The only thing the delegates stuck upon was one section of the immigration resolution, Section 8, curtly subscrib- ing to "Oriental exclusion." Sir George Foster wondered if the. big DPominion Conservative. convention could not, at least. be more polite to some hundred millions of Hindus, British snbjects all. and several huh- dred millions of Chinése and Japa- nese. He moved for its return to the Resolutions Committee. An amending amendment came from the convention to substitute: "Exclusion of such races as are not capable of ready assimilation." A warning followed from Saskatchewan that such declaration would be mis- understood bv non-Anglo-Saxons in the West, to tha political hurt of the Conservative party. The conventién saw the nolitical point, and after Sir George Foster, who had withdrawn his amendment, had hastily reintro-@ + duced it.. the convention sent the resolution back for redraft. Hon, L. P. D. Tilley of St. John.

T. R. Bavin Becomes Premier on Overthrow of Labor Party Sydney, Australia, Ort, 12. -- The defeat of Premier Lang's Labor Gov- ernment in the New South Wales' elec- tions last Saturday brings Hon. Thomas Rainsford Bavin into the premiership. Mr. Bavin is the leader of . the Nationalist Party, which will have the support of the Country Party. He has been the leader of the Opposition, composed of a coalition of these two parties, for the last few years. Mr. Bavin was barn in New Zealand 52 years ago. He is the son of a clergyman, and for 30 years has prac- ticed law, specializing in industrial legislation. He entered politics in 1917, where his strong personality brought him rapidly to the front in spite 'of his lack of characteristics which usually engender political popu- larity. : Late counting of the returns in creases the leadership of the anti-Labor forces. The combined Nationalist and Country party will probably hold 50 seats in the new House as against 40 for Labor. GOSGRAVE HEADS DAIL FIREANN Is Re-elected President of the Irish Free State Council Dublin, Oct. 11--William Cos- grave, sitting in the new Dail Ei- reann here today as Deputy from Cork, was re-elected President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State by a margin of six votes after a three-hour debate. During it he heard himself portrayed by a Fianna Fail orator as a renegade Irishman, who had helped put to death his comrades of the former struggle for Irish independence, and who new ruled the country in the interests of Great Britain. The diatibe of Sean O'Kelly, Ea- mon de Valera's aide, stung Pre- mier Cosgrave to make a bitter re- tort after his victory. The exchange of vebal shots between him and the Opposition benches which followed revealed in a few swift words how | fiercely burns the feud between the leaders of the old Irish Republican Army. It augurs ill for the tran quillity and constructive statesman- ship of the Dail, in which the feud- ists sat: facing each other, The above group shows delegates from this constituency who &veattending the From left to right, A.

At 7.15 they gave a demonstration of fire fighting apparatus and methods in connection with a sham fire in front f the Fire Hall. on \W:liam street between Simcoe and Prince streets. First came a demonstration of the motor pumper, which was followed by tests of speed and technical fire-fight- ing work by competing companies of the fire department. This included cot pling of hose and nozzles with ac- curacy tests in throwing streams of water, four demountable targets be- ing used. These tests were followed by demon- strations of fire extinguishers on a gasoline flame. These showed quite conclusively that it is an impossibility 10 successfully combat an oil flame with a soda-and-acid type of extin- guisher, whereas the foam type com- pletely smothers the flame. After this demonstration the fire- men formed up in a parade which comprised the Ontario Regimental Band, the fire chief with fireman marching four abreast, and fire appa- ratus. The /route of the parade was, from the fire hall south on Simcoe street to Bruce street, then east on 'Bivee street to Ritson Road, north to King street, then via King and Sim- coe streets to the Armoriés, where a program and dance was given free of charge by the Fire Department.
