(Canadian Press Despateh) Ottawa, April 2.--Rural members appeared unexpectedly before the tailway Commission this morning in opposition to the adoption of day- light saving by the railway compan- ies. Sir Henry Drayton said that al- though the case was closed yester- day, the commission was weady to hear applications to hear new evl- dence. 'W. A. Boys, Simcoe South, and Dr. Clark of Red Deer were the princi- pal speakers against daylight saving. They pointed out that the rural popu lation was greater than the urban and their views should be consulted in such a measure. They reiterated the arguments given in parliament against the measure, but Sir Henry Drayton pointed out that the rail- way commission's business was not to-decide whether the country should adopt daylight saving but whether the railways should adopt if, and on this, it appeared that the cymurission iad pretty well made up itf mind. ~ CONTENTS .

SOUGHT SAFETY WITH THE ALLIES The Mysterious Disappearance of German Burgomasters Cleared Up. Berlin, April 2. Details of the Adalbert Oehler, the chief burgomas- ter of Dusseldorf, who vanished dur- ing the last Spartacan uprising there, and has not been seen since, are pub- lished by the Vossische Zeitung. Oeh- fer fled across the Rhine to the occu- pied district, the paper says, and has remained there, although his return has been urged strongly by the citi- zens of Dusseldorf, who want to have the legal status of his case clear- ! ed up. The paper also claims that the provincial governor of that district, Dr. Kruse, fled across the Rhine, but has returned. He was exonerated and reinstated in his office, despite the fact that he visited General Mi- chelet, the Belgian commander west of the Rhine, during his absence and begged him to occupy Dusseldorf.
