ATTACK WEIGHTY PROBLEMS AT IMPERIAL MEET Locarno Pact, Foreign Policy and Other Matters Under Discussion CHAMERLAIN'S REVIEW Issues at the Present will Determine Part Dominions Will Play AR (By Cable from George Hambleton, Canadian Press Staff Correspondent) The entire time at this morning's sitting of the Imperial Conference was taken up with Sir Austen Cham- berlain's review of Britain's foreign policy, He had not concluded his presentation when the Conference adjourned at noon. The Conference decided to regard the Foreign Sec- retary's statement throughtout as confidential. Generally speaking the issues now before the Conference lie rather in dédtermining the part the Dominions are to play in Britain's foreign policy. From the Dominion's point of view the questions may be sum- med up as follows: 1--What is to be the attitude of the Dominions to the Locarno Pact? 2---To what extent is it possible for the Empire as a whole to form a common foreighd policy? 3--How can the methods of con- sultation between various parts of the Empire be improved? Regarding the Locarno Pact Premier King will undoubhtedly base his attitude on the resolution adopted by the Canadian House of Commons at the last session that before the .Canadian Government accepts any treaty involving mili- tary ore conomic sanctions the ap- proval of the Parliament of Can- ada must be secured. WATER BILLS MUST BE PAID TOMORROW Those in Arrears May Expect to Have Water Shut Off After That Date Announcement is made from the City Engineer's office at the City Flall this morning that today is the last day in which water rentals can be paid without the penalty for non- payment being put 'into effect. It has been decided to extend the time limit for one day, consequently those not having as yet sent in their cheques, will have until Thursdav evening to do so. Alter that dato, those oh arrears may expect to have the water service turned off. City officials expressed themselv.s as well pleased "at the manner in which dues have been paid this quarter. The response on the part of citizens has been particularly praise worthy, on account of the fact that this is one of the guarteis when taxes and water dues fall due 'at the same time. Despite this fact there have been very few arrears. There are a number however, and the city officials are issuing tiis warning, in the hope that it will not be necessary to adopt extreme methods in any case, and save 'eai- " dents the .DBother sand expense of having the water turned off.

The Premier who remained away from his office although he was in the building all morning, was only reached by the Press as he re- turned for his hat before going to lunch. He promised to make some further observations on his mani- festo during: the afternoon par- ticularly as to the proposed in- creased exemptions under the In- come Tax Act.

GIVES1,000 REWARD IN CONSTABLE GASE Province May Augment Coch- rane Reward for Alleged Killer Cochrane, Oct. 20.--A thousand dollars reward. for information on the murder of O.T.A. Inspector T. H. Constable has been offered by the town of Cochrane it was announced rat "the municipal offices today. The official text of the resolution passed at a special meeting of the town council called by Acting Mayor Bradette is: "Moved by J. A. Demp- sey that this council offer a reward of one thousand dollars to any per- son giving information of the mur- derer of the late T. H. Constable of Cochrane, Ontario." "And that this wire be forwarded at once to the attorney-general of Ontario advising him of this ' coun- cil's action in the matter." Although no official word has been received here it is understood that the question of a further reward has been taken up with the attor- ney-general's department in Toronto It is suggested locally that the pro- vince should offer a reward of at least five thousand dollars If not more, fn view of the fact that O.T.A. Inspector Constable was a govern- ment employee. He had no connec- tion with the town of Cochrane in his official eapacity, yet in view of the fact that he lived here and was 0 generally liked by the people the town authorities have offered this reward.

WEATHER Moderate winds cloudy with occasional rain, Thursday, mod- erate northwest gales, partly cloudy and quite cool, y F erguson Opens Campaign on Friday Night NORWAY DEFEATS PROHIBITION BILL Varied Editorial Comment From Some London (Canadian Press Special) London, Oct. 20.--The defeat of prohibition in Norway's plebiscite of Monday, elicits varied editorial com ment from some London newspapers. The Daily Mail says that the Nor- wegian prehibition law, "like that of America," has been a failure, and has led to *"inereased drunkenness, evasion and lpw breaking." It refers to '"'attempts to change human nature by means of legisla- tion," and asserts that, in no coun- try where prohibition has been tried, has it been "even reasonably efficac- fous." The Westminster Gazette thinks Sweden's experiment gf rationing spirits is the most promising of schemes for drink control yet tried. 52,000 15 OFFERED FOR INFORMATION Police Are Still in Search of uMrderer of Provincial Policeman Toronto, Oct. 20.--General V. A. Williams, Commissioner of the provineial police, stated this morn- ing? that he is recommending to At- torney General Price that a reward of $1,000 be offered by the Govern- ment for information leading to the arrest of the murderer of T. H. Con- stable of the Ontario Temperance Act squad, who was killed at Coch- rane last week. The Town' Coun- cil of Cochrane has offered a re- ward of $1,000. LOOKING ASKANCE AT "WET" POLICY Talk of a Dry" Wing of the Conservative Party Being Formed Some Oshawa Conservatives are said to be nonplussed at the "wet" policy announced by Premier Fer- guson, which is to be the main is- sue in the forthcoming provincial election, and it is a fair presump- means a unit in advocating such a policy. It was not generally thought that the Premier would come for- ward with such an advanced policy of government control as that in- dicated by his statement published yesterday. The difficulty may now he to find a candidate that will be acceptable to the entire party. The "dry" element in the party may press for a candidate that will rep- resent the "dry" sentiment through- out the riding, while the "wets' will likely be equally = insistent in ad- vancing their views. Reports from Toronto are to the effect that a "dry" wing of the Con- gervative party may be formed, pos- | sibly with the late Attorney-Gen- | eral, Hon. W. F. Nickle, as leader.' In that event, it is felt that such a policy would find ready support locally, as this constituency is usually regarded as having "dry" leaning. The situation is one which will lend itself to much speculation within the next few days. THUGS ROB WOMEN OF $13,000 GEMS 20.--Still suffering New York, Oct, from the shock of their experience, Mrs. William M. Calder, wife of the former United States senator, her daughter, two guests and her chauf- feur and his wife, today peered over the rogues gallery photographs at po- lice headquarters, but failed to identify the three bandits who held them up and robbed them of $13,000 worth of jewelry Saturday night. Mrs. Calder and her companions were robbed while returning from the theater. Three men jumped into her limousine and forced the chauffeur to give up the wheel. While one bandit drove the machine past a police sta- tion and several policemen, the other two compelled the woman to surrender their jewelry. When Mrs. Calder started to scream, one of the bandits put a re- volver to her head and ordered: "Keep your mouth' shut or I'll give you the works." Mrs. Calder concealed a $2,500 watch, a Christmas gift from her hus- band, so that it escaped the eyes, of the robbers.

Dr. T. T Shields, pastor of Jarvis atreet church, to tender an apology for his conduet, this being carried by a large majority.

DISARMAMENT IS A TANGLED SKEIN Many Views Conflict--Chief Hope Lies in Universal Need of Economy Geneva, Oct. 20.--Close followers 5f the question of world disarma- ment are inclined to be skeptical as to the result of the general disarma- nent conference which will be con- soked before next September by the ©cague of Nations. Th preparatory arrangements for the conference, which have been roing + on for many weeks have inde little progress. There is \bsolute disagreement among the tperts on the question which the "ritish delegates and others consider +f fundamental importance, and 'hat is the method which is to be *ollowed in comparing the strength f the various world navies. France and Italy have held per- jsistently to the thesis that the pro- ser way to compare navies is by the 'otal or global tonnage. The great naval powers of Great Britain, the ['nited States and Japan, however, contend that ' this method is ab- solutely unworkable. Great Britain is particularly in- terested in the cruiser and submar- ine programs of Italy and France; first, because of the narrowness of the English Channel and ,secondly, heecause of her interests in the Mes Jiferranean, which is her sea route to India and the dominions TROPICAL STORM STRIKES HAVANA DAMAGE RESULTS Loss Estimated at $12,000-- Protected By Insurance of $6,000 98 MILES PER HOUR Streets Flooded and Power System is Put Out of Commission (Associated Press) Miama, Fla., Oct. 20.--A tropi- cal storm of great intensity whip- ving out of the West Indies was lashing Havana and the west coast of Cuba today and threatening to leap across to Florida.
