TOBE {00D House of Commons Appoints -------- IS WHAT IS NEEDED SAID PRE- MIER BORDEN West Peterboro Member That the Women Agitating Against Cigarett.s Should Give Attention to Feminine Dress, Ottawa, March 10.--A committee of fifteen members of the House of Com- mons will make an inquiry and decide whether or not it is expedient to amend the existing laws for the pur- pose of remedying oc preventing any evils arising from the use of cigar ettes. It will be appointed as a result of the amendment made and the sug. gestion of Right Hon. R. L. Borden to the motion of Andrew Broder, of Dundas. The lattec proposed to pro- hibit the importation, manufacture and sale of "cigurettes, cigarette pn- pers or wrappers or any substitute therefor," and to make it an offence to give away any of the articles men- tioned. Mr. Broder argued that the increase of the consumption of cigor- ottes and the evils arising from their nse warranted the passage of such logiglation, and Mr. Thornton, of Dur- ham, told of the dangers from the in- halation of cigarette smoke and of the Mse of drugs in the preparation of 10 and of asafoetida and glue in the manuincture of the paper wrap- pers. Advised The Premier's View The prime minister in dealing with the question and in presenting his amendment, gommented upon the fact | that it was not a new ome. He re markod that a case might be made against' the use of tea and coffee by thie use of the opinions of some physi- cians. Yet he did not think the impor- tation of those commodities should be prohibited, He said that he had felt in regard to the use of cigarettes 'that maternal influence would be wore efigetive" than all the legislation parka t. gould pass. FNM anaternal ipuence,"" he 'the same effect now con- as we family affairs placed tion instead Bl un- Hg rd (West Peterboro) was willing to gee the cigarette banned, but came ont strongly in defence . of the pipe. He feared that, as worded, the resolution 'might prohibit pipe- smoking. "I it does," he said, "it. is 6 very serious thing. 1 do not think the people of this country are prépar- to go that far." Mr. Burnham suggested that the goud ladies bobind the effort to stop vigarotte-amoking might give some at- tention to the subject of feminine dress. "I bave no hesation," ho as- sorted, "'in saying that if they reform themselves in that regard they will bo doing as much good as by making us, give up our pipes and tobacco."

Well, if people really took the fy seriously, it would indeed cause a panic if its ministrations for evil in tbe way of the spread of ' disease were brought liome to every one.

ARMED INTERVENTION | OPENLY DEMANDE Senator Fall Emphasizes Danger Of War Unless The U.S. Government Acts Washington, March i9.--Th+ veil of secrecy regarding Mexico was' lifted in the senate of the United States yesterday by Senator Fall, re-| pubdican, of New Mexico, who urged armed. intervention for the protec-; ers in the stricken republic. ing. Senator Fall, in a lengthy nar- ration of incidents of outrages to Americans in Mexico, held the in- terest of the senate and galleries for more than three hours. . Assailing the policy of the ad- ministration 'as inadequate in the situation, and declaring that Presi- dent Wilson knew nothing about real conditions and had been mistak- en' in every act of his administra- tion toward Mexico, the New Mexico senator pleaded for intervention for table war. Emphasizing the danger of war with a great foreign power, unless something should speedily be done, Senator Fall referred to comments in the German press over the killing of the British subject, Benton, by order of General Villa's court mar- tial and declared: "When the German official press of | Says that should a German citizen bo murdered in Mexico, Germany would not acquiesce like Great Bri- tain, then I say to you, senators, there is imminent danger of a con- flict between the United States and this country, with which we could always be at peace. ~ Sensational charges were made: by .

They feel that they are sacri- Licing the dearest traditions of the reform party for the sake of peace, and at the hour of triumph are hand- ing over the main fruits of victory to the opposition only to receive in re- turn gibes and sneers. ! ' The papers to-day are commenting 'on the fact that while Bonar Law abruptly and tactlessly dismissed As- 1quith's concessions as useless, Sir {Edward Carson, supposedly ironically ispoke in a spirit of concession and |offered * further amendments which might he worked out satisfactorily.

TORY BACKS CHARGES MADE IN COMMONS BY F. B CARYVELL Misappropriativd- of pybiie ; vi © Member for York, N, 'B., Creates a Sensation When He Concurs, _ Ottawa, March = 10.--*This stern fact stands out; a: great wrong has heen done, a large amount of money has been taken wrongfully, I might really say stolen, from the public | treasury. The facts warrant a thorough and = searching investiga- tion." With these serious words | Carvel presaged an ugly against; the Borden administration in the commons last night. The facts concerning the misappropifation of public money had been revealed in a law-suit before the supreme court of New Brunswick, and 'the Carleton member backed his charge with cer- tified copies of the evidence given {before the court. He showed that the Southampton railway company, which constructed a short linet from Millville to River St. John, a total mileage of 12.7, and whose officers consisted of J. K, Pinder, M.P.P., as president, and P. A. Guthrie, M.P. P., as scaretary,' both conservative F. B charge | members of the provincial legislature, had * secuied | a provincial guarantee of four per cont. bonds (principal and interest) of $10,000 per mile, from the New . Brunswick government in 1909, when Hon. Mr, Hazen wos premier, and: had secured o dominion subsidy 'n 1912, under the Borden adminis- tration, of ¥13,200 per mile. He then produced the sworn testimony before thé New Brunswick court of the con- tractors who built the road that the total cost of construction was less than $12,000 per mile, Among the most serious of the Mr. Carvell in his a arraign- ment was the original report of F, V. | Johnson, inspecting engineer of the railway department, who reported that he had investigated the railway before the subsidy was issued, and that it had cost $22,954 per mile. "One of two things is certain," commented Mr. Carvell: "either the] character of this official is unmistak- able, or he was instructed to do some- thing. It is for the government to say." Mr. McLeod, conservative for York, NEB. said: o "By living on the spot and know- ing the men, I am in a position to know that items have been padded and items have been turned into the government that are neither true nor correet. I place myself on record as agreeing with many of the facts that were adduced by Mr. Carvell, aud I say the minister should inves- tigate it and put it right." . Aviation Captain Killed.

Eulog- ies were spoken by Hom. J. J. Foy, acting prime minister; N. W. Rowell, leader of the opposition; Hon. R. A. Payne, minister of education; Thom- as Marshall (Monck) and A. E. Don- ovan (Brockville). In a few well-chosen words Mr. Foy referred to the passing away of Sir George, recalled his long ser- vices to the province and his career as a public man. He had sat Jin the chamber nine years with Sir George and could recall pleasant recollec- tions. "The country has lost a big man, one free from pettiness and narrow- ness. All mourn his passing and give their sympathy to his sorrowing relatives. It is fitting that this house mark its respect to the mem- ory of Sir George." Mr. Rowell spoke at greater length. He thanked the attorney- general on behalf of the liberal mem- bers for his appreciative words, and reviewed the outstanding features of Sir George's life, his work as miin- ister of education, and the time spent as prime minister of the province. The affection that always existed be- tween Sir George and his old con- stituents in West Middlesex, Mr. Rowell sald, was one of the most touching incidents of his whole life.
