Cam. Bib. Six cities were appointed for
this purpose, three on either side of the
Jordan, easy of access from all parts of
the land. None but Levitical cities were
chosen, and thus the refugees, during
their stay, would have the benefit of
the assistance and instruction of the Le-
vites. ea . .

MARCONI UNABLE TO RECEIVE AND

Wireless Will Not Compete With Cables
for Some Time to Come—Old Sta-
tions Must Be Reconstructed— In-
ventor Going to New York,
Halifax, Oct. 28.—The Marconi sys-
tem of transatlantic communication is
(low • fairly well established, and. with
very few ' intermissions the station at
Glace Bay has been in constant opera-
tion since its opening for eonnnercial
business on Thursday. That Marconi
himself is reasonably sure of the con-
tinued success of his improved system
ts best testified to by the fact of his
leaving shortly for New York, thus leav-
ing to his subordinates there the actual
carrying on of the business.
The wizard now chums that he has no
intention whatever of competing with
the cable companies for some time to
exile, until his transatlantic stations at
al events are better equipped to suc-
cessfully handle the great amount of
business they are censtantly being de-
luged with. This will mean until the
Cape Cod and Poldhit plants are recon-
structed with the una-directional sys-
tem and until the machinery of all the
stations is duplicated in every detail.
At present the most 'serious difficulty
Apparently being met with is the in-
ability of the system to transmit and
receive messages at the same time. This
necessitates the moving of the operators
from one room to another at intervals
of ten minutes, and admits of some con-
fusion arising in the operation of two
stations in communication. It is also
somewhat of a bar to absolute accur-
acy, for if, for any reason, the receiving
operator is unable to interpret the mea -
sage being sent, it is impossible for him
to acquaint the sender until his station
is prepared to receive. The loss of time
entailed because of this is inanifest.
However, the inventor himself is au-
thority for the statement that within
e very short time not only will his sta-
tions be equipped to transmit' and re.
eeive simultaneously, but that it Will be
possible for a number ef operators to
work at the same time, thereby increa.s.
ing the capacity of the station to a
very great extent.

work generally. The Executive Com-
mittee was re-elected.
Mr. Blake's report on Indian work
was received, but was not adopted,
pending further statistical inquiry.
The committee which conferred in
the afternoon with representative of
the Wornen's Auxiliary regardine
sharing of expenditure recommended
that the W. A. be invited to delegate
two members to seats upon the board.
The new policy of evangelizing. and
civilizing the Eskimo, including a

"She Made Me Promise I Would Prevent Her

NOW York, Oct. 28. --There were few
dry eyes in Judge Festers part of Gen-
eral Sessions Court yesterday when Jas.
Weddell, accueed of aiding and abetting
his wife to commit suicide, told Ids story
from the witness steed.
After Dr. O'Hanlon, a coroner's phy-
sician, 'led testified time the woman
was dead from the effects of the gas be-
fore she was shot in the head, Waddell
told how he and his wife bad separated
and how he found her living with an-
other man. Ile wanted to reclaim her,
he said, and on June 17 •last went to
call on her.
He said be loved the woman dearly,
and that at her request he obtained a
revolver for her so that she might pro-
tect herself against another man.
"Vim, do you love me?" be swore she
said to him, and his reply was, "Yee,
more than I do my God; I would out off
my head and give it to you if that
ivould serve you." To thie she replied
that such a method would be a terrible
death, and that she had though of kill.
ing herself by gas.
"Promise ale, Jim," he said she added.
"that if you ever find ole unconscious
with the gasturned on you will shoot
me, so that I will not be buried alive."
Although he tried to reassure her he
had to make this promise to her. Then
she gave lane a glass of wino and he fell
asleep, he said.
"I awoke," -he continued, "with a, eleek-
ing sensation. I found a tube attached
to the gas jet, and there beside nae was
my wife, unconscious. I felt her pulse
and found it was not beating. Then I

FLOOR FELL.
WORKMEN CRUSHED IN AN OSH-
AWA FACTORY.
Henry Perkins Killed and Four Others
Badly Hurt— Floor Was Loaded
With Lot of Heavy Iron Castings.
Oshawa, Oct. 28.—In the collapse of a
flooring due to a defective beam one
man was killed, one seriously injured
and two °there bruised in au accident
occurring at the Oshawa Steam and Gas'
fitting Company's works here about 10.-
45 this morning. The dead man is Har-
vey Perkins, about 24 years of age, un-
married, who was employed in the mill-
ing room of the workis. William Jones,
J. Lewis, Thomas Allman and W. Rus-
sell were all badly crushed but will re-
cover. The other two were able to get
out of the wreckage onaesisted and es-
caped harm except for slight bruises.
Subsequent investigation showed that
one of the wooden beams supporting the
flooring in a corner above, the mill room
was defective. It is thought that the
weight of small castings placed in the
storeroom caused this beam to give way
and so precipitated a section of floor 20x
16 feet. The rescuers worked; for two
hours before recovering Perkins' body.
He was dead, having been struck a sev-
ere blow on the head. An inquest will
be held.
The works employed about 150 men.
There were eight in the Teem wherer the
accident occurred, but only four were
under the section that collapsed.

yesterday but no further damage has
been reported.

Ottawa, Oct. 28.—Reports to the Labor
pepartment show that the amount of
freight handled by the railway and other
transportation companies in the past few
weeks has been greater than at any pre-
vious period, in the history of the Do-
minion. Owing to the scarcity of labor
several large railway construction pro-
jects are being withheld until the facili-
ties for carrying out the work have been
increased. Upwards of 1,500 miles of
track will be completed during the pre-
sent year, in addition to some 3,011 miles

New York, Oct. 28,—A despatch to the
Herald from Troy, N. Y., says: It can be
asserted upon unquestionable authority
that Wm. J. Bryan's candidacy for the
Democratic presidential nomination is
!IOW almost dependent upon what Presi-
dent Roosevelt will do about the third -
term movement. If the President yields
to the insistent demands to accept the
Republican nomination for another term,
Mr. Bryan will step aside and permit the
leadership of his party to be placed in
other hands than his.
"The Nebraskan has been sounding the
Roosevelt sentiment as well as the Bryan
sentiment in typical centres of New York
State since last Monday. He will con-
tinue his peregrinations through the
state until next Wednesday, when he
will start for the west with his mind
virtually made up as to what will be the
most expedient thing to do with refer-
ence to his own candidacy."

Mr. Davies, a resident, for damages sus-

wire with which Mr. Davies sought to
protect his lawn.
Mr. Davies moved before the Master
in Chambers yesterday for an order di-
recting the plaintiff to elect which de-

The. Master refused the application,
remarking that the case was soznewhat
similar to the case of a man riding on

or the automobile was to blame. He

London, Oct. 28.—A step which ap-

general strike of railway employees in
Great Britain has been taken by the
Great Eastern Railway Company. The
chairman of thea company has issued a
long explanatory -itatement, the kernel
of which is that the company absolutely
refuses the union's demand for recog-
nition.
This is the point on which the trou-
ble turns. The statement intimates that
the other railway companies have made

Smith, at liberty on $22,000 dollar bail
for shooting to death a suspected thief,
fleeing from arrest, was restored to his
official position last night by the chief

chief's action as high-handed and call
on the police cominission for immediate
action. The whole city is in a ferment
over the 'incident.
So bitter are the police that an officer
threw the assistant editor of The Free

last night, though he knew the man
and his duty.

THE GRAIN STANDARDS.
Method of Selection Adopted by
Board.
'Winnipeg, Oct. 28.—The Grand Stand-
ards Board has completed its duties,
which were difficult this year. In arriv-
ing at the sample .the members• of the
board eeleet from a number of sacks
gathered from all over the Province, tak-
ing a gripful of each, and mix the grain.
Then they decide on the sample. The
sacke from which the moieties are de-
rived are emptied on to the floor and
mixed. The board has then to decide on
the standard sample in bulk. This adopt-
ed sample is split up and portions of it
sent to the exchanges in the east and in
Great Britain. Foreign buyers can thus
cheek 'the grades they purchase, and. if
there at any difference between the nom -
kW grade and the actual quality of the
whatt they can obtain redress. Portions
of the sample are retained for the Sur-
vey Board and for the use of inspecOrs
in grading.
The alioard has made a new grade, No.
6. This will catch wheat which just
misses No. 5, and would otherwise have
to be classed as feed, thereby suffering,
a ,drop cif 10c to lic. While the standard
samphdwas being decided upon Chief In-
spector Horn remarked that he consider-
ed they were merely making another
fend grade.
The board also decided upon a new
feed grade for barley weighing less than
42 potinds per bushel.
