‘Michigan. He asked $5.000 dim-W” [pom the owners cf the schooner and its Skipper, Capt. A118‘!!! J. waiters, and demanded that the ‘M, be seized if the judgment were no: otherwise satisfied.

Btillweli. a lumbennsrl _ and y-oker, charged that his guests e kept awake by early morning jgk gwabbing, fed unpalatable raglan; and generally subjected to indignities allegedly because the flrippel‘ wanted to hurry back to mo Obiccgotlcck to take on an- villcr charter DENY- iie asked the refund of $2,500 phnrter fee and an equal sum for Iamnsfl.

The Contract f’

ms contract, Ctiilwell asserted, sailed for exclusive use of tho ves- wq for a, party of his friends for lo days to two weelos, sailing at least to Mackinac Island and rc- turn. vmssonsbly palatable‘ food

specified, he said. No palatable

[cod was served.

Deckswere swebbed with s. din that made sleep impossuzlc. Bertha were not made up,_ and pillows were removed.

Decks were painted, reducing the

ce available for his party.

The crew refused service and ad- dressed his guestsdisconrteously.

sliiiwell charged Capt. Walters and other members of the crew entered into a. conspiracy that would make the party disgusted and return. “They treated us with lxtrcmc disoourtesy and heaped in- dignities upon us." he said.

The schooner, Stillwell said, ltopped at Milwaukee where Still- wcil and his friends disembarkcd, informing Capt. Walters they would board it again at Chicago for an- other cruise within the two weeks period the charter celled for. At Chicago Stillwell said he found an- other party had chartered the Biuenose. -

The action was filed under pro- vision of ths Admiralty Law. »

John P. Harding, agent for the Bluenose cruises, said it was all ‘boys’ play" and that 90 percent of

Stillwellb guests have ‘ernned ltillwell for his attitude.

Reassuring Letter 0i Canadian Bank of Commerce '

rononwo, Aug. ‘i-A-(CPJ-Mo- mentum attained. by business dur- ing the second quarter of 1933 has carried several industries to high- er leveis through July, states the

‘August commercial letter of the

Canadian Bank of Commence.

"It ma/y thlerefolo be expected that complete reports for the past month will-show the volume of business as a whole to have been

,maintained at about the June lev-

el. In view of the serious crop damage-the breakdown of the World Economic conference and recent stock market losses, this stability should be regarded as the best showing possible," the letter goes on.

Prospects for the new crops have steadily deteriorated during the Dost month, the Bank says, except in British Columbia and most of tho agricultural sections of the Maritime Provinces. Prairie grain crops have had to contend notpnly with continued drought but o, spread on grasshopper damage. "Accordingly, the area of prospect- ive short yields has widened to in- clude sections which were fairly promising a month ago, and to leave south-western Manitoba, west central Saskatchewan and s. large Dart of eastern Alberta without much, if any, hope of improvement cvcn if heavy rains now tell."

The 1933-34 “wheat crop" opens therefore with a short new crop as a. certainty, the letter continua, but the abnormally large any“. er of old when/t, some 200,000,000 bushels, will make up for the short- age of the new crop and "gamma, will therefore have the coming "wheat year", a normal supply and In wrnvrtelble surplus practically equal to the erlwris recorded for the 1932-33 year.

Upward movement of business affected a number of industries. "The newsprint industry deserves first consideration not only because it is the leading branch. of manu- facture but also because it was the first to revive." The recent season- Bl expansion assumed mom than usual significance inasmuch as it was more prolonged than 1n my year since 1930 and lasted almost throughout June, in striking eon- trast with the recessions in that month which occurred on the aver- age during the past l0 years.

Lllmberi-"B also made an impres- sive record. Production in the flu-ge months ending June in British Col- umbia. was nearly treble that of the proceeding quarter, and the June measure was abnost equal so that of May, 1932, the month that im- mediately preceded the decline which continued almost without interruption until March cf this year.

Urge Sending Team On Tour

LONDON, lAug. 8—-(C.P.)—The

Lawn Tennis Association is being pressed to change its decision not to send an official tennis teem to Australia this year. Australia's in- vitation was refused on the ground the leading Erngiish players, includ- ing the team that recently won the Davis Cup for England for the first time since 1912, have been in con- tinuous’ competition for two years and need s. lengthy rest. There are some however who count the decision as A‘ ely un- fortunate especlally following the severe controversy that arose over the question of bodyllne bowling during tho test cricket matches be- tween England and Australia last winter‘ and it is hoped the L. T. A. will reconsider its decision. It is pointed out Australia will send a distinguished team to Wimbledon. including Jack Crawford, the sing- les victor.

Fine City Hall Ten Years 01d

(Canadian Press)

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Aug. a-‘ A few days ago the city hall of Stockholm, often called the most beautiful of modern public build- inss in the world, celebrated its 10th anniversary. The city hall, which is the pride of the citizens of Stockholm, was built by the famous Stockholm architect Rag- nar Oestberg at a cost of about 18,000,000 kronor. It has become not only Sweden's foremost civic centre but also a meeting place for large international festivities and -the (lit-v or Stockholm has in tho course of the years shown magnifi- cent hospitality tc many thousands of foreign guests.

Banquets in the famous Golden Hall make an unforgettable impres- sion when lts walls of golden mo- saics reflect the light of thousands of candles. It is estimated that at least 1,500,000 persons have visited the city hall during the past 1O years, and it has become one of the foremost tourist attractions of Sweden. In the visitors’ book the names of six kings, three presid-

253.

including the Prince of Wales are inscribed, and the list of visitors includes persons from practically all countries in, the world. After the War when ‘Stockholm became a neutral centre, where many in- ternational ties torn by the wor‘rl conflict were re-uniied, the city hall was the scene of several his- toric Eatherings at which former enemies again clasped hands and agreed to forget the past.

The interior decoration of the city hail is, being perfected every your through donations, municipal purchases of works of art and through the addition of new orna- mental decorations.

General O’Duffy, who announc- ed plans today for a parade of his “Blue Shirts" Sunday, attend- ed the function.

During the day, the General de- manded the oo-operation of the Government against intenference by any organisation.

He described the present Irish- Parliamentary system as "un- Irish" and detrimental to the best interests of the people.

The National Guard leader. whose organization the Govern- ment his threatened to suppress said he thought it would take at least a you of hard work to wean the people from the present sys- tem, but everywhere he said he received the reply, "We are ready now."

As regards the Sunday program- me, General O’Duffy said: "In the name of the citizens I demand from the Government the oo-op- eration of state forces against st- tack. Our members are not pre- paring to engage the mob in con-
