Berlin, Oct. 19.--It was reported here to-day that the dispute hetween the federal government and the gov- ernment of Saxony will be solved by the former displacing General commander of the Saxony, whose mode of procedure is' said to have been too harsh. This action, reports add, will be accompanied by a rebuke to the Saxon government for its inter- ference in the politics of the repub- lic.

Ottawa, Oct. 19.--The measure of prohibition that exists in Canada synchronizes, seemingly, with an en- ormous increase in the number of ilHeit stills throughout the country, according to statutes of the Customs and Excise Department. Before the war the total selzures and prosecutions for a year in the whole country ranged between fif- teen and twenty. At the present {ime the yearly average is three thous- and. While a small army of preven- tive officers is employed, it is the official idea that only about twenty per cent. of those in the moonshin- ing industry are rounded up. A cur- fous thing is that, while Quebec 1s wet, over five hundred stills or sim- ilar outfits were geized last year. On the other hand, British Columbia. though also wet, had only sixty. Figures of seizures and prosecu: tions for a ten months period have been compiled, and these show the following figures by provinces. i Ontario, 717; Quebec, 428; Sas- katchewan, 380; Manitoba, 242; Al- berta, 257; British Columbia, 59; New Brunswick, 90; Prince Edward Island, 37; Nova Scotia, 103. The present average is 250 a month, June exceeded all records with over three hundred cases. t iurt J . Fy "replace Minister. Har- RIDDELL CASE min. Decision.

HON. 'W. EN. SINCLAR Mrs. Carpenter, R. L. Brack- en And Hon. Nelson Par- liament Give Addresses. Napanee, Oct. 18.--A rousing meeting was held in the armouries last night in the interests of the Li- beral candidate, Carlton Woods. A large and enthusiastic audience filled the auditorium. Prospects at present look good for the election of the Liberal standard-bearer at the polls on Monday, the 22nd in- stant. The principal speakers were Hon. W. E. N. Sinclair, leader of the Lib- eral party for the Province of On- tario; Hon. Nelson Parliament, Mrs. Carpenter, president of Ladies' Lib- eral Association of Ontario; R. L. Bracker, M.P.P., for West Kent. Carlton Woods, the candidate. made a brief but telling speech giv- ing good reasons why he considered the electors should cast their votes for him on Monday next. Hon. W. E. N. Sinclair gave a capital address in which he paid a tribute to the memory of the late Dr. J. P. Vrooman, whose death was the cause of this by-election. He said the finest memecrial the people of Lennox could erect to the lat: Dr. Vrooman would be a great ma- jority of votes for Monday, the 22nd, to Carlton Woods as successor wor- thy to occupy his seat in the legis- lature. The e¢peaker discussed in a logical mannér many measures of vital interest to the people of this province. -- Appeal to the Women Mrs. Carpenter's address seemed to appeal to all who heard her, and particularly to the large number of women present. She said that one thing the women would insist on and 'that was the election of the Mighadt type of men to represent Js In pa Hament. She told her hearers that Carlton Woods should have their confidence and their votes on elge- | tion day. R. L. Bracken, M.P.P., for West Kent, said he had come a long way to speak to the electors of the County of Lennox and was glad to be able to speak to so many of them %s were assembled in the armouries. He is a magnetic, forceful speaker, and impresses one that he is quite sure that he knows what he is talk- ing about.. His address scintillated with gems of energetic principle, sarcasm, wit and humor and he held the attention of his hearers through- out his address. -- The Booze Question. In speaking of the O. T. A, he referred to the pre-election promis- es of members of the present gov- ernment to restore to the people the right to use 'booze.' Said the speak- er, "I hope to live to see the day when the Conservative government starts to give the booze back--and the people won't get it."" He told a Httle story of a colored preacher in his constituency who was preaching about Daniel being thrown into a fiery furnace,when one of bis congre- gation said, "Brother, Daniel was not thrown into a flery furnace, but into a den of Hons." "Huh!" said the preacher, "you miss tha point all together--it don't matter what Daniel was thrown into. The point is that Daniel was in a hell of a fix." That, said Mr. Bracken, will be the case with the government when they begin to tamper with the 0. T. A. He said he did not know aither of the candidates in this by-alection, but advised the voters to think care- fully over the qualification of each and choose the man that they con- sidered the most fitted to bo their re- presentative at Toronto. If they did this, he felt sure from all he could Carlton Woods would re- "God Save the King" was sung at the conclusion of a very successful Banting's New. Treatment.

Paris, Oct. 19.--The French gov- ernment is beginning the vast un- dertaking of exhuming its scatterea war dead and concentrating the bod- fes in national cemeteries after the American plan. It is a far greater task than the one the American Graves Registration mission has completed. In some sectors, such as the Argonne and around the Saint Mihiel A salient, a great many were brought together in military ceme- teries, but 'elsewhere, along the whole battle front, from the Swiss frontier to the North Sea, bodies of soldiers that were killed in the trenches were buried where they fell. Scattered German, K dead are also being gathered into large cemeter- ies by the French, under an agree. ment with the German government. The German cemeteries that existed at the end of the war are all being cared for by the French authorities who issue special permits to German families to visit Phgeaeg ves of thelr dead in France. TO URGE THE PEOPLE TO OBEY "DRY" LAW U.S. President to Treat En- forcement From Common Sense Viewpoint. Washington, Oct. 19.--President Coolidge, when he meets the gov- ernors of the states in comference on Saturday, is going to make an earnest appeal for enforcement of the prohibition act. The president is not unduly" con- cerned about the proposal made by the citizens' conference here this week that enforcement of the law must be laid at the door of the White House, Governor Pinchot's in- sistence that the president must en- force the law does not worry him either from a governmental or politi- cal standpoint. It is the president's view that the Volstead act must be comcurrentiy enforced by agencies of the federal and the state governments. All but three of the states subscribed to the constitutional amendment and en- forcement of the law is a concur- rent business. 'GASOLINE PRICES. CLT IN UMTED STATES Practically Every OH Company In East Announces * Reduction. New York, Oct. 19.--Forced into action by over-production of crude cil and gasoline, practically every o¥ company in the east followed the lead of the Gulf Oil Corpora- tion in cutting gasoline prices. Re- ductions of two and three cents a Eallon were announced, bringing the wholesale price in New York to 16% cents a gallon and 15% cents in Boston. Further reductions are tald to be certain if the new low prices do not stabilize the market, despite the fact that present levels are the lowest in eight years. The Texas Company, Standard Of! of New Jersey, Standard Oil of New York, Atlantic Refining Com- pany, Standard Oil of Kentucky and Sun Oil Company are the corpora- tions to follow the Gulf Oil's lead. On Sept. 1st last, gasoirne in stor- age totalled 1,063,000,000 gallons or 50 per cent. more than stocks on the same date in 1922. Further- more, with gasoline production run- ning at record rate and with a sea- sonal decline in consumption under- way, it is expected that refiners, will have to store an average of at lems: 100,000,000 gallons monthly, bring- ing 'stocks to approximately 1,750,- 000,000 gallons by next May. Harvesters Get Placed. Ottawa, Oct. 19.--The announce- ment by Hon. J. A. Robb that about 8,000 openings for winter employ- ment have already been found for British harvesters, is evidence that the great majority of these men can get work in Canada throughout the winter, if they are prepared to take ordinary chances.: Ag it is believed that 12,000 harvesters came from the British Isles, it will thus be 'seen that jobs have been secured for two-thirds of them, to say noth- ing of others who hsve secured employment through théir own ef- fonts.

Henry, minister of highways for Ontario, addressed the i Club in the Frontenac Ho- tel on Thursday on the government's highway policy. He had attended the opening of the Collin's Bay div- ersion during the afternoon, and there were several C.N.R. officials also as guests of the club. Several of the members of the Frontenae County council attended to hear what the new minister had to say about roads, A. M. Rankin, M.P.P., and members of the Kingston Auto- mobile Association were present. Mr. Henry was introduced by J. M. Farrell, K.C., who presided in the ab- sence of T. J.

He was in- formed by Mr. Rankin that the C. N.R. paid fifteen per cent. of the cost, the railway board paid twenty- five per cent., and the provincial go- vernment sixty per cent. He won- dered what percentage Frontenac county was paying, or the city of Kingston, for that matter. "Where does the responsibility of Frontenac county come in?" said he. Word to Auto-Dnivers, Referring to highway improve- ment, the speaker informed" his audience that no person could leg- ally drive an automobile from King- ston to Toronto in five and one-half hours oh the highway. "The laws regarding speed limits have not been changed. The new legislation will not come into operation until next year. 4 would remind you that the law puts a man in jail' who is apprehended, but the man Who rins Away will not escape. © He will ulso be put into jail. We are driving at an oxcesslve rate of speed today, und we will have to slow up as a people, gemerally, or we will get into difficulty. The speed of motors is only indteative of the speed we are going at in a general sense." * "1 sald to my son, 'I hope it snows ten feet deep this winter so that your car cannot run and we can once more get back to sane habits of lving." It is in a general way that we are needing something elong that line. We need a cut in a good many lines of expenditure. I think the people said so last June. it is my important duty to improve highways and cut, down expenditure. and, consequently, it will not be as large this year as in the past few years. . But improvements are not going to stop still, and no govern- ment would attempt to cut down or retard development. There is noth ing in the mind of anybody to stop highway improvement. Review of Highways. "lI want to be fair to the late government. At the end of this year we will have comple a sys- tem in this province taking care of all trafMe demands in congested can- tres. It will not be long until you have macadam roads from Kingston to the Province of Quebec. From Oshawa to this city there will be. either a cement or asphai pavement, There are two highways from To ronto to Hamliton of asphalt and concrete, thence to Niagara Falls, west to Paris, Ingersoll, London and St. Thomas; and high type roads leading out of Windsor. These will enable anyone to drive at any time . of the year." (Continued on page 7.) Not Ready for Waterway Says Hon Hon. J. H. King the Government of Canada or tke Ottawa, Oct.
