BIG FIGHT ON
City Council and Street Rail
way Company Due to Take
Up War

Winnipeg, July 12.-Merry doings
between the city and the street rail-
way company In the matter of the
laying of gas mains in city streets
are promised in the near future, the

laration Of war in the shape Of a let
ter addressed to City Engineer Rut-
tan that they proposed, within thirty
days, to proceed with the laying of
gas mains wherever they see At,
whether they get city permits or not.
City Solicitor Hunt has taken up the
gauntlet and declared this morning
that II 1t Is necessary he will call out
the whole Of the police force to pre-
vent the illegal usurpation of city
streets by the company.
The trouble over gas mains is of
long standing and dates from the
time when the city, acting on the ad-
vice Of the solicitor. refused to is
sue permits to the Winnipeg Electric
Railway company for the laying of
gas: mains in tho city streets. The
city offered to issue permits In the
name Of the Manitoba Electric and
Gas Light company: which is the only
company the city can recognise be-
cause Of litigation between the city
and the Winnipeg Electric Railway
company.

Chicago. July 12--Txpert account
ants under the direction Of the com-
mittee of Chicago bankers began the
inspection of the books and accounts
OF the late James Petit and .ae Peavy
Grain COMPANY in order to ascertain
the exact condition Of the board Of
trade firms finances.
Late developments seems to indi-
cate that the losses of the concern
may reach s1,500,O0O, but this cannot
be accurately determined until the
audit of the concerns books has been
made. 1t is expected that this work
will take week or more.
A series of big losses in speculative
plunging in the wheat and oats mar
ket covering period Of two years
during which James E. Petit used the
credit Of the Peavy Grain company
to carry on his trades, is said to have
led to the large shortage.
Petit, it appears, lost in nearly
every recent speculative deal he made.
although he had the reputation Of
being one of the shrewdest operators
in the Chicago market.

SUTHERLAND IN

Denounced Judiciary Recall
Plan in Senatorial Address
Bitterly Opposes It

Washington, July 12.-To an "ami-
able band of insurgents and sooth-
sayers" all efforts in behalf of the in
itiative, referendum and recall pro-
visions of the Arizona constitution,
were traced by Senator Sutherland
OF Utah today. He addressed the
senate In opposition to the approval
Of that instrument. He was especial
ly severe in his denunciation Of the
inclusion Of the members of the ju-
dietary in the recall.
Accepting the application of the
referendum principle as wise where
1t applies to such general ena ctments
as a state constitution. Mr.. Suther-
land oontended that the general pub
lie never would give sufficient time
to general legislation to pass intelli-
gently upon 1t. What he objected to
in the referendum was not it's his
torical application. but its historical
extension. .
"The people as a WHOLE" he said
have neither the inclination, the
specialized training. nor the time re-
Quisite to enable them to master the
thousand and ono details necessary
to qualify them to discharge wisely
the functions of ordinary legislation .
He said that where recently thir.
teen proposed laws HAD been Sub.
mitted to the people of South Dakots
all had been voted down in disgust
owing to the tax imposed on the
electors.
Applying to tho Initiative all the
objections attaching to the referen.

Camorra for years past, took the wit

braced the doings of the Camorra al
most from the beginning of its his

The chief object of the organiza-

usuary. A typical example was found
in the Camorrist Danna, ostensibly a
cobbler, who collected $16O,0O0. Spe-

said, introduce youths to women who
take them to gambling places where
they lose their money and run into

Fire Terror in the North.

North Bay, Ont, July IA terrible
disaster has overtaken northern On
tario as result of the terrible heat
and lack of rain. The whole country
is burning up with bush fires every
where, which have been burning for
yesterday, licking up in their fiery
path everything before them.
Famed by terrible gale of wind.
the flames swept down on villages and
mining camps of the north country,
and the loss Of property will run into
immense figures, while the death roll
must be great. as the Porcupine dis
trict, where the fire is at it's worst,
contains thousands of prospectors,
whose camps are scattered over a
wide area of country heavily tim
bered.
From North Bay northward for 300
miles, and covering wide section
east and west, the flames are busy in
their work Of destruction and death,
,, and miners, prospectors and settlers
are in desperate plight If they even
escape with their lives, for supplies,
buildings and equipment are being
wiped out of existence by the roaring
fire which illuminates the country for
many miles.
South Porcupine and Potsville have
been wiped out, while Golden City was
visited by fire, but the best part of
the town is saved, thus far only the
outskirts being burned.
The south part of Tisdale has been
swept clean, and other townships have
suffered severely. All mining camps
from Dome to Whitney township have
been burned. Hundreds Of people,
men. women and children, were forced
to rush into lakes and streams to seek
refuge from the intense and blistering
heat of the conflagration, an inferno
of terror, with immense clouds OF
smoke darkening the sky. Illuminated
