They do not re- gard the cessation of the ship's wireless messages as denoting anything eerielie, as this might have been caused by at- mospheric dieturbances or other similar causes.

FIVE DIE _ -a- DR. NESBITI IS INTERVIEWED Globe Reporter Talks With Him in Chicago jail, Denies His Guilt and Has No Fear of Result. ..1,....•••••••••••111 He Has Been in Chicago lYfost of the Time. Chicago, .April 14.---"1 cannot tell you yet.

So spine Dr. Beattie Nesbitt, pacing the floor of the modestly furniehed iting room of the great county jail building situated almost in the heart of the city, durin,g the couree of an hour's interview with the Giube this afternoon. The door or the. room Wari kept open. A guard stood in the corridor watching, while a few steps beyond were Superin- tendent j. E, Rogers, of the Ontario Pollee, and Detective William Wallace, of the Toronto force, in conference -with the prison warden. The interview was secured by permission »f the Attorney. General% Department reinforced by the written order of 'United States Marshal Sime and the consent of Dr. Neebitt. He is another Dr. Nesbitt now. The green bay tree no longer flourishes. It has withered and warped. and frosted. The man who alighted from the elevator with the guard and entered the visiting room was old. His head was no longer thrown back 'in leonine bravado; it was bowed. His long raven hair is gone, and its abbreviated later growth is almost white. He hes grown a moustache streaked with grey, end his ahort chin whiskers are hoary. He has lost much in weight, and his rotundity is no more. His clothes are too big, and car- ry the evidence of much wear. Instead of the glossy silk hat of yore, he wears a black Stetson. He hes come through a strenuous two days -hustled from place to place through afficial anxiety to avoid his location by atteeeneys arm- ed with writs and habeas corpus -and is aged and careworn. But the ruling passion if still strong. He foreed something of the old striae, and his first question was concerning', the nvi,VSpaper 'boys.",' to be follow,.:01 almost immediately by declarations of satisfaction over the feet that "1 see the wards have been keeping up the good work." He wanted to talk about Toronto and-, his friends there, to know all about the happening, political and municipal, interjecting characteristic comments throughout. When Superin- tendent Rogers entered and offered him a cigar, he declined. "I've practically quit smoking," he Raid, "and it's two and a half yeroe eince I tasted liquor of any kind." He gave assuriteee that he was feeling in the best of health, though he had been placed in the hos- pital ward in the jail and is under the doctor'e care. Dr. Nesbitt was emphatic in declar- ing that he was in no wag criminally re- epousible for the failure of Farmers Bank. "I have nothing to fear," he per- sisted, "if the case is investigated on its merits." He emphasized the fact that he was president of the bank only for the first year of its existence, and that the Keely mine sale did not take place until six menthe after he with- drew from the head of the institution. Preesed for the reason of his flight, Dr. Nosbitt stated that he had not run away, but merely remained away when he heard a warrant had. been issned.

Would 2/13r countryman allow his wife to danee the 'turkey trot' in his draw- ing room? He ‘gottld not.

"The New York women have such character, such beanty, such fine figures, But as you go farther from New York, Ali, the women grow stouter, bess attraetive. And when you reach the Pacific collet, the women grow big -like Amazons -like the trees. "Americans have no liberty. They only think so," commente-d Count Gerarn. "They are too much snobs." "Americans are funny," he added, while all three Counts joined in a laugh. "We were regarded as suspicious per- sons in many western towns We visited, after reporters had asked us what our business was and we told them we had. none. They couldn't understand that 'we were not 'busy doing something.' Some of the reporters were so upset about it they wrote we were busy entertaining ourselves."

The question of imperial defence has been 'Jewell to the fore of late, and the question of what the colonies will do to alp Great Britain to 'maintain her naval supremacy has received its share of attention. The visit which Robert L. Borden, Prime Minister, and John D. Hazen, the Minister of Marine of Canaua, are to pay to London in May has heightened the interest in the mat- ter, 'particularly as to 'what Canada's Incoiiiiitisritli),auttliooll is to be under her new ad - The admirolty will not initiate any proposals, the pollee, of the Government being that the Dominions must make up their minds as to what they desire and are able to do. They will, however, be given guidance, and -the accumulation of naval knowledge which England has gathered will be placed at their dis- posal. Winston Spencer Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, in diecussing the mat- ter recently, went further, and said that theeruiminalty would place the facts of thegnaval poliey before them with abso- lutes frankness. The government being in posseesion of the' facts, gathered at the Lest Imperial Defence Conference, does not expeet the Dominions to do much more than was agreed upon then. Imperialiste, how- ev6f, have plans that go far beyond that. These were outlined by Page Croft, a. Unionist member, on the debate on the naVal estimatee. He eontended that the Dominions should each have a fleet. Australia and Canada should have four Dreadnought cruisers, South Afriea two or fottr, New Zeeland two, and the crown coloniee one at least. These fleet unite should be part of the British i'lego.ubtlese. Ragland would like to see this addition to her fleet. but the ma- jority here would be .eatisfied if the Do. • rninions would in thn e relieve the mother country of the necessity of pro- teeting outlying parts of the Empire and enable her to keep her fleet for home defence. Thie is what Australia, New Zealand and Canada practically agreed, to. do at the Imperial Defence Confer. enee. Canada's new programme is ex- pected to go further in this direction Lthaaitririedii..d that laid down by Sir Wilfrid In this> matter of imperial defence, toe, a, goad deal of attention is heing deyoted to the oil resource; of the Col- onies. It is said that the British navy hag made greater advance in the 11Se of c;i' fuel than has the navy of any other country, and in a few years im- mense supplies will he required. As it dace not -wish to be. dependent upon foreign countrice for thie eupply, the 1311.03h government has had inquiries made in all the colonies, not only...in regard to fuel oil, but also as to pos- sible supplies of petrol for submarines, aeroplanes and the new internal com- bustion enginee, which %Some believe will eoon be inetalles in smaller vessels of the fleet. Au expert who visited all the Colonies has stated that Canada and New Zealand will be able to 'supply their own navies with oil fuel, and that in:Australia, Somaliland, Egypt and the Soudan the output is increasing. lt liras been euggested that instead of breaking up or selling obsolete war- shipe tne larger onee should be con• verted into tanks, in which large re- serve supplies conld be stored.

Are you sincere? If you're sincere Then you can call me your dearie; Say what you mean; mean what you. say, That you can alwaye be near me. -Popular Song. Buffalo, April 15.- Love -making is to be confined to the simon-pure article in the parks of Buffalo the coining suinruer. Sighing swains will be tolerated so long as they're sincere. Yes, even the hold- ing of hands will be countenanced, but there are to be limitations, and Chief of Police Regan defiued them yester- day. The advisability of instructing police- men to recognize the open -love season is being weighed by the superintendent. "As in every large city," he said yes- terday, "there are belles and beaux who have no conservatories, cool, cazy corners or porch swings in which to entertain. The parks are provided for these. It has been my experience that the summer ev- enings find as many youthe and maiden:3 of our wealthy families strolling in the parks as the boys and the girls of the working classes. "It is no new custom for these to drift to shaded benches and commune with one another. Buffalo's policemen are sufficiently well versed in human nature to differentiate between true and false cooing. esIeseansbaxat , them, supervise sue h demonstrations tide year, They will end at once anything they deinn to be counterfeit. "I will venture to say that any father and mother of mature years, if honest, will confess that they stole away to the parks -or roadways in their youth and indulged in hand.holding. One, may call these things what they will, but a8 long as they're sincere I sop no more harm in it, than ill seprel demonstration.; within doors." CHURCH UNION VOTE.
