VANCOUVER. oct. 2f.-(U. p
Indications are that British Columbia
defeated the prohibition act in yes
terday's referendum. The majority
against the act is expected to reach
10000. Women participated in the
voting. The result win be generous
policy for sale Of liquor in government
shops but not over open bars.
No more doctors prescriptions will
be necessary for securing liquor.
There will be no return OF the bar but
the country has gone wet in the sense
that liquor in limited quantities here
after will be always obtainable. Van
couver city decided for the change by
a majority Of 10000. Out of 400 polls
not more than a score voted dry. IN
the whole of Vancouver island, only
one village refused to join the popular
procession. One reason for the change
of sentiment is the prevalence Of scan
dals and poor administration of the
dry law. Physicians have been issu-
ing prescriptions at the rate Of four
thousand month.

TWO OTHERS SLAIN
NEAR TAMPICO MONDAY.

HOUSTON, Tex, Jan. 1.-Two
American employees of the Interna-
tional Petroleum Company, murdered
by bandits near Port Lobos, Mexico.
were from Texas. They were slain
Monday according to information re-
ceived here.
F. j. Roney was a Houston oil
man, and Earl Bowles formerly was
with the Gulf Refining Company, at
Beaumont, Tex. The first report re-
ceived here from a correspondent at
Tampico, was confirmed in a report
to the Texas company.
The telegram to the Texas COMPANY
from its representative at Tampico
merely said Roney was killed by BAN
dts Monday at Port Lobos. A SINH
lar message was received by the Gulf
Refining Company. Bowles was
prominent in Texas oil affairs in the
spindle-top days.
The territory in which the murders
occurred was said to be under the
control of Carranza forces.

France Returns $4,000
War-Labor Chinese

PARIS, Jan. Ninety thousand
Chinese brought to France by the
British army for war work behind
the lines are being returned as their
three-year contracts expire and by the
end of February it is expected only
about 10000 of them will remain.
These will be picked groups re-en-
gagged for two-year period. About
10000 of the Chinese who worked
for the French army have been or
soon will be sent home.
For two years the Chinese have
been brought into close contact with
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. R. M, Hersey, formerly gem
eral secretary of the American Y. M.
e. A. at Tien-tsin, who has been in
charge of the work among the Chi
nese, said they were going back home
better equipped mentally and morally
than when they came.
Little religious work has been done
by the Y. M. c. A., Mr.. Hersey said.
Patriotism was accentuated; morality
was extolled, and the meaning of the
war was explained so the men might
not go back with critical, depressing
views of European civilization. Lead
ership was DEVELOPED among them and
as a result, Mr.. Hersey said he hoped
the thousands Of Chinese would be-
come a leaven for China.

The statement also asserted that
we can prove that the chief figures
in such celebrated bomb plots were
agents of similar nature and that
somes other radical activities now
said to have been instituted by Rus
SLAMS were in reality managed and
inspired by secret service agents."
"The Russian government Soviet

opportunity to make good these as
sertions before the proposed senate
