BIZ NEA Serrice
TORONTO, March 4.-Statisticians
of the United States expect 10000
murders year. On the same basis,
in proportion to population, the
Province of Ontario, Canada, should
have 300. Instead of 300 the records
for a year show only twenty-one.
In Toronto, a city of 100000 popu-
lation, there has not been a pre-
meditated murder in year and
only three killings. OF these three,
two were cases of insanity.
This contrasts with Chicago's re-
cent record of 1876 murders and 1876
cases of manslaughter in 304 days.
Robbery and fraud in the United
States this year will yield 100000
100000, according to crime prognos-
tications. In Ontario, in a year, but

ZANE GREY WITH
] EXPEDITION SENT
FOR GIANT FISH
Authors Relatives and
Scientists Also in
Party.

SYDNEY, March 4.-The most am
bilious expedition ever fitted out to
capture giant fish assembled at We'll
lington, New Zealand, recently. Its
members included Zane Grey, the
American novelist, bis brother, r. C.
Grey, his son, Romer Grey, Captain
L. Mitchell and c. Alma Baker, mil
lionaire East Indian rubber planta-
ton owner.
Last year Grey, Mitchell and
Baker met at various fishing resorts
along the New Zealand coast, and
had astounding sport with the big
fish. Grey incorporated his expert
ences in a book and before separat-
ing, members of the party deter
mined to meet again this year.
The present venture has been
styled the Zane Grey-Alma Baker
Expedition" It is well equipped. 1t
includes two scientists, a doctor, and
an English naval officer who has
been engaged on survey work in the
South Seas. There are also two eX,
pert motion picture cameramen, apd
two 'stilP' photographers. The movie
men will produce what is reckoned
will be the greatest fishing picture
yet filmed.
Every sort of life will be shown,
as well as camp life, life aboard ship
and trout and salmon fishing. Frank
Stick, a New York artist, is also
coming with Grey.
Grey has sent out his large boat,
the Fisherman, to act as a mother
ship in the various expeditions off
the New Zealand coast, and there are
five motor launches.
Giant swordfish are the chief
means of sport, but there are several
other kinds of big game fish that
fight the angler every inch of the
way until they are landed. The fish
ing season lasts from the end of
January until the end of August and
the New Zealand government,
through its tourist bureau, makes
elaborate camping arrangements for
the fishermen at the chief ceuters
of the sport.

with man she dislikes.
Twenty-three years ago two fami-

neighbors in the small town of Tsai
Yu Chen, near Pekin. In the fashion
known to all Chinese for centuries,
these families pledged their friend
ship by agreeing that if the next
children born to both families were
of opposite sexes they would be
betrothed.
To the Han family was born
daughter; to the Tsao family, son
The betrothal accordingly took
place.
AS the years passed, Miss Han

girl, attractive in all respects and
of considerable literary accomplish
ments. On the contrary, the heir
to the Tsao name and property
found no interests beyond the home
