Dr.Karl Helterrich, former Minis ter of the Treasury.The nature of thia testimony, it was considered, left Ersberger no other choice thao to relinquish his portfolio.According to the testimony af Btate\u2019s Attorney, Bchmidi, which was glven with the utmost reserve and caution, Ersberger had smuggled large amount of his private funds to Bwitzerland.Previously, testimony adduced from Dr.Helferrich involved Erzberger in nymer- vus questionable transactions in con- uection with the issuance of Import and export permits, and other wise misusing his offical postion and influence in the furtherance of ventures in which Erzberger was alleged to be interested.The ofticlal statement announcing Ersberger's retirement from the Cabinet bases his action on his de sire to have an investigation concerning his income tax, without rs- terence to or in cünsideration of h.official position.His resignation was tendered to President Ebert, who ordered an investigation of the income tax incident conducted with all possible promptness.Berlin, Feb.34\u2014Mathias Erzbergor Minister of Finance, resigned trom the Cabinet today.His resignation is said to have been due to testimony

Sell Their Paper at Stated Price Ottawa, Feb.34\u2014(By Can.Press) \u2014Price Brothers, of Quebec were this afternoon denisd leave to appeal the &upreme Court of Canada from the order of the Board of Commerce dated February 6, ordering them to market their news print paper in Canada at a fixed price of $80 per ton, and the Board ordered that one of the two partners in the firm be brought befors it on Baturday morning next, \u201cby legal process It neceesary.\u201d Aime Ueoftrion, K.C., counsel for Price Brothers, appeared befors the Board of Commerce this afternoon in answer to an invitation to show cause why clauses in the Board's order making dilegal any higher price than $20.90 per ton for newsprint paper sold from Price Brothers Canadian mills \u201cfor shipment to any destination\u201d and - also prohibiting any hoarding or withholding from wale of newsprint in Canada should not be made permanent Mr.Ueoffrion stated that his clients would make no argument on this point but that they wished to challenge the jurisdiction of the Board of Commerce in enforcing such an Order.Counsel thought that the most dignified way of settling the point was to argue the cight of the Board to regulate the sale of client's products before the Supreme Court and he therefore asked leave to appeal to that court against the Board's order.Chief Commissioner Robeen informed counsel that the board would not consider his application.Price Brothers not having shown any inclination to assist the Board in dealing with the problem of newsprint shortage.There were frequent heated passages between Mr.(ieof- (rion and the Board during the, short hearing.Commissioner W.F.O'Connor, K.C., commented op Price Brothers\u2019 definitions of the Board's order and on their own denial of the jurisdiction of the Board of Commerce 25 à court even while they recognized that by asking leave to appeal against its order.Price Brothers should obey the order and appeal against it afterwards, said Mr.O'Connor, and Commissioner Murdock said that he wished to find out whether Price Brothers considered = themselves above the law.Mr.Geoffrion replied that his clients were willing to abey the order if it is a law ,but that he very much questionel.He ended his argument by threatening to show the Board that it had no jurisdiction to waforce such an order.All the Commissioners agreed that the hearing should not be proceeded with until one of the Price Brothers was present and Government cotnsel, Colonel Biggar, K.C., undertook to bring one of them be- for the Board on Saturday morning.Asked Ly the Board if his clients had considered the possibility of being brought to Ottawa by force, Mr.Geoftfrion thought they had weil consdered such a possibility.Government counsel, Colonel Biggar, supported the contention that the illegal price clause in the Board's order should be made permanent by quoting figures to prove that during four months in 1918, Price Brothers made a brofit of $34.11 per ton on newsprint sold at $80.00 per ton.The cost of production, It was then conwidered, cuuld be reduced by 86.39 per ton.At its last annual meeting, Price Hrothers had informed its shareholders that \u201ca profit of 36.64 per ion was most satisfactory.If this smount had been added to the profit by a reduction of cost, the net profit per ton at the fixed price would be about $39.50, said counsel.it might therefore be made a per- miuanñent provision in the Hoard's order that any price higher than $80 per ton on newsprint from this mill we deemed to include an unfair pro.ft.EDITOR NIAWKE IMPROVING.Moncton, N.B., February 24.\u2014The condition of Mr.J.T.Hawke, editor and proprietor of the Daily Transcript, continues to improve.Mr.Hawke is slowly regaining strength

about Mr.Asquith's political principles, soms of which belong to the past era, but in the Paisley election It luoks with the greatest interest to the possibllly of the return to Par- Uament of an old political hand muking for the creation of an effective opposition.Other prominent papers have apparently exhausted thelr vi regarding this election, but serve up tales of wagers made in different quarters concerning the result, Despite his wiectoral chances being regarded more coolly in London today then in Paisley during the heat of the contest, Mr.Asquith's supporters are still sanguine.Horncastle polls tomorrow and the counting will be op March 9th, the vacancy occurring through Coionel Weigall's acceptanos of the Australlan state governorship.This election will certainly

and Spilsby.The constituency's political history is of Conservatives winning with fairly small majorities on straight fights with Liberals.Captain Hotchkin, the Unionist candidate, is a local

couple sf days to attend the opening ceremonies on Thursday, thers is a hard Aght ahead when the Governmen! introduces the Franchise Act in the Commons.At the present time nothing definite as to the contents of provisions ef the bill has been known but Opposition members declare that any attempt to force à duplication of the work of snumerators by using a Dominion voters\u2019 list instead of following the Provincial lists will be vigorously contested.There i» also the matter of any redistribution, if such is proposed and the limitation as to who shall or shall not be eligible to vote in Dominion elections.Beveral members have declared that anything less than giving the vote to every Canadian man and woman over 21 years of age will not be mtisfactory and that whatever may be the provisions of the Act as it comes before Parliament a long, wordy battle is almost ammred.Rapid progress !s befng made in fitting up the new Parliament Buildings for the opening ceremony.Although the Commons Chamber, where the formal opening ceremony Is to take place, has not been completed, workmen are busy today finishing the floor and putting the members\u2019 desks in place, In the Railway

well ready for occupation, and in the casa of Hon.W.L.Mackenzie-King and a few others have already been occupied.The Senators\u2019 rooms on the upper floors of the building are being furnished today and already an army of scrub-women is (n evidence following on the heels of the workmen and removing all traces of dirt from the new home of Parliament.While, thers is yet an immense amount of work to be done before the building will be ready for the opening ceremony, every effort is being made to have things as complete as possible.Members who had inspected the House this morning were of the opinion that things would be in good shape for their arrival, On Thursday, after the formal opening, it is expected that the Commons will be adjourned until Monday afternoon.so that will give the workmen another two or three days in which to complete the necessary arrangements.COMPROMISE WET MEASURE PASSED Soenes of Tumult in the New Jersey House of Assembly Yesterday Trenton, N.J, Feb.24

Que, Feb.24.\u2014Under the caption \u201cWithout a pilot\u201d, a pointed and apparently inspired editorial appears in today's issue of the McGill Dally, enquiring whether or not Bir Auckland Geddes is com- Ing to take his appôintment as principal of McGill University and claiming that without a guiding hand, \u201cMeGill is stagnant, if not undergoing a period of retrogression\u201d.In the faculty of Arts, it ls pointed out that the University is losing a professor to Toronto, and in that of Applied Science, \u2018\u2019the average engineer is certainly not of a calibre which will recommend him to large engineering enterprises.\u201d The faculty of Medicine is \u201cnot as usual\u201d.Letters, it was sald, had been received asking why so large a percentage of McGill men fall to pase the Dominion Council examinations The editorial concludes: \u201cMcGill cannot stand another year without a pilot.\u201d STRONG PROTEST BY RETAIL CLOTHIERS Object to Board of Commerce Order

percent.A committee was appointed by the convention to wait on Major Duncan, of the Board of Commerce, this city, with a view to having amendments made to the order that would not inflict hardships upon the retall clothiers.During the discussion on the Board's order placing the maximum margin of twenty six percent on clothing costing less than $30, and 33 percent on all clothing costing more than $30, President E.Mack, of Toronto, suggested that the order was made to protect the workingman.\u201cThe workingman has got more money now than the rich man,\u201d a delegate retorted.NO CHANGE

Bureau.It is an order that Increases the working hours of some hundreds of the employees exactly twelve hours a week.At present the printers In the Bureau work the regulation forty- eight hours a week.All others in the Bureau work about thirty-six hours weekly.Bome years ago the late Charles Parmele when King\u2019s Printer, granted the clerks, ste., who form the bulk of the Bureaus employees, a shorter day.This was In the nature-of a promotion and also from ths consideration that these men could do their work as well in the hours that other civil servants worked in Ottawa, as in the longer trade union hours.At the present time, printers in the Bureau work the following hours: § a.m.to noon, and 1 p.m.to 8:30 p.m.Clerks and others go to work at 9 a.m.and work till noon and return at 2

on the whole, falr press notices today.The Manchester Guardian certainly the last journal that could be described as militaristic, says: \u201cWe simply have a lot of material estimates of 125,000,000 for 1920 are an excusable advance on the twenty six millions odd for 1918.The Government which presents such puts itself on trial and must justify in detail every item.\u201d The Times says that Mr.Churchill did not succeed entirely in carrying vonvictions though he made out a falrly good case for his proposals.\u2018The world had not yet returned to norinal conditions and probably ft was too soon to reduce our atand- ing forces to their old strength.The Daily News remarks that If we deliberately adopt a policy involving naval commitments these must be met and Mr.Churchill was able to make out à plausible case for the demands he presented to the House.The Daily Chronicle (Coalitionist) ways that looking at the matter in its broadest light it results from the disastrous failure of last year's peace conference to erect a league of Nations of a practical type and given the situation as the peace conference left it, it is not easy to argue Lroadty that Mr.Churchill is spending too much, HON.J.D.REID ON SICK LIST Ottawa, Ont, Feb, 24.\u2014 (By can.Press) \u2014Hon.J 1 Reid, Minister of ttailways and Canals, is stated to be in New Tork on his way back to Ottawa after spending

return precisely to the arguments and decision announced in the note of December 9, which formed the basis of .| the Adriatic agresment to which the United States subscribed, as important events which have oceurred in Flume since that time are ssid to have necessitated modifications in some respects to meet the changed conditions However the President Is said to have refused to agree to the terms of the settlement arrived at by the Premiers and sent to Jugo-Slavia as an ultimatum.Acting-Secretary of State Polk Is endeavoring to arrange for the simul taneous pubHeation of the correspondence on both sides of the Atlantie and it is regarded now as prob able that the notes will be made public in Washington after the Pres- {dent's reply is delivered at London snd at Paris.SECURE CONTROL London,

until they can present a brief of their reasons why it should not have executive powers.The next step in the union programme, which will not de developed definitely unless the bill is ape proved, ia to test the constitutionality of the law.Various methods of bringing this about were suggested but all will be held in abeyance pending the President's action.As a result of the decision to ask for presidential veto, consideration of the proposal for settlement of the controversy, submitted by the President and Director-General Hines, will be largely perfunctory at tomorrow\u2019s meetings of the labor representatives.Many of the dsle- gates and some of the general chairmen planned tonight to leave Washington immediately.A MEETING OF WOMEN DEMOCRATS New York, N.Y.Feb.24.\u2014Dele- gates from this city to the convention of Democratic women at Albany tomorrow will urge that women bs given equal representation with men on the \"big four\u201d delegation to the Democratic National

It has been 2s much a labor of love as a commercial onterprise sad 1f the greatest energy in oditing, coupled with the most anxious care in production, are deserving of any pocognition thon this volume bas an ample warrant te anticipate success.Be that as it may, the pages mast now speak for themselves snd we content our- coives with confessing to quiet pride in the result st- tained.Pointed on the finest grade of coated paper throughout, a siriking yet thoroughly artistic cover- @esign should arvest the eye with its symbolic figure that holds the laurel of victory over the players in a battle scene; while the other hand grasps the standard of à laurel-crowned Union Jack that amiles upou a Group of ite erstwhile defenders returning to the in- Gustrial pursuits of civil life Neat to the title page appears the simple dedios- sion, Stsingly omamented with the cross of 5 war memorial frome the field of honor.It resds as follows: \u201cre the Oficers, Noncommiasioned Officers and Men of the Canadian Expeditionary Force who, content to die Gr Osmads, sleep beneath the soil of France and Flanders, this short record of the Canadian Corps ia dedicated in grateful remembrance and with proud and veverent admiration.\u201d Apart from tho advertising there are Afty aix pages of reading matter, on each of which a dignified border scheme is carried out in the purple of sorrow.Wg remembrance.There are over two hundred halftone {tustrations, covering every conceivable war activity, ~many of which have never previously been published in this country\u2014and no pains have been spared by the printer to employ them to the best advantage.While on this subject, we invite attention to four pages entirely devoted to views of war graves and messorials, which gain added pathos from the in- aspired verwss of the late Major John McRae, \u201cIn Wanders Fields\u201d.The first article is of an introductory character.and offers a clear yet concise explanation of \u201cWhy Canadas Was In The War\u2019.Suoccreding articles that deal wish the exploits of the Canadian Corps in France and Flanders are grouped under the following head- ipgs to which they bave special reference: \u201cYpres\u201d, \u201cThe Somme\u201d, \u201cVimy Ridge\u201d, \u201cSt.Elol-Sanctanry Wood\u201d, \u2018Pamschendacle\u201d, \u201cVimy to Mons\u201d, \u201cAmiens\u201d, \u201cArras\u201d and

Edward Island is written by the Honorable ¥.J.Nash, that of Nova Scotia by the Honorable C.H.Murray.Ontario is represented by the Honoeable T.W.McGarry, Saskatchewan by the Honorable W.M.Martin, Alberta by the Honorable Charles Stewart, and British Columbia by Mr, J.Gordonamith.This concluding section is varied and emriched by characteristic verses by Quebec's own poet and woldier- priest, Canon Frederick George Scott.The whole forms at once a record and a memorial of the part played by this Dominion In the world's greatest war that we believe will be treasured by the present generation and prised still more highly by those that come after.Such has been the ideal towards which the publisher has striven but If he appears to have approached it cven slightly the Chronicie's Peace and Victory Number will still fall far short of the deserving of those true herves in whose honor it has been designed.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ARE WE AMERICANIZED?In an article on \u201cBritish

agree in its entirety with the picinre drawn, it is generally interesting and sometimes profitable to \u201csee oorsels as ithers see us\u201d.Politically, says Mr.McKensle, Great Britain and Canada

CHHONIOLE, | ABOUT TOWN SIX COMMITTEES AT CITY HALL Each Ward will Have a Chalr- man\u2014Everything Now Cut and Dried With the official isstallation of Mayor-eleot Samson and the members of the City Council on Monday afternoon the new Chief Magistrats and Aldermen will be able to organ- 1ze and prepare to take over the administration of the City.One of the, first things which the new Council will take up will bs the formation of the civie committees and the election of chairmen.There are at present four committees, namely, Finance, Public Works, Fire and Polies, and Health, but it is generally understéod that it has been decided to have six committees, so that each ef the six wards will have a representative as chairman of 8 committee.The increasin of the number of committees may meet with some opposition from the older members of the Council, as it was with great difficulty that the number was reduced to four and the reductfon when !t was made was intended to concentrate matters and to *xpedite the business of the City.Since every ward wants & chairman, however, and will not give in, It appears thdt the only solution is to supply a \u2018om- Imittee for each, and if as was intimated during the campaign, St.Sauveur Ward will be divided into two wards, it will probably be necessary to create another committee when that is done.The two additional committess wiil be formed by the division of the Roads and Waterworks, which are now united under the Public Worke Committee, and by the separation of the Police and Fire Committee into two distinct bodies.According to the most acourate information available at the present time, the chairmen have been select ed as follows: Finance Committee: tier (Champlain).Roads Committe Bouchard (8t.Roch's).Police Committee: Ald.Jos.Mercler (Belvedere).Fire Committes: Ald.P.Bertrand (Bt, Sauveur).Health Committee: A'd.P.H.Bedard (St.Jean Baptiste).Waterworks Committes: Ald Emile Bouchard (Limoilou).Leader of the Council: Alderman Michel Fiset (St Sauveur).\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CHRONICLE'S SPECIAL NUMBER ON SALE Today thers will be on sale at ali the leading newsdealers\u2019 establishments a publication

under his belt and no place to sieep, an individual named Murphy who has à epeuking acquaintance with Recorder Dery found himself on Palace Hill shortly before midnight last night and in need of shelter and a bed.Like an oasis in the Sahara the Salvation Army loomed large befora &im, and beaming on its sombre walls as though it were a long lost brother he tacked across to the entrance as gracefully as possible.At first he tried the door very gently and found (t locked.Then he gave a dainty knock and waited, for Mr.Murphy WAS not seeking trouble, but shelter.There was no response and he gave still another knock, and then knocked some more, each time a little harder, but without avail.Finally Mr.Murphy became peeved.He actually thumped upon that door, and when he had given ample time for those within to respond and they did not do, he became thoroughly aroused and decided to batter his way in.Bang! his fist pounded on the plate glass window.Crash! went the glass, and with his tighting blood up Mr.Murphy started to lay waste all the windows In sight.A second plate glans followed the fate of the firat and then a third one was attended to.Oonstable John Genest, of Central Station happened along At.John Stand hearing the dm of breaking #lass hastened to the scene, just in time to prevent any further devastation.He took Mr Murphy to Central Station provided him with a nice comfortable cell and will bring him before Recorder Dery this morning for decoration.The damage is estimated at $35 and it takes a Jot of oakum picking to make up that amount.\u2014\u2014 MAN

8:15 o\u2019clock\u2014Big Crowd is Expected at Matoh\u2014They Are Out to Avenge Last Defeat Here \u2014 Tonight the Toronto Bt.Pats.will pay a return visit to the city, where they wiil tackle the Bulldogs, and endeavor to repeat their effort of some ten days ago, of beating the locals on their own ice.The Quebec team, however, feel that they have something to say in the matter, and they are determined that the City crew will not go away from this eity tonight with a victory, and will use every means to gain the decision themselves.The game ought to bs a hummer trom start to finish and if the Bulldogs put up the brand of hockey they displayed against the Canadiens, there need be no fear of the Greenshirts capturing the verdict.Against the Torontos on the occasion of their last visit here, the locals put up a magnificent brand of hockey, and had no license to lose the game at all, but fate decided otherwise, and the winning goal was scored thirty five seconds before the close of play.However, Manager Mike Quinn and his warriors are fully determined that the Torontu team are to go down to defeat tonight, and that they will strain very nerve goes without saying.The visitors will arrive in town this morning, and all the players will be on hand for the game.Mtichell, Lockhart, Randall, Heffernan, Matte, Prodgers, Noble, Wilson, Roach, Dye and Denneny, and they are confident that they will repeat their victory of some ten days ago.According to reports from outside puints Repgie Noble, the left wing of the Torontos, is playing the best hockey of his career.When the husk left winger is in conditon, he is one of the most dangerous men on the ice, while Cully Wilson and Goldie Prodgers are equally as dangerous.The rejuvenated forward line of the St.Patrick's has worked wonders .and although the Saints re- \u2018ceived a severe jolt last Saturday in thier own ice palace, they are out to win tonight's game, for they realizze that æ loss tonight would be fatal to them, while a win would put them right after the Senators.If the Ot tawa team lose, and Toronto win, both teams will be tied, but if the (Queen City bunch get trimmed tonight, and the Capital crew get hy with a victory over Canadiens, it's uli over but the shouting.The other game is in Ottawa, where the Canadiens will act as vis- lturs.The edge in this contest goes to Ottawa, who have only been beat- tn once on their home ice this winter, while the Canadiens have not been very fortunate against the Senstory either at home or away.Still, the breaks of the game may go sxainst the puck chasers that wear the Red, White and Black sweaters.and the Flying Frenchmen may nose eut a victory.i Keats for tonight's game are going\u2019 fart, and a record attendance ought to be on hand.Quebec have struck their stride now, and are one of the\u2018 most dangerous teams in the league, Aithough they have hardly a fighting chance for the serond hall honors, WAS THE WINNER Quebec No.1 Defeated
