scarcity of seed potatoes, sup­plies of which have been exhausted. It is expected, however, that it will be possible to secure up to five tons more of the Carmen variety. These, it is hopeçl, will be on sale to lot cul­tivators in the near future.

There still remains a considerable supply of corn, peas and beans for seed - purposes, but intending pur­chasers are advised to secure their requirements as quickly as possible. Ho far over seven tons of potatoes have been sold hy the city to people cultivating Vacant lots.

Up to the present 459 vacant lots have been conscripted by the In­creased Production Committee. This number, of course, does not repre­sent nearly all the lots under culti­vation in the city, as a great many people are cultivating lots which they own or which they have secured by amicable arrangement as tenants at will.

Applications for ploughing re­ceived by the city number 280, disc­ing 116 and harrowing 160.

IN WALL STREETIndustrials of All Classes Re­

cover Greater Part of Recent Losses

(By Burdick Bros, ft Brett. Ltd.)New York. March 26.—A decided Im­

provement In values was noted in to-day's stock market. All Industrials, including the copper shares, participated In the ad­vance, the coppers being decidedly strong from the start. Closing quotations showed a recovery of a greater Dart of the recent losses. The chief market influence Was the improvement In sterling, which sold as high as $4.00 for the pound. Call funds were quoted lower at 5% per cent., which also was an important" factor in the rise.

POSITION OF C.P.R.We do not see why railroad legis­

lation here should have any effect on Canadian roads, says The New York Tribune. Canada will probably enact some new legislation. The Govern­ment already operates one huge sys­tem. There has been some talk of an increase in freight rates in the. Do­minion.. Canadian Pacific stock offers specu­lative investment opportunities. The dividend was barely earned during 1919, hut that was on account of greatly increased operating costs. The road certainly did better than most of the systems in this country.

United States Rubber preferred stock is entitled to a good rating as an investment. While the dividend of eight per cent. Is non-ctimulatlve, the company has shown a good mar­gin over dividend requirements for several years. The common stock la highly speculative. The company en­joyed great prosperity during 1918 and 1919. Current earnings are said to be less than during those periods. For speculative purposes the stock has possibilities, yet it is subject to very violent fluctuations.

OPPOSE ORIENTAL OWNERSHIP OF LAND

Montreal. March. 26.—Deportation of people of German. Austrian. Turk­ish and Bulgarian origin whom it is impossible to assimilate as Canadian citizens la demanded in a resolution relating to immigration, deportation and naturalization passed by the Great War Veterans' Association at its annual convention here yesterday. The resolution, which will he submit­ted to the Dominion Government, sug­gests that all disenfranchised aliens be given one year to dispose of their property, and also contends that all unnaturalized residents should he ex­amined before a properly constituted court, which would determine whether or not they are desirable citizens so that the, undesirables can be deported.

The question of Orientals In Brit ish Columbia also Is dealt with in this resolution and the Government is to be petitioned to make it impossible fur them to own or lease land.

STERLING REACHES $4New York. March 26.—Sterling

exchange went up ten cents to-day, and sold at $4 at the close of the market this afternoon.

This is the highest since Inst December, and is an advance of 82 cents during the last couple of months. The advance has been 16 cents during the last week and 28 cents in two weeks.

If this rate of increase should continue sterling will he at its normal figure In about two months.

Most Companies In This Country Said to Be Pre­

pared For Deflation

People who compose what Is colloquially called Big Business will tell you now-a-day^ that Canadian stocks are being given away at next to nothing; that most of the stocks are actually so much more valuable than the present market prices that purchasers are practically thb reci­pients of gifts.

As there are no bargain counters on the stock exchange the ordin­ary public usually get their advice from financial statements and de­cide for themselves as to which <>f the stocks are bargains and which are "bloomers." The inside people, of course, know what their compan­ies are doing and must look only to fundamentals for guildance. They take the chances that a merchant takes when he gets up store or a manufacturer when he starts in business. They speculate all right but only In the sense that specula­tion is an lioncst-to-goodness at­tempt to make money with money. They usually know' what they are doing and they know when they have a good thing and when It isn’t so good. It Is the other fellows—those who stand aside and see the world going round; who pick 'em mostly out of annual financial form charts —who have the chance of their lives to-day, say the experts.

Big Money ScarcityIt works out this way. There Is

so little money available for stock market purposes that thousands of would-be purchasers are unable to finance their deals. The demand for stocks is, therefore, light and with light demand there is. no Immediate reason for any material advance In prices, even though plenty of stocks may be available at considerably less than their actual value. Brokers are insuch a position Just now that they have to pick their orders be­cause of the hank's opposition to In­creased loans. But the moment money becomes more plentiful the whole situation will be changed. In the meantime, people who are in a position to finance stock purchases on speculation and are willing to wait for those better money condi­tions which will send the stocks up, are conceded lo have a good oppor­tunity of making profits.

Financial statements such as have been appearing of late demonstrate that hardly any Canadian company would sell out 011 the beis of its balance sheet, which supports the contention that stocks are cheap. Taking another viewpoint—that of the stock-owners. In business circles it is generally admitted that great caution is being exercised against a sudden deflation of values and costs and on the other hand, In banking circles it Is similarly ad­mitted that the. liquidation of specu­lative accounts has been of a most searching character, both of which facts strengthen the position of the security holder.

Is It "Fools Paraside?”The Government's plan to check

the selling of- oversea-owned Can­adian securities in domestic markets is still the subject of caustic com­ment among some bond dealers. The result of the plan to date, as far as stock market developments reflect the situation, has been a striking diminution of the liquidation which was In progress before the restrictive measure was put Into effect. In giv­ing expression to a sharp divergence of opinion as to the efficacy of the flow, one Montreal bond house com­pares the Immediate benefits to "a fool's paradise." and characterizes the whole scheme as wrong in prin­ciple. However, the members of the Bond Dealers' Association arc ad­hering rigidly to their undertaking, arid, insofar as they are concerned, the ban is still on the importation of Canadian securities.

Renewing an application made some years ago for a plumbing by-law in Saanich, a deputation headed by J. Fox from the local union waited on the Council last evening, and asked for regulations to be established, and an inspector choserft The Council promised to give the subject consid­eration. .

Mr. pox pointed out that many ob­jectionable features were allowed to go on in housing being built in Saan­ich, owing to the lack of inspection. "When we approached the Council four years ago," he stated, "at the time the master plumbers in the city put aside infeq|pr material for Saan­ich houses. Later the master plumb­ers agreed among themselves to ap­ply city standards to Saanich, tp avoid unfair competition, but now they found competition from persons who were hot bound by any undertaking. At present there was no license and no inspection. Mr. Fox alluded to experiences now happening in the municiuaJity, which he termed "an outrage on humanity." The problem of sewerage was likely to complicate the situation, he stated, rather than relieve it. Mr. Fox foresaw that from license fees and dues a considerable portion of the revenue would be able to raise the greater part of the sum

I necessary for an inspector’s salary.Action upon the matter was delayed

to an subsequent meeting.

FROM ASSOCIATIONDeputation From Development

Association Is Heard by Council

"Saanich has more to offer, and more to sell than the City of■ Vic-, toria,” said President J. Carl 1 end- ray, of the Victoria and Island De­velopment Association, in appealing to the Saanich Council last evening for a grant in aid, the figure men­tioned being $2,500.

Formerly Saanich contributed $500. last year 'it voted $250 only to the Association.

Mr. 1‘endray referred to the work which the Association had in hand this year, and pointed out that a large amount of permanent' settle­ment had resulted m\ Saanich from the efforts of the Association.

Ex-Reeve George McGregor re­garded the amount sought as reason able in view of the fact that the work of the association "had been very profitable to Saanich." California, where he had recently visited, had built up in the South large cities on artificial claims, while Victoria dis­trict had relied on natural advant­ages. What was wanted was popula­tion. He knew that the best relief the taxpayer could receive was an access of population. The best class of citizens had come into the Clover- dale district, and he knew the same applied to Gordon Head and else­where. The Association was active to secure this immigration.

C. IT. French said the Association was helping to build up Saanich, the time having gone by when the large farmer in many parts of the muni­cipality could make ends meet. Therefore, they wanted the single acre taxpayer.

Reeve Watson said the Gordon Head district, where he lives, was filling up rapidly. He was glad to know that Saanich had a good ad­vocate now In London in the Agent- General's House, in Thomas Walker, acting official administrator, and a Saanich man.

The application will receive atten­tion.

OFFERS NO OBJECTION TO ELK LAKE PROPOSAL!

Saanich Council, feeling that the matter was largely one for the city, and its interest was confined to ap- I proval of the proposed subdivisions, I did not discuss the proposed com­mercializing of the greater part of Elk Lake watershed, when the re­port was filed last evening. The hope was expressed that the arrange­ment, which would put the park strip under the control of the Vic­toria-Saanich Beaches and Parks Committee, would be accepted by the City Council.

All the report, as adopted by the Council, provides at present is for the expenditure of $166.67 by Saanich, and $333.33 by the city this year, the management to be placed tentatively for one year only under the com- | mittee.

The report of the joint committee I provides plans for the development of the watershed, after the bulk of | the land has been sold off.

ENTERTAINS BOYS OFTHE NAVAL BRIGADE

As a mark of apifreclation for their good work in helping to “put over" the Victoria Shipowner** shipbuilding scheme, the members of the Boys’ Brigade Band were entertained by W. J. Spencer, President Of the Ship­owners, to a delightful supper .at Kel- way's Cafe last night.

* During the course of the evening a a delightful programme of songs and ’• music was conducted by friends of the

Brigade. Songs were rendered bv W.

P. McDonagh, W. Pickering and Miss Annie Finlayson. The hit of the pro­gramme was the Highlahd Fling, danced by dainty little Miss Mary Finlayson, daughter of the boys’ bandmaster.

Following the concert George G. Bushby, convener of the Boys’ Naval Brigade Committee, and better known to the children of Victoria as Mr. Thrift, and Mr. Spencer were intri- duced to the boys. Mr. Bushby, in his inimitable style, gave the mem­bers a little educational talk, while Mr. Spencer expressed the sincere thanks of the Shipowners for their splendid assistance in helping to make the big industrial project a success.
