"This stupidity alone is sufficient to warrant the downfall of Fergu- son, as it shows a political bias." 'His lack of experience and fore- sight disqualifies him for even tne position of a school inspector in a remote district in the wilds, intead of his being placed in the position of minister of education of the greatest province in the Domin- fon," Mr. Gordon proceeded. 'His educational policy now for- ces small school section to pay in the neighborhood of $1,000 to a young girl to teach a handful of pupils, instead of the government properly supporting the rural schools. "The Liquor Control Act was passed to prevent bootlegging and reduce drinking. But Sir Henry Drayton recently sald that drinking has increased. "The Liquor Control Act must be accepted as the law of the province, but the administration of the act must be put into the hands of men who believe in the temperate use of liquor, Any person causing a breach of the law should mot only be punished, but should be pre- vented . from obtaining liquor again." Mr. Gordon furthermore claimed that Mr. Ferguson and the late Hon. W, J, Hanna caused Eastern Ontario municipalities to pay $2,- 000,000 more for Hydro power plants than they would have been compelled to pay had Mr. Fergu- son stood loyally behind Sir Adam Beck, After attacking the gasoline tax, Mr. Gordon declared that $20,000 is too much to pay a chairman of the diquor control board, and argu- ed that officials all down the line are paid salaries far beyond the value of the services they perform. YOUNG MEN GIVEN BENEFIT OF DOUBT J Suspended Sentence Allowed on a Serious Charge Joseph O'Brien was allowed sus- pended sentence when he was con- victed by Magistrate Hind in city police court this morning on a charge of committing a serious of- fense against a girl between the age of 14 and 16. The court took into consideration. the fact that O'Brien was not yet 21 years of age and that he had been of good character. The offense is alleged to have been committed in East, Whitby township, and Alfred Morgan, also under 21 was implicated on the same charge. Evidence was produced which show- ed that the girl was not of previous chaste character and that O'Brien and Morgan were not entirely to blame. Gerard Beaudoin, of Toronto, ap-, peared for the defence while the Crown was represented by Crown Attorney J. A. McGibbon. Mr. Me- Gibbon was willing that the defen- dants should be given another chance. Morgan has been remanded for sentence until August 23. Spectators were excluded from the court room during the trial.

The rocket had been shot skyward in connection with the fireworks display at Alexandra Paik and when it dropped on to the roof it was still burning.

Miss Oughterson is heralded as a lady of quite unusual distinction, with wide experience in education- al and administrative work, In ad- dition to her actual teaching car- eer she has had her ability supple- ented and her outlook enlarged work in other fields. When the war broke out aye was assisting Dr. Lyttleton at Eton, . but like most of her country women she volunteered for service, and receiv- ed high praise from the war office for her work at Liverpool where she had command of 1,600 women in the postal censorship depart- ment. Afterwards she was invited to return to Eton, where at pres- ent she occupies the unique posi- tion of Dame "in College," having under her care the 70 boys--"col- legers'--who form 'the real Et- on" and are the centre of its scho- lastic life. It is this varied experience that has helped to make Miss Oughter- son one who has been founa able as a teacher, not only in the nar- rower classroom sense, but in the much more important task of as- sisting the formation of such character in her pupils as is neces- Miss Mary Oughterson to Become Headmistress of Bishop Bethune College Miss Mary Oughterson, who is |.

Following representations made by the Chamber of Commerce to the Skinner Company, Limited, and to Roy H. Bishop, architect, four more Oshawa contractors have been invited to tender on the fac- tory building to be erected here by the Skinner company. These firms are Bathe & McLellan, the W, J.

Found in Demolishing Old Building An interesting document, yellow with age and with the ink turned brown, but still perfectly legible, was found yesterday by one of the fore- men at Elmcroft, the farm of George W. McLaughlin 'and o5&, north of the city. The document, which was in the form of a grain receipt, was found while the last old building on the farm was being torn down. It bore the date "16 October, 1838," so that it is over eighty years old. On it was written the following: "Re- ceived from W, A. Mason, thirty- seven bushels, three pounds, wheat, J. B. Warren." In one corner were some figures, as follows: "B. 37 3/60."

WANDERING GEESE * CAUSED TROUBLE Woman Was Fined $1.00 and Ordered to Pay Costs The story of wandering geese was told in police court this morning by J. Brown, East Whitby township farmer, who complained against his neighbour, Mrs, Elizabeth Wheeler, whom he claimed allowed her flock of geese to run on his property. "The fence would not stop them," Brown claimed, "For they would fly over the top of it." The complainant alleged that the geese had damaged his oats. He sta- ted that he had warned the defend- ant but she had refused to prevent the excursions of her flack, Several witnesses had seen the seese on Brown's property but Mrs, ei stated she had made con- scientious effort to keep her flock at home even to the extent of placing some wire on Brown's fence. Magistrate Hind concluded from the evidence that there had been a trespass and ordered the defendant to pay a fine of $1 and costs or $22.50, while he also advised her to see to it that the geese were kept at home. J. A. McGibbon appeared for the prosecution while T. K. Creighton represented the defendant. Any cold cooked fish may be used in this. way.

Thou- sands crowded the grandstand and the large playing fleld at the park, while many other thousands view- ed the display from various points of advantage In the cny. A heavy downpour of rain had prevented the staging of this spec- tacle and the finals of the soitpail tournament when the picnic proper was held at Lakeview Park, last Saturday. Announcement was made, however, that these events would be held on Thursday night, and the announcement has now been fulfilled. People poured into the park from all quarters of the city and from neighboring towns and villages and no one went away disappointed. The exhibition of fireworks com- menced at nine o'clock. Previous to that time the softhall games had been played and during the short intermission which followed, the band of the Ontario Regiment pro- vided a fine program. Sharp at the stroke of nine all eyes were attracted to that section of the athletic field which bad been reserved for the fireworks. A low hissing sound heralded the swift flight of an aerial bomb high into the sky where it burst with a loud report, scattering numbers of brightly colored artificial stars, which appeared in beautiful con- trast against the inky blackness of the heavens. Gigantic rockets followed in quick succession and multi-colored star shells lit up the sky and the earth below in brief, vivid flares. Gigantic spin-wheels and foun- tains pouring forth bright showers of spray were also features of the performance. On one occasion there appeared an imitation water- fall with sparkling water pouring over the banks in realistic fashion. The outline of the maple leaf, emblem of the Dominion, was formed by a special type of fire- works and the big audience cheer- ed as the band played *"The Maple Leat Foverer." A minute later the figure had disappeared. Probably the most interesting in- cident occurred when there flashed on a large frame a remarkable like- ness of Mr. R, 8S. McLaughlin, president of General Motors of Canada, the lines of the face and shoulders being formed in light blue. The crowd warmly applaud- ed, joining in the sentiment ex- pressed by the band when it played "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow," A few minutes more of the gor- geous spectacle, then the sentence' ""Good Night" appeared written in letters of fire. Immediately the throng "turned towards the park gates and began an exit on foot and in cars. Credit is due to members of the various committies in charge for night's program was conducted, In ance, there was no confusion ana the park was emptied of people within a short period. VAGRANT WILLING T0 WORK ON FARM Magistrate Decides to Give Young Man a Chance -- Arthur Horn who walked into the police station yesterday afternoon claiming that he was without friends, money or food appeared before Mag- istrate Hind on a charge of vagrancy. Horn who: came to Canada from London, England, four months ago said that he had only been able to secure employment for three weeks. "Are 'you willing to work on a farm?" His Worship asked. "Yes," Horn answered earnestly. His Worship intimated that the court would do its best to find him employment and remanded him in custody for eight days so that he might be provided with food and shelter, BAND CONCERT AT MEMORIAL PARK BY REGIMENT BAND The band concert to be given to- night (Friday) will be in Memorial Park, By special request the band are playing Faust by Gounod.

The town would be ill advised to sest the financial business of the Board of Education in the council, Industries locating on the site now purchased by the council will have to pay more per acre than the Board of Education are or the city will lose out on the deal. Now for the answer: My offer to the council took no account of streets nor the exces- sive cost of plotting and all incidental expenses in preparing a piece of ground as a. sub-division, 2. More than six acres of land are compassed in the transaction between the Board of Education and myself, covering streets all around it, 3.
