LONG DISTANCE WIRELESS Report of the British Technical Committee Issued In London LETTER FROM HOMO WHAT IS ENCAGING THE ATTENTION OP THE CITIEZNS JUST NOW. Tha TMohlnfj of ProfMMr Jaokton GIVM OffMIM 10 Sum. Sir JaiDM Whitney'! Pr.t.nt. Profes>or Oeorge Jackaon, whose opin- ions have been again creating contro- versy, baa been the stormy petrel of the- ology in Canada ever BIH.-O u.o arrival some ii or eTn years ago. Meeting Professor Jackson, one would nerr for a moment suspect that ther was any- thing stormy about him. Ha ta a mild- mannered gentleman of the scholarly type, almost different in manner and ap- parently shrinking from the publicity which bin opinion* Inevitably bring him. There la no doubt, however, that to ia a man of great mental force and Cunad*. will lose intellectual color by reason of his departure, which U to MXe place almost immediately. In Sharbourn* Strait Church. Professor Jackson came to Toronto from the British Wesleyan Conference as a loan for a three-year-term an pastor of Bher- bourne St. Methodist Church, probably the moat artistocratic congregation in the Methodist denomination in Toronto. Im- mediately hU sermons, and particularly hi! addressee to his Sunday afternoon Bible Class began to attract attention. Rumora reached the cars of the strict disciplinarians, who decided that action should be taken. Though Professor Jack- son has maintained that hia addrcaues were semi-private and not intended for publication, excepting In book form, stepe were taken to secure shorthand report*. The publication of one of these in the local press aroused a storm of contro- verity. The matter finally went before the Toronto Conference, where, after a discuaaion lasting several days, in which the most heated arguments and state- ments were used. Dr. Jackson'* friend* came out on top, thua averting any di- rect discussion in the larger arena of the general Methodist Conferee ce of Can- ada. At the conclusion of his pastorate at Sherbourne Street, a place was made for him at Victoria College, hi* appointment being to the chair of the English Bible. Now. after four years' service there, h,- in returning to England. A Lovjbii Man. By those who know him best. Profes- sor Jackson is described as a most lov- able man. The teaching which is moit strongly aesailod is that concerning the historical and scientific value of the de- scription of the creation of the world in the first chapters of Genesis and of some of the other incidents of the Old Testa- ment. There has also been some question a* to his teaching concerning the falli- bility of Christ Naturally, his discus- sion of these points gavo offense to :h- * who accept the literal inspiration of the Holy Scriptures. Hia critics have not he- sitated to describe him as a "destroyer of faith and hope." His friends bitter- ly reeent any such comment. He baa shown the capacity of arousing the wnrm- est loyalty, both by reason of his intel- lectual power* and his persona! qualities. Th~ latest controversy arose from newspaper report of one of his addr<RBf*B. Th-.s. Dr. Jackson maintains, was aboo- lutely unfair, misleading and Inaccurate. His general attitude is that it Is only In book form that such discuMlona as he has to offer should b* given broadcast to the public. This gives ample opportu- nity T'. make hi* meaning clear and en- suree perusal under circumstances where readers will not get false impressions through hasty understanding. His publi- cations now run up towards a down volume*. Sir James Ctti a Motor Car. For many years Sir James Whitney's chief recreation has been riding a bicycle. Every day when the weather was fine he has been accustomed to take his iron steed and go for a half-an-hour or an hour'* ride through the well paved re- sidential district of Toronto. It always impressed visitors with the democracy of Ontario's first Minister when they were fortunate enough to get a glimpse of him riding sedately and slowly along. No more, however, will this sensation be vouchaafnd, for. as an exceedingly grace- ful contribution on the part of his fol- lowers in the Legislature, a splendid new automobile was the other day prcmited to the Premier. Sir Jnnics. and also his family, will no doubt find the automobile a great convenience and comfort, but some folks have their suspicion that when he has time and opportunity sir James will continue occasionally to take a spin on his old bicycle. When Toronto Was Captursd. Toronto has so little hietory of a ro- mantic sort that considerable attention Is being paid to the events of 100 years ago this month, when, for a, short time, the town was in the possession of the Americans. The chief incident* of that memorable action were the landing of the American forces at a point juit west of the present Exhibition Grounds, about where the new Sunnyside Station stands, the blowing up of a powder magazine nt the old fort, with the consequent de- struction of a large number of Ameri- cana and the burning of many public buildings, including the parliament hoUBe of that day. which stood <>n the Bay front near the foot of the pit-went Parlia- ment street. The Canadians were over- powered by numberi. there being some- thing like 500 British regulars and Ca- nadian militia, while the American forc- es numbered about 2,400 strong. The smallness of these figures shows us how our ideas ol warfare have changed In the past century. Historically, there has always been controversy us to whether the maeaimv* wvro blown up by accident or by denlgn of the Canadians. In the sec- ond explosion. Geberal Pike, who was in command of the invading forces, was among the number blown up. SEEDING IN THE NORTH-WEST Th Acreage of Whmt Is Not In- created, Which in a Good Sign. A despatch from Winnipeg says : The Free Press fortnightly crop re- port, baaed on telegraphic report* from 207 points in the three western Provinces, shows that seventy-five per cent, of the seeding is done, 114 point* having reported 75 per cent, or more. The acreage in wheat ia not increased ovr 1912, and there may be a alight decrease. This ia regarded aa a good sign, as farm- er!) are apparently realizing the danger of late seeding and are de- voting their attention to land that was prepared last year. Only three points report an actual need of rain. Wet snow has fallen very generally in Southern Alberta, About the only section where addi- tional moisture was needed. With reference to .the seeding on stubble Land without rep lowing, the figures would indicate that from 25 to 30 per cent, of the wheat crop had gone on land in this condition. Very many points report the ground as too soft for the use of motor tractors. The reports almost all declare that, while seeding is, on the whole, considerably later than in 1912, the condition of the ground is so good and there have been so few draw- backs that on the whole the seed- ing is actually as far in advance as it wa& on the corresponding date of last year. ard with a better general outlook for the season. 'JO BARS WERE CUT OFF. Local Option and Other Causes Contributed the Result. A despatch from Toronto says : Nearly ninety bars went out of business with the last day of April, either as the result of local option or in response to petitions to the License Commissioners. Legislation came into effect in Queensland, Australia, last month in connection with the liquor traf- fic, which among other penalties con- tains the following : Selling intoxi- cating drinks to an intoxicated per- son or habitual drunkard. Selling to any person apparently under the age of 21. To any insane person or one reasonably suspected to be in- sane. To any female in any bar or in any room adjacent to a bar which is especially set apart for drinking purposes, a fine not loss than $50 or more than $190. Anyone selling liquor to an aboriginal or Polyne- sian shall be fined 9100 or imprison- ed for one month. Sale hours are between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m., with bars shut on Sundays. Good Fri- day, Christmas Day, and on polling days in either the State or Com- mon-wealth elections. Items of News by Wire Notes of Interest as to What Is Going; on All Over the World Canada.

Blamed for Fires at Aberdeen and Bradford. A despatch from Aberdeen, Scot- land, aays: One of the public schools of this city was partly burned on Saturday morning by militant suffragettes, the damage amounting to $2.500. A large quan- tity of suffrage literature was found scattered about the building. A despatch from Bradford, Eng- land, says : ExtiMisive sheds be- longing to the Midland Railway and containing quantities of freight were burned down here during Fri- day night, causing a loss of $500.- 000. Mysterious tiros have broken out in these Sheds on three succes- sive Friday nights. The militant suffragettes were suspected of ar- son, but there was no proof of this. The latest fire was evidently incen- diary, as the firemen discovered i that, it had been started simultane- ously in several parts of the- build- ing, which is '250 yards long by 50 vards wide.

BAD BLAZE AT ENGLEHART Fire Wipes Out the Wooden Blocks, Causing a Loss Estimated at $125,000 A despatch from London says : The report of the Technical Com- mittee appointed by Postmaster- General Samuel to consider the var- ious system* of long-distance wire- less, particularly in relation to the proposed Imperial chain ol wireless station*, was issued on Thursday night. The report declares: "The Marconi system at present ia the only system whereol it can be said with any certainty that it is capable of fulfilling the requirements of an Imperial chain, but this must not be taken to imply that in our opin- ion the Marconi company mut ne- cessarily be employed as contrac- tors for all the^ work required for the 'Imperial ch'ain. Indeed, in some respects it might, we think, be better for the Government thanMclves to undertake th con- struction of equipment necessary for the sta/tipnfi." The committee think it undesira- ble that the Post office should be pledged to the continued use o( any existing apparatus or be subject to any penalty by way of continued royal tio.v With a trained staff and an engineer of special knowledge standing at the head of the testing, and, if necessary, the further de- veloping of any new invention or improvement, the committee see "no reason why the Postofflce wire- less stations should not be ulti- mately equipped with apparatus far more efficient than that now used in any so-called system, more espe- cially as the Postoffico will be able to combine in epite of the existing pa-U'nt rigihts on apparatus or de- vices which because of the existence of such rights cannot now be com- bined by anyone ele."
