The Osh: VOL. 54--NO. 216 Published at Osha . al wa, ont, Cansdy tivry Day a a I Morality Report Before The Cobourg Town Council Police Committee Bring in Re-|- port on Alleged Existing Condtions -- Heated De- bate in Endeavor to Clear Up Cloudy Situation in the; Ferry Town -- Cobourg, March 12.--At a meet- ing of the Council the Police Com- mittee brought in a report which was acceptable to the Council and was signed by all the members ex- cept Coun, MacDonald, The mem- bers who signed it are Couns Thompson, McGuire, Skitch and the Mayor. It may be stated that the Committee had several meetings and much heated debate before all the members could agree on a com- mon report, and it was not until just before the Council met that such a report was finally drafted. However, Coun. MacDonald did not agree and therefore did not sign. Following is the report which was eventually adopted by the Coun- cll:-- "The Police Committee report as follows with regard to the several charges-- 1. That minors were allowed frequent pool rooms. 2. That cigarette smoking among minors was too prevalent, 3. That there was insufficient lighting in the Park. 4. That there was insufficient policing of the park between the hours of 11 pm, and 2 a.m, 6. That twelve young women in an intoxicated condition had been refused admittance to the rink. 6. That there were numerous dives in Cobourg. 7. That there were disgraceful conditions at the park. 8. That a man carrying demi- johns had been seen openly on the street on Sunday. "A meeting of the Committee was held on Feb, 13, to which were invited the members of the town and provincial police, some of the par- ties mentioned in the charge and the Rev. Mr. Bremner. After hear- ing the report of Chief Ruse as to Clause 7, together with others best acquainted with the park, we believe there is little ground for the com- plaint, as the Chief himself stated he had visited the parks at all to TOWING SHIPS ARE BLOWN OUT TO SEA St, John's, Nfld, Mar, 11,-- Storms today swept the relief ships Sylvia and Sable Island, whiich are 'attempting to tow the disablpd Ken- tucky, forty miles southwa from the entrance to the local harbor. A report reaching here tonight from one of the rescue ships said that as soon as the weather moderates an attempt will be made to tow the Kentucky bow-on instead of stern foremost. hours of the night, and not once had found things out of the way. He had asked regularly of tour- ists at the Motor Camp if they were satisfied with conditions there and nothing but the highest praise had been given by tourists of the Co- bourg camp, Clause 8 was drop- ped after the explanation given by Mr, Shafer and Constable Cousans. '""Re Clause 2--While your com- mittee deprecates the fact that min- ors are smoking, yet the statutory law in this particular is respected. This matter is, we believe, one for the parents and not particularly for the police, and we, the police, would welcome co-operation of par- ents in this resect. "Re Clause 3--We think, with Chief Ruse, that no extra lights are required at the Park. "Re Clause 4--We think that no extra police are required at the Park. "A further meeting of the Com- mittee was held on March '1st, at which the ladies representing the various church 'organizations, mem- bers of the Ministerial Association and the public were invited. At this meeting only two charges were made by one lady as follows: 1, That minors were allowed to frequent poolrooms. 2, That gambling for chocolate bars was allowed in one hotel. "Your committee has only here- say evidence to go on in these mat- ters. Chief Ruse has stated that he has taken action in the matter com- plained of in Clause 1, and that the young man referred to as frequent- ing poolrooms had falsely told the poolroom proprietor that he was of age, "We find that the police have in- vestigated all the matters referred PT pr pe Where "Coin of the Realm" EA, pressed into small bricks, passes for money in Siberia, Mongolia and custom is at least 1000 years old and is a sign of the great value these people place on their tea.

"In conclusion we would recom- mend that an extra night watch- man be employed for three months in the summer, he to be under the supervision of Chief Ruse." ' Did the Deputy-Reeve Have a Finger in the Pie? Coun. MacDonald said that this report did not conform with the one promised the ladies, Several of the committee had promised the ladies many things not included in this report. They had told the la- dies they would be given what they had asked for. She claimed that 'the Deputy-Reeve had been busy in the preparation of this report and explained how she had seen Coun, Maher pass it over to Coun, Me- Guire. Coun. Maher was not on the committee and she could not under- stand why he should have anything to do with it, The Deputy-Reeve rose to a point of order and denied handing the re- port to Reeve McGuire, It was not true, Sleight-of-Hand in Council? Coun, MacDonald said that she would have to disbelieve her own eyes then, She had seen the whole performance, and suggested that possibly the paper did not reach the Reeve by reason of some sleight of hand manoeuvres on the part of the Deputy-Recve, She suggested that meetings had been held on the side (out in the hall) while the committee were supposed to be meeting in the Clerk's office that evening.

A. Penhale, chairman of the special corn borer committee of the county and president of the Elgin County Board of Trade. Mr. Penhale is in accord with the bill presented by the Minister of Agri- culture, several weeks ago, under which more drastic measures are being taken to control the pest. Mr. Penhale believes that gov- ernment inspectors should be sent to every county to see that a proper spring clean-up is being made, and in event such precautions are ig- nored by the farmers, he proposes to have the inspectors supervise the work and bill the farmer for it. "It is only by this means that the borer will be brought under com- trol." he declared. Instead of glorious life, I have spent my genius and energy in making .

KANSAS CITY 13 OWNER OF 'STAR' Kansas City Owns $10,000, 000 Property; Cannot Change Policies of Paper Kansas City, Mo., March 13.--- This city owns one of the leading mewspapers, properly reported to be earning '$1,000,000 a year and estimated to be worth in excess of $10,000,000. By provision of the will of Willlam R. Nelson, who founded the Kansas City Star forty years ago, that pap- er and at least $10,000,000 of other property, mostly real estate, become the property of Kansas City with the death Saturday of Mrs, Laura Nelson Kirkwood, last sur- vivor of the publisher's immediate family. But there will be no elections to decide the newspaper's policies, City Council's and other officials will not be called upon to decide what candidates it will support, In- stead, the Presidents of the State University of Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma are today taking over the estate. They will appoint two trustees, who will publish the pap- er, but they ara required by the Nelson will to sell the paper within two years, Proceeds of that sale and of sale of the other property, expected to total more than $20,000,000, will be invested in securities and the income of approximately $1,000,000 a year will be spent for paintings, sculpture, tapestries and other works of art for installation in a Municipal Art Museum, And there will be no rush of present-day artists to Kansas City to stock up that museum, The Nelson will provides that no work shall be bought unless the artist has been dead at least thirty years. Establishing the museum will carry out a lifelong dream of Col. Nelson. After his death, eleven years ago, his widow and Mrs. Kirkwood carried his ideal in pub- lication of the Star as nearly as they could. Irwin R. Kirkwood, husband of Mrs, Kirkwood, never ceased to stand guard over the pol- icies that her father advocated when alive, DRUNK KILLS SELF T0 AVOID ARREST Farmhand Ends Life With Shotgun After Threaten- ing To Kill Woman Canandaigua, N.Y., March 10.-- Daniel Jerome, 40-year-old farm hand, ended his life yesterday at the home of his employer, John E. Purdy, five miles north of here, by blowing off his head with a shot- gun charge. Jerome was found dead on a bed in a barricaded room by deputy sheriffs when they an- swered calls from Mrs, Purdy. Jerome came in drunk, got a shotgun and chased Mrs. [urdy about the house, threatening to kill her. Finally she wrestled with him for possession of the weapon, but he broke away. To save herself, Mrs. Purdy ran upstairs. She got to the upper floor just as a charge of the shotgun tore into the stair at her feet. Mrs. Purdy managed to escape from the house and sent a call for Sheriff Bolles. When he arrived he found Jerome locked in a room. He demanded the surrender of Jer- ome, but a shot was the answer. Later Sheriff Bolles and his depu- ties broke into the room and found Jerome dead in bed, the shot hav- ing torn away most of his head. Jerome had removed his shoes and fired the shotgun with his toes. While Jerome was chasing Mrs, Purdy, her husband was lying help- less in a sick bed. /STRATFORD HOME BADLY SCORCHED Stratford, March 13.--The worst tire of the season so far occurred in the city when the home of the McKay family at 166 Huron street was partially destroyed by flames, which spreading with rapidity threatened at one stage to envelop and consume the whole structure: The loss will amount to several hundred dollars, covered by insur- ance. In response to a telephone alarm sent in at 7.40 a.m, the de- partment were quickly on the seene and on arrival found a stiffish task confronting them. The McKay residence, of frame construction, its exterior covered with fire-proof shingles, was when the fire suec- ceeded in obtaining a firm hold, confined solely to the interior of the premises, presenting a diffi- culty which was only overcome by hard work on the part of the bri- WILL INVESTIGATE U.S. TARIFF BOARD Washington, March 11.--Investiga- tion of the Tarif Commission, and of charges that President Coolidge and others have sought to influence it, was ordered today by the Senate.

The players were escorted to automobiles, Headed by the two bands and the Mayor's car, a proces- sion was formed and a parade held to the City Hall Square, where Mayor Angrove extended the con- gratulations of the City of Kingston on their having defeated North Bay and won the championship of the Province and the first section of the Memorial Cup playoffs, His Worship expressed the pride of the people of Kingston in the team and told the players of the way the people at home followed their success in Toronto.

MANY LABOR REFORMS BY ITALY'S PREMIER Rome, March 11.--Declaring that capitalists really are captains of in- dustry and that capital and labor are not necessarily antagonistic en- tities, but that the one is the com- plement of the other, Premier Mus- solini today obtained the Senate's approval of the bill introduced hy the Fascist Government, establish- ing labor magistrates, compulsory arbitration between employers and workers and other labor reforms. The vote on the bill was 139 to 27. COLLINS ONE An rom WHO FAVORS (LF IN, TRAINING CHICAGO, Mar. 13--There are sev- eral pilots in the major leagues who cling to a belief that golf and baseball are, Individually, excellent but, collectively, not so good, es- pecially during spring training. Connie Mack was one of the first managers to take drastic measures against golf during the training period. John MsGraw stands (pat for timely concentration on baseball, One of those who countenances golf bags id Eddie Collins, White Sox chief and himself an enthus- iast, Collins insists that all eight- een holes be played on the courses prescribed by law and not on the ball field or in the clubhouse. The interim since the 1925 sea- son has given the Sox manager ad- ditional reason for belief in golf. Dubing a forty-yard shot for the green led Willie Kamm, Collins' third baseman, to the discovery that he possessed a voice, Kamm has been described as the man who invented silenca on the ball, field. Bill Gleason, former Sox pilot, always contended that the player, plus a sympathetic hot-corncr voice, would be one of thu greatest third baseman, The Scotch pas- time did for Kamm what many a ticklish situation around third did not--made him talk. Willie was playing a tight match in a foursome recently at San Fran- cisco, and dubbed his shot on a nice lie near the green. Tense, he tried a tentative swing before get- ting set--nnd the midiron dug deep into the turf, sending the ball ten feet or so and loaivg the match, Kamm found' his tongue, and plunged into costic and explicit comment on--+hings in general and golf in particular, The gallery was shocked. Kamm may have heen, too, but he immed- iately dispatched a gleeful lctter tell- ing Collins of is great discovery. The net result may be that tha White Sox infield, last year a sorie- what sedate quartet, will be quite a bit more peppery during the coms ing season. pen -------- --_-- cs KING E.
