Hall Caine Has 75th Birthday Noted Novelist, Knighted for Writing Propaganda During War London--Sir Hall Caine, novelist and dramatist, Greeba Castle, Isle of Man. celebrated his 75th birthday on Tuesday last. His full name is Thomas Henry Hall Caine, and he was knighted in 1918, but to the general public he is better known as Hall Caine. Born at Runcorn, Cheshire, England, on May 14, 1853, Hall Caine spent hia boyhood days in the Isle of Man, where he went to live with relatives when young. His early years were lived in conditions of poverty. When a young man he went to Liverpool where he obtained a position on the Liverpool Mercury. Newspaper writing, however, did not appeal to him-he wanted to write novels, and prompted by this ambition, he asked for, and accepted, a reduction of salary in order that he might devote considerable time to novel-writing. Subsequently Hall Caine came to London, where he lived with Dante Gabriel Rosetti, the artist, as a sort of secretary-companion. This position he continued to occupy until Rossetti's death, April 9, 1882. For nearly 50 years Hall Caine has produced plays and novels. In 1895 Hall Caine went to Canada as representative of the Authors' Society and the Colonial Office in connection with the successful negotiation of terms with the Dominion Government with regard to Canadian copyright. Knighthood was conferred on Hall Caine in recognition of his services as a writer of propaganda during the rage NeZealander has It tion that has ever represented the capital city of Alberta. match with the Chicago defense of the Ut.der-ional Trophy, 'he Black ved every regular and Brownies, nd Gold every sub; :ute 1 be t I The Misses Gladys Fry.

The report, which was written at the request of Chancery Court, made clear that all the women had been poisoned by radium, as they claimed. This was shown by the reduction of white corpuscles count of their blood, a condition which lowers the normal body resistance to infection and causes softening of the bones.

General Hughes makes eight other recommendations, but these are along the lines for which he has been pressing for many years and are planks in his platform of prison reform in Canada. The administrative recommendation is a new one and is believed by many in the capital to be an effort to get the penitentiary staffs out of politics. General Hughes will not discuss the matter beyond the recommendations in his report, but there has been talk in Ottawa for some considerable time that politics have been pitch-forked into the penitentiary administration and that appointments are being mad© on political grounds rather than on efficiency and fitness for the service.
