GARVIN Turns. on Lord Northcliffe Condemns* Newspaper Trust of His Benefactor: London; Des. 28 The Pall Mall Gazette publishes a) remarkable ar- ticle early in the week from J. L, Garvin, which has been the talk of Fleet Street ever since. Mr, Garvin owes a great deal of his to the fact that he was boomed by Lord Northcliffe, and, in this article, he turns on his former patron and smites him hip and thigh. He points Lout 9 fact which was unknown here outsitle of Fleet street, that Lord PNorthcliffe is chiet proprietor of the Daily Mail, with its largest clreula- tion in the British isles, and. chief . proprietor of the Times, the greatest tradition in English journalism, Th connection between. the two papers, says Mr. Garvin, is a-moral disaster which might well make the dead Walters and the great Delane turn in their graves. Behind the national scenes, says Mr. Garvin, Lord Northcliffe has a kind of irresponsible dupeism that no man ought to be allow d by any sane other trust against which Americans ever revolted, could compare with this press trust, in reach and dan- es This is plain speaking with a ven- COME TO THE HAT AND, LEARN HOW Calgary, Dec. 28.

STRANGE THINGS ARE PREDICTED BY NAN VISITING EDMONTON Philanthro; Man of the World, Writes. Chief of Police He s Going to Get Drunk. (Special to the News) Edmonton, Alta, Dec, 23. Janies Sewell, citizen of the world, from anywhere, as he is registered in a down town hotel, where he has an ex- pensive suite, notified Chief of Police Carpenter today that he will join the prisoners at the-city jail at the New Year's dinner.

So far he has been uccessful in con- Cealing his identity, if/that is his pur- pose: But, as his business with the banks 1s conducted In, that name, it is-reasonable to presume that it ts not assumed.

He was hurriedly Temoved to the hospital, Lady Har- dinge was unhurt, but was much shaken by the explosion. The bomb was very powerful. On arrival at the hospital surgeons found that the wound in the Baron's shoulder was slight Lady Hardinge suffered severely from shock and it Was found necessary to apply sooth ing remedies. The ceretuonies were interrupted for only a short period while the vice- roy and vicereine Were being convey- ed to the hospital and vice regal residence respectiv ly. - Took. Viceroy s Place. Sir Guy Fleetwood Wlison, financial member of the council of the Gov- ernor-General of India took the vice- roy's place in the procession which then proceeded on its way through the streets of th Imperial City Durbar Camp, where a great number were gatbeved. Sir Guy then took up his position in front of the vice-regal dais and read aloud a despatch tro Baron Hardingsaying that be was only slightly injured, The reading of the message was received with pro- longed cheering. The attempt onthe Baron e life city, 35 a month. to of Rajahs and other Indian chieftains lull in the native agitation which had: at various times I d to assassin- ation of high ofticlals. The attack on Baron Hardinge by a / fanatic therefore came with greater unex- pectedness, Only a short time ago the viceroy himself wrote to th India office in London saying that the country was quiet and that the prospect for his official entry into Delhi were. most favorable, The bomb was thrown as the great procession was passing through the Chanda Chowk which s great long nargow typical Oriental street containing many. merchand- ising places. The stores were mostly one story, but some of th in rise to the: height of two stories. A street car line runs the whole length of the Chandai Chowk, but owing to the im- portance of the-day's events service had been suspended. The viceroy s: elephant was an en- ormous elephant. Between his ears guiding him in the usual native way by tapping him on the forehead with a steel spike stood an attendant. Be- hind the driver was. the great houdah, a box like construction fixed on the elephant s addle, The houdah was covered with imperial purple decor- fated with gold lace and tinsel. Ow- ing to the lowness of the houses in the Chandal Chowk the assassin, who stood on one of the roofs, was only a Ay Cost tee NB gee and. vicere- ine. The bomb, which was evidently in- tended to explode by concussion, burst with terrife force. The native holding the umbrella was blown from his position and instantly killed, while the driver sitting, in front of the houdah. was wounded in eight places. . The escape of. the Baron and Lady Hardinge was well nigh miraculous, The missile fell only a foot or two from the arget. The great procession immediately came to a standstill and a crowd of officials rushed up and found the viceroy bleeding and pale while the vicereine was terribly shaken. The police immediately surrounded the house from which the bomb was thrown and made several arrests. All the outlaws from the city were placed under strictest guard. Today's, celebration marks the car- tying out of the announcement that the king had made during the great coronation Durbar, the transfer of the eaptital of India to Delhi. This an- nouncement was made by the vice- roy. who had been created Baron: Hardinge on his appointment to of- fice and had been very busy visiting various cities in the country to in- spect the preparations for the move- ment into the yew Imperial city. Viveroy s Injuries. Three splinters of the powerful bomb which killed one native attend- ant and injured another penetrated the back and shoulder of the viceroy and le also was wounded in the neck by the scews qwith which the bomb was filled and which passed through the helmet. The doctors who removed the splin- ters from the wounds declared. t marvellous that, the viceroy escaped fatal injuries. Lady Hardinge, immediately after the explosion, asked her husband if he was burt. The viceroy replied: am all right; go on. Lady Hardinge then said: We cannot; thege is a dead man behind uw The elephant on which they were riding halted and the viceroy tried to stand up, but fainted, and the at- tendants had much difficulty in re-) moving him from the elephant's back: The houdah de which he and Lady Hardinge had been seated was blown nto matchwood. The viceroy soon will be able to leave tho hospital for the vice-regal lodge. The bomb thrower has not yet been captured. A reward of 10,000 rupees (approximately 3,900) has been of- fered for his arrest. TROTTER KILPATRICK GOING TO RUSSIA.

Washington, Dec. 21 The United States: could never submit the Pana- ma Canal controversy with Great Bri- tain to An International court of ar- bitration, declared Rep, Mann, of Iill- nols, floor leader of the house, in an) address last night at a banquet, which brought to a close here the conference of the American Society for Judicial Settlement of Internation al disputes, Several speakers duting the confer serted that the rest. of the world w: opposed to the United States in the tional court could not decide the question equitably. Rear Admiral Richard Wainwright threw another bombshell into the peace camp when he expressed. the opinion that justice and truth could not prevail without the navy back of it; the unarmed peace was such as existed in China for many years, and the pavy is the anti-toxin for war, to be taken in this country in doses of four battleships annuall: He voiced the hope that the time would. come when the great fleets of the world would be used for univer- sal peace. 7 A, message from President Taft, now on a battleship on his way to Panania, to Dr. James Brown Scott, secretary of the society, said that the president's whole dea Was that of an arbitral court for the settlement of international controversies and that he had favored the general arbitration, treaties with Great Britain and France as a long tep toward an ar- bitral court whose jurisdiction would be increased ultimately to inciude all possible disputes of an international character. That Canada n ver would break her ties with the mother country was the message given by Prof. George M. Wrong, of Toronto, who added that this union would but serve to cemegt the friendship between the two Eni- lsh speaking nations.
