Year.ACTON VALE ASKS GOVERNMENT TO GRANT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SENATOR P.E.LESSARD PASSED AWAY TODAY.Residents of Fire-Swept Village Petition Provincial Government for Assistance to Offset Serious Losses Suffered in Conflagration Yesterday\u2014Fire Was Brought Under Control Yesterday Afternoon\u2014Loss Placed at Approximately $50,000, Covered by Little Insurance.ACTON VALE, Que., April* 11.\u2014 Residents oï this ____ii small town today for warded a petition to the Provincial Government for financial assistance to offset the serious loss \u2022hey suffered as a result of the disastrous fire yesterday, which rendered twenty families homeless and destroyed seventeen residences in the north end of the town.The conflagration started in the home of W.Raboin on the Roxton Falls road leading to Montreal.A chimney fire constituted the origin, and the high wind continued the devastation which at one time threatened to engulf the entire residential section.It was about nine o\u2019clock when the blaze was first noticed, and the velocity of the wind spread the fire in record time to adjacent buildings.Within two hours eleven structures in the immediate vicinity fell prey to the fire.Hotel D\u2019Villc street was the next spot where a fire of undetermined origin was ignited.It is thought that a stray spark found its way across three blocks to put the already serious situation completely beyond the control of the volunteer brigade.A call for help was sent to Sherbrooke, but a part of that city\u2019s annaratus had been sent to Coaticook and assistance could not be rendered.Montreal was then requested to send help and a detachment from No.3 Station, under the direction of Lieut.Pare, arrived on the scene.Owing to tlie considerable distance from the Metropolis, it was close on to eleven o\u2019clock before assistance arrived, although the St.Hyacinthe brigade had sent apparatus in an attempt to stem the blaze.Shortly after one o\u2019clock the combined efforts of the three brigades proved sufficient to avert tbe impending doom which threatened the entire town.The wind, which had played havoc earlier, had abated considerably.The amount of damages which was unofficially placed at approximately $50,000, is understood to be covered by little insurance.FLAMES RAZED BUILDINGS AT EDMONTON, ALTA., April j 11.\u2014A pioneer of Western Can- ' ada, Senator Prosper E.Lessard, died at his home here this '\u2022 morning.Resident of the west since i 1S9S, Senator Lessard was prominent in politics and business for many years, and was a director in many of the city\u2019s commercial firms.He was born in Cranbourne, Que., on February 3rd, 1873.SIX CANADIANS 'GOV.-GENERAL ARE ASSUMING IS ASSOCIATED FOREIGN POSTS WITH VETERANS Recently Appointed

Belonging to W.H.Temple and Occupied by Roy Heath Completely Destroyed by Fire in Less Than Half an Hour\u2014Few Cattle and Horses Saved.BROWN\u2019S HILL, April 11\u2014Despite the frantic attempts by members of the family to salvage some effects from the path of a destructive fire, very little was saved yesterday from a fire which within half an hour razed the W.H.Temple farm buildings to the ground.The property was occupied by Roy Heath and his family.A spark from a chimney, to which the high wind added fuel, was thought to have been the origin of the blaze which, before aid could reach the spot, had practically completed its destructive damage.W\u2019hen the fire broke out Mr.Heath was on his way to Ayer's Cliff.The buildings are all closely connected and the fire started in the middle of the premises.Spreading both ways, the place was soon a blazing inferno.Mrs.Heath and members of the family succeeded in saving some cattle and horses, but five calves, one hog, all he farm machinery and household furniture were totally destroyed.It is understood that the loss is but partially covered by insuiance.GRAE ZEPPELIN.WAS WELCOMED IN JERUSALEM Thousands Rushed into Streets as

OPERATORS OF LOTTERIES GET HEAVY FINES IN LOSS OF FOREIGN TRADE! MANY MEMBERS STILL TO JOIN IN HOUSE DEBATE THREE INJURED DURING OUTBREAK AT COATICOOK Little Likelihood of Budget Being Introduceo Until Late in May.COATICOOK, April U.\u2014Residents of this town were today computing the severe loss they sustained as a result of yesterday\u2019s disastrous fire.Calm had been again restored last evening out of the tumult which the conflagration caused, and members of the afflicted families combed the ruins of their residences in an effort to al- vage some of their household ef- | disposed ^of ; but the holiday fects.This, however, was well-nigh impossible.The three homes which were completely demolished were but masses of charred ruins, but repairs were being made to the buildings which had been only partially damaged.Three men today are suffering from injuries as a direct result of the holocaust.They are Eugene Cutler, Milton Woodman and \u2022.F.Dyne, who, in attempts to save some of the doomed furniture, 'vere injured.Messrs.Cutler and Woodman were in the Cutler home when the roof collapsed and buried them in the debris.They were extricated without suffering very serious injuries.When a chance spark ignited the residence of Mr.Pyne, he climbed on the roof to check the flames\u2019 progress.During his light with the flames he fell to the ground.Curious spectators last evening drove miles to visit the scene of destruction.The highways experienced the heaviest traffic of the year, when numerous motorists, misled by false rumors that the entire town had been destroyed, went to find out for themselves.The smouldering ruins which met their eyes showed the loss w'hich the afflicted families had suffered.The double tenement in which the conflagration originated was burned to a crisp.The only souvenirs that remained were the framework of a bed and what formerly had been a stove, now reposing in the cellar of the structure.To a casual observer, the ruins would indicate that a now building was in the pro-i of construction.The foundation still stands, hut congregated in the basement arc fragments of the plaster which had once been bedrooms, sitting rooms and hulls.\u2019Ibis residence, owned bv E B.b isher, and housing two families, is a total loss.An inexplainable fact w.-ich sightseers found hard to believe was the situation of the second home in which the fire caught.Another home stands

estimates for the current fiscal year, the debate on the address in reply\tto\tthe Speech from\tthe Throne will be resumed with Hon.Maurice\tDupre,\tSolicitor-General, the first speaker.Before the Easter adjournment, there seemed a prospect of the address being rapidly has given\ta\tfillip to\tthe debate\tand quite\ta\tnumber\tof members\twho had otherwise not contemplated participating in it arc now understood to have decided upon doing so.While Government legislation is not heavy, the most important portion of it\u2014the budget\u2014has still seme way to go before it is in final shape for presentation to the House.Last year, Hon.C.A.Dunning presented his budget on May 1st, but the expectation is that the Prime Minister, in his capacity of Minister of Finance, will not announce the Government\u2019s programme in this respect until after that date.Whether it will contain the complete tariff revision promised by Mr.Bennett at the special session last year, is a matter for sepcula-tion.A belief persists that only those tariff changes which the Prime Minister regards as urgent will be dealt with and the remainder will be left to the proposed tariff board.The legislation creating this body has not yet been introduced to the House, but it is likely to precede the budget.WILL VISIT HOLY LAND CAIRO, Egypt, April 11.\u2014The Graf Zeppelin, slim, gray world traveller, was drawn by British soldiers to a landing at dawn today at Almaza aerodrome, near the head of the Nile delta, site of onc-of the oldest civilizations in the world.An hour later, after taking on new passengers, it roared aloft again and allowing those aboard one last look at the pyramids, turned toward the rising sun for a visit to the Holy Land.Despite the early hour, 25,000 persons were at the aerodrome.As soon as the Graf touched ground they broke police lines and throng ed about the ship, which was unable to make its departure until firemen turned hoses on them and cleared a space around it.A member of the Graf\u2019s crew descended by parachute a hort while before it was drawn to the ground and instructed a force of 350 British soldiers who acted as a landing crew.They were in charge of Flight Lieutenant Luck, who came to Egypt to arrange the mooring of the ill-fated R-101.When Dr.Eckener heard that he was here he had him come aboard for a long chat.Dr.Eckener\u2019s genial face was at a window of the gondola as the Zeppelin drew close to the earth and the crowd gave him an ovation as he stepped to earth axter the dirigible had been brought down.The zeppelin will return here tonight, debark its passengers, ; nd take off again for Friedriehshafen, where she will arrive Monday morning.and the Rotterdam office, respec tively.\t| Max Thompson Stewart, of Wing- ! ham, Ont.,

more powerful influence in India than alive they might ever have hoped to hold.Throughout the length and breadth of India Singh and two who were hanged with him at Lahore a few weeks ago for the murder of a British police official are spoken of as martyrs to the Nationalist cause and are being venerated by the public.A tragic sequel to the execution today in the town of Mangalore, Madras Province, shows somewhat the extent to which the executions have been publicized.A twelve-year-old boy and some companions there were re-enacting the execution.After a mock court which condemned the three psuedo defendants to death the youngster taking thd role of Baghat Singh mounted the scaffold and placed the noose around his neck, exclaiming: \u201cI give my life for India\u201d.In some unaccountable way the noose was tightened and the boy was strangled to death.A passerby-seeing what had happened rushed to the boy but life was extinct.His presence, however, saved two other boys who seemed bent on carrying out the same experiment.Mayor Subhas Chandras Bose, for a while of a radical opposition to | Gandhi, recently in an address at Amritsar, declared: \u201cIndia must produce a thousand Baghat Singhs before she can attain independence\u201d.At the same meeting Bandit Mala- Sir George Perley, Government Representative, Optimistic as to Results of Argentine Trade

closer relationship between the Dominion and the republic* of Central and South American, one hundred and fifty Canadians landed here today after six iveeks in the South.A hearty welcome awaited the missioners of trade, commerce and goodwill as they stepped ashore on the long seawall where a week ago today the Earl of Bessborough landed to take over the Governor-Generalship.The mission, its leaders said, was successful from every point of view and the trip a pleasant one.Not a single case of illness marred the sojourn in tropical countries, though the party were saddened by the accidental drowning at Rio De Janiero, of C.E.Marley, of London.Monkeys, marmosets, honey' bears and loving birds augmented the baggage of the returning crusaders, as the ship docked in bright sunlight after cruising about the harbor.As the big German liner General Von Steuben backed out from the seawall, she dipped her colors in honor of the returning ship.When the Prince Robert arrived at quarantine shortly after eight o\u2019clock, she had set a new record of 36 hours, 59 minutes for the Bermuda run.The optimism of the mission with regard to the results of their journey' to South American countries and the British Exposition at Bueno-Aires is set out in a resolution passed on shipboard yesterday.\u201cThe Canadian good-will and trade mission to Latin America unanimously' wish to record their very great appreciation of the services rendered the mission and Canada itself by the leadership given th-e delegation by Sir George H, Perley.Colonel J.H.Woods and Mr.Elmer Davis.Through their consummate direction, assiduous effort, infallible counsel and personal charm, they have each contributed in a very practical way toward making the mission the outstanding event it has been in the economic life of the Dominioin.The mission also In Passing Sentence Against Two Montreal Men Judge Stressed Shady Nature of Business.MONTREAL, April 11.\u2014Convicted on a charge of operating a lottery, J.L.Gratton and A.Demers were sentenced to fines of $1,000 each, with costs, with the alternative of three months in jail, yesterday by Chief Judge Perrault.Thousands of receipts from purchasers of various sweepstake tickets were seized by the morality squad under Inspector Emile Bilodeau on March 20, when the raid was made on a suite of rooms in the Dandurand building, St.Catherine street cast.Gratton and Demers were arrested in an office where they were directing the work of ten girls, who were sorting out letters from various parts of the United States.The exact charge against Gratton was that of operating a lottery, and against Demers of selling lottery tickets.Preliminary hearing took t lace two weeks ago.Yesterday Chief Judge Perrault declared the accused guilty, and in passing semence drew' attention to the shady nature of the business, which was calculated to put this province in an unfavorable light in other parts.BROWNLEE IS WELL PLEASED WITH
