[" Sherbrooke Daily Record Established 189^.SHERBROOKE, QUE., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1921.Twenty-fifth Year A CONF£R£HCE IS SUGGESTED BY LLOYD GEORGE Many Hold-Ups In This District-Good Crowds At Fairs DOOR TO PEACE MS BEEN LEFT WIDE OPEN BY BRITISH CMNET; STATED THAT LLOYD GEORGE INVITED Sir!.: IN LEADERS TO A CONFERENCE The British Cabinet Has Invited Mr.De Valera to Send Delegates to a Conference with the Cabinet Ministers at Inverness on September 20, According to the Daily Mail\u2019s Inverness Correspondent\u2014Only One Condition Is Imposed, that Ireland Must Remain within the Empire, It Is Stated.%%%\u2022%>\t«s####*» yf( PLACES THE BLAME ON UNITED STATES.LONDON, September 8.\u2014Reports that the message sent to the Republican leaders following the meeting of the British Cabinet at Inverness, yesterday, was an invitation to Eamonn De Valera to send delegates to a conference to be held on September 20th, on condition that Ireland should remain within the Empire, were printed by several newspapers here today.These newspapers, which comment editorially upon these reports, express satisfaction that the door to peace has been left open.\u201cThe Government has given.the Sinn Fein leader another chance to retrieve the prospect which his blunders, and those of the Dail Eireann had so gravely compromised,\u201d said the Chronicle, while the Daily Telegraph remarked: \u201cIf this indication of the contents' of the Cabinet\u2019s letter is accurate, the admirable patience with which Mr.Lloyd George has followed his purpose ie still maintained, despite, the daily stream of provocative and injurious language which appears to be thought wise and timely by the Sinn Fein leaders.\u201d The Daily Mail considers the invitation to a conference \u201cbusiness like,\u201d and declared it pointed to the finality that Ireland is offered the real thing and the best thing the British Empire has to give.SIGNS OF CONFIDENCE AGAIN APPARENT IN SINN FEIN RANKS (Associated Press Despatch) DUBLIN, Sept.8.\u2014Signs of confidence and good spirits were again apparent among the Sinn Fein leaders at the Mansion House here this morning.They have received knowledge of the contents of Premier Lloyd George\u2019s reply to Eamonn De Valera, which will be made public here this evening at the same time that the note is given out by the British.So far as could be judged, the Irish leaders were not disturbed or surprised by Mr.Lloyd George\u2019s communication.The Sinn P'ein leaders have been showing some irritation at what they call misrepresentations in the British and United States press in their position in the negotiations.The elaborate arguments in their notes and in their \u201cIrish Bulletin,\u201d they declare were not intended to convey the impression that they had rejected dominion status and insisted on separation.Their willingness to enter the British Commonwealth on satisfactory terms they say they consider to have been plainly indicated.The substitution of direct verbal arguments, face to face with the British ministers, for exchanges of notes would be welcomed, the Sinn Fein leaders declare.* * * * * * *

application of mandates by the League of Nations were made by Lord Robert Cecil, representative for South Africa, at tqday\u2019s session of the Assembly of the League, which took up a general

De Valera is well on its way to Dublin.Members of the Cabinet who attended yesterday\u2019s meeting have split -up in\u2018different directions pending receipt of the Irish leader\u2019s rejoinder.Lord Birkenhead, Austen Chamberlain, Thomas .T.McNamara, Stanley Baldwin and Sir Alfred Mond returned to London last night and ethers went to Brahan Castle with Mr.Lloyd George, expecting to disperse today to different Scotch resots.THE SINN FEINERS ARE (Associated Press Despatch) BELFAST, Sept.8\u2014Private H obson, of the Essex Regiment, was k dnapped at Bandon, County Cork, yîsterday,

shortage at the local branch of the Royal Bank, which was discovered at the time of the disappearance of the manager, Mr.J.M.Phelan, consists largely, if not entirely, of negotiable securities.A large part of this, it is said, is made up of Victory Bonds.These securities- had been deposited at the bank as collateral security in connection with loans.Where the individual took the manager\u2019s receipt at the time of depositing the bonds he is able to readily establish his claim and where the entry in the bank\u2019s books corres-j ponds with the individual\u2019s claim the I situation is very clear.(Special to the Record) tCHMOND, Sept.8.\u2014This is fair week.The whole town is at the grounds and everybody is entering into the spirit of the oc-i casion.Wednesday dawned fine and p ii x i clear and there was a good first 11 day.There was the usual crowd, and with a second such day the directors should be satisfied.The one unavoidable draw back is the lack of water, it being necessary to have water drawn to the grounds in wagons.A change was made this year, in that the School Fair is held in conjunction with the larger fair.Certain changes that have been made in the management of the school fair are certainly not an improvement.The exhibit of the children this year, being good and most creditable, is not up to the average of other years, when the fair was run under the management of Macdonald College.The exhibit this year on the whole is up to the average.There is a good show of pupmkins and squash, but the vegetable show is smaller than was seen in former years.There are some splendid individual exhibits Painted by Government Wit- nesses.?4, + + + + t.4* 4.4.4.4.FAIR AND COOLER Local showers have occurred in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia, while from Manitoba to New Brunswick the weather has been fine.Moderate wind», fair and cooler today and on Friday, where the individual failed to take a receipt and where the book entry doe3 not show the deposit of collateral claimed.A very different problem thus develops, in the indiv-! idual\u2019s effort to establish his claim Hon.Mr.Taft Says Actual Condi-' One case ha?come to light of a lions Are

understood indicates that the removal of bonds had been going on for months.The stock market hag been acting badly since last spring and sudden declines called for quick and frequent moves on the part of a man who might be playing the market.It is generally believed that this explains the difficulties which developed.In the meantime search for the banker who dropped out of sight so suddenly goes on, probably extending over a territory from the Panama Canal to the Klondike.Bonding companies go far afield for their clients who drop out of sight and leave unexplained situations behind them.Cases have developed, however, |of certain vegetables and fruits, how- (Associated Press Despatch) OTTAWA, Sept.8.\u2014Hon.W.IT.Taft, representing the Grand Trunk shareholders on the Board of Arbitration, dissented from the majority report handed down by the Board, on the grounds that actual jconditions on the Grand Trunk and BLAMED FOR KIDNAPPING subsidiary lines were not so black as ______ j they had been painted by Government witnesses.He fixed no value for the stock.It is expected that the company will appeal the Board's decision.The Board of Arbitration decided, by a majority ruling, that the common and preference stocks of the Grand Trunk Railway were worth nothing.The Board was appointed to determine the value, if any, of such stock, and the price at which it was to be acquired by the Government in taking over the road.The stock has a par value of 87,073,492 pounds.The majority ruling was rendered by Sir Walter Cassels, the ehairnmij.of the Board, and Sir Tho.nas White, arbitrator for the Government.In rendering judgment, Sir Thos.White, arbitrator for the Government, said that down to December 31st, 1917, the Grand Trunk system according to its books of accounts, were making profits of varying amounts annually available for dividends.From the end of 1917 down to December, 1920, very heavy annual deficits were incurred.Notwithstanding the increases in traffic rates which were authorized last autumn, the returns for the present year dislosed a heavy deficit.The net loss from January 1st, 1920, to the end of April, 1921, was over five million dollars.As against the increased traffic rates, the higher wages scale which went into effect early last year and the decrease in traffic owing to trade depression following the war had proven more than an offset.ty-third annual exhibition of Compton County Agricultural Society, No.2, one of the most successful for years.All roads leading to Scotstown gave evidence, early yesterday morning, that it was to be \u201cFair\u201d day in every sense of the word.Autos, teams and pedestrians wended their way to the fairgrounds, and at noon a record breaker crowd had passed through the gates.Officials and executives were busy welcoming early visitors, and \u201csetting the house in order\u201d for the big two days event, while pleasure seekers lost no time in seeking devious ways to enj.dy themselves and to spend money, which is always one of the most, important features of a Fair.Some of the exhibits were a little slow in coming in, but quite early in the day the judges- got down to business, and the general verdict was \u201ca good showing in all sections.\u201d The live stock enteries were a little light, but what was lacking in quantity was more than made up in qual-(Continued on page 8.)

Press Despatch) LONDON, Sept.8.\u2014Reuter\u2019s Melbourne correspondent cables that the parliament of the State of Victoria met yesterday, but that a test vote to show the strength of the Government is not expected before September 13th.The Farmers party, holding twelve seats, have announced their determination to fight for continuance of the wheat pool, which the Goverment is about to abandon.The fate of the Government therefore hinges on the attitude, which the Labor faction will adopt.Labor has twenty ever.The women\u2019s department appears to be smaller than usual.There are not as many flowers and the show of fancy work is smaller.The cattle show and show of other farm animals is large and up to the usual standard if not better.The \u201cMidway\u201d is composed of the usual stunts of physical tests in ringing the bell and thus securing a cigar of doubtful vintage.The game of nine pins and hitting the kizer for similar cigars îs also there, some of Which are promoted by local talent.Everybody wants a doll and the stand was well patronized.RACES WERE OF HIGH ORDER The chief attraction of the afternoon was the races conducted by the Richmond Driving Club.The track was fast and in good condition.The) judges were up to the mark and the races were run off in good time.The results of the afternoon\u2019s races were as follows: Green race, purse $75.Roan Reed, C.O.Baker

appear to be at work in Sherbrooke and vicinity, and several successful efforts to stop pedestrians and relieve them of their money and house-breaking have been reported.Late at night Gedeon Guimard, of Danville, was found dazed and bleeding on the Lennoxville road, just south of the car barns.He was found by one of the employees of the Sherbrooke Street Railway and brought to Sherbrooke for treatment.According to the victim\u2019s story, he had arrived from Danville intending to purchase a suit of clothes and other wearing apparel.During the course of the day he met a couple of strangers and had a few drinks with them.He told the strangers that he intended to purchase some clothes, and they immediately told him they knew where he could get good clothes at a cheap price.According to Guimard, the strangers led him out to the Lennoxville road and attacked him, one of the men striking him on the head.Whe: he recovered, he found that he had been robbed of his money, amounting to $185.Another bold hold-up was carried out at Stoke, where Emile Beaudreau and his wife were confronted by three masked men.Beaudreau and his wife had just returned to their home from Sherbrooke, where they had been selling goods, and marched Beaudreau into the houst and ordered Mrs.Beaudreau to hold up her hands.The latter, however, having heard the men approaching, had hidden her husband\u2019s roll of bills so well that the hold-up men failed to discover the money, and finally disappeaed.Hold-up Near Moulton Hill Reports have been brought to town of à hold-up near Moulton Hill, to the east of Lennoxville.An Old Countryman who was employed on a farm in the neighborhood was seized and 'gagged, then bound and left by the roadside.A small sum of money which he had was taken.Several house robberies have also of late been reported to the police, while money placed in milk bottles by housewives has been disappearing with great regularity in some districts in the city.Mr.C.Orner Biron, 67 Bowen Avenue South, on entering his home a few days ago, found that it had been rifled by robbers.The robbers got away with some $55 in cash and Mr.Biron\u2019s watch.The robbers made their entrance into the house by the kitchen door.Burglar\u2019s Kit Found A party in Lennoxville reports finding in his back yard a well-, equipped burglar\u2019s kit, with all equipment for opening doors and
