The defeat of the Htrst conservative Government In Ont- ario and the election of four substan-croup- s to the Legislative Assembly Ion with several Individual Indepen-am- ts creates a new situation In Cana- da politics.

Two or three Individual candidates are credited with the state ment during the campaign tnat air a4m Beck, the hydro-pow- er projector. as their leader. But the situation is farther complicated by the defeat of Sir Adam Beck by a labor man In London. If the farmers are In earnest In wanting him for leader. It Is possible that Sir \William Hearst would be willi- ng; to unite with him In a coalition mini- stry. But Sir Adam Is not popular !th either conservatives or Liberals. ar.d fear of his autocratic methods may be the bar to a coalition with nlm. The farmers may prefer a less brill- iant leader. In the event of the farm- ers being unwilling to enter a coalition, snother election will be necessary. In that event Hartley De Wart would be returned to power. The defeat of Sir Adam Beck Is Interp- reted as a check to his ambitious plans for extension of hydro-electri- c power lines and radial Tallways and- - the vote Silnst him therefore Is welcomed as a reeded brake on the financial responsl Ullty of Ontario. Members of the Federal Parliament re naturally ourprlsed at tho progress made by the United Farmers In conserva- tive Ontario. A farmers' sroup In the reit Federal Parliament of eighty mem bers would be a logical sequence, based cn the Ontario vote. Tho provinces and Ontario are strong areas for organlied farmers, but Quebec and the maritime provinces will remain true to the older political allegiance. It is believed. ?few Conllton In Likely. In that event, a coalition Ministry of ths Liberals and tha Farmers would be formed, and ba an expression of the Irony of fate In politics, and a turn of ite wheel against the coalition, which forcH conscription on Quebec and the rarmers during tho war. Incomplete returns from the referen dum on prohibition show that In a total vote reported of 392,24 3, a majority of 11.56! declared against repeal of the Canadian temperance act; 40,197 against the sale of beer In Government shops, M.249 majority against hotel bars, and I1.S03 apjilnst sale of spirits In Govern- ment fhops. It Is certain the rural dis- tricts to be heard from will Increase the majorities. There were no women elected to the Legislature. Of the) 39 farmers elected, eighteen were formerly Conservatives na :i Liberals. OTTAWA APPROVES SALMON PROTECTION Commons Votes for Fisheries Convention With U. S. a Staff Corrtipondtnt of Thi Sex.

Parliament Is again debating the Grand Trunk proposal. The defeat of tho Hearst government and of Sir Adam Bock Is n. distinct roverso for Govern-- , mcnt ownership projects. Nevertheless, the Government will press the deal through and look for encouragement out of the operation of the system. The decisive vote for prohibition In Ontario means that tho amendments to tho Canada temperance act and the JJoh-crt- y act, giving tho provinces power to prevent Importation and manufacture of liquor, will bo carried this session. A return mada to tho Senate shows that In Canada for tho year ending March 31, 1919, 191 Illicit distillery op- erations wore discovered and 149 Illicit stills seized. Since April 1 to date In this year 424 Illicit distillery operations have been discovered and 316 Illicit stills havo been seized. The newly created Department of Health will In futuro havo cxcluslvo right to lssuo licenses to Import or ex- port opium, cocaine, morphine and drugs of related character. A recent return to tho House shows that imports In 1915 amounted to 30,360 ounces! nnd In 1919 to 215,685 ounces, nnd atn cost of 31, 690,356 for the one year. SUGAR PIRATES BIG DEAL BARED BY RUSE Continued from Firtt rage. chicken and 3 cents on pork loins over the Government price. The new plan was suggested by Dr. Day with the Idea \of eliminating nn unnecessary middleman\ and bringing down the cost to the consumers. Mr. SUz said tho plan was agreeable to him. The retail butcher will get his own army meats from tho Government ware- house. He will be allowed 5 cents n pound to cover handling. Pork loins will cost him 25 cents and chicken 30 cents. . , Col. Carson said yesterday 7,000,000 pounds of frozen corn fed beef are available to the retail trade at 15 cents n pound, a cut of 1 cents under the former price. There are between 600,000 and 700,000 pounds of frozen mutton which butchers can havo at 12 cents a pound. The Colonel said there is a big demand for pork loins and he Is try- ing to get additional supplies from other zones. CoL Carson will talk over the distribu- tion plan with representatives of the ll butchers at Mr. 'Williams's offlce, 130 lEast Fifteenth street, this after- noon. Dr. Day announced he city will be- gin y to sell brown sugar from the navy's surplus In tho school stores. There are 200,000 pounds In sight. Each store wfll .be allowed 1,000 .pounds for sale In two pound packages at 10 cents a pound. Groups of fifty will be permitted to. buy n 100 pound bag. Strictly fresh near by hennery eggs brought 31 a dozen In a number of re- - tall stores yesterday. This Is the high- est price for eggs within the memory of some of the oldest roosters In the trade. DANIELS TO RELEASE 1,500 TONS OF SUGAR Secretary Says Navy Has Sur plus in Reserve. Washington. Oct 21. Advised that the Xa'vy Department has In rescrvo 9,000,000 pounds of sugar. Secretary Daniels y Intimated that he would release one-thir- d of the stock for public use to relieve the situation resulting from a nationwide shortage. The present supply of the navy. Sec retary Daniels said, was sufficient for six months. As only a three monthi surplus usually Is kept on hand, Mr. Dalnels Indicated It would be unjust to retain more than that amount now when the entire country Is experiencing a shortage. The War Department, however, unlike tha navy, found y that Its supply was running low, the supply being esti- mated as barely sufficient to last until December 15. Quartermaster-Gener- al Itogers accordingly wired all zone offi cers that sales of sugar to any one per son In the service must be limited to not more than six pounds a month and to not more than twenty-fou- r pounds a month for each family. Federal control of the sugar crop was opposed y before the Senate Agri- culture Committee by C. A. Spreckels, a New York refiner, who blamed Govern- mental Interference for the existing sutTSr situation. There is no shortage, he said, although the supply Is \dislocated.\ One million tons of the 1919 crop will be available before January 1, he added, to relieve the present situation. Mr. Spreckela said he would not ob- ject to Government control If It would reduce the price to the consumer. In- stead, he Insisted, It has brought about an Increase In price. \If the matter were left to the law of supply and demand It would soon get down to a proper basis,\ he added.

S, SAYS HEDGES Men nnd \Women of Canndinn Club Told America Never Will Bo Isolated. NO TOVERTYJIE DECLARES War Correspondent Among tho Speakers at Monthly Dinner at Biltmore. Tho Canadian Club of New Tork, which keeps the thought of the mother Dominion constantly In tho minds of her New York cons and daughters by getting them tocothtr with frequency and In numbers, held one of 1U monthly dinners nt tha IIot.M Biltmore last night, with music to stir tha pulses and oratory to rouse tho soul. Tho speakers were Job E. Hedges, George Herbert Perrls, the English war correspondent, and Mark Sheldon, Com- missioner from Australia. Miss Edith Dodge Stncl.itr ana Charles Hart sang between the tpeeohes. Every now and then the men and women fathered at tho tables sang \America\ and \God Save the King.\ It was Mr. Hedges, whoso repute for after dinner wit Increases as the years go on, who held the attention of the diners In the longest speech of the eve ning, and upon matters touching the American character ns It must or may appear to travellers newly In this coun try. His address was In the main prompted by remarks of Mr. Perrls, who receded him and who made It clear that ha did not as yet have his New York by rote. \I am surprised,\ Mr Perrls had said, \to find that there Is so thriving a club of Canadians In this city; but then I cannot be expected to keep abreast of all that has been going on on both sides of the Atlantic these last few years, for the last Bpeech I can remember to havo made was at a gathering of correspon dents In a subcellar forming part of the citadel of Verdun the night before the first Verdun battle. Mr. Perrls then explained that from the war front he had been despatched to Paris to report tho deliberations of the Peace Conference and told his hearers that some sort of a covenant or agree- ment between the great Powers of the world was necessary to the world's peace. \You can't expect a perfect piace or a perfect league,\ he said. \I Bay with all reverence that even If archansels In- stead of statesmen had met at Uie con- ference the peace formulated would have been no better than the best possible In the tlmo allowed and at tho time.\ Wherefore Mr. Hedges, when his turn came, explained that neither Mr. Perrls nor ny other newcomer to American soil was to worry about the heart and conscience of this nation. \You must not givo too great a credi- bility,\ he Insisted, \to persons you will hear on platforms and elsewhere claim- ing to represent the people without au- thority from the people, and clamoring for the rights of the downtrodden when there are no downtrodden. There are no poor In the United States. The onlr ones who are losing money are those who already have money: a few are paying out.some of their accumulation In wages to worthy mechanics, who some- times give them something for their money and sometimes do not. \You must understand there arc two classes of government Inj the United States, government by thoiie In office and thoBe out. Ultimately tho voice of the people is heard and it dominates. It was the people, not the orators, who went to war and helped win It. On the score of the world's future you can all make your minds easy: the United States, whether It becomes part cf a league or not. never can live In an Isolated fash- - Ion when right and wrong make up tne Issue.\ RECALL ELECTION FALLS.

An at- tempt to retire the city administration In a recall election here to-d- failed through defeat of opponents to the pres- ent Mayor and- - City Commissioners by overwhelming majorities. The Issue In the campaign was the conduct of the administration and police department during the street car men's strike In Au- gust, during which five strike sympa- thizers were shot and killed. The election concluded one of tho most bitter campaigns eter waed In tha city and tho vote was one of the largest ever polled. Both sides claimed to be nght-In- g for law and order, while the ticket boasted of the un- official backing of organized labor. BRAZIL DENIES SALE OF SHIPS. Seized German Vessels Are Only Chartered 4o France. Rio JAicrmo, Oct. 21, The Brazilian Government denies a published report that Brazil had offered to sell to France the former German ships now In Brazil's possession. The Government's statement explains that the ships In question have been operated by France under a charter, which expired on March 31, 1919, and was renewed at the request of France with the stipulation that new terms be arranged at a later date. Negotia- tions to this end had not been con- cluded, but would bo continued with the French Ambassador, Alexandre Conty, who has just arrived at Rio Janeiro. Upholding Brazil's right to the posses- sion of the ships the statement denies that the Peaco Conferenco decided to divide them among the allied and asso- ciated Powers. lightens HE SUN, WEDNESDAY.

Tho most prominent surgeons of Amer- ica, represented at the ninth nnnual ses- sion of the Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons, meeting at tho Waldorf-Astori- a, are by no means ready to concede that the youth of hu- man beings can bo restored by the substi- tution of Interstitial glands. Tho ma- jority, Including Dr. William J. ,Mayo, president of tho college, and Major-Ge- Morrltt Ireland, Surgeon-Gener- al of tho United States Army, profess such slight acquaintance with results such as Dr. Bergo Voronoff of Paris professes to have obtained by tho use of the glands of apes, that they are reluctant to express an opinion. Others openly scout the lde that the hand of Time can be stayed by any means whatever. Dr. E. L. Moorehead of Chicago stated. howover, that tho surgical profession of . i .. ... . iLT J \VT a f L' kcX. widely heralded road to youth dismissing the operation as useless, nnd that no authoritative opinion In America' will likely be forthcoming until the re- sults of experiments have been ascer- tained. The experiments along kindred lines made by Urown-Sequar- In Paris, somo several decades ngo, were cited as havJ Ing been failures, as have been also all other efforts In that direction, unless Dr. Voronoff In reality has discovered a gerf-ulne-ly rejuvenating process. .The afternoon session was occupied by teclmlcal discussions of \Brachial Palsey and Injuries of Similar Typo In Adults.\ by Dr. Alfred H. Taylor of New York, Dr. George J. Heuer of Baltimore. Dr. Alfred W.

The Bergen Beach Land Corporation, which sued out an Injunction to restrain the city from dredging a channel through Jamaica Bay, has filed a communication with the budget committee of the Board of Estimate in which It is urged that the city and land owners Join In causing the vacating of the Injunction. I The budget Includes an Item of for tha dredging of a Jamaica Bay channel provided the existing re- straining order Is vacated. The Con- gressional act authorizing the Improve- ment provides that the Government shall reimburse the city at the rate of 8 cents a cubic yard for not more than 59,000,-00- 0 cubic yards. Tho corporation, through its counsel, Truman H. and George E. Baldwin, as- serted that the War Department Tias de- clared that the provision for the reim- bursement of the city will not be made void by the adoption of minor modlfica-cation- s of the original plans as made In 1917. Uncertainty regarding the atti- tude of the Government In this connec- tion has been the principal objection to undertaking the work. The channel as originally planned would have followed lines set In 1911. Property owners had a number of ob- jections to this plan. Lines set In 1917 were favored by the owners from a com- mercial standpoint but the approval was clouded by'uncertalnty regarding the In- terpretation of the War Department of Government's liability, under the appro- priation act, to reimburse the city after the plans had been changed. With this uncertainty removed the owners urged that 'the $1,000,000 appro- priation be Included In the budget fo-t- he Improvement of Jamaica Bay the qualifying clause relating to tho Injunction. The lawyers said that there Is nothing In the restraining order preventing the city .from undertaking the Improvement on the 1911 lines. They argued that since the work has not been started the administration has not favored digging a channel on these lines. It follows they said, that since the use of 1917 lines will not deprive the city of the Government's help there Is nothing to Interfere with the prompt starting of the improvement. GERMANY ORDERED TO GIVE UP S SHIPS Supreme Council Demands Vessels Sold to Dutch. Washington, Oct. 21. Demand Is made on Germany by the Supreme War Council, In a note the text of which was made public by the State De partment, for delivery forthwith of five former German vessels which have not been turned over under tho treaty on tne pretext tnat the ships, having been sold In 1915 and 1916 by the Hamburg American Line and the Kosmos Line to Dutch shipping companies, wore correct ly not German but Dutch ships.

The charge that twelve Federal pris- oners arc to-d- In solitary confinement nt tho United States Army disciplinary uarracKs ai ron jjcaveiiwurm, rwim;.o, four under sentence of death and eight inder llfo imprisonment ns n result of \kangaroo court\ proceedings Instituted by the prison court martial following the death of an orderly from a fist fight, was made yesterday by a visitor to the an- nual congress of the American Prison Association at the Hotel Pennsylvania, where It was expected that Secretary of War Baker would speak. The man who made the attack on the Governments methods of dealing with military of fenders said he was Earle M. Humphries of 5373 Belfield avenue. Philadelphia, and that he was an who had served some months at the prison. Humphries nsserted that officers at the barracks had used the most un scrupulous m,thods In obtaining the ocnvlctlons of the men, even going to the extent of having a witness who refused to testify ngalnst the nccused men con- victed himself. This witness, he said, was a man named Harold Keyes, son of Joseph W. Keyes, president of the Mer chants Trade Reports Company, of 103 Park avenue, and a cousin of Repre- sentative Joseph A. Rowan of 244 Riv erside Drive. Partial confirmation of the story told by Humphries was obtained from Rep. resentatlve Rowan, who said the, case had been brought to his attention and that he had read the proceedings of the court-martia- l. Mr. Rowan made tne following statement: \In no civil court of law could they possibly have con- victed anybody, except two or three men who were actually In tho cell where the fight took place, any one of whom might have struck the orderly who was killed. It Is my further opinion that In any civil court they could not have convicted any of them of murder In the first degree.\ Mr. Rowan said that ho had been told that four of the men had been sentenced to death and that his cousin was among those who had been sentenced to life Imprisonment. The Congressman explained he had hesitated to make any further personal Investigation of the case lest It might be thought that he was attempting to use his official position to exert undue Influence to secure clemency. The \frameup\ resulting In the heavy penalties alleged by Humphries took place at a trial last November, five months after tho orderly lost his life In Ju), 1918, Humphries said. Of seven teen men accused twelve were convicted, he said. The accused men and the men who were later convicted had every ob stacle put In their way when they en deavored to secure counsel. When counsel was finally obtained he said the authorities Interfered with the ob- taining of the necessary witnesses. As a lesult three of them are still trying to get the benefit of habeas corpus pro ceedings, Humphries claimed. MILITARY TO DECIDE DATE. Supreme Cnnnrll IleleKatea Power ns ti Fllinif rtntlncntlonn.

He nrgucd that whllo tho coun tries were still technically at war the Banger of disturbance was great It opera was given In the German language, and that tho position of tho Mayor nnd the Pollen Commissioner was well founded both aa regards the law and public policy. Mob Wnm Expected. As somo of the service men who tried to break Into tho thentro on Mondny had been heard to say that they were coming back with a bigger gnng last night, Commissioner Enrlght decided to take no chances. Inspector Underhlll nnd Capt. Duggan had lines all around the block. Lexington avenue between Fiftieth and Fifty-firs- t street was aswarm with police on foot, and around the entire block was a barrier of blue-coat- s. There were B00 uniformed pa- trolmen on duty, 150 plainclothes men nnd twenty-fiv- e of\ the cavalry, astride their horses near tho East Fifty-fir- st street police station. Inside which were held tho reserves with their nightsticks ready.' Whoevor approached the theatre got the word from the police : \The show is off ; no performance : keep mov- ing.\ All the seats In the theatre had been sold before tho doors were closed. Chauffeurs of motor cars drove quietly away when policemen told them that their passengers could not alight. The presence of the police and the npws of what happened on Monday caused a large part of the town to flock as near as It could to the theatre. In the side streets a few youths In soldier or fujlor uniform denounced the opera people, but no serious demonstration waB attempted. Soldiers Are Dlapcrsed. A truckload of these youngsters Btoppcd In Lexington avenue nt Forty-eight- h street The service men alighted, but at that Instant came a rush of po- lice, who made the truck turn back and scattered Its lato occupants. Later twenty or thirty sailors, marching three Abreast and with one of their number waving a small American flag, paraded silently up the avenue. Inspector Un- derhlll stopped them In front of the thea-tr- e nnd told them that German opera was off fpr the night. They gave three cheers and were shooed away. A good many army and navy officers were observed In the crowds watching the proceedings from the side streets. Leaders of the American Legion were bidding their men to keep cool. At 10 o'clock Business Manager Herts said on Friday nnd Saturday afternoon and evening \Die Flcdcrmaus\ would be given as scheduled. The next number of the ttnrrlcnii Legion Weekly will say this editorially: \German opera In the German lan- guage Is not going to be a profitable enterprise n the United States this jear. The American Legion In Ecctlons whore German opera has been nttempted has elected to fight this nulsanco to tho limit. Without going Into a lot of de- tail It might be said simply that wo do not like the sound of tho German gut- turals. Tho trouble with German opera In German Is that our mind hears not the theme so much as tho shrieks of the Lusltanla's ilylnfc. Its mensured cadences picture not tender human emo- tions but a firing squad marching at tho goose step upon defenceless women nnd children. If It conjures up sequestered Bylvan glades wo seo lying thereon the moaning victims 'of poison gas. The last German opera we heard or want tOi hear was the Imperial German swan song ns rendered by Hcrr Hohenzol-ler- n November 11, 1918.\ Georgo Broknw Compton, chairman of the legion for New York county, said yesterday thnt tho legion, being 100\ per cent, American, respected law and order and therefore deplored tho events of Monday evening, which ho said were not Inspired by tho organization. He said that the loyalty of the directors of the opera company was not nt Issue ex- cept as they had associated themselves with Otto Gorltz, tho managing director. Other members of the organization said they were gathering evidence of club- bing of members of the legion by po llcemen In the vicinity of the theatro Monday night. GLAND EXPERIMENTS IN U. S. AMAZE PARIS Using Man Instead of Mon- key Causes Stir. By a Staff Corretpondtnt of The Sr.v. Copyright, 1S19; all rial'ts restrwl. Paws, Oct. 21. The amazing discov- ery of Dr. Voronoff, the Russian surseon who claims he can rejuvenate the aged by grafting an Interstitial gland, Is the subject of renewed discussion here fol- lowing the receipt of reports describing the operation aa performed In St. Quen-t- prison. In the comment here particular em- phasis Is laid on the audacity of Amer- ican surgeons In taking man for the ex- periments Instead of monkeys, such as were used by Dr. Voronoff In the be- ginning of his work. Asked If by graft- ing this vital gland he could assure not merely the prolongation and rejuve- nation of life, but could actually prevent death, Dr. Voronoff said : \Do you not know that all human organisms, young or old, are subject to the ravages of germs and microbes, and that to be able at sixty years to feel but thirty one should be able to attend to business, to be ablo to enjoy life ; In chort, to be able to do all those things Instead of miserably awaiting death, and that this Is something in lUelf. \What surprised me most,\ added the doctor, \is the astonishment of the pub- lic. My discovery is such a simple, log- ical thing. We know y that the human motor needs to be fed In order tc gencrato power. Just like other mo- tors. I asked myself where, is the mag- net of tho human motor, nnd seeking this vital organism I found that tho In- terstitial gland was the generator of power and youthfulness.\ Tiffany & Co.

Distrust of the Ju- diciary is the begin- ning of anarchy. In a free govern- ment the people may lose their faith in the executive or in the Legislature, BUT AS SOON AS THEY BEGIN TO LOSE FAITH IN THEIR JUDGES AN- ARCHY IS AT THE THRESHOLD. Only once in the history of this coun try has this condition confronted the peo- ple. That time was so ominous that a great writer, John Fiske, has called it \The Critical Period in American,. His- tory.\ Immediately after 'the Revolutionary War the people of Massachusetts be' came convinced that the Judges were not honest. What happened? It was not that the rioting itself was so serious; it was not the fact that mobs took possession of the court-hous- e and refused to let the Judges sit that made this a terrible period in our history. The great serious step was the attempt of the mob to seize the government. This was called Stay's Rebellion. Anarchy stepped in the mo- ment the people be\ gan to feel that they could not get justice from the courts. Mr. and Mrs. New Yorker, do you Real- ize that you are called on to study this very important historical and politi- cal fact? By studying it we do not mean that you should study it some- time this Winter, or sometime when you get leisure. You are called on to study it TO- NIGHT. Two weeks hence will be too late for you to consider it. Within two weeks you must go to the polls and, by casting a vote for an honest and unbossed Judiciary, de- clare against conditions that lead as directly to an- archy as does the cheap literature of the crack-braine- d agitator. Unless you vote for Jus- tices Newburger and Smith you stand as one approving of a boss-picke- d and sub- servient Judiciary. .Unless you put yourself on record you are personal- ly responsible for debasing the judiciary in this great city. Men and Women there is no compromise in this matter; if you stay away from the polls, if you neg- lect to vote, if you vote for Murphy's hand-picke- d ju- dicial favorites, you are contributing directly and personally to the same evil conditions that in 1786 pro- duced anarchy and riot.
