Says Fairness Is Impossible.

Conditions in foreign shipping are
such that no board can adjust rates
fairly to all, +. A. 5. Franklin of New
York, receiver for the International
Mercantile Marine, declared. The mere
presence of a regulatory rate clause in
a shipping law will brighten foreign
vessels away from American ports re-
gardless of how fair the shipping board
may be, he added.
Chairman Alexander injected the re-
mark that foreign ships would have to
come to this country to cargo; that our
place in the worlds business would
make imperative their presence.
''They will come here Mr.. Franklin
replied, only when the rates are good.
If the rates are better elsewhere they
will go there"

Winnipeg contractor, held on extradi-
ton at Chicago on the charge of OBJ
tanning S1,250.O00 by perjury, false pre-
ltenses and fraud in the construction of
the new parliament building at Winni-

May Petition for Rehearing.

Under the practice the mandate of
the Supreme Court of the United States
will not go to the district court for
thirty days, and in that time counsel
for Kelly can petition for a rehearing.
In view of the unanimous decision and
the opinion of the court it is not ex-
pected that such petition Will be
made, or. if made, granted. Therefore
the present government of Manitoba
expects to have Kelly back at Winni-
peg next month.
Pending the eXtradition proceedings
which have been held up by the habeas
corpus appeal to the Supreme Court of
the United States, Thomas Kelly has
been indicted at Winnipeg with Sir
Redmond Robin. prime minister of
Manitoba at the time of the fraud, and
other cabinet officers of the Robin gov
eminent, and the present Manitoba gov
eminent desires to have the cases tried
this spring.
