Bl HYDRO SCHEME MAY BE DEVELOPED Soo Considers Various Plans in the Commission's Report Sault Ste. Marie, Ont,, Nov, 9.-- Since the arrival yesterday of the E i'»o-Electric Commission's re- por: on the proposed development of power here, the city has been in the throes of a controversy that promises to gain momentum until the vote on the question is taken, probably some time early in Decem- ber, The. Council seems to be about evenly divided on the question of a power still available for develop- DeDcember vote. The report esti- mates that there is 12,000 horse- Rapids at the Soo, and the cost of ment by Canada in the St, Mary's developing it .is put at $2,005,065, he cost per horsepower is placed + $17.16. This latter figure is con- tingent on all the power being sold. Alternative Plans Named While this scheme appears to be favored by the Council, several other power development proposals are laid before the city in the Hydro Commission report, including de- velopments, at two different sites on the Montreal River, and at two dif- ferent sites on the Mississauga River, The cost of bringing power to the Soo from the upper falls on the Montreal River, is placed at $15.75 per horsepower at 60,000- volt transmission, while the total rost of development was placed at $1,443,425. In this scheme the cost pe* horsepower is less than in de- veloping the St, Mary's Rapids, but the amount of power -available is es"mated at enlv 9,215 horsepower, ns against 12,000 on the St. Mary's Ranids, For the purpose of obtaining all possible information concerning the pronosed development the City Corneil will request the Hydro- Ele tric Power Commission for com~ petent authority on the question, and will ask the Commission to send representatives to the Soo to dis- russ thd situation, at the expense of the city if necessary, at the earliest possible date, Conference Ts Favored The Council looks favorably upon Dr. J. A. Shannon's suggestion of a rnund-table conference of repre- sentatives of the different industries, with a renresentative of the Hydro- Electric Power Commission also in attendance THREE ALLEGED GRAVE ROBBERS Are Confined to the Hastings Copy Jail Pending Their Trial Belleville, Nov, 9.--Ewart 'War- ren, Philip Revoy and Frank Sulli- van, the three men implicated in the attempted robbery of the grave of Mrs, B.

HOPE TO PROVE NELSON INSANE Winnipeg, Man., Nov. 9.--Coun- sel for Earle Nelson, found guilty of the murder of Mrs, Emily Patter- Son, are preparing to make repre- sentations to the Department of Justice for the remission of the death sentence. Nelson was sentenced to be hanged on January 13. The plea of insanity the defence offered at the trial will be the basis for the representations to be made to the executive authorities. The evidence given by defence witnesses, together with exemplification ree- ords of Napa State Asylum, Cal., will be forwarded to Ottawa for examina- tion. 3 They will be supplemented by X-ray photographs of Nelson's head which were taken last week by a local physician on instrvetions of de- fence @ounsel.

That Governor John E. Weeks has sensed the situation from the Capital denying previous reports that Vermont considered outside aid unnecessary in coping with the situation, He declar- ed: "Federal troops have been of 'the greatest assistance in relief work in the flooded areas of the northern part of the State. This help is greatly ap- preciated. Rumors have gone out that Federal aid was unnecessary, which is entirely wrong." The Governor declaréd that as soon as a State survey has been established, the exact status of the stricken towns "we can determine just whether fur- ther help will be needed from outside sources," Tomorrow Goverpor confer with the State Emergency Board on the situation. This board, created in 1923 to serve with the Gov- ernor in case of emergency, has never before been called into action. The Highways Commissioners of Vermont also will confer at Montpelier tomor- row in an effort to determine how much money is needed for temporary repair of main highways and restora- tion of bridges.

Foon, his aunt, left Sunday night for their home near San Francisco: Mrs. Fuller and Mrs. Fabian came to Winnipeg to give evidence of the early life of Nelson, whowas married under the name of Evan Fuller, which it was hoped might save h'm from the gallows. A jury, however, found him guilty of the murder of Mrs. Emily Patterson, and the man whom a con- tinent now calls the "dark strangler," or "gorilla man," has been sentenced to be hanged in Winnipeg, Friday, anuary 13. January evidence in defence of Nel con during his trial last week, the two women showed how--in their own words--he had "always been erazy."" But he was declarcd sane. Even after his conviction they maintained that he had been irresponsible and not crim- inally guilty 'of the crime imputed to him. J In their first and last visit to Nel- son's' cell in the provincial jail, during their stay of mone than a week here, both. women took a message of con- fidence to the prisoner, expressing belief in his innocence. \ / Ne of Earle Nee n, | "dark strangler," unsuccessful, Mrs. | alley ie wife, and Mrs. Lillian : i n t Insuffici For Taking = r Acceptance of Resignation is Unlikely and Council Will Probably Meet With Fire Chief Cameron's Request for Substantial Increase -- Has Given City Good Ser- vice -- To Bz Considered Ey Commitiee Soon .Fire Chief Angus Cameron ten. dered his resignation to the City Council at its meeting last night ef- fective December 1.
