Dr. C. Reist, who performed the post-mortem, stated that all the or- gans seemed to be in good enough condition, although the deceased had a fatty heart. He had not opened the stomach for examina- tion, as the analysis could only be made. at Toronto. |He had found no eondition at the post-mortem which would cause a sudden death or death within a few days. There was nothing to show that the de- ceased had taken alcohol shortly before death. Dr. Hagmeler, house phys"cian at the Springs Hotel, 'stated, that the deceased had been drinking liquor in too great quantities for about six months and that he had prescribed several kinds of medicine. Upon cross-examination, he said that. an overdose of any of the medicines might cause death. Two of the medi- cines would put him to sleep, while the other, if taken In an overdose, would throw him into convulsions.

Sr ime erial Conference Adopts the Report of Premier's Committee Change, It is Expected, is Ne- cessitated By Irish Free State Becoming a Domin- ion -- Premiers Believe Governors-General Should Represent Crown Only and Noot British Government COMMUNICATION GOV'T TO GOV'T Say Equality of Status of Do- minions is Both Right and Inevitable -- Every Self- governing Member of Em- pire Now Master of Its Destiny (Cable Service To The Reformer By 'anadian Press) London, Nov. 20.--In formal specific language the Imperial Con- ference has unanimously recognized that Great Britain and the Domin- fons are of equal status, in the Em- pire. The Imperial Conference, in adopt- ing the report of the Premiers' Com- mittee on inter-imperial relations has set the stamp of its approval on these significant words, "The position and mutual relation of the group of self governing communi- ties composed of Great Britain and the Dominions may be readily de- fined. They are automonous com- munities within the British Empire equal in status and in no way sub- ordinate one to the other in any aspect of their domestic or external affairs' though united by common allegiance to the Crown and freely associated as members of the Brit- ish Commonwealth of Nations." The report. briefly reviewing the recent history says the tendency of the Dominion towards equality of the status is both right and inevit- able geographical and other condi- tions make this impossible of at- tainment by way of a Federation. The only alternative is by way of yntomoty "and alone this road it has been steadily sought. Every self- governing member of the Empire is now the master of its destiny. In fact, if not always in form, it is subject to no compulsion whatever." The report continues--"But no account, however accurate, of nega- tive relations in which Great Britain and the Dominions stand to each other can do more than. express a portion of the truth. The British Empire is not founded upon nega- tions, it depends essentially, if not formally, on the positive ideals' free institutions are its life blood, free co-operation its instrument, and peace, security and progress among its, objectives. "The aspects of these great themes have been discussed at the present confidence and excellent re- sults have thereby been attained and though every Dominion is now and must always remain the sole judge of the nature and extent of its cooperation no common cause will. in our opinion, be thereby im- perilled. In the change recommended in the King's title the term "United Kingdom" disappears. The change, it is expected, is necessitated by the Irish Free State becoming a Do- minion. The new title will read "George V. by Grace of God and of Great Britian, Ireland and the British Dominions beyond seas. The King, the Defender of Faith, Em- peror of India." Governors-General should repre- sent the Crown only and not the British Government. This princciple is affirmed in the report of the Premiers' committee on inter-im- perial relations and adopted by the Imperial Conference. Communication between the Brit- ish Government and Governments of the Dominions should be between the government and the government direct, the report recommends, and not through the Governor-General as is the existing practice. "In future treaties, British Mini- sters shall sign for Great Britain instead of for the Empire," says the report adopted by Imperial Confer- ence today. "In foreign relations neither Great Britain nor the Dominions should be committed to acceptance of active ohligatiens without the definite as- BE -_ il OWL _govelnmend L COULD NOT GREDIT ALL 0.T.A WORKERS AS TEMPERANCE MEN Asserts John Stacev at the Conservative Meeting at Cherrywood DISCUSS ISSUES "Debates Over Back Fence as to Who Makes Strongest Beer" of Cherrywood and vi- cinity comfortably filled the com- munity hall last night, to hear John Stacey, Conservative candidate in South Ontario, and two 5f his platform suppor.ers, DD. A. J. Swan- son, and Albert Jackson of Whitby. Dr. W. McEwen, of Pickering, jie- sided. Presenting clear argaments on the "overshadowing' - issue of the campaign, all three speakers urged that their hearers vote for Govern- Electors ment control and end the unfair and un-British O. I" A. The re- cords of Premier Ferguson and his Cabinet Ministers was lauded, the Premier being named as one of the greatest amd most austere states- men who ever held the reins of gov- ernment. Reduction of the U.F.O. Government deficit, development of Northern Ontario. improved educa- tional system in the north country, cheaper highways, and other bene- ficial results of the Ferguson Gov- ernment were enumerated. Mr. Stacey, during a one-hour speech, assured his hearers that the O.T.A. was .going back in popularity because temperance was being taught no longer, everyone asking instead that the act be enforced by the haad of the law. That Oshawa was "wide open" was the assertion of the candidate, who added that liquor by the case lots, could be purchased in Oshawa as easily as cases of pop. In Oshawa 604 peo- ple had taken out permits to brew beer, he averred, and strong wine could be procured with ease. 0X- plaining in detail the ramifications of the bootleggers.- and rum run- ners. Mr. Stacey laid the blame to the Federal government for laxity in allowing rum runners and distill- ers to make loop-holes in the law, permitting a schooner to "carry a load to Cuba over night." "Chief Friend is a good officer, and we are proud of he and his men," he went on, "but it is impos- sible for them or any other police oiffcers 'to successfully enforce the Act, when 49 per cent. of the people are against it, Any boy or girl sixteen years of age may procure liquor in Oshawa, at any hour, of any day of the week--a condition (Continued on page 5) (Supplied by Stobie, Forlong & Co.)

E. N. Sinclair in referring to the of repeated assertions that had Premier Ferguson emergd us a sup- porter of the Ontario Temperance Act that he as Liberal leader would have advocated Government Control of the sale of liquor. Mr. Sinclair last night addressed a packed house in the Regent Theatre, it being his first meeting of the campaign in his own constituency. 'It has been a pleasure to appear on many plat- forms in the Province in support of Liberal candidates and it is also a pleasure to me to speak here to- night on behalf of the Liberal can- didate in this riding," he jocularly added. As in previous campaign speeches the Liberal leader dwelt at length on Premier Ferguson's proposed li- quar policy of Government Control but he spent equally as much time discussing other {issues of the day which he said are beclouded by the liguor question, injected into the campaign. Mr. Sinclair 'flayed the Ferguson administration for.its attitude to- ward the O.T.A., stating that when he went into office it was under- stood that he would make "it a little wetter" and now he would try to make 'his Conservative dry friends believe that he would make it a little drier." "If the bootlegger cannot be eliminated under the O.T.A. and the law cannot be enforced, how could we believe that Mr, Ferguson with his Government Control measure would exterminate the bootlegger with the liguor much easier to get?" Mr. Sinclair asked.

Mr. Sinclair referred to a state- ment made by a speaker at a local Conservative meeting Thursday night, that if the Liberal party el- ected every member in the Province they would not have a majority. The Liberal leader declared that this was not correct since there were ninety Liberal candidates in the field. The chairman of the evening was W. A.
