who is said to have figured in various
commercial difficulties in the last few
wears, was arrested yesterday by Dep
utv Sheriff Eisenstein on a judgment
for s4919 rendered against him in the
Supreme Court in fraud action. Wup-
herman was released on $4,000 bail.
The plaintiff was Dominique Wee
chini, who also sued George lie Provost,
D. S. Sanford and the American De
signing and Reproducing Company. lie
Provost owed Vecchini $4,000 on notes
indorsed by Sanford. Vecchini al
legged that Wupperman was one of the
men who conspired TO induce him to
part with the notes in exchange for
stock in the American Designing and
Reproducing Company. II was repre-
sented. Vecchini alleged, that the
stock was of value and that large sub
scriptions for shares had been received.
The defendants also represented that
Sanford was insolvent and not able TO
make good his Endorsement on the
notes. All these representations, the
plaintifT charged, were false.

g. Miners Killed
BY Cape Breton
Colliery Blast
Many Injured and Rescuing
Parties Are Overcome
by Gas

Sydney. n. S., July 25.-Sixty-two
miners were killed by an explosion IN
the Dominion Coal Company's No. II
Colliery. at New Waterford, to-day.
Thirty bodies had been recovered late
tonight, and it was believed that the
gradual clearing away of the gas fumes
which hindered the early work of res
cue would permit of the removal Of
wreckage so that other bodies could be
reached before morning. Of the dead,
thirty were natives of Cape Breton,
TWENTY-FIVE were from Newfoundland
and the other ten were classed as for
eigners.
The cause of the disaster, which was
the worst in the history of Cape Breton
mining, had not been determined to-
night. There was report, uncon-
firmed. that the misfring of the first
shot after the miners entered the pit
was responsible.
The explosion occurred at No. 6 land
inc where sixty of the 260 men IN the
mine were working. Most of the miners
on that landing were killed. AT NO I
landing the rescue party found eighU
more bodies and large number OF IN
juIed.

spectators around the capitol halls
this morning to a spot on the broad

Lyman Of HiIo and Attorney w. T.
Rawlins were engaged in lively con-

It appeared that Lyman accused
Rawlins OF knocking" the formers

MED that he had been doing any
knocking and offered to can any mau

STILL TO BE sETTLED-AND SETTLED
RIGHT!

For the third time territorial Legislature has
killed the abatement By injunction bill and the
proft-takers of vice are happy
Once before yesterday the bill was passed by the
senate and reached the house to be killed there by
indifference. 1t was slain Yesterday not by indif-
ference but by political tricksters playing preju
dice. ..,.".
Though the bill has been indefinitely postponed
and its chance of passing is almost certainly gone
really worth while. Public discussion has been wide
spread and enlightening. \ large number of hither
to Indifferent citizens have walked up to the import
ance of Strengthening the laws against commercial
lied vice. and to the necessity for the application of
such strengthened laws in the community. A great
deal Of popular hostility to the measure has been
dispelled No longer it be said that the bar to
its passage is public apathy.
Those citizens who have given sincere and unspar-
ing efforts during the past six months in bringing
the injunction plan to public attention
and urging its passage by the legislature have not
worked in vain. If the need for this law is as evil
dent during the next two years as it is now the
1919 legislature will be asked to enact it. Perhaps
then there will not be the spectacle of legislator
changing front, in chagrn and modification over
another matter. to strike the abatement bill treach
erous blow below the belt
No fight is ever settled, says the adage until it
is settled right. This fight is not setted-not by
long way-and when it is settled it will be won by
the supporters of public deceney not the other kind
