Copyright, 1823, i OTTAWA, Ont., September 21.—In- | Quiries at the Canadian ministry of | Justice warrant the statement um; the statement that the Deminion gov- ernment will do all in its power to eliminate pavticipation from this side of the border in violations of the prohibition law of the United Statee.
