The board of trade decided last gven- ing 10 ask the city council to re-sub- | mit the Worsawith bonus by-law to the people three weeks hence, being confident that it will carry; and being satisfied that its failure on Monday by about sixty votes to reach the ne- cessary three-fifths proportion of the total number of voters was chiefly due to lack of organized effort. Ww. Richardson, president, said that the board of trade members did not work at the polls on behalf of the measure, in the way they should have done. | Mr. Bermingham said he understood that the Ontario Municipal Board might have' the power to sanction the bonus in view of the fact that the vote had been so close the required number. He asked ¥. 1 Nickle if this was so. So Mr. Nickle replied that the eit solicitor had looked into that ter and had come to the conclusion that the Municipal Board's power didn't extend that far. The only way tof get the by-law put through without again placing it, before the people | was by seeking special legislation. It would take three months to do this | and he didn't think the Ontario gov- ernment would accede to the request of the city council and Board of Trade to Ww.

He thought the easiest way would be to put the by-law to the people again. This could be done by the city council in three weeks. Mr. Wormwith was preset at the] meeting, and when askéd what he would like done, replied that he didn't think anything more could he done, The by-law had, very unfortun- ately, been defeated by a very small margin. It would be impossible fox his company to delay further. He was to meet the Gananoque town council at two o'clock, on Thursday after-| noon, when negotiations would be en- tered into with a view to establishing the piano works there. It had becn | freely remarked, he said, that the company had no intention of leaving | Kingston, but he wished to say that it had, much to his regret. If tie | company had the money that some people credited it with having, it would re-establish here without ask- ing any aid. It required the help it! was asking, and as the by-law had been defeated, it would have to look elsewhere. Gananoque council had made a good proposition, and if the company accepted, it would take only | a short time to get things in opera- tion down there, It was pointed out to Mr. Worm- with by W. F. Nickle that in three weeks from now the by-law could be put to the people and carried. Couldn't he wait three weeks longer ? Mr. Wormwith replied that there had already been too- big a delay for the; company's good. If there was much: more 'it would lose its business con- | nection. He didn't see how it could' wait three weeks longer. He was grateful to the board for what it had done, but couldn't see that it could do anything more, Elmer Davis pointed out that the whole question hinged on whether the Wormwith company would" wait an- other three weeks. It would be neces- sary for Mr. Wormwith to say yes or no to that. Mr. Wormwith said that since the by-law had not carried on municipal lelection day, it could hardly be ex- pected to carry on a day when there was nothing else to bring the voters to the polls, Supposing he waited three weeks and the by-law was again defeated, that time would be lost, and in the meantime he would be los- ing business connection and also los ing many of his skilled employees. It was necessary to get the piano fac- tory re-established as soon as possi- ble, and without help the company, | he said, couldn't afford to re-establish in "Kingston, as it would cost so much to rebuild. In Gananoque there was a big building which it could en ter .at once and begin work. Dr. Ryan, W. T. Minnes, F. R Anglin, John McKay, Dr, Sparks, Macpherson and W. B. Dalton spoke and all were confident that the | hy-law, if put again, would be car ried. Mr. Minnes strongly advised | Mr. Wormwith to wait. Elmer Davis | {did the same, pointing out that a | delay of two or three weeks would | ni than the delay of sol he far t'. Bermingham also expressed his confidence that the by-law could be carried if the Board of Trade organ- ized for the purpose. After some further discussion. Mr. Wormwith announced that he would go to Gananoque and secure a thirty {day option on the factory available there. In the meantime he would secure a building in Kingston to go ahead with the company's work tem- porarily. If the by-law as re-submit- ted was carried the company would remain here. If the by-law was again defeated the company would move to Gananoque. He said that the bonus of @iv,uuu, surrounded by such strin- gent conditions, was not so much ai- ter all. If there came a business de- pression for a couple of years and the company, through no fault of its own, failed to live up to the agree: ment as to the amount of wages to be paid 'in a year, it would have to pay back part of the bonus. The peo- ple of Kingston, he said, knew the worth of the company, This. resolution, moved by Mr. Ber- {mingham, and seconded by Dr. Ryan, {was unanimously adopted : 'That worse STATE OF OHIO, CITY OF TOLEDO, LUCAS COUNTY.

It will take most active meas- ures to see that the bonus is passed; will "issue necessary literature and canvass the qualified voters.

The soft. weather ior tho past two or three days put all the hockey teams out of business. Queen's have not had a workout this week, but had one at noon to-day. Nearly all the men were out and showed good form all through. They should easily beat the Pittsburgh boys on Friday night. The team wilk not be picked uniil tornight. No-Praetice This Week. Tho soldiers will not have a prac- tico at the rink until Monday. They will then get down to work in earnest. Their games are creeping closer and closer, and they must be getling in shape. Will Play On Friday. Queen's seniors will play their first game on Friday night when they meet the seven from the Carnegie Technical School. This team is con- sidered one of the best in Pittsburg and is counted on to give Queen's a hard gagle. The college boys have been working faithfully and wll be in good shape when they meet the Americans, Meeting Of The K.A.H.A. A meeting of the Kingston Amateur Hockey Association will be held at eight o'clock, this evening, in the Hall hotel, Brock strect, when all teams entering must have their representa- tives present. At ° this meeting, the applications of Portsmouth and the Young Irishmen will bo considered and the schedule will be drawn up. A fee of $2 must be paid by every team be- fore it is enrolled. Interesting Games. Two games were played at the cur- ling rink on Wednesday evening. The team skipped by Thomas Asselstine won from the one skipped by Prof. Gill,. by one shot, the final tally be- ing 9 shots to 8. The game was close all through, 'but better playing and steadier heads finally won out. R. J. Hooper's team defeated Thomas Sla- ter and his team by one point, the { final score being 11 to 10. Both games were most interesting to all who were present. Hockey Prospects At R.M.C. The hockey team at the Royal Mili- tary College promises to be the best in years. All of last year's defence are back, McLennan, goal; Holt, point, and Parr, cover; the forward line will be new. Murray Greene of the 1907 RM.C. team, will be out, and Ei- liott Greene of last year's seconds will also be there. Smith of last year's' St. Alban's team, Brockville, is considered good, and Stuart Len- noxville, is another with a good re- putation. Baker, Montreal, has play- ed-for good teams, "'Jim" Stewart piayed for the Kingston St. Georges. There will likely be some surprises be- fore the season is very old. r City Hockey League Meeting. A mepting of tha City Hockey League will be held, to-night, in the Frontenae Business College. The sche dule for the: senior -seriéd, playing for the J. J.

Clubs represented must sock their application to the scerctary for this meeting. - Adopts Intercollegiate Rule, James T. Sutherland, the father of hockey in Kingston, received a letter from J. Ross Robertson, on Wednes- day, that contained the news, that a suggestion of Mr. Sutherland's had been adopted by the O.H.A. The let- ter said in part: "T am pleased to inform you that on my recommenda- tion it 'was decided that the home team be required to draw a distin- guishing line on the ice between the goal posts, and that a small white flag be supplied to the goal judges. This change was recommended to Mr. Robertson, by the Kingston man, and wiil be a great aid to both players and spectators. The line referred to is drawn from the centre of one post along the ice to the centre of the other. This will make it very easy for the goal judge, and for the players to see whether the rubber goes in to the nets or only part way in. This line has been used by the Intercollegiate Hockey Union for the six years. Continuing the latter said : - "The committee did not favor the change in time--that is dividing junior games from fifteen minute quarters with a rest of five minutes, after the first and third quarters, and the ten minutes 4 at half-time. The feeling was that it would prolong the game perhaps to an unreasonable hour, because you know it is generally hali-past eight before a game starts pow ahd generally hali- past ten or eleven o'dlock before it is finished, Nothing was done with that suggestion therefore." ; N COMES FROM PROF. D. H. MARSHALL. \ A Place Where Ladies Could Vote and Where the Offigials Would Be of Their Own Sex--A Word For License Reduction. "Elmhurst," Kin (To the Editor): N citement of" the municipal elections, ete., is over, might 1 make a sugges- tion through your colwmns to the city fathers and public in general. In these days of sufiragette movement would it not be a proper and welcome step to have a voting place for ladies, such as the Y.W.C.A, building, where only ladies Would be admitted ? This, of course, would' necessitate the officials at the ballot box to be ladies. On Monday last I met a lady who had a vote and was really wishing to vole in favor of granting a bonus to the piano factory company, but she told me that she bad not the nexve to go before the multitude of hard male faces which one always finds around the voting booths. In this I quite sym- pathized with her, and if there is any' truth in the unkind and unwise stale ment recently made by Dean Farthing, now bishop of Montreal, before he left the city, where for the short time he resided in it, he was so generoushy treated, the case becomes still strong ér. I reluctantly call the dean's words unwise, for the older residents of Kingston cannot hut remember is sor- row what was the spiritual state a quarter of a century ago, of the chief officials of the church the dean - has just left, and whose example may now be bearing fruit. The energetic dean, no doubt, had in view tho sad drunk- onness amongst the richer portion of our communily, and not to the poor, friendless * persons with comfortless homes, who! are occasionally brought before the police magistrate. In the treatment' 6f° drunkenness we are far behind our "fellow-Britichers in Ays- tralia, where official homes for ine briates. arc provided, to which the police magistrate sends unfortunate drunkards, surely a much more hu- mane and eficetive {reatment than punishment by fine or imprisonment. Let us fervently pray that the bishop of Montreal, in his new preginations will see less drunkenness than he saw in quiet Kingston. The misplaced. re- marks remind me of the foolish and false statement made by the late Grant. Allen, when he returned : to England after 'being most hospitably treated in his native city. He stated that, in onc of the numerous river ex- cursions from Kingston to the Thou- sand Islandg, there wasn't a sober man (except himself, 1 presume) aboard ! It happened that Prof. Ross and my- self were on that boal, and ncither of us ¢aw an intoxicated person on it! Surely amongst persons : who ought to be most careful of what they write and say in public are to be in- cluded the preachers in our churches and the writers of story hooks.--D. H. MARSHALL. Eting ton, Jan. 6.-- ow that the ex- Benefit Of License Reduction. Kingston, Jan. 6.--(To the Editor): In the agitation for the reduction of the number of licenses we are fre- quently met by the statement that the reduction of the number will not lessen' the amount of drunkenness. This statement, however, is not sus- tained by fact. Statistics show that each saloon, to a certain extent, cre- ates its own constituency and adds to the amount of drunkenness in the community. Prior to 1890 the city of Liverpool, like the city of Kingston, was notorious for the number of drunken men seen in its streets. To such an extent did drunkenness, and its attendant prevail, that the the sins authorities. were aroused to ne- GEORGE MILLS & CO. Not How Cheap--But How Geod The city is full of cheap Furs ani they are as trashy as they are cheap. A Fur pur chase comes once in a life time to most folks, and for that reason the important a thing is "not how cheap, but how good." Furs bearing our trade mark are good credentials among well dressed people. They stand [or excellence in quality, style and fit, and make Kingston's Big Fur Store famous all over nada. > Yeu'll find our regular sell- ing prices lower than those ask- ed in smaller stores at their big sales, because we manufacture the furs on the premises, and our price to you is the whole- sale price.

In the eleven years above referred to, the number of com- thittals for drunkenness fell off from 14,680 to 4,327. These figures are tak- en from the license records of Liver- pool and speak for themselves. They show in the clearest manner, (possible, that as I stated at the outsét, each saloon, to a large extent, creates its own constituency, and increases the amount of drunkenness. Surely no one can argue in the face of such figures as these that license reduction does not make for temperance and sobriety. Dean Farthing, in one of his last ser- mons in this city, as reported in the press, referred to Kingston as the most arunken city in Ontario, and there is too much reason to fear that it is deserving of the stigma. Surely our aldermen ought to be willing to give a fair trial to a measure which has been found so effectual elsewhere in promoting sobriety and so help to lessen the evil complained of which is making our fair city so notorious. One license to a thousand of the po- pulation is surely sufficient to meet all the legitimate demands of the com- munity and I am confident would help materially toward the desired end.-- Yours, for License Reduction, W.
