Meany Life Imprisonment. The four convicts, when appre- hended, will have some very serious charges to face. Their escape from the penitentiary will mean that they will face charges of .arson, due to setting fire to the stables at the prison, escaping from 'the 'peniten- tiary and also for the murderous at- tack on the Chief Keeper Matthew 'Walsh. Their recapture will mean life imprisonment for them all, "Red" Ryan, in his letter to the chief keeper, the receipt of which was first announced In the Whig, op nitely that he was the ho ck the chief keeper and he ae for doing ft, but stat- od' that the chief keeper got in his way and he had to attack him when he tried to bar his way to freedom. Its expected that it will take alt this week and part of next before the investigation at the prison Is finally completed. The prison author. ties are not giving out any informa- tion as to who the witnesses will be. One of the witnesses who gave evi- dence last week was the owner of the Chevrolet automobile, in which the convicts made their escape from the home of Mrs. H. W. Richardson, King street west. This witness had nothing to offer with the exception that he saw the five convicts coming in the direction of the Richardson home and they made off with his sutomobfle, which he later found about four miles from the city. The ®uto 'was badly damaged and the owner has asked the prison authori- ties to pay the cost of the repairs. Smm------ Automobile Story. For days there have been rumors that the convicts, afler leaving John Switt's barn at Glenburnie, were able to make their escape in an satomobile furnished by unknown persons. The Glenburnie people put no faith whatever in this report, as they state no person would take such a chance. There appears to be strong susple- fon that the five convicts must have received some assistance from per- sons inside the walls at the prison. The investigators "are not saying | much, but it is thought that before the investigation is over, this theory will 'be worked out.

Commercial Pact Guarantee. London, Oct. 16.--One phase of the British Government's preference offer 'is causing speculation among the ogerseas delegates to the Imper- jal Economic Conference. This 1s with regard to sugar and tobacco, {in both of which Canada is interest- ed. The British Government could not offer "an increased preference In ugar, but instéad proposed to stab- a On unmanufactured tobacco two alternatives were offered -- either tabilization of the existing prefer- ence or an increase in the prefer ence from one-sixth to one-fourth. How, it is asked, would the Brit- ish government be in a position to guarantee stabilization except by formal commercial agreement? It preference is continued merely by act of parliament, it is argued, a subsequent parliament, in the event of the: defeat of the Baldwin Gov- ernment, might revoke or reduce the preference. It is suggested that the situation might be met by an agreement between the British Gov- ernment and the governments of the Dominions of such a nature as would be recognized by any sue- ceeding British government. The Canadian representatives have not yet prepared any sugges- tions they may have to offer on the British proposals but it is likelr that of the two tobacco alternatives they will prefer the ome calling for an increased preference in the Bri- tish markets.
