Seath Won't Live Up With The Request Of The University Authorities Terouto, March 4.--There will be no Greek or Latin or French in the fourth grade of the public schools of the province. That was made clear yesterday by Dr. John Seath, super- intendent. of education for Ontario. The "higher education" move that has met such a sudden end was made in response to requests from the uni- versity authorities, who held that the present instruction in languages, ete., should be commenced at a lower age than at the present. Dr. Seath wrote to 'a considerable number of repre- entative teachers® throughout the province, making the proposition ana asking their opinions. Almost without exception the teachers -had declared against mak- ing the classics a part of the public school course, "The teachers were all against.it," said Dr. Seath. "They held that it would seriously crowd the fourth grade cogrse, and that ne particular benefit would result. They were con- vinced that by starting a boy on Greek, French and Latin at fourteen years of age, he would learn just as fast as starting him at thirteen." Hon.

It is now enjoying hydro- zlectric power, secured at the St. Lawrence canal at Morrisburg, and the town has taken advantage of the theap light, and illuminated the streets in a way that will do credit to a place five times its size.

McCARTHY IN TCE COMPANY CASE, Francis = King Characterized His Statement as Vindicitive -- City Solicitor Givens Upheld Right ot Board of Health in Looking After Health of People. The case. against the Kingston Ice company, for having violated the rules of the Kingston Board of Health, in cutting and storing ice 'cut within the prohibited area, has not yet been dis- posed of. All the ovidence in the ease has been taken, but it is now being fought out by counsel, D. A. Givens, city solicitor, appearing for the prosecution and Francis King for the company. - The two had a lively debate in presenting the case to the court on Wednesday morning; after which the magistrate again adjourn. ed "the case for a couple of days, Board of Health, was present, and had some very pointed remarks: to snake regarding the matter. Mr. King asked for the dismissal of the charge against the ice company, at the same time pointing ont that the Board of Health, since the last hearing or «he case, had refused to take bonds from the company. The magistrate thereupon asked Dr. McCarthy just what action the Board of Health wanted takeg. "We want. the bad ice removed from the house," said Dr. McCarthy. The maghstrate stated that the in- formation against the company did not conform with this; the informa tion was for the imposing of a, pen- alty. *A crime has been committed," re- marked Dr. McCarthy. "I'xcuse me," broke in Mr. King, "no crime has heen committed." Air. hang sad that he had made no statement as yet an the case, but would now speak on his motion for dismissal of the charge. With' all due respect to the city solicitor, he stated that he seldom had seen a weakor case presented. Referring to the yemark made by Dr. McCarthy, he held that he was 'showing a vindictive spitit. No crime had been committed by the com- pany. It had not even been proven that a regulation of the Board of Health had been broken. A fine could only be imposed for a violation. The court had jurisdiction to convict the ice company under the summons. There was no complaint about something being done contrary to the statutes, The charge had been {aid under the regulations of the local Board of Health. Both the sanitary officer and the medical health officer called as witnesses, had been unable to estab. lish a ease. The city was being given ample pro- tection, Mr. King codtonded. . Ma- loney, district health officer, had been reported as saying that the arra; ments of the court for bonds of +t company would be satisfactory. The company was willing to give bonds and protect the city, and he asked for the dismissal of the case. I. A. Givens, in his argument, stat- ed that the company, fearing that its supply of ice would not be sufficient, cut joe in the prohibited nvea. The Board of Henlth was Sithed with t wers, alt t were rd Peale ao an idea the board had not these powers. The Ontario legislature was con® stantly ext the powers of the board, and justly so. It wag up to ine board io look 'after the health of of the city, and in carrying out their duty he declated that of members should not rged. with teking a vindictive spirit, when they were just doing their duty. The company had stopped the cuiting of this ive as soon as it was learned that it was con- taminated, but what would the com- pansy do had it been shown hy the analysis that the ice was pure ? The magistrate stated tnat he was not present to hear what the inten- tion of the company might have heen after the cutting of the ice.

Ottawa, March 4---A big deputa- tion representing the shipbuilding in. dugtiy, waited upon Premier Borden and members of the cabinet at noon to-day and urged government co- operation in the development of shipbuilding in Canada.

GREAT BRITAIN STANDS BY THE UNITED STATES President Wilson At Washington Over Mexico Washington. March 4--Great Brit- ain's pronouncement through Sir Edward Grey, that tae United States was in no way responsible for the recent execution at Juarez of Wil- liam S. Benton, a British subject, and that the American government would not be asked to resort' to force as a result of the incident. was the chief factor in the Mexican situation to-day. : President Wilson, in a conference with Sir Cecil -Spring-Rice, and Sir Lionel Carden, the British minister to Mexico, is understood to have expressed his approval and apprecia- tion of the friendly sentiments ut- tered by the British forelgn sec- retary in the House of Commons. Tension which had been felt here over the killing of Benton arose largely because it was believed Great Britain might press the United States into taking drastic steps in securing reparation. The British view that the United States is not obliged to demand re- paration for Great Britain relieved this tension to some extent, although it is clear that the Benton incident has developed an intention on the toward the contending factions in Mexico. : Toronto, gal was sentenced to two [twenty lashes to-day on a beating and abusing his wile, . for.
