ATTEMPT T0 BURN LEGISLATIVE HOME Seskatchewan Parliament Buildings Object of In- cendiarism Regina, July 2.--Police, both mounted and local, were last night searching the capital city of Sas- katchewan for a person or persons who made an attempt early Sun- day morning to burn the parlia- ment buildings, but who only suc- ceeded in doing extensive damage to a couple of massive oak doors at the main entrance of the leg- islative Building. A local doctor returning to his home near the buildings shortly after midnight Saturday noticed a glare at the entrance to the build- ings, and upon investigating found' flames shooting up from the door- way.

On the stonework near the door- way the words "Gardiner and Crime--Get Out," were printed in red chalk characters, Detectives from both the R.C.

Nine lives were added yesterday to the terrible toll taken by fatale ities in the province week-end. - Rice Lake claimed two Toronto men as victims, An 11-year-old boy met death at Oshawa in the path of the International Limited, Toronto bound from Montreal. Auto traffic left three more deaths in its trail, A child succumbe y burns in a Hamilton hospital, A construction accident claimed one life at Sarnia, while a sailor mec death while swimming at Ojibway, Aside from the three fataliti-s the holiday was marked by an av- sence throughout the province of serious motor accidents. Reports from all quarters showed heavy traffic throughout the day, yet few crashes accompanied the con- tinuous stream of motoring pare ties. Perhaps the roadway disas- ters of the two previous days had left - their impression on the holi- day motorist as he set out and made caution keynote of his day. Perhaps as on previous occasions there was safety in numbers and the congested conditions on 4&1 highways made impossible the speeding and cutting in which so often accompany tragedies. There was only one serious col lision reported during the day. that in which Mrs. Wilbert McCaul of Exeter lost her life. Four oth- ers were injured in the collision which occurred a few: miles north of the town. ¢ Toronto Men Drown Peterboro, July 2. -- Two resi- dents of Toronto, A. E.
