The blast of the first tank threw burning oil in all directions and shattered windows throughout the | vicinity. The fire was repidly com- municated to other tanks, owned hy the Pure Oil and the Standard Oil Companies. Although the cause of the first ex- ploison was not definitely learned po- lice said they believed it might have heen the result of a Hallowe'en prank by small boys. The local fire department found ijt- self helpless to control the flames, as additional reservoirs exploded at inter- vals, spreading the fire. Calls for help were sent to the fire departments of the neighboring towns of Mount Ver- non and Larchmount, Occupants of an apartment adjacent to the oil storage yard were driven out, while the intense heat from the burning gasoline and pe'rol- cum melted glass in the windows. Three two-story office building of the oil companies were destroyed. Several fashionable residences in the neighborhood, including that occupied by the widow and children of the late Coles Phillips, ar'ist, were endangered, Police based their theory that the fire might have been ignited by boys upon the fact that several were known to have been exploding fire crackers in the vicinity of the tank yard shortly before the first blast. A check was being made by police of boys in the neighborhood in the fear that one or more might have been caught in the explosion. None has heen reported missing, however, and it is not known whether anyone was kill- ed or injured. house POLICE BOUGHT LIQUOR TO OBTAIN CONVICTION Fredericton, N.B., Oct, 30.--In the first case of sale of liquor in viola- the Board.

In Regard to Future -- An Agitation Started for Withdrawal Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 31.--The inter provincial conference will discuss the future of the Royal Mounted Police. in Alberta and Saskatchewan there has been a recent agitation for the withdrawal of this force from these provinces, and the Royal Mounted Police have never been popular in Quebec. The three prairie provinces have provincial police forces, In Alberta and Saskatchewan, more particularly the latter, the provincial police is a semi-political organization, ineffec- tive in the preservation of law and order, but a mighty election weapon, The efficiency and activity of the Royal Mounted Police is in such contrast to the work of the provin- cial forces as to he embarrassing to the latter and their respective gov- ernments. Alberta and Saskatchewan each pay nearly $500,000 per annum to. 'mtaintain their provincial police, and |the work could be more effectively done by the Royal Mounted Police for half the cost. Public opinion in the West has been aroused at the !effort to withdraw this force, and it is not anticipated that either Pre- mier Brownlee of Alberta, or Pre- mier Gardner, of Saskatchewan, will strongly urge this be done. | In Quebec the Royal Mounted Po- {lice activities in suppressing smug- 'gling and the illicit drug traffic was not populr with a large section of the ponulation, Under the regime of 'Hon, Jacques Bureau as Minister of Customs, the Royal Mounted Police were withdrawn from Quebec. Hon, H. H. Stevens returned them to duty on the Quebec boundary, and some still remain. Would Retain Force Hon. Ernest Lapointe, Minister, of Justice, although from Quebec, is the Royal Mounted Police. He knows , nurses and internas the administration of law and order cannot be successfully secured with- out such a force. This is especially true in the fight to suppress the illicit drug traffic, {one of the greatest menaces to this | country, It is assured the inter-pro- vineial conference will not favor the | restriction of the activities of this historic force. Western representatives will bring forward the question of the return of their natural resources, which were | | refused them under the autonomy bills of 1905, Development of min- eral, timber and 'power resources in Alberta and Manitoba has made provincial control a desirable accom- | plishment., Saskatchewan, without] any of these, although there are min- eral possibilities, is not as interest- ed, i Alberta and the Federal Govern- ment has reached an agreement, when the Quebec wing of the Liberal | party insisted on obtruding the _#chool question. The Federal Govern- | 'ment inserted a clause which de-| prived Alberta of its authority in school matters, The agreement was never consummated. In dealing with Saskatchewan and Manitoba the same issue would arise. Other provinces are also interest- ed in the return of the natural re- fources to the Western provinces. ' {They claim these areas were pur-| {chased by the Dominion, and also that the Western provinces have heen receiving subsidies from the! | Federal Government in lieu of con- trol.

This question has been before every inter-provincial conference without any practical | solution being discovered. Early Arrivals Hon. James Gardner, Premier of Saskatchewan, and Hon. A. C. Saun- ders, newly-elected Premier of Prince Edward Island, are the first arrivals to the inter-provincial con- ference. Their colleagues and the representatives of the other prov- TROOPERS | tion of the Provineial Liquor Act of |inces are expected here tomorrow or 1927, convetion against a Frederic- ton business house was made yes- terday in the police court, and a penalty of $1,000 fine, with costs, was imposed. On the point raised by counsel for the defence that the Provincial policeman, who had pur- chased the liquor under the Act of 1927, was an accomplice in the vio- lation of the act, and as such must be supported in his statement by corroborative testimony, the court held that an officer making a pur- chase of liquor for the purpose of prosecuting under the aet was not an accomplice.

"Economic conditions in Saskat- chewan were never better," said Mr. Gardner, "Our cities are making steady and justified progress, and our farmers have reached the stage of stability and 'prosperity. Mixed farming is increasing in about the same ratio as wheat production. New areas are being brought under cul- tivation, and. the settlement is steadily pushing northward, until now it is one hundred miles beyond where twenty years ago was thought the boundary of northern agricultur- al expansion." Mr. Gardner said that while there were many new s their pr was not as noticeable as formerly, as they were being absorbed in already settled or partially settled distriets. There was, however, a steady growth in population and expansion in agri- culture, and the migration from the province had ceased. "Eastern people have a wrong im- pression of the Saskatchewan popula- tion" he continued. "Seventy-five per cent. of our people were born within the British Empire. We have also a steadily increasing percentage of native born. These make for per- manence in population, as they have a stronzly-developed sentiment for the prairie and their native province, Two of the ministers in my govern- | ment are native-born citizens of Sas- katchewan.
