VVithin a few days after their trial opened in Toronto Peter Smith, former Provincial c_Treasurer of Ontario, and Aemilius Jarvis, Sr., 21 noted inter- national financier and yachtsman, were -convicted of charges of conspiracy to defraud the Province. Aemilius Jarvis, Jr., and Harry G. Peppal were acquit- ted and a charge of theft against all four was dismissed. Peter Smith was sentenced to three years in the peni- tentiary and Jarvis, Sr., to six months in the county jail, while fines aggre- vvuuuyuvuuu yculnvlluwa I Chief Justice Meredith ordered that they remain in custody until their fines are paid. The sentence on Peter Smith was the more severe because as a. min- ister of the Crown he had broken his oath of office as well as taken part in the conspiracy. The case arose out of the bond deal in which the Jarvis firm acted for the former Provincial government, and the effect of the charge in briefwas that Peter Smith and others shared in profits which should. have accrued to the Provincial -Treasury. The fine is said to be the gating $600,000 were imposed, and! heaviest _ever imposed `in the annals of British justice, certainly in Canada. The sentences will be appealed. The trial was `by jury and the sentences created a sensation throughout Can-_! ada. - ` 1 FORMER BARRIE I\.}I;c\Ni7s RISE ' I ' IN THE FINANCIAL WORLD 1V.I.' 01 some 01: me most suc- cessful of Canadian and Unitedstates Exhibitions who visited VVemble,v. be- lieve that it would have come nearef to success had its advertising cam- paigns been conducted on different systems.

Canada made a fine showing at the Exhibition and undoubtedly reaped good results.

Toronto w "my -vvuu lvvh - any The hanging of four men in the Mon`- treal Jail tor, the murder of a bank mesenger whom they attacked and robbed a few months ago, is a sad and tragic` emphasis on "the fact. that all crimes must be paid for sooner or lat- er. These men might have added much Ito the good of the community had they chosen to. live honestly and de- '.cently.~ Two others of the gang had *heir sentences commuted -to life `im- mfsonnaent, which is sometimes a worse punishment than death. The relatives of people who would rather live by crime than by honest toil, very often because of their distaste for real work, must also suffer for the deeds of the wrong`-doers. Protection 'for Fisheries Canada and the United States have ratified the convention to protect the halibut fisheries of the Northern Pa- cific Ocean. This establishes a closed season from November 16 to Febru- ary 15 of each year, and also provides for the appointment of a joint com- mission of four _men to investigate and make recommendation for the nreser- vation and development of those fish- eries. The halibut fisheries have be- come very important to Canada. In` 1903 the catch off the Britih Colum- bia coast wasabout ten million pounds. Since then it has run as high as thirty million pounds a year. The fishing industry as a whole has also greatly rtdvanced in this country. In 1844ythe estimated value of the catch was $125.- 1 000. It now averages around forty million dollars a year, so that Canada is very much interested in any steps taken to safeguard this source of na- tional industry and revenue. ...v..-,--.l`,-. ....y ..

Somers, President Crown Life Insurance Company, prominent in connection with the recently`an- nounced amalgamation of the Stand- ard and Sterling `Banks, has had an unusually interesting financial career. Born in the town of Barrie, and com- mencing his business life in the lawd offices of McCarthy, Pepler & Mc- Carthy, then branching out as a pri- vate banker and grain merchant, at Beeton, he has since become identified with many important enterprises. Mr. Somers took up residence in4Toronto in 1903. Soon afterward he secured the charter for the Sterling` Bank of Canada, of which he became President. This was followed a few years later by the reorganization `of the Crown Life Insurance Company. A new board or Directors" was installed and Mr. Somers invited to assume the Pres- idency. Five Millions to Fifty Mil- lions" is in brief the story of success of tthe Crown Life, now recognized as `a sound and progressive Canadian life company. Then came his entry, along .with,Majqr Hugh C. McLean, into control of the Muskoka Lakes Navigation Company. V Here again the results of vigorous management are evidenced by the increased prosperity of that company.
