Digest of Estimates As Revealed at Ottawa Ottawa.-- On Friday the governm ent forecast a saving o f m ore than $17,)00,000 In its appropriations lo r the i2 months beginning next April. Only tw o spending divisions-- aviailo and marine public works-- escaped jhe axe by which the governm ent pro poses to hew its total expenditures town to $343,648,273.02 as compared Mth $360,738,210.67 for the fiscal year (phJch ends on March 31. The follow ing is a brief summary of lom e o f the slashes made in various items: The Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission w ill have $1,000,000 to jpend on its w ork during the flrcal fear ending M arch 31, 1935. This is Hie same as for the current year. The tommission, w hen established, was to pperate within the amount of the fees collected by means of the $2 annual license fee charged radio owners, but the collections are all paid into the consolidated revenue and reappropri ated for the com m ission in the usual way. The license receipts are esti mated to b e w ell above the million mark for the current year. It will cost Canada $358,660 next year to maintain legations at London, W ashington, Paris and Tokio, a de crease of $4,600 from this year. The London legation w ill cost $121,160, a 'decrease o f $2,500. This includes ex penses of the office, salary for Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, plus $1,800 addi tional salary for him w hich has been voted each year since he w ent there. The W ashington legation w ill cost $92,900; Paris, $75,700, and Tokio, $68,000, a decrease o f $2100. Subventions payable by the govern ment in defraying the cost o f trans porting coal from Nova Scotia and W estern Canada to tha central pro vinces .estim a te! at $2,750,000 during the current fiscal year, w ill be reduced by $300,000 during the fiscal year 193435. The decrease is believed to be based on the anticipated im provement In general conditions w hich w ill ren der this assistance less essential. A decrease o f 50 per cent, in the ap propriation for cadet training w ill be knade this year. Last year $300,000 was voted for distribution among the cadet corps on the basis o f personnel, but this year the figure w ill be $150,ing the fiscal year ending March 31, 1935. This is due mainly to economies, it is stated, and also to a slight de crease in penitentiary population, w hich is expected to decrease further as the year advances. D ecrease o f $858,304 in the agricul ture estimates for 1934-35, from a total o f $7,368,924 the previous year, will apply chiefly to appropriations for the livestock branch, experimental farms and health of animals branch, al though none o f these services w ill be discontinuted. General econom ies will be applied throughout the department but particularly in these branches. It w ill cost $5,615,595 next year to operate the Royal Canadian Mounted P olice force, the same figure as this year. The total includes pay, clothing and allowances for the men, arms and ammunition, building and repairs to barracks, purchase of horses and dogs and all items down the line to station ery and printing. One item remains, as usual, un changed. This is for subsidies paid to the provinces-- a total of $13,686,177. The Maritimes receive an addi tional $1,600,000 as a result o f the recom m endations of the Duncan Com mission in 1926, and efforts are being made to secure a further revision to satisfy the claim o f Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island that they are entitled to more. A sub com m ittee o f the governm ent w ill in vestigate this claim. T w o items of governm ent expendi ture which have heretofore bitten deeply into the estimates have now reached the stage w T here their approp riations ar com paratively small. These are the Hudson Bay Railway and ter minal construction and the W elland Ship Canal. The appropriation for the form er is $550,000, a decrease of $417,500, and the latter $250,000, a decrease o f $1,742,000. Canada's participation in the 1,000th anniversary of Iceland's parliament, celebrated in 1930, will be commem orated in perpetuity by a foundation which w ill provide two scholarships annually for Iceland students. For this purpose the main estimates ap propriate $25,000, which will form a trust fund. Last year an appropria tion o f $1,250 was made to pay for the first tw o students to com e to Can ada under this plan, and now the fund will b e placed on a perpetual basis. Investigation of water levels in the S t Law rence River will be conducted next year, a vote o f $50,000 to cover the cost being included in the esti mates. Another vote of $3,750,000, an increase o f $1,459,650, was included to provide payment for work perform ed by contract in dredging the St. Law rence River channel between Montreal and Quebec. Another item of $1,140,000, a decrease of $336,000, was in cluded to cover the cost of dredging in this area by government-owned boats.

The first fire sw ept the farm of John Graves on Tuesday. Barns, live stock, hay and grain w ere burned. V ictor Pettman was the next victim. Barns and contents, two silos, five head o f cattle, 50 chickens and all the farming implements w ere lost. " There was no doubt they intended to take the law into their own hands and give him a thorough mauling if they could get at him," said Chief Reynolds. " The first two farm s to have flres are on either side o f Huntsley's place, and Pettm an's is across the road, and this, coupled w ith the direction of the footprints from Pett man's place, convinced the crowd that Hunsley had set the flres.

Cook, 44, form er Sarnia merchant, was found dead at the village o f Corunna, seven miles south o f this city, with a gun shot wound in his chest early to-day. It has not been ascertained whether the shooting was accidental.

"But they fell back aud seemed sat isfied when I went over. P eople do what they are told around here. I told them to get back off Hunsley's place to the road, as they bad no busi ness th.ere anyway, and I didn't want them to obliterate any tracks in the snow around the house. They walked back without trouble, and later stood by quietly when I walked through them with Hunsley.

She had been at St. John's Hospital since 1878 and was for more than fifty years its matron. During the whole of that time the hospital was never in debt. Sister Agnes as a girl entered the service of the late Miss Elizabeth Twining, who founded Twickenham Hospital. A fter training at K ing's oCllege Hospital and in the East-end, she was appointed the first matron. She showed untiring zeal in organ izing appeals, and the " Farthing Fund," which she introduced eighteen years ago, was one of the most popu lar and profitable of her schemes. Her patients adored her. She had an attractive voice, and would often go round the wards singing then to sleep. She was buried at Twickenham in the same grave as the founder of the hospital. This was Miss Tw ining's wish. A cot at the hospital is being en dowed in her name.
