change. and prominent in riding and
driving circles, was found dead today
in his bedroom at his residence, 80 West

ty was lying on the floor in such posi-
ton that Coroner Hamburger said a

before he will express an opinion as to
whether it was a case of suicide. The
only persons known to be in the house
at the time the body was found, We're
Mrs Casper and two servants. All
declare they heard no shot fired.
The only motive for the suicide, if il
develops that the aged man killed him

have been in very comfortable circum

There seems to be but little doubt that
the show will be held in Brunswick next
year instead OF Freeport the Ere=a- in

ing overcrowded the Town hall in this
place and making it imperative for the
association to seek larger quarters. In
Brunswick either the Town hall or the

places in the near future. The annual

TOO MANY ASIATiCS
irmigratins to Her Colonies Is De-
cision Of Great Britain.

London, Jan. 2.-England is expert
encins an almost startling awakening
to the grave problems caused by the
immigration of Asiatics TO her white
colonies. The principal political topic
for 4 week past has been the situation
in the Transvaal. where several thou
sand Indians and Chinese were given
the alternative of submitting to what
they consider u degrading system Of
registration. or Of being imprisoned
and expelled.
The reports of further racial rioting
at Vancouver come at 4 particularly
inopportune time on account of the
negotiations now under way between
Canada and Japan and they are very
annoying to the British government.
The latest outbreak IN Canada may
impede the efforts OF the Japanese
government to conclude friendly ar
rangements with America and Canada.
1t Is recognized that the question is
more serious for Great Britain than
for America, because the Indians are
British subjects and the japanese are
Grear Britain's allies. The Transvaal
has temporarily refrained from taking
measures against those Indians who
have refused to register, other than to
decline to renew the traders licenses
all CT which expired December 81. It
is proposed, however, to execute the
law in 4 few days.
Two thousand Indians met recently
in Johannesburg ard voted to refuse
to submit to the law.
Prominent Indians in England pre-
dict a weakening of the loyalty of the
Indian empire.
