Lifeboats Rushed From
Toronto To Aid In Rescue Of Seven
' Stranded Men.
(C. P. By Guardi.a.n's Special Wire)
BAlRlRiIE, Ont., Jan. 8-Relatives
and friends kept vigil tonight on the wind-swept shores of Lake Simcoe, hoping for a let-down in a gale that prevented the rescue of seven fishermen adrift on ice does in sub-nero weather. While fires were burned on shone- as a signal to the drifting fishermen that help was arriving, lifeboats were being rushed from Toronto, 60 miles south, to be used in freeing the men.
one of the stranded fishermen is
S. V. Jones, 'I6-year-old resident of Oro Station, a village ll miles northeast of Barrie. His age has aroused the anxiety of friends and relatives who fear he will be un- able to withstand the rigors of the cold night on the lake.
Watchful eyes of residents of Oro Statrn and Hawkestone scanned the lake ice. The continumg strong north winds might further crack

Comment Favor- ably On Speech
(C. P. By Gu.\rdian's Special Win)
OTTAWA, Jan. 8-Hon. H. H.
Stevens, who resigned from the Bennett cabinet a few weeks ago said today he welcomed the Primo Mlniswrs Speech last night which sounded the opening gun in the election campaign.
The former minister said the
'speech was s recognition of the ex- istence of problems to be confront- ed. ln common with everyone, he looked for some action and said lt was unnecessary to walt beyond the comming session of Parliament to start lt.
J. E, Lawson, recently appointed
Dominion organizer of the Con- servative party branded the speech "a challenge to all the thinking people in Canada and indicates thc Prime Minister is fully in touch with modern thought."
Organization of the Conserv- ative party will be started at once. Lawson said.
KITCHENER.. Ont., Jan. 3--'l-Ion.
W. D. Euler, former Minister of National Revenue, commented to- day on last nights address by Prime Minister:
"I agree with Mr. Bennett that
drastic reforms are necessary, but cannot pass definite* opinion on his proposals until they are in concrete form," Hon- Mr. Euler said "lt is regrctable that he did not act sooner; some people who remem- ber his promises of 1930, will sus- pect that this is a,deathbed re- pentance-comlng, as it does, just before a. general election.”

ConscienceMoney To Railway
(Special to the Guardian)
MONTREAL, Jan. 4-In these
strange times some people have lost many things but apparently not their consciences. This is vouohed nn- by me fart that the treasurer of the Canadian Nation- al Railways has received a total of $1,114.85 in conscience money turn- ed into the railway during 1934 by persons wishing to make restitu- tion for certain wrongs committed. Frequently the remltter omits to state the exact. nature of the act which caused a troubled conscience and in such cases the railway con- siders the amount as belated pass- enger revenue and it is therefore credited oo that department.
Of the total amount oi *this
conscience money received from all parts of Canada during the past year th, largest single amount was 8800.00 in October last and the snallest that of 25 cents, also in October, these two items represent- ing the maximum and minimum individual amolmte ever received in my year.
Subsidiary lines of the Canadian
National Railways operating in the United States also have their lean and fat years as regards conscience money. llor instance, the central Vbrrnont, Railways conscience fund, usually quite siseable in years pest, waslnvedlastweeknombeinga complete blank when 05.00 was re- ceived frun one whose signature was on employee.

lndustry Overcrowded
With Mills Capable Of Enormous Output, Re- port Shows.
(C. P. By Guardllsfl lptshl IIB)
OETAWA, Jan. 8-If every flour
mill in Canada worked 24 hours a day, the combined output would be enough to supply the import re- quirements of the British Empire three times over and in most years, the entire world. This evidence of the enormous potential capacity of the Canadian flour industry was given to the Royal Commission on mass buying today at the outset of its investigation into milling and baking.
Too Many Mills
Canada has too many flour mills in, comparison to available export markets, was the effect of a report submitted by W. J, Peaker of Ottawa. Although fthe number of mills has fallen since 1919, there remains a. vast surplus capacity in the industry, due largely to the war-time and post-war boom days. Between 1919 and 1932, Canadian mills could have produced enough flour in excess of domestic and ex- port shipments' to supply every man, woman and child in the United States with two barrels or every Norwegian with 100 barrels.
The Canadian industry is dom-
inated by flve companies, the big five tes they are called-Lake of the Woods Milling Co. Ltd.; Maple Leaf Milling Company: Ogilvie Flour Mills; Robin Hood Flour Mills and Western Canada Flour Mills. In the lan five years, Osilvze and Western Canadh had net profits of $4,017,000 and $199,300 while Maple Leaf had s los of $5,- 303.2D0 and Lake of the Woods. $774,000. Peaker said the large loss by the Maple Leaf Company re- sulted, in part, from speculation in . Sifyill. \!!°l'_h€¢¢°5,ita.tcd.. adlustmmts in the capital structure.`
In the five-year period, Lake of
the Woods, Maple Leaf. Ogllvis and Westem Canada distributed $1,651,445 in preference dividends and $3,621,415 on common shares but they came largely from as. cumulated surpluses.
Subsidiary Biking Plants '
Some of the large companies, in
addition to milling flour have subsidiary baking plants, bag fae- torles. steamshlp lines and grain elevators, The income is lumped together, leading Peskcr to say: “'I'hey are in a position in some instances of being able to sell flour

Charles and Anne Lindbergh, pur- enls of the golden-haired boy whom Bruno Richard 1-iauptmann ls charged with kidnapping and kll- ling, bravely wld a tense and hushed courtroom today the tra- gic story of their ba.by's empty crib.
First, for dd minutes, the slight, brown-haired mother related what she knew of the day and night of March 1. 1982, when Baby Charles Al18U5’¢us Lindbergh was stolen from the Sourland Mountains home of his famous parents.
Once her eyes gleamed as though
with tears. but she did not lose her composure, as. ln low, clear tones. she said simply:
“I looked hastily at the be<l~and
found it to be empty."
Then as Hauptmonn, the stolid,

Tells Story Flrmlp'
Flrmly, the boyish alnnan told of
the quiet evening and then of the frantic rush to the baby's nursery; of the empty bed and the sinister kidnap note cn the window slll.
"I saw the appearance of the
room...the bed...and realized that something had gone wrong," he said.
Mrs. Lindbergh, pale and dressed
simply in black, faced Hauptmann, but did not look at him as the prisoner shifted occasionally ln his chair.
The defence did not cross-exam-
ine her.
Her. hulaand, on the witnem
stand, met the carpenters stone for a moment, Then each dropped his eyes.
Col. Lindbergh spoke in a clear.
firm voice. He was on the stand when court adjourned at 4:02 p. rn. The tones of his wife were less aud- ible, though clear enough for Su- preme Court Justice Thomas W. Trenchard. the _fury and most of the spectators to hear.

What mental anguish she con-
ceivably was enduring was con- cealed. In her manner at times was just a trace of restraint. She smiled. occasionally bit her lower lip, and for the most part sat erect
