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

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_ Clark, A. 1-‘_ Prowse, M.L.A.; J, K, Ross, Rev, R. G. Sinclair, Rev. W. J. Wason, Arch. McDonald, Murray Harbor; Wm.

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.

especially emphasized in the new mar- riage laws read irf the Catholic churches of the city, deals with ma- trimonial sugagements. The church decrees that every prenuptial con- tract is void unless it is written and
duly attested.
“It will stop frivolous and foolish
engagements made today only to be broken to-morrow,” said Rev. Dean Mahoney of St. Mary’s Cathedral. Some people. he said. were engaged half n dozen times before they were married. “In case of a breach of promise such a document would also prove, ve'ry valuable in the courts' of the land." he added.
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- pensations. This explanation is not made with a view of encouraging mixed marriages. You know very well it is only with great reluctance and sorrow .that these dispsnsetions fare granted." ‘

CAPE TOWN, March 30-Serious
differences have occurred in the Trans- vaal between the Botha Ministry and a large section of the Het Volk party 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.
In spite of all arguments, however,
