Murder Appeal Is Ironed Out Complexities in Macchione Case Removed; New Trial to be Held in Fernie Complexities of the Vincent Macchione appeal, arising over the inability of the Chief Justice of British Columbia to reconvene the court to hear a motion to reopen the case, owing to the death of one of the justices, were ironed out today. The crown has abandoned its appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada over the ruling which gave Macchione a new trial on the murder charge on which he had been twice convicted. Chief Justice Martin today signed the judgment directing new trial, and Clement Carmichael, appearing for Macchione, withdrew his motion to reopen the appeal. The new trial of Macchione will presumably be held at the next assizes in Fernie, starting May 25. E.

A. WILLIAMS PASSES AWAY Former City Photographer Succumbs After Long Illness After a long illness, Ernest Allen Williams, retired photographer, passed away yesterday afternoon in St. Joseph's Hospital. Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 from the Sands Mortuary Chapel. Canon F.

A. P. Chadwick will officiate and interment will be in Colwood Burial Park. Mr. Williams was born in Kingston, Surrey, 64 years ago.

He came to Victoria from the Old Country 27 years ago, and entered into partnership with Shaw in commercial photography, remaining with the firm for several years. Later he took up studio work, and continued on his own account until 1923, when he became associated with Wilfred Gibson for five or six years. Mr. Williams was a very old member of the Arion Club, and a former member of the Rotary Club, which he joined in 1915 and continued his membership until 1934. He was also a valued member of the Vancouver and Quadra Lodge No.

2, A.F. A.M. Mr. Williams took a keen interest in Saanich municipal affairs, successfully contested the Ward Two council seat in 1933. His health failed four years ago, and he had lived in retirement since.

He is survived by his widow, at the family residence, 3697 Quadra Street; one daughter, Mrs. O. V. Dawkins, and two' granddaughters, all in Victoria. THINKS WATER RATE TOO LOW Judicial Decision on Minimum for Which City Can Sell Water to Be Sought On the grounds the city is not able to sell water below its "gross cost," which he fixes at 20 cents per 1,000 gallons, P.

R. Leighton intends to seek a judicial decision on his contention, according to a letter received by Mayor Andrew McGavin this week. The Victoria lawyer bases his figures on 1936 costs and consumption. "It is contrary to the Act (1936 R.S.B.C. Cap, 199, Section 177) to set a rate that is below cost without the consent of the ratepayers," his letter reads in part.

"If the court holds that I am right the city will benefit very materially. I trust, therefore, that you will appreciate that my action is not intended to prejudice the city. Still less is it my desire to hamper your work or criticize the work of the city officials. What I seek to do is to challenge the interpretation that was given to the 1925 Act by the arbitrators in the 1927 arbitration. By the action that I propose to take a judicial interpretation of the act which will be available to and binding upon any future arbitrators can be obtained very quickly and inexpensively." Six Fined Under Closing By-law A total of $60 was collected from Chinese storekeepers in the City Police Court this morning when they were arraigned on charges of violating the city's early closing by-law.

Each of six proprietors was fined $10, five pleading guilty. Those fined were: Marjorie Gee, Mar Get, C. Louie, Edmund Mark, Eric Joe and Sam Kwong.

F. JEUNE and BRO. LTD. 570 JOHNSON STREET 4632 MALE CHOIR IN FINE CONCERT Frank Tupman Conducts, Enthusiastic Singers at Empress By G. J.

D. The Victoria Male Choir under Its alert conductor, Frank Tupman, continues to maintain its excellent standards, its brimming enthusiasm, and its importance to choral music of the city. Its concert at the Empress Hotel last night chronicled another most creditable chapter in its 12 years of concert giving, and, as usual, attracted a large audience. Seldom have we heard in local choral bodies an equal in pure, sonorous quality as in the final group. The tenors, the first in their alto-like quality, seemed to have adjusted themselves the more firmly, while the bass section was very fine indeed.

The group was the beautiful Mendelssohn "On Wings of a trifle hastened; the "British Grenadiers," with variations (Chas. Wood), and the fine setting of "Bless This House" (Brake), which had to be repeated. The opening Bach Chorale and its following group, in which Mr. Tupman brought forth some fine effects, especially in the "Hymn to Harmony" and in "Hues of Day."

CONVENIENT TERMS. vital, were hardly on firm ground. "Invocation to the Sun," from Dr. Lyon's "Carthon," and "Lovely Night" (Chwatal) were noteworthy performances, the former in its contrasting effects and attack, the latter being beautifully SEA CHANTEYS The two sailor chanteys, "Bound for the Rio Grande" and "Johnny Comes Down to Hilo," with H. S.

Batey, an admirable leading shantyman, with the augmented parody, "Good-bye, Fare Thee Well," proved particular favorites, while another feature introduced to the programme was the community singing of the well-known hymn, God, Oud Help in Ages Past" and "Love's Old Sweet Song." Interspersed with the choral numbers were some duets and humorous quartettes, the former by W. G. Frampton and J. Bray, in most agreeable manner, especially the second number, Parry's "Flow Gently, Deva," and the quartette, J. Oakman, F.

Tupman, W. Buckler and J. Townsend, with descriptive and gesture of such pictured music as "Mosquitoes" (Bliss), Oakley's appropriate sweetness in "At Sweet Sixteen" and the recall, "The Good Our Help in Ages Past" and ingly presented. PIANO SOLOS The choir's very excellent accompanist, Maquinna Daniels, played two groups, once again exemplifying her brilliant pianistic accomplishment and her popularity in the reception accorded her. Her first number, "Rhapsodie" (Dohnanizi), in its impressiveness, contrast and spirit was an admirable performance.

In the second group, purely program music, such as Frank Bridge's "Fireflies," music had a floating, shimmering dainty and subtle scherzo like effect; the "Wind on the Plains" (Palmgren) and Grovley's "The Donkey," Miss Daniels impressed with her musical insight and delineated pictures with facility, taste and good judgment, meeting with rounds of applause and recalls to the platform. Radio Protest Acknowledged Acknowledgment of the city's radio protest against proposed increases in the radio fees is contained in a letter from Hon. C. D. Howe, Minister of Transport, received at the City Hall today.

"The whole matter is now receiving the attention of the government, and your representations will receive full consideration," the letter stated in part.
