Ralph B. Hooker was in Montreal re-
Gently in the interests of O. V Hooker s.
Son. Arrangements were made for the
manufacture Of their Thompson i'm
proved spark extinguisher in Canada
and branch Office was opened at 337
Craig street, west. This machine has
just received the endorsement of several
insurance companies who are granting
a reduction in premium where it is used
in connection with steam woodworkers.
With this additional endorsement of its
merits great demand has been created
both in the states and in Canada, which
has necessitated a Canadian branch to
better handle that trade and to save the
heavy duty. Inquiries and orders are
being received daily and arrangements
are being made for manufacture on a
very large scale at both Montreal and
here.

fire which started on West Mai,

The injured:
John L. Rogers, chief of the Flor

in several places just above the
ankle; bad cut on the head which re-
quired twenty stitches.
AL Willis, right leg cut, hands and
face burned and body bruised.
Buildings destroyed:
The Triangle brick block.

The loss to the buildings is esti.
mated at about $8, 900, although they
were hardly worth that amount Of
money, owing to their unkept con.
dition, but they could not be replaced
for less than $s, 900 under present
conditions of labor and the lumber
and brick market
The fire originated in the building
occupied by the band but the origin
of the blaze is not known, as the
musicians did not hold practice last
night. The burst of fire WAS almost
instantaneous, the blazes apparently
shooting out from the front and the
rear OF the building at the same
time. The wind was blowing from

RELIGIOUS FANATICS
Practice Free Love and |
Live in Herds.


TORONTO, Ont, April s.-An ex-
haustive investigation Of the mode
of life of the Doukhobors. the Rus
sian religious fanatics who have set
tied in Canada, has been undertaken
and some sensational developments
are expected. 1t is alleged that the
members of the various Doukhobor
colonies practice free love, dozens of
men and women living together in
the same room, and that young girls
are forced at a tender age to adopt
the communistic ideal of marriage.
1t is stated that very few parents at
tempt to care for their own children,
but turn them over to the community
to be provided for from the common
fund Some OF the Doukhobors re-
fuse to bury their dead, believing
that the soul of the deceased would
be unable to escape from the grave.
Corpses are taken to secluded spots
and left to serve as food for the
wolves. Physicians are not allowed
to treat their sick, the leaders declar-
ing that Jesus is with them all the
time and that no human power could
serve to avert the fate of one who is
called"
At Fort William, Ontario, the
members of an investigating commit
tee visited a Doukhobor dwelling
which, in their opinion, was large
enough for possibly Is people at the
most, but there they found &c men,
women and children, ranging in age
from 10 to 60 years, lying about the
small rooms, nude and uncovered,
without the slightest regard for de-
cency or common morality.
The committee found that these
people practiced free love, marriage
being unknown to them. The chill
dren born from these promiscuous
unions are cared for out of the COM
mon fund. In this way girls grow up
and become lost to their own parents
at an early age, becoming the free
wives of the rest of the community.
Such conditions we're found to exist
that steps were at once taken to dis
band the commune, and investiga-
lions are being made to determine
whether similar conditions exist
Throughout the Doukhobor villages In
Saskatchewan and Alberta.
