AUGUST 28, 1912 oday nos Pro Excellent, Program of Races and Different Events on Platform before Grand Stand Judging of Various Exhibits on List of Entries Double Other Years A- Good Midway. The Agricultural Society s Fair was officially opened today and the great crowd of visitors who are in the cit) record one. The program of horse, racing is a good one, and besides the different artists will give a performance on the stand in front of the grand stand. will no doubt make the attendance for opening day a troupes of The exhibit- ors, many of whom worked all night, have everything in shape and it will get away to a good start. The Hat's big fair is in full swing today. The races are on, the artists are ready to do thir turns before the stand. The hoopla games, the palm- ist are on the scene. The various Duljdings are loaded to capacity with exhibits of all kinds. Yesterday the grounds was a regu- lar hive of industry. Rigs carrying exhibits were rushing to-and fro, exhibitors were at work arranging their wares so that they would be shown to advantage. The buildings as arranged this year are much bet- ter than previous years, and with the big additions give the whole place a much better appearnace. In every way the fair is ahead of last year. We have double the entries this year that we had last says presi- dent Fleming. The midway, one of the big fun makers of a fair, is a great one this year. It is much big- amusement or coin *-extractors, which ever you like to call them. If there is anything about your palm that you cannot find out by a tour along the midway then it is not worth knowing. All the exhibits were not placed yesterday and so some of the build- Ings presented a rather disorderly appearance, but all workers were rushing so as to be prepared for the big crowds today. There are all kinds of meal tents, refreshment booths on the grounds to satisfy the wants of the-inner man. The horse entries this year jn- clude some fine animals, including Hossen s Belgian's, which is an add- ed attraction and will no doubt create a great interest. Vegetables, fancy work, cookery, etc., 1s there in abun- dance. . Brougham and O'Hara's big dis- play of soft drinks Is an attractive Lone, and neatly arranged. A big feature of the fair this year js the excellent poultry. show it is equal nearly to the big show con- ducted by the Poultry Association on the City Hall, The judging in this department was started yesterday. It will be general all over today and a big share of it. completed by to- night. At-the Hat show the champion Bel gium stallion, Robert, will appear, and no doubt make the same impres- sion on horsemen as et the places he was shown last year, Many other horses of the same stamp; owned by Mr, Hazen, but of different ages, will be shown, and they will clearly dem- gnstrate that the Belgium breed can- not be beaten as draft and farm horses, and peuple will readily under- stand why they take the principle prizes In all exhibitions and shows. In 1909 Mr. Haazen negotiated a cbn- tract with the French Canadian Pro- vinelal government of Quebec, which was executed In the spring of 1910, after which he came to the west and Tocated at Regina. He had a spien- did show at the Regina Dominion Exhibition of 1911, securing cham- pionship and gold medal with atatlion Robert de Luke Ceeck (344 Imp.). This year In March he has imported 40 stallions and mares to the west. They are all sold, and now he is mak- ing a second importation, most of which are already spoken for. For instance, Reve d'Or, (No. F406) Bel- gium stallion, took championship and sweepstakes over all breeds in the heavy draft at the famous, universal Exhibition of Paris in 1900. Mr. Hazen does not figure doing much business now. He planned to do a kind of investment buying these horses. The Belgium owners bring them over with all the risks and Place them in different districts all over the West, so that the people who get them can qa their unparalleled qualities by eWferience, so that their neighbors will be able to appreciate them, Belgium horses are well known to Possess the Kindest disposition of any breed, and do the greatest amount of work in return for smallest cost and trouble. A Belgium: gelding at Ant- werp regularly pulls 10,000 kflograms. They also mature quickly, many do- ing hard work at two years, and are exceptionally good breeders. There is no doubt but what these horses will soon be very largely used in agticul+ tural districts of the west, as they are more adapted for that purpose than any other, breeds, THE DEEPER INVESTIGATION GOES, THE MONE HIDEOUS ARE THE FACTS REVEALED N. Y. District Attorney Finds Houses With New Form of Social Evil. os a EXPENSIVELY FURNISHED PAID BIG PROTECTION Young Girls Were Kent at the Beck and Call of the Owners. (W. A. P. Dispatch) New York, Aug. 28 Searching along the trail of police blackmail that ledup to the murder of: the gambler, Herman Rosenthal, the at- torney now reports a form of social eyil from which collossal graft is yielded. This blackmail, he says, was obtained from about a dozen houses in this city, each of which paid from 1500 to 2000 a month for police protection to the inspector in whose districts they were situated. District Attorney Whitman had learned these houses paid a high rate for protection . These houses were expensively furnished and decorated. Only the proprietor and a few ser- vants liye in them, Callers are shown a list of names of girls who could be called upon to come to the house when wanted. Opposite the nates of these girls were their ages and the lists in the hands of the district at- torney show that the ages of these girls ranged anywhere from 15 to 18 years. Assistant District Attorney Smith has been investigating this form of disorderly house graft for several weeks and the results of his investi- gation will probably produce a sen- sation.

THREATEN TO MOVE TO CANADA NEXT Premier Says That He Thinks Canadian Women je-of Handlin; Own Question. (C. A. P, Cable.) London, Aug. . For nearly an hour this morning Premier Borden fact was perfectly listened courteously and patiently to the speeches of the, five ladies form- ing the deputation of the Women's Social and Political Union, the or- ganization which gained notoriety through its militant suffrage. The meeting was in the Savoy Ho- tel, the Canadian Premier receiving the quintette in his private sitting room., The deputation comprised Rachael Barrett, Barbara Wylie, Mrs. Tuckwell, Winnifred Mayo and Evelyn Sharp. Three of these ladies had been in prison, a fact mentioned by one of the speakers. Premier Bor - remarked to-a-tater-deputation, who waited on him a few minutes after the first had withdrawn, that he had little to complain of in their manner of putting their case be'ore him. The meeting as a matter of pleasant. Only militant methods might be urged upon their adherents in Canada, was there any, tendency to break the cor;, diality of the gathering. The Prem- ier quietly but firmly answered this hint by the plain intimation that no sort of procedure outside of argu- ment and reason would have the slightest weight with him. Miss Barrett took this intimation quietly and the relations between the Prem- ier and his interviewers was very friendly, the ladies appearing well pleased with the reception tendered them although it cannot be said they took away anything very definite. Miss Barrett: in opening the speech making, said they took it almost for granted that Mr. Borden was favor- able to women s suffrage. Premier Borden You must not take anything for granted. I have not had much time to consider the matter. I do not know whether you have studied the Canadian constitu - tion, Miss Barrett We are practical politicians. We want to talk to you as such. We want to know whether you will announce on your return to Canada that you intend to introduce and carry a measure giving votes to women on the same terms as men. That is the real object of this de- putation. We have an organization in Canada the women there have asked what they are to do to bring about enfranchisement. Miss Barrett continuing, said she did not want to go into the reason why. women should have votes but any ountry where women had votes its laws were likely to give justice to women. She admitted she was. not expert in Canadian affairs, but had heard from Canada of the justice of the Dower law. Premier Borden This is a matter in which I have no great powers; it rests with the different provinces. Miss Barrett We have had letters bearing on this matter in which Can- adian women realize the injustice of the Homestead law. We have women trained in Agricultural Colleges, yet the law of Canada miakes it that they cannot hold land except under special conditions. Continuing, she said that men would be inclined to emigrate to these countries where their women folk find themselves in a state of political freedom. Ye have been definitely consider- ing, she went on, whether we are to hold a great propaganda advis - ing women not to emigrate to Can- and but to chose colonies where they. the vote. very Canedian statesman ou: to think an important question.

Portage La Prairie, Man.,.Aug. 28. Heavy rain stopped harvesting opera- tions all over the plains yesterday, and, although It will be some days be- fore cutting is general again, a few of the farmers have decided to-con tinue operations at noon today. if the bright weather of this morning con- tinues. In the MacDonald district tomor- row will be the earliest cutting that can be resumed and around Oakville it is not thought likely that the farm- ers will be able to get to their crops earlier than Friday midday. Indications at midnight were for slight frosts but no damage from that cause is reported. .

The Mayor, at a meeting of the souncil last night, said there was one thing the Aldermen should do inthe interest of the citizens. They should try to have a good clean pity. There were two slaughterhouses within. the city limits, and the owners of these should be made to live up to the by-laws of the city referring to these places. The report of their visit was published in the Daily News, and he did not think any of the Aldermen had to retract anything they then said. Mr. Mitchell was taking steps to fix place so that it would conform with the by-laws. His son had stated to him (Mayor) that they intended to put, in a cement floor, and have a sewer connection made, and also make arrangements to have flies kept off the meat. A copy of the by-law was given to Mr. Mitchell They told him they expected him to live up to the by-law, and he (the Mayor) thaught they would do 80. So far as Bell was concerned they ad not heard from him at all. In his opinion Mitchell's slaughter house was on Saturday when they visited them, in better condition than Bell's. He could not. see that Bel has com- plied with the by-law in any single thing. The water mains were laid out there, and he thought fhey should pass a resolution that if they did not comply with the by-law that the slaughterhouses he closed. Ald.
