The document is some five inches wide, and consists of strips of veli- um, each of which is stamped, In length it is about 15 to 16 feet. The "true and perfect In- ventory" of all of Newton's effects, taken by order of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, has, at last, been discovered at Somerset House, This "Inveptory'" is so complete that it enable us to reconstruct the furnishing of Newton's house in St, Martin's-in-the-Fields, and it also shows us what an ordinary, well- to-do English gentleman's home was like in 1727. Study and Books Perhaps the first thing that strikes one is the large number. of curtains and hangings that were in the rooms. Sir Isaac Newton was extremely fond of crimson, which was, apparently, the domipant col- in "early all the rooms. which was "one pair of stairs fore- ward," we find: "Crimson mohair bed, complete with case curtains of crimson Harrateen; a feather bed, bolster, a down pillow, three blankets, and a ""callico guilt." This last was ,probably, a brightly col- ored cotton material, printed with imitation cashmere designs, and quilte: ith cotton, such as js called . [ndia a *"Rezai." The hangings of the room were of crimson mohair "lined with can- vas." The color of the window cur- tains is pot specified, but they would seem to have been of crim- son mohajir--possibly, also, "lined with canvass," A large glass, in glass and gold frame, over the chimney, and pic- tures, copstituted the other chief articles of furniture. " In the "closet" adjoining we find there was a "silk satee," two cush- ions, a card table, and a "peerglass, near Tsinan, with three pairs of window eur- tains, Hospital Superintendent Killed Mission by Chinese Troops Service to The Times by Canadian Press) (Cable Shanghai, April 30.--A message re- coved today from the Presbyterian tiissionary in southern Shangtung said that Dr. Walter Seymour, sup- erintendent of the Presbyterian Hos- pital at T sining, bad ben sldin by soldiers when he tried to prevent them irom catering the girls' dormi- tory ' The message said the Nationalists surrounded Tsining on April 16.

S. Mec. Laughlin--Murray Miller in Charge Mr, Holt Gurney, of the Gurney Foundry Co., Ltd., Toronto, and a well known Canadian Wiaincas man, was the speaker at a well tended luncheon of the Rotary club held in Welsh's parlors at noon today, Nir, Gurney's address was on Canada's need for greater pop- ulation and some of the remedies that might be applied, and he im- pressed his hearers as a man who was thoroughly conversant with this subject so vital to the econ- omic welfare of the nation, Col, R, 8. McLaughlin introduc- ed the speaker of the day as an efficient business man who was following worthily in the foot- steps of an illustrious father, the late Edward Gurney, After thanking Col, McLaughlin for his kind introduction Mr, Gurney told the Rotarians that Canada had one or two national problems which needed solution and he thought that it was a good plan for men gathered together in just such groups as this to discuss these problems, One principal problem facing Canadian business was the country's need for more people, A fairly accurate barometer of a nation's business, stated the speaker, was found in its produc- tion of coal, iron, steel and oil, But recently he had received a publication from a large German bank dealing with economic con- ditions the world over. This pub- lication contained some very en- lightening figures on agricultural and other developments in the various countries of the world. Mr, Gurney read an extract from this tabulation showing the rela- tive standing of aCpada and the United States. Taking the year 1913 as a basis and representing that year by the figure 100 in each case, the following percen- tages for 1926 were obtained. U.S. Can. 121 206 111 600 93 124 100 139 109 128 m7 133 105 220 110 109 Potatoes ,, 100 105 The above figures represent numbers in the case of livestock and bushels in field products, From the above will be seen that Canada has been making splendid strides agriculturally as compared with her neighbor to the south, Unfortupately, Mr, Gurney pointed out, a comparison of the production of the two coun- tries in coal, pig iron and steel is not so favorable to Canada, the figures being as follows: U.S. 118 Wheat, , Rye ::» Horses ,, Cattle Pigs ... Sheep. ,, Barley , .. Oats . i. LJ JE RE BENE Ee Can. Pig Irom .. 75 Coal. 103 69 Steel 2s 145 78 The United' States with 18.8 per cent. of the world's visible iron products had contributed 48 per cent, of the world's supply of iron and steel, Capada with slightly over 7 per cent. had contributed but 8 per cent. of the world's sup- ply. Mass production, he claimed, was the gospel of United States and he forecasted a time when American industries would at- tempt to exploit the Canadian mar- ket to an-even greater extent than witnessed oday. It was quite easy to blame all economic evils upom the goverp- ment, Mr. Gurney suggested, but he thought that conditions could be best improved by hard work and co-operation. However, he did not think that the country had boasted of a first class immigra- tion department since the Great War, speaking from a purely bus- iness standpoint. He made brief comment upon the tariff and sug- gested that = certain industries needed adequate proteetion where- as duties might well be lowered on such things as specialized ma- chinery. 'The iron and steel in- dustry also meeded more protec- ed more 'protection because the price had steadily adavmced but the duty was fixed on 8 tonpsge Blew Up Toun, Communists Are Sentenced to Die (Cable Surrien fo to The Times by Canadian Press) Sofia, Bulgaria, April 30.-- Eight members of the Bulgar- ian Agro Communists party were sentenced to death yes- terday for blowing up the town of Godec some months ago and thereby causing death and Ynjury to many per- sons, DELAY A DRAWBACK STATES FERGUSON No Reason for Delay Pend. ing Canalization of St. Lawrence (By Canadian Press) Toronto, April 30.--Thére was no reason why the St, Lawrence development scheme should be de- layed pending the canalization of the river, Premier G.

An ultimatum de- manding the withdrawal of the bill within three days was handed the Egyptian government last night. The situation today was grave and fraught with serious possibilities, al- though n official circles in London it was thought that the difficulties were | not insurmountable and that the sky might clear suddenly, There was no effort however to minimize the seri- ousness of the crisis. The Egyptian Government has until seven p. m, May 2, to comply with the British demand that the bill for the Regulation of Public Meetings and Demonstrations be withdrawn, Sir Austen Chamberlain, Foreign Secretary, in making this an- nouncement in the House of Com- mons today, said that Lerd Lloyd, British High Commissioner, on in- structions from the British Govern- ment had handed to the Egyptian Premier a final warning last even- ing. The British note requests the Premier, as head of the Egyp- tian Government, immediately to take the necessary steps to prevent the public assemblies bill from be- coming law, and also requesting him to give categorical assurance in writing that the measure would not be proceeded with, Should this assurance not reach him before sev~ Many Char Against es Are Laid ruck Owners for Having Too Heavy Loads A considerable amount of over- loading has heen found on trucks travelling the highwe. * this spring, stated Traffic Officer . W, Reid, Pickering, to The C hawa Daily Times this morning, Some 25 to 30 ch~rges under this section of the Highwa: "rafc A have been laid each week in Pickering, and an equal number in Toronto, as a re- sult of the activities of highway traffic officers. Four officers have been station- ed at the Government scales near West. Hill this spring, including Cicer Reid. Trucks apparently overloaded have been run onto the scales, and about ton a day have been found sufficien"- seriously evading the law that summonses were issued. The active checking up of trucks ceases this week, with the coming of warmer weather, but officers will be stationed at inter- yals at the scales for a few days yet, to check upon the casual de- linquents, Three Believed Dead When Freight Car basis and the percentage of pro- tection had therefore been reduc- ed with the advance in value, Mr. Gurpey quoted Sir Joseph Flayelle as stating that Canada's capital had increased to a tremen- dous extent but with material wealth in great abundance.

Prisoners are beaten with sticks and clubs, smacked in the face, pushed and ., maltreated in every possible manner. "The general conditions of the prisons, especially of those used for temporary imprisonment, as re- gards sanitary arrangements, food, sleeping accommodation, etc, are simply dreadful, "It would suffice to say that facts have come to our knowledge of people with malignant diseases be- ing allowed to mix freely with the rest, drinking water from the same utensils, using promiscuously the same blankets, which are collected in the morning and distributed in a haphazard fashion in the evening," " "Fists and Sticks" "This regime, invariably en- forced by a free use of fists and sticks, applies equally to people guilty of heinous: offences, to or- dinary street thieves and pick~ pockets, as well as to people im- prisoned for debt--the days of Mi- cawber have not yet passed in Palestine--and last but not least, to political and 'industrial' prison- ers." As a typical instance of the bru- tality exercised towards prisoners, Ben Gurion cites the case of Idel- son, the secretary of the Petach- Tikvah Labor Council, He was arrested on December 16 in connection with the forcible dis- persing of pickets during a strike. He was tried on December 28 and ordered to be released at once, But as the trial terminated at a very late hour, the magistrate expressed his regret at the impossibility of an immediate release, adding that "the. prime authorities would have 1delson for another night. 2 y ' *Nevt Toa A says Ben Gur- fon, "at 6 a.m. a policeman entered the room, crowded with prisoners, shouting for 'the man who is to be released today' to step out.
