OCCUPANTS IN A PANIC Seventy-five Rescued From Debris, Many of Them in Their Night glathes, but Only Dne Woman Is Se- riously Injured—Disaster Due to Ex- cavating for New Building on an Ad- Joining Lot. % Winnipeg, Feb. 16.—Seventy-five per- sons, most of them in their night clothes, many screaming with terror, were rescued from the collapsed Nares hlockat 2:30 in the morning. Mrs. John McLeavy, seventy-five years old, was fatally injured by falling debris. The wreck of the new six-story building was. the result of adjacent building operations. There were twelve suites occupied and sixteen rooms on the top floor which young | women clerks slept in. The building I.is in the center of the city. Constable Hamilton, the watchman for the Bank of Commerce, heard the imbers supporting the building creak- ing and gave an alarm. Most of the occupants of the block were rescued by the police, who carried them from the building to the street. As it was they had a thrilling time getting the people out. As soon as the women oc- cupants realized the danger they were in they started screaming and shout- ing from sheer terror and had prac- tically to be dragged out. Struck by Falling Debris. Mrs. McLeavy, on account of her age, had a trying time in getting out and her residence started to go to pieces. She was struck by falling de- bris, receiving a deep cut on the knee and her neck was badly gashed. She was rushed to the genmeral hospital, {and, on account of the extreme shock, her recovery is not expected. The granddaughter of Mrs. McLeavy and her two children were caught-in the collapse and nearly lost their lives and it was only by hard work on the part of their rescuers that they could be taken out. About fifty feet of the building caved into. the excavation where the new Ca- nadian Bank of Commerce is being erected. When the bank building was removed some time ago it was feared the collapse of the Nares block might result and the building was according- ly strengthened with heavy timber supports. | | | Sedentary habits, lack of outdoor exercise, instfficient mastication of food, constipation, a torpid liver, worry and anxiety, are the most common causes of stomach troubles.

MINNESOTA 'KNOX TALKS | Jast few years. O TALKS ON RECIPROCITY Defends Canadian Pact in Speech -at Chicago. ‘ PREDICTS BIG BENEFITS Says Agreement Will Have Effect of Reducing the ‘Cost of ‘Living to a Jarge Number of Our People and Takes Issue With Those Who Charge That the Farmers - Will Be In- Jjuriously Affected. Chicago, Feb. 16.—Secretary of State Kriox and James J. Hill were the prin- cipal speakers at last night’s })anquet of the Chicago Association of.Com- merce. Secretary Knox spoke on “Reciprocity With Canada.” He dis- eussed our trade relations with Cana- da during the past half century, declar- ing that restrictions and discrimina- tions have continually disturbed the natural course of trade. Coming down to the pending agreement he said: “The aim and purpose of the agree: ment which has been negotiated is to promote better trade relations and to cement and strengthen friendly inter- course between neighboring nations. “The scope of the agreement is broad in principle and comprehensive in de- tail. Recognizing the condition which exists in our own country and without undertaking to define the causes which have led to the increased cost of liv- ing, it seeks to give our millions of ‘Wwage-earning consumers the benefit of drawing upon the surplus food sup- plies nearest at hand. It seeks, by providing for the freest possible inter- change of commodities across a po- litical boundary, which, when it comes to production and commerce, is an arti- ficial: boundary, to prevent those ma- nipulations and those speculative fluctuations in price which are harm- ful both to the producer and to the consumer. It may be stated as an axiom that the more abundant the source of supply and the more free the movement of products the less chance there is of decreasing the legitimate profits of the producer and of increas- ing the cost to the consumer by arti- ficial scarcity. [ First Object of Agreement. “It is evident that contiguous coun- tries occupying the relation of the United States and Canada, in the in- terest alike of producers and con- sumers, should first provide for the freest possible interchange of prod- ucts of widespread consumption by the masses and also articles of animal consumption. This naturally includes wheat and the other cereals, live food animals, fish, fruits, dairy products, and vegetables. All this is done in the reciprocity agreement. “Next, withi the purpose of cheap- ening food supplies, it follows that the raw products having been made free, secondary food products should have the duties materially lowered. This also is provided for in the agree- ment, since heavy reductions are made in the duties on flour, meats. of all kinde, canned meats and vegeta- bles, various cereal preparations, and that large class of articles of common consumption which usually are desig- nated as foodstuffs partly manufac- tured. “While a reciprocity agreement lim- ited to natural products would be beneficial, nevertheless in order that such an agreement should be really comprehensive the terms should in- clude manufactured commodities also. This, too, is done. Rates are mutu- ally reduced on a large variety of manufactures. The list would have been even larger had the Dominion reached the stage of industrial devel- opment in which she felt that she articles. Farmers Will Be Benefitted. “It happens that in the sections where there are the greatest produc- tive resources of the .cereals nature has not provided forests. So we have made rough lumber free and have given the prairie states the boon which they have so long desired. Having in mind the interest of the farmer we have also made free barbed and galvanized wire fencing, and a number of iron and steel products which our Canadian friends are now manufacturing. The interest of both consumers and producers are main- tained in every part of the agreement. “That this agreement will bepefit large numbers of people in all sec- tions of our own country will be ap- parent the more its terms are exam- ined and analyzed. Nor will any class be injuriously affected by it. I know it has been said that in some sections the farmers will be hurt by the free admission which we offer to Canadian ‘wheat and other cereals, but I am per- suaded that the more the agreement 18 studied, the more the present eco- nomic conditions -are analyzed, and the more the tendencies of trade in .| the: present day are examined, the clearer it will be that the benefits are generally distributed and that no per- manent injury to any producing class ‘s to be apprehended. We must rec- ognize the great increase in the value of the farm lands of the grain-produc- ing sections of the country within the ‘We have to take ac- count of the difficulties of increasing ithe wheat acreage.” A piece of flannel dampened with | Chamberlain’s Liniment and bound on to the affected parts is superior to any plaster. - When troubled with lamé back or pains.in the side or chest give it a trial aud you are cer- tain to be more than pleased with the prompt relief which it affords. 1Sold'by Barkerk Drug Sthe. e could include a greater number ot | AN BE BEATEN BY FILBUSTER Fate.of Reciprocity in Senate Bonbtful. MAJORITY FAYORS BILL If Vote Can Be Cecured Measure Is Said to Be Certain tg Pass.the Up- per House—Finance Committee Ex- pected to Report the Bill Back With 4 Recommendation for Indefinite Postponement. 3 Washington, Feb. 16.—Reciprocity with Canada, which now becomes the principal guestion before the senaté, is believed to depend on whether the opposition will resort to filibuster to defeat it. It is the best judgment of Genate leaders on both sides of the chamber that if the McCall bill ‘to carry out the provisions of the Cana- dian agreement is permitted to reach a vote at this session the senate will pass it by as decisive a vote as was recorded for it in the house. The senate committee on foreign re- lations’ met and reported the Cana- dian agreement back to the senate and it was sent to the finance com- mittee. It had been in the custody of the committee on foreign relations since coming to the senate, but no ac- tion" was taken regarding it. The ef- fect of referring it back to the senate is practical recognition of the fact that it contains nothing likely to #nvolve the United States in obligations to Canada in conflict with the peaceful trade relations which exist with other countries. It is believed to have been deter- mined, beyond any doubt that the bill will not be hung up in the finance,com- mittee. B Courtesy Demands Action. Although a majority of the Repub- lican members, as well as at least two of the Democratic members are known to be oppored to it, it is said the com- mittee feels that courtesy to the presi- dent demands that it be reported to the senate. Furthermore the presi- dent’s interest in the agreement is so great thar the committee is not dis- posed to bear the responsibility of en- compassing its defeat by the pigeon- hole metnod. It was said that a special meeting of the committee probably would be called for Friday to consider the agree- ment. By reason of the absence of Senator Aldrich the session will be presided over by Senator Burrows. It is known that the Michigan member is opposed to the agreement and that he will be joined by Semators Hale, McCumber and Bailey and probably by . Appendicitis. How to avoid it.

The stained glass representation of the “Peddler and His Dog” was remov- ed from Lambeth church a quarter of a century ago owing to the alleged in- congruity of introducing the figure of a dog in a church window. Quite re- cently Chancellor Prescott of Carlisle refused a faculty for a stained glass window' in a Westmorland church be- cause the design included a dog, and perhaps the only existing examples of dogs used for ecclesiastical decorations are to be found in Lord Brownlow’s private chapel at Ashbridge. In this church che stained glass window de- plcts Tobias and Sara in bed and a dog sleeping on the quilt, while in an- other window Job is shown being mocked by three men, one of whom is holding a dog by a chain.—Westmin- ster Gazette.
