"It was some time late when I was suddenly awakened by my maid, Whose room is nxt to mine. She came in and grabbed me by the arm and said there had been a terrible accident] I got up and went out and it was then and only then that I saw Ward or any of the others in his party," Mra. Prior also took exception to the statement contained in a To- ronto paper to the effect that Mrs. Brown was a partner in "The House That .Jack Built." "She positively had no interest in the place" Mrs, Prior "stated to The Times, It' has been reported that Mrs, Prior was in the Ward car when the accident took place. This she denies positive- 1y, and she is considering taking legal action against a Toronto paper which so stated, "Why did Ward come at so late an hour?" Mrs, Prior was asked. "A Mrs, Mouckley who was with him had some clothes for a little boy who was visiting with us. They were coming from Toronto and brought them along." It is understood that Mrs, Prior will not be called as a witness at the inquest tonight, Her son Ken- neth, who found the bedy of his aunt in the ditch eighty feet from the scene of the accident will be called, Medical evidence will lye given by Drs, Rundle and Wilson who attended Miss Appleton after the accident and examined the body of Mrs, Brown, Police state that an autopsy was performed, at the re- quest of the Coroner, Police did some valuable work when they unearthed the fact that Phillip Pritchard, Verdun road, was driven home in- David Prusky's car by Peter Seymond at midnight on Wednesday, an hour hefore the trag- edy occurred, Pritchard has been served with a summons to.appear as witness tonight, It is also been DEVELOPMENT OF EXPORT TRADE (Continued from page one) have a buying power between $10 and $100 a year; some 200,000 have buy- ing power approximately higher than the average in Canada; the remainder spends on an average no more than one dollar or $1.25 a year. FINE ARRAY G. CARS AT THE CAE. (Continued from page 1) senger automobiles must be contented with a vast display in the Automobile building, General Motors commercial units have had built for them a verit- able "Palace of Transportation." It stands, this palace, in the western Canada's interest in Java 8 on the million with some buying pow- er, and particularly upon the 200,000 who own motor cars and whose homes have such luxuries as wealth can bring. Java has, the speaker de- clared, as good roads as are to be found in Ontario and relatively as many, Motoring is popular amongst the wealthier classes. He finds that Oshawa, through the motor industry here, has a definite stake in Java. Canadian canned goods of a' certain class, hams, bacon, other cured meats; fabries, dolls and paper are also find- ing a growing market in Mr, O'Meara's territory. Passing from trade to the land it- self, Mr. O'Meara described Java as the most beautiful and best ordered country in the tropics, Its people are faithful, cleanly, industrious and law abiding. They are, however, a people without any sense of time val- ues, "Malay is a simple tongue," Mr. O'Meara deelared. "It has two words, invariably used in greeting, which expresses the native's attitude ex- actly. One man will hail another 'Basok?" which means 'Where are you going? and the other will reply 'Pedi mani' which means 'Tomorrow!' "Trains in Java run only at night; its highways are paved and are to be found criss-crossing the island, These highways are full of people going somewhere very much like ants. I believe that it is impossible to go 100 yards anywhere without encountering some 300 people. "Public services are most excellent. I can talk to an office at the other end of the island and hear as plainly as you do over your local telephone sys- tem. The connection is put through in three minutes or less. Sanitation in the cities has done away with Ba- tavia's old reputation as the grave- yard of Europeans. learned that Seymond accompanied by Pritchard returned to Walter Green's home from where he had taken Prusky's car, a little before midnight, Detective Ward who has been sus- | pended by Chief of Police Dickson of Toronto, pending the findings of the inquest will testify tonight as will other members of the party. Mr, and Mrs. Walter Green, David Prusky, and persons who, it is al- leged, saw the Ward party at The Waverley Inn will also give evidence.

Java is deadly monotonous to all but tourists, Just below the equator, its temperature varies from the stan- dard 89 only about three degrees one way or another throughout the year. Its days and nights are also mono- tonously equal; the only break in the dead level of the seasons is a rainy period of about two month's duration, For these reasons, Canadian trade commissioners to the tropics, such as Java, return home for one year out of each three, "And no matter what post our com- missioners hold," Mr, O'Meara stated, "they stay away from Canada for not more than four years before be- ing brought back to renew their con- tacts. "That is what T am doing now in my trip from coast to coast, I am getting. in touch with the people of the country I am serving. On my (trip I hope to see all those exporting to my territory, and I also hope to in- duce others to market their products in the East Indies, "Incidentally, our service is not for export manufacturers alone, We are ready to serve any Canadian in any way that we can through information or any other practical manner." The Rotary Club's appreciation of Mr. O'Meara's speech was voiced by Rotarian Lovell which was carried with hearty applause. A letter of appreciation for the Club's efforts in behalf of the Girls' Work Board in sending some 25 girls to a camp at Bobcageon was received from Mrs. W, H, Tait. A gong for the use of the president was presented by Rotarian Lovell. This gong was bought at Ypres. The gift was accepted on behalf of the club by President Storie.

At the corners and around the sides stand massive round columns supporting a golden roof. The roof is transparent, and down through it comes a golden glow of light which catches the bright finish of the vehicles below and turns them into things of beauty in line and shadow and colour. Along the beams supported by the pillars (which seem to be made of pure white stone) are great bronze letters spelling out "Gen- eral Motors of Canada, Limited." Fine Array Bathed in the golden rays which fil- ter through the magic ceiling is an array of vehicles which catch the eye of even the most casual passer-by. Gleaming in the foreground are two chasses, one a General Motors truck and the other a Chevrolet truck. Not ordinary chasses are these; both are resplendent in ivory and silver. All the frames are ducoed in ivory and all the parts which would ordinarily show a surface of steel are brightly nickel-plated. He who would know everything about the "workings" of a truck may study every part in these chasses to his hearts' content. Standing out among the finished models is a Pontiac deluxe panel de- livery model in two shades of French gray, It vies in beauty with the mighty General Motors truck which is finished in gleaming bronze Duco, An- other of the large models carries a custom-built panel body, and three or four other Chevrolet and General Mo- tors models complete an exhibit that is as complete as only the General Motors line can make it. In addition to the trucks there are also photographs of the heavy-duty models, and a marvellous plaque of the proving groupd, showing every hill and dale on Be vast expanse. . This does' not end the truck exhibit however, for in the Construction build- ing standing out from whichever way oné looks is another General Motors truck, finished in aluminum Duco trim- med with dark blue and illuminated by a cleverly concealed spotlight. Other trucks are shown in the displays of the various body makers. An education in completeness is the great display of General Motors pas- senger cars which dominates the Auto- mobile building. "A car for every purpose," the General Motors slogan, is well exemplified by this array of beautiful transportation units. Road- sters and phaetons which exemplify with sedans and coupes which repres- business or pleasure, Three Cut-Away Chassis "Conceal nothing," That is the way confidence is built. And that is why General Motors have on show this year three cut-away chassis that reveal to the prospective purchaser the ianer- most workings of their cars. Chie of these cut-away chasses is that dis- played by Oldsmobile, which is attend- of the Oldsmobile This, chassis, which was a feature of arranged that every working part may be viewed in action. So difficult was the task of cutting up this chassis that it cost far more to build than would a standard model. Similar working chassis models are shown by Pontiac and McLaughlin- Buick, both gleaming in bright colours and heavy nickel-plating. Throughout the whole General Mo- tors exhibit a wealth of colour is visible in harmonious combinations, typifying the increase in the use of colour, which is said to be due to the influence of women. A five-passenger Cadillac sedan is ducoed in Peter Pan blue and Wendy blue. Another Cadillac model boasts Everglades blue as its dominant color. Strange are the names of the colors For instance, a magnificent LaSalle Victoria, which attracted considerable interest on Saturday, is finished in Czarina beige, with desert sand as its upper shade. LaForce gray is the dominant note of a LaSalle sedan, while red and black mark the roadster and convertible coupe. An unfinished Fisher body displays the strength of Fisher steel and wood construction. Nearby is a Pontiac spe- cial deluxe sedan in two shades of gray, with white molding and a gold stripe, upholstered in grey velour, with nickel-plate rims and walnut interior trimmings. Pontiac also shows the new brown colours on the cabriolet. It would take a book to describe in detail all the varied models which tempt the eye and the purse in the General Motors exhibit. The recently-announ- ced McLaughlin models for 1928 are expected to attract unabated interest throughout the entire two weeks of the »xhibition, as are the long, rakish models of the new Canadian Oakland Six. Among the Mcl.aughlin-Buicks on exhibit is the new Town Brougham on the 120-inch wheelbase, and the Oakland exhibit displays the varied new the spirit of youth stand side by side ent the acme of perfection in cars for ed by E.

All arrangements have been completed for Oshawa's Mara- thon swim entrant to start with some 400 other distance aspirants Wed- nesday morning. Fawcett has under- gone a rigid physical examination by Dr. H. M. MacDonald, the local com- mittee's honorary surgeon, and was found fit in every way. He left today for Toronto to receive final instruc- tions regarding the big swim. The rowboat which will accompany Fawcett in his swim and christened "The Motor City" is being furnished by W. H. Barnhart of this city. The motor launch which will stand-by dur- ing every stage of the big effort has been secured, A final drive for the Oshawa swim committee's expense account is being made today and tomorrow. It is point- ed out by the committee that on Thursday morning Oshawa will be the home of one of the few to cross the finish line, and there is more than a possibility that Ernest Fawcett may be the only Canadian to complete the course. Those who help the financial end of the venture will have a special share in the honor, it is stated. Previously acknowledged, ,$252.85 Maintenance Dept, 5.60 Sheet Metal, 12.45 Paint Shop.
