RESUME Were Untrammelied by Conditions London, Feb. 25. -- Argument before the judicial committee of the Privy Council in the appeal of the Tiny Township Separate School Trustees against the judg- ment of the Supreme Court of Canada dismissing the trustees' appeal to that tribunal, which, if allowed, would have had the ef- fect of permitting the setting up of separate high schools and collegi- ate institutes in Ontario under the Roman Catholic boards of trus- tees, was resumed Thursday. The arument was begun on Tuesday atd adjourned. Lord Shaw intimated that their lordships of the judicial committee were anxious to know if the appel- lants contended that they were now prevented from teaching cer- tain higher subjects in the separ- ate schools, and what were the subects to which that desirability extended, J. F Hellmuth, . K.C., Toronto, Counsel for the appellants, con- tended that the grants to the schools at the time of confedera- tion were absolutely untrammelled by condition. Lord Shaw read from the stat- ute bearing on the case as fol- lows: "But subject to such inspec- tion as may be directed by the chief superintendent of education, and as may be imposed from time to time by the Council of Public Instruction." Share of Grants "Do you not get a share of the grants with a share also of super- intendance?" Lord Shaw asked. Mr. Hellmuth replied by submit- ting that any act of the Ontario Legislature that professed to alter the basis concerning separate schools that prevailed at the time of Confederation would be ultra vires. Catholic separate schools in Ontario, he said, were given special privileges such as were af- forded the Protestant minority in Lower Canada (Quebec), Lord Shaw: "What is it you say you are prevented by law from do- ing?" Mr, Hellmuth: "When parlia- ment votes money for separate schools we want our share on the basis laid down at the time of Confederation." Lord Haldane: 'Yes, according to the statute." Mr. Hellmuth submitted that the legislation would otherwise reduce the Cath- olic schools to kindergartens and what might be called the suround- {ng denominational atmosphere was never intended to he dissipat- ed at the pupils' comparatively early age, JAPAN ELECTIONS END IN DEADLOCK Two Minor Parties With 23 Seats Hold Balance of Power Tokio, Feb, 25. -- Two minor parties with 23 seats helween them will hold the balance of power in the mext Diet, Returns from Monda:'s election, 'Thurs- ddy indicated that the Seiyukai or Government party and the Min- seito or Opposition were dead- locked, Eomn returns from XKyu- shu, southernmost mainland of Jaan, are etill missing and the Park | vernacular papers in general stat- ed that it was anybody's race as far as the major parties were concerned, They asserted either might win by one or.two seats. The only official figure obtainable, those compiled by the Home Of- fice claimed a Government victory by three seats, Of the minor parties the Inde- pendents elected fifteen reresenta- tives and the Proletarians eight. They thus constitute a block in the Diet capable of swinging the power to either the Seiyukai or Minseito. On the whole the pol- itical complexion of the new Diet appeared to have been changed but little from the Diet which Premier Tanaka dissolved in Jan- uary despite the fact that the electorate was enlarged for the first time from 3,000,000 to near- ly 12,000,000. This was brought about by the operation of the universal manhood suffrage law which extended the franchise to some 9,000,000 non-tax payers above the age of 25.
