THE MURDOCK CHARGES Are p = 3 Before ii ites on Wednesday Ottawa, June 2.--The king's birth- day on Tuesday will delay somewhat the committees of parliament, whose Proceedings are muck in ths lime- light theee days, in getting down to business as early as usual; but the Week, fTéveriheless, promises to see SOme interesting passages there and ifn the chambers before its close. In the House the proceedings are scheduled to open with the de- bate on the Canadian National bud- get, upon which it is understood Sir Henry Drayton has much of moment fo say. The debate may eventuate in the appointment of a special com-- mittee to probe the purchase of the Hotel Scribe in Paris, the minister of railways, Hon. George P. Graham, having already expressed his will- ingness to facilitate such an in- 'quiry. The charges against Hon. James Murdock, are to come to a head on Wednesday before the privileges and elections committee, when the witnesses summoned by E. Guss Porter, Conservative "member for 'West Hastings, who made-the char- ges are to be heard. The accusation against the minister is that in withdrawing $4,060 from the Home two days before its failure he! * had "received allvantage and ° profit to himself to the extent of such withdrawal contrary to his obliga- tions as such minister 4nd 'in de- rogation of his office and the hon- or, dignity and traditions of Parlia- ment."

Church Union BAL Church Union question is to "reath its critical stage in the pri- wate bills committee on the day fol- lowing the Murdock hearing. The committee has already disposed of most of the sections of the bill, and no vote took place except on the amendment to the preamble, whea the bill was altered to make its coming into force depend upon the result of the case in the Ontario courts. It has already been intimat- ed that the Unionists are not will {og to accept Llials amendment, but an effort is to be made to secure its elision in the House. The banking committee of the . House has already come to an agree- ment on the need of government inspection of banks, and the intro- duction of legislation of this charac- ter by tho Government has been announced. Discussion is still! pro- ceeding on the desirability of set- ting up a central bank, and of guar- anteeing certain classes of saving de- posits. Emergency legislation on farm credits this session has also been suggested in the form of fed- eral grants to provinces on the guarantee of the provincial govern- ments. This proposal, which came from Dr. H. M. Tecry, has been re- ferred to a sub-committee which is to report during the coming week. Another committee of the Com- mons, in which progress may be re- ported soon, is that which has the pedistribution bill ia hand. Sub- stantial agreement is understood to have been reached in the west, but many difficulties will remain in Ontario and Quebec. Part of the schedules of the bill may be ready this week, but it is stated that no official announcement will be made until the entire measure is com- * pleted.

Chicago, .June 2.--*'I have a | hanging case," said Robert E. Crowe, state's attorney, after he had review- ed all angles of the confession of { Nathan I. Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb, sons of millionaires, that they | had kidnapped and murdered four- | teen-year-old Jacob Franks on May | 21st, | "The state is ready to go to trial immediately," Chief Justice Caverly, {of the Criminal Court, stating that | he would urge an immediate trial, | said: "Justice should be served with- | in thirty days." Plans have been completed quick action in the courts. The in- quest, indefinitely postponed the day after the body was found, was re- | opened this morning and it was an- nounced that the case would be the | first to be submitted to the June | grand jury. « "- Mr. Crowe declared the confessions | had revealed that the students had | no intention of returning the boy to his parents if the ransom had been paid. They expected to destroy all evidences of the crime. The attitude of Leopold and Loeb when they were first arrested in- clined the state attorney and the po- lice to doubt their guilt, Both as- fted their innocence and courted fullest investigation, even to saying they did not desire freedom until they had been fully cleared, a position endorsed by their parents. Leopold's arrest had been due to tracing to his ownership 'the pair of spectacles found near the body of Robert Franks when it was discover- ed nude at a railroad culvert near a swamp. He explained the presence of the glasses there by saying he vis- ited the swamp frequently to stady the habits of birds, | | | i The Awful Crime. confessions told how the chums planned their crime as far back as last November, They in- tended the ransom money should be given to them by Mr. Franks or any detectives he might have with him from a moving Illinois Central train going south and that them they would flee with the money in the opposite direction in an automobile. No sooner was the boy in their hired car, struggling, than he was hit several times over the head with the chisel, wrapped in tape. In their confessions, each of the stu- dents charged the other with wield- ing the chisel, which was thrown out of the car a short distance from the spot and later found. A gag was thrust into Franks' mouth so tightly that if the blows had not killed him he was strangled ! to death. The thoroughfare crowded with vehicles. They threw a robe over the body and drove about the streets with it slumped in' a corner of the car until nightfall, In the darkness they disrobed the body in the car, as they drove to the culvert at 12th street and the Pennsylvania Rail- road, tracks, smeared acid on the face in the hope of destroying the features, and reaching the swamp deposited the nude body in the cul- vert. They burned the robe that had covered the body in the swamp, left Franks' shoes and belt on the prairie as they drove home, and took the boy's clothing to Loeb's house, where it was burned. Thereafter they rode about the city for a time. Again returning to Loeb's home, he telephoned to the Franks' home and gave the family the first intimation of what had happened to Robert, saying he had been kidnapped and was held for ransom, but was safe. Meantime Leopold prepared the ransom letter.

Mac- . donald, Minister of National = De- fence, intends to bring down a bill to amend the Militia Act in regard to the calling out of trodps during | strikes or other disturbances. Mr, | Macdonald' s amendments will pro- vide: "That the requisition for troops will be made by the Attorney- General of a Province upon receiv- ing notification from a judge of a Superior or County or District Court, having jurisdiction in the place con- cerned, that troops are needed. "That the requisition «hall con- tain an unconditional _ undertaking that the Provinee all ex- | out the militia.

In regard to costs incurred, the muni- cipality concerned is now liable, un- der the amendments the Province will be liable.

George's cathedral on Sunday morning and did so clearly. Hospitals, he said, were first heard of about the eleven- th or twelfth century and were in- stituted by the Christian church. They afterwards were supported by philanthropic societies. The great hospitals in England, of which the oldest is St. Bartholemew's, London, are largely endowed and further en- riched by subscriptions. The wards of the Kingston Gen- eral Hospitals are full almost always These are for the indigent patients who would otherwise have no pro- per treatment. The uses of the hes- pital are threefold, primarily to heal disease; to train nurses and, in the case of the Kingston hospital affili- ated with Queen's University, to train young men for the medical pro- fession. The K. G. H. is supported by provincial and municipal grants and by the support of the citizens. A hospital should be even more than this; it should be the centre of com- munity effort where we can do our bit to help those who cannot help th ves. Dr. Austin referred to Hamilton and London where the hospitals were largely civic institutions and the private rooms much less expen- sive in consequence.
