Ottawa, Jan. 25,--There is to be no investigation into the remarriage of Florence and Ward Bagby at tue county jail by the Provincial Attor- ney-General. This was made plain this morning, whem a communica- tion was read from E. Bayley, De puty Attorney-General for Ontario, to the County Council. The letter exprases the view of Hon. Mr. Raney, Attorney-General, in regard to the request of the County Council, that the complaint of Rev. R. H, Steacy, pastor of All Saints' Westboro Church, be investi- gated by the Attorney-General's De- partment, The action of the county council was taken, following a strong pro- test against the remarriage of the couple in the jail, which was made by Mr. Steacy at the bar of tne county council. Mr. Steacy prutest- ed that a priest was allowed to per- form a form of marriage in the Jail between two persons who had, he claimed, been fully married accord- ing to the civil law of the land. The re-marriage took place during the latter part of November, after Bagby and his wife had been con- victed in the police court on charges of having been in possession of nar- cotle drugs. Bagby, it was repre- sented, was a Protestant ana his wife a Roman Catholic. After be- Ing convicted, another form of mare riage, according to the custom of the | Roman Catholic Church, was \per- formed at the jail. The communication read by the county clerk this morning from the attorney-general's department, read: "Again referring to your recent letter with regard to the marriage of Mr, and Mrs. Ward Bagby, 1 may say that the attorney-general has al- ready written a letter, which in ef- fect states that there is, in the op- infon of his law officers, nothing criminal in what appears to have oc- curred, and that being the case he has no authority to order an {nvesti- 2atien. hg | dian CONTROL 0 COAL MINES i To Be Considered By the United States Congress. MBLC NOT PROTECTED By the Management of the Industry in the Coal Fields. Washington, Jan. 26.--An effort to pass legislation for government operation of the coal mines will be made at this session of congress. In the belief that private opera- tion of the mines has failed to meet public needs, a resolution is being framed to declare mining of coal a public utility and to authorize the government to operate these inter- ests for the benefit of the consumer. The new attitude of those seeking such action was outlined to the United Press today by Senator Da- vid Walsh, of Massachusetts, Demo- crat, who believes that government operation is the only solution of permanent ills in the fuel industry. "The anthracite shortage is not blamable upon the retail dealers nor alone upon the railroad companies," Walsh sald. "The root of the trou- ble is at the mines--is with management of the industry in the coal fields. "This failure is not a temporary one. It is not caused by a single sirlke or a single attempt by those who hold the Industry in their power tu: profiteer. 'Year after year, to a greater or lesser degree, this industry has fafl- €d to give adequate service to the public," Walsh argues that government willion dollars has been spent 'in setting up bureaus and commissions which have unsuccessfully investi- gaied the causes of the coal famine.
