those present were Mr, BMrreli and other B. C. members, D. deputy fisheries ' cutti province, Mr. Cunningham, the Domin- ion fisheries officer for the province, Superintendent Found, of the fisheries department in Ottawa, and others.

J. D. Taylor made strong representa- tions that under the present regulations the cannerymen on the Eraser can bring in scow loads, of fish from the American traps when the catch ex- ceeds the capacity of the American canneries at Bellingham, and that they would then summarily turn away fish caught by Canadian fishermen, where- as Canadian fishermen may not export

their fwh-

Mr, Taylor also explained that the system of boat ratings practically giv-r. the canneries complete control of the fishing, as the licenses are all sold to the canneries and only issued by them to men who will fish for one particular cannery. The control thus established largely accounts for the change from whites to Japanese.

Hon. Mr. Hazen'a comment was that wiich regulations made men the serfs .if the tanneries.

It was agreed that the issue of li- censes for purse and drag seines will not be delayed.

The two departments— provincial and Dominion— are in conference as to what licenses shall he granted. I agreed that the farming of licenses is to be Btopped. Absolutely no license will be issued except to bona fide fishermen.

Number One Hard At the opening of the house today, Mr. Tiutilx brought up the complaint of the farmers of the" Ottawa valley that they cannot secure cars for their hay crop. Minister Cochrane said that he would be glad to submit any com- plaints to the Railway Commission.

Mr. Lemleux drew attention to the reports that a re-survey of the inter- national boundary in the west showed that a strip of about two miles wide containing two towns which hitherto has been regarded as American terri- tory, properly is a part of British Co- lumbia.

Premier Borden said he had heard nothing of the matter, but would In- quire into it.

The house spent the afternoon in committee on the grain bill, the prin- cipal item being the proposal to change "Manitoba number one hard" into "Canada number one hard."

The Manitoba members objected, Dr. Bchaffner proposing "Canada Western," and Mr. Oliver suggesting; "Prai; Hon. Mr. Rogers and other Manitoba members supported the present name. Finally the matter was adjourned.

The evening was spent in supply on Ontario public, works.

Dominion Revenue The revenue fpr January, 1912. was $ 1 0,084.035, as compared with $9,144,857 in January, 1911. This shows an In- crease of $939,161, or over ten per cent. For the ten months period the revenue has been $109,OGS,383, as against J:'!. 810.707, an Increase of $14,ir.s,27r>, or over 15 per oeul. The expenditure on consolidated fund account was $16,351.- 716 for the month and $70,655,588 in ten months. The corresponding figures for 1911 were $12,453,630 and $65,447,- 763. The capital account expenditure was $5,640,718 in January and $24. ■ 078 for the whole period, as against S8.07S.181 and |25,8T7»*78 respectively in 1911.

jo— David Spencer s Advt,

Mr. Mawthornthwalte did not get his resolution on Vancouver labor troubles before the house yesterday af- ter all. Instead, to the disappoint- ment of a crowded gallery of sympa- thizers, he announced that at the request ■' the premier he would ask that It stand over. Once more nearly the whole sitting was occupied In reading the clauses of the Forest act In com- mittee, Mr. Tlsdall taking the chair in the absence of Mr. Shatford. There was a considerable amount of rather desultory discussion between Hon. Mr. Ross and Hon. Mr. McPhilllps on the goverlnrioul wut, cuu .j.». ^.v..=i... and. Mr. ' Williams on the opposition side, over the penal clauses of the por- tion relating to forest tires. The lat- ter attacked the section placing the onus of proof on the person accused of starting a fire. The minister of lands replied that It worked out well in practice »nd intimated that It would be retained, but promised to repeal the clause giving half the fine as a reward to an informer. Thfl reading of the bill is still unflnisherr.

Mr. .Hay ward Introduced a bill re- specting employment agencies. It pro- vides that the keeper of an employ- ment agency shall be obliged to take out a license embodying certain reg- ulations. The superintendent of pro- vincial police shall have power to re- fuse such license, though appeal against his decision may be made to ■ rney-general. The lieutenant go%-ernor in council may fix the scale of fees to be charged by these Bgjontft The Initial fee for license is fixed at ?2.r>0 and *1 a year afterwards.

Mr. Shaw also introduced his amend- ment to tin: V.i.rinary act of which an analysis has already been given. It provides for stricter registration of veterinary surgeons.

Two private bills were given second reading. An act respecting the city of Victoria was moved by Mr. Thom- son, and on motion of Mr. Millar a second hill for the relief of the cit> of iVrni.- was also given second read- ing.

rrorisions for T\r* rigiiting

After introductory business had rj disposed of the house again went Into committee on the Forest act with Mr. Tisdall In the ehair. Mr. Will- iams again took exception to the pro- visions for Arc lighting. He said it , . ,,,, ,i to hi'" that tinder this act If ;i man £Q< :l permit and started a fire on Ms place, and it got itwny from him be would have to pay the whole cost of putting It put It' B tire started and he had no permit, the government wonlil have to pay half the cost, it , , ii.ti to him that the man would be better off who aid not take out a permit ai afl M least that was the position he would take.

Hon. Mr. ROSS said it was thr, old system. Tl I Stage settler was not is the member for New- castle Mos1 people were anxious to .,, old fires and took out permits.

Mr. Williams said that when regu- lations were oppressive he would take whatever means would serve his pur- ,„-■(. and he believed that that .u_ M.iiinn rtf th» Bv«rasra set-

that Premier Yttf* m^mSJ** lng consulted with the dowager empress, has e«reea to most of the modWcatlonB

Loan for Republic LONDON. Feb. 10.— The newspapers in Peking report that Wlllard Straight, acting on behalf of an American group of financiers, is concluding the details for a $5,000,000 loan to the revolutionists in Nanking, taking as .se- curity therefor the Canton-Hankow railway, says a despatch to the Dally Telegraph from Peking.

Sure of Abdication SHANGHAI, Feb. 9,-Tang Slmo Yi. the representative of Premier Yuan Shi Kai. today declared that he was con- fident that the abdication «f the throne ff(?ul«T,ha an accomplished .fact befr>r« February 18. There appears to be less confidence now than there hitherto has "been that Yuan Shi Kai will be select- ed for the presidency of the republic On the other hand the name of General H Yuen Heng, the present vice-presi- dent, is mentioned, and It is possible tiiat he may he eventually selected.

The draft of the proposed Magna Charts of the new Chinese republic has been completed by Dr. Wu Tin? Fang, the minister of Justice in the republican cabinet, and now awaits the approval •of the senate. The document provides for a provisional term of five years, but the senate probably will make his term only one year. It is thought that a com- promise may be reached on the question or the future capital of China. President Continued on rage Two.

Sentence on Vancouver Man Charged with Obstructing Police at Recent "Free Speech" Demonstration

JUDGE'S REMARKS

ARE SIGNIFICANT

V.\\vi,rVKR, B. C. Feb. 9.— "W lien the police are discharging their duty they will receive the support and pro- tection of the courts. Persons who in- torfera with them or obstruct them in the discharge of their duti™ will do so at their peril, and will place themselves in the position of committing a serious Offence, meriting a severe sentence. I Will take Into consideration the fact that the accused's misconduct occurred at one of the first of the recent disturb- ances In the city, and that he did not appreciate the nature of it. I will also take into consideration his good record or-' nimim'tM as testified to. The sen- tence will be three months' imprison- ment with hard labor."

In the county eriminn! court Judge McTnnes this afternoon pronounced sentence upon George Nlcholls, who was

found gnllty on the charge of obstruct- ing the police, after ■ torpe under Bar*

Kiant McKae. had ordered an assembl- age gathered tit the corner of Carrall and Cordova streets on the evening of January 20 to disperse.

KtchOlls declared that he had not. cried out after Sergeant McKae had commanded the crowd to disperse: "We'll put all the other speakers on the box." Several witnesses he Called said they had not heard him make this re- mark, but the police swore positively, that such words had been used by n< -

Declares i'or Reciprocity

CKtllNA. Sask.. Feb. 9.— The legisla- ture of Saskatchewan, by a vole nt 27 to 12. approved of reciprocal trade relations with the rnlted States.

The appearance on the

order paper of notice by Ceneral BOWSOT Of his Intention to amend the Provincial Liquor Act of 1910, and the announced early confer- ences with the law officer of the crown of deputations representative of the Good Government and Local Option Leagues, directs attention Insistently to the manner in which the admittedly drastic British Columbia law for the regulation and control i»r the liquor traffic is being administered. Criticism and complaints of non-enforcement are of course Inevitable, but in this con- ncetios it is inter"^*1"? and instructive to note that the great majority of such casual indictments — made as a rule on hearsay evidence — are based upon of- fences allegedly occurring within the boundaries of city or rural municipali- ties, wherein the administration of the law is vested altogether with the local

uuthriritit'S.

And although the population within such incorporated municipalities re- presents quite. 85 per cenjf. of the pro- vincia! total, it is an illuminath , that a greater number of prosecutions and convictions for offences under the act were conducted during the past year in the unorganized districts — the territory of the IB per cent, of popula- ,i,,n— under the direct jurisdiction and .supervision Of the provincial police, than in the cities and rural municipal- ities.

And not only have the police under Attorney- General Bowser's direction and control been active in suppression' and punishment of such offences under the act as Sunday or other prohibited liquor trafficking, but they have been equally energetic and insistent upon the standard of madhouse or country hotel accommodation for the traveling public fully measuring up to the re- quirements of the law— a fact that Is emphasized in the refusal of the chief license inspector to grant renewals of licenses for more than a probatlonal period of three months in a very large proportion of applications at the close of 1911.

ROME, Feb. 9. — The meeting of the inter-parliamentary peace union at Brus- sels tomorrow Is regarded here as high- ly important, owing to the decision of the Kalian group not to participate end to saver connection with the union If the meeting insists on discussing and condemning the action of the Italian government in conflict with Turkey.

The Italians wish the peace union to acknowledge that those delegates who in one way or ati'ither at the sitting of the union In October, 1911, or later, en- tered into a discussion, of. the merits of the war between Italy and Turkey ex- ceeded the object of the union.

FORT FRANCIS. Ont Keb. 9— A terri- fic explosion took place about noon to- day at the construction works of John- son and Carney's camp, on an island in K.gny lake, eight miles from here, when 13 men were killed outright and six injured. There are still some of the men unaccounted for.

The cause of the explosion was a premature discharge of one of the holes charged with dynamite. A gang of men under Foreman Thomas Casey had sunk HI holes at a uniform depth of 22 feet. One of the charges in the holes wa* not properly prepared, and It wan while tills Oharge was being taken out that it was set off, the concussion imme- diately causing the other sixty-three charges to explode.

The men were hurled Into the air with tons of rock and debris. So great was the explosion that Urge pieces of rock half the Bias of a small house were upheaved, Whll" *»« foreman, who must have been «tand!ng over one of the holes was blown Into the air for 150 feet, his body landing near the Canadian Northern railway line with both legs blown off. and terribly disfigured. The other men were badly bruised and In some rases almost every bone was broken In their bodies. ^^^^

The visit of Viscount Haldane Is largely associated In the public mind with the speech of David Lloyd George. Chancellor of the Exchequer, at the City of London Liberal Club, on Feb, 3, in which the chancellor said the moment was auspicious for a discus- sion of a reduction in armaments, which was considered as an effort lOOKlng tb the conciliation of Germany. Ai pres- ent, however, it is impossible to define the subject of the mission of Viscount Haldane.

Political activity is not confined to Berlin. Mr. Lloyd George had an audi- ence with King George today, and the King's secretary, Lord Knollys. was busy between Buckingham palace, the foreign office and the residence of Premier Asquith.

According to some newspapers, col- onial questions and the possible cession to Germany of Walfish Bay, Southwest coast of Africa, consideration.

The Daily Telegraph unaestands that Viscount Haldane will not discuss spe- cific proposals for a reduction in arma- ments, and that nothing is likely to re- sult from his visit except the creation Of an atmosphere favorable to the cul- tivation of more amicable relations be- tween Great Britain and Germany.

LONDON, Feb, 10— The morning newspapers connect Winston Spencer Churchill's speech at Glasgow with the mission of Viscount Haldane to Ger- many, and consider the address of the. first Lord of the Admiralty and the visit of the War Minister to Berlin as not a mere coincidence. The Conserva- tive papers are pleased with Mr. Churchill's patriotic tone, white tin radical organs think it was ill-advised. at such a critical moment, to flourish Great Britain's naval supremacy.

Guest of Emperor BERLIN, Feb. 9.— The German Em- peror and Empress today gave luncheon at Thn imperial nalace lr honor of Viscount Haldane, the British secretary of war. Among those invited to meet Viseoant HeAdarie were Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, the Imperial chan- cellor; Admiral Alfred von Tirpltz. min- ister of marine* and General Joslah von Heringen, minister of war. Lord Hal- dane's visit to Germany is to relieve the tension which has effected Anglo- German relations for some time past.

Nothing definite as to the nature the discussions between the statesman and his German have been made known.

All their ancient and -written formulas based on the old dates will be upset and hence their fortune telling will be worthless and if they stick to their vocation they will have to keep both old and new calendars in mind, j^g* Again the Yang Li (the Gregorian calendar) will constantly shift the date of their births and will affect their ages The latter fact, however, may not displease the Chinese girls for their HS« wil£be^4**g>*fc ^own-in some

Uor In China the custom has been that oh the day of birth, the child is con- sidered as one year old, so the girl in question would be two years old by January 1 of 1889, although she had lived no more than 12 days

__>» Boaary" — Rowland and Clifford's theatrical success, which will be seen at the Victoria theatre next wcanc»u_y, Feb. 14. tells a story of a modern Gar- den of Kden in which the serpent enters in the form of a rejected suitor, who wrecks the home and happiness of a married couple by playing upon the Jealousy of the husband. There is dif- fused throughout the drama a remark- able air of purity, faith and hope from the opening scene, which pictures |

happy couple about to celebrate l'< second marriage anniversary, and sur- rounded by all the creature comforts of modern civilization, to the last act when the twain, broken in health and fortune and wrecked by Jealousy come after two weary e/htldren at the feet of the old priest who has fathered them throughout their troubles. In the days of their prosperity they had built a chapel for their old friend the prW and in their edvewtty they come ba to the little edifice one Sunday morning Just as the chimes send their music rolling throug* the volley. The story Is interestingly told, and. with a cast comprising Harrison J. Terry us Father !v, and with scenic effects that are brilliant, the production Is worth attend- ing.

nearest ^t'M^^ff^^^- "h-* . to wnlch * Railway ha. been built. TWe

is due to ttoe completion or the Key \Ve»t railway, which la to be supple- mented by a car ferry. The Key West railway is 128 mil« lon»: of thiB *i'1" tance 76 miles are ©v«r water and tho — remaining M mU— aver Inlandfl, """>-

bering 41 in all «ost of tb*m being very small. There are places en route where the train is out of sight of land. 'T ^Jfie railway .-0DSX •*••*••• • ""•.••' ■'%■ little less than t8M0O.O0O. From Key West to Havana the distance Is *0 miles and this is tb be coWi* by a car.fen y. We commena *hese facte to those peo- ple, who. when we sneak of connections between Victoria andr the Mainland by way of car-ferries, reply by asking: What's the use •■of talking about car- ferries when you can cover tho space in a steamer?

\ year or so ago /he Colonist ven- tured the suggestion that the C.P.R. would reach Halifax from St. John by HP?mr'ttMy : ijHf^atr: car-ferry to a point napolla-ip*. TI^ suggest! eo visionary that not even the St John papers, which usually reproduce every- thing the Colooist says bearing, upon the faftii^^vW^'Jrbrt. ::'|p«^p' .If.; worth-while to rerer to iut> i*^*""j our telegrams said that the C.P.R. is arranging .to put in the-necessary fa- cilities for such a ferry. The distance tt> be covered is 45 miles.

There will come a time In the near future, when, if you wish to go to the expense, you can get in a car in Vic- toria, be ferried across to Asia, erpp, Asia and Europe and be ferried across the "silver streak" to England and then across the Atlantic and home again nexftSR tin? ConUnent. The possibilities of car-ferriage are only beginning to be understood, but v.'c do not wish io +>* thought to be suggesting' that trans* oceanic ferries will ever be in use. We mention the possibility of such ferriage only to emphasize the statement that a modern, up-to-date car- ferry is a very different thing from a. big scow towed by a tug;

could not be inquired into or passed upon by any Cuiirt; a doctrine, said Mr. Justice Miller, speaking for the majority, that •'sanctions a tyranny that has no «xlatence In the monarch- ies of Europe, nor in any other gov- ernment which has a Just claim to •regulated liberty ;md the protec- tion of personal rights.

The writer of the paper points out u,;u i! ana of the Judge" had • llls ned tn tlw famous

bag the constitutionality of

the income tax, "the Supreme Court would have sanctioned that same tyranny.' Thomas Jefferson— at least If it was not he it was another of the Fathers of the Constitution— Is quoted as suying that the only purpose of the Federal government at Washington was to conduct international affairs; but In a little over a century and a quarter, through tho interpretations put upon the Constitution, that gov- ;|i&»ent touches the most intimate rights and privileges of citizens. A

tyranny is certainly a nation on trial- A novel point, paying \* bearing upon the fntwre oi the country, is in** ***# theHJhitea States la "fe^n^bUcan.,, It is not "democraUc." Tb}s is not a mere [ pipy upon words, as might at first siglit be supposed. Perhaps we can make the distinction plain in a few sentences.

where. France and Portugal among European countries have got rid of their monarchical form of government, and China Is endeavoring to become a republic. The Central and South American countries, with the exception of Brazil, have been republics in form : dictatorships in fact for very near- ly a century. Brazil expelled its em- peror in 1883, and two years later adopted a republican constitution. The country in which republicanism was supposed to be receiving its best trial was the United States. Its constitu- tion was framed by men ot ability, and I frequently been referred to by statesmen of eminence as the greatest imple of human wltSom.

one vote of holding that the Preside,,:

The result has created a difficulty in obtaining good men This factor has led to the sug- gestion that the position of county court jttdge should be abolished and their present Jurisdiction vested In the supreme court, the Judges of the latter court being assigned to residence in the various districts. It is hardly likely that this course will be adopted, al- tnoagh it is generally believer] that some reformative action will be taken at an early date. The mattor will short- ly be taken up by the Attorney General With the Minister of Justice and as a result of representations which the former will make It seems probable that a solution of the difficulty will be reached.

SECTIONS OF ACT

■■•■. rV>. fontlnucd from fage One. , Mr. Williams next took objection to section 133, placing the burden of proof on the defendant in a fire prosc-

itlon-

«on. Mr. Ross said that It bad been in the old Bush *Hres act. and had worked out satisfactorily. They did not expect to turn out a perfect bill. but they did wish 'to put in it certain principles that would work out for the greater protection of forests in this province. ■

_.....„„.;..„.. o,.i,i iiie proposal in the .■versed the procedure ol i justice in making an accused man prove In;, own innocence.

Difficult to Convict lion. Mr. Ross replied that in cover- ing ho wide an :'.rea there was great dlf- .. ficulty in securing convictions. The . .. .rnuirnt had no wish to be tyrannl- l,ut it was in ihe interests of pul.li. safety that conviction should be secured. He had «xpec' criticism of this

section, and some talk about Russian

Mr. Brewster said that It might be difficult for the government to secure convictions, and It might be quite as difficult far an Innocent man to I bis innocence. The minister < about Russia, and it looked as if hi been rtuflyinj u up, foir this eeitafniy looked very much like Ruaaian It tion.

Hon. Mr. Rbwa notnted out thai

ii.m. Mr. Ross: "If It become* purl is statute 1 believe it will stand the test of the courts/'

Mr. Willi.'ims Sited four instances in

which he. said men in hi* otttrict had

Hon, Mr. Rbse1 said as head o< the d* partroeni h« had no Information about ihe incident tn aacatioa or be wohM be

(jlad to give it. Had Dip I'hlnainan beett ,.;,■:<.., ui,., I and found gui'ty he would

Mr. Brewster said the government en- ccuraged in+v ,n secure convictions by offerlnk an informer half the fine.

Hon. Mr. Ross said that he had asked

clauses act. At present the city had no authority tp turn its-. debenture is- sues into inscribed stock. \ By selling as inscribed stock they srould be able to realize higher iprlces for their bonds, and this bill would enable them to do 0 The second portion related to the school bylaw which might be consider- ed invalid as the board had made two levies during the one year. The pur- pose of this bill was to remove all doubt as to its validity. The next part was in connection with with the mainten- ance and upkeep, of the Ross Bay ceme- tery. Borne years ago the city alien- ated certain portions of the cemetery

. , , .dies and they

i a fund

for the maintenance of the cemetery as a whole. This would enable them to do that. The last section related to the maintenance of the public library. The library got into financial .liiflcnli i«s, and it was found that it could pot be supported on the J5.000 a year ...id for it. This bill provided - mi nar;

Mr Bums pointed out that tht-y answer would be that only one or two muni- cipalities were affected, and it would k.. unwiop to load up the general act wiib a clause for the protection of one or two.

The discussion on the sought for privileges was later taken up in streets committee and St was decided that the city engineer ahou I d prepare a plan and profile of the proposed spur track where it would run from Store street across Telegraph street and onto the property at the southwest corner o. those streets whereon it is the tion of the company to erect a cold, storage building. If it is decided to grant the privilege the company will be expected to enter into an agreement to protect the city's rhmts and obviate

- . „. ,,_i„. 1,.. »),» 1'iimranv for

rights which might arise out of the granting of the privilege.

It was some minutes later when a motion of Alderman Cuthberfs relative -to the flushing of the paved streets by the use of the salt water hydrants was being debated that the alderman again became wrathy. He strongly urged the adoption of this method, a method which is in vogue in other cities, and he cited the loss which merchants suffer through the mud being tracked into their prem- ises in winter and from the dust in dry weather. .

Alderman Gleason pointed out that the salt water hydrarits are so con- structed as to render their use for street cleaning purposes undesirable. The mains are kept full of. fresh water and to use the system would mean that each time the mains would have to be drained and filled with fresh water.

Alderman Stewart was also averse to the. hydrants either of the salt or fresh water systems being used as in case of fire there would be trouble.

Alderman Cuthbert waxed Indignant at what he claimed was neglect of the interests of the business men of the city who are forced to pay high taxes and get little consideration.

,hi«f Davis was at thl_s stage re- quested to explain. He took exception to Alderman Cuthberfs suggestion that two or three firemen could easily flush down the streets. The firemen are not street cleaners and as chief of the de- partment he would not permit any of his men to be so employed. They are employed as firemen and that is what they will continue to toe as long as he had anything to do with it.

"Then this work cannot be carried out because it takes B fireman to turn on the hydrants and the chief says the firemen are not street cleaners and therefore we must tell the business men of the city thai We cannot afford them protection' for their stocks,'- suggested Udermaa Cuthbert

-1 sal,! nothing <>f the kind" shouted the fire chief, who was on his feet In an instiiiu.

Vlderman Gleason pointed out thai the city has ordered from England a modern street cleaning machine which is expected to arrive at any lime and on his suggestion the matter was al- lowed to rest until this new apparatus arrives.

Bull, for West Vancouver, and Mr. W. E.

endure it. But in this age of speciali- sation; »L;: place • will be found; *jrO the woman physician can fill with ho to herself and great good to the world. Tn Canada Dr. Heleri MacMurclty has shown that in the field of philanthropic research a woman can do very valu- able work in preserving the health of children and In the protection of feeble minded women has gained for her more than a national reputation. In almost every city in America women doctors are now quietly pursuing one of the most beneficent of all callings. It Is, however, among the women of the Bast that the sister physicians can do most Rood. W« cannot begin to un- derstand In thi« counlry ,1,r great need for medical: treatment there is among the women of India and China. That increasing numbers of British women will fit themselves for this work tlMrf can be no doubt.

Dr. Sophia Jex-Blaie. The story of one of the earliest medi- cal practitioners in Great Britain, is interesting. A short time ago there died at "Windydene in Sussex in old lady who more than forty years ago was brave enough to face persecution that she might be admitted to her cho- sen profession. Sophia .Tex-Blake was the daughter of a landed proprietor and a sister of the late I>ean of Wells. She must have grown to be a very clever girl for at eighteen site was mathemat- ical teacher in Queen's College. Lon- don. In 1869 she and six other young ladies tried to obtain admission to the English University a* medical students and .were, or course. refused. Edin- burgh University admitted them and they were allowed to study for six months without any pravc. Interruption When, however, it was realized that the women were determined to derive full benefit from the course and obtained permission to study in the wards of

Thc'r cause was '.hamploned by SboUl two dozen of the men who. forming; a guard, accompanied them to and from college till the ex- cltemem died down. This was in Nov- rember, 1 870. The lecturers took pari of the opposing students u.,i com-

lectures. This aroused .the indignation of many women and tiie governing body of the University received a peti- tion signed hy :),ooo of then requesting that the seven stud. d to

complete their course. This nmi1- length agreed to if the young indies were satisfied with certificates of pro fielency instead of the regutgi tned leal degree. After ' lawsuit the

women had to give up the contest, mi** .i. ■x-Hiriki'. however, obtained her m d

Ernie Johnson's sight will not be per: illy affected as - » result of the accident suffered on Friday. February 2. when the puck lnflict.-»d a serious in- jury to his right eye in the Vancouver- Westminster hockey game. The special- ists in charge of his case have made a critical examination of the. optic, and promised the star hockeyist a complete recovery if he contains himself and Is content to remain In the hospital quiet- ly a few days longer. It is iiuile prob- on Saturday, fit to "engage" in* "practice arid in the game with Victoria at the Capital City on February 16. .

team to make the trip

Walter Smaiil was In form, and his checking was swift and to the point. When in front of the nets he seemed to lose the ability to score, but his de- fence work was of great value to the team. Lester Patrick played his game, though not the best he is capable of. arl£j whilc he. also, lost opportunities to score, he was a stumbling block in the way of the Vancouver line. He scored his usual goal, though.

The Vancouver Team Of the Vancouver team. Frank Pat- rick and Newsy Lalonde were the stars. Frank was at the top of bis form, and his rushes were always dan- gerous. Vie has not yet shown hatt good a game as he showed tonight, and it looks as if he were rounding into the form which made him Ills reputation. Newsy wp,s all over the Ice, and both on the defence and the attack, his work was a feature of. the evening's play. Harris showed lota of speed, and Phil- lips, a good shot and a tendency to loaf Off-side, which shool.l not be. shown by a man of his calibre. tirlfflths, with the exception »t » couple of rushes, did not show much of the form lie dls- played '•" the Vancouver -West minster game, sltbOUgrll his checking was hard and useful. Of the balance of the team they played their game, and while not good enough to win, It was (mmcnaely Interesting from the spectator's stand- point.

in the Intarvals between toe periods, Norval Baptle, the phenomenal skat"! srhc baa flollgtetad audienees the coun- n over, gave exhibitions of his skill

at fancy sfcatlni and of his speed,

WhtCh has made him the ebamplon of the world among the professional •Jtaters, Ills performance opened the eyes ot the fcUdienOa to the majority of whom, the art of speed skating and the

;m. , 1- of the f&aoy skating game,

were .|iiUe new and, altogether fascin- ing. .\ few among the crowd bad seen Baptle perform on eastern rinks in Othdr Near.-, and nil agree that he is the great**! attraction that the nian- fcgemertf could brln* to the city. He absolutely elertrlfled the crowd "itlj his "stunts' and while he was on the Ice. there was no sound to De neard ex- cept the "zip" of his skates on the lee. He will appear this afternoon, tonight una, on Monday.

The game started with a rush, Van- couver on the aggressive. The rub- bef was dashed to Victoria's end. but Just a» quickly returned to the oppos*-

min,utes the game was delayed, during which time a heated dispute went on between the players. It was quite evi- dent that at the angle from which the puck struck the corner of the net, it •wculd have been impossible for it to have entered the goal, and after the goal umpire had studied the thing out be wes sat1Hfi>d to reverse his decision. Nice Combination From the face-off in front of the Van- ver goal Lester Patrick, Braith and 1 1 nderdale went down In a combination rush, Lester .scoring the first period In 4.55 on a pass from Smith. Smalll off for three minutes for tripping Frank Patritfc, Dunderdale off for trip- ping Harris. Harris oft for tripping Lesttf Patrlolfc Dunderdale made it four tor Victoria, scoring from a scrim- mage in front of the goal. Time 7 min. 6 sec. The next goal went to Vancouver two minutes later, when "Newsy" La- londe got away with a clever bit of work, taking the puck down the wing
