Carnes told Winnipeg detectives when he was being led from the courtroom yester: afternoon after his arraignment and remand pending arrival of officers from the Unite States who are to take him back to Atlanta, Ga, to face a charge of em- bezzlement of funds of the Southern Baptist Conference, of which he was treasurer. He again admitted he was Carnes, detectives stated, and declared that he would not fight extradition to the United States, He said he would be quite willing to go back when the officers came to him. "I ran away because my affairs had got so black that I could not bear it any more," he declared. "People who knew my past were continually blackmailing me and I finally got into such a fix that there was nothing else I could do." SENATE VACANCIES CAUSE DISCUSSION Appointments Unlikely to Be Made Before Premier King Returns Ottawa, Sept. 30, -- Judicial and senatorial appointments in Quebec are giving the Government a subject of some discussion if not particular toncern. On the Bench of the Pro- vince there are three vacancies--two in the Superior Court and one in that body of inferior jurisdiction, the Circuit Court, In the Senate there are two Que- bec vacancies. For these positions many, with or without claims, are pressing their suits, As the appointments may affect two or three members of Parliament and would involve the opening of seats, action may be deferred until the Prime Minister returns, The Government has never been strong for appointing members to positions necessitating by-elections but it is epresented that in any seat proposed 0 be opened, the risk of misfortune is not pronounced, MURDER SUSPECT SUICIDES IN CELL Fredericton, N.B.,, Sept. 30.-- DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS il A HE, = HOOVER REFUTES USE OF CREED CRY Republicans Admit the Ef: fectiveness of Speeches by Governor Smith Washington, Sept, 30.--The core dial reception given Governor Smith ip the Middle West is tho most-talked-of political aeverop- ment today.

Two British officers of the steamer, David Jones of Newquay, Wales, and Chief Engineer Henry Thomson of Greenock, Scotland, were killed. Cap- tain Plunkett Cole, who commanded the ship, was wounded, as was Third Officer A. I. Campbell. The Chinese quartermaster, who rushed to the bridge to fight off the pirates, was shot dead, ] The Anking, which left Singapore, Straits Settlements, on Sept. for Hong Kong, by way of Holbow, Swa- tow and Amoy, was attacked by the pirates on Wednesday in the Gulf of Tonkin, The pirates had shipped aboard the a as passengers, a method of robbing vessels frequently practiced in Chinese waters, Most of the officers of the ship were at dinner on Wednesday when the pirates, numbering 40 men, drop- ped their passenger roles. Some of them rushed to the bridge of the vessel, firing point-blank at the offi- cers on duty there. Chief Officer Jones was instantly killed and Cap- tain Cole fell with bullets in both legs. It was at this point that the Chinese quartermaster rushed to the bridge to assist his commander, but Wie shot dead as soon as he appear- ca, Meanwhile other pirates had rush- ed into the engine room and murder- ed Chief Engincer Thomson. The older officers were wounded and beat- en with clubs, while Camphell was knifed in the back and fell beside the body of Chief Officer Jones.

CHANGE IN CARS NOT VERY LIKELY The Present Type of Stock Models to Stay for Years Front-wheel drive, a type of con- struction which has been employed in racing cars, but which has yet to make its appearance on stock models, siderable discussion engineering circles. For instance, Herbert Chase, an automotive authority, writes in the current number of the Journal of the Society of Automotive Engineers that "Concerning the future of front- wheel drives, there is good ground for the view that the advantages they present outweigh the disad- vantages, but it does not follow as a necessary corollary that front-driven cars will become the popular type or even that they will he adopted soon by many manufacturers." Construction Not New "It Is known, however," Mr. Chase continues, "that at least three or four companies, including one or two prominent makers, are greatly interested in this type of drive and either have experimental cars well in automotive omer!

The fact that such drives appear to add materially to the safety of driv- ing, especially at high speed and un- der conditions where skidding is likely to ccur with rear-drive ears, is a consideration of primary impor. tance." Mr, Chase points out that this form of construction is not mew, as the first front-wheel drive is report- ed to have been used in a self-pro- pelled vehicle as long ago as 1862, and it was applied to gasoline-driven vehicles at least as early as 1900, [------ {7 Im------ Telephone Grover 7247 At Our Expense STANDARD BRICK Co., Limited Manufacturers of GOOD RED STOCK BRICK 500 Greenwood Ave, Toronto, Ont.

He has avoided personal- ities in the campaign. But later he will probably refer again to the Republican record on farm relief, electric power and the St, Lawr- ence waterways, amplifying pre- vious statements and answering Governor Smith's charges respect- ing Republican inactivity, Religious Issue Banned A striking feature of week-end developments was the re-emer- gence of the religious issue in a manner that compelled action by Mr. Hoover, A circular Issued over the slgna- ture of a woman member of Vir- ginia National Republican Commit. tee appealed for Hoover support on the Romanism plea, This so def- initely linked Republican headquar- ters with the religious ery that Mr Hoover publicly expressed In- dignation, and condemned the ae- tion, saying he could not reiterate tno strongly that religious ques- tions have no part in this campaign. The Democarts are jubilant over Governor Smith's success on the Western tour, but the Republicans are maintaining the air of cool confidence that has characterized them from the day of Mr. Hoover's nomination.
