Condemns Attacks. Dublin, Dec. 17.--In a statement issued yesterday the Dail Eireann WOMAN SAYS DOCTOR MADE HER LIFE A HORROR Mrs. Raizen Tells More Details of Relations With Dr. @Glickstein. New York, Dee, 17.--Revealing more and more of the load of anguish which she sald last became unbear- able and drove her to take a human lite, Mrs, Lilllan S. Raizen tonight supplied an added motive for sending a bullet through the hear: of Dr. Ab raham Glickstein in his Brooklyn of-- fice last Saturday. This, she confessed, was that dur- ing the six years ef: their intimacy, Dr. Glickstein had performed _an operation which had rendered her incapable of motherhood. "Only after months of married life with Mr. Raizen, to whom she wis married last May, she paid, did she realize the full extent 4f her misfor- tune, which inflamed in her the de- _ #ire for vengeance on the author of ~ her unhappiness. This disclosure on the part of the young woman, who is awaiting "ria! on a charge of firet degree: murder, was followed by the information another source, that her trial would be notable for the intnoduction .of ideas and phrases unfamiliar to legal terminology--her alleged 'vengeance complex", "her murder obsession"--- words borrowed from the lexicon of the pscho-analyst. This wes predicted by Dr. Samuel A. Tannenbaum, the neurologist, who advised Mrs. Raisen to go south for | a change when, he sail," he 'thought his patient's nerves had been strained to the breaking point by her suffer- ings.

Montreal, Dee. 17.--"Idiocy has reached' its zenith in the style of wo- men's dress," declared Justice Brun- eau, while hearing evidence in ~ separation case in the Practice Di- vision of the Superior Court, "It had reached such a point that today, in the cold blasts of mid-Dec- ember, we see women on the streets in decollete dresses--very decollete, | | Monday the Frost & Wood Co., whose |! some of them--and wearing slippers and silk stockings, whereas in the month of July we see them with their necks encircled by the warm fur of the silver fox." The case under adjudication was quite unusual in its circumstances and a sense of contrast evidently stir- red the judge to make his remarks. The wife who sought a judicial separ- ation from her husband, declared, in reciting her grievances, that he was tod niggardly' fo' provide her with rubbers, "Yes," concluded the judge, after his observations on slippered and sil-stockinged feet, "women ought to wear rubbers at this season; they are a necessity." Judgment on the question of sep- aration and alimony was reserved, FARMER OF NORFOLK STRANGELY MISSING Drove to Simcoe From Home 'and Has: Not Since Been Heard of.

MUST SAV SAYS GEDDES Great Britain Must Save 200 Million Pounds to Avoid Bankruptcy. London, Dec. 17.--The economy committee presided over by Sir Eric Geddes has now unanimously agreed on their interim report and present- ed it the chancellor of the excho- quer. This interim report, together with the final one to be presented in Janu- ary, is intended to effect economies of £195,000,000 in the public service According to an unofficial but au- thoritative forecast report the com- mittee considers that a reduction ap- proaching £200,000,000 must he made or the country would be 'n danger of bankruptcy. In addition to the admiralty, war office, air, edu- cation, labor and health ministries. the interim report deals with the old- age pensions and war pensions ser- vice.. Recommendations are made for co-ordinating some of the services of the admiralty, the war office, and the air ministry. In respect of 'he admiralty, large proposals are made for the scrapping of ships of differ- ent categories, the building of four J Hood battleships having been stop- ped by the Washington agreement. The proposal is now made, it is un- derstood, that the building of other classes contemplated, including tor- pedo boats and submarines, should be reduced in the same ratio. Further scrapping of older ships is recom- mended, with corresponding reduc- tion in personnel and naval reserves. The total army economies proposad would ft is stated, amount to a sav- ing of about £20,000,000. The committee has.based its recommen- dations on the reduction of man- power.

INVENTOR OF SPRING BED DIES IN CHAUMONT Turned Invention Over to! Furniture Dealers--Lived | to Be Ninety-Three. Watertown, N.Y., Dec. 17.--James P. Libby, 93, of Chaumont, inventor of the spring bed, and a resident of this section of the state for nearly a | years, died yesterday ®t his home i: | that village after having been in fail- ing health for the past two years. Mr. Libby came to 'he United States from Ireland in 1848. He studied in the schools at Cape ViLn- | cent and moved to this city a ew years later, entering a carriage tac- tory to learn 'he business. While learning that business, he hit upon the idea of a spring bed, built on the lines of a spring buggy, and as it de- veloped, it revolutionized the bed manufacturing business. Laoking funds to gain basic pa'- ents Mr. Igbby turned his invention over to a number of furniture deal- | ers who started manufacturing the new style beds.

ERITION. 70 BISHOP FALLON'S CLAIM For More Goverament Financial Assistance to Separate Schools--Mr. Hocken Strongly Disagrees With His Lordship on the The reply to the address of Bishop Fallon on the question of "Increased Financial Support for the Separate Schools," was given by H. C. Hocken, M. P., Editor of the Orange Sentinel, before the members of the Canadian Club on Friday evening. +The speak- er was introduced by J. M. Mughes, the president of the club, who also remarked that Mr Hocken had come fdewn to Kingston to set farth the other side of the controversy on this important question. Before launching into his subject proper, Mr. Hocken paid an eloquent tribute to Bishop Fallon. whom he knew well. When tha bishop first came to Torooto with sporting teams he had endeared himself to the iovers of sport in tha: city, by his manly qualities. 'It is therefore a great honor io me," sontinued the speaker, "to be her2 tonight to fol- 10w him. Of course, I don't view this cuestion in the same light as my honored friend. In fact, I don't think that he has any case at all." Mr. Hocken then took up the dif- ferent points in the bishop's address, and brought out many strong argu- ments in opposition. He stated that if there was really qny constitutional grievance, then more in favour of its being rectified than himself, but he didn't believe that there were any such grounds. The speaker also conténded that the public schools were for the children of every faith, and should, therefore, receive priority over the separate school, which was only for one faith. Under the public school system, every child could receive an education without interference with the relig- ious belief of the recipient, but this was not the case with the separate school, as there religious teaching was -paramount, He concluded his address with an inspiring appeal for a school systemi whereby thé children of every faith might grow up side by side and grow to know and love each other, which would be a wonderful blessing to this country. Mr. Hocken's address was as fol- lows: ! - .... Ontario Generous, "Ontario has been exceedingly gen- to ap (HT [} kJ ud pr EE Ey Lo OA TP A ANPHY 7 ro sw rs there was no one | School Question. erous to separate schools. Remem- ber there are fiye provinces in Can- ada where Separate schools do not exist by law---in fact, are absolutely | prohibited by law--the three mari- time provinces, Manitoba, and British Columbia. In none of these prov- inces are separate schools permitted. And in the two prairie provinces, where separate schools are establish- | ed, they exist by usurpation of auth: crity by the federal power, That is the position taken by the highest con- stitytional authorities we have, in- ciuding Sir Robert Borden himself, and he is on record in Hansard on the debate on the Autonomy Bill to that effect. So that there are only two provinces in Canada having separate schools that accepted them voluntar- ily. And the province of Ontario did not accept them volantarily until Confederation, Separate schools were forced on the province of Ontario in 1863, The united parliaments of Upper and Lower Canada had, I think, 66 members from each prov- ince, There was en understanding between representatives in that par liament that no act affecting either of the provinces should be passed without a majority from the particu- lar province affected. Now the re | presentatives from the province of | Upper Canada adhered to that strict« ly. The representatives from the province of Quebec did mot. And when the Separate School Act was passed in 1863, 31 members from the province of Ontario--what is now the provin¢ée of Ontario--voted against that bill, and 21 voted for it. So there was a majority of ten votes from the representatives of the prove ince of Ontario against the bill, But 556 members of that house from the province of Quebec voted for it, which gave a vote of 76. If the mem- bers of the house had adhered to the understanding that bill would not have been placed on the statute books in 1863. So I think I am within rea- sonable limits when I say that when the bil] was passed in 1863 it was forced on the province of Ontario by the votes of the representatives of the province of Quebec, Catholic Record Quotations, The Catholic Record, of London, having challenged the statement that there was such an understanding for a majority from the province affect- ed, the following quotations were given by Mr. Hocken, and taken from a letter written by him to the Catho- lic Record: "Your other point of attack was that I said there was an understand- ing that no act affecting one province should be passed without a majority of the representatives of that prove ince voulng for it. I said that, and I maintain that such was the case, and I am able to show that the govern- | ment of the late John Sandfield Mae- | donald (himself a Roman Catholi¢) | was committed to that principle. Whetever opinions individual mem- { bers of parliament held, the govern- ment of the day was committed to the hilt to observe that principle, That being the case, I think my state- ment that there was an understand- ing to that effect is within the mark. To give you proof of what I say, Iam able to quote Mr. Joseph Pope In his memoirs of Sir John Macdonald, who says, 'While Mr. Scott's bill pass« ed, it was carried by the votes of Lower Canada, and of Mr. John A. Macdonald and his personal friends. A large number of Upper Canadian supporters of the government, great- ly to the wrath of Mr. J. 8. Macdon- ald voted against it, thereby placing the ministry in a minority of tem | votes, as regarded Upper Canada'."
