and on the white facing is stitched in a BAER cross bones, done in black cloth.In addition to this, there was found tn Morgan's possession a nickel plated special constable\u2019s badge.Worst of all, however, was a steel club, about six inches long, with a wrist strap attached, which, Chief Carpenter says, is the ugliest weapon he lias seen in his experience of dealing wih criminals.Vincent Morgan is the young fel- ow whose pursuit terminated in the unfortunate wounding by a glancing bullet of Mr.D.L.Rey, Consul jor Switzerland, on Cadleux street, yesterday afternoon.The club is small, beautifully turned, of solid steel, about six inches long, an inch thick at the largest part.At the lower end of the club a thread has been cut, and a small brass nut, with a strap hele cut in it, i= screwed on .The strap is just long enough to go around the wrist, leaving the club to swing free.As it weighs irom a pound to two pounds, a tap from it, administered by a careless : hand, would prove fatal.In addition to these interesting articles ,the Detective Department have a collection eof tools found in Morgan's possession, \u2018which makes the place look like a hardware shop.Braces and bits, cutlery of all kinds, footballs, dog collars, nut pickers, sll figure in the assortment.The majority nf these goods were stolen from the hardware store of J.P.Bellaire, 1811 St.Catherine street east, for | which Morgan had in some way obtained a Key.He has been disposing of new tools in various parts of the city for over a month, and the dtective department have received a \u2018number of peports | about him, as the toads: were sold a: below their value.They could.find.the man who was carrying off\u201d the business, however, until yesterday, when a telephone message was.recefv- ed saying that he yas at a store at 106 Craig street west.Detective at once went to that n they were his.sufficient to warant Deteotfiég-w in taking him into custody.27 priés experienced no p prisoner, er antl they were § break for liber It was a wild chase which toiewèd, | and which resulted in the unfortunate po wounding of Mr.Rey, the Bless consul.- Detective Demers told th , Bry | graphically to a reporter of it- | Co were just à few steph from se © were just a few steps James street,\u2019 he said, \u2018whex he the break, and got away.Hé fan own the hill toward the Champ de Mars, and I chased hi As he was cross the Champ de I drew my revalver, and fired two shots in the.air, but he kept on running.\u2018As he reached Craig street.Beguty High Constable Cyr saw him \u2018ang made a grab for him, but Morgan atruckkim and knocked him heneath the de of a passing car.Constable Cyr: the narowest esaapé from death he over experienced.It was a miracle cast De PE Dee was not killed.\u2018The desperado ran past à on street, and I took a' cab, and At Cadieux street a soldier tried stop the man, but he was k cok down, and the ment continued.1 stables Valade and Gagnon- bere 4oin- ed in the chase.\u20181 was too far behind to what | ply happened next.but I heard s » and when I arrived they had ri What occurred was that Valade.seized the thief, \u2018and he also was knocked down.\u2018The prisoner:- here crossed the street, running along ve.side the Drill Hall, It was them that Constable Ggnon fired.Mp.Rey was smnd in his doorway on the opposite s of the street from that of the ru min, so that the bullet which, struck him must have glanced from the stone wall and came back across the street.| He was struck in the right cheek.the bullet breaking two of his teeth Rey fell to the ground, and pystandert | thought he had been killed.He was \u2018aken to the General Hospital which he left two hours later, after hie had his wounds well dressed.At the corner of Vitre street, a pe- oatrian grappled witl with Morgan and im\" a, and \u2018ln a Constables Gagnon and Valade Tad so him secured.A fe He gave his name &&\" Frddatit Mér- gan.aged 22 years, and his address \u2018ad Irèé No.8 Prefontaine street.It was found | di that he had been there for three weéls.| inder the name of Joseph Louzon.- In: his room were found the steel élub, te Black Hand badge, and an electric lunp.He was wearing the special constable\u2019s badge when arrested.: Chief Canipeau called Constables Gagnon and Valade into his office yes-' triay afternoon and got their story.of the shooting.This morning he to the \u2018Witness\u2019 that he did i tate ink they had |.1rheyed any of the rules governing |.the use of revolwers by polieemen.He was still Investigating the case, | however, be said.Mr.Rey ts reported to be Drogrées- =;

from M Arlot, French Charge de Affaires in Jentral America.The Charge reported that the sole sasis of the rumors that French citizens had been mist =iy- Nic was the arrest and imprisonment of a Frenchman, who was alleged to have ought in the ranks of the insurgents.[\"pon M.Arlot\u2019s representations to the Nicaragua Government, the Frenchman was released.MARTIAL LAW IN HONDURAS.Porto Cortez, Honduras, Dec §\u2014Mar- \u2018ial law in Honduras was proclaimed yesterday.A state of expectancy =xists.The proclamation of martial law in Honduras is the result probably of a suspicion at the capital that General Manuel Bonilla will take advantage of the situation in Nicaragua to invade | Honduras with a rebel band and re- zain the presidency, from which he was irposed by President Davila with the sid of President Zelaya of Nicaragua.riven from the presidency of Hon- curas, Bonilla took refuge on the United States cruiser \u2018Chicago,\u2019 on \\pril 12.1907.Since then he has -pent much time in Mexico, the United *tates and British Honduras.On Nov.:3 last he sailed from New Orleans for \u201cnlon.He is suspected of intriguing with Guatemala and Salvador with the purpose of bringing about a revolution in Honduras, overthrowing the Davila government and then forming i union between Honduras, Guatemala and Salvador for an attack on Presi- ent Zelaya's government in Nicara- sUa.The present attitude of Honduras, however, has been declared officially to be in a strict neutrality as a central \u2018late, with its neutrality practically .numerous abuses, and in the «.1+ benefits especially the more Lin and poorer classes.those who .,- allow themselves the luxury \u2014: jn chasing at large shops.When the proposed Lapoir'.:.- was discussed before the co Monday last, did the city fath.: consider whut those peor peop: lose if the tax on hawkers «! and vegetables was raised from &- $200?The interests of the grocer, of the one who pays r taxes, light, a license, etc.were ferred to.but was sufficient attent given 10 those who purchase from : hawk-r, and thus save 3, 30, 40 u even 50 percent\u201d The impression 1.with us by the discussion is t peddl\u2018ng constitutes a competition, that such competition ix unjust Ww: such a principle, especially as regarg victuals, we may be ld very tar, ani we need not be sarpr.+! \u2018has eu goods tecome dearer Ven Montreal.Why not then \u2018run trade on the public marker: \u2014 1010 the number of grocery =-n AL would favor a tax of sax sie hawkers, but we believe that proposed is too high.We rere to the hawking of 1ruit and vege only, for it is the most importun- most popular, and perhaps the oo which there is least fraud A que.may easily put an exaggerated x on lace, linen, cotton.prints.ete 1 how can he deceive a housekeeper the quality of apples, fruit mn geno and vegetables?\u201d The article then points out thar increased tax will either cause hawkers to disappear, or make i.increase the price of their goods.in both instances the consumer ».suffer.Taking up further on the claus the by-law forbidding hawkers to out in the etreets the gcods offcru for sale, the writer adds: If the t law is adopted, Montreal will hy nothing to envy of Toronto, the sil: city.We will still have, it is tr.the running of street cars on Sunda: but those will soon be brought to der.Next will come the suppress» of the drunkards\u2019 howls, at two Proposed co Loe -three o'clock in the morning, the ci: age cries of the drivers of trucks, ti: terrible wailing of the factory whistle the bells of different sounds\u2014an.Montreal will finally have the pea: of death.On the other hand.nothinz will prevent the hawker or pedl from ringing your door bell and di: turbing you when you have no need of his goods.Our housekeepers wil, tell whether that clause of the new by-law ig very wise.The article concludes with a refer ence to the $500 tax on concert hall-.and it says: \u2018If we compare that tax with the $200 daily tax imposed upon circuses.which carry away between $25,000 and $30,000 in forty-eight hours, we fing that our city would deserve to be governed by a Buffalo Bill\u2019 THE \u2018PATRIE'S' VIEWS.The \u2018Patrie\u2019 also takes up the proposed by-law, and it say§: \u2018It is carie difficult to understand the exact e g Of what the city council i tends tot dd \"ov Woreising he Aféette \u2018 tax on pedlers to $200 a yéar.ls i the intentioh to protect certain trade: to put an end to an imposition upor.the public, or simply to increase the city\u2019s revenue?The true meaning or this new increase is pretty difficult to establish, for the proposed by-law will protect the traders no more than the public.\u2019 Further on the article adds: \u2018The new measure will mean prohibition, at least, for agents and canvassers.The disappearance of the latter will leave no regret, their visits are seldom useful and always dis agreeable.As regards pedlers, the: will not disappear, an over-tax of hal\u2019 a dollar a day is not heavy enough t.make them give up their business, an: we will, as in the past, hear their cric- in the streets.Anyhow.they rende: real services in certain districts.Tha: by-law on peddling is llke all ou: by-laws: it includes clauses the effect» of which would greatly astonish th: \u2018aldermen who adopted them.should they be produced.Thus, according 1 paragraph h of section 1, every trader.dry goods merchant, grocer, tailor.etc.who delivers goods to a client on ay- probation, is liable to a fine of $40.or two months\u2019 imprisonment.\u2019 Referring to the increase of the tax on theatres, moving picture shows, etc.from $100 to $500, on the ground that a fireman will henceforth be placed in each of those establishments, the \u2018Patrie\u2019 thinks that it would have been wiser, more prudent and more logical to fix the tax proportionately to th protection required, as In some theatres and halls a single fireman will t+ sufficient, while others require several men.Under the proposed by-law, th small places, where the working classes get their recreation, will have to pa for she larger,

secondly, of assisting the home producer against foreign competition; thirdly, of giving preference to colonies; fourth, of securing better terms from foreign countries, and, fifth, of mitigating unemployment by encouraging the home producer.\u2018The tariff will be of the simplest pdssible form, not protective in tre sense that that is understood in Germany and the United States.There fs no intention of having multifarious rates which would throw open the ddor to parliamentary intrigue, The plan favored is to allow few materials duty free and to impose a five Pgvots duty on partly manufactured ten percent on articles nearly com pleted, and 15 percept on completely manufactured goods.There may possibly be a slightly lower duty in favor of tLe colonies, and a sHghtly \u2018h tariff against countries seekii to penalise.British.goods.2 \u2018Foreign wbeat will be able to a duty of two ehillings par quarter, with preference to the colonies, but pot the removal of the whole duty.Flour will pay a higher rate in order.to encourage home grinding, while bacon and maize will also be excluded from the free list.Importaht raw mate- is, such as cotton, and wool, will free.\u2018A tariff framed thus, it is estimated, would produce a revenue of from sixteen to twenty million pounds.If the Un ignists are returned, every possible effort will be made to embody the new duties in the budget of 1910, or-at the latest 1911, but the maximum duties will be wittheld for two years, in order to give time to negotiate commercial agreements with Toreign countries.\u2019 Mr.George Wyndham, member.of the House of Commons for Dover, speaking in London to-night, also .intimated the intention of the Unionists to propose a ten percent duty on manufactured articles and two shillings on wheat.FREE TRADE FOR LANCASHIRE.| Mr.Charles Wright Macara, head of the Cotton Federation of Great Britain, in an interview to-day on the political crisis, revealed himself as a strong advocate of free trade.\u2018In fifty years Lancashire has,\u2019 he said, \u2018doubled in population, ddubled its cotton spinning and manufacturing machinery, and built up an export trade three times bigger than its home trade.This enormous growth has been maintained by the cheapness of production Tax food and mill re- quien, and our pre-eminence would wrhere two-thirds of the world\u2019s cotton crop grows, exports only ten .per- gent of her manufactured gos, against England's 76 percent.\u2019 \u2018Hitherto other nations have discounted to some extent the handicap which protection imposes upon ttem by working longer hours, but next year the milla of Massachusetts and Germany will by statute have the working hours reduced to nearly the same level as Wagland:: Let ton industry be impertlled, and every other industry suffers.The teeming yopulation of Lancashire are among the biggest consumers of agricultural produce.\u2019 REDMOND'S ;
