These â€"complaints had come] from outsiders, he did not blame the Crown Attorney «sought from the witness some information _ as. to his knowledge of the condition of the Wesâ€" ton Road on the morning in question, as to whether he had knowledge of sand or cinders having at any time being deposited on the hill as a means of safeguarding against accidents, with particular reference to the Black Creek Hill. Witness remarked to the effect that he had no â€" knoweldge of the spreading of sand or other material but he did know the road was in a slippery state. ‘ Constable Reid declared that the tires were double and looked larger than five inches, but that he had been told the capacity of the bus was twentyâ€"two. The larger tire may have been safe to carry a larger load. There was different sizes of busses, he was acting on instructions that these were built to : carry 22, was not conversant with the carrying capacity of the reâ€" spective tires but had counted the pasâ€" sengers and found an overload accordâ€" ing to the instructions he had. Counsel Shaver sought information as to the mapner of the checking and was inâ€" }formed that by the constable, that; "I stopped the bus, looked in the body of 5t and counted the passengers". He ‘furth_f;r declared that he had never heard of any report of accidents or of _careless driving on the part of the drivers generally. _Crown Attorney interjecting the question, "Mr. MeMullen, have you any axe to grind in this matter of bus opâ€" eration on the Weston Road," while the witness answered "No", defending Counsel Shaver, drew attention to the fact that there was no reason for such an inference. "But," he said, "the question of _ my learned friend has brought out, the suspicion of animus which I did not hope to be personally able to bring out the evidence of." The next witness, Mr. McMullen, Chief Constable for York Township, who was intorrogated as to his knowâ€" ledge of the carrying capacity of veâ€" hicles of the nature in question, stated that he had that which was conveyed in the Public Vehicles Act, from which he was aware that the seating space allotted each passenger was 18 inches. On being. further questioned as to the manner in which the passengers were crowded in the bus on the date named, the constable ‘declared that there were nine crowded around the door and the drivers seat. From this appearance he concluded the bus was carrying an overload. Defending Counsel Shaver sought inâ€" formation as to how the witness arâ€" rived at his estimation of the vehicle being overloaded, also if the constable was aware of the carrying capacity of the tires that were used on these buses. Whether they were of five inch or bigâ€" ger. At this juneture remarks became heated between Counsel for either. side occasioned from the fact that defendâ€" ing Counsel Shaver, sought from Conâ€" stable Reid, information as to whether "It was not a fact that he had been told to go out and get these bus men, or get something on them of this naâ€" ture". t Crown Attorney Moore raised imâ€" mediate objection to the course persuâ€" ed by Mr. Shaver, whereon the latter declared that he did not wish to have it inferred that he was reflecting on the actions of either the constable or Mr. McMullen. A few remarks from the Major closed the point. Crown Attorney Moore pointed out to the witness that the particular date that would be under consideration was that of the 8th, and requested that the witness confine himself to references of that date only. j Witness declared that he had counted 42 passengers on the bus at the time he checked up on the 8th inst., and at that time informed the defendant that he was carrying an overload of pasâ€" sengers, being only permitted to. carry 22. This according to instructions he had received from the Police Departâ€" ment. After a discussion on the question of ownership in regard to the parâ€" ticular bus in this instance was agreed upon the case proceeded with the charge as given having been declared by the presiding magistrate. Defending Counsel Shaver, suggested that possibly he may have made a misâ€" take, could he give figures that he checked up on for another date. ‘Conâ€" stable Reid, stated that on subsequent times he found 35 on the bus, but that that was on the 9th. Asked on what basisg he had arrived at the fact that this constituted an overload for this particular elass of bus, the constable stated he had received instructions from the Police Department that they were constructed to carry 32 passenâ€" gers. On being asked when, where and on what instances Constable Reid, the first witness had checked up the bus drivâ€" er by the defendant, he stated that "I checked this driver on several days, the 8th, 9th, and 10th." "Coming events cast their shadows before," the shadow in this case was that cast by the appearance on the streets of Toronto of one of the busses of the Mount Dennis and Weston Bus Line, a shadow that may become a reâ€" ality. Who knows? On Monday of this week the bus owners and drivers of the line operatâ€" ing on the Weston Road from Keele ‘Street to the northern limits of Wesâ€" ton, again appeared before Major T. H. Brunton, magistrate of York County Court. Charged with "endangering human life", the several owners and drivers who were before court last week were arrainged before the judge. To facilâ€" itate the case, in view of the fact that the evidence in the case of all would appear to be the same, on the suggesâ€" tion of defending Counsel Gordon N. Shaver which was agreed to by Crown Attorney Frank Moore, one case, that against Geo. T. Cripps was proceeded with, in the nature of a test. Mount Dennisâ€"Weston Bus Men Again Before the Court ENDANGERINE HIMAM LFE declared that the and looked larger THE TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON Methodist The interesting and helpful sermons preached last Sunday by the pastor were enjoyed by a large congregation. The annual vestry meeting will be held next Monday evening, January 26, As this meeting is most important, all members of the church are invited to be present.. The meeting will start at 8 p.m. The Young People enjoyed a very pleasant evening last Thursday, when they visited the A.Y.P.A. branch of the Church of the Good â€"Shepherd. _ They are looking forward to another inâ€" vitationâ€" The services next Sunday will be as usual. At the Young People‘s meeting last Monday evening a very splendid adâ€" dress was given by Canon Greene. The evening was devotional and was well attended. i § St. George‘s Rev. Mr. Holdsworth was absent from the parish last Sunday. He was giving missionary _ sermons. in the Church at Kinmouth, north of Lindsay. During. his absence the services here were in charge of Mr. J. Goldring of Wycliffe College, in the morning, and in the evening Rev. MacNamara, of St. John‘s Church, West Toronto, preached the sermon. In the course of the evidence of the defendant, Cripps, heâ€"declared in resâ€" ponse to the several questions, that he had been driving on the Weston Road for a matter of three and a half years, operating under the present arrangeâ€" ment for about two months, without accident. That the existing service was possibly handling 60 to 70 per cent. of the public into and from the Junction. As far as the constables statement that there were nine people in the space around the driver‘s seat at the lime in question, that could not be possible, as the general practice was for him, and the advice to all drivers, was to keep at least the fare box clear. This naturally debarred the crowding of the driver as was inferred. : Defendant Cripps contended that keeping the people free of the. fare box, permitted a clear view for the driver. |At this juneture on the sugâ€" gestion of the Counsel, all adjourned to the street where the bus was located, with Major Brunton acting as counter, lawyers, reporters, defendants, witnesâ€" ses and spectators entered the bus, when 41 were on board, including the magistrate, the doors closed. = This concluded the evidence on the case and in summing up the judge reâ€" ferred to the seriousness of the crime of endangering human life, as one callâ€" ing for a penitentiary sentence, reâ€" marked on the fault of overloading, probably resting by the public demand rather than the desire of the driver to overload. He referred <to the indesâ€" criminate overloading of the T.T.C., and other services, and inclined to the belief that the bus men had been enâ€" deavouring to meet the public desires as far as possible: He enlarged on the excellent quality and appearance of the bus, in which he was concurred in by B Lt ied wn Mn ns ns w et afecs Sabce . ce o nniep Oe ie m ~reite Crown Attorney Moore, who intimated that he had many times ridden on them and found they were infinitely more comfortable and reliable of serâ€" vice than the general electric service which prevailed in the district which they operated. o golk Sentence was suspended, with the warning of the court to bear in mind the seriousness of the crime which they had him charged with‘ and the admonition to stay withi n the reasâ€" onable limits of the law, which allows a standing capacity of 25% of your seating capacity» this will allow you to carry thirty passengers, and you must remain within this limit. Questioned on the matter of obâ€" structedâ€"vision of the driver from the reason of having passengers crowded as was inferred from the statement of Constable Reid, to the effect that there were nine people just within the door of the vehicle, Mr. Cameron, stated that it would certainly have a bad efâ€" fect, but he felt that for most driving purposes, a slight movement of the head by the driver would give him sufâ€" ficient sight of the road. "At any rate," he, declared, "surely in his own interests no driver would permit people to be so placed as to entirely obstruct his view". Replying to Defending Counsel Shaver he further declared "That the driver would be able to easâ€" ily see the left of him, and also the right front mudguard, which should be sufficient for safe driving. He could not be expected to see anything that may tun‘ into him broadside." The Magistrate . expressed â€" amuseâ€" ment at the line_of argument taken by Counsel Shaver, that the more people of the aisle the less chance was there of danger to the trayeller from the fact they could not be thrown so far being crowded. { Mr. Shaver introduced Mr. Cameron, however by the permission . of the court, as an insurance adjuster, and expert on motor vehicle claims who would show that there was no danger to the public in the matter of overâ€" loading these busses to the capacity of which the law allows. Mr. Cameron pointed out that as a general rule in motor bus and . truck construction, there was an allowance for 50 per cent. of an overload capacity on the usual construction of such vehicles, and posâ€" sibly 42 passengers would not be conâ€" sidered too great a weight, however, there was the question of vision of the driver and space to consider in this case, and he had never seen a bus loadâ€" ed with this number of people, that is one of the descriptions in question. As a result of this rematk it was sugâ€" gested that there was one of the veâ€" hicles outside the court and it may be of advantage to try the loading capacâ€" ity if the court were willing. Magistrate Brunton opined that "he was somewhat of a practical man, and anything of the practical demonstraâ€" tion appealed to him, if the folks in the court room were willing we would adjourn later." On Mr. John J. Cameron being callâ€" ed to give evidence as to the carrying capacity of the vehicles, Magistrate Brunton stated he would "not take the slightest attention to the evidence of the witness in his deliberation of the case, for the issue in question was to whether the vehicles were carrying loads in such excess as to endanger human life". \ drivers so much as the public in seekâ€" ing to get transported, by crowding on the vehicles.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.â€"That no change in tariff policy in favor of lowâ€" er duties is to be expected from the Coolidge administration is regarded as settled here by the announcement that Thomas 0. Marvin has been reappointâ€" ed chairman of the tariff commission. Marvin is an extreme high tariff supâ€" porter and represents the New Engâ€" land high tariff view.. It is believed his influence will be against using the flexible tariff provisions of the law to reduce duties in any essential particulâ€" ar. There are two big events next Satâ€" urday. The eclipse and also the grand carnival to be held on the Islington skating! rink at the corner of Bloor Street. You are expected not to forâ€" get this event as there are twelve good prizes to be won and every person stands a chance of winning.
