Pelletier, and today they heard the the smudging operations began.The stories of survivors and others.Jos.G.Lyons, of Brookline, proprietor of the house, was one of the witnesses.Ms.Lyons has ssid that he believed the fire was set.James Walsh, night clerk, who was in charge, James W.McIntosh, day clerk, and August Monaghan, manager and inspector of Lyons\u2019 chain of lodging houses in Eastern cities, al- #0 testified.Warren C.Crowell, a hoy whose lack of funds kept him out of a bed in the lodging house, and who slep: instead in the office, was the last witness called.He first gave the cry of \u201cfire.\u201d Crowell was questioned as to whether the night clerk and night watchman, were at their posts in the office when the fire started.The inquiry will be resumed next Monday.; Rats and Matches.A combination of rats and matches is blamed for the fire, as a result of investigations by State officials today.Walter L.Wedger, State chemist, and officers of the State Policefound in a closet where the fire had apparently started, two rats which had been burned to death, one still holding a pie:e of burned paper between its teeth.The officials agreed that the rats probably chewed on matches thrown into the closet with sweeping, and thus started the blaze.Mayor Fitzgerald made another tour of the lodging houses of the city tonight, ordering some sections of houses closed because of overcrowding or inadequate fire escapes, and making criticisms ts the owners of |.conditions as he found them.Taihoku, Formosa, Dec.5.\u2014Six of the conspirators recently arrested and convicted of plotting the overthrow of Japanese rule in Formosa, were today sentenced to death.One hundred and twenty-three were sentenced to terms of imprisonment varying from four to twenty-five years.The others arrested in connection with the plot, numbering 140, were set at liberty, sheriffs announced that the smudges would be extinguished tomorrow.The use of wet gunpowder to create a deadly black damp was resumed today and because of its density the time before the deputies can search the workings after the double bulkheads are removed may be days instead of hours.The fate of the slayer of a fellow countryman and later five peace officers remained a matter of conjecture, no sound of life having come from the mine since Monday.Unrelaxed guard, however, was maintained at the tunnel mouths.FIRE BREAKS OUT IN JOSEPH ST.RESIDENCE AND STORE OF L.E.MARTEL I8 COMPLETELY GUTTED.Fire broke out shortly before two o'clock this morning in the cellar of the store of I,.E.Martel, Druggist, at No.51 St.joseph street, forcing Mr.Martel's family, who reside over the store, to escape from the rear in their nighe-clothing.The fire is said to have been caused by the furnace, and when the firemen from No.3 and No.4 stations arrived on the scene much smoke was issuing from the cellar and store.By prompt work the flames were con- fihed to the cellar, but the store was badly gutted by smoke and water and the damage is heavy.The upper part of the house is damaged by smoke.the Ry 3.30 o'clock firemen had mastered the blaze, POMMERY CHAMPAGNE Commands the highest OF FRANCE rices In

Tuesday, which prevented him from joining in the deputation that waited upon Premier Gouin in Quebec.Ald.Martin went with other Montreal aldermen and representatives of public bodies, to oppose the redistribution of the wards of the city, and to ask for a repeal of the paving bylaw.He was expected to appear at the Legislative building to lead the delegation arguments under these two heads, and to present a numerously signed petition.At the moment when he should have been addressing teh members of the Government, Alderman Martin was lying drugged in a room at the Chateau Frontenac Hotel.Who drugged him is a mystery that his \u2018riends are determined to probe to the bottom.But they beliere that it was a deliberately planned act, by someone interested in seeing that Alderman Martin did not appear at Parliament House.The statement made by Alderman Mactia himself, on his return to Montreal, follows: \u201cI claim,\u201d he said, \u201cthat another alderman wished to benefit by having me out of the way, and to take the fruits and credit of my campaign from me 1 feel that this outrage on me should not pass unremarked, and I \u2018Coudcil next Monday.\u201d HUNTING MAN WHO SHOT BANK MANAGER WINNIPEG POLICE BELIEVE HE I$ HIDING IN THAT CITY.Winnipeg, Dec.4\u2014The man hunt for the murderer of H, M.Arnold, manager of the Plum Coulee branch of the Bank of Montreal, became keen tonight, when provincial detectives traced the fugitive to within 12 miles of the city.Provincial and city police now believe their quarry to be in hiding here, and the nooks and crannies of the city are being pierced to bring him to justice.Car Driver Held.In the provincial jail is held William Dyck, the driver oi the car which carried the bandit away.Dyck has many things to explain to the police, and many contradictions to piece out.First, he told the officers at Plum Coulee that he had driven the men within two miles of Morris.Detectives tracked the car to a point 18 miles northwest of Morris, and saw the wheel marks where it turned round.Second, the livery man must explain away $240 in silver which was found beneath the back seat of his car, To be placed in the position in which it was found, the car seat and wooden frame work would have to be lifted.He told some officials the men got out of the car,pointed a Jun at him and told him to \u201cbeat it,\u201d which he immediately did.To others, he told of the robbers tampering with his carburettor and of spending half an hour fixing it.He made numerous other divergent statements when cross-examined by the chief of the provincial police tonight.Inquest Is Held.At Plum Coulee this afternoon the inquest was held.Witnesses of the actual shooting were present.Jacob Bergman, the caretaker of the bank, an old man, saw the robber, followed by Arnold, bolt around behind the bank and had seen him turn and shoot the bank manager when the latter was not 12 feet away.William Jackman, a laborer, had seen the same thing, but had heard Arnold call out \u201cRobber, robber.\u201d and \u201cDrop that money!\u201d A doctor, the junior clerk and the teller told of the finding of the body.The medical man stated death was caused by 2 wound over the heart and produced a thirty-thiety steel-cased bullet, The junior clerk.Lloyd Wagner, told of having spoken to John Krafchenko fast summer, when the latter had remarked that it would be an easy matter to rob the bank, but that lt.would have to be done in the daytime, because of the time lock on the iat ot Ne up in the Cl 4 gwo fourth prizes, two sixth prizes and one seventh Championships and threes were senior champion was Fyvle Bur who was first in the aged class.Jashes McLay, one of the judges, prinounted him ene of the best all-round goed horses of the breed he had seen for a long time.He is owned by am Brothers, of Wilkesbarre, Pa.: The senior ch@wpion mare was Harviestoun Ba: ss, owned by the Fairholm farm of New Market, N.J.These two were afterwards granted champions of the breed.The junior champion stallion was Glencaple, of the Conyham stud.The junior champion mare was Rosie i Pride, from the same stud.In the class of three animals, the get of one sire, R.H.Taber, of Condie, Sask, got third place with the get of \u201cThe Bruce)® and the Colony Farm, British Columbia, was second with the get of \u201cBaron\u2019s Pride.\u201d Competing Against Millionaires It will perhaps help Canadian readers to understand how good a showing the western bied horses have made to explain that in Clydesdales particularly, the prominent breeders on the Americas Vi many times\u2019 tonsires; 3 > \u201ceven ten thousand dollars for a horse for show purposes is nothing to them.This is especially true of the Conyham Brothers and Fairholm Farm studs, These men have gone into the business because they are Scotchmen by descent and anxious to see the home breed more prominent in America.Not only have they limitless money for importing, but their stables are wonderful and they can command the very best stud grooms the country can produce.Tc win in classes with such competition is a great credit to Canadian western horses and shows that the Saskatchewan men are both breeding and importing along right lines.Exhibits in Request, Almost more convincing than the prizes is the demand for the exhibits - themselves, R.H.Taber, of Condie, has sold six fillies sired by The Bruce, three of these down here and three now on his farm in Saskatchewan.They were bought by F.L.Ames, of Langwater, Mass, à son of the great plow manufacturer, and another man who is using his wealth to promote good stock.The price is not to be published yet, but it is a royal one, and the fillies sold are Hillcrest Eva's Gem Hillcrest, Princess Pat, Hillcrest Queen of the Revels, Hillcrest Rosebud, Hillcrest Miss Revels, and Hillcrest Domino.Of course the fillies down here, being shipped in bond at the government expense, will be returned to Saskatchewan and the whole six will be shipped from there.It also looks as if Robert Leckie of Arcola would not be able to resist the pressure to sell Royal Sensation, who was first as yearling and first as futurity foal, Many Offers Refused.W.H.Bryce has refused all offers for Doune Lodge Romeo and the University of Saskatchewan have refused several excellent offers for Lady Bruce of Lumsden and Craigie Meral.Dean Rutherford declares that these are types they need in their work at the university, and that he will not part with them.Praise for Commissioner.All the Saskatchewan breeders who are down here are loud in their praises of the manner in which J.S.Smith, the livestock commissioner, has handled the exhibit.It is no light undertaking to have the charge of §27.000 worth of horses in a strange place, bad weather, and under entirely novel conditions.Friday will be devoted to the cleaning up of all judging that has nit previously been covered.In the horse rings today The Shire held sway, the showing was large and there were a number of outstanding animals, especially among tbe mares, Cattle Exhibits Sold The cattle car lot exhibits were sold today.The champion car lot sold for $13.25 per cwt., and the reserve champion car iot, which were two-year-olds, at $11.80.The interest in stock breeding is emphasized by the high averages made at the sales of pure bred stock.The Aberdeen Angus Society sold 52 head at an safe.As Wagner slept in the bank the last statement relieved him, he said.J average of $274 each, nearly $100 over the average of last yeas, ore!

Brownwood.1; Dallas, 3; Grand Prairie, 1; High Bank, 2; Austin, 3; Hearne, 7; Waco, 2.DENVER SNOWBOUND.Denver, Colo., Dec.4\u2014Denver is snowbound tonight.At 7 o'clock tonight the United States weather bureau reported from 20 to 24 inches of snow had fallen with no prospect of a cessation for ten hours.Since mid- afternoon street car traffic has been blocked, Thousands were marvoned in the downtown district tonight.Suburban trains were reported from 3 to 8 hours late and overland trains from 4 to 10.hours late.No attempt wan being made to send out any trains.NOUS CGRONOOGOS TWENTY THOUSAND MINERS ARE IDLE London, Dec.4 \u2014 Nearly 20.000 miners in South Wales sre idle through the spread of the Great Westera Railway strike, The strike originated through the dismis:al of an engine driver, and although it was not authorized by the un- fon, the movement has developed very rapidly.X08 10 FF 10% CF XCF FF 100 CF XK XX 0 FOF MAY BE STRIKE AT ST, JOHK, NB ARRIVAL OF TWO STEAMERS OF THE ALLAN LINE AWAITED WITH INTEREST.\u2014 St.John, N.B., Dec.4.\u2014The arrival of the Pomeranian and the Tunisian of the Allan Line, due here late tonight, is awzited with interest, inasmuch as there may be a strike over the employment of union and non-union \u2018longshoremen, tieing up.not only the Allan Line, but the whole winter port business.The Allan Line a crowd of men who have been working with them for some years.These men are not members of the \u2018Longshoremen\u2019s Union.It is said to be the in.ention of the Allan Line to employ these men again, whether there are union men available for the work or not.It was thought the non-union men would be employed only in case there was a deficiency of union men, but such is not the case; the n-n-union men who have been in the employ of the Allan Line will get the work.E.J.Tige, business agent of the union, said that there would be no trouble if the Allan Line did not em- play non-union men.But the Allan Line officials have stated they will do so, hence a strike is expected.The Allan Line claim that their employment of non-union men involves the breaking of no contract or agreement.The °L >ngshoremen claim that their contract with the Shipping Federation will be broxen in case nonunion men are employed while union men are available.This afternoon a number of nonunion men were on hand awaiting the arrival of these steamers.WILL BE HANGED.Vancouver, B.C., Dec.4\u2014The Court of Appeals today refused a new trial to Paul Spintlum, who will therefore be hanged Dec.18 for the murder of Ritz- ONE CENT.CRISIS IN FRANCE NEARER SOLUTION EX-PREMIER FELIX RIBOT IS INVITED TO FORM A COM POSITE MINISTRY.Paris, Dec.4.\u2014The Ministerial Lrisis is a step nearer settlement tonight.President Poincare, after lengthy consuitations today with M.Caillaux, leader of the Radicaly Emile Aimond, president of the Finsnce Committee of the Senate, and others, principally of the financial as pect of the situation, requested exs Premier Felix Ribot to undertake the task of forming a composite ministry acceptable to all groups of Republicans.M.Ribot at first declined, pleading ill-health, but finally consented to consider the matter, and give his answer tomorrow, after he had consulted with his friends.Patliamentary circles, however, doubt that he will accept.In the event that he definitely declines, it is probable that M.Doumergue, exe Minister of Commerce, will be asked, as he is generally considered the most capsble of forming the required type of Cabinet.SUPREME COURT.Ottawa, Dec.4.-\u2014The argument in the case of Snell vs.Brickle was taken up in the Supreme Court today.The action was for specific performance of an agreement by respondent to sell lands in Yorkcount, Ont.DONNER WAS SECRETARY TO GLADSTONE London, Dec.5.\u2014The Hon, Constable Kindness near Ashcroft last ;

A mournful story came from Montreal 30 years ago.of rascality and duplicity in banking circles.The Exchange Bank.a financial institution, which today ought to have ranked as one of the strongest monetary concerns of the Dominion.has gone to smash.There was a stormy mecting of the shareholders held yesterday.Thomas Craig, the President did not turn up at the meeting and has not been seen; so it is believed he has absconded.The developments show unmistakably that the shareholders will be called on for the double liability and that Craig has committed a large robbery on the bank.His mansion, costing $60,000 and other real estate is all registered in his wife's name.It is a great scandal if Craig is allowed to escape.He is the second manager of the same bank who has had to flee for fleecing the poor shareholders, who lost half their capital only four years ago.How much Craig has taken with him is not known, but it is supposed to be a large amount.The Quebebe Morning Chronicle has this to say regarding this robbery: We want a law similar to that employed in the Mother Country.when the City of Glasgow Bank failed, to meet just such cases 1s the present onc.There are a good many scamps left in Montreal.But their day of doom is fast approach- ng.The Banks of Canada Thirty years ago, Mr.George Hague, then the general manager of the Merchants Bank, gave a very interesting lecture on Canadian Banking, from which the following is extracted: In every community there are two classes, the bold and enterprising and the cautious and careful, between the two there grew a third class, the banker.A banker in the beginning was a rustodian of other people's money, trusted by them for his prudence, solid character and wealth.The first Canadian banks, the bank of Montreal and Quebec.Pianos of All Kinds.A considerable lot of new music las just been received by LAVIGUEUR & HUTCHINSON.8 St.John Street, 34 St Joseph Street À HUNDRED YEARS AGO TODAY Peace and Otherwise.The American newspapers, and some persons even in Canada.would have us believe in the probability of peace this winter.The one says a British Minister has been appointed to treat with the American Commissioners at St.Petcrsburg, and that Mr.Madison is \"oiling with rage at some gross insults on the part of Bonaparte, (going down the hill, we suppose) and that he, Mr.Madison, is going to war with France!

QUEÉÉEC, ste: | | { WILL MAKE MOTION T0 DISMISS CASE DR.W.B.CRAIG LIKELY TO BE ACQUITTED OF MURDER CHARGE Shelbyville, Ind, Dec.4.\u2014The State continued to present testimony today to support its theory of murder and to fasten the crime on Dr.William B.Craig, who is on trial here, charged with killing Dr.Helene Knabe.So confident was the defence that nothing would be brought out to the accused veterinary, with the death of Dr.Knabe, that the announcement was made late today that a motion te dismiss the case would be made to the court the moment the prosecution rested.Indications were that this would occur some time tomorrow.Three witnesses swore this afternoon that they heard the shrill scream of a woman in the vicinity of Dr.Knabe's apartment some time after midnight on the night she met her death.Joseph Carr, one of these witnesses, who was passing the apartment building at the time on his way homeward, said that a few moments later he encountered a man walking briskly out of the alley in the rear of the structure.The man was holding a handkerchief over his nose, the witness said.His description of the man did not fit Dr.Craig any better than that given yesterday by a witness, who said he met a man coming out of the areaway on the other side of the house, about an hour earlier in the evening.lr.Carr said the man he saw was about five feet nine inches in height and weighed about 180 pounds.Dr.Craig measures six fee: one inch and weighs more than 200 pounds, Mrs.Mary Elizabeth Vail Powell, who occupied the third floor flat, d1- rectly above Dr.Knabe's, testified that she heard screams between 12 and 1 o'clock in the night.She said the cries seemed to come from a point about a block to the south.Jefferson Haines, the negro janitor, who slept in a basement room, directly under Dr.Knabe's bedroom, declared that he was awakened by the noise made by something falling in the room above him.The sound was followed by a scream, he said.and then he heard light footsteps above.Ae he was dressing about 5:30 o'clock, he said he again heard footsteps in the room above.In an effort to establish a motive for.the alleged murder, the prosecution introduced as its witness Miss Katherine Fleming, of Avon, Ind, who admitted that Dr.Craig had been attentive to her for the past three years.Miss Fleming denied, however, that any engagement existed between them, although she said the subject of marriage had been discussed.Judge Blair blocked an attempt by the prosecution to get Dr.Knabe's bloodstained kimona before the jury, through the testimony of a chemist who had examined the garment.Alonzo M.Ragsdale, an undertaker, was indicted jointly, with Dr.Craig's, because the kimono was found in his possession.The court ruled that the state must first show some connection hetween Craig and Ragsdale before the kimono would be competent evidence.Two of the State's most important witnesses are yet to he heard.They are Miss Katherine McPherson, the office girl, who discovered the doctor\u2019s dead body, and Augusta Knabethe doctor's cousin.wi.o was the first person summoned to the apârtmen: After the discovery.KING GEORGE, TOO, BARS THE TANGO.- J etc rt À }

Committee, was indicted this afternoon on two counts for receiving campaign contributions irom corporations.: Everett P.Fowler, of Kingson, the alleged bagman for Tammany, already under indictment for extortion, was again indicted, charged with soliciting a campaign contribution from a corporation.District-Actorney Whitman had today expected to obtain the indictment also of Thomas Hassett, former secretary to State Engineer Bensel, on the charge of soliciting a bribe from Madison A.Aldrich, 2 Poughkeepsie contractor, but the grand jury did not have time to hear all the witnesses in the case today.It will be taken up tomorrow.The indictmert of McLean makes the third growing out of the District- Attorney's investigation of John A.Hennessy\u2019s charges of graft in the State Highway Department.Bank Draft For $1,000, The first count against McLean, whose home is in Newburgh, was based chiefly on the testimony of Mathew Van Alstyne, of Albany, an officer of the Shanghnessy Construction Company, who testified that he had sent a campaign contribution of $1000 in the form of a bank draft to McLean in October, 1912, and received therefore, McLean's receipt.The other count was based on testimony of Harold V.Owens, secretary and treasurer of the Dale Engineering Company, of Utica, that in the same month he Rad sent a check for $400 to McLean as a.campaign contribution for his corporation.The new indictment against Fowler was based on Owens testimony that Fowler had solicited him for the contribution.Under the State laws, either the solicitation or the acceptance of a campaign contribution from a corporation is a misdemeanor, punishable by a year's imprisonment and a fine of $1,000.No warrant was issued for McLean's arrest, and it was understood that he would be given an opportunity to give himself up.- Corroborative evidence in the Van Alstyne count wis introduced before the jury in the form of the original of the $1.000 ira?and the post,office registry receipt \u2018the letter in which is was enclosed, signed by E.J.Burke, a messenger in the employ of the Democratic State Committee.Burke was among the witnesses, as were also officials of banks in New York and Albany, through which the draft passed, and employees of the State Highway Department.called to prove that Van Alstyne had highway contracts with the State.The cancelled\u201d check of the Dale Engineering Company, endorsed with McLean's signature, was a part of the corroborative evidence introduced in support of the second count.All the witnesses called to testify against Flassett were subpoenaed to return tomorrow.The District-Attor- ney's John Doe inquiry, at which the evidence against those under indictment was originally brought out, will also be resumed tomorrow.More contractors are expected to testify as to having \u201csand bagged for campaign contributions.\u201d MORE COMMISSION CITIES.The New Plan to Be Tried in Penn- sylvania\u2014A Sweeping Change Insugurated.Philadelphia, Dec.4\u2014The third- class cities of Pennsylvania\u2014twentythree of them, varying in population from a little more than 5,000 to near- iy 100,000\u2014are about to go under a modified commission form of government provided by an act of the Legislature at its last session.Instead of having their affairs conducted as heretofore by a mayor and councils of two branches with numerous ward representation, the whole administration will be in the hands of a mayor and four commissioners.These will constitute both the legis- laitve and executive authority of the government, the commissioners being assigned separately to the direction of different departments of the municipal administration, but acting together on questions of general concern, The change is more sweeping than has been made heretofore in any State at a single stroke.In other States the cities that have passed from one system to another have been permitted to decide the question for themselves, as in New Jersey, where some of the municipalities have voted in favor of the commission plan, while others have rejected it.In Pennsylvania, however, constitue tional restrictions made it necessary that all the cities of a class should be included ot none.Tt is a notable fact that radical as this change from long established methods appears to be, it han been accomplished without serious opposition from any quarter, By all but two or three cities it was cordially desired as the result of an agitation that had been going on for some years.No law authorizing it could have heen enacted otherwise.The movement war accelerated by the experience of Pittaburg and Scranton, under a somewhat but not wholly similar system since the reduction in the number of thelr councilmen to nine and the election of three on a general ticket, The meeting at Harrishurg of representatives of the \u201cthird-c cities has done much to bring about à wheie his mother-in-law lived.$ ; 4 The blessings

a license, and another for allowing customers to gain entrance to his \u201cbar\u201d by a door that did not directly communicate with his bar.The case is an unusual one in tech-\" nical complications.The saloon- keeper is a bona-fie holder of a license, which, if appears, was granted to him for the house next door he occupies, and keeps his bar, and because he does not sell liquor in the i house designated in his license, he, is prosecuted for selling without a license.The second charge of allowing customers to enter his bar through à door not in direet commu- niatcion with the

one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a wrestling exhibition in this city.The spacious theatre was crowded from pit to orchestra.The seats about the ring on the stage were all taken and standing room was at a premium.The bout itseli was one of the best and fastest ever seen here and keen excitement prevailed throughout.It was a contest of superior skill and a riper knowledge of the game on the part of Roller pitted against the won- deriul strength and endurance of Simard.Rollers science and experience prevailed, but he had all he could do to master the sturdy French

familiar with the wrestling game and got himself into disfavor with the crowd for awarding the first fall to Roller when he did.lt was felt by many of the spectators that Simard's shoulders were not touching the mat when the decision was given, but Simard admitted to a ringside specta\u2018or that he had Interior.| quit, as he could not stand the pain which Roller was inflicting ou him with a half-nelson.Young Corbett must at one time have been a likely looking athlete, Lut to those who saw him last night he seemed to be more like a heavyweight than a lightweight.Roller started out \u2018n his usual style of kidding his opponent.There was \u2018the way in which he handled Roller when the latter had trot à dangerous \"hold, and even when the American had him in tight quarters on the \u2018mat he managed repeatedly to break away by .very force of sinew and muscle.Simard Becomes Aggressive.As the bout progressed Simard frequently assumed the aggressive snd on several occasions he had the doc- cor in trouble.Roller, however.is as skilled with his feet as he is with his hands and the way in which he would turn disadvantage intp advantage, showed that while h's hands and feet | were at work his brain was never idle.* At the end of 18 minutes in the first tussle Roller had his man on the mat, and as the crowd looked on breathless, Young Corbett slapped the doctor on the.back, awarding him the first fail.Second Bout Exciting.The fight for the first fall was exciting.but it was tame to that which preceded the second fall.For 51 minutes the two men exerted all their strength and science to secure the fall.Advantage swung from one to the other, as they fought backwards and forwards, tumbled and rolled upon the mat.Both men secured some very dangerous and punishing holds, but could not apply the final touch.Roller frequently escaped by a hair's breath, and it was only his agility and skill that saved him.Simard by this time had found one of the doctor's weak points, and when his strength was of no avail to sive him, he managed to get his ham-like hand on the doctor's nasal appendage, and whether it was through pain or care for his good looks Roller usually dropped his hold and wriggled away.At one time Simard had a foot hold on Roller and he was using up the doctor's toes so badly that the American Lad to apply all his strength to get free.Finally after 51 minutes Simard went down cn the mat, and being unable to extricate himself his shoulders were pinned to the canvas, and Roller had won tae bout.Simard, who appeared here for the first time last night, immediately became a favorite with the crowd.He has not been long in the wrestling game, and he is learning fast.With more experience and his wonderful strength he should soon become one of the best of the heavyweight grap- plers, It may be said that last night's bout was a success in every way, and too much credit cannot be given to Mr.Paquet, the Lessee of the Auditorium, for the orderly manner in which everything was carried out, FATE OF HAS-BEENS.Chicago.Dec.4\u2014\"Nick\u201d Altrock, five years ago one of the hest known pitchers in the American League, today was hustling boards

FRATERNITY.President Does Not Credit Rumor About Federal League.New York, Dec.4\u2014President DL.Fultz of the Baseball Players\u2019 Fraternity, issued à statement tonight in which he decried a report tliat a number of major league ball players, members of the Fraternity, had signed contracts to play with various clubs in the Federal League in 1914, His statement on the subject follows: \u201cI do not believe the report that a number of the players in organized ball have signed with the Federal League for the reason that 85 per cent.of the players in the four larger leagues have stated to me personally that they wouid not sign with anyone until contracts satisfactory to the Fraternity were procured, As the Advisory Board has not yet passed upon the Federal League contract and as no agreement has yet been reached with organized ball, any player who signs 8 contract with either faction at the present time will be considered to have committed an, act or hostility to the Fraternity which amounts to causing expulsion \u201cWe understand that the Federal League contract, which will be submitted to us within the next week, will comply with all our requests; if so, the Fraternity will place no obstacles in the way of the players signing when the proper time comes, if they think the move s wise one.A few of the players may have signed already, and a number may have agreed to do so when the contract is approved, but there is not the slightest doubt in the mind of any member of the Advisory Board that the players with few exceptions will temain absolutely loyal to the Frateraity, and will follow out.the plea greed asompeveral months ago.\u201d of matches to be payed for the Inter- : lish players to return to England in: ASK FOR CRITICISM AND AMENDMENTS be held

lasting little more than six years.It is difficult at this moment to appraise him, but there is no doubt that at his best he was a brilliant carsman.It would seem that the effort to reduce himself from 238 lbs.to 189 Ibs.in ten weeks proved too big a task, and that he now runs so quickly to flesh that a thorough training on his part would necessitate at least a six months\u2019 preparation.Arnst will not be thirty years of age until the 28th inst.A Giant Sculler.Paddon gained his title of Austraifan champion early this year, when he deferted Alf.Felton.Born at Evan's Head, on November 19, 1886.and barely twenty-seven years of age, he is one of the biggest men that ever sat in a boat and certainly the \u201cgreatest\u201d champion Australia has.possessed.His height is 6 ft.4 1-2 in; he weighs in condition 19 lbs, is 41 1-2 in.round the chest, and has an expansion of 6 in.He is described as a powerful and well- developed man, That Paldon has some pretentions to sculling form was self-evident when it trauspired that he had been placed in the hands of Harry Floyd, an astute judge, who had a great deal to do with tie r.se of Amst, but with whom he afterwards disagreed.Arnst.it may be mentioned never lost while advised by Floyd, a man who bas ideas and uses them.He believes in building a boat that suits a sculler's eccen- tricities\u2014if he has any \u2014 and is nat 10 in.over all\u2014Barry's are 9it.7 in, and most Australian\u2019s 9 ft.6 in\u2014 with 2 ft.8 in.inboard.Thus the Australian champion has 7 ft.2 in.leverage outboard as against Larty's 6 ft.11 in\u2014a big difference.His Career.Paddon has been on the water all his life, and is accustomed to heavy boats both on the sea and river, his occupation being the cultivation of the oyster.He won his first race at Lismore in 1910, an amateur event in club skiffs, over a mile, and altogether rowed nine of these races, including his championships, without being beaten.He was never defeated lin this class of boat, although at times giving good starts.Tn October, 1912, he joined the professionals, and sculled his fitst race at Coraki Regatta, when over a course of two miles, with 42 sec.start from Arnst, he finished second.At Broadwater a little later, with 18 sec, off Syd.Kemp, he won, whilst in April Mast on the Parramatta in the big pro fessional handicap, although unplaced in his heat, he finished so strong and hard as to gain high opinions.This he followed up defeating Felton for the Australian Championship \u2014 the man who had vanquished Hagney, Favwell and Charles Towns.In the last mail it was reported that Paddon was much freer in his movements, and was rowing a clean, powerful stroke.All is not yet plain sailing for Paddon, who most likely will be challenged by Harry Pearce.when the latter was champion and had challenged and been accepted by Barry for the World's Championship he found himself shot at by three scul- ters\u2014Felton, C.Towns and Paddon, As it would have jeopardized his chance against Barry he reluctantly fesigned his title and came to Engan GOLFERS OUTNUMBER BASEBALL PLAYERS.Over 600,000 Chased the White Pill Around Links Last Summer, New York, Dec.4\u2014Switching the calcium from the gridiron to the tees and the putting greens, one discovers the double-barreled fact that there are more golf players than baseball players in the United States today, and thet the golfing fever is sweeping through the nation with the rapidity of the plague in India.One also discovers that the 2,000,- 000 golfers, of both sexes, in this country, spend approximately $300, 000.000 a year in the pursuit of this little white ball\u2014a staggering, almost unbelievable, total, yet one which is arrived at after the compilation of the most accurate statistics from unquestionable sources.There are more very largely of golfers.New clubs are springing up each year.The memberdhip of the clubs now in ex- {stence runs from 100 to 1,000.Aversging the golfing members of each club at only 200, it means that there are 1400000 club men and women who are devotees of the great Scotch game, which, even now from the viewpoint of participation, has supplanted baseball as Americas nationat pastime.There are at the very least 600,000 persons in the country who play golf but do not belong to any clubs, They play most of their games on public links, which the big cities have established, although they often play on club finke with friends who are members of the clubs, The average golf course tent à club member must pay is $25.His dues, at the most conservative estimate, are 825.Even the most careful regular golfer will use up one ball à week, which means about 40 balls a year, J averaging the golfing year at 40 than 7,000 clubs in the country now where the membership is composed FRIDAY, DECEMBER $, 191$, pur wecks, although it very often exceeds that figure.Forty balls will cost the golfer $20 at the very least, as the most inexpensive halls are 50 cents each.Caddying charges average from SO to 75 cents for 18 holes, which means about $25 more a year.Most golfers get a new set of clubs each year at a cost between $35 and $40.But assuming that they get a new set bound by rules.Thus for Paddon, an | only every other year, means an aver- abnormal map, he ordered sculls 9 ft.' age outlay for clubs each year of about $20.000, Railroad fare to and from the club is another big item of expense.At the very lowest the average is $1 a round trip.Adding 50 cents for iu- cidental expenses of each trip and allowing one trip a week, means that the golfer doles out $60 each year for transportation.All of these figures are extremely conservative, yet they show that each club golfer spends about $175 yearly, which makes a grand total of $225,- 000.000 that the 1.400,000 club golfers spend each season.The.cost to the non-club golfer is somewhat less.He does not have to pay the club fees or for rental of the links.His transportation is coisid- erably less than the club man, who usually journeys far into the country.And he doesn't play quite as often as the club man, thus reducing by about one-third the cost of caddying and new balls, Placing the average yearly expenditure of the non-club golfer at only $75, it means that the 600,000 non- club players spend a total of $45,- 000.000 yearly.To the itmes already enumerated must be added the cost of special golf toggery.Women gollers must wear special golfing skirts end special shoes to prevent their slipping on the green.Men also must wear spiked or cleated shoes.Some club men don complete golfing attire every time they play the game.,.tL, The total spent each year by ail the golfers simply for golf togs mounts up to around $20,000,000, and brings the grand total expenditure up te the $300,000,000 mark.And American golf is only in its infancy today.It was first introœuc- ed into this country about 25 years ago.For fifteen years there was about as much interest in It as there is today in chess.Then of a sudden, the game began to jump forward in ropularity by leaps and bounds.until it has swept the country.MILLIONAIRE DEAD IN GAS-FILLED

object of winning converts.to their faith, the Mormon authorities of Alberts, who make their headquarters at Cardston, south of this city, will conduct an educational moving plc- ture campaign all over the Dominion of Canada.The object in using the pictures is to show in 3 vivid way the various stages through which Mormonism has passed., | The picture atory will begin with the supposed finding of the golden plates of the Book of Mormon, by | Joseph Smith, in New York State, | including the visit of the angel to him as he was praying.Other matters of historical interest will be the forced exodus from Missouri, the killing of Joseph and Hiram Smith by the mob at Nauvoo, Ill.the long journey of the Mormons to the Rockies and scenes connected with the settlement of the Utah territory.All the chiefs of the church, from time to time, will be represented byb living actors and President Joseph Smith and his chief councillors will appear in person.Most of the scenes will be set in the mountains neat Salt Lake City, and n call has been sent out for such prairie schooners and relics of the old days as have been preserved by the descendants o the early pioneers.Fifty trained actors will be employed to impersonate the dead leaders of the church and the pictures will cost in the neighborhood of $50.000.\u2018They will be shown on screens throughout Canada and in European countries where the church is conducting a vigorous propaganda.ORGANISATION OF MEXICO IN SIGHT SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY ON PART OF REBEL LEADERS I8 GROWING.Washington, Dec.4.\u2014Administra- tion officials are viewing with satisfaction, evidences of the growing sense of responsibility on the part of the Rebel leaders in Northern Mexico, for the protection of life and property within the territory in their possession.The State Department's request for the release of Americans held for hansom or arrested on suspicion are now receiving prompt attention at the hands of the Constitutionalist generals, and it is apparent that these officers in turn, are gradually exerting more power and imposing gieater restraint over their subordinates.Some semblance of civil authority also is beginning to appear in the Nortehrn States, and is meeting with recognition at the hands of the military leaders.Altogether, officials here see indications that a regularly organized civil government is about to be evolved from the chaotic conditions that have prevailed in that section of Mexico for the past nine months.Divided in Opinion, Tt is believed that the Constitutionalists themselves, are divided on the question of seeking formal recognition by the United States.A considerable portion of them are said to incline co the view ascribed to General Villa, that such recognition of their government in its present condition.might encourage a movement for the separation of the Northern States from the remainder of the country.\u2018The State Department so far has had no confirmation from official sources of reports that the great oil companies in the State of Vera Cruz under threats from the insurgents, have cancelled their contract obligations to supplv the Mexican Government with the crude oil necessary to operate the locomotives on the railways.Reports to the Department indicates there is caough oil already ahove ground to meet all the needs of the railroad for at least three months, and it is said there is no question as to the power or the disposition of the Huerta Government fe take forcible possession of this uel, .PLEASING THE CHILDREN, Thirteen Large Cities Will Have Community

country marked today's ses- \u2018sion of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, in tenth annual session here.All the speeches of the day, while telling in each instance of the pacticular needs of a certain state or section in waterway improvement, breathed a spirit of broad na-: tionalism, the declaration being made by one speaker after another that he desired to see the country as a whole benefit from government river and baroor improvement, Governor Glynn, of New York, one of the principal speakers, said all New York asked of the government was \u201creceiprocity\u201d which in the past had not been extended.\u201cFor our $200.- 000,000 spent upon our waterways for country,\u201d he aded, \u201cwe ask the United States to dig a deeper channel in the upper Hudson.When we built

FRAUDULENT CLAIMS OF COAL MINE OWNERS NOW IN DISPUTE.Seattle, Wn., Dec.4.\u2014The register of the land office at juncau, Alaska, decided on Nov.28 that 21 coal claims of the so-called McAlpine group of two hundred on Cook Inlet, be held for cancellation because of fraud.The promoters of the McAlpine group, Wilbur W.McAlpine, Albert H.Roehm, George W.Ross, Frank D.Andrus, Arthur L.Holmes and Mc- Curdy C.Lebeau, all of Detroit, Mich., afd John M.Bushnell, of Chicago, were indicted in Detroit on March 6, 1911, for conspiracy to defraud the United States.The defendants have not been brought to trial.The claimants were mostly clerks and stenographers, employed by large corporations in Detroit, who are alleged to have signed powers of attorney and relinquishment when required by their employes to do so.The govérnment alleges that the Cook Inlet Coal Fields Company, which filed on the McAlpine lands soon after 1900, sold millions of dollars worth of stock in the company, among the investors being John D.Rockefeller and the late H.H.Rogers.This company sent north, the government charges, a number of grading engines, dump carts and street cars, and built the uninhabited town of Homer, with saloons, darce halls, hotels, etc, in order that pictures might be taken for the prospectus used by sellers of stock.The machinery and other furnishings were brought to Seattie last week and the town is now abandoned.The Michigan-Alaska Development Company, founded by McAlpine and his associates, bought all the property of the Cook Inlet Fields Company in 1907 from the receiver of the latter corporation for $10.000.McAlpine had located the eoal land for himself and associates the previous year, The coal on the claims is lignite of poor quality, according to government experts.Charges on file against the other MeAlpine claimants allege failure to comply with laws as to development of claims and application for patent.B.C.GOOD ROADS POLICY.Victoris, B.C,

EARNINGS OF £ P.À ARE] GREATER IN THE WEST THAN IN-THE EAST.Ottawa, Dec.4.\u2014Mr.James Bicknelly &.C., counsel for the Dominion Gover W ient, began his argument in the Western freight rates case this morning, and had not concluded whes sdjouroment was taken this evening, Mr.Bicknell, counsel for the Government, began to read some new figures to the board, whereupon F.H, Chrysler, K.C., and G.W.Beatty, counsel for the C.P.R.began to challenge the figures, and Mr, Bicknell retorted: \u201cEither we are to be played fast and loose with, or we are to take and abide by such figures as we lave\u201d He then proceeded to give some figures from the annual statement of the C.P.R,, in 1911, to show that the West is paying a greater share of freight rates than the Eart, taking into consideration the amount of capital invested in each section, that is in East and West.Mr.Bicknell eubrnitted figures to show that in 1911 the net passenger earnings East of Fort William, on the C, P.R.were $4,000,000, and the same amount in the West, while in the same year, the Eastern lines yielded $6,000000 in net freight eaen- ings, while the Western lines yielded $19,000,000, or $13,000,000 more than the East.In 1912 the net freight earnings in the West on the C.P.R.lines were $23,400000 against $8,000,000 in the East and last year the net passenger receipts in the East were $4,200,000, or $200,000 less than in the West.Counsel made it clear that these figures were accurate, since they were taken from the annual report of the C.P.R, West Bearing East's Burden.\u201cIn looking into threse figures which show that the net earnings in the East are less than in the West, it is obvious that the West is called on to bear the burden of the East,\u201d asserted Mr.Bicknell., \u201cIf the East is not able to bear its proportion of expense, the West is made to do it, and, consequently, the West is paying a greater share than cighteen per cent: the amount it should pay towards the general expenses, on the amount of capital actually invested.Small Investment In West \u201cIf we could get accurate figures of capital invested in the West,\u201d continued Mr.Bicknell\u201d they would prove that the C, P.R.has a very small sum invested, when the grant of $25,000,000, the 25,000,000 acres of land, and lines constructed in the West by the Government is taken into consideration.Government counsel stated he wished to make it clear that, he did not suggest that the people who were the pioneers and who invested their money when they were uncertain of returns, should be entitled to the prescribed ten per cent.but the commission should see that no more than this 10 per cent.is paid.- Cost of Construction.After making allowances for the value of the land sold by the C, P.Rand the subsidies it received, the net cost of constructing the Western lines was approximately $52,000,000, explained Mr.Bicknell.Land sold up to the present time had netted $90.open and there still remains six million acres of the twenty-five million originally given to the company, to be sold.The figures applied only to the Western section.Counsel went on to emphasize that one of the chief factors in fixing the rates was the cost of service, and the only question for the board to decide, he said, was whether Mr.Muller's calculations are approximately correct.\u201cMy own contention is that they are, from the figures given to us.\u201d F, H.Chrysler, K.C., counsel for the C.P.R., put in a vehement denial.Then Issac Pitblado, K.C, for the Winnipeg Board of Trade, came to Mr.Bicknell's assistance and reminded the board that in the Vancouver rate case, the C.P.R.had put in an exhibit, based on a segregation of the cost of service.Mr.Bicknell persisted the passenger and freight services must be segregated on some principle or other, and again urged that the C, P, R.is collecting all the peuple will pay.\u201cAll the traffic wall bear\u201d submitted Chairman Drayson quizzically.\u201cThe difficulty is to get the C.P.Rto make any reductions in their rates\u201d returned Mr.Bicknell.This is probably because there is yet no effective competition.The only way that the people can seek redress is to come to this board and ask it to devise some system which will not create excessive profits for the Company, Two Former Reductions.Chairman Drayton pointed out that on two occasions the railways had agreed to a reduction in rates, when the Manitoba Government had entered into a certain agreement with the Canadian Northern and when the Dominion Government bad made a contract with the C.P.R., regarding the Crows Nest Pass line.\u201cNeither of these agreements touched class rates, but commodity rates only,\u201d declared Mr.Pitblado, \u201cThe Manitoba agreement touched all classes of rates,\u201d returned the Chairmen.When adjournment was made at 5 o'clock, Mr.Bicknell had not concluded his argument.after a day's segsion.It looks as if the case

bonds, $1,822,- 000.Boston, Dec.4\u2014The market was very encouraging today.London came lower and there was considerable short selling on.the theory that the rally was over,\"but about noon new buying came iu,and prices advanced to above yesterday's close.North Butte and Gramhy were both notably strong among the coppers and the whole situation in the local market looks better.Chicago, Dec.4\u2014There was a better feeling in the wheat market, with public sentiment getting more friend ly to the buying side.There was one Argentine cable here saying they had frost in the past three days and called estimated surplus nt 84,000,000.It looks as though this crop was in for further reduction and a deterioration as to quality.If it turns out that way the demand for our winter wheat and the Canada spring weld continue very heavy for mixing purposes, as well as for general need.We think the tendency of the market is to work higher.Corn has shown material strength today, under leadership of the December delivery, Shorts in the latter ran the price up to 1 cent over May before the longs poured out enough to dampen down the fires.New buying of May was fairly good.Small receipts of corn and a price of 80 cents for old corn at St.Louis helped the bullish sentiment.Oats followed other grains.December delivery, however, taking a prompt, early and decided spurt on its own account directly after the opening.December shorts still anxious, primary arrivals limited, feeding demand excellent and Argentine reports that the crop is thin, particue larly in the South.- err LONDON MARKETS.London, Dec.4\u2014Raw sugar, centrifugal, 10s 34: muscovado, 8s 9d.Reet sugar.Dec., 93 2%d.Caleutta linseed, Dec.-Jan, 45s 6d.Linseed oil, 23s 104:d.Sperm oil, £30.Petroleum, American refined, 8%d;
