DECLARES BRITAIN SEEKING COLONIES Former Governor of Ger man East Africa Makes Charge Berlin, March f.--Heinrich Schnee, former governor of Ger- man East Africa, addressing a col- onial society meeting here Friday attacked what he termed "Eng- land's schemes' in Tanganyakli. as- serting that the British plans were tantamount annexation. He said that if Britain's plans were con- summated it would be impossible for Germany to recover the East Africa colonies that were Cer- many"s in the future, After the world war, Schnee said, President Woodrow Wilson frustrated a British project to ac- quire the bulk of German colonies as booty. 'Now, eight years after signing of the Versailles Treaty, England is planning to confront the world with the accomplished fact of Kast Africa's annexation Foreign newspapers report a plan to cede Germany certain Portu guese colonies.

FOWKE Chairman: BUILDS DEATH CHAIR TO TRY OUT THRILL AND DIES INSTANTLY Spokane, Wash.,, Mareh 6--Ex- periments of a high school boy whose interest had been aroused by accounts of the electrocution of criminals have caused the death of Kenneth ¥'. Brooks, 16, in an elec- trie chair of his own manufacrure. A coroner's jury, unwilling to accept the theory that the hoy had employed a novel method of com- mitting suicide, decided Friday that young Brooks' death was acci- dental and the result of "an in- complete knowledge of electricity.' The boy's rigid body was found in a crudely wired chair. Kenneth had taken an ordinary chair in his hedroom and wired it from an elec- tric light socket. Handcuffs were locked about the youth's wrists, and a slender chain _ contacting with the current carrying wire, eir- cled the ankles and body, The elec- tricity had been turned on by a pull switch which was tightly clasp- ed in the boy's hand. Apparently the youth wanted to experience the thrill of an electro- cution, thinking that the voltage of the light wire was insufficient to harm him. After arranging him- self in the chair, in the manner of a man -eondemned to death, he pulled the switch, The current, contacting with his -body in many places because of the handcuffs and chain, killed him instantly, JAPANESE EMPEROR IS ILL WITH FLU, PREMIER ALSO SICK Tokio, March 5--With a serious ep idemic of Influenza raging here, Fm peror Hirohito was confined to hed with a feverish cold and Premier Tanaka was also suffering from one Deaths from Influenza average 58 : day.

Abdul Aziz, 1bn Saoud, Sultan of Nejd, and self-styled King of the Hedjaz, who since 1901 has brought the Wahabi dynasty from exile to a dominant position in Ar- abla, has added rifles, ammuni- tion, food and probably men to the moral support which he had previ- ously been giving desert raiders on the frontiers: of the British man- dates in Iraq, Koweit and Transjor- dania, Thus the intermittent warfare on the northern borders of the great Arabian desert has suddenly turm- ed from fights with robber 'bands into a proposition of having Tom- my Atkins face the whole might of the Wahabis, Three small British warships in Koweit Bay, at the head of the Persian Gulf, a British alr force in Iraq and scattered outposts are confronted with the task of holding in check the most powerful combi- nation of tribes in all Arabia. These fighters of the desert are filled with reforming zeal and a contempt for death comparable only with the fanaticism of the Madhists of the Sudan, Appeal to Sword Messengers from Koweit who have just arrived at Basra, Iraq, report that Thn Saoud told a recent conference of tribesmen that, find- ing shattered his hopes of bringing back the "infidels" of Koweit, Iraq and Transjordania to Islam hy neaceful methods, he had decided to appeal to the sword. Hitherto, Ibn Saoud has been friendly toward the British, and only a year ago signed a treaty with them. But reprisals hy the Iraq Air Force against Arablan frontier raiders, resulting in deaths to the reported number of x00, have seemingly changed this at- titude. It was this same Ibn Saoud who, in December, 1923, overthrew the last remnant of the Kingdom of Hedjaz, created as part of the Allies' movements agaimst Turkey in the Great War. Monarch V Ibn Saoud himself played most- ly a negative role in the conflict. He allied himself with Great Bri- tain, but was held in check by Ibn Rashid, who is in alliance with the Turks. At the end of the war, however, active fighting broke out between the rival Bedouin leaders over the Oasis of Khurma, and Ibn Saoud won that point on his west: ern frontier. From there he stead- ily extended his dominions, finally leading the survivors of the Rasnig dynasty into captivity. Om Jan. 8, 1926, in the Holy City of Mecea, he was proclaimed Xing of the Hedjaz and Sultan of Nejd and its dependencies. Now, with characteristic swift- ness, his tributary tribes are form- ing against the British mandates. Their projected expedition against Iraq and Koweit is said to be based upon an initial force of 20,000 dos- ert fighters. 158,884 IMMIGRANTS TO CANADA IN 1927 Ottawa, March 5.--Immigrants coming to Canada during 1927 to- talled 158,884, according to a re- turn tabled by Hon.
