But even the prospect of early and definite police action was overshadowed by several densational aftermaths of the crime. CLUES LACKING Chicago, Tlls., Feb, 16--Theories-- as the ,dsual second-day grist of a hundg€d other gang killings--were all ing#stigators had tonight after un- asing efforts to find the gunmen who yesterday trapped and summar- ily executed seven members of the powerful north side gang. One theory, so sensational that it created a furore in official circles, was that hi-jacking Chicago police- man, disgruntled at refusal of the Moran gang to pay them protection money, had themselves invaded the Moran stronghold, lined up the seven men found there and shot them to death in retaliation and to avoid ex- posure. This theory was advanced by Major Fred D. Silloway, assist- ant prohibition administrator, who made clear that it was only a theory ilthough he said he was in possession f facts supporting it. Commissioner of Police Russell aid: "No matter who did it I am is out to get them and clean this case|k He characterized Major Sillo- - ap." way's theory as "all rot." Another theory was advanced by John A. Swanson, state's attorney. He expressed the belief that the idea |! | of having enemies of the Moran gang garbed as policeman, invade | their stronghold, was obtained by | the slayers from a fiction story ap- pearing recently in a national week- ly, and that Detroit gangsters, mem- bers of the "purple mob," had been imported to the actual killing.

Amusing to Canadian London, Feb. 16--(By George Hambleton, staff corespondent of The Canadian Press)--After shivering in the fringe of the cold wave which gripped Eastern Europe, warmer weather was predicted today in Eng- land, London is thawing out. One newspaper cartoon today depicts England as an iceberg drifting on the Polar sea. A fearsome headline in another tells of a heavy fall of snow in London last night which in LIQUOR CONTROL ACT IS AGAIN THE LINELIGHT / Toronto, Feb, 16,--F., G, Sandy, Progressive M.P.P, for South Vie- toria, bitterly attacked the Liquor Control act Thursday in the legis- lature, continuing the debate on the speech from the throne. "The other day," he began, "the premier asked the Liberal leader, 'Don't you really know in the bot- tom of your heart that we have a good government in Ontario?' If I was a brewer or a distiller I would say 1 agree with the pre- mier., I would say, 'Yes, you have thrown open the doors for our busi- ness.' "' The rising of the house at six o'clock interrupted Mr, Sandy's speech, Resuming after the din- | ner recess, he continued. "Since the liquor interests have become so prosperous it must be warming to their simon-pure na- tures to know that some of their money went to assist the Conserva- tive funds." Business, declared Mr. Sandy, had been affected by the sale of liquor, One grocer had said his three hours "was actually from one to two inches deep." For half a mile the "iccbound Thames" has ice a of ponds within hailing distance of London the ice is so thick the skater may venture without fear of going through, It has been all very unusual and, to a Canadian, rather amusing, A- round London at any rate the open air had the tang that makes one long for a pair of skis and a fall of real snow. But in the houses and hotels it 18 a different story. There one feels the cold. Few, except the more lux- urious have hot-water heating throughout although this system 1s common in cven the smaller hotels in France. And with many hostelries, the large open fire places of Pick- wickian days have disappeared, The stringency of the war and the 1926 strikes forced the use of diminutive gas or electric heaters similar to those in Canada to take the chill from ated bathroom. So London shivers as it hasn't shi- vered many years, Domestic wa- ter s ms thaw out in the daytime only to freeze again at night. The bedrooms have am icy chill and to take a bath demands a spirit of med- ieval martyrdom, In honor of his fiftieth anniversary in the ministry of St. George's con- grezation, Moncton, tendered a re- ception to their venerable and be- loved' rector, Rey.

My question to him is. Why has there been no investigation?" Premier Ferguson: "I believe the other act was in force 10 years 'and had that time in which to try {out enforcement. Will my friend ! give this act half that time?" Mr, Sandy replied that he was against sale of liquor ip any man- ner. "I believe it should be handled like any appetite-forming drug," he declared. "In the matter of education, I think we should foi low Manitoba and teach the young pecple." Premier Ferguson: been in Manitoba?" "Yes," "What did there?" Mr. Sandy: "I can only repeat what a friend said, that prohibi- tion at its worst is better than government sale at its best."

AVERTED AS CASTS VOTE Cafiberra, Australia, Feb. 16, -- The Speaker's casting vote saved the Government from defeat in the se of Representatives after a rce battle in which both sides ied their utmost to outwit the ther in use of the rules of pro- cedure. The present battle between Australian Labor and the Federal Arbitration Court was the indireet cause of the parliamentary struggte. A Labor member, Coleman, rose to move for production of the pa- pers in connection with the Federal Court's allowances to postal em- ployees. The fact that the Govern- ment proposes to disallow the award gave the motion considerable im- portance. Premier Stanley Bruce rose to object to the "attempt to take parliamentary business out of the hands of the Government," but was ruled out of order. Cole- man rose triumphantly, on which the Prime Minister again objected, but his appeal was disallowed, as the motion had not been moved. There were delirious shouts from the Labor benches as Cole- man moved the resolution calling for the papers. Premier Bruce lodg- ed an amendment to the effect that Coleman should not be heard and this was carried by 33 to 34 votes, Wild scenes ensued, the Labor mem- bers shouting "'bushrangers are gentlemen compared with you." Seconding Coleman's motion, James Henry Scullin, Labor leader, accus- 'Have you you think of it ps | ed the Government of smashing the court's award even while the Prime Minister was preaching to the tim- ber workers to obey the awards handed them.
