This plan, devised at a conference of religious denominations, social workers and service organizations yesterday, presided over by Brig- Gen. D. C.

The conference decided to present a petition to the Government em- bodying these views and asking the selection of a competent official, qual- ified for the position, and able to cope with duties of the character called for with due understanding and sympathy.

Britain's stipulation that she be left the right to self defence in outlying territories is seized upon by opponents of the Treaty as a special consideration.

Loss of Power Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., Jan. 12.-- Loss of power by the Michigan Northern Power Company, due to high water in the river, has reduc- ed the capacity of the Union Car- bide Furnaces and reduced the pro- duction of carbide to a degree where about 100 men of the pack- ing department and drum factory were given a holiday. Tifée condi- tion is not expected to last long and production will jump to normal as soon as the water in the lower riv- er goes down to a point where the Michizan Northern will be receiv- ing its full head. Lose Horsepower It is estimated that the power company is losing in the neighbor- hood of 800 horsepower due to the fact that the high water in the lower river has reduced the head two feet or more. = Some trouble with slush ice is also being experi- enced. The rise in the lower riv- er is being caused primarily by ice jams at six-mile point and at the lower end of the dyke. The reduced head of water fis also affecting the Edison Sault and the power company here. How- ever, the Edison Sault under the best conditions uses only about 70 per cent of the potential power, hence it is in a position to compen- sate for the reduced head by in- creased flow.

The Council refused to admit Captain Hart, one of tne Army's officers, who came to propose a last minute compromise over the question of leadership of the Army. He was formerly secretary to Gen- eral William Booth, the founder, and said, "I object very strongly to the General being dismissed in this way." Promotion Captain Hart's plan was that General Booth, instead of being dismissed should be promoted to Field Marshall, and two councils, one administrative and one advis- ory, etsablished under him, scene Shift Southwold, Eng., Jan. 12.--The scehe in the drama which is being buil. around the fight for control of the Saivation Army shifted Fri- day from Sunbury-on-Thames to the secluded retreat of General Bramwell Booth at Southwold, Here occurred a succession of events culminating in a fruitless visit by the sick commander's sis- ter, leader of the Army's reform element, the facing of the general on his bed by the deputation seek- ing his retirement as their leader, and the announcement later that he would snswer their request on Monday, Army circles looked forward to a meeting today at Sunbury-in- Thames of the High Council where its committee of seven is to report its meeting with General Bop bh. Lawsuit Looms One important decision will face the High Council meeting, that is, whether Wiliam A. Jowitt, K.C., who has been retained to act for General Boo.h, will be allowed to aitend and address the council. There was a feeling in some circles that the engagement of Mr. Jowitt might mean that the dispute was to end in a great lawsuic over the control of the Army's property Early in the forenoon the dep- utation of seven high Salvation Army officiais, who spent the night at an inn at Ipswich with the reso- lution of the High Council asking retirement of the aged comman- der-in-chief in their keeping, made their first trip to Southwold villa, where for months the Booth fam- ily has sought to preserve its in- Cognito and escape public curiosity. Ew. There But the deputation was not to fulfill its errand so soon; they had not received a mno.e requesting them to withhold their visit until afternoon and the nurse refused to allow them to visit the sick room.

The case last night was that of an unidentified man about 35 years old who collapsed on the sidewalk in front of 33 East Montcalm street at 345 pm. The man's skin, over his entire body, was said to have be- come perceptibly darker between the time when he was first picked up and the time when oxygen first was ad- ministered in the hospital in an at- tempt to revive him. Several hours later oxygen still was being administered to the victim, but he had mot recovered conscious- ness. Blood transfusion was resorted to. The man's' clothing, when he was brought into the hospital, exuded a noticeably strong odor which hospital attendants were unable to identify, but which was reminiscent of shoe polish. i Dr. Thomas K. Gruber, superin= tendent of the hospital, said the clo~ thing will be analyzed by chemists in an effort to determine if it con- tains poison which would act upom the skin. be Inasmuch as the first two wictims at the hospital recovered, no great attention was paid to the cause of their plight. The appearance of a third case, on the heels of the two mentioned, aroused interest, especial- ly as the peculiar odor irom the clo~ 96; Oats, March, 49%; May 497%. thing was exceptionally noticeable. a
