BolLng's mother ended her life
about 20 years ago.
In event the defense brings
alieniSts into the case, the Com
monwealth's attorney is prepared
to bring State experts here to
examine the accused man.
No police court hearing Of the
case will be held, it was decided,
but a special session Of the grand
jury will be called early next week
and Mr.. Cole will ask a first de-
gree murder indictment be re-
turned, he announced.
While the woman named by
Boiling as the cause Of the fatal
quarrel has made a statement to
the .commonwealth's attorney and
to police, it was learned that in
event of a trial she would be
brought into the case as a defense
witness.
Woman is Silent
The woman has admitted that
she was a friend Of both Boiling
and Carter, but other than that
has refused to discuss the case
and remained in SecluSion in her
hcme today.
Boiling, who is 20, has made
a written confesSinl that he
stabbed his friend with q hunting
knife, shot him, then placed the
body in a bath tub in an effort
to make it appear a -uicide, Com.
monwealth's Attorney.
Both Men Popular
Fredericksburg. shocked in re.
cent years by the brutal Battle
field Park Staying Of Fanny
Kurtz, and by the more recent
Bell poison case, is mortified by
the crime, for both Boiling and
Carter were popular here.
Boiling, q former lieutenant in
Battery F. 111th Field Artillery,
Virginia National Guard, of which
Carter was a private, acted as q
pallbearer at his friends funeral
on Thursday with o Aer members
of the battery.
And a short time after the final
rites had been held he was taken
into custody by police who were
suspicious of his story that Carter
had committed suicide
Detectives from Richmond were
called in by local police and after
hours of grilling Boiling broke
early yesterday. Trapped by con-
flicting statements, he admitted
the killing. police said, and made
a complete confession.
Crime Reenacted
He was then taken to the scene
and reenacted the crime, then
took detectives to the river front
and showed them where he had
thrown the knife he used to stab
Carter.
The woman was questioned by
authorities.
Possibility Of q plea Of self de-
fense was seen when Boiling
stated that Carter was holding the
% calibre rifle and that he had
a hunting knife. They struggled
he said, and he stabbed Carter in
the breast, the blade penetrating
the lung and causing a hemorr-
hage. He wrested the rifle from
Carter and SCOT him. then put the
body in the bath tub and placed
the rifle in Carter's hands to make
it appear a suicide.
Boiling, a member Of the family
after whom Boiling Field, the
Army Air Corps post in Washing
ton was named, was an honor
graduate of Augusta Military
Academy and served as regimen

years as a lieutenant in the local
battery he resigned his commits

later rejoined and was made a
sergeant.

Heart of Tree Grows
Cool as Heat Rises

The heartwood Of a tree is cool
however hot the weather may be out
side. according to Prof. E. S. Reynolds
of Washington University, st. Louis.
Prof. Reynolds, who for several years
has kept an electric thermometer bur-
led in the heart of cottonwood tree,
declares that when the Summer heat
of 1884 reached about ITO degrees
Fahrenheit, the temperature at the
center of his cottonwood tree was only
about so degrees.
The curious phenomenon In this
connection, says the Detroit News, is
that Prof. Reynolds further discovered
that sudden change in the air tenn
perature outside would cause a change
in the opposite direction in the tenn
perature Of the heart of the tree. In
explanation of the fact that the tree
heart seemed to become cooler as the
heat outside increased, Prof. Rey-
nolds offers the theory that the rapid
evaporation of water from the leaves
puts heavy strain on the water In
side, thus causing o rapid internal
evaporation and temperatures drop
during evaporation.

not. the business in heavy manufac-
turing to which the production gives
rise is an unquestioned advantage.
Typically, the capital in Philippine
mining is nearly all local capital. Aid
of other capital, such as American,
would develop the industry much more
rapidly.
May Finance Oil.
This may happen in the case of min
eral oil. Seven oil companies are of re-
cent birth, all looking for backing from
oil manufacturing interests-some say
ing, in fact, that they now have this
backing. Their exploration leases cover
hundreds of thousands of acres, move
no doubt designed to be ahead Of any
foreign effort, such as something from
Japan. to clinch possession of Philip
pine oil lands.
Experimental borings are generally
reported favorable, but no flowing wells
or gushers are In the near offing. There
is, however, good shale and natural
gas. Another company has begun dis
tillation from rock asphalt, yielding 10
per cent to 80 per cent kerosene and
fuel oil. of which it owns large de-
posit. That company also controls oil
leases, and Is Soring hopefully.
It always has been suspected that
the Borneo oil fields may extend into
the Philippines. Reason would say.

Another explanation is that as the
pioneers began to move Westward the
country's attention was turned from
shipping to the development of the
interior.
From the low point of 81 per cent
reached in 1910 the value of the for
eign commerce carried in American
ships remained at about 10 per cent
until the outbreak of the World War.
The United States then was brought
to a realization of the Importance OF
an adequate merchant marine. Hav-
ing depended on the shipping of other
countries to carry most Of its COM
merce, this country saw goods pile
up at American ports when the war
in Europe disrupted overseas COM

The United States then had to

quiring and building ships. The chart

M anti-war pact was signed
w at Rio de Janeiro, in Oc-
tober, 1888, non-American
nations were invited to adhere to this
newest attempt at organized peace.
South American governments had
been the original parties to the treaty,
but Italy was the first outside power
to avail itself Of the invitation and
affix its signature to the latest instru-
ment devised to preserve international
peace.
The fact was scarcely commented at
the time-it was taken as a gesture
Of good will on the part of the Italian
government toward the Argentine
minister Of foreign affairs, author of
the pact-and it would have remained
merely a matter of historical record
had it not been for the slight differ
ence of opinions" which developed
subsequently btween II Duce and Halle
Selassie as to the future status of the
proud descendants of the Queen of
Sheiba.
Article Is Recalled.
The ultimate designs of Mussolini's
Colonial expedition" (war is an ugly
word in these days of League Of
Nations and Kellogg pacts) and the
actual seizure of Ethiopian territory
by the modern Roman legions, neces-
sarily recall one outstanding feature
of the pact which Italy hastened to
subscribe in 1888. BY article Of the
Saavedra Lamas treaty the sigma
tories agreed that they shall recog-
nize no territorial arrangement not
obtained through pacific means nor
the validity of an occupation or ac-
QUESTION of territory brought about by
armed force"
To be sure, this is not the only
pledge or moral obligation which the
Italian diplomats will have to explain
away when, and If, they succeed in
their present endeavors, but the point
Is that thus, by sheer force OF cir
cumStarfees the ambitious Italian en-
terprise in Africa will eventually lend
dramatic interest and emphasis to the
New Worlds most important contri-
button in the field of international
law.
The controversy as to whether or
not there is an American law of ma
tions distinct from that of the Old
World may go on for years, or CEN
turies, enlightened" by technical and
philosophical speculations, but the
genuinely American origin and Amer
ican growth Of this novel doctrine

Bolivar Pioneer.
As early as the first quarter of the
past century we find the first pioneer
ing efforts in this direction in Boil
vars famous theory of the status

at continental union in the Congress
of Panama. BY his adoption of the
existing territorial divisions inher-
tied from the Spanish colonial ad-
ministration as the permanent boun-
daries of the newly born independent
republics of the Western Hemisphere
and by his insistence at Panama on a
mutual guarantee Of the inviolability
Of their respective territories, the
South American iberator laid down
the foundations for the more spe-
cific and much more widely accepted
doctrine of today.

It will be seen that American ship

In 1852 Horace Greely wrote Miss
Anthony the following lines: Since
I have been in Washington I have
been more depressed than ever. The
Army Is almost in a state of mutiny
for want Of its pay and for lack
Of a leader. Nothing can carry the
North but the Southern Negroes, and
no one can marshal them into the

Revision of Canada
Obstructed by New Brunswick Rights

This reinsurance may help greatly
to lay the ghost at the feast" but
it still will be necessary to overcome
the irreconcilability of New Bruns-
wick to the Mackenzie King govern
ment's plan to transfer constitutional
amending power from Westminster to
Ottawa. The province. however, may
be persuaded to agree to such trans
fer of amending power with wide re-
strictions as to rights safeguarded in
the B. N. A. act.
Certain present problems cannot be
dealt with on provincial lines. There
are. moreover, Implications in admin
istration and taxation which could be
avoided.
Failure to reach an agreement in
respect Of giving the constitutional
amending power to the Canadian peo-
pie may postpone this effort indefl-
nitely, while certain definite amend
ments generally conceded to be urgent
are obtained in the accustomed man
ner by a joint resolution of the Ca
madam Commons and Senate for
warded to the British Parliament for
its automatic approval.
Would RepaSs New Deal"
Among the amendments would be
some of the Bennett New Deal" laws
now before the Supreme Court, EN-
bracing unemployment insurance,
hours of work, federal marketing, fed
eral loans to farmers and minimum
wages If the court should adjudge
them ultra wires of the Dominion
Parliament. There would also be a
definition of federal control over un-
employment and over the new pro-
vincial loan councils.
Maritime rights" have always been
a matter of conflict between federal
and provincial authorities. There
have even been threats of secession.
But even the provinces-by-the-sea
realize some realignment in juris-
diction is needed to harmonic with
modern practices, and once formula
is obtained guaranteeing sovereignty
and maintaining British ties, there
should be immediate agreement With

BY d. NJ. HALLIDAY.

TORONTO, February "a 68-year-
old specter has risen to complicate
federal and provincial efforts to obtain
constitutional autonomy for Canada in
order to implement social and eco
nomic legislation.
Its unterrifying title is maritime
rights" but it makes statesmen shake
in their shoes. and, unless it can be
exercised. proposed changes IN the
British North America act, which es-
tablished Canada as a nation in 1867
and serves as her constitution, will be
greatly impeded.
In that year New Brunswick, a self
governing province of Great Britain
and one of the three maritime prov
inces Of the Dominion. agreed to unite
with Nova Scotia and Ontario and
Quebec in q confederation, with CEN
tral government and Parliament in
trusted by these provinces with GER
tain powers to carry out certain pur-
poses and certain objects.
While New Brunswick surrendered
some of its governmental functions
and powers, it retained full independ-
ence and autonomy in respect of all
those other functions and powers
which go with and are the indicia of
self-government. It remained, as be-
fore, a province of Great Britain, SOW
reign within its own sphere.
Sanctioned by Parliament.
This agreement was sanctioned and
ratified by the British Parliament and
incorporated in the B. N. A. act. The
provinces left the power to change the
confederation agreement in Westmin-
ster's control.
j. B. McNair, attorney general, ar
gues that the proposed constitutional
alteration would deprive New Bruns-
wick Of its status, enjoyed since its
foundation in 1874, as a province of
Great Britain, and would make it
simply territorial division Of Canada,
losing its sovereignty.
The intention to give to the Par
lament of the Dominion power to
invade the legislative fields of the
provincial Legislature, provided two
thirds of the provinces agree, can
mean nothing less" he maintains.
by no stretch Of the imagination
could the Legislature Of New Bruns-
wick be held to enjoy sovereign rights
when 1t might be shorn of its power
without its consent. The confedera-
ton established by the province in
1867 would cease to exist
A proponent Of B. N. A. act mod
ernization, Arthur Roebuck, attorney
general of Ontario, denies this con-
tention. II there is any threat to pro-
vincial sovereignty, he declares, New
Brunswick can count US in with
them in opposition to any. move Of
that kind"
Rights Within Rights.
Sovereign rights of the provinces
within their own jurisdiction are
equal to those of the Dominion within
its jurisdiction, Mr.. Roebuck asserts.
and the protection which the prov
inces relied on as protecting them
against Dominion encroachment by
reason of their authority under the
B. N. A. act to perform treaties was
that the King himself at the time Of
passing the act was the only authority
capable of making treaties.
ut was never intended by the 9. N.
A. act that the Dominion could ex-
tend its jurisdiction into the provin-
cial field simply by agreeing with some
third party to dp So" he says.
