At the lot sersiun the principal evidence hinged up.m the testimony of the captains of the two boat', Tur- ret Capeand-J. A. McKee, which were both over 44 hours late arriving here on Tuesday, December 0 h, in conse- quence of the second big storm on the preceding Sunday. Cap'.

Witness said it was only • question of money to snake Goderich a harbor of refuge. At the present time be con- sidered the breakwater no use to the harbor when a northwest wind was Wowing. Capt. P. D. McCarthy, of the Turret (',pe, whose res.*" was also 48 hours late getting here on Tuesday. was the gerund witness examined.

A represrntativeof the Meteorologi- cal department at Toronto stated in his evidence that it was well known to that department at las.:p) p. m. on the 8:b of November that a storm n[ uouaual velocity was about to na: b Lake Huron almost immediately. but no intimation of thin was sent out, re- liance being placed on the co flouts' display of the storm signal put up on the 7th and continua d up as above st a ted.

Considering the appalling lows of lore and property on that occasion ; that Goderich is nominally a h4rlsor of refuge and the Only available harbor as such on Ihe east side of the lake. which vessels can have recourse in strew of weather, and that if complet• rd stud equipped 4s a harbor of refuge, as are all such harbors in the roiled !Mates porta. some nt the said vessels might have found afety in it. Ortn•ideiing the vast amount of lake trafRc along this part of Like Huron exceeding (as we are informed) that elsewhere on any part of the lireat Lakes; and that I:oderich is the second largest grain receiving port on the upper lake.: and considering all the circumstances appearing before or, we strongly recommend and believe that the Government should witbout delay and at any coat compete and equip Oodericb hlMwor as a mobfwillitar refuge ;first, by fully °empleting the break well now begun : Pernod. by in- stalling up-to-date lights and ■ tog signal at the entrance of the break• wall. the present fog whi.

CORONER'S REMARKS Coroner Hunter summed up the evidence and then stated that the in - (nest had been called to find out how, and by what means Thomas Stone. fliemao of the steamer McOean over whose body the Inquest has been held, came to bI. death. '•l'nfortunately" he said, "then was not a survivor left to tell the tale." Ile thought the mown attorney bad put all the evi- dence possible before the jury. lIe said Oodericb had been known nominally as a -harbor of refuge and that all the mariners examined as wit- nesses did not consider it such and were of Ibe opinion that the Improve- ments too ld be repidlyg completed. Ile ?wondered a wireless telegraph appatatus here would be very useful. Ile bold that it was unfortunate that Canadian vessel owners did not keep better t.t.h on 1 he crew list as the United Staten boat owners dirt. Ile raid this was illustrated by the fact that only five holies were identified Out of 17 bodies recovered from Can- adian vessels. FORMER BANKER SHOT He Was Manager of Plum Coulee Branch of the Bank of Montreal Mr.- H. M. Arnold, the murdered Bank of Montreal manager at Plum Couke, Manitoba, oaf at one time connected with the Goderich branch of the Bank of Montreal, leaving here twelve yrars ago. He was born ir. Sasser, New Bruna- wick, and during his residence in Goderich made a boat of Itiend.. He was an Anglican and an active mem- ber of that denomination. Hix year, ago he married his first wife, Miss tVehatrr, a daughter of tbe collector of customs at Belleville. After two years of married life lie lost, his wife and d d not marry again till • year ago when be led Mims Glace Todd, of Winnipeg, to the salter. He wan well liked and respected. "He was one of the cleanest living chaps I knew," was the opinion expressed by one of the de- ceased's old managers. A son of M. jor Antold, of Sussex, be was clrne- ly related to General Williams, of 'Kars fame. Besides his tuber nod mother and one sister in Susscx, he leaves a brother, also a Winker, to survive him. At various tiniest be was • member of the Bank of Mon- treal branches id Ilamiltsn. Goderich, Picton, Ht. Johns and St. John, taking up the sub -agency at Plum Coulee in May, 1912. Although vsveral days have elapsed since the Bank of Montreal at Plum Coulee was routed and Manager Arnold killed. the desperados who per- petrated the crirne have not yet been apprehended. The belief still exists that the men are hiding in Winnipeg or vicinity, and the search for Jack Krafchenko, inspected by the police, is kept up. Officers of the Winnipeg morality department turned out at twa o'clock Saturday morning and searched the resorts in Tran,cone, but found nothing. Krafchenko has many friends in Winnipeg, who, it is believ- ed, would conceal his presenc u. An- other rumor is to the effect that two men anaweliug to the description of the suspects were seen near St. ('laude a day or two atter the murder. A despatch in the daily papers later says that John Krafchenko, for whom a warrant is out in connection with the murder of Mr. M. M. Arnold, manager of the Bank of Montreal at Plum Coulee last week, was arrested Wednesday ntort:ing in a house on College *vent*, Winnipeg, and taken to the police station. Krafchenko was eaptmed without blocdshed. The police received a lip Hutt be was within the place, and forty of them surrounded the house early Wednesday forenoon and effect- ed the arrest without difficulty. Kraf- rheltko wan taken to the police station in an automobile, which also contained the chief and deputy chief. He made no resistance. - - Rheumatism, Lumbago and Lame Back can be cured by the great fruit. kidney and liver remedy, 1710 PILLS Brantb,Vd.
