PUBLISHED EVERY EVENING.GISBORNE, WEDNESDAY, SEPT,17 1919.FEDERATION OF THE EMPIRE.

j As the result of the. war vand. thePeace Conference deliberations ; tHewbrld has obtained a new concept-ion pfthe British Empire. When the repre-sentatives of the Dominions wei'e sum-moned to,London last November theytook a.Vtrong'stand on {heir status asself-governing nations within., the.^Bri-tannic .Commonwealth. On this they re>;ceived strong support from the ImperialPrime Minister and his,colleagues. The'status was acknowledged at the Confei'-;ence as it b.ad been upon the battle-'field. It now remains for.'these-''self-governing nations to be brought to-gether into a confederation which willgiv.

to scope,to their individuality and.at-

the same time preserve the bonds"Imperial unity. Mr. Lloyd^ George aftid.his Government are understood to have,m preparation- a plan for the reorgan-isation of the Empire, designed to con-vert its component countries into onfegigantic nation covering biie-third ofthe globe and to supplant the presentloose coalition with a federal Govern-ment. The war- proved that the BritishEmpire was more powerful actuallythan m name. However, several timessince 1914 there has been realisation ofthe need of a closer alliance for mili-tary reasons and m order to meet tradecompetition more successfully m.. thecoming international commercial strug-gle. The Government, according to1aLondon correspondent, is expected tointroduce its Bill this month, incidentalwith this announcement of,the' futurenational trade policy.

'The 'project in-cludes amongst its supporters s6me of

the most influential men.m Britain, Itis certain, however, to \tavt a greatpolitical battle, particularly on the sub-ject of Imperial preference. Mr. As-quith, with the support of the tradesunions, has already started a campaignoh the old freetrade lines. The scheme,however, deals with much wic[er .issues."Che Imperial body, it is proposeiJj shallconsist-Vof a' single assembly with a,Ministry responsible to it and a mem-bership of 140 representatives 'of " the

United Kingdom, Cauada, 'Newfound-land, Australia, New Zealand and SouthAfrica m proportion of their' ivhih'population, say one member for every500,000 people. The duties of the Im-perialParliament would be :-First,' tosettle disputes between the Dbmmione:second, to make all treaties with 'otîi?Powers: third, to-have the sole right

SUPREME COURT.The third quarterly session of the

Supreme Court m Gisborne was openedthis morning by his Honor Mr. JusticeChapman. The calendar comprisedseven criminal cases, six divorce, sixcivil, four applications for dischargefrom bankruptcy, and one chambermatter.

GRAND JURY.The following grand jury was em-

panelled: Messrs T. A. Col'eman (forc->man), M. L. Foster. 3. H. Burr, G. T.!Boulton, F. H. Forge, G. E. Ashton,W. H. BusweU, D. J. Parker, "GeorgeSmith, T. Corson, A. L. Muir, G. T.Bull, C. G.

HIS HONORIS ADDRESS.In. addressing the jury his Honor

stated that he did not think they wouldhave very- much difficulty m formingtheir decisions, and they would not bevery long detained mso doing. The'cases wem not numerous, and the evid-ence m the individual cases was notgreat. Unfortunately one of them wasan exceptionallybad type, and of whichthere had been similar cases m .otherparts of the Dominion, that was one ofalleged carnal knowledge on a veryyoung child. He (the accused) offered,apparently, to take her for a ride m. atrap and committed this offence. Thisoccurred some two months before hisarrest, and the question before the jurywas whether there was sufficient evid-ence of identification for a prima faciecase. The girl

'herself said she has no

doubt about the identity. There werealso other circumstances m the direc-tion of identification. Another casewas to be decided, the circumstancesbeing similar; The question of identi-fication would come dnto this case also.'The mode of assault was similarm bothcases. It was for the grand jury tosay whether there was a prima faciecase made out for trial. There wasalso a case against two men for stealinga large quantity of sacks. He thoughtno difficulty would be experiencedby thejury m connection with that. A caseagainst a man for breaking and enter-ing a chemist's shop was also to be de-cided. The evidence-inthatrevealedthefact thatthebottlesstolen were similartothose he had intimated he required onthe day previous, and the marks offinger prints on tlio bottles would beused as evidence of identification.,Theother case was the alleged theft of a'gig and the failure to pay for it. Theaccused man's disappearance and en-deavor to conceal himself must be con-sidered by the Grand Jury' whenforming their decision as to whethera prima facie case had been made out.

The following' \common jurors ■ weresworn m:Messrs J. H. Harris. J. M.Scaly, S.B. Jago, H. Button, J. Mead.W. Forest, a. Smale. P. O. Geeves,H. H. Lockie, G. Ormond, J. M. Mar:shall. J. Morgan, P. F.

~ ,John Downes failed to answer to his

name. His Honor refrained from deal-ing with the case to see if an explana-tion was forthcoming.

TRUE BILLS.The Grand Jury returned the follow,

ing true bills:— Edward ;CDonoghueand' Jolih Patrick McCarthy, theft of149 sacks;Colin. Duff, breaking andentering a chemist's shop.

THEFT.Edwavd /O'Donoghue and John Pat-

rick McCarthy pleaded guilty tocharges that at Gisborne onSeptember6, 1919, they did break and enter thewarehouse of the Gisborne 'Sheepfar-raers' Frozen Meat Co., Ltd., and stealtherefrom about 149 sacks, the propertyof the said firm» Edward O'Donoghuealso pleaded guilty that on. September9 hp did receive and have 96 sacks, theproperty of the Sheepfarmers' Co., Ltd.,and at the -same time knowing them tohave been dishonestly obtained.

Mr. H. Bright appeared on behalf ofO'Donoghue, and said accusedhad beenm the Dominion for 12 years, and.nineyears m this district. He had%alwayshad an honest reputation and -latterlyhad taken to drink, for which he wason one occasion convicted. On. thisoccassion his recollection was only ahazy one. He was a married man'withfive children, ranging from five years tothree months of age. Counsel produceda testimonial from.■■Rev. Father Lane,and said he understood' the probationOfficer's report was favorable foy theextension of the Probation Act.

His Honor:Where has he been work-ing? '-'"■ . i . .

Counsel:\He was for four years onNêlson Bros.' premises, but" latterlyHad done general laboring work.Mr Coleman appeared; on behalf ofMcCarthy, and said that like O'Donog-hue,his client had been a re'sid«nt herefor a number, of years. He was a mal'-ried man with five children, whose a#esrniiged from 11 years to 10 months.Beyjbnd her husba/nd's earnings the ■nnifehadmo means whatever. In prisoner'sstatement to the detective he attri-bitted his act to dinnk. He could notask for the extension of the provisionsof "'

the Probationary Act. McCarthywas employed on the Swan fishinglaunch, and $ie captain, was prepared tooffer him ;regular employment. /

His Honor: An ablei-bodie-d man likehim could easily secure permanent work.

Mr Colemanr.Thecrime was not com-mitted1 because he was m indigent cir-cumstances. In fact Captain Harper,;ofthe vessel, was prepared to enter intoa bond for 12 months forprisoner's goodbehavior. \

His Honor:What is known of theaccused?

Mr F. W) Nolan said1 the police reportshowed that both were hard-workingmen, but were addicted to drink. Aslong as they kept from liquor they con-ducted themselves properly; O'Donoghtiehad no previous convictions' beyond onefor drunkenness. McCarthy was ad-mitted to 12 months' probation fortheft.

Hig Honor said he would pass sen-tence to-morrow, and ordered that bothaccused be detained meantime.

BREAKING AND ENTERING.Colin Duff, for whom Mr. L. T. Bur-

uard appeared,pleaded not guilty to ncharge of on July 21 at Tokomaru Baybreaking and gntering the shop' of Rus-sell and Blomfield and stealing there-from a bottleof cantharides and a bottloof Molenda wine.

The following jury were empanelled:Messrs H. H. Lockie (foreman), W.Forrest, W. Keer, G. R. McKenzie. W.Tumbull, J. F. Aylward, G. 01-mond.A. Sutton. H. Edwards, S. B. Jago, J.Morgan, and R. A. Stevenson.

Hillyer Russell, chemist's assistantsaid accused came into his shon at Toko-maru Bay on July 20, and said he hadbeen drinking and wanted something, for,a "pick-me-up." He wanted spirits ofwine or anything m the. way of alcohol.There was every indication that he hadbeen drinking. Witness told accused;hehad no spirits of alcohol, but. accusedpointed out the bottle on the shelf.Witness turned the labelround, so thatit could not be seen, and tried to con-vince him he was mistaken1. Witnessgave him a botleof wine for sb, the fullprice being 7s 6d. About 9 a.m. nextday he went down to the shop m conse-quence of what he heard. The sideplate window of the shop was .broken,and there; was a hole largo enough fora man to go through. Witness i at-tempted to go through it, arid someonenear by warned him that he might cuthimself. The empty bottle^ which con-tained tincture of cantharides, was onthe window sill by the broken floss. Onentering the shop by the door ho foundthe bottles of Molendo wine jand can-tharides missing. Ho also found a rock[which had evidentlybeenused*to breakthe window. There were blriod-stainsop the bottles and the rock. The rockwas about twice the «ize of his fist.Tincture

'of. cantharidles contained 90

per cent, of alcohol and resembled alco-hol m smell. The shop was run tinderthe name of Russell and Blomfield. Heidentified the bottle produced with thebloqd marks on it.

Constable W. J. Sleeth. stationed atTokomaru Bay, said that m consequenceof information received lie went to theshop m question and found the smallerof the two front plate glass windowsbroken. Theie was a bole m the win-rlow sufficient to admit a small man ofprisoner's size. Witness made,an exam-ination, of the shop m company withthe previous witness, and found blood*,stains on the broken glass window, onthe floor, and on the stone shown himby Mr Russell. There -were blood markson the shelves. The bottle produced wasthe cvne handed to him by Mr. Russell.In consequence of the examination hewas looking for prisoner, and arrestedhim on the 23rd about11 a.m. near thehotel at Tokomaru Bay. He was then jm. a state of helpless drunkenness. Whenaccused was arrested his hands were m!his trousers pockets. Witness examinedthe hands, and found a cut on the'firstfinger of the right hand, which was stillbleeding. Witness asked him how hodid it, .and he replied that he did notknow._ His clothes were torn m places.Witness charged him with drunkenness,and with breaking and entering thechemist's shop. Accused replied thathe knew nothing about it, and ho main-tained the statement. While m the cell.saooused developed delirium tvemens onthe Tuesday night. For fully 10 dayswitness had noticed accused about TolauaBay, but did not see him drunk. OnSunday, the 20th,, accused was showingthe,effects of liquor, althoughnotdrunk.Witness took accused's finger-printsof both hands after his arrest. Thesewere forwarded to the finger-print de-partment by post. The bott'.e handedto him by Mr. Russell was sent by re-gistered post. The bottle bore, manyfinger-print impressions m dried blooljl.

Senior-Sergeant E. W. Dinnie, of theCriminal Registration Branch, Welling-ton; deposed that on August 6 last hereceived the finger-print chart preparedby Constable Sleeth, and two days laterlie received by registered post the emptycanthnrides bottle-. Witness found bloodfinger-marks practically all over thebody of the bottle. Some of the, marksshowed the characteristics of the ridgesof the fingers. Some were merelysmudges. He picked out the clearest,marks, and compared them with thoseof accused. There was one mark clearerthan the rost, which he found identicalwith the right thumb print of accused.There were other finger prints on thebottles which were identical with; thoseof accused. Witness photographed theclearest print on the bottle, and pro-duced an enlarged photograph of jtheprint on the bottle,alsoone of -therightthumb print. On examination of thephotographs he was perfectly satisfiedthat1the print on the bottle was iden-tical with that

'of accused's print. He.

(witness) had marked 10 points of re-semblan.c© m the print, where 4 or 5points of similarity would be sufficientproof: There were other marks on thebottle' which contained points identicalwith those of Duff's fingers. To- Mr.Burnard: Witness was satisfied as tothe identity of the 2 prints before hephotographed them. . , ■',■'■■

At \this stage the Court adjourneduntil 2 p.m.

' '

On resuming at 2 p.m. Mr. Burnard,intimated that he did not propose tocall evidence.'■ The jury retired at 2.30 p.m.

"It is i>a6sing strange that the WatchTower Notes m. the Theosophist, rebut-ting an accusation made, in 1 Chicago,U.S.A., m a widely circulated news-paper,,thatIwas in' league with Ger-many were torn out by the Censor, sothat foreign readers who might haveseen the accusation, had no opportunityof reading the denial and proofs tlu're-of. In England Major Graham -Pole,acting under a power of attorney whichgave him full discretion m this nuttor,has iinstituted several suits againstpapers publishing similar vile libels,and already one, the Pall*Mall Gazette,has published a complete retraction ;indfull apology. Such, unclean weaponshave been used by the enemies of lib-erty m all ageSj and we have no right,to complain of sharing the fate of ourpredecessors; our final triumph is assure as has all along been the fin.-il tri-umph of the Allies, for we are fightingfor the same cause, and, m the end.however sharp the struggle, truthalone conquers, not falsehood. Thosewho use falsehood and injustice, theweapon of the dork forces, must sharem their defeat, for 'God is 'a God ofJustice, and "by Him actions aro weigh-ed."

miles north of Gore Bay, the spot beingmarked by clouds of black smoke. Thefire is still raging, although the sh nlooks a mere skeleton of iron.j The only survivor, the cook, WilliamH. Farrand, stated that the explosionoccurred at 3 a.m., and blew out partof the front hatch. Immediately after-wards an attempt iwas made to launchthe ahip's lifeboat, but it was swampedand capsized immediately it reached thewater. All the members of the crewwere thrown hi'to the water, and withthe exception of the cook were drowned.He was waved by hanging on to the» life-boat until he was washed up oir thebeach about four miles from the sceneof the explosion. He was much ex-hausted when he reached the beach.

Farrand added that after the boat cap-sized some of the men clung to it, butgradually dropped off. CaptaJn Cowanwas almost into the breakers before hebecame exhausted and let go.

Three bodies have been washed ashorenorth of Gore Bay, and two m GoreBay.

The bodies will have to be broughtover very broken country.

C. Williams, one of the Tainui'a sea-men who lost his life, was an ex-navalman who took part m the Zeebrugge^ andOstend raids.

A fuller statement by the survivor,Farrand, shows that he was awakenedat 2.30 a.m. by the sound of the explo-sion. Hevgot out of his bunk and wentforward to see- what had happened. Hefound all the forward hatches thrownoff and the whole of the forward partof the vessel on fire. He awakened allhands. The lifeboat (was then launch-ed, and ail the members of the crew,with the exception of the mate, Stevens,and Farrand himself, got into the bocit!There was a very,heavy sea, and thelifeboat drifted away from the vesselbefore Stevens ,and Fan-arid, could getinto it. A moment or two later thelifeboat was swamped, and all the occiu.pants were, thrown into the water* \

Farrand dived from the vessel, and acouple of moments Jater vras followedby Stevens. Those who had got intothe lifeboat were hangingoh to the cap-sized boat. : ,The lifeboat was turningover and over m the heavy .seas, andthe first man to let go and awaywas the engineer. He soon expired.'Seaman Williams struck out from the

and called out to the others:"Come on, follow me." The captainimmediately followed Williams, and thenthe -others struck out from the lifeboatFarrand and Stevens held on to the life'-bjat"

"In my opinion New Zealand haslacked a methodical system of advertisring its touring attractions for 25 years,"declared Sir Joseph .Ward, during thediscussion on, the Tourist Department'sreport.

OVERWORKED MINISTERS.A newspaper paragraph of % sympa-

thetic nature about the overworking ofMinisters through' the attentions of de-putations was brought before the Pre-mier's notice by Di\ Newman, whoasked how long the session was likelyto last. He assumed the general elec-tions would have to take place beforethe second weekm December. Allowingthree,.weeks for the campaign it onlygave free weeks for Parliament's work.

Mt. Massey replied ,that he agreedwith the paragfajih, but hundreds ofpeople came to Wellington! on Parlia-mentary business,; and had to be seen.Members nad asked 112 questions toMinisters m one week. The Governmenthad no complaint about the amount ofwork done by the House, and;theywouldask it to sit on Mondays;shortly.If members kept m the; same -workingmood they could show a very creditableworking ;record m, the next five or.sixweeks. ■"'■■ '".■.-". ■ ■ .v :-. ■■■'■:<

LAST NIGHT'S TELEGRAMS..r ■ (PerPress Association.)

AUCKLAND, last night.The dispute^ m the allied iron trade-

has reached-a head, three of the unious|concerned, the-Amalgamated Society oxEngineers, the Auckland Iron and BrassMoulders, arid the Auckland Boiler-makers, Iron- and Shipworkers havingdecided not tip work overtime until avemployers agree to paya boirus for over-time. . v

At a meeting of the Stoke Fruitgrow-ers' Association, the position of the ex-port trade was discussed; and a resolu-tion was adopteddeclaring .thatm viewof the indications of aheavy crop of. applesm the coming sea-son it is essential that ample provisionshould be made for export to SouthAmerican,and the Home markets on thelines: of the Industries' Committee re-)commendations, failure m this directionmeaning a serious loss, to rorchardists,who for four years have labored nndefthe disadvantage of no export/

WELLINGTON, last night.A radio message received from the

troopship Tainui states that the healthof all aboard4s- good.

The death opcurred to-day .of Mr.James Macintosh,"one of the directorsof Wright, Stephenson and Co,, andchairman, of directors of the Welling-ton Publishing Co. Mr. Macintosh re-turned last week from Sydney, whej-ehe had gone for medical advice.

Speaking m the 'House last'night tHe'■Premier,said'that the last paragraph' ofthe Budget went to the Governmentprinter iorday,.,and ib should' be reaaym a faw days. Inreply to Sir JosepliWard, Mr. Massey said that he' wouldconsider the question of telegraphingthe Budget to the different centres- In-stead of waiting for the mails, whichwere delayed by the railway cut.

The delegat-es of the Sheepowners1Federation last night conferred withdelegates- to the conference of the NewZealand Farmers' Union regarding theappointment of repi'esentatives of pro-dqcers and others interested

' to form apropoaedcommission) to proceed to Eng-land m connection' with the frozenmeat export business "and the provisionof shipping necessary to relieve the con-gestion at the. freezing works. Severalspeakers opposed the sending of thecommission, arguing that it could notdo more than Mr.- Massey 'and SirJoseph Ward had done. After a longdiscussion Sir James Wilson said thatit Mas evident that no agreement couldbe reached that night and>on his- sug-gestion: the conference adjourned< untilWednesday. ' .

DUNEDIN, this day...The Maheno, which was to have sail-

ed for Sydney,- is still held up at. PortChalmers. The delay«s understood tobe due to the .action of the firemen,with the exception of> five, or six, whorefused to sail unless beds were pro-,vided for them free of charge. Underthe award governing seamen and firemenit has been the custom for many yearsfor /men to pay a small sum' for bods,as they were .averse to using any bubclean and' newly issued bedding. It isstated that the, agreement provides de-finitely for this custom, so tKjit the ac-tion of the m^n comes as something mthe nature of a surprise.

"QUEEN OF THE SFA."BIG ANNETTE KELLERMAN FILM FOR

HIS MAJESTY'S.

A notable attraction m the picture,world will be. shown at His Majesty'sTheatre for a brief, season, commencing

10-morrbw evening,! when "Queen of theSea"itHc big Annette. Kellerman film,

will be screened." The picture, was madeby Wm. Fox, and it is stated that neverbefore has *■■ producer acliieved such anartistic triumph m staging on.the ceUu-loid a story,m which feminine beauty,

love interest,!artistic; scenes on, land andsea and thrilling- achievements are; fea-tured. "Queen of the Sea"vis a stupen-

dous submarine " phantasy— a sjory thatgrips young and old. .... The making\.of"Queen of the Sea" cost over one milliondollars, and over fifty miles of film wereused the actual work lasting for elevenmonths. More than 1500 people appear mthe cast, and there are alsp 200 beautifulgirls as mermaids. Scenes are taken mBa^ Harbor, Bermuda/ Jamaica, Florida,Mexico and California. ,One expensivepart of the production was the buildingand subsequent;dynamiting of the tower,of kni%'es and swoi'ds,.containing intricatespecial machinery for operating weird in-struments of torture. Tlie most difficultphotography shown m the picture is thatof a battle m the dark between companiesof men fighting with swords, the. lightingbeing done electrically when the swordscome m contact. Those who rememberMiss Kellerman"s famous picture, "ADaughter of the Gods," are promised mthis latest. William Fox submarine fairystory even more .sensational swimmingand high-diving; stunts, combined withxeal dramatic situations. . The art . of.condensation has been applied, to thisfeature so that thrill1 follows thrill mconstant crescendo, until Miss Kellermanattains a hair-raising climax with herdive of 85 feet from ahigli wire into thebreakers below. This comes as a logical,part of the story, where: th%heroine isescaping from a lblty tower by walkinga wire cable across,a chasm, when thevillain cuts the slender

'strand, and atthe same time the tower Js blown up.The box plan for the Gisborne season,including the matinee on Saturday, areat Mr C. W. -Muir's, stationer.

In the new biU of fare toto patrons of the Palace Theatre to-nighthumor will be the chief Ingredient, astwo star,, films, out'of* three;on the pro-gramme are..of the. lighter, . description.In the first one, a Paramount production,"On the Quiet," John.Barrymore, claimedto be the foremost comedian on ttie screenwiU'be 9een m one-of his best character-isations, a lively young college studentwho wants to marry a charming girl.Her superior brother objects as he con-siders the youtll.:Of^tOQ_flighty a disposi-tion. But the pair get married, on thequiet'and the":young man reforms— andsets iout to complete his college course.Here, however, ill-luck pursues him. Hisbride finds chorus girls having a livelychampagne supper m the same apart-ment as her husband, and then matter?become increasingly.,complicated as everyfoot of film Is unwound, until the storyends m one roar of laughter. The othercomedy is aMack Sennettpicture "WhoseLittle Wife are You?" which is said tob-3 quite up to the high standard of thisworld-famed company. On the dramaticside of the programme .will be a Para-mount dramatic production,."The WomanIn jthe Case," a pb»verful,;stQry of love,intrigue and jealousy,,which depictsPauline'Frederick m bn-fe "of her bestcharacterisation's. .."'"Beautiful Banff".; isthe title of the latest Burton HolmesTravellogue, and a late edition of theAustralian Gazette will afford views oftopical interest to all.

Attention is drawn to the notificationm another page of a debate at theLabor Council Rooms, Gladstone road,on Thursday at 7.30 p.m. The subjectwill bo "Super-Physical Basis of Lifev. Material Basis."

*Mr. ft. H. B. Lock-,

ett will affirm the/ super-physical basis,and Mr. Holmes the materialbasis. Thisdebate should1 attract a large audienceand prove very interesting and instruc-tive, as both the. contestants are ableexponents of their different view-points.

Chi relinquishing his office as Ministerof Railways, the Hon. W. ■H. Herrieswrote to the general manager of rail-ways expressing his sincere thanks forthe assistance rendered by Mr McVillyand his predecessorsm ofh.ee during theanxious times they had 'passed throughm the course of his seven years of office,and also extending his cordial thanks tothe officials and heads of departmentswho had rendered loyal and splendid sci"-vico> and to all members of the Rail-way Department for their loyal and pat-riotic services, especially during the war.

SUPREME COURT.

Before his Honor Mr. Justice ChapmanTrue bills were found by the Grand

Jury m the cases:Rupert Victor An-derson, alleged theft; Joseph Crook,alleged carnal knowledge of child,/ andalleged attempted carnal knowledge of,achild, ,

BREAKING AND ENTERING.■ The hearing of the evidence was con-tinued m the charge against Colin Duff,aUeered breaking and entering and theft.

Mr. Burnard, who said that he hadnot intended to call evidence, referredto two points. First, he would assumethat it had iheen shown that accusedwas the man Avho entered the store.|He might have committed the act withvno intention to commit the theft.Drunkenness was no excuse, but a man'smind might have been co dogmatic]that, he was ■ unable to form any inten-tion. The action of throwing a stone ata window was not that of a man witha normal mind. A man with intentionto commit a .theft would take morethan two :bottles of stuff containingfluid; Moreover, this man later develop-ed delirium,tremens, and he

'put it to

them that the reasonable inference wasthat at the time his mind was too muchout of control for him to. form an in-tention to commit a crime. Secondly,assuming that the finger prints on thebottle were identical with those of ac-cused, from the, fact that the bottle ofcantharides was found m the window itwas reasonable to suppose that someoneelse might, have taken the bottle, andaccused might have- handled it fromoutside the window. He submitted theevidence was slender, and contendedthat it did not prove the case.

"*His Hoiôr said two points weie rais-

ed. With regard to the first there wassuch a thing as a drunken intention, mthat they lose caution. Was this a casem which an act had been done by adrunken man, when a man acted with-out intention of depriving the owner,mch as a man with an overcoat walk-ing away..with another?- Was this casesimilar m nature? What did iVmean?Breaking a shot) windowto get at some-thing inside. It was shown that -accus-ed showed a,craving for something, andhis mind might have been .controlledm the desire to secure the contents.ofthe bottle. It was for the jury to con-sider whether the act was committedm the terms of his (counsel's) conten-tion. His Honor said the second ques-tion resolved- itself to one of identifica-tion. The peculiarities m the fingerprints were that the characteristicswereonly alike m chance cases of nature,if they might be termedsuch. The factof accused being unable to explain howhe cut his finger might be explainedby his being too drunk to notice it orthat he did not feel it. The onus wason the,Crown, and it was for the juryto weigh the circumstances.

The jury retired at 2.30 p.m.The jury returned at 3 p.m. with a

verdict of guilty, with a recommenda-tion 'to leniency.

ALLEGED THEFT OF GIG.Rupert Victor Anderson was indicted

that at Tokomaru Bay, on January 2,1919, he did steal one horse, one trapand set of harness, the property ofMark Barber.

Mr. Burnard appeared on behalf , ofaccused, ,who pleaded not guilty.

'The following jury was empanelled:

Messrs. D. R. DeCosta (foreman), P.Howard, A. N. Pollock, j. R. Little,J. M. Scaly, G. H. Ballard. M. -Griffin,J. E. Sheen, J. M. Marshall, J. Mead,'P. O. Gceves, G. Smale.

RAILWAY REQUESTS.MINING GO-SLOW.

(From our parliamentary Reporter.)WELLINGTON, this day.

From all parts of the House came re-quests for further information and pleasfor greater facilities; when the Premierannounced the improved passenger .cer-vices to-day.

Mr Anderson inquired what goods re-strictions remained, and whether mater-ial for soldiers' homes could be carried.

Mr Massey said that all restrictions onthe carriage of material for soldiers'houses were removed, while committeesm each centre attended to permits forordinary goods.

Mr. Poland:Is there any relaxationmthe cut on the Thames-Frankton line?It is an awful service.

Mr Massey said he had discussed itwith tlie General Manager, who promisedto see what couldbe done.

Sir Joseph Ward again spoke of thegreat loss and inconvenience to manypeople m the South Island through thefailure to run an express to Invercargillfrom Christchurch m one day. He didnot want to be unreasonable -

but hecould not understand why a train wasnot run.

Mr Massey replied that he bad askedthe General'Manager of Railways to re-port on the subject, which was thorough-ly discussed with the Southland depu-tation. "Idon't think it will be possi-ble," he said, "to make an improvementuntil we get the service back_ to normal,but whenIget a reportIwill make upmy mind."

1 GO SLOW IN COAL MINES.After asking the Mmister of Railways

if any adjustment was being made ofthe time-table on the West Coast lines.Mr Holland inquired^ whether the rail-way service was likely to,:be affected bythe closing down of coaF mines. Hadthe Government, m View1 of its seriousconsequences on the railway services,yet considerefl the matter of calling acompulsory conference of owners .andminers?

Mr Massey declared,that the go-slowpolitym the mines had seriously affectedthe running of the railways. If theNew Zealand output of coal was normalhe would guarantee to replace the wholerailway service m ,one week.

Mr Holland:You made the cut beforethe go-slow policy started.

Mr. Massey:Iknow but although thesupply of overseas coal has greatly in-creased, the local coal supply is seriouslyreduced. We have to be careful whilethe go-slow lasts.

MrHolland:What about a compulsoryconference?

Mr Massey: A coflference which iscqmpnlsory will be little or no value.Iunderstand the owners made an offer,which is stillopen, and Ihope the menwill see their wav to accept it.MINISTER PROMISES STATEMENT.

More than one memberhad a questionto ask the Minister, of Mines on thesubject of coal mining 'and the

-coal

output as it is affecting the general pub-lic. . "

Mr Ell desired to know if it was true,as had been published, that the NewZealand output showed a shortage offifteen thousand tons for the fortnight?What effect would such a shortage haveon poor.people if the statement werecorrect? and would the Minister make astatement as to the, exact effect of thego-slow attitudeand the real reason forminers adopting it ?"'

Sir Wm. Fraser replied that he knewnothing about the statement published.He received his information from thedepartment and that"information didnotdeaLin tons of coal. Short'returns forthe State coal mines showed that atone the out put was 35 per cent belownormal and at the other 33 per cent,the hon. member could work it out* iiitons for himself. (Laughter). He prom-ised later toobtain the exact informationfor the benefit of the House.. Mr. Jennings.asked the Minister if hewould table a report received about theprospects of the coal mines at Mokau,and also sought information about thedetails of the purchase of a mine nearPukemii'o. i

To this Sir Wm. Fraser replied thathe had not geen the Mokau report, ashe only recently took ovsv the depart-ment; however, the *gi*,t of the reportshould be supplied to the public.

FARMERS AND THE LAND.

The following remit was also carried:"That this Union is of opinion it wouldbe to the interests of tlie Governmentand mox'e advantageous to returned sol-diers (if found suitable) if they weregranted Crown land free instead ofplacing them on high-priced land whereit is practically impossible for them tomake a living."

A motion :"That m view of the seri-ous menace that the aggregation of landis becoming to the welfare of the com-munity the Government be urged totake more effective measures to preventthe same," caused muchdebate,there be-ing a considerable difference of opinionwhether aggregation was really takingplace. Finally the following amendmentwas carried: "That this conference issatisfied close settlement is for the truewelfare of the counti"y and therefore isagainst undue aggregation."

A TROTTING PERMIT.ALLEGATIONS WITHDRAWN,

(Per Press Association.)CHRISTCHURCH, last night.

With reference to the remarks of theRev. J,' J. North at the meeting of|the Council of Churches last night m!regard to the use of the totalisator atthe recent trotting meeting m honor ofLord Jellicbe, the Hon. G. W. Russell,ex-Minister of Internal Affairs, t^-daymade 'the following statement :■

—"Mr

North is not correct m his allegations.The lawhas not been flouted asalleged.Everythingdone wasstrictly according tolaw:;-r-(l) Only six months' permits hadbeen allocated and issued, not those fora. whole year; (2) two clubs' the jVlur-chisbn and Tapnnui, have surrenderedtheir permits for a year,and those havenot . been allocated, consequently onboth grounds a permit was available forthe Jellicop meeting; (3) before leavingoffice Iindicated to the racing peoplethat Iwas not prepared this sessionto bring down legislation either to in-crease the number of permits'or tolegalise the double totalisator. Imay-add it is the Minister's duty to adminis-ter i,he law. There being no legal ob-jections to the meeting referred to, 1had iao reason m the law for refusing apermit, and would not have been justi-fied m doing so on personal grounds."

Having seen Mr Russell's statementre the Jellicoe meeting, the Rev. J. J. jNorth to-night said that for public rea-sons he was now glad to learn from Mr.Russell that the permit for the Jellicoetrotting meeting was legal and he with-drev? unreservedly his comments on the|affair, and admitted that Mr Russell'saction was legally correct. Mr North,said that if Mr Russell had stated when'the permit wa6 issued that"the Govern-ment had surplus permits on hand nocriticism would have been uttered.

THE COMING ELECTIONS.THE LABOR POLICY.(Per Press Association.)

WELLINGTON, last night.Mr. J. Read, Labor candidate for

Wellington North, opened his campaignto-nightf. He charged the Tory-Liberalcombination with having extended theirterms of office unconstitutionally, passedlaws' for which they had no mandatefrom the people; and allowed profiteer-!ing on an unprecedented scale withouthindrance. He said the Government in-flicted conscription on the people with-out considering their wishes. The Laborparty stood uncompromisingly againstjconscription m any form. The Torieshad" proposed that New Zealand shouldhave only two representativesm the Im-perial Parliament, but that that Pa'rlia-lame'nt* should have power to engagem war and determine the Empire'spolicies m regard to citizenship and na-tionalisation.SOME AUCKLAND CANDIDATES

'many men suffered m getting land, and,urged' that Repatriation Boards be em-'

"Iunder-stand some1 of these local bodies holdpatriotic funds invested for as long, as20 and 25 years. "Now, that 'money'' wassubscribed lor -spending, on our boy.s,especially wounded boys;now, not m 125 .years' time," he contended; "It is quitewi'ong to lock this money tip, «nd Ithink the Government should announceits policy on the subject. If any ex-penditure is neededm 25,years' time, letthe peopleof that date do their share."

Mr Hevries:That is mider the Minis-ter of Internal Affairs. (Laughter).i Dr. Newman: Well, Mr Speaker, Ithink it's time every'^Minister had- aclean-ciit occupation. Who;else must Iseek? Ithink it is

BOARD OF TRADE BILLPARLIAMENT AND PROFITEERS.

AN INTERESTING DEBATE." (Per Press Association.)

WELLINGTON, -last night.The adjourned debate oil tKe Board

of Trade Bill waft iesumed ill the Houselast night by Mr. J\ P. Luke, whostressed the importance of having a reallive board with a real live secretary.The Bill had been well thought, out, andgave the Board the necessary power toregulate trade, and to the courts powerto put down profiteering, even by im-prisonment if necessary. He anticipat-ed theBill would resultm a considerableincrease m the volume df trade betweenNew Zealand and the Old Country, witha consequent increase ot the wealth ofthe Dominion He also anticipated thatthe Bill would tend to promote our sec-ondary industries and so give our youngpeople an opportunity of following con-genial occupations. He strongly urgedthe nationalisation of mines.

Mr. J. Anatey said the Bill was a. be-lated attempt to catch up with tinsprofiteers. The Bill ought to have beenbrought down four years ago. Unfortu-nately, most of the profiteer** had got off

Isv.t.i l.huir proiit.i. because we had notgot down t:» the rootof the trouble. Piecritic, .a S c John Fimdla-v's effort toexplain sUbilising1 values, because liesaid he could not see hoAv stabilisingvalues was going to put down■ profiteer-ing. In order to get at the root ofthe evil, we require to effect a. completereversal of our fiscal policy-, which ex-empted a large section of the commu-nity. He attacked the methods of tax-ing some of the large proprietary com-panies and banks, which were /passingon their taxation to the public, afterwhich they pay large dividends to theshareholders. TJiis was a form of pro-fiteering which the Bill did not touch.On the other hand, co-operative com-panies were unanimously taxed but theiact remained that six millions were.yearly going into the po-ckete of share-holders Iree of taxation. There wereother sections of the community goingtree or taxation* such- as mortgages, and.he predicted, unless the Governmenttackled this question at the root, thisBill would be. futile.

Mr. W, Dom-hie Stuart said he didnotsee how the Board under theBill could greatly reduce the cost of liv-ing merely by fixing prices. He recog-nised that a. different policy must beobserved mdealing with."the iocal-grownproduce and the. imported article. Noreduction m the prices of local producecould be expected while there was ahungry market outside, unless -the Go-vernment set about establishing someland of equalisation fund. He thoughtthe Labor party were pursuing a wrongpolicy m their methods of denouncingthe profiteers. They were perpetuatingciass conflict and weresetting local pro-ducers against them.. He thought theywould make more progressm th«ir pro-paganda by permittingother new partiesthan by seeking to establish a partywith an indmduali«|| qf its own... Thespeaker tlieii'proceeded upon a-n- elabo-1rate criticism of Professor !Fisher'sscheme ior stabilising the sovereign, asoutlined by Sir John Pindlayon!Fridaynight, agreeing, that the scheme was,worthy of the deepest,consideration.Mr. Payne roundly condemned Profes-sor Fisher's scheme as,the. propagandaIof the interriatiorujl bankingring to geta bigger price for gold. Tiie bhly wayby Ayhich prices coiildI'bfe lowered '^ndthe cost of livingreduce 3'

wq&hylreduc-tion of taxation. He advocated1 tlienationalisation'of. banldng as the bestaueand by which we could pay off- ourwar debts and so sa.ve this country atleast six millions annually by way oftaxation... .. .-"

", ■ ". \Dr.j JJfewman said Professor Fisher'sbook Bras two years old and out of date,

and his scheme 'was- "flyblown.1' In-stead of talking fine theories, we sWulrlset about at onbe to devise some prac-tical way of reducing the cost of living.

'He advocated'the Government 'control (

oi handling, coal. A block system'

should be established, and it could re-1duce the cost by £1 per ton m Welling.j ton. Hydro-electric power schemes must'

;be pußhed on, 'us should also be. a Go-'jvernment housing scheme which;>wouldgive people houses at not more than 12sia week. It; was by practical efforts1 such as these, and not by wild schemesof banking, that people"were going tobe assisted. " "

I Mr. R. Semple said' the basis of ailtroubles of the world was that the pro-; jduction was for profit and hot for use. !Consequently the 'wealth-producers were

'exploited by the parasitical fetf, andwhen they protested agajhsfctnis sort ofthing they were called "industriar»gita-tors." As a matter of fact, all tliemembers of the House were agitators.They would[stir up the country for thesake of principles they thought right.Then why throw bricks at Labor mem-bers who tried to give- expression tothe views of the class to which thevbelonged? What -they had to do -was

'to remote the present form of society.But instead of doing that "the present jpractice was.to knight the <6rploiteras asuccessful business man, but the manwho raisediiie voitee on behalf of the

'people whom he exploitedwas often putm gaol. He declared that there werecertain well-defined causes at the rootof industrial discontent all ovetf theworld, and he had tlie opinions express-ed by LordRoberts, Lord Robert Cecil.Mr. Sydney Webb, and others to showthat our social system bredpoverty, andthat poverty bred unrest. But thatcause of industrial discontent was nottouched onby the Bill. Discussing thecoal question, he declared that the coal,barons were not,necessary, and Parlia-ment should not hesitate to nationalise!the mines beforeParliamentcloses. We,at the present .moment, were on thoverge of a coal strike, which would dis-organise the whole industrial system ma few days. Some Auckland miners

vprobably would be prosecuted. Thatwas the usual course,, 'but that,did not, get:ridof the root of the cause, and1un-less Parliament had' 'the courage tonationalise the coal' mines the root*causewould not be got rid.of.

Replyingto an interjectionas to whathad been happening at the State mines,he declared

-that the State mines weredimcing to the tuiie of the privatemines.Th6y wer^.,being', ruined ',l>y a. syn)pa-

thetic administration, and tlie samewould happen

',to: the Bill

'befatfe"rthte

House. If it was not administered-with isympathy, it wfculd not be worth thepaper it was printed on.

Mr. Harris contended that air-in-quiries under the Act ahould.be held iit|public," riotp cameraas.proposed. The1

more publicity that was given to prose-icutions the better. The Actas.a wholewould have some check upon profiteers.IjNo firm would likely run the risk of|public prosecution. ■<\

Bir Joseph Ward said tliat he sup-ported the Bill because-abnormalcondi-tions had been created by the War, andrequired iwiiat might be called an abnor-mal law to put them right. The realroot of the trouble was that so manyproducing countries had ;been put out ofproduction as a consequence of the war,and many of them would not be able toreturn to production for the next fewyears. On the one hand we had ashortage of food because land and laborwere not available to' produce it, and onthe other hand owing to the need oftransport of -troops, there was ashortageof shipping to carry food. Under, thesecircumstances, there could not fail to bea rise m prices, even, m this country.He was against exploitation,'profiteeringand Bolshevism, and he;nvas firmly (sat-isfied to deal with these, as we havedealt with them, drastically.

Sir Joseph Ward -continued that he. didnot think any theories, put forwardby Professor Fisher wouldgive us backthe full value of the sovereign/ For thatwo would liave foVait fo^ some time,and he was not going to accept Profes-sor Fisher's theory until he was satisfieditnvas proved,correct by thorough inves-tigation.

r ;He did-/notr believe impropertrading 3iad been going on to the extentmany people eupposed. But if it wasgoingoh" this.Bill iybuld j^ct tit a 'beacqnand a wartime to-profiteers.' -The BoaMof Trade had done good" work m thepast. This Bill would strengthen theirhands. But -he.would Jike to empha-sise the point that the measure must beadministeredwith the greatest regard tocare and caution. .

The debate was carried on by Messrs;Field (Nelson). Talbot, Statham, Me*Combs, and Holland.

(From our Reporter.)WELLIftGtfON; t-his day.In the debate on the Bojird of TradeBill some attention) was aâin- paid tocun-ency inflation, as one of th© causes

of the problem of hiigh prices.Mr. Anstey,m critickufg the currencystabilisation theory advanced by SirJohn Findlay, expressed the opinionthat the member had'enlarged on theevils of the present system without ex-plaining clearly how the index numberprinciple was going to remedy them.

Mr. Payne frankly scoffed at theideo. of stabilisation of pzuces; and costof living bemg.affected' by :the applica-tion^ of Professor IrvineFisher's scheme.He contended that adjustment' -under it-would not"haveany other effect/ than toenable traders to -reap more profits.-"The scheme is ba,s^d:on a " false as-sumption as to the basis of credit," hedeclared, adding caustically, "No onebut a banker would have the impertin-ence to assert that gold is the founda-tion of our credit system."

Dr. Newman, was also severe on Pro-fessor Fisher's scheme, which, he ex-cladmed, was a very olev€r one, but hadbeen proved by experts to have nothingm it. "Inshort," he said, ''"it is alreadyflyblown'". ;.:(<, , '

Mr. Anstey. commented, "We aillow alarge body of- exploiters, to get awaywith huge profits^;., then we start :vstem;.chase, and:findi wef qre fctjoalowto catch them,'' He feared that the Billdid"not get down to the root of thetrouble. There wasârrfew>rmouß amountof profiteering takingplace by investors,which the Bill apparently could nottouch. They could.make over 100 percent, and invest itm tax-free war loans.

Mr. Semple suggested that no doubtm a, few days some miners would boprosecuted, but.that did not get downto the root of the ooal trouble. Theonly way w&s to get at the few Whocontrolled the industry, by the national-ising of the mines.I Mr. Nosworthy:What are you doingwith the State mines? 'I Mr. Sempla: They are dancing to thetune of private owner?. Their adminis-tration is w/rong.■ ■" ..

Sir Joseph-s-Wfrrd suggested 'that, the[theories of economists notwithstanding,he did not believe the-sovereign, wouldget back to its ordinary position mpurchasing power until the normal con-ditions of thingshad returned, when thedeâstated "countries,, were again *able tofeed theiiv'owri'■people;* 'Until lie ■ knewthe

'result of complete investigatioifv by

qualified ■expert* regarding, ihe schemefor stabilising the sovereign/ by refer-ence to the value of -commodities, liewasnot going t» accept aitiy~- theory hur-riedly. He regardedi the Billas;.ti. ■warn-ing to peoplewho carried on trade,thatif anyone carried out 'improper, unfairactions there was an Act of Parliamentto bring them to book.

The Board of Trade Bill was read asecond time, and. the;House adjournedat 2.30 a.'m;' '"> ;,
