The final sitting of the Royal Customs Commission was automatic with the conclusion of the Charlot-| tetown sitting here yesterday. Al feature of yesterday's sitting apart| from the evidence of - officials, was, the examination of confessed or‘ suspected rum-runners and several from whom liquor had been seized. One of the latter on being asked by Mr. Law‘. a counsel for the Conlmls- slon, where he got the whiske,, stat- ed that "he, didn't know where he got it." Capt. Ed. Dicks informed the Commission that the rum run- ning business is not profitable, and any one connected with it declaring otherwise was foolish. One Com- sioner commenting on this fact stated “That there seems to be s. lot of fools connected with the busi- ness."

Mr. Norman McLeod, connected with the Office of the Prohibition Commission presented statements

(By British ‘United Press)

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa. July 7. —A human fiend in life, he lay grim and ‘horrible in death. a little way out from Charleston. along the Volksrust Road.

Strong men, afraid and shudder- ing, made long detpurs to avoid the dreaded spot. Always it will be lcmemb ed, its sinister reputation will go down through succeeding ages. .

There were no mourners, for those who might have mourned him he had killed; and the place where he lies buried is waste and barren and avoided.

By this time the alarm had brought a new force of police on Swart‘s track, and he was pursued from Charlcstown along the Volks- rilst road. There was some long- diltance sniping and then the man was seen to dismount.

The police drew in cautiously and found Swart pillowed on his wide- brimmed hat, with a self-inflicted pistol wound in his head.

They say h‘e was man, but devil. And that is why they had to get

Points Cleared up re Crossing Regulations

(Special to the Guardian) WASHINGTON, July 'l. -— The recent negotiations between the Canadian legation and the United States Department oi.’ ‘Immigration have been clearing up some points; in the crossing regulations. The regulations were the subject of de- bate when the labor debt opposed‘ the regulations affecting Cana- dians living in the dominion and working on the United States side of the border.

One important point is the status of Canadians who comply with the, head tax and visa regulations,‘ thereby qualifying technically as immigrants to the United States. '

Immigration experts have ruled

' that these commuters continue in-

definitely to enjoy the border cross- ing prlviiege without payment of fees or renewal of passports, except that periodical inspection is pro- posed of, commuters permits, prob- ably every month.

Reduce Term Of Military Service

(Special to the Guardian) PARIS, July 7. -—By unanimous vote the Chamber of Deputies today

weeks ago to reduce the term of military service in France to ~12 months. The article of the mili- tary reorganization bill which stip- ulates this reduction is, of course, only a part of the whole fabric and today's decision will not be definite until the whole reorganized scheme has been adopted. There ls however the likelihood that the bill as at present framed will be finally passed before the end of the session and will in the fall receive “approval of the Senate.

Frenchmen will under the new law be liable Vfor military service for 28 years divided as follows: ac- tive service one year. available for service three years, first reserve six- teen years, ‘second reserve eight years.

EXPERTSCONFER IN PRIVATE

Greatest Secrecy is Being Observed by

- Delegates From Three Countries.

(Canadian Press) GIDNIEWA, Jilly 7 — Failure to surmount 'llle (llfflculties at the tripartite naval conference engen- dered a pessimistic atmosphere hole and the feeling is gaining ground that the negotiations will result in a considerable increase in naval conslnuciion in the United States and Japan instead of a re- duction in nnvnl cflllstruciion,

The greatest secrecy is being ob- served by the delegates from the three countries regarding prolong~ ed private conversations by the heads of the delegations on the cruiser plohlem, but apparently ‘the difficulties. are not. yet. removed. The American and Japanese rep- resenlatlves have had to refer the ‘miltler to their governments. Meanwhile some of the British naval experts are conferring Dfl‘ valely wilh American naval ex- erts, though no formal meeting of llle technical committee has yel ‘been fixed.
