Ex-Mtorney-General Howden's Nlegalions Against Premier Norris Fall in Light of New Evidence---Chief Justice Howell Examined. Isea-- Winnipeg, July 7.-- William | Chambers, the man alleged by ex-| Attorney-General J. H. llowden to have been the representative of the! Liberal party in the negotiations looking to tlie dropping of certain election protests in Manitoba, was | the prinelpal witness on. the stand | ut the session of the Fullerton Com-= | mission to-day. The Conservative | negotiator in' the affair, G. M. New- ton, also began his evidence, which will be continued to-morrow. Chambers declared at the outset that in the negotiations he had with Mr. Howden and Newton he had act- ed wholly without instructions from anyone in the Liberal party. Mr. Howden's evidence tended to show the plan as having originated with Chambers, but Chambers declared Newton had been the first to broach it, having come to him and asked him if anything could be done In thé way of having the protest dropped. Chambers treated the matier, ge a joke at first, and_said it would take $50,000 to reimburse the Liberals for their expenditures in connection with the protests. Newton, he said, had taken it literally and had « thought the amount too much, but eainé back later and offéred $25,000 Witness said he had not promised anything, but that he would try. to have the protests called off. He in- sisted that the $50,000 be in sight hefore he made an attempt at mak ing an arrangement. This sum was raised aad in sight, but before any money was paid over to him events lta transpired which made it seem less possible than ever to maintain the Government's majority, and! Howden had told Chanibers he wolild ently advance $25,000, Cham-| bers eventually agreed to try and carry out the matter for this sum. | Tried to Sound Mr. Norris, His first step, he sald, was to cau- tiously sound Mr: Norris and try to find out, In a roundabout way, if he| was. interested in having the pro-| tests settled. He found that Mr, Norris had given the matter slight attention, and was quite indifferent and uninterested regarding it. Cham- bers declared he was careful to give] the Liberal leader no hint as to any arrangement which he, Chambers,| ' * THE} SPORT REVIEW | No wonder the Canadians can fight, avers an American after see- ing a lacrosse game.

Being unsuecessful with Mr. Nor- ris, Chambers said he tried to re- turn it; but Mr. Howden refused to take it back. . Chambers also had an interview. with Thomas Kelly, who had led hom to believe by inference that the money was his (Kelly's). He tried to get Newton to take it, and he also refused. Finally he took the money to Newton's house at Sel- kirk and left it on the table. Denied Paying Out Money. Mr. Fulerton questioned witness closely as to deposits and withdraw- als in his bank aceount of sums to- talling over $7,000, which Chambers explained by stating that the money was given him to dg as he Wished with, and he had used a little now and then, replacing it later. , Fuller- ton conceded this was all right, but sald what he wanted to know was whether Chambers had paid any of this money, which passed through his bank, to amyone' in connection with the election protests, This Chambers emphatically denied. On G. M. Newton taking the stand ha told of the negotiations between himself and Chambers, to whom he had mentioned that some hotelkeep- ers were trying to settle the petitions respecting the election in Kildonan and St. Andrew's. Chambers had said: '"Understrappers could not ar- range things of this kind." Newton had pursued the matter to find out Chambers' idea on the point, and the latter had said that for $50,000 he thought he could settle all the protests. Then followed the inter- views with Mr. Howden until the deal had been arranged, the money raised and. deposited, and $25,000 handed over by Newton to Chambers, under Howden's instructions, pend upon the team which has been going along so well in the recent games.

But what is for us a question ot life and death must take precedence ov- er all other considerations.

Francis BE. Clark, president and founder of the society. He was unable to be present, how- ever, because of illness. Delegates were urged to enroll a million new. church members, a mil- lion signers to a peace petition, dnd a million pledgés to make the coun- try a saloonless nation of 1920. Rev. Francis E.

Sofia, July 9.--The transport of] Turkish troops from the Asiatic coast is greatly restricted, owing to the presence of British submarines in the Sea of Marmora. The submarines, proceeded up the Bosphorus, encoun- tered several units of the Turkish fleet and turned back, pursued by the Turkish vessels, Much relief is felt in Constan- tinople because the British submar- ines abstain from torpedoing passen- ger steamers. Last week a steam- er going from Constantinople to Scu- tari met a submarine sailing on the surface with -the British flag dis- played. Great panic prevailed on board, but the steamer was allowed to proceed unmolested. Frequent fires in Constantinople #re a cause of extreme disquietutds among the people, already depressed and exasperated by many |privations: Upward of 2,600 houses were de- stroyed in last week's great fire, and almost every night new fires break out, causing fresh destruction. The police have profited from these ca- lamities to arrest large humbers of foreigners on charges of. incendiar- ism. According to information received from Phillipopolis and Adrianople, much secrecy is maintained regard- ing the death of Col. von Leipzig in the waiting room of the railway sta. tion at Usunkobru. Rumors are current that this German cffiter was assassinated by an emissary of the Old Turks, to whom the idea of Ger- man domination has always been in- tolerable. Place Gag On Schools. Brussels, July 9.--An order has been issued by Gen. von Bissing, Ger- man Governor of Belgium, providing a year's imprisonment for school teachers, directors or inspectors who 'permit, further, bring about or ef- fect anti-German actions or state- ments in their teaching or in other school exercises." Power is conferred upon German officials to supervise and Inppect schools at all times. Courtsimar- tial will have jurisdiction over viola- tions of this order.

Conditions are the same as other years in res- pect to tourists and yachting parties. If you touch at a customs port it will be as well to. make report and escape some over zealous officer. Yours respectfully, A. Strachan, Collector. The Crescent cruise of this year will be taken by about twelve boats. The work of getting them lsted is already under way. The cruise will fbe to Grenadier Island, Great South Bay, the Ducks and Quinte, lasting weeks. Write Name In Full On Letters. Ottawa, July 9.--The Postoffice Department calls attention to the fact that letters addressed to soldiers at the front should be signed by the writers in full. Where letters signed by Christian name only cannot be de- livered owing to the addresses being missing, wounded, or dead, it is im- the ~Bay of ten days or two possible for the Canadian postal ser-|- vice to return them to the senders. In view of this, the public is urged to fully sign all letters addressed to soldiers at the front, and in-additoin to this to indicate the pame and ad- dress of the sender on the upper left hand corner of the address: side of the envelope. In this way the re- turn of letters, should - necessity arise, will be absolutely insured. ---- Guilty Of Election Indianapolis, Ind.; July 9.--Seven of the 132 men who are facing charges of election frauds in the reg- istration, primary a of 1914, pleaded guilty when in criminal court here t il official word is re- 4 »|able to do when attention is concen- Britain is Still Muddling London, July 9.--S8ir William Rob; ertson Nicoll, a close friend of David Lleyd George, writing in his paper, the British Weekly, on the muni- tions question, says: "Everyone is asking why Wool- wich should be only partially employ- ed. We wait for an answer, and all that Lord Haldane has to say is 'Do not sacrifice von Donop. This matter was dealt with by a distinct com- mittee.' "We deliberately affirm that it is a matter of common knowledge that the shortage of munitions is even graver than the minister. of muni- tions himself, in his refreshingly bold speech, has ventured to tell the publie. This business cannot rest as it is, We recognize to the full that everything cannot be told at present, but the nation Will not sub- mit, after Lord Haldane's speech, to the darkness which shrouds tae sit- uation. They do not wish to go back to what is past and done with; at the same time they will see to it that men unworthy of their confiden- ce shall no longer femain in their' employment or be accorded the pow- ers which they have misused or abu- sed. - All expérience shows that if a democracy is to act promptly and wisely it must know the truth, "The democracy must know or they will agt rashly and impulsively, A natiop naturally preférs its ease, and would, in ordinary ecircumstan- ces, choose the path of smoothness; but things have gone too far for ease. When the British people were told of the Indian mutiny, they made up to. break. the rebellion. In, the American civil war the nation was told everything, and they sanc- tionéd at last the tremendous resolve to expend two lives for"one which enabled Grant and Sherman to at- tain victory.

Loundun, July 9.--The Daily Mail, in an editorial article, says: "Are we winning? Are we los- ing? Are we muddling through,' or merely muddling? Because we muddled through against a half-arm- ed agricultural people like the Boers, shall we muddle through against a highly organized people like the Ger- mans and their allies?

"The reasod why the Daily Mail iterates these damning facts is its desire to bring hume to the people this--that if we are to win the war --and we can win the war--we had better get -to work, remove the in- competents, and urgently push for- ward 'our supplies. "Elsewhére in this paper will be found a thrilling dispatch from that brilliant writer Sir lan Hamilton, telling us a little, but leaving out a great deal, of a small portion of the Dardanelles war. All the. world knows how that expedition has been bungled. All the world knows that, despite unprecedented bravery on the part of the British, French, Austra- lians, and Indians, we have hardly advanced at all through the hills and ravines that lead up to the bottle- neck of Gallipoli. That expedition was started by politicians, who did not even know that the Germans had submarines capable of getting round through the Mediterranean to the Dardanelles, which submarines hav- ing got there, cut off our army from its sea base, and blew up two Brit- ish battleships in two days. "Sir lan Hamilton does not seem fo have expected that the Turks would be provided with 'those inven- tions of the devil," machine guns. Our politicians do not know that by talking so much in London about the expedition before it started and stir- ring up so much excitement in Alex- andra and Cairo they were. also warning the Turk, and the German to turn a naturally difficult country in- to a veritable series of fortresses. "Using the power of thé cenror- ship, 'they have for months hidden the whole story of this vast Dardan- elles expedition from the public. They cannot hide it from the Ger- mans, for German newspapers had ample description of it, They can- not hide it from neutral countries, because German newspapers are sed- ulously circulated in those countries. The people from whom the expedi- tion has been hidden are the people at home, and incidentally the fath- ers and mothers "and wives and sweethearts of those whose lives have been risked by the politicians. "Yet these same politicians are | eir places. There has been a tle reshuffling. and a few men hive been called irto the Cabinet to r a burden that will be too heavy for Premier Asquith when the public rea- lizes what has happened. "We can win this war, but unless the British public takes the matter into its own hands and insists upon the dismissal of the inefficient bung- lers among the politicians and at the War Office we shall lose the support of our Allies and the enthusiasm of the Dominions, we shall waste the magnificent efforts of our soldiers and sailors, and eventually we shall lose the war."

New York, July 9.--A London cable to The Tribune says: "According to a famous British! scientist, an Englishman has just! made a discovery which will revolu-' tlonize submarine warfare. He states that the inventor is one of the mem- bers of the committee appointed by the Royal Society to deliberate on 'scientific problems arising from the war.

Harriman, of Glastonbury, who Is making 20 special aeroplane motors for the United States Government, left yes terday for New York to see Mr. Thomas. Mr. Spencer, the Federal inspectog, who is supervising the work at the Harriman factory, said that he thought Britain was planning the mobilization of an Immense fleet of aeroplanes with whieh to scout for submarines off the English coast The Harriman motor won in a competition test under the auspices of army experts, and the motors Harriman is now building for the Government will be used in hydro- aeroplanes.
