Secret l I

In Paris, French Foreign Minis- ter Flandin held a secret meeting with Vittorio Cerruti, Italian am- bassador. Flandin reportedly ex- pressed fear the League might turn down Italy's answer to the League's move for conciliation of the Ethi- opian war if Italy made any reser- vations.

In London it was reliably learned that Britain had instructed her ambassadors in Berlin and Rome to determine what steps Germany proposes to take regarding the Rhineland and whether Italy has any intention of denouncing the Locarno treaty. .

League of Nations officials in Geneva were reluctant to express opinions beforehand on the sched- uled Cerman announcement.

The Senate already has debated the liquor-smuggling qumtion launched by Senator J. J. Hughes of Prince Edward Island. Mlajor General Sir James MacBrien, R. C. M- P. commissioner, submitted a memorandum to the Senate re- ferring to the need for changes in the law.

Under the proposed changes any Canadian ship could be searched within i3 miles of the Canadian shore and if any liquor was found not properly consigned to a Can- adian importer in pccordonce with the importation of intoxication liquors act, the vessel might be seized.

The act will go further and ren- der tbe vessel liable if any of its“ cal-gone ‘ncircrr ins “maul-- fest, whether liquor or not. A similar provision is in the present act but it has been interpreted by the courts as applying only tn the three-mile limit.

WITNESSES IDENTIFY BIINNISTER

Rigid Cr0ss-examina- tion of Witnesses by Defense Counsel As Trial Went Into Third Day.

(C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) DORCHEBTER, N. B., March 6- Crown witnesses and attorneys at- tempted to weave the web of guilt around Arthur Bannister. l9, charged with the murder of Philip Lake today as the notorious West- morelsnd County triple torch mur- dyer trial went into its third day. After two witnesses, Leonard Caroll sud William Horseman, identified Bannister as the youth they had seen the night of the tragedy, trudging towards the Lake home with a. rifle over his should- er, mounted police officers took the stand to tell of the finding of the bodies of Lake, his common-law wife and their child Jackie at Pacific Junction Jan. 6 last. Earlier photographs of the crim- son-tainted snow where the semi- nude body of the dead woman and the child were found and pictures of the ruins of the ~iamshackle house where the charred body of Philip Lake was discovered, were added to the court record as ex- hibits for the first time. They were mot considered admissable at the preliminary hearing. Arthur Bannistefs brother Dan-

is charged with kidnapping the Lake's only remaining child, little baby Betty Lake, six months old. The crow-n alleges that Mrs. Ban- nister sought the child to produce as he: own in an attempt to ex- tort money from two Moncion men.

Time after time, as the crowded courthouse listened with rapt at- tention, defenee counsel H. Murray Lambert attempted to break down the crown‘s case through rigid cross-examination of witnesses.

His strenuous objections to the admission of photographs was over- ruled by Chief Justicc J. H. Barry.

After witness Horseman said he could identify the accused as the man he had seen walking through the snow in the vicinity of the Lake home on the night of the triple tragedy, the defense lawyer wrung from him the admission: "The man I saw might not have been Arthur Bannister."

The tale cf the gruesome finding of father. mother and child on Jan. 6 was told by R.C.M.P. Con- stable R. J. Kent. With other of- ficers he visited the ruins of the squatters’ cabin at the little village near Moncton, N. B. . "We first came to the body of s. woman," he told the stllled court- room. "Shc was practically nude. There was only a cloth around her. hips. About t0 feet further on was the body of a boy."

In the‘ ruins the police officers discovered the body of Philip Lake. "I found two gold teeth in the up- per jaw of the remains," witness continued.

“I made inquiries about Lake and was, told he had two gold teeth in his upper jaw. The body was ex- ceptionally hadly burned and charred."

He looked around for some sign of the baby but came across none, "I found the remains of a cat," the Mounted Police officer stated. "There was also a rifle butt found handy the bed. It was some- what burned."

TOKYO, March 0—-The threat- ened wrecking of Kcki Hirotaa at- tempts to form a. Cabinet because of the army's disapproval of some of his selections created an omin- ous tension in Tokyo tonight.

Principal figures involved in the efforts to organize a government to succeed that shattered by army extremists last week went to bed shortly before midnight with their negotiations still deadlocked. They avers/to continue their work to- marrow.

Despite the announced retire- ment of five senior generals under a cloud of indirect responsibility for last week's rebellion. the army served notice of its still tremendous power in the Empire's politics

Count Juichi Terauchi, whom l-Iircta had selected as war min- ister, withdrew under pressure from high militarists who opposed some of his SBlQCDlOXua of Liberals. The army men indicated they would not allow any other general to en- ter the Cabinet unless I-ilrota ap- proved the military's demands.

It was understood the army leaders disapproved the choice of Shigeru Yoshida for the foreign affairs ministry.

which remained loyal during the recent uprising—-dld not join the army in opposing Hirotas choices was seen in the acceptance of the navy portfolio bvyAdmiral Osaml Nagano.
