The murderous deed had been committed with an axe. BRAM ARRESTED. Charles Brown, the man at the wheel, was accused by Bram as the murderer and he was put in irons. Shortly after, however, Bram was noted in the act of removing the missing axe from beneath a deck boat. Brown was then released and Bram placed in irons. The vessel, which was bound for South America with a cargo of lumber, was turned about for Halifax. The three bodies were placed in the boat and in that manner towed to the new port of destination. At Bram's first trial in Boston, in the same year, he was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. At a second trial, however, he was sentenced to life imprisonment at Atlanta. Mary Roberts Rinehart, who wrote' a novel, weaving into it the story of i the murder, then became interested in Bram and her efforts were accredited with the parole being granted by President Taft.

Old Age Pensions Manitoba Free Press (Lib.): It could be plausibly urged that the care of the indigent aged is the duty ol the provinces, not of tih'a Dominion; and that the provinces are in luck in that the Dominion is willing to pay half the shot. This was- the view of British Columbia which was h'.vs first province to take up the Federal offer; and with Manitoba now asserting her adhesion to the scheme, the move ment to bring in the provinces one after the other may be said to be gaining momentum. As the number of acceding provinces grows the pressure will increase upon the provinces that remain out; and the prediction of. the extension of the plan to all parts of the DominSon within ten years might not be far wide of the
