No Jeffries- Johnson Fight Pictures Un'
 der Any Conditions.

A great many people are asking Manager Arnold of the Airdome about the Jeffries-Johnson fight pictures. Mir.

Within fifteen minutes after the final bulletin of the fight had been posted at the Alrdome, he had written a letter cancelllne the order, and it was mailed shortly alter wards.

Opens Fire on Officer.

When Stell saw the officer coming it is charged that he rushed out of the house with revolver and fired at the marshal. The marshal returned the fire but both escaped unharmed.
 Stell fired again, missing his mark the second time, but Seal, standing 100 yards behind the marshal, fell with bullet in his hip.
 Marshal Kyser desisted and returned to the main part of town and called Sheriff Colvin at Warren over the long distance telephone and asked him to come to Banks. The sheriff arrived shortly before midnight and went alone to Stell's home. Stell make no re- sistance and was placed under arrest. He was released today under bond and will be arraigned for preliminary hear ing Tuesday.
 There was great excitment in Banks throughout the day and many threats were made against Stell. In the event of Seals death it is feared that more trouble may develop. Banks was incorporated this year and there was considerable opposition
 to the move. Stell, it is said, is one of the leaders of the element opposing 
 the change from the outset. By req son of the incorporation certain blind tigers in town will be put out of busi- ness and it is charged that certain men opposing the change are affected thereby.
 Stell is about 30 years old, married man with several children, and owns his home in Banks.

Ottawa, Dec. THAT Canada claims
and intends ever to maintain sovereignty
over the waters OF Hudson Bay and
everything north to the pole was made
clear in the speech of the Hon. Mr..
Aylesworth, the minister OF justice, in the
House OF Commons this afternoon.
Mr.. Aylesworth, in reviewing the North
Atlantic fisheries case, recently tried be-
fore The Hague tribunal. spoke OF the
| political conditions relating 20 Hudson
| Bay, especially with reference TO the
United States. After reviewing the ar
guments Of Sir William Robson relating
TO the sovereignty over bays on the North
! American continent Mr.. Aylesworth said:
''rhe whole position internationally in
regard 10 Hudson Bay was excluded.
But I think I may without any impro-
/ priety at this stage say that it was de-
| liberately and designedly excluded from
the consideration of The Hague tribu-
nal. When In Washington, at the time
| this submission TO arbitration was ar
ranged. in January, 1903, We determined
/ in the interest of Canada that any ques-
ton in regard TO the Hudson Bay or
which could seem 10 affect the Hudson
Bay should he excluded, and in the prep
aration OF the case no reference is made
especially 10 Hudson Bay.
Rights Were Excepted.
There was the more ground for taxi
/ ing that position from the circumstance
that in the treaty of 1918, which was
the foundation OF the whole arbitration,
the rights of the Hudson Bay Company
are especially excepted in giving 10 the
United States fishermen an equal privi-.
! lege with British subjects 10 engage in
! fishing upon the treaty coasts. Al
though those coasts may, perhaps. be
said to extend as far as the entrance 10
Hudson Bay, the treaty was careful 10
say without prejudice, however. 10 any
OF the exclusive rights of the Hudson
Bay Company Accordingly. il seemed
to me IL would be better that no ap-
pearanee OF questioning those rights
should IN any way exist
This Parliament has asserted its
rights. We have upon our statute books
the express statement that the waters
of Hudson Bay are the territorial wa
tiers OF Canada J hope that the asser-
ton OF claim and of right on our part
may not be questioned. No one can
foresee the future. II may be that at
some future time a question may be
raised upon this subject
Support for Claims.
our claim is there before the world.
and we shall rest upon that legislation
as an act OF this Parliament, and upon
this decree OF the arbitration court at
The Hague as its support, In maintain
ing our claim to the waters of even
that great inland sea as the territorial
dominion OF his majesty with Canada"
Mr.. Aysleworth's speech lasted for
three hours, and was closely listened to
as being the 1rst authoritative state
ment in the Canadian Parliament or the
firm determination of Canada to control
the waters of Hudson Bay, including it's
valuable whale and other fisheries. -
The Hudson Bay Railway is TO be
constructed by the Canadian govern
ment Immediately. and within two or
three years lines OF steamers will be
carrying grain from the Western prov
inces 10 Europe through those waters
which Canada claims as her own.

Free for Stomach
and Bowels

We are in receipt of letters from
Mrs. Eva Gasldns, 304 Madison ST.,
Topeka, Kans., and Mr.. P. H. Ga
vellas, Wagner, Okla, as well as
many others, telling about the won
derful results they have secured in
the cure of their stomach and liver
troubles by the use of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin.
This remedy. as all readers doubtless
know. has been before the public for a
generation and is now being more ex-
tensively used than any other remedy
for stomach, liver. and bowel COM
plants According to reliable testimony.
1t seems TO be a very quick and lasting
cure for constipation, Indigestion, and
dyspepsia, liver trouble, billiousness,
headaches, sour stomach gas on the
stomach. drowslness after eating. and
similar disorders. 1t is a liquid with
tonic effect, and so mild and gentle In
action that child as well as a grown
person can take It; III fact 1t has no
equal FOR children, women, and old peo-
pie.
It arouses the flow OF gastric Juice,
and by a peculiar action trains the
stomach and bowel muscles to again do
their work naturally. and In time medi-
cines of all kinds can be dispensed with.
A free sample bottle can be had for trial
by sending your address To the doctor,
for in this way Mrs Gaskins Mr. Ga
vellas, and many others first learned of
the cure. Later, when satisfied it is the
remedy you need do as others are doing
and buy it of your druggist at fifty cents
and one dollar a bottle.
DIR. Caldwell does not feel that the
purchase of his remedy ends his obsiga-
ton. He has specialized in stomach, liv-
er, and bowel diseases for over forty
years. and will be pleased to give the
reader any advice on the subject free of
charge All are welcome to write him.
Whether for the medical advice or the
free sample address him DR.. w 3. Cald-

Actress Says Amateur TheatrieaIs
Are Very, Very Sad.
Julia Marlowe put her foot IN It de-
cidedly the other day when she declared
before an assemblage OF Wellesley girls
that she was not interested in amateur
plays. She further said that the only
amateur performances she ever saw were
very, very sad. Now. il there is one
thing more than any other that We'll
lesley girl is proud Of 1t is the amateur
theatricals of the college. Consequently,
Miss Marlowe's speech was not greeted
with wild applause, and IL is safe TO say
that a vote taken for the most popular
actress at that institution would not be
very gratifying to her.
But Mr.. SotheTn. who was likewise pres
ent. like the true hero. came TO the res
cue with the statement that he liked
amateur plays. At the conclusion OF his
little speech thunder of applause burst
forth. The girls knew from what he said
that he was n true lover OF art and felt
that his opinion. after all. was really
more worth while than Miss Marlowe's
