Aside from this decision, no authoritative evidence has turned up to indicate the course oi the proceedings, and it indicat- ed the fundamental differences be- tween the various gruops will have to be ,proached gradually.

Today they picked out their loved ones by such marks of identity as rings, teeth Illlingrifl |parts oi clothing. length oi finger- V nails-Jor in most cases the char-' acteristics of facial appearance and hair had been destroyed by fire. Despite utmost efforts of morgue authorities two men remained un- claimed.

OTTAWA. June l0—(l3y The Canadian Presn-Tlie Government will consider suggestions that for- mal openings of both the Welland Ship Canal and the Port at Chur- chill be held this summer at which delegates to the Imperial Confer- ence would participate. Hon. R. J. Manion. Minister of Railways re- turned over the week-end from a trip to the Pacific Coast.

“The people of the three Prairie Provinces are optimistic that there will be excellent crops this year." the Minister stated. "The crops everywhere I went looked wonder- ful and even with the low prices the people in all three provinces are lookng forward with confidence. Unless something unexpected hap- pens they look for one of the best crops in years."

PREPARING FUR

BUNVENTIUN

By Ken Clark Canadian Press Staff Writer

CHICAGO, Ill., June ltl—-Demo- crats are arrivng here to» quarrel about who shall be their nominee for President and what stand the party will take on prohibition. The national convention does not open until June 27, but already the ad- vance guards of tho Franklin D. Roosevelt and Alfred E. Smith fac- tions are encampcd in hotels along the Lake Michigan front.

The past week has seen the gen- eral situation clarified by the Re- publican formality oi endorsing President Herbert Hoover and all his policies past and future. The Democrats are confronted by a solid if dlspirited phalanx headed up in Hooverism pure and simple. Because of the obvious lock-step gloom the Republican convention observers are convinced the Demo- cratic party has not had such a chance of seizing control since the days 0i’ Wilson. They also suspect it will muff the opportunity. Governor Roosevelt of New York,- the Liberal candidate for the Dem- ocratlc nomination, had about 660 sure vote: on the first ballot. about 150 short oi the necessary two-thirds. The remainder are divided among half a dozen can- didates.

The Democrats will fight among themselves. They will fight as to their nominee. Former Governor Alfred E. Smith, representing now

probably averted a triple tragedy.

MONTREAL, June l9.—-“'I‘he new British tariff has created an unprecedented demand for Canad- ian apples,’ was the statement made on his arrival here yesterday on the Canadian Pacific Liner, Duchpss of Richmond by J. Forsyth Smith. Canadian Government fruit nuns issioner to Great Britain.

"This demand is not only for the boxed British Columbia apples but for barnlled apples from all parts oi Canada." he said. "Last year's buy within the Empire campaign of the British marketing board started an appreciable demand for the Dominica's products and the new tariff provisions have accen- tuated this to a remarkable de- new.

the ultra-wet, Conservative wing, has already by inference charac- terized Roosevelt as a demagogue. His proposition that war debts should be reduced and eliminated on the basis of trade dickers has met with a good deal oi qualified approval throughout the country. Incidentally the Rcpublcnns said nothing at all about war debts and the inference is that if President Hoover were re-electod lie would be in a position to do something about them.
