(By Canadian Press) New York, Jan. 26.--Mystery to- day cloaked the fate of the Italian freighter Capo Vado, which sent out an SOS last night and then lapsed into silence.

NEW PLAN DEVISED TO MEASURE THE VELOCITY OF WIND Washington, Jan. 26.--A fine, elec- trically heated wire about one fifth the diameter of a human hair and a fivetube amplifier are being used to measure wind velocities at the Bureau of Standards, aceording to the Department of Commerce. Uniform and steady air currents so that the conditions of flow around airplanes may be accurately repro- duced, are sought by the bureau, but air tends to flow in ripples and waves. Such disturbances often cause difficulty in securing accurate results. Quantitative methods of measuring the amount of these dis- turbances are available for the first time by this new method, according to the bureau. The wind measured is produced in wind tunnels. Provision has been made for the bonusing of five seel cleaning ma- chines to be placed at centers throughout the provinee of Nova Scotia. The dominion and Nova Scotia governments will share equally in the bonusing of these a dust-content survey of the air. machines. Smuts to Move Non-Confidence Vote in Government of Hertzog Capetown, South Africa, Jan. 26. ~--A vigorous attack on the Gov- ernment of Gen. J. B. M.

OPERATION ON LINER AS GALE RAGES LINER AURANIA HALTS ON SEAS AS DOCTORS SAVE LIFE Patient is Expected to Re- cover from Operation for Peritonitis (By Canadian Press) Halifax, Jan, 26.--When tho | Cunarder Aurania was in' the midst of a Hu-mi.c gale and buck- ing mountainous seas in mid-At- lantic, a forced major operation for acute peritonitis was perform- ed on Mrs, Nora P, Harvey, a cabin passenger, by F. H. Shaw, ships surgeon, asgisted by Miss G. Cowle, a woman doctor who is en route to New York on the liner. The operation was made at 11 o'clock on Tuesday night whie the ship was hove to, about 50 miles west of where the British steamer '1eesbriuge is bedieved to have foundered little more than a day previous. The fact became known when the Aurania arrived here this afternoon. Cap.ain C. M. Wray, R.D., R.N.R., who joined the Cunard Line in 1905, stated that this is the first time in his career that he has heard of such a serious opera.ion being per- iormed at sea. It is believed that Mrs, Harvey will recover, With the big ship s.owed down so as to allow just steering way, the operating table was moved to a position where the swaying of the ship would affect it the least. For 40 minutes the Aurania lay almos. motionless until the opera- tion was completed, Others who assisted were Miss Vera Gudgeon and F. Sargent, ship's nurse and dispenser. Immediately on the ar- rival of the ship Mrs. Harvey was taken to the Victoria General Hos- pital, where her condition, though serious, is reported to be as satis- fac.ory as may be expected. Mrs. Harvey was travelling un- accompanied from her home in Hove, Sussex, to Vancouver. Be- fore sailing she had just recover- ed from an attack of pneumonia and was advised by her physicians not to travel for five weeks. She embarked on the present voyage after the lapse of less than a week, and the attack of peritonitis is a.tributed to the pneumonia, Although Dr. Shaw is credited with saving the life of Mrs. Har- vey against heavy odds he refused to discuss the subject. "'Profes- sional men never speak of those .hings at home," he said.

W. Rogers Attacks Dual Capacity of Officers SHARP CRITICISMS Engineer's Report Says No Gold Values of Any Con- sequence Found in Mine Toronto, Jan. 20.--~The Ontario gov- ernment made public last night the results of its investigation, under the security Frauds Prevention Act, into the affairs of Jackson-Manion Mines, Ltd. The whole story of this project, from the time of its capitalization down to the moment when street whispering over sudden and sharp decline in price of the stock preci- pitated the Attorney-General's or- der for a searching inquiry, is told in a report made to Hon. William H. Price, by Arthur W. Rogers, the departmental solicitor who conducted the investigation, Not Sparing in Criticism Mr. Rogers is not sparing in his language. Sharp criticism is made of the attitude of Managing Director H. E. Harcourt and Mine Manager Dayid M. Thompson for misrepresen- tation of facts, and failure to pro- vide proper assay plans, C. D, Kead- ing, well-known mining engineer, who with Andrew Doriman, another eng- incer, examined the mine property for the underwriting syndicate, is alleged to have used information acquired in the course of confidential inquiry for his own profit, * How any mining engineer of repute could justify such a proceeding, re- marks Mr Rogers, was more than he could understand. Mr. Rogers refers pointedly to the activities of certain brokerage hou- ses that were concerned with trans- actions in this stock, and adds that "there are some aspects of their act- ivities which are still under investiga- | tion" but regarding whose position in the matter at stake he can offer no conclusions at the present time. Condemns Dual Capacity The danger of a mining engineer having connection with a brokerage house while he is still an officer or consultant of 2 mining company is stressed at length by Mr. Rogers. He says that he has found in this and other similar investigations that thc reports given out by an engineer un- der such circumstances are bound to be highly colored. "In my opinion," he adds, "both the company and the department will have to consider whether Mr, Harcourt should be al- lowed to continue in this dual capa- city." In a lesser extent, Mr. Rogers applies his remarks to Douglas Wright, consulting engineer, who, as a partner of Denman and Company, Toronto brokers, "did perhaps more than his fair share in depressing the stock, along with Mr. Dorfman" It is made plain by Mr. Rogers that, while Mr. Kaeding brought a- bout a large "short" sale--an action "from which he expects to profit" says the report, "and cannot under all the circumstances be too strongly condemned."--the direstors of the company did not sell their holdings. These included, explains Mr. Rogers, in addition to Mr. Harcourt, W. J. Sheppard and J. B. Tudhope, who held large blocks of free stock from the underwriting syndicate, "with which they apparently thought," notes the report, "it was unfair to flood the market." "It may be unfair and unreason- able," stresses Mr. Rogers, "to at- tempt to draw any inference from the action of the other members of Premier Hertzog said the reso- the British Empire. local smow flurries. the syndicate."

She received scant sym- pathy. "I think your father is right," declared the magistrate. "What business has a girl like you to stay out after 10 at night? It is quite late enough and you should obey your father." The ruling has aroused much discussion. At the first blush, says one commentator, sympathy should go out to the girl who in a year from now will have a vote as good as her father's. Those who re- member Arnold Bennett's pre-war- time play "Milestone's" will re- call the smile that was raised when the old lady in the early Victorian scene expressed her horrified ap- prehension that girls "will be want- ing to ride on the tops of omni- buses next." In those days wor- thy people were dismayed even at the sight of bold young women playing croquet with curates. And one needs not to be so very old to remember when the propriety of reintroduced as soon as practi- | cable. women riding bicycles was a seri- ious matter of discussion.
