It is a pamphlet which Northcliffe wrote and advertised in his papers, apropos of his resigna- tion from the Newspaper Proprie- tors' Association, criticizing owners who bought papers after making money in other businesses."

Ottawa, June 20.--The special house committee on .freight rates met in executive session yesterday. Some of those present afterward stated that the different elements were simply sparring for time and anxious to feel out the position of the others. The present position is that the railways have offered what approxi- mates a 20 per cent. reduction in the rates on grain in the west. In eastern Manitoba this new rate fig- ures about the same as the rate under the Crow's Nest Pass agree- ment, but it goes up from different western points as far as the moun- tains. The average cut is about 20 per cent. the railways is a cut of approximate- Still another is a cut of about 16 per cent. in the east on lumber and forest products. These propositions are not made directly by the railways, special representatives on the com- mittee. Some of the Progressives concluded that these cuts had been made at the bidding of the govern- ment, and were really government figures. However, that contention received an official denial last night. So far as can be learned, noth:ug in the nature of a committee report has yet been drafted. There is still a general feeling that the Crow's Nest agreement will be suspended for perhaps a period of two years. Even this phase has not come dir- ectly before the committee, because the minute such a proposal is made the Progressives will start their fight, and judging from their atti- tude now, a bitter fight it will be. in the east.

Fredericton, N.B., June 20.----New Brunswick is headed for a place among the provinces of Canada which have adopted government controlled sale of liquor. That is the interpretation political observers put on results of three by-elections to fill vacancies in the provincial lez- islature, the last of which took place on Saturday in King's county. Dur- ing the ast session of the legislature a bill was prépareéd Tor presentation to the house, which would have put (into effect in New Brunswick a sys- {tem of liquor sales under govern- ment control, similar to that in Brit ish Columbia. When the last days of the session were reached, Hon. Walter Foster, the Liberal premier, announced, fol- lowing a caucus of the government supporters, that the bill had been dropped. | In a statement which he made in {announcing the bill would not be in- troduced, the premier astounded politicians, and the people of tha province generally, by frankly de- claring that 'public sentiment, which I believe is favorable, has not as yet {been reflected in the members whq | represent the people in the legisia- |ture, and I cannot at the present time, be assured of a sufficient ma- jority to put the bill through." He declared he wanted an act which "would make it unnecessary for our best citizens 'to become law- breakers. That would stamp out boot-leggers, moonshiners and others committing illegal acts." Three new supporters of the gov- ernment have now been elected in as many by-elections, thus not only giving the government a safe major: ity in the house, but it is also said insuring the passage of the proposed Liquor Control Act. Nev Brunswick has had a prohibi. tion act on its statute books cin:e 1916, which is said to be the most rigid dry law in America, and oppoa- ents of the government in the by- elections have called upon the people to vote against the government upon the grounds that if the administra- tion were successful in these tests of public opinion, there would be a r:- linquishment of the results of nast dry victories. men prior to his arrest, there was the New York, June 20.--Twenty-five termined to prevent a repetition this MUST NOT SPEND MORE.

Huntsville, June 20.--One of the " first conventions from the United States to visit the Highlands of On- tario, this season, is assembling here today.

The directors recommend that this capital cost be reduced to what might be considered the pres- ent replacement value and estima'e the value at $75 a ton. Such revalu- ation would reduce the capital cost to about $28,000,000, a writing down of no less than $45,000,000. SCOTLAND'S WATERFALLS TO PROVIDE ELECTRICITY To Be Put to Other Use Than Providing Scenery For Tourists. London, June 20.---Scotland is waking up to the fact that its lakes and waterfalls may be made to serve other purposes than providing scenic attraction for tourists. As proof of this the "Grampian Electricity Bill" has been given a second reading in the House of Commons. The company is empowered to col- lect and use the waters of 15 lochs and 99 small lakes, rivers and streams, over an area of 417 square miles. The waters proposed to be utilized are estimated to be capable of wei erating 56,000 horse-power to sup- 'insistent suggestion regarding his mentality. He seemed to particular- ly raise that question and to empha- size that he was fully competent mentally. When newspapermen cotn- seled him against raising this ques- tion at all, he became angry and he accused them of omitting the most important statement. In brief this was the testimony heard this morning in the court of King's Bench where Adelarde De- ilorme, charged with the murder of his half-brother, Raoul, is fighting being sent to trial on the charge, on grounds that he is mentally unfit to face a judge and jury.

Thompson, owner and driver of the car, escaped with slight bruises. Approve Disarmament Pact. Ottawa, June 20.--Through its parliament, Canada yesterday for- or 30 miles off the New Jersey coast several liquor-laden vessels are rid- ing the waves awaiting a favorable |opportunity to run into this or some {other nearby port or for bootleggers to come out in smaller craft and buy up their cargoes and transport them ashore. The bootleg value of the liquors such a short distance from shore is placed at more than $3,000.- 000. One vessel alone is known to have on board 10,000 cases of whis- key valued at $1,000,000 at bootleg prices, while another has on board 6,000 cases. The bootleg value of these two cargoes is placed at more than $1,500,000. Zone Chief John Appleby, General Federal Prohibition Agent for New York State and New Jersey, stated tonight that one of his men had visit- ed the ship carrying the big cargo in the guise of a prospective purchaser. It was ascertained that regular lines of small crafts are operated be- tween New York and New Jersey points and the rum-laden vessels. MR. FIELDING'S RECORD.
