Church (Conservative, Toronto) outwitted the protesting Laborite on procedure to the extent that he got through second and third reading the first divorce bill on the list, standing in his name. He accocmplished it by moving that the bill re reported, such motion, if carried, leaving the bill not debatable, On the yeas and nays, his motion was carried, and the bill went through unopposed and unopposable. Before private members' hour was up four other members got bills through similarly, but this accounted for a mere handful of five out of seventy-five.

The best way to ensure consideration of it, he said, was to permit the order paper to be cleared of preceding 1LLEY Mr. Woodsworth again tonight placed formally objections against the previous method of handling di- vorce bills in bunches, und as a re- sult of his protest the House again commenced the tedious process of handling them all singly, and section by section. But the bulk of the hour was again spent in debate and the net progress was practically nil. Mr. Woodsworth's Suggestions Tonight Mr. Woodsworth made some suggestion and intimated the probability of his submitting amend- ments along the line of his sugges- tions. One of the most important considerations in connection with the oft-enacted divorce tragedy, he said, was the care and disposition of the children, and he contended that a clause covering the responsibility for such care should be inserted. --- Chinese Execute American _ Missionary is Report Was Charged With Hiding | Wounded Northern Sol- diers at Yenchowfu--Dr. Walter Seymour of For- on April 16, the Despatch States--Capture of Tsinan Completed -- (Cable Service To The Times By Canadian Press) Tokyo, Apr. 25.--A Poking des- patch says that an American Meth- odist Missionary is raported to have been executed by Nationalists at Yenchowfu on a charge of hiding wounded northern soldiers. 4 dis- | | J patch says the south:ruers have been capturing numerous towns in Shantung, but have mot harmed foreigners except at Yeanchowfu.
