The situation has become serious and the police are busy. Information has reached head- quarters that the organization in the United States, believing that there is a fruitful area for its activi- ties in the harvest flelds of Alberta, had made plans for sending some six thousand members of the I.

HISTORICAL SCENES BEING REHEARSED In Preparation for the Pageant | '° at the Kingston Fair Next Week. The armouries ig a gay place this week, for the rehearsals of the var- ious gcenes of the great Kingston historical pageant are going on there. In the afternoon, Kingston's prettiest girls and brightest school children go through all sorts of pretty, graceful national dances. Britanna, Canada and Kingston lead their trains of matrons and maids in stately march, and Boy Scouts and Girl Guides are Indians, sailors or soldiers as the case may be. In the evening, the historical scenes are rehearsed. On Monday the U. E. L. scemes were being practiced, and Capt. Michael Grass and his gallant band arrived from the land tb the south in the forests of Canada. Many of the descendants of the original U. E. L. were among the actors who gathered around the camp fire in the forest, otherwise the floor of the armouries. The second division of the U. E. L. scene is the taking of the oath of the celebrated Faculty Players whose work as actors is well known.

She was mistaken, as was disclos- ed yesterday when her bullet- torn body, and that of Carmielo Guica, her husband, who also had been shot to death, were found in the tiny two-room apartment at 133 Mott street, where they had estab- lished their home. After an all-day search by the police for Giuseppi Gandolfo, father of the bride, who had urged her not to wed, on the plea that, being ili, he required her attendance on him, it was dramatically revealed that the murdered newlyweds and the girl's parents had been reunited in death. This discovery was made at the city morgue, after the hodies of the slain couple had been taken there. The father's body, which lay on a lower tier, was identified by his son, Thomas Gandolfo. Beside it. and quite by chance, had been placed the body of the son-in-law, while that of the girl had been al- loted a space directly above. The father had not taken his o%n life as might in the circum- stances be suspected. By a strange turn of fate, he had been knocked down and fatally injured by a motor truck. He died at Beekman Street Hospital and his body was subse- quently taken to the morgue, pend- ing identification. Although the police do not de- finitely charge that Gapdolfo som. mitted the double murder, they are convinced, considering the ferocity the | with, which the deed was done, that than ardtnary BEY] 'something more red was gE it. According to the story being Investigated, the girls father, after the elopement and marriage, had been permitted to make his home with the couple. But in spite of this, his resentment did not abate, and several days ago he is said to have declared in the midst of a stormy scene that he would kill his son-in-law as well as his daugh- A BUFFALO GRAIN ELEVATOR BURNED Three Men Slide to Safety Blaze Does $1,500,000 Estimated Damage.

York Men Ordering Brown Suede Footwear, New York, Sept. 3.--The Prince of Wales again - wore the same gray check suit yesterday, giving another destructive blow to the myth of the prince's endless wardrobe.

CARDINAL OBJECTS; DANCE CANCELLED Permission "to Hold Ball Aboard French Warship at Montreal Refused.

It had been reported that spe- cial permission had been given by the church for dancing on board the warships which have been anchored in the stream.

He added that there had been no permission to hold the classed of dances that are banned.
