DOLLARS DWINDLING Representatives of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba Tell of Rising Expenditure and Declining Revenues\u2014Federal Government Plans Huge Public Works Programme, Leaving Direct Relief Problems to Provinces.Ottawa, January 18.\u2014At the Dominion-Provincial Conference, when it assembled today, the Premiers continued to \u201cbreak the bad news\u201d under the heading of \u201cProvincial Financing,\u201d the second item on the agenda.This subject was opened at last evening\u2019s session when, starting with British Columbia, one by one the spokesmen for the provincial delegations from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, detailed to the Conference the struggles of the past few years with increasing extraordinary expenditures, curtailed services and rapidly diminishing revenues.There was no desperation or defeatism in their speeches, but optimism and confidence that with co-operation and a reasonable increase in commodity pricees, particularly in the price of wheat, they would weather the storm and extricate themselves from their financial dilemma.Today the trans-Canada march was continued, with the Eastern Provinces scheduled to take their turn in outlining their own financial problems.It was expected that a more favorable picture would be presented, In view of the previously-expressed views of the delegates from Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes.Reports of charges levelled by & \u2014\u2014-\u2014 .Eastern Government officials that the West had received more than their share of financial assistance and had, perhaps, not been as economical as they might have been, were answered by some of last night\u2019s speakers.The picture was painted of the great open spaces, sparsely populated, but peopled by those who demanded the same modern services of highways and social amenities as those enjoyed by their contemporaries in the more densely populated EasÇ which had set the standard of living.Research would divulge, the Westerners claimed, that no provinces had gone farther than they in reducing controllable expenditure \u2014 even in the face of damaging visitations of plague and drought that had accentuated their difficulties, apart from the general depression common to all.Earlier yesterday the Provincial i Premiers took under consideration a i proposal from the Dominion Govern-1 ment that, in the near future\u2014fou\u2019-1 or five months hence\u2014a federal public works scheme would be We launched to furnish a living wage to thg great majority of the unemployed in an attempt to banish the j feature social menace of a prolonged system \u2019 of direct relief.The proposal carries with it the condition that the provinces undertake to assume full responsibility for whatever direct relief it may still be found necessary to grant within their borders.A committee of provincial Premiers and Ministers, under the chairmanship of Premier E.Devlin headed six missions to the Brownlee, of Alberta, was appointed United States and one to Australia JOHN DEVLIN, NOTED IRISH LEADER, DEAD Veteran Nationalist Was One of Foremost Irish Politicians for More than Thirty Years\u2014Was Idol Among Children.Belfast, Ireland, Jan.18.\u2014Joseph Devlin, veteran Nationalist leader of Ireland, died here early today.He was sixty-two years old.Known as the \u201cIrish Demosthenes,\u201d Devlin was one of the foremost Irish politicians for more that thirty years.He died peacefully after a long illness which kept him out of the campaign in the last election.Five thousand children prayed in est Belfast churches for Devlin\u2019s recovery.He was an idol among children owing to the excursions, a feature every summer in his constituency.on which he took thousands of children to the seaside on special trains.Poor children were accommodated in homes maintained by him.Because of his great oratorical powers, Devlin was chosen by the Nationalist leader, John Redmond, to go on a mission to thev United States to collect funds in 11*02.Washington, Jan.18.\u2014Only twenty individuals in the United States had incomes of a million dollars or more in 1932.Five years ago 513 were making that.This was shown today in the report of the Commisison of Internal Revenue.The lucky twenty in 1932 had a total income of $35,239,556 and paid a tax of $15,534,321.FRANCE

Remained Undisclosed, However, with Press Barred from Hearing.St.John\u2019s Nfld., Jan.18,\u2014Stamp forgery charges against Percy Fearn were aired at his preliminary hearing today, but nature of the evidence against the accused member of a counterfeiting ring remained undisclosed.Publication of evidence in cases of this kind was not permitted, authorities said this morning in barring newspapermen from the Magistrate\u2019s Court.They did not state whether the evidence would bi made public later.A dozen or more witnesses were expected to take the stand against the St.John's merchant, who faces six charges arising out of reputed wholesale forgeries of Newfoundland\u2019s expensive air-mail cachets.Two other men are aw-aiting trial in the same, connection.Among the stamps Fearn is charged with trafficking in is ihe $4.50 surcharge marking the eastward Atlantic passage of the Italian air armanda last year\u2014the world\u2019s costliest, air-mail stamp.Ramificaitons of

Jan.18.\u2014It appears today as though East Angus will run away with the Compton County Hockey League title in much the same manner as the Paper Town aggregation did last winter.The local intermediates appeared to be the only squad with a slim chance of holding the defending title holders, but last evening th.y failed when the two teams clashed for the first time this season.True, the margin of victory was very small, but it permitted the visitors to add two points to their already impressive total gained by winning four straight victories previous to last night\u2019s fixture.The local lads gave Angus a good fight, but did not show the polish which Wailace Hebert\u2019s boys possessed.Norman Burns raised Saw-yerville\u2019s hopes by scoring thc initial counter in the first frame, while Renwick Thompson sent the home- remaining minutes of the first frame, which ended with the count two to one in Sawyerville\u2019s favor.East Angus held a wide margin in the middle chukker and recorded their superiority with three tallies.Pat King, Edmond Laramec and Emile Drapeau were the marksmen, while Sawyerville was kept scoreless.The visitors proved the faster skaters and were_ able to backcheck their opponents into submission as the home team attempted to reduce the deficit they faced.At the end of the second round-up, East Angus had posted a four to two margin.Sawyerville outscored the league leaders in the final twenty minutes, but the tying marker was not forthcoming.Burns brought his team within hailing distance of East Angus\u2019 total, hut Lamonreux was stingy
