Ottawa, May 16.-- The budget consumed an uneventful day in parliament yesterday. Hom, W. R. Motherwell, minister of agriculture, strove to show that there was little udifference between the Liberal and turn to the screw in the Ruhr while tendeavoring at the same time to con- tinue conversations over reparations with London and Rome.

Leaders of the bandits are said to have the emissaries yesterday afternoon at Dragon Paw CHff, and counter proposals were discussed.

Bhe sprung a leak after passing the Ducks, and the captain {ried to make Picton, but was unable to do so. The water increased steadily in her hold and when it wis evident that she could not be kept aboat, the crew . took to the life boat and reached the shore just above Emerald. W. H. Hall, the Whig's correspon. . dent at Bath, saw the schooner sink, and upon learning all the facts, tele phoned the information to the Whig. The schooner Jamieson was own- ed by Captain Savage and a Picton coal dealer. Up to two years ago she was owned by Captain McCullagh, Napanee, and sailed out of Kingston for a number of years. It is not likely that salvage operations will be undertaken. N MORE OORN RAISING. In the Prairie Provinces of Canada This Year.

The men, who are Macedonians, carried on a restaurant and confec- tionery business on Queen street, east, and it was alleged that they had taken Verda Kirkland, a young girl who was in their employment, into a back room and assaulted her. On a charge of attempted rape a jury in the Assizes found them guilty, and Justice Latchford sentenced them to seven years in the peniten- tiary. The day after sentence had been imposed, Mr. Shorey came into court with an a affidavit from the girl In which she revoked the evidence she had given in court, which had re- sulted in the conviction of the men. Her story, she said, must have been dreamed. His Lordship ruled that since Be had imposed sentence the matter "was out of his hands, and must be taken up with the minister' of justice. This was done, but while a copy of the evidence was being prepared for the Hon, Mr. Doherty, the girl made another statement in which she denied the truth of the statempnts she had. made in her af. fidavit, and asserted that the evi- dence sie had given in court was true. 2 . In March, 1921, the girl. jumped from the Queen street bridge over, the Don, and was rescued -by P. C.' Britain, who had her taken to St. Michael's , Hospital.
