Rs, THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, MARCH 26, 192¢ PAGE THREE oung Man Fatally Injured In Gravel Pit Near City Three Boys From Eight | To Ten Years Old Are Caught Robbing Store Are Detected in Act of Bur- manded Until Thursday -- Officer McGee Effects Ar- vest After Finding Rear Door Tampered With and Basement Window Broken Three boys, 8. 9, and 10 years of age, were caught in the act of bur- glarizing the local store this morn- ing. Judge A. F. Hind allowed two of them suspended sentence and re- manded the other until Tuesday of this week for sentence. Shortly after seven o'clock last evening, when Censtable McGee of the local force was inspecting pre- mises in the business district, he found that the rear door of Steel's store, Simcoe street south, had been tampered with. Further investiga- tion disclosed that a cellar window had been broken in, and, with re- volver ready, the officer entered the store to look into the matter, Here he found the two younger boys lying behind some cases, ap- parently hiding, and after a search found the third lad near the front of the store, where he had been rummaging when disturbed. The boys had stolen cigarettes and tobacco, but of course, all of their loot was recovered when they were arrested. The lads were tak- en to the police station and regis- tered, and then to the Children's Shelter to await trial this morn- ing. In this morning's Juvenile Court session, T. K. Creighton appeared for two of the boys, whose parents were also present. A plea of guilty was entered in each case, and, on recommendation of Crown Attorney J. A, McGibbon, sentence was sus- pended. This was a first offence for each of the boys, and their par- ents were hound over for $200 each, and ordered to pay the costs, $17.- 75 each, In the third case, no one appear- ed for the boy until the father ar- rived, very late, After he did come, he showed such indifference to his son's fate that Judge Hind remark- ed 'you are just as guilty as your son; and, if the Children's Aid In- spector finds sufficient evidence to charge you with neglecting your children, T will support him in the charge." The man had said, quite indifferently, that he could not control this 8-year-old hoy, and did not know where he was from the time he left school until he retired to bed at nine or ten o'clock at night, Officers of the court state that nearly all of his older sons have been in trouble of some kind, and that he does very little to keep a parental check on them. He said he had no money to pay costs, so Judge Hind remanded the hoy for sentence till Thursday, to give his father time to think over the mat- ter. All of the three boys con- cerned in this case are Polish, JaTH ANNIVERSARY OF THEIR WEDDING Mr. and Mrs. John Hamlyn Honored By Friends-- Many Gifts On Friday evening a number of friends of Mr. and Mrs. John Hamlyn met at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Steve Wiggans, near Whitby and spent a very enjoyable evening, celebrating the thirty- fifth anniversary of their wedding. During the evening Mr. and Mrs. Hamlyn were presented with a peautiful fern stand and fern by their son, Gordon, om behalf of their three sons and their three daughters, Mr. and Mrs. S. Wig- gans, Mr. and Mrs. Shorton, 'Mr. and Mrs. Toms, Cecil Lewis and Gordon. Mr. and Mrs. Barrett, Mr. and Mrs. Towney, of Niagara Falls, who were present for the occasion, also presented them with ferns. Miss Hogg of Toronto gave them a beautifully engraved spoon, and they were made the recipients of a lovely silver tea pot from the I. T.B. Association. Mr. and Mrs Hamlyn were taken completely by surprise, but they thanked the guests for their gifts in a very suitable manner. Another pleas- ing event took place when Mr. Steve Wiggan, who is pianist for the L.T.B. Association, was pre- sented with a beautiful emblem ring by members of the lodge for his serviees during the past year. Refreshments were served by the three daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Hamlyn. "AVC: PUBLIC UTILATIES TAX Woodstock, March 25. -- The Woodstock City Council will sup- port the petition of the Peterboro Council asking the Onario Legisla- ture to amend the Municipal Act so as to make public utilities li- able for all general taxes on their property. OSHAWA DISTRICT LEADS METROPOLITAN LIFE'S BUSINESS The Oshawa, Ont, District closed the year 1927 with the best all-round record of any district of the Metro- politan Life Insurance Company in the Dominion of Canada, and also stood eighth from the top among all the districts of the company. An indication of the business done by the Dsitrict staff can be gained from the fact that the average net gain per month per man for ordin- ary and group insurance written last year exceeds $3,300. L. S. Marsh was in charge of the Oshawa District from December 27, 1926, until November 28, 1927 when he was transferred to the Metro- politan's new office in London, and was succeeded as Manager of the Oshawa District by James Judge. PYTHIANS START SPRING PROGRAM Page Rank Exemplified Fri- day Night--Received Many Applications Oshawa Lodge No. 47 Knights of Pythias has started its spring acti- vities with the Page rang exempli- fied last Friday night and several more applications in for approval. Visitors from Toronto lodges were present and are welcome at al times. Come again boys. Two major activities will feature an extension program adopted by (Oshawa Lodge, Knights of Pythias, at its meeting last Friday night, ac- cording to Chancellor Commander Bro. Tattersall, who announced that increased attendance at lodge meet- ings and a goal of 25 applications for membership would be the prin- cipal objective of the lodge during the early spring. Both of these ac: tivities, he explained, were in har- mony with a program outlined by Supreme Lodge officers and in which a large number of the six thousand lodges were now cngaged, An attendance committee has been appointed to work with the enter- tainment committee to provide pro- grams of unusual interest each week. "There has been a general awak- ening among all fraternal societies in the importance of a better atten- dance at lodge meetings" said Chan- cellor Commander Bro. Tattersall, "Many lodges have divided their membership and instituted contests in attendance and in the number of applications for membership. Our attendance committee is at work on a plan which we believe will appeal to our members and result in a much greater percentage of attendance and bring a large number of new mem- bers." "All over the country there is a growing demand for a more definite and practical program of fraternal endeavor' It will be the work of this committee to present broader conceptions of the value of frater- nity in civic and social life and to develop greater interest in fraternity through more regular attendance at lodge meetngs. The Pythian frater- nity has been a great factor in com- munity life. It is composed of men who have gone into the world and by ministration touched life with sympathy and practical aid. In re- cent years, the lodge, like many other fundamental service institu- tions, has been neglected. It is the purpose of this committee to restore cur membership to a greater degree of appreciation of fraternal brother- hood and - enlist them in a more community needs of the time." Mr. Gillard, keeper of records and seal, announced that all members of the lodge could obtain a free medical examination for themselves and their families by writing to the Insurance Department of the Order located at Indianapolis, Ind, He urged the members to avail themselves of this service as a means of protecting themselves against any lurking dis- case. This service, he said, will give information which may be invaluable because it will discover hidden mal- ady in time to correct it by consul- tation with the family physician. He said that a letter addressed to the Insurance Department could bring information covering the extent of this service.

J, H., Luesby of the North Bay Fire Department was tonight carried unconscious from a burning building on the sturdy shoulders of his son, James, and Fireman Hodgins, who volunteer- ed for the task. Overcome by smoke and men- aced by flames, Capt. Lueshby had lain unconscious in the building for a period estimated at from 15 to 25 minutes before his son, roped to Fireman Hodgins, found his prostrate body in the basement. Groping their way through the dense fumes, the rescuers barely had enough strength to deposit their burden in the open air, Son Is Summoned When word was passed through the crowd that Capt. Luesby was trapped a spectator rushed to the Luesby home, near by, and sum- moned the son. With a rope around bis waist, the son immediately plunged into the building, but, overcome by smoke, he was forced to call for help and was at once pulled from the building by fire- men. Waiting long enough only to re- gain his strength, James again ven- tured into the building, roped to Fireman Hodgins, who volunteer- ed for the task. x Following emergency treatment administered by Dr. F. E. B. Me- Gilvray, Capt. Luesby, still uncon- scious, was taken to the Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital, where tonight his condition, while serious, is mot critical. £30,000 Loss The stocks of two stores, the Variety Store, and Reg Jones, tail- Stock 2 p.m, 833% 181% 195% 117% 263% 64% 214% 63% 27% 389% 21% 56% 86 84% 196% 98 98% 50% 95% 75 5674 93 350% 6% 156% 104% 643% 46% 150% 262 23% 188%; 33% 26% 985 64 46% 148% 262 221; 187 33% 26% or, were destroyed, while eight apartments in the same building | were damaged by smoke and water. WHITBY Representative James Holden Phone House 15 ~~ Office 434 POWERFUL SERMON AT ALL SAINTS' Rev. T. G. A. Wright Takes Inspiring Text as Basis of Discourse ; (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, March 26.--A searching address on Jesus' statement to the Jews, '"'Before Abraham was, I am," found in John 8, 58, was given by Rev. T. G. A. Wright as his sermon for the fifth Sunday in Lent at All Saints' Anglican church, last night. The speaker pointed out that these words of Jesus. were spoken when he came in clash with the religious leaders of the Hebrew nation at a great religious festival in Jerusalem unix months before the Feast of the Passover and His crucifixion. Their meaning, he stated, was clearly understood by the Jews for Christ was laying claim to be the promised Messiah and Saviour of Israel from the beginning of things. His hearers were incited to stone him but he evaded them in the dense crowds that thronged the city. Rev. Wright claimed that God was sometimes known to the Jews by the'name "I Am" and he re- ferred to the incident recorded in Exodus concerning Moses at the ed Moses to lead his captive fellow men out of Egypt. As his author- ity for undertaking this mission Moses was told to tell the people these words, "I am that I am." Certain modern. scholars, Rey, Wright continued, considered that the original Hebrew for this had almost a double tense meaning, present and future, thus 'indicat- ing that the Saviour of the nation at times of crises in Old Testa- ment times was to he the promis ed Messiah, In this way Christ had laid claim to His Divinity in a bold assertion which roused Ihe anger of the religious leaders who ultimately succeeded in a plot for his death. The speaker conclud- ed by expressing his thanknlnese that the church should be charged with teaching this lesson so short- ly before thé observance of Easter, PORT HOPE INSPECTS FIRE EQUIPMENT NOW IN USE IN WHITBY (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, March: 26. -- Members of the Port Hope Light and Water Commission paid a visit to town yesterday and inspected the local fire fighting equipment including the big hose truck and pumper and the smaller chemical truck, With the memory of the big fire at Trinity College and subsequent loss of property still in their minds the town authorities are apparently planning to icrease the efficiency of their fire department by adding new and powerful equip- ment such as has been added here during the past year. AUTOS KILLED 7,19 Official figures from the United States Census Bureau tells us that in seventy-seven leading cities of this country automobiles, during the year ended February 25, killed 7,196 per- sons, as against 6,740 the year before. Somerville, Mass, was apparently the safest place for pedestrians with a death rate of only 9.9 per. 100,000 population, while Camden, N.J., was the most dangerous, with a rate of 52 5.2, While of the grand total of 7,190 New York had 1,074 deaths, its rate was only 18 per 100,000. February 5 last, speaking of deaths in this city, Frederick H. Elliott, di- rector of public safety for the New York Automobile Club, called at- tention to two things--(1) the in- crease in the number of automobiles and (2) that, while there were more deaths, there were fewer children among the fatalities.

A letter from Mr. Van Empel appears in this issue. NOTED PAINTER THANKS FRIENDS Jan Van Empel Expresses Pleasure at Reception Given Work in Oshawa The Oshawa Daily Times has received from Jan Van Empel, the distinguished landscape painter whose work was on exhibition here last week, the following delightful letter of appreciation 10r the re- ception given his paintings here and other courtesies. As mentioned in Mr. Van Empel's letter, he met Mr. and Mrs. W. H, Tait last year in the Canadian Rockies and it was as a result of that meeting that the exhibition of his paintings here was later arranged. Oshawa people who so much enjoyed the exhibit are grateful to Mr, Van kmpel and also to Mr. and Mrs, Tait for their part in the arrangements, Mr, Van wimpel's letter follows: March 26, 1928, Editor, she Oshawa Daily Dear Sir: Summer, 1927, 7,000 feet above sea level in the heart of the Cana- dian Rockies we met around my campfire. 'The next day my new friends and-1 had glorious adven- tures discovering glaciers, water- falls and mountains. We rowed 31 miles in a large leaky canoe, built by a blacksmith. Mrs, Dorothy Tait of Oshawa was captain, Willis Tait and the rest of us were galley slaves and divided our energies between rowing and bailing, We arrived Lack in camp, hungry, tired and happy. Two days later Mr, and Mrs. Tait mounted their horses, rode over Shovel Pass towards Jasper and home, I missed my friends for they had sympathy and understanding, but painting is my metier so on with the work. Mount Robson next, a Times. wet, | few months later amongst the coast Indians at Alert Bay, Since even painters must pay grocers I decided on an exhibition tour of my work, Vancouver, then Toronto. My [rtends invited me to Oshawa. "Our people would like to see your work," they said. "You can do a great deul of good especi- ally among the young people by passing on your enthusiasm for painting and our Canada." I came, I saw and was conquer- ed. Forever after I shall have a warm spot in my heart for Osh- awa, The enthusiastic reception, the large number of visitors that came to see the exhibition at the Luke Furniture Company would have warmed an Eskimo, Most of my best pictures are now in the homes of Oshawa people among friends whom I hope to visit again for friendship's sake, and also to see once more. that which is the best part of me--my work. Allow me through the columns of your paper to thank the people of Oshawa, the press and those dear friends who have made my stay possible, pleasant and profitable. It is our world. Spring is here. We must go to work again, Au Revoir, Oshawa, Your friend forever, JAN VAN EMPEL. VISIT TO EUROPE"S CAPITALS REPORTED PLAN OF LINDBERG Washington, March 25.--A rum- or is current here that Col. Charles Lindbergh will fly the Atlantic again in May. It is said that he will pick up a prominent United States automobile manufacturer and manufacturer of tires and take them for a flight to the principal Capitals of Europe. Stratford, March 25. -- A remark- able illustration of Milton's famous words, "Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war," was seen on Wednesday in the office of Dis- trict Agricultural Representative M. C. McPhail Hardly had he arrived at his ofiice in the morning than a husky young German immigrant, Wilhelm Rolth by mame, walked in seeking employ ment on a farm in this district. He had been working in Waterloo coun- ty 'for the past year. A few minutes later a . debonair voung Frenchman, H. Bardin, who had just arrived in this country from THE THREE MUSKETEERS ARE ALL INTERESTED IN HARD WORK NOW Paris, walked into the office on a similar mission. The three began them in somewhat broken English, vet readily understood, and before long the rather amazing coincidence was revealed that the German was a licutenant in the artillery during the war; the Frenchman served in the French army, and Mr, McPhail himself had served in the Canadian artillery. Some 12 years ago they were on- gaged in the greatest war the world has ever known. Today all three of them are engaged in developing to talk--two of HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR "LAST JUDGHENT" SUBJECT OF FINE SERMON AT SIMCOE Famous Painting Entitled "Last Judgment" Shown in Series of Slides Though it was a wet, unpleasant Sunday evening, there was a fine congregation in Simcoe street church to hear Dr. Dougall's sermon on "The Last Judgment." He introduc- ed the sermon with a series of fine slides of Rome, St. Peters, exterior and interior, the Pope with whom he was given audience, and the Sistine Chapel. The Chapel is in the Vati- can, that immense congeres of pal- aces which crown one of the seven hills of Rome. It is contiguous to St. Peters and is the home of the Pope. At one end of this Chapel, which is completely covered with sacred paintings by famous artists, is a painting by Michael Angelo covering the entire end. It is about 50 by 60 feet in arca. [It is perhaps the most gigantic single painting in the world, It took eight years of Angelo's life to produce it, and is called "The Last Judgment." Dr. Dougall said it was Angelo's effort to portray the Judgment scene as deseribed by St. Matthew in Chapter 25. It is a mixture of Chris- tian teaching and pagan mythology. For example--at the bottom is shown Charon of Greek mythology. He is an old man with matted heard who in a crazy boat is ferrying lost souls to the infernal regions at a farthing a head. The centre of the picture represents Christ at that point where he declaring, "Inasmuch you did 't unto me--Come ye blessed," or "depart ye cursed." These were the words Dr. Dougall used as his text. The speaker cmphasized the cen- tral truth that the Judge on the Great Day of Assize would be Jesus "the Man." "The Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son." It scems a sitbation almost staggering to our imagination as it is to our under- standing that the quiet, unpretentious Jesus going from village to village, a iriend to publican and sinner, breath- ing out kindness, sympathy and ai- fection, should be speaking about Himseli; that He Himseli would pre- side at the winding up of human ai- fairs; that He Himself in glory an majesty celestial would dispense eter- nal awards; that the gentle Jesus here would be the stern administra- tor there. Nor did Jesus think Him- self to be, that in the presence ci men, and while living on carth to bless men, He should declare Him- seli the Awarded of eternal life and death? Surely He thought Himself not simply the Son of Man, but also the Son oi God! And to whom could humans better or more willingly commit the final judgment of our affairs? To whom rather than to Jesus as we knew him here? To no one! The equity of the trial depends upon the character and the capacity of the Judge. An angel could not guarantee a just ver- dict, The Judge must understand. He must have a fcllow-iceling. What arrangement more beautiful and sat- isfactory than that that Love anc Justice meet in Jesus? That the Lord of Love is also the Lord of Law? It will not be difficult to under- stand what Jesus means and feels when He says "Ye did it unto me." That is what a mother said when they stood her boy against a stonc wall in France and shot him for drunkenness and desertion. That 1s what the father said when his boy was decorated by the hand of King George with the Victoria Cross. And that is what Jesus is now saying and fecling, "Ye did it unto me." "When ve sold those worthless bonds to that widow, vet did it: unto me. When you defamed or debauched that girl, ve did it unto me. When you be- friended that boy, ye did it unto me." There 1s no truth more awesome than that every human deed reaches out and up until it strikes upon the life of God, And we can sce again why Jesus the Son of God should sit Judge dispensing justice. He Himseli has ielt every kiss. He Himself has suffered every blow. He knows, and so it. is that "the Judge of all the world will do right." A duet "Rock of Ages," was suag by two « the gentlemen of the choir, and was illustrated on the screen almost line by line. It was announced that next Sunday evening --Psalm Sunday -- the choir would produce The Seven Last Words," a Sacred Contata by Dubois. It will require about onc hour to sing it in its entireity. is as Hon ol as as supre SAVES LIFE OF GIRL Hart, Mich, March - Seth Spitler, 18-year-old high school senior, was receiveg congratulations of classmates and friends for his res- cue of a 10-year-old girl who, with her brother, 12, broke through the ice on a river which runs near their home. The girl, Lucy Houghtaling, was flying a kite when she broke through a thin spot which recently had heen open water. Her brother, Wheeler, went to her rescue and was pulled into the water. 'Spitler jumped into the hole, which was about 10 feet in diameter, and succeeded in reaching the girl. He was obliged to hold her under water, a trick he learned in a life-saving class, 10 kecp her from struggling while he swam to the solid edge of the ice. Men attracted to the scene helped Spitler and the girl from the water. Wheeler, who was able to swim, kept afloat until dragged onto the shore.

Cochrane, 19, son of Mr. and Mrs, Fred Cochrane, Tooley's Mill, died about three hours after the aeci- dent on his way to the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital. Coroner Dr. F. J, Rundle, who was called to investi- gate the fatality, decided that death was purely accidental and that an inquest was not necessary. The accident occurred just before noon while the young man was excavating gravel. The lip of the bank, under which he was stand- ing, broke off without warning, and before he could reach safety the man was buried. There was no one else within the danger zoue at the time, but other workmen who were excavating in another part of the pit, rushed to the spot where Cochrane was almost com- pletely buried. It required several minutes to dig him out. As soon as he could be removed from the mass of earth and gravel, the injured man was taken to his home and Dr. R. B. E. Wilson was called. Upon examination it was found that Cochrane had spstained very severe internal injuries, as well as a fractured skull and chest, He was rushed to the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital. His internal injur- ies had proved fatal, however, and he died before reaching the insti- tution. Coroner F. J. Rundle, af- ter investigation, decided that death was clearly accidental, and that an inquest would not be held Gordon Frederick Cochrane, who was in his 19th year, was the eld- est son of Mr, and Mrs. Fred Coch- rane, Darlington township. He has lived in this vieinity with his par- ents since birth, and was well known in this community. Besides his parents, he is survived by two brothers, Ivan and Allan, and by one sister, Bernice, all at home, He attended King Street United Church in this city. The funeral was held this after- noon at 2.30 o'clock from the resi- dence of his aunt, Mrs, Isaac Sis- sons, 128 Albert street, The large attendance and many floral trib- utes showed® the esteem in which the young man was held in this vicinity. Interment was made in Union Cemetery. -- SEEKS TO HALT AMERICAN VISAS FOR COMMUTERS Kellogg Must Show Cause Why Boundary Order Should Continue Washington, Mar. 24.--Mrs. Rachel Titchener of Niagara Falls, Ontario, Wednesday filed a petition in the supreme court of the District of Coj- umbia asking the court to direct Sec- retary Kellogg to show cause "im- mediately" why a mandamus shall not issue to compel him to revoke his order wherein he directs consuls in contiguous territory to grant visas to "commuters" entering the United States with no intention of remain- ing as immigrants. Within the past ninety days similar suits have been filed in the supreme court of the district, but the Titchener case is unique in that the petitioner was formerly a citizen of the United States who desires to be restored to citizenship, Mrs. Titchener becaméa British subject upon her marriage, prior to the passage of the Cable Act of September, 1922. That act, passed at the instance of a large budy of American women, provided that the marriage of an American woman to an alien should not de- prive her of her rights of citizen- ship, so that had Mrs. Titchener de- ferred her marriage until after the passage of the Cable Act she would have remained an American citizen in spite of the allegiance of her hus- band. . Having lost her citizenship and be- ing desirous of re-entering this country with the purpose of regaining the rights which she lost by her marriage, the petitioner sets forth that through the general order 36, of the department of Labor, which is based on the Immigration Act of 1924, which, in turn, is the basis of the state department's latest ukase in the matter of visas, she cannot hope for a preference under the quota of British immigrants for a long period of time. Hence her ap- peal to the court to restrain the sec- retary of state from continuing the practice of granting visas to those who have within the past few months been required to obtain such documents. Her contention is that the action of the secretary deprives real immigrants of rights which are due them and that the so-called com- muters who reside in Canada or in Mexico and find employment on the American side of the horder have Lucy and Wheeler are children of agriculture in Canada, Mrs. Vesta Near, Victim of Accident Is Almost Completely Buried in Excavation Gordon Cochrane, Tooley's FIDELISSIMO CLASS i HOLD SOCIAL EVENT The Fidelissimo class of the King Street United Church, of which Miss A. Jackson is the teacher, spent a pleasant evening at the home of Mrs. Kenneth Clarke, Ages street on Thursday evening. There were about thirty members of the class present and final arrangements were made for the copper contest. One side is to collect the coppers dated 1918 and the other side will collect the ones dated 1928, the losing side to provide the supper and enters tainment at the end of the contest, The remaider of the evening was spent in games and music. A dainty luncheon was served by the committee appointed, then a hearty vote of thanks was given to Mrs. Clarke for the use of hes home.
