Toronto, April 20.--Immigrant smuggling rings, with agencies in Toronto, Montreal, Hamilton and other large Canadian cities, will be broken up this season when they commence to unload contraband cargos of humanity at the Niagara frontier, say United States govern- ment officials who are mustering their forces in Buffalo to stop the traffic. Shirley D. Smith, for more than a score of years chief of the U. 8S. immigration authorities for the Nia- gara district, asserts his force of 150 experienced officers, all heavily armed, have been ordered to wipe out the business. Aiding the immi- gration officials will be the United States coastguard forces. Four 76- foot cruisers will be added to the equipment for work along the Nia- gara smuggling areas. The smugglers' rates for bringing aliens into United States from Can- ada average $75 for each. In some cases immigrants contract to pay smugglers as high as $500. TAXATION POWERS ISSUE. IN ONTARIO Clash Between the Province and the Dominion Likely ~--Talk of Elections. Toronto, April 20.--The Toronto Star says: "It looks as if federal politics and Ontario politics under the Ferguson Government are in for a real clash. There is a growing opinion at Queen's Park, according to those high in official positions, that soon- er or later a definite understanding will have to be arrived at on the question of the taxing powers of the province and the dominion. The difficulty encountered by the govern- ment in imposing the beer and gaso- line taxes and keeping within the" powers of the province is adding to the restiveness of the Ontario au- thorities. ( "The recent visit of Rt. Hon. Ar thyr Meighen to Toronto to confer with Conservative chiefs is under- stood to be in connection with On- tario's part in the forthcoming fed- eral elections. One of the questions under consideration, it is wunder- stood, is whether the Ontario Gov- ernment, following the example of Sir James Whitney, will be able to go to the country before W. L.

Old Man Winter staged probably the biggest comeback of all history ofn Sunday. Just as all the happy heirs were gathered about the grave to see him put away for the season, he suddenly sat up and put a rude finger to his nose. It was probably his dying gesture, but one never knows when life has left the old dog.

When Dr. Boak was found guilty of the charge, he immediately decided to appeal his case, and his solicitor was successful in winning the appeal, and a new trial was ordered. Since the appeal was granted the British Col- umbia eourts have decided that the Supreme Court of Canada will have the final say. Dr. Boak is well known in King- ston, having graduated from Queen's in 1913. He went direct to Victoria, B.C., after graduation and has been there ever since. Dr. Boak after being convicted of the charge was allowed his freedom until his case was finally decided by putting up $10,000 bail The Accident. On the night of August 20th, Dr. Boak, in company with Arthur Lewis, the snap back of Queen's senior rugby team, and Audrey Jones a member of Queen's senior basketball team, were returning to Victoria after being out for the evening. Upon reaching a point. that is known as the Saanick Road, Dr. Boak, who was driving his car, blew the horn for the motorist ahead of him, warning him that he intended to pass. It is claimed that the mat- orist did not pay any attention to Dr. Boak's horn, and he decided to try and pass the car. When in the act of passing, something appeared to go wrong and Dr. Boak's car climbed the bank which was about ten feet high, went over it and then after missing about ten trees went up unto the railway track a short distance away. When the motor wrecking crew arrived from Victoria to take Dr. Boak's car from the place where it had landed, it was discovered that the bodies of A. D. McLachland, aged sixty-seven, and D. T. Ball- antyne, aged sixty-six years were ly- ing in the ditch by the side of the road, a short distance away. Dr. Boak was arraigned before the po- lice magistrate on the morning of August 21st, pleaded not gullty to the charge of mansalughtér, and was allowed out on $10,000 bail. ---- The Trial. The hearing of the case at the sitting of the high court, the latter part of September, took about thir- teen days which was the longest case on record for the province.

The actual revolt was under the leadership of Major Filomeno Ca~ mara, who was supported by cavalry, artillery and infantry, several hune dred strong. Major Camara's first act wis to overthrow the directory, the governing body, and to place a number of the officials under arrest. President Teixeira Gomes and some of the ministers took refuge in the main barracks, and shortly after- wards loyal troops surrounded the rebels at their meeting place, the Paco da Rotondo..In the meantime, eerious disturbances occurred in var- fous parts of the city, where bombs were thrown and many killed.

Another of the leaders arrested was the head of the Nationalists. A government announcement says that the revolutionaries had planned to place Cordes at the head of their ministry.

The whole country is reported now to be quiet, though meagre news of sporadic risings in the provinces has filtered in.
