TWO KIRKLAND LAKE BOYS GIVEN STRAP BY POLICE ..‘The Northern News last week says:â€"| "With the consent of his father in one case, and of his mother in the other, two local coys, aged 10 and 12 years were on Friday sentenced in Juâ€" venile Court to six stripes with a strap, after they had pleaded guilty to havâ€" ing participated with two other boys in a number of petty thefts, which inâ€" cluded the taking of money from the charity boxes at the local Roman Cathâ€" olic church: the stealing of some skis frocm the United church; entering a house and stealing some money from ; a cash box, as well as the taking of | chocolate, cigarettes etc., from several‘ stores. During the hearing of evidencel it was intimated that at least one of the boys expressed a hope that he would be sent to the industrial schooli to which place two of his chums were committed a short time back, It was shown that though ordered on that occasion to report ‘weekly to Inâ€" spector O‘Hara the boys had fatlied to do so. In passing sentence istrate â€" Atkinson commented that apparently nothing less than a strapâ€" ping would have any effect. He had decided not to send the boys to the Industrial school. The two lads who were apparently the leaders would each receive six stripes with a strap to be administered by a police officer. The parents could be present if they desired. The other two boys were "orâ€" dered to report each week to Mr. Oâ€" THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE_,‘ZP‘I‘MMINS, ONTARIO Word from Sudbury is to the effect that an appeal has been entered against the finding of the judge and jury in the recent case against Arvo Vaara, editor of the Finnish newspaper, Vaâ€" paus, who is at present serving a term of six months at Burwash prison farm after being convicted of seditious libel and sentenced to the prison term anc also to pay a fine of $1,000, or another two years. Nine points are mentioned as the grounds for the appeal, these nine points being as follows:â€" charge against me, counsel for the prosecution referred to and commentec | upon the failure of the person charged to testify. Il (2) The learned judge failéd to state to the jury material facts in the eviâ€" dence favourable to the accused and stated inaccurately and prejudicially to the jury portions of the evidence unfavourable to the accused and in particular, the learned judge misstatâ€" ed and unfairly stated the evidence of the witnesses, Alquist and Hill, with regard to the alleged control of¢ the acâ€" cused over the publication complaing» of and responsibility for such publicaâ€" tion and he failed to define to the jury the kmd of control and responsibility required to found criminal responsibiliâ€" ty. (3) The learned judge erred in not withdrawing the case from the jury on the failure of the Crown to prove that it was the accused who committed the offence charged and the learned judge neglected to properly charge the jury that the burden of proof with regard to the offence rested on the Crown throughout and especially in regard to the charge that it was the accused who committed the offence. (4) The learned judge incorrectly stated the law with regard to the pubâ€" lication of a seditious libel and he should have ruled that the words comâ€" plained of are not capable of supportâ€" ing a charge of seditious libel. (5) The indictment should have been quashed as prejudiced to the accused on the following grounds: (a) It joinâ€" ed in one count a number of offences involved a multiplicity of charges. (b) It contained accusations against the accused which are no:t offences at law. (c) It did not describe with sufficient clearness the offences charged, so aAs to allocate the particular words alleged to be criminal, and to allocate the |particular words or passages which are 1c1aimed to be expressive of seditious intentions to the respective intentions alleged to have been expressed. (6) The learned judge erred in adâ€" mitting evidence which should not have been admitted and in excluding eviâ€" dence which should not have been exâ€" cluded. â€" (7) Particulars were wrongfully reâ€" fused to the accused. (8) The conviction was against the evidence and the weight of the eviâ€" dence. (9) The penalty was unduly severe. Counsel for the accused adds: "If a new trial is directed I desire that such new trial be before a jury." It is understood that application was made for bail, pending the hearing of the case by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court. It pays to be honest, and prompt in showing that honesty. A lady lost a purse this week containing some valuâ€" able papers, but no money of any acâ€" count. She arranged for an advt. in ‘The Advance for the recovery of the purse, offering $5.00 reward. A boy picked up the purse and noting the address on an envelope inside at once took the property to its rightful owner. The advt. apparently had brought reâ€" sults before it was printed. The lady was so pleased at the boy‘s promptness that she not only paid the reward but gave him the price of the advt. as an additional bonus for the promptness of his honesty. Quite a few honest people wait for an advt. to appear 10 see if there is any reward. piâ€"e which is thought to have origiâ€" nated from dust and dirt in the casâ€" ing around the furnace, did about $2500 damage to the house and contents of the home of A. J. Elliott, postma«ter at Kirkland Lake last week. ;vaw T0 BF EXTENDED N NORTHERN ONTARIO Announcements of particulars interâ€"| est and importance to this North Land were made in the Ontario Legislature this week by Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, premier of Ontario, according to desâ€" patches from Toronto. In the first place Hon. Mr. Ferguson | roiterated his attitude regarding the development of the St. Lawrence Waâ€" terways. He was quite plainly against anything that might jeopardize Canaâ€" da‘s control over her own waterways. The premier also announced the Govâ€" ernment policy regard to Hydro power, particularly in reference to its extenâ€". ’sion in this North Land. ‘ The premier‘s announcements were made in answer to questions asked by T. K. Slack (Progressiveâ€"Dufferin) who before the orders of the day referred ‘ to newspaper comment on recent ‘speeches in the House. Premier Ferguson announced that | hydro was to be extended in Northern Ontario to give settlers in the less setâ€" tled areas the advantages accruing to those in the more populous districts. \ He also warned that if "insidious proâ€" lpagandp.’ of the United States power trusts against Hydro in Ontario did@ ‘not cease, the government would not | hesitate to use its power of exproâ€" | priation and buy up small private ‘power plants. This announcement folâ€" lowed Mr. Slack‘s reference to the situâ€" ‘ation in Bruce County, where private ‘interests now hold power leases. Premier Ferguson Tells Legislature Several Private Power Plants Have Been Bought Mr. Slack urged that the Premier anâ€" nounced his policy regarding the St. Lawrence, which, he said, was of paraâ€" mount interest. He said the province expected the Prime Minister to provide leadership in the matter. Mr. Ferguson replied that while his attitude was well known, he would say that the St. Lawrence waterway was primarily a Dominion matter. Ottaâ€" wa had the entire control, while Onâ€" tario had no official status. He beâ€" lieved that everybody favoured develâ€" opment, but the difference was as to ways and means. He said Canada had developed its own great system of canals and had undertaken the enlargement of the Welland Canal He did not see why at this stage a big partner should be taken in. "We must dig canals on our own side of the International Boundâ€" ary. We cannot be ordinary share~â€" holders in this great enterprise," he declared. As for Hydro, the Prime Minister said expansion was planned in Northern Ontario and in the last few months half a dozen private power plants had been purchased, one of them located in Ssudbury. The water powers of the North were to be linked up with Hydro. He said insidious attacks believed to be inspired by United States power trusts had been made on Hydro.
