If thig plan is carried out, it will mean that the prisoners will be taken from Kingston in the morning and upon arrival at Napa- nee will immediately face their tgial and will then be committed to stan: trial at the siting of the high court a February. They will then be rushed back to Kingston jail before evenin and will remain until the sitting takes place in Napanee, Carefully Guarded. Al the Kingston county jail a very careful watch is being kept on tn: | three men, bota day and night. Thay are kept in separate célls, and ara | not permitted fo converse with one _ another. The young men are visited dally by their relatives, but no por- son is permitted io go close to then. It is statad that all three are quite willing to. talk sbout their position, but when the matter of the killing of Constable B is even suggeste!, they are absolutély mum. It is thought that they will remain silact on this question until the hearing of the case in Napanee, and then thera may be some sensational deveiop- meats. Frederick Bryant appears tc feel his position more keenly than the Upton brothers. He is da'iv visited by his mother and young wife, The Finger Prints. The reading. of the fingerprints | on the window sill of Smith's jewe:ry store, where three men were attempt- ing to break in oi the night the mur- der was committed, will likely play a part in connection with the trial, Im- mediately after the killing of Con- stable Beard, Chief Barrett, of Napa- -nee, had a special constable placed at the window so that no.person could come close to it until the finger-pris: expert arrived from Ottawa to take | the impression. The .finger-prin's have also been taken off the Robin- son car in which the murderers of Constable Beard are supposed to have driven. : Old time residents of Napanee ih- form the Whig that this is the first time in their experience that young men: under the age of twenty have appeared in that town to answer to the charge of murder. It is a vory sad case on account of the twin bro thers being implicated.

ELLIOT OF TRADE REVIVAL British Shipping Magnate Says) Depression Is Not at Lowest Yet. London, Jan. 6.--8ir Walter Run- ciman, the shipping magnate, de- clares that it ie not only silly, but perhaps a crime, for uninformed politicians to maintain that they see signs of a return of trade prosperity.

Thus far in January there have been 20, "The percentage of deaths is about the same as it was before prohibi- tion, but even though patients escape death they are very much sicker than alcoholics used to be before pro- hibition. They are also slower in recovering, and the after effects are worse." 38,000 in Manitoba Want regul~te nature instead of comply- irg h its laws." S..

Ottawa, Jan. 6.--The proposal of Hon.

Only on one occasion has a party | leader been elected by national come |vemtion. This occurred in the case - {of the present premier, Mr. King. In certain cases men became leaders by being called upon to form a gov. ernment, In other cases notably in the case of Sir Wiitrid Laurier, leadership was conferred through caucus on the recommendation of the retiring leader, A unique method was adopted in |the case of Mr. Meighen.

Such confirma. tion in anything like a national |sense cannot come from his caueus | inasmuch as six provinces of Con federation will be unrepresented in {that caucus.

This is accounted for fn part by a slight increase in produc. tion on the farms, heavy importa: tions from the United States, where prices have fallen seriously, and the appearance at western ports of Chin- ese eggs. These latter are not the "canned" eggs of rather shady repute, but re gular case stuff,~and if early trial shipments prove at all profitable, Oriental dealers may play a promi uent part in supplying demand in the western provinces, FAILURES INCREASED, of Hnglund Hard Hit by Trade Slump. : London, Jan. §.--How the trade slump hit the manufacturing centres in the north of England is revealed ina return just made of the banks ruptcies in that section of the coun try, In the Manchester district there were 243 failures last year, compar- ed with 95 in 1920.
