ke, the fact that the man is dead shows that there must have been doctors called near him.\u201d .! \\ sesû The witness was afterwards cross- examined by Mr.Jacobs, to show that he was on bad terms with Abraham- son, the manager of the place.The witness admitted that they had had words together, because Abrahamson had accused him of playing the part of an informer.Questioned by Mr.Recorder Weir, Heefey's last spree, he | seen ht every day coming out drunk\u2019 from Fraid\u2019s place.ed.He had attended Heefey, who had died of acute tubercular pneumonia, When he was called in a professional capacity to Heefey\u2019s bedside, he found him suffering from the effects of protracted overindulgence it alcoholic liquors.It was quite possible that this continued intoxication had hastened Heefey\u2019s death.Mr.George Elliott, secretary-treas- urer of the Willlamson Warehousing Company, situated directly across the street from the Fraid\u2019s saloon, said the place was a continual temptation to the number of employees working at the Williamson's warehouse.The Metropole Cafe case was then taken up.A Leonard, the minager of the dining-room, stated that previous to taking up his present position he had kept a saloon near the Chicago Stock Yards.He claimed he had purged the place of its \u2018old crowd,\u2019 by refus- iug admittance to any one \u2018who did not look good to him.\u2019 ; Witness referred to his tireless efforts in pruning down a certain class\u2019 who attempted to frequent the place.He had actually thrown out several persons.\u2018 \u2018Ah, you threw some persons out?questioned Mr.Patterson, counsel for the Dominion Alliance.\u2018Now tell us why you threw them out.\u2019 \u2018They were not worthy to come to the Metropole,\u2019 answered witness.\u2018Why were they not worthy?asked Mr.Patterson.\u2018I didn\u2019t like the looks of their faces,\u201d replied witness, amidst laughter.Other employees of the cafe also gave testimony as to its good character, after which Mr.Perron, addressing the commissioners, declared that though, previous to.the taking over of the establishment last April by the present owners, there might have been something left to be desired in the manner in which affairs had been conducted, efforts had been made by the present proprietors to better matters.The owners were con- the upstairs dining-room altogether, and to exclude from the premises all unig d women.The case was thén takén en delibere.; The application of Mrs.Elizabeth Kelly for a renewal of license was then taken up and granted without comment.The following cases were then arranged for future hearing: J.Murray, en delibere; P, McCoogan, next Wednesday; A.Aubertin, to-day; Wm.Allen, next Wednesday; J.Levesque, to-day; Q.Brabant, to-day.FEDERATION OF EMPLOYERS WILL FIGHT STRIKES.Strong Combination of Building Trades Confron! Trades Unions With Power to Order a General Lockout + That the strikes of 1910 in the building trade considerably upset the cquanimity of the \u201cbuilding trades is ronsidered by Trade Union circl.to be the reason for A move which is now being consummated by the Build- trs\u2019 Exchange.; Starting with the beginning of the year the Master Plumbers\u2019 Association has formed a federation with the Builders\u2019 Exchange for purposes of vifence and defence, the Plasterers\u2019 Association is stated to ~ .considering a similar move, and, it is understood, t .pinters and electricians will also join the federation, thereby making the strongest group of employers in Montreal.The various interests will not give up their present offices or autonomy, but will use the rooms and the facilities of the Builders\u2019 Exchange and have representatives on their board of directors.This combination means that if strikes threaten in the building trade in future the strikers will \u2018have the whole force of tlie employers.to fight against.In' trade union circles this \u2018is regarded partly as a tribute to their | strength, but more particularly as a very serious proposition which will have to be faced in the near future.It means, for instance, that.if the bricklayers declare a strike this year, the co-operation of the masters in the allied trades can be called for by the Builders\u2019 Exchange ahd a general lockout declared until such \u2018time as the strikers secede.7 | Whilst at the Builders\u2019 Exchange such an idea is pooh poohed, leading mm naively state that such a proceeding would not be beyond the possibilities of the newly formed alliance.; Similar federations in other trades a._ other cities have generally meant an early trial of strength between the united masters and the united trade unions, but if auch a thing is being contemplated in Montreal, no hint of it is being allowed to leak out from the various executives.TWO TOWNS BURIED Earthquake in Russian Turkestan Results in Widespread Destruction- st.Petersburg, Jan.5.\u2014A despatch {+m Tashkend, Russian Turkestan, %3s there are unconfirmed rumors pr the towrs of - Przhevalsk and \u201clipek, in the territory of Semire- : nsk, were destroyed by yesterday's -1thquake, and that a lake bas form- «tu the site of the former place.+I town has a population of about I] mmunicatior with the disturbed t'on is still ir,possible, and the Gov- ent here has no advices to-day tantiating the .latest alarming corts, ti i e TS SOCIALISTS\u2019 PROTEST.© Socialists of Montreal will hold | 453 meeting in the Labor Temple | Sunday afternoon to \u2018protest \u2018ist the trial, behind closed doors, Pr.Kotoku and other 'Japahese lists, whose only érime appear that they \u2018are socialists.-Dr.1 was One of the delegates at | Stittgart conferénce, which was \u201chile the Russo-Japanese war vies en, avd Russian fae i Tapa- l'l-zates met on friendly terms \u201cx Luieir esuntrymen were Hghting.¢ - \u201cfot ow long peritd MONTREAL DRY DOCKS | Company.Likely to.Reach Agreement for Construction With Government, : Ottawa, Jan.5\u2014It is stated: here that the promoters of the Montrez! dry-dock Bcheme will notify-their de-| tio mands in regard to a Government subsidy in such a way that the differences which exist wiil be -hridged over and the subsidy granted.One of the pofnts of difference has been that the company has asked for progress payments, whereas tie law provides for payment ol the subsidy only when the work is éempleted.The modified proposal, it is expécted, will be more in conformity \u2018large sum on.the conservation and \u2018renewal of Canadian, Le proposéd that \"the.as!

As he did so thè figure glided bac into the shadows.The bushes, -which .seemed to \u2018have crept nearer to the fire listening, until.their black leaves were tipped with red light, swallowed him up and for a full minute the droning ceased.The silence which followed was more ominous even than that incessant muttering.The intent scrutiny of those watching eyes made itself felt.At last the chief spoke.\u2018The white dog dreams in his sleep,\u2019 he said, \u2018but his eyes are shut,\u2019 and at once the figure returned and took its place in the muttering circle.Good hunter as Khelowna was, he made a His forest training should have taught him, that the hunted feign often.If he had remembered that, Jim Combe might.not have recognized in the fifth .igure, Davies\u2019 murderer, an Indian who had been wahted by the police for the last three years.\u2018As \"it was Jim Combe knew hat kind ef a gars was travelling.the;

and the tiny chick-a-dees began to call among the boughs, warning their woodmates that thôbe silént.footed things who use the \u2018fire stick\u2019 were moving n An their lairs, and would soon be creep- up towards the high place whither ea fed stays were already sauntering for a day's siesta after a long night's feed.: With the first hint of light, a busy stir began in the Indians\u2019 camp, even before that the women must have been moving in thelr lean-to, for Emma bent and old began to put out strangely compounded -packs, blankets roljed and.corded, and bloody parcels .of meat.' .Then the lean-tos came down and they were dissolved into packs and before.the dawn had come, the Indian camnp was completely dismantled, the pack horses loaded with.hides and meat: and everything ready for.a start - The Indians were apparently not going to stay to cook breakfast.It had been a successful hunt even.for the Chilcotens and every Hving t An camp, except the braves, cdr- ried - packs.Of céurse :the braves ~ 5 ;

the income from premiums and interest amounted to over $1,370,000, an increase of $165,000.A new record was also made in the amount of surplus earnings, out of which profits to policy- \u2018holders are pald, thé net surplus over and above all Liabilities, including policy reserves, now amounting to over $770,000.It is also noted that the death losses were again below those which were to be expected according to the standard tables of mortality.The rate of interest realized on the company\u2019s funds was 6.52 per cent, an increase of .40 over that earned in 1909.This favorable rate is due to the fact that about 65 per /cent.of thé company's assets consist of first mortgages on improved farm lands in western Canada.The policyholders and others having interest in \u2018this strong, progressive Canadian .company are to be congratulated upon the marked success which -has uniformly characterized its operations, and especially the success of the year just closed., Mr.H.LeRdy Shaw, the Company's Provincial Manager at Montreal, states that the business at «the Montreal agency during the past year was most satisfactory, and that prospects point to 2 Ter greatly increased business n .: when that Indian shot the dog 2\u2019 \u2018Did I, -Miss Kitty?I beg your par- den.Did you want to see him do it?promt be stupid.Why did you do \u2018Didn\u2019t know as- I did do-it.\u2019 ] \u2018Didn't you, Jim?I think you did.old friend;

time there still lingered traces of contempt for- the French- Canadians, on account of the outbreak of 1837.Such feelings did not evaporate quickly.Consequently, a large number of people were utterly
