EARL GREY
Says Canada is the Domi-
nant Factor in tmpire,
London, Oct. 22,-Bar1 Gfey, in an
interview, told the press men that
Canada one day would be the dom-
inant factor in the Empire. Her na-
tural resources and h-er enterpriaing
people and great raliway.-e assured
that consummation.
There was one lesson Canada
taughtus-that there, as elsewhere,
the cost of living was increased be-
cause the production of primary ne-
cessities had not kept pace with the
needs and growth of populations
The aleNV Government will not be
eontent with extending the area of
settlement and cultivation. The in-
different farmer who merely =Mal-
e& the soil was not, unknown in Can-
ada. It had been demonstrated in
the. Province of Ontario that the
fanner could have double crops,
without adding an acre to the farm
by more int•ettee cultivation, which'
will benefit every class.. Canada, was
welleequipped for work in her ag;r1-
cultural colleges and practical in-
stitutions., and experts i11 every
branch of agricalture were ready to
give help and advice to the settler
wherever lie ina.y be. The Comedian
eystem of educating the farmer might
be adopted with immense advantage
In the United Kingdom,
Two other reforms iinpressed Earl
Grey. The Civil Service Commission,
he said, has effected it permanent
beneficial change in the civil ser.
vice. This,. he added, will improve
administration and avoid needless
expenee.
Another reform in progress, he
eoneluded, is the union of the Pro-
testant Clitirchee.

in June, 1910, and eine° then the au-

place him under arrest.
When Saudford was brought ashore
from the Coronet, which swings at
,anchor at quarantine station, a
wrecked and disabled craft, he was
accompaniedby the hueband of the
woman at whose instigation he was
arested, the Rev, A, A. Whittaker.
The latter came ashore that he
might assist in arranging bail for his
leader.
To -night the two men were brought
ashore from the Coronet -by the health
authorities and placed in a, local hos-
pital, both suffering with scurvy.
Seven others, six men and one Child,
died of the same diseatee and were
buried at • sea during the past few

ON DETECTIVES
W. J. Burns on Running
Down of Grafters.
...,•••••••.1101•
Blames Man Who is Not In
terested in Polities.
New York, Oct. 23. -It took William
J. Burns, the detective over an hour
to toll the Politics Club, of Volu.mbia,
University, yesterday about his part
in the running down of the grafters
in San Franciseo and in the Cali-
fornia land frauds, and to discus
two or three technical points in the
trials of the MeNamarits in Los An-
geles. Mr, Burns said little about
the McNamara trial, but remarked
that a carload of printed evidenee
would be shipped from Indiana in
time for the opening day.
"How about the planting of the
bombs?" some one in the audience
asked,
' "Of course S. 3, McNamara said
that I hid the bombs," replied Mr.
Burns, "init let ma tell you that if
I hid them J. J. Mella,mara con-
spired with me, mid in doing that
he is just as big a criminal as L
"Samuel Gompers doesn't tell the
truth," remarked the detective rather
sarcastically. "He says that organ-
ized labor without violence is a joke.
Many of the politicians have taken
his word and violence has resulted,
also a break in the .labor organiza-
tion.
"I am considered a sot, and those
men in Las Angeles will tell you that
I am the biggest grafter in the coun-
try; that I am running a crooked busi-
ness; that i» running down bomb
throwers and dynamiters 1 place the
podwer or the infernal machine in
their pockets. Let me say again that
I have _never resorted to a double
cross method in my work."
In his lecture the detective stated
that the very best citizens in the
eamenmity were responsible for the
graft, He said that the charge of
failure made against municipal gov-
ernment in the United States was en-
tirely wrong,
"It's not the form of government
that has failed," Mr, Burns contin-
ued, "but it is the so-called citizen
who takes no active interest in What
is going on in his own community."
When Mr. Burns had convinced the
audience that reform of municipal
government lay in the hands of the
voters he touelied upon the Personal
side of his work as ',emotive. He re-
marked that he had never been a
respecter of persons when running a
crook to the wall. It was his inten-
tion to put the bigmen behind the
bars in the late eases of international
reputation that he has been engaged
in, and notto arrest the "little fel-
lows" who are mere puppets in the
power of the big political boss.
"The word of a detective is never
taken," be affirmed. "You will hear
of cases where deteotives have actual-
ly 'played into the hands of thieves.
As
it TI110 YOU will find that detec-
tives .are the biggest la of black-
mailing men in, the world.
"Thoueands of crooks clothe them -
elves as detectives. I believe in
turning the light of publicity en every
crook. You will seldom remember
how the email men are sent to the
penitentiary, but you wilt- remember
how the big men got there and gen-
erally bow long they will stay there.
It 15 these impressions that count and
make the people think
"The •cletective does not apply the
third degree to his niethods .of getting
a confeesion; that is, I have never ap-
plied this scheme. We follow a, trend
of mind, and would rather deal with
a smart crook than with one who
has not mental development. The
educated crook will follow your lino
of reasoning, but the degenerate
will lie."

have been killed and it is feared that
more than thirty men in the workings
met: death. The survivors are imprison-
ed by a cave-in. The bodies of the two

Chicago, Oct. 23. -Five men were kill-
ed and sixteen overcome by the explos-
ion at Harrisburg, according to officials
of the coal company here. None were im-
prisoned, according to the officials. The
accident was caused by the explosion of
a keg of powder.
About 400 were employed in inine No.

COMPENSATION
Labor Men's Views on Ac-
cident Insurance.
Toronto, Oct. ‚23. -Enquiry by the On-
tario Government to enquire into the
Workmen's Conpensation Act was open-
ed by Sir William Ralph Meredith, emu-
miseioner, in the Parliament building',
There was quite it largo crowd present,
ineluding representatives of labor organi-
zations and the Canadian Manufactur-
ers' Association. Evidence was given by
a number of employees its to the work-
ing of the English Act, which seemed to
be most popular with the workmen. The
most serious drawback was that employ-
ers would insure against liability and
the insurance company was inclined to
reject the older men, as they were more
liable to, accident. Consequently, these
men could not get employment. This
IVAS ill many cases a hardship.
Speaking on behalf of labor, the Viec-
President of the Toronto Central Labor
'Council said they were strongly opposed
to any scheme whereby the employee
would have to contribute towards tilt
Wit of insurance against accident, and
they desired very strongly to have the
contributory negligenee clause removed.
