PAGE SIXTEEN "THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 192? TWO NEN CRUSHED IN RUBBER PLANT Blast in Rubber Kiln Is Fatal to Workmen, No Witnesses Toronto June 15.--Crushed be- tween a stone wall and a huge steel door which had been flung open by thousands of pounds of steam pressure, two employes of the Gutta Percha Rubber company on O'Hara avenue, Parkdale, were instantly killed To yaday night. One was Frank McCarthy of 30 McDonnell avenue, bridegroom of two weeks and an employe of the plant for only four months. The other was Ernest Stinson of 244 Croton street, Todmorden, 38 years of age, father of seven children and an employe of the Gutta Percha company for 10 years. There were no-eye-witnesses to the double tragedy, police were told indications showed, however, that the two, prying together on a crowbar had sprung the catches on a huge steel door, 12 feet in diameter, which capped the end of a drying kiln, The catches sprung, the great door, four feet from the stone wall when closed, swung outward under the tremen- dous pressure and crushed the two against the stone. Workers in other parts of the building hearing the roar of escap- ing steam and the dull clang as the disc--shaped door struck the stone wall, found Stinson and McCarthy lying side by side, their skulls battered in and their bodies terrib- ly crushed, Death' had been in- stantaneous. McCarthy speaking to his bride at their home before he went to work on Thursday had said that something must be wrong with the machinery in the dry kiln and that he feared an accident. A few hours later, he was dead and his bride a widow. Stinson is believed to have been opening the door at the end of the great cylindrical kiln in order to remove rubber which was being treated. McCarthy was helping him. Investigators believe that the pressure gauge on the kiln must have been showing zero at the time the two opened the catches with a crowbar, whereas at least a large portion of the capacity 4,000 pounds must have been exerted, Coroner Dr. J. H. McCon- nell, inspecting the scene of the double tragedy, is of the opinion that an {inquest will disclose trouble with the gauge. A girl may think when she marries she is at the end of her troubles and she realizes later which end.--Bran- C.P.R.

"The keenest fight was for the dog with the most beautiful eyes. The dogs stood in-a row, all registering emotion, and it soon became obvious that the real contest was between an animal with soft, melting, "Pola Ne- gri" eyes and one with cyes that sparkled. The "Pola Negri" type won. "Twenty dogs competed for the distinction of being as unlike, any breed as possible--twenty dogs which might have been terriers, but for the fact that they looked rather like col- lies, although their ears had a bull- dog touch and their tails bore a re- semblance to those of a spaniel. Eight hundred entries were receiv- ed for the whole show, and the ex- hibits included horses, ponics, don- keys, cats, rabbits, poultry, pigeons, goats, lambs, mice, and even tortois- es."

The ° group brought in 32 pieces of luggage and swore to only $560 worth of dutiable articles, One of them was Mrs. E. H. Loeb, mother of Richard Loeb, now serv- ing a life sentence for the kidnapping and slaying of Bobby Franks, She was fined $9,837 penalties on unde- clared apparel. The other Chicago women in the party were Mrs. Rose Loeb, Miss Virginia E. Bohnen and Miss Anna M. Katholing, They had been touring Europe since March, Mrs, Rumsey was returning from Spain where she presented to the town of Trujillo a statute of Pizarro, sculptured by her late husband, a polo player and artist who was kill- ed in a match on Long Island sev- cral years ago. Federal officials said they believed Mrs, Rumscy had brought back more than $1,500 in un- declared wearing apparel and jewels. Remains Undisturbed Mrs, Rumsey scemed undisturbed by the long quizzing and inspection. She attributed her troubles to a jew- cled handbag which she presented to Lucrezia Bori, Metropolitan opera star and a fellow passenger, on the second day out, Mme. Bori was also detained for a while, The Diva objected to seizure of the jewclled bag, claiming that as a resident of a foreign country she is entitled to bring personal belong- ings into the United States. But cus toms agent held the bag and also scaled Mrs, Rumsey's luggage--four trunks and five small picces--for fur- ther scrutiny, A flood of tips from under cover treasury agents in Europe 1s said to he responsible for the recent seizures.

That is what is bothering the East York police today. .On Thursday afternoon at 3.05 a man dodged about the. C.N.R. tracks, puzzled the train crew with his movements, and then either tripped or dropped into the path of the heavy train. When the police arrived and examined his clothing they found a sheet of rough paper upon which was inscribed in pen- cil the times of arrival and depar- ture of trains at the Union station. A veteran's badge numbered 403- 336, an ivory-handled pocket-knife with the initials "B. H." scratched upon it, a T.T.C. ticket, and some loose change were found in his pockets. The crew of the train, which was a ten-car freight bound from Wasago, noticed the man walking along the side of the tracks. He looked back at the train, crossed the tracks once, and then made to recross the rails, falling or drop- ping down on the rails upon which the train was fast approaching. With the emergency brakes ap- plied, the train stopped in the com- paratively short distance of 350 feet. The body was found at the side of the rail in a horribly' mut- ilated state, life quite extinct. The skull was badly crushed, the right leg almost amputated at the knee and the right arm at the ebow. The face was badly torn and the pelvis severely injured.
