"But better luck next time," he added. The throng in the small, smoke-filled cabin increased, scores surging forward to grasp his hand. choked the companion ‘way- Angus made a. move. “Now I must go over and shake hands with Ben Pine," he said.

I With all, sails set made an impres-

{islvo sight as they jockeyed for po- sition immediately before the start. flfbeeleven years old Bluenose and her less than two yea-rs old, but noticeably smaller rival. ‘Ihebaud, were beln8 handled with the case oi one class racing boats. As the naval twelve pounder. served by a 81m crew from the Halifax dock- yard and dragged to the starting line for the purpose, barked the awaited signal, Captain Ben Pine had the preferred weather position but he was astem and not footing u fast as the Bluenose. Thirty sec- onds after the gun. Walters crossed the line. He was followed thirty- elght seconds later by Pine. It was a start that would have graced the recordsof two of the most exper- ienced of yachismen.

‘Shift In Wind

The sailing committee had chos- en a. course which, if the wind had _ held its direction, would have pro- vided but nine miles of windward work. But the wind hauled from .sou'west lo sou'sou'west, heading -the schooner-s on their first leg to the inner automatic buoy and re- quiring them to tack in order to Jnake it. Thts shift in the wind ‘cost Walters the race. But the jllsluenm was well ahead when the mark was reached. She increased her lead on the reach in Shut-in island buoy, the second mark, off the Nova Scotia. coast, to the east- _ ward of Halifax harbor, and this. despite the fact that Walters had i-trouble with his ballooner, when a ‘block gave, way and had to be re- newed. The head sail was mast- {headed and the race went on.

In Her Element

Bucking down to the nine mile o-‘llfflli to the outer automatic bluoy, i almost in a line due south from fithe finish line, the Bluenose was ‘i in her element and forged steadily lute weather. It was at this stage fthat most of, the followers of the g race abandoned hope of its being lainished in time, but_ SS nluenose {neared the mark, after a remark- ~' sibly fine performance in the weather of the day, hope revived that she would finish before three

Romping home like the thor- (sughbred she is, Bluenosc made the nner automate buoy, half way tn lie line, within the required time. Had she made the same time for a like distance, coming down the harbor, the race would have been hers. But inside the harbor the wind was fallin8- Angus "scandal- ized" his staysail, set his sails wlnB 41nd wing, threw sixty cents over- board, used every trlck4in his bag, but with ever lessening hope.

EDMOWION, Alta-l Oct. 1'l— Practically rejecting the suggestion that a Union Government be form- ed in Alberta, Premier J. E. Brown- lec today declared that the out- come of an invmigatlon now being conducted into the province's fi- nancial condition would determine the date for calling the Legislature into session, _ “If non-party governments are 800d and desirable institutions in time of stress and strain, why not always." the Premier asked in aris- >wer to the recent suggestion of W. M. Davidson, pioneer Alberta edi- tor, that a Union government be set "P in the province. "If the party lmvemment system is not qualified to handle emergencies," Mr. Brown- lee added, "How can it be such a 800d thing for ordinary times?"

The Premier stated the govern- ment and I- Slpup of civil servants "e 110W encased in a close analy- sis oi -the Provinces financial 511;- uation. It had been suggested by D. M‘.

_ GIVES STATEMENT

While the clicking instruments still were transmitting the first news of Mr. Edison's death, there came from his family, in the form of a statement, their answer to the

ventor changed his religious beliefs before death. The statement read:

"The question has been asked whether lVIr. Edison changed his

hers of the Edisonfamilystaic this is a. difficult question to answer be- cause of the widespread misunder- standing of what his beliefs actual- ly were. Mr. Edison cannot be said to have changed views attributed to him which he never held. »“l-Ie

lone who knew him could _have doubted his belief in a reverence for a supreme intelligence, and his whole life, in which the ideals of honest loving service to his fellow man was predominant, indicated how faithfully he followed those two commandments wherein lie "all the la-w and the prophets." The statement then quoted five verses from the twenty-second chapter of Matthew: '

“Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempt ing him and saying:

"Master, which is the great com- mandment ln the law? I

“Jesus said unto him. ‘thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

“This is the first and great com- mandment.

“And the second is like unto it—- ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

"On these two commandments hang all the law and the proph- etsfi.’

"When asked if he believed in immortality, he answered briefly, ‘no one knows.’

SAW A VISION-

“A few days before he passed a- way he was sitting in his chair cn- joying a. pleasant dream, sud- denly opening his eyes and gazing upwards into space, his face il- luminated with a smile, he said. ‘It is very beautiful over there.‘

"Hail the great inventor climbed the heights which lead into eter- nity and caught a glimpse beyond the veil which obstructs our earth- ly vision? Who will answer?"

Mr. Edison's body will lie in state tomorrow and Tuesday in the lib- rary of his laboratory.
