committee to investigate conditions and report to the full board as quickly as possible.Meantime boards of trade of the larger cities across Canada are being asked to take similar action so as to be

Three-year-old Andre Couture, son of Ulric Couture, of this city, lost | his life Saturday by strychnine 1 poisoning.Members of a jury un-cer Dr.Oscar Laberge, of Iberville, 'coroner of the district, rendered a verdict of accidental death.The coroner was mformed that .in the home of the child at the in-; t ^rsection of Bouthiliier and St.Charles streets, an American woman relative of the child spending 1 a vacation there, had taken a pill from a box and left the balance on a table in the house.The child, then playing about, mistook the pills of strychnine for candy and ate several of them.Death was almost instantaneous, and the child died in his grandfather\u2019s arms.The coroner expressed the opinion that the victim evidently swallowed between ten or twelve pills, and two would have been enough to prove fatal to a baby.Dr.Oscar Laberge was also summoned into the home of Ephrem (Quintin, in the village of St.Gre-| goire.A baby of a few months old, ! Jacques Quintin, was found dead in | his crib early Saturday morning.| The coroner disposed of the case th a verdict of natural death.HAS MODIFIED VIEW ON DEBTS Entire Crew of Twenty-Nine Saved from Freighter, Which Went Down in Seventeen Minutes\u2014 Passengers Aboard Liner Safe.HAVRE, FRANCE, June 15.\u2014The Italian freighter Ungheria sank yesterday off Ushant, France, near the entrance to the English Channel, after a collision with the liner Rochambeau, aboard which twenty-four United States people were returning to New York.The entire crew of twenty-nine took to their boats and came aboard the Rochambeau.None was injured aboard either ship.The French liner put back to port and her passengers will sail for home tomorrow aboard the Ile De France.The accident occurred in a heavy fog about ten miles off shore.When the vessels struck it tore a hole in the hull of the Ungheria and she sank stern first in seventeen minutes.The Rochambeau lowered her boats but they were not needed.The seamen were given food, clothing and restoratives.T.NAZAIRE, France, June 15.\u2014The toll of the dead in tha sinking of the excursion steamer St.Philibert tentatively was placed at 422 today by Deputy Mayor Blancho, speaking through his wife.Madame Blancho represented her husband, who was exhausted after working all night at the scene of the disaster, in a conference with the press.\"If no better news comes to contradict us we must count the total at 422 dead,\u201d she said.\u201cOnly eight people were saved from the wreck.Only seventeen stayed at Noirmoutier instead of returning on the boat.We must French j admit that only twenty-five were saved out of 467.A mass of black clouds, part of a general atmospheric disturbance in Western Europe and the British Isles, bore down on the steamer about 7.30 p.m., and was followed by a series of towering seas.As the ship lurched on its beam ends, the panic-stricken passengers massed on the port side and the craft was unable to right itself.She turned completely over and the human cargo was spilled into the water.The ordinarily calm waters of tha hay became a maelstrom of struggling humans.A few had managed lifebelts at the first hint of Stand that Reparations Not Linked to Debts Hitherto Firm.WELL-KNOWN POSTAL OFFICIAL DEAD TORONTO, Ont., June 15.\u2014 j Founder and for forty-one years ! secretary-treasurer of the Dominion j I Letter Carriers\u2019 Association, Alex-1 iander McMordie is dead here, aged 1 78.He took a prominent part in the | ! postal strike and the settlement! which followed here about ten years!

Wales also was severely swept.Lightning did some damage in certain spots and hailstones, an inch in diameter, fell in others, playing havoc with windows and crops.Motor traffic was stopped in many places and a few railway tracks were swamped.'disturbances in the interior.In Paris and suburbs the populace experienced one of the most sultry, depressing days, in years.Late in the afternoon squalls changed the intense heat to cold and sent spirals of wind across this section.The blast hit channel resorts as well as the Brittany coast.Many tourists in such places as Paris-Plage and Trouville were caught in sandstorms which filled eyes with sand and caused great discomfort.At Granville, Normandy, the sky was overcast by a black pall and thunder showers occurred, accompanied by hailstorms nearly as large as hen\u2019s eggs.The lower quarters were inundated and the streets became torrents of water.The violence of the storm was shown by an accident at Dunkirk.An automobile literally was swept from the highway aqd dropped into a canal.Two Belgians, a man and a woman, were drowned and two other women saved their lives by breaking :heir way out of the car.CAR WAS BLOWN OFF ROAD AND THROWN INTO A CANAL VIOLENT WINDSTORM WAS EXPERIENCED IN BELGIUM PARIS, June 15.\u2014 A cyclonic BRUSSELS, Belgium, June 15.\u2014 storm, in which the excursion boat.One person was killed and several St.Philibert was lost, swept the injured yesterday by a violent wind-western const of France yesterday storm which did considerable damage and produced strange atmospheric1 to buildings.WASHINGTON, June 15.\u2014 For the first time since the relation of German reparations to war-time debts owed by Europe to the United States has been a subject of intense controversy, a government spokesman Saturday publicly admitted that the administration has an open mind on the whole situation.This occurred when William R.Castle, Jr., Under Secretary of State received newspaper correspondents for their daily conference at the State Department, acting for Secretary Stimson, who had remained at his home working on private matters, When asked if the administration was open to consideration of the debt question in the light of the new situation in Europe and particularly new facts growing out of conditions in Germany, Mr.Castle replied that, although the debt policy of the Government was clearly established, obviously, in case of any serious crisis, the Government would have to consider whether a temporary change in its policy was necessary.The Under-Secretary of State expressed the opinion that such a situation had not arisen and made clear that, formally, at least, the attitude this Government has long maintained that there is no connection betrveen war debts and reparations has not been changed.The position, he added, remains just as it was -when the International Chamber of Commerce held its annual meeting here last month, but the administration is watching the situation very carefully and is open-minded on the subject.Although Mr.Castle spoke with reserve, his oral announcement constituted an advance in the position the Government has publicly taken oh the debt position.For more than a year treasury officials have said informally that if any of the debtor nations made a proposal for a change in their debt funding agreements, it would obviously have to receive very careful consideration, but this was as far as they -would go even in private conversation.When the International Chamber of Commerce assembled here, the administration let it be known that the position of this Government was that there was no connection between war debts and reparations, and President Hoover was said to have discouraged discussion of the debts at the sessions of the organization.Secretary Mellon mentioned the question inferentially in a luncheon address before international bankers at that time by pointing to the confidence the European governments had established for themselves in demonstrating their willingness and ability to meet their obligations.With the situation becoming more acute for Germany, however, in the face of the world-wide depression, intimations were recently given that President Hoover might consider a scaling down in the war debts, should the European powers demonstrate their intention not to put the resulting savings into armaments and agree to a substantial cut in their military establishments at the general disarmament conference next year.The* State Department has information that conditions in Germany are serious, although not yet critical.It is believed that, unless some sudden political overturn should occur, the problem of reparations and debts will not focus sharply before Fall.In the meantime Secretary Stimson will have had an opportunity to discuss the two subjects as chambeau, wrhich receiver! a | damaged prow', praised the \u201cwonderful self-control\u201d exhibited by his passengers at the.time of the crash.Neither men nor women exhibited fear, it was said, and all remained calm while the freighter was going down.EMBARGO BEING DISREGARDED BY RUSSIANS Russian Sale m Clothing Offered for Montreal at Greatly sank without a chance for life, their cries nearly drowning out the howls of the storm.A strong current evidently carried scores of bodies cut to sea.The lighthouse Keeper was the first person ashore to sense the impend-ing tragedy.H\u2022 gue-t* they, [have been i.nce returning from I \u2022Florida, were ¦ tor' :n '.\u2022anneai* tow tAir fVtRYWHtltt 25e/»rjxi/ yNu/Ç W-ir Mancie 'isi'bi'bTSOM ME I CALUlNl\u2019 ON) THE-DUKE !
