The Mission conference which has

ments to cost $2,973.30. Subscriptions
taken up last year were $1,524.50. After
the dedication service subscription of
S922.45 was taken. At this time DR.. j.
D. Countermine made a thirty minute
talk, which was highly appreciated,
and must have been one of his best.
DR.. Countermine also put the people in
good spirits, by raising the subscription
of a young lady, formerly the family

by wish to express our hearty thanks
to all subscribers and to our American
friends who subscribed so literally last
year. PETER PERSON, Pastor.

London Church

. London, Sept 25.-At an intercession
service in behalf of the people of Mace
donia held in one of the city churches
today, Canon Maccoll described the

deprived of the elementary right of hui
mainly.
Germany, Austria and Russia" he
said, are giving a free hand to the sui
tan because they have agreed to partition
off Turkey in Europe. Austria is to have
protectorate over Servia. with half of
Macedonia down to Salonica- Russia
will get the other half of Macedonia,
with a protectorate over Bulgaria, while
Germany will get slice of Asiatic Tur-
key and the port of Salonica. When all
the Christians have been massacred this
triumvirate will establish a commercial
zollverein and keep out British trade
Canon Maccoll urged immediate Brit
ish action, believing other powers would
be compelled to follow suit.

Discussion of Alaskan Boundary
Controversy Continues.

London Sept 25.-David T. Watson,
of Pfttsburg, of counsel for the Ameri-
can side continued at todays session of
the Alaskan boundary commission his
analy of the treaty of 1925.
Alexander Begg. the unofficial repre-

commission today to give an answer to
his application to be heard. which he
denied. He roundly denounced the ac
ton of Great Britain in running a line
through Portland channel instead of
north, up Clarence Strait to the 56th de-
gree, the effect of which was to leave a
large stretch of territory indisputably
in American possession.

IT WASN'T A ROBBERY.
Lyon Case Ends in Thin Air
Today.

Lyon Case Ends in Thin Air
Today.
The police have just dropped a rob
berry" case, which assayed 10000 to the
ton. A few days ago a man named
j. H. Lyon. of 1926 Lawrence street,
complained that be had been robbed of
81, 400. His step-son, A. Z. Stone, was
suspected. The police took up the case,
and Detectives Lucas and Gardiner
who were assigned to it looked around
a little more before making any hasty
arrests, and came to the conclusion that
it was a case where police Intervention
was uncalled for. 1t seems that Lyon
recently married a Mrs. Stone, after
finding her through a matrimonial
bureau. Mrs. Lyon has a son, about
20 years of age, who is the victim.
Lyon claimed that the money had been
stolen from under his pillow while he
slept, and he was sure that the step
son was guilty. The information re-
ceived from all parties was unsatis-
factory. Yesterday Lyon received $3.50
in bills through the mail, accompanied
by no explana ton. Then other police
officers got into the game and arrested
young Stone. He was kept over night
and this morning turned loose. The
officers who originally took the case had
made no effort to arrest young Stone,
for a good reason. They had discover
ed that it was a family affair, and the
money really belonged to Mrs. Lyon,
the boys mother, and that, suspecting
her husband of having intentions of
running away and leaving her-WeH,
the money disappeared.
