SEEK NEW VENUE FOR GALLOP TRIAL Crown to Present Motion ~ Wednesday--Defence 4 Reported Opposed ¥" Quebec, Sept, 16--TFhe Crown pre- nted a motion before the Court of ing's Bench in Roberval asking that a change of venue be granted in the case of the King vs. Mrs. Emily Sprague Gallop, accused of murdering her husband, Abraham Sprague, by ad- ministering poison to him a couple of years ago, : : Mrs, Gallop has already stood trial an two occasions for this crime, be- ing found guilty on the first occasion and granted a new trial, while at the second time of asking the jury failed to agree, and was dismissed. The appeal for a change pf venue ill be based, it is reported, upon the ct that since there have been two trials in Roberval for Mrs. Gallop, it would be practically impossible to ab- 390 an impartial jury for a third oi mal. While the defence have not yet voiced their opinion it is reported that they will strenuously oppose any nge of venue, claiming that as newspapers are read much more in this district than in the Roberval sec- tor most of those who would be called to serve as jurors would have already formed an opinion in the matter, In addition they may plead that as a motion for a change of venue must be presented before the Court of King's Bench and that no such Court sits in Roberval except through special proc- lamation, ' 'EYESIGHT SPECIALIST, / Regular care of the eyes will " postpone for many years the neces: sity of wearing glasses constantly, 1516 HON 510 Niwgey Block apposite Post Offwe 2 he LEADING JEWELERS Esta blished 1886 12 SIMCOE ST, SOUTH A, G, BROOMFIELD Batteries, Electric Ropaire and Supplies Auto Accessories Oshawa Battery Service #7 King St. W. Phone 1184 London, Sept. 16.--The Prince of Wales and Prince*George arrived at Southampton during a heavy down- pour of rain. The voyage over was calm. The Prince expressed his satis- faction of his holiday and was full of appreciation of the progress of Canada with great hopes for the fu- ture. A civil welcome by the Lord Mayor of Southampton and Gen. J. E. B. Seeley was tendered them. Otherwise there were no formalities. The Prince of Wales looked very bronzed and in excellent spirits, as he stepped ashore from the Empress of Scotland. He wore a grey suit and a blue shirt and collar. He stood with his brother on the bridge of the liner waving his hat to the crowd waiting on the pier.

WOULD LIQUEFY ALBERTA COAL (Continued from page 1) coal from Alberta to Ontario is found by the Railway Commission to be $7.50 per ton, is not very en- 'ouraging, either to the East or to the West. Many of us had hoped for the day to dawn when the people of Canada might be able to enter into practical possession of one of the greatest natural resources lying dor- man within the confines of our Do- minion. The prohibitive cost of transportation may for the moment cast a gloom over our brightest hopes, but a further consideration of the question may open up to us a better situation than any yet dreamt of, Liquify the Coal and Ship the Oil The coal of Alberta seems to have been hidden away from large centres of population for some specific rea- son, for some purpose yet unrevealed to man, It is a remarkable coincid- ence that just at the time when we have learned that this great deposit cannot be moved in its raw state economically it has been discovered that the destiny of lignite and bit- uminous coal is to he converted into crude oil from which gasoline and fuel can be obtained synthetically at a cost much below the prices which now obtain for those neces- saries. It is the business of Canada at this moment to accept the inevit- able, and to apply is genius and its resources in men and money to take a full advantage of the findings of Gencral Agent Ocean Traffic C.P.R.

Let us, for instance, study the remarks of Dr. Frederick by him in November, 1926, before the International Conference on Bit- uminous Coal at Pittshurg, Pena., which conference was held under the auspices of the Carnegie Insti- tute of Technology. Passing over the technical description of the pro- cess, which he calls "the direct liquefaction of coal by means of hydrogenation," we cannot but. feel impressed with the followin~ pas- sage: "In a long period of years and after spending some millions of dol- | lars in a research station, employing | on the average one. hundred and | fifty men, the local liquefaction pro- | cess was worked out in a technical- | ly practicable and economically sat- | isfactory form. After this point was | reached in the last year, it became to begin the erection of | tion in Germany, one in the lignite territory under the auspices of the G.B.A. and S., and the other in the | Ruhr territory by the F. G, Farhen industries, under the management of Dr. Spilker. The total production of both these factories will be nearly | one million barrels per year." He also says that one ton of coal yields from forty to seventy gallons of oil, according to the quality of the coal. From these figures one can | easily gather than while we cannot | transport raw coal from Alberta to | Ontario points, we can afford to transport the desirable extract, be- cause one fifty-ton car will carry the products of two hundred and ffity tons of coal, reduced to crude oil, It needs but one argument to show that this process has passed the experimental stage, On August 9, 1927, the Standard Oil of N.J. purchased from Dr. Bergius the patent rights for the United States, So thoroughly convinced am 1 that this, or a similar method of handling the coal deposits of Alberta and Nova Scotia will obtain in the future, that I am anxious to see the people of Canada receive 'full benefit of these discoveries before they fall into the hands of private exploiters, Make it an Article of Conservative Policy To this end some one should be prepared to submit for consideration at the hands of the, resolution com- mittee of the Conservative conven- tion at Winipeg, provided the rule of procedure permit it, a resolution in some such terms as the following: "Recent discoveries having come to light, whereby the lignite and bituminous coal of Canada can be liquefied and converted economically into crude oil, be ijt therefore re- solved by this convention, that the process should be acquired for the country by the Dominion Govern- ment and held under its sole con- trol." A glance at a few figures and the perusal of a few statements made recently by men of outstanding au- thority may tend to fasten our at- tention upon the importance of this question. Canada imports 450,000,- 000 gallons of erude oil per annum, and produces only 5,000,000 gallons. Coal reserves: Alberta has 491 bil- lion tons of lignite; 182 billion tons of bituminous; Nova Scotia has five billion tons. This is sufficient to supply erude oil for the British Empire for five hundred years. Sir Robert Horne said: "One of the most wital prob- lems facing the Empire is that of the supply of natural ofl or petro- leum. Last year the Empire used 11.000.000 gallons and produced only 3.000,000 tons. The prospects for supply of natural oil are grow- ing serious. Is it too much to hope that very soon a method may be | and protect | a whole. ia i {i T iS i for the Metallurgical Congress, said of Canada: "You have also enorm- ous supplies of lignite or brown coal, and in the sciemtific treatment of that coal there lies potential wealth." 1 see only one answer to make to the crying demands of Canada, and of the British Empire. 1 believe it the duty of the Government of Can- ada to apply itself with all the energy at its command to encourage her chemists and her engineers to master this problem of producing oil from our unlimited supply of coal, and I believe also that just as Lord Kelvin stood by Niagara Falls in 1897 and directed the attention of Ontario to the untold wealth of power going to waste at that point, really gave birth to our Hydro-Elee- tric system, which has already saved us hundred of millions of dollars, so do 1 now believe that Sir Robert Horne and Sir Richard Redmayne, ; standing at the mouth of our coal mines, are merely repeating the per- formance of Lord Kelvin. If we fol- low a similar lead and nationalize our coal possibilities in this manner, we will accomplish for the whole Do- minion of Canada in the matter of fuel oil for our homes, and the re- quirements of locomotion, what the Hydro has done for Ontario in the matter of light and stationary power. Yours, ete., T. E. KAISER. Oshawa, September 12. The Mail and Empire commenting editorially on Dr. Kaiser's sugges- tion, says: "May Be a Godsend to Alberta" "The people of Alberta must not feel downhearted because members of the Domonion Board of Railway Commissioners have reported the cost of transportation from the.coal mines there to points in Ontario to! be so high as to negative the traffic. | There is still hope of Government action to bridge the gap between the freight rate the trade will stand | and the freight rate the railway, can carry for. But there is something more than that chance. In a letter | we publish in this issue, Dr. T..E. | Kaiser of Oshawa, who represents his riding in the House of Commons, | draws attention to an extremely im- | portant process that has lately been perfected for the cheap reduction of lignite and bituminous coal to fuel! constituents in a liquefied form. Of | the origin of this process and of its | economic merit he gives some ac-| count, The process was outlined by , Dr. Frederick Bergius in a paper | he read before the International Conference on Bituminous Coal at Pittshurg. After great expenditure of | time and labor and money the lique- faction of coal by means of hydro- genation was brought to pass "in a! technically practicable and economi- cally satisfactory form." Factories' for thus rendering the essence of | the coal have heen established at | two points in Germany. These fac-! tories, it ahout 1,000,000 barrels ner year, If the process is as satisfactory as | it is reported to be, it should mean | no less than a god-send to regions like Alberta that have vast deposits of hituminons coal and lignite shut out from the markets of consumption by cost of transportation. Dr. Kaiser proposes that the right to the use of this process in Canada should he obained by the Dominion Govern- ment, That Government could then control applications of the process producers and consum- ers alike against excessive charges! for the use of it.: He rightly deems ! the matter important enough to be brought hefore the Conservative Na- | tional Convention which meets in | | Winnipeg on the 10th of next month. The development of Alberta's coal re. | Sources is a matter of immense im- | portance, not ivi Biddy Y, SEPTEMBER 16, 1927 PLANE ACTIVITIES RAISE CONFLICT Quebec Protests Against Fed- eral Action in Gaspe Ottawa, Sept. 16.--The confli¢t hich has arisen between the Do- minion and Quebec Governments over airplane activities in Gaspe has brought a protest from Hon.

No appeal will be admitted, and the sen- tence will be carried out by a firing squad within 72 hours of the time the verdict was rendered, or by Wednes- day night. In passing sentence, the court de- clared it considered "as an established fact that from 1918 onward British Intelligence Service organizations have carried on energetic spying activities in the territory of the Soviet Union, utilizing for this purpose various white refugees and in individual instances finding support from the intelligence staff of certain states bordering on Russia, and their diplomatic represen- tatives." The court, according to Tass, the Russian news agency, found, regard- ing the nine sentenced to death, that "their criminal activities were of .an especially protracted nature, and pre- sent the greatest danger, particularly in connection with the fact that Bri- tish intelligence work lately has enor- mously increased." --_-- Wright Funerals J.
