Finally Fletcher asked for a pri- vate interview with the chief, dur- ing which he admitted the theft and told where the horses and they were found in a in a dense growth of bush about four miles from- the railway track north of Summertown. .

New York, Sept." 10.--Less one half of one per cent. of the valu- ables taken by burglars from homes | | in New York City are being recover- ed by the'police, an official of a pro- | minent burglary insurance company | said. "In the last six months the number | of robberies of homes has increased 40 per cent., according to our statis- tics," "he added. "The amount of losses has totalled much more, show- ing an increase of from 90 to 100 per {cent. And the conditions appear to be getting worse everyday." | So desperate has the situation be- | come" with the burglary insurance { companies that at a meeting of the ! { Burglary Insurance Underwriters | sociation, behind closed doors, | decided to adopt a new form of policy {and increase the present rates | burglary insurance ten per cent.

Mexico City, Sept. 10.-----The econ- | omic situation in the southern, dis- tricts of Lower California is describ- ed as intolerable by travelers re- cently returning from that region. Rainfall has been exceedingly light | in that region for the past three years and the scarcity of pasture has caus- | ed the death of thousands of heads | of 'livestock, the main industry. The inhabitants are said to be in { destitute circumstances which have | been aggravated by a recent federal order prohibiting fareign vessels from transporting merchandise be- tween Mexican ports; 'This order which was aimed to protect the na- tiona] merchant marine has virtually isolated the region as only two Mexi- can vessels are éngaged in coast- wise trade there and their visits are at many weeks intervals, Protests to President Obregon by the inhabitants of the district are ex- pected to.relieve the situation. Lloyd George Gives Labor Body View On Irish Question. London, Sept. 10.--Mr. Lloyd | George has sent the following tele- j gram to the president of the Trades { Union Congress at Cardiff: "I have to thank you for your telegram of September 6th from Car- diff regarding the Irish negotiations. No one is more opposed than his Ma- | jesty"s Government to bloodshed, and, most of all, to fratricidal war pire, but I have the authority of the greater democratic statesman in his- tory for the belief that even blood- shed is better than the disruption of a living political organism whose strength and unity are essential to the freedom of the world." Chemist Thinks Bible Is Not Up-To-Date New York, Sept. 10.--A suggesticn { that sciencé could improve the Bible | by revising it was made before the | international conference of chemis:s | by Charles Baskerville, d4ahoratory | director at the College of the city of New York. He said he did not believe the | Bible was up to date, because of pro- i gress of science in the last 150 years, "Revision of this standard work of literature mupt be essentially the task of science," he maintained. An Anglo-Bulgarian Company. Sofia, Sept. 30.--The Bulgarian government has accepted, im prin- ciple, the proposal of the British river syndicate form an Anglo-Bulgarian company to run boats on that river. This pro- posal conforms to the general poliey followed by England in respect to the Danube, tending to give to England a preponderant position in the river traffic of this international] water way. Reverse Votes on Prohibition, London, Sept. 10.--Polling in three districts in Glasgow where the polls in the Temperance Act election last November were declared illegal showed a complete reversal from the former results.

There is some icontrast between Sir Thomas White's fee and that of. Hon. Wm, but it is known that Sir Thomas has a very strong leaning towards thrift in all matters involving expense to the dominion, and this consideration [is reflected in his emolument for the services rendered in this arbitration | Which has involved about one year's REPORTED INTOLERABLE | "ork.

Edmonton, Alta., Sept. 10.-- There is actual danger of the Indians in the Near North becoming extinct unless measures are taken to safe- guard them against t! hereditary diseases, accordi ) to the provincial hegith depattment by De W. W. Bell, health inspector. Bell has 'just returned from an in- spection there through the Waba- | skaw district, north-east of Lesser Slave Lake, where he investigated the prevailing conditions among In- dians and half-breeds. Not only were large numbers of | the Indians found to be tubercular, but venereal diseases were prevalent, Dr. Bell reported, and scores of child- ren showing symptoms of both. ' It was particularly to look - into the smallpox situation that the trip was undertaken, and a total of 462 per- sons were vaccinated, including whites and Indians. | Footwear Is Featured With Large Buckles New York, Sept. 10.--Coionial buckles on feminine footwear have returned to style with the revival of the tongue pump, one learns from the shop talk on Fifth avenue. Mostly the mode is modified colonial, but the larger buckles also are in de- mand. , Jet, 'gunmetal and nickie finishes are preferred. The strap pump, fashion sracles | say, will still be favored by | dressers this fall. | lic combinations to go with this icot- | { wear include bright and 'satin , ver, and similar effects in gold. | FOREIGNERS THE CAUSE sil+ OF GROWIH OF PARIS Largest Increase in Americans | .in Passy and Jews in Belleville. Paris, Sept. 10.--Statistics show that the increase in the population of Paris over the census of ien years Ago is not due to increased birth rate but to the influx of foreigners. Of an 18,000 increase 11,000 are foreigners, with the largest num- bers at Passy, where the American colony is established, and at Belle- ville, where Jews of all nations are rapidly forming a Ghetto along the lines of that in New York. The total element is estimated at 69,000, and as there is a new law which provides that the city's re- presentation in the Chamber of De- puties be based on purely French population, instead of on the total census, as in the past, several politic- ians see the possibility of losing their jobs at the next elections. Another interesting point of the mew census is the great excess of women. Although this - is natural after a long war, the statisticians de- clare that the shortage of males is more serious in: France than in any other country in Europe. One dis- trict in Paris repérted 47,000 male adults and children and 66,000 fe- males, the latter chiefly between the ages of 2¢ and 39 years, 10.--Hon. William | H.

According to members of the | league, the models have passal up | their careers because of the 'nter- mittent employment and the cost of maintaining beauty. Frantic modistes after touring the | studios of commercial photographers And artists, found a woeful lack of pretty girls. Even homely médels, > who might have been decorated up to be near-beautiful, were unavailable. Miss Therese Thomas, one of the Low survivors, who has heen kept in {constant employment by Mme Rip- |ley, the president of the league, ex- | plained about the high cost of beauty {and the Jack of models. i 'It costs teo much money,' she {sald. "Unless a model has a perman- [ent position, it is hard for her to keep {a permanent wave in her hair.

Miss Thomas estimated that waves, shampooing, and other "trimmings" necessary for the maint2nance of beauty costs $8 a week. | PREFER TO STAY IN CITY. smart; Buttons in metal- !

When the call came for men for harvest work, however, only about 600 of the 1,600 men registered ex- pressed a desire to go, in the face of the fact that there was scarcely any present or prospective work for many weeks.

Dr. Eder, head of the Zionist com- mission in Palestine, urged the cou- gress to realize the importance of "the open door" in Palestine.

Toronto, Sept. 10.--Prohibition is working a devere hardship on the medical colleges of the country, ae it is causing a dearth of bodies for dissecting purposes, Dr. J. D. Me- Murrich, professor of anatomy, said when addressing the convention of the Canadian Embalmers Association, Since prohibition, Prof. McMurrich had found that men belonging to the class which formerly died destitute through indulgence in liquor were now leaving estates sufficient to give them regular burial, and the colleges rarely secured any bodies from this source now. The professor appealed to the embalmers to assist the suf- fering colleges as much as possible in their present difticuity,
