Marchers Begin To Leave London
LONDON, Nov. Ii-Aftcr the first contingents of the 2,000 "hunger marchers" who swarmed into Lon- don last week from all parts of the United Kingdom were started homeward tonight, the mystery of what happened to their petition purportedly bearing 1,000,000 names was solved.
The petition demanding aboli- tion of the means test, which lim- its dole beneficiaries and which never reached the House of Com- mons as. was ‘ ‘ended, was con- fiscated by police when they learn- ed it had been checked in the Charillg Cross railway station.
Three men presented a check at the station for the bundle to- night and seemed angry when told it had been given to police. The man were informed they would have to make their protest to rall- way authorities.
When a deputation of the march- ers’ loaders-those left after ssv- eral were jalled-found their way to the House of Commons blocked by police last night and by the worst of four disturbances since their arrival in the capital, they turned in the petition bundle at the station, just as if it were a coat or bag. They received an ordinary receipt in exchange for it. . '
Tho police, making inquiries at the , discovered what had been done and secured the petition after making a request to railway authorities.
The only disturbance involving the marchers was one in which they denied sll responsibility.

Mamtsinlns their Opposition to the last, Lib- erals enlisted two Independents and four Laborites in voting against the treaty. Scores of men and women wen turned sway from the galler- ies when Premier R. B. Bennett rose to close the debate. He plead- ed for a fair and honest trial for tho agreement, "which will give Canadian producers free entry lute the markets of 40,000,000 people." and he accused the Liberals, pa!" iicularly Rt. Hon. McKmoe Kins of betraying and sbarldorfng the time-honored party policy of ‘fos- tering Empire trade through tariff preferences.
The six Progressives who sup- ported the treaty were: 'D. M. Kon- ncdy, Peace River Alfred Speak-

Dressed in a grey-striped morn- ins coat. his desk littered with books, clippings and notes, Premier Bennett kept his followers in al- most continuous applause for an hour and a half. He lost no time in carryins the fisht to the Lib- erals. He accused them of voting blindly and bitterly against the treaty and of following their lead- er who was motivated by “spleen" and "wounded pride and vanity." Quoting from official records, the Prime Minister accused Mr. King of opposing the very Empire trade plan he welcomed in i828 at an lImpex-ial conference in London.

HALIFAX, N. S., Nov. 3-in- specbor James P. Blakeney, of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police was acquitted-of conspiring to in- Vcito crime by Magistrate J. L. iBarnhili today. Inspector Blakency "had been tried before the magis- trate on information sworn out by- Mrs. Annie Freckleton, mother ofI Gerald Freckloton, who was killed in the frustrated holdup at the Royal Bank's Shubenacadie branch last August. The prosecution charged the Inspector, through pro- viding a oar and expenses for Ed- son Boutilier, who accompanied Frcckloton to Shubenmcadie and was " elf wounded, had con- spired in the crime itself.
Boutilier was acting as a special agent cf the police, and his evid- ence played a part in sending Sid- ney Refuse to penitentiary under a four year sentence for conspiracy.
Magistrate Barnhill said he would fyle a written decision to- morrow. In the meantime he ex- pressed the belief to Blakeney that "you used what you considered to be your best Judgment in the en- forcoment of law and order."

n Final
Returns Of Literary Digests Nation-Wide Poll.
Roosevelt leads in forty-one States with a total popular vote of approximately 3 to 2 over Hoov- er ln the final returns of The Lit- erary Dlgest/s nation-wide poll, which is said to represent the larg- l est number of votes in any Pres- idential Poll ever conducted, ac- cording to to-morrows issue of the magazine.
A grand total of 3,064,407 ballots were returned and tabulated. Of these 1,715,789, or 55.99 per cent are for Roosevelt, 1,150,398, or 37.53 per cent voted for Hoover and 148,079,. or 4334 per cent registered their sentiments for Thomas. ‘
Hoover shows e. slight gain from the 37.33 per cent of the total vote which he had in the semifinal re- turns and the 37.19 per cent for him in the quarter-final returns, which latter tabulation was the
lead in the seven States of Maine, Vermont, Now Hampshire, Massa- chusetts, Rhode Island, Connecti- cut and New Jersey.
Roosevelt leads his Republican rival in all oi tho other forty-one
States. A division of the vote by an El- ectoral College apportionment
would give Roosevelt 474 votes to Hoover's 67.
The Literary Digest editorially concedes the possibility that Roose- velt may carry five of the States in which Hoover leads in the final tabulation. It is stated that in the 1928 poll Rhoda Island and Massa- chusetts were indicated as Hoover States but were carried by Smith in the election. An analysis of the present vote, it is shown, reveals that ballots have not been voted in adequate quantity by Democratic
