Today, Fri. and Sat. William Farnum LORD ALVERSTONE DEAD Rendered Decision Against Canada's Alaskan Claim London. December 15. Lord Alvea-stone, former Chief Justice of Lng- lund, is dead.

While on circuit at Newcastle in February, 1912, Lord Alverstono was seized with a serious heart attack, and his continued 111-hcalth led to his resignation. He was born on December 22, 1842, his father being Thomas Webster, A.C., well known at Westminster, where he had a large practice, especially In patent cases. Lord Alverstone was a widower. His wif died tn 1875, and his only son in 1910, after an operation for appendicitis. There is no heir to the title.

Viscount Alverstone was one of the most popular, human, and mnny-slded men In British public life. Tall, athletically modelled and vigorous, he was physically, as mentally, a splendid spectment of the old school of English gentlemen. At Cambridge, where the finishing touches were put to' his education, he was, perhaps, more famous tut an athlete than scholar, although his studies were not neglected. He had a decidedly mathematical bent, and was thirty-fifth on the list of wranflera, though lie got only third in classics. On the campus, on the other hand, he was Invariably first in those events In which he took uurt.

and was particularly noted as a dis tance runner, being, in fact, the best of his year. His interest In sports he carried from Cambridge out into the world, and his collection ot trophies was an evidence of his great success on the clndiT track. When he could no longer take part himself he remained a keen Datron of everv ciass of sport, and until his seventieth years was an enthusiastic rider, and a good hand at golf. His tastes in sport were catholic, and In the earlier days of the big ring contests he was a frequent visitor to the National Sporting Club, a quiet spectator of the Lord Alverstone came Into promin ence before the American public as the representative of England in the Alaskan boundary commission. His vote In support of the chief claims of the United Slates gave America the practical victory.

Many Canadians expressed the belief that the American Government went Into ths arbitration only after It had reached an understanding that tiie American case should win, and that Alverstone was put forward to carry out the diplomatic bargain.

Petitions to rename streets bearing Ger man names have met with a cold reception from the London County Council. One of the latest of these petitions came from the residents of Wiesbaden Road, who wanted either an English name or an allied name. Among the signers of the paper were a Rothsteln, a Meyer, a Rubinstein, an Aainburg and a Finkenstein, and al together about forty family names of Germanic origin. People who them selves bear German names are de clared to be amone the main pro moters of sthese apparently with a view to establishing their own patriotism. At the council meeting, when this matter came up.

Sir John Benn ask ed: "How far back are we asked to go in altering namea? What should we da with Martin Luther street. Eeetn-oven street, Handel street and Han over square?" The scheme was branded as ridicu lous by most of the councilmen. Nevertheless, on the broad principal that each borough of the council had a technical right to control its own names, a motion was carried by a narrow majority giving? the borough councils authority to make changes if deemed MORE SMOKES, CALL OF MEN IN TRENCHES Cards of Thanks Show How Men Appreciate Donations Through Tobacco Fund "I duly received your handsome and generous gift yesterday, and beg to tender you my most heartfelt thank for the same." This Is the mariner In which a soldier of Section No. 5th Field Company, Canadian Engineers, writes to" a contributor to The Gazette Tobacco Fund, thanking him for his gift of Canadian-made cigarettes and tobacco. He adds: "Your extreme kindness in remembering the 'boys' from Montreal will not be readily forgotten.

A cool smoke of one's favorite 'cig" or in the trenches ia the best tonic in helping one td forget the hardships and dangers which beset us out here." He concludes his card with' a repetition of his warm thanks. This aoldier has been made happy for twenty-five cents, which a citizen of Montreal contributed to The Gazette Tobacco Fund, for it meant to him a good supply of tobacco and cigarettes of the kind he had smoked in Montreal. "I- received your card today and I send you my most hearty thanks for the same. One package of cigarettes and tobacco wa divided' between my chum and myself. I took the tobacco and my chum the cigarettes, which are fine." This is the message from a soldier of another Canadian unit.

Another soldier writes: "My chum and I receifed your welcome gift of tobacco today, which we 1 appreciate very much, and divided the package between us. I got the tobacco and he the cigarettes.

TYPHOON WRECKED TOWNS Damage in Philippines Greater Than First Reported Manila, November 15 (Correspond. ence of The Associated Press). The typhoon which was reported by cable during the latter part of October and the first of November, caused still heavier loss than was indicated bv the first report before communication was re-established with Southern Luzon, where the worst of the storm's effect was felt.

The actual loss of life was about 170 killed by drowning, falling trees and the collapse of buildings. and the injured numbered several hundred, as reported, but the property loss is now conservatively estimated at not less than 6.000,000 pesos, or ap proximately The hemp and copra plantations were level led to the ground for miles and im mense rice fields were stripped of erops by the flood.

Uadted, 253 St. James St, Believes Popular Vote, Without Pressure, Would Prove Po-' British Feeling TURK-BULGAR HOSTILITY Lecturer Not Surprised Tf Essential Enmity Soon Caused Fighting: Between Two Na- -tions Now, Allied In a lecture on Turkey, given before the McOlII Oriental Society Monday night. Dr. H.

M. Ami, of Ottawa, declared frit conviction that if a vote was taken among the subjects of the Ottoman Empire, na pressure being used in either direction, nine-tenths of the population would declare themselves in favor of Great Britain and the Allies, as against Germany. Dr. Ami had made two prolonged visits to Turkey, and his lecture was illustrated with many slides from photographs faken by himself, showing interesting views and Indicating the customs of the country. Sketching the history of the Tur kish Empire, particularly since the Important date of 1453, when Constantinople was conquered by the the lecturer showed how the fall of this city, which he described as a central meeting-point of the nations and a place of the utmost strategic importance, had affected the history of the whole world.

That the American continent had been dis covered towards -the end of the nrteentn century, he explained, was an indirect result of the Turkish capture of Constantinople, for this event had spread terror through Europe and turned the tide of com merce westward by closing the east ern highways of trade. The mountainous and diversified topography of the Balkans and the complex geography of this region. Dr. Ami remarked, had its counterpart in the complexity and diversity of the population, comprising -many different races, with an actual numerical pre dominance of Greeks over Turks, while Magyars, Gypsies, Jews and Armenians were also represented in great numbers. It was a most extra ordinary thing, the lecturer declared, to see the Bulgarians fighting on the side pt the Turks, for the two nations were -essentially hostile to each other.

ana it wouia not be surprising if be- zore a montn tne were fighting against the Turks, so great was we complexity or the situation J-)r. Ami touched upon the recent massacres of the Armenians, saying that a slaughter of 950,000 people might have been avoided, if the German ambassador in Constantinople had but raised a ringer, but the Germans, he said, would do nothing to prevent the massacre, knowing that the Armenians, as Christians, would be inclined to favor the Allies. So thorough had tfie massacre been that no Bed Cross wa even necessarv. r- KAISER'S CHRISTMAS' MEAU The condition of affairs fn the Balkans is now very complex and speaker went on, "and if we are to believe the newspaper reports, it seems tht the Kaiser may reach Constantinople for Christmas anq enjoy ms Christmas dinner there, but I have many douhta shout tht If he did, however, it would be a very uisasirous ming ior nimseir. He might never retnrn to Berlin, and if he did not return to Berlin that would, be loss 10 US.

Br. Ami related the diplomatic achievements of Catherine of Russia, wuu, amoiiB oinr tilings, nad obtained the Sultan's consent to the establishment of a Christian church in Constantinople, a most significant step. There was little doubt that Russia's ambition in the days of amerine included the shifting of ineir capital irom St. Petersburg to Constantinople, and this ambition probably' remained at the present time. Not until the reign of Abdul Hamid, stigmatized by tremendous cruelty to the Armenians, had German influence asserted itself in Turkey.

When the British and French fleets were steaming eastward to bear a protest against the Armenian massacres, Abdul Hamid had consulted the German Emperor, and Wjlhelni JL had sent back the assurance that he would stand by his friends. Every time after that when massacres of the Armenians recurred, some concession had been made to Germany by the Turks for "standing by." Railway rights and other concessions had been granted Germany, and that country had thus been brought into disastrously close touch with the power of Islam. The had actually had a palace built within the Kiosk of Yildl. and was tha only European monarch who had ever thus degraded himself. Ir.

Ami concluded his historical sketch by outlining the results of the Treaty of Berlin and dwelt on the deposing of Abdul Hamid in 1909, following which Turkey had Obtained its constitution in 1910. The lecturer then showed many interesting views of cities in the Turkish Empire, and slides Illustrating Turkish customs. He told of Constantinople's former canine population of 47,000 pariahs, which slept by day and barked by night, hindering traffic and preventing sleep. On one occasion he had eounted as many as 183 of these dogs from the steps of his hotel, and then stopped counting. The circumstance of the dog's bwishment from the Turk'sh capital wne le-called.

Turning to the religious exercises of the Turks. Dr. Ami showed many beautiful mosques oa the screen. in one of which, the Church of the Ho'y Wisdom, he had heard as many as sixty Imans preaching at the same time to the vast congregation. The Sultan Abdul Hamid, when he used to attend prayers on Friday aiter-noons, went to the mosque with an escort of thirty thousand troops, ail the princes and officers of state.

Friday was the official Turkish day of rest, but with so many Jews in the Empire, Saturday was alao generally observed in the same manner by the sympathetic population, and nearly every one fell in with the Christians in the repose of Sunday, so that for all practical purposes there were really three dais of rest in the week. A vote of thanks to the speaker was moved by 1'rofsasor Caldwell, seconded by Professor Bieler, and carried with acclamation. Professor Brodie Broekwell, president of the Oriental Society was in the chair. Danes in British Army LondfTn, December 1.

Toronto, December 14.

The public school of Sturgeon Fails have won their fight for the full taxes of the Spanish River Pulp and Paper Com pany, in spite of the decision of the local Court of Revision confirmed by the district judge, which' gave one' third of the company's taxes to the separate schools. The decision, which will have effect upon the claim of separate schools throughout the pro vince, and may lead to a shift In taxes in more than one centre, was nanaea out by the Ontario Hallway ana Municipal Board this evening. The board in leading up to He Juugment, reviews tl.e facts of the case, the resolution of the board of directors of the company to apportion one-third of its taxes to the separate acnooi, the giving of notice to that effect to the town cleark, and the sub sequent action of tl.e Court of Be vision In accepting the notice and making the division between the pub lie and separate schools ae proposed oy me company. RIGHTS TO ASSESS, The public school supporters, in apt pealing to the board after losing ineir appeal to the district Judge, at tacked U.e sufficiency of the notice, but the board holds that the dau of the notice was not material. From this point, however, the board entire ly supports the claim of the appel lants.

Reviewing tl.e general purpose or tne various statutes bearing upon me point, Chairman Mclntyre points out mat tne puoliu school board of. a municipality has no right to assess for taxes upon the property of a Boman Catholic ratepayer, though that ratepayer has given due notice of his faith. Similar in intention wa the provision made in respect to the taxes of Section sixty-six or tne separate schools act provided inat a corporation by resolution and giving proper notice of the same could apportion ita taxes with the limitation that the amount appor tioned to the separate school, "shall not bear a greater proportion to Die whole of such assessment than the amount of the stock or shares so held (Roman Catholic) bears to the wnoie amount of the stock or Shares. On tl.ls point the board finds the company resolution insufficient. since no proof of the religion of the snarenomers was The decision continues: "In view' of this clear limitation on the powers of the corporation it seems to the board that a resolution of this Kind, if questioned before any com petent tribunal, can be supported only ny proof that tne limitation has not been exceeded, and.

Neither in the appeal to the Court of Revision or the district judge was.

any evidence submitted to thow ljt the apportionment was warranted by Neither was any evidence on thia point offered on the hearing before this. The chairman deals with the argu ment of the counsel for the company that a further section of the Separate Schools Act declared a notice given to be sufficient. This he re (lines to accept, since it would practically re peal the preceding sections. "Tl.e latitude which such an interpretation might allow corporations in apportioning their assessments Is not in accord with the wet define oolicy of the legislature in respect of taxation for school purposes, as disclosed in the enactment referred to," says Mr. Mclntyre.

"Not only has the state of facta giving rise to the right not been shown to exist here, but from the Initiation of this transaction until the present time no attempt to verify the facts In the case has been made by those assuming to exercise the right, and the board is unable to say whether the apportionment proposed is warranted by law or not." The board also confirms an agreement made as to the proper assessment of the company's properties. ENCOUNTERED BAD STORM Wheelsman Imprisoned in Pilot House by Ice Sault Ste. Marie, December 15. Nearing the end ef a successful year's navigation, the steamers here are not taking any chances. Four up-bound steamers anchored in shelter here last night and two this morning.

A number of down-bound steamers which were due under ordinary circumstances have not arrived at the Soo yet. Covered with ice and enow after weathering a stiff gale Tuesday, and Tuesday night, the steamer Maruba, of the Leonard Line, came limping jp the river this morning. The Maruba is the first vessel this season to enter port in this condition, and it furnished a novei sight to those who never before had aeet it. The Maruba left Buffalo Sunday night just before the marine Insurance for the year closed, and on Mon day hit a bad snowstorm tn Lake St. Clair.

Although tha storm was not as severe as have been experienced this year, the waves were high enough to throw a spray over the upper works of the boat, almost as- high as the pilot house. It was necessary for the crew to us hot water hose on the door and the windows of the pilot house to release the wheelsman. He we taken out through one of the windows none the worse of his experience. In the places where the ice had been left on the side of the Bitot hotip. St was nearly six inches thick.
