Montreal, Sept. 21 In the province of Quebec, the fate' of reciprocity between the United aSlales arid Canada will be decided today. "While the parliamentary election Is national, both sides concede that this province Is the pivotal one. Not in many years has any election in Canada attracted so much Interest as that In progress today, and the -ote will undoubtedly break all records. Both sides are confident of victory. The Liberals declare that as a re sult of today's battle of the ballots reciprocity will be ratified by a parlia mentary majority of at least 85 votes. The Conservatives are equally certain that they will obtain more than the 23 eats necessary to defeat the measure. The campaign of the Conservatives and opponents of reciprocity has been of a rlolently anti-American character and annexation has been described as the Inevitable sequel of reciprocity. In many places President Taft has been alleged to be desirous of rendering his name Immortal by adding Canada to the Union during his administration, or at least by laying the foundation on which tha structure of annexation may be reared. To keep fatth with President Taft. the Laurier government has taken Its life in its hand. Reciprocity has been placed ahead of ' everything in the gov ernmental campaign.

Reciprocity has broken down party lines and the population is so changed since the last election that It Is diffi cult accurately to forecast the result. The administration admits that the loss of 13 seats in Quebec Is likely, and should the Tories gain seven other seats, reciprocity would lose. There is little probability of change except in Manitoba, where the Liberals expect to make gains. Th real fighting ground Is Quebec and Montreal, and corruption Is expected, as both sides are well supplied with funds. There' Is great bitterness In many quarters and rioting ts expected.

E Motive for Administering of Chloroform to Woman May Have Been Malicious Poi soning, Is Alleged. (United Pre Lei.ifd Wire.) Tampa, Fla., Sept. 21. The Shaker colcvhy near Kisslmmee Is convulsed with allegations today that Sister Sadie Marchant's death was not due to Bro ther Egbert Gillette's administration of chloroform through motives of charity, but to a malicious poisoning. Aa a re sult Gillette today Is In Jail, held with out ball on a charge of murder. The prosecution asserts that the story Gillette told of having chloroformed the woman to end her alleged sufferings from tuberculosis has bben upset and thai It was nothing but a plain case of murder, the motive of which Is obseurd. It is declared by the officers that the autopsy proved that instead of dying from consumption. Sister .Sadie was mildly affected with that disease. She was 35 years old and prepossessing. It Is reported that the autopsy surgeon discovered a drug In her intestines1 and portions of her stomach are being an alyzed. The prosecution refuse to discuss the case. Ooncinc Clear. Gillette still maintains that he com mitted no crime In putting the sup posedly sick woman to death. "My conscience Is clear," he eald to day, "and my faith unshaken. My trust in divine guidance Is as firm as ever. I have committed no orlme." Brother Bracken of the Shaker col ony slrenfithened the state's case by deserting Gillette and conveying Im portant Information to the prosecutors. Bracken described the home life In the colony which furnished valuable evi dence against Gillette. Gillette says the woman' suffering grew worse. There was only one thing left to Ju. He talked It over with SWs ter Sears, and after many prayers for guidance he bought six ounoes of chlo roform, and the ufferlng woman passed quietly away, In the past 26 or 80 years there ha been more or less of a small move ment to legalize euthanasia in certain cases, but It has never made any head way. Ev.'n most doctors are opposed to It, and Jurists without exception de nounce it as a dangerous plan, to open the gates of crime.

That financial panics such as that of 1907 can and will be averted by the or ganization of a reserve association of national banks was the emphatic, declar ation made last night by Honorable Rob ert W. Bonynge at the Informal business men's dinner at the Commercial cluh. Mr. Bonynge is a member of the Na tional Monetary commission, composed of nine senators and nine representatives and has made a very exhaustive study I of banking system in the United States and other great natrons of the world. His addres last evening was a clear exposition of the deductions that had been arrived at by the searching Investi gation carried On by the commission since organized In 1908. Mr. Bonynge holds there Is no need whatever for financial panics, such as occasionally have heen recorded in this country, "that they are due altogether to the faulty banking system of the coun try as a whole. There being no organ isation among the banking Institutions, each one rushes for cover whenever pub lic confldence-ls shaken and the public has no source to look to for asslsance," he declared. Cant Blame Banks. He also pointed out that under such circumstances the banks could not be blamed for tightening their purse strings because each one had to look for Its own protection and self preservation. "With the banks properly organized." he continued, "such flnnnclal flurries of distrust could never happen. Business depressions may be felt, and such oc currences are difficult to prevent, but I can see no reason for financial panics with such tremendous wealth In the country." The speaker was Introduced by Presi dent H. M. Hailer of the Chamber of Commerce, and he ariaressed about 150 prominent business nien and bankers, every one of whom listened attentively.
