Convention Today\u2014Baldwin, in Stanstead, Refers Only Briefly to Customs Scandals\u2014Present Line-Up in Eastern Townships\u2014Other Nominations Reported.THE Sherbrooke political situation was cleared up to some extent through the announcement of Mr.F.N.McCfea, as given in the Record, that he would not enter the field in Sherbrooke.For some days past it had been generally expected that the former member would come out'as an Independent Protectionist.In this event, his candidature would have been backed by the Conservative organization.Mr.McCrea\u2019s decision leaves the way open for a straight party fight.The Record is advised that the party convention will be called very shortly.In the meantime, the question of candidate is being discussed.An old name in the party counsels, but new among the list of candidate possibilities, came to the fore yesterday when Dr.George Hume was freely mentioned as probable standard bearer.It is possible that several names may go before the convention.Mr.W.H.Lynch, K.C., is still a possibility.The name of Alderman Langis is mentioned in some quarters.That the constituency will be contested is taken for granted.Members of the party executive were in conference witht Dr.Hume yesterday afternoon and evening.It is understood today, however, that the doctor is very reluctant to enter the field.Mr.Forest Houlahan, president of the Conservative Association, is in Montreal today discussing the situation with party chiefs there.In the meantime, the Liberals are going ahead with their organization and preparing for their big rally on Monday evening next, when the party leader, Hon.W.L.Mackenzie King, will be here.The meeting is to be held in the 54th Armory in the evening.The Eastern Townships line up at present stands as follows: Compton\u2014Samuel Gobeil, Conservative; J.E.Letellier, Liberal.Stanstead\u2014W.K.Baldwin, Liberal.Sherbrooke\u2014Charles B.Howard, Liberal.Megantic- E.Roberge, K.C., Liberal; Narcisse

Portage and Brandon which returned Right Hon.Arthur Meighen and Robert Forke to parliament last year, Right, Hon.Mackenzie Lyon King held meetings today.In Portage La Prairie, Mr.King spoke of \u201cthe courtesies of public life,\u201d in thanking Mayor Burns for the welcome extended to him.Tne mayor of the city, Mr.King pointed out, was president of the local Conservative organization.The Liberal leader mentioned Premier Meighen\u2019s splendid abilities in many directions.It was to be wondered at how one, so gifted, could take such \u201cshortsighted actions, completely surver-sive to the public interest.\u2019\u2019 No matter how much personal regard ele -tors might have for Mr.Meighen they were called upon to vote on questions of policy affecting Canada as a whole.Mr.King, spanking in the interests of Mr.Meighen\u2019s Liberal opponent, E.A.McPherson, single1 out the old age pension legislation as the basis for an attack on Conservative policy.Th Liberal government\u2019s old age pension bill had been opposed by Conservatives on a pretext.\u201cI notice that Mr.Meighen is finding that C people do not approve of his attitude on old a g pensions,\u201d he said, adding that the Liberal party intended to stand by its old age pension programme which had been killdc by the Tori.-s in the Senate last session.Mr.Mcighen\u2019s scheme of calling a conference of the province in order tc get old age pensions was simply one means of absolutely defeating the whole thing.Whar.was needed was a concrete scheme such as the late government had introduced.At the outset of the Brandon meeting with Mr.Forke on the platform, Mr.King made \u201ca public acknowledgement of the constant, loyal and unfailing support of the members of the Progressive, partv in carrying out the work of parliament.\u201d It would have been impossible for anyonq to carry on in the last parliament without co-operation.It might have been possible for the Liberals and Conservatives to cooperate, \u201cand it was not due to the fact that overtures were not made,\u201d said Mr.King.Overtures had bean made to members of the Liberal party.Mr.King declared that it had been said that in the interests of (Continued on page 11) MR.AGAIN DEFINES RY.ATTITUDE (Associated Press Despatch) BLUE RIVER, B.C., Aug.19.\u2014 Despite drenching rain, railway workers were gathered on the platform when Premier Meighen arrived yesterday.The premier strongly emphasized in a few minutes\u2019 speech that he had no intention of amalgamating the Canadian National Railway with the Canadian Pacific Railway.\u201cI do not know,\u201d he said, \u201chow it is, but the malicious falsehood that I have murderous designs against the Canadian National is harder to down than any other.A more vile falsehood,\u201d added Mr.Meighen, \u201cnever was circulated among honest people than to say that I propose to amalgamate the two systems.It is just an effort to steal votes by frightening employees of Canadian National.\u201cCanada for Canadians,\u201d he said, \u201cis the aim of the fiscal policy of the.Conservative party.\u201d ROBERT FORKE AT KING RALLY, BRANDON, MAN.BRANDON, Man., Aug., 19.\u2014 (Canadian Press)\u2014Speaking from the same platform as the leader of the Liberal party last night Robert Forke decalred that if Mr.Meighen had endeavored to form a real ministry instead of a temporary one, the Progressives would have seen the legislation through to the end.Even Sir Henry Drayton could not find adequate terms to describe the provisional government and a condition arose which was intolerable.The closing of parliament by Mr.Meighen was the act of a Mussolini.\u201cIt was an insult to the peo pie of Canada.It was sharp prac tice.If you are satisfied with that kind of thing I am not\u201d, said Mr Forke.Of the Liberal-Progressive cooperation there was nothing clandestine, secret or dishonorable.\u201cThe government lived loyally up to its promises and gave us the legislation promised early in the session.There was nothing for us to do but live up to our part of the agreement.\u201d Mr.Forke criticized Premier Meighen\u2019s position on freight, rates.The Crow\u2019s Nest rates had saved (Continued on page 11).BALDWIN, NICOL AND HOWARD AT AYER\u2019S CLIFF Liberal Candidate Refers Briefly to Customs Inquiry in Which His County Figured\u2014Says There Are Scandals in Other Party, But Too Bad to Mention.AYER\u2019S CLIFF, Aug.19.(Special\u2014Mr.W.K.Baldwin, of Baldwin\u2019s Mills, member of the House of Commons for Stanstead since 1911, was once more endorsed by a Liberal convention to carry the banner of his party in the general elei-tion to be held next month, when delegates from all sections of the county gathered here yesterday .f-ternoon to make their selection.Mr.Baldwin\u2019s choice was unanimous, and the ex-member declared that he would accept the honor despite the rumors circulated that h,e was through wkh politics.When delegates and the public assembled in the county building under the chairmanship of the member for Stanstead in the Legislative Assembly, Mr.A.J.Bissonette, the name of W.K.Baldwin was the only one proposed, his nomination being moved by R.H.Cooley, of Coaticook, seconded by A.F.X.De-seve, of Magog.Acclaimed as the Liberal candidate, Mr.Baldwin signified his intention of running once more.In a brief address in English, the candidate voiced his objection to the campaign being waged by the Conservatives against Boivin, Lapointe and Bureau, and especially the disproved charges laid by Stevens and Doucet.Mr.Baldwin declared he could tell of scandals in connection with the present Meighen cabinet, but would not do so, owing to their nefarious nature\u2014although he mentioned as a type that Hon.Mr.Black, Minister of Railways, had sailed his ships in the Great War under the Norwegian flag.As to the reason for asking the return to power of j the Liberal party, Mr.Baldwin pointed to the return to par of the Canadian dollar, the reduction of taxation and debt, and the increase of the output of the automobile factories as a result of their reduced prices, all of which had been accomplished since 1921.Business, Not Patriotism, Says Mr.Nicol Hon.Jacob Nicol, Provincial Treasurer, reminded the audience that Hon.E.L.Patenaude had said in the last campaign that the farmers were being starved for want of markets.\u201cBut Canada is now the largest exporting nation per capita in the world,\u201d he continued.\u201cIs that because we have no markets, or because we have markets?The two greatest articles of export from Canada are wheat and lumber and its products, and since the Liberals came into power in 1921 the export of wheat and pulpwood has gone up by leaps and bounds.\u201d Mr.Nicol referred to the Liberals as the party which talks businecs and not patriotism, and to the Conservatives as that which wrapped itself up in the British flag and talked of nothing but patriotism.Thus he would speak on business only, and referred to the report of the Royal Bank of Canada for his figures.In that book it was shown that every year the Conservatives had been in power since ¦Confederation, the per capita debt had risen, while every time the Liberals had administered affairs, the debt had decreased.The Provincial Treasurer likened the Customs Department to the best managed banks and merchant houses, where some men always \u201cgo wrong\u201d despite the most careful supervision.Hon.Mr.Stevens, by making such a fuss in public over the customs matter, had done infinite harm by warning the guilty ones of the investigation which had already been started by the King Government.Proud of Liberal Protestants Mr.E.W.Tobin, M.P.for Rich-mond-Wolfe for 26 years, poured ridicule on Mr.Patenaude, the man who had \u201cno chief, neither Meighen nor King, and who was to save the French-Canadians.\u201d The disproved Doucet charges and the insults of A.\tB.Nicholson against the civil service also came in for an attack.Mr.Tobin was proud of the stand taken by his confreres, such as Messrc.Howard and Baldwin, on the Alberta natural resources question, and the i determination to protect the Catholic minorities of the western province, as Sir Wilfird Laurier had originally done when forming the province.Introduced by the chairman as 'a Sherbrooke boy by birth but a Stanstead boy by heredity,\u201d Mr.Charles B.\tHoward, ex-M.P.for Sherbrooke, said, \u201cWe are asking the votes in the province of Quebec, and the other provinces of Canada not only jf Liberals but also of Conservatives because we have delivered the goods, (Continued on pago 11) GEORGES LEYGUES, Ex-Premier and prominent French politician.KŒNERŸARN PURE INVENTION, IT IS CHARGED Originators in Need of Publicity for Kitchener Film\u2014Coffin Story Exploded.(Auoeiated Presr Deicatck) LONDON, Aug., 19.\u2014The Daily Sketch today .prints over the signature of Singleton Gates a British newspaperman a long story bluntly stating that Gates invented the whole story of the discovery of Field Marshal Lord Kitchener\u2019s body in Norway in conjunction witn Frank Power, a British newspaper man.It was Power who announced that he had found Lord Kitchener\u2019s body and who brought -a ease to London supposed to contain the remains.Officials of the Home Office who opened the case said it was empty.Power contended that some one had tampered with the \u201cKitchener coffin\u201d.Gates asserts in his story that Power was interetsed in a moving picture entitled \u201cHow Kitchener was Betrayed\u201d, which was badly in need of publicity.He says the film was made as long ago as November, 1921, when it was shown privately in London to Lord Kitchener\u2019s sisters and several members of the House of Lords and the Commons, who, after seeing it, bitterly denounced it.The promoters of the film therefore decided to advertise it to the utmost and the alleged discovery of Kitchener\u2019s body was the invention to aid in the exploitation.TANGIER NOW THREATENING A REVOLT VALENTINO NOW LIKELY TO RECOVER (Associated Press Despatch) NEW YORK, Aug.19.\u2014Rudolph Valentino likely to recover, his physicians said last night.Rudolph Valentino, film sheik, appeared today to have pasesd the crisis of a dangerous illness that sent him to hospital on Sunday for a double operation.He awoke this morning after a refreshing sleep interrupted only once by a slight attack of heart burn.Telegrams, telephone calls, flowers and gifts continued to pour into the Polyclinic Hospital.Among the gifts were a number of bibles.One well wisher sent Valentino\u2019s physician a sandal wood box with three vials of differently colored \u201csacred oils\u201d which were guaranteed to bring about a speedy cure.PARIS-LONDON AIRSHIP WAS WRECKED Two Dead, Thirteen Critically Injured in Crash at Folkestone,

station at Croydon met disaster yesterday near Folkestone.Two of the passengers were killed and thirteen others are in a critical condition as the result of injuries.VETERANS WILL SEND LFITER TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING SITE OE SOLDIERS\u2019 MONUMENT British Warship Standing By\u2014 Native Population Incensed by Events.(Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, Aug.19.\u2014A despatch to the Daily Mail from Tangier, Morocco, confirms a report of yesterday that there is general discontent among the Spanish and native population.The despatch attributes the excitement partly to the flogging and otherwise torturing of native prisoners by the international police and partly to the declaration of General Primo de Rivera, the Spanish dictator in a Madrid newspaper that Tangier should be included in the Spanish zone in Morocco.The despatch says a British destroyer, the Splendid, was standing by at Tangier and that French warships were expected to arrive from Casablanca.Yesterday\u2019s report said General Primo de Rivera had offered to send Spanish troops to occupy Tangier to protect lives and property.It added that the general impression among the people of Tangier, excepting the French, was that something must be done immediately to givb the Spaniards influence in Tangier commensurate with their numbers.U.S.MAY BAR MAGAZINES WITH LIQUOR ADVTS.NEW YORK.Aug.19.\u2014All foreign

Voiced to King Street Site\u2014Think Views of Relatives of Men Who Are to Be Honored Should Prevail\u2014Council Willi Be Asked to Reconsider.A LARGE number of returned' men met last night under the presidency of Mr.P.D.Mathias, and once again the site for Sherbrooke\u2019s war monument was discussed.It was called to the attention of the meeting that the City Council had selected and decided upon the lower end of the upper grass plot on King Street for the monument in, preference to Strathcona Square.The three sites which had been thought* of for the monument, namely, the upper and lower green plots on Kingj Street and IStrathcona Square, were considered, but the meeting was unanimous in their choice of Strathcona Square.After the situation was discussed at some length, it was unanimously' decided that a petition, in the form of a letter, be sent to the City Council asking that the site already selected be reconsidered, and that the monument be placed in Strathcona Square.The letter which was forwarded to the Council read as follows: \u201cAt a meeting of returned men held last night, it was unanimously decided to beg of you to reconsider the site selected for the erection of Sherbrooke\u2019s monument and to have this tribute to Sherbrooke\u2019s glorious dead placed in Strathcona Square rather than on King Street, as has been decided upon.It was, also, moved that the parents and near relatives of those who laid down their lives and whose names are to be inscribed upon the monument, should be consulted and have an opportunity of expressing an opinion as to the location of the monument.Their dear ones willingly gave their lives that you and I might live and we feel that the least that can be done for those they left behind is to give them an opportunity of selecting the site for the monument so that when it is erected they will have an opportunity of quietly sitting near it and thinking of their dead for whom it stands.\u201d INVESTIGATION BEGUN INTO TRAGEDY (Associated Press Despatch) I1 OLKESTONE, Eng., Aug., 19.\u2014The Air Ministry today began an investigation of the crash of the French cross-Channel airplane at Abingdon, Kent., yesterday, which caused the deaths of two passenger's and the pilot and the injury of eleven passengers and the mechanician.The accident was the most serious passenger aeroplane tragedy that England has ever experienced.It occurred when the plane collided with a barn while making a forced landing during a heavy fog.Robert Blaney, of Boston, Mass., who has been travelling in Europe since he was graduated from Harvard this year, and Vigorizzi, prominently known as the manager of London\u2019s noted Ambassador Club were killed outright.The latter had been on a short visit to Paris.Many of the victims suffered broken limbs in addition to severe* lacerations.Only two persons escap-| ed serious injury, being merely: bruised and shaken up.One is said to be Lord Norreys, grandson of the Earl of Abingdon.The disaster occurred during a misty rain, which had compelled the pilot to fly low across the Channel and which obscured the land from the view of pilot De Lisle.Nine of the injured are in the Royal Victoria Hospital, Folkestone and four are in the Bevan Nursing Home, Sandgate.Seven residents of the United States, five of them women, were among the injured.PROGRESS OF HALL MURDER CASE

episcopate that a conference be held for the adjustment of the present religious controversy.At the same time, the episcopate for the first time since the religious difficulties arose, if not the first time in Mexican history, has addressed a direct petition bo the president of the republic.The episcopate sent a letter te President Galles asking him to suspend the regulations to give the church its \u201cfreedom,\u201d and to rnodity the religious clauses of the constitution\u2014radically, declaring that only thus can be settled the old religious struggle, which has hurt Mexico sc much.The business men in their letter; to the president say they are only seeking peace and prosperity ir Mexico in proposing the conference between the government and the episcopate.The government has said it wa; not concerning itself with the creed; of the Catholic Church, the lettei read, while the church says it is ready to obey the law if the government regulations are only admin-iiterative measures and do not affect religious discipline.Therefort it should be pews bile to reconcik these attitudes.The president\u2019s office so far ha; declined official comment on these proposals for peace, but sources close to the government express the cer.tainty that President Galles will nol alter his past attitude.¦Church dignitaries, however, say that the church cannot live umdei such regulation.Thus, unless President Galles should completely reverse himself which many would regard as little less than a miracle, most observers feel that the episcopate\u2019s letter will be unable tc alter the fundamental deadlock.THE WEATHER ?* *, + \u2022! + + ?**** 4-\u2022t-*****\u2018fr Delaherche pottery.He is an old man with n THE MONUMENT SITE long white beard who lives at Armentiftres
