Delagorge and Greys-Pu- sygneu near Grenoble. Six houses were burned and the whole district electrified. Great’ sparks and fiam- es flashed in all the houses when the transformer was hit. Fire broke ou . '

The inhabitants were panic stric- ken and attempted to shut off the current by cutting or breaking the wires with damp tools or poles for it was raining in torrents. Four persons were killed in these at- tempts. The fifth victim took a. me- tal pump handle to get water to fight a fire and fell dead. A num- ber of other persons received shocks and burns varying in severity. A quantity of livestock was also des- troyed.

The Premier then touched on the matters oi child welfare and pub- lic health for which the govern- ment, owing to lack of revenue is able to do little or nothing. He felt that conditions should be im- proved in this regard before we look for immigrants from outside.

the Government. All were worthy of resolutions, but lack oi revenue pre- vented anything being done. '

Mr. Saunders gave it as his opin- ion that there was too much poli- tics in this province. Business men, he thought should play a greater part in the administration oi the af- fairs of this province than they do.

Let the boards oi trade and the two parties get together and draw up some plan for raising taxes.

Until that is done, the govern- ment is in the unfortunate posi- tion of not being able to do any- thing to meet the terms oi even the most excellent resolutions.

The speaker then went on to stress the necessity oi bringing in British immigrants. After we have interested these in coming in our country ,we have some excellent lands for them. There is no reason

NEW MINISTRY SIIIIIRII IN

(Canadian Press) ST. JOHNS, Nfld. Aug. 16. — A new ministry was sworn in today by

I

It was conceived two years ago in Winnipeg, born later on at St. John; cut its teeth at Vancouver, and learned to walk. so to speak at thc last convention at Quebec.

But it is a lustry infant. It has 170' members boards, and it is a. case of “one board one vote" in ref- erenda. So that it is in a position to let the public know what business thinks.

He particularly congratulated thc convention on having largely solved the difficulty of_ securing amicable rimtions between Agricultural and Business Interests.

The great economic problems of the country arc by no means local.

(Here he told of how once a mayor of a western town had shown how each church was in its proper place.)

Turning to the question of emi- gration, Mr. Birks said the old country was turning out 600,000 boys a year of good stock, damned to the blind alleys. The, 1 problem stumps Canadian statesmanship. And it is not a local question.

This young child. The Federal Chamber oi‘ Commerce has been very fortunate in its nurse-as I'm in a dry province I won't call it aI wet nurse. In short, the child is very; fortunate in having Mr. Clarke to- shape its early days, and bring it to maturity.

Mr. Brownlee had invited the Fed- eral Chamber to hold its next con- vention in the west. If a represent- ative gathering from Quebec and the Mal-itilnes could be collected, the ex- ecutive was in favor oi accepting the invitatio .

In conclusion, the speaker wond- ered how many Canadians could see what the future held in store for their land. England sprang from an obscure country on the edge of things and dominated the world.

Today there are only three ex- panding races in the world-the Anglo Saxon, the Teutonic and the Japanese. And Canada lives between Japan and Great Britain. Then too. it Is a fact that the shortest ship- ping track between the Panama

Reports Denied by Medical Experts

(Canadian Press) .

PARIS. Aug. l6.—(A. P.) — Re- ports that poison had been found in the viscera of Captain Alfred Loew- enstein, the Belgian financier who was killed when he fell or stepped from an aeroplane 4,000 feet above the English Channel, were denoun- ced as "pure fantasies" today by ex- iperts who are analyzing tilc org- ans. The report was originally at- tributed to Dr. Paul in a despatch received a few days ago from Boul- ogne. He denied its authenticity and was joined in that denial by Dr. Kohn-Abrest, the latter the analyist appointed by the Bou- logne court. Both said that their work was not finished.

Enforcement 0f Liquor Laws Subject Of Conference

(Special lo The Guardian)

OTTAWA, 0nt., Aug. 16.-The enforcement of the liquor laws oi Ontario and co-operation of the Do- minion Government to that end within the scope of its jurisdiction were the subject of an interview oi over three hours here today be- tween Sir Henry Drayton, chairman of the Ontario liquor control board and Hon. W. M. Euler, Minister of National Revenue.

Matters affecting the sale of ii- quor within the Province were dealt with by the liquor control board while the Dominion Govemmenhs authority is over manufacture and export. The conference today was in consequence to the action of pro- vincial authorities against liquor interests on thc border towns and cities as bases of an ostentatious export trade bllt much of which by circuiting is alleged to be for do- mestic consumption.

We made some progress, Mr. Eul- er stated, at the cglncliusion of thc conference. There are some matters where points of law come in alld we are trying to ascertain just what can be done in a legal way to meet the situation. Upon one or two points I am getting opinion of the Justice Department.

Doubt arises as to how far regu- lative restrictions can be imposed. so long as the duty on liquor in bond is paid and other provisions of the law complied with.
