Toronto, March 275-To thefde- mands of the huge hydro-radial rail- way deputation yesterday for a bon- us of $3,600 a mile Premier Hearst made a conventional reply. No gov: 3 * ernment could shut its eyes to the benefit of the hydro-electric .scheme as it had been developed in Ontario." The work had been fostered and as- sisted by Sir James Whitngy. The late premier had taken the position that no further subsidies should be granted by the province to private sorporations. "I stand on the same. platform as Sir James Whitney," de- "lared Mr. Hearst. "that o further financial aid to railways shall be | given, in older parts of the province | at all events.' He pointed oute that when th enterprise was first a had been. 'the government financial # provincial uarantes should be given to the bonds of the municipalities. The question was! one of great importance. It not only involved the granting of 'the! | subsidy but the financing of the sub- sidy as well and then there were! advantages, hie might have to be considered, those parts of the province more - | mote from radial lines. He and his solleagues were deeply interested in the scheme and in the great work | the hydro-electric power commission | was sshmplishing. We will read your memorial, ONTARIO, "at + CREW ALL DEAD ...

Honolulu, Match 27.-- Missing marine F-4 will be raised to surface to-day. Reports early morning were that the vessel, was logated by grappling irons late yesterday, 300 feet beneath the waves, would probably be brought up be- fore noon. That the submarine is the steel tomb of her two officers and nineteen wen is accepted. Naval construction experts and divers say it is futile to hold hopes for their lives. Quun- tities of oil, which came to the sur- face when wrecking vessels and at- tempted 'to tow the vessel to more shallow waters, make it certain in the minds of all here that no lifevye- mains aboard the sunken craft. The depth to which the vessel sunk is now aceepted as the direet cause of the first American submarine dis- aster.
