Quebec. Ottawa. and Toronto is, after all. on narrow belt, which can never rival It's neign- bors across the border in population or wealth. British Columbia Is a slow advancing frontier province, which will need fifty years to develop 70 ths point already reached by the state or Washington. But the groat interior. which until very recently was suppos- cd to be an inhospitable land, appears capable of support as numerous 2 pop uIation as the belt in tha-United states south of the border. The area thus opening up for settlement IS consla- cred ably larger than that between the Mississippi and Missouri rlVers, ana within a quarter of century may well contain 1O.000,oO0 people. with room for many more.

INNING FOR DEFENSE
WITNESS CREATES 4 SENSATION
 AT DAVIS TRIAL.
Mrs, Emily Allen Tells Jury She Saw Mra. Abbe Rice on Streets Early
 in lforning Buying
 NaWanawer.

Omaha Neb.. Dec. 1.-The defense had an inning today in the trial or Charles Edward Davis for the murder of pr. Frederick T. Rustin. and cre- ated sensation by producing Q wit- ness in the person of Mrs. Emily Ale len, who testified to having seen Mrs. Abbie Rice on the street about 1 o'clock in the morning buying 2 paper, tune at which, according to several Wit- nesses for the prosecution. she was at the public house of Clara Gleason.
 Mrs. Allen told remarkable story show that she was able te fix the time of each event which bronght her into contact with Mrs. Rice.
 T had been to Lincoln," Mrs. Allen said, "and got back on Rock Island train just before o'clock. took cab and started for home, intending to stop at the dress making parlors of Mrs. Lovett at Fifteenth and Har- ney, The coachman9 who drove me to Mrs. Lovett's did not waitNfor me and [ was therefore compelled to walk home, a distance Of ten blocks. started at approximately 1 o'clock and when I reached a point near Sixteenth and Farnam Streets, met Mrs. Rice, who had stopped two newsboys to buy a paper. watched her for some time as she walked down Farnaln Street and stopped under an electric light and eagerly scanned the paper. I had seen her many times before with Dr. Rustin and always supposed she was his wife.
 'I went directly home and did not get up until Il o'clock. heard news boys calling Extra about Dr. Rus tins suicide and said to a neighbor, I saw Mrs. Rustin downtown when I came up the street and she was almost frantic.' It was Mrs. Rice saw but I presumed she was Rustin's wife un- til I learned differently later"
 All the way through. the prosecution has introduced witnesses to show that Mrs. Rice that night got on car at FortIeth and Farnum Streets at 11:30 and went directly to her room at Clara gleason's where she remained until next day, Mrs. Aliens evidence was no less a surprise to MT. English than to others who have listened to the tes- timony presented by the persecution. On cross examination. Mfr. English showed that some person, who Mrs. Allen believed wished to keep her tes- tinony out of the case called her on the telephone and said: You are a great big bag of hot afr and you bet | ter keep your nose out Of this case. !" Mrs. Allen declared she had never met the attorneys for the defense un- | til two hours before she was called to give her testimony and had only been persuaded to tell what she knew by her son, who said she ought to give l her evidence.
 pr. Matthews saw and talked to a man on Farnam Street similar in ap- pearance to the man whom witnesses | for the State described as Davis, and | said he was close enough to the man who was intoxicated, to say it was not Davis at all.
 The case was adjourned early, as the State was not prepared to prevent its | rebuttal.

AWARD OF COMMISSION TO MONT GOMERY.
If Cleveland is to Get Pitcher They Must Pay President Chambers s1y00o for Him--Letter
 Sent.

The clear title of the Montgomery club to Lively was finally settled yes terday morning in letter that Pres ident Chambers received from the Ma tional Commission. This Supreme Court of baseball went into the mat ter thoroughly last Friday and after weighing the evidence decided that Montgomery had legal right to tho pitcher.
 On account of the mistake that Cleveland made in drafting the player from Gulfport instead of Montgomery. the commission decided that the Maps could still draft Lively from Mont gomery. but if they wanted him they would have to pay the Class A draft price of s1.000,. Instead of the Cotton States draft price of $500.
 They have auntil about the last of February, 1909. to draft Lively. from Montgomery if they want him. but 1t is hardly probable that Lajoie wants him badly egongh to cough up the
