Hon.Dr.Baxter Scoffed at Idea of Government Subsidizing a Line of Steamships to Break Up Combine.(Associated Press Despatch) ST.JOHNS, N.B.Feb., 25.\u2014 Hon.Dr.J.B.M.Baxter,X.C.,M.P., St.John-Albert, addressing the Young Men\u2019s Conservative Club here last night, scoffed at the idea of the government subsidizing a line of steamship to be operated by Sir William Peterson for the purpose of breaking up the alleged North Atlantic Shipping combine.If such a combine did exist, it did no one any harm, he said, for the same ocean rate applied from New York as it did from St.John.The combine, he said, was the child of the brain of W.T.R.Preston, a Liberal organizer in Ontario, and was used to get votes.He predicted that if the scheme wen', through, then three years would see failure for Sir William Peterson and his line of ten steamships.When he wras discussing the attitude of the Liberal Conservative party with respect to the British preference, Dr.Baxter warned hi» hearers not to be surprised to find that when the Conservative party got into power they would i ut Canada and Canadian industries first and clip the wings of preference.In his opinion the British preference was not adjusted to the good of all, LATEST STANDING IN CHURCH UNION VOTING Seventy Churches in Quebec Province Have Voted in Favor of Joining United Church to Thirty-one Against.fAatociated Press Desnatch) TORONTO, Feb., 25.\u2014The following is the latest summary of the Church Union vote: For Against steel ] British Columbia and Yukon .196 Alberta .100 Saskatchewan .448 Ontario .425 Quebec .70 Nova Scotia .90 Prince Edward island 39 22 22 12 340 31 32 11 Totals .1,362\t470 UjS.FLAGSHIP AGROUND (Associated Press Despatch) MANILA, Feb.25.\u2014The United States ship Huron, flagship of the United States fleet in Asiatic waters, is aground off Malampaya Sound, Island of Palawan, two hundred miles southeast of Manila, a radiogram received here today said.lark Officials Are Preparing Military Operations Against Troublesome Kurd Details Regarding Outbreak in Kurdistan Have to Date Been Insufficient to Establish Whether a Serious Revolt Against Turkish Rule Is in Progress or Whether, as Officially Represented at Angora, the Trouble Is Merely Local.A.M.SANfiSTER RE-ELECTED MEAD OF THE BOARD OFTRADE: REPORTS PRESENTED AT MEETING LAST NIGHT L , 111\t llllil\t \u2022' < .\u2019\u2022\u2022\u2022 ¦ V o ~\t& _ £r Queenie Thomas, who has been delighting stage audiences in London with her beauty, plans to come to America if she can get a contract.London critics call her the most beautiful English actress.Presented A \" ' Simpler Church Union Bill To Quebec Committee - Quite Likely Several Amendments Will Be Offered A.E.Bernard Re-elected Vice-President and E.C.Gatien Succeeds J.K.Edwards as Secretary-Treasurer\u2014Glowing Tribute Paid to Work Done by Mr.Edwards\u2014 Annuil Report of Hon.Secretary-Treasurer and Financial Statement Presented\u2014President Gives Resume of Past Year\u2019s Work\u2014Question of Appointing Committee Caused Some Discussion\u2014Finally Agreed to Have Committee Consist of Ten Members\u2014Considerable Discussion Brought Out Regarding Accidents at Railway Crossings\u2014Auto Traffic and Motor Laws Also Came in for Share of Discussion.Situation as to Whether or Not Church Bill Is to Be Passed; However, Is Not in Any Way Changfed by Bill Being Redrafted and Shortened\u2014Opposition Presented More Specific Motion for Inquiry into Liquor Commission.(A»»ocialcd Pro*» Despatch) ONDON, Feb., 25.\u2014 Details regarding the outbreak in Kurdistan reported from and has jurisdiction over property.\t,\t,\tr and civil rights within the pro- !
