British Government Allocates Seats In Proposed Legislature For Indie London, Aug. 17.--Prime Min- ister Ramsay MacDonald last night made public his plan for allotting seats to Hindus, Mos- lems, Sikhs, untouchables, and other antagonistic races, creeds and classes in the future Pro- vincia] legislatures of British In- Marked by the car and delib- eration fitting a landmark In Imperial history, the Prime Min- ister's statement begins on a note of warning. The verdict doubtless will .be displeasing to all Indian communities, he predicts. The British Goverment never wished to intervene in ' communal con- troversies, and strove hard to en- courage a settlement by the In- dians themselves. Their failure to' agree placed an almost insur- mountable obstacle in the way of constitutional development, forcing the British Government to take action, The Cabinet. it was announced, 'will submit the new scheme to Parliament unless the communities agree oa a better plan themselves. The most im- portant decisions are ty continue the present Indian voting aystem of separate electorates, and 10 fix the proportions of Hindu and Moslem seats in the Punjab and Bengal. The award leaves for the Indians to solve their troubles themselves, They may completely or partia:ly revige it before the new Constitution is enacted at Westminster, provided all parties agree. The program ignores the problem of repre- sentation in the central legisl.- ture, ac it is still regarded as unripe for settlement, Hindus are granted an abso- lute majority of seats in Madras, the United Provinces, PRihar, Orissa, and the Central rov- fnces, and a preponderarce in Bombay and Assam.

DECLARES CREEK BATHING IS DANGEROUS Frequent Warnings Are Be- ig Disregarded by Parties of Boys In spite of frequent warnings is- || sued by the Board of Health and the Medical Health Officer re- | garding the possible consequences boys of all ages still persist in using the creek for bathing and swimming during the summer months. At the foot of Alma Street the boys have built a dam and created quite a deep swimming pool which is, apparently, increasing in pop- ularity. The Medical Health Officer, Dr. T. W. G, McKay, speaking to The Times this morning, repeated his previous warnings against this practice. "It is apparently impos- sible for us to stop it without a small army of police," said Dr. McKay, "but parents should for- bid their children to swim or bathe in the creek. All the storm sewers from practically the whole city empty into the water, and we do not know how many other sewers empty into the storm se- wers carrying all sorts of filth in- to the water. "The danger is a very real one, and there is really no reason for using the creek with the lake so close and the Rotary Park Pool available for smaller children," said Dr. McKay. PLEADS GUILTY TO LETTER THEFT Accused Said He Commit- ted Act Because He Was Refused Relief Liwellyn Nichols, Buena Vista Avenue, pleaded guilty this morning when charged in City Police Court with the theft of a letter containing a valuable se- curity on Saturday. He elected to be summarily dealt with by the Magistrate and stated that his act was prompted from the fact that he applied for relief on Sat- urday morning 'but was turned down. 1 could not see my family starve' said the pe=slod. Magistrate Creighton pointed out.that he 'had not improved matters by his act" and that the charge was a most serious one. He was remanded in custody for sentence. Enquiry at the City Relief De- pot this morning elicits the in- formation that Nichols made no applcation to the ecivie authori- ties for relief, His application may, however, have been made to the township as he lives out- side the city limits, BOY IS SHOT BY UNKNOWN RIFLE Lad Rushed | to Hospital Af- ter Shooting Near Markham Markham, Aug. 17.--Vietim of shooting at Markham yesterday afternoon, Frank Barber, aged 15 years, of 281 Beech Avenue, Toronto, was rushed to the Tor- onto East General Hospital with a bullet wound in his left foot. Barber, who wag staying at the Wilson Camp at Green River, had walked out into the country, along with a companion, when the two were passing through the farm of Fred Postle of Mark- ham, it is alleged, that a shot was fired. After the lad had been taken to the hospital by Dr, F. Hore of Markham, who rendered first aid, Inspector Boyd of 'he Provincial Police questioned him about the affair and later in the day took Postle to headquarters for ques- tioning, Police are continuing their Investigations, POLICE DISPERSE REDS IN BERLIN Berlin, Aug. 17. -- Police, swinging truncheons freely, frus- trated a Communist demonstra- tion last night when extremists attempted a series of city-wide protests against the regime of Chancellor Franz vom Papen. Fif- ty were arrested. The anti-government demon- strations were organized in vari- ous parts of the capital. When they began the police descended quickly on the scattered groups, chared them with truncheons and dispersed the parades. SPELLBOUND They were discussing the new typist, WHEN CHARGED IN COURT William Armstrong, of Toron- to, while not a very successful fisherman, appears to be fairly lucky in other directions, He was charged in City Police Court this morning with a breach of ti.e Game and Fisheries Act, it bein alleged that he was fishing in a private water on Sunday evening last, According to his own story he certainly had a rod, a line, a hook and a worm, while was also standing on the banks of a private stream, According to the evidence of the game warden he was fishing for some time. The Magistrate, reading the section of the Act under whi:h the charge was laid, quoted, "it shall be unlawful for any person to take fish." Armstrong did not catch any so the charge against him was dismissed. Had he been more successful and been able to secure even a moderaie amount of reward for his ang- ling activities, he would have come within the section quoted, and would have been liable for the penalties provided so this was one c:&e in which it was quite profitable to be an unsu:z- cessful fisherman, The case aroused much inter- est, and not a little amusement, in police court this forenoon. KIWANIANS WELL SATISFIED WITH OPERATION OF BOYS CAMP + With visiting guest-speakers having been discontinued until the week of September 1 by the Kiwanis Club the weekly lun- cheon meeting yesterday held in the Genosha Hotel was taken up with a general discussion of the affairs of this most active local organization, With the annual camp for un- der-privileged boys now again a thing of the past for the 'present year, and half the year having gone by, the treasurer presented an interim approximate financial statement showing the clubs finances to be in a healthy state, Generous Donations Commenting on this statement the presidest, N. Bassett, stated 'our finances are better than they were a year ago. We do not owe anything, the camp site Is fully paid for, and the members of this club should be very happy regarding the condition of our affairs', Reports regarding the boys' camp this year proved that this event had been administered dur- ing 1932 at considerably less cost than in the previous year, this being due in very great part to very generous donations of vege- |tables and other commodities from citizens and business houses and also financial subscriptions all of which will be formally and gratefully acknowledged by the club just as soon as lists are com- plete. To Erect The question of erecting a fence at the camp was brought up by Kiwanian Virtue offering the necessary fencing at an un- heard of price while other Ki- wanians volunteered to dig a post-hole each, totalling nineteen [holes at the time of the meet- | ing. Fence posts will he secured and a "hee" held in the very near future to carry out thi most necessary work.

GUNDY CO. (Issue Authorized by Private Bill of Legislature to Provide for Consolida- tion of Floating Debt & Township TENDERS WERE OPENED TUESDAY Township - Council Chose Opportune Time to Place Its Debenture Of- fering on the Market East Whitby township yester- day afternoon sold an issue of $85,000 ten-year instalment six per cent, debentures to the Tor- onto firm of Wood, Gundy and Company, Limited, at a price of 99.77, a splendid price which brought much satisfaction to the members of the township council. At the last session of the prov- incial legislature, the township of East Whitby secured the passing of a private bill permitting it to consolidate its debt of -82,000, and entitling it to issue deben- tures not to exceed $85,000. This debt was caused by umcollected taxes, insufficient levies and extra unemployment works for which no debentures had been issued. The bill was passed last March. Since them, the township has th'or- oughly canvassed the bond situa- tion, and up to a few weeks ago did not feel that the market was such as to justify offering the de- bentures, or obtaining offers at any reasonable figure. Recently, careful inquiries were made, and it was found that, owing to the recent British con- version and the Imperial confer- ence, the bond situation had ma- terially improved. It was felt that it was an opportune time to offer the isue, and an issue of ten-year instalment, six per cemt. bonds for $85,000 was advertised and offered to leading financial houses, Tenders Opened The tenders received were opened yesterday afternoon in the offic of Conant & Annis, Oshawa, with all the councillors, except Maurice Hart, who is on holidays, in attendance, along with the township clerk and solicitor. There were three firm bids, that of Wood, Gundy and Co., Ltd., for 99.77 being the highest, and this was accepted. The other bids wera 'ome of 99.76 from H. R. Bain and Co., Ltd., and one of 99.41 from A. E. Ames and Company. In ad- dition, several other brokers made proposals that options be given at various prices, but substan- tially in line with the firm prices offered. The sale of these debentures at the price obtained will enable the township to pay off all its floating indebtedness, thereby saving hundreds of dollars per annum in financing changes, be- cause, as a floating debt interest had to be paid on the minimum bank balances monthly, whereas in the form of debentures the ine debentures the interest is paid an- nually and as part of the instal- ments due each year. Remarkable Sale The sale of the East Whitby ise sue at this price is rather markable in many respects. It in- dicates a very substantial recov- ery in the bond market for muni- cipal debentures, as for some time past there has been practically no market for such issues in the gen- eral market, It also indicates in- directly that financial houses do not look with too much disfavor on Oshawa's present position, con- sidering that East Whitby is a municipality surrounding Osha- wa and to some extent dependent on industrial conditions in this city. A Comparison While there have been few re- cent debenture sales with which (Continued on page 3) Col.

It came at the end of a day when the world rejoiced in the arrival of a new mite of humanity thnt would help the bereaved parents forget the tragedy of their first born, Colonel Lindbergh's telegram addressed to editors of newspup- ers and press associations, was as follows: Mrs, Lindbergh and I have made our home in New Jersey. It is naturally our wish to ccn- tinue to live there, near our friends and interests. Obviously, however, it is impossible for us to subject the life of our second son to the publicity which we feel was in a large measure ie- sponsible for the death of our first. We feel that our children have a right to grow up normale ly with other: children. Coa- tinued publicity will make this impossible. I am appealing to the press 'to permit our children to lead the lives of norma] Ai:- ericans, ; "(Signed) Charles A, Lindbergh."
