Paid King's Bills For Bermuda Trip, Says McDougald Ottawa, July 22.--Revelation 'that Senator Wilfred Laurier Mc- Dougald paid Right Honorable W. L. MacKentie King's hotel bill n Bermuda =a year ago last Easter and charged it up to the Beauharnois Power Corporation, without the former Prime Minister's knowledge, was the highlight of evidence submit- ted to the special committee of the House of Commons yesterday afternoon in connection with the investigation into the affairs of the St. Lawrence water-power project. Senator MeDougald, who was on the witness stand testified that the expense account covering the former Prime Minister's hotel bill had heen rendered to the com- pany in error by his private sec- retary, and added that when he had yard the mistake he at once wrote to the company ask- Ing them to return the voucher to him, and refunding the money to them, It was true, he said, that he had paid the win for Mr, King's hotel roem, but it was never his intention that the Beau- harpois company should reim- purse him for that, The explana- tion was that his secretary had sent the wrong bill fo the Beau- Larnois Company. He should have sent the Senator's bill, hut instead sent the Prime Minister's bill and omitted to send the Senator's bill, : No News to Ottawa Ordinarily the disclosure that the former Prime Minister's ho- te! expenses in Bermuda had been paid indirectly by the Beauhare nois Power Corporation would have caused a tremendous sensa- tion on Parliament HU! and doubtless will occasion some am- azement threughout the Domin- ion, but it contained no element of surprise in the crowded com- mittee room, because it has heen the subjects of gossip in Par'ia. mentary corridors for more than a week. It was Robert Gardiner, the farmer from Acadia, Alia,, whose speach precipitated the Beauhar- nols inquiry, who suggested that the Bermuda incident be made public, and Peter White K.C., at once produced voucher and cheque for the former Prime Min. ister's Hotel expenses, which had been uncovered by the commis tee's auditors and had been {in- speeted hy the members of the committee more than a week ago. U.S.A, MAGAZINES ARE T0 COST MORE Association Secretary Prophesies Five Cent Increase Ottawa, July 22. -- The duties on magazines of two cents a copy devoted to ad- vertisements is between 20 and 30 per cent. and five cents when it is over 30 per cent, of the total publication, will have a very important effect on United States magazines coming into Canada, according to G. C. Lucas, New York, executive recretary of the National Publishers' Association. The new imposts come into effect on September 1, Most of the popular U.S. magazines will come under the five cent rate, he said. On the news-stands the increase will be somewhat more than five cents, because the distributors will have to provide against the copies on which they pay duties and of which they are unable to dispose. In regard to the magazines sold on subscription, the U. S. publishers will mail them in the United States and the subscriber will have to pay the duty in Can- ada, Mr, Lucas sald, In the past to save the zone postage the magazines for Canada were shipped by freight over the Cana- dian border and put into the mails on this side. It meant a revenue for the post office de- partment of $400,000 a year. Since the shipments would be met by the tariff at the border, they will now be malled in the United States, so that the sub- scriber and not the publisher will have to pay the duty. Thig will mean that the U.S. mailg will get the postage revenue, The understanding was that religious magazines - would come into Canada free but Mr. Lucas id not think the wording covers Lt. All Sunday special editions of the newspapers will have to meet a 15 cent a copy impost.

Eagle clecled overhead where she could look down and see , everything. Mrs. Fleetfoot's keen eyes had taken note of King Eagle circling high overhead and she knew that he knew what was going on, But as long as she had the two Coy- otes to fight she gave no thought to King Eagle, Afterward she re- membered him. "Oh, dear," said she. "It is bad enough to have to watch for en- emies on the ground without hav- ing to wateh for them in the air as well. However, I expected King Eagle would discover that I have babies. Not much escapes those keen eyes of his and he has such an advantage, looking down from way up in the sky, that it is hard to keep anything from him, How- ever, he was as badly fooled as those Coyotes. If 1 can keep them all fooled another day my darling will be strong enough to travel a little and then we will move away from here. In a week or 88 more they will be too big and strong to be of interest to King Eagle. He'll be sure to be back here the first thing in the morning." So very early, before daylight, she fed the babies and left them, warning them to remain quiet as they had the day before. Sure enough, no sooner was it light enough to see when King Eagle and Mrs. Eaagle came sailing over the Broad Prairie. They discov- ered Mrs. Fleetfoot lying down a little way outside that patch of brush which they were sure con- tained the baby Antelopes. They were more sure than ever when they saw Mrs, Fleetfoot lying so near it, Mrs. Eagle circled overhead where she could look down and seg everything that® moved, but King Eagle alighted in that patch of brush. At once Mrs. Fleetfoot was on her feet, running back and foreh and bleating as if in terrible fear. Two or three times she plunged at King Eagle, only to have Mrs. Eagle swoop down in her very face, striking at her with great claws and beating stout wings about her head so as to confuse her. Meanwhile King Eagle was hop- ping about among the bushes in the most undignified manner you can imagine. In the air he is ma. jestic as becomes a king. Perched on a cliff he also fs majestic and a picture of dignity. But when he attempts to walk he at once loses every particle of dignity. His great e'wws are in his way and he moves about with clumsy hops that make him appear ridiculous. It was just this way now. He was hopping about from bush to busl in such a clumsy way that Mrs. Fleetfoot would have chuckled aloud had she not wanted to keep up an appearance of anxious fear, This way and that hopped King Eagle, peering under every bush, while just overhead sailed Mrs. Eagle watching for any movement that might give those hidden babjes away, and Mrs, Fleetfoot ran about as if distracted. of course, it was of no use. Those babies couldn't be found, for the very good reason that they were not there. Mrs. Hagle was the first to realize the truth, With a scream of anger she swooped low. "We are wasting our time here!" she screamed. "Those babies are around somewhere, but they are not here in this brush, Come on and we'll search all around," Heavily King Eagle flapped up in the 24 and in a few minutes was sailing and circling as an Kagle can, But in: the eyes of Mrs. Fleetfoot he had lost his dignity and with it her respect. You know fit is hard to respect those at whom you want to laugh. Back and forth over the prairie King Eagle and Mrs. Eagle passed, their eyes searching every inch of ground, It was an anxious time for Mrs. Fleetfoot. If either of these twins should move ever so little it would be seen ;by those keen eyes. So the two great birds hunted, and Mrs. Fleetfoot stood and watched and trembled, and the twins remained motionless as if they were parts of the earth it- gelf. And from a distance Speed- foot the Coyote watched what was going on and knew that if King and Mrs. Eagle couldn't find those bables there was little chance for him to. Copyright, 1931, by T.

Here, it is alleged, Rogers again showed Cook's license card and, according to police, repre- sented himself as Cook, To the police he described the death car as one different from the one he was driving. He then left the station and the party went on to a roadhouse, where they danced and dined, Late in the night they drove in the car to Oshawa, There were a few dents in the fenders of the car, caused, it is charged, when it struck the boy's body. These were repaired, and the rented car returned to the garage, Yes- terday detectives located the car, and will, in all probability, have it taken to Toronto, Detectives Investigate Detectives McMaster and Rich- ardson first went to Cook's home, believing him to be the driver of the car, As they ap- proached him, Cook, they said, greeted them 'with the remark: "I have been expecting this daily. I know I did wrong in not re- porting to police, and have been on the verge of going to police here and telling them." Accompanied by Chief Con- stable Friend, the two Toronto officers questioned Cook for some time. Eventually, they say, he admitted his part in the kill- ing and deception. Miss Robertson's home wal then visited, and, she, too, soo! made a statement, police say, but it is understood she denied having seen anything of the acs cident. When Rogers was arrest- ed at 43 Elgin Street East, and was first accused of the crime; he is stated to have strongly denfed it until jnformed of the statement of his friends. He then signed an admission, it {is al leged. Warrants Rushed Having gone down to Oshawa without warrants for all the prisoners, the detectives called Inspector Chisholm at detective headquarters and the papers necessary to bring the three back to Toronto were rushed down by police speed car, The prisoners reached the To- ronto police offices shortly after midnight, all three nervous and worried. The girl was the most composed of the trio. Rogers is a tall youth, close to six feet in height, looking older than 18 years, His fair hair was dishevelled, ' though other wise he was carefully groomed. Both he and Cook were contin- ually smoking cigarettes ag they answered questions of the police. Coroner Dr. J. H. McConnell will conduct an inquest at the city morgue. Yacht Parties Rescued Amherstburg.--From their five yachts stranded on sand bara south of here by a heavy storm on Lake Erie, a party of Detroit citizens was brought ashore by a rescue -party under Capt, MacQueen. One man 'belonging to the party had several teeth knocked out and his face gashed by a fall as the wind suddenly struck his yacht, The boats were en route from Put-in-Bay to De- troit when they were driven off their course by the storm, Earl.

"No," Phil was beside his sister, his arm about her, She leaned a- gainst him, suddenly spent. "No, It was the statue--the Neapolitan Boy," he said. "One of the kids-- Danny--ran against it. Mary and Edith were just going out and Ede leaned over and caught at the pedestal--and it toppled and struck her" 'How long ago?* "Ten minutes. "Doctor?" "He's on his way." Phil--Phil--" she whispered. "I don't know, Gail. We don't know. Lily says that one of her bro- r§--" the. Lily knelt beside Edith and with her gentle common stubby little hands fitted an improvised icebag on Edith's head. "Ah, that's lovely, Gall" Edith sald unexpectedly, in a clear low happy voice. "Are we swimming? Green--green--green water--like emeralds--wet emeralds--" She lapsed into silence again, sighing contentedly. 'She's coming out of it; it was only a shock," Phil said, frowning, with a reassuring nod and glance for Gall, Galil had flung off her coat and hat, had taken Lily's place kneeling on the floor, Edith's limp hand in both of hers. She was not conscious of the passing of time. She was con- scious of but ene thing--2Zdith, She must hold Edith here by 'he sheer power of Lar sisterly lova. Doctor Peters es +» and Doctor Reynolds.

'He's being driven down now, He'll be here about three. And they both say that if Edith goes on all right until this time tomorrow, shé's got a good chance." The weary eyes were raised, '""hwm the only thing to do is--live, until this time tomorrow." Lily brought her warm wrapper, her slippers, downstairs; set a cup of hot coffee before her, "Oh. thank you, Lily," Gail said with the first honestly affectionate look she had ever given her little sister-in-law. "Oh, Gail, if it hadn't been Dan- ny!" Lily said weeping. "Poor Danny!" Gail murmured with a steady dry-eyed shadow, of her old smile, She went back to her post. Old Doctor Peters came and went in she quiet room. Lily was up all hight, Phil and Sam kept vigil in kitchen. Sometimes Edith. murmured. A~ bout two o'clock she opened her eyes, looked straight at Gail and said in her own way: tell you, Gail. I'll go ms and 'get the cottage ready and be waiting for you!" "All right, my darling" Gail's trembling tender voice answered as Edith went deeply off Into uucon- sclousness again. ' "Doctor Remsinger is here," Phil "Uphill Lily sid QUIK: running ' » Lily sald q to her husband, catching him im: portunately by the arm. "Take Gail away-~Phil-- "Take--?"" Gall echoed.

They drove down in the big Tevis car and stayed at an enormous hotel, saw movie queens entertain- ing hilarious friends at dinner, spent whole mornings swimming, idling on the sand. They went to a big in- tercollegiate game in Pasadena and came back to Clippersville feeling that somehow they had cheated the year and that there had been no Christmas at all. The oil company began to buld trim little station, all red and white paint and fences, on the corner of the Lawrence place; and Phil spent his Saturday afternoons and Sun- days clearing the overgrown garden at the other side of the house, chop- ping down moldy old shrubs and trees starved and cramped for light and air. Phil and Sam toiled and sweated happily at the changes; the small boys tumbled ecstatieally like worm-hunting robins in their wake. "They are happy," Gall thought, seeing Phil grow younger, simpler, more contented every hour. The disreputable old house, weather- beaten without and within, was heaven to him, Lily, paler now than she had been, her slender shapeless bodv already rounding out toward motherhood again, held in her stubby little common Wibser hand the keys of life for Phil "They are happy and I mustn't svoil it. Sam will marry here in Clippersville just as Phil has and they'll always be friends. And when I can I'll go away, I'll find my sort of living too. But until I go I must add to their happiness. Nobody-- nobody ought to suffer, if there's any way out!" She and Lily were not alike but they had gained a certain sympathy now; they had interests in common, they were drawn together by mut- ual good sense and necessity, If Lily had ever annoyed Gall she did not annoy her now. Lily's com- plete lack of culture was nothing-- Gail never thought of it. Lily's lit- tle airs and graces as Mrs, Phil Lawrence passed unnoticed. Lily could go to the movie with Phil av the end of the long busy day; there was no imposition in leaving the children with Gail, for Gail was at home anyway and the children adored her. Phil had a second-hand, indeed a fifth-hand, car; a machine that only his own patience and know- ledge of machinery kept moving at all. On a certain March Sunday he asked Gail rather timidly if she thought it would be a good day to take their luncheon up to the dam? Gail looked up with her perplex- ed little smile. Then her serious face brightened. "Oh, Phil, it would be a marvelous day for it!" He looked at her as if he had never seen her before, although he gave no sign of finding a change in her. But there was something act- ually beautiful in Gail's face now, something disciplined, spiritualized, something for which Phil this morning found the word noble. If the sight of the shining dam surrounded by feathery spring greenery hurt her when she and Phil, Sam, Lily and the chiidren reached it at a glowing noontide-- if the sight of it hurt her, she gave no sign. Busily, efficiently, she set about the preparing of the lunch- eon, she and Lily murmuring as they made coffee and toasted little sausages on sharpened sticks, Afterward the children dug and splashed In the creek and their eld- ers grouned themselves on the shin- gle, talking of Clipnersville affairs and Clippersville folk. Today they also had to discuss, as did all Clippersville, the Lil the sensational bankruptey of the Murchison Flour Mills. Rumor had beent playing with this "possibility for some time but mobody had tak- en seriously the idea that the ine Jineiule Murchison fortune might all, But fallen it had, completely, en- tirely. The Clippersville mills, the Salinas offices, the New Jersey plant had all passed intq other hands, the Chiops' mansion was for sale and the Chipps were going to live, without a servant, on the Los Gatos ranch and try to make it vay. It was all too bewildering!

One man died of heat prostration on the job recently. A great many laborers have been dismissed on doctor's orders. Approximat 1- 100 men are on. the payroll of six * companies, Inc. builders ofthe dam, and the turnover is reported to be "considerable." Aside from possible direct 'geri- ous effects on the men, the heat is believed to make possible an unduly high accident rate through lowering 'the efficiency of men not accustom- |ed to the Arizona-Nevada climate. Much of the dam labor has been recruited from a 'large camp of un ' |lemployed who established themsel- ves on the river bank when first promise: of work them west. Many of these people, government reports disclose, have been living on next to nothing, and are not in phy- sical condition for the struction works
