This had to do with a diver‘s descent into Lake Osisko early in the morning of Jan. 5, when it is alleged an effort was made to obtain a cache of highgrade. Instead of reading the oriâ€" ginal charge, the clerk of the court‘s assistant read ‘the two new charges against Lavelle and the one charging Desmarais as a conspirator. Both men pleaded not guilty on both charges. They were remanded to Feb. 8 on bail of $1,600 on the understanding the hearings then would be laid over until June. He is one of several men involved in gold cases here and he is also charged with conspiracy to deal illegalâ€" ly in gold on one instance to the value Meanwhile, Dennis I. Coffey, the Toâ€" ronto diver and his assistant, Andrew Clairmont, are on their way back to Toronto. Charges laid against them were withdrawn. Val d‘Or Mines Investigator Joseph A. Hedges, who laid the information under the Export Act, claims that Lavelle offered to supply a reputable American gold refiner with a large quantity of Canâ€" adian gold which was to have gone into that country without passing through customs. The act provides that only the Dominion Government, through the Royal Canadian Mint, is permitted to deal in the precious metal.

Gold Export Act Invoked First Time in Rouyn Case Mr. Cross explained that the bill was optional, and that any municipality could hold a plebiscite, and vote itself out of the jurisdiction of the measures at the next municipal elections. In municipal elsctions held Jan. 1, absut twoâ€"thirds of the municipalities voted against the proposed extension of the term of office for Council. In Toronto the voters turned down the scheme by a threeâ€"toâ€"one majority. At that time Mr. Cross and Premier Hepâ€" burn stated that the plebiscites would make no difference to the Governâ€" ment‘s decision to force through the measure. ‘Toronto, Jan. 17.â€"Bowing before public opinion that expressed itself in plebiscites throughout the Province, Hon.

DeSantis Mine Produced $33.860 During December But yesterday Mr. Cross said that although he believed the measure to be a good one, it was the duty of the Provincial Government to lead, not divide public opinion, especially in warâ€" time, and that the bill would not be put into . force for another year. "I believe that by next year when the people have felt the {ull impact of the war they will accept the measure unanimously," he said.

A total of $1,9043.74 has been received by the Porcupine Christmas Seal Comâ€" mittee from the purchase of the Christâ€" mas seals. The money is for the purâ€" pose of carrying on the battle in the Porcupine against tuberculosis. Thae prevalence of tuberculosis in the Porâ€" cupine was alarming until active measâ€" ures wore taken to combat the disease. The situation toâ€"day is very much betâ€" ter thanks to the eclinics, the educationâ€" al campaigns, the treatment given sufâ€" ferers and the general interest in conâ€" quering tuberculosis in the Porcupine. tion being given to the children and efforts made not only to treat and cur2 existing cases but to prevent chances of the dsvelopment of the disease. The campaisn here against tuberâ€" culosis has keen financed by the sale of Christmas Seals each year, this plan being carried through by a capable committee sponsored by the Lions Club. In securing the amount of $1,943.74 the Porcupine Christmas Seal Committes has achieved a notable success in view of the fact that at the present time ordinary community calls are liable to be overlooked in the press of other patriotic demands. The phrase, "other patriotic demards" is used because it is necessary to emphasize the fact that the war against tuberculosis is truly patriotic. The objective set for the Christmas Seal fund was $2,000. The total to date is only a few dollars beâ€" low that amount. It is possible that there are a few who received the seals and have overlooked making teturns for sale. If there are any of these, it would be a nice gesture to immediately forward the dongations. If there are any who have been missed, or any who feel that they could give another dolâ€" lar or two to this worthy cause, it would be pleasing if the impulse were followed and the objective thus rolled up. The committee has made no sugâ€" gestion along this line, but The Adâ€" vance gives the hint, believing that the committee handled the campaign so well under all the difficulties of this present time that they deserve (and the cause deserves) the reaching of the full It will improve still further as the trouble has been particularly attacke2d at its source, /especial care and attenâ€" Total of $1,943.74 Contributed for Battle Against T.B.

The fire is said to have started in the wood shed adjoining the building, and Provincial Constables Tregenza and T.

Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Larsen were living with Ostman at the time, and all people were home when the fire started. ‘The building was a oneâ€"r0om shack with a woodshed adjoining.

Interest of $52.48 had been paid on deposits. Savings accounts at the yearâ€"end. totalled $3,800 and 7 loans amounting to $6,400 had been made. It was announced that a dividend of 25 cents had been declared on each paidâ€"up share as at Nov. 30th. Dividend vouchers were distributed to those present; others may claim theirs at the office. One of the important steps taken during the year was the taking of membership in Cuna Mutual Association by which the Soâ€" ciety is enabled to insure all loans against the total disability or death of a borrowing member. D. Rymer, in reporting for the Superâ€" visory Committee announced that the books and affairs of the Society were in good order and that former arrears of work had been largely taken care of. A few details of the Credit Commitâ€" tee‘s work were presented by N. R. Clifton and L. F. Roy. Principal purâ€" poses for which loans are made have not changed very much since the beginâ€" ning but the average amount of loans has increased considerably. Several amendments to the constituâ€" tion and byâ€"laws were moved by H. C Farrel and after some amendments were passed.

The meeting adjourned at 12 p.m War May Save the Game of Hockey for the Old Country So hockey never did get a chance to develop the natural British wayâ€"perâ€" haps because it has been steered by Canadian ‘officials since its birth here. It started with a diamondâ€"studded 10â€" team flash and ended last season with a sixâ€"team squabble. Talent Cost High Only theâ€"local Maple Leaf Gardens and Forumsâ€"Harringay and Wembley â€"showed slim profits. : The smaller rinks couldn‘t stay in the race for highâ€" priced Canadian imports. Dunbar Poole, whose Streatham rink will seat only 2,500 led the small rink campaign against increasing overhead,; got it whittled down and then got kicked out of the league because his team played too rough. He charged it was a big rink persecution and unless something was done the game would die naâ€" tural death. Attendances were falling off from lack of interest in watching a competition restricted to the big rinks and their powerful teams. London, Englandâ€"To anyone liking his hockey neat the wartime English brand, blacked out and tied up with restrictions, leaves much to be desired. But there is a growing beiief the war may prove the salvation of the game which has cost millions of prunds to introduce. Rink managers decided at the end of the season to try and foster, with subsidies, provincial teams to put a keener edge on competition, and with this in mind both Wembley and Harâ€" ringay scouted the Dominion for talent. This material was to be used in buildâ€" ing provincial teams. It has been argued hockey started here the wrong wayâ€"promoters transâ€" planting shiploads of expensive Canâ€" adian experts in an effort to consoli=â€" date patronage overnight. It is now believed they schemed without considâ€" eration of a doughty English sports world which has a reputation for loyâ€" alty and patience with anything which appears struggling hard for recognition. But the war and its accompanying blackout precautions prohibiting, at first, nightâ€"time hockey, and ARP. restricting crowds to less than a third of seating capacity, put the damper on the new season before it had time to get going. Many of the Canadian veterans left the war zone taking their families to safety. Others went back to Canada, because, under compulsory military service residence clause, they qualified for conscription in England and they preferred to serve with Canâ€" adian regiments. Those who remained took up A.R.P. voluntser work in thelir spare time. Players in Jobs So the November London Cup comâ€" petition, opening the season, had only four teams, two from Harringay and one each from Wembley and Streatham made up a players‘ pool with clubs reâ€" taining old favourites like Walter Monâ€" son, at Harringay, and Lou Bates, at Wembley. : Each team inserted four English players to bring their rosters up to full â€"strength,.
