(Special.) The Tonight the three men who held up the Imperial Limited will take up quarters in the New Westminster' mansion whose dust Brothicr has just shaken from his patent leathers. People are not asking how soon they will he pardoned, though some intimate that Colqu houn has friends in Ontario, alter Brothier, one never knows. The news of the conviction of Edwards, alias Miner, "Shorty" Dunn and Colqiihnun was received in Vancouver on Friday evening and was speedily announced all over the tty by The World, which, an usual, led all newspapers in giving the information to the public. It was not considered desirable to "hold up" the people hy issuing an extra containing a few lines and some vamped up matter, but the actual finding of the jury was swiftly bulletined all round town. Another paper limped along with the news PUBLIC APOLOGY IS DEMANDED BY NEALE Not Propose to Overlook Remark Made by Mr.

Macdonell at Close of Yesterday's Shanghaiing Investigation. Mr. Edwin Neale does nor pTopojs to overlook the cmarks made to him publicly, by Mr. p. Macdonell, just I after the adjournment of the hearing'! before Captain Gaudin yesterday, and which were reported in The World yesterday, lie has instructed his solicitor, Mr.

J. Kdward Bird, to demand from Mr. Macdonell a public apology, failing Few matters in connection with the administration of justice have stirred up puhlie indignation in Vancouver as strongly as the release of that, conscienceless criminal, Desire Brothier. There is only one bright spot in the whole of what is to tie said about the matter so far, and that is that the prin cipal condition of the pardon is that Brothier is to leave Canada. It is understood that his friends, save the mark, are to send him to Paris.

There, it may be presumed, he will doubtless resume his nefarious profession of procuring young girls to lead a life of shame. There is no excuse in the opinion of most people for such a crent nre as Brothier being alive at all, let alone being abroad. Thnt redolent rodent, the polecat, would be a more acceptable companion Ihnu he. Many people think that the unfinished charges against him should be revived so that he can be put back ns soon as possible where he belongs. "It is a most disgraceful thing.

It is a shame and a blot on our judicial system. It cost thousands of dollars to convict that field in human form, Brothier, nnd the sentences imposed on him were at the best inadequate. He Is not lit to be abroad and this city tins no room for him. The police have been advised accordingly." So spoke Mayor Buscomhe, when asked this morning his opinion of the pa 'doii of the brute Brothier. "The news came to me as the greatest surprise possible," said Mr.

T. S. Baxter. "I think that a full explanation of the affair should be mnde public. There must have been something laid before the department of justice to bring about such a move and the public should know what it was." Mr.

E. Burns, who prosecuted Brothier, said: "I knew nothing of any such move being mnde till I heard that Brothier was free. It is stain on the administration of jiistiee. The whole matter should be sifted to the bottom ami the public put in possession of the facts." Chief Constable Colin Campbell is nt a loss to understand how Brothicr's release was brought about. If ever man deserved punishment, he did.

Hi crimes were the bhukest and vilest and he was committed for trial on ten charges, although only three of them were pushed. There were three cases of procuring and convictions were obtained on two of them. There was one case of perjury on which a conviction was secured. There were also ywo cases of theft and four of forgery, on which stay of proceedings was entered when the oilier convictions had been made, it being thought that Brothier would get a fair share on the other charges. Instead he got off with only seven years, five years was the term for.

the perjury and two years for procuring. He got two years on each count, but they run concurrently, yet this was to be cumulative on the perjury term. "Now." says Mr. Campbell, "he has been let nut with only two years of his seven years up. It seeins hardly worth while to send men to penitentiary if thev arc to only receive less than a third of their full term.

Brothier, nnywiiy. should be locked up in a moral pest house. lie is not fit to be nbroad in any decent community." Members of the police force and detectives who worked up the case against Brothier are a unit in expressing the utmost disgust and indignation over the pardon of Brothier. One and all they look upon the man ns the most abandoned wretch ever brought to justice in British Columbia, and whose righteoun desserts would have been a life term. It is not very well known that Brothier made a desperate attempt to bribe the officers who effected his arrest.

On the way to the station he offered Pi Real Estate Review of the Week Member Wires That Thotv ough Investigation Will Be Held. It is probable that the agitation in connection with the Keating shanghaiing case will rest until the evidence taken by Capt. Gaudin has reached the department at Ottawa and it is definitely known whether or not the department will order a fuller inquiry. A telegram received by the committee of the Typographical union in answer to their protest regarding the scope of the so called investigation yesterday indicates that it is altogether likely that a properly constituted investigation will be ordered. The telegram is from R.

G. Macpherson, M. and reads: "Gaudin not appointed. Only preliminary. An investigation satisfactory to your committee and myself is the only investigation 1 will stand for.

G. MACPHERSON." Under the circumstances the committee see nothing to be done until there is further nnd definite word from Ottawa. What the committee would like to see would he a properly constituted judicial inquiry, and it is suggested that Stipendiary Magistrate Alexander, who is thoroughly conversant with local conditions and knows the situation, would make a very satisfactory judge. Mayor Buscomhe said this morning that in view of the despatch sent from Ottawa by Mr. R.

G. Macpherson, M. that nothing would satisfy him but the fullest and freest investigation of the Keating kidnaping or shanghaiing case, it would not be for anyone else to make a move in the matter in the meantime. They would be quite safe in waiting till Mr. Macpherson has either got what he wants or has used his last endeavor to do so.

In that case there was another course of action that could be taken to have light thrown on the matter. It will not be allowed to drop, but it would not be fair to hamper Mr. Macpherson nt this stage of the proceedings with any outside interference. Any assistance he might need would he cheerfully given. changes in Ministry Consequent Upon Appointment of Fitzpatrick as Chief Justice, Ottawa, 2 (Special.) Hon.

One of the strongest protests against the release of Desire Brothier from the penitentiary comes from Mr. H. H.

Stevens, secretary of the Moral Reform association. Mr. Mevens brands it a nn unprecedented outrage that cannot hut disgust and nrotise all right minded citizens. He states that the matter will be discussed at the regular meeting ot the association next week, although hs hardly knows what can be done beyond the registering of most emphatic pro test in the right quarters. When asked his opinion of the pardoning of Desire Brothier.

Police Court Prosecutor Enrris said, "I don't know. It seems strange." Chief North was more expressive, as is shown hy his answer to the samo question, "I think it's a disgrace." Ha went on to say that there were several other charges against Brothier which ha thought could have been pressed to conviction, but in the face of the sentences given Brothier the remainder of the charges were drepprd. Mr. S. Moore, the barrister, thought "it was the limit," while Mr.

G. V. Cane considered that Brothier was the victim of a plot against him by some others who were as guilty as he and in view of the fact that these had escaped punishment he could find no fault with the pardoning of Brothicr. Mrs. Brothier was seen lu Vancouver yesterday in company with a man who is supposed to be a member of the gang.

ami intormaiiou is reunuiy given, though not authenlicated pnsi lively, that the Brothier woman, who escaped trial here, is '(inducting a house of ill fame in Portland. Several legal men have advanced the opinion that the remaining untried charges which have been sleeping in the archives of the court, could be brought nn anil the man forced to stand trial tor 1 each. A rumor has been on the street since the release of Brothicr became known, that some local firm of lawyers had been acting for him in endeavoring to procure a pardon. In some quarters the names of Messrs. Russell, Russell Si Potlenger have been used.

When interviewed hy The World this morning these gentlemen state that shortly after Brothicr as committed to the penitentiary, they were approached hy his brother who wished them to look into the case and see if there were any possible grounds on which to base an. appeal. The firm decided thnt they could do nothing for Brothier, nnd from that time until now they have known absolutely nothing about the case. So far as can he learned no Vancouver firm has had anything to do with procuring Brothicr's pardon. Ottawa, June 2.

Tisdall is that the park board cannot afford to pay the raise in the price of each concert, exacted hy the hand. Last year the band gave concerts for $.11. .10 each, while this season the price asked is $40. The difference for the season will amount to and the park board are powerless to raise this amount as those who are directly benefited by the concerts, including the B. C.

Electric company, absolutely refuse to provide any larger subscrip'ion toward the concerts than they contributed last season. It is true that the band has consented to give two hour concerts, but in the opinion of the park board a two hour concert will keep the young people out too iate. The band is giving the Sunday concerts at the same rate as was charged last year. RTSiTto EUROPE. New York, June 2.
