BRITISH ELECTION ( Continued from page 1) the other ministers has both a So- glalist and a Liberal opponent. Altogether there are thirty-three eandidates in the twelve divisions | eomstituting a record in Birming- ham's political life, The issye with 'Birmingham briefly is whether there will be a Conservative gov- ernment or a government pledged to Socialism. The eight Liberal candidatés apparently are little in the picture. A big point is being made that the late government has sought world peace but of all the questions raised that of safeguard- is receiving perhaps most at- tention which is not at all surprig- ing in this industrial centre of a million and a thousand different occupations. Indeed it claimed no other city in the country has wo much diversity in its industry. Safeguarding, it is explained by Conservative speakers, is not pro- tection for protection has a general .appMcatton whereas safeguarding involves only a customs duty on foreign competitive manufactures imported into this country. As a result safeguarding can only assist efficient industry. Naturally the controversy con- cerning the Austen Motor Werks which are situated here and eine ploy 12,000 people has created a considerable stir in the city. 'I'he Conservatives are making as much as possible of Rt. Hon. Neville Chamberlain's achievements 'as minister of health in relation to pensions, housing and rating re- form and of Rt Hon. L. C.

PACT CONSERVES SUPPLY SOCKEYE SALMON But Conservatives Raise Ob- jections, Saying Sover- eignty Is Infringed Ottawa, May 28--Although Pre- mier Tolmic of British Columbia and J. P. Babcock, Assistant to Commis- sioner of Fisheries in that Province, an expert on salmon, have approved the Sockeye Salmon Treaty between Canada and the United States, Con- servative members of the Dominion Parliament arc siow trying to rip the hely re pieces, /CHief Whip of 'the 'party, General A. D. McRae, M.P., for North. Vancouver, got quite warm abont it in the Fisheries Committee Thursday because the pact had been signed' while Parliament was actually in session, and contended that the conclusion of such an agreement without: reference to Parliament was an outrage. British Columbia mem- bers here, mostly Conservatives, re- sent 'the placing of 100,000 square miles of Canadian territory under the joint control of the United States, in- cluding the watershed of the Fraser River. The Dominion Government experts, including D. A. Found, De- puty Minister of Fisheries, maintain the treaty is a good one, in the in- terests of the preservation of the sockeye salmon industry. Long Negotiations The treaty is the outcome of a long series of negatiptions extending, as far back as 1905, but complicated by the fact that in the United States the individual States have jurisdic- tion over their own fisheries, whereas in Canada the Federal authorities have the right of regulation and ad- ministration of fisheries in all the Provinces. The Fraser River water- shed, which is 100,000 square miles in extent, is potentially the greatest sockeye salmon producing area in the world. The ingress to this vast network of spawning grounds is via the Straits of Juan de Fuca by way of the Fraser itself. The salmon, which return to their spawning grounds after a long sea journey from unknown northern waters, at the southern end of Vancouver Is- land, every four years cross over to the American sidé and ascend by a tortuous passage through islands and up American waters until they enter the Fraser River, It is in those waters that for a long time they have been ingercepted by State of Wash~ ington fishermen, who employ a wholesale system of fishing by fish- traps and purse seives by means of which they have been able to cap- ture from 70 to 75 per cent of - the salmon canning catch, and that with a comparatively small number of men ------ o NISSINARY HELD CAPTIVE IN CHINA Wife and Children Make Escape When Compound Is Attacked Amoy, Fukien, China, May 28.-- Dr: C.

Newcastle, May 28. ~The pipes of Pan have not béen heard in New- castle; but residents are content that they should remain in the locality of tReir origin. For Newcastle has youth-made music of its own which may be heard without the trouble of searching in fairy meadows in the dawn or dewy eves. This pretty Durham county village is developing its own cultural atmo- sphere, so far as music is concerned. It already takes justifiable pride in fifty young musicians who, on Em- pire day, provided a patriotic pro- gram for the community--a program that was not only pleasing 'in itseli but which revealed incipient genius, notwithstanding" the simple 'instrum- ents of expression. This very simpli- city made the music charming. Parents joined their children in cel- ebrating Empire day. About two hun- dred of the villagers attended a school children's concert in the com- munity hall during the afternoon, the feature of which was a number of selections by the harmonica and ukulele band comprised of public and high school students, This is one of the . most unique school organizations in Canada. In spite of its still embryonic character, it is able to play with. a precision and artistic understanding that speaks well for its instructor, Miss Hattie A. Mason, the school scuperviscr of music, and for the application of its members. Included in it are four ukuleles, forty harmonicas, a triangle, a banjo and a piano. They play chiefly in unison; but recently some of the per- formers have been developed to the point where part playing is possible; and Thursday's program included a number of selections in. which alto and tenor parts were added to the soprano. Within the limits imposed by their instruments, the young play- ers show an appreciative regard for those modulations of force and tem- po by which' interpretation is accom- plished in an ensemble; and some of their staccato cffects are suggestive of a choir of muted violins, soften- | ed by the reedier tones of the upper- register woodwinds. The board of education makes a generous allowance to Miss Mason for her routine work of musical in- struction ; but the band is a voluntary, self-supporting undertaking on her part and that of the students. It was organi2ed a year ago last Febru- ary and gave its first public perform- ance, shortly afterwards before the teachers' convention at Port Hope. A year ago Empire day. it played in the community hall, its first bid for general public approval. At that time it had but -eightéen members and now has forty-eight, ranging in age from eight to eighteen years, Members subscribe an annual fee of fifty cents cach and provide their own Chinese houses were molested. instruments and costumes,- which for, 4 L RARE MUSICAL TREAT GIVEN i BY NEWCASTLE STUDENTS -------------- the girls is a white middy with blue tie and blue skirt and for the boys white sports shirts and blue trousers, This year the board of education has decided to give it a small cash grant. The band does not function along haphazard lines. It has an executive, presided oyer by Alex. DeMaio, pre- sident of the high school literary so- ciety, The musicians are not of the type that "play by ear." Instruction is from proper text books and each player is required to read his part as in major bands, a task involving many hours of voluntary study in the. rudi- ments of music. Over half of the members have been in the band only three and a half months and perfec- tion is not claimed for them. But Miss Mason is painstakingly working to- wards an .ideal that is not elusive and which another year's work will bring appreciably closer. Thomas. A. Rodger, principal of the public school, presided at Thursday's entertainment and opened it by call ing for open minute's silent thanks- giving for the recovery of the King. Later 'on during the program, Reeve W. F. Rickard congratulated the school children upon their fine per- formance and explained the origin of Empire day some thist¥ years ago, following the suggestion of Mrs. Fessenden of Hamilton and its adop- tion by Hon. George "W. Ross, at that time minister of education for Ontario. He told of the subsequent spread of the holiday to all parts of the empire. At another place upon the program Rev. W. P, Rogers spoke, saying that tribute it still paid on this occasion to the memory of a long deceased sovereign because the Victorian era had a style and flavor all its own. There was a high spiritual flavor at her court, and the training in citizen- ship provided by the Empire day fe- tes in the schools is invaluable in directing young minds to the tasks that lic ahead. In addition to the selections played by the band, a number of its mem- bers gave solo numbers, duets and a few vocal solos. A group of twelve boys demonstrated the possibilities of houth organs for three-part playing, while several of the band pieces were played in two parts. The pleasing ef- fect of so many mouth organs play- ing together was quite unexpected, and when the time comes for the band to advance from elementary se- lections, it would not be surprising if national recognition were accord- ed its work.

LEAN FOUND, LOST SINCE 1927 Reported Seen at Various Times in Oshawa and Bowmanville Toronto, May 28--Given cither dead or completely vanished fore more than a year, Major Os- borne Lean of Toronto, last night reappeared with breath-taking sud- denness in this city for thé first time since he was reported missing, -on Nov. 29, 1927. He walked into the home of his brother-in-law, R. F. Rowlands, 242 Rusholme road, suffering from al- most complete lapse of memory and from other conditions which made it necessary to place him under the care of -a doctor. He was so ill and weary from his wanderings that he was put to bed and guarded from any visitors except Mrs. Lean, their $mall son, Harvey, other immediate relatives and his former spiritual adviser, Rev. J. B. Paulin, who was one of the last to talk to him prior to his, even now, unexplained disappearance. "Major Lean has been suffering from a complete lapse of memory," said Mr. Rowlands to The Mail and Empire last night. "That, really, is about all that can be said. He re- turned to the city yesterday, his memory somewhat cleared, but still very weak, and extremely tired. He appears to have come into town from Ottawa way, somewhere." "By train?" he was asked . "Probably," was the reply. "He is still under the doctor's care and probably will be for quite some time. I would not say that his mem- ory is really foggy, or absent, any longer, for he knows who he is, and found his way home. But he is quite sick, thin, and there is no adequate word with which to describe his utter weariness," continued Mr. Rowlands in answer to further questioning. "We have no idea where he has been nor has he; outside of the fact that he came back from somewhere Ott- awa way, we have no, information whatever." The theory at the time of Major Lean's disapeparance that he had had a lapse .of memory was given sup port last night by his condition when he arrived. Relatives attributed his possible amnesia fo several wounds he suffered during service he saw in both the Boer and Great wars. He was an Australian by birth, but lived in South Africa and later came to Canada. His disappearance was most baf- fling to relatives and police, 'A my- sterious stranger answering to Major Lean's description was report- ed seen in a dozen small places near Bowmanville and Oshawa, but at- tempts to track down the clues al- ways proved fruitless. up as|! .| whaleboat Helmen is on its way to BOSSES DO LOOK AT GIRLS' LEGS Personality Counting More and More in Business, Says Authority New York, May 28.--Teachers College at Columbia, through its household arts department, come out strong for silk stockings for all working girls, decreeing that silk hosiery is not & luxury, but provides a "necessary beauty" in this commercial age.

Almost a year ago--May 26--the Italia, with Gen. Umberto Nobile in command, crashed north of Spitzbergen. The main cabin, con- taining most of the crew, fell to the ground, but the dirigivle itself with Pontremoli, Lago, Arduino, Caratti, Alessandri and Ciocca within it sailed on toward the east. Neither it or the men were seen again. The Heiman, which left Bergen last week, is in charge of Gianni Albertini, engineer of the Italia, who believes they are still alive. Even if dead, he thinks their fam- ilies and the world are entitled to know what became of them. It was Albertini's belief that only an expedition equipped with all the means for combatting the forces of the Arctic could succeed in finding the six lost men, Wealthy eiti- zens of Milan who financed the No- bile expedition, among others, gave him funds for his purpose. Pope Pius XI, gave 50,000 lire--$2,600. In addition to information which he himself gleaned from the terri- ble experience the Italia expedition afforded him, meteorological sta- tions at Svalbard, New Samlia, and in Arctic Siberia' furnished him with data at their command. In line with their recommenda- tions and his own knowledge he has circumscribed his zone of search as within the following boundaries: northern coast of Northeastern Land, the sea zones around the Great Gilles and Victoria Islands. Expeditions of reconnoitering will take in the Wyche Islands and the north and west coasts of the Franz Josef Archipelago. The Heiman is a whaler of 160 tons constructed only last year ac- cording to the most modern ideas for combatting the pressure of Arc- tice ice. It is built throughout of Cananian pine, particularly adapt- ed to resisting ice forces, Other féatures involve a capacity for eighty tone of motor oil, which is a twélvemonth supply, and a com- plete radio equipment, both short and broad wave lengths. Twenty dogs and a complemen- tary sledge equipment are being taken along with food sufficient for a ten-months' cruise. The sledges and suxiliary motor boats are equipped with wireless to keep them in touch with the mother ship. NOTED HUNTER WHO KILLED 800 SNAKES Precious Venom of "Milk- ing' Mambas in Natal Petermaritzburg, S.A, May 28-- e of the most amazing men in South Africa, a hunter of deadly snakes, who has just killed his eight- hundredth mamba, is 'W.
