YEAR 78 -NO, 64 STON, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1911. I Arrested Aboard Ship For Murder. FEAT OF WIRELESS DUPLI- THE CRIPPEN CASE IS CATED, Alleged Murderer a Russian--Fugi- tive Arrives in New York in: Irons--The Story of the Sensa- tional Case, ) New York, March 17.--Wireless mes- sages flashed over the Atlantic Sor three days by the operator on the American liner St. Louis, which dock- od yesterday led to the arrest on the Clerman liner Zeiten of a man who is accused of being the leader of a band which, last January, murdered a pawpbroker, his wife, cashier and typist, in the little town of Mistowitz, Russia. The dramatic eapture of the acoused * slayer after die had escaped the drag- net ob the Russjan detectives has only one parallel in the police . annals of the world. It is the case of Dr. Haw. ley Harvey Crippen, the dentist who was recently hanged in London for the mwirder of his wife, Belle Filmore. The prisoner in Lhe present case is a man named Zogolowski, who, the Russian police say, 9) a desperate eriminal who has served many terms in jail, although he is only twenty ewo years oll: Another nun nated Bern. ards, who is suspected of complicity in the murders, is believed to be with him on the liner. : Zogolowski was living in a lodging house in Mislowtz at the time of the arime. He was suspected of the mur: ders, and when he returned home for important papers which he had con. csaled in his room, 'the daughter of the boarding house keeper notified the police, A policeman was sent to the use, and when he tried to arrest the suspect Zogolowski shot him and escaped. Otto Bursdlorf, sergeant of police of Berlin, was potified. The sergeant learned that Zogolowski was on «the Zeiten. Ho tried to get into communi eation with the liner, and, failing, hurried across the channel to Eng land, where he boarded the St. louis at Southampton. He established cons, anauy vessels which y but not until last Wednesday were hin efforts rewarded, A wireless messnge to the Cunard liner Virginia brought the response that, earlier that day, she had been in wireloas conversation with the captain of the Zeiten. A message was relayed to the Zeiten requesting the arrest of Zogolowski. Back came the response that Zologowski had been arrested and was in irons, When the St, Louis docked vesterdas Buedorf by a special permit boarded the revenue cuter on and went down the bay to meet the incoming liner nt quarantine, where he board: ed the liner and took the prisoner in charge, WOMAN DROPS DEAD. Dandits Get $5,000 by Blowing Saf: and Escape. Geneva, N.Y., March 17.-<Three ban dits blew open the safe of the Rush ville Banking company, at Rushville, ahd ecaped ith 8,000, When told e robbery Mrs. W. 1, Jones, wife of the cashier, dropped dead. She had been afflicted with an acute nervous disorder. The bandits were seen by man named Harron, a baker, who heard three explosions and looked out of his window. He saw three men leaving the bank with a bag of plander, but made no attempt to have them captured. They drove away in arig. The bank is a private one and was organized in 1904, John Jones, the president, is in Oklahoma, and the eas has been in charge. The robbers used nitroglycerin and stole blankets from barns nearby to place over the safe to muflle the sound of the explosions. a KILLED HORSE WITH IRON BAR.

Pr. Gaylord Makes Report on Can- cer. Albany, N.Y., March 17Dr. rey R. Gaylond, director of the New York state laboratory at Bufialo, in a re- t to State Commissioner of Health Porter, says that a study of the dis- tribution and nature of the so-called thyroid tumor of fish has reached a degree of advancement which makes jt clear that this disease is "little short of a menace to fish calture and that it bears without question aun im- portant relation to the public health." "The New York state laboratory," says the report, "had now reached a point where the work of the last thir- teen years justifies the erection of an hospital to. accommodate 25 or atients for the study of cancer iu human beings and the development of methods of treatment." Dr. Gaylord reports that there were 7.505 deaths in this state from can- cer in 1910, an increase. of 47) over 1909, while tuberculosis caused 14,047 deaths, an inerease of only 9. "These figures," he says, "show that in spite of the increasing population, tuber- culosis is practically stationary, while cancer has notably increased.' Golden Wedding Day, Perth, Ont., March 17.--Mr, and Mrs. William €. Tayler, Carleton "lace, celebrated their golden wedding on March 13th. They were married in the Presbyterian church at Me: Donald's Corners on March 12th, 1861, by Rev. J. B. Duncan, Perth. The bride was a daughter of the late .J. Donald, one of the Scotch pioneers of 1820. ORANGEMENREQUEST AMENDMENT OF THE CRIMINAL CODE THE To Prevent Ecclesiastics Interfering in Cases of Mixed Marriages-- ~James Berney to Move Home Rule Resolution in Toronto. Special to the Whig, Smith's Falls, March 17.--James Ber- ney, - Kingston, grandmaster of the grand Orange lodge of Ontario East, will attend the Orange demonstration at Toronto on July 12th. He has ac cepted an invitation to move the home rule resolution that will be presented that day. The Orangemen have adopted resolu- tions advocating amending the.crim- inal code so that ecclesiastics may be marriages, and have adopted a recom: mendation of their slative commit ad infvasating the lition of lingual schools. They also continue supporting the work of French evangelization in Quebec province. The bi-lingual school resolution that was passed by the Orangemen of East ern Untario and referred to the grand Orange lodge of Eastern Ontatio here, reads as follows : "The legislative committee having been unable to prepare a Protestant platform for this grand lodge and there being a possibility that before stich' a platform can be adopted by the two provincial grand lodges of the rovinee, a provincial election may be Id; therefore, this grand lodge places itself upon record on the following question, which, we hope, will become planks in the platform, namely : "(1.) The entire abolition of all bi lingual schools of this province. "{2.) The elimination of all sectar- ian teaching, either before, during . or after any teaching session in the pub- lic schools, except as laid down in the ourriculum prepared by the department of education. "This grand lodge requests the pro: vineial grand lodge of Ontario East to adbpt the same so that all Orangemen in Ontario would have these matters definitely before them and that we vincial honors as pledge themselves to carry out these matters." TWO DIFFICULTIES IN WAY OF TREATY WITH GREAT BRITAIN. The Constitution of the United States Requires the Submission of Each Disputed Question. Washington, March 17.--~When con gress assembles in regular session next December it is believ the president may be able to redeem his promise to submit a treaty with Great Britain providing for gengral and unlimited arbitration of all questions arisin between Great Britain and-the Unit States. Attention having been dis rected to the subject by the remark: able speech of Sir Edward Grey in parliament, it is learned that negotia- tions for such a treaty have been proceeding informally for a long time, though neither side yet has submitted a conerete proposition.

OSWEGO MANS ACT AFTER DEATH WOMAN IN HOTEL. oF Couple Had Registered as "H. C. Willams and Wife"'--Claims He Met Friend by Accident.

HOT AND HE TALKED IN HIS USUAL RECKLESS WAY. The Time Has Come When Parlia~ ment Must Sit Later if the Bless. ings to Prorogation are to be Ex- pecter During 1911, Special to the Whig. Ottawa, March 17.--Aiter the long drawn out discussion on the Farmers' Bank situation, on Wednesday, the prolonged debate yesterday proved somewhat of a fizdde It was quite clear to all that Mr, Fielding in hus short and decisive speech, had com- pletely frustrated the opposition's move and once and for all, proved conclusively, that if any one was to blame, it was the parliament of Can ada and not the government. Dr. Edwards, (Frontenac), resumed the debate and declared that the double liability clause in the banking wet, was a fallacy, "a delusion and a snare." He thought that Mr. Fielding was not capable of handling such gigantic deals and his indiffercice to ward them had aroused indignation, as a consequence this allowed pie to be fleeced. He pointed ant that the | Soverign * bank at the time of its collapse was in a far mére solvent when it closed ita doors, than were many other banks in Can ada. The appointment of a royal commission shonld go farther than simply apply to an investigation of the Farmer's bank, its scope should be extended to making a thorough in. vestigation of the banking laws of the Dominion. Mr. Edwards declared that there were over $500,000,000 . of the people's money in Canada only draw- ing three per cent interest, yet the government went ta England on dil. ferent occasions and borrowed money at a rate of four per cent., or even higher. He decla that Sir Wilfrid Laurier was simply juggling with the resolution before the house when he took exception (J the appointment of a roval commission simply because Mr, Fielding had been deceived by Mr Travers and his confederates. E. W. Nesbitt, North Oxford, strong- Iv supported Mr. Fielding, that a royal commission was unnecessary. Richard Blain, Peel and Charles Jones Thornton, Durham, Ont. could only see blue ruin for the government if they did not grant this commission. M. Y. Mclean, South Huron, de clared that Travers was a scoundrel, but there was a bigger one than he at large and should be eaught. How- ever he could not see the advisability of oppointing a royal commissioner at a big expense to the country, There is more truth than figtion in the remarks of Sir Willrid Laurier, "that the time has come wheh wo shall have to sit a Httle Jater if' we want to see the blessing of prorogation somwtime during the year of 1911." The prime minister's stalement was | evidently prompted by the conserva: tive threat that the house would sit until this question was disposed of, vet. Dr, Edwards, for the opposition, courageously adjourned the date! During the debate a somewhat sen- sational statement was made by Mr Martin, (Regina) that the Ontario government had aided the escape of attie Nesbitt and this was born out by the fact that the On {tario authorities had only offered {8200 for the deliverange of bis live body in the city of Toronto. He twould sspport the appointment of a commission to investigate the bank ing laws of Canada, but could not see the wisdom of appointiug a royal commission, simply for the express purpose of investigating the Farmer's bank affair. A Division Taken. Ottawa, March 17.--The division was taken on the call for the, commission at 1.30 am. the amendment being defeated by ninety-sevem to sixty-two, a ead came after the outpouring of pmch oratory on both sides. the oppositioh claiming that a roval com mission would bring out all. the facts leading up to the granting of the certificate to Travers by Mr. Fielding while the governmint speakers argued ithat the mvestigation now preseding hefare the Toronto courts was Quite sufficient for the purposes of justice. - Died at Belleville, kills.

Special to the Whig ! Ottawa, March 17 --~Among the questions answered in the house, yes terday, was one by Gerald White, who asked: "Is the government aware that Australia and South. Africa have ofiered substantial prizes, for the best design for new postage stamps amblematic and characteristic of their country for the coronation' MH will Canada do likewise * Will opportunity be afforded th the mem bers of 'the Canadian house of com- mone Lo inspect whatever designs may be submitted to the post office de partment before the selection is fihal iy made? > The postmaster-general replied the government was not aware what the other British countries were doing. But they had authorized Lord Strath: cona, Canadian high commissioner in London, to enter into correspondence with the home authorities in the mat- ter with & view to having for Can- ada the same stamp as is to be is sued for the coronation in' the United Kingdom.

HAS EVER SEEN, for the so the Home Rule Declared to be Close at Hand--John Redmond Says Light of Victory Shines on Ireland. London, March 17.--~In honor of St. Patrick's day and the near approach of home rule for Ireland, several of the Irish leaders last night issued formal statements and greetings on the occa- sion of the national anniversary. These included John E. Redmond, chairman of the Irish parliamentary party and chairman of the United Irish League of Great Britain; William O'Brien, M.P., for Cork, and leader of the Indepen- dent nationalists, and Lord Dunraven, president of the Irish Reform Associa tion. H. H. Asquith, the prisde minister, and A. J. Baliour, ex-premier and leader of the opposition in the House of Commons, declined to make any comment on the probability of home rule, refusing to break the ironclad tradition against cabinet ministers giving an interview. In a speech at the St. Patrick's ban- quet in the Hotel Cecil, to-night, Mr. Redmond referred to how, amid a long kst of valuable Irish reforms achieved by hard labor during the wast twelve years, they had wet year y yoar at this festival, almost des pairing of achieving the great goal oi their aspirations.
