[" Established 1897 SHERBROOKE, CANADA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1932.Thirty-Sixth Year.EIGHTEEN-YEAR-OLD LAD HELD ON A CHARGE OF MURDERING BROTHER Jurymen Required Evidence of Comparatively Few Witnesses to Hold Emile Sevigny Criminally Responsible for Notre Dame de Ham Tragedy\u2014Witnesses Described Details of Party on Night Donat Sevigny Was Poisoned \u2014Confession Presented by Detectives.Over the head of eighteen-year-old Emile Sevigny, of Notre Dame de Ham, today hangs the charge of murder.He is accused of killing his own brother, Donat Sevigny, in a fit of jeaiousy.A warrant charging him with murder was issued by Leonidas Bachand, of Sherbrooke, coroner for St.f rancis District, yesterday afternoon following the inquest at North Ham, when the jurymen held the young lad criminally responsible for the death of his twenty-vear-old brother.Escorted to the Sherbrooke jail by Provincial Police officers, the boy today awaits his preliminary hearing.His eyes, swollen and red from much crying, contain a frightened stare as full realization of the crime with which he is charged surges over him.The belated inquest into Donat Sevigny\u2019s death was held in the village of North Ham, some sixty miles from here, yesterday afternoon by Coroner Bachand.Due to the heavy snow fall which occurred recently in that district, Coroner Bachand, accompanied by provincial dectectives, Dr.Rosario Fontaine, of Montreal, lawyers and newspapermen, had to drive twenty miles by sleigh in twenty degress below zero weather yesterday before reaching North Ham.Consequently, it was impossible to inaugurate the inquest before two o\u2019clock in the afternoon.The jurymen rendered their verdict shortly before six.The jurymen required the evidence ^________________ of comparatively few witnesses to | be sufficiently enlightened regarding^ t\tF1 A Mil I1TC!

Kelly.Quebec, Dec.17.\u2014Although admitting that distress is prevalent in many parts of the country, Premier Taschereau yesterday declared that J no citizen in the Province of Quebec i would be allowed to starve.The j declaration came as a reply to a statement by Hon.John Hall Kelly concerning conditions in the Gaspe peninsula.The statement in part follows: \u201cThe Hon.Mr.Kelly yesterday gave to the press a long communication relative to economic conditions in the Gaspe district.In it he associated my name, and certain letters which I had written on this subject.This incident requires certain explanations.\u201cI have no desire to doubt the sincerity which has animated lion.Mr.Kelly in his desire to be of use to the population in the midst of which he.lives and which he desires to aid.The same spirit prevails amongst the other members of our counties, which, during the dark days which we are traversing, art suffering much misery and difficulties.Several days ago Mr.Kelly gave an interview to the newspapers in which he said that 2,000 families comprising 10,000 persons in Gaspe were menaced with starvation.\u201cThe Ontario newspapers published this interview with gross exaggerations.For the honor of the province, I have thought it my duty to protest, convinced that there has been a great deal of exaggeration, and that it is false that everybody is going to starve.The province does not treat its people in this manner.Several weeks ago Mr.Kelly came to me and said that there was a great deal of misery in his district, and that a means of remedying the situation would tithe sale to a company of 10,000 cords of pulpwood which could be cut by the residents in the vicinity.\u201cWe therefore got in touch with the Canadian International Paper Company and pressed them in every way to buy this wood.I had the representative of the company come to Quebec, and he promised to try and accede to my demand, but a serious objection to the project was presented in the freight rate on the Canadian National Railways for the carriage of the w-ood from the different points where it would be cut to the mills of the International Company.This rate the company found to be prohibitive.\u201cMr.Kelly and myself held a consultation in my office and decided to unite our efforts in obtaining a reduction in the rate.\u201cMr.Kelly said he had seen Mr.Hungerford, but without success, and he asked me to write and tell him of the distress in Gaspe.It was Mr.Kelly who prepared the letter to Mr.Hungerford, which was published in the press.He put what he thought proper in it, and I signed it.It was equally understood that I should write to Hon.W.A.Gordon, Minister of Labor at Ottawa, asking him to aid us with the C.N.R.authorities, because if this wood was purchased, Ottawa and Quebec would have so much less to pay in order to help unemployed.It was also understood that we would request Mgr.Ross, Bishop of Gaspe, to telegraph in the same sense.\u201cMr.Gordon replied in a sympathetic manner, as did Mr.Hungerford, who granted the lowest possible rate on his system, and today a representative of the Canadian International Paper Company visited me and stated that up to the present the company had purchased 2,000 cords and hoped to reach 10,-000 cords ultimately.This is the role ¦which I have played in this transaction, and I believe that I have been useful as has Mr.Kelly to the population of Gaspe.CHAPDELAINE MURDER CASE GIVEN TO PETIT JÜRÏ THIS AFTERNOON Fate of Accused Widow Will Be Known During Course of Afternoon\u2014Final Chapter of Actual Trial Written Shortly After Noon Following Impartial Address by Presiding Justice\u2014Wilfrid Lazure, K.C., Made Forceful Charges on Behalf of Prosecution.The fate of Dame Beatrice Bernard, thirty-one-year-old widow-accused of the murder of her husband, Ludger Chapdeiaine, of East Angus, was placed in the hands of the petit jury of the Court of King\u2019s Bench at twelve-ten o\u2019clock this afternoon, when His Lordship, Mr.Justice Charles D.White, concluded his instructions to the panel and adjourned until two o\u2019clock for the verd\u2019et.The consensus of opinion was that an unanimous decision would be reached at that time, with the majority firmly believing that a conviction would be rendered.There was a popular figure missing when the sordid drama was brought to a conclusion at noon today.Last evening Court crier Denis Gauthier opened the supplementary session with his customary warning \u201cSilence!\u201d This morning his stentorian voice was silenced by death, suddenly taker, before a higher tribunal after listening to a worldly court attempting to decipher the destiny of another human being.His customary duties were performed this morning by Joseph Begin, official Court stenographer.In his impartial manner, His Lord-ship made an impressive and flawless charge to the jury.\u201cMy duty,\u201d he said, \u201cis to instruct you on the points of law which apply to this case.You are obliged to follow my advice on these questions, and if I err the Court of Appeal is there to rectify my mistake.I will tell you the legal manner to judge the facts, but you are not obliged to concur with my views.If you have a rtcri-ous doubt in your mind after weighing the evidence produced before you it is your duty to favor the accused.\u201d \u201cMurder,\u201d continued Judge White, \u201cis one of the most serious crimes, and consequently the penalty is most harsh.A verdict of manslaughter is possible and permissible if you discover facts pointing in this direction, but such a verdict is hardly possible.His Lordship referred ^ to the Sevigny case to illustrate his point, pointing out that manslaughter was jusitfiable if there was sufficient proof to show- that the accused had given her husband poi-i son, but not with the intention of ' killing him.Commenting on the four points advanced by the Crown, the Court remarked that it had judged this declaration admissabie as proof because there v-ere too many matters of pure invention in the version given by the accused.As a rule, His- Lordship ¦ admitted freely, he was not in favor of confessions obtained while an accused person was detained in jail, bur.in the present case he had decided that the.declaration had Keen-voluntarily given.Short reference w-as made to the testmiony of Mr.and Mrs.Gedeon Bernard, while more time was devoted to the circumstantial evidence produced.This proof was most formidable, the tribunal declared, but a jury should always exercise seri-I ous care to discover if every circum-; stancé pointed in the one direction, jit is quite.natural, the jury was in-j formed, that Bernard had hesitated and finally refused to speak against ! his sister.! On the proof advanced by the Crown rested the answers to contentions raised by the defence.Through the medium of the confes-! sion declaration, the defence argu-| ment that Mrs.Chapdeiaine had not : administered arsenic to her husband i was answered.| After giving a concise definition I of a reasonable doubt, His Lordship , instructed the panel to select a fore-' man and to retire for deliberation, i The jury remained in St.Vincent i de Paul Hospital for its discussions, land the verdict will be rendered in i the same endroit.Wilfrid Lazure this morning occu-I pied the limelight as he played the j lawyer\u2019s final role before the case I was placed in the hands of the jury, j \u201cI never imagined that the Court ¦of King\u2019s Bench would be conducted ; in a hospital,\u201d were the Crown pro-| secutor\u2019s opening introductory re-; marks to a highly logical address, i \u201cI will skip over the eulogies to the ! defence and Bench because this trial I has lasted much longer than it should have.During the past fifteen days you have noticed for yourselves ! that the presiding judge, the defence ! and the Crown have fulfilled their respective duties.My role is similar , to yours.I stand before you to pro-: tect society from criminals.I have j no case to lose and consequently will | no: appeal to your sympathy, but rather to your sound judgment and ; reason.As long as juries remain | faithful to their oath, there is no ; danger that this province will ever i be comparable to Chicago, as the defence would make you believe.I am ¦ here to help you administer the ends i of justice, and if I had a serious ; doubt I would be the first one to tell you that there were extenuating ; circumstances.\u201d Mr.Lazure criticized the tenor of | the defence pleas, claiming that he had never before listened to such abuse hurled at the provincial police force.Not a single Crown witness escaped unscathed, the Crown stated, but why should disinterested persons walk into a Court room and perjure themselves without any reason.The defence, it was argued, had no right to raise the gruesome reminder of the gallows before the panel, nor to insinuate the contention about children asking their fathers if they were positive the accused was guilty when they rendered a conviction.This line of defence, Mr.Lazure stated, revealed the weakness of the defence, because such a procedure was never followed if there were cold facts at hand.The Crown\u2019s case was divided into four principal items, Mr.Lazure continued, the written confession; the verbal declaration the accused (Continued on page 2) j NEW FRENCH CABINET IS BOUND TO VOTE TO DEFER DEBT PAYMENT Paris, Dec.17.\u2014 Premier j designate Joseph Paul-Boncour J told Socialist leaders

Investigation Will Be Welcomed.R.B, BENNETT\u2019S WORK CAPACITY Ottawa, Dec.17,\u2014In view of irregularities which have been discovered in the administration of unemployment relief in certain of the provinces, the Department of the Auditor-General is \u201cincreasing its activities,\u201d according to infoi-mation obtained today, At present audits are being made of unemployment relief expenditures in the Provinces of British Columbia and Quebec.Primarily, the responsibility for the administration of these funds rested on the Provinces.On the other hand, the Dominion authorities were vitally interested in seeing that the money granted was expended in accordance with regulations, and therefore right from the outset there had been a survey by the Auditor-General\u2019s office, it was stated.TASCHEREAU READY Quebec, Dec.17.\u2014Any investigation on the part of the Dominion Auditor-General into abuses of the direct relief for unemployment distress will be welcomed by the Government of Quebec, Premier L.A.Taschereau said today.\u201cI am glad to hear it.It will be welcomed as far as we are concerned,\u201d the Premier said.BRITISH CURRENCIES FIRM New York,

Dec.17.\u2014Rt.Hon.R.B.Bennett\u2019s capacity for work came in for warm praise from Britain's Conservative lead' in the proposing of his health at a Canadian Club dinner last night.Declaring that Canada\u2019s Prime Minister possessed this gift in a degree which he himself could not conceive \u201ceven in a nightmare,\u201d Rt.Hon.Stanley Baldwin paid a glowing tribute to bis accomplishments in the past two years and voiced .onfidence in his successful continurtnec.\u201ca-s the Dominion's leader.Pointing out that Canada was the only country in the rvorld, besides Germany which would gain nothing from cancellation of war-debts, Mr.Bennett discussed the Dominion\u2019s financial position at some length, declaring that no Canadian loan had ever failed and emphasizing the fact that the Dominion Government had borrowed more from the country's own people than from all the rest of the world together.Hon.G.Howard Ferguson, Canadian High Commissioner, presided and the gathering included Lord Hailsham, ' icretary of State for War and Government leader in the House of Lords; Rt.Hon.J.H.Thomas, fecretary for the Dominions; Lord Dawson of Penn, royal physician; Lord Blanesborough;

Dec.17.\u2014Paul Pob-quin, forty-five years of age, a well-known workman of Coaticook, had a miraculous escape from death in a land slide while at work m the town\u2019s gravel pit.The accident occurred yesterday afternoon.Six of the town\u2019s employees were engaged in the gravel pit.Several charges of dynamite had been set off to loosen the gravel and the men had just returned to their tasks when the cave-in took place.Paul Poliquin, Lucien Olivier and Arthur Gerard were trapped by the sliding gravel.The trucks used in transporting the gravel to other parts of trie town, where street work is under way, had been parked in the pit at a supposed safe distance from the part to be blasted, and the men were standing near the trucks.When the gravel came sliding down the men would undoubtedly have been buried alive had they not been thrown in such a way that the upper parts of their bodies were under the trucks and thus protected to a certain extent.Even at that the workmen had a decidedly, unpleasant experience for they were firmly held by the weight of the gravel, which was a slide of about fifty cubic yards.Olivier and Gerard were freed after a short time by fellow-workmen,'who had arrived on the scene after a hurried call had been sen*-to the road superintendent, Henri Lavoie.It tcok twenty minutes of hard work to free Poliquin, who suffered serious injuries.When finally rescued, he was practically unconscious, and was immediately rushed to Nurse Tafe\u2019s Hospital by ambulance.He was accompanied by Rev.Father Simard and alt the hospital was gi^en attention by Dr.Verroneau.Although he will be confined to his bed for ten days or more, he is not sufferiniJ- any broken bo.ies, Dr.Verroneau reported.The otljer two men will be about again very shortly.A landslide that occurred in the same pit in 1906 claimed the lives of three men.Montreal, December 17.\u2014Both the plaintiff, Mrs.L.S.Channell, of Sherbrooke, and the principal defendant, Stanley Johnston, of Montreal, appear for questioning in today\u2019s story of the proceedings in the case of Mrs.Channel! against the Montreal Stock Exchange firm of Johnston and Ward.Mrs.Channell is endeavoring to recover losses in the stock market to the extent of about $150,000 from the brokerage firm.The evidence opens with Col.M.W.McA\u2019Nulty, manager of the Sherbrooke office of the firm, on the stand.He is being questioned by.Lionel A.Forsyth, of the firm of Brown, Montgomery and Mc-Michael, the defence counsel, on the operations of the accounts of Mrs.Channell and her daughter, Mrs.Vera Webster.Following Col.McA\u2019Nulty\u2019s evidence, Mr.Johnston was recalled on behalf of the defendants and examined by Mr.Forsyth, the cross-examination being carried out by John T.Hackett, K.C., of Hackett, Foster, Mulvena and Hackett, the attorney for the plaintiff.After the short questioning of Mr.Johnston, Mrs.Channell was called.During the course of her rather lengthy evidence, she told of her dealings w'ith the firm.Her memory appeared none too good and she was unable to answer a great many of the questions put to her by the attorneys.The evidence continues with Col.McA\u2019Nulty being examined by Mr.Forsyth as follows: Question \u2014 You have told Mr.Hackett that at a certain timo early in December you told Mrs.FUNDING PLAN AT WASHINGTON Latest Proposal

circumstantial evidence and the indirect testimony given by Gcdeon Bernard.Should the jury believe that any one of these four points were proved conclusively, its duty was to return a conviction, while if any serious doubt existed an acquittal was the only alternative.\u201cFor more than three days the admissability of the confession was debated,\u201d Mr.Lazare pointed out, \u201cand the Court found that it was legal and granted permission to introduce it into the Court record.This voluntary declaration is a mere reproduction of the verbal statements the accused made to Dorais the day before she signed the admissions of guilt.The detective never precipitated her into this avowal, but gave her sufficient time to think over what she later confessed.Had Dorais pressed her, he naturally would have rushed for a justice of the peace instead of allowing the accused sufficient time to reconsider.True, blame can be cast on Dorais for having a woman with him during his investigations, but v.ho can cast the first stone?This iact had absolutely no bearing on the confession.\u201d Treating the allegations that Dorais had been intoxicated during his work.Mr.Lazure continued that a usual custom by a defence was to select some Crown witnesses, especially policemen, and blacken their tharacter in an attempt to take the minds of the jury from the important features.True, there were dishonest detectives, but of twelve apostles one had turned against his leader.Credible witnesses swore than Dorais was not under the influence of liquor on the occasions the defence charge, said Mr.Lazure.Mrs.Chapdelaine\u2019s confession had been corroborated by four witnesses and denied by herself alone.Detective Gauthier, whose evidence could not be eliminated by the mere accusation, \"I do not trust him, perjury is written across bis forehead\u201d had confirmed Dorais\u2019 version, as a\u2019so had Clerk of the Peace Caisse, who had no inter whatever in the case.¦sed had only told the Mr.Lazure\u2019s expression, iy understandable that she might tell some falsehoods to save her life, but she had surpassed her limit.She perjured herself so much that I am led *o believe that tying ;s a second nature.You have clearly seen that the accused is not an ordinary woman.She is so intelligent that she directed her own defence.Her deception, started when she led her husband to think that the adopted child was his own flesh and blood, continued three years, and concluded when she stepped from the witness stand after re.ating an impossible story.\u201d The defence's move to blacken and expose the life of a dead man could not be countenanced, was the prosecution's opiv n.The accused had no right to invent calumnies against the deceased even to save her own life.Mrs.Ge\u2022loon Bernard's evidence could not be treated lightly.She thought Mrs.Chapde'.aine was the guilty party and not ner husband, and for this reason Dorais asked her to tell him everything she knew against the accused.Mis.Bernard had been threatened by members of the Bernaru family to such a stage that a lawyer\u2019s letter of warning v as necessary to put an end to this harassing.Mrs.Bernard ha 1 been assured that the secret of her r.us-Land's compMcitv vealed, and this I her act go unpunished it will be : dangerous for husbands to name their wives as beneficiaries in future.It was one of the most coldblooded and calculated crimes I have 1 ever encountered.My task in requesting a conviction against a woman is not agreeable, but you must remember that Chapdelaine had as much right to live as the accused.\u201d Fate yesterday struck an ominous note in the proceedings when it decreed that under the same rouf .that the East Angus taxi driver had died would be fixed the res-, ponsibility for his mysteriouas death.In a disused chapel nearby the hospital room :.i which Chap-: delaine breathed his last, the chord of his life allegedly snapped by arsenic poisoning, Judge White presided over one of the final sessions of the prolonged hearing.The sur-: roundings in which the aftermath of the ~ puisai ting criminal battle : was held will remain indelibly inscribed on the memory of those who were afforded the op- Fails and the accused had to per-;third theory, that Chapdelaine could form all the household duties.Fin- ! have died other maladies except ally, Ludger Chapdelaine had to1 arsenic poisoning, Mr.Gervais con-order his brother out of the house, ; tended that while the Chapdelaine\u2019s and Elie Chapdelaine threatened his lived in Shawinigan Falls the hus-sister-in-law, the accused, that \u2018she band had been afflicted with a would pay for this.\u2019 Further am- throat disease.This disease had mosity towards Mrs.Chapdelaine never been treated, Chapdelaine was revealed when Chapdelaine stat-; refusing to submit to the operation ed he could not remember ever mak- ; prescribed by Dr.Begin when the ing th statement that Beatrice Chap-1 family moved to East Angus.There delaine would swing.Elie Chapde- was a possi'ility that Chapdelaine laine was the instigator of this case, poisoned himself, and there was because he hates tne accuseu.nt also ample ground to assume that had a discussion with her about ! his death resulted from acute his brother's interment and later ad- nephrytis.The coroner\u2019s inquest mitted to the Pomerleau family had returned a verdict of death that he had failed in his effort to be from uremia even with the same named tutor.\u201d\tj suspicions that existed' today.Mrs.Gedeon Bernard was held up \u201cYou realize that this woman is as the prosecution\u2019s second witness accused of murder?\u201d Mr.Gervais on this phase.Mrs.Bernard\u2019s prin- said in conclusion.\u201cThe defence cipai assertion was that the accused has attempted to do its share nna had visited her the day after Chap- accomplish its duty.You do nut delaine\u2019s death .and had admitted have to heed either the defence or using a portion of the second amount the Crown, out I am unable to see of arsenic Gedeon had sent her.The bow you can arrive at any other , Crown\u2019s contention in this regard, conclusion than that the Crown portunity if listening lo Cesaire although partly corroborated, was\tentirely to prove its case.Geibais\u2019 lengthy English plea.\tflotlv contradicted bv four mem- There are three verdicts possib.e, bers of Mrs.Chapdelaine's family ;

I mean the New York and the Canadian accounts carried in; h-r - e, as a combination?A.\u2014On October 16th the amoun/ of margin required was down to| 82,419, so I assume we can take! it as being roughly even.Thr; amount of securities left in h( * ac- ant at that time was $87,000, as against $150,000 which were ini on Octc'or 14ch.In other words/ the ;r!e of $03,000 worth of securities brought her account to where; it was almost even.I would say1 the sale of $70,000 worth of securities was required to bring her account to be fully margined.By Mr.Hackett: Q.\u2014Will you look at a number of monthly statements I show you, printed on the forms of Johnston & Vard, and will you say if they were sent monthly to the addressee, Mrs.Channel!, by your firm?Witness: Yes.Except, may I just point out, that at least four ofi them were not sent by our firm, but were sent by our auditors.Q.\u2014That is the customary practice?A.\u2014Yes, sir, twice a year, They bear t'.;ir stamp, asking that any discrepancy be reported to them.~ \u2014Will you produce the statements of the New York account to< November 30th, 1932, as an exhibit?A.\u2014Yes Q.\u2014Will you look at the monthly state rents of the Canadian account, and say if they were sent to the addressee, Mrs.Channell?A.\u2014Yes.MRS.CHANNELL RECALLED TO WITNESS STAND.Mrs.L S.Channell was recalled to the witness stand on behalf of the defendants and examined by Mr.Forsyth as follows: Q.\u2014I think you told us in your former examination that you conducted speculative accounts with Johnston & Ward, Sherbrooke office, for some time?A.\u2014Yes.Q.\u2014And also that your daughter, Mrs.Vera Webster, conducted speculative accounts there?A.\u2014Yes.Q.\u2014You have another daughter, Mrs.Wasson, who had a speculative account there, I think?A.\u2014I did the trading for that account.Q.\u2014That is, you conducted that account in the name of your daughter, Mrs.Wasson?A.\u2014Yes.Q.\u2014Whose securities supported it?A.\u2014Her own, and mine, I think.Q.\u2014There never was any question in your mind about the account of Mrs.Wasson as to the fact that you were looking after it yourself?A.\u2014No.Q.\u2014You agree with me about that ?A.\u2014Yes.Q.\u2014You were supporting that account yourself?A.\u2014Yes.Q,\u2014You gave the orders for the transactions which took place in it?A.\u2014Yes.Q.\u2014You have seen the accounts with respect to it?A.\u2014Yes.Q.\u2014And they are quite in order?A.\u2014Yes.Q.\u2014All the transactions were ordered by you ?A.\u2014Yes.Q.\u2014And, executed in accordance with your instructions?A.\u2014Yes.Q.\u2014That account was sold out?A.\u2014Yes.Q.\u2014And, the debit balance of the account of Mrs.Wasson was charged to you?A.\u2014Yes.Q.\u2014Ar.d, it was quite in order to do that ?A.\u2014Yes.Q.\u2014 You told Mr.Johnston to do that?A.\u2014I do not remember that I did.You mean the day I was in?Counsel\u2014Yes A.\u2014I do not remember that I told him that particular account, ic- j cause I did not know whether it wa;: | under margin.I had not thought j anything about it.It was a very small account.Q.\u2014You had not been asked then PRICES AND DETAILS OF SHERBROOKE MARKET Despite the dose approach of .Iceburg lettuce.19c to 15c Christmas, the usual delicacies as-j Lettuce, each\t\u2022\u2022 5c to J0« seriated with the festive season!

government, through its stabiliza-! tion agency, had been following a| policy of buying wheat futures on i the Winnipeg Grain Exchange, and passing a good deal of this grain on to interests engaged in the export trade, have been found erroneous, say market observers.Under such a policy, the grain would have been exchanged out-j side the pit, the operation being ; ope of book-keeping, and would not | be reflected in the daily figures or.export trade obtained at the grain 1 exchange.A market page review says today ! in part: \u2018\u2018There has for instance been1 very substantial buying of Cana- -dian wheat for Greek account.! Greece is now admitting Canadian wheat free of duty and at least seven cargoes have been bought quite recently, probably more than 3,000,00\u20ac bushels.Exporters who have in the past handled accounts for Greek buyers state that it is a customary practice for traders in that country to leave the hedges in the market after they have actually taken delivery of the wheat.They lift them only when the wheat ha- Been ground and the flour sold.Thus the seller of the wheat to a Greek buyer remains actually in a short position in the futures pit.often for a considerable period.\u201d Tokyo, Dee.17.\u2014Police figures on the fire yesterday in the Shirokiya department .store showed today that twelve persons Were killed, forty-eight seriously injured and about eighty slightly hurt.About seven hundred persons, most of them salesgirls, were trapped in upper floors of the building and in the panic a few of them jumped and were killed.Five army aeroplanes assisted in the rescue work by dropping rope ladders on the roof.BURY The altar in St.Paul\u2019s Church on Sunday last was decorated with pink and yellow chrysanthemums in loving memory of Adam Ross, who died a year ago.They were given by his wife, daughter and stepson.Modification of Volstead Act to Permit Manufacture and Sale of 3.2 Per Cent.Beer Has Been Approved.Washington, Dec.17____A vote in the United States House of Representatives on 3.2 beer before Christmas was definitely in prospect today as Democratic leaders formed their lines to insure its passage.The House ways and means.committee approved modification of the Volstead Act yesterday to permit the manufacture and sale of beer of 3.2 per cent, alcoholic content by weight, and chairman James Collier planned to introduce his revised measure today for a vote on Tuesday.Buy advertised goods.They must always give full value.Has Too Much Respect for Farmers and Others in His Province to Believe They Would Support Newly-Organized Co-operative Federation.Winnipeg,, Dec.17.\u2014The newly-organized Co-Operative Commonwealth Federation will never attain serious political proportions, Premier J.T.M.Anderson, of Saskatchewan, predicted last night in an address to the Winnipeg Conservative Club.\u201cThis party advances ideas similar to those popular in Russia,\u201d said Mr.Anderson.\u201cI have .o high a respect for the farmers and others in Saskatchewan to believe this party will ever be in power.\u201d DEATH SENTENCES IMPOSED ON TWO ONTARIO FARMERS Found Guilty of Having Murdered Twenty-Seven Year Old Farmhand, by Whose Death $10,900 Insurance Was Collected.L\u2019Orignal, Ont., Dec.17.\u2014Sentences of death were pronounced by Mr.Justice Patrick Kerwin on William J.Larocque, fifty-seven, and Emmanuel Lavictorie, fifty-one, for the murder last March of Leo Bergeron, twenty-seven year old!
