Jonathan Rogers Explain Purpose. MISREPRESENTATIONS OF LIQUOR MEN EXPOSED Explanation Sent to Morning Newspapers is Not Published. To the Editor of The World: Sir, Enclosed Is a copy of a letter which has been forwarded to the News Advertiser and Sun for publication. So lar they have refrained from publishing same. We are of the opinion that the subject matter of this letter is of sufficient importance for your paper to publish it; although the statements and letter referred to were not published in your paper, you refusing them although offered full advertising rates.

Yours faithfully, W. C. FIN'DLAT. To the Editor of the News Advertiser: Sir, What is oovlousiy a paid advertisement published In the Interests of the liquor traffic appeared on the sports page of your paper on Sunday, the 4th inst. signed "A rrohibltion ist." This article has the appearance of a letter, although it is a deceit, being in reality a paid liquor advertisement.

The signature. "A Trohl bitionist," is also untrue, because the writer advocates the continuation of the "licence system," which no Prohibitionist on earth could do. If the methods of Satan in appearing as an Angel of Light are ever exceeded, it is when a writer of liquor advertisements appears in print as a "Prohibitionist." This writer of liquor advertisements, who plainly states his fear to publish his effusion under his own name, also publishes in his article a copy of a private telegram sent under our signatures to Mr. Jonathan Rogers. Being a private telegram, this liquor advertiser must have acquired the copy in a manner which no gentleman of honor would stoop to, and now he as dishonorably publishes it with a deceitful perversion of purpose which is so far from truth that it Is characteristic of the liquor business in the interests of which It was published.

In explanation of our letter, which was quoted in the advertisement, it is sufficient to say that It was sent while the Temperance Act was in committee of the legislature, for the purpose of strengthening the hands of Mr. Rogers in his efforts to get the bill passed through parliament and to combat the principle of compensation which this false Prohibitionist advocates. The Prohibition Bill known as the C. Prohibition Act," is, in many respects, the most stringent Prohibition bill that has ever passed any legislature. It absolutely prohibits the sale of alcoholic liquors for beverage purposes in this province, and will receive the unqualified support of every true Prohibitionist and reformer.

If any weakness appears in the bill It can be remedied after the bill goes into effect and the weakness becomes apparent. We firmly believe that It will result In a decrease In the sale of liquor in this province to an amount of $10,000,000 per annum and will accomplish a reduction of more than 50 per cent of crime, as has already been accomplished in the State of Washington, according to the signed statements of Judge J. F. Ronald and Prosecuting attorney Alfred H. Linden.

The Prohibitionists are absolutely united with Mr. Jonathan Rogers anil the executive of the People's Prohibitionist Movement in their purpose and intention to pass this measure by the greatest majority that has yet been polled for any Prohibition bill in any province in Canada.

Alleged to have brutally beaten Charles Barber, an old man living at 2295 Broadway west, B. Cooke was brought before Magistrate Shaw, charged with aggravated assault. The evidence tended to show that the accused, with whom complainant had had trouble prior to the alleged assault, went behind Barber while the latter was working In his garden on May 4, and brutally beat him. inflicting such Injuries that he had to attend the General Hospital. Owinu to the fact that Dr.

McKay, who ul tended the complainant, was unable to be In court, the case was adjourned until Tuesday next, after evidence of the assault had been given by the complainant and a ladv residing near by. Detective Dening. who saw the complainant some days after the alleged beating, stated that at that time Barber had a broken nose, a black eye and was badly bruised about the body. Barber, he said, told him he had complained to the police aiiout certain nuisances in connection with Cooke, but had been unablo to get uny satisfaction. In Minion On Sunday morning, li Chulmers church.

Because they are still officially in the dark as to the nature of the charges preferred against some of their members tho school trustees, according to a statement made by Chairman J. R. Seymour to a World reporter, do not know what course to pursue, Mr. Seymour reiterating that common courtesy would have decreed that the mayor of the city should not have treated in such a manner members a responsible body who were elected by the city and not by any one particular ward. The first official notification they had received, if it could be called official, said Mr.

Seymour, was the statement made by Trustee Lang and in view of that Building Superintend i ent V. J. Giles had been notified of his suspension. Dr. Lang's statement that he had told the board that Giles had complained of irregularities on the part of members of the board, said the chairman, was not borne out by the Impression of other members at the meeting, for it was generally agreed that he mentioned irregularities in connection with Giles' department a matter that could easily have been dealt with by the board, whether sitting as a board or in committee of the whole.

Had there been charges made by the building superintendent or Trustee Lang against any member of the board there would have been insistence on an Immediate Investigation, for the board would have had no object in stifling a mutter of that kind. He had pointed out to Trustee Lang that they should not have any investigation till there was a full representation of the board, and since these allegations had arisen they had not been able to secure the attendance of sufficient members to constitute a quorum, the rules calling for four votes to be cast to bind the board to any subject, irrespective of the chairman. As soon as a quorum could be got together the whole question would be fully gone into. This was promised to Trustee Lang; but this did not, evidently, satisfy him, because one meeting was called, but he did not attend, and nothing, could be done. If the trustees, concluded Mr.

Seymour, had been approached in a proper, gentlemanly manner, as they should have been, not only he, but every member of the board would have insisted on a government investigation.

This order Is signed by Mrs. Margaret Mills, who is in charge at the depot.

Could Not Ainrml Charge When counsel for the prosecution failed to make the charge of robbery preferred against Hazara. Eair Singh and Kishen Singh, who were alleged to have beaten up a countryman and stolen $40 from him, stick, he asked thru Magistrate Shaw amend the charge to read assault. His worship, however, pointed out that he could not do this, counsel having the privilege of laying a second charge if he wished. The parties to the charge appeared ut (he opening of tho case lo be ready to let bygones be bygones and withdraw the charge, the dismissal of the case by his worship having the same effect.

ME FEB. CAKES WERE CHAKiEJ3L TO THAT FER 000 NAU EQUAL SUFFRAGE A GREAT BENEFIT Mrs. Pankhurst is Guest of Honor at Luncheon of Political Equality League. sV aking to tho Pioneer Political Equality League at luncheon today at the Hotel Vancouver, Mrs. Tank hurst paid a glorious tribute to the work and spirit of the men and women the Empire which, she said, were going to keep the Kmpire where it was.

She also spoke in terms of. commendation of the magnificent fortitude of the Canadian in the prosecution of their arduous duties at the front. Before the speaker of the day was presented to the large and fashionable audience, all present, at the request of the president, stood for a moment in honor of the memory of Lord Kitchener. It was a great pleasure to her, said Mrs. Pankhurst, to see so many people of her own race under the auspices of a women's organization.

It was true that they in Great Britain had had from the beginning of the war an absolute political truce, in which not only the womeji, but the men, had been engaged. It was ugreed at the beginning of the war that all political questions and all legislation, should be suspended until the war was at an end and victory was assured. Over here, apparently, they had had no such truce, for anyone coming to the country could see that politics were going on as usual. Therefore the women of Canada were not quite in the' same position as the women of Great Britain. They first set the example of a truce, and that truce had been more or less faithfully fulfilled by the men.

so the women had felt it to be their duty to keep it to the very end. They had realized the absolute need of the concentration of the whole of the people for war purposes, but here, no matter what might happen in tho future, politics to a large extent, both party and otherwise, were going on. They were having changes in legislation. That being so the women felt justified in following the example of their brothers, ami in taking advan tuge of the readiness of the men to legislate for women topush forward the movement of their own, which, in her opinion, was going to be of incalculable benefit to Canada and to the whole of the Kmpire. She expressed the hope that the movement which had already secured victory in some provinces would very soon spread to the whole of the Dominion, and that the men and the women together would make of this country a more perfect democracy than even before the end of the war.

The rest of an inspiriting address was devoted to the noble work being done by both the men and the women of the Kmpire, a work which had renewed, their faith in the men. The war, she said, had come as a great regenerating force, although the price they had had to pay had been terrible. She also expressed the feeling of appreciation of the Motherland at the devotion of the dominions and particularly Canada in sending their sons and daughters to do dangerous work at the front. FKASF.lt VAM.F.V MUIKET TO OP F.N' In establishing this market the aim of the management will be to make It the most up to date public market on the coast. For a whole week a laigo force of workmen have been working night and day renovating the building, fixing up stalls, which have been arranged In spacious alleys so as to eliminate crowding and make it a comfortable place to shop.

In speaking to one of tho energetic managers yesterday, ho said: "We intend to make tills market a real benefit to the public by bringing local producers into closer touch with the public. Free stalls have been arranged for farmers to encourage them to bring in their meat and produce and sell it direct to the public, thus eliminating the middleman and saving his profit, thereby benefiting the peoplo in a large measure." The public can depend upon everything sold in tins market being of first class quality and the prices will be the most reasonable In the city. Come and do your weekend shopping here and you will be more than satisfied. British Papers Arrive A large British newspaper and parcel post mall via the S.S.

Justice Gregory Sentences Ih Lsoners Who Were Convicted at the Recent Assizes. MARY OLE GETS EIGHT YEARS FOR MURDER Crown Prosecutor Complimented on His Excellent Work. Five prisoners, convicted of various crimes in tho assizes, came before I Mr. Justice Gregory this morning for sentence. Kit Smiljamich, a Servian, convict ed of wounding an Austrian with in tent to do grievous bodily harm, was given four years in the penitentiary, the time which he has spent In prison since his arrest to count on the sentence.

The crime on which this prisoner was convicted, it will be remembered, was the result of a drunken carousal in which a number of foreigners were engaged in a shack in the Fast Knd. The accused, during the evening, called lor cheers for the Allies. The Austrian took exception to this and the men went outside to settle the question. During the struggle which then took place the Austrian received serious wounds. Italian Sentenced.

Frank Tutino, convicted of wounding with intent to kill a half breed woman, was given four years and six months in the penitentiary. Mr. Parkes, who acted ut the trial for the prisoner, also made a pica on behalf of the client, but his lordship said that he considered the crime of this man an even more serious one than the other, in that It had apparently been committed in revenge for the refusal of the woman to continue the illicit relations which had existed between the pair. The defence of an alibi put in at the trial, he considered was ridiculous, and had not been sustained at all. Kehar Singh, a Hindoo, convicted of an attempt to commit an act of indecency, was remanded for sentence, on a plea made by Mr.

George K. McCrossan, the prisoner's counsel, that there were circumstances in connection with the case which should be investigated before sentence was passed. Lum Guin Hip, the Chinaman convicted of wounding with intent to disfigure the white wife of a compatriot, was sentenced to five years in prison. Eight Years for Woman. Mr.

Frank Lyons made a pica on behalf of the Indian woman, Mary Cole, who was convicted on Tuesday of manslaughter in connection with the deathcr of her foster sister, Rosie Wilson. He had consulted with his client, and the only thing she wanted to say was that since her arrest she had been treated very kindly by everyone who hud had anything to do with the case. She wished particularly to thank members of the Salvation Army, who had shown every kindness to her and given her every help. His lordship felt that the crime was a very vicious one, and that In sentencing the woman to eight years in the penitentiary he was not exceeding his duty. Mr.

Justice Gregory, In commenting on the work of Mr. W. K. Burns, who had acted for the crown throughout the assizes, said he wished to compliment him on his excellent work. Some complaint had bu made in connection with one case, but ho wished to state that, in his opinion, there was not the slightest ground for it.

He had never in all his experience seen cases handled by the crown with greater fairness or consideration for the other side. CAMP AT VERNON IS ABOUT READY Col.

At the meeting of the council of the Board of Trade Thursday afternoon a letter was received from the Winnipeg board suggesting that the Vancouver board endorse their resolution that a movement be inaugurated throughout Canada to secure an amendment to the naturalization act so as to require that subjects of sovereigns or governments in whose countries the law obtains that a subject may not renounce his allegiance or change his citizenship should not be allowed the right to vote in Canada until such time as such governments concede formally the full right of their subjects to change their na cionality and waive all further claims upon such subjects. The matter was referred to the full board for consideration. Mr.

J. Hanbury drew the attention of the council to what he considered the unsatisfactory filling in of the False Creek reclamation flats. He pointed out also that it is rumored that a railway survey is to bo made over the front of the lots on the south shore, between the part reclaimed and Main Street, and that altogether the thing appeared to be unbusinesslike and unsatisfactory as far as the public interests were concerned. The matter was referred to the harbor and navigation committee with the suggestion that they first deal with the Vancouver Harbor Commission before treating with Ottawa on the matter. Mr.

Coleman, general manager of the western lines of the C. P. who was In attendance as a guest of the council, pointed out that while the Kettle Valley line would be In operation during the latter part of July, it was a little early to arrange any excursion over the road. Mr. Robert Kelly has resigned from the council, owing to his inability to attend meetings regularly, and Mr.

B. W. Greer was appointed to the vacancy. A letter was received from the Vancouver Chamber of Mines asking that the board reconsider decision not to give further financial aid to that body. The matter was referred to the secretary and president with power to act, with a resolution carrying the suggestion that if possible it would be advisable to not allow the chamber to go out of existence through lack of support.

A resolution of condolence was pased, to lie forwarded to the widow of James H. Hill. PREMIER ADDRESSED PORT ALBERNI AUDIENCE Deals With Matter of Government $10,000,000 Loan lie fore Large Audience. AI.UF.RN1. June 9.
