a i Astonihes House of Lordsby His Frank- ness in Reply to La- bor Attacks Over Sir Leo Money Case

LONDON, July flit-The Earl of Birkenhead has once more aston- ished the dignified House of lords and the newspapers by his forceful frankness.

What is described by most of the press as a remarkable defence of the police force over the Si:- Leo Money case is being given the fullest pub- licity because of the manner in which he dealt with Sir Leo's po- sition. Replying to labor attacks on‘ police methods. he said he found it necessary to speak plainly. |

He pointed out that if an elderly man takes a young girl, thirty years younger than himself, to lunch at a restaurant in Soho, the girl not be- longing to the same class, and not

With reference to the volume oi the tourist traffic in Prince Edward Island this summon-headquarters of the Publicity Association state that many have come here. But they stay only a. short time. Many soon return to New Brunswick - and. in fact, that Province is getting a

< larger share of the tourist traffic

this year in proportion than are the other two Maritime Provinces.

There are suflicient physical ob- stacles to prevent tourists from coming to the Island without addinS to them man made restrictions in the shape of irksome and unreason- able laws, say tourist headquarters. Thus, a large number oi motor cars have been turned back at Tormen- tine because their owners possessed small dogs. which they were taking with them on their tour.

These are not now allowed to enter the province, as the Provincial Government has barred them by reason of its fear of a Rabies epi- demic. The tourists, made to leave their animals in charge oi anyone at Cape Tormentine. have cancelled their trip to this province.

Now, ‘is is not merely the loss of these visitors that matters. They become knockers, not boosters of this province.

If the Provincial Government has a right to prevent dogs from enter- ing t c province. they have a right to pro ‘bit the importation of other animals. One of tho objects of Con- federation was to break down barriers of trade by the removal of sectional prejudice.

This action of the Government is clearly unconstitutional. The Domin- ion Government alone has the right to establish quarantine regulations

Canada, or, in case of epidemics, be- tween difierent parts of Canada, under the provisions of Cap. 75. Revised statutes of Canada. "An act respecting infectious or contagious diseases of Animals," which reads: “The Minister may, from time w time prohibit the importation o;- introduction into Canada. or any part thereof, or into any particular parts thereof oi’ animals. or of fiesh. hides. hoefs, horns or any other parts of animals, or of hay, straw, fodder or other articles, either gen- erally or from any places named in the order for such period_ as he deems to b_e necessary for the pur- pose of preventing the introduction of any contagious or infectious dis- eases among animals into Canada." So far as the Provincial Govern- ment is concerned, they have no jurisdiction. nor have the railway the right to carry out any such pro- vincial order.

Then the Sunday closing of res- taurants, and, generally speaking the restaurant by-law have ad- vcrsely affected the work of the Tourist Association.

The last example of vexations imposed on visitors by the operation of this law was that of- the 300 New Glasgow excursionists who visited here recently on Sunday, coming on the S. S. "lfochclaga." They were unable to buy Ice Cream, or even a glass of milk for their children! Then, too there is the annoying manner in which the Liquor Pro- hibition Act is enforced.

"Only part of the recommendat- ions have been fulfilled," the Con- servative leader declared in discus- sing the Duncan Report on Mari- time Rlghts. “Those recommenda- tions must be implemented in full and there must be a proper realiza- tion of the importance of the dev- elopment of the great fisheries at your door.

The United States protected their fishing industry and Canadian fish- ermen should likewise be encourag- ed and protected, he said. I

It was a pleasure, she declared. to visit the south shore of Nova Scotia, ‘and meet people who had elected so young and able a parliament repre- sentative as W. G. Ernst, the sitting member.

"Nova Scotia has a paternal in- terest in our new Conservative leader," Mr. Ernst declared, when called upon. He alluded to the ef- forts made by Mr. Bennett result- ing in the tabling of the report of Commissioner Friel on Canadian reparations towards the end of last session. These repertion claims had not yet been paid by the gov- ernmemt. "You, the people of Queen's Lunenburg," said Mr. Ernst, "who sent your ships out on the great waters at a time so needed during the war and when some are in dire distress, arc without pay- ment of losses sustained even though lnoney earmarked for iv- ilian claims have been rece ved from the German treasury."

(Special to The Guardian) SASKATOON, Sasla. July 28.- Threc hundred and fifty farmers, to whom the coming of the railway realized the hopes of many years. celebrated this morning by board- ing the special train over the new branch line from Honningdale, 28 miles northwest of Asquith and 58 miles from Saskatoon.

From today, farmers, who 25 years ago have been from 16 to 30 miles from a railway will be served with a mixed passenger and freight. A great boon, according to the ex- pression of mQy of the farmers. lies in the fact that they can now ship their grain immediately instead of waiting until the whiter freeze up. i

As a Result of the Ac- tivities of Capt. D A. Noble and Fire Marshal C. A. Beer, Suspect is Lodged in Georgetown Jail.

James Arnold, a returned afar veteran, of Bristol, P. E. I., was taken into custody yesterday at that place and was later charged with setting fire on the 18th instant to the home of Daniel Matheson. a neighbor of his.

Capt. D. A. Noble. of The Fire Underwriters’ Investigation Bureau, of Montreal. has been on the ground for the past week assisting the Provincial Fire Marshal, C. A. Beer. and Chief of Police Birtwistlc in the investigation.

It is understood that Arnold has confessed to these officials that he set the fire. There has been trouble between these two families and a McDonald family living nearby for sometime pest.

Matheson, who is also a return- ed war veteran. together with his family, was away from home the date of the fire. The fire which was set under the veranda was discov- ercd by two men who were motor- ing by. They gave the alarm and. assisted by a McEwen family liv- ing nearby, succeeded in putting it out. It was discovered that a cloth saturated with kerosene oil had been used to start the fire. There was a strong wind blowing at the time and if it had not been for the prompt action and persistent ef- forts of those mentioned all the property would have been destroyed. It is understood that there is $2,- 000.00 insurance on the place. Arnold was taken to Georgetown by f-‘lre Marshal Beer and Capt. Noblc last evening, where he was charged with the offence, it being a mostaserious one. His preliminazy hearing, will likely take place the first of the week.

Capt. Noble stated that arson was one of the most difficult crimes to detect. The crude method of oil soaked materiel and a match are sometimes used, but more often the conflagration ia started by more modern methods. such as an alarm clock attached to combustible mat- erial. a combination of acids or a

of the Imperial Wireless and Cable Conference, proposing an amalga- mation of all the cable and wire- less interests in the British Empire. has been so far almost unanimous in its approval.

The Daily ‘Chronicle commends the recommendations in general but advocate a careful scrutiny of the details.

"Undoubtedly the best means of dealing with an anxious situation," the Daily Telegraph comments. The Times says that the far sight- ed recommendations provide the right soluton to what a short time ago was an apparently unsolvublc problem.
