FIELDING CASE
WILL co To THE
SUPREME COURT

Halifax, ". S., Aug. 2s.--Attorneys rer-
resenting those who petitioned tho SUI
prone court for the disqualification Of
Hon. w. s. Fielding. finance minister in
the Canadian government, have filed a
notice OF appeal TO the supreme court OF
Canada from the decision of the Nova
Scotia supreme court I'm disn3sing per-
soral charges of corruption against the
minister
Mr.. Fielding was recently unseated as
member OF parliament for the Queens
Shelburne district on the ground that his
agents in the last general election were
suilty OF using money illegally.
Charges that Minister Fielding had
committed wrongful acts were dismissed
by the court. The penalty attaching TO
the commission Of corrupt acts by a can
c'date for parliament is disqualification
from holding office for seven years and
from voting within that period. 1t will
probably be several months before the
appeal can be heard by the supreme court
of Canada.
II is expected that a new election will
be ordered in Queens -Shelburne shortly
and that Fielding will be a candidate for
reelection.

SEE A SINISTER
PURPOSE BACK
OF GARY PLAN

East Side taxpayers are discussing with
no little dspleasure the new attempt on
the part OF some one to make null and
void the efforts TO secure a city-owned
tunnel TO be leased to the Rhode Island
company.
They claim that the purpose of those
who are again advocating the Cary plan
is either to scare off the Rhode Island
company for the benefit of the builders
or the other tunnel. or so 10 muddle the
affair that the whole subject shall be
dropped until after the election.
Some claim that the presentation OF the
Cary plan was made by those who had
a purpose In doing so because by the
other plan the Consolidated railroad and
city tunnels would cross one over the
other. and where the two crossed the
work would have to be more costly
The tunnel 20 be used by the Rhode ISL
and company being above the New Haven
road tunnel. there will be a necessity for
better construction. while the Cary tunnel
plan would throw the city tunnel under
the college grounds
There are many East Siders as we'll as
those directly interested In Brown Univer-
sity. who would object seriously 10 having
the back campus torn up for an entrance
TO the tunnel. also from the belief that
the entrance should be between the two
car lines and not at either side.
Those who object 10 the Cary plan have
rot been able TO discover just what mo-
tives are behind the Cary plan; but they
express their dlsapproval in no mild terms
OF any change from the plan as advocated
by G.. Richmond Parsons and Alfred
Stone. and 10 an extent endorsed by the
Rhode Island company

HILL GETS SOUTHERN ROAD
NEW PRESIDENT CHOSEN FOR
THE MISSOURI, KANSAS
AND TEXAS.

New, York, Nov. ;2S.-The election of
Adrian H. Joline as president of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas company
to succeed F. NJ. Finney, resigned, is
generally regarded as step toward
the turning over of the old Rockefel-
Ter property to James j. Hill and the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail-
road. Following Mr.. Joline's election
James N. Wallace and J. G. Metcalf
were elected directors and members
of the executive committee.
Mr.. Joiine is not closely identified
with Mr.. Hill or his properties, but
both he and Mr.. Wallace represent the
Central Trust company interests,
which have been very strongly identi-
fed with Missouri, Kansas and Texas
interests since the Speyers became in
terested in the road. ]. G.. Metcalf
represents the Speyer interests on the
board. 1t is believed that the officers
have been merely elected to conduct
the roads financial affairs until the
new control, whatever it may be, as
serts itself.
The recent activity and strength of
both the common and preferred stocks
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas in
the market have been accompanied by
revival of the old rumors that con-
troll of the property is being sought or
has already been acquired in the in
terests of the Hill railroads.

tion into the real facts. From the iE-
