anarchists who in spcecll or by pub- ‘force and the burning of the houses
lication advocate crime and defiance
of the law. lf there is no criminal
law under which the authorities can
act, the President will-ask Congress
to enact such a law. He has culled
the attention of the Department of
Justice to the matter and has asked
for recolnmendations on which to
base a re1Jort to Congress. '-
This decision is the outcome of a
coinmullcation from Mayor McBride,
of Paterson, requesting the President
to use -his authority to suppress La
Questionc Sociale, an anarchist pub-
lication, sent through the mails to
all parts of the country. The Mayor
yesterday received a copy of the
l’resident's letter to the Department
of private citizens. The preaching of
'murder and arson, if it is not al-
ready forbidden by law, should be
forbidden. ,

Two very enthusiastic meetings
were held-one in the afternoon ann
one in the evening.
After the opening of the .'convcn.
tion, and the usual routine, the rc.
ports of the Provincial Prohibition
Inspectors were read, showing that
the law was being well enforced in
their territory of Queen’s and Prince
County. No- other inspectors were
made regarding the ineflectéveness of
the inspectors for King's ounty.
Addresses were made on the pre-
sent condition of affairs by R. H.
McDonald, St. Eleanor's; Hon. J. M_

Rev. H. E. Thomas, L. U. Fowler,
C. W. Crosby, Bonshaw, E. D. Fra-
ser und many others.
The following resolutions were
passed :-
lst. That this Alliance is of the
opinion that one inspector in each
county would be more in the interest
of Temperance work, provided a suf-
ficient salary be given to enable
them to devote their whole time to
the work.
Znd. In view of the gross abuse of
the la_w on the part of many doc-
tors, in giving prescriptions for pro-
fesscdly medicinal purposes the in-
spectors ure stongly, urged to put
the law in force wherever there are
plain cases of its violation. '
3rd. That this Alliance places it-
present. Serious complaints vwerqi
self on record as opposed to the ex-
istence of clubs where liquor is dis-
penscd giving as they do a privilege
to li class, and being most perlnici-
ous in their effect on young men and
exerting a baneful influence on the
community.
Whereas petitions nre circulated
from time to time to secure the lib-
eration of convicted liquor sellers
and the prerogative ofthe Lieutenant
Governor invoked to this end the
Alliance wish to record their strong
disapproval of such proceedings as
it is in the interests of _lusticc that
the penalties of the law be carried
out without fear or favor.
Whereas vendors who were not af.
all asked for or needed have been ap-
pointed in Prince and Queen's Coun-
ties and whereas their dismissal has
been frequently asked for in Piince
County at least; and whereas one of
the vendors of Prince Co.,, Angus
McDonald, was to-day convicted by
Stipendiary McQuarrie of violating
the conditions of his license by vend
ing liquor for beverage purposes and
without prescription; Therefore Res-
olved that the inlmeclate dismissal
of the said guilty vendor he demand-
ed of the Govegpment.

READING, Pa., March 30-The Rev.
Marvin H. Stettler, one ofthe best
known Lutheran clergyrnen in Pen-
nsylvania, was arrested this after-
noon on a charge of slander preferred
by Jeremiah Werner, of Mohnsville.
This is the sequel of the funeral of
Mrs. Werner, his wife, which took
place in St. John’s Lutheran Church
last Sunday.
The Rev. Mr. Stettler preached the
funeral sermon, during which he is
said to have referred to Mr. Werner
as a msn with a heart of stone,show-
ing n`o signs of grief. Mr. Werner
alleges that the pastor followed this
up with remarks such as these.
"This man knocked his wife down
so that she fell to the floor, the
week before she was taken ill. He
did not furnish her with clothing and
shoes fit to go in church. See him
as he sits unmoved with no feeling in
the presence of the body of his help-
muh..
Magistrate Miller issued tix war-
rant for the pastor’s arrest, and he
gave S500 bail for hearing _on Easter
Monday. Mr. Werner is twenty-five
years of age and his wife ‘was
twenty-three. He said today that he
wanted the case given the widest
publicity, and he feels that he was
unjustly abused in the presence of
fully live hundred people.

According to Dean Mahoney,n very
mistaken view was got abroad
through the papers of how the new
law will adect mixed marriages.
"It has been stated," he said"that
there will be no more mixed mar-
riages.This is entirely incorrect. The
power of the bishop will be exactly
the same,after the law has gone into
affect as in the past. 'lhe bishop will
have the same power to grant dis-

differences have occurred in the Trans-

At a meeting which took place on the
veldt between the Prime Minister and
most of the leading farmers of the
Pretoria district, the audience made
no secret of their dissatisfaction with
the attitude of the government to-
wards the forthcoming Customs Con-
ference-namely to preserve the ex-
isting fiscal union as a step on the
road to the political union of South
Africa. '
Several heated speeches were made,
all strongly urging protection in the
Transvnnl against the neighboring
States, "such as had existed before
the war." A good deal was said,too,
to the effect that the government no
longer listened to the people as Kru-
ger (Ad, and that it did not represent
their will; rested with the people to
turn hiln out of office. Dealing with
the cry of Protection, the Premier
showed a, good deal of patience and
tenacity, demonstrating the extravag-
auce and short,sighted folly of erect-
ing a ring fence round the Trunsvaal,
and made it perfectly clear that the
government had no intention of giv-
ing way.
