Ottawa, April 3\u2014Colonel Hughes has made publie a letter to Lord Strathcona on the subject of the Ross rifle and the sights.Jt is a defence of the Canadian weapon and the sight over which there has been controversy with National Rifle Association of Great Britain.\u201cWhen one takes the rifles,\u201d says Colonel Hughes, \u201cand examines them, and sees them fitted with the sights and examines them also, he just simply smiles at the protestation of the National Rifle Association.\u201d A little later he says: \u201cUnfortunately, one of the many fad sights, comnion after the South African V similar to what is found on the British army riile, only not so heavy, was adopted for the Ross, Of course, no fine shooting could he made with such sights, and in those days no objection was raised by Bisley to either the Ross rifle or the sights.\u201d The minister then describes the development of the Ross, repeating that its success at Bisley is the cause of the objections to it.The British army, he says, is armed with a short Lee-Enfield, but the long Lee-Enfeld is allowed at\u2019 Bisley.The Ross is very littfé heavier than the long Lee- Enfield, the difference often being due | to the superior walnut in the stock of the Ross.He then defends the use of the Sutherland sight.A sight made by a British firm is allowed.though it must he screwed to the side of the stock in an awkward fashion, while the much more convenient and soldierly arrangement of the attachment of a sight on the rear aperture sight bed is prohibited.\u201cCanada,\u201d he says.\u201chad heen ahso- {utely honest from the outset.\u201d U.S.SHOE MACHINERY COIN MORE TROUBLE.Boston, April 3\u2014Judge Hale in the U.S.District Court to-day denied the motion to dismiss, and overruled a plea in ahatement, filed by the United Shoe Machinery Co.and officers, to the suit brought against them by Chs.À.Strout.trustee of the Goddy Sons\u2019 Metl Fastening Co.The action is brought under the

police jumped from their automobile and surrounded and pinioned him before he was able to draw either of two automatic pistols with which he was provided.Carouy did not attempt to deny his identity.\u201cYes, I am Carouy, all right,\u201d he said.\u201cI belong to the band you are looking for.\u201d But to other questions he gave uno answer.The police automobile hastened hack to Paris with the prisoner, who was taken to M.Guichards.While his examination was going on Carouy, watching a favorable opportunity, swallowed a tabloid.Police surgeons, howevèr.subjected him to such energetic treatment that the poison failed to act, Later is was discovered by the doctors that instead of taking poison, Carouy swallowed a harmless compound which a druggist had sold to him in place of a deadly preparation which he thought he was purchasing.When Carouy said, \u201cI am going to die.\u201d the doctors laughed and replied: \u201cNot at all; what you have taken will do you good.\u201d The prisoner was indignant at a report printed in the newspapers that he had given the police information as to the other members of the band.Passing hefore a group of reporters on his way

here almost instantly late to-day when his biplane, in which he had been soaring over the ocean, fell from a height of 200 feet and buried him in the wreck.His neck was broken and his body badly mashed by the engine of his machine.| He lived but a few moments.Rogers for a week past had heen making daily flights here and had taken up with him many passengers, both men and women.To-day he started from his usual place and soared out over the ocean, crossing the pier and then turned and dipped close to a roller coaster in a heach amusement park.Seeing a flock of gulls disporting themselves among a great shoal of sardines just over the breakers, Rogers again turned and dived down into them, scattering the sea fowl in all directions.Rogers then flew far out to sea, all the time gradually rising, until he had reached a height of about 200 feet.Making a short turn, he started at full speed for the pier, then suddenly dipped his planes and his machine began a frightful descent.Rogers was seen by hundreds of persons on the pier to relax his hold on the levers and then.seemingly realizing that he was in danger, he made strenuous efforts to pull the nose of his machine into a level position.Failing in this, hie managed to turn his craft further in shore and an instant later the craft crashed into the edge of the surf, not 500 feet from the spot where on Dec.10 last he had finished his ocean-to-ocean flight.Many men rushed to his aid.Ernest Scott and James Goodwin, life guards, were the first to reach him, They said Rogers\u2019 head was hanging over one wing of the machine, the heavy engine was on his |.back and his feet were drawn up near- ty doubling over his shoulders.Blood was flowing frim his mouth, Rogers was lifted from the wreck and hurried to the Bathhouse Hos- | pital.He died on the way.| Examination showed that Rogers\u2018 \u201cneck, jaw bone and back had been broken.oA telegram was sent tn the aviator\u2019s widow, who lives in Pasadena.Cal, t and a cablegram to his mother, Mrs.CH do S.Schweitzer, who is now in Lonn, The body was prepared for burial and sent to Pasadena to-night.RECOVERED DAMAGES FOR DEFECTIVE GOODS Toronto,

of the fateful free man of Hemmen were lost in à long and fond embrace with his wife, who had thrown her arms about hes neck as soon as it became evident that the court would acquit her hus- baud for the shooting affair at the Savoy Hotel last Sunday.Que of the brothers, Herbert, was too weak to give his ante-mortem statement and the doctors state that before morning he will have passed Edgar and Harry lying in the same room, were strong enough to be examined.It was a pitiful and heartbreaking scene which was enacted in the hospital this afternoon when Justice journeyed to a dying man's bedside and from his own lips, in broken words 'and choking sobs heard thie story of ! the shooting affair as a result of which the patient is soon to be in the Great Beyond.The mother of the dying

hroken voice.\u201cWill you tell us what happened at the Savoy Hotel Sunday morning?\u201d Edgar then told how his brother Harry had called for him early Sunday morning and with his brother Herbert they had gone to the Savoy Hotel to help their brother Harry against a man whom Harry said had been abusing him.He told how they got into Hemmen's 150m und attacked him thinking him to be Sanford, who had offended Harry and how Hemmen began to shoot on being attacked.Harry Chapman said that the shooting began as soon as he opened the door and he had not been given even a chance to get into the
