$10,000,000 Revenue Decrease Reported At Opening‘ Of Quebec Legislature.

1C. P. By Gulrdian’! special Wire)

QUEBEC, Jan. 0. - Forecasts in the Bpeech of the ‘Throne at the opening of the Quebec Legislature here yesterday indicated additional taxation would be levied and in ministerial quarters the intimation was the new irnposts would be on gasoline and spirituous liquors.

I11 011 quarters it was freely pre- dictcd the fourth session of the 18th Legislature opened for the first time since his ncnt as Lieu- tenant-Govemor by Hon. E. L. Pat- enaude, would be one fraught with lengthy debates and free discussion on the governmental issues it was made plain Premier L. A. Tascher- eau and. his Liberal colleagues in- tend drafting.

Significant in the Speech from the Throne which is a reflection oi contemplated legislative potion, was the passage; “The revenues oi our Province have decreased by over $0,000,000; nevertheless our needs have continually increased, owing mostly to unemployment and the miseries it entails. liindeavoring to meet this situation by means of loans would only mortgage the fut- Wre and result in destroying the credit and economic life of our pro- vince.

“We shall therefore be compelled to find new sources of revenue mostly for public charities which heavily encumber our provincial budget. I think I may rely on the patriotism and public spirit oi our Deoplc to accept a slight additional burden which, under the circum- stances, is absolutely necessary.

wast-marrow, Jan. e _ The ghost orf the rum runner I'm Alone W“ laid today by a final judicial ruling that Canada should receive m lwlvsv and wmoc but that the United. States could cross off the rest ~of the $306,003 demgndgd 1n darnflges.

‘I'M Joint judicial commission, bringing one oi prohlbitiorrs most spectacular episodes nearer con- clusion, declared the sinking of the Vessel was “not hrstlfied."

"P119 UUuuJiBSIOIIG u consider," said the decision, “that the United States ought formally to a-clmow- ledge its illegality, and to apologize to His Majesty's Canadian Gov- ernment therefore; and. further, that as a material amend in respect of the wrong the United States should pay the sum 0i M000 to His Majesty's Canadian Govern- ment; and they recommend accor- dingly."

The commissioners-Justice Wil- lis Van Devanter of the United States Supreme Court and Chief Justice Sir Lyman Poore Duff of the Canadian Supreme Court-de- cided further that the captain and crew were not parties to the smug- gling conspire», and hence were entitled to “material amends." These added up to $25,006.

Canada. had asked for damages of nearly $400,000 for the sinking which took place in the Gulf of Mexico March 22, 1929, after more than In hour of shelling by the coast guard cutter Dexter.

Recent hearings here were de- voted to a determination of owner- ship. Canada clairred the schooner was of bona ride Canadian reg- “iry 'bllt the United States con- finded that its operations were dominated by a New York rum- running syndicate.

The commission today declared that although it was a British ship of Canadian registry. it "was de facic owned, controlled, and at critical times maruryd, and her movements directed and her oar- [ro dealt with and disposed of. by a group of persons acting in con- cert who were entirely, or nearly so, citizens of the United States.

George J. l-learn of Montreal testified at the hearing that he owned the boat through control of the Eugene Crease; Shipping Co. Ltdn of Nova Bcotia.

Baying that he had once jumped bail when indicted in the United States on a liquor charge, he re- vealed the actual operations of the vessel were handle-d by Den Hogan of New York and the Late Marvin J. (Big Jim) Clark, a roving ex- convict, on a profit sharing plan.

Hogan, o. rprisoner at Northeast- em Penitentiary. lewisburg, Penn, was brought hare at the instance of Canada to testify but was not called.

Clark was the author- of an affi- davit, made in I932, declaring that Hogan, one Prank H. Reitman, and he owned the I'm Alone. Subse- quently Clerk, a native of Missouri. was killed in a brawl in iauilians.

Dr. Condon Emphatic- ally Declares Bruno Richard Haupt- mann To Be “John”, The Cemetery Ran- som Taker.

(By John Ferris) (Associated Press sun WrPsr) (AI. By Guardian's Special Wire) PLEMINGTON, N. J., Jan. B — Dr. John F. Condon, “Jaisie” of the Lindbergh kidnapping case, opened up new pages of that fan- tastic tragedy today with a witness- stand story tint thrice branded Bruno Richard Hauptrnann es “Johny the cemetery ransom tak-

er.

Firm, elomst eager, in his accusal, the ‘l4 year old former Bronx tea- cher told his direct story today for 2 i-il hours at Hauptmanns mur- der trial and then turned on de- fence inquisitors with vigor.

Again the clriding schoolmaster, he lectured Edward J. Reilly, chief of defence counsel, until the port- RUIB-Wyer protested he could "take

At one point his testimony, on cross-examination, provoked a de- fence demand for a mistrial. The motion, directly the result of an in- terruption by Attorney General Davis T. Wllentz, was denied quick- ly dby Justice Thomas W. Trench- er .

There was no doubt in the voice of the tall, white-haircd scholar as he shook s pedantic finger and ze- peated:

f“ ‘John’ is Bruno Richard Haupt- mann!" _

Nor did his story falter as he told of the eerie cemetery trysts that finally led him to put $50,000 in the hands of the iurtlve "Jshn" -Ccl. Charles A. Lindbergws ran- som for the baby already slain.

Not even at the height of Reilly's relentless questions, pointed pat- iently at the question of Condoms own good faith in the case, did he waver.

“Not for me, not for me," he re- plied to the suggestion that he rest for a few minutes. “Let him go right on all night."

Tomorrow Dr. Condon faces mom searching queries from the oar- pentei-‘s defender, on Reilly's own promise that the cross examination will consume a day and a half.

In every detail today "Jafsie" told his story of the araneemcnfs for the ransom: of his fist tryst with. “John" in Woodlawn Ccmctery,.the Bronx, seen after 1111' lildllflllniil‘; how he arranged to have the child's sleeping suit sent to him us proof that "John's" supposed sumrlors had the baby.

PRESIDENTS REPORT

Gentleman: As your President I have to report that during the year I believe some progress has been made. I enjoyed the experienrc and learned. I nope. considerable. 1 have tried to fulfil the duties which were mine so far as my ability permit- ted, and I trust with some meas- ure of satisfaction to the Council and Board.

Durinil the year meetings took place with the local management of the Canadian National Railway and I am pleased to report that what I ‘believe to be a fairly satisfactory time-table for tbn Murray Harbour line is now in effect, but the run- ning schedule of freight trains is far from being realized. If the peo- Dlo on this line. as on other lines, expect improved services at other seasons they must be prepared to iltwillllo it both in passengers and freight. as otherwise the service would be too expensive and of little use. Representations have been made asking for a better and quick- m- service from Bach-file to Tor- inentine.

On the 30th April I flew to Mono- ion and book on the invitation of the Canadian Airways Limited and much enjoyed the hip and ap- preciated the to this Board. I was I-llo extended an invitation for a trip to and from rm: Glsqow, NI. in July on the ‘ “ of

On the 10th June the Board en- tertained at a Banquet at the Can- adian National Hotel, sir Henry Drayton, Chairman of the National Committee on Sound Public Fin- ance, under the auspices of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.

REGISTRAR DENIES SIGN- lNli DIIBIIMENT

Authenticity of Cer- tificate 0f Owner- ship Holds Spotlight In “Gypsum Queen” Case.

(CI. By Guardian's Special Wine) O'I'I‘AWA, Jan. 9-—With a star crown witness J. B. Henderson on the stand, authenticity of the pur- ported certificate of ownership of the "Gypsum Queen" took the spotlight in the suit of the govem- merit against Senator H. J. Logan and Captain Freeman Hatfield be- fore the Exchequer Court of Can- ada today.

The 73 year old retired registrar of shipping at Parrsborc, N. 8., denied under examination by gov- ernment counsel Peter White hi: had signed the disputed document, that Hatfield owned the schooner, in October 1930. "I did not" was his answer to crown counsel, who producing the document asked wit- ness if he had signed it. The [loc- ument produced was not on an official form and bore no stamp t-i office, said Hendterson.

Heated conversation between the Senator and himself in Parrsboro in the summer of i931, on the question whether or not Hender- son had signed the certificate for legan was recounted by the wit- ness. This was when the Senator had visited witness‘ office after payment oi the $71,000 reparation award and some question had aris- en oi Henderson's signature on the disputed document. He haxi denied it was his signature on the certifi- cate when summoned to Ottawa in July, i931, a month previous and four months after Hatfield had cashed the cheque in March, i981, said Henderson.

Taking the retired official over a. number oi exhibits in evidence, W. N. ‘Pilley, counsel for the Sen- ator, had witness identify a num- ‘her of signatures.

“Is this your signature?" Asked Mr. Tllley at one stage, producing s. document.

“I believe it is," replied Hender- son.

"That is the document you swore, some time ago was not your sig-i nature," said counsel for the Sen-I ator, observing the document he» had. just produced was the disput-W ed certificate of ownership.

"Pilot is not my signature," wit- ness then said.

Prxsed by Mr. 'i‘illey, witness denied yesterday's testimony of former deputy reparation commis- sioner Relph that he (Henderson) had said at first in Ottawa. in July i931 that it "was" his sig- nature. Vlfhwt he had first said in Ottawa was it "looks like my sig- nature," before he had afterwards doubted it and later said it was not his signature, answered Henderson. Considerable cross - examination developed on whether or not the fact a certificate was on an offic- ial form. or the contents of the document, was the decisive factor by wiircss in determining the auth- Olltlcliy of his signature. He had never seen the document in ques- tion until it was shown to him in Ottawa. sold Henderson.

When his stamp as registrar of shipping was not available he some- fimcs used his other stamp as col- lector oi customs, witness admitted
