Marketing Plan During Morning WITH CRIES MEASURE FOR HANDLING OF FARM PRODUCTS RE NO HOPE OF SUCCESS UNLESS ELECTION FOUOHT AS STRAIGHT PAETY BATTLE, JOHNSTONE SAYS; CHARGES RELIEF MONEY MISUSED Flaring into open debate in the convention hall, the differences of so-called "true blue" Conservatives were aired this morning during the second and final day's sitting of the Saskatchewan Liberal-Conservative Association. Charges that federal relief money for Saskatchewan was tt used to "plug" the last Conservative convention at Moose Jaw were made by Dr. D.

S. Johnstone, Regina, head of the true blues, and in a fiery Bpeech he urged, too, that the Conservative party at the next election divorce itself from the government which was "not a Conservative government at all." COMMITTEE OF 21 TO CONCILIATE QUESTED BY SASKATCHEWAN COUNCIL; DESPERATE SITUATION LAID BEFORE PREMIER Request for the preparation of a farm products marketing measure by the federal minister of agriculture was made by a delegation waiting on Premier R. B. Bennett at Saskatoon yesterday. The delegation, which consisted of P.

E. Roblin, Govan, president of the Saskatchewan Livestock Pool, and R. H. Milliken, solicitor to the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, represented the Saskatchewan Co-operative Council, a body drawn from the various co-operative organizations of the province and also the interprovincial body set up at the time of a conference of representatives of the producers in the four western provinces held during the World's Grain Show at Regina. Mr.

Milliken Is secretary of the latter body, DEFER ACTION ON WHEAT PACT tioned yesterday, however, those of J. A. M. Patrick, K.C., Yorkton, and Dr. E.

T. Myers, Rosetown, the present president The suggestion for hearing of differences by the committee of 21 was made by Hon. M. A. MacPher-son, provincial treasurer, and carried Dractically unanimously.

Chance for a settlement of the differences appeared likely this afternoon, however, after the convention approved appointment of a committee of 21 delegates to thresh out the contentious matters. W. L. Ramsay, veteran Conservative ol the province, is chairman of this special committee and 10 members each were named by Premier J. T.

M. Anderson and Dr. Johnstone. This committee was called to meet during the noon adjournment and was Instructed to report back to the convention this afternoon. Injection of the "true blue" attitude prevented the convention i continuing during the forenoon with election of officers.

Doctor Johnstone insisted that a new understanding was the reason for the convention and that this point be cleared before delegates were re-" quired to vote for officers. The nomination was Interrupted yesterday by the necessity of hearing and welcoming Prime Minister R. B. Bennett. Two names were men A further resolution from the Saskatchewan conference, held In Saskatoon recently, called attention to the serious position of 50,000 Saskatchewan farmers due to drouth conditions.

It pointed out that due to successive crop failures coupled with low prices the reserves that would have tided over the periad of want had disappeared and the situation of over one-third of the agricultural population was desperate. Presentation of a further resolution in regard to the wheat agreement was deferred until a later date. Mr. Bennett received the deputation cordially and promised his attention to the requests nirfde. Following is the text of the first-named resolution: TEXT OF RESOLUTION "Whereas after many years experience in the marketing of farm products under the various systems hitherto used it has been amply demonstrated that anything short of complete producer control Is inadequate for the establishment of orderly marketing on a permanent basis; and "Whereas attempts at bringing about complete producer control by voluntary agreement seems incapable of accomplishment; and "Whereas In such Isolated In stances as producer control in duced by legislative authority has been tried, such enactments have been declared ultra vires of the power of the legislature enacting them; and STUDY DICTIONARY Amendment to Relief Board Bylaw Up Tonight Argue Definition of Policy Definition of the term "policy" may come In for considerable discussion at tonight's session of city c.ouncil-ln-commlttee, when a dralt amendment to the city relief bylaw, placing'control of policy In all lellef matters In the hands of the aldermen, will be Introduced for approval.

If the amendment is approved and become Inw, then the city relief board's function will be purely administrative. At presen1 the board defines Its own pollclus Relief board members have contended that policy and administration were so closely connected thai they could not be separated. Policy It has boon pointed way a part of administration. Mayor J. S.

Mills, after consulting a dictionary, is of this opinion, but some of the aldermen hold a different view. Accord lug to the definition of so-no of council members, policy wass tlr formulation of general rules, while administration was the application of the rules to actual practice. City Solicitor R. D. Phllllpj, who framed the draft amendment to day declined to commit himself on the question, and should the que-tion of ilefinition of the term arise the city's dictionary will be In the council chamber where it can be consulted by anyone interested.

Open attack on "grossness of misrepresentation" by Liberals and particularly the "western Liberal press" was made at the provincial Conservative' convention here this morning by Hon. Robert Weir, fed eral minister of agriculture, who summarized activities of the Canadian government in the interests of the western farmer, The Liberal press, he said, was simply trying to swing votes by pre judice. It was said time and again mat me conservatives were tne champions of the big Interests, the financial corporations, but the minister denied this, swinging the allegation to the western Liberal press. The Winnipeg Free Press, the Regina Leader-Post, the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix and the Saskatchewan Farmer all were "Sifton papers," he said, and added: "They're not capitalists are they? The whole Liberal press, one might say, is controlled by the capitalist of capitalists." People would think, the minister said, that the Liberals were the only ones capable of handling the country's business in the interests of the people. They attacked the Beauharnois deal and the assistance given when the Manitoba provincial savings bank got in difficulty but these actions had been taken purely in the interests of the 16 HOSPITALS ARE GIVEN APPROVAL Three Local Institutions Endorsed by American College Of Surgeons Sixteen Saskatchewan hospitals, including the Saskatoon City Hos- gltal, St.

Paul's Hospital and the anatorium here, are included in the list of hospitals which have been given approval by the Ameri can college or surgeons this year. For 16 years the American Col lege of Surgeons has conducted an nual surveys of hospitals in the United States and Canada In an effort to improve these Institutions in the best Interests of the public. The surveys have been carried on through the hospital standardization movement of the college which has as Its basis the minimum standard which all hospitals desiring approval must meet. In 1918 only 89 hos pitals in the United States and Canada could meet the requirements of the college, for approval. This year of 3,554 institutions sur veyed, 2,384 have been approved, or by per cent "The American College of Surgeons its approved list every year," Dr.

The approved hospitals in this province are named in the following list.

In Winnipeg he has been active In relieving the difficulties of the unemployed and in organization of Goodwill Industries.

fill The present government was using us resources in tne best possible manner for every individual. Mr. Weir referred at lentrth to the bonus on wheat, the assistance given in marketing which had been equal to a 10-cent bonus, the imperial conference agreements, and particularly in reference to bacon and butter. The minister pointed out that the United Kingdom paid more in 1930 for bacon than it did for wheat. Both the federal minister and Hon.

W. C. Buckle, minister of agriculture for Saskatchewan, had done their utmost to encourage the bacon Industry. The Liberal press had done its utmost to discourage this. "Who can estimate," he said, "the los3 the western press had caused by discouraging this production of hogs?" He sirongly condemned such opposition within tnis country by who should have been "the first to help." Liberal leaders, too and he quoted from a speech by W.

R. Motnerwell had attacked the Imperial agreements. The sole reason was because the agreements were Conservative achievments. On the subject of bacon, Mr. Weir said that as a result of these agreements the producer of hogs north of Nipawin was getting more on the hoof than the broker in Chicago.

Free entry had been arranged for 280,000,000 pounds of bacon annually into the United Kingdom. Great applause was given the minister after his delineation of the government's activities. Besides the subjects already dealt with, Mr. Weir also cited the assistance given the Hudson Bay route, In refutation of the Liberal clair" that the Conservatives were aligned solely with the moneyed Interests of the east.

Doak of Prince Albert in a recent decision granted judgment in favor of the plaintiff In the action of Texas Oil Company of Canada against William S. Fulton. The action was for the return of equipment installed on the defendant's property while the property was under loase to the plaintiff company's agent. The company's agreement with the agent having expired, the company sought to make an agreement with the defendant. Falling this the company Va I 1 1.

In his judgment, Judge Doak remarked: "All of them (various articles of equipment) were attached to the soli in such a way as to make them in my opinion part of the realty. On the other hand I do not aocept the proposition put forward by the defendant that these articles were permanont structures which could not be removed by the tenant." After reviewing principles of law applicable to "fixtures," His Honor held the equipment fel Into the category of trade fixtures and so could be removed by the tenant. What are or are not fixtures Is a question of fact In each case, depending on the circumstances. These were not placed on the property to benefit the reversion, but merely as accessories to a filling station," he remarked.

"I should be extremely loath to give effect to the defendant's claim to retain possession which I consider nothing moi or lew than a fraudulent attempt on hi? part to obtain the ownership of goods to which he morally has no right," his honor declared.

Identified as One of Notorious Raiders Of 1928-29 PROBE BURGLARIES IN SASKATCHEWAN MAX CAUGHT AT DKl MUELLER GOES UP FOR 8 TEARS; POLICE CONTINUE WORK Special to The Star-Phoenix DRUMHELLEIt, Oct. 11. George V.

Peters, who started today on a six-year stretch in Prince Albert penitentiary after pleading guilty to a charge of breaking into the powder magazine of the Thomas Coal Company at Nacmine and stealing detonators, has now been identified as a member of the once notorious Andrews-Peters gang which toured Saskatchewan in 192 and 1929. BROTHER DROWNED The gang was broken up when Harold Peters, brother of the convicted man, was drowned while attempting to escape from a United States sheriff after being arrested at the behest of the Alberta provincial police. Harold had been found hiding in a Florida swamp. While George Peters is on his way to the penitentiary, police are endeavoring to link him up with a long string of safe cracking episodes and other crimes including the theft of close to $900 from the post office at Vaughan, Sask, 30 miles north of Battleford; $92 found in the possession of the accused bear serial numbers which closely correspond to the money stolen ffom the Vaughari. post office in July.

Peters came out of jail last June after serving a four-year sentence for a robbery committed at Melfort Sask. He answers to the description of the man who stole the Ford coupe of Col. S. L. McMullen, from a Drumheller garage In July, which car was later found cached away laden with stolen loot near Battleford.

DRIVEN 7,000 MILES He is suspected also of stealing a car at Lloydminster which was abandoned at Camrose about the time when another Ford coupe discovered by police last night In Drumheller, had been stolen in Camrose. The car, which was missed by its owner August 24, has been driven 7,000 miles since that date. Charles Murray, 20 -year -old watchman, knocked out Peters when he found the accused running away from the Thomas mine powder magazine. A complete burglar's equipment was found In his possession, the tools indicating that Peters was preparing to specialize in safe cracking. Murray states that Peters offered him a bribe to let him make a getaway before the scrap which ended In the desperado going down before a haymaker.

The accused, who is about 38 years old, was convicted in Regina in 1924 to a long sentence on a breaking and entering charge and when released he tied tip with his brother Harold, and William Andrews, later deported, to form the notorious Andrews-Peters gang. Harold Peters, before attempting his final getaway which ended In, his death, had escaped from R.C.M.P. in and near Saskatoon on two occasions. Peters' parents live at New Osgoode, a few miles from Melfort. FIND AUTO ROUE City police report the finding of an automobile robe and a sack containing 50 pounds of coal.

RELIEF CHARGE Doctor Johnstone and T.

A. Anderson, both prominent "true blues," were leaders in the debate on the floor of the convention, but numerous other Conservatives also spoke in support of Premier Anderson and the Co-operative government, emphasizing that the Conservative leader had taken the only course open to him. It was said by Doctor Johnstone that "there are 50,000 Conservatives in Saskatchewan who believe that we cannot go into an election with reasonable hope of success if we have to follow the trail of the Co-operative government and present leadership, which is not a Conservative government." He charged that reports were given yesterday which did not have "a word of truth in them." They did not tell the whole facts about Este-van and Kintstino. The greatest furore, however, was caused by the statement that federal relief money was used to "plug" the Moose Jaw convention with delegates. The statement was vigorously protested by Henry Black, Regina, chairman of the Saskatchewan Relief Commission, who took it as a reflection on that commission.

Doctor Johnstone then rose to amplify the statement. "I have just as high a regard for the commission as anyone," he said. "I was speaking of money that found its way to the minister of highways and was used for that purpose." (It was not stated In the convention but was learned from a delegate present that Doctor John-Atone, had claimed before that de- Oliver is Guilty Of Bod ily Harm Special to The Star-Phoenix NORTH BATTLEFORD, Oct. 11, Facing charges arising from the death of Ben McDonald, allegedly following a drinking party last August, Emmanuel Oliver, Blaine Lake farmer, was today freed by a jury In the Court of King's Bench on a charge of manslaughter, but found guilty on the lesser count of having Inflicted grievous bodily harm. Sentence will be passed by Chief Justice J.

T. Brown at a- later date. J. O. Diefenbaker, K.C., Prince Albert, appeared for the defense.

COLLECTION PLATE HAS PASSED WORST Bottom Touched in Revenue, United Churchmen Hear; September Brighter Financial difficulties in drouth-stricken and grasshopper ridden districts alternated with more cheerful reports of income by some committees In the reports presented this morning to the Saskatoon presbytery of the United Church of Canada meeting in Knox Church. Rev. Charles Endicott pointed out that the collections for Canada as a whole of the missionary and maintenance fund after a steady series of declines, appeared to have touched bottom. The month of September showed the first advance for a long time and an increase over September of the previous vear. Portions of the Saskatoon presby tery particularly in the southwestern area had been seriously hit by drouth and grasshoppers and churches that were independent charges had now lower incomes than some of the areas operated under the board of home missions.

It was pointed out that such charges could not be transferred to the status of missions. The home mission board had suffered an income decrease of 66 per cent. Assistance to such churches would be through the emergency fund set up for that purpose. The church should not forget thai the opportunities In the foreign mission field were greater than at any previous time, Dr. J.

L. Stewart reminded the presbytery. Mr. Endicott commented on the disproportion In the gifts of some churches to various funds. Better organization of women members than of the men was suggested as a reason.

A dincusslon of Sunday observance was to feature the afternoon gathering. BANK CLEARINGS Saskatoon bank clearings for the week ending today were $1,169,806.35. For the corresponding period last year they were $1,683,036.34. Obituary MRS. A.

It was the contention that these delegates were favorable to the election of Doctor Myers as president. Doctor Johnstone then was a nomin.ee for the presidency). ENLARGES ON PROTEST In enlarging on his protest that the co-operative government was not.

a Conservative one, Doctor Johnstone continued: "I would ask that the leader of this government and his followers let the Conservative party go ahead on its own and free from association with the government until the provincial election is over." By being entirely in-detendcnt of the provincial government, the Conservatives thys would take away 90 per cent of the opposition's argument. That method, to him, was the only way of getting a majority of Conservatives elected. "Is it fair to ask the Canservatlve party to share this jeopardy?" he queried. When the election was over, he said, he didn't care who was elected to the leadership of the Conservative party. The biggest man would get there.

While the subsequent talk was reverberating back and forth thare was a motion put that the press be excluded from the convention hall. Numerout delegates spoke pro and con but a motion to exclude was defeated by a large majority. Hon. M. A.

MacPherson urged that the press be allowed to remain in the AGAINST SECRECY It was only right that differences should be Ironed out in the open and by permitting the press to remain In "The Leader-Post and The Star-Phoenix cannot say that we had to get our differences settled in a way we were ashamed of."

Bates, Lanlgan, were principal speakers In support of Premier Anderson's action in forming a Co-operative government The premier had met the situation In the best possible man' ner in the interests of Saskatchewan. The Conservatives did not have a clear majority without support from the Independents and Progressives and co-operation was the only course in order to have the power. Sir John A. Macdonald had not been afraid or co-operation; neither was Doctor Anderson. Mr.

Bates pointed out that some allow ances had to be made for other forces within the House outside of the Conservatives. Cheers and ap plause greeted the support lor the premier. 738 DELEGATES Bv adiournment time yesterday. 738 accredited delegates had been registered and officers were greatly pleased by the turnout In addition there were numerous visitors, the auditorium being packed during the address by the prime minister.
