This is taken to mean that if the Bricklayers' Union are forbidden to walk out, no other building trades un- ion will be permitted to participate in the strike. "We know nothing about it," de- clared Secretary Bamber of the Brick- layers' Union, when queried as to the authenticity of the report.

NEARLY BOMBED CITY OF SIDNEY German War-Time Flying Officer Confirms Au- stralian Rumors Sydney, Australia, Oct. 19.--When the German raiders were scouring the Pacific in the early days of the war, the people of Sydney were badly scared more than once by ru- mors that seaplanes loosed from the marauding ships had been fly- ing over the city and that bomb- ing air raids might be expected. These stories were never defin- itely confirmed until Monday, when Alexander Stein, chief officer of the German freighter Main, now in this port, disclosed in a lecture that he had once flown over Sydney with a bomb-laden plane and authority to "smash up the town." Stein was then a flying officer on the German raider Wolf. When the raider was lying near Gabo Is- land he flew over Sydney at a height of 3.000 feet in order to as- certain what British warships were lying in Sydney Harbor. He carried at the time, so he says, a load of bombs which he had discretionary powers to use, but restrained from dropping them because he had' lived in Sydney before the war and had many friends here.

Reference was made in the memo to an, electric sign which might be se- cured' Asked by Mr. Grant what was meant by this reference. Mr. Alloway explained that the company had an opportunity of securing an electric sign bearing the word "Times."

"Why did you not refer to it?" asked the cross examiner. "Were you not of the impression that all docu- ments relative to the case should have been produced at that time?"

CARNIVAL SECOND NIGHT Booths and Concessions Well Patrcnized--Event Promises to Be Great Success NUMBER "SOLD OUT" Titchener Smith Puts on Clas- sical Dancing Revue--D. Dowdell Wins Ring is estimated that nearly two people attended the Ku .ghts of Pythias Carnival in the old West End Rink last night; the second night of their all-week pro- gram. Monday evening's crowd is estimated at about a thousand, and the most conservative estimate on thea number of people entering the last night is 1,500, As was the case Monday evening, the booths and concessions were well patronized, and few in number were the people who did not return home with something. A number of the games were all "Sold out" of rrizes when the evening was at its height, and Mrs. Franks, whose duty it was to keep the booths sup- nlied with merchandise, had a busy ime on her hands. As it was; the hooths featuring kewpie dolld, candy, groceries, and tea sets ran out of *bnds at least once during the even- ing. The blanket stands were also very popular. One of them ran out of blankets, and the only reason the asther didn't do the same thing was that it was better supplied to begin with, This latter booth not only car- riei blankets, but also has a nice variety of Spanish shawls which at. tract many players. During the whole evening a erowd gathered around the "Country Store' in the center of the rink, and 4he wheel.was kept husy. The attraction of this conces- sion is, of course, that there is a nrize to everyone every time. Acrobatic dancing featured hte program presented on the stage at eight and. ten o'clock last night, First a male dancer appeared, thon 1 girl dressed in similar costume, giving solo dances first and then 'ollowing with a good exhibition of classic dancing in couples, Another act that was apparently much ap- nreciated by the audience, was the dancing by two of the girls, who 'howed considerable acrobatic abil- 'ty. This troupe is under Titchiner Smith of Toronto and the majority of the girls are from New York. The leading lady of the troupe was for some time connected with a Zeig- field's Follies, Todry is a big day for the kid- dies of the Children's Shelter, for they are being given a royal enter tainment by the Knights, They are beig taken to the Carnival and provided with a real good time, not the least features of which are the rides on the Merry- (o-Round and the free {ice cream cones, The Carnival Committee has arranged to have all children ad- mitted free a; 3.30 every afternoon for the balance of the week. Every one, adults as well as children, will, it is whispered, be allowed free entrapce on the afternoon of Sat- urday, the last day, Thursday night is also going "to be a big night, for the Peterboro Lodge are paying the Carnival a visit, Special entertainment is being prepared on that evening to enter- tain them. It is expected that three bus loads will come down from that city. Considerable interest is shown each night in the presenting of the diamond ring to the lucky ticket holder, and last might it went to D. Dowdell, In presenting the ring to him, Mr. Franks laughingly ask- ed him if he was married. "No", he said,- "but I expect to be tomor- tow." The ring is being Dresetiod now on a slightly different sys it was announced last night. The winner's number is now announced three times from the platform at eleven o'clock and if the winner does not make his claim then he for- feits all claim to the ring and an- other number is drawn.
