'{ Lendon, May 19.--From a two- roomed cottage in the little mining village of Ann Bank, in the Sco!- tish county of Ayrshire, James Brown, the miner M.P., accompan- fed by his wife, to-day journeyed Le Edinburgh to take up his quarters in Holyrood Palace for ten days as the representative of King George at the General Assembly of the Church of ,Beotland. James Brown was recommended by Premier Ramsay MacDonald for the post of lord high commissioner to the General Assembly. In other words, he is to represent the king and receive quasi-royal honors. His wife will be addressed as Your Grace, and for attending ladles of honor she will have a duchess and a marchioness. Yesterday she was busy with her +Dousehold duties in her tiny cottage, among other things frying sausages for her husband's dinner. To one of the newspaper correspondents she sald that the black velvet dress which she was to wear for the jour- ney to Edinburgh on Monday had not yet arrived. "It 18 a nice enough dress," she said, "but if it does not turn up I « «hall just go in my ordinary clothes. All my other dresses will be waiting for me at Holyrood Palace. At the great reception on Friday night I shall wear black chiffon velvet and have a heliotrope and silver dress for afternoon and aiso one in black marocain and gray." .

Station ) There was quite a flutter of ex- citemient at the C.P.R. station late Saturday afternoon, on the arrival of the train from Ottawa, when a prisoner, who was being brought from Ottawa to serve a term in the Portsmouth penitentiary, gave the sheriff and constable, who had him in custody, the slip and made The prisoner only had his liberty but a short time, as he was rounded up and landed in the prison without any further mishap, Charles Geracl, aged 28 years, sentenced at Ottawa to two years for theft, was responsible for all the excitement. The prisoner was not handcuffed, and it appears that when Sheriff Richardson and a constable, who had him in charge, stepped off the train on to the platform, Geraci made a sudden bolt for liberty, making his way off the train on the opposite side and running along the 8 alarm was immediately raised and Sheriff Richardson and his constable gave chase to the flee- ing prisoner and did not have much difficulty in rounding him up. Geraci had reached Swift's coal shed when corralled and he did not put up any fight when the constable, who was the first to reach him, took him in charge. The officers put him into a taxi, driven by Stuart Patterson, and he was whisked off to the penitenti- ary. He made the last lap of his journey to the "pen" without hand- cuffs and shackles, and in the trip out to the prison he gave no trou- ble whatever, The prisoner gave no trouble on the train from Ot- tawa to Kingston, and when he made the bold dash for liberty, on arrival at the station, he gave the officers in charge a great surprise. \ The incident caused much excite- lifted.

BANK CHANGE Government Inspection Is Being Well Received. GOVERNMENT _ COUNSEL In the Home Bank Case to Be Heard By Commons Com- : mittee. Ottawa, May 19.--Though the bud- get debate, with the resulting divi- sion, was the most important event on Parliament Hill last week, much of importance transpired in the Home Bank and the House banking and commerce committee. Argu- ment by consel did not bring out much that was new, save the ques- tion raised by Sir Thomas White as to the right of the commissioner to review the actions. of the minister of finance, who is responsible only to parliament. While counsel for the depositors in their review of Home Bank affairs did not tell much that was new, they, through a .marshalling of events concentrated attention on the attitude of threo finance ministers towards that institution. They were all called to account rather severely. Much interest awaits the argument of the Government counsel in the case. Both Eugene Lafleur and H. J. Symington stand very high, in the estimation of the bench, the bar and the public; the former both through his appearances here on several mat- ters recently and his reported re- fusal of the chief justiceship of the Supreme Court. The proceeding in the banking and commerce committee appear "o be of even more importance this session than they were last. The col- lapse of the Home Bank and the de- velopments in the Banque Nationale have had a surprising effect. The old- time leadership in banking seems no longer to be much in evidence, and it would look as though the advo- cates of important changes in the Bank Act had as much chance of dominating the committee as any other group. re is no longer any doubt that not only in the eyes of members of parliament, but in those of banking experts. When thoso favorable tn the proposal drew from George Edwards, the Government's adviser in banking, a statement that he would recommend Government in. spection, if super-imposed on the existing system, they did much to make good their case, LIMIT CATCH OF FISH IN ONTARIO WATERS A Maximum Has Been Set For Bass, Maskinonge and Trout.

SCARLET FEVER SERUM GIVING GOOD RESULTS Experiment "With Eighteen Cases in Baltimore--Per= fected by Dr. Dochez. Baltimore, Md., May 19.--Serum for treatment of scarlet féver, which gives promises, it is said, of revolu- tioning treatment for this disease, has been used with satisfactory ro- sults in about eighteen cases at Syd- enham hospital, and further trials are in progress.

Newsy Bits From To-day's Classified SIR THOMAS WAS DECEIVED As to the Real Condition of the bo bi HE DID NOT SUSPECT The Underlying Fraud He Tells Commission in Arguing His Case. Ottawa, May 19.--"The building the minister saw; the quick sand un- derneath he did not see. It was hid- den from him by fraud. I did not '| suspect underlying fraud. No honest man could suspect such a condition of fraud as has been disclosed." Sir Thomas White, former finance minister, arguing the case in his own behalf this morning, sbefore tha Home Bank commission emphasized the fact that he was deceived as 'o the real condition of the institution. He supported this statement by quo- tations from letters received by him when finance minister. Sir Thomas insisted that if he had closed the Home Bank after receiving the let- ters thene would have been a cry to heaven against his injustice. "People would have claimed that I was in league with the big interests. I believe that {if I had closed the bank the cry would have gome out that it was he most sacriligiowvse thing done since the time of Martin Luther," he declared. As for the complaints of the west- ern directors of the bank, Sir Thom- as claimed that their attitude had shown considerable variation. In the first place they complained against certain accounts, but did not ask an investigation. Secondly 'they asked for afl outside investigation. And, finally, when the management was reorganized, Hon. T:-A. Crerar had come to Ottawa, sald that bank's condition was improved and declar- ed against an independent investiga- tion.

Speaking to a resolution calling upon the Government to restrict tha hours of sale of intoxicants in Par- llament as they are restricted else- where in the country, one delegate sald the members were able to get lHquor at any hour and that they abused their privilege. The "scenes" which oocurred in the House, he added, were largely attributable to this fact. The secretary of the league pre- sented information to the effect that the greatest disappointment to the dry reformers was among the Laborites, who had been expected to stand unitedly for temperance. Eventually the conference agreed to refer to a committee the resolution regarding the hours of sale to par- liament members.

John Milroy, member of the Dail, to his constitu- ents at Cavan Saturday. Milroy took an active part in the treaty negotiations, particularly with reference to the boundary question between Ulster and the Free Stats, "I stand," said Mr. Milroy, In his address, "where Arthur Griffith stood, and for the principles and pol- icles he advocated. Accordingly I find it impossible to continue to identify myself with what appears the attitude of the Government oa national matters incompatible with that of Griffith. If bloodshed was averted during the recent trouble in the army, not an iota of thanks was duo to the executive council." On the boundary question, MiRoy said: ""We are not deluded by the lan- guage of Colontal Secretary Thomas when he speaks about Irishmen set- tling the matter themselves. If thare is any difficulty to solve, it is a de- liberate creation of the British Gov- ernment, and we hold it to the un- undertakings given under article XII, of the Ango-Irish treaty."
