So recent is their marriage that they had only returned from their honeymoon a few days arc but Mrs. Weedmark will bear re- minders of the occasion for some time to come as the result of her husband's change in attitude When she appeared in court this morning, Mrs. Weedmark dicplay- ed a nasty looking black eve, a badly bruised mouth and marks on her shoulder, proving that her hus- band apparently went to the ex- treme. Mr. Weedmark pleaded guilty to his offence and when asked by His Worship if he had anything to say, replied that he had not. He was remanded in custody for sentence until Friday, July 27. For being intoxicated in a pub- le "place, Seymour Lloyd pleaded guilty when he appeared before Magistrate Hind in police court this morning, This was his iirst offence and he was accordingly fined $20 and costs or 30 days in the County jail with a reminder that the second offence would cost him $200 and costs, ARTHUR McCULLOCH DIED IN THE WEST After being corfined to his home for about three weeks, the death occurred in Watrous, Saskatchewan of Arthur James McCulloch, 1In- spector of Public Schools and well known by many of the older resi- dents of Oshawa and surrounding district. The immediate cause of his death was heart failure, The late Mr. McCulloch was born in Enfield ¢ 1875 and lert these parts to go west ahout 1905 where he has been practically ever since although the memory of him remains dear in the minds of those who knew him in this district, He leaves a wife and six children to mourn his loss as well as a brother John here in Ontario and three sisters, Mrs, Stewart Storie nf N="- awa, Mrs. Simmonds of Toronto and Mrs. Nichols of Indian Heal, Saskatchewan. The funeral was an impressive ceremony being held on July 4 from Watrous United Church with a large assemblage of friends and relatives attending, The Masoaie Order of which the deceased wis a member, attended in a body while the floral tributes were lavished about the coffin. Among those present from a distance were Mrs, and Miss Baird of Toronto, sistere- in-law of the deceased. WOMEN'S INSTITUTE ACTS AS CATERERS AT LUNCHEON (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, July 21 -- The local branch of the Women's Institute acted as caterers at the hoard of trade luncheon, yesterday noon. A really splendid meal was provided and many favorable comments were heard both from the speakers and others. Local Banks Concerned in Recent Merger, Not Immediately Affected L Contrary to Impression, Can. Contrary to an impression that seems to have been received by some readers of the amalgamation of the Canadian Bank of Com- merce and the Standard Bank of Canada, which is now pending, does not indicate any car- ly discontinuance of either of the local branches of these Banks. The branch of the Canadian Ba k of Commerce in Oshawa under W. D. Elliott will carry on as ue- ua, and the branch of the S'an- dard Bank of Canada under the management of E, C. Hodgins will also ocntinue without {interrup- tion. It will likely be some consider- able time béfore any change occurs in the local situation as there are many details to work out in con- necton with the amalgamation of two large banking institutions, It may be a year or more before anv change is made locally and in the meantime patrons of both banks can be assured of the same cour- teous treatment and efficient ser- vice to which they have been ac- customed. MERGER ATTITUDE FROM OTTAWA IS NON-GOMMITTAL Objections to Bank Amalga- mation Received By Government Ottawa, July 20--Although protests are being received against the ab- sorption of the Standard Bank of Canada by the Canadian Bank of Commerce, the Government seems disposed to let the matter simmer. Consequently no statement may be anticipated for the present at all events, as to why the merger was, permitted. In the absence of Hon. James Robb, there does not appear to be any Acting Minister of Fin- ance, although the Prime Minister Is available in case of questions arising which are not of a routine nature. None of the permanent officials can properly discuss the bank merger for publication, and the result is that the protests which are finding their way to Ottawa are sim- ply being acknowledged in the usual way and filed, So far as the Government is con- cerned, the reasons for consenting to, the merger are the same as the rea- sons given by the two contracting parties, namely, that the consolida- tion will make for greater efficiency, a reduction of overhead costs and improved facilities to the customers of the banks. Say Credit Facilities Curtailed What the people of Western Can- ada particularly argue is that as the number of Canadian banks diminish- es the facilities for credit likewise are curtailed. It is also feared that the banking credit of the Dominion eventually will be controlled by four or five men. Among the protests against the amalgamation is at least one from an organized hody in the Prime Minister's own constituency of Prince Albert, and it is conceivable that Mr. King may be asked some questions when he goes to Western Canada next month to deliver a ser- ies of speeches. Your correspondent endeavored to- day to learn what are the prospects of a government explanation being issued showing why the merger is desirable from the public's point of view, and also what are the pros- peets of the merger being stopped It is a foregone conclusion that the bargain will be approved by the shareholders of the Standard Bank who stand to reap a substantial premium; their stock is now worth about $30 a share more than it would have been worth without the merger. It will also be endorsed by the stock- holders of the Bank of Commerce, whose institution will increase in prestige, in power and in the volume of business transacted, Banns Must Be Published | Thus, the merger is altogether like- ly to be ratified by the people who are financially interested as share- holders and will be ratified finally also by the Government unless the protests become too strong. Before final approval can be secured from the Treasury Board, however, there is a certain procedure to be followed, The banks must advertise their in- tentions in the press. In other words, they must publish the banns of marriage, and if anyone can show cause why they 'should not be united the Treasury Board, theoretically, must consider any reasons'advanced against the merger. The Treasury Board is composed of Messrs. Robb, Dunning, Euler, Stewart, Lapointe and Dr. King. . In the meantime one can say fair- ly certainly that no statement or ex- planation to the public is presently contemplated by the Government, and in point of fact it would be a difficult matter to obtain such a statement in Ottawa mow, for the simple reason that the members of the Government are scattered to the four corners of the Dominion and at least threc or four of them are sum- Rochester Girls Lose to Lakesides .

She was married three times, She was personally acquainted with many of the great personages of the Victorian era, including Dis- raeli, Gladstone and Tennyson. Autograph hunters pursued her everywhere and she finally capital- ized the situation for the sake of charity by charging a shilling for each autograph and turning the money into maintenance of a cot in a children's hospital. Queen Victoria witnessed Miss Terry's stage debut at the age of eight and thought so much of her histronic ability that years later she "commanded" her presence at Sandringham Palace where she performed for the Queen and the future King Edward VII. King George V created Miss Ter- ry a Dame Grand Cross of the Bri- tish Empire in 1925, St. Andrew's University honored her with the degree of Doctor of Laws. Miss Terry's outstanding roles were those of Portia and Ophelia although she made remarkable portrayals of Juliet, Beatrice, Des- demona, Margaret, Lady MacBeth, Rosamund, Guinevere, Imogen, Ol- iva and Madam Sans-Gene. Her great triumph came in 1875 as Portia under the management of the Bancrofts and her fame was firmly founded three. years later when she played Ophelia to th2 Hamlet of Sir Henry Irving. Her last stage appearance was in the aid of charity when on January 19, 1923, she spoke the prologue to "The York Nativity Play" at the League of Arts Guildhouke, Lon- don. After that she virtually re- tired to her home at Burleigh Mansiops, London, where she spent the declining years of her life sur- rounded by her friends and loved ones and basking in the glory of her dramatic honors. Miss Terry was born February 27, 1848, at Coventry in Warwick- shire, almost in the heart of the Shakespeare country she was des- tined to represent so well. Her parents were Benjamin Ter- ry and Sarah Ballard (Terry), provincial players of prominence. Her father. an associate of Charles Kean and William Macready, gave Ellen her elemental training in the technic of the stage. Reviewing her life on the stage sometime before her death, Miss Terry said that it seemed "in some way to have passed as a dream. Is it not too bad that we must leave life when we are mering beyond the seas. best fitted to enjoy it? If I had JAPAN AGCEFTS HELLOG TREATY AS PRESENTED Sends Congratulations to Secretary Kellogg--Reply of Czechoslovakia Missing Washington, July 20.--Japan's acceptance of the Kellogg anti-war treaty as revised, coupled with warm congratulations from the Tokyo Government "upon the rap- id and genera] acceptance" of the proposal, was received and made public tonight by the State Depart- ment. Only the reply of Czecho- slovakia is now lacking to round out the plan for a 15-power gen- eral peace treaty open to world- wide adherence. "The Imperial Government are proud to be among the first to be associated with a movement so plainly in unison with the hopes everywhere entertained, and confi- dently concur with the high prob- ability of the acceptance of this simple and magnanimous treaty by the whole civilized world," Baron Tanaka, Japanese Minister of For- eign Affairs, said in his note of acceptance. No reservations or additional ex- positions of Japan's understanding of the terms of the revised Ameri- can treaty are contained in the note. It confined itself to the us- ual re-statement of the query pro- pounded to the Japanese Govern- ment by Secretary Kellogg, as to its willingness to become an orig- inal signatory to a treaty.such as the revised draft transmitted with the American note, CONSERVATIVES AT COAST 33 STRONG Liberals Have 12 and Labor One Seat in British Columbia Vancouver, July 20. -- Thirty- three Conservatives, 12 Liberan and 1 Labor candidate were elect- ed in Wednesday's elections in Bri- tish Columbia, according to a re- turn available tonight. Two seats, Lilooet and Kamloops, are stili in doubt, with E. C. Carson, Conser- vative, leading in the former, and the two candidates running neck and neck in Kamloops. Atlin, a Northern British Col- umbia seat, changed from the Conservative to the Liberal column today. With two small polls to hear from H. F. Dergin, Liberal, was leading F. W. Falconer, Con- servative, by 27 votes ,and his election was conceded. Dr. H. C. Wrinch in Skeena, and Hon. T. D. Pattullo, Minister of Lands, in Prince Rupert, were other addi- tions today to Liberal successes. Election of F. P. Burden in Fort George and of Michael Car- son in Mackenzie added to the Conservative strength. ' Political gossip in Victoria to- day centred around the possible members of the new cabinet and whether or not Premier McLean, not without a seat, would contin- ue to lead the Liberal party. The suggestion was made in some cir- cles that Dr. MacLean might be given an acclamation if one of the new Liberal members resigned, with the provision that the new Cabinet members should be given no opposition by the Liberal party in the by-elections resulting from their appointment.

A recent newspaper report stating that Camp Borden would shortly he moved to Montreal need cause no dismay to Whithy and Oshawa, according to F, H, Annes of this town in an interview with The Times yesterday. Mr. Annes is conversant with matters relating to the proposed removal of Camp Borden from its present site to some other location and has heen large- ly instrumental in urging the town council t6 bring the Dominion Government's attention to the fine site for an aviation training centre found on the lakeshore be- tween here and Oshawa, So many municipalities includ- ing many large cities in this and other provinces have hecome in- terested in the Government's in- tention, he claig:s, that the ques- tion will only he settled when Parliament is in session. There- fore, no such decision would he arrived at by the Department of Defence especialy at a time when the Minister himself was not in Ottawa. He further points out promin- ent Liberals have assured him that they are opposed to Camp Borden being taken out of On- tario. Dealing with Ottawa's claims Mr. Annes' contended that the capital would not be serious- ly considered hecause it was al- ready benefitting from the ex- pense of public money and sec- ondly did not possess a logical site for the purpose. Aviator Gets Sweet Revenge on Truckers Newark, N. J., July 20.--A fued between an aviator and a gang of truck drivers today reached its cli- max with the arrest of Kenneth S. Collins, the flier, who had cavort- ed with his plane above the truck- men working on the construction of a State highway. Collins said that the drivers ran their trucks near his plane while he was taking off, and at times beaded for him while he was walk- ing in the street. Becoming incensed at one of the drivers today, when he drove his truck within a few feet of him, Collins said,' he jumped into his plane and flew over the truck, tearing off the top of the cab by striking it with the undercarriage of the plane. A number of other drivers, who are antagonistic to him, the flier declared, took refuge under their trucks. Collins was apprehended by de- tective in a restaurant after a com- plaint had been made by Frank Crouse of Union, driver of the damaged vehicle. devised creation I would have had everybody born old and year by year grow younger, finally to pass away ju junocent infancy."

Aroused by the announcement that there are 100 lepers walking the streets )f the capital, medical men, after an investigation, place the number nearer 200. "Leprosy ordinarily is not con- tagious; certainly it is less than elme.. "At the same time certain are apt to be contaminated, as is are apt to bh contaminated, as is proved by the fa~t that seven na- tive Frenchmen were afflictzd through contact with victims this year."

W. McLaughlin Receives Word That Oshawa Will Be Honored By Distin. guished Visitor on Friday, August 31 -- Banquet to Be Held at General Motors Auditorium Premier James G. Gardiner, of Saskatchewan, will visit this city on Friday, Augr : 31, and address the delegates of the Associated Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce of the Province of Que- bec, in the mew General ~"otors' auditorium, Mary Street. A tele- gram to this effect was received yesterday afternoon by G. W. Me- Laughlin, president of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce. . The local Chamber of Com- merce, largely through the efforts of Mr. McLaughlin and the secre- «ary, Leon Frazer, has been instru- mental in having the delegates of the Quebec Chambers of Com- merce visit Oshawa on their re- turn journey from the Canadian National Exhibition, which they will visit on August 29 and 30. Through the Montreal 'Chambre de Commerce', all of the trade boards and commerce chambers in that province were invited to send delegates on this friendly inter- provincial visit, and Oshawa is the only city of Ontario, other than Toronto, that the delegates will honor with an extensive stay, General Motors of Canada, Limited, has heen keenly interest- ed in the visit of the Quebec dele- gation, and have offered the use of the new auditorium, situated on the second floor of the old head office building. The visitors will be entertained on a tour through the local plants of the company, and will he entertained at dinner in the hall in the evening, Other en- tertainment for the Quehec men is being arranged by the Chamber of Commerce, It was with considerable diffi- culty that Premier Gardiner was induced to grant his acceptance of the invitation of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce to come east and address the gathering, He at first stated that he regretted that he was unable to visit Ontario at the end of August, hut after neg- otiation he finally decided 'o ac- cept the invitation. The two tele- grams quoted below were the final messages, the first one, from Premier Gardiner, reversing his decision as given in a previous let- ter. It is understood that Premier Gardiner received invtations to come east at this time from the officials of the Canadian National Exhibition, from the Montreal Chambre de Commerce, and from General Motors of Canada, Limit- ed. The telegrams were: "G., W. McLaughlin, President Oshawa Chamber Commerce. Further my wire yesterday. Pre- mier advises it now appears likely that he will be in east August 31, in which case he will be pleased to address the meeting in Oshawa, A. M. Burton, Secretary to Premier Gardiner'. In reply, Mr. McLaughlin wired: "A. M. Burton, Secretary to Premier of Sask- atchewan, Regina, Greatly delighted with your message. Sincerely trust nothing will arise to prevent the premier being with us. G, W. McLaughlin, President Oshawa Chamber of Commerce." of FAVORABLE LAKE AREA 1S REPORTED Toronto, July 21.--The first of- ficial report. on the prospecting and mining situation in the Favor- able Lake area, at the extreme northwest corner of the Province, was received yeserday by Thomas W. Gibson, Deputy Mipister of Mines, from M. E. Hurst, who heads the geological party which the department sent into the dis- trict this summer. Mr. Hurst's report, dated July 11, came out from Favorable Lake by aeroplane to Sioux Lookout. While merely of a preliminary na- ture, it strikes a.rather optimistic note in that it forecasts extensive diamond drilling on the Connell option, near which various min- erals have been* found to date, and records a new find of gaiena some eighteen miles from this par- ticular property. Most of the drilling equipment, Mr. Hurst reports, is already on the Connell property. It has been toted in By Indian packers from the aeroplane landing place on Sitting Net Lake -- by canoe up Sitting Net Creek, and over two portages, twelve chains in length; then by trail, half a mile long, to the work- ings. Actual drilling will com- mence, he believes, in two weeks. This he states, will likely prove whether or not the mineralization which is exposed at wide intervals is continuous. Gold, silver, lead and zinc have been found in the Favorable Lake area. Other parties prospecting in the vicnity of the Connell option are A. Cochrane, B. G. Oliver and Leo Springer. » HOLD MEETING OF COMMITTEE FOR THE G. M.

DUG OUT UNHURT 7° AFTER BEING BURIED AVALANCHE OF CLAY St. Thomas, July 20.--Buried under an avalanche of clay and a huge boulder, Harry Ryan of Lon- don, Ont,, aged 10, escaped wich no other injuries than a bruised left hip today, The boy was playing, with others, on the beach at Port Stan- ley, Working loose from its bed at the top of a cliff, a great rock, 25 feet in circumference, plunged downward toward the group of children. Its thundering leaps loosened huge masses of clay, which slithered out over the beach, piling up and over the defenceless child, who was caught and completely buried before he could do more than cry out. The other boys, escaping, made frantic efforts to rescue their little chum and to get assistance, It was half an hour before help came, and the workers, digging in great haste, had few hopes of recovering more than a lifeless, crushed corpse, When they finally cleared away the mount of earth, an hour after the slide, they found Harry, bruised and frightened, but unhurt. He will be fully recovered in a day or two, EE -------------- - ' Receives Congratulations : Miss Lois Stacey has recently heen successful in passing the In- termediate History Examinations with first class honours, This completes all requirements both practical and theoretical to entitle her to be known as an associate of the Toronto Conservatory - of Music with the degree of A T.C.M.
