FIELDING FORMER MINISTER, DIES AT OTTAWA The Life of Canada's Great Public Servant Flickered Out Last Night AN ASTUTE POLITICIAN Had Suffered Many Strokes During Five Years as an Invalid Ottawa, June 24.--TLke Domin- fon of Canada was last night berett of one of her most distinguished statesmen when following a stroke which three days ago projected him into a state of coma, the Kt, Hon, Willlam Sevens Fielding lost his long drawn out battle, waged or the past five years and dled at 10.26 o'clock, Beside him when the life of Canada's great public servant flick. ered out were his four children; his wife pre-deceased him about 10 months ago. On Friday, Mr, Fleld- ing, who had been bhed-ridden for the past decade, sustained a stroke and it was then seen that the end could not be far off. His eyesight had failed, he was bereft of speech and the family which gathered around him in his Charlotte street home felt that it would only be a matter of hours until the life of the aged statesman would pass, Little hope was held out by Dr, G, 8. McCarthy, the family physi- clan; and when the end came it did so following a gradual and vis- ible enfeeblement that portrayed death, Mr. Fielding had long passed the allotted span of life and was in his 81st year. Forty years of that life were spent in the service of Can. ada, first in the provincial arena of Nova Scotia, and from 1896 un. til his withdrawal from public ac- tivities In 1924, in the federal field. He left public life as he entered ft==poor in pocket but rich "in id- eals and rich in a record of honor- able, upright and self-sacrificing service to his country. Pensioned By Parliament The nation saw to it, however, that the days left to its distinguigh- ed son should be free from finan- cial cares and sought in some meas- ure to express tangibly its apprecia- tion of the eminent services he had rendered. Following his 1etire- ment from public life, parliament voted Mr. Fielding a pension of $10,000 per annum, one vote at least to which no voice was raised in opposition, In the five years during which he was a total invalid Mr, Fielding suffered many strokes, With ex- traordinary tenacity, however, he survived them, although each left him weaker than before, Not un- til his final seizure was there in. dication of his heart giving out, He became unconscious, and with- in the last 24 hours signs were not wanting that a complete breaking y ~ Je b LO) At the end of a day's work, relieve nervous tension before eating. up=so that you're & and on your food. y Then, after meals, Wrigley's helps me of Ate the ue i sweetens the breach: - z - Produce Prices in the Commercial Markets TORONTO PRODUCE Toronto wholesale dealers are produce 10 retail deslers st the | Fices p Eggo--Vresh, extras, in cartons, 5c; fresh extras, loose, Me; firsts, H s, 2c, Butter~No, | creamery, prints, 40 to #ic; No, 2 creamery, prints, 0 Ye, Cheese--~New, large, 2ic; twins, 21/4¢; trip. lets, 22; stiltons, Zc.

UNRAVELLED KNOTTY PROB. LEMS During his long term in office between 1896 and 1911, Mr, Fleld- ing was called upon to unravel many knotty problems in connec tion with Canadian trade. Follow- ing the inception of the British pre- fertntial tariff, Mr, Fielding pre- sented to parliament measures im- posing a surtax on the products of Germany in consequence of Ger- man action adverse to Canada, and later legislation dealing with the "dumping' system, He was one of the Canadian representatives at the colonial conference in London in 1902, and also was one of his maj- esty"s plenipotentiaries for the ne- gotiation of the Franco-Canadian commercial treaty at Paris in 1907, Mr. Fielding negotiated commuy- cial arrangements with Germany, Italy, Belgium and Japan between 1909 and 1011, On his resumption of the port. follo of finance when the present Liberal administration assumed of- fice following the general electiun of 1921, Mr. Fielding negotiated two new trade treaties with France and Italy, both in 1922, In that year he was also one of this coun- try's representatives to the assem- bly of the league of nations ut Geneva, Like many men who have risen to high rank in the world of poli. tics, the beginnings of William Stevens Flelding's career were red- olent with the smell of printer's ink. Entering the employ of the Halifax Morning Chronicle, a paper which up to that time had provid. ed Nova Scotia with two premiers its founder, Joseph Howe, and a subsoquent editor, Willlam Ann- and, Mr, Fielding passed the forme ative years of his life in an atmos- phere of politics, rarefied by a high tradition of fine achievement, The stately province building in which the brilliant former editor, Joseph Howe, had won his fight for re. sponsible. government was just across the way from the dingy building housing the Chronicle, It is to be surmised that the youthful Fielding frequently looked up from his case to contemplate the his: torie pile and possibly dream of the time when he should follow in the footsteps of his predecessors. But the fact is that by studied industry he rapidly won promotion and at an early age even in those days of personal journalism was playing a leading part in shaping the policies of the government of the province. SUGAR AND SHOES CENTRE OF GONTEST| Independents Prepare For Big Fight in Senate Over Tariff Washington, June 24. Sugar and shoes, two items which affect every man, women and child in the country, are to be made the centre of the Senate tariff contest, it was indicated Saturday as the various forces were oranizing for what may be the big- gest Senate fight since the League of Nations dispute. The independent Republican and Democratic group has asked the People's Legislative Service to furnish all available facts about these two schedules and- other rates in - which they are to be primarily interested. One group held a meeting late Fri. day, deciding to co-ordinate their ef. forts as much as nating particular members of their group to look into these particular schedules, Hearings on both schedules are to open today in the Senate finance sub- committees, where witnesses will be heard for and against the rates pro- Oked on the pending House tariff ill, The basic sugar rate provided by the House is 3 cents a pound with a 20 per cent discount allowed to Cu- ban sugar. This rate compared with 2.20 cents in the existing law, The increase would necessarily increase the price of sugar. The basic shoe duty is 20 per cent, with 35 per cent against certain high grade shoes from Czecho-Slovakia, used mostly by women, This increase would also increase shoe prices ma+ terially, as shoes now are on the free list The People's Legislative Service will figure out what these two items and others would cost the consumers in millions of dollars and gather such -- ---- } GETS NEW POST Hubert B.

The Independents, however, will fight any increase. Organization activity of the group is significant because the Independ- ents have a balance of power in the Senate which was effectively used on the debenture plan of farm relief, If Democrates go along with them, they can control a majority of the Senate, There were 13 Republicans in the de- benture group, but they count on 14 in the tariff argument The Republican tariff organization is being perfected during the com- mittee hearings. Smoot of Utah, Reed of Pennsylvania, Bingham of Connecticut and Edge of New Jersey are holding daily conferences and are in complete control of the committee The Independent group has no re- presentation on the committee and that is one reason why they have de- cided to start gathering material for their fight in order that they may be as well equipped as the regulars, De- mocrats will not work out their or- ganization plans until the Bill is drawn by the committee, Those attending the Independent meeting held in the office of Lafol- lette of Wisconsin, included Lafol- lette, Norris and Howell of Nebraska, Brookhart of Towa, Wheeler of Mon- tana, Dill of Washington and Nye and Frazier of North Dakota, From Cleveland comes word that a fellow who held a lucky tic ket in a Quebec sweepstakes and won $64,000 has engaged a man- ager, It's gafe bet he isn't married. --Hamlilton Spectator, HEAT YOUR HOME THE DIXON WAY Now is the Time to Fill Your Coal Bin With The Best Fuel Obtainable Jeddo Coal Solvay Coke Cannel and Pocahontas And All Other Good Fuel CALL TO-DAY AND EXPERIENCE THE SERVICE AND SATISFACTION THIS COMPANY GIVES TO EVERY CUSTOMER ALSO Gravel, Sand, Stone, Lime and Building Material So when thinking of concrete work or call and let us serve you, The Best.
