London, Nov. 4.--Great Britain and the Sinn Fein have arrived at a substantial agreement as to the fu- ture government of Ireland, but it is dependend on agreement on Ulster. Both sides are now awaiting the ar- rival of Sir James Craig on Saturday, when it is expected that ns will go into conference with Prime Minister Lloyd George on the new proposals. Both the Sinn Feiners and the Bri- tish are hopeful of His acceeptance, for he has already declared his wish' for peace "at a fair price." The plan of settiment calls for emlarging the power and democratizing the council | of Ireland so as to make it a real Ir- ish parliament. Under the present act the members are partly elected and partly nominated by the crown, and the Ulster gix counties have equal representation with all the rest of Ireland. The, Sinn Fein insists and the prime minister agrees that the coun- cil should be democratically lected and the representation should be based on population. The British, however, are pledged not to take from Ulster without its consent: any of the privileges granted under the act, and the next step, therefore, is to gain Ulster's consent to give up its advantage in the council. In return for this concession the Sinn Fein is willing to abandon its claim for the independence of Ireland and to grant to Ulster the widest measure of autonomy in the Irish state. If Ulster refuses the prime minister is said to have declared that he would resign rather than to un- dertdke the task either of crercing Ulster, except in case it violated its repeated, pledges, or of coercing the rest of Ireland' afer Ulster had blocked the success of a fair arrarge- ment, Law Confers With Premior, Londen, Nov, 4.--DBonar l.aw con- ferred. with the pramier last night, and is taking part i: an effort to reach a settlement of the Irish ques- tion.

A SNEAK THIEF BUSY AT A RUMMAGE SALE Woman Lost a Satchel With $15--Thief Cut It Off Her Arm. When you go to a rummage sale you should keep a close eye on your at a sale in the island market building a woman, who is the mother of eight children, was the victim of a sneak tnief who cut the little satchel she carried on her. arm and got away with its contents, fifteen dollars, a sum that the average woman can- not afford to lose in these times. Another woman at 'he sale lost two dollars. There was great excitment when it became known that a sneak thief was in the building. The po- lice were notified, but ® was impos- sible to locate the pickpocket. One more rummage sale is to be held in the island market building next week and that will be the last the city property committee will per- mit there. Other quarters will have to be 'secured for these very benefic- ial sales. ROW OVER A TWO-SPOT » 7 iii {REWARD FOR TRYING TO FOIL BANDITS Two Employees of the Bank of Hamilton Are Given Watches.

THE POWER HOUSE AT NAPANEE BURNED Relatives Were in Attendance at the Funeral of Late J. M. Wallace. (From our own correspondent) Napanee, Nov. 4.--Thursday af- ternoon fire broke out in the power house, situated on the canal, and al- though the fire brigade was prompt- ly on the scene the power house was but a skeleton when the fire was ex- tinguished. It is not known how the fire originated. A new pump had just been installed for emergency purposes and this is out of commis- sion for the time being. James B. Wallace and daughter, Margaret, Meaford, came to attend the funeral of his father, the late J. M. Wallace. Mrs. Robt. Fuzzell, and son, Charles, Niagara her brother, the late J. M. Wallace. Dr. R.

POTATO GLUT IN TORONTO Prices Drop To $1.40 and $1.50 Per Bag on Market. Toronto, Nov. 4.--While it is re- ported that there"is a glut of pota- toes in the local market and that certain dealers hoping for better prices are paying demurrage charges to the railways on carloads rather than accept delivery, inquiry among commission 'houses failed to bring confirmation. It was admitted that potatoes which a few weeks ago had cold in Toronto as high as $2 a bug were now being offered in the whole sale market at from $1.40 to $1.50 a bag, but it was stated that the break was a seasonal one and tht during the past week there had been a steady tone to the prices at the lower level. Most of the potatoes coming into To- ronto are from Ontario points, and while there are some shipments from New Brunswick, these are compara- tively unimportant high freight rates being a great handicap. The Daisy is Chosen. Kansas City, Nov. 4.--The daisy was adopted by unanimous vote as the official flower of the American Legion, The poppy had many adher- ents because of its association with Flanders battlefields, but, when it was explained that it was pot an American flower and could not be obtained in large quantities, the "poppy party" shifted its support to the daisy.

Ross; M.P.P,, was the unanimous choice of a big con- vention of the National Liberal and Conservative party held in Ontario hall on Thursday evening. There was great enthusiasm and the hall was { crowded. . s W. R. Givens presided, and Dr. Ross' nomination was moved by Per- cy Bauld, a member of the G.W.V.A., and seconded by William Purtell and Mrs, Charles McKay, the latter on behalf of the ladies present. Nr. Bauld, in moving the motion, severe- ly arraigned Hon. Mackenzie King {upon his war record. "Not only did he oppose the sending of reinforce- ments to us in France, bu: he de- clined to enlist himse!f und went to the United States where he drew a good fat salary at a soft job promo- {ting the Rockefeller interests, while | Dr. Ross was risking his life in the interests of Canada.".

Arthur Meighen, and the pol- icies of the National Liberal and Conservative party and pleiging the fullest support in the cowing elec- tion, Dr. Ross Accepts, Hop. Dr. Ross received great ap- plause when he entered the hall. In accepting the nomination he review- ed the politica] situation. He declar- ed that Mackenzie King was known to be going to certain personal de- feat and after the elections the pre- miership of Canada would go to a leader in Quebec if the Liberal or Progressive groups outnumbered the government following. Referring to the tariff issue he said that "if we bought goods outside the country we got the goods and the foreign coun- try got our money, but if we made the goods in Canada we had both the goods and money," and this was good for Canadian 'industries and Cana- dian labor. W. R. 'Givens opened the proceed- ings by welcoming the gathering. He said: "We are assembled to select a candidate, and a winning candidate. If the man that I have in mind is selected I feel sure that he wil] be a candidate whose life has been one of service to the public." Referring to present political conditions, Mr. Givens said that everybody would be glad when this election is over, There is much that is blamed upon the government that does not Tay at the door of the government, There is some umemployment, but Canada is in reality better off than many 'other countries. Speaking of thé tariff, Mr. Givens said that the other parties ad- vocated what was practically free trade and if any of them should get into power, we would have a policy of free trade which would not be i good tor the country. He quoted Hon. Dr. Edwards in a vecent speech as showing how injurious free trade would he to Canada. At a recent meeting in Toromto, Hon. 'Dr. Ea- wards asked whether it would be a good thing to open our doors and permit foreigners to flood the coan- try with cheap labor. The answer from the audience was "No." Well them, it it was bad, it was also bad to open our doors and permit foreign countries to dump their cheap products on to our mar- kets, taking from the mouths of Ca- nadian workmen their very bread and bufter. "We have two candidates already in the field in Kingston," the speak- er sald. "Mr. Campbell is a high- minded man, a citizen who has done as the candidate was chosen the or- {ganization would be formed and the first meeting would be held on Tues- day evening next when Hon. R. B. Bennett, minister of justice, would be the speaker. He had expected to have Sir Henry Drayton present at the nomination, but it was impos- sible. He called for nominations and Percy Bauld, late of the C. E. F., and a member of the G. W. V. A, responded. x -- The Nomination "We have always desired to have a representative of the soldiers in parliament and I @m going to nomi- nate a soldier and a man," he said. "Mr. Crerar represents the farmers. We want a man who is big enough to represent all classes. What have we to expect from Mr. Crerar or from Mr. King should théy become the leaders of the government of this country? Some of the farmers com- plained when their sons were con- scripted. Why shouldn't they be call- ed? They have no more right than a city boy to be excused. What have | we to expect from Mr. King? When | we were putting our all on the altar | jof our country, Mackenzie King was studying social welfare at a good fat salary. Are we {to put our destiny in the {hands of a man like that? I am sure {that he has not the interests of Ca- nada at heart. He was opposed to compulsory military service and in my opinion any man or any woman | who saw service in France are trait- {ors to Canada if they support a man {like Mackenzie King. I say 'Ross for Kingston.' Let that be the battle cry for Comrade Gen. Ross." (Ap- plause.) William Purtell, in seconding the nomination as a representative of good man, one who would support the policies of Hon. Mr. Meighen. W. R..Givens called for other nominations and the answer "No" came from the audience. '"Then with your approval I will cast a ballot for Hon. Dr. Ross." (Applause.) Thé following committee was then appointed to wait upon Dr. Ross, at his residence, inform him of his no- mination and conduct him to the meeting: R. N. F. McFarlane, C. Higgins, Captain John Donnelly, W. Cook, J. F. Sowards, Chester Wood, W. H. Graham and W. B. Dalton. Salisbury's orchestra played throughout the evening. While wait- ing for the return of the deputation, A. E. Day presented a resolution ex- pressing confidence in Right Hon. Arthur Meighen, Dr. Ross, and in the policies of the National Liberal and Conservative party... " Day. referred briefly to the political situation and condemned the Liber- al and Progressive policies. The | Progressives were progressing back- wards. Mr. Meighen - was an old school mate of his and he knew him {as brilliant always.. He had the fin- est common sense and most excel- lent judgment. "We have the best financial policy and the best leader and we must win. It is a fact ob- servable to eareful readers that the opposition today does not depend upon winning either by their leaders or policies, but point out that there are 'three leaders and three parties, and we will, therefore, have group government, and Canada will get along anyway. That surely is a con- fession of defeat, But the country does not believe that. I believe that we will have a clean-cut victory and (Continued on Page 3.)
