Heads of delegations to the imperial conference were informed by the British government that there would be no repeal of empire pre- ferences unless' there was sometime in 'the future repeal of the general tariff carrying these preferences. Where Britain has imposed cus- woms tariffs carrying a British pre- ference, she will retain the British preference. But this does not imply the Labor government is pledged to maintain the duties. If any such duties are repealed the preferences will go with them. But where there is no repeal of existing general tar- iffs, then the British preferences will be continued. .

PROPERTY SAFE Trapped by Blaze, Three Toronto F iremen Are Saved (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) _ Toronto, Oct. .13.--~A spectacu- lar downtown fire which illumin- ated the surrounding district for blocks, three firemen trapped on the roof of the burning building and the turning in of a double alarm, provided eariy risers with an unlooked for thrill here this morning. The trio, cornered on the roof by the rapidly spreading flames, were Firemen McCaul, Evans and Woolley. They had rushed up the stairs of the Toronto Waste Paper Company's section of the building to play a hose on the flames which were then sweelpng through the Magic White Company's section, but the flames spread so rapidly to the waste company's premises the men never had a chance to de- scend safely down the stairway and for a few minutes their posi- tion appeared hopeless as no lad- ders ware nearby. 'However, clever work by other firefighters saw the trio rescued when' a ladder was carried to the tip of a nearby building and ex- tended across to the marooned fireman, who hurriedly evacuated the burning.roof, The premises of the paper com- pany were completely gutted, caus- ing an estimated loss of $25,000. Damage of $10,000 was done to the Magic White Company's plant.

Observers in. Washington admit they are quite unable to say whether the sentiment of the country as a whole is changing either one way or the other, but they do express the opinion that so far as the authori- ties are concerned, a dozen years after its inception, prohibition for the first time is being considered with a degree of calm, There is also to hand the report of the bureau of prohibit of the de- partment of justice regarding pos- sible production of illegal liquor in the United States for th yar nding June 30, 1929. This report is the first of its kind ever issued by a government agency. It makes no bones about estimating that illegal alcohol - produced in and smuggled into the United States in 1929 was 73831,172 gallons. The report says this amount is less than that for the preceding year and production of ab- solute alcohol. for beverage purposes per capita in 1929 was about 35 per cent only of that produced legally in 1914; These figures are for pro- duction only and not for consumption into which matter: further investiga- tion will be made. Meantime, there can be no ques- tion but that the administration of President Hoover is making an at- tempt to enforce the law. President Hoover's law enforce- ment commission at present in ses- sion here, may report on prohibition to: cofigress in December. * Ontario Minister's Mother Dies Toronto. -- Following several weeks' illness, the death occurred yesterday of Elizabeth Jarvis Mc- Crea, 'mother of Hon.

There was no sign of fire or smoke, but the firemen seemed to be work~ ing as if in earnest, and for a few minutes there was much specula~ tion as to what was happening: Then it dawned on the people that this was the firemen's demonstra- tion which has been listed as one of the features of Prosperity Week, and it certainly proved a drawing card. The firemen gave a splendid exhibition of rainsing ladders, laying hose-lines, carrying the hose up the ladders to the top of the buidings, and, to cap all, a demonstration of the life- saving net, into which a number of the firemen jumped from the sec- ond storey windows of the building. The large crowd of people applaud- ed generously as the firemen leaped to safety, and were caught by thelr colleagues in the net below. After the demonstration, the fire. men, with their trucks, made a tour of parts of the city, arousing much excitement which quickly passed away when it was realizéd that there was no fire, but that the de- partment was demonstrating that its motto is 'Ready, Aye Ready."

Vigilance Committees Re- ported to Have Been Formed by Harmony Citi. « zens to Protect Their Property SEVENTH IN SERIES © OF SUSPICIOUS FIRES Besides five on Terwillegar Estate, One Other Has Oc- curred in Harmony and One in Cedardale District of Oshawa The Oshawa Fire Department on Saturday night made another fast run to the Terwillegar estate at Harmony. This is the fifth call that the Fire Department have had to the home of the aged Mrs. A, C. Terwillegar, within the last three weeks. The fire alarm to which the brigade responded on Saturday night was found to be in a barn at the rear of the house, The fire was discovered luckily before it haa gained much headway and was ex- tinguished with little property dam- age, All the fires at the Terwillegar home are thought to have been of an incendiary origin. One of the fires was discovered in a shed, the second destroyed the shed at the back of the house and in addition destroyed roof of the house itself and a greater part of the rear of the house. The third fire was in the barn which escaped serious damagé on both occasions. It is reporteed that a number of the residents of Harmony have formed a Citizen's Vigilance Com- mittee for the purpose of protect- ing their property. The benefit of this move by the citizens can be seen in the prompt discovery of the fire last Saturday night. The num- ber of mysterious fires in the near proximity of the city has aroused considerable anxiety on the part of property owners, and it has caused some of the city authorities to believe that a fire bug is at. work Strong evidence of arson has been present in seven fires reported, but so far the necessary evidence to secure an arrest has not been obe tained. PROSPERITY MAN HIS PAMPHLET Messages of Hope and Ap. peals For Co-operation Descend From Plane (BY "THE MAN IN THE AIR") The Prosperity Man, in his red, green and white aeroplane, appear= ed over Oshawa again today, and again bombarded the city with his messages of hope and avpeals, for co-operation in Prosperity Week. The weather conditions were even better up here in the air today than they were on Saturday, when we made our first trip' over the city. Visibility was excellent, and there was little wind. The air was smooth as silk, with no sign of bumpiness, and as we sailed over Oshawa, the brilliant sunshine lit-up the city, and gave it a wonderfully spick-and- span appearance, The absence of wind helped greatly in letting loose the pamph- lets sent down from the air. There was only a slight breeze blowing, and it was possible to judge its di« rection much better timn on Satur- day, when there were sross-currents. in the air, Thus we were able to drop one batch of pamphlets direct- ly on the corner of King and Simcoe Streets. We passed a block or two south and a trifie west before lot- ting them go, and on the signal from the pilot, a sheaf of them wus shot down through the camera tube. They scattered as they fell, and we banked arouud sharply to note where they fell. We saw them flute ter down right to the Four Corn- ers, and as they fell we seemed to see one drop right into the hands of Arthur Alleway as: he went across the corner, apparently on his way to the Rotary Meeting, for Ernie Marks was along with him. and they could be seen heading for Joe Welch's parlors, Thus the second visit of the Pros- perity Men in.the Air was a suc- cess, for it called attention once more, to the fact that this is Pros- perity Week, and that the co-gpera- tion of every citizen in making it a success is absolutely essential, AGAIN RAINS DOWN _ ec ete A i ? x
