Graham Outlined the Provisions of a Bill He Intro- duced to Create a Special Fund--The Railway Board Will Be Given Necessary Authority to Act. From, Our Own Correspondent. Ottawa, March 12,----Level crossings legiclation oceupial the attention of thé commons, yesterday afternoon. Hon, George P. Graham moved the following resolution 3 "That it is expedient to provide | that the sum of $200,000 cach vear for | five consecutive years from the first | day of Apfil, 1909, he appropriated | and"set apart from the consolidated ! revenue fund of Canada for the pue- pose of aiding in the providing of | protection, safety and convenience of the public in respect of existing high- way crossings 'of railways at level, and that the said sums placed to the credit of a special count. to be known as 'The Railway Grades Crossing Fund," and be ap- | plied under the authority of the board | of railway commissioners for { ada." | Myr. Graham said that in view of the | genevad discussion which already | taken place on the question of yleve) | it would not he wecossar for him to advance arguments to tablish the newssity of action being taken The problam exists and what is required is a practical solu | tion. The coux of the bill which would | be based upou the resolution ic the enlargement. of the powers of the board 'of railway commissioner the contribution out of the treasury of a sum of money for accomplishment of the object in Some objections had been taken to the proposal outlined in the resolu: tion on the ground that all the ex- pense connectesh wath the protection of level erossings should be borne by the railways and the municipalitios af- fected. The hill would leave the rail- way commission free to adopt that view whenever it thinks that it i: propet. tov do so. Were we at the be ginning of our railway legislation, said tho minister, tho problem of the protection?" of * level crossings would not be difficult. The railways in the past, however, have reccived aid from the federal and provincial governments and have, in the rush of construc- tion; been allowed to have pretty much their own way in the matter of crossings. The time has come when it is necessary to undo what have done. The only practical cours: to pursue is for the house to assent to a contribution to climinate this evil Proceeding, Mr. Graham dealt with hi proposals in detail, summarizing th most impoetay. as follows: (1.) Not more than twenty per cent of the cost of any crossing will be con teibutesh from the federal fund, and in no caso will a sum in excess of five thousand dollags be given; ' (2.) The power of apportioning cost will rest with (3.) No limit is amount which a municipality may Ix called upon to contribute; (4.), A 'crossing' will be defined as a work pot including more than fow vail | be, ac- Can- has | crossangs y some now we the railway board: fixed to the PY whe as DAILY MEMORANDA, { New Spring Hats | At Campbell Bros SRIOFEOW Good Skating, Zion Rink. | Civie Finance Committee, City 1eague Hockey CRawmpionship this evening : =Fortsmouth vs. Regiopolis, i "George Mills & Co. sell finexHats Their store is up-to=late, | So when you buy your new Spring Hat See theirs--they're really great."

Next Mr. Graham outlined some pro- visions which his bill = will contain apart from those in respect io level crossings. The existing act, he said, provides that when bonds are pledged as collateral seewrity they are cgn- gidered as issued amd cannot be. re jscucd. A provision borrowed from the British act would be introduced cover- ing this matter, There would be, he said, some features of the bill of spe cial interest to the Canadian west, One was in respect to fire guards in respect to which he had heen consult od by more than the western member. They had pointed out that the ral: have power to plough fire guards outside the right-of-way and that they considered in 'many cases that they should be allowed to do this without being liable to damage. The act would give the railway board authors ity to prescribo the conditions under which the railways may invade the property of others in order to provide proper protection. Another clause of the bilkgill deal with the matier of expropriftion of | property by railways. Under the pre- sent act once a plan iv filed the pro- periy-threugh which it runs remains stationery in value, even if possession takow of it for ten years. This i® hardly fair to property ownars. The bill will give the 'railway two years after filing its plans to oblain its) titles and during this period only will the value of the property remain uns changed, This clause of the bill, Mr, Graham explained, will not affect any | present litigation as to propery , In reply to a question, by Mr the minister expressed the opin- that the railway board has the power to compel municipalities to pay of the cost of protecting a He informed Mr, Len nox that he had addressed a letter to the premiers of all the provinces, ask ing for their co-operation and suggest: ing that they might contribute thin, He had pointed out 1o the provinces that it would help the general plan if they would give the municipalities: any necégsary powers in reference to | raising money, Premier Whitney of .Ontario had sent a sympa- thetic reply.

OF Family = History ¢ Thoroughly--Mr. \' Blackstock Seems to Have a Reason For Asking Certain Questions. Hamilton, Ont., March 12.--Not a glimmer of light was.thrown on the Kinrade tragedy at the adjourned ia- guest, last night. As a matter of fact, there was not a single new statement of value so far as- the elucidation of the mystery was concerned, Mrs. Kin- rade, the dead girl's mother; Ernest Kinvade, her brother, and the voung- er sister, Gertrude, were all examined, and all denied baving the slightest idea as to who was the murderer. They also unanimously denied that the . relations hetween the various members of the family were otherwise than of the most affectionate nature, Mrs. Kinvade was very closely exam. ihed by G. T. Blackstock ag to her movements on the fatal aay. What ob- ject the learned counsel had in view in making minute inquiries as to Mrs. Kinrade's movements did not tran- spire, but the effect of the evidence he extracted was "to corroborate the statements of Mr. Kinrade, senior, and of Florence Kinrada Mrs, Kin- rade was severely tested, and nearly collapsed on leaving the box. Mrd. Hickey, to whose house Fle ence went alter the shooting, told plain, straightforward tale of happened De. W J among one Gone Over ) w- a what MeNicholl, who was the first to arrive at the house, was briefly examined, and stated that when he there the house was full' of the of burnt gunpowder. His evidence was not con- Aunded..and he will be recalled, A number of other witness were call: ed, but, as already stated, the mys- tery still remains unexplained. The inquest was adjourned until this afternoon, and will be concluded to- night, Florence Kinvade, it is under» stood, will be recalled. The members of Miss Kinrade's fam ily have all given thew testimony; .and bold firmly. to the view that the mur- der was committed on the spur of the moment. by a tramp, who. | had de manded and received money, and whe feared when he saw the girl come down the back stairs, dressed for. the street that she was on her way to call the police. They absolutely scout {he idea that Ethel Kinrade, or for that maiter any other member of the fam- ily, had an enemy, or that there were any disagreements that could give rise to the awful suspicion that the crime was the act of a relative. Mr. Blackstock seems to be asking questions in the expectation of secur- ing information to buttress , some theory on which the crown's officers have been working. How otherwise can the questions addressed to Mr Kinrade about his wife's health during her early married life be regarded ? He obtained the miormation that she was subject to rather serious fainting fits. He closely questioned Mrs. Kinrade, last night, as to whether a paternal uncle of the two girls had not been subject to fits. Res. Kinrade said that he had not, so far as she knew. Mzs. Hickey, inher evideno; spoke of Florence Kinrade having foam on hee lips when she eame running over . to tell of the murder and of her speech coming thickly. A: question asked of mos. of the members of the family was whether there over had been fiver arms in the house. The answer was a decided negative All this may merely mean--and it is mos: devoutly to be hoped it does mean--that Mr. Blackstock is elimina ing he gors along every possible clement of doubt or uncertainty. Mrs. Hickey, who lives across the road, from the Herkimer residence, and Florence fled after the tragedy. declared positively the girl's first words were, "Ithel has © been shot, shot six time Sho also was certain that Florence whap she enter ed her house was wearing her hat. The last witness examined 'was De- tective Bleakley. of the city staff, who was assigned "to the case from the start, and who gave a very lucid, in- telligent and convincing "account of his conclusions and "his reasons for reaching: them. He recited various in terviews he had with Miss Florence Kinrade, explaining the variationsiof her accounts of the affair, and ex- pressed the comvietion that the body of the dead sir! had been moved after she was shot, ax only in that wav could the presence of * the pool of blood under the small of the back, be explained. In this pool he had found a bullet and a tooth, indicating that the cirl had fallen forward, whereas when the body was found she was ly- ina on her back. He clearly intimated his opinion that Ethel was sitting in a chair when shot, preparing to go out, the presence of her rbbers and furs close at hand would indicate The Kinrade family has been lock. «4 out of ite gown home ever wince the members returned from Toronto. This was the Statement made by Thomas Hobson. My. Kinrade's solicitor: at the inquest last evening.' He said that the police haa Fomine hand aver the and complaj ed" to Crown Attorney Washington. Mr. Washington thereupon, wrote an ovder to the police directing that the' keys 'be 'handed over andl this will be 'done to- day. The police deny that they refus ed to' hand over the keva. Mr. Kinrade granted an interview to of vot fumes as to whose hous as kevs a rpporter last evening. He said' he waklted it distinctly understood: thet he bore no animus to the detectives, whiéh was one of the statements made by Mr. Blackstock, the Toronto law- yer, at the first session of the jurors. "Does it look as though I bore aniy mus. to the detectives, when I would hand them over the keys of my house to help them search the place?" Mr. Kinrade asked. 4 "When 1 was in Toronto, Detective Miller came to me, alone, and got the keys, 1 d. them over without any hesitation, showing my confidence in them. This wo have given some men the chance to put a revelver in the house and wade it appear that Florence used it." : Mr. Kinrade " complained about the sensational manner in which the press had treated the case. He said he had lived all his life in Hamilton, and was entitled to be treated fair at the hands of the papers, and he was con- sidering the advisability of entering suits for lLibél against the majority of them, Every paper. he said; had been saved, and in the near future he would read them carefully and decide what to do.
