With King Alexander at the time he was Iced was the French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou. King [lexander died within an hour of the attack upon him, but the rench foreign minister lingered for three hours longer, his death caused, from loss of blood. The French government had planned to extend all honor King Alexander during his stay in France and he was received ith great acclaim by the people of Marseilles when he disembark-from the Yugoslavia cruiser which carried him to the French t from which point he was to have motored to Paris in oom-ith Foreign Minister Barthou.

In this innings Manager Coch-rane used up his entire pitching talent but to no avail. Auker, who started for De roit was sent to the showers in the inning and was replaced by Schoolbow Rowe, but the pitching ace of the Tigers was powerless to stem the :;de of defeat. He gave way in a very short time to Hog-. cett and Hogsett in t.iim to Tommy Bridges, who had proven a puzzle to the Cardinals in one of the earlier games of the series, but to no purpose, and before the frame ended fourteen St. Louis batters had ap-' peared at the plate. In the sixth inning St. Louis added 'wo runs to the;r formidable score, and an additional two in the seventh. Marberry and Crowder finished out the game for Detroit, but the inability of the Detroit batters ro connect with Dean's offerings rendered them helpless. All told St. Louis garnered seventeen h'ts of which number Dizzy Dean contributed two, and six of the number went for extra bases. A- small riot developed in the sixth inning when St. Louis was slugging the baM to all parts of the field. D?-Volt fans asserted that Medwick. of the Cardinals. had 'ntentionally bumped Owen, the Detroit third basp-rran. In an instant the S". Louis players were bombarded with everything which could be thrown at them and in order to get the game started again Commissioner Landis was ob-l'ged r,o banish Medwick from the gams. The score follows: RHE St. Louis ......... 11 17 1 Detroit................................. 0 6 3 The clubs divided � the first two games ol he series which were played in Detroit. In the first St. Louis smothered the wabbling Tigers with n score of 8-3. with Dizzy Dean in the, box for the Cardinals and Crowder for Detroit.

C, Mimicipalilies. He says last work's ccnven ion was not only the largest, but the most interesting in the history of the union. Mayor Pai- J. G. Turgeon. of Vancouver, was given the nomination of the Liberals of Cariboo at their convention held in this city on Thursday afternoon. The selection of Mr. Turgeon as the candidate was regarded as a certainty shortly after the convention had been called to order. The failure of the Peace River delegates to arrive delayed proceedings somewhat. They had star ed in a motor on the drive to Edmonton to make train connsctions, but the roads were in a very bad condition for travelling and when the delegates finally reached Edmonton hey had m'ssed the connection which wculd have brought them into Prince George on the morning of the convention. Altogether the Peace River delegates carried eighty vote-s which on ins ruction were to have been cast in favor of Dr. YV. A. Watson, of Poucc Coupe. When they found it woiild be impossible for them to reach Prince George in time for the convention the Peace River delegates submitted .'lie prcpos:1.] the convention should be adjourned to Sa urday so that they could attend. �A- this mam.1 hold'ng all the other delegates for two days the proposal was not entertained. As a compromise it was arranged that Dr. Watson should be placed in nomination and that the eighty votes from the Peace River should be cast for him. The only other nomination t-o go before the convention was that of Mr. Turgeon. He was proposed by Frank Clark, of Prince George, and .he nomination was seconded by John Yorston, of Quesnel. Speeches in support of the nomination wore made by Hon; H. G. Perry. M.L.A and J. O. Wilson, of Prince George; D. M. McKay. ML.A. of Quesnel, and G. M. Murray. M.L.A. of Lillooet.

Hon. H. G. Pern,' says an important concession has been secured from the government under which men on relief will be permitted to work out six months relief in one s.retch on highway repairs. This arrangement he says will be recogrr'ed not only as a desired concession to the men on relief, but will admit of more satisfactory work being i>erformed. The p!?n provides that the work may be performed but payment for it is to be made as ?nd when the relief falls due. On-e effect of the starting of the several public works jobs throughout the Fort George riding will be the easing of the demands upon the province and the city cf Prince George for unemployment relief. ------------�o------------- HOSPITAL TEA AND SHOWER WAS HUGE SUCCESS SATURDAY The Women's Hospital Auxiliary desires to acknowledge the following donations at the silver lea and miscellaneous shower: Mrs. L.
