VOL. 1---NO, 22 TE hawa Baily Times=] - The Oshawa Daily Reformer bh TWO MEN SAW BANDIT WATCHING HODGE HOME ---- Beeton, July 27.--It was A. B. Weatherup and his son who saw the ruaber killed in the fight with nder Hodge looking over the farm of Hodge last Thursday even- ing, or the evening before the at- tack on Hodge. They 'werk Ln their (farm fat about 5.60 o'clock, when they saw the man, afterward proved to be. the marauder, on the Canadian Pa- eific Rallway tracks, He seemed to be UYINE to get a good view of the Hodge home from his own Pasion, but a large tree and harn somewhat obstructed his view. He moved his position several times, and finally sat down on the rail- way embankment. The Weatherups told their story to Inspectors Stringer and Rae this afternoon, and took the of- ficers to the spot where the man hau Leen seated. To Trace Money Inspectors Stringer and Rae al- 80 today commenced work to find out where the dead man got the money found on him 'after his death on the Hodge farm. Some of the bills the officers think, may furnish a clue to another angle of the case upen which they are now working, The officers also made further investigation to prove beyond any doubt the real identity of the dead robber. The police have no doubt in their own minds, but of other independent itnesses. The watch found on the dead rob- ber furnishes almost conclusive evidence of the owner's identity. It is thd gbelief of the police that the dead robber in his early days served a Jong term in Kings: ton Penitentiary for robberies com- mitted in the North Coupty, and that he afterward went; to the United States, and hid 10 § periodical trips back to Ontario, staying most of the time in the immedjate peigh- borhood of Beeton, where he car- ried out a series of house ap BLOER gee WBIlE" ArouD bere he t by two names.

Sound, July -27.--William D. Mourse, who was tried before the District Judge, Francis R. Pow- ell, here today pleaded guilty to the charge of .robbery. After a strenuous effort by his counsel to bbtain a suspended sentence, the Judge sentenced the prisoper to a term of five yars in rortsmouth Penitentiary. This is exactly the same sentence as was impof#:d son his brother, his partper in Jjthe robbery over seven years ago. The Judge said he did not con- sider it part of his duty to show leniency on account of Mourse's previous fmprisonment and good conduct during his term. He found him equally guilty with his brother and believed he should receive the same sentence. If any leniency should be shown, it should be by the Parole Board or Minis- ter of Justice, he said. Mourse maintained absolute sil- ence and displayed no emotion be- fore the court. LIQUID FOUND IN TOMB ANALYSED Contained Common Salt and Sulphate of Sods Analysis Shows London, July 27.--A Cairo dis- patch to the Dajly Mail says that an alabaster camopic chest recently taken from a recess im the tomb of Cheops, shows that it consists of a 3 per cent. solution of matron (sesqui-carbonate of soda) in water. This natrop fis the usual Egyptian patron, which contains common salt and sulphate of soda. (Dr. George A. Reisner. Har- vard Egyptologist, last May open- ed the sealed recess in Cheops tomb and found the canopic box, which contained organic matter with a clear yellowish liquid. This or- ganic matter was supposed to be the siceraof Queen Hetepheres, mo- ther of Cheops.. The latest examination has dis- closed that the packets immersed in this liquid, which was about the came density as sea water, were in reality wyiscera wrapped im lin- en. This is the first time that water has been discovered in an ancient tomb, ad it is considered all the more remarkable as having been found, not in a tonb of a late per- iod, but in ome of the older pyra- mid age, nearly 5.000 years ago. 50 MILES AN MOUR WHEN KNOT WAS TIED Alexandria Bay, N.¥..

Ask any Canadian Pacific Agent, LONDON PROVED T0 BE VULNERABLE Three Hundred War "Planes Take Part in Manoeuvres London, July 27.--Three hun- dred war planes divided between attacking and defending forces, have proved London vulnerable to attack from the air. Conceding sthe practicability of launching girplapes from decks of warships, the attack on London was carried out as might be an attack on any coastal city. In event of war, London, of course, could be attacked by ajr- planes based at any continental points. At dawn a six-day series of war mapoeuvers began. From various airdromes 144 war bombing planes hopped off for London, and for other towns sit- uated at varieus points. Defending intelligence officers flashed the word to the ring of London home defense stations, built up since the war and still being developed. ; Defending planes taking the air at once, tried to intercept the jin- vaders. But five squadrons of bombers--30 planes--sucgeeded fn penetrating the defenses and theo- retically dropped many toms of bombs on docks, railway terminals and similar points--through which England must receive food com- stantly unless she is to starve. The operations were accompanied by but ome casuality. A plane crashed at Northolt airdrome and its pilot was burned to death. German air raids of the world war were brought back thrillingly to Londoners during the day. The size of the mapnoeuvers gave an H. G. Welislike vision of aerial war- fare of the future. when planes will attack "in wast series and ranks." There were many sham duels between planes 10.000 or 15.000 feet over London. The manceuvers fiwll continue throughout the week. As [Lon- doners go home at night, they will hear the drome of airplanes over- head, and occasionally see one, silboutted as shafts of hundreds of searchlights surrounding the vast city sweep the skies to detect the attackers. : Squire: "How can I tell whether a man is a Christian of a Moslem?"

James informs The Times that he has beaten by two days the record for the early growing of to- matoes of L. F. Johnston, Athol street, which was an. nounced in Tuesday's edition. Mr. James picked ripe tomas toes in his garden on Wednes- day July 18 whereas Mr. John. ston did not ick his until Friday.

J, Harris, 168 Centre street, THIEVES SECURE MUSEUM EXHIBITS Metropolitan Collection of Arts in New York is Mys- teriously Robbed New York, July 27.--The sup- posedly impregnable Metropolitan Museum of Art, where* New York's choicest treasures are guarded night and day like the riches of a Persian king, has been looted of one of its most exotic exhihits-- five Seventeenth century minia- tures on ivory. After wrinkling their hrows over the strange theft for exactly a week, police Monday night finally announced Its occurrence with the admission that they were complete- ly baffled. The only thing they are sure of is that no low-hrowed second siory man left those gaping holes in the heavy glass show case adlacent to the J. Pierpont Morgan collec- tion. The perpetrator exercised the rarest discrimination in sclecting the little baubles of the Fnglish Charles II. Their value to a rabid collection is of such proportions that none of t! seum authorties would hazard a guess at it. "Extremely valuable," they told the police and let is rest there. The show case was found broken open last Tuesday. The five bits of ivory. each about three inches square, had been lifted from their insets with the 'painstaking skill of a jeweller. All around were priceless pieces of art, many of them world famous in contrast to the miniatures, whose existence was known to only a few coppoisseurs. But nothing else had beep touched. The minia- tures were encased in hand ep- graved gold encircled with rhine- stopes perfectly matched. They were likenesses of four women and a man, participants in the English court life of the Seventeenth cen- tury. The police notes said that one of the women was a "Mrs. Vaughn, ope of the beauties of the per- jod," apd apother of a "Miss Vick- ers, a lady of the court." The man was Lord Robert Fitzgerald. Museum officials were upwill- ing. to discuss the loss. They dis- closed, however, that a guard usually stationed mear the showcase at night had been ill on July 18 and had pot been replaced.

FRENCH SUBMARINES TO CARRY AT LEAST ONE SEAPLANE Paris, July 26.--All French submarines soon will carry one or two seaplanes as a part of their reg- ular equipment. This decision by the Fremch Ministry of Marine has been revealed following the great in- terest shown im the announced in- tention of Clarence D. Chamberlin to experiment in taking passengers from trans-Atlantic liners to port by airplane when the liners. were a few hundred miles from shore Adwiral De Gouy, commenting on the Ministry's announcement, point- od out that the seaplane would be invaluable to the submarine, which, whan left to itself, is a relatively pind instrument of warfare. When the submarine comes to tue surface after a plunse. for instance, it needs jmmediate information concerning {the presence of enemy ships. 0 hd Mm ' J FRANCE AND RUSSIA MAY BE NEARING COMPLETE BREAK Diplomatic Relations May Be Severed -- French Envoy Warns Tchitcherin RED PROPAGANADA Communists Must Cease Ac- tivities in Paris or Break Will Occur Paris, July 27.--France and Rus- sia may be on the verge of breaking diplomatic relations according to re- ports circulating today in -policlal circles. Great importance is attached to the interview the French -Ambassa- dor, Herbette, had recently with George Tehitcherin, the Russian Foreign Minister. They met in Moscow. It is believed here that the Am- bassador conveyed a final warning that Russia must prepare for a break or else cease communist prop- aganda and espionage in France. Although it is denied on the Qual D'Orsay that Herhette had any special instructions in the matter, it is admitted that his first action up- on arriving in Moscow after a long v'sit tn Paris, was to ask an inter: view with the Russian Foreign Min- ister. i : The entire French press gives prominence to telegrams from Mos- cow telling of the enesgy with which Herbette complained of "revolutian- ary propaganda carried on hy the Soviets in France," It is concluded that the Ambassador could have tak- en such strong initiative only on in- structions from diplomatic chief- tains. Soviet Explanation Tchitcherin's . explanation that Communist propaganda is the work of the Third Internationale, which is Independent of the Soviet Gpv- ernment, is rejected as utterly un- satisfactory. "A pure and simple lie," is what the Journal des Debats called this explanation. It attempts to nrove with documentary evidence that So- viet proj ida and. aspignage in France Is direced from the Soviét Embassy in France, Some ipdica- tions of this were obtained in the course of the recent trial of French Communists for stealing official documents from the Ministry of War. + Disquieting facts comcering the results of anti-military propaganda in the army are also said to have in- fluenced the French Government in its new attitude adopted toward Moscow. A number of incidents of insubordination have been reported recently from the provincial bar- racks, (notably. among fhe reserv ists. Marshal Petain is quoted as say- ing at a gathering of reserve officers that 'the men used to grumble, but at least obeyed." (Cases of absolute disobedience are reported. Several Paris newspapers advise a break with Russia. "So long as we maintain diplomatic relations with the Soviets. the struggle with com- munists will be extremely difficult if not hopeless," the Jourpal des Debats said. Le Temps said: "The Communists are sapping the wital forces. of the country." ; No Ady; to France _ Journal des Debats continued 4 " "The exchange of the French spd Russian ambassadors is no advan- tage to us, whereas it enables the Bolshevists to sepd money and in- structions to their agents under cover of diplomatic immunity. Bri- tain after setting a bad example, took the jnitiative recently which we would do well to copy." Referring again to London's.re- cent break with Moscow which pre- sulted from subversive activities al- leged 'to have been carried om "in England through the Soviet's diplo- matic apd commercial agencies. Liberte said: "England has broken with the Soviets. Germany is pre- preparing to do so. America aad Switzerland always have refused to have anything to do with the Geoy- ernment of criminals. Let us hope Herbette's intervention is" a final warning." ---------------------- . GRAIN YIELDS TO .
