Mr. Stewart had been chatting with five friends in a corner of the Palais Royal, Sunnyside, for more than an hour. The inspector arrived about 3.20 p.m, He stepped into the hall, prac- tically deserted, and called Mr. Stewant over. "I have a warrant for rest," he sald. mw. He gripped Mr. Stewart's wrist. *"But-- I don't--" Mr. Stewart's face paled and he took a step back. His eyes narrowed, his lips twitched slightly, and shrugging his shoulders he said, "Well, I'll get my hat." He returned to his friends, muttered a few words to them, and picked up his hat. On the way to No. 6 police your ar- * station he did not say much beyond asking where he was being taken. Would Fight Action. Montreal, Oct. 4.--Interviewed by the Canadian Press here, Lt.-Col.

False Returns. Ottawy, Oct. 4.--Rt. Hon. W. S. Fielding, minister of finance, made this statement: 'From the curator's report and from other information obtained by @ representative of the department of finance, the department believes that the chief officials of the bank, in the period shortly before the bank's suspension, made returns to the minister of finance containing false and deceptive statements of the bank's affairs, contrary to the pro- visions of section 153. The returns in question were signed by Herbert J. Daly, president of the bank, and J. Cooper Mason, general manager of the bank. Mr. Mason died soon af- 'ter the returns were made. Mr. Daly, it is understood, is in the city of To- roato. "Acting under the advice of the department of justice, an official of the finance department, who pro- ceeded to Toronto for the purpose, has this day laid information be- fore the magistrate and a warrant has been issued for the arrest of President Daly." "These proceedings are taken un- der the Bank act. Whether further developments will call for action against other parties is a question to be comsidered in due course. As a matter of course, any legal pro- ceedings will be taken under the advice of the department of jus- tice." D. L. McCarthy to Prosecute. Toronto, Oct. 4.--Attorney-Gen- eral Nickie stated that D.

Adjournment till October 12th was made to-day in the hearings at the police court of the cases against the directors and officials of the sus- pended Home Bank.

London, Oct. 4.--At the Imperial Fconomjc Conference Premier King referred to what Canada already had done in regard to the British prefer- ence mentioning the increase grant- ed at the last session of the (lana- dian parliament. "We had in mind then," said Premier King, "the do- velopment of trade by an all-red route, but had also very much in mind the action of the British gov. ernment in undertaking to remove obstacles to the importation of our cattle into the British markets here. Throughout the Cenadian attitude in the matter of preference has heen cne of good will; bargaining has not been the basis of it. We have done what we have done believing it would be to our advantage, but believing aiso that it would be helpful té th? countries tc which the preference was extended, especially the Mother Country." Premier King also spoke of (he Canadian attitude towards imumigra- tion. He had gathered, he said, that the impression prevailed in some quarters that Canada was not anx- fous to receive immigranis from other countries, particularly from the British Isles. Nothing could he fur- ther from the truth than an Impres- sion of that kind. *'I think," he add- ed, "we are now at the 'point where we can welcome immigration of the right kind to our country. Certainly na stock could he more "velcoma than British stock of the kind which help- ed to make our country and our Em- pire what it is." It was important, however, con- tinued Mr. King, that regord be had to the economic condition «f the country, to the position of industries and to what it might be possibla for industry to absorb. He urged finally that as far as possible the channels of trade and communications should be cleared of obstructions. On behalf of South Afriza, Prem- "fer J. C. Smuts declared that he knew nothing of any conspiracy for a con- certed attack by the Dominions on the finance policy of Great Britain. Pensioners Decrease But Expenses Pile Up).

Transferring the Institution. | VILLAGE NOT PROSPEROUS While Penitentiary Exists There=-Too Much Untax- able Government Land. The village of Portsmouth desires to be rid of the provincial peniten- tlary and will petition' the govern- ment for the removal of the in- stitution to a site that will relieve the village of the nuisance that the prison has become by the increasing danger: to life when pris- oners escape. (Momeover, the village is kept from progressing, while the penitentiary owns the land separating it from the city of Kingston. 'There are about 300 acres of valuable land available for industrial and res- idential sites that would yield a large revenue, but which is lost wu the village, The penitentiary 'was built in 1842 and remains a8 a monument to the ideas of the people of that time, but nowhere else in- America is there a similar instituxion to be found to- day. All have been wiped out as pena] institutions, and their places have been taken by modern build- Ings located away from crowded centres, Danger From Rifle Firtng "It is almost impossible or a guard to discharge a rifie without endangering the lives of innocent people in Portsmouth," said on prominent resirent to a representa- tive of the Whig. "These rifles use shells with a bullet that will carry three of four miles and this know- ledge is all present when a guard carries a rifie there, Some or them have told me.many times that they are most concerned about the people among whom they live, especially during the excitement that is always 3° It prevents the guards firing and taking the chances that they are expected to take. "The pemitentiary ought to be removed far from any village, This hag been recognized by nearly every country, and our own province of Ontario was one of the first to de- molish its old reformatories and prisons in favor of the prison farm. Ft was recognized that the change meant life and health to the Inmates, removed an unsightly incumbrance from valuable property and a serious menace to the lives of innocent per- sons. Jui think of what it means when escaping prisoners run an au- tomobile at forty-five miles an hour through the village or up Palace street, and guards follow at inter- vals' at 'the same break- neck speed discharging their rifles, The thing is abcolutely wrong from the view- point of the residents. Then, too, you have the guards on the walls with rifles. They cannot shoot at a prisoner anywhere near ize m- stitution without the bullews =sriking some house." When interviewed, Reeve Halll day said that he heartily endorsed the proposal, "We want the lana, said he, 'because we can hardly carry on as a municipality without revenue, and the public institutions have.bought up all the land of any value that formerly contributed in a large way toward our revenue. I am sure the penitentiary ought to be removed to a more suitable site, say to some place in North Fron- tenac where there are thousands of acres of land avallable nd plenty of water. It is a mistake to have the penitentiary in a crowded district. and the time has come when the government should seriously consider the selection of a bebter site. We must not cease our efforts to have the penitentiary removed and even: tually we may succeed."

This he made clear in a con- versation with The Mail'and Empire correspondent, when he said: . "It is not repudiation. but the two questions must be considered sepaj- ately. Obviously, France must first pay the cost of restoration to her devastated regions with money ob- tained from Germany, but she is open then to discuss arrangements for liquidating inter-Allied debts."* It was suggested the amount ob- tained from Germany would leave little ovef for debts, to which Gan- vain replied: "Maybe, but there are the B and C bonds." "Are not the latter considered worthless," he was then asked. "Yes, but wrongly," the writer de- clared. "Personally, I believe it will be quite possible to redeem the C bonds (totalling $2,000,000,000 gold marks) eventually, and they would constitute a fund out of which Alljed debts could be settled to everybody's satisfaction."

SEES MONEY LOSS IN $7 A TON RATE C.P.R. President Throws Cold Water on Ontario's Hopes of Alberta Coal. Calgary, Alta., Oct. 4.----"If the whole of the domestic coal trade of Ontario was recured for Alberta it would only increase the operating of the rallways if any such aes of $7 per ton were put into] effbet," was the statement of BE. W. Beatty, president of the Canadian Pacific, when interviewed upon his arrival from the coast. He added in reply to another question that the Canadian Pacific did not = establish the experimental rate because it was satisfied that the movement could cnly be made at very heavy loss and that the comspetition of American an- thracite 'and bituminous coal would prevent the permanent use of Alberta coal in eastern points even though the latter could be used in the case of coal shortage or any other abnor- mal condition.

EFFECT WILL BE MARKED In Restoring Confidence in Canada's Business Outlook. CONVERSION OF BLOWN Has Effectively Dispelled Fear That Canadians Were Over-Burdened. Ottawa, Oct. 4. -- The marked success of the conversion loan is ox- pected to have a pronounced effect in restoring confidence in the financial, industrial and general business out- look. There is no doubt that certain® "whisperings" have not been doing the country any good, but their ef- fect, if harmful, has baen effectually dispelled. It is possible to over-estimate the importance of the Joan's success as a barometer of business conditions, for after all it is a conversiun loan and does not represent $200,000,000 of new money. But it is generally agreed that as a demcnstgstion of national confidence it is impossible to over-estimate its value. While admitting that in raising $2,000,000,000 for war purposes Canada gave a striking demonstra- tion of her financial strength, still some have thought that possibly when the time came for refunding the war loans, it might be found that | the country had taken on more than it could handle and that to a cone siderable extent recourse would have to be had to the outside money mar- ket. This fear has now been quite effectually dispelled. METHODIST LOSSES IN JAPAN $400,000 Official Message Reports 12 Churches and 10 Parson- ages Destroyed.
