certificate of owner-quip, pflfpqflg‘ to have been signed by J, 5, 3m- derscn, former registrar of lhipp

at Parrsboro, N5. A document pur- porting to be a copy of the certif- icate of ownership was filed by Sen- ator 108m, as solicitor for Hatfield, st a hearing in Boston, witness told the court. The Senator, at the time, had said the original had been "mis- laid." but would be sent to the re- paration commissioner later. The alleged original reached the com- mission in an enclosing letter on which appeared the legal firm name of Logan and Smiley, Amherst, sta- ted Mr. Justice McDcugall. ‘

"If you had known the registry o! the vessel had been changed from Psrrsboro, N. 8., to Br‘ etcwn, Barbados. would you have accepted the certificate without further en- quiries?” Peter Counsel for the government, asked.

Witness replied in the negative. On the sworn written and oral evid- ence submitted to him that the “Gypsum Queen" had been struck by a torpedo off the Irish Coast in i915, he had considered any pn- sumption the schooner had been lost in a storm, due to the British Admiralty records containing no entry of the tcrpcdoing of the vol- sch-was rcbutted. he told-the court.

“Was the certificate 0d ownership important to you from the stand- point of registry of the vessel as distinct from ownership?" question- ed W. N. Tilley, Counsel for Logan.

No Other Begfltry

"I took it from the purported cer- tificate there had been no other registry," replied the former repar- ation commissions . He "might have” made enquiries relative to the “Gypsum Queen" from the last portofregistryifhehadknown the schooner hsd hsd any other port of registry, he chanced fur- ther.

The $71,000 government check issued to Hatfield was identified by Mr. Mulvey as former deputy cus- todian of alien enemy property. Checks issued to Welch and Alli- son, two members of the “Gypsum Queen" crew for their personal loss- es on the same claim, likewise were identified by Mr. Mulvcy. The mony paid to Hatfield in 193d be- longed to the Dominion of Canada and was paid out of the consolida- ted revenue fund. He admitted, though, this fund been slig- mented since 1932 b the deposit of more than $10,000,000 reparation money received from Germany.

Hudson's Bay Co. Led Off Yesterday With 25,000 Skins - En‘ com-aging C a b l e News Received.

Cables state that a large number of buy- ers have been present in the Com- pany‘s warehouse viewing the skins on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week. They are present from London, Belgium, Franco and Italy. and great inter- est is being taken in the collection which is the largest the Hudson's Be/y Company have ever shown. Last evening Messrs. McLure and MacKinnon. who represent the Hudson's Bay Company in this Province, received the following

Other brokers will have sev- eral thousands more. mflklfll! I grand total on the Iondon sale of over 80.000 pelts.

The silver fox auction at Mon-

tresl which started yesterday has upwards of 13.000 Delis. and The Guardian understands the New York sale has the usual large num- ber for January.

The reason for the large offer- ings mentioned is attributed to the fact that private buyers have not been operating to anything like the extent this season in Canada, Un- (tcd States or Europe that they have done in past years.

The success of the present auc-

tion saies in Lcndon will be watched with the greatest interest by all our fox flannel-s. because if the market. can absorb the great qusnttiies which are offered at res- sonably good prices, it will be an

Will Prove Haaptmann Innocent

(A. P. By Guardian's Spsehl Wire)

FmlilldINUIDN, N. J., Jan. ‘l. Bruno Richard Hauptznannk bat- tery ol lawyers said tonight they had won a "great victory."

“The day was all ours," Edward J. Reilly, chief of the defence, ob- served as he left the court house alter one of the moat intensive skirmishes of the trial. -

Reilly reiterated that he intended naming on ‘Thursday in court "the four persons who committed the Lindbergh baby murder."

“l-lsuptmanxi," he remarked, "cer- tainly will not be among them. In fact, Huuptmann is r‘ ‘ ‘ _,, in- nocent of any part in either the murder here or the extortion charge on which he has been indicted in the Bronx. We are going to win both cases."

The defence felt it lost nothing

and even gained a little through the testimony of Betty- Gow, Lind- bergh nursema-id. "She was a very fine witness for the defence," Reilly observed, "and it was mighty thoughtful of the prosecution to pay her fare and a substantial salary for her services, which we seem to have usurped."

Ilior over fifty years Professor Earle wu the organist of.’ St. Paul's Church, the foundation of whose splendid choral organization was laid under his mstzuction.

Helping the Fan-mere

As a supplementary measure to the Farmers Creditors Arrange- ment Act, amendments to the Farm Loan Act were adopted st the last session of Parliament to enable the board to advance fur- ther agricultural credits. In recog- nition of the national importance of agriculture Parliament would be asked to further facilitate the farmer in securing capital st low rates through the loan board, Mr. Bennett declared.

Reorganization of the civil serv- ice had already started in the Finance Department, Mir. Bennett said. The next step. to be taken within a few weeks, would be creation of the Department of Communications, "to ensure s greater degree of efficiency in the nation's wire and wireless com- municstions."

Serving economic interests the Economic Council of Canada would "examine and collate economic data, and receive and pass upon proposals based upon it."

The Marketing Act

The Natural Products Marketing Act had received applications from every province, Mr. Bennett ssid. There had been "s vicious st- tempt" to discredit it because oi its alleged interference with in- dividual liberty. But compulsion was not its controlling feature. Persuasion was the first method adopted.

Not wishing to anticipate the report of the mass buying com- mission Mr. Bennett declared that whatever were its recommendations he would ask Parliament to act in accordance with them,
