CANADIANS CLOS:
THEIR PARLIklaENT
Recip 'oei y to be Endor ed if
Liberals Wi September
Election.

Ottawa, Ont.-The 18th Parl' ament
of Canada passed out of ex stence
and upon the political comp exon OF
a new one to be elected September 81
will depend the fate of the reciprocity
agreement between the United States
and Canada
The announcement of the ssolu-
ton was tie fulfillment of Prem er
Laur:er's ultimatum, delivered ID the
opposition forces, that continued re-
s.stance to vote would be met by an
appeal to the country.
The present Liberal government
has large majority in the Dom.n on
Parliament, but the absence of a
cloture rule has made it impossible
to secure a vote by which this major
ty could adopt the reciprocity meas
ure In the event of the success OF
the Liberal party at the polls in Sep
TENDER, the new Parliament will at
once pass the reciprocity measure,
whereas a defeat of the Liberals will
mean the passing of Premier Laur er
and the permanent shelv ne of reel
procity between the United States and
Canada.
The present House of Parliament
consists of 1873 Liberals, IS Conserva-
tives and three Independents.

Widow of Member of Order Loses Fight Against Clause Voiding Policy.

New Haven, June 16-The June term of the Supreme Court of Errors sat here in conference yesterday, and handed down 12 New Haven county decisions last night from the April term of the court, which was held in Fairfield county last April. The outcome of their work, as applied to the New Haven county decisions was somewhat remarkable, because mo error'' was found in any one of the cases.
 The most important matter in this county was that of the Grand Lodge, Ancient Order of United Workmen vs. Mary W. Burns, ct al. This was suit over the payment of s2,OO0 insur- is found by Judge Hall. This is a decision which will attract much at tention among fraternal bodies throughout the country. It is based on an action brought by the order to ascertain the validity of one of its by laws, which provides that any mem Der of that order who enters upon the selling of intoxicating liquors by re- tail, shall, in consequence be suspend ed from all benefits. This form nf business was taken up by the husband of the plaintiff last spring.
 Following upon his death the order brought an action In the Superior court asking as to. whether the death benefit should be paid under this rul- ing of the order. Judge Williams de- cided that the benefit should not be so paid
 The Supreme court now sustains this action of the lower court, thus sus tainirg the validity of this rule of this order

ANGLO-sAxoN STRENGTHENING

Sea power, like other clements of national strength, depends ultimately upon population; upon it's numbers and its characteristics. The great ef- feet of the Panama canal will be the indefinite strengthening of Anglo Saxon institutions upon the northeast shores of the Pacific, from Alaska to Mexico. by increase of inhabitants and constant increase of shipping and commerce.; to which will contribute that portion of present and future local production which will find cheaper access to the Atlantic by the canal than by the existing trans-con- tinental or Great Lakes routes. An officiaI of the Canadian Pacific rail- way has stated recently, before the London Chamber of Commerce that even now British manufactures find their way to British Columbia by the Suez canal; how much more by Pan anna, when that canal becomes evaii- able.-From Rear-Admiral A. T. Ma hans ''The Panama Canal and Sea Power in the Pacific" in the June Century.

CHARACTERISTICS OF GRANITE

The specific gravity of granite ranges from 2.593 to 2.731, with ar average of 2.663-that is, it is 2663 times as heavy as an equal volume of water. A cubic foot of such gran Re will weigh 1864 pounds. The strength of granite is very great Ii will ordinarily withstand a pressure of 15.000 to 34,000 pounds to the square inch. Certain Wisconsin gran ties have withstood crushing up to a pressure of 43,973 pounds to the square inch.
 Granite is usually considered an irnpervious stone, yet it will absorb considerable moisture and a cubic yard of granite will usually contain about 3.5 gallons of water. Many gsanites contain ror per cent. of potash, which is. however, in insolu- b}e form.-From ''Granites of the Southeastern Atlantic States United States Geological Survey Bulletin 42S

VERDICT AGAINST ROAD. Widow of Engineer BoswOrth Award
 ed $3.OOO Damages.

Norwich June 16-The jury in the civil suit of Mrs. Frederick Bosworth of Hartford, widow of Frederick Bos- worth. the engineer who was killed when his train ran into runaway coal cars on the Valley road near Middle town last summer, late yesterday af- ternoon returned verdict of $3 GOO against the New Haven road. The case has occupied the attention of the court for the past three weeks.
 At the time of the accident, former Senator Morgan G. Bulkeley started a fund for Mrs. Bosworth, which, it is said, amounted to approximately S5, ,000 It was some time after re- ceiving the money that Mrs. Bosworth instituted a suit to recover $5,000 from the railroad company. The defendants fought the suit vigorously. believing that the purse of 5000 was a sufficient recompense for the loss of her hus- band.
 Whether the railroad will take an appeal or not could not be learned definitely today.

THE MEDICAL
 PROFESSION
Large Percentage of License Applicants Who Fail to Pass Examinations

Nearly one-half of the candidates for license to practice medicine in Ten nessee were not graduates of any medical college, according to the sta tistics given in a report on medical education published recently in The Journal of the American Medical As sociation. The State Board of Med ical Examiners in Tennessee examined during 1910, 315 candidates of which 451 per cent. or 142 were not graduates of any college.
 Nearly 5000 physicians were licensed by the various State boards to prac- tice medicine during 191O The act ual number is 1852, of which 5,712 were licensed by examination and r. $40 by reciprocity with other State boards.
 A young doctor has a better chance to secure license in the state in which he has been educated than in any other state. Statistics compiled from the reports of the secretaries of all the state medical boards show that graduate has the best chance of which the college from which he grad uated is located. This would indicate that state examining boards which are free from college influence are more apt to give rigid examinations
 There are only four states in which non- graduates of medical colleges are admitted to examinations before state medical boards These are Massa- chusetts, Mississippi, Oregon and Ten nessee. In these four states, men are eligible to examination and may be admitted to the practice of medicine whether they are graduates of medical schools or not. The percentage of non-graduates is the highest in Ten nessee, in which our of 315 success ful candidates for license 142, or 451 per cent. were not graduates of any medical school.
 In the five years from 1905 to 1910 37,367 persons have been examined for a license to practice medicine in the different states. Of this num- Der, 1923, or 20.4 per cent failed to pass the examination or to secure a license. In spite of the large per cent. of failures, however, examina- tions do not always keep out incom- potent physicians. Many of those who fail in one state go to other states having a lower standard until they are successful in securing a .i- cense.
 It is probable that if all the state licensing boards insisted on a high standard as a condition of license the percentage of failures would be much higher than it is

HOPE FOR RECIPROCITY.
Taft Expects Sixty Votes in Senate
 Will Kill Root Amendment.

Washington, June 1s-The Canadian reciprocity bill now has 60 votes in the U. S. Senate, according to the White House count. The Root amendment will be killed by a comfortable major ity in the same body, the men who have studied the situation for Presi- dent Taft say.
 The President expects a long de- bate on the bill and perhaps some acrimonious discussion on the Root amendment but he has expressed the conviction that a combination of Re- publicans and Democrats will defeat the amendment and that two-thirds of the Senate will vote for the bill it. self.

Bread Trust Has

Twenty-One of Biggest Bakeries in Seventeen Large Cities in Combine, Including Fleisch- mann's in New York

l New York, June 16-Following the
 incorporation under the laws of this
 State of the General Baking Company. ] there has been launched a $2O,000,000 | com bination of bread manufa cturers,
 which includes leading bakeries in seventeen cities. The only New York member of the combination is Fleisch-
 manns Vienna Bakery.
 The new company will have $10,- 900, 900 of 2 per cent. preferred stock, | $1O, ,0OO,0 of common stock, and $5,- | 100000 of first and refunding per

The Isbe offered to the public by a syndi- cate under the direction of Harvey Fisk & Sons. The present owners of the constituent companies will retain a controlling interest through their l holdings of the preferred and com mon stock of the General Baking Company, which has been accepted by them in payment for their properties. In a statement issued Wednesday it is said that in the formation of the company there is no thought of the establishm ent of a monopoly in the manufacture and sale of bread, an1 that such monopoly would be inn possible, as in most localities, with few exceptions, only one baking com- pany has been acquired, leaving com petition open to hundreds of others The real purpose of the company is described as being progressive through close buying of materials, general economies, up-to-date methods of manufacturing, and extensive adver- Using.
 It is estimated that 70 per cent. of all the bread in the country is made by housewives and 30 per cent by bakeries. There is said to be S27O,- 100000 invested in the business.
 Washington, June 16-Whetf1er the $25,000,000 'bread trust" just formed by a combination of 21 baking com- panies, is likely to run afouI of the Sherman antitrust law, was the sub- ject of considerable discussion here to- day
 The government trust buster, as- A. Fowler, said that he had not been advised of the formation of the com bination
 Independent bakers here declare their belief that the trust will at once start price war. It was pointed out by several Congressmen that possibly there might be a difficulty in the way of applying the Sherman law to the combine because it was not certain that the bread produced by the trust moved in interstate commerce
 In it's statement of principles" the trust" declares that the combine was effected 'in order to cheapen the cost and institute more economical, scienti- f1c and up-to-date methods in manu- facture, thus giving the people better quality
