It was the duty of every right-thinking man in the community to assist in correcting such conditions, he said. "This is an awful thing--an awful situation in Port Burwell," Magistrate Maxwell said. "Here are two deaths that have occurred this year from the effect of drinking liquor to excess and improperly. I think ihe people of this village ought to take this lesson seri- ously to heart," The Magistrate particularly deplored the juvenile situation in the village, as revealed by the evidence, and he scor- ed young Horlick for admittedly giving false evidence that had resulted in Lawrence Crawford being charged with manslaughter in connection with young Vaughan's death, Horlick, both at the inquest and the preliminary hearing against Crawford, swore to hiding a bottle for the cripple and of later showing Vaughan where it was hidden, The next week before the Grand Jury young Horlick confessed that this evidence was untrue, Boy Would Take Drink . One 12-year-old boy, under exam- ination today, admitted that he had drunk wine before, while another boy, when asked by Mr, McCrimmon, "You would not take a drink out of a bot- tle, would you?" replied, "If they of- fered it to me, I would." Dr, Hugh Johnson, of Port Burwell, who conducted the inquest, was called as an expert witness on the intoxicat- ing effect of wine, while Miss Alice Pretty and Russel Brady gave evi- (Continued on page 9) --_---- PREMIER LOSES HIS FAITHFUL DOG Quebec, Nov. 14.--Hon. L, A. Taschereau, Prime Minister of Quebec, has lost a faithful friend. On his return from the inter-pro- vincial conference at Ottawa the Premier was informed that his de. voted cocker spaniel "Gamin" had been killed by an automobile qur- ing his absence.

ANOTHER MAN OF MYSTERY APPEARS IN JURY SCANDAL Washington, Nov. 14.--Another man of mystery appeared suddenly today in the picture of the oil con- spiracy jury scandal. He was introduced by William J. McMullin, Government informer against William J. Burns and his letectives who shadowed the Fall- Sinclair trial jury, but his identity 18 well as his connection with the 'ase was carefully guarded by the Federal attorne;s. The stranger came here from Philadelphia with McMullin in the latter's automobile; was closeted with Government counsel for nearly an hour, and then left the District of Columbia Supreme Court with a Government agent and under strict injunctions not to talk, He prob- ably will go before the Grand Jury tomarrow, The secrecy which the prosecutors threw. ahout the new witness con- vineced observers that his testimony is regarded as of high importance in corroborating, if not extending, that already given by MeMullin ng "ens, his son, W.

They shot a moose Saturday, and later arranged to go and get the carcass out, William Foster and Macdonald went ah2ad to hunt, the other two following with a horse. Macdonald circled about through the bush, and, seeing the hindquart- ers of the horse through the trees, mistook it for a moose and fired at the point where he believed the head would be, The bullet from the big game rifle went through Foster's head. Macdonald was arrested by rovineial Constables Keen and Carmichael. CHICKEN PIE SUPPER WAS MUCH ENJOYED Oshawa Lodge No, %y rinights of Pythias held i's rogular meeting last Friday night when the Third Rank was exemplified and other business transacted, after which a chicken pie supper was in order, which was sery- ed in the dining hall where the ta- bles were laden with chicken pies, cakes, and pumpkin pies. An or- chestra and also speeches from lo- cal members and visiting Bros. were then on the order sheet. Boys try to be present every Fri- day night; you may miss something good, WHY NOT THE BEST? When a very superior article can be had at the same price as an in- ferior article one has no hesitation in taking the better one, That is human nature. In the Canadian news- paper field there is one "best," and that fact is admitted by all. The Family Herald and Weekly Star of Montreal is in a class entirely by itself, and Canada is proud of it. It is a wonderful combination of three publications, a great newspaper, a slean, wholesome family magazine and an agricultural paper without an equal All three in one big 72 page paper, and all three for the price of one--only a dollar a year. You should have your own. local paper without doubt, but your home would be enriched by the weekly vis- it of The Family Herald and Weekly Star. You will pever regret it.

He declared that he knew both nf Mr, McGibbon's immediate pre. decessors, namely Col. Farewell, and. Lieut. Col. Grierson, "These gentlemen gave distin- enighed service to the King," Mr. Mitchell declared. "Col. Farewell served in the Rebellion of '66; Co). Grierson served in the Northwest campaign of 1885, But Mr. McGib- hon served in the greatest war in history, and his service to the King was, perhaps, the most distinguished of the three.

Phillips Company, Lim- ited, Offer to Equip Room in the South Simcoe Public School Extension With Windows Through Which May Pass Healing Ultra- violet Rays of the Sun, Shut Out By Ordinary Glass -- Care Check to Be Made cf Pupils Who Occu- Oshawa is to have the first pub- lie school in Canada eouipped with windows thiongh which the heal- ing ultra-violet rays of the sun, hitherto shut out by ordinary glass, may pass to bring health to the pu- pils. concerned. The W. E. Phillips Company, Li- mited, is equipping a room in the extension to the Simcoe South Pub- lic School which is now under con- struction with violet-ray glass which that company is manufacturing with no expence to the city. The offer was officially presented to the Board of Education at {its meeting last night and unanimously accepted on motion of Trustee Norris. The Board also ordered a letter sent to the company thanking them for the gift. Careful check will be kept of the pupils who will ocenpy the room, and it is believed that the first year's renort will be of great inter- est to science and to educationists in general. It is freely predicted that with- in a few years all windows will be of the new type of glass which ad- mits the sun's ultra-violet rays in which the healing principle of light, particularly valuable in conditions tending to tuberculosis, is contained. Insufficient Clothing To Be No Excuse For Children Not Attending Schools Parents Able to Clothe Chil- dren, Who Neglect to Do So, Will Be Dealt With By Magistrate, Who Now Has Wider Powers Under Chil- dren's Protection Act --On Other Hand Where Real Need Exists, Attendance Officer Will See Children Are Sufficiently and Neatly Clad No child in Oshawa will be kept from school this winter because of insufficient clothing. Parents able to clothe their children but who send them out insufficiently clad will learn that the city Police Magis- trate has recently been granted wide powers under the children's protec- tion acts of Ontarin, and that or- ganizations concerned will not hesi- tate to invoke that authority in the children's behalf. On the other hand, where real need exists, the at- tendance officer, A, L.- W. Smith, |is acting as clearing agent for Osh- awa benevolence which has pledg- ed itself to see that the children of the very poor are sufficiently and neatly clothed. The Home and =-'ool clubs are tang an active interest in the matter; church organizations have been interested by Mr. Smith who seems to regard his office as some- thing else than merely g&tatistics and instilling fear of authority into the minds of the young, He declares that the problem of truancy is very often one that does- 't concern the children at all ex- 'ent as the victims. For some boys that have given trouble in the mat- ter of attendance and discipline he has organized special classes wnich meet weekly at both - the. Simcoe south school and at the Ritson school. The work while just in the initial stages is already showing definite results. The clothing problem is his lat- est effort and his appeal is meet- ing with generous responses throughout 'the city. OBREGON ASSAILANT DIES FROM HIS BULLET WOUNDS Mexico City, Nov. 14.--Antonio Tirado, one of three men held at Police Headquarters for the at- tempted assassination of Alvaro Obregon, Presidential candidate, died today from bullet wound re- ceived while fleeing from the scene, according to information in posses- sion of Capital newspapers. PUBLICISTS AGREE ON WAR WARNING London, Nov. 14.--Lord Rother- mere's warning that, nine years after the war to end war, Europe is sink- ing into an attitude of armed ex- pectancy exactly similar to that of 1914 was endorsed today by Lord Cecil. "Lord Rothermere is right," said Lord Cecil. "At present temptation to war is now arising chiefly because of the great financial stringency which is affecting the nations. As Lord Rothermere indicates, we have been made too poor to fight. There is certain to he a pause of some years before the danger of war be- comes imminent. Those years must be regarded as time given to erect 'a barrier against war." . NOTES FOUND IN COAT SUGGEST MAN DROWNED Niagara Falls, Ont., Nov. 13.--It is believed that J. J. Fitzpatrick, ad- dress unknown, jumped into the Ni- agara River about a mile south of Usher's Creek. A coat was found at noon today with two notes in in- side pockets: *"To the finder: Please notify police of finding this. My body will be found near this spot in the water," Kindly see that my watch is forwarded to my wife. God bless vou for your assistance, I am plac- ing in a metal box in my trousers pocket a note of identification, simi- lar to that in the leather case in my coat--J, J. Fitzpatrick." The other note -read: 'Also notify my father, Frank Fitzpatrick 316 East Twelfth Street, Tucson, Ariz. U.S.A. and my brother, Dr. F. J. Fitzpatrick, 3125 Twenty-fourth Street, Philadelphia, U.S.A." The matter has been reported to the Pro- vincial Police, and dragging was started this afternoon, so far with- ofit results. 'BENCH WARNS JURYMEN AGAINST "TAMPERING" Milton, Nov. 14.--Before \the D'Angelo trial adjourned here this afternoon to resume tomorrow, Chief Justice Meredith, warning the jury not to allow any one to talk with them of the case, referred to the Fall-Sinclair trial at Washing- ton, and the suggestion there of "jury-tampering." There was in that case, he nnted, evidence of a most serious attemnt to interfere with the working of justice. "That sort of thing," he contin- ved, "was worse in this country years apo than row. Bt even nov, wnder all kirds of pr-iences, jury- men pva graken to: Sooo dia~ tho case they have to determipe." dling COURT ACQUITS WOMAN AND GIVES HER TEN DOLLARS New York, Nov. 14.--"It is a sad "om entary for me to make," said Magistrate Simpson in Tombs Court today, "but it seems that those who leserve help often don't receive it." Thereupon he discharged Bessie Less, who is 80 years old, and of- fended the law and Policeman Don- nelly of the old slip station by ped pretzels from an uncovered tray in Battery Park yesterday. Fur- thermore, he gave her $10, and three women rushed up to the bench to give another $15. "lI don't want the money," she wept when the Magistrate gave her the $25. "I didn't earn it." GOURTS T0 DECIDE CONTROL OF POWER Quebec Premier Hopes for a Speedy Solution of the Question Quebec, Nov 14,--'"We hope that the Ottawa Government will agree to snbmit the matter of water pow- er control to the courts =» that we can have a speedy derision and pro- reed with the development of these water powers," stated Premier Tas- rhereau in making his first state- ment since returning from the in- ter-nrovineial confeence in Ottawa. "As far as Queber and Ontario are concerned." added Mr. Tasch- erean, "as well as the other prov- inces who are interested in this question, we very strongly held that the water powers on the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers are the pronerty of the provinces and we will eontinne to uphold this with vieor. There is a crying demard for power in Ouehee and Ontario, and it is a real pity that all this power shk~uld he allowed to ro to waste. That is why we are anxinns that there he no protract- ed litigation, and that the matter should be referred immediately to the Supreme Court and the Privy Council so that we shall soon know who really owns the water powers.' Scott Act Hampers Tre Prime Minister, who stated himself as being frankly impressed with the good feeling which had prevailed at the conference and the zood will whieh existed, voiced his aninion of the Scott Act as rreatly hampering the provinces which have the control of the sale of liquor. In this respect, Mr. Tascherean, in referring to the great friendliness whirh existed between Quebec and Ontaio, stated: "I hope this co-oneration between nur vrovinre ard Ontario will lead to the best wnderstanding between ns. - T believe that perfect under- *tanding between Ontario and Que- hee, the two oldest provinces of the Paminion, is essential to the wel- fare of Canada" Premier Tascherean said that while no definite action had result- ed at the conference itself, good would come from it. Both Que- her and Ontario were unanimous in their decision that the pratural re- sources should be returned to the western provinces, and that special treatment should be given to the Maritimes until such time as normal conditions are restored, INQUEST JURY'S VERDICT PROVES NON-COMMITTAIL Welland, Nov. 14.--A verdict of death from a fractured skull was re- turned at the inquest this afternoon into the death of Roger Durk, who. with two others, was fatally injured when a motoreycle driven by Ken Lusty of = Port Colgorne crashed into their car on Aug. 28. The jury also found that the motorcycle was travelling at too high speed and could not be controlled. They rec- ommended that legislation be passed making it compulsory for drivers of motor vehicles to take out public liah#lity insurance. 'Lusty, aged 17, driver of the mot- oreyele, was placed on the stand thie afternoon, but could throw no light on the accident, he having been so had'v injured that his memory com- pletely failed him. Dr. Duncan Al- lison conducted the inquiry.

States poison alcohol claimed a score of victims, when the bootleg- ger and his vile concoctions spranz into the limelighd, were recalled this afternoon, 'as Bert D'Angelo reappeared in court here on a charge of manslaughter. Fulice following the trail of poi- ;on-liguor selling in those July days a ye.ir ago made thirty arrests. D'Angelo was among the first to be gathered in the net. Then, one by one, prosecutions failed until only in the D'Angelo case was a conviction registered Then this, too, went in- to the discard when an appeal court granted the young Hamilton Italian, self-confessed bootlegger, the right of another trial. D'Angelo was originally cthargel with four counts of manslaughter, arising out of the deaths of James Johnston, William Maybee, Olive Guertin and George Gill. On this quartet of accusatiops he was tried by a jury before Mr. Justice Rose in the Milton court on Nov. 17, 1926. The hearing of the evidence took two days, and then the ju:y pronounced him not guilty on three counts, but guilty on the charge in- volving the death "of "Maybee. A (Continued on page 8) MAN HELD MAY BE A JAILBREAKER Suspect Arrested in Arizona May Be Frank Martron Wanted in London --- Lendon, Ont, Nov 15--That a man suspected of being Frank Mar- tron, who, together with Edward Harlton, took part in the most sen- sational jail-break in the history of Middlesex County here on Sept. 18, had been arrested at Douglas, Ari- zona, is the content of a telegram by Chief of Police Robert Birrel. Martron's fingerprints have been forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Identification at Washington, and a message despatched to the Sheriff at Douglas to likewise send the prints of the man under arrest there. When both copies have been examined by the Washington experts it will then be definitely established whether or not the man under arrest is really the man charged here with assault and jail-breakinz and with murder at Booneville, N. Y Details Lacking Details of the circumstances lead- ing to the man's arrest are lacking in the city. That he was arrested on a nominal charge of vagrancy when he was unable to give a good account of his actions is all the in- formation contained in the. brief message to Chief Birrell. Martron, who, in a long crime record has passed under a string of aliases, is wanted for the murder of Frank Hess, a roadhouse proprietor at Booneville, N. Y, on Sept. 8, and Chief of Police Daniel of that city likewise received word of the sus- pect's arrest in Arizona. He has turned over to the New York State Police all data at his disposal be- cause that police body is in charge of the man hunt in thé United States. Chief Dan'els is also uncer- tain shout the man's identity and is awaiting word from the Washington . Identification Bureau. If the man under arrest turns out to be Martron, it is unlikely that he will be brought back here to stand trial unless he is cleared of the Booneville murder charge AUTO OUTPY'T BATIO ON BASIS 30 TO 109 New York, Nov. 14.--The output n the automotive industry of 100 nen in the year 1914 is now being srodueed by less than 30 workers, on the basis of production efficien- ~y- as chartered for 1925 by. the National Industrial Conference Board here, the report of which has just been made novblie.
