LAUGH SURELY ON PETERBOR POLICE Who Ordered Cutting Weeds, Which Happened to Be Potatoes. of Peterboro, Aug. 28.--Péter- boro police are! long on liquor prosecutions and short 'on botany. They have been waging war on those letting weeds grow to seeding on vacant lots. Recently they sent a peremptory notice to H. B. Rye, reeve of the adjoining Township of Monaghan, that unless he immediately cut down weeds covering several vacant lots he owns on the eity side of Boundary road, prosecution would result. Mr. Rye explained to the emergetic limbs of the law that their "weeds" were fine crops of pofatoes in full bloom. Prose- cution collapsed. WANT.

It has been the pol- icy of the Liberal Government ever since the time of Sir Wilfrid Laur- fer that this route should be de- veloped primarily for the benefit of all Canada, neither for the East nor for the West, and Canada has been committed to build a road by both Liberals and Conservatives," declared Hon. W. R. Motherwell, Federal Minister of Agriculture, speaking yesterday at a luncheon tendered by The Pas Board of Trade. 3 "Now, the war has been over five years, and I believe Canada is now capable financially of going ahead and completing the Hudson's Bay Railway," the Minister continued.

His : POWER PLANS ARE HELD UP No Dam At Morrisburg For Pre- seat At L Least. FEAR FURTHER DELAY Because of the International As: pect of li Lawrence Ottawa, Aug. 28.--Plans of the Ontario Hydro Electric Commission for a power dam on the St. Law- rence at Morrisburg are held up indefinitely because the Department of Public Works considers that the approval which ordinarily it would give, would not be sufficient by reason of the international aspect of the case. The Ontario Government has been inquiring within the past few days as to the status of the case. It is being advised that it has been re- ferred to the committee which is acting in conjunction with the in- ternational body of engineers to in- vestigate the whole St. Lawrence power navigation project. Two of the members are abroad and no ac- tion will be considered before next { month. " i The Hydro Electric filed its ap- plication for approval of the dam last January, and forthwith there was a protest from the Dominion Marine Association. Instead of the departmental engineers investigat- ing it was considered that the sub- ject ought to be referred to the lerger committee of engineers ad- vising in regard to the St. Lawrence project because of the internation- al aspect. It has not been acted upon. Meanwhile the general St. Law- rence scheme is held up because the United States has suggested an enlarged scope of the engineering inquiry and the Government here is 'negotiating on the subject, secrecy being maintained as to the addi- tional question in which Washing- ton would like to have investigation made. oR 4 Pinchot Again Flays Dry Law Violators Philadelphia, Aug. 28.--Violators of the prohibition law were flayed by Governor Pinchot in .an address before the Polish National Alliance convention here, "We have made drink illegal in America by solemn enactment in our fundamental law," declared the gov- ernor. "Men without respect for our institutions--many of them, I blush to say, native born Americans--have undertaken to nullify this provision of the constitution and set their own appetites and their own personal pro- fit above the law." The governor asked the delegates to join with him and stand "Armly against these men who havé forfeit- ed all right to be called decent Am- ericans by their peace-time treachery to the constitution." Train Is Derailed; Forty Are Killed Odessa, Aug. 28.-- Forty passengers were killed and a larger number were injured when the express from Odessa to Moscow, which left here last night, was derailed 200 miles from here.

Entrance was gained to the door. Light freight had been de- livered so that only bulky, heavy pieces of freight remained in the shed. The burglars attempted to enter the ticket office in the station. They bored several holes in the door but due to a strong, double lock they were unable to gain entrance, FOUGHT WITH FISTS IN THE REICHSTAG Police Entered and Forcibly Removed Two of the Ger= man Communists. Berlin, Aug. 28.--The police entered the Reichstag yesterday afternoon for the first time in its history, forcibly removing two Communist members wko had refused Reichstag resident Walraf's demand that they leave the chamber. This unpresedent- ed action followed a wild tu-. mult at this morning's session, when a regular fist fight ooccur- red, wherein Herr Brodsuf, of the Democratic party, received a black eye and was otherwise so roughly handled that friends had to carry him from the hail and summon a physician, Fists flew right and left during the melee, and several members, beside Brodauf, carried away marks of the fray, President Walraf 16ft fis seat in disgust thus automatically closing the session, but the row continued on the Reichstag floor for some minutes before the par ticipants could be quieted. GIRL CHANGED HER MIND. She Turned Down Hubby.-To-Be for Oshawa Young Man. Oshawa, Aug. 28.--Engaged to be married to a young man in Cobourg, a Prince Edward county girl recent- ly performed the feat of leaving home with an Oshawa young man. Naturally the hubby-to-be was upset and according to latest information is still in that condition, the young lady being in Oshawa at present. The Cobourg young man searched far and wide without success. Arm- ed with a photograph, he compared it with girls who disembarked from the Rochester ferry with the same result. Police departments were notified of the disappearance and on Tues- day License Inspector Mason of this city telephoned Cobourg that the happy pair were here, | The girl's parents communicated with the police with a view to get- ting assistance, but it is doubtful whether any charge can b~ laid against "the man who came be- tween." Give Moths Pneumonia, New Way to End Pests London, Aug. 28.--Moth balls and lavender bags now are oul of date as a means of getting rid of moths. The really latest method of exter- minating these pests is to give them -----pneumonia! That isn't so difficult as it sounds. When it-is found moths have got iito one's best coat, that article should at once be placed in a refrig- erator and left there several days, then suddenly expose for a short time in a temperature of about 50 degrees, and then again refrigerated. After this treatment it is said any article whether clothes or furniture, will be entirely free of moths, ranvoys to Japan and Mexico.

In response to radio messages from Captain Hickson, ambulances were waiting at - the pier and those of the injured who required hospital treatment wera taken to various institutions as soon as the liner docked. None of the Passengers, it is believed, are fatally hurt. Sixteen members of the crew received injuries. Officers of the liner reported that the vessel encountered a ter- rific hurricane Tuesday afternoon off Nantucket. The ship nosed into the storm and rough seas without damage, but a giant wave rolled over her about 3 p.m. shattering her upper structure from bow to stern and shaking up the passen- gers rosghly. The list of the vessel was caused by a shifting of the cargo. The Arabic was on her first trip as a cabin Ship under the White Star flag, and came from Hamburg and Cherbourg via Halifax, where she landed many of her original 385 cabin and 226 steerage passen- gers. Originally the Arabic was the North German Lloyd liner Berlin, and she is a staunch twin screw ship of 16,786 gross tonnage with a reputation as a storm defier. She sailed from Halifax late on Monday night after a comparatively tran- 44auil trip to that port, and encount- ered the hurricane yesterday when off the Massachusetts coast. The Hurricane.

Between eighty and one hundred passengers, mostly women and chil- dren, were gathered in the main lounge when ther wave struek. The furniture in this room, . which is amidships, was not made fast for the most part, and the loose 'pieces were hurled with the men, women and children, into the afigle on the port side in a general mix-up. As | the ship righted itself from the ter- rific blow the stewards began ex- tricating the fallen passengers, many of whom had sustained ! bloody cuts and lacerations. In other parts of the ship the furniture was fast, but passengers were thrown to the decks and bruised, some seriously. Water poured down through ventilators, drenching all who happened to be nearby. On the boat deck the few who were out were saved from be- ing swept overboard by the railing and the rolling chairs which form- ed a barrier. Port Holes Crushed In. Port holes were crushed in and there was scarcely a cabin that did not get drenched. Improvised couches were put up in the dry spots, where many of the passen- gers slept until the ship docked to- day. . The ship's supply of fresh water was contaminated, but owing to the short distance from port little dis- comfiture resulted, as bottled wat- ers were supplied. The hip had all the ear-marks of. having gone through a terri storm. Four life rafts and one lifes boat had been swept overboard, nine other boats were badly smashed and practically all outsile wood- work on the decks was scarred or smashed in. The most seriously injured was Frank Kearney, of Liverpool, a ship's fireman, who sustained a fractured spine in an effort to res- cup a little girl who was being toss ed about in the wreckage.
