PEERS ONTARIO AND QUEBEC WILL BE IN ACCORD on the Ottawa River FISHER HAS DOUBTS About the Sale of Chats Falls to Quebec Concern Not In- juring Ontario. Toronto, Feb. 18--Emphatic de- clarations by Premier Ferguson that the Province of Quebec in dealing in electric power matters op the Ottawa River would do nothing to injure Ontario's rights or position, and that the two Provinces were working ami- cably for joint power development, featured yesterday's session of the Legislature, The sitting of the House yesterday provided the lull between the fiery clashes and Stiaeke on the Govern- ment on Tuesday aid what, it is be- lieved, will be a hot time today, when the Prime Minister resumes the de- bate. Though it was expected that Mr. Ferguson would speak in the debate yesterday, he stated that his address would not be made until today. Much of the afternoon was taken up with the second reading of bills, six of these being put through, with other business of a routine order. The Prime Minister's stztements on Hydro matters eame when A. Belanger (Liberal, Russell) raised the question of whether or not the sale by Quebec of its power interests at Chats' Falls to. 4 private enter- prise affected Ontario's rights, or would interfere pith he Jroposed | developmeit. - ------ May Be Inte "As I am informed," declared the Premier, "the position or rights of Ontario are not affected in any way. There has been discussion between this Government and the Province of Quebec as to interprovincial = de- velopment, and I feel sure that our friends in Quebec will not do any- thing to hinder that development." Mr. Ferguson reviewed power de- velopment on the Ottawa River and showed that at some points there were more suitable sites on the Que- bes side thaw fn Ontario, conditions depending on the water flow and the iver channel. He spoke particnlar- 1y"of one spot where, at an island in the river, a dam would increase the head of the water. But the interpro- vincial boundary line interfered with this construction and the two Pro- vinces had to consider an agreement to overcome this difficulty. Referring again to Chats Falls, he continued: "The trouble is that several years ago the Dominion Gov- ernment disposed of the Chats Falls site to a Provincial company. Later the Hydro tried to buy it, but the price set was extortionate. The Hy- dro is now trying to expropriate it, and I feel sure that some arrange- ment can be' made between the two Governments. Fisher Has Doubts, Harold Fisher (Liberal, Ottawa West), stating that he was glad to have the assurance of the Premier that the Quebec 'sale would not af- fect Ontario, declared that it was dif- ficult to see just how it would not hurt Ontario, "I feel" said he, "that the development can be carried on bptter in a joint manner." "The Quebec policy en power de- | velopment fly from the policy here," replied Mr. Ferguson .

The statement announcing the action said: "The Department of Labor has affirmed, on appeal, the excluding decision of the Ellis Island board of special ip. quiry in the case of Vera E. Cath- cart. This action is based on that part of section three of the Imml- gration Act of February 20th, 1917, known as the general immigration law, which provides in part as fol- lows: "That the following classes aliens shall be excluded from mission into the United States. . persons who" have been convicted of or admit naving committed a felony or other crime or misdemeanor in- volving moral turpitude." of ad- PAID VISIT TO OTTAWA. Earl Entertained by Officers of 88th Battalion. Ottawa, Feb. 18.--The Earl of Craven arrived here from Montreal yesterday and was met by former and present officers of the 38th Regiment, Canadian Expeditionary Force and entertaiped at luncheon at the Chatean Laurier. The 38th Regiment was raised in this district and performed a portion of its train- ing at Bermuda. The Earl after he was wounded in the Great War spent six months in Bermuda and was at- tached to the 38th Battalion. The Earl appeared greatly pleas- ed at meeting his old friends of the 38th, and told reporters so. It is ex. pected that he will return with Lady Craven to spend the week-end in the capital. He returned to Montreal last evening. The, Barl declined to be drawn in- to conversation concerning the Countess of Cathcart at present at Ellis Island, New York, further than to intimate that he wonld not reply to any allegations made by her against him. A portion of the 38th Battalion was recruited ih Kingston. The unit served with the 3rd Canadian m- vision in France. ori: She Gets No Kisses 86 Seeks a Divorce £ the Camden, Ni, Feb. Feb. 18. --A "kiss- for provisions. Phe customs officers said the craft was provisioned apparently for a {long trip. They declared they placed little credence in Sheldon's story, be- | leving he had been carrying contra- {band, probably liquor, and had un- loaded the cargo. As Kingston harbor is icebound for several miles out, one can see what a chance Mr. Sheldon would have had 'in sailing . his motorboat through a foot and a half of ice in order to land here. SNOW SLIDE' TAKES HEAVY TOLL OF LIFE Twenty-six Bodies Recovered --Between Sixty and Sev~ enty Were Buried. Salt Lake City, Utah, Feb. 18.-- Twenty-six bodies had been taken at noon from the ruins of several build- ings, 'including the Methodist Church, which were buried under a snow slide in Sap Guich, in the Highland Doy mining district near Bingham, 18 miles southwest of here yesterday morning. : Estimates of those entombed in the avalanche of snow! rock and brush that slid down the mountain. side, range betwesn sixty and sev. enty. Little hope Is held out for their rescue alive. Fire burning in the buildings which were crushed under hundreds of tons of debris, imperilled those who may have escaped Instant death when their homes were crush- ed. No attempt has been made to identify the dead. As fast as a body is dug from the rocks and snow, {it is placed on a small hand sled and taken to the morgue in Bingham proper, several miles down the narrow canyon, which is completely closed at the scene of the slide. Rescue parties are working from each mide of the slide. Dempsey-Wills Battle Off. Los Angeles, Calif.,, Feb. 18.

SPEAKS. THREE HOURS And Says That This Is Merely a Preliminary Canter---Pré- dicts Lang 1 Debate. Ottawa, Feb. 18. 18.--Precluded by the Bird a dment from present. ing his motion of want of contidence in the King Government, C. HH, Cahan, X.C., Montreal Conservative, launched 'in * Parliament yesterday what was generally accepted as A further talk blockade against the pending Jecess of the Commons. After speaking from § until 8 o'clock; the adjournment hour, Mp. Cahan casually observed that the afternoon's contribution might be regarded as the prelude to his main speech, to be given to-day. "This is going to be a long de bate," he stated on another occas sion, in what was Tegarded as omi= fous warning. 7 Mr. Cahan read the 'whole of Pres mier King's Edmonton speech into Hansard, and, when asked, in sare casm, why he did mot read Mr, | King's Toronto speech also, afiably agreed to bring that oration along and read it to to-day's siting the House. On no fewer than four oceas! Solicitor-General Lucien Canpo tempted, on a point 61 order, to vent Mr. Calian continuing his tensive readings. But Mr. Speak: ruling was that the moving of previous question threw th debate b | aar such a debate Government p was open to discussion, ine such enunciations thereon as have been made by the Prime ister during the election. Encounters Storm. Mr. Cahan encountered a 8 right at the outset of his aftern : oratorical voyage. He started © to say that in 1919 Liberals now the Government benches had di nounced 'as "shameful" a motion for consideration of "the previous que tion." So he concluded that the Liberals had enlisted the co-operas tion of Mr. Bird to put a motion which they had already denounced Tumultuous applause from the Con servatives greeted the thrust. Mr. Bird was on his feet in an in stant, and waited for the echoes the' desk-thumping to dle 'away, Loud derisive laughter from Cons servatives greeted his declaration? "I repudiate the suggestion that there was any co-operation between the Government and myself." Liberal members -- Withdraw withdraw. Mr. Cahan--I accept his si ment so far ag it goes, but I he before this debate has proceeded. far honorable gentlemen on ¢ other side will arise and declare that they have not, directly or directly, procured the moving of motion that they themselves were gfrald and ashamed to move.
