The Saguenay Printers\u2019 Syndicate and Mr, Lapainte contested the plaintiff's action with a plea alleging the truth of the declarations made and public interest.Hon.Judge Tourigny presided the we.The evidence lasted about ten days and the case was taken en delibere during the holidays of the summer of 1909 with the consent of both parties.Judgment was rendered on the 15th of March, 1910, by the Hon.Judge Tourigny, maintaining the plaintiff's setion for $75.00 in each case with all tosts.By the same judgment, the plaintiff was given a further amount of $30.00 in each action on two incidental demands based on defendants\u2019 pleas\u2019 with also the costs of these incidental demands.It befell also that the same Judge Toutigny presided in the action to an- pul the election of Mr.Joseph Girard.In the course of the spring and sum- Wer of 1909 he judged several motions @nd finally the defendants\u2019 preliminary objections which he dismissed., The above statements were, in our opinion, absolutely necessary to render clear the nature of the facts which we shall now expose and to well establish their real meaning and significance.Mr, Lapointe, advocate, of Chicoutimi, was one of the attorneys for the petitioners against Mr.Girard; he was one of the defendants and the attorney for all the defendants in the actions of Mr.J.C.Tache vs.The Saguenay Printets\u2019 Syndicate and others.1 First Attempt :\u2014During the month UNSWEETENED nul the of August, 1909, at a time when the zc.tions of J.C.Tache vs.Simon Lapointe and The Saguenay Printers\u2019 Syndicate were in delibere or about to be taken in delibere by Hon.Judge Tourigny, one of the latter's friends, Dr.J.H.Palardy, came to see the defendant, Simon Lapointe, and declared that he had been instructed by Judge Tourigny to make proposals to him to settle the pending actions, including the contestation of the clec- tion of Mr.Girard.Dr.Palardy declared that Judge Tourigny had promised to find a third party to settle this matter and that this third party would be Hon.Jacques Bureau or Hom.Semstor Choquette.A aN : (Séé Dr.Palardy'e declaration.) Mr.Lapointe refused to contider this proposition and instructed Dr.Palardy to inform the interested parties.About the same date Hon.Judge Tourigny met at Tadoussc Mr.J.Elzear Savard, advocate and counsel for Mr.Lapointe, and aeclared that these law suits had to be settled.(See J.Elzear Savard's declaration.) Sécond Attempt :\u2014The best way to relate the facts of this attempt is to cite the words of Mr.Agesilas Lepage, merchant, of Bagotville, in his solemn declaration dated March 31st, 1910, which reads as follows : \u201cDuring the first days of September, 1909, on a Saturday, I received a telegram from Hon.Senator Choquette calling me immediately to Quebec with Mr.J.E.A, Dubuc.mang- aging director of the Chicoutimi Pulp Company, on important business.\u201cAfter hav'ng communicated with Mc.Dubuc, I replied to Senator Choquette saying that Mr.Dubuc could not get sway at present.\u201cI then received a second telegram from Hon.Senator Choquette asking me\u2019to come up without delay with Mr.Simon Lapointe, advocate, of Chicoutimi, in default of Mr.Duue, \u201cI immediately wired Mr.Lapointe who was then at Murray Bay, inquiring whether he could the next day (Sunday) take the boat and come up with me to Quebec to meet Hon.Senator Choquette: Mr.Lapointe replied in the affirmative and we met on that Sunday night on the Richelieu & Ontario boat at Murray Bay wharf.The next day (Monday) we went together to Hon.Senator Choquette\u2019s.office and he addressed us about it in the following terms : © \u201c1 am just back from Arthabaska, where | met Sir \u2018Wilfrid Laurier and Hon.Rodolphe Lemieux.They have asked me to see you and propose the settlement of the contestation of Mr.Joseph Girard.\u201cMr, Girard is now st Murray Bay with Hon.Rodolphe Lemieux.They shail be here to-morrow in Quebec to settle the matter definitely, if we can all three reach sn agreement.\u201cI can now make the following proposal : Should you consent to abandon the contestation of the elec- Mion of Mr.Girard, the Government is prepared to favor you as follows : \u201c1, The Chicoutimi Pulp Company shall be paid the sum of $30,000 which it claims from the Federal Gover ment for its booms on the River GIN , LONDON DRY GIN The Universal Brand LAW, YOUNG & GO.- MONTREAL.| fore: me.Saguenay.Nevertheless, my instructions are to let you know that this matter shall be settled even should you not accept my propositions.\"2.The Ha ! Ha! Bay Railway Coshali be paid the Federal subsidy which is withheld through the influ ence of Mr.Girard.(Hon.Senator Choquette is and was at the time Prerident of that Company.) \u201c3.The law suit between Mr.J.C.Tache and Mr.Simon Lapointe, advocate, and the paper Le Progres du Saguenay shall be settled, ail costs and disbursements being paid.\u201c4 The costs of the contestation shall be paid.\u201c5.In the future, patronage in your county shall be distributed acoording to your wishes and in such a manner as to give you justice.\u201cAfter we had informed Hon.Senstor Choquette of our refusal to accept such a compromise, he congratulated us, and declared that he had been charged with a dirty task and that our response was what he ez- pected.\u201cThe following day we took the bost for Chicoutimi and we were .informed at Murray Bay that Hon.Rodolphe Lemieux and Mr.Jqseph Girard, M.P., had left the same morning by the ferry to River Ouelle with à view of meeting Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who was then in Montreal.\u201cAt Murray Bay wharf we also received a message from Senator Choquette stating that he had learned in Quebec of the departure of Hon.M.Lemieux and Mr.Girard for Montreal.\u201d 1, : Third Attempt :\u2014From what is already mentioned, one may easily conclude that politicians, Ministers first of all, were deeply interested in the welfare of the member for the Counties of Chicoutimi and Saguenay, Mr.Girard, and they were willing to accomplish great sacrifices to save his position.\u2019 But we have not yet seen that Hon.Judge Tourigny had become the instrument of these same politicians and that he had decided he would succeed where others had failed.In the text of a memorandum prepared in January last (1910) on the political events of the county and which was read to Hon.Jacques Bureau, Mr.Lapointe thus summed up the manner in which Judge Tourigny tried to obtain from him (Mr.Lapointe) a settlement of the contestation of the election of Mr.Girard : \u201cOn the fourth of October, 1908, Hon.Judge Tourigny came to Chicoutimi to decide a motion for particulars in the case for the invalidation of the clection of Mr.Girard and following is in a few words what he had the audacity to propose fo Mr.Lapointe, whose case he had taken en delibere; the conversation ran thus : \u201cTovrigny\u2014You should cease your quarielling in Chicoutimi, compromise together and abandon the contestation of Mr.Girard.\u201cLapointe \u2014Impossible, Judge.I have 2 mandate from the petitioners and fom the public ; I must accomplish it and shall be relieved only when Mr.Girard shall have confessed judgment or when I shall have him condemned, \u201cTourigny\u2014Well, ali right ! But Mr.Girard will resign and you can then make no opposition and allow him to be elected by acclamation, \u201cLapointe\u2014Inipossible, Judge.I cannot compromise in that way.\u201cTourigny\u2014Listen to me, Lapointe, this is to your advantage, as Girard will resign; there will be an election immediately, before you will have time to realize it.Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Hon.Jacques Bureais, the other Ministers and ali the party will come and help out Mr.Girard.They will spend $50,000 in the county if \u20ac is needed and you will be crushed.Your only consolation will be a new contestation.\u201cLapointe\u2014You are mistaken, Judge, Girard shall not be elected and we shall not be crushed.I know the sentiment of the people in the county.\u201cTourigny\u2014You are wrong Lapointe, in keeping that attitude.The Government will draw away from you those whom you believe are your friends and you shall remain alone to face the condemnation which I shall pronounce against you in the case be.The costs alone are enormous and shall be over $3,000.Now, settle this matter, let Girard be elected anew, cease the fight against the Government.Sir Wilfrid Laurier, to whom I spoke about the matter.is anxious to have it thus.1 will condemn you to a trifling \u2018penalty and afterwards have you reimbursed the amount of the condemnation in capital interest and costs with also all your expenses regarding this law suit.The matter w'll be settled so that all parties withdraw advantageously.Tomorrow come and see me.I shall see that you meet Hon.Jacques Bureau.\u201cLapointe\u2014Impossible, Judge.1 have business which will keep me from it.\u201cTourigny\u2014I shall have Hon.Jacques Bureau come here, will you ?\u201cLapointe\u2014No, I am not willing to accept your proposal, \u201cTourigny\u2014Wire me Friday Quebec if you change your mind.As a whole, these statements are true ; nevertheless they have not the advantagé of giving all the details of the conversations which.occurred between the Hon, Judge and Mr.Lapointe.It does not mention, for instance, this declaration of the Hon, Judge : \u201cSince the News of Toronto, a d\u2014d Conservative paper, took up this matter, the Government cannot ignore your lawsuit; it has become a party matter and you will be crushed, cost what it may.\u201d And again : \u201cTake care about the

BADLY INJURED Great French Poet and Dramatist Was Victim of Serious Automobile Accident.Biarritz, France, Aug.16.\u2014Edmond Rostand, the poet and dramatist, was the victim of a serious sutomobile accident near here today and tonight lies in his villa at Cambo-les-Bains surrounded by physicians who, as.yet, have been unable to determine what the outcome of his injuries will be.He is suffering from serious contusions of the head and body, and it is feared he is injured internally.M.Rostand was motoring from Cambo-les-Bains to St.Jean de Luz, accompanied by his chauffeur and a mechanic, when his machine skidded on a curve in the road, leaped into the air, turned over and fell to the, : bottom of a fifteen-foot ditch, pinning the poet beneath it.His companions were unhurt and worked desperately, but vainly, to raise the car and release the imprisoned man.Finally, finding thei refforts of no avail, they rushed off for help, while M.Rostand, in great agony, lay crushed and bleeding beneath the upturned car.Shortly afterwards the chauffeur sue- ceeded in enlisting the aid of a squad of farmers and M.Rostand was extricated and rushed to his villa for medical attention.M.Rostand is 43 years old.STRUCK BY STREET CAR.Montreal, Aug.16.\u2014Emile Laporte, an expressman, was struck by a street car at the corner of St.Andre street |, and Mount Royal avenue this evening while driving

Ha! Bay Railway (of which Senator Choquette was president) ot the subsidy which was being withheld Girard; (3) The settlement of Mr.Tache's lawsuit against \u2018the Advocate Lapointe, and the payment of costs and expenses \u2018incurred; (4) Payment of costs of the contestation; (5) A division for the future of all patronage in the constituency to suit the desires of Mr.Girard's opponents asd render them justice.\u2018 These propositions \u2018were, accora- ing to the affidavit, refused by Messrs.Senator Choquette congratulated them on their decision, declaring that he had been entrusted with a dirty | commission and that he was glad to | find its terms refused, as he expected | to be.\u201cOn the next day,\u201d says Mr.Lepage, \u201cwe again took the boat for Chicoutimi and learned while passing Murray Bay that the Hon.Rodolphe Lemieux and Mr.Girard had left that place the very same morning by the River Ouelle ferry on their way to meet Sir Wilfrid Laurier at Montreal\u201d The above are serious charges, though not out of keeping with the record of the Government, and further developments of the situation will be awaited with interest.It is small wonder that with scandals of this sort cropping out all over the country, the Government should seek to divert attention from them by | flaunting their reciprocity rag.THE WRITING ON THE WALL.All over the country multiply the signs that indicate the approaching doom of Laurieriem at the polls on September 21 next.Esepcially during the last week have they poured in thick and fast.Only a few days ago Sir Wilfrid intimated to the tribal chieftains of Alberta and Saskatchewan that the rights which, through the\u201d injustice of the Liberal party had heen refused the prairie provinces so long would at last be conceded them | | through fear as a bribe to wi nover their support in the coming struggle.Many other evidences of this fear are to be found.It is betrayed, for instance, in the millions appropriated for public works, for dishonest dredging contracts, useless saw-dust wharves, drill sheds, clock towers, etc.etc.A sop here, à sop there, a sop everywhere to purchase the good opinion of the electors whosé just demands have been ignored time after time by the tryranical apd unsceupu- lous patronage-mongers at Ottawa.Two significant illustrations of the fact that the beginning of the end has arrived were furnished last Saturday and Sunday.On Saturday, at Brantford, it was impossible to get n candidate to run in the Liberal intercets, after Mr.Lloyd Hareis, the late member, had THE QUEBEC CHRONICLE.and support reciprocity.On the con- teary, he declined te support reciprocity, and he told us something else, namely, that had a- vote beer\u2019 taken in \u2018the Liberal caucus at Ottawa, when the\u2019 Fielding-Patterson pact was ficst announced, ninety per cent.of the Liberal members would have been againet it.In other words, the reciprocity scheme was absoluse- ly the product of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Hon.Mr.Paterson and the Hon.Mr.Fielding.It is even believed that it lacked the support of the majority of the members of the Cabinet.Now, this is very significant, and it shows that reciprocity was not asked for by Canadians generally, and that it had to.be foreed on members of the Cabinet and an the members of the party who made up the caucus at Ottawa.Then came Sunday, when the monster contradictory assembly was held at Ste.Hyacinthe and, as the Liberal organs of Ottawa and Toronto put it, what was intended to be a Liberal demonstration, was turned into n Nationalist success.Even the desperate theatrical devices employed by the Liberal organisers to evoke \u201cspontuncous enthusiasm\u201d fell as fat ag.a pancake.It was proved conchisively that the name of Laurier had lost gil its old magic for thé French Canadians and all Mr.Lemieux\u2019s.specious panegyrics of reciprocity and the naval policy and his denunciations of the Nationalist lcao- ers, only served to recall the fact that Mr.Lemieux on past occasions has conducted the very campaign of anti-Imperialism and Provincialism which he accused his opponents of fostering nowadays.The crowd rec- orgnized Mr.Lemieux as the trimmer,\u201d always ready to abandon any prineiple to curry favor with the pub- tic, and it let him know in most emphatic manner that it appreciated him at his proper measure.And as for Mr.Lemieux, no one, not even his most bitter opponent, could have done more harm to the Liberal cause than he did himself when he showed himself in his true colors to the derision of thirty thousand people.Do what he may, his puerile exhibition of last Sunday will always tell against him and he will have hard work to live it down.Quebec is the stormécentre of the struggle, and those who have their ears to the ground throughout the Province say that at\u201d least fifteen seats will be lost to the Laurier cattse.Others go so far as to ky twenty, and some even predict that the present administration will otly retain a minority out of the ds sents.A change of government would do the country far more good than any reciprocity leap without looking and the present

succeeded in inducing the Liberal Association of Lake St.John to support him as their standard-bearer, La Vigie seems to have entertained some doubts as to what politicial opinions Mr.Scott really did hold, and to have imagined that in giving its support to him, it might possibly be aiding a Conservative in disguise.\u201cWe bsked him,\u201d says La Vigie, \u201cwhat were his political views in the present struggie, in order to know if we could support hom or not.Here is an almost exact reproduction of his declaretions:\u2014 \u201cThey say that I am a Censervative.If 1 am, it is only in name.I began my career with that: party, but that was twenty years ago, and since that time, as the old ones know, I have helped the Liberals in their struggles, whether Provincial or Federal\u201d \u201cMy friends at Quebec, just ms at Ottawa.\u201d continues Colonel Scott, \u2018are Liberals.I never, or hardly ever, meet Conservatives, unless in business, and that has been the case for twenty years.\u201d Everyone knows that Mr.Stott has supported the local Government, and Rumor has it that any other action on his part would have been churlish and ungrateful.The Federal cause, however, is another matter, and it seems hard to realise that Mr.Scott should approve of a policy which is \u2018intended to undo much of Sir Lomes Gouin's pulpwood legislation.Many Conservatives have begn under the impression that he was on their side.Under the citcumtances they feel that the party can very well do without him, though they think that he has chosen a bad time to \u201cflop\u201d.when the prospect of a Conservative victory is to bright.KEEP THE MONEY HERE.Diteussing the pulp and paper clauses of the reciprocity agreement The Cansds Lumberman opposes the battering away of this country\u2019s vast natural resources fdr 8 wholly inadequate consideration.A report issued by the Forestry Branch of the Department of the In- Jreen asked to carry the standard 2000000 A terior at Htawp Ron pet vem ua + healing 61 4 dèr present conditions we are not securing the yrofit thaÿ we should from our vast pulpwood areas.The United States is securing too great a proportion of the benefit accruing from the manufacture of our pulpwood into the \u2018finished article of commerce.The report says: \u201cUnfortunately, the tendency has been to export wood in the raw form of pulpwood rather than in the menufseturod form of wood pulp.\u201d The tables given in the report confirm this statement.During 1909 1,537,762 cords of pulpwand were cut in Canada and of this 915,- 633 cords, or 50.5 per cent, was exported.The value of the exported article was $5,752,659.\u2018The ameunt of wood, pulp exported during the year was 280,744 tons, valued at $4.89.842.This was about 63 per cent.of the production.We suffer a severe loss by the export of the raw material.Exporting the wood to the United States brought in $8,752,659.Exporting the pulp which the wood made would have bronght, at the average prices paid by the United States importers in 1909, $16,719,418.If the manufacture were completed and the pulp made into paper in its final form before being exported, the difference would be still gerater.It would be folly in the face of figures like these to permit of any \u201ceourse being accepted in Canada which would prevent the paper mills of Canada from taking advantage when the time is ripe of the markets for paper which they are sure to find in the United States.Irrespective of any efforts of the United States to secure access to the pulpwood of Canada, the time is certian to come, in the near future, when the demand for paper on the other side of the line will be strong enough to make it possible for Canadian mills to dispose of large portions of their output to United States consumers.It is more than reasonable that in the meanwhile we should do whatever we are able to encourage the export of pulp rather than of pulp wood.\u201d In 1909 Canada exported 46.4 per\u2019; cent.of the raw pulpwood used by the United States; 10.3 per cent.of the raw material manufactured in sixty-two pulp mills of New England, Maine, Massachusets, New Hampshire and Vermont, and 6.1 per cent.of the raw material used by the sixteen pulp mills of Pennsylvania.The 915,633 cords of Canadian wood exported in 1909 was sufficient to keep sixty-nine of the two hundred and fifty-one American pulp mills running full blast all year.If this pulp wood had been reduced to pulp in Canada it would have supplied for the year seventy- three pulp mills of the average size of those already in Canada.\u2018The greater part of the pulpwood exported was cut in Quebec.If it had been manufactured in Quebec it would have kept running seventy-one mills of the same size as those now existing in Quebec.NINETY-TWO WEDDED 7] TO TWENTY-FIVE.Great-grandfathers and great- grandmothers who can remember back to the days of seventy-five and eighty years ago when they were little children, may possibly recall Jimmy Doughty.Jimmy was z circus elqwn of the old school.Seventy years ago he was the funniest clown in the show business.Now he is in his ninety-third year and he has just been married at Brighton, England, to a young woman of twenty-five years.Doughty appeared at Drury Lane Theatre in 1849, and he also played light comedy parts with Sims Reeves when the latter \u201cwalked on\u201d at $6 per week.The old clown\u2019s explanation of why he married so late in life is that he felt lonely and neglected.His ambition now is to live to be 100 and on his hundredth birthday to put on his old costume to show people what a real old-time clown was like.MALE IN CANADA | For a really, tral7 Menjc, _ voureia Brownie Camera {For wen you cxn Lave soe ' other

make it their business to count up all the pounds of beef, bread, vegetables and other things that we eat every year, and estimate how much we arc going to eat next ycar, have announced that each man, woman or child in New York City is going to eat very nearly a whole case of eggs this year.Some persons may deny this knowing, as they do that they never touch eggs.But the statisticians only deal with averages, and the average consump- tior, they declare, will be thirty dozen eggs for cach person.Some of course will cat more, and a great many will eat less.\u2018The average for 1910 was twenty- six dozen eggs for each person, or 312 eggs in 365 days.The total number of eggs bought, and proaimably eaten, dering last year in New York was 1,535,596.200.\u2018Viese eggs cost the consumer $44,- 000,000, which is more per cgg than wae ever paid here before, as the 1910 prices were the highest in the history of the trade.More stored exgs, or \u201cheld eggs.\u201d as they are called in the trade, were carried over into 1911 than ever before.The excess over last year was some 60000 cases, The fact that these \u201cheld eggs\u201d in the coolers are of an unusually poor quality is attributed to carelessness in putting the stock away and the warm weather during the height of the storage sca- son\u2014the latter part of March and the first fortnight in April.Eggs packed during the latter half of April and even in May, are in better shape than those packed earlier, Those that bought the late eggs reasonably cheap and disposed of them early are the ones who mède mones on nid ws\u201d .\\ last peat J With all the progress in the storage | oe Summer of eggs the demand for the \u201cfresh laid\u201d kind never has been greater or more insistent than it is now.Some folks thin kit an imposition to be called upon to pay fifty cents a dozen for eggs at any time of the year, but as a matter of fact in New York alone there sre litterally hundreds of con- | tracts to pay that price the year round.The only stipulation is that the eggs shall not be more than seventy-two hours old.August 15, 1911.FLOUR.Hungarian patent .\u2026 .$2.75@$2.80 No.1 strong bakers \u2026 245 250

the eye are one of the most frequent causes of diminished vision, especially in children, but despite the numerous cases observed no definite method of treating them has yet been arrived at.The great number of remedies, both chemical and physical.which have heen recommended sufficiently indicates that a really efficacious treatment has not so far been found, This ie true of the remedy proposed in 1903 Ly Dr.Mozet in the form of an application of lithium benzrate to the spots on the cornea, In 1904 Dr.Lemeignar obtained some results by means nf subenn- junctival injections of salt water.Dr, Sulzez in 1906 treated cornea cpaci- ties by means of eletrolysis, phata- therapy and radiotherapy.Flectrolysis has given hut mcagre results as regards the improvement of the eye- | ground fAoor.heated.sight.Radictherapy and photother- apy employed subsequently to clec- trolysis in a number of cases effected noteworthy improvements cf vision, Thiosinamin has been proposed hy Dr.Galezowski for the treatment of white spots on the cornca.He utilizes a mixture of antipyrine and thios/na- min, which yields a painless and non- irritant anueous solution.It is used by beginning with five per cent and proceeding to fiftcen per cent applied by means of an eye bath.Although generally causing no inconvenience, this preparation after a few days\u2019 treatment may produce a slight redness.The use of the medicament is then interrupted for several days.These solutions have never given rise to violent irritation of the conjunctiva nor have they caused any changes in the cornea.1f needs be a few drops of cocaine may be previously instilled, though in most cases patients do not complain.These eye baths should last five minutes and should be given once or twice a day, according to the amount of the dpacity.In the case of children the same solutions may be employed a: inatillations.The results obtained have been almost always excellent.Out of twenty- six cases of spots on the cornea in which this mode of treatment was applied Dr, Galezowski obtained à very notable improvement in eleven cases, while in six cases the condition remained stationary.In the majority of the cases, however, the white spots were of long standing origin, From the objective point of view the results are very definite, In a short time one to à few weeks~the white spot appears less white and less visible.The opacity does not dlesp- pesr completely, dut the Inminous MYs Jp through much mons aaglip, | | Crystal Diamonds, 25-1b boxes 6.35! her, 37 ; MARRIED COUPLE REQUIRE | |

Ît was agreed to allow the discussion to remain over until another day to ses if a better service would be given the complainant.ser- R.F.Jones, local manager, of the that day fall POPE SAT UP NEARLY ALL DAY Discussed Official Matters With Merty Del Val and Receive Several of His Friends.Rome, Aug.16\u2014Pope Pius, whose condition shows marked improvement over that of last week, sat up nearly all day today.His Holiness even ventured to walk from his arm chair to his writing desk to get some papers required while discussing official matters with Cardinal Merry Del Val, the Papal Secretary of State.The Cardinal\u2019s visit to the sick room, however, was not a prolonged one, being cut short in order that he might not fatigue the Pope, who still needs rest and quiet.During the day the Pontiff seceived à number of his friends, his physicians believing that a chat with others thai those engaged in the sick room might tend toward brightening the spirits of the patient.His Holiness was not informed of the sudden death of Cardinal Moran in Sydney, New South Wales, today.It was feared that the shock might have a detrimental effect on the Pontiffs health, as he held Cardinal Moran in high esteera.RACING AT COLUMBUS.Columbus, O., Aug.16\u2014The opening day of the fiest International Breeders\u2019 race meeting here to-day was à success.The feature was the Hotel Hartman $5000 stake for 2.13 pacers.In this race the presence of Vernon McKinney, the Chamber of Commerce winner, scared all except Sir R, Peter the Second and Nutmore.The MeKinney horse was made an «overwhelming favorite, selling $25 to $12 for the field.In the first heat he was off in front and won all the way, taking it rathsr easy at the finish.In the second heat the pace was a trifle faster and when Vernon McKinney was pushed by Sir R.at the head of the stretch he broke away and ran all the way to the wire, the judges distancing him for running.Sir R.had no trouble winning from the others in this and the next two heats.The 2.05 trot, with five starters, furnished another upset.Billy Burke won the first in 2033, which equals the fastest heat trotted in à race this season, made by Soprano at Cleveland last week.AOTS RENEWED I LERPOOL Soldiers Had Bayonets Fixed, but Crowd Was Not so Daring-\u2014Business at Standstill.Liverpool, Aug.16\u2014A renewal or rioting growing out of the strike of dockers and allied unionists occurred tonight on the Scotland road division of the city.The police again had to make baton charges an the soldiers also were called upon.Their presence, however, was not sufficient to overawe the rioters, who disposed of motor wagons which were conveying print papers to the newspaper offices.Street car windows were smashed and another attempt was made to release prisoners from the vans in which they were being conveyed to Walton jail.The police and soldiers, howeevr, were present in force, the troops with their bayonets fixed, but the crowd was not so daring as on Tuesday night, and did not compel the militia to fire, Tonight the troops are bivouacked in the streets of the city.They have been given orders not to fire over the heads of rioters in the future, as this endangers innocent parties, but that if it becomes necessary to shoot that they shall pick out the apparent ringleaders of the mob.;

the representatives of the Railway Men's Unions declared the strike would take place at the expiration of their ultimatum to-morrow morning.At Aldershot the military author- {ties are taking every precaution to ensure the working of the railways in the event a strike is calied.Every soldier in the Aldershot command has been placed under orders for duty.Previously only the cavalry sand infantry had been under orders, but to-day the Royal Engineers.tI}: Army Service Corps and the Field and Garrison Artillery were warned to have every man in their ranks ready to move on a moment's notice.If a strike is declared three regiments of cavalry and three batteries of Royal Horse Artillery will first he moved direct to London, to be followed at short intervals by an infantry battalion, field artillery, the Royal Engineers and the Medical Units of the command.Only the barracks guards will be left at Aldershot.All the soldiers will be armed with rifies and ball ammunition.They will be stationed along the railway lines north and south of Losdon, while the cavalry will he employed at stations and also will patrol! the lines so 28 to be able to get quickly to any point nf danger.The trains will be worked by flag signals.; Me Is estimated that 25.000 men from Aldershot wil] he prepared tn move in a few hours, trains to accom- ) modate that number having heen assembled there.Similar precautions | also have been taken at all other | military stations in England, Scotland and Wales, so that, in case of need, every available soldier will be on duty to ensure the continuance of railway traffic.Though the government to-day made an energetic attempt to avert the calamity of a general railway strike, the present indications are that one will materialize at 8 o'clock to-morrow morning, when the ulti« matum of the employees expires.Conferences were had to-day and tonight at the Board of Trade with representatives of both sides of the dispute and Sidney Buxton, president of the board, but they did not sctual- ly result in a meeting between the contending parties.An adjournment of the conferences until to-morrow was arranged to-night in order to enable Mr.Buxton to see the executives of the three railway men\u2019s unions who are now en route to [London from Liverpool.This fact alone leaves a glimmer of hope that the ment he extended another day and provide an opportunity for futher ne- wotiations.This is the government's earnest desire, but up to midnight there was no sign of any change in the plans for a strike.It is understood that Mr.Buxton\u2019s conference with the managers of the railway companies was largely taken up with the discussion of how far the government was prepared to go in affording military protection to the railways in event of a strike.Protect Life and Property.London, Aug.16\u2014To-night Mr.Lloyd George in the Commons an- awered the question of what the government's policy of protection to the railways would be.It seemingly hedged from the statements of himself and Mr.Churchill during the day.The Chancellor said: \u201cThe government is hound tn protect life and property, hut its responsibility does not end there.[It must do all in its power to see that fair play is given the community at large.Nothing is further from the mind of the government than even to convey the impression that it would inter- vente in the interests of any party.It is essential that the government should preserve an attitude of complete impartiality.It certainly does not mean to give any guarantee or to lend any countenance to the theory that it has undertaken in advance to be any party to the controversy.\u201d When the railway managers conference at the Baord of Trade adjourned to-night, Sir Guy Granet, general manager of the Midland Railway, made a «statement in behalf of the maitigers.This he read with great care to the reporters from manuscript.Te said: \u201cThe government having assured the railway companies that it would afford them ample protection to carry on their services, the railway companies are prepared, in the event of a general railway strike, to give an effective, through service.\u201d Mr.Granet said there had been no direct request from the men to the employers, He said, also, that the strikers\u2019 ultimatum would not be complied with, \u201cThe railway companies,\u201d said Mr.Granet, \u201chave been making arrangements for some time to cope wiih such eventualities as they are now facing I am quite satisfied there is no occasion for panic.Although there inevitably will be a certain mieit's ultimatum may at the last mo- amount of dislocation of traffic and inconvenience to the public, myselt and my colleagues are satisfied that we will he able to give a service which will meet the first requirements of: the situation.\u201cWe have three objects in view in the event of a general strike.In the first place, we will provide, as far as possible, for the conveyance of the food of the people.Our second object will be to feed the principal manufactureers and merchants with coal and raw material.When these two objects have been attained we will, to the utmost of our ability, deal with passenger traffic demands and meet them as amply as possible.\u201d When the reporters told Mr, Buxton that 8ir Guy had made this statement he was diapleased, saying, \u201cSir Guy makes it on his own authority.\u201d In the course of the conference at the Board of Trade the railway managers contended strongly that they had entered into an agreement in 1907 with their men for a conciliation for the settlement of all differences.They said the agreement was reached under pressure from the government and that the employees Youd promised loyally to sbide by is ALLEGED LYNCHERS RE APPRENAOE And Charged With Murder in Connection With the Burning of Coatesville Negro.Costesville, Pa, Aug.16\u2014Threa men, one of whom the authorities assert was a leader of the mob, were arrested here to-day and charged with murder in connection with the burn ing of Zacharias S.Watker, who was dragged on his cot from the Coatesville hospital on Sunday night and cremated.Those arrested to-day were Joseph Schofield, master mechanic of the Conestoga Traction Company; Norman Price, a mill hand, and George Stoll, who was employed with Price in the iron mills.The accused were taken into custody after they had been closely questioned at the Coatesville police station and were then rushed by automobile to the West Chester jail.Schofield is 35 years while Price and Stoll are each 22.Stoll is accused of being one of those most active in the lynching.The police declare they have evidence to show that he helped tie the negro to his cot and that on entering the hospital he shouted: \u201cCome on, fellows, it's easy; there is only one cop.\u201d Schofield is said to have admitted that he assisted to tie Walker when the mob first entered the hospital and later to have untied him that he might be bound for the burning.Price is in the hospital, but denies that he was in the hospital, ut denies that he was present at the burning.Kennedy Boyd, a lineman, who was the first man arrested, was released to-day.The authorities admit that they have no evidence against him.The Philadelphia North American describes the burning of the negro thus: : \u201cWith a mighty effort he flung himself from the centre of the burning heap of straw, hay and timber and crawled beyond the zone of the fire.Flesh was hanging in strips from his already charred and blistered body, but the gruesome sight failed to move any of the mob to compassion.He was roughly flung back into the fire, only to attempt once more (0 escape from it by creeping weakly beyond its reach, Those nearest the circle of flame allowed him to crawl outside of it and almost to their feet, They seemed fascinated by the revolting spectacle his maimed and half.burned body presented to them.Their cries of derision were taken up by those behind them and the night air rang with the frenzied yells of a pas- sion-swayed mob.Then he was wrenched {rem the place where he cringed, with his head buried between his arms, and once more flung back into the fre.Even then the mob remained pitiless.When the negro tried for the third time he attempted to elude the reach of the flames by crawling beyond them.there were hands waiting Again to push him back among them.A biow from a fence rail partially stunned him, but even then a low, piercing groan came from his seared ips and the whites of his eyes bespoke the agony he was forced to endure.From the mound of hay and straw and fence rails, burning Bercely in CANADA BREAD COMPANY, UEBEC CHRONICLE.THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 1911.FINANCIAL Subscription List Will Open on Monday, Aug.14, and Will Close on or Before 3 p.m.Monday, Aug 21 CAWTHRA, MULOCK & CO.OWN.AND OFFER AT.~ 1/° O8, $1,250,000 of GO First Morigage Sinking Fund Thirty Year Gold Bonds of P LIMITED (Incorporated under the Laws of the Province of Ontario.) , The same to carry with them à bonus of 25 per cent.of Common Stook.;
