POWER PROPOSALS OUTLINED BY CALDER Cornwall, Jan. 5--R. L. Calder, K.C, and N. M, Cantin, both of Montreal, delivered interesting ad- dresses to the Cornwall Board of Trade and Kiwanis Club, in which they outlined the scheme of the Great Lakes and Atlantic Power and Canal Company, Limited, to make Cornwall the head of navigation in- stead of Montreal. They laid parti- cular emphasis on the big advantage this would be to Cornwall. : "This is a project of great size," said Mr, Cantin, "and the expense would run into large figures, but the financial arrangements have reached a point where outside financial aid is unnecessary." Mr. Cantin described the proposal as follows: The building of a canal from Hun- gry Bay at the southeast corner of Lake St. Francis through the Coun- ties of Beauharnois and Laprairie TRICKS COAL COMICS BUDD'S ON His VACATION -- ERE HE WENT HE THOUGHT OF WINTER DREAR AND DARK - S0 HE PUT EIGHT S [% GOOD COAL IN HIS BIN HT ET THUS HE'S FREE FROM WORRY = o and connecting with the St. Law- rence at Laprairie Basin, across the river from Montreal.

ARRESTED CHARGED WITH STEALING AUTOMOBILES Belleville, Jan. 5--Mr. William Johnson of Madoc, eighteen years of age, is under arrest with several charges of theft preferred against him. Recently three cars were stolen in this city and were recover- ed. The owners were Messrs. R. D. Ponton, K.C, and Harold Saunders of this city and J. Mulligan of Point Anne, Johnson says it is said, he took the cars but for only tempor- ary use. He is also accused of steal- ing a suit of clothes and an over- coat. His case will probably be heard in police court today. The accused is a young Scotch immi- grant., . Johnson was located at a dance at Stoco, came to the city and was arrested. He had been under sur- veillance for some time. Detective Truaisch 'of this city had conducted an investigation into the movements of the youth and today secured a statement from him. Johnson drove out with the police and behind a barn near the Cannifton Road he led the officer to the Harold Saun- ders' car. He drove back the car with the police to the station and was then locked up. Constable Hammer made the arrest. The suit of clothes belonged to Manley Yarwood of 17% Bridge street west and the blue overcoat to a Tweed man, INCREASED HOME CONSUMP- TION OF DAIRY PRODUCTS N SHO Belleville, Jan, 5--J. A. Ruddick, Dominion Dairy Commissioner, ad- dressed the delegates to the Dairy- men's Association on cheese-making this year. "While not an ideal sea- son," said Mr. Ruddick, "the clima- tic conditions were, on the whole, , favorable for production of milk. The output of cheese for this year will exceed that of last year by 8,000,000 or 10,000,000 pounds. The average price was high, and very nearly 3 cents per pound more was realized | for cheese this year than last, There | was also an improvement in the qual- (ALSO SAVED SOME TIN ~ IK OUR COAL @ABBOTT 8 WALKER, ING. {save MONEY - BuY OUR COAL NOW ~- OUR COAL GIVES HEATING SATISFACTION.

"The home consumption of dairy products has shown a large increase, The heavy tourist trade to this coun- try each year is the chief cause for this increase. I suppose that, with n y knowledge of conditions in both countries, I am in as good a position as wny to form a correct judgment in the matter, and I do not hesitate to say that Canadian cheese produ- cers have no reason to fear New Zealand's competition, if they make the most of their opportunity," stated Mr. Ruddick. KENNETH AND COLIN TWELLS BURIED IN HILLIER YESTER : DAY Belleville, Jan. .5--Attended by a arge concourse of mourning friends and sympathizers from the entire community, Kenneth and Colin Twells were laid to rest yesterday in Wellington Cemetery.

Already it practices flag discrim- ination in its coastwise trade. No apparently there are those who would extend it to any field that they chose to consider their own pet reserves. The United States can do it, but it will rue it. British shipping did not become really pre- dominant until flag discriminatio: disappeared. RIGHTS OF CLERICS ARE BASIS FOR SUIT \ Writ of Habeas Corpus Re: quested to Secure Re- lease of Priest Quebec, Jan, 5. -- An interesting point of law is to be decided in the judgment to be given in the case of Mrs, Joseph Thibault, of this city, who is seeking the release of her son, Rev. Father Adolphe Thibault from the Beauport Asylum by means of a writ of habeas corpus. The point that is to be decided is whether the power of the Church to control persons entering holy orders supersedes the rights of such a per-|. sdn as a citizen. In the petition for the writ, which was asked against the Sisters of Charity, the medical superintendent-of the institution, and the Mother Superior of the Asylum, it is stated that the interned priest, who has been confined to the insti- tution since Nov. 20 . last, was or- dained priest in Quebec by the late Cardinal Begin in 1922, and since then had served as vicar, or parish priest in numerous dioceses, winding up with the parish of St, Pascal Baylon. On November 20 last, the petition alleges, three policemen arrived at the Presbytery of St. Pascal and re- quested Father Thibault to go with them to see the Cardinal at the Arch- bishop's Palace, Late at night Fa- ther Thibault is alleged to have been forcibly taken from the Archbishop's Palace, without being given a chance of communicating with those who might look after his interests and was transported to the asylum, The allegations were replied to by the attorneys for the respondents that on entering Holy Orders, Father Thibault had forfeited his citizen's rights and came under the absolute authority of the Church, The Church authorities therefore, were acting within their rights when they decided to have the priest in- terned. Chief Justice Sir Francois Lemieux took the case en delibere. GREAT EXHIBITION OF DUTCH PAINTINGS London, Jan. 5. -- The greatest ex- hibition of Dutch paintings ever held in Britain opened at Burlington House, London, yesterday. Master- pieces worth $25,000,000, including 45 Rembrandts, will be on view. Only the state collections of Germany and Russia have not been lent. The Germans are annoyed because the National Gallery could not lend them pictures on a previous occa- sion, while the Soviets said they had no guarantee that they would get their pictures back. The Dutch Government escorted the paintings by warship, and the entire 'collection will be heayily guarded. N.Y, CENTRAL AS $75,000,000 PLAN Scheme to 'Electrify System Between New York and Buffalo New York, Jan. 5. -- The New York Tinles says that the New York Central Railroad has under consid- eration a plan to electrify its system between New York.and Buffalo, and use power from Niagara Falls. The project would cost from $75,000,000 upward. The projected system of electrifica- tion would cover a distance of nearly 500 miles, surpassing the 300-mile electrification project recently an- nounced by the Pennsylvania Rail- road. capacity of the New York Central which already is quadrupling its lines at many of the points where four tracks are not already used. Although news that a power survey is under way was confirmed by the New York Central, the railroad said no conclusion on the electrification project had been reached. A special committee in which the mechanical engineering department of the New York Central is repre- sented has been conferring with power company officials on the elec- trification of the railroads.
