igovernment had bonded the public Idcbt and thereby reduced interest fironi 6 to 4 per cent. The Infirmary. ll-lospitai for the insane, Jail and Ex- lperimental Farm and the Institution ‘of a Department of Agriculture were lmonuments to the Liberal administra- tion. His statenient that Mr. Stew- ,art had not stated one _thing his ‘party would do if elected was heartily applauded. He went into the ques- 'tions of Education and ' Transporta- tion at length and showed what the Liberals had done to improve existing conditions and in each case propound- ed a rcmedy to meet the conditions. in additional matters be would es- tablish municipal control as in other provinces and recited his efforts tu effect 3 remedy for transportation dif- lticuities. He commended the _ Car Ferry scheme and thought that Libe- rals and (`onservativcs' were in accord on that point hut suggested that the Borden Government reduce
,the existing three short haul rates at once`and chord a measure of relief
while other matters were pending. He 'thought the (‘onservati\'es shoud be ashamed to mention subsidy and ex- plained the Liberals' efforts to secure
‘more and thought the province had ,received its shfirc. He closed by su- 'licitating thc support of thc citizens.
DR. .IENKINS confined his spccch
to local matters and began by defin- ing the past government as an extra- vagant one and their public works as |a disgrace. i-le submitted examples
of extrnvagance such as cost of col- iiecting extra taxes, increase o in- terest since 1890, Quebec Battledelds contribution, Education Commission, Government l-louse, Experimental Farm, etc, and contending that the province had been sadly neglected in educational matters. School enroll- ments had deelined, there was B loss .in teacher’s bonuses and suliplcments
and the cost of education had been ii; creased. He siisgested agricultur education by way of demonstration to linducc intensified farming and techni- cal education for the cities and believ- ed that the industries of yrarl* 2150 could be revived by provisions being made for proper transportation facili- ties. The new Government proposed to raise therevenue and SYGD extrava- gance and waste. obtain an increased subsidy, receive compensation for the appropriation of the lands of the Dominion. He also asked for the support nf the voters on the third and would serve in the best interests of the City and Province if elected.He resumed his sent amid Conservative cheering.
Continued calls for Premier lilathle son brought that gentleman to _the 'front who stated that he was willinc ‘to retire in favor of n Liberal !D€Bk- ,to preserve proper rotation. hone of- _lei-ing, he proceeded to address the meeting. _

BOSTON, December Z6--With tile
coming trial of Rev. C. V. T. ,Riche- son, cbn.rgcd_ with the murder ui his former sweetheart, Miss 'Avis Linnell, less than two weeks a\~.'ay public interest in the case was in creased by to-day’s developments One of these developments was thc appearance of Rev. G. E. Horr, li. D., president of the Newton Theo- logical institution. where the accused clergyman prepared lor the pulpit, nf the office of District Attorney .lm eph if. Pelletier. F'or two hours Dr. Horr was closeted with the district attorney. Richeson is regaining his strength rapidly, as was shown hy the announcement that he was ai- iowed to walk about his cell for ii feiv minutes today.
That the government is earnest in
its intention to try Rev. Clarence \` T. Riclieson, on January 15tll, for the murder of his former sweet-heart Miss Avis Linnell, the music student of Hjfnnnis, was further shown to- day uhcn summouees were issued for 300 citizens of Sufiolk county to serve on the specicial jury panel. For a day or two after ’Ric'ucs<m had mutilated himself last week, there were rumors that counsel for the dc- fense would ask for a posipoiieiiient of the day of the trial, and thc Slim- monses were withheld until just hr fore the expiration of the ii-ual milf' for service. lt was statfil Y-0-dnl' that ilicheson`s recovery rfiniiniicil satisfactory.
During the day a petition was
filed for consideration by the incom- ing legislature asking for u new law permitting private trials of Coffs ii’ vniving the "decency and iiiiirais uf the community." and pfiiatiiig out that need of immediate action exists for the hearing of such case.-‘ in DU' ivate and the exclusion of the i>\\l>liC land the press. The petition was 'filed by Ralph Wardluw Uloat. 80 ,i-ittorney. The -legislature \\1@2i§ January 3rd, and tht-ro \\'-1\\l\l hff sufficient time before .lnmmry l5tii to enact such legislation.
