Mr. Manson Gone to Confer with

to Buildings Here.

Fairview cemetery

 

William Manson, M. P. P., left
on the Princess May today for
Victoria, where he will confer
with the minister of public works
in regard to the provincial gov-
ernment buildings to be erected
here. Mr. Manson had been ad-
vised by the minister that the
preliminary plans for these
buildings were practically com-
[pleted and his advice was desired
thereon before they were finally
jaccepted.

Mr Manson expressed the
opinion that the work of pre-
paring these plans so expedi-
jtiously means that in a very short
time now the specifications will
be ready and ihe government in

Advice of the Leading London

Authorities.

London, May 1 The deter-
mined stand which the govern-
ment appears to have taken
against the suffragette militants,

beginning with
day upon the
the Women's Social
Union and the arrest of
leaders, is mildly but generally
commended by the London press.
The Standard calls it “the doom
of the militants,” and beli
that although the government
may be caused some smal! an-
noyance, even after the of
the leaders, the rank and file can
do nothing whatever. It con-
tinues:

“An attempt will probably be
made to re-establish the Women’s

else-

where, probably under another
name. If so, the police must
make another raid and continue

the process until the whole fabric
of militaney shattered. To
keep the militants on the run is
the surest way to extinguish their
activities The vitality of mili-
tancy, which has ceased to have
any real connection with the vote
and has lost the sympathy of the
great mass of suffragists, cannot
survive the destruction of its or-
ganization.”

The Daily Mail also declares
editorially that the authorities
are taking the right course.

METHODIST CONFERENCE WILL
_ MEET AT VANCOUVER NEXT WEEK

 

|SEVERAL OF THE LOCAL CLERGY LEFT BY THE PRINCESS

Among the passengers leaving
for the south this morning by
the Princess May were several

Methodist clergymen of the dis-
trict, en route to Vancouver to
attend the annual conference of
the Methodist Church in British

Columbia. Among the number
were Rey. C. R. Sing, B. D., Prince
Rupert; Rev. G. H, Raley, Port
Simpson; Rev. C. E. Batzgold, B.
A., B. D., of Bulkley, and Rev. R.
W. Lee of Kispiox. Several
others will join the ship between
here and Vancouver, among them
being Rev. Mr. Swan of Kitimat
and Rev. Mr. Deans of Ocean
Falls.

Mr. William Manson, M. P. P.,

also left this morning as a lay
delegate and Mr. P. McLachlan
will go down some time this
week. W. H. Gibson of Bella
Coola will also be a lay delegate.

The conference does not open
until May 15th, but there will be
important committee meetings
this week and the stationing
committee will meet on Monday
next.

The most important questions
that will come before the con-
ference are the theological col-
lege and home missions.

There will in all probability be
several important changes made
by the stationing committee in
the personnel of the clergy of
this district.

Vancouver, i—It will be
hard for who scoff at the
superstition surrounding the fig-
ure “13” to maintain their in-
credulity in face of yesterday's
in the Bankers’
Trust ease. That ill-fated cor-
poration, it was shown, had 13
directors until Mr. F. C. Cook, its
president, and one of those now
standing trial on a charge of
conspiracy, resigned; the meet-
ing at which the company’s pend
ing liquidation was made appar-
ent took place on March 13, and

the year of course is 1913. This
was brought out in the course of
Mr. F. Higgins’ cross-examina-
tion of Mr. John Edward Allen,

secretary of the Company at the
affairs, and
or.

Mr. Allen was in the box thro-
ughout yesterday's proceedings.
As a result of his appearance
there was put in the evidence the
board’s minute books; sundry
documents relating to the case,
among them being an auditor's
report, and a letter written by
Mr. J. O. Hearn to the Bankers’
Trust foregoing on behalf of the
Negotiators Ltd. all claim to a
large amount of commission for
the sale of shares. Mr. Higgins
has been trying to have this ae-
an exhibit through
every director examined but none
was able to positively identify it.
Mr. Allen, however, swore to its
having been submitted to a re-
gular board meeting and it was
put in subject to Mr. H. B, Rob-
ertson'’s objection, the latter act-
ing for the Crown in prosecu-
tion. Mr. Robertson said he

BANKERS’ TRUST PURSUED BY
THE UNLUCKY FIGURE THIRTEEN

FORMER SECRETARY AND PRESENT LIQUIDATOR OF MORI-
BUND CONCERN GIVES SOME INTERESTING FIGURES
FROM THE WITNESS STAND

 

 

In his examination in chief Mr
Allen said he was appointed
general manager of The Title
Holding Company on September
15th, 1912. He came to Victoria
on the request of Mr. F. C. Cook,
who explained that the then sec-
retary was incompetent. Before
deciding to accept the Victoria
position he had a conversation
with Mr. J. O. Hearn, one of the
three accused, who said that
many local prominent men were
signed up and ready to take
shares in the Bankers’ Trust. As-
ked who they were he was told
that Hon. James Dunsmuir was
to be president. Both Messrs.
Cook and Hearn then were dir-
ectors of the Title Holding Com-
pany. He became _ secretary-
treasurer of the Bankers’ Trust
in this city. Mr. Welbourne was
then president. Mr. Godfrey
Booth’s appointment dated from
January 1, He acted until March
13.

Up to Janaury 30, 1943, wit-
ness affirmed that the company
was practically run by Messrs.
Welbourne and Cook. The min-
utes showed it. There was prac-
tically no business during this
period apart from the sale of
stock, As secretary-treasurer
he had collected $26,000 from the
Negotiators Ltd. This went to
earry on the company’s expen-
ses. Some $10,000 was paid for
repairs to the new quarters, cor-
ner of Langley and Yates streets.
Something over $8000 was con-
sumed by expenses, and the Ne.
gotiators got $9,000 on eommis-
sions. Other money came in
from stock subscribers, This to-
taled about $411,000. It was used
by the offices of Nelson, Prince
Rupert and Vancouver, the most
going to the latter branch.
