THE VANCOUVER WOKLU Thursday, June 15, 1916. 12 MUNICIPALITY NEW WESTMINSTER 1 WILL SUPPORT WOMAN'S SIDE NEW CANDIDATES IN CAPITAL CITY Eye Witness oi Naval Engagement Off Falklands Tells Story of Fight Captain Eagles, Who Was a Prisoner on Board the Seydlitz, Has Arrived in City Germans Intended to Seize British Possessions Had Much Captured British Gold on Board. BIG MAJORITY FOR SATURDAY litz, saying, "We're done for." She sunk in two minutes with every soul on board. Just prior to this. Admiral Sturdce had signalled the Scharnhorst, asking them to lower their flag so that he might save the crew from destruction.

No reply was received und the ship continued to fight gallantly until she sank. Tho Scharnhorst went down with In English gold which she had taken from captured English ships. "She lies in 200 fathoms of water and If anyone wants to get rich quick, they can dive through that 1200 feet of water," suld Captain Eagles, with a twinkle in his eye. Any Money? The first question which was asked Captain Eagles when he stepped aboard the German vessel after his ship was captured was, "Havo yon any money?" "Yes, I have," replied Captain Eagles. "How much?" "About 40 cents," was the reply, and tho Germans laughed heartily.

The Germans had been very successful in gathering English gold together, but none of it got back to Germany. According to the captain, the pressure of the water will probably have flattened it out like a pancake by this time. President Hayward of Victoria Conservatives Certain of Place on Ticket at Elections. MR. A.

C. FLUMERFELT MAY ACCEPT NOMINATION Late Members for Capital City Will Retire From the Field. World's Special Sort loo. VICTORIA. B.

June 15. Five names arc being mentioned prominently in connection with the four Conservative nominations in the city of Victoria, and two other men are spoken of as possibilities. Not one of the lute three Conservative members will stand for re election, and Sir Richard McBride's former seat is now occupied by the Liberal leader. The task of the Victoria Conservatives in selecting four strong, new men is. therefore, no small one as the last recorded vote of the constituency was emphatically Liberal.

Sir. Flumerfclt in Held Again. Reginald Hayward, president of the Conservative Association, is practically a certainty on the ticket, while Mr. A. C.

Flumerfelt, If he will stand, is also greatly desired by the Conservative Association. Mr. Flumerfelt was defeated in the by election, when he stood as minister of finance, but tiie Conservatives feel that he would Btlll be a great strength to their ticket on account of his eminent position in the world of finance, director of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, etc. His defeat in March, the party attributes to the popular desire for an opposition in the legislature and the government supporters claim that the work of that opposition had a tendency to strengthen confidence in the administration. The vacant cabinet position is almost certain to be filled by a Victoria candidate, and there is a likelihood of Mr.

Flumerfelt once more being chosen for the portfolio of finance. Dr. Tolmic a Possibility. The mention of another prominent man as a candidate In Victoria is what creates doubt on this point, however. Dr.

Tolmle, one of the best known live stock men in Canada, is a very strong possibility as a candi date and if he runs it is held by many to be almost certain that he will have the portfolio of agriculture. Dr. Tolmie, like Mr. Hayward, is a native son of the city, and is known by almost every agriculturist in the province on account of his connection with the Agricultural Association at Victoria, and especially through his position as Dominion Live Stock Commissioner for British Columbia. His appointment to that portfolio would mean a readjustment of the cabinet, but a redistribution of one or two portfolios could be arranged by Premier Bowser, it is said, without great Inconvenience and without losing any of the present members of the council.

In the event of Dr. Tolmie and Mr. Flumerfelt both running there remains only one other nomination to be filled. The names of R. W.

Perry, manager of the Great West Permanent Loan and W. C. Moresby, another native son, have many supporters. Should either Mr. Flumerfelt or Dr.

Tolmie decide not to go before the convention both men are considered certainties for the ticket. Mr. Moresby is a barrister and was crown prosecutor at the recent assizes. Other names which will probably go before the convention are those of Aid. Dilworth and William Blake more.

Each has a considerable following. The convention will probably be called to take place in the first week of July. CANADIAN BAR ASSOCIATION TORONTO, June 15. The annual meeting of the Canadian Bar Association opened this morning. The Dominion, from the east to the west, will be strongly represented.

Sir James Aikens of Winnipeg, the president of the association, arrived from the west accompanied by majy well known members of the JUST KIDSIVs Captain J. S. Eagles, skipper of the four m.isted schooner Golden State, arrived in port yesterday and brings the first eye witness story of the great naval buttle off the Falklund Islands, in which Admiral Sturdoo with five British ships defeated a German squadron of eight ships, under von Spee, sinking four, capturing two, und allowing two to escape. Theso two were sunk later. Captain Eagles, who Is a fine type of sailing muster, brought his schoon best of treatment from the officers of in ballast.

The last ship which he commanded, the Drummuir, was a four musted schooner registered at Victoria, B. C. She was captured by tho Leipzie on December 2, 1914, and was sunk on December 6, after she had been stripped of her fittings, coul and cargo. Captain Eagles was taken on board the Seydlitz from the decks of which he saw his splendid vessel sent to the bottom. Was Well Treated.

Captain Eugles received the very there is a big coal pile which will be the German vessel. He was assured that hLs personal effects would be sacred. The first night he locked his door. The next day the Germans Bent carpenters aboard and took the door off the hinges. He laid his fountain pen on the table for a moment while he lit his pipe.

When he turned back to the table some cne had stolen the pen. Some one took Ills boots and left a very much worn pair in their place. After that the captain slept in his clothes. Headed for Falkland. The fleet headed for the Falkland Islands, very much to Captain Eagles' surprise.

"You'ro not going up to the Falklands, are you?" he asked the German captain. "There's nothing there that can stop us," was the reply, "and besides there is a big pile which will be very very acceptable." The fleet continued on its way. At 6 o'clock on the morning of the battle, Captain Eagles came on deck and saw the misty outlines of the Islands. The fleet was steaming in three lines, with two vessels in the first line, three vessels one mllo astern and the two colliers in the rear. KriliMi Fleet Apicnis.

About 10 o'clock a faint smudge of black smoke appeared on the horizon. "You're going to have to fight for that coal said Captain Eagles, grimly to the German commander. The German fleet continued its course. Presently another ominous black smudge appeared. Then another and another until there were five of those prophetic clouds along the horizon, moving forward from the direction of Port Stanley.

Then the German fleet suddenly swerved and began to run. Immediately the distant black clouds took on enormous proportions and tho British fleet leaped forward in pursuit of the German squadron. Presently the funnels of tho British ships were raised, then their deck houses were plainly visible. The engines of the German ships were racing hs they had never raced before, but tho lean grey hounds which followed gained with amazing speed. For three and a half hours the chase continued.

Then, at a distance of five miles, the first shot was fired from the foremost of the pursuers. "It was a single ship action," said Captain Eagles, his face lighting with the pleasuro of recollection. "Each British ship sank a German ship. The Invincible sank the Scharnhorst. The Inflexible sank the Gneisenau.

The Glasgow put the Leipzie out of action in 22 minutes and the Kent sank the Nuremberg. Two ships were captured and two, the Dresden and the Seydlitz, escaped." Sank Dresden. The Dresden was sunk by the Kent nnd the Glasgow In March, 1315. She had taken refuge in neutral waters off Chilean shore and refused to come out. The captain of the Dresden warned the Chilean authorities that if the Liresden were not Interned, he would enter the neutral zone and sink her.

She was not Interned, so the Glasgow ran In and riddled her with shells. No Surrender. During the Falkland Island action, the Scharnhorst wirelessed the Seyd WANT LICENCE FEES REDUCED Port Coquitlam Hotel Keepers Ask Commissioners to Reduce the Fee for Licence. PORT COQUITLAM, June 13.

Should his health permit, the doctor proposes return to the A. M. t. when his leave expires. Most of the doctor's time was spent at the base hospital in Alexandria, where the wounded were principally British, the Australian troops having their own hospital at Cairo.

Dr. Lambert confirms frcvious report as tr the Turk being regarded bv the Britisher as a clean fighter, nd thev evince none of the animosity in discussing the Turk as Is shown wUen the Germans are mentioned.

Lee Man, alleged keeper of gambling joints, whose appeal from a recent conviction by the police magistrate has been postponed until June Is once more on the Insido of a prison, looking out.

Thereby hangs a tale. Lee, after being fined $300 or given the option of six months' Imprisonment last May, preferred to serve the sentence, but after being incarcerated a days secured his release by, advancing certain bail monies pending "ah appeal. It now appears that the proper legal proceedings were not undertaken in the release of Lee, and the city police thereupon waited upon him, following Judge Howay's renewal of the bail bonds, and intimated that lie must adopt a policy of watchful waiting, from behind the doors guarded so carefully by Warden Turnbull. In other words. Lee's counsel apparently failed to obtain a writ of certiorari, and while Lee was enjoying his freedom for the past few weeks in fact, according to the strict Interpretation of the law, he still confined to prison.

A. M. Sanford. The presence of a number of ex students who have joined the colors and who attended in khaki added a dash of color to the scene, which will live long In the memory of those privileged to attend.

R. Itrnwa. North Shore Candidates Go on Record Favoring Referen dum Women Make strong Appeal. NORTH VANCOUVER, June 10. A zealous and intensely interesting appeal on behalf of Woman's Suffrage was made to a good sized gathering of women with a sprinkling of men, among whom were Mr.

U. H. Mordcn and ex Mayor W. McNcish, both of whom are candidates for this constituency at the next provincial election, by Mrs. Ralph Smith, in the city hall on Wednesday evening.

In response to the appeal made both candidates professed their sympathies with the cause of political equality for women and each, Mr. Morden as mover of the vote of thanks to Mrs. Smith and her colleague, Mr. K. A.

Lucas, president of the Young Conservative Association of Vancouver, and Mr. McNetsh, as seconder of the motion, stated plainly that they would support the cause of woman's suffrage and assist in passing the referendum measure when it comes to the ballot in this province. The chair was occupied by Mrs. J. H.

Gallagher, the president of the local organization. Mr. Lucas, the first speaker, following a few prefatory remarks by the president, briefly outlined the case and means which were being adopted for organization work. He regretted there should be so much rancor in political life and considered problems should be discussed in a purely natlonul spirit. Mrs.

Smith took the men, and especially the lawmakers, to task for not giving women the right of the ballot. It is not, she asserted, Just for the satisfaction of going to the polls along with the men to vote. That Is Just where woman's responsibility begins. It is rather to assist the men In making better laws and to bring to the women and children the justice that is due to them. This is not a new thing, stated the speaker.

The women of this province have been after the government for 13 years for more just laws as relating to women, but, failing in that, it was decided the only other means of obtaining the desired results was by the ballot. Mrs. Smith scored the government severely for forcing the women to the platform to urge their case before the electorate when, if a measure was passed outright the women could continue without interruption their patriotic work for the Empire and the men at the front. In spite of the ridicule to which the women of the Old Country had been subjected, when war was declared they banded together as one great unit and their magnificent work was mainly responsible for the efficiency in caring for the wounded and in other departments here they had taken up men's work they had done gallant service for tho Umpire. The fight for woman's suffrage cannot be Btopped.

"It Is the onward march of democracy," she declared, "and God knows, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, a national clean up is sorely needed." Mrs. Smith spoke aB a woman and a mother. One of her sons was now in the trenches, she said. In her opening remarks Mrs. Smith paid a noble tribute to the nation's late secretary of war.

Earl Kitchener, and she contrasted his command to honor the women and children to the Huns' treatment of the gentler sex. The speaker, in appealing for the male vote on election day. did not take this as any humiliation on the part of the woman. Any fair minded, sober, thinking man will acknowledge that women have brains, hands and feet, as well as the men, and they are just as capable of using all three. In the present case, however, It was necessary to appeal to the men for Justice and for the rights of every mother of the land.

Will Knforcc Liquor Laws. In the city of North Vancouver, upon receipt of the new amendment to the Liquor Act, the new regulations as to the time of opening and closing of bars will come into effect. Some surprise was expressed by Commissioner Wright that the new law which became effective on the 8th of this month had not been enforced yet. but Licence Inspector Davics explained that he had not received a copy of the act. The city clerk was instructed to wire at once to Victoria for this.

Renewals of licences were granted to tho Hotel Vancouver, the Palace and the St. Alice hotels. The question of licensing poolrooms in hotels was brought up but It was decided this was a matterfall ing under the jurisdiction of the city council. In respect to the new licence regulations, the clerk was Instructed to bring them to the attention of the city council, with the request that they be Incorporated In the city bylaws. It was the opinion of Mayor Hanes thut the North Vancouver Club should be Included in the new law.

R. V. Klcfts Officers. Very pleasant were the ceremonies attending the annual installation of officers of the Knights of Pythias Lodgo in the K. P.

hall on Tuesduy evening. The first part of tho evening was devoted to the business part of the session, and this concluded, the members odjourned to the banquet hall, where refreshments were enjoyed. The officers installed for the ensuing year were: C.C., G. H. Morden; V.

HALF HOLIDAY IN VICTORIA )Vorld's Special Service) VICTORIA, 13. June 15. When the result of the polling became known last night Mr. Dan Poupar and his numerous fellow workers in behalf of Saturday held a motor parade through the city streets to celebrate their victory. The final ftg ures were: Saturday, 1S53; Wednes day, 1183, giving a majority of 670.

There were 25 spoiled ballots, some having the word "No" written opposite both days as an expression of total disapproval of the half holiday Idea. Royal City Goes on Record for Week End Half Holiday by Majority of Five to One. NEW WESTMINSTER, June 15. As was generally predicted the majority of votes on the half holiday question in favor of Saturday was quite emphatic when the votes were linally tabulated last night and the retail clerks, who worked so strenuously to this end are highly elated this morning, not so much tr the sweeping victory here as to know that the same day was selected by tho ciy of Vancouver. The actual corrected poll yesterday was 1046 for Saturday and 191 for Wednesday, a majority of over five to one.

The opposition to Saturday was practically a negligible quantity here, as the small vote shows, and the proponents of the midweek day did not come out actively in favor of their choice, but conducted their campaign very silently. The total vote was much larger than expected, us a very large number of local people took advantage of the holiday to hie themselves to the nearby beaches or In preparing their summer camps. The retail clerks were busy from morning to night, however, and that such a big vote as polled on the issue is largely duo to their untlrln efforts. Pickets were stationed at uie doors of all booths and very few voters ran the gauntlet of clerks without giving a promise to vote for Saturday. Those who had the temerity to declare for Wednesday were roundly, albeit good naturedly abused, and if the voter did not see the error of his way and mark a cross opposite Saturday, it was not for lack of forcible arguments being advanced to him.

With few exceptions the merchants and business men are well pleased at the result, their only fear in choosing Saturday vanishing into thin air when the result of the voting in Vancouver was made known to them. One local merchant refused to close his doors yesterday at all, and openly avows his intention to keep open on Saturday afternoon, after the measure becomes operative. He was forced to submit to considerable heckling yesterday. OPPOSITION TO PROHIBITION BILL Royal City Trades and Labor Council Passes Resolution in Support of the Antis. NEW WESTMINSTER.

June 15. Led by Past President Knute Knud sen, of the Clgarmakers" Union, the Trades and Labor Council last night passed resolution as unalterably opposed to tho proposed Prohibition bill from an economic and social standpoint. Their decision will be reported broadcast to the various affiliated unions throughout the prov ince. Usually there Is barely a baker's dozen of delegates on hand at the semi monthly sessions of the local laborltes, and last night's meeting was no exception. Always there is a strong representation from the Clgarmakers' and Bartenders' unions at these meetings, and as they have practically controlled the deliberations of the council when put to an actual vote for months past, it is easily apparent how such a resolution passed.

Mr. Knudsen came out flatfooted as being opposed to Prohibition in any form whatever. He said such a measure would completely destroy one union and do very grave injury to three or four others. He advised a straight vote against Prohibition without any qualification. Secretary W.

Yates said he could not favor such a suggestion as he was in favor of Prohibition which would be real Prohibition, within the meaning of the word, and not a bill which simply transferred the business from one body of Individuals to another as it seemed to him the proposed legislation for B. C. was designed. He held that there was not a real Prohibition measure extant in the States or Canada. Prohibition to be complete and effective must prohibit the manufacture of intoxicants.

Vice President Chapman, of the Bartenders' local, dwelt upon the injury such an act would do to certain unions and upon the fart that liquor seemed to be a necessary refreshment to the soldiers in the trenches. Mr. Knudsen renewed his solicitations for a straight negative vote on the question, but following a desultory discussion, the resolution passed as above unanimously. CALL FOR NEW TENDERS Advance in Cost of Steel Necessitates Change in Plans. MAILLARDVILLE, June 15.

Yesterday the council decided to call for fresh tenders for the cost of installation of the water scheme for this village. This stop wan deemed necessary because of the advance In the cost of steel pipe since the submission of the original estimates of cost by Burnaby's engineer. A communication was also received from the Toronto firm which purchased the water bonds at a figure of 88 suggesting that a slight alteration in the bylaw would be necessary before the deal would be finally ratified. The letter was referred to the municipal solicitor. The date for the annual court of revision was set for Monday next at 10 o'clock In the morning.

Acting Reeve Philp will preside und the bul ancc of the council will attend. ANNIVERSARY SERVICE Special Services in West Vancouver Methodist Church. HOLLY BERN, June 15. The West Vancouver Methodist church will hold Its anniversary services on Sunday at 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m.
