' WON THE ALASKAN DISPUTE BY BLUFF This Is How Toronto Lawyer Regards Judgment In Favor of U.S. Toronto, Feb. 16.--In an inter. view M. J. O'Brien, K.C,, severely criticizes Lord Alverstone's judg- ment coinciding with the findings of the United States representatives on the commission which settled the Alaskan boundary dispute. Mr. O'Brien, who was a partner of the late Christopher Robinson (one of the counsel for the British govern- ment) had the honor of dining with Lord Alverstone during a visit to England after Mr. Robinson's death, On that occasion he accepted an in- vitation to occupy a seat om the bench with the chief justice and the other members of the court of ap- peal. Mr. O'Brien declares that the award was a compromise and he states on the authority of Mr. Rob- inson that the American commission- ers were instructed by ex-President Roosevelt to make their finding in favor of the United States, and that Lord Alverstone's "somersault" was possibly in consequence of a threat of war made by the president of the U. 8. ' He thinks that Roosevelt's letters to Senator Loage, one of the American commissioners, which have just been published tend to confirm that conclusion. THE TRADE FUTURE 1S NOTUALLY BRIGHT 'of - Proposed r Treaty With Canada. Ottawa, Feb. 16.--'"The proposed treaty between Canada and Austra- lia is a start in the development of reciprical trade between our coun- tries," stated the Hon." Earle Page, treasurer of the Commonwealth, in an address here Saturday before the Canadian Club, "The position of your . country and mine, which ard the very anti- podes of each other, should lead, by means of actual preference, to a very considerable extension in the trade of each. An increased trade will create a beneficial circle, which will not merely improve the industries and development of each individual portion of the Mmpire, but will lead to a continually absorptive _ capacity in each part for the goods and pro- duce of the other." i In the fight for preference, Can- ada had the honor of leading the movement at its inception. Austra- lia had followed. Everyone must, however, admit that the present position whereby the exports from Australia to Canada are only one- sixteenth of her imports from Can- ada, is 'very unsatisfactory, This country's imports from Australia were only six per cemt. of her ex. ports to Australia. : "The present Canadian-Australian trade 'is capable of improvements," he declared. . "Such a small recipro- cal trade from Australia means higher freights for Canadian ex- ports to Australia and for Austra- lian exports to Canada. Our goods will be found to be the equal of any in the world," A system of reciprocal imperial preference was in the interests of the Empire. i ---------- Claim Tuberculosis London, Feb. 18.+Co re- mp- tion In two months by the use of metals salts containing 46 different metals.

Well, I would- n't wdnt to take a chance on it," Robert McCulloch, prominent Con- servative of Peel county, stated Sat- urday. "It looks like a change of front. This is not the O.T.A, we voted for.

"He is a deceiver, and as well as that he doesn't know his own mind. When I heard his promises I thought I'd wait and see, and If he lived up to them, he'd be a pretty fair man. But he didn't come through. He thinks more of the wets thah he does of the drys. The 'while the wets aren't satisfied. They want more. I guess it will mean the death of Mr. Ferguson's government. "Mr, Ferguson is not a man of his word. He made promises and now he's breaking them. I don't think much of a man who will do that." "Ferguson couldn't stand up un- der the pressure.

By Ontario Government Commit- on Lime Fertilizer. Toronto, Feb. 16.--Few members of the legislature had returned to the buildings to-day so that there might be fresh reports from *"rid- ings" as to the reception being giv- en the stronger beer proposals, How- ever, it is still felt that the house will carry the proposal in the Speech from the Throne and also the bill when it is presented. There will be few if any bolters from the Con- servatives, and several from the Liberal and Labor opposition will support the government. The atti- tude of the prohibitionist Conserva- tives will likely be that of C. R. Me- Keown (Dufferin), a dry of the drys, and former whip of the party in the legislature, who told his constitu- ents over the week-end that he pro- posed to give the legislation a fair trial as the government deems it in the interests of temperance, ald that he had confidence in the gov- ernment. -- Seek Lower Fertilizer Rate. Toronto, Feb. 16.--Dr. Jamieson and Messrs. W. D. Black and T. A. Thompson, mémbers of the 'special agricultural committee of the Ontar- io legislature, leave for Montreal to- morrow to interview officials of the Canadian National Railway. They will request a lower freight rate on lime fertilizer for farms, The com- mittee considers that farmers would be helped considerably by lower freight rates on fertilisers. ----------------------.

England's inability to accept the protocol has caused no surprise in League of Nations circles, and even the French delegates recognize the necessity of adapting it to the chang- ed political situatjon, although they are supporting it in principle. Under these circumstances, the meeting of the League council on March 9th is expected to result in ac- ceptance of the inevitable and dis- cussions will be postponed until the September assembly, Sentiment here indicates the Gen- eval protocol will then be redrafted to deal only with arbitration mat- ters, and a separate convention will be drawn up to deal with the ques- tion of disarmament.

EE ® ' * * * * * + * * ° Cave City, Ky., Feb. 16.--Pro- gress was slow on the sloping la- teral at the base of the Band Cave rescue tunnel early to-day. Every bit of rock and dirt had to be passed back from hand to hand into the main shaft and great care was ex- ercised to prevent a' serious cave-in of the soft wet clay. Slow but steady progress was reported early to-day by miners coming from the shaft. The worst of the excavation work incident to the rescue of Floyd Col- lines from his Sand Cave prison is behind, it was learned from good au- thority to-day. Progress made dur- ing the night revealed that the la- terial from the main shaft has wound around and appeared beyond the dangerous rock strata which caused numerous slides, and has reached the roof of the avenue in which the entombed man is believed to Me. Sand instead of limestone and heavy rock was encountered after midnight, and work progressed with increased speed. The . tunnel was pushed nearly six feet farther midnight. ® Collins is believed to be'held cap- tive at a depth of sixty-eight feet. La- teral which is now some fifteen feet long has reached a sixty-foot level. It is planned to tap the cave avenue through the roof and extend the la. teral into the natural passage way. This avenue may be tilled with rock oavation problems, it is believed. C. H. T.

The university understood to be willing to place the old collegiate building opposite Chalmers' church at the disposal of the students for the purpose of a residence, but the distance from the university is objected to, al- though in a larger city than King = ston such a location would be con: sidered most central.
