In connection therewith was the resignation of James M. Carmichael, as asses- sor and collector. It was further recommended that Harry Birch be made assistant to the treas- urer at the salary of $125 per month, and that P. Lorenson ,the present building inspector be al- so assessor at $150 per month, The report of the finance committee upon the resigna- tion was adopted and Ald. Bul- lock-Webster then asked if any pressure had been brought to bear to bring about the resigna- tion of Mr. Carmichael. The mayor pointed out that the motion had been carried and therefore the alderman was out of order, He further informed the alderman that he had no right to make such insinuations without mentioning any basis for them whatever. In connection with the treas- urer’s report was a recommen- dation that Mr. Carmichael be FINANCIAL STAFF OF C made cashier of the finance de-} partment at a salary of $110 per month. This started some dis-} cussion, Ald. Bullock-Webster | seconded by Ald. Maitland, con- tending that all appointments) should be made by the council by } ballot. The former said the pre-! sent presented a good opportun- | ity to introduce this system and asked if the ruling section of the council could not rely upon its | majority to permit such a bal-| lot. The mayor said that if council called for a ballot it} would of course be taken. To, make the © situation perfectly | clear he called upon Ald. Naden, | chairman of the finance commit- | tee, to explain matters. | Ald. Naden said the finance | committee had gone over the re- | port of the treasurer, and the matters connected therewith, very carefully and given to each and every point - consideration, From the early part of the year they had given more considera- tion to the staff handling the city funds than to anything else. It was in consequence of the‘re- port made by the city treasurer last Monday that these changes in the staff were recommended, the | EXPRESS COMPANIES HAVE REDUCED RATES One Basing Rate to Prince Ru- pert Now Instead of Two —Material Reduction Both the Canadian and the Do- minion Express companies an- nounce that a change of rates to Prince Rupert went into effect on the first of this month, By the new scale there will be a con- siderable reduction in charges on parcels of small weight.

Pearse, engineer at Archie MeDougall’s camp, was united in marriage to Miss Alice Fryer, who arrived in the city from Vancouver on the Princess May.

TY HALL REORGANIZED UNDER NEW HEAD Several Changes Made Necessary For Reasons of Economy and Efficiency---Harry Birch Promoted to be Asssistant to the City Treasurer in the endeavor to place the | city’s financial affairs under one responsible head. The finance committee believed the proposed changes would be more econo- mical, and, what was far more important than mere economy, would prove more efficient. They could not expect really good work except under one head, and sith the system Mr. Johnstone was starting the city would be able to economize still further. The committee felt that if they had been handling their own money instead of that of the city they would have taken just this same course. Ald. Kerr said in decreasing the staff congratulations were due to the committee, but he no- ticed the assessor was to be paid $150 per month instead of his former salary of $420 in an- other position. He did not be- lieve there was any work for an assessor until sometime next March. The mayor said the = assess- ment work should start this year so as to bring the new as- sessment before the new council as early in the year as possible. (Continued on Page 4.)

In the meantime large num- bers of the striking farm labor- ers are returning to work, (Special to The Daily News.) Dublin, Oct. 7—The deadlock between the employers and the striking transport workers is complete. There seems no im- mediate prospect of any settle- ment of the dispute. Sir Edwin Askwith, the officia! strike break- er, and his commissioners of the Board of Trade, submitted to both sides this morning a set of proposals to form a basis of dir- ect negotiations between the dis- putants. These proposals were accepted by the men but the em- ployers were unable to agree. The report of the commission- ers condemns the demands made by the employers that the men shall not join the transport EVIDENCE POINTS T0 MURDER BRAINS AND BLOOD FOUND LOCAL POLICE WORKING ON AN APPARENT MURDER CASE— WATCHMAN HEARD SCREAMS OF WOMAN IN THE NIGHT Ottawa, Oct. 7.-Under the in- structions of the government the secret service agents attached to the Dominion police are watch ing the development of the Ul- ster movement in the several cit- ies of Canada, notably Toronto and Winnipeg. Any attempt in Canada to aid the proposed Car- son rebellion is likely to land the Dominion conspirators in a criminal court. and possibly in the penitentiary. That a terrible murder was|bankment and thrown in. At the night permission to put up a retaining the excava- permis- eommitted in Prince Rupert. last night is borne out by certain evi- dence gathered by the city police this morning. About ten o’clock a message was received at the police headquarters that such a deed had been committed but up to the present it has not been as- certained who gave the informa- tion. All that has been learned is that the message came over the telephone line to the cold storage plant at Seal Cove. There is an extension of this line from the office to the engine room and the instrument’ in the lat- ter place is used by fishermen and anyone who cares to use it. The party sending the message immediately hung up the recei- ver without giving any name. Chief Vickers, however, at once despatched two of his men, Constables Shiel and Bayley to the locality described, a point on the G. T. P. right-of-way, some- where. between the cold storage plant and the dry dock, The con- stables returned from _ their search about one o’clock but re- fuse to divulge any information as to what they had learned. It is reported, however, and on fairly good authority that they found a portion of the brains of a human being and that blood was plainly in evidence on the rocks for some distance, indi- cating that the body had been place where the blood was found the road bed for the railway is sustained by a concrete wall built in the water which is very deep. The indications according to reports are that the body was thrown over the coping. There is some additional in- formation to indicate that an awful crime was committed. At a late hour last night the watch- man on the Albert Meyer, which is lying at anchor nearly oppo- site the place where the evidence was found, heard the screams of a woman who was apparently being maltreated. Further developments are anx- iously awaited. Since the above was written a “News” representative visited the scene of the supposed trag- edy which is at the point where the second-retaining wall this side of where the cold storage plant is located. Between two rocks’ there was a large pool of clotted blood which had _ been sufficent to form a stream ac- ross the right-of-way and run down the steep wall. The police have since report- ed that an empty 30-30 shell had been found near this place. Pig- ces of hair were found but they do not appear to be human hair, A sample of the blood has been given to Dr. Cade to make a re-~ dragged to the edge of the em- port on. Chicago, Oct. 4.—Lord North- cliffe’s views on woman suffrage have aroused a storm of disap- proval from the leaders of the movement in Chicago.
