Championships To Be Awarded Today.

Judging of classes and herds was completed yesterday at. the Provincial Fox Show, Exhibition grounds. It was a big day's work that Judge Callbeck undertook and accomplished, but he was aid- gd by an almost perfect day, the weather being clear and bright. It was an absolutely ideal fox day from any-angle, judging or ranch work, with just enough tang in the nir to make it invigorating and benltiiful. An almost capacity crowd viewed the judging, particularly during the afternoon. Over a. hundred ears were parked on the grounds llld visitors from all parts of the province, cast and wast. could he

Non-Interven- tion Committee Ac- cepts British Plan.

(A.P. By Guardian's Special Wire).

LONDON, Nov. 4 Tension among the great powers over the Spanish civil war relaxed measur- ably tonight as Great Britain axi- iiounced the government was ne- gotiating a commercial agreement wiih the Insurgent regime. ' A full meeting of the 2'1 nation Spanish Non-Intervention Commit- tee quickly approved British pro- posals for getting foreign troops out of Spain and authorized the Enrl oi Plymouth, the chairmen, to apprglach the Spanish government and surgents to obtain their con- sent. ' Au increasingly friendlier feeling in Britsh quarters toward Insur- glint General Franco was evident with British and French authorities talking less about strong action i0 force, withdrawal oi the foreign volunteers fighting on both sides. Prime Minister Chamberlain told the House of Commons Great Brit- ain was negotiating commercial re- lations with General Franco but os- scried that did not involve de facto diplomatic recognition oi the In- surgeiits. Reliable sources said the commer- cinl agreement would be_ on the lines of the existing arrangement Willi Italy in her unrecognized Em- pire‘ of Ethiopia. The agreement was not likely to be completed. however, they said, until General Franco provided the ~Forcign Office with the result of the “searching inquiry" he prom- ised info the sinking of the British sleamship Jean Weems off the Cat- alnii coast last week.

The agreement was said to mean that Britain and the Insurielli-l would have recogniZBf-l 11881195 Bi each others captain.

Seek To Dislod ge Jap Foothold On Soochow Creek

(By The Associated Press)

SHANGHAI, Nov. 5—(Friday)— The precarious Japanese foothold on the south bank of Soochow Creek became almost untenable today under the fury of a heavily reinforced Chinese attack.

After a day and night of bitter

fighting the Japanese claimed to have established l, IMO-yard long position on the south hank of the creek which snakes through the International settlement to the west. A survey of the front line last night showed the Japanese were holding a sector near “tubi- con Village where they had driven a. narrow wedge into the Chinese position about three miles west of Shanghai. v Foreign naval observers reported heavy concentrations of Japanese warships in the Whangpoo River with" 42" imen-‘ot-war ‘between Shanghai and Woosung and some 40 more near the south of the river. '

They expressed belief the Jap- anese intended to make a landing in force in the Pootung industrial area, just across the Whangpoo from Shanghai's Bund.

During yesterday thousands of fresh Chinese troops, well-equipped and disciplined, moved up to the battlefront stretching northwest from Shanghai. The youthful Chl- nese struck again and again at the point of the Japancsr; ud- vance.

The Japanese were attempting to use the foothold l0 protect n. major crossing of the creek which forms a natural obstacle in front 0f the right flank of the Chinese "winter defence line.“

A Chinese spokesman said Chi- nese artillery destroyed two of the three military bridges built. across the creek by Japanese engineers.

Foreign observers expressed be- lief the first Japanese objective south oi the creek was Hungjao airdrome, three miles southwest of Rubicon village.

Both Chinese and Japanese of- ficials announced negotiations ior establishment of the northern part of the native city o! Nantao as a haven for refugees were nearing a successful conclusion.

In North Chins. along the Perp- ing to Hankow railroad Chinese asserted the Japanese were forced back across the Ching River into southern Hopeh Province where o. battle was under way. (Japanese reports from Peifling said the at- tack wsg repulsed).

Dean of the pharmacy profes- sion‘ in the Province, Mr. Hughes achieved notable success not only as a business irian, but in the spheres of civic and provincial poi- itlcs. He was also actively assoc- iated for many years with such organizations as the Provincial Exhibition Association, the Board of Trade, and the Tourist Assoc- iation. '

About eight years ago Mr. Hugh- cs was iorced by ill health to re- tire from business. He suffered from arthritis, which resulted ev- entually in the loss of his eyesight. but despite physical disability his mental faculties remained clear.

Hughes. who for fifty years had been as- sistant clerk of the Legislature and was for ll. time manager of the Examiner newspaper when his brother-in-law, I-Ion. Edwardwhe- inn was editor and proprietor. Mr. Hughes, senior, who was also clerk of the Land Commission and of the County Court. married Mar- garet, whose father, Charles Binns was the first Attorney General of the Province.

A sister of Frederlckcyh-jlughes, Mary Ann Hughes. was rnarriedto Edward Whelan. She passed away few years ago at an advanced

age.

The late Hon. George E. Hughes was a nephew by marriage of Mr. Whelan. and he was called George after l-lon. George Coles, Mr. Whol- en's colleague, and Edward after Mr. Whelan himself.

Mr. Hughes attended a private school conducted by Robert Blake Irving. on Pownal St., father of the late Col. J. D. Irving, and also the Prince of Wales College and Normal School, of which Dr. Iii- glcs was Principal. Later he was a student. for two years at St. Dunsialrs College, of which Father Angus MacDonald was rector, Frank Dean, C. D. Rankin, John Richards, Hon. A. B. Warburton and _Dr. George Warburton being fellow classmates.

At the age of fifteen Mr. Hughes began the study of medicine witn- thc late Dr. F. D. Beer on Wey- mouth Street. In I872 he opened a drugstore with Samuel W. Dodd. the establishment being kriowiras

FIRE ciusis DAMAGE AT BDURLHDIISE

Cause Of Blaze Un‘ known — Workman‘ Trapped On Roof.

Fire yesterday caused unesiim- ated damage to the attic and roof of the Court House building, im- der renovation, while last night Leo Darrach. carpenter employed

no ill-effects from being trapped on the flat roo! of the building for half an hour as clouds o! smoke rolled around him and fire crack- led at his feet.

The fire was believed to have been caused by an explosion 0i as- phalt in a boiler in tile attic from which the heated material was being carried to the roof. mcn said the torch used asahcat- or had been removed about hail an hour before the flames broke out and there was no fire about the boiler. There seemed to be an explosion, they said, followed by fire nnd smoke which filled tnc place. -

Mr. A. T. McKinnon, contractor, stated the boiler which contained about 40 gallons of heated asphalt was of regulation type for the work and the material was "supposed" to be non-inflammable. He was present five minutes before the

|explosion and was on his way t0 Feniicll dz Chandler's to obtain ‘more kerosene oil for the heater Ewhcir informed that a fire had i broken out. E “It's h mystery to us just yet ijust what did happen," Mr. C. H. lBecr, provincial fire marshal, snld ,lust night. An Investigation was {being conducted. ‘The material the workmen were nesting was "not highly inflammable." he said.

j An estimate - of the amount oi

iilziniage would not be available for ,-

‘several days yet, until an apprais- ,al was made by representatives oi the ill-r; insurance companies, Mr. 1L. B. McMillan, deputy minister 0i public works said. There was $70.- 000 insurance on the building and $10,000 on the contents, the deputy I minister announced.

Work on the rcoi, Mr. Machin- non states, was almost completed when the explosion occurred.

Reconstruction of the building. he estimates, will be delayed about a lnonlh as a. result of the tire.

At the outbreak oi the flames‘

workmen in the attic shouted a

warning to Darrach working on ‘ 'the roof and made a hurried exit. , ‘ Dzirrach, however, was forced back i

i by smoke and flames. When fire- ‘ men arrived an extension ladder i was raised to rescue him from his iperilous position but it failed to i reach the eve of the high three- storey building and another was sent for.
