In pursuance of the scheme the share capital of the Bel- fast company was purchased on be- half of the Northumberland company at a total cost of $17,380,000 by means of temporary loans. The debenture stock of the Belfast company was is- sued through the medium of an agreement between the ¢cmpany and Messrs Sperling and Co., immediately followed by a prospectus offering the stock for subsale to the public, the stock being then allotted direct ro the subpurchasers on the nomination of the financial house. f Mr. Urquhart was the original sub- purchaser of $1,000 of the stock at the sale price of $795, and he after- Yards brought an action against Sir "dward Paulet Stracey, Sir Edward Edward Edgar, and others, who car- ried on business as Sperling and Co, and against Mr. Robert Alfred Workman, Sir George Smith Clark, Mr. George Ernest Clark and Mr. Charles Edwafd Alan, of Workman, Clark and Co. In his statement of chim Mr. Urqu- hart alleged that the fie false- algamation Clark and Co, ly represented that the benture stogk. was, in existence, and fad beem purchased by Sperling and.

It was also alleged that the prospectus = concealed' the fact that Sperling and Co. had agreed to purchase the entire share capital of Workman, Clark and Co., Ltd, for $17,380,000. #. Justice Brown in the North- erst Ireland Court, held that there was no case to be left to the jury against Sir George Smith Clark, Mr. Charles E Allan, Mr. George E. Clark, John Es in respect of the allegation of fraudulent mis- representation in -the prospectus or offer' of sale, but that there was a case to be left to the jury against the other defendants in respect of cer- "tajin of the misrepresentations alleg- ed. The judge also held that the of- fer for sale was issued by Sperling and Co, and that the case did not comedwithin section 84 of the Com- panies Consolidation Act (1908.) On appeal by Mr. Urquhart the Court of Appeal ordered a new trial. H. P. Macmillan, K.C., who ap- peared for Sir George Smith Clark, C. E. Allan and G. 8. Clark, the ap- pellants, mentioned that the action was one of a number of similar ac- tions. He contended that there was no evidence proper to be submitted to the jury that any of the misrep- resentations complained of were made on 'behalf of his clients, or that the prospectus or affer for sale was is- sued 'by Sperling and Co, as agents for the.company. Assuming Mr. Urq- uhart' to have been wronged the wrong comsisted in the fact «that he was induced to pay away a sum of $950 in exchange for $1,000 of deben- ture stock, and having accepted a sum in. satisfaction he was barred from proceeding further. The matter had passed out of the region of claim and entered the region of record. His clients were anxious to have the judgment of Mr. Justice Brown restored, Costs in the case did not matter a 'cent to them. They were far more concerned with the gravity of the other parts of the case. Com- ing to their position in relation to the ey Mr. Macmillan said that there, were three or four critical mgtters in the case, and an examination of them would be suffi- cient to dissociate his clients from responsibility for the issue of this | prospectus or offer for sale. He con- tended that throughout Sir Georgd Clark and a group of directors whom he headed had been opposed to the sale of 'the company. PAIRY PRODUCTS OUTLOOK (Brockville Recorder) The growing demand in the larg- er' cities 'of Canadian population for milk and cream, the inability 'of the ¢reameries to come within millions of pounds of the domestic demand for butter, the high repu- tation which Canadian cheese en- joys in the British market, where it is sgld at a premium over im- portations from other countries, all point the way to a market, and a good market, being found for the dairy products of the country. And there is more than a likeli- hgod that with even higher rates of duty imposed upon imports of milk and cream these articles of Canadian production will con- tinue to enter the United States market, since that market needs imports if its requirements are to be met.

O'KEEFE'S BEVERAGES LIMITED BETTER: CITIZENS URGED BY KIWANIS Report on Public Affairs Urges Not More But Better Voting Dés Moines, Towa, June 27.--A much wider measure of education in civics, government and kindred sub- jects is mecded in the -Canadian halls of learning, be they schools or uni- yersities, 'says the report on public affairs ih Canada presented at the International Kiwanis Convention yesterday by a committee of 'five Canadians, The members are Harold M, Diggon, Victoria, B.C.,, chairman; F. T. Baxter, Winnipeg, Man.; C. D. Henderson, Toronto, Ont.; A, George Russell, Quebec City; and H. . A. Walker, Halifax. "There exists a mistaken idea that the remedy for many of our politi- cal, economic and social ills is more general exercise of the franchise," the report said. "We have had our x out the vote' campaigns, the wis- ym of which is open to serious question. What "is needed is not a bigger vote but more intelligent vot. ing. Accordingly the committee urges that outstanding men in cach com- munity have given much study 10 municipal, provincial and dominion government affairs should be prevail- ed upon to give talks or lectures on all suitable occasions; and it should be the aim to train men in the sci- ence of political administration. The committee urged all Kiwanis clubs in Canada to arrange special programs, in which the importance and value of the British connection would be emphasizéd, for Citizenship he which is being held in Can- a®a from June 30 to July 1. In the realm of international rela- tions, the report stressed the value of the Leagye of Nations Society, embracing people of all races; creeds and parties, as an international agen- cy of goodwill, Turning to trade and Canadian in- dustry's position the report declared Canada's exports consisted largely of raw materials and her imports mainly were manufactured goods, despite the fact that the dominion possessed in abundance everything necessary to the upbuilding of a great manufact- uring country. "Means must be de- vised to correct this one-sided trade balance, otherwise we must sooner or later be "faced with industrial stagnation and arrested development," it asserted. The report adds that the Far East affords Canadian business men an unrivalled market and that Canada, unless it bestirs itself, is in danger of losing one of its greatest trade opportunities, It is pointed out that there is no means of direct fin- ancial negotiations between the dom- inion and Japan, and the need also of more Canadian trade commission- ers in the East is stressed. The report drew the attention of the convention to the immense loss being exacted on 'the dominion's in- dustry and its people by ill-health and outlined some of the forms of state insurance in effect in various parts of the world. It did not specifically recommend these for Canada, how- ever, stating the committee merely desired to urge the necessity for find- ing a remedy of some kind. The men- ace of the drug evil, which was not adequately realized by the public at large, was stressed in the report and it. was stated that much could prob- ably be donc to counteract the men- ace by a campaign of education. AMUSING INCIDENT IN TRAVELLER'S LIFE | Winnipeg, Man., June 5.--An ob- servant woman, writing of experien- ces travelling in a day-car from this city to the East, records this inter- esting bit of feminine conversation: LIVED AS VAGRANT 'ON BEING JILTED Member Of Pron Prominent Eng lish Family Gave For- tune Away London, June = 27.--An amazing story of hows a University graduate, a member of one of the finest fami- lies in England, gave away a for- tune after being jilted by his sweet- heart and lived for twenty years as a vagrant, has just been revealed. The man was Joseph W. Hall, who had just died in America, where he went nearly thirty years ago. But for a firm of Worcester solici- tors his hody would havé gone to the Philadelphia Anatomical Board. The solicitors, however, cabled that they would pay Mr. Hall's funeral expen- ses and he was saved from the last indignity, Before he died Mr, Hall sent'to a lawyer an amazing letter, part of which reads: ; "Love is like a dangerous germ. It is incurable. My romance has brought this horrible curse upon me. If you go bankrupt in love there is abso- lutely relief in store for the non- suited. A lost love will always be dead." Mr. Hall left England for America with a fortune of $35,000. Having'been jilted, he roamed the streets broken- hearted. He felt there was no alternative but to mix with vagrants, on whom he spent his money. His first com- panions_ were picked up from bread queues in the New York Bowery. Mr. Hall spent his money like wa- ter. His home at most times was a workhouse, but, whenever he had money, he either gave it to his fellow vagrants or squandered it. A lawyer in America often sent him money, but only a little at a time, as he knew it would go the same way as the rest. Alll through his life, however, Mr. Hall remained a cultured gentleman. His letters were couched in perfect English, but were mostly pathetic.
