TO-DAY WILL ROGERS "Doubling For Romeo" GOOD CHANCE FOR KINGSTON ToBecome Grain Trans- Shipment Point. The Montreal Harbor Com- mission to Look Into the Conditions Here. It is understood that the mem- bers of the Montreal Harbor Commis- sion, who were in Kingston on Sat- urday for a short time, on their way !5¢ westward, have undertaken to handle all grain passing by water through Canada and have taken over the gov- ernment elevators at Port Colborne. They will also handle all the grain ". In Ontario, which fidds its way to the various ports along the fromt. The purpose is to so handle the grain that the Montreal elevators will not be glutted, the cereal being held at various points along the route and then sent forward as re- Daily British Whig * ¥ ALLEN TO-DAY BEBE DANIELS in A Game Chicken er ------ |THE SECOND ADVENT Is PREDICTED IN 1949 'The Elect Will Then Take on | ~ Immortalitly, Says A. K. | MacMillan. nm Baltimore, Md., June 27.--Maybe (in 1925, as some assert, but beyond {doubt by 1949, Christ will retarn to {earth in a cloud, and the elect will | immediately take on immortality on {this planet, 'according to A. H. Mae- { Millan, 'general manager of the In- | ternational Bible Students' Associa- {tlon. He made this prediction to an audience at the Garden Theatre. A curious feature of the coming of the Kingdom will be the process of growing young again, Mr. MacMillan gays. If you are 80 years old at the time of 'the coming of Christ you will not at 6nce become young. Year ter' year you will shed your wrinkles and grow new hair, just as during the years before you put the | wrinkles on and became gradually | bald. | During this process you will re- (verse all your misdeeds.

It is understood that a strong ef- fort will be made to have Kingston made the terminal point of the Wel- land canal system so as to handle a great volume of the grain which must go east and which cannot go in he big vessels through the St. Law- © Yence canals. 'While the members of the commis- sion spent only ten minutes in the eity, they were eager to ascertain what were the harbor facilities here. They were amazed to find that the very question of terminal elevators had been thoroughly considered and plans prepared and approved by gov- ernment engineers for storage capa- eity of 5,000,000 bushels or more grain. They were greatly impressed br the work of J. M. Campbell, and on their return will spend several days to gq thoroughly into the whole matter, From 'what {is transpiring, it is evi- dent that something definite is going to happen, and at an early date, and Kingston will undoubtedly be chosen 8% the transshipping point at the foot of deep water, . @old Export Embargo : Extended for Year Ottawa, June 27.--A proclamation has been issued in an extra of The Canada Gazette extending the prohi- bition of the export of gold coin, gold bullion and fine gold bars for another year, The proclamation is issued under an -act passed three years ago, authorizing the continnu- ance of the measures taken during the war to prohibit the export of gold.' The present extension of the prohibition keeps it in force wuncil July 1st, 1923, unless an earlier ter- mination is made by proclamation. Rebel General Holding Tampico Oil Employees Washington, D.C., June 27.--For- ty employees of the Cortez Oil Com- . pany, nead Tampico, and destructi- ble property valued at a quarter of a million dollars, are being held by the rebel generdl 'until a ransom of fifteen thousand dollars is paid, pc- cording to a message from the Uni- ted States consul at Tampico to the ptate department here. THE MIND OF DELORME LIKE THAT OF A CHILD If He Is Found Insane, His Sis- ters May Also Be Restrained. Montreal, June 27.--That Ade- farde Delorme was governed with the mental development of a child of twelve and that his state of mind was no farther advanced than a lad of this age, was the outstanding tes- timony offered to the court this morning By Dr. Gaston De Belle~ feuille, defence alienist, at the re- sumption of the hearing to establish the prisoner's mental fitness to ~ #tand trial on the charge of mur- _ #aring his half-brother Raoul. ~ aX is stated authoritatively that I} Xbe Delorme is found insane, his sisters will also be placed in an asy- lam, -- Dutoh Secret Service Watching Ex-Kaiser ~The Hague, June 27.--Agents of the Dutch secret service are watch- Ing closely the ex-kaiser and crown prince of Germany in their places of The crown prince, acording tc liable information, visited his fa- her at Doorn three days before Wa- } Rathenau was assassinated.

London, June 27.--By a vote of 342 against 75 the House of Com- mons last night signified its ap- proval of the main lines of the gov- ernment's policy in regard to Ire- land, and in particular exonerated Home Becretary Shortt from blame in connection with the assassination of Sir Henry Wilson. The vote was not reached until eleven o'clock, after a day which had been marked by an extraordin- ary public tribute to the murdered field marshal, whose remains were laid at rest in St. Paul's cathedral, and by debates in both houses of parliament which will stand out in the annals of Great Britain as a conspicuous instance of wise and pa- tient statesmanship.

He said the imperial gov~ ernment would endeavor to stand be- tween the antagonists and prevent the loss of life and the destruction of property, and by so doing make it | absolutely clear that any attempt {from Southern forces to break into |the territory of Northern Ireland {Would be met and repulsed by 'im- | perial power, | Having regard for the fact that |there had been an assassination of a prominent man in England, Mr. |Churchill declared that for genera- | tions, and even in the height of the | Irish struggle, no attempt had been {made upon the lives of public persons {in this country, and that it was mon- | strous to make the tragic event and | dastardly outrage which had just | taken place the ground for an attack {upon the police authorities or upoa {the home secretary, Such things as the occupation of the Four Courts building 'in Dublin by Irish republican army must come to an end, Mr. Churchill declared.
