OLITICAL ROW GROWS BITTER Legislators of British Columbia Become Personal. P VICTORIA, B. ¢ May 2 ‘The politi- cal crisis grows apace. Following the dis- 2l of W. C. Wells, Chief Commis- r of Lands and Works, and Attorney ral D. M. Eberts when the House sat to-day, W. W. B. Mcinnis, Provineial Secretary, tendered his resignation. Col- anel Prior, the Premier, then anmounced ! that he had received a promise from the Licutenant Guvernor that he would grant a dissolution of the Legislature after the estimates and necessary _non-contentious legislation had been passed. The Attorney General said he had re- sigred, having been asked to do so. He hal not done so before because his repu- tation was at stake, considering himself | on trial at the inquiry. He was bitter regarding the action of the Premier. D. Prentice, Finance Minister, who followed, said the Attorney General had breught his dismissal on himself. ing regarding the Columbia and Western desl, he said George McL. Brown, execu- tive officer of the Canadian Pacific Rail- toad, had been assisted in 190 by the Attorney General in this matter. He re- ferred to Eberts as a ‘‘blackguard.” De- fending the Premier's course, he said that he had for colleagues “men untrue and unfaithful; cowards and Hars.” Commissioner Wells spoke, taking his dismissal philosophically. but justified his actions. He defled the Premier to show where he had been negligent. After lengthy discussion several minor matters were dealt with, and then the Government was defeated on the Pre- mier’s motion to adjourn, 16 to 13, The Premier sald he regarded the de- feated motion as a vote of non-confidence | and would ask the Lieutenant Governor to come to-morrow and dissolve the House. This would result in the province being left without funds from June. The leader of the opposition then moved an adjournment, thinking thus to demon- strate that the opposition were in power; but the Martin wing in the opposition voted with the Government, and the oppo- sition leader was defeated. After considerable discussion, in which W. W. B. Mclnnis made an effort to se- cure control, it was finally shown that it was necessary to pass supply bills and the motion to adjourn offered by the Pre- mier carried. ————— BOILER-MAXKERS TO RETURN TO WORK THIS MORNING Union Pacific Strike Is Declared Off Under the Terms of Set- tlement.

Mrs. Seccombe deserted her hus- band Thursday of last week and has since been with her mother, Mrs. R. C. Richardson, who resides on E street, nea Wesley station. The Seccombes formerly resided at 830 D street. The divorce complaint was placed on record this afternoon and the charges are rather unusual. Mrs. Seccombe says that her husband believes in the teachings of the famous vegetarian, Dr. Kellogg of Battle Creek, Mich., and that he has in- sisted on her and her children -eating nothing but vegetables and the vegeta- bles must be cooked in absolutely pure water and with no seasoning. It is al- leged that Seccombe termed meat as “‘a poisonous mess,” and allowed no butter to be eaten except the variety known as “peanut butter,” manufactured by the ‘Battle Creek people. So strict has her husband been with his diet and so closely dld he force the members of his family to follow his teachings that Mrs. See- combe alleges both she and the children were often hungry. It is because of this that Mrs. Seccombe charges her husband with failure to provide, and the same al- legations are also used to prove the charge of cruelty. The plaintiff is a sis- ter of S. W. Richardson, editor of the Berkeley Gazette. VASELINE NO GOOD FOR HAIR.
