TO MAKE NEWsPRINT.
Western Canada Already Starts New
Industry.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Sept rs
Erection of the first pulp and paper
plant in the prairie provinces at q
cost of 100000 has begun near
Winnipeg. The plant will have an in
itial capacity of 1909 tons of news
print a day and will, it is believed,
furnish paper to the middle western
market of the United States.
Location of the plant in the west,
II is said is an indication of the ex-
pansion Of the Canadian newsprint in
dustry. 1t was once thought that the
pulpwood supplies of the prairie
provinces would not be called into re-
QUESTION for years, but the increasing
consumption of the middle western
states and their proximity to the
prairie provinces has brought about
the demand. Newsprint production
In the Dominion rose from 690,250
tons in 1921 to 1,031,364 tons in 1922,
and this year, it is reported, it will
show even greater gains.

PRELATE IS FREED
Of DEATH PENALTY
Soviet Substitutes Prison
Term for Archbishop-PIea
of Vicar Denied.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, March 3o.-The death
sentence recently imposed on Arch
bishop Zepliak, head of the Roman
Catholic Church in Russia, was COM
nuted today 10 ten years imprison-
ment under strict isolation. The ap-
peal of Vicar General Butchkavitch
Sor clemency was denied.
The central executive committee.
which met to consider requests for
mitigation Of the sentences, said in its
decision that both prelateS were de-
Sarvtng OF the penalty imposed by the
Moscow court, but that Communication
. was ordered in the case of the arch
bishop because a certain element of
the Catholic citizens in Russia might
exploit the sentence as being directed
against the priests and their religion.
The committee, however. said il re-
Sarded that the evidence in the case
OF Mgr Butchkavitch showed his d.
rect reasonable connection with an
enemy OF the state.
Text of the Decision.
The decision was signed by Presi-
dent Kalinin and Secretary Sapronoff.
1t read as follows:
The court had fixed the guilt OF
Citizen Hepliak, who had been acting
contrary to the interests Of the work
ing class and TO the fundamental
gains of the proletarian revolution.
By consistently directed action he
had made use of the laws which guar
antee equally for every one freedom
OF religion.
These actions are very heavy
crimes in the revolutionary republic.
which. as before, is surrounded by
numerous enemies. There cannot or
could not be another penalty except
that which was fixed for Zepliak by
: the court.
Reason for Changing Sentence.
However. taking into considera-
tion that Zepliak is the representa-
tive Of such religion. which at the
time of the late czarist government
and at the time of the bourgeoisie
republic was suppressed, applica ton
to him of a penalty very we'll earned
might be interpreted by a certain
backward element of the Catholic
citizens of soviet Russia, whose re-
ligtous feeling he tried to exploit and
direct as eCtcd against the
priests and their religion.
I'VE. therefore. as an exception
from the penalty policy of.the repub-
lie, have decided TO change the SEN
tence fixed by the court to ten years
Imprisonment in strict isolation.
LAS regards Citizen Butchkavitch.

The newspaper Pravda says that

archbishop the central executive
committee Is complying only with

AS most public and personal
troubles arise from misunderstood
ings, and as many of these misun-
derstandings result from faulty
vocal contracts, the troubles of the
country could be reduced by vocal
training, Mrs. Carr suggested.
''Voice development should be
given a place as major study in
all schools" she maintained Chill
dren should begin to learn the
use of their voices when they
learn their A B C's. They
should be taught breathing, die
ton, a knowledge of time and
rhythm, an understanding of the
value of voWels and consonants
and mental and physical poise in
speaking as an essential part of
their equipment for life. =
Mrs. Carr's system provided for
the development of the vocal forces
of young America through train
ing in singing. Her work in
this direction has been declared
unique and far reaching by
Indiana musical authorities.
