Ottawa, April 25.--All hopes of having a division om the Robb budget vapished with the adjourn- ment of the Hous8 last night, until Monday, and it is even doubtful with the number of speakers yet to be heard from that there will be a di- vision next Thursday night. Yesterday afternoon the debate was resumed and J. F. Fafard, Lib- eral member for L'Islet declared that instead of the budget of last year closing factories that new factories were opening up everywhere throughout the Dominion. He also . argued that the Conservative oppo- sition exaggerated the prosperity thé United States was-supposed to en- joy. Notwithstanding the demands for economy, Mr. fafard urged fur- ther development of the Quebec har- bor, which he considered was not a local, but a national project. CO, W. Stewart (Progressive, Hum-~ boldt) said he would vote against the budget. Neither could he sup- port the Drayton amendment. The latter, he compared with the thin gauze curtain used on the stage. As long as a fierce light was kept on it, 2 ony: BALI i Do Da WJ amendment, when the ght was switched off, was revealed, not lower | taxation, but 'the barren rocks of extra tariff imposition." L. J. Ladner, Conservative mem- ber for Vancouver Centre, stated that the fiscal policy of Canada to- day was being determined by a small proportion of agricultural interestd in disregard of manufacturing and , other interests of the country. He believed Canada should manufacture her own raw materials instead of ex- porting them in their raw state, MINISTER'S HONOR WAS NOT IMPUTED Hon. James Murdock Thought Parry Sound Member Had Questioned His Honor. Ottawa, April 25.--When Hon. James Murdock, minister of Labor, rose in the House of Commons, yes- terday afternoon on a question of privilege, he referred to statements made by Col. J. Arthurs, Conserva- tive, Parry Sound, saying, "That in effect the honorary gentleman called me a lar." Speaker Lemieux ruled the ques- tion out on the grounds that the minister's honor had not been im- puted. + Col. Arthurs rose to say he had no desire to infringe upon the min- ister's honor, Mr. Murdock undertook to explain his position in the matter, and to re- peat the statements he had previous- ly made, but the speaker said that the minister had already spoken on the budget and that he could not consider that there was a question of privilege before the house. The 'West enquired about the of another conference on val programme included in the 1926 budget was voted yesterday, with only the Communists opposing, the vote being 422 to 29. The naval programme calls for laying keels this year of one light cruiser, three destroyers, four tor- pedo boats, seven first-class sub- marines, nine submarine mine lay- ers, one surface mine layer, and one aviation mother ship. The programme from 1925 to 1929 calls for laying the keels of 75 naval units, at a total cost of 3,194,- 000,000 frances. Only forty million francs will come out of the 1925 budget.

O. Earl He sald the "of Quéen's, at Nepanee. Napanee, April 25.--The lecture in Historical Hall last night before the Historical Society was an entire- ly new departure, the subject being treated in a purely scientific man- ner by one who did it competently and well, Professor R. O. Earl of Queen's University. His lecture was entitled, "The Trend of the Human Race." He spoke of the improvement so- cially and otherwise at the present time. In the latter part of the last cen- tury, owing to medical science and an improved mode of living, the birth rate was lower but the mor- tality amongst infants was still low- er and the span of life was longer, Unfortunately, while all over the world the population is rapidly in- creasing, that increase comes from the less desirable strata of hu- marnity, the degenerate, criminal, feeble minded, and incompetent classes. People of the better class- es are making small contribution to population and this is a serious matter. At the present rate of increase in population and the available pro- ductive land in the world, the earth would in a hundred years have reached the limit of its ability to sustin its inhabitants for it takes two and a half acres of good land to pro- vide for each person in the world. Science Doing Utmost. Science is doing its utmost to cope withthe diseases of 'plant and ani- mal life by research work, so that the production will, always equal the demand and it was the duty of every one to help along this excellent work for the good of the human Prof. Earl said that Canada held .| action and such action would be in- spe . "" Conditions Resulting," Says Ottawa, April 25.--Col. William Gear, vice-president of the Robert Redford Company, was again called when the special parliamentary com- mittee met yesterday afternoon. He sald that as far as he knew, none of the conference lines operated tramp steamers. He did not think tramp steamers had any organization or united control of rates. He said there were no rates fixed as between various companies in the cattle trade. Mr. Gear explained that the view of shippers were given very careful consideration by the confer- ence in fixing rates. "Without the shipper's goodwill," he said, "we would go broke." He explained that grain was the least profitable of any cargo. Hon. ub. Stevens asked Col. Gear, if it was possible to reduce port charges in Canada, agd if such reduction would result in reducing rates. Col. Gear replied that steam- ship companies had advocated that port charges be reduced. "Are there too many ships for the cargoes offered to-day," Col, Gear was asked. - ber of steamers might Raa boy Tf Tate to be sous to hear the howl when it was done," was the reply. He insisted that the Canadian shipper démanded a regu- lar weekly service and would not stand for a reduction in ships. A New Economic Condition. Mr. Shaw asked Col. Gear what would be the effect if ten ships sub- sidized by the government, and working in association with the Canadian Government Merchant Marine outside the conference, were placed in the North Atlantic trade. Would the result be the raising or the lowering of rates? Col. Gear replied that such action would create a new economic condi- tion. The first results might be that the present conference steamship lines would stay out of the trade al- together. Secondly, they might de- cide to meet the condition and re- duce their rates to those of the sub- sidized government line. In the course of time the St. Lawrence trade would be destroyed. "We would have to meet the rates and the final result would be de- moralization." The reason was that trade was international. Reduction of rates in Canada would force a reduction in the States, because ship- pers would immediately demand the reduction. Finally the United States shipping board would have to také jurious to Canada, as they would i ables.

London, April 25.--Although no further developments on a large scale have been reported from Bul- garia during the past twenty-four hours, despatches make it clear that the situation is one of great tension and causing as much anxiety to gov- ernments of other countries as to Bulgaria itself. The administration ct Premier Tzankoff still hold the upper hand, according to latest re- ports, but news reaching London is not sufficient to justify a prediction as to whether the government can maintain it. The extent and severity of the measures the government has employed and is employing, to down its enemies are the subject of con- flicting reports. Order Being Restored.

Paris, April 25.--King George. . and Queen Mary yesterday paid their first official visit to Paris since just after the end of the war. They lunched with Presi- dent Doumergue and later the king laid a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier beneath the Arc de Triomphe. To their visit no special po- litical importance is attached. It was an act of courtesy on the return of the recuperative holiday the king has been en- joying on his yacht in the Mediterranean, At the same time the visit has served to em- phasize the better relations which exist between the Allies since the end of the Ruhr epis- ode. The reception of the Bri- tish monarchs by the crowd was eagerly sympathetic, and the king's action in visiting the tomb of the Unknown Soldier made a particular appeal to French sentiment just at this moment when with discussion going on of the possibility of a treaty with Germany, the French are inclined to think themselves deserted by their former friends.

London, April 25.~Parliament square, outside St. L's church, Westminster, was filled with to-day were investigating the burg- lary at the home of Prince Erik of Denmark here yesterday, in which two rings valued at $4,000 were taken. Several fur pieces and fur coats valued at $8,500 were wrapped up by the burglars but left behind, they evidently having been sur- prised. The burglary, it was reported to police officers by Prince Erik, oc- curred while the prince and princess, formerly Miss Lois Booth of Ottawa, Ont., were out motoring. Masons To (Get Dollar ran Hour And Will Have a Working Week of Pong2es Jats ere- It was announced on Saturday morning that commencing on May 1st the masons; brick layers and plasterers of Kingston will be paid at the rate of $1.00 an hour. Some time ago the Masons Union, which includes plasterers, stone masons "brick layers, made & demand upon the bosses for a wage increase from 90 cents to $1.00 an hour, with a forty-four hour week. The . bosses, it is announced, have all signed the agreement which will £0. into effect on Friday next. This ~|-will be a-good-thing- for the build- ing trade in Kingston as the work on the large contracts, underway at the present time, will not be tied up on account of a dispute over wages. A meeting of the members of the Masons Union has been held and all expressed their appreciation to the bosses in agreeing to the wage in- crease. For years the Kingston masons have been working forty-eight hours a week. The new agreement will mean that the masons will not work on Saturday afternoon in future. SIR ADAM BECK.

It is a legacy left by the public school board in the early nineties of the past century. This board and the then Collegiate Institute Board, be- fore amalgamation into the Board of Education, each bought sites on a block of land on Alfred streei and erected schools. The vacant land was leased from the government, at a nominal rental, for playgrounds for the schools, a clause in the lease declaring that if the land was used for other purposes the lease would lapse. Years later the Board of Educa tion added an eight room addition to the Victoria School "and ens croached on the leased land by addi- tions to the Collegiate Institute. Recently the board was advised of the lapse of the lease and was asked what it intended to do about it. If it desired further use of the land it could have it by paying six per cent. for a stated period, on a valuation to be fixed. The Board was also cxpected to pay for the land it had taken upon which | make sthool addi sa Mr, J. M. Campbell was called and he interviewed the dep at Ottawa and the facts were tained.
