WHI Representative--JAMES HOLDEN Phone, House 15--Office 434 Mail Plane Land at Wh Forced to itby to Take / on Additional Fuel : 4 Flyers Wander Miles Out of Their Course Between To- ronto and Montreal in the Dense Fog --Forced to Spend Night Near Col. 'borne (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Oct. 5.--Decceived by the dense fog which obscured the usual land marks, a large Fairchild mono- plane, carrying mail between Mont real and Toronto, was forced to make a landing in a field near the Ontario Hospital, north of the base line, between 11 and 12 o'clock, yes- terday morning. The plane had tra- velled many miles out of its course and it was found necessary to make the landing for the purpose of re- fueling. One hour later it again took off for Toronto, According - to its two occupants, a pilot and mechanic, the plane had left on its regular trip from Montreal last Wednesday. On account of the fog, however, flying was difficult and it was necessary to spend the night near Colborne. The giant Fairchild took to the air again early yesterday morning but according to the flyers, they could see nothing after gaining a safe altitude. They suspected that they went miles off their course and later in the morning after the fog had partially cleared they were pleased to find themselves near Whitby and en the right air route to Toronto, Se- lecting a good landing place they came down for the purpose of re- filling the fuselage. The landing of the mail plane at- tracted the attention of a number of local citizens who motored out to the spot, a crowd quickly collecting.

Through his counsel, Frank Regan, K.C, bp Bib Foley plead- ed guilty to a second charge of ob- structing a police officer in the course of his duties and was fined $50 and costs. Magistrate Willis had reserved his decision from Friday, September 21, when the hearing on the former charge took place. No Storage Place He announced that in his mind there was no oubt that the liquor, as analyzed and exhibited to the court, had been found in Foley's gar- den. But the quantity was so small that it would not warrant the belief that the accused had used his garden as 4 place of storage. There was the possibility that it might have been placed there by some other per- son and an innocent man might easily suffer if one could be convicted be- cause a bottle of liquor was found in the garden or on the lawn. Benefit of Doubt His Worship stated that he had no right to take into account the fact that the defendant had been previ- ously convicted of a breach of the L.C.A. The defendant, he claimed, had done all that could be expected of him in denying the ownership of the liquor and knowledge of its pre- sence. In the absence of any other proof, His Worship had serious doubt as to the defendant's guilt and there- fore as the court was entitled to give him the benefit of the doubt he would acquit him on the charge, Serious Offense In passing sentence on the second charge, Magistrate Willis mentioned that it was a serious offense and could be punishable by two years imprisonment. WHITBY STREET EQUIPMENT MAY BRING REVENUE County Willing to Pay for Use of Tractor and Grader (By Staff Reporter) Whithy, Oct. 5.--The town may se- cure revenucs from its street repair equipment, including the new tractor and large grader, Councillor F, Threadgold, chairman of the strects committee, learned recently in com- munication with county officials, It is stated that the county would be willing to pay a good rental for this machinery for use in road work this fall. Co-operation . The program of local streets im- provements for the ycar has been practically completed and the council must either let the town's expensive machinery lie idle in the town hall shed or rent it out to the county. The latter would appear as the more favorable solution, as the county would be a responsible renter, and has always been willing to grant machinery to the town on a similar basis as instanced by the gravel crusher which was used at the local beach this summer, J WILL OPEN TRADE OFFICE IN PERU Canada's [1 outh African Commissioner Now in Dominion Ottawa, Oct, 5.--C. R. Stevens, Canadian trade commissioner in 8, Africa, has arrived in Canada en route to Peru where he will open a new office with jurisdiction over Peru, Bolivia and Ecquador. Prior to his departure for South Ameri- ca, Mr. Stevens wil visit manufac- turing centres of Canada in connec- tion with Canadian exports to his former territory. Mi. Stevens con- siders the progress of Canadian trade in South Africa satisfactory although the abolition of the Bri- tish preference reacted adversely upon it to the extent that auto- mobile manufacturers in Canada are now shipping only one-fifth of the volume that was sold to South Africa before the abrogation of the preference. In sum, however, Can- adians are selling more to the South Africans than ever before. Mr. Stevens said that the main springs of South African capital were British, the United Kingdom furnishing approximately one half the Union's requirements, Touching on the political side of the Union, Mr. Stevens declared that racial hostility was decreasing through the settlement of the flag controversy, and except for a few extremists the flag pact was being loyally observed. A great danger to the unity of the country has fhus been averted. The diamond industry presents 2a problem, for which the discovery of vast sources of alluvial diamonds the danger of glutting the market and thus depriving South Africa of 2 large proportion of her revenue through cheapening of the prec- lous stones is very real. Every ef- fort. is being made, however, to av- ert "free selling." Montclare Duchess of Athall Montcalm Duchess of Bedford +. Melita Montcalm Monnedosa « Minnedosa Melita Montroyal .

According to remarks dropped by specia lpolice who have been warm upon his trail more than once during the past few weeks, Bad Bill has a way all his own, Gossip has it that he wavers to ex- tremes in the company he keeps, At times he travels alone, relying upon a disguise which so far has been effective; then again he brings out the big limousine and flashes through the dark nights with some of his wild associates in his train and with a machine-gun in the back compartment. On those oceasions, according to "tips" which have reached the special po- lice, Bad Bill casts his disguise aside and comes out as holdly as the black nights will permit. Running Short of Funds There seems to be a growing conviction in this part of the world the Police Chief gnashed his teeth when he was told the idemtity of his motoring guest. There are enough rewards offered for Bad Bill's head to have set up the Po- lice Chief for life; and the special policemen who told the story said it was almost worth the trip to sce the Chief's face. The Chief could not even recall the car's wNcemse number, It is believed that Bad Bill is hopping about frome city to city, with Detroit's underworld as his headquarters. There ate dives in Detroit which even the secret po- lice. canmot visit without being guaranteed by the regular patrons. it is known, almost definitely, that Bovin visits some of those places irregularly. If Bill is ever found in one of those hives, there is go- ing to be some blood let, good or bad. A description of one will ex- plain the certainty of blood-letting. Check Guns at Gate "We visited one the other night," one of the specials stated, "We were tipped off by one of Bill's enemies that he would be there, and we were sponsored as being sufficiently bad to be admitted. The doorman had been tipped off, so he let us through without taking our guns; but nobody else, unless it is some person like Bill Bovin, can get through those doors without are so bad that*they kedp a look- out man in a tower, armed, ready to quell riots." That is the sort of place Bad Bill Bovin haunts. Special Cana- dian National Railway police are on his trail, as well as the repre- sentatives of various city police. For the moment, the chase has Sentra around Windsor and De- rait.

At any rate, there has been sufficient smoke of late to make folks think Bad Dill is trying to kindle another financial fire. Three days agn he was "sen" in Lon- don, though that may have heen hysteria. Coincident w%¥h that is the fact that John Gibbs, the Los Anzeles train bandit, talked to the Windsor police in a brazen manner ahout the $100,000 which he claim- mail coaches just a short time be- fore his fatal coup on night. The postal officials refuse to admit that it was $100,000; but it is generally recognized that a big money shipment went through London just hefore Gibbs went in- to action. . The California youth was at least a day out; and now it is believed that Bad Bill was in London looking for that haul. Within a period of two weeks, Bad Bill's train has ranged from London to northern Michigan, Bill took a flying motor trip into the north of Michizan to visit people said to be his relatives, and though he may know it, that was one of the closest ealls he ever had. It is a certainty that Bad Bill has more than friends in the De- troit underworld. Tips have been re- ceived hy the special police who are on Bovin's trail and some of them have proved remarkably ac- curate, One of those "tips" concerned Bill's call upon Lis relatives, The police got word from the under- world that Bovin was heading for the north of Michigan, but for what nurpose the information did not state, He was not using his big machine-gun limousine on that oe- casion, hut he was journeying mod- estly in a smaller car, Two spec- fal police took to the automobile trail, armed to the teeth, with no- thing to go upon except a deserip- tion of Bovin's car--without the li- cense number--and a fair idea of the direction Bill was going. Parked Car in Chief's Garage There must be traitors in Bad Bill's clan, for information reached the police maming the town where Bovin would stop. It was a few hours too late, When the specials reached the town in question, they learned that the *tip'"' had been a good one and they also caught a further flash of Bad Bill's daring, Bovin spent one night with his relatives, then he moved on. But on that one night he parked bis car in the town Police Chief's gar- age. The pursuing police found the relatives, and they admitted Felt Bros. 7 he LEADING JEWELERS Estab'ished 1886 12 Simcoe St. South ed went from London on one of the | Tuesday | Why not try a Tailor one that is made to fit than yourself. chase a Tailor Overcoat from Woolen Mills Co, Tailored To Your Satisfaction Made Suit, none other Our Suits are tailored to your satisfaction and to this fact that we attribute the many orders from our old customers.
