Harold had a stick in his hand and dropped it over the fence. He attempted to retrieve it and while doing so he lost his ' footing, tumbling eight feet into the water. His body was not recovered until an hour later, a boat and grap- pling hooks being used. According to the story told by the lad's playmate both were on their : way home from the Brock street public school when the incident oc- 'curred. Robert became alarmed when he saw his friend tumble into the water and as his head came to the surface for the first time he ran for help, and succeeded in attracting the attention of S. St. Pierre and two other employes of the Public Utility Commission who were working . in the close vicinity. The linemen rush- ed to the scene of the tragedy but by this time no sign could be seen of the drowning boy. Ordinarily the water is but three feet deep at this ' 'point but yesterday the creek was swollen by the recent heavy rains and formed a pool to the depth of ten feet. i ing Irons Unavailing A phone message had been sent to the police and Chief H. Gunson ac- companied by Mr. Fred Lowe and A. M, Ross arrived at the Creek a minute later, Desperate efforts were made to effect a rescue but the child's body could not be found, the rescu- ers having only the assistance of his little playmate to guide them. A hoat and grappling hooks were then re- 'cured from the harbor and Chief Gunson, Wm. Watson and F. Rowe grappled for the body. ~ This met with no result and fear- ing that the body might be carried downstream a message was sent for the diver working at Harmony bridge east of Oshawa. The diver was brought to Whitby by Provincial Constable T. Mitchell and Highway FOR SHELTER IN THE ONTARIO HOSPITAL Charles Arnold Claims to Have Two Sons Located in This District Whitby, April 10.--Suffering from loss of memory, Charles Arn- old, no address, but formerly ot Whitby, was committed to the On- tario Hospital here by Magistrate J. Willis, yesterday afternoon upon medical certificates by Dr. C. F. McGillivray and Dr. Jas. Moore, Brooklin. Arnold, who is sixty- nine years old, had asked that he might be given shelter in the hos- pital. . While unable to recollect thé events of the past few years, Arn- old was able to recall incidents which happened while he resided in town as a boy, and also recog- nized persons whom he had known years ago. He was a harness mak- er by trade and at one'time con- ducted a harness repair shop at Brooklin, Three weeks ago he wandered into the Oshawa police station and asked to be given help in locating two sons, whom he claimed reside somewhere in the district. Police are anxious that anyone knowing any particulars about the man's family or relatives should communicate at once with them, A little gif] had been behaving her- self very badly, and her nurse got more and more heated and angry. Suddenly the child had an inspira- tion. "Oh!" she cried, "now I know what a Red. Cross nurse is." 675 YARDS of Spring Wash Fabrics Including PRINTS PRINTED FULLARDS PRINTED BROADCLOTHS PLAIN COLOR BROADCLOTHS AND ETC.

BROWNING ELECT- ED PRESIDENT OF WHITBY CLUB Annual Meeting of Club De- cides on Increase in Membership Fees (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 10.--A. G, Brown- ing, K.C., was elected honorary president of the tennis division of the Whitby Lawn Bowling ana Tennis Club at a meeting held in the council chambers last mgut. Mr. H. Geale was elected president while other officers are as follows: 1st vice president, Miss Helena Richardson; 2nd vice-preident, Dr. G. L. MacDougall; ecretary-treas- urer, Mrs. George Fothergill; grounds committee, Miss Lucille Bascom, Miss C. Painton, Joseph Bascom and Robert Halliday; lad- fes' tournoment captain, Miss nes ena Richardson; gentlemen's tour- nament captain, Vernon .Rowe. Mr, Gordon Whitfield, president for 1928, presided ober the meet- ing until after the election or or- ficers when the new president took charge. A vote of thanks was ex- tended to the past president for his services during the year. The matter of fets came up for discussion and the opinion was ex- pressed that the tennis diviion would be willing to raise by fees one half of the carrying charges for the year. It was thought that whatever sum might be raised by the club above th carrying charges should be devoted towards reduc- fng th club's debt. A motion was passed pointing out to the parent company, the Whitby Lawn Bowl- ing and Tennis Club, that the ten- nis division would be willing to accept a fee of $8 for men's full time membership, $6 for ladies' full time membership and $3.50 for juniors' and restricted memm- bership. In lieu of the fact that other tennis clubs charge a much higher fee it was considered that an increase of $1 in membership for both ladies and gentlemen would not be unreasonable, Last year there was a total membership of 60 and an effort will be made to increase this to 100. The mat- ter of feese, however, is entirely within the jurisdiction of directors. Upon motion of Gordon Whit- field it was decided to enroll the club in the Ontario Tennis Associ- ation. It is expected that the ten- nis season will open locally on May 1, two months earlier than last year.

This was the information re- ceived by the Ontario today from Mr. J. Anglin, owner of 'the lines sold. Some months ago Mr. Anglin gave an option to the Colonial Lines of Kingston on the Anglin Lines and later gave an option to Mr. Collacutt providing the Colon- fal Lines did not take up their option, The Colonial option ex- pired on the first of the month, while the other option would have expired yesterday. Mr. Collacutt personally came to Belleville and completed the sale. The price was $40,000 cash. It is understood, that Mr, Anglin will carry on for the Collacutt Lines until such time as a new schedule can be arranged and plans laid for taking care of the route. "Mr. Anglin will not leave the city but did not wish to state what business he will follow in future. He took over ,the Belleville to Kingston line four years ago the first of September next and in that time has given most courteous service, It was never a hardship for Mr, Anglin to go out of his way to accommodate his patron. He started with one small bus but soon this was inadequate to handle the traffic, Another bus was added and soon this addition was far short of the requirements of the route. A third bus larger and more commodious than either of the other two, was added a short time ago. In all the time Mr. Anglin has been running the Line not one ac- cident of a serious nature has oc- curred which reflects on the care- fulness of the owner and employ- ees of the line. "No doubt the Colacutt bus lines will extend their system to King- ston and that larger and better busses will be put on the route giving the patrons more service. All of the Collacutt busses are of the latest invention and most im- proved accommodation, Whether the bus line will extend only from Oshawa to Kingston or from To- ronto to Kingston has not been determined. It is understood the T.T.C. of Toronto for some time has been dickering for the fran- chise of the Collacutt Lines from Oshawa to Toronto and it is fur- ther understood that this route has been sold to the Transporta- tion Company for a sum of $120,- 000. If this is true no doubt Mr. Collacutt will make his headquart- ers in Oshawa and confine his bus operations to the Eastern part of Ontario." HARRY D. PETRIETO INVOKE JAY TREATY Hamilton Lawyer Charged With Failure to Pay Head Tax Chicago, April 10.--The old Jay treaty between Canada and the United States, executed in 1794, will be invoked in Federal Court in defense of Harry D.

Following his arrest last week he W@® released on bond of $1,000 and Bearing was set for Friday, April 12, before Federal Judge Charles E. Woodward. Under the terms of the old treaty, Petrie will contend, Cana- dians are free to come and go to the United States without time lim- itation or tax.

If Petrie loses the contest he will be deported.

LINDBERGH SAFE, BUT OVERDUE (Continued from Page 1) ing toward New York without rest or further ado. The last seen of Colonel Lindbergh here was at 12.30 yesterday, ten minutes after his hop-off at Val- buena Field, when he appeared over the American Embassy and zoomed low three times in his usual fare- well to his fiantee, Anne Morrow, daughter of the ambassador. "He straightened his plane out then and headed to the north, in the di- rection, it was believed, of Browns- ville, Texas, 485 miles away. But many hours after he should have arrived at Brownsville or some other border airport none reported having sighted him and, aside from thé ex- ressions of optimism at the Em- assy, there was some concern for his safety. . The Mexican government was frankly puzzled. Immediately that it was ascertained Colonel Lind- bergh was overdue the government made a check of all border points and other air fields in Northern Mexico without result. ves Again Brownsville, Tex, April 10--Col.
