CREOPHOS TONIC BUILDER RELIEVES BRONCHITIS Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1921 MAJORITY IS EXPECTED. Debate on Want of Confidence Motion Stirs Commons. OTTAWA, March 1.--From present indications the debate on the address and amendment thereto will en- ; dure throughout the entire week and may not be finished then. Following the speeches of Messrs. Crerar and MacLean the debate has taken on a new lease of life, and new issues have been injected into it. Government members have turned their batteries temporarily against the Progressive and Independent positions and quite a number of the Western members j are still to be heard. The speech on Monday of Hon. J. A. Calder is bound to draw fire from the opposition. The Government looks for a majority of fifteen. Such a majority it will construe as indication of sufli-cient confidence to warrant it in carrying on. The debate provided an interesting exchange between the Premier and Levi Thomson of Qu'Appelle, United Farmers Whip. "What constitutionally/' asked Mr. Meighen, "must happen if the amendment carries? "I have nothing to do with what happens," replied Mr. Thomson. "My ; duty is to vote on the question fore the House in the way in which I believe I should vote." Later Mr. \ Thomson said: "The consequences of this may be that my right, honorable friend may resign." "What happens then?" asked Premier. I "The consequences may be that may have a general election which would be a God-send to the country," replied the Agrarian whip • Mr. Meighen--"There must be a government." . Mr. Thompson--"True." Mr. Meighen--"Therefore does not a vote for the amendment ing that the opposition should be in instead of this government Mr. Thomson--"No." Mr, Meighen--"There m government whether an election or Mr. Thomson--"My right honorable friend could, I presume, advise the Governor-General i Parliament." "But there must be a government," persisted the Premier "I am trying to lead the honorable gentleman, understand that, and not to vote heedless of consequences, and not to sajr that he is not voting confidence in something else, when he votes want of confidence in this government."

Terrible Wreck Occurred When N. Y. Central Express Drove Through the Day Coach on Chicago-Toronto-Montreal Train En Route for Canada--Most of the Dead Were Americans as Long Distance Passengers Were in Pullman Cars. PORTER, Ind., March 1. -- At least 45 passengers were killed and njured at Porter; In., Sunday night when the Canadian Pacific Chicago-Toronto-Montreal flyer (No. locally Kfiown as "The Canadian," running over the Michigan Central tracks, was cut in two by the New York Central Interstate Express (No. 151). The C. P. R: train was due to arrive in Toronto at 8.23 Monday morning. The New York Central train was bound from Boston to Chicago. The Canadian Pacific train consisted of nine cars, twp of which were demolished. Both were practically solid Pullman trains. The accident occurred at 6.35 and the wreckage took fire. The Canadian Pacific train railed on the New York Central track when the New York Central train bore down on it at sixty miles an hour, and the result was one of the most disastrous wrecks in history. Both engines plunged down an embankment, t Porter, Ind., is a railroad junction point fifty miles east of Chicago. It is here that the New York Central lines cross those of the i?ere Marquette. The nearest cities are Gary and Michigan City, Ind. The tracks cross in open country and are visible for a considerable distance from either direction. / All, but four of the killed and' injured' were in the Canadian Pacific train. The tracks of the two railroads intersect here at a sharp angle, being almost parallel. The Michigan Central train was believed to h^ye started across the intersection and then to have been derailed. All of the victims so far as known, except the two members of the New York Central engine crew, were occupants of the wooden day coach and were mostly residents of Illinois, Indiana and Michigan points. According to railway officials, the disaster was caused by the failure of the engineer of the Canadian Pacific train to heed a block signal at the cross-over where the Michigan-Central and New York Central tracks NORHAM Mr. A.
