The fighting lasted for hours. Today a change takes place in the editorship of The Times, when M,! McIntyre Hood takes over the reins of office from Arthur R. Alloway, who has for some years filled the dual position of editor and business manager of the paper, Mr. Alloway will continue to act in the latter capacity and will also assist Mr. ! Mundy in the general management of the businegs. Mr, Hood comes to Oshawa from Woodstock, where he has been on the staff of the Sentinel-Review since 1920, succeeding the late John Mar- key, as editor of the paper in June, 1927, ! In addition to his newspaper duties Mr. Hood has taken an active part | in various phases of the life of the, community and his departure from Woodstock has been generally re- gretted, The following article from the Sentinel-Review of last Friday , will give readers of The Times some | idea of Mr, Hood's career and nis | numerous outside interests: "Mr, Hood came to Woodstock to join the staff of The Sentinel-Review ! in the summer of 1920, coming here' from Chicago, where he was associa-* ted with a newspaper feature syndi-' cate, his first duties here being those of reporter and telegraph editor. Since then he has occupied several positions on the staff of the news- paper. For about a year he was sports editor, and on October 1, 1922, on the departure of R. A. Hutchison for the Pacific Coast, he was appoint- ed city editor, In February, 1926, he became news editor, taking over the handling of the telegraph and cable news as well as the city news. His work in this capacity was recog- nized by the newspaper management when, on the death of Mr. Markey, he was promoted to the editorship eighteen months ago. "Mr, Hood was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, in Pecember, 1893, and came to Canada eighteen years la- ter, settling in Toronto, "There he lived until the spring of 1915, when he enlisted for service in the world" war, and went overseas with the THREE THOUSAND ARRESTED IN CHICAGO RAIDS (By Canadian Press) Chicago, Jan. 21.--Three thous- and persons were arrested between Saturday nightfall and dawn to- day in one of the most sudden, widespread and successful police drives in the history of this city.

Modern Innovations Cause End of Kingston, Jan. 21.--Two of Kingston's historic buildings that date back to 1775 and 1792 will be torn down shortly to make way for gasoline stations. One fs the two-storey stone building situated cn the corner of Ontario and Queen streets, bearing on its front wall «4 stone with the date of the building's erection, 1792, The other landmark fis of still more historic importance, the low frame building at Ontario and Princess streets.

On his return from overseas, while in hospital, he did a considerable amount of newspaper writing, and on returning to civilian life in October, 1918, he joined the staff of the King- ston Whig in October, '1918, first as reporter and later as assistant edi- tor. At the beginning of 1920 he went to Chicago to take up feature syndicate work, but on his health breaking down, he came back to Canada to join the staff of The Sen- tinel-Review.

At the same time there was con- sierabie worry over the condition of another man besides the King --the new Archbishop of Canter- bury, then confined to his bed, if King George had died during those days it wou.d have been impossible for the Archbishop to have seen him before the end--an obliga- tion, for the King is 'Defender of the Faith" and head of the An- glican Church. Unpleasant details are being forgotten now as plans are going ahead for the King's movement, As soon as he fis strong enough to leave the palace, he may go to Windsor Castle where the air is better than the foggy, soot-laden atmosphere of London, The King apartments there face the south and, with the arrival of warmer wea. her, may afford splendid sun- baths, The nearness to the town of Windsor would ensure journeys that would not be too tiresome for the King. The royal yacht Britannia, ft is understood, will soon be put into commission for the King's use if he decides to spend the period of convalescence on the Riviera. The last time the Britannia was used to any extent was several years ago when the King and Queen took a Mediterranean trip after the King had been laid up with a bad cold. The Britannia is a bad sea boat, however, and the Queen on that occasion found herself such a poor sailor that she vowed she would pever set foot aboard her again.

Aroused by Smoke The blaze was first discovered by Frederick Duffield, who resides on the third storey directly above the store room, Duffield was arous- ed by smoke and suspecting thai it was coming from immediately below his room, he made his way downstairs and awoke his brother, Robert Duffield. The two men se- cured fire extinguishers and broke which had been locked. They emptied the contents of their ox- tinguishers and then turned in an alarm for the fire brigade and also attempted to awaken the other \people in the building. It is thought that the fire orig- ! inated from matches in the pocket of a coat which had been hanging onthe frame partition of the room, as the coat pocket was found to have been chéwed by mice. The room is used for no other purpose than storing goods, and is always locked at night. Thirty persons reside on the see- ond flat of the Chambers, wnne there are three large apartments and several rooms in the third flat. The ground floor of the building is occupied by stores and offices.

Burton said today, ad- dressing the local Board of Trade, in his opinion it is an error in the policy of Canada to offer financial assistance to those available for settlement, Canada should refrain from subsidies in any form, he said, Discussing the St, Lawrence wat. erway project, Mr, Burton declare ed it was desirable that the prop- osition should be entirely removed from the realm of party politics. He urged it as good business for Ontario to secure such power as might be developed from sources within the Province of Quebee, if available at such prices as would permit its use in Ontario ror in- dustrial and public service require- ments. This would provide for Ontario's earlier power require- ments in excess of that obtainable in older Ontario, which, he said, would be consumed in a compara tively short time. In regard to the development of northern and north-western On- tario, Mr, Burton said, the Ontario government had made an extraor- dinary record for itself in varous enterprises. "The Government needs a vig- orous and insistent public opinion from various parts of the Province to enable it to make necessary pro- gress in these new unorganized sec» tions. One could not visit those northern districts without feeling prouder than ever of their vast res sources." | CHICAGO GRAIN Chicago, Jan, 21.--Unexpected ups turns in Liverpool wheat quotations helped to make the Chicago wheat market average higher early today, The Liverpool advance was aséribed to scarcity of sellers and to impros= ved general demand.
