CHARGES AGAINST GUARDS: READY FOR POLICE COURT Ottawa Despatch Reports Tht TH Tod ig' Has Bern Pro- fitable--Many Old Gurds Are Likely To, Be Retired In a Shart Time. = E (Special lo the Whig.) Ottawa, Oct. 22.--Following an emaustive investigation into "condi- tions at the Kingston penitentiary the Tepartment of Justice is arranging, &ccording to Information comingfrom a reliable source, to make wholesale changes in the staff of the institition. It is stated that more than seventy- " five per cent. of the guards why have resided in Kingston and Portsmouth for years will be retired in a sfort tine, and thelr places will be taken by much younger men, The investigation has braight ¢ut the fact that the-rules anf regula- tions of the penitentiary, and Aven tie Penitentiary Act, have been violated by guards who have held th) confidence of their superiors for years, It is known that a number od strosg cases have been prepared and the Kingston magistrate will be kept Jusy. .The charges will range from ac- cepting bribes to trafficking /n tobseco and drugs. At least one dozen cases have been completed and tle evidence unearthed is most conclusive. -It is known that some guards hive received sums of money for "assisting" con- victs in their desire to secire coatrabands of divers kinds. The traflicking has been very profitable/to gyards. .

As announced yesterdiy, the Department of Justice will inaugurate a new guard Syem, Ia the main, the men will be young and must mea- Sure up to certain standerds. They will not be appointed torany one institution but will be liatle for service in any penitentiary. Those of the old guards who will remain on the staff at Portsmouth will in time be moved to other prisons. The question of changing executive officers is sald to be under consideration and it is probable that officials will not be kept on any one prison very long. It was officially stated to-day that the report of a strike and distur- bance which followed was very much exaggerated in the despatches sent from Kingston. The facts are as follows: Three guards yere removed from the tailor shop and a few of the prisoners ech. refusing to work. This "strike" spread rapidly, but not more than fifty men rebelled. Whig Denied Report Last Friday. * The official denial of the existence of plots to blow up the Portsmouth penitentiary, published in Thursday's Whig, was not the first statement made on this subject, for just one week ago the Whig stated positively © that there was nothing in the wild yarns about the finding of nitro- glycerine and arms, said to have been secreted by convicts for the purpose « of carrying out a general delivery. From official sources, no confirmation whatever could be obtained, and Warden Ponsford, himself, said there was rothing in the story. We only refer to it again because of the complete vindication of the Whig's position contained in the déspatch from Ottawa that was published in Thursday's issue. As to evidence of bar-cutting, the Whig learned two months ago that a the prisoners had cut bars of his cell and that a guard had been $20, because it had been assumed that a piece of saw handle was made in the shop of which he was in charge. The cut bars"were removed and new ones put in. This, however, was not regarded as a paxt of a plot involving concerted action on the part of the prisoners, but only'the work of one poor unfortunate, and as evidence of how trivial the officials re- garded it, the man was not taken out for trial for making an attempt to escape. It 'was regarded more as a reflection upon the lack of vigilant oversight on the part of an instructor whose duty it was to know how his men were occupied. : Escape Not Part of Plot. The escape of the two prisoners in Warden Ponsford's automobile could not be considered a part of a concerted plot, because there wis a guard in charge of them also, whose business it was to maintain Super- vision of their work and prevent escape. The Whig has not Siutain ges the guard responsible was even fined or suspended. This is the/only actual escape, that has occurred, but nobody pretends that it finding of a needle and thread, a cigarette. stub or a | basement of the hospital. 7 It is evident, too, that there is fieed of a more efficient system of audit in view of disclosures of a traffic in which prison property was bartered, The auditing of the books every two or three years is of no value what- ever. A case was brought to the Whig's attention of efforts to balance the books of the binder twine industry five years after the factory had been closed. If prison property is lost during the long intervals between the . guditing of accounts, there is little prospect of recovering it. This, how- ever, is no reflection upon individual guards, but upon the system allowed to provatl Bank Bandit Killed "And Three Wounded Cleveland, Ohio, © Oct. 22.--Three th brush in the CONVINCED THAT REDS ARE BEHIND STRIKE British Governments Attitude Said to be Affected - : by This. was recovered. counties were searched by posses to- _ flay for the remnant of the bandit "gang w late yesterday engaged in @ most spectacular bank Amid volleys of one of robberfes in Oho.

Baker was in charge of Guard James A. Fegg, of the penitentiary, and was being brought to Toronto from Bur- wash. After leaving Weston, he was permitted to enter the lavatory. Jamming the door shut, he locked it and held it, leaving the guard pow- erless in the aisle of the car while he effected his escape before action could be taken. The police of No. 9 West Toronto were notified upon ar- rival of the train, which was five minutes late and coming fast to and Detectives Hess and Alexander joined in the search.

Guard Fegg has had seven- teen years experience in the Ports- mouth penitentiary. WILL NOT REDUCE PRICE OF SUGAR British Food Ministry De- clines to Accede to » Public Request. London, Oct. 22.--In contrast to the action of the Canadian Govern- ment in rescinding the sugar order of the Board of Commerce, the Brit- ish Food Ministry has so far abso- lutely declined to accede to the pub- lic request that sugar prices be re- duced in Britain to conform with the world level. The Food - Ministry makes the sme defence as the Board of Commerce, viz., that it kept prices down when sugar was scarce here, and in so "doing had to acquire a large stock which must be sold before lower quotations can be allowed. This is th. same situation as in Canada, but the Food Ministry's po- sition is stronger than that of the Canadian Board of Commerce, in that it is itself the owner of the su- gar stocks,fand dont that if they are to be sacrificed at fow prices, it wil] simply shift the loss from the shoulders of the consumer to the taxpayer. The Ministry has in addi- tion cut the sugar ration in half for the duration of the coal strike. : STRUGGLE MAY - BE HISTORIC Hoyd George Espetiedl 0 Announce Government's London, Oct. 22.--Interest in the miners strike and. the threatened walkout of railroad and transport workers throughout the country was centered today on 10 Downing street. the official residence of Premier Lloyd George. Served with a virtual ultimatum by the railroad and tr&n- sport men to begin megotiations with the miners today, on pain of fasing a tieup of railroad and possibly other traffic on Sunday night,. the premier was expected to make a definite an- nouncement of the stand the govern- ment would take. Members of the cabinet met last Peat and held a long session but the {sions reached were not made pub- lic. It was learned, however, that one matter discussed was an appeal to the country for a mandate to settle the miners' strike." Indications of a political, as well as an industrial crisis, were found in the situation, it was declared, and i appeared that labor had joined issue with the gov- ernment in a struggle which might become historic.

London, Oct. 22.--The miners' con- ference of south Wales today asked the national miners' federation to call a national conference to consider the withdrawal of all labor from the coal mines.

Ottawa, Oct. 22 "22--A corpse is not! the property of any one person and! no action therefore can be entered into for the recovery of any human remains, according-to Justice Latch- ford .at the session of the Ontario supreme court. The case in question was that of the parents of the late Hormidas Gallien seeking to recoyer his remains from the widow, who had had the body buried contrary to the wishes of the parents. Justice Latch. ford dismissed the action without costs. According to Halsbury's Laws, of England, as quoted by the judge: "There is no property in a dead body so that a man cannot by will * or any. other instrument, dispose of 'his own body, nor can he dispose of the body of any one else." ° His Lordship ruled that a widow ; has the right to bury the body of hef husband where she desires. On the other hand, the parents of the deceas- ed have some rights on the body,-he said. The case in question. is as follows: Louis Gallien and his wife, Marie R. Gallien, were demanding that the, body of their son, Hermidus, be re- turned to them for intermeat in the family plot. The widow, Lida Gal- lien, and the Roman Catholic Epis- copal corporation of the diocese of Ottawa were the defendants in the: action. { The son died in January, --19i8.! and by mutual agreement between| the parents and the widow the body! was interred in the famil Jt wot Se : Notre Dame cemetery, ment was to the effect Dat a widow and the 'dead husband's ch should be buried alongside. 3 agreement was later repudiated the parents of the decedséd resul in the widow having the body enterred and re-buried in a plot. ~The poréents were to regain the body. . was involved as co-defendant 0 to its having permitted the of the body from the family: the new grave. . rr ------ Red Agents at Halle i Must Leave Germany| .
