Placed by Forsyth In a statement full of sensational de- tails obtained tonight by the Ontario Provincial Police from one of the sev. en men charged with cattle stealing or other offenses, the charge is made that the explosive kept in the barn on the Nevils farm was placed there by Daniel Forsyth, the dead marauder, and was to be used in safe-blowing operations in the Beeton district, This is the most sensational development ot the many important revelations which have come since Alexander Hodge was attacked in his lonely farmhouse, The revelations regarding the dyna- mite came fast upon the arrest today of Samuel Nevils, father of the three children, upon the charge of stealing ten head or cattie from John Dermott and receiving some clothing stolen in one of the many robberies, Just after the arrest oi the father word came from Barrie that his 3- year-old daughter, Martha, had suc- cumbed to mjuries received in the ex- plosion on June 27. The third clnld is still in Barrie Hospital, William Langley, tarmer, was the seventh man arrested today. He was taken on his farm in Adjala Township and charged, along with Samuel Ne- vils, with the theft of the ten head of cattle from the farm of John Dermott, He was alu arrested after Samuel Ne- vils had made his statement to the police. Langley protested his arrest, claiming that his crops would be ruin- ed unless taken ott at once. He was however, induced to accompany the of- ficers to Barris Jail, . Another significant development to- day was an announcement that th partnership exsung between Joseph McDermott and his brother-in-law, Charles Hamill, had been dissolved. McDermott and Hamill were the two drovers who paid oyv.r the money to Hodge the might he was attacked. Hamill is asking for an accounting of the partnership. McDermott is in jail on charges of perjury, receiving stolen property and also with receiving stolen cattle, The two more arrests made today brought the number in custody to sey- en, although Samuel Nevils is on bail to attend his child's funeral. He will return to the police cells Thursday, ac- cording to an undertaking he gave the police and his bondsman, Charles Hamill, who acted solely upon com- passionate grounds, and at the urgent wish of Dr. Keith Rogers, who said Mrs. Nevils was in a serious condi- tion and nearing collapse. Under the tragic circumstances of the case, the Provincial Police did not oppose the application for bail. Brothers Arrested Samuel Nevils is a brother of El- wood Nevils, the farmbhand who has admitted frequent trips in his automo- bile with Daniel Forsyth, to the Ed- ward Hickland farm to fill grips with . stolen property, the proceeds of a doz- en robberies. Elwood Nevils, police say, has made a full confession of his participation in the crime wave around Beeton and Cookstown and even other. s. The arrest of the brother, Samuel Nevils, followed a statement given to the police by Elwood Neils, and the further revelations about the dynamite came out this evening after Samuel Nevils had been questioned by the police. Appearing before Magistrate Jeffs in Barrie Police Court today, Alfred Hartley and Reginald Andrews were remanded until Friday at 10 am. They were arrested Monday night, Andrews on two charges of stealing cattle and Hartley with stealing pigs in Tecum- seh Township. In one of the charges Andrews is associated with William Langley and Samuel Nevils. Eighth Asrest Every arrest that is made seems to bring another. Following a statement by the Provincial Police that William Langley had told them of his alleged connection with the theft of 11 cattle, a warrant was issued tonight for the arrest of his neighbor in Adjala Town- ship, Frank Skelly, charging Skelly with stealing mine head of cattle. Skelly was locked up in Barrie Jail AS GENEVA ANTIDOTE (By Canadian Press) London, Aug. 10,--~TheBrit. ish Newspapers devoted much space to the upening of the Peupe Bridge between Fort Erie, Ont,, and Buffalo, N.Y,, sunday, The Daily News says It was a stroke of unde. served good fortune that so soon after the dismal break. down of the Tri Partite Naval Conférence that Rritish and American statesmen should be able to meet together on Cane adian territory in the opening of the new bridge of Peace, COTTON GROP IN U5, T0 BE LOW Government Estimates Yield | at 13,492,000 Bales Washington, Aug, 10.---A cotton erop of 13,492,000 hales was pre- dicted by the Agriculture.

QUEBEC DENIES VOTE TO WOMEN But Feminist Movement is Thoroughly Alive end Growing Montreal, Que., Aug. 10.--Miss Alice Dresser, Provineial Convener of Legislation for Women's Insti- tutes has sent out a gemeral letter to members in which she says: "The province of Quebec has many claims to fame. There is one point of distinction which, however, we do not care to mention. In Quebec women may mot vote in the provin- cial elections. This grievance of course, is not accepted in silence. "The women of Quebec have been waiting for many years, and the waiting period is not yet ended. This is the time for them to learn as much as possible about the prob- lems our law-maekrs are facing. The newspapers touch on these | subjects daily and women should ! discus them with other women." And--meantime--it is pointed out that there is much that women, voteless though they may be, can do to influence the legislation of the province. "A woman does not need the vote im order to have the house painted to suite her taste, or to di- rect the family vacation trip to- wards Toronto instead of the White Mountains.

"Nearly all our girls work, even the daughters of the well-to-do. We have a great many women dentists, our dental college admit- ting each year an equal number of male and female students. The medical profession seems to at- tract many of our women also, and then, of course, they arg found in hospitals, offices, stores and fac- tories." Polities are' alluring to a great many of the Danish women, accord- ing to Miss Christensen, and al- ready the important position of Minister of Education, Literature and Art. has been filled by one of them. For two years Mrs. Nina Bang occupied this position in a Socialistic Ministry. The voting privilege is appreciated by Danish women as a whole, but those in the Labor ranks use it most con- scientiously. Asked concerning the educational system of her country, Miss Chris- tensen referred with pide to the Folk High Schools, where during wihter months, most helpful cour- ses in agriculture and many other types of "culture" are givem for the benefit of young men and wo- men on farms. As school days frequently end for this portion of the mation at the early age of 14 the winter courses of the Folk High Schools make possible exten- sion work in many subjects.
