that the company's rates were exorbitant

Atlantic City probation officer.
In the opinion of some Philadelphians.
notably those women whose husbands
have the frequent tendency OF being de-
tanned at the office. this might not be a
bad scheme to put into effect here.
According to the Rev. Homer w. Tope,
district superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League, Wholesale gathering in OF
suspects might result II such a scheme
were put into operation at a time SO
close to New Years.
And I'm not so sure that the breath
test would prove infallible after ALL"
he said. "There are many lodges to
which a man can resort in order to dis
gulse the flavor of his libations. In my
opinion, a better way of keeping a man
straight than that is to take the saloons
away from the man altogether. The only
way to minimize the jag list is to remove
the jag"

D. S. TO PUSH PROBE
OF SHOOTING AFFAIR
On CANADIAN BORDER
May Demand Reparation
for Killing of American
Hunter by Troopers at
Fort Erie.

WASHINGTON, Dec So.-Counselor
Lansing, of the State Department. today
admitted the brief official report on the
killing of an American hunter and the
wounding of another by Canadian troop
ers at Fort Erie, made the shooting APP
pear to be a serious affair, unless II be
explained satisfactorily, He is co-operat-
ing with Secretary OF State Bryan in
handling the case, and said few days
might elapse before the department could
announce what action would be taken.
Secretary Bryan has let it become
known, however, that the investigation
will be pushed vigorously and that the
United States will demand reparatlon. II
Justified in doing so, through the proper
diplomatic channels. Mr.. Bryan said that
besides the American Consuls report, he
was much concerned to know what the
British Governments investigation might
disclose.
sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British AM
bassador, has not received a response to
his message to the Governor General of
Canada, asking that the matter be inves-
tigated fully. The Ambassador asked for
Information following request from
Secretary Bryan to the diplomat for any
facts he might have on the case.
No further information came today
from Vice Consul Curtis at Fore Erie to
supplement the meagre details embodied
in his preliminary report. State Depart
ment officials said the delay was due
TO special instructions to him to investi-
gate the matter thoroughly and to rep
resent this Government at the coroner's
inquest over the dead man and insist
that every fact be produced to fix re-
sponsibility.
It is regarded as deplorable that such
q matter should come up at this time to
disturb the good feeling existing between
The United States and Canada, but off, 1
cials are confident the Canadian Gov
ernment will take the proper action in
4he matter when the facts are made
known and will cooperate with the |
United States In every way.

Canadian Soldiers Who Killed Ameri-
can in Prison.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 3O.-Awith the
three Canadian militiamen, who shot and
killed one American and seriously
wounded another, in prison. Charles
Dorsch, the survivor, was able today to
give his account of the incident which
grew out of hunting ducks in Canadian
waters at the wrong season.
The wounded man says that neither
he nor William Smith, his companion,
who was killed, clearly understood the
signals and shouts of the soldiers, and
started to pull across the Niagara River
in their. rowboat for the American side.
Then he declares the men opened fire
and he counted 15 reports before losing
consciousness. Both men were struck
in the first fusillade, He also says that
several shots were fired after both had
fallen in the bottom of the boat.
