PACE NINE Says Arctic Disaster In quity Doing An Injustice to Nobile Prague, Czecho Slovakia, March 6.~--Prof. Franz Behounek, Czech scientist, who accompanied Gen. Umberto Nobile in the Italia expe- dition to the North Pole, said that the Italian investigation of the dis- aster was dong Nobile an injustice because it was held 'chiefly to clear Zappl and Mariano." + Behounek has just from Rome, where he testified at the investdzation, Capt Filippo ppi and Capt. Alberto Mariano ere two Italian naval officers of the: dition who accompaniel Dr, Finn Malmgren, wedish meteoro- logist, on a trek toward land after the dirigible Italia crashed, Malm- gren dled en route, and no com- returned Pletely satisfactory explanation of is death has yet been offered. Nobile, who 1s upheld by Behou- nek, has been JVihed entirely into the background, the scientist said, by the board of naval officers in- vestigating the disaster. Behounek said Natalle Cecloni, engineer, whose leg was broken in the crash, especially had attacked Nobile, charging he was solely re- sponsible for the disaster. Behou- nek sald the charge was without foundation, as the crash came sud- denly, and was impossible to avert, Behounek was granted an audi- ence hy the Pope in Rome, and sald, the Pope was "one of the few people in Italy doing justice to Gen- eral Nobile." PRIESTS IN MEXICO "NOW REGISTERING Mexico City, Mar, 5.--It is ex- cted that most of the 1,000 priests the Federal district will have compiled by to-night with the Gov- ernment regulation requiring them to register their residences, To-day was the last day to regis- ter and failure to do so carries the penalty of being considered a rebel, The Interior Department warned Government employees yesterday that they would be punished as re- belg if they became "implicated in seditious activities of the fanatical _ clergy." Issuing the warning, the Depart- ment cited the case of Antonio Mar- tinel de Castro, chief assessor of the Federal District, who was turn- ed over to the anthorities on a charge of possessing subversive lite erature in his home, TRINITY GOLLEGE CHAPEL BURNED Old Toronto Building Falls Prey to Flames in Spec tacular Blaze Toronto, Mar. 5.--One fireman suffered minor injuries and the chapel of old Trinity college, Queen street west, was completely gutted by a blaze of unknown origin which broke out in the des- erted edifice shortly after 7 o'clock last evening, Handicapped by dense clouds of smoke and hampered because the flames were confined in a blind attic formed by double roofing, the brigade under personal direc- tion of Chief William Russell, r3- sisted by Deputy Chief Duncan McLean and District Chief William Corbett, fought the outbreak through four stubborn hours, Their efforts confined the fire to one building. But because of peculiar interior construction, the chapel was left as a skeleton when the blaze was extinguished, KING LIKES DESIGN OF WOLFE STATUE London--The King has approved of the design for the monument for Gen.

CLAIMS GOLF CLUBS AID TO SALESMAN Bradford, England--Adding to the Prince of Wales' recent appeal for better salesmanship methods by Bri- tish business men, D, H. Hacking, Under Secretary for Ovearseas Trade, told Yorkshire members of the Textile Institute to take their golf clubs with them, "Many an order has been obtained through a friendly chat on the four- teenth tee before business is even mentioned," he said, He declared heads of firms who adopted the per- sonal method of investigating over- seas markets were generally fully satisfied, 1t was urgently important for the producer to have prompt and accurate information on the needs of the consumer and personal contact by the head of the firm was often more effective than the reports of agents, he pointed out. .

Horse Mourns His Dead "aster And Refuses to Touch Food New York, March 5.--The only band which ever fed Brownie, a beautiful dark bay horse, his three meals a day, is stilled in death, #nd for six days the super-sensitive animal has not eaten a mouthful. f ever a horse mourned thé pass- g of his master, Brownie is eving for Sgt. James A, Dow- ing, a mounted police. , For 15 years Dowling was Brownie's master, and they were never separated for more than a few days at a time, While the body of Dowling was lying ia state in his home, Brownie was all unconscious of the disaster. He missed his master's presence, but then he had been separated before for a few days at a time, and he nonchalantly went on his way, con- fident of Dowling's return. : One day went by! Two days passed! Brownie began to prick up his ears in the stable at each foot- step. His master had left his manger full of hay and his large oat bag overflowing, knowing that Brownie was a wise horse who never overate., On the third day Brownie became a litte impatient, he whinonied from time to time as if expecting to be answered. He stamped about his stall. He pull- ed at the rope which fastened his head to the manger. He wanted to be off on the road, helping, with all his equine dignity, to keep the traffic running smoothly in the jower part of Manhatten. But no one came, It was lonely here, in a dark stable with no one to speak in low, cajolicg tones, no one to ~'a2p his flapks and call him pet -~mes and urge him on to do his =st. ' : Then suddenly the stable door opened. Brownie was exulted. At last Dowling had come! But, turnicg his head around, he saw was a strange man who approached . him. Perhaps the strange man would bring him to his master, he thought. The man harnessed him without a word ana led him from the stable, He even mounted him, Brownie sniffed iu disdain at this. Strange man on his back--funny! The man took him to the head of a long line of vehicles waiting outside his mas- ter's home, and Brownie couldn't understand this, but he stood quietly for about ten minutes. Then suddenly he sensed some- thing, Was it his master ap- proaching him? He turped "is head toward the house, but he only saw men-creatures with bared heads carrying a long narrow box on their shoulders, He watched it curiously, He pricked up his ears. The men approached him and passed slowly by him. Sud- denly, just as the box drew up opposite him, he fairly went mad. That box--why! in that box his master lay, What were they do- ing with him? He whinnied. He neighed. He screeched weirdly, and the crowd were frightened. The man who rode him could hardly control him. All the way to the cemetery Prownfe acted like 2 mad creature, but he followed, followed on. "Ye muet see where they were taking his master. And then they took his master from him forever. Since last Monday, when he body was interred, Brownie has not eaten a bite. It is as if he realized that the one man creature was gone forever. He paws the ground and his head is bent. People claim he is ome of the finest horses in the police foree in that district if only he can be brought around to accept another master. "If"--that little word. Could Brownie talk he might re- mark, "The people know little #f they do mot know 'the love and loyalty of a good horse for a good master." 1 on earth, the king of his world.|' GENERALDAWES RETURNS T0 BANK Washington, Mar, 5.--~The sant world stood the gainer yesterday as Charles Dawes let stip tne mantle of the Vice-Presidency after a four year interlude in' high station of American politics, i A financier of domestic and in-} ternation reputation before he came into the office which he now turns over to Charles Curtis of Kansas, Dawes once more becomes the head of a great banking house in Chi. cago which he founded years ago, but this time as a man free to de vote his talents to the public in terest wherever he may be called.

ONTARIO MINERAL PRODUCTION SHOWS NEW HIGH RECORD Mines Produced Over $100, 000,000 During the Year 1928 Toronto, Mar, §5.--During 1928, for the first time in the history of the province, Ontario's mineral roduction exceeded $100,000,000 n value, according to the year's re- port which was issued yesterday by the statistics branch of the provin- cal department of mines. It was a nickel and copper year, A jump of more than $11,000,000 in the production of these two me- tals was responsible for the record- breaking total, the report shows. Gold and silver production both dropped off although gold was still the largest item in the report, ac- counting for $32,688,817, It had been forecast previously that the hundred million mark would be passed in 1928. The to- tal production value for the year was §100,238,933, an increase of 11 per cent. above 1927 when the aggregate value was $90,283,447, Metallic ore--gold, silver, nickel, copper, etc.,--accounted for $71, 199,917 of the total value, an in- crease of 13.7 per cent over 1927. Due to a heavier demand for building supplies, structural mater- ials showed a rise of more than half a million dollars, having a to- tal value of $14,688,210. Non-me- tallic minerals, with a total of $7, 679,133, were only $30,000 higher than in 1927, Clay products, how- ever, were up nearly $800,000, showing a total value of $6,671, 573. In the latter field, items showing the greatest advance were sewer pipe and structural tile, an- other significance of greater build- W.E N. SINCLAIR IN TILT WITH SPEAKER Liberal Leader Sponsors the Cause of a Conservative Member Toronto, Mar. 5. -- An unusual situation arose yesterday after- noon in the legislature when the house witnessed the spectacle of the Libera] leader, W, E, nN. Sinclair, clashing with the speaker, Hon. W, D. Black, because the latter had ruled out of order a Conservative member, Col. J, A. Currie of St, Patrick's. It happened that the speaker's ruling prevented Col. Currie from tabling a report in which Mr, Sinc- lair expressed deep interest. The report was that of the printing committee of which Col. Currie is chairman, Apparently the colonel held it a moment too long, for when he rose to present it, the speaker told him the time for presenting reports was past, The house was now on the next order of business and he would have to wait another day before he could get in the report. In vain Col. Currie pleaded that this .re- port was necessary before the ses sional papers could be printed, Protest by Sinclair Mr, Sinclair was immediately on his feet in protest. He contended that the rules might easily be stretched a point to allow the re- ception of this important report, "We are little too particular about this and not so particular about or- ders on public bills," he told the speaker caustically. But the speaker was adamant, "Notwithstanding what the mem- ber for St. Patrick's may say, and notwithstanding what the Liberal leader has thrown in that I am particular in some things and not in others," he declared, "I have rul- ing activity. ed that this report is out of order." regular services were held at Ebenezer on Sunday, and our pastor, Rev. J, H. Stainton, occu- | pied the pulpit in both church ser: vices. All services were well at- tended and all were benefitted by being present. Rev. Stainton's text in the morning was found in Acts 26: 19 and in the evening he gave an illustrated talk on the "Lite of Samuel". The choir ren- dered beautiful music in both services. Sunday School held a good session in the afternoon. A special collection was taken in the Sunday School for the "Miners' Relief Fund", which amounted to nearly $20. The Senior Boys' Class had already forwarded $5 to the same fund, thus making a total of $26 from Ebenezer Sunday School. The Annual Congregational I seting of Ebenezer Church will be held on Tuesday evening, March held early in the evening, begin- ning at 6.30 o'clock.
