The plane has been cominir ud the eot in shorter hops than; Was expected. The intention was to make intermediate stops only at Altrt Ilay and Prince Rupert. Instead of that the daily jumps were shortened up to Campbell River and Swanson Bay. If the flight is to be accomplished on scheduled time, it will be necessary for the ship to go right through to Ketchikan today. Messages this morning from Ketchikan asking that advice be sent there when the plane passed over Prince Rupert strengthened the belief that the ship would not stop here after all. Arrangements, however, had been made to fuel and moor at the Imperial Oil Co. plant. TORONTO STOCKS (Courtesy S. I). Johnston Op.) Howey, 1.38. Home OJI, 26.00. Hudson Hay, 20.25. Int. Nickel, G0.26.

"Labor looks askance at any large immigration Into this coun try. Mr. Forke said, "The railways on the other hand, claim that the country could absorb a .much larger volume of agricultural population, are not pressing for greater Immigration. It is reasonable to state that per-I haps the 166,000 immigrants who. ! entered Canada during the year 'and established permanent homes made a better record than for some preceding years, when we had 400,000 immigrants, coming in. It is not the number of people who come in but the number who gecome permanent citizens of Canada who really count. More than 15,000 homesteads were taken up in the four western provinces last year."

Jack Donnelly Who Wcs Found Dead Yesterday Escaped as hy iMiraoleff) om Horrible Massacre Jolm- (Jack) Donnelly winchman for the Booth Fish- i eries, and a resident of Prince Rupert for some 15 years, who was found dead in his cabin on the waterfront yesterday, having evidently suffered a heart attack, was the soe surviving member of a family in Bidulph County, near London, Ont., which 50 years ago was massacred by a vigilance committee which mistakenly searched the family home for a man who was not present. The deceased, then four years of age, saved his life by hiding under a bed. In that pioneer agricultural district some one had been committing the offence of burn- ing haystucks and maiming I stock by cutting off the tails of the animals and otherwise abusing them. The identity of the culprit became a mystery which the authorities could not solve, and finally, a vigilance committee was .ormed in the endeavor to locate .he offender. Suspicion settled on an uncle of the late Mr. Donnelly. One evening a vigilance squad of about a dozen men set out for the Donnelly home, where a party was In prog ress. On the way they imbibed too freely of Jioupr.and were .in toxicated by the time they reached the house which was their objective. Tney rudely demanded to enter the house and take the 1 uncle. Deceased's father refused them entry and took a shotgun in his hands to back up his refusal. General shooting soon ensued and when the smoke of battle had cleared it was found that some 13 persons, including the entire Donnelly family, with the exception of deceased, as well as visiting friends, had been killed. The late Mr. Donnelly saved his own life by hiding under a bed. The "Bidulph Tragedy" came to bo known as one of the most sensational crimes ever perpetrated in the province of Ontario. The members of the vigilance committee were later apprehended and, after three trials, in all of which the jury disagreed, they were allowed to go on suspended sentence. Subsequently, it turned out that Donnelly, uncle was notj the person who had burned the haystack and maimed the animals.' '' t The lale Mr. Donnelly was born in Bidulph County and was 54 years of age. He was of Irish decent and a Catholic. lie is survived by a widow in Vancouver and two children. The widow was much in the limelight a few yeurs ago in her capacity as stenographer to Oscar Robinson, Vancouver private detective, who ttas sent to jail for illegal activities in connection with the investigation of the Janet Smith murder case. The body wos found by Andrew Macdonald, who was accustomed to have his lunch with deceased. The late Mr. Donnelly had apparently been stricken as he was about to rise from his bed yesterday morning. His body was partly lying on the bed. ! The police were called and took charge until an enquiry was held this morning by Deputy Coroner I J. R. Tannock. Evidence of the ! physician ..who 'erlprrned lJe 'autopsy wis to the effect thaT death had been due to a heart attack. Funeral arrangemeta are in the ,hands of Hayner Bros., under- ' takers.
