OFFICIAL Invitation
TO AMERICANS
HOW ROBERT ROGERS, MINISTER
OF THE INTERIOR, IN WINNIPEG
ADDRESS,, ISSUES WELCOME
OF AMERICANS TO WEST.
ERIN CANADA.

During the course of a reply to an
address presented to Hon. Robert Rog-
ers. the newly appointed Minister Of
the Interior of Canada at a banquet
given at Winnipeg in his honor that
gentleman spoke on immigration. The
tone Of his remarks was that he intend.
ed to pursue an aggressive and for.
ward policy in the matter Of immigra-
ton. In part, he said:
1.-THE most important branch per.
haps Of that department C~lnterior) is
that Of immigration.
III there Is anything more than an
other We want here it is a greater pop
u~lation, and it shall be my duty to pre-
sent to the people in all parts of the
world where desirable emigrants r
to be found the advantages and the
great possibilities of this country. We
have received in the past a reasonably
large immigration from south of the
international boundary, and in this
connection let me say just a word for
our American cousins who have found
happy homes amongst us, and those
whom we hope to welcome in greater
numbers in the years to come. There
arc hundreds Of thousands of them in
our prairie provinces, happy in the en-
joyment of a freedom as great as they
ever knew, and all contributing in a
material way towards the development
of Canada. We are not blind to their
value as settlers. They come better
equipped with scientific farming
knowledge than most of our emf
grants, and constitute without doubt
the wealthiest class Of emigrants any
new country has ever known. As
head of the immigration department y
will be my privilege to offer them a
welcome hearty and sincere, and to
SO contribute to their welfare that un-
der the protecting folds of the Union
Jack they will enjoy as great a degree
of liberty and happiness as under the
Stars and Stripes. The Borden gov
eminent cherishes nothing but the
kindliest feelings for the people of the
great republic to the south, and will
do all in it's power to increase the
bonds of kinship and neighborly good
feeling that has so long existed,
(Hear, hear.)
while we adopt a vigorous emf
grafton policy in that country, we will
also adopt the same vigorous policy in
other parts of the world. We will &c
to England, Ireland and Scotland, and
every other country irrespective Of
race, creed or nationality, where We
can find suitable and desirable emf
grants for this great country. I thinl
much good work can be done in those
countries, and especially perhaps a
the present time in England, ireland
and Scotland. Now, then, it will b.
my duty to stir up that policy in thu
most vigorous manner possible"

WHO IS THERE To HELP
THESE LABORERSO OUT?
Duped BY Employment Agencies, Men Who Refuse
to Act as Strike Breakers Are Given the Cold
Shoulder.

The old bunco game is still
worked on the poor laborers In
Tacoma by the employment agen-
cies and public officials sit Idly
by and see it done.
Last week Is men were done
out of nearly $500 on one job.
The law provides that when
there is a strike on, employment
must notify the men
they send to work.
There was q strike on at the
Nisqually canyon where the Ms
qually Contracting company is
digging the city power plant
tunnels. The wages had been
reduced and the men went out
and tied UP the business.
A call for men was made by
the contractors and John Gus
lander's employment agency at
115 South 14th street began
shipping men in.
Eighteen men have complained
at the Industrial World Workers
headquarters that they were dcne
out of their money. They say
they were told there was no trou-

good jobs were waiting for them.

A General Recall
The action has broken the ice
and it is likely now that petit
tons will be out against all the
other commissioners with the
possible exception of Freeland.
There is tremendous feeling
against Roys and had he not gone
home sick last November he
would have been recalled then.
When he came back to the office
the other commissioners had got
ten in so bad that sentiment was
in favor of recalling more than
one.
The organization that had pre-
pared to recall Roys for his re-
fusal to enforce the laws and his
turning the city over to the vice
syndicate to exploit their crimes
in a meeting called to take ac-
tion on his recall was practically
a unit for the recall of Woods and
Lawson as well.
This rather headed the recall
off for a time. but this morning
following the action to start
recall on Fawcett, the recall SEN
timent to eliminate Woods. Law
son and Roys, took a big boom.

IS RELATED

Police Judge Arntson was the
principal witness in the Kvalshaug
trial today, and proceeded to re-
late details incident to a confess
sion made by Charles F. Newcomb
in the office of the chief of police.
Attorney Kelly repeatedly object
ed to questions asked the witness
by State Attorney Burmeister, but
the court overruled him on every
occasion.
Relating the details of the con-
fession, Judge Arntson said n
part: 'Newcomb was warned by
you, Mr.. Burmeister, that any
thing he said might be used in
evidence against him, but New
comb insisted on telling the whole
story, and related how he met
Mrs. Kvalshaug and afterwards
met her again and again by ap-
lpointment at the Davenport hotel,
where he engaged room. He and
Mrs. Kvalshaug were generally in
the room together an hour each
time, and improper relations took
lplace. Mrs. Kvalshaug complain
ed to him (Newcomb) several
times that she wanted to get rid
of her husband Martin. Later in
the hospital she gave him $40 with
which he bought gun. After she
left the hospital he visited her
several times at home, but never
went in the house.

Describing the night of the
dance, Newcomb explained how
they planned that he should leave
the hall early and lie in wait for
Kvalshaug returning home. AS
they came along Newcomb stated
he stepped into the road and when
Mrs. Kvalshaug- saw him she said,
Now give it to him." He grap-
pied with Kvalshaug, holding the
gun in his left hand. They both
went to the ground, and while
down he took the gun in his right
hand and fired twice. After the
second shot Mrs. Kvalshaug want
ed him to shoot again, but he re-
fused and threw the gun to the
ground. Mrs. Kvalshaug then
picked up the gun and held it
close to her husbands face and
fired two shots.

WHEELING, w. Va, Jan. IT.
purporting to show
that Mrs. Laura Farnsworth
Schenk, on trial here for alleged
attempt to poison her millionaire
John o. Schenk, had
been addicted to joy rides which
involved improper relations with
another man, was given by Landy
Wilson, the Schenk chauffeur,
when the hearing of the case was
resumed today.
Dan Phillips, with whom Mrs.
Schenk is alleged by the prosecu-
tion to have admitted improper re-
lations, was the companion of the
defendant on her rides. On the
stand Wilson recited at length
the attentions of Mrs. Schenk to
Phillips and said the couple had
often gone on auto trips at mid
night.
Would Leave Them Alone.
Mrs. Schenk," said Wilson,
would often have me telephone
to Phillips and take him notes.
would call him up from the Schenk
home and then she would talk.
She would order me to get beer
and sandwiches. Mrs. Schenk did
not always drink the beer. When
had the supplies, we'd ride out
into the country, eat the lunch in
the car, and then l would leave for
a walk. When l heard the auto
mobile horn | knew it was time to
return. The lights of the auto
mobile would nearly always be
out.''
Wilson declared flatly that he
had seen the defendant and Phil
lips. in an improper position, and
related that on an automobile tour
to Cambridge, Ohio, Mrs. Schenk
had told him how much she loved
Phillips.

Wilson testified that once Phil
lips and Mrs. Schenk left the car
while it was stalled in a country
road and that they were absent
for long time while he repaired
"a puneture. Wilson was told that
Mrs. Schenk was taking Phillips
TO a clothier where she intended
to buy him a fur lined overcoat.
Phillips did not pay for it.
During the giving of Wilson S

him fixedly and took copious
notes, paying no attention, how
ever, to the smiles and winks
with which part of his testimony
was received by the crowd which
