Unhappy and \u201cDreary\u201d Any Indication that She Committed Suicide.Los Angeles, Jan.3.\u2014 Grand jurors, told that laugh-provoking Thelma Todd was unhappy and \u201cdreary,\u201d took their investigation of the screen comedienne\u2019s death today to the seaside cafe where she lived and the garage where she died.In the face of new testimony the actress was subject to spells of despondency, Jury Foreman George Rochester sad: \u201cIt looks as if the suicide angle may be just a buildup.I have found nothing in the actual evidence to definitely support this theory.\u201d Previously Rochester said he had found evidence of \u201cmurder by monoxide.\u201d Police and the coroner\u2019s jury held to a theory of accidental death.The grand jury is ferreting out the possibility of murder.The entire jury prepared to inspect the cafe and the star\u2019s apartment adjoining that of Roland West, former film director, and her \u201cbest friend.\u201d FAMILY ADITS LOSING BATTLE AGAINST DEATH FRANCE REPORTED SEEKING BRITISH ASSISTANCE ALONG GERMAN BORDER Paris, January 3.\u2014Paris newspapers reported today that France has asked Great Britain* if she would be willing to send troops to the German frontier, to replace French forces in case of war with Italy.A* Foreign Office spokesman, however, said the report was \u201cabsurd.\u201d The newspapers Paris-Soir and Intransigeant indicated the question was raised in discussions between the British and French general staffs, in which the two nations were considering how they would aid each other in the event of Italy attacking British ships in the Mediterranean.The French were represented as feeling that if their aid was required by Britain in fighting off the Italians it would mean taking troops from the Rhine frontier to reinforce those along the Italian .border.This vcould weaken French defences against Germany, from which the French fear there is danger because of Reichsfuehrer Hitler\u2019s rearmament programme.No conclusion as yet has been reached in the Franco-British talks, the Paris-Soir said, but the \u201cprinciple\u201d of the French contention \u201cis admitted.\u201d Premier Mussolini of Italy is being- kept informed of the conversations, the Paris-Soir added, \u201csince it depends upon only Italy to keep them entirely theoretical.\u201d LARGE AREAS FLOODED AS THAMES OVERFLOWS BANKS Grounds of Windsor Castle and Playing Fields of Eton Under Water as River Approaches Record Level of 1915.London, Jan.3.\u2014 The Thamas today was rapidly approaching the record level of 1915, flooding thousands of acres above London.At Windsor the river was a mile and one half wide.The grounds of Windsor Castle were flooded and the playing-fields of Eton formed one vast lake.Swans, unable to reach their usual feeding grounds along the river, regularly visit the doors of houses to beg for food.Residents of Maidenhead are going about the town in boats, of which there is a large supply.* The water at Boulters Lock was five feet above normal today.Son-ning and other villages were practically cut off.QUADRUPLETS BORN IN GERMANY Kronach, Germany,

as Foreign Secretary recently.UNDER TREATY United States and Japan May Appeal to Tariff Board Against Valuations Placed on Goods from Those Countries.Ottawa, Jan.3.\u2014In extending to Japan and the United States the right to make représentations to the Dominion Tariff Board in connection with valuations of goods imported from these countries, Canada has widened somewhat the scope of that Board and, according to experts, has established something of a precedent.Heretofore the right of other countries to make representations to the Board has been confined to the nations of the British Commonwealth.Under the terms of the Canada-Japan agreement, however, the \u201cFlowery Empire\u201d now enjoys that right, beginning New Year\u2019s Day, while it is specifically set forth in the agreement with the United Slates that the Republic will be similarly treated.There is a difference, however, in that representatives of British countries may make, application for revisions of the Canadian customs tariff; but the two foreign coun-Iries, United States and Japan, may make representations only in the matter of valuations for duty pur-noses -That is to say, when hearing British representations, the Board ails ns a Tariff Board; when hearing those of the two foreign countries, the Board ails, under part 11 of the act, as a \"Board of Customs\u201d whose functions were transferred to the Tariff Board when that body was created.CANADIAN DOL1.ARS HIGHER New York, Jan.8.Canadian dollars unproved 3-32 cent to 99 1-4 London, Jan.3.\u2014The News-Letter.organ of the National Labor party which was formed by former Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald in 1931 to support the National Government, today published a surprise attack on Prime Minister Baldwin.In some quarters the article was heralded as a definite break between the Prime Minister and MacDonald, v.-ho remains in Baldwin\u2019s Cabinet as Lord President of the Council.The Ncws-Lettor was particularly biting in its references to Prime Minister Baldwin\u2019s criticism in the House of Commons of post-war diplomatic methods, such as hasty and rapid visits by Cabinet Ministers to foreign capitals where they ! lack direct contact with their colleagues at home.The article also attacked former Foreign Secretary Sir Samuel Hoare and the Paris peace plan he drafted in collaboration with Premier Laval, of France, which was later repudiated by the British Government.Referring to Baldwin\u2019s criticism of visits abroad, the News-Letter declared: \u201cWe regret this.These personal exchanges of view have been fraught with good.The awkward situation which he, the Prime Minister, was explaining was admittedly quite unusual.To help himself out of this fix he condemned these meetings and said he hoped they would stop, except at Geneva.\u201d While both Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary between 1929 and 1931, Ramsay MacDonald made several journeys abroad.Last spring, While still at the head of the National Government, he visited Stresa to confer with French and Italian statesmen.Both the text, and the -tone of the News-Letter article caused surprise in political circles today.When the Hoare-I.aval plan was being debated, National Labor supporters of the Government gave no hint of their attitude.In some quarters it was suggested a break between Baldwin and MacDonald would renew the Cabinet crisis which was apparently solved two weeks ago with the resignation of Sir Saniuel Hoare.The National Labor party is represented in the Cabinet by former Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald, his son.Dominions Secretary Malcolm MacDonald, and Colonial Secretary J.H.Thomas.Neither of the MacDonalds have seats in the House of Commons, having been defeated in the general election on November 14th.The party is also represented in the Govern-ment by several lu nit n- mi ni stars._ Decided to Bury Didier Fougere, Whose Funeral Was Delayed Nearly Two Weeks Because Family Reported Signs of Life \u2022 in Body.Etang du Nord, Magdalen Islands, Jan.3.\u2014One of the strangest chapters in Canadian medical history was nearing a close today as fisher-folk of this coastal village prepared to bury Didier Fougere, whose funeral had been delayed nearly two weeks because the family reported signs of life in the body.Not until last night, when rigor mortis was unmistakable and a slight odor was peirceptibie, did the family give up hope that the seven-ty-one-yer r-oid fishery officer and mail counter would recover.Didier Fougere was pronounced dead on December 24, but before Mgr.J.A.H.Blacquiere arrived from Grindstone to conduct the funeral relatives of the \u201cdead man\u201d discovered they could move his arms freely and a mirror placed over the mouth became clouded.Because the body had not stiffened the priest agreed burial should be delayed.Later another doctor pronounced the aged man dead, but the body was kept in the little cottage while the fisherfolk expressed fear of burying him alive.On orders from the Attorney-General of Quebec Province, of which the Magdalen Islands are a part, Dr.Andrew Gallant, Amherst Island coroner, conducted a careful examination on January 1.Again death was pronounced, but the coroner said immediate burial was not necessary if the family was still doubtful.Doubt had not been dispelled, and the relatives continued to watch the body for signs of life.Last night they admitted death had won and funeral arrangements were made.UNITED STATES SEEKING GREATER ISOLATION FROM EUROPEAN WARS New Neutrality Bill

Patton\u2019s last chance of seeing her father, Didier Fougere, before his burial on the Magdalen Islands after long uncertainty over his death.The Halifax daughter, near hysteria with uncertainty lest her father be buried alive, was to have boarded a plane this morning for Etang du Nord.\u201cIf she does not see her father before they bury his body,\u201d her husband said, \u201cshe will never believe he was not buried alive.\u201d But no Halifax pilot would attempt the trip to the Magdalens in today\u2019s weather, and the funeral could not be held up.COLLAPSE OF ABANDONED BUILDING KILLED FIVE f Washington, Jan.3.-\u2014 A new j neutrality bill believed toi endow President Roosevelt j with new and powerful weapons to | curb United States trade with em-j battled countries was ready today to be tossed into Congressional debate.It had the active backing of Secretary of State Hull, Chairman Pittman.Democrat-Nevada, of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Chairman McReynolds, De* mocrat-Tennessee.of the Housfe Foreign, Affairs Committee.They agreed on it last night, and leaders planned to introduce it into Congress today or Monday.Details were officially a secret, but the Washington Post understands the President would have authority to restrict shipments to belligerents of such essential war materials as cotton, oil, copper and scrap iron.He would be emplower-ed, it is said, to hold such shipments down to peace-time levels.Certain discretionary power would be given to the President, it is said, but any embargoes would have to apply to all belligerents.FRENCH ANXIETY MOUNTS ON FUTURE GIL SUPPLIES Paris, Jan.3.\u2014French commentators expressed anxiety today lest the United States Congress, by voting a new Neutrality Act with embargo provisions for belligerents, automatically cut off France\u2019s oil supply in case of war.Hence the opening of the Congress in Washington today was watched with unusual interest.The French generally regard the neutrality stand as further isolating the United States from Europe.Newspapers speculated on the possibility of losing American sources of supplies in the event France should become involved in j war through Mediterranean inei- : dents.Germany, also, was cited as a \\ nation which, like Italy, is attempt-! ing to become self-sufficient.DECLARES WAR ON ROOSEVELT POLICIES IlMll YOUTH COMMITS SUICIDE

announced today, in the collapse yesterday of an unoccupied two-storey brick and stone building.The discovery of the fifth body today in the ruins of the sixty-year-old structure accounted for all persons previously missing.Hospital attaches announced, however that they feared at least three of those injured seriously would die, The.building, an abandoned newspaper plant, crumbled without warning, tumbling stones and bricks down upon passerbys along the narrow street, w'hilo workmen were adding a third storey to the structure.Two girls, trapped in the street, were among the injured, all others being workmen employed in alteration of the buildings.Washington, Jan.8.\u2014A strenuous financial argument broke out today over the soldiers\u2019 bonus, with United States Government experts estimating that payment plans now in the forefront might cost more than the $2,201,934,710 estimated last year for the inflationary Patman bill which President Roosevelt vetoed.Advocates of the new plans \u2014 the Byrnes-Stehver bill and the measure backed by three major veterans organizations \u2014 challenged these es tin: ates.Friends of the Bvnios-Steiwcr bill.which has been suggested as the basis of an administration compromise, were informed by the Veterans Bureau that it.would cost $2,213,537.048 The backers of the measure disagreed with this.Estimates of the cost of the full cash payment plan advanced by the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Disabled American Veterans were not official.One government expert said, however, that the figure might run to $2,300,000,060.TEMPERS AT FEVER HEAT AS CONGRESS ASSEMBLES Alfred E.Smith.1928 Democratic presidential nominee, shown above cutting a birthday cake, marked his sixty-second birthday by declaring open war on the Roosevelt administration.Taking issue with the President\u2019s statement that Smith had been invited as a guest to the White House, the former New York Governor made it clear he would not support Roosevelt for the Democratic re-nomination.EIGHT LESS DAILIES.Philadelphia, Jan.3.\u2014The N.W.Ayer\u2019s Directory of Newspapers and Periodicals for 1936 reports 2,189

confessed youthful slayer and the broken-down figure of a seventeen year old suspect in a police cel!.Events moved swiftly yesterday after the cold-blooded killing of Haynes, gunsmith and expert on ballistics.A few moments after Haynes succumbed in his chop to two bullet wounds, police arrested seventeen year old Joseph Abramo-witch as he dodged about back streets in the neighborhood.A few hours later while police cars combed the city for the second suspect, a report was received a vouth had attempted suicide in a north end gasoline station.Slumped on the floor of the station was Frank Schafer, seventeen years of age.There vrere two bullet, wounds in his head that police said were fired from guns stolen from the Haynes shop.Removed to hospital Schafer died shortly after.During an argument as to the price for cleaning fhe gun, one of the youths produced another revolver and ordered Haynes into the back of his shop.A shop assistant and a customer found there were bound and gagged.When some peremptory order was given Haynes and it was apparently refused one of the bandits snarled, \u201cOkay, then, let him have it!\u201d Two shots were fired and it was found later the bullets came from different revolvers.The youths fled, scooping up two of Haynes\u2019 revolvers from a counter.The shop assistant and the customer loosed their bonds and gave chase.They saw one of the gunmen and pointed him out to a constable who ran toward the shop on hearing the shooting.The constable chased the youth who gave the name of Abramowitch when arrested.The other youth fled in an opposite direction and search for him was being intensified when the call came through from the gasoline station.Schafer is declared to have left a note which police claim \u201cleaves no loose ends to the murder.\u2019\u2019 Authorities said the inquest into Schafer\u2019s death would be held tomorrow before that into the killing of Haynes, Stockholm, January 3.\u2014Sweden\u2019s Government swung into lino with the Red Cross today in pressing for a thorough investigation of the Italian bombing of a Swedish Red Cross unit on the southern Ethiopian front.The nation\u2019s press, amid fresh public indignation over the incident, demanded unanimously that Sweden obtain satisfaction from Italy for the aerial assault.The Swedish Red Cross, after a special meeting yesterday, announced it had voted to finance a piercing inquiry into the ease, and to ask the International Red Cross at Geneva to undertake the investigation.The Government, it was announced, would assist the Red Cross in raising funds for this purpose.The Italian legation, which has been guarded closely since December 31st, the day after the bombardment, became the target for a mass of letters and telegrams of protest.DECLARES OIL SANCTIONS MORALLY INDISPENSABLE UNION JACK ANCIENT TO LOSE ITS REDNESS London, Jan.3.\u2014A first class sensation burst upon Britain today with the discovery that the imperial

United States without perjuring Montreal, January 3, \u2014 The old saying \u201cTime heals all troubles\u201d evidently was not meant to apply to the highly complicated situation arising from the Quebec provincial elections of last November 25th, when the Taschereau Government was returned to power by a majority of six seats.Far from doing anything to solve the trouble, each passing day seems only to add to the general mix-up in the way of recounts, contestations, protests, actions and counter-actions.In fact, the legal position, of the successful and defeated candidates in many ridings has become so involved that the public and lawyers alike do not know just wh&t to do next.The latest development to add to the muddle is the announcement that on January 7th the Liberal party will seek to upset the election of Paul Gouin, Action Liberale Nationale leader, w-ho defeated Walter Reed, Liberal, in L\u2019Assomption, on the usual complaints of election irregularities.For good measure, the Opposition forces announce that they will launch a counter-action to have Mr.Reed disqualified because of certain actions by bis supporters that the Opposition did not like.What other actions, on one side or the other, are to be entered next week have not yet been disclosed, but it is intimated that there wifi be others, and specially that care will be taken to see to it that there are an equal number of actions on each side.Members elected do not attach much importance to the entry of these contestation proceedings as far as the opening of the legislature is concerned, except for the one fact, liable to be important in some instances, that all proceedings must cease eight days prior to the opening of the session, since nothing can happen of a definite nature in regard to the actions before some time has elapsed.It appears to be now accepted that the only member elected who will be missing is Dr.Anatole Plante, of Mercier, that is.sxcept for unforeseen sickness, and so on.Records show that it is very unusual for a legislature to meet in j full numbers at the first session following a general election, there being usually some one too ill to attend.What is at the moment bothering the members, speçially those who .are lawyers, is the question of whe-| ther suitable pairing can be ar-1 ranged.For a busy Montreal lawyer to be obliged to attend daily at Quebec is bound to prove a serious matter, it is being ruefully admitted, and unless there is a willing-j ness to pair, the situation may become so vital for some members I that they will have to make then-choice between politics or their profession.Lawyers, as a class, are most in danger of being hard hit by a situation which would arise should no agreement as to pairs be reached, though judges in the past have been as accomodating as possible in cases due for hearing before the courts.Outside of the legal profession, another class of member affected will be the alderman-member, such as Aid.L.H.Auger, Aid.Lesage, and Aid.Leduc, the first leader of the City Council, the second a member of the Executive Committee, and the third holder of portfolio of critic of Mayor Camillien Houde, Then, there are the members who belong to the medical profession who still practice their profession.There are several of them who have large practices, which hitherto they have been able to attend to, since voting was so much one-sided.MONTREAL OPENING NOON SALES The following quotations of today\u2019s prices on the Montreal Stock Exchange are furnished by McManamy &.Walsh : Open\tHiRh\tLow\t4\t10%\t10% Bruck Silk .\t15%\t15%\t15%\t15% Can .Car .\t7%\t7%\t7%\t7% Can.Car Pfd.\t14%\t15\t14%\t15 Can.Celanese .\t29%\t30%\t29%\t30% Can.Cement .\t6%\t6%\t6%\t6% Can.Cement\tPfd.\t58\t58\t58\t58 Can.Ind.Alcohol\t10%\t11%\t10%\t11 Can.Pacific .11%\t11^ Con.Smelting .204\t204 Dom.\tBridge\t.\t32%\t33^ Dom.\tTextile\t.\t73\t73 Dom.S.& C.4%\t4U General Steel .\t5\t5 Int.Nickel .45%\t45A Massey Harris .\t6%\t5 j* MoColl-Frontenac\t12%\t12 ^ Mont.Power .\t32%\t33 Nat.Breweries .\t39%\t39T;

Minister of Trade and Commerce, steates in the folowing article written especially for the Canadian Press.Mr.Euler w'rites: Many readjustments are still necessary: and Canadians have difficuit problems to face, but on the whole constructive factors dominate the situation.Short term money rates in the New York and London markets remain at about the lowest level in history, and Dominion Government bonds sold during the greater part of the year at prices affording exceedingly low yields to the purchaser, cheap money being a potent influence for recovery.The deposit liabilities of the banks increased since the summer of 1934, and security holdings and readily available assets reached abnormally high levels.Industrial production in the United States and Great Britain, with which Canada has close trading relations, recorded gains over 1934.The volume of Canadia crops despite the decline in the wheat harvest, was greater than in the preceding year.The activity of the industries producing materials for the expansion of plant and equipment was considerably accelerated in 1935.This suggests that many enterprises are preparing for greater operations in the near future.Steps are being rapidly taken to reduce tariff barriers by negotiations, enabling the peopie of the Dominion to take fuller advantage of specialization by the acceleration of inter-nationai trade.The level of business operations in 1935 was, of course, below that of 1928 and 1929.The result was that large numbers of the 'ncreas-ing active population remained unemployed and many plants were either idle or operating at a point much below capacity levels.Despite the backwardness of international trade due partly to artificial restrictions, Canada has shown modest recovery in the last two years.Readjustments automatically effected in the economic system are at last making an impression.The importance of international trade to Canada is indicated by the fact that about sixteen per cent, of commodities produced here are shipped to external markets.Consequently, nearly 490,000 of our gainfully empolyed population are engaged in the production of goods for the export trade.The economic tendencies of Canada are laregiy dependent upon conditions in the principal countries with which we have commercial and financial ties.A mandate was recently conferred upon the present Canadian administration to encourage external trade by the lessening of governmental restrictions.In furtherance of this policy, a trade agreement was successfully concluded between this country and the United States.The agreement ex tends most-favored-nation treatment in respect of customs duties and related matters.Included in the arrangements are the reserv ations on the part of Canada with regard to trade with other areas in the British Commonwealth of Nation.-.The effect of the mos.t-fav ored-nation clause is that every concession, if it is an improvement over the existing race, which the United States may make with other countries will automatically be accorded to Canada as well.Economic conditions in the United States were well maintained at the moderate level reached in the early months of the year, the marked reactions characteristic of the two preceding years failing to recur in 1935.Industrial production as measured by the index of the Federal Reserve Board consequently showed a gain of about eleven per cent, over 1934.A significant factor of the year was the sharp gain in the imoort trade of the United States.Total imports were nearly $1,503,000,-000, a clear-cut increase of no less than twenty-one per cent, over the first nine month- of 1934.General imports from Canada were reported at $203,000,000 against $163,500.-000 in the first nine months of 1934, the increase Being 'topped up to 24.3 per cent.Exports from the United States, on the other head, recorded only a slight increase over 1934.\tThe total of exoor*s and re-exports was about $1,568,0-00, 009 in the nine-month period of 1935,\tC owing a gain of only 0.4 per cent, over the $1,561,000.000 of exports in the :-ame months of the preceding year.The gain in the exports to Canada was 6.6 per cent., the total in the available per iod of 1935 having been $243,000,-000.The prosperity of the United Kingdom continued in 1935, many sign* of definite progrrrbeing in evidence.The external trade of the United Kingdom was character ized by a considerable gain in exports during the first ten months of 1035.The total was £396,500,-000, recording the considerable gain of 7.4 per cent.The gain in exports

the first ten months of 1935 with the level of the same period of the preceding year.The exports of Canadian produce were valued at $576,800,000 in the available period of 1935 against $526,900,000 in the same months of 1934.The gain of 9.5 per cent., while by no means spectacular, 'must be considered as satisfactory.Eight of the nine groups of the chief component material ciass'fic-ation showed gains in this comparison.The exception was the group of crop products which showed a decline of three per cent.The outward shipment of animal products was accelerated to the extent of eighteen per cent.The two cla-:ses of crop and animai products consisting of tarm products and goods manufactured therefrom showed a gain of $7,860,000.Textile exports showed the largest percentage gain of 28.3 per cent., but the absolute increase was unimportant.The exports of wood and paper reached the relatively high total of $142,000,000, a gain of 8.2 per cent, over the same period of 1934.The iron and steel group increased 29.4 per cent., while non-fer-ous metals moved to external markets to the amount of $95,546,000 an increase of 22.2 per cent.The movement of non-metallic minerals to outside countries was 11.2 per cent, greater and chemicals and miscellaneous commodities showed gains of 1.4.4 per cent, and 5.1 per cent., respectively.During the first ten months of 1935, the exports of coin and bullion were $84,850,030 agianst $91.-735,000 in the same months of 1934.The indicated decline vas 7.5 per cent.The sum of the exports of Canadian and foreign produce and coin and bullion was move than $671,000,000 against $624, 600.000.\tImports of merchandise plus the small amount of builion imported were $456,840,000 against $425,100,000.The excess of exports over imports, gold being added to both accounts, was $214,500,-000 against $199,000,000.The gain in the so-called favorable balance of trade, including gold, was thus 7,5 per cent, over the same period of T934.While exports to the United Kingdom from Canada showed a gain of seven per cent, in this comparison, the proportion to the wnole export trade of the Dominion receded from 41.5 per cent, to 40.3 per cent.Exports of Canadian produce of other Empire countries rose from $53,900,000 to $59,800,000.a gain of eleven per cent.Imports from the United Kingdom at $96,600,000 showed a gain of only 3.2 per cent, in this comparison.This value was twenty-one per cent, of the total imports of Canaria, The total imports from other Empire countries were $45 - 800.000,\tshowing a gain of thirty per cent.Some improvement was recorded in the position of primary producers during 1935, Crops on the whole were more bountiful than in the preceding year.Wholesale prices for many farm products, especially animal products, reached a higher level.The number of live stock on j farms showed recession in each of I the main, divisions, resulting from! recent liquidation at relatively at J tractive prices.Increased production of metals was the feature of the mining !n-| duatry, the output of copper, nickel j and zinc recording new highs in his-, tory.The output of gold was also greater due to the arrival of many) new mines at the production atyge : The lumber industry measured [ by the number employed was morel active but the export of planks and 1 board» showed recession due mainly) to reduced shipments to the British market The output of newsprint reached a new high point, but the price remained at depression levels The catch of sea fish showed a.decline of 2.6 per cent, ami the value showed a corresponding tendency.Exports of fish, however, including canned salmon, were worth anout seven per cent, more than in the same period of 1934.Despite the decline in prices, the value of fur exports was merely maintained.The production of manufacturing plants, according to the official index, was appreciably in advance of the preceding year, while the gain in empolyment was more than seven per cent.The iron and steel and other industries engaged in the production of industrial equipment showed marked gains over the preceding year.The food and textile industries producing consumers\u2019 goods were also more active The automobile industry took on a new lease of life in 1935, the gain in output being about thirty per cent.The oil industry reported Further progress, but a contrary tendency was shown in the manufacture of tires.The power industry with a gain in output of about eleven per cent, over 1934 reached a new nigh point Owing to the rapid long-term growth, the reaching of maxima in the monthly output cf electric energy has become a commonplace.The gain in construction con tracts was about eleven per cent, and building permits in principal cities showed a much greater percentage gain.Despite governmenta1 construction, the industry failed to reach the normal levels of pre-depression years.The increase in railway ti\u2019affic was decidedly slight and the modest gain in gross operating revenues was very much more than counterbalanced by the increase in operating expenses.The net operating revenues of the railways in the first nine months consequently showed a decline of fifteen per cent.Tonnage of vessels clearing from six principal ports showed a slight gain, while the cargo tonnage from five ports, Montreal statistics being unavailable, was nearly five per cent, less.In conclusion it may be said that further progress toward more prosperous conditions was effected in Canada during the year just ended.Productive operations on the whole were made active, a few industries even reaching the levels of the last period of prosperity culminating in 1929.Such cases, however, were exceptional and factors significant of industrial activity indicate that a normal position has not yet been regained, especially if adequate allowance is made for the long-term growth.The major economic facrors how'ever, when compared with 1934, furnish for the most part a favorable reading.Business operations increased, supplementing the gain of the two preceding years.The general average of wholesale prices was remarkably stable at the level maintained since the begin \u201cing of 1934.High-grade bonds for the greater part of the year were quoted at the highest level since the war period, when Dominion issues first became an important factor in the domestic market.The deposit liabilities of the chartered banks showed a significant gain commencing with the summer of 1934, Reflecting the lack of expansion in bank loans, the security holdings and the readily available astttc of the banks reached new high levels.The recent advance in common stock prices to a maximum for recent years was based on better prospect' for corporate earnings due to resumption of industrial operations and the stable level of commodity prices, HOSPITAL SCENE OF FIRE TRAGEDY Cleveland, Jan.3.\u2014One man was fatally burned another was near death and thirteen other

SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD, FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1936.PAGE FIVE MURDER CHARGE LAID AGAINST WOTTON YOUTH Philemon Boisvert, Eighteen Years Old, Appeared Before Judge Couture This Morning Charged with Clubbing Grandfather Following Christmas Eve Quarrel.An eighteen-year-old youth stood Unemotionally before Judge J.S.Couture in the Magistrate\u2019s Court this morning and heard himself charged with the murder of his grandfather.He was Philemon Boisvert, of Wotton, who is alleged by police to have clubbed his grandfather, Moise Boisvert, sixty-five years old, over the head on Christmas eve following a quarrel over the use of a horse and rig to go to midnight mass.The youth was remanded to January 8th, when he will appear for preliminary hearing.The murder charge against young Boisvert was lodged only this morning.Since his arrest following the the coroner\u2019s inquest at Wotton on Friday night last, he has been held in the local jail on a coroner\u2019s Avariant charging him with criminal responsibility for his granddad\u2019s death.Boisvert sat with other prisoners for about twenty minutes before his arraignment this morning.A medium sized, dark-haired lad, wearing an impressed rough tweed suit and a flowing black tie, he appeared unconcerned.He showed no emotion when he heard the charge of murder read.Roland Dugre appeared on his behalf.On Christmas eve, according to police, Philemon Boisvert asked his grandfather for the use of a horse and sleigh with which to go to Wotton to attend midnight mass.Moise Boisvert refused the loan of his sleigh and told his grandson he could walk if he desired to go to Wotton, two miles away.The lad nevertheless went to the barn and hitched up.His grandfather went out of the house and stopped him.The boy got out of the sleigh and the old man replaced it in the barn.Police claim that Philemon, arming himself with a heavy club, concealed himself near the barn door and attacked his grandfather as he emerged.Moise Boisvert was felled by a hard blow to the head.He was treated at his home, and died on Friday afternoon, December 27th.That night Dr.George Retendre, of Djfnville,' held an inquest at which a verdict holding Philemon criminally responsible, was returned.Philemon was placed in custody and taken to .Sherbrooke on Saturday afternoon by Bailifi' Fernand Vaillancourt, of Wotton.«!- LENNOXVILLE A very pleasant New Year\u2019s party was held at \u201cHappy Knoll,\u2019\u2019 when Mr.and Mre.David Harrison entertained about twenty-two of their friends and relatives.Cards were enjoyed and an old-fashioned \u201csing song\u2019\u2019 was one of the features of the party.Among those present were Dr.and Mrs.J.C.Woodward, of Ottawa; Miss Hertha Crawford, of Montreal General Hospital; Mr.and Mrs.C.J.Woodward, Mr.and Mrs.Hugh D.Woodward, Mr.and Mrs.J.A.Woodward and Mr.Charles Crawford, all of Moulton Hill; Mr.and Mrs.Laddie Littlejohn and little daughter, Eileen, Mrs.Kate Reed, Miss Joanna Woodward and Mr.and W.H.Johnston and sons, Russell, Reed, Breton and David, all of Lennoxville.Miss Frances Carroll, of Montreal, is visiting at the home of Mr.and Mrs.II.Aldrich.Mr.Arthur Mills lias returned home after spending two weeks in Drummondvillc, where he was a guest at the home of Mr.and Mrs.J.H.Mastine.Mrs.A.Mills spent Christmas and New Year\u2019s with friends and relatives in Danville and Asbestos.SNOWFALL COSTS CITY FATHERS ABOUT $1,500 Crews of Men Despatched with Plows and Trucks This Morning to Clear Streets and Sidewalks of Six-Inch Fall of Snow which Impeded Local Traffic and Caused Derailment of Freight Car in C.P.R.Yard.A six-inch fall of snow \u2014 the heaviest experienced to date this winter\u2014impeded local traffic, blocked country roads, derailed a freight car in the C.P.R.yard, threatened to delay passenger train service and cost the City of Sherbrooke something like fifteen hundred dollars _as crews of men were despatched with plows, tractors and motor trucks to clear the streets and sidewalks.Comparatively little snow had fallen this winter; but this morning Mr.Citizens awoke to find the city buried under a thick blanket.The streets were impassable at many places.Motor cars ploughed into snowbanks and stalled.Auto buses had to reroute in order to reach their destination.One bus driver endeavored to travel from Alexander street to Belvidere, along King, and found it impossible.He appeared to be quite determined to make it.Time and again he backed his huge vehicle onto Alexander street to obtain a good start.Then he would plunge forward, up King\u2014for about a hundred yards.He could go no further.Finally, he turned down King and disappeared up Peel street.This reporter, already late for work, was unable to follow the bus driver\u2019s adventures any further.Most likely the vehicle met more difficulties before surmounting Peel street.Anything was likely to happen to auto buses and ordinary automobiles this morning.The weather was exceedingly mild, and this caused the snow to assume a heaviness which made conditions worse than they otherwise would have been.Hqrmenegilde Rheaume, Road Superintendent, began to clear the streets at four o\u2019clock this morning.Sixty-two men, half of these unemployed, were placed at work with twelve trucks, two tractors, five snowplows and eighteen sidewalk plows.Officials at tho City Hall estimated that about $1,-500 would find its way out of the municipal treasury to pay for the clearing of streets and sidewalks.The snow caused a freight car to derail in the Canadian Pacific Railway yards on Belvidere street at about nine o\u2019clock this morning.Little damage was caused, however.The car was quickly re-railed, the tracks cleared, and C.P.R.authorities had nothing further to worry about \u2014 as far as the Belvidere street freight yard was concerned.The snowfall east of Lake Me-gantic appeared to have been more formidable and caused a delay of about half an hour in the schedule of the Saint John-Montreal train.No trouble was experienced this side of Megantic.In fact, from that point on the engineer was able to make up for some time he had lost.Q.C.R.and C.N.R.trains were reported on time, while Bell Telephone authorities reported that the wet, heavy snow had not damaged their lines to any great extent.Skiiers were disappointed at the mild weather this morning.Rain threatened to follow the snow-fall, and this did not at all help their week-end plans which called for plenty of skiing in the Eastern Townships, and, in some instances, in other parts of the Province.ADM LEAGUE TO LOOK AFTER MEMBER STATES &- CITY BRIEFLETS -S» ¦ « Don\u2019t miss Skinner\u2019s Grab Sale now on.?20Q worth of free prizes.Monday being Epiphany, our store will he closed all day.\u2014Portland Store, 56 Wolfe St.Phone 304.Meeting King George V Chapter, I.O.D.E.at MacKinnon Memorial, Mon., Jan.6th, at 3 p.m.The scheduled sale by auction of the magazines and_ periodicals for the 12 months\u2019 period, Jan.to Dec.1936, will be held at the library on Tuesday, Jan.7th, at 8.15 p.m.\"correction Saturday is Children\u2019s Day at the Sherbrooke Snowshoe Club from 2 to 6 p.m., not Friday as advertised In yesterday's paper.There is no excuse for going ¦without sox Ihis wintry weather when you can buy them for so little\u2014real wool too!

resignation On December 29.lie had served since October 26, 1933, in \u201cretraining, reconstruction and resettlement\u201d of German refugees, \u201cGerman opinion is that the League has every cause to concern itself with how minorities are igeat-rd within League states before it can claim the right to occupy itself with how Germany, from the material and moral experience of her collapse, is rebuilding herself,\" the commentary said.Raising anew the question of treatment of Germans in other nations, the official statement said; \u201cHundreds of thousands of persons in World War-defeated conn-tries, who found themselves without countries or without means of existence after the war, have no one in the world to take compassion on them.\u201d One of Buddha\u2019s wishes was that no images be made of him after his death.This wish has been disregarded, especially by the Burmese, who have creeted a reclining statue SO feet long and 41 feet high at Pegu.Toll it to fifty thousand in Record Want Ads for a cent a word.RADIO LICENSE CASES.Six local residents were summoned before Judge J.S.Couture in the Magistrate\u2019s Court this morning to face charges of having neglected to procure licenses for their radios.Two of these pleaded guilty and were fined one dollar and costs.The costs amount to $7.50.The other cases were remanded to next week.BANK CLEARINGS START NEW YEAR WITH INCREASE.The Sherbrooke Clearing House has started 1936 in high spirits, the first report of the year for the week ending yesterday recording an increase of $84,435.37 over the corresponding period last year, the figures being: 1936, $585,351.73, 1935, $500,916.36.For the opening week of 1934, clearings were $535,035.47, or $60,-316.26 less than last week.V.O.N.PLAN FUTURE ACTIVITIES At a special meeting of the Victorian Order of Nurses held under the presidency of Mrs.Andrew Sangster, it was unanimously decided to accept the gracious offer of Mrs.Andrea Faton Robinson to hold a bridge and tea at \u201cRock-mount,\u201d her residence on Moore street.Arrangements are under way for the coming event under the supervision of Mrs.Sangster and Mrs.John Stein.REVIEW OF SUPERIOR COURT ACTIVITIES.A review of Superior Court activities for the past year, made public today, records that 620 writ?of summons were issued as compared with 694 in 1934.There were 273 writs of seizure after judgment, a decrease of 106 compared with the preceding twelve months.Judgments were handed down in 420 contested cases, as against 488 in 1934; and in 300 non-contesfced cases, compared with 360 the previous year.Non-contentious proceedings totalled 254 last year and 23,0 in 1934.C.P.R.OFFICIAL VISITED SHERBROOKE YESTERDAY.Recently appointed superintendent of the Farnham division of the Canadian Pacific Railway, W.E.McGill was in Sherbrooke on his first tour of inspection yesterday.Mr.McGill, formerly assistant superintendent of the Algoma division, moved to Farnham from Sudbury, Ont., to succeed C, O.McHugh.He was accompanied yesterday by F.M.Donegal!, assistant superintendent of the Farnham division and by Leo Foley, local freight agent.Mr.McHugh, who has spent two and a half years in Farnham, has been promoted to the position of superintendent of transportation in Montreal.SEASONAL INCREASE IN UNEMPLOYMENT While Sherbrooke\u2019s unemployment situation is decidedly more encouraging than in many other centers throughout the province, there is a slight increase noticed in figures made public at the City Hall this morning.This increase, however, is regarded as seasonal as there are always more people: out of work during the winter months.There are at present three hundred local families on relief.This represents a total of approximately 1.500 persons.Last year at this time there were 580 families or 2,900 persons depending on the city for food and provisions.It is expected that the present number on relief will not be increased to any great extent during the present winter months, there being much more employment available than during the 1935 winter.CITY HALL GOING HIGH-BROW Tho first thing the citizens know sonnets and odes instead of tax bills will be coming from the City Hall.Whatever may be the, outcome, someone apparently developed a sudden love of nature and within the next dev or so ferns will be bangin'* from all the windows in the main offices.If there are enough ferns to go around even the Council Chamber is to be bedecked.Perhaps in time it will he possible to have gold fish and canaries added to the, picture.The ferns were grown in the municipal greenhouse and there was no special place to put them.On second thought it was remembered that, there was a City Hall with a nature-loving staff.So the City Hall is going to start 1936 with something new in municipal interior decorating.FUNERAL OF W.H.GRIFFITH The nnortal remains of William Henry Griffith, who passed away on Monday afternoon, were taken to St.Patrick\u2019s Church yesterday morning to receive the last blessing of the church where he had been a devout worshipper since the beginning of St.Patrick's parish in Sherbrooke.Following the service the casket was reverently committed to Its last resting place in St.Michael's Cemetery.The remains were received at Hie church by the pastor, Rev.Canon \u2022T.C.Me Gee, while the solemn mass of requiem was sung by Rev.Father Alfred Linahen, curate of the MANY PAY FDR VIOLATION OF TRAFFIC LAWS Of 517 Arrests Made During Past Twelve Months by Municipal Police, 142 Were for Breaking Traffic Regulations Municipal bluecoats made 517 arrests during the past year, an increase of thirty-five compared with the 1934 total, accordin to statistics issued today by Chief H.O.Cami-rand.Violation of traffic by-laws accounted for the largest number of these\u2014142.In this is seen the Chief\u2019s deter xination to stamp out reckless driving, carelessness and imprudence on the part of motorists who have no consideration for pedestrians and other automobilists and are a real menace to the community.Charges of being drunk and disorderly landed 136 persons behind the bars, with drunkenness and incapable accounting for seventy-nine arrests.The remainder of the arrests consisted of seventy-seven cases of vagrancy; thirty-one cases of theft; eighteen violations of municipal by-laws; eight infractions of the Quebec Motor Act; five inmates of disorderly houses; five cases of common assault; five cases of nonsupport;
