SIIDDEN DEAIH DE M R. EDWARD HACNEEI. P-N.

The sudden death of Mr. Edward

Hackett, briefly announced ill Satur- day m0l'lling’s Guardian, came as a distinct shock to ills muny friends throughout the province. Few men in public life in the province we-rc better knownund none more highly esteemed. He was borll in Tignish on July 26th, 1842. As a young man he carried on a mercantile business in Tiguish and in 1876 began ills poll- tical career having becu elected a member of the Pre-vinciul Legislature- for the First District of Prince (loun- ty. After representing' his consti- tuency for two sessions he wus in 1878 elected to the House of Conlnlons as the representative c-` West Prince and was re-elected in 1882. As it re-` presentative both ill the provincial and Federal purlinmenis llc was just- ly reizurded as one of tile' Islands fore- most public men. lie was un effec- tive and graceful plotforln spcakcr, kept in constant touch with his con- stituents and reprcsentlsli tllem faith- fully and fearlessly. After his re- tirement from the political arena ho was appointed inspector of Fisheries n position which he held for several years. February 16, 1912 herwas' afl- pointed Postmaster at Charlottetown the duties of which he performed with satisfaction to the public and with cre- dit to himself. On the day precedillg his death he was at his dcsk all day, as he had been practically without a break since his appoilltlnent. He retired about 9 o'clock :lud two hours later Mrs. Desmond, nl whose home he resided, heard some lluusual sounds in his room. Going in she found him unconscious and dying. She immediately summoned Dr. McMillan and Rev. Maurice McDonald. but oll` their arrival he was Leyc-nd llulllun aid. Ho never regained conscious- ness and passed awny about eleven o‘clock.

His wife predeceased him by about

20 years. There are left to mourn one daughter, Mrs. Wheelock Fit- gerald, of Montreal, one son John A., in Tlgnish and two sons in the United States.

The bodywas taken to Tlgnlsh by

the three g’clock train Saturday after- noon where lt lies at the home of his sons, Mr. John A. Hackett and whence- tlle funeral will take place on Tuesday. The pall-bearers attending the remo- val of the body to the Rail- way Station were: ‘Sir Charles Dalton, Mr. J. F. Whcar, Mr. J. McCnrey, Mr. J. M. Hllghes, Mr. F. H. Gill and Mr. D. J. McDonald.

To the bereaved relatives and

friends The Guardian extends deepest sympathy.

DRINC ADDIII PEACE

Varying Opinions in New York Regarding Wilson’s iiote.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Opinions

here concerning the advisability and possible effect of President Wilson’s note to the be-lligercnt governments were found to differ, with a prepon- derance of judgment endorsing Mr. Wilson‘s action and seeing in it ulti- mate good, says Tho Times. Al- most no one interviewed believed that the note would bring about immediate peace, but that it would hasten the coming of peace, was the belief of many. There were those, however. who shaply criticised thc President, and thought his ilppcai unfair to tile cullse of thc Allies.

Mayor Mitchell spoke out strongly

in endorsement of ihe Preside-nt.

“We have ull believed," he said,

"that this country, when the mom- ent came, could bo of service in pav- ing the wuy to pence ilcgctiutiolls. 'l‘llc Presldellt is curl-yillg out that

policy lin we ull ilopcd and expected he wou ll. Wo ull feel thai. the sug- gestion is a very laudable one, and it is possible that it may result in finding the basis for negotiations and that, of course, everyone will indorse."

NO ONE WORRIED

I OVER PEACE PROPOSALS.

(Canadian Press Despatch.)

Somewhere in_ France, Dec. 21.-

So fur as one can see, Germany’s peace poposals have had little effect here.

When the German wireless gave

i_ilo British army its first intlmntlon of the nature of the Kaisel"s much- heralded Christmas news to his sub- jects, everybody was liilldly curious.

“What’s his game?" was the query

frequently on the lips of officers and men. Nowhere- was there ally other emotion than curiosity expres- sed. This is the feeling of the whole army.

Nobody takes the proposition ser-

iously. The privates read bulletins posted for their benefit at various encampments, and then turned and walked away. unconcernell. lt was plain they classed it with the pre- vlous “stunts of a nlun wllo believes himself in le-agua with the Almighty. starting and stopping wars at will."

WHY THIS SUDDEN STEP?

Others consider it "unotilefr Ger-

man hluff"-taking the position that if Germany is able to march on from victory to victory. as stated by Chan- cellor von Bethmann-Holiweg, why all this sudden nlagnanimity? All those here believe there's a "nigger in the woodpile". somewhere.

No demonstrations in the German

trenches have so fel' been reported. It appears that the German troops themselves are little inclined to ju- bilance over their Emperor's “Christ- mas gift." I-lltherto at such mile- stones of the war as the fall of Warsaw, the- entrance into the liste of Bulgaria, Turkey and other na- tions, the German troops shouted their opinions across No Msn'-s Land and exhibited placards or threw notes across to the French and British trenches. ~

All is now changed. Possibly it is to be attributed to a never ceasing rain of British shells, which for some time now have been bursting voi- cano-like about them. killing. maim- lng and burying the Germans in the mud of their trenches.

If peace seems imminent to Ger-

many, lt looks quite the contrary from this side of the line. England seems prepared t o fight for ever, _judging by evidences perfectly vis- sible on all sides. The- mountains of munitions are still growing; the army is becoming bigger and bigger.

I INIIUESI DN DEAIH DE CR. IDHN P. NDDRE

In connection with the regrettable

death of Gunner John P. Moore, ro_col'ded else-where', and owing to the peculiar circumstances attending it, it was deemed advisable' to hold _ an inquest. Accordingly 'Phe Coroner. Lieut. col . H. D. Johnson, M. D., directed Col. S. R. Jenkins to make an autopsy. Colonel Jenkins assisted by Doctors Ross and Dewar did so and the body was viewed by the following jurors: Benjamin Carter, foreman; Thomas McMillan, John McLeod, Andrew Hen- n`e8sey, Robert Dewar, Wnl. Moran,

George Scantiebury.

Dr. Ross was the first witness. He

testified that at the request of lLleut. Col. Jenkins, he administered an an- uer-thetic to the deceased with the usual care and after making the usual examination of the patient. He had given the patient a small quantity of chloroform for five or six millu-tes by the drop method and the- usual mask. He had just changed the anaesthetic to ether, as is customary. when the stage- of excitement is subslding. Tile portion; stopped breutlliilg and the heh-rt stopped boating. Every method of resuscitation was employed for fifty minutes. Drs. Jenkins and De- war taking part. All efforts were fruitless. Asked what he considered the cause' of death, Dr. Ross said, it was due to paralysis of the respira-

tory and cardiac centres.

Lt. Cdl. Jenkins was the next

witness. His' evidence with reference .to the death and the efforts at res- uscitation corroborated that of Dr. Ross-. He further testified as to the findings at the autopsy. The pleura at the ape-x and the baseof the left lung was adherent to the chest wall. There were also considerable adhe- sions on the right lung, over the great- er part of the lung. On opening the pcricalwliwm, the heart seemed slight- ly enlarged, and the right side in col- lapse and empty. There was no blood in either cavity; the' right side was dilated and the walls thinner than' normal. The liver was larger than normal, e-specially the le'i‘t lobe. Both kidneys were larger than normal and the right kidney sllightly flbruous, the cortex thinner than usual and' the capsule adherent. Tile left kidney also -showed siluilur changes out of the normal, but in a lesser degree. The walls of the stolmacll we-l'e tlllckened and its muscous membrane markedly so and congested. Asked as to the cause of death, he- agreed with Dr. Ross, that it was due to paralysis of the respiratory and cardiac centres. caused primarily by the annestlle-tic, the abnormal conllition of the lungs. kidneys, stomach. uild especially .the

heart be~lng contributing causes.

Dr. Dewar's evidence was essen-

tiailly the same as that of the other

two doctors.

Miss Turner, Lady- Superintendent. -

of the P. 1E. i. Hospital and Miss Ho- ward, one of the nurses, also gave- evldellce as to llis~condition on enter- ing the hospital. }ie appeared to be in ordinary health, being somewhat ner- vous. as is usually the case with patients about to undergo an opera-

tion. -

Major Leigh and Lieut. Davison

gave evidence as to his joining the draft of the Fifth Siege Battery last September and to his general con- duct which was Hood.

The jury returned the f0lIOWl\1R

verdict: "That, John P. Moore came” to his death on the 23rd day of De-

cember, 1916. at _thi P. E. Island Hos- pital whlle under he administration of an anaesthetlc, administered in the usual form."
