Porcupine Chief Warns Against Any ‘Clan‘ Wars Here South Porcupine, Dec, 13th,â€"(Special to The Advance)â€"A reading of the memorandum issued to all Provincial Police and Chiefs of Police concerning the distribution of "subversive literaâ€" ture" and the punishment of offenders makes most interesting reading. Other News of South Poreu pine and the Dome. "Subversive literature" and "subâ€" versive statements may be defined as literature and statements having aA tendency to overthrow, ruin, and desâ€" troy, as referring to a government or a constitution. Persons found with such newspapers, pamphlets, or periodicals which he is circulating or distributing or which police suspect to contain any material which is a violation of the Defence of Canada Regulations 39A, is liable to arrest. Statements "intended or likely to inâ€" terfere with the success of His Majesâ€" ty‘s Forces, or of the Forces of an Alâ€" lied or Associated Power‘‘â€" Statements "intended or likely to cause disaffection to His Majesty"â€" Statements ‘"intended or likely to prejudice His Majesty‘s relations with Foreign Powers‘‘â€" Subversive statements, words or phrases, are offences against the Deâ€" fence of Canada Regulations. Statements ‘intended or likely to prejudice the recruiting, training, disâ€" cipline, or administration of any of His Majesty‘s forces"â€" All these are indictable offences, now that Canada is at war. Still, we are informed by the Chief, Canada is not at war with Russia, so that the "class wars" of the "Reds" and "Whites‘" of which we are hearing quite a lot these days, must be treated and adjudicated by Canada‘s Ministers of Justice only in as far as they transâ€" gress Canada‘s peaceâ€"time laws! Two cases in police court in succesâ€" sive weeks concerning the, selling of tobacco to minors, brings out the folâ€" lowing reading of the law by the Chief of police:â€"The statutory law provides that no one may sell tobacco to "child" under 18 years. It is generally understood that this law concerns only those under sixteen years. ‘But the law reads eighteen! Tuesday‘s court here was crowded.‘ The fact that the case concerning the beating up of a Finn by two "White". Finns was to be tried, filled the court, not only with interested listeners but. with ‘witnesses as well. This case was heard only in part. Evidence was given by Dr. Miller that he attended Antti Sekkomen on Dec. 4th for bruises, cuts, and broken ribs, injuries which will preâ€" vent him from working for a month. These injuries were allegedly caused by P. Tesanko and Hiikala, who were charged also with causing damage to property. Many witnesses, most of them needing interpreters, were called and the story educed was that Sekomen who was employed as a "keeper of the peace" at the Finn hall on Commerciali Ave, was downstairs on the night in question inspecting the furnace with others when he was called up to the refreshment room to separate Hiikala and a man called Kohari who were fighting. In trying to separate them he was beaten with a chair and a brace and a bit. A hammer also figured in the testimony. Dean Kester acted for the defendants. Many questions from the lawyer failed to elicit the fact that there was a Russian emblem in the hall or on the wall. Asked whether Hiikala and Tesanko were "White" Finns the injured man said he did not know. "What do you call yourselves?" he was asked. "A free organization open to all" he replied. Leonard Hijort gave evidence. He is a caretaker and actor giving instructions at the hall. He was shown the hammer alleged to have been used. Pointing to a red mark on the handle counsel said rather dramatically "What does that look like?" ‘"‘It look too bad," said Hijort. It was proved to be blood. When the Magistrate decided to postpone further enquiry until next week he made the following remarks:â€" "I do not intend to prejudice this case, but I want to let you people know there must be no gang wars (Red and White) here in Canada. We can‘t have them. I am giving a general warning. No matter how sore you may be at events going on in Europe you must not take the law into your own hands. Your grievances must be taken to the police and brought to the courts." Other cases heard included:â€" Five parking byâ€"law infringements, ($1 and costs). No lights on car( $5 and costs). One speeder ($10 and costs). No chautâ€" feur‘s license ($10 and costs). For sellâ€" ing tobacco to a minor $5 and costs. Keeping a common gaming house, $50 and costs. Six persons "found in"â€" $10 and costs each. Disorderly conduct, $10 and costs. Assault case brought by Mrs. T. Mcâ€" Kay against her husband. Adjourned one week. John Sekolich pleaded not guilty to two charges: first, causing bodily harm and threatening John Watchim; and, second, using profane language. He was bound over to keep the peace on the first charge, and the magistrate upon hearing the second charge, resâ€" cinded this, making the bond heavier, $200, to keep the peace for twelve months (From Toronto Telegram) Last Monday a newspaper heading stated, "Dorothy Lamour Improving."
