The body was removed to the Morgue, where an autopsy was held to ascer-| tain the cause of death. Acting Chief . Coroner Crawford is investigating. Dr. Erb, pathologist, carried the wo- man's stomach away for analysis, ~~ Mrs. Colesnik works out by the day: Wednesday she returned home, feeling very sick, and went to bed. As the day progressed, she bécame worse. A * doctor was called, but on his arrival the woman was found to -be dead.

New York.--"The world price" of wheat in the coming season will de- pend to an unusual degree upon the outturn of the Canadian crop," says the National Bank of Commerce. In a review of the outlook for world wheat supplies appearing in' the Aug- wsi number of Commerce Monthly, the bank says: "Unless Canada's crop fa a generous one another season of close balance betwéen supply and de- mand is in view, at least until the fate of crops in the Southern,Hemisphere is known, "As the current season draws to- ward its 'close, supplies of old erop wheat appear everywhere to be low, so that little in the way of carry-over ean be counted upon to augment the mew crop. Comparatively little addi- tional wheat can be expected to come forward from the Southern Hemls- sphere until the next crops are har- vested at the beginning of 1927. "Reports of damage tothe new orop have come from various parts of Europe, eliminating the hope of an outturn equal to last year, but unless unfavorable weather persists there is reason to expect a fair average crop. Nevertheless, some increase in imports may be looked for. "On the export side, the July 1 estimate gives the United States a total crop about 100,000,000 bushels greater than last year. This increase will just about offset the probable de- crepse in the crop of Western Europe, as indicated by condition reports so far. "The Indian crop, harvested in May, yielded practically the same total as last year, so that no substantial con- tribution toward the world supplies can be expected from that" source. With the exception of problematical supplies from Russia, Canada is the only other important source of wheat imports until the crops of the South- ern Hemisphere become available in the early part of 1027. id Employment i in Canada Now Highest Since 1920 Ottawa.--Improvement in the em- ployment situation in Canada is re- ported by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. On the payrolls of the 5,898 firms which Dept. of Labor on July 1 were 850,718 persons, or 20,699 more than in June. These additions to staff exceeded those reported on the corresponding date of any previous year of the record, and the index of employment, at 103.7, now stands higher than in any other month. since 1920, reported 'to the!' | ent Lynd. George Saunders, a- plumber, who had previously put compressed air in the tank, was hurled several feet. He was rushed to the hospital, where medical attention was rendered. It is thought that he will recover. Har- old Godfrey, a water boy, who a few moments before the fatal explosion oc- curred ran for his life, escaped with minor injuries, At present he is in the hospital, Albert Parkes and-Edgar Kellar, two riggers, escaped with nothing more than a severe shaking up. They did not require medical attention: The huge tank had been carefully pumped out to remove any gas that might remain, and, following this, compressed air was put in to deter- mine whether or not the tank leaked. The leak was located, and it was while! an attempt to repair this was being made that the terrible mishap oc- curred. MEN CHARGED _ WITH MANSLAUGHTER Arrested in Connextion With Poison Liquor Fatalities. Toronto.--Police tightened up an-| other link in the chain of evidence surrounding the distribution of poison liquor, they say, when Max Wurtzman, 230 Beverley Street, and Henry Gold- stein, 124 Huron Street, were arrest- ed 'by Detectives Waterhouse and Winters. The two men are held on charges of manslaughter, Bail was refused by the police. The arrests, police say, were made at tho request of Deputy Commission- er Alfred Cuddy of the Ontario Pro- vincial Police. While definite information as to the trail leading up to the arrests was not given out, police say that they have established that Wurtz- man "and Goldstein were con- nected with the transportation of the poisoned liquor that caused the recent deaths at Oakville. Other local arrests are said to be imminent. ---- City Gets 3000 Francs For Broken Umbrella A broken umbrella has brought 3000 francs to the city of Rouen, France.

The body of Harold Bakewell, aged 19, of 445 Oakwood avenue, Toronto;{8 the last of the eleven victims who lost their lives nine days ago, was recover- ed carly on Thursday. The remains were floating and had drifted close to Long Point, whence the ill-fated crew of the war canoe had started their last | Journey on July 20.
