Bullet Wounds\u2014Young Man Named Remillard \u2018Arrested for Alleged Crime\u2014Unwritten Law Alleged To Have Been Motive \u2019 A man named Lucien Morisette, aged 40, an employee of the Intercolonial Railway, was shot to death shortly before midnight last night and his body now lies at Moisan\u2019s Morgue, Levis, with two bullet wounds, while Romeo Remillard, of Wolfe street, Bienville, who is charged with the shooting, is now a prisoner in the cells at Central Police Station on Laurier avenue.It is said that Joseph Remillard, the father of the prisoner, and the accused himself, returned to their home about eleven o'clock last night to find three men in the house with the mother.one of the fleeing men dropped to the street and lay there, The first intimation that the Levis police received of the shooting was when they received a telephone call after midnight notifying them that a man \u2018was Jyimg on Wolfe street, in Bienville, and was in danger of being frozen to death.A patrol was sent out to investigate and found that the man two bullet was dead and that his body had been pierced by wounds.Dr.Romeo Roy, of Levis, was called, but only to confirm the fact that the man was dead.Coroner Jolicoeur was then notified by Dr.Roy, of the shooting, and ordered the body of the victim removed to the morgue of Mr.Charles Moisan.The Levis police then investigated the case and placed Romeo Remillard under arrest, while it is said to be probable that the father may also be taken into custody.The names of the other two men who were in the house with the victim could not be ascertained by the police up to the time of going to press.Lucien Morissette, the victim, is said to be an unmarried man, and well-known in Levis, .The domestic relations of the Remillard family are said to have been strained for years.The father enjoys a good reputation, and for many years was a foreman in the employ of the late firm of Carrier & Laide, while he was later employed by the Davie Shipbuilding Company.It is said that the husband and wife had been separated on several occasions but had always settled matters and lived together again, The scene of the shooting was in the section of Wale street which lies in Bienville, a suburb of Levis, and as a result very few people were aware of the tragedy.Even neighbors living close by who had retired before the shooting occurred were not awakened by the shots, As the case, thus far, does not appear to be a complicated one, it is thought that Coroner Jolicoeur will hold an inquest into the matter within two days and that then all the details of the deplorable event will be brought out.It is not known whether the accused made any statement to the police or not when arrested, but he went to the station voluntarily, while the father remained at his home, ANOTHER VERSION, Another version of the shooting is that Lucien Morissette, the victim, had never entered the Remillard home, but had * merely gone to the door to inquire for another address when he was shot down.According to this latter version, Morissette, who was employed as a telegrapher for the I.C.R., left the office at ten o'clock last night in company with two other telegraphers named Guimont and Belanger.They had been invited to the home of a fellow-worker named Baker who resided on Wolfe street, and, not knowing where he lived, they stopped to inquire at the Remillard home where a light was burning, , Morissette walked up to the house, while his two companions waited on the sidewalk.As soon as the door was opened they heard two shots and immediately ran away.When they returned later they found that Morissette had been killed.Lucien Morissette was well-known in Levis and was noted as a first-class telegtapher, as well as a faithful employes of the 1.C, Railway.During the war he enlisted in the 22nd Battalion and attained the rank of Captain.He was overseas three years, and had s splendid record in the army, The father is alleged to have been intoxicated and, it is said, ordered the son to shoot one of the men.The three men immediately took to flight and the son picking up a high-power rifle followed them to the street, where he fired two shots at the fugitives.After the second shot A MONTREAL MAN \u2018MADE PRESIDENT R.A.Ross Inaugurated At 34th Annual Meeting of the Engineering Institute Montreal, Que.,

JAMES TILLEY 15 CONCLUDED Death Caused by Collision of Second Section of Train with the First ALL ORDERS OBEYED Jury Found Trainmen Carried Out Instructions According to Regulations \u2014\u2014 North Bay, Ont.Jan.27\u2014(By Canadian Press) \u2014The inquest into the death of James Tilley, one of the victims of the C.P.R.train wreck, near Corbell on Sunday morning.was concluded sh@rtly before seven o'clock this evening.The jury found that all the trainmen concerned obeyed orders and carried out instructions according to rallroad regulations The verdict was that the death of Mr.Tilley was caused by the second section of number one train colliding with the first section, which was stalled at the time.It was recommended that the C.P.R.Company hereafter run their trains on the block system, that is, that the trainmen of each following train, before leaving a station at which a tele, ah operator is employed, shall have the assurance that the preceding train has left the station next further on.The only additional witnesses examined today were Conductor England and Freman Gleason, of No.2 section.Their evidence brought out nothing new.Were Winnipeg Family, Winnipeg, Man., Jan.27\u2014J.Tilley and his wife, of Winnipeg, were killed in the C.P.R.wreck at Corbeil, Ont, Bunday and probably their child.Word was received by a brother, Alfred Tilley, Winnipeg, definitely establishing the death of J.Tilley and his wife.It is feared that the Tilley child is one of victime who remain unidentified.In the list of victims published Monday the destination of J.Tilley was given as Vancouver.B.C.Many survivors from the wreck arrived in Winnipeg at noon today, JANUARY 2 - CAGE HEARING Final Stage Reached With Argument of Companies\u2019 Counsel Ottawa, Ont.Jan.37,\u2014(By Can.Press) \u2014The final stage In the Lelugraph rutes case was reached this afternoon when W.H.Tilley, K.Ccqunsel for the telegraph com- ew, opened his argument, which will probably conclude when the & resumed tomorrow.+ Mr, Tilley commenced his argument following the examination of Mr.C.E.Friend, comptroler of the Canadian National ltailweys.His ne of reasoning was calculated to ow that the Board of Kailwa) mmissioners had authority to re late telegraph rates in Eastern nada notwithstanding the provisions of any special statute and that the Board was in a position tu increase the twenty five cent rate & present obtaining In Ontariv and Quebec Before Mr, Tilley started speak: ing Mr.J.E.Walsh, Solicitor fui the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Asso riution, made a brief statement to the effect that the organization which he represented was pre- eared to leave the case in the hands of the Board.The Association as.surfed that the telegraph companies were in the same position with regard to increased costs of opern- tion as all other organizations.He directed the attention of the Bourd to the increases asked for in the Maritime Provinces, which he thought would bear looking into.After the completion of Mr.\u2018Til ley 2 argument tomorrow morning it is probable that Mr.H.J.Bymington, representing the Winnipeg Board of Trade, will present the case for those oppused to the increases, The Winnipeg delegation seems very determined in their decision to probe the telegraph companies\u2019 condition to the bottom and to understand fully the reasons for the ap- Members of the delega- that something in the way of advances may be requested to pus the companies on a basis permitting of good and constant service for the public, but beyond what is required in reason, together with a fair return on the several investments they are not prepared to go.Mr.Tilley whose argument was of a rather technical nature, dealt at some length with the agreement many of them with bandaged hesdagunich was entered into between the or severs cuts and scratches.; Maude Copley 11 years of age, wbo has come all the way from Engtand alone was among the passengers who arrived today.She ls going to Victoris.B.C., to join relatives.She was thrown through a window and received cuts on her face, Official Statement.Montreal, Que., Jan.37\u2014The fol- fowing official statement was issued tonight by the Canadian Pacific Railway in connection with the train wreck near North Bay last Sunlay: \u201cThe derailed lccomotive has been lifted and no additional bodles have been found.It has, however, since transpired through inquiries from re- atives in the West, that Mr.Tilley, one of the victims, was accompanied by his wife and child.The bodies of the two children removed from the wreckage were presumed to be the children of Mrs.Peden.It has since been found that one of these bodies is not one of a Peden child and ia therefore presumably the child of Mra.Tilley, whose body has now been almost with certainty identified, | It appears, therefore, that one child's body ia still misaing and the neighborhood is again being carefully searched.\u201cDelay.in identification is due te the fact that the parents travelling with the children were in both cases fatally injured.The patients in the hospital are reported as all doing well.\u201d A despatch received tonight at Canadian Pacific Rallway headquar- tera n~re states that the othër childs body han been found in the debris near the wrecked engine.It is be.liexad that this body in that of the other I'aden child.This brings the total Kumber of dead in the train wreck to nine.RINN CHALLENGES ntreal telégraph company and the Great North Western Telegraph Company, when the former was taken over by the latter company.tHe was strongly of the opinion tha: there was no good argument in this agreement or the statutes which made a 25 cent rate compulsory in Eastern Canada.At any rate the Railway Act, he stated, gave Board of Railway Commissioners jurisdiction over ail rates, whether controlled by special statuies or not and therefore the Board was in a position to revise rates if it saw fit.He cited portions of the statute in support of his contention.The examination of Mr.C.KE.Friend, comptroller of the Canadian National Railways, by Mr.R.H.M.Temple, Bulicitor for the Government Nystem, and also by Mr.Smyingion, was partially confined to questions on taken at other hearings.AN ATTACK ON ADMIRAL SIMS Democrat Says He Betrayed Confidence\u2014Should be Dis

Kaiser\u2019s Erstwhile Pleasure Yacht Little Worse for the Long Struggle Halifax, N.8.Jan.27.\u2014(By Can.Press)\u2014At a few minutes after nine o'clock tonight the United States er me Minimum, 2; Maximum, 24 * Less army transport Powhattan docked hers after nearly a fortnight's vicissitudes during which the eyes of the United Flates and Canada have been continually upon her.The erst-| while pleasure yacht of the ex-Em- beror of Germany did not present! much evidence of hardship and indeed looked little worse for her long struggle with the waves.The crew were also little affected by their adventures.There were very few cases of sicknes and only one man was in a condition that) could be called serious.The crew were taken to Camp Hill Hospital by the local branch of the lied Cross.Members of the crew had no harrowing stories to tell.They were rather inclined to reticence, but stated that they had in some degree ruftered from cold.They ail thought that the worst chapter of the l\u2019ow- hattan\u2019's adventures was on last Sunday after she had broken adrift from the Lady Laurier.The ship rolled helpiessiy and violentiy the whole of that day while her decks were drenched with biting drifts of spray which froze as they fell.Contradictory messages were received today here from the Powhattan.The first word came at nine v'elock when it was stated that rhe was 37 miles off and making gocd speed.At one o'clock C.Il.Harvey, agent of the Marine and Fishcries Department received a wireless stating that the tow was six miles off the lightship and that a strong southeasterly wind was rising.The message added that the two tugs were barely holding the tow and that more assistance was needed immediately.The tug Crulser put out and also the United Btates tug King: fisher.Later in the afternoon a flash came that the passed Chebucto Head and at 7 P.M.thers was no longer any doubt of her safe arrival.The first announcement of the Powhattan's coming was a faint and ghostly blowing of horns in the distance.Then the ships loomed into sight.Between the Acushnet and the Omipee there was a long gap of blackness upon which the searchlights suddenly fell, revealing the Powhattan.Colonel Griswold of the United Ntates Army Transport Service, sent out a tug with men to re- hausted.However, they refused to be relieved.Captain Nandail of the Powhattan reports that none of his crew is injured and that only three of them are slightly ill.It will not be neces- |xary to remove any of them to the [Roma The American cutter Omsipee, had a miraculous

Washington, D.C., Jan.37\u2014Peace treaty compromise negotiations, hovering on the verge of dissolution, wers given today a now forty-eight hour lease on life.But there was nothing in the development which changed the pessimistic view of the Renate leaders as to the final outcoms.The Democrats, replying to the Republican refusal to compromise on Article Ten and the Monroe Doctrine, charged at a stormy session ef the bi-partisan compromise conference that Republican leaders had suddenly changed front after most of the conferess had consented to an Article Ten compromise in definite form.To this the Republicans opposed & categorical denial, declaring no one at all had agreed to the proposed compromise draft.After two hours of wrangling, during which the Democrats threatened to transfer the whole subject to the open Senate, the conference agreed to meet again Thursday in another effort to bring the negotiations to a successful conclusion.A few Henators professed to sse some ray of hope in the situation but to most of the leaders the outlook appeared far from promising.HERR ERZBERGER 13 VERY WEAK Bullet Firmly Lodged in Splintered Part of the Shoulderblade \u2014 Berlin, January 27\u2014An X-ray examination of the wound suffered by Mathias Ersberger, Vice-Prem- fer and Minister of Finance, who was shot yesterday by Oltwig von Hirschfeld as he was leaving the criminal courts building, shows that the bullet splintered part of Herr Erzberger's shoulderbiade, where it is firmly lodged.The wound is extremely painful, with much bleeding.Herr Erzberger has no fever, but is very weak.Prof.Flesch, who is attending Erzberger, has informed Germania that he does not think that the re- oval of the bullet from the patent\u2019s shoulder was advisable at the present.The wounded man\u2019s condition demanded the greatest care for the next few days, he maid, even if thers was no immediate danger, Hirschfeld in the course of his examination today expressed the opin- fon that Germany must be freed of Erxberger.He attended the Erz- berger-Helfferich trial, he declared, to get a clear view of Erzberger's Activities and convinced himself that Erzberger was pursuing selfish aims in placing the interests of the Empire in second place.Therefore he decided to carry out a long considered plan of making the Minister \u201charmiess The prisoner denied that he intended to kill Erzberger, and declared that he intentionally had aimed at the Minister's breast Instead of his head.Continuing Herschfeld said his parents had no knowledge of his intention to shoot Erzberger, but that he wrote them after his arrest, saying: \u201cI succeeded in shooting Minister Erzberger with the hope that he would retire from the: Government.My life is at an end, but } depart with the consciousness of having been of use to my people.Hearty greotings.\u201d Ersberger has appointed Under.Secretary Mosel as his deputy, according to the Lokal Anzeiger.The Erzberger-Heltferich trial has

Come To End Within a Few Months Time London, Jan.27\u2014(By the Associated Press) \u2014George Nicoll Barnes, Minister without portfolio, has resigned from the Cabinet.The significance of his resignation lies In the fact that it will likely cause the final withdrawal of Labor from the Coalition Government.When the Labor Party, after the armistice, called upon the Labor Ministers to quit the Government, Mr.Barnes elected to remain, on the ground that it was his duty to remain until peace was ratified.The Food Ministry will come to an ond within & few months, and it is reported that George H.Roberts, the only important Laborite now in the Government, will follow Mr.Barnes.There are rumors tonight that there will be a reconstruction of the Cabinet, but this is unlikely, at least, until after the Paisley election, in which ex-Premier Asquith is à candidate, the result of which will be unknown till towards the end of February.In conference with the reports that Mr.Lloyd George is preparing a new constructive programme for the coming parliamentary session calculated to attract voters who are drifting from the Coalition to Labor, it is, interesting to note that in the election address issued tonight by Mr.McKead, Unionist candidate for Paisley, he declares against nation- aliation of industries and against intervention in Russia, but is in favor of equal pay for men and women for equal work.FOREIGN EXCHANGE a1 ILL GOING DOWN Another Collapse of Sweeping Dimensions Attended Local Dealings on \"Change Today New York, N.Y., Jan.27\u2014An other collapse of more sweeping dimensions attended local dealings in foreign exchange today.Rates on all the important European countries sagged to new levels of discount car- trying along remittances to the Scandinavian centers heretofore immune.Reasons other than those already advanced were lacking to explain the adverse movement.It was pointed out, however, that the reaction had gained further impetus from the inability of exporters to finance their shipments from this country because of the rigid attitude maintained by the Federal Reserve Board.In connection with the policy of the Central Bank to eliminate \u2018\u2019unessential loans\u201d it was assumed that banka in this country had been advised to curtail credits involved in foreign purchases, This, it was stated.did not apply to such credits as were made for purposes of relief or succor to the peoples of devastated Europs but rather as a measure to minimize speculation in exporte, Today's low rate of $3.58 in ster- ting exchange against the par of 34.36 6-8, represented a discount of 17 percent.The low par Is rate of 13.02 francs to the American dollar implied a discount of sixty percent.Helgian francs at 13.62 were at a discount of sixty three percent and Italian lire at 15.14 were almost 70 percent under par.TRAVELLING EXPENSES MUST BE RETURNED Ontario Supreme Court Decide Farmers\u2019 Convention Party Must Pay Own Way xi

were the up- Per waters of the St.Lawrence River deepened to admit ships of ocean draught, Mr.Fleming declared.Wheat could be shipped at & saving of five cents a bushel and the $5.000,000 to $7,000,000 gained each year thereby, would bs suffi.clent to pay Interest on the gigantic project, he sald.The cost of deepening the St.Lawrence system would be between 3100,000,000 and $150,000,000 he intimated.Besides the benefit of opening up the Great Lakes to ocean traffic, electrical power developed through the project would pay for the entire cost of construction.Mr.Fleming predicted.The United States was pledged to 0 into the scheme on the basis of 50 percent of the cost of building and maintenance and the cost tn Canada would not be a debt incurred, but a investment that would pay more and more each year he argued.RURRNHNUHHERNNES 18 SHIPPING MOVEMENTS & Cleared from St.John, N.R., Jan.27.: Stra.Fedora and Glenshearn for Antwerp, Steamer Arrivals, Jan.27.: Mongola at Hamburg

these figures representing the actual contriba- tion of the foreign element to our asylums at the pres- emt timo.It may, and no doubt will, cost a great deal of money to create an adequate expert inspection staff bus no mossy could be speat to better advantage, quite apart from the certainty that it will be largely offset by reduced expense for the maintenance of asylums and kisdrod insututions.It may, and no doubt will, tend to chook the tide of immigration into this country but is is infinitely preferably that we should continue » small group of healthy-minded, healthy-bodied peo- plo than that wo should become à large group permeated with mental and physical disease.For many centuries, until comparstively recent years, Inmnity was regarded ns a divinely ordained af- fiction and then as one that admitted of uo care.Today scientific vesearches have demonstrated that in many instances it can be completely cured, while in many others it can be so arrested as to permit of a nseful happy life, in the same way as tuberculosis can bo arrested.In the trestment of insanity or fecble-mindednees, suitable surorundings play an important part and hero again we have travelled far from the torture houses of the Victorian period that wero calculated to drive n person mad if he was not so already.Just as Dickens has placed on record for all time the squalid Alth and criminal abuses rampant In the prisons and orphanages of his day.66 wo must turn to the \u201cHard Cash\u201d of Charles Read for a terrifying but faithful ploture of earlier \u201cmadhouses\u201d.Wide as their difference io from the asylums of today, It is likely to be scarcely less wide than the difference of the latter from the psychiatric hospitals of tomorrow.Whether we turn to the criminal courts, to the rhool-boume of to the factory, there is scarcely a tinman Institution to which the new science of mental ryriène is not destined tu fend bencliclent ald, nid tmarcover of which this, sur time is sorely in need, As any society becomes more artificiaily complex, as it deus farther away from nature, the craving for pervons stimulation becomes Intensified and mental force in weakened, if not completely broken down.Home co tamil life in now a thing of the past and individuals are no longer capable of amusing them- solves\u2014they must he amused.Hence the vogue of the rrotion picture thentre, Uw cabaret, the hockey match aud ail the thousand forms of nerve destroying excitement which, however imperceptibly, cannot fall to exert a deteriorating influence upon public mentality, Against these pathological conditions the alienlst or ucurolozist can make onty slow headway, If at sll, but it is all the more desirable on that account that faci- litlen for the treatment of insanity and fecble-minded- ncee should be repdercd as perfect as possible, UNCRUSILED MILITARISM, Some startling and very suggestive statistics regarding the present armed mrength of Germany, to which the attention of the Chronicle has heen drawn by Mr.Donald MacMaster, K.C.M.P., are contained in ® recent issue of the London Times These figures are described editorially by the \u201cThunderer\u201d as suthentic and worthy of serious examination.When, in the middle of November Inst, the same newspaper estimated the total number of men under arms in Germany at some 700,000 officers and men it was accused of exaggeration.So far from exaggerating, however, the above estimate was under the mark, since revised figures show that the actual number escoeds one million men.Of this number some 400.000 belonx tn the Regular Army, and in addition there are some 12,000 land forces attached to the Navy.These 413,000 men are.nominally at any rate, under the control of the Federal Ministry of Defence, and have sinco August been reduced from a strength exceeding half a million.Besides these Regulars, there are four other important military organisations in Germany.There are, first, the Public Safety Police, consisting of from 40,000 to 80,000 men, recruited mainly from officers and nou- commissioned offices of the old German Army, There are also the Emergcucy Volunteers, numbering from 130,000 to 200,000 wen, which aro organised ! ont » militia basis and are affliated to the nearest units * of the Regular Army.In addition there are the Civic i Guards, whose numbers arc stimated at from 300,000 ; to 400,000.And lastly there are the Technical I:mer- gency Volunteers, numbering from 30,000 to 40,000 men, trained to secure the continuance in emergency of certain services vital to the life of the community, This lam foros is closely associated with the Civio Guards.The mame man may bo a member both of the Olvic Guards and of the Technical Volunteer Forve, Mut a Technical Volunteer cannot also belong to the Emergency Volunteers or Miliua, These four volunteer organisations are under the Ministry of the Interior, Federal or Provincial, and thelr avowed object is ww maintain onder in times of Aomestic disturbance.But they are military in character and are quite distinct from the civil police.Even the Civic Guards have machine-gbns at their disposal the proportion in sume cases being as high as five machine-guns per hundred men\u2014and, if all do not Garry arms, they have all arme accessible to them in emergency.It is therefore no saaggeration to my that the total number of armed men in Germany, if the emergency arises, will exceed à million.The total wsumber of men serving in the British Army on, Decembor 1 last wae 485,000.While the Treaty was not yet tn force, the million [F- CHITIN 12 ~r oan per annum: payable in advance.Advertiseinsats: 18).now that it is fully ratified #-will be Germany's duty within three months to reduce thelr number by four- fifthe It has taken Germany three momths to reduce her Regular Army from the half million of Angust last to 460,000, and all the time & great militia and volun.tor army has been forming at & rate far exoceding that of the reduction in the Regular Armyfor Germany, aud it is necessary, as out, that 8 very sharp cye should Be kept on these new volunteer orgmnisations.They are more dangerous both to the dumestic peace of Germany and to the peace of ber neighbors than even the Regular Army.Organisations like the Emergency Volunteers and the Civio Guards are à standing temptation to the lenders of military reaction precisely beoauss they are valun- tary and wad to attract people with common political views.! The danger to the stability of the State is now far greater from the old military party than frems the Spartacists.Nor will s German Army under its old chiefs coase to be dangerous to its neighbors because It is labelled with fancy names On the contrary, the chief lesson of the war was that there is mo hard sad tast line to be draws between what ie military amd what is civilian.What makes the difference fs not the name or the details of the organisation, but the spirit of those who control it.It any Power ever secks ia the future to de what Germany did in this war, it will not be by the same methods, and what we must be on our guard against in our enemies is not » vast accumulation of compulsory levies, but some adaptation of olvil organisation to the purposes of war.That is why the Allies must regard with especisl suspicion the volunteer organizations that are hereim described.A regular army can be watched and controlled far more easily than these formations which masquerade as voluntary asosciations of citizens for the preservation of internal order.The Canadian Railroader Weekly continues to receive warm support from industrial workers im its vigorous campaign for the appointæsent of a tari board with » representative of labor on the commission.In recent issues it has published the names of no less than 791 labor councils and unions which bave \u201cdo- bated the question of » tariff board and pronounced in ita favor\u201d; and in its issue of December 27 it gave the names of 73 additional sssociations to whom the tarif board \u201cis highly desirable.\u201d

happy disposition endearod him to sll who came within its range of influence.There was always something of the boy about his love of fun, his fondness for jokes, his story-telling, his dolight in fishing.He belonged to the Joseph Choate type of able lawyers, the genial human natare type.But with all his sunniness he was & prodigious worker and the work be did was mostly of the constructive kind.His handiwork was always good.It was of the kind not etmply good enough to bear the test of litigation, but better still, to insure against litigation.In rallway work he was particalarly strong, and some of the most fundamental rallway agreements and legislation are of his drafting.Ilis death in a serious loss to the legal profession and to the financial and commercial bodies with which he was connected, whether as director or legal adviser.He might have been still more conspicuous In the affairs of his time than he waa, for he was recognized as & man Of very great weight as a citizem.Though he would not accept nomination for a seat in Parilnment, which wonld undoubtedly have opened the way to the Cabinet, he used his influence for what he be- lleved to be his country\u2019s good at a critical time In its history.He came out in 1911 against the Reclprocity pact, and with him 17 other prominent Liberals of Toronto, and hosts of others were turned by his leadership.It has deen said that Mr.Lash declined knighthood.\u2014rre re THE FINAL PHASE.(london Express) Figures have been issued with official anthority during the past few days showing in eue

Through To Quebec Should the Government ice-breaker Montcalm receive orders to come to Quebec, she will have a tough job to break up the ice formation west of this port A nolld ice bridge has formed across the river between the worth and west shores at Point à Platon, west of the Quebec Bridge.This means that in a few days the river will be completely frozen over from the Quebec Bridge to Montreal, and indicates a Iate spring for the shipping interests at Montrepl, unless the Montcalm comes to Quebec and starts in to break up the ice formation with the wsistance of the Lady Grey.The

Recital given by Serge Prokofieff, the noted Russian artist, fast evening n the Columbus Hall, under the direction of Mr.J.A.Gauvin was well attended, the large audience being a most representative one, especially in regard to those who delight in hearing favorite classical pieces interpreted by noted musical celebrities, and in this respect these were not disappointed in the performance given by Mr.Prokofieff, who was accorded enthusiastic applause at the conclusion of each of the numbers that figured on a well selected program which waa delightful in every wawy.The program began with Bach's \u201cFifth French Suite G.Major,\u201d which Mr.Prokofieffl played in a manner that displayed ail its melody and sweetness.In the Ieethoven dances his interpretation was brillant and charmed his audience, which was enraptured by the rendition of \"Pictures from an Exhibition,\u201d by Moussorgsky, in which Mr Prokofieff brought cut with rare rhythm and deliberation, and was obliged to respond to an insistent encore, in which he repeated \u201cBallet de Poussins dans laurs coques.\u201d The fourth number consisted of compositions of the artlet himself.The aclertions included, Prelude, Marche, Etude, Gavotte and Sugges- \u2018en Diabolique, which were rendered with excellent tone.The Gavotte and Marche being especially tuneful and fascinating and in res- punse to an encore he played another of his own compositions.Another success Was gained in the two preludes \u201cG sharp minor\u201d and (3, minor,\u201d by Rachmaninofl, which were splendidly executed, The program concluded with the rendition of another of Mr, IProkofiefl's compositions \u201cThird Sonata, A.minor\u201d which guined well-deserved applause.Mr.Prokofieft's throughout played very distinctly and deliverately and never attempted to be in any way extreme in his interpretation of his numbers.It may bs added that arhile the audience was large as well as ap precistive one, it could have been larger, particularly as Mr.J.A.Gauvin makes lt & point to give Quebec inusic-luvers the benefit of :he best talent it is possib.e to pro- ure.WINTER SPORTS.See John Darlington\u2019s advertisement

from the Province of Quebec.Abbe Maxime Fortin, chaplain of catholic unions, defended the attitude of the workingmen.Hon.J.EB.Caron, Minister of Agriculture, said that the workingmen at thelr convention would had taken a fairer attitude had they not only asked for the prohibition of the export of foodstuffs, but the export of cement as well.He said that the labormen had simply condemned the farmers because they were hostile to them.They were hostile to the milkmen because milk cost 16 cents & quart, but they forgot that the milkmen got up at 3 c\u2018ulock in the morning to attend to

Trade and ELEVATORS YET Between Mr.J.T.Ross and The following are coples of & correspondence between the President Hon.Mr.J.D.Reid, Minister of Railways, which will be found of interest inasmuch as they apply to the grain trade of Canads, and the shipping of grain for export through American ports.The letter forwarded by Mr.J.T.Ross on January 26th, deals With the situation in detail, and the reply of the Minister of Railways takes exception to the former's statement that it le profitable to carry wheat to Winnipeg by Government Railway: Quebec, Jan.30, 1920 | Hou.J.D.Reld, \u201cbody\u201d Minister of Railways, Ottawa, Ont.| Dear Bir.\u20141 am instructed by the Council of the Quebec Board of Trade to draw your attention, and te ask you to draw the attention of the Cabinet to the alarming result\u2019 of the absences of proper railway terminal facilities at Canadian sen- .ports.You will no doubt remember that | the Quebec Board of Trade has repeatedly urged the Government, | since 1912, by correspondence and dy delsgations to complete the Nationa) Transcontinental Railways by providing grain elevator storage for, ten miillon bushels at each of the ports of Quebec, Halifax and St | John\u2014Montres| being already fairly provided for\u2014together with the ne- | cessary nteamship berths to keep, theses elevators employed.This has not been done.Instead of doing so, the Government has built a large elevator at Port Colborne, which je more or less tributary to New York, and the elevator storage at the head of the Great Lakes and in the interfor has been increased to such an extent, that about 89 p.c.of the elevator storage 1s now situated on the Great Lak and in the interior, and less than | 20 p.c.at our seaports.The result has been, and it could not, for this reason, be otherwise, \u2014 because $0 will not go into 20,\u2014 that, as Senator Bennett recently, stated in Parliament, 50 p.c.of our | western grain trade, à trade which was our great inducement for going \u2018 to the enormous expenditure of | building three transcontinental rail- | ways, goes to New York for export At a public meeting held at St John, on the 10th instant, it was stated that on account of the failure to extend the grain conveyors to the new berths, twenty-three ships had been diverted from ft John, and that eleven large cargo steamers are now anchored in and off the! harbor of &t.John, waiting to get berths.I am sure you must realize and the Government must realize that\u2018 this position 1s nothing less than a calamity forthe trade of the country, which calls for imraediate action on the part of the Government.Although you yourself have proved by actual operation that it is profitable to carry wheat all rail from | Winnipeg to Quehec by the Gav-: ernment railway for three cents per, bushel cheaper than the Lake and\u2019 real, we understand that not bushel of wheat has come by that | road for export uring the reason | of 1919.It has been asserted that the principal reason \u2018hich has enabled New York to divert our wes.| tern trade is that marine insurance underwriters our ports.This could be overcome, we believe, without cost to the: country, by the Government assum- tng the marine Canadian ports, at New York rates | the Government by À Board of Trade, seven years ago, ! and since, that elevator storags bec, Hulifax and St John.together with the necessary steamship berths, And point out to you that the City of Quebec is strictly entitled to thin, ' tract with the Government executed in 1810.We are convinced that the policy | we had indicated would put a stop: to this alarming diversion of our trade to New York and would bring | it back to Canadian seaports, Yours respectfully, Signed) J.T.ROSS, Pres.Que Board

FIRST; NATIONALE vs.EMERALDS City League Teams Start Second Half of Schedule This Evening with Two Interesting Matohes\u2014Large Crowds Expected To Be Present\u2014Teams Evenly Matched The City League will start the second half of their schedule thia evening at the Arena when the Bons of Ireland meet Crescents, and Nationales will hook up with Emeralds in the second fixture of the night.Crescents were the only team that inflicted defeat on the Bons of Ireland in the first half, and are going strong at the present time.They have a good little nce, composed of Eddie Piton and Delaney, and a good forward line.Crescents have been playing in hard luck in their last two or three matches, fur they would have just as much of the play as their opponents but would not be able to score goals by any means.They ought to make the Sons step some to get the edge over them in tonight's game, even thoygh they will not have the services of Frank Brophy, Bouchard and Lesieur for the game.Sons of Ireland have won the champlonship of the first halt, and will start out with one idea in their heads tonight.To win the game, and also capture the title for the second half of the series, and make a clean job of it, and when the Bons are going, they require some stopping.With Hammy Laroche and George McNaughton they have perhaps the two best men playing amateur hockey in the city today.The Green sweatered boys have got a great little machine gathered together, and the other teams in the league will need to play their best when they are booked to meet the Irishmen, if they want to defeat them in their pennant rush.The second match of the night brings together Nationales and Emerald.This is the first time that Emeralds have played under that name it belng the former 5th

than Re was last winter that he is through.He said his business in this Maryland farm, required him to stay there.The only promise I could exact from Baker la that if later he should decide to return to the game he would take it up personally with me.\u201cThough Baker will bs very welcome, if he should change his mind, I shall make plans for the coming season without considering him for third

$30.000.000 more revenus frem this source than was expected.The foreign trade returns bave a similar story to tell.Canada\u2019 ports were swollen during 1917 and 1018 by huge shipments of shelly and other munitions.Canada made 65,000,000 shells for the British army, though before the war not & single shell had ever been produc- od, oven for the consumption of the Consdian army.When this export topped and while factories were shanging over te pense production ( was natural te expect a decline M came, it was smaller than vag expected.During the tweive menths ending November 30, 1919, the exports amounted te 91,361,604,440, as oempared with $1,300,761,08% tu the last twelve moatha of the war.The amail decline in oxporta did nat offset the gain in imports and Cams afa\u2019s total foreign trade showed a alight increase.lndeed, in foreign trade Canada stands at the moment seventh or eighth among the nations ot the world.Expocts Peas Imports.A short review ef Canada's peel.tien before the war and its progress during the war will ba found interesting .Canada before the war fmported muck more than she exported.Or as ons financial writer has expressed it: = \u201cThe anlient features af the onane- mic position af Canada shortly before the war were the enormous predominance of imperts over exports the failure of the exports of the coumtry to expand in preper- tion to the immense amount af ex ternai capital which waa being borrowed and upon which interest had te be paid and the consequent short age of cash and liquid asseta in the treasuries of corporations In the vaults of hanks and purses of the public.\u201d The tendency the banks had set ol with seme suecees to combat some time prior te the war.Cana dian imports for the fiseal year 1018 1314 amounted to §$810,157,174 and ou came to $455,437.34.A similar proportion had existed some before Canada was borrew- from Great Britain tev federal provincial, munieipal and maliway purposss, an immense sum of Britist money were being Invested fn Canadian enterprises.British flsan- olal experts had called a halt In that respect, little dreaming that Canada was soon not oniy to send her sons to heip the Motheriand but to lend her credit as well.In pe far qe the balance of trade te concerned at the end of the fises| te 3,746 and exports $1,840.ny Ot courme, the war responsible very largely for this remarkable reversal.Por the calender year 1919 Canada's favorable balance of trade will be over $30 , 900, Moreover, Canada as a natio has cesmed to bojrow money from abroad, or practically so.The Dominion still gets money trom New York apd for industrial purposes much American money finde ita way into Canada.In fact, financiai regulations are rather in- timate and money flows beth ways
