(U. P. By Gilrihlfl Special WIN)

MDNTREAL, Dec. 27. - Arraigrr-

ment was made here today of eight more of the 61 persons accused of conspiracy to evade payment of cuc- toms duties of more than $5.000.000 cn illegal liquor shipments and, with 43 co-accused already formally charged they now await the prelim- inary hearing tentatively set for Jan. il.

F. A. Lindsay, Victoria, was re-

leased on parole for a week after Judge Jules Desmarals ordered him to furnish $5,000 cash deposit bail or surety for $10,000 to guarantee his appearance. The other seven, all ldcritimers, were released on posting bail of 3400 each.

They were Major MacKinnon and

A- MacKinnon, Grand Tracadie; Ray Clarke. Quccrrs County; ciovls Perry. iummsrcide; Reginald Mac- Donald And Joseph MacDonald, An- nandale, and Albert Quigley, Bt. Pcter’| Hill, Prince Edward Island.

When the bsilqucstion arose for tlil lovin Prince Edward Islanders, Joan J. Pcnvcrnc, special prosecutor for the Dominion Government, tholilglrt the figure should be of $100 cash bail or two bonds g_f___§§,¥9_each. lk told thc Jlldgo accuse aol not surrendered voluntarily cc had been suggested and it had been necessary to send a detail of Royal Canadian Mounted Police to brilll them back

leprcccnt Acculcd

J. J. Johnston, K.O., who with J.

O. C. Campbell, both of Charlotte- town, represented accused said in rebuttal: "I should like to point out that thelc mcn are all here. There hcl been no attempt to escape ser- vice. Thccc men, who are mostly young. have shown no unwillingness to appear before thc tribunal They were acting under advice and insis- ted on their right to be arrested on Prince Edward Island-advice IIVGD after due consideration." Continuing, the P. E. I. lawyer

thought he should explain to the Judge “that wc are rather on the fringe of things down there. in a- vcry isolated position, We have a prohibition law, so that it seems that we should have a few bootleggers among our local characters. But my' clients arc sure that they have no outside contacts. Things are far from prosperous, we are only getting 10 cents for our potatoes. I mention these thing! in thc hope Your Honor may be abic to arrange for a reason- able cash bell."

Mr. Johnston feared that if high

bail were asked his clients would have to go to ,irill and he recalled reductions in the original bail de-

manded byi tho prosecution had been made in e cases of other Maritim- crs. Judge Desmarals agreed the holiday season was not one during which he cared to send suspects to

jail.

John, are expected to appear in Court tomorrow.

Unrevised figures compiled by

"These increases." thc minister

continued, "are most satisfactory, particularly the gain in landed value. which not only meant more 'money in the flshermen's pockets but reflected some improvement in prices and indicated more prom- ising prcspects for the fishermen for the future."

27-Sixteen men were killed and 48 iniured, four perhaps fatally, by tho explosion today of a locomotive hauling a train in which 300 miners were riding to work.

The terrific blast occurred

just as the morning sun pccpcd over the mountains into this little mining community.

It literally shook the isolated

settlement and when the great barrage of ccccping steam had cleared from the wreckage the dead md dying icy sprawled over nn_area of more than 100 yards.

The wreckage of the train

cluttered the narrow rlght»cf- way. making the progress of rescuers difficult. Fifteen of the miners were killed almost in- stantly nnd a 16th died in hos- pital late today.

Tonight. frantic mothers and

wives kept’ vigil at the morgue and hospitals in nearby Mont- gomery, to which the dead and injured were rushed, and child- ren cried in their mining homes for fathers who did not return.

Both federal and company
