liquor business, or recognize its permanency or the indefinite continuance of the licensing system.In another resolution the gathering expressed approval of the stand taken by Col.the Hon.Sam Hughes in respect to the use of liquor by the militia, and noted with satisfaction that its use is not to be sanctioned by the Minister of Militia during his term of office.-4- SIR ARCHIBALD DOUGLAS DEAD

BORDEN.London, March 13.\u2014The Daily Telegraph this morn ng, commenting upon the attacks that have been made upon Winston Churchill and the Admiralty document, says: \u201cSurely there is nothing to justify such language as that used by the Hon.H.R.Emerson.They are wild words of an angry man.We deplore any suggestion that there has been interference by an imperial minister in the affairs of the Dominion.The closest examination will, we are convinced, show that the pavai authorities in London, when directly questioned by an official exponent of Canadian opinion, and policy, could not in politeness refuse to show the same courtesy to Premier Borden as that which they are willing to extend to all Dominion ministers, including Sir Wilfrid Laurier himself when he was in office.The bare idea of interference with the politics of the Dominions, who received their autonomous powers from the throne voluntarily and without reserve, is entirely foreign to British opinion.We trust, with some confidence, that any feeling of soreness which may he entertained by the Canadian Liberals at the present moment will speedily be removed by a more complete knowledge of all the issues involved.\u201d The Daily News, which favors Laur-ier's naval policy, says: \u201cThe moral to be drawn from the attack on Churchill is a moral familiar to our readers.We have insisted throughout the discussion in regard to the Canadian naval problem, that the first duty of this country is to avoid any appearance of dictating the lines of Canadian policy.Churchill, of course, had no intention of interference in penning his memorandum.He gave his view simply as an expression of opinion in the course of negotiations with Mr.Borden, but the reception given to it by the Opposition is a reminder of the elementary lesson which we ought to keep constantly in mind in our relations with self-governing dominions.Churchill\u2019s advice is probably sound from a naval standpoint.\u201d The Daily Express describes the whole thing as a party manoeuvre and characterizes the \u201cfurious crusade\u201d against Churchill as absurd.\"Borden on behalf of the Canadian Government, asked advice as to the most effective means of helping the Empire\u2019s defence.The Admiralty document was the answer, and to twist it into an interference is mischievous falsification.\u201d YEARS OF PEACE Plans Being Made to Commemorate Event Between British and America IN MILITANT TACTICS TO BEC0N1UED Two Suffragette Meetings Broken up by Opponents Of Cause BACK OF PLATFORM BESPATTERED BY EGGS AT ONE OF THE MEETINGS.London, March 13.\u2014The condition of Mrs.Emmeline Pankhurst, the suffragette leader, is still causing some concern.She was announced as one of the speakers at a meeting at Kensington last night, but the chairman explained that she was unable to come, although she was not seriously ill.The speakers declared the militant tactics would he continued, Miss Brackenburg saying that if they could not get the vote by ladylike means they must get it by any means in their power.Two suffragette meetings last night, one at Edenbridge, Kent, and the other at Radlett, Herefordshire, were broken up by opponents of the cause.At Edenbridge the wall behind the platform was bespattered by a fussil-lade of eggs.The platform was stormed and the police were called out to restore order.The Government has served a writ on Frederick Pethick Lawrence, joint editor with his wife of the publication \u201cVotes for Women,\u201d for the recovery of £608\t(?3,040), the unpaid balance in the conspiracy trial at Old Bailey last March.The sum of £306 was recovered by the sale of Lawrence\u2019s furniture and belongings last October.FRIEDMANN TELLS OF HIHREALMENf Told Canadian Tuberculosis Association

yesterday before the Canadian Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis his treatment for tuberculosis, the manner of its discovery and the precautions he took to insure its harmlessness.He said he had spent fourteen years in research work to find a tuberculine that was not toxic and virulent, and, having found it, tried it first of all on himself.He \u2019 discarded human tubercle bacilli, he said, after many experiments, because he feared the results were too dangerous.The end of his research came, he asserted, when he found a bacillus which originated in the cold-blooded animil\u2014the turtle\u2014which bacillus became a virulent and a toxic after fre-'quent transplantation.\u201cWhen this condition was reached,\u201d he said, \u201cI injected into myself, then into patients infected with tuberculosis, then into healthy children in tubercular surroundings.I have found the remedy invariably harmless.\u201d Adam Beck, president of the Association, in his opening address, asked that Dr.Friedmann he given full opportunity to prove Ins claims.\u201cEven if ho is not successful,\u201d Mr.Beck said, \u201che is working along scientific lines.\u201d TONG WAR HAS BROKENJHIT AGAIN Fourth Murder Reported Since Outbreak Last Sunday HON.It CMMl DEfEMDJ m Duty of British Admiralty To Furnish the Information LENGTH OF CONTINUED DEBATE ON THE NAVAL BILL HAS SMASHED ALL FURTHER RECORDS.Ottawa, March 13.\u2014 Mr.Borden in the House of Commons yesterday afternoon defended Hon.Winston Churchill.Mr.Borden held that his duty as prime minister was to get the information from the best possible source and in pursuance of that duty he had applied to the world\u2019s greatest authority on naval matters, the British Admiralty.It was not only the right, but also the duty of Mr.Churchill to give the information asked for in a full and impartial manner, as he had done.Mr.Borden declared that neither Mr.Churchill nor any other British statesman was concerned with the domestic politics of Canada, and he himself would deprecate any interference in such domestic affairs.Whatever wrath the Opposition might desire to vent should be visited upon his (Mr.Borden\u2019s) head and not that of the First Lord of the Admiralty, and laughingly the Premier added : \u201cI will even bear with a certain amount of philosophy and observations that they may wish to make.\u201d The debate on the naval bill, which at midnight last night had reached a total of 180 hours, had smashed all records for continuous talking in any legislative body in an English-speaking country.The present outlook is that the debate will continue day and night until Saturday at midnight again, with one possible break, likely to-day, when the Coderre charges will be brought up.It is not likely that there will be much debate on the charges and they will probably be referred to the committee on privileges and elections.As far as is known of the matter it is, if anything, a question for an election protest rather than for the making of charges in the House.The House is now growing quite accustomed to all night sittings and the various watches are taken as a matter of course by the members and the House employees who ha\u2019.\u2019e readilj bjicn into line with the new conditions.The novelt> of the situation has worn off and no.longer attracts the crowds of visitors who, for the first week, continuously filled the galleries.DHIMM HAS A RIVAL Dr.Richer of Montreal Says Canadian Has Better Serum SAYS THAT ANONYMOUS DOCTOR HAS SECURED BETTER RESULTS.Ottawa, Ont., March 13.\u2014Dr.F.F.Friedmann already has a rival.The German physician who clairru to have discovered a serum which cures tuberculosis and who demonstrated his method in Ottawa yesterday afternoon, has had his pretentions overshadowed by those of another, though anonymous investigator, to quote the statements of Dr.A.J.Richer, of Montreal, who is attached to the sanitarium at Ste.Agathe, Que., in an address delivered at a public meeting held in the Young Men's Christian Association by the Canadian Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis last night.That injustice to a medical man of twenty years\u2019 experience and undoubted repute, a man who had two years ago embarked on this particular phase of tuberculosis work and who had discovered a serum which had shown results on animals much more favorable than those of Dr.Friedmann\u2019s alleged cure and preliminary effeces on the treatment of the disease in human beings which were most encouraging, he could not refrain from making these results public, though he was not in a position to disclose the name of the man who had made them possible, was Dr.Richer\u2019s statement.Furthermore, he maintained, Dr.Friedmann's treatment was no new thing ; papers embracing all its claims had been delivered last year at an international medical congress and had not aroused any furore among the medical men in attendance.PROCEEDINGS QUIET.Ottawa, March 13.\u2014(Special)\u2014 The proceedings in the House this morning were of a quiet nature, barely a quorum being present, while spectators

denial.The Pictou member described the memorandum as a piece of gross impertinence and added : \u201cIt is the most impertinent intrusion on the rights of a free country which has occurred since the Old Land granted responsible government to the colonies.\u201d He declared that it was an interference with Parliament and a question which Canada alone had the right to decide.He said the memorandum consisted of gratuitous insults and inuendoes.Mr.Churchill had visited Canada once, he said, touring the country at so much per night, the employee of a lecture bureau ¦MAN FATHEN MHO CM Bound

evening.At 6.30 the members will sit down to a \u2019Ti-eef and Greens\u201d supper.Every member is invited to attend.LAST LENTEN LECTURE.Canon Shreve\u2019s last Lenten lecture on the History of the Church, last evening, began at the reign of James II.Several interesting pictures were thrown on the screen, illustrative of the taking to the Tower and the trial of the seven bishops who had presented a formal petition asking that James\u2019 declaration as to freedom of religion should not be read in their churches, men of the deepest loyalty and sincerity, who although they had been imprisoned by James, refused to take the oath of'allegiance to William and Mary, while James was still living.It was during, the reign of William ,and Mary that the Puritans of Scotland were granted the position of the Established Church of Scotland, by that tin»3 known as the Presbyterian Church.The reign of Queen Anne Dr.Shreve only spoke of briefly, and of the fund connected with her name, spoken of as Queen Anne\u2019s Bounty.During the days when Rome was dominant in England every bishop was obliged to give the \u201cfirst fruits\u201d of Ins income, the first year's salary, to Rome.Henry VIII.took this for himself, and .this was done by every succeeding sovereign until Queen AnnC, who thought it should be the property of the Church.So it was put into the hands of a commission to be compounded.This fund Queen Anne gave back for the simple reason that she did not think it belonged to her.The clergy in England do not get one penny from the State.In Queen Anne\u2019s time the Society for the.Promotion of Christian Knowledge was founded, which has grown so steadily and done such marvellous work.Pictures of the headquarters were shown and also of the Society for the Propogation of the Gospel, which was formed by Dr.Bray and some others after visiting this continent in 1700 and finding what opportunities there were in.a new country to extend the work and influence of the Church.The picture of the little church at Epworth.where John and Charles Wesley were baptized and confirmed, was interesting because of the career of these two men.While a student at Oxford John Wesley was horrified at the irréligion of the students and succeeded in forming a society which was called \u201cThe Holiness Club.\u201d John Wesley belonged to what was the \u201cHigh Church\u201d party of the day.Hc was so devout and attended so strictly to the services and feasts, or \u201cmethod\u201d of the Church, that hc was called in derision a \u201cMethodist.\u201d He took orders, but as be was a Fellow of Oxford was obliged to live there, and later on he spent his time going from place to place, preaching and exhorting.Four years after his death his entire body of followers, the Me thodists, left the English Church, and with their piety and fervor were a loss indeed.During the reigns of the first, second and third Georges, and William IV., the church was dead, and then there came what is known as the Catholic Revival, brought about by the infhience of John Kcble, author of \u201cThe Christian Year.\u201d Henry Newman, Edward Manning, Robert Wilberforce and Dr.Pusey, who started this great movement to get back the doctrines and ideas of the early Church.The first meeting of this \"Catholic Revival Chib\u201d was held at Oriole College.Oxford, and much was done to counteract the deadening effect of the Hanoverian regime, though in using this term the reign of our good Queen Victoria was naturally not included.In her great reign the Church has flourished both in England and through the known world.In concluding, Canon Shreve spoke of the Lambeth Conferences, held every ten years, showing n slide >>f the first conference, which was attended by 76 bishops, at the second 209, US ifflse OUT OF SiUiOFPIHin La Banque National vs J.D, Kennedy, Sherbrooke PLAINTIFF CLAIMS IMMOVEABLES WERE SOLD TO

by Mr.J.1).Kennedy of all his property, moveable and immoveable, to his cousin, Mr.Angus Kennedy, of Montreal.La Banque Nationale has a judgment against Mr.J.D.Kennedy, and is endeavoring to annul the sale.Tlie first witness called was Mr.Angus Kennedy, the purchaser of the property.He told of taking it over for $1(1',5001.He was closely questioned by Mr.Firmin Campbell, attorney for the plaintiff, as to the conditions surrounding the sale.Witness paid, according to his evidence, $2,000 down on one occasion, and $1,500 later.Be bought the property because Mr.J.D.Kennedy went to him and said he wanted money to pay his creditors.Witness came out from Montreal, looked the property over, and then bought.DEFENDANT A WITNESS.Mr.J.D.Kennedy was the next witness called.On June 25th, 1911, he considered he owed iLa Banque Nationale nothing.He admitted that the Bank had a mortgage of about $2,000 on his property, hut claimed that the Bank was protected by security.Hc also admitted having been sued by the Bank for $6,900-, hut contested the suit.Witness pleaded that the note held by the Bank was secured by about 49,000 shares of stock in the Gas and Oil Company.The defendant then said that lie went to his cousin and asked him to buy the property so he could pay up ali his debts.With the proceeds realized he paid up what he owed.VALUE OF PROPERTY.Mr.T.T.Delisle was then called.He gave as his opinion that the property in question was worth about $10,500.Mr.F.J.Griffith, secretary-treasurer of the Corporation of the City, swore that the properties in question are still entered on the valuation roll of the city in the name of J.D.Kennedy.PAID BACK LOAN.Mr.B.Cohen was called by Mr.Tracy, attorney for Mr.Kennedy.He swore that the defendant in the case had paid him back the sum of $200, the amount of an accommodation loan.DEFENDANT EXAMINED.He next called Mr.J.D.Kennedy himself.The total mortgage on the property was $8,445 at the time -it was sold.Angus Kennedy gave him $2,500 in cash and two notes of $500 each.The purchaser then went to the bank and signed a bond of $1,000 as security so as to -enable witness to discount notes, which was necessary in the insurance business.He ordered the bank to sell the stock they held as security against his note.The bank did not do this, and as a result be lost $15,000.He has paid rent on the property since he sold.He paid out every cent he got from Angus Kennedy to pay his creditors.The Court adjourned until 2 o\u2019clock.Canada.Province of Quebec, District of St.Francia.No.1(13.- HUPËltlOlt COURT Under the Winding Up

Charles La-bonte, representing the Canad an Bank of Commerce there, and A.E.Lavoie, of Montreal, representing the St.Lawrence Flour Mills Co.A HORSE CASE.The last case tried here, before the Superior Court, was about a horse swap, between two young sports who met at the last Waterloo Fair, in September last, and undertook to show their knowledge of horse flesh.One young man from Roxton Pond, thought he had been too badly beaten, by getting a mare which nad the heaves and was balky, and for which he had given a horse which was big in appearance, but was peculiarly shod.It turned out that there was a reason for that, the horse hav i.g a cancer in the foot.Tb sum up the whole thing, it might be oaid that both horses.were worth very little.At the same time Justice had to decide between them.That explains why, last Friday, in the midst of the worst storm of the seasqn, about a dozen witnesses from all over the county of Shefford travelled to Sweetsburg, to pass a good part of the day in disentangling the difficulty.After the lawyers had done their best, and the officers of the Court had been kept busy, the Judge took a short cut to come to a result, and from the Bench dismissed the action, both parties paying their own costs.The side judges of the village thought they were witnessing another session of Solomon\u2019s sittings, when they had just come to see a scrape between horse jockeys.They went away satisf ed that they had never better employed an afternoon of stormy weather.CHOINIERE VS.THE CORPORATION OF THF VILLAGE OF GRANBY.The action was for a small amount, $20, but involved several important principles.It arose out of the loss of a load of hay, which was hauled along Main Street, in the Village of Granby, and which caught fire, from some heaps of leaves and refuse which were being burned alongside the street by some citizens.There was no particular proof that this particular fire was burned by employees of the Corporation, as was their wont; even there exists a by-law which forbids to make any fires in the streets or the squares within the municipality.In this particular instance, this load had just been weighed in the Corporation yard, on the public scales, and was but a short distance from the Town Hall when it was so burned.The officers of the Corporation carried away the rack of the waggon which was badly damaged, and finally disposed of it to a third party.Although the owner of the hay did not make a claim during his lifetime, his heirs did so within two years of the accident.The regular prescription is one or two years, and the six months\u2019 prescription invoked by the Corporation defendant docs not apply to it, but to certain town municipalities.On the whole, plaintiffs are entitled to judgment, which, accordingly, goes in their favor.RUITER VB.SINGER MANUFACTURING CO.The action arose out of the seizure of a shoemaker\u2019s sewing machine, made and taken by a land lord of a house in the Village of Cowansville, for the security, and payment of his rent.The Singer Sewing Machine Company opposed this seizure on the ground that it owned this machine which had only been rented to .he tenant in question by a written contract.The Plaintiff answered that no notice had been given him of the fact, but the Company replied that there was no necessity, because this machine was exempt from seizure, the tenant being a shoemaker and although he had gone and left the country abruptly, the Company had a right, and invoked the tenant\u2019s own rights.The opposition was dismissed and the seizure mainta ned on divers grounds.No notice had been given the said Plaintiff; the tenant, one Woodman, was not a regular shoemaker, but worked at that trade only at times of leisure, he earning bis livelihood otherwise; moreover, he is not working at this trade nt all at the present time, having gone definitely and forever; and lastly, the right of exemption was a*personal one, which could not be exercised by any one else but the tenant.NEW DEPUTY PROTHONOTARY Mr.Tranchemontagne, the new deputy prothonotary, has arrived to fulfil his functions.Ü Mr.W.W.Paige, Compton Village, The New Warden NAULT & LACROIX, 17 and 17à King Street.FIRST MEETING SINCE THE ELECTION OF NEW COUNCIL.The quarterly meeting of the Sherbrooke County Council was held yesterday, at which were present the following mayors of the different municipalities : W.W.Paige, Compton Village;
