| London, July 6.—It is reported
that the wives of the British
peers are trying hard to induce

British Parliament bill, because
they dread the imminent creation
of several hundred new peers, with
whose wives they would then have
to associate. The loss of the veto

Outrowed Them

The Belgians were well beaten,
being outrowed completely by the
Ottawa men, who finished in good
condition. There is great interest
in the final, in which the Ottawas
meet the Magdalen College eight.
The latter are a strong crew, and
the betting is principally in their
favor.

Second Case Does not Nullify
the First—Strange Plight of
Rev. George M. Atlas.

 

 

(Canadian Press Despatch)

Toronto, July 7.—An interesting
case has arisen in the Ontario
courts. Rev, G...M. Atlas, a
Présvyi& iat’ miSsionary¥, was “re=
cently sentenced to seven years
in the penitentiary for perjury
and theft. He was convicted on
the evidence of a Macedonian
who swore that Atlas had bribed
him to commit the perjury. On

a second jury has found Atlas
innocent. The man whose tes-
timony sent Atlas to the peni-
tentiary, has been declared un-
trustworthy by the jury at the
second trial.

But the judgment in the second
case does not reverse the judgment
in the first case, so Atlas has been
taken back to the penitentiary.
Mr. Justice Riddell, who heard the
second trial will bring the matter
before the Minister of Justice, and
ask for a pardon for the prisoner.
