W. Forbes stated in an interview here. He hoped that an agreement might be made whereby some 'adjusUient?miehUborachioved but, "considering that the duly waVpVtUil.wst as ve landed in Ottawa, the situation doesn't look any too hopeful," he said.

A.' , Hooker Meets Chamber ol Commerce1 The council of the, rQhanibtr af Commerce yesterday afternoon met T. A. Hooker. Industrial agent for the C.N.R. in London; W. T. Shute. special representative of the same department at Montreal, and W. H. M. Johnston, Industrial agent for the railway at Vancouver. Mr. Hooker ouUlned the scope of the work being done by his department. While the raUway welcomed the United States capitalists who came to the country and started In dustries, they were anxious to interest British capital more than was done today. The chief difficulty was one of distance. While American firms could operate subsidiaries on this side of the line quite easily and keep up a constant supervision this was ahno.it impossible from London, rn fact the businesses that had been successful in Canada were thn.s, ' hat were operated under Canadian tianagenv it with a local board of I Urectara.

HIT M I fnrn S I rri I A 4 jrtp K V w J A i ZiAa.U JURY TRIAL Election Cases May Be Set Forward to Spring Assizes Six Months " ' Heuee" Itl Word has been reclved (ocally from Attorney General Pooley that he wishes the local election perjury teaser tried, before a jury rather than before a Judge. Ordinarily, defendants In most criminal cases have the right of el-eetlon. to say whether they would prefer to be tried before a Jury at the next assizes or to take speedy trial before a county court Judge. In this case speedy trial before a Judge was asked and, when Judge Young refused to take the caw for personal reasons, local lawyers asked that the AsaUe Judge be appointed to take It. This was not done but now that the Assises arc over the attorney general says the cases should be tried by a Jury. The last spring assises were dated iir May 12 'and that is probably about the time the next will be h?ld herd, unless a special assize is called, but-that seems hardly likely for su:hi comparatively unimport ant cases.
