In the case of St. Jacques ie Jlineur Church which was destroyed by fire two weeks ago, de tectives stated yesterday that they were unable to say whether or not the fire was of incendiary origin Nine of the ten witnesses held by the detectives were released yes terday afternoon.

Xo definite indication that the fii-a li-hir-h Hestroved the St. Jac- oue le Mineur Church on the morning of March 26 had been criminally set has been uncovered, despite the fact that the ruins have been carefully examined, following the reopening of the inquiry in the Fire Commissioner's Court yesterday afternoon it was learned at detective bureau that nine of the ten witnesses held for questioning had been released. Detectives anr.ounn.ed last night that the only man being held out of the ten is Henri Stury. 45 years of age, a Swiss, of 2641 Ontario street east. He is not being detained as a witness in connection with the St.

Jacques le Mineur Church fire, detectives said, but merely for deportation as an alien. The police are at present checking up certain details regarding Stury in order to warrant his deportation. With the detention of Stury only for investigation, the police are now holding no one in connection with the church fires. The inquiry was opened before Fire Commissioner David R. Walsh on March 29 when very little evi-.

dence. was given which might throw light on the disastrous fire. The parish priest and the vicar were both heard and the inquiry was postponed until yesterday. of the arson squad investigated several clues which they gathered and questioned and re-questioned the ten persons held at detective headquarters. POLICE XOT PREPARED.

Vesterday afternoon, however, Commissioner Walsh announced that it was decided not to hear any witnesses as the police were not prepared to conclude the case. then announced that the inquiry will be postponed sine die. Asked in court whether any of the witnesses held would be released, Commissioner Walsh stated: "As I did not have ine witnesses detained myself, I am not in a position to arrange for their release." Antoine Senecal, K.C., Crown prosecutor, who last week asked i'ire Commissioner Walsh that the men held at the time be detalried a longer period, stated yesterday afternoon that he did not know whether any of them had been released. He said that he was not present at the reopening of the inquiry yesterday and could give no information. Captain of Detectives McManus and Sergrt.

Detectives Mcilahon nd Debruu, of the arson squad, stated yesterday that they are continuing their investigation into the church fire which had threatened the lives of over 2,000 persons who were attending mass at the time. Doubt as to whether the slight fire at the St. James Basilica, Dorchester street west, had been set bv criminal hands, was expressed "vesterday afternoon by detectives who are investigating. They stated that they now have good information and that the fire inquiry will be opened on April 11 when eight witnesses will be heard. Yesterday morning the arson quad, accompanied by Fire Commissioners Emile Massicotte and David R.

Walsh, visited the cathedral and questioned several persons. They examined the room in the basement where a fire was supposed to have been set, but they refused to divulge any information. Detectives, however, stated that their case is almost closed and that they are waiting for the opening of the inquiry before divulging any information to the public, EX-JUDGE FORTIN IS BORNE TO GRAVE Former Colleagues on Bench Act as Honorary Pallbearers Hon.

P. F. Poitras. POULIOT REBUKED BY SPEAKER BLACK Statements Regarding Reporter Are Expunged From Hansard Ottawa. April 5.

Jean Francois Pouliot, Liberal member for Tem-iscouata, experienced the disappro bation of Mr. Speaker Black in the House of Commons today when, In connection with statements made by Mr. Pouliot on Monday, the Speaker ruled that he had overstepped his rights as a member of the House. Portions of Mr. Pou liot's statements were ordered ex' punged from Hansard.

At the same time the Prime Min ister asked that other observations made by Mr. Pouliot be expunged in that the member for Temiscou ata had attributed to the Prime Minister statements which Mr. Ben nett did not make and which do not appear in the official records of the House. This measure of discipline came as the first order of business in the House this afternoon. Mr.

Speaker Black, reading from a pre pared statement, recalled that on Monday Mr. Pouliot on a question of privilege had quoted from the French language weekly newspa per, Le Journal, whose Ottawa cor respondent, he claimed, bad misrc presented him. "I find, however," said the Speak' er, "on reading a translation of the honorable member's remarks that he went much further than be had a right to in addressing himself to a question of privilege. He attacked the reporter and made remarks concerning members of the House which he had no right to do at that time and in that way." (The member for Temlscouata had on Monday alluded to the reporter of Le Journal as a "dirty fellow," adding that if he continued to distort facts steps frould be taken to expel him from the Press Gallery where, Mr. Pouliot had said, "He was only The Speaker quoted authorities on the piatter and ordered certain cf Mr.

PouJiot's statements expunged from the records of the House as being "entirely iniiiroper and unparliamentary on that oc-caon." Following this, the Prime Minister rose and declared that yesterday Mr. Pouliot had attributed to him observations which he (the Premier) had not made and which did not appear in Hansard. "I deny the right of that member to add to any observation made by me in the House," said Mr. Bennett. "I therefore ask that the words in question be deleted, otherwise it would permit any honorable gentleman in the House to impugn the accuracy of a statement in the House and make remark for other members of the House." Sinclair Bill Killed Toronto, April 5.

Legal Bills Committee of the Ontario Legislature today killed the bill to abolish the grand Jury system introduced by W. E. X. Sinclair, K.C., House Liberal leader, but agreed to urge a survey of the jury system through the Attorney-General's Department. Many lawyer members of the House participated in the de- bate on the bill, with some of them the jury system.

Beer Tax Bill Passes Albany, N.Y., April 5. The New-York Senate today passed the Buckley bill providing for a tax of approximately $1 a barrel on beer. The Assembly had previously passed the measure. It now goes to Governor Lehman for his signature. DIAMOND WATCHES Exclusive Designs Moderate Prices INFLOW OF CAPITAL Board of Trade Opposes Budget Tax on Outgoing Dividend Payments ARCAND DEFENDS BILL Minister Contends Proposed Board of Examiners Has Union Support Business Men Unconvinced Opposition to taxing dividends paid by Canadian debtors to nonresidents of the Dominion was expressed yesterday at the weekiy council meeting of the Board of Trade.

In the communique issued after the meeting it was stated: Consideration of the budget provision that a tax of 6 per cent, be levied on dividends or interest paid or credited by Canadian debtors to non-residents of Canada led to a. decision to make representations to the federal Government in opposition to the proposal. In 193 the Government proposed to put a tax of per cent, on these dividends and the Council of that year made strong and successful representations against the tax. The same reasons then advanced against "the 2 per cent, tax apply to the proposed 5 per cent, tax, emphasized perhaps by the fact that the latter is two and a half times as great as the put forward in 1-931. The Council believed it to be of the utmost importance that Canada, being' a borrower nation, should encourage by every legitimate means the flow into the Dominion of the capital so urgently required for development of resources.

It was felt there is rea son to doubt whether the beneftt of the revenue which would accrue from the taxation of dividends of non-residents would offset the ad vantage of being able to assure prospective British or foreign in vestors that this country does not tax the income of non-residents who invest their money in Cana- dian securities. The fact that some other countries do apply such a tax is no indication that its adop tion here would be justified, was the argument used. ARCAND REPLIES TO BOARD. The Hon. Mr.

Arcand, Minister of Labor, acknowledged the Council's representations in opposition tp his bill, which provides fqr the settins-up of a Board of Examiners for. and the licensing of, contractors journeymen and apprentices en gaged in repairing or renewing heating or refrigerating systems or mechanical sprayers in the larger municipalities. Mr. Arcand sta'ed that his bill had the support of the Master Plumbers Association oi Montreal, the Master Plumbers' section of the Retail Merchants' Association of Montreal, the Builders' Association of the City of Que bec, together with the International and National Catholic Unions. The Council was still of the opinion that governments should not continue to multiply depart ments, boards, to interfere with trades or businesses, always course adding costs to the taxpayer or the public.

The desire of the Department of Labor to see that all workmen engaged in the trad specified are competent, is laudable. it was admitted, but when it in Volves further interference with business it becomes open to argu ment whether the trades concerned. together with the public, could not, more beneficially, themselves bring about the improvement aimed at.

Granting of a subvention or bonus on freight rates to the Peace River district to bring about a parit- with the Edmonton area at least will be urged upon the Dominion Government by the Alberta Legislature. A resolution moved by Hugh TV. Allen, C.F.A., Grande Prairie, asked the Dominion to give 'immediate and serious consideration to the subvention plan.

Th6 resolution was adopted without opposition. POLICE SERGEANT HELD FOR PERJURY Indictment Against Chicago Gangster Made on Previous Testimony Chicago, April Admission by Police Sergeant Harry Lang, principal prosecution witness in the trial of Frank "The Enforcer" Nit-ti, Capone chieftain, that he did not know whether Nitti shot at him during a police raid, led to Lang's arrest on a charge of perjury late today. The admission, weakening, the State's case against the gangland leader, threw the courtroom Into uproar. Prosecutor Charles 3. Dougherty promptly asked Lang's arrest on a perjury warrant and the police officer was taken into custody, stripped of his star, and later released on $2,000 bond.

Lang, an ace of the late Mayor Anton J. Cermak's speclall detective squad, was the first witness called. His testimony led Dougherty to announce: "The witness was lying then (when he testified before a Grand Jury that Nitti shot him) or he is lying now. It was upon hls'testi-mony that the indictment against the defendant was returned." Nitti was shot and seriously wounded during the raid in a skyscraper office of the gang forces he headed. Lang was slightly wounded as his squad rounded up the tenants.

MENACE TO PUBLIC Accountant Pleads Guilty to Twelve Charges of False Pretences ASKS ANOTHER CHANCE Given 4 Years by Judge Tet- reau Awaits Sentence by Judge Marin on 6 Other Counts Branded by Judge Tetreau a public inenace, David Giroux alias Lachapelle, who pleaded guilty to twelve cases of false pretences whereby he swindled local mer chants to the tune of thousands of dollars, went to the penitentiary for four years yesterday.

Giroux also awaits sentence by Judge Marin on six other counts of false pretences. "Another chance" was what Giroux, 40-year-old accountant, asked for. 'Another echoed Judge Tetreau. "Xou have been doing the same thing systematically for a very long time, and you have pleaded guilty here in this court to twelve accusations. The public must be protected." "Judge," said the accused, "I have a sick wife.

Don't suspend a sword of Damocles over my head." "You forget," said His Honor, "that by letting you go I shall be suspending a sword of Damocles over the heads of an already hard-hit public. You are a public men ace. Your system has resulted in victim after victim, and it Is time you were out of the way." Giroux. whose record was un enviable een before the present charges were brought against him, wag the operator of an ingenious system. It was his trick first to negotiate for the purchase of business concerns, paying by false cheque, and then to use the credit thus achieved to pass other cheques.

For example, he would first tender, a cheque for one thousand dollars on a business. At this stage, of course, the transac tion was incomplete, and the fact that the cheque was false was not immediately discovered. Then he would ask others to cash smaller cheques, giving the name of the party in the former affair as a reference, and the money thus obtained would represent his profit, the major fraudulent transaction being abandoned. DECLARES RETURN TO GHETTO SOUGHT Jewish Industrialist Tells of Terrorism Witnessed in Germany A return to the old system of the Ghetto for the Jews of Germany, as practised in the dark Middle Ages, if not worse, is sought by the Hitler government, Joseph Aron, local novelty manufacturer, informed The Gazette yesterday upon his return from an extended trip through Germany. Leaving Berlin just a day before the official boycott went into effect, Mr.

Aron said that the Jews lived in a constant state of terror and mental fear, due to the roughshod methods employed by the Nazis. Only yesterday morning, Mr. Aron received a cablegram from a niece who was forced to flee from the country immediately after the one-day boycott. The cablegram received from Amsterdam, reads as follows: "pogrom forced us to fly to Amsterdam. Penniless, urgent help needed." "The Nazis do what they like, without police interference," Mr.

Aron stated. The regular police units are powerless to use their prerogative when it comes to disciplining the Brown Shirts. Conditions were the same in Hamburg, Leipsic, Berlin, Frank-fort-on-Main and Heilbrun, Mr. Aron stated. The Nazi flag and the black, white and red Imperial flag are the only emblems allowed for display.

Extortion from Jewish shops for the support of the Nazi cause was a common complaint he heard from reliable Concentration camps, such as were used in the war period, are full to NAZIS' HOOLIGANISM. Hooliganism on the part of the youthful Nazis is rampant, Mr. Aron told The Gazette. He witnessed one particular case where a Jewish home was broken into on the pretext of a search and the residents put to all sorts of indignities. This branch of activity, he remarked, is frowned upon, yet the only reprimand is in the form of a verbal calling down.

Every person saying a word against the Nazi cause is sent to jail "for his own protection and that of the Keich," the victims are informed. An ironic part ot Nazi activity, Mr. Aron pointed out, is the stationing of Brown Shirts at street corners with collection boxes. "Help the Nazi Cause, Contribute to Send Jews to Palestine," their sandwich boards read; yet not one cent goes toward that purpose, "ily own brother, a man of 70, was assaulted on the tUreet, Just because he wore a long beard. He defended himself with a cane, but sustained severe injuries, while the police turned their faces away so that they could claim not to have seen anyr thing out' of the ordinary on their Mr.

Aron stated In conclusion. He was firm in his belief that civilization should not allow these atrocities to continue. Gerguson Given 3 Months New York, April 5. Harry F. Gerguson, has travelled past many immigration barriers as "Prince Michael Romanoff," was sentenced today" to three months' imprisonment on his plea of guilty to perjury, evading immigration officers and re-e-ntering the country after being deported.

The sentence, which will be served in the Federal House of Correction, was pronounced on the plea of guilty to the nine-count indictment charging perjury. Motorists May Not Run Them Down With Impunity in Middle of Street $355 DAMAGES AWARDED Two Men Struck by Automo bile While Crossing Street Conflicting Evidence Is Heard "The pedestrian has a right to make use of the highway and is chargeable only for' the exercise of a due amount of care, and the mere fact that a pedestrian Is hit In the middle of the highway cannot be considered as constituting negligence because he was there instead of on the sidewalk." Thus Mr. Justice McDougall, of the Superior Court, yesterday clarified the position of the pedestrian with respect to motorists and by the Judgment in which the comment was made His Lordship condemned Albert Pickering to pay Prank Stanicy Bird $217 and Pierre Berthiaume $138 for injuries sustained when they were struck by Pickering's car. The two men sued in a joint action, Bird for $412 and Berthiaume for $620, alleging that on the night of September 25, 1931. they were walking northward across St.

James street at the intersection of Seigneurs street, and were in the traffic lane appointed for pedestrians. A motor sprinkler owned by the city was watering the street and Pickering's car, in passing it, circled to the left and hit the two men. Bird broke a leg and Ber thiaume fractured a finger and suffered arm bruises and shock. In seeking damages the plaintiffs alleged that Pickering was speeding at an intersection, did not respect their right of way and did nothing to minimize the collision. Pickering, in defence, declared that the two men were 30 feet from the intersection when they were struck and that, under the circum-stances, he could not see them and could not be expected to know that they were there.

When he did see them, he declared, he swerved to the north and applied ins brakes. The evidence, His Lordship said, was conflicting as to where the vic tims were when the accident oc curred, whether they were on the line of Intersection or from 25 to 30 feet to the east. The weight of evj dence, however, went to show that they were in the pedestrian's lane After commenting on the rights of pedestrians on the highways, His Lordship declared that both Bird and Berthiaume had exercised the care and precaution required ot them. Judgment accordingly went against Pickering. FINE PROGRAMME OF CHORAL MUSIC St, Patrick's Ensemble Is Heard in Works of Haydn and Brahms.

Pine music, of a nature not often heard, and performed competently enough to give an audience a conception of its artistic contents, is one of the chief and only reasons wny public concerts should be It was a programme of such a. nature which made so enjoyable the concert given by the St. Patrick's Choral Society under the direction of Dr. Louis L. Balogh, in Windsor Hail last night.

The event was dedicated principally to the music of Haydn and Brahms, two of the greatest of the Teutonic masters. The former was represented by tho section of "The Seasons," the latter by the charming "Liebeslieder" end tin. magnificent Sixth Movement from the "German Requiem." In the nature of an interlude was the performance of the Liszt Pianoforte Concerto In A major with Paul de Marky as the soloist. Orchestral accompaniments Were provided by the McGill Conservatorium Orchestra augmented to the number of 40 piayers. The extract from "The Seasons" was well worth what was more or less a revival.

The music describes the transition from Winter to fcpring and the joys of the peasants at the advent of the latter season. It is simple and folk like, although the music sweeps along grandly enough in the choruses. The gem of the extract is the buss aria "With Joy the Impatient Husbandman" with its effective accompaniment. "Come Gentle Spring," the opening chorus, and "Be Propitious Bounteous Heaven" strike the noble note. The Brahms Liebeslieder, which one had never heard in public in Montreal before, were given in their original scoring for solo vocal quartette, double vocal quartette and four-hand piano accompaniment.

They are beautiful bits of folk lore, Viennese in spirit and with enough themes of a waltz nature to provide material for a hundred operettas. The crowning item was the great extract from Brahms' "Requiem," "Here on earth have we r.o continuing place." the vast landscape conjured up by this music, nothing less than a musical picture of the Last Judgment, was a stiff trial for a yoUns choral society. Thanks largely to Dr. Balogh's understanding of the score, the performance vas quite a representative one. The tempi were a little uncertain at times, the-middle section and the fugue being rather unsteady and a trifle on the fast side.

The performance of "The Seasons" extract was very competently done. The solos were ably sung by Jeanne Lonergan. soprano, Alfred O'Shea, tenorand Allan Burt, baritone. These soloists in company with Margot Charlebois, contralto, v.ere also heard in the Liebeslieder with Dr. Balogh and William Doyle at the piano.

Mr. Burt, further, gave a good account of himself in the brief solo passages in the "Requiem" number. Mr. de Marky played better than he has done for some time in the Liszt Concerto. His was a first-class performance, light and sure ind admirable fitted to the style of thf music.

Tho orchestra under Dr. BMogh handled the accompaniment effectively if rather heavily. Mr. de Marky's own cadenza duly London Hospital Physician's "Discovery" Made in Canada in 1924 METROPOLITAN DISPATCH Story of Cure and Discovery of Gland Secret by English Doctor Amuses McGill Despatches from London, Eng land, to the effect that an unnamed physician at the London Hospital in Whitecfaapel had "forestalled' Dr. J.

B. Collip, of McGill Unl-versity, in revealing the secret ot the parathyroid glands, proved a source of some amusement in medical circles at McGill yesterday The fact is that Dr. Collip made this discovery In 1924, and that during the last three years clin' cal treatment of diseases' brought about through these glands has been possible and has been carried out not only in Montreal hospi but in several centres in the United States. Work that has been effected in London along the same lines is known to McGill men, and it is clear that the "discovery" that has recently aroused much comment in the London press is more a newspaper "scoop" than a medical find. In other words, details of the work being carried out in London have apparently slipped out and been seized upon as good "news," local authorities suggest.

Cases such as those described in the London despatch have been treated here, although they are not common, and the results have been most satisfactory. A particular disease in which the bones become like paper and twist into horrible shapes have been traced to the parathyroid glands and treatment effected, but it is pointed out that great care has to be exercised In handling such cases. The London despatch read in part: LONDON HOSPITAL CASE, "A gland secret which reveals the cure for bow-legs, rickets and weak bones is said to have been discovered by a physician while treating a young woman at the London Hospital, Whitechapel. When the patient was admitted to the hospital, it is stated, her bones were so bent and weak that they threatened to collapse. "The young woman in question was operated upon and the tiny parathyroid glands in the neck were found to be diseased.

The glands were treated, and the woman is now making good progress. Further observation by the physician led to the discovery that four glands control the bone-building supplies of the body. "Capt. Harry L. Milsom, secretary of the hospital, told the following about the case: 'The London Hospital is recognized as one of the foremost hospitals for the treatment of bone diseases, arid patients come to us from far and near.

The physician's name. cannot be disclosed, bu his discovery is important. Hitherto the purpose of these glands has been unknown. It now appears that the parathyroid glands ensure that the amount of calcium in the body is maintained at a correct level. When the glands become diseased calcium is taken from the bones which are thereby "For several years Dr.

J. B. Collip, of McGill University, who, in conjunction with Dr. V. G.

Banting, produced Insulin for the treatment of diabetes, has been trying to find the secret of the glands Local authorities state the unnamed London physician has forestalled Dr. Collip." FARM RELIEF BILL BEFORE U.S. SENATE Measure to Give Agriculture Secretary Wide Powers Sure to Pass Washington, April 5. Dressed to suit President Roosevelt's ideas on price lifting and mortgages, the farm relief bill returned to the floor of the United States Senate today for consideration. Favorably reported by the agriculture committee, the bill to give Secretary -of Agriculture Wallace broad powers to deal with agrarian Ills was nest on the legislative list for debate with a rocky but almost certain road to passage ahead.

The bill went to the floor with a currency inflation recommendation, and bore as a aectiou the farm mortgage refinancing proposal ol the Administration, authorizing Issuance by federal land banks of $2,000,000,000 in bonds not guaranteed by the Government to brin about lower interest rales. The price bill, seeking to Increase the farmer's income fur his crops to the 1909-1914 level, covers, seven basic commodities: wheat, cotton, rice, tobacco, hogs and dairy products. In its report explaining the machinery proposed to raise prices, the Senate agriculture committee, headed by Smith of South Carolina, called for currency inflation to check "the policy of deflation," contending: "No substantial relief is possible for agriculture until the policy of deflation Is not only checked but reversed and a substantial sum of actual money Is admitted and, if need be, forced into circulation. Agriculture does not demand a 50-cent dollar or an unsound dollar, but does protest the retention of a 200-cent dollar" SEA SHELLS THROWN UP Carbon Mountain Suffers Another Violent Convulsion Durango, April 5.
