WANT EASTERN TERMINAL Bath, one of the oldest places in eastern Ontario, is seeking to interest the Government in that village as the location of the Gr '¢ lakes eastern terminal. This vene.a'i'a syot, which was to have been the c: »* em the bay in the 18th century when U.E.

Young, M.O.H., of Peter- boro yesterday severely criticized the Peterboro city "council for lack of attention to preserving health in the city. Thee police station, he declared, is filthy. e did not suggest that the case of small pox at the county jail originated in the police station, but has taken upon himself the giving of orders to have the place cleaned up. The constables have been vaccinated, as have all inmates of the jail. An- other criticism the M.O.H. made was | of the neglect of the council, over a period of three years, to give him in- formation on the cost of building a sewer in a neglected part of the city. It is, he says, necessary to health, and the present condition is a menace.

Manager FOR MAL SERVICE ACROSS ATLANTIC Famous French Airman Out- lines Far-Seeing Scheme FOUR YEARS' TRIAL Wil Use Multi-motored Planes Carrying Ton of Letters Paris Nov. 10--A definite far- seeing plan for, trans-Atlantic aerial postal and passenger service from Paris to New York was announced vesterdav bv Louis Bleriot, the first , man to fly the English Channel, anl {one of the leading European manu- factnrers of aircraft. Within a year, Bleriot said, he will inaunenrate an experimental | aerial postal service from the French | capital to New York. This trial ser. i vice will continue for three or four years, he said. _ By that time. M. Bleriot believes, technical develroments will permit regular trans-Atlantic passenger ser- ! vice. Pleriot's reputation adds cons'd- erahle weight to a carefullv consid- ered plan which he outlined as fol- lows: "Vath the possibilities and the | difficulties of trans-Atlantic flight ee evident. "The many attempts of the past summer have led to the conclusion that it is a harder problem to fly | west than east. | Weather Diffirulty | "Passage of storms from West to East m~ke it nnseible for an avi- ator to hop off from an area of "nod | weather, and tn vida east without 'quitting that srea: flving west. how- ever, may mean entering in succes- sion a dozen storm areas.

CHARGE AGAINST WOMAN DISMISSED Mrs. Jennie Wilder Was Charged With Vagrancy--De- tails Exaggerated Lack of evidence for the prosecu- tion resulted in the dismissal of the charge of vagrancy against Mrs. Jen- nie Wilder which was heard in Police CoCurt this morning before Magistrate A. F. Hind. Mrs. Wilder appeared on the charge on November 8 and the case had been adjourned at the request of the crown. Five witnesses for the prosecution were heard, but the migis- trate did not consider it necessary to have any evidence entered for the de- fence, and acquitted Mrs. Wilder on the charge. In his address to the court after the witnesses had been heand, Crown At- torney McGibbon declared that when the information was laid against Mrs. Wilder, the circuistancés of the case were much exaggerated, in compari- son with the evidence given 'by the witnesses when under oath. This was another instance of the trouble caused to the crown attorney and the police by people who tell a story that they cannot back up when it comes before a court of law, and which not only cau- ses unnecessary work for the prosecu- tor but takes up the time of the court and police officials, who should be us- ing that time for the apprehension of criminals. He gave the warning that people who go to any of the authori- ties and lay a complaint must be, able to back it up, as there have been sev- eral cases of this kind recently, where a dismissal of the case was the only reasonable action after evidence had been given in court. In dismissing the case Magistrate Hind agreed that the information had been laid hastily and without due consideration. STRONG SUPPORT EXPECTED BY DR.

PREDICTS SETTLERS MARRIAGE BUREAU Sir George MacMunn Illus- trates Need--Plan is Proposed London, Nov. 10.--/--Sir George MacMunn, head of the Church of England Council on Empire Settle- ment, makes the declaration: '"'Soon- er or later the Church will have to establish a matrimonial agency in connection with emigration. When T suggested this to a meeting of bishops they laughed, but I am seri- ous, "What we want is a dignified wo- man to run it as a practical proposi- tion." Sir George illustrated the need by iustancing a letter received from the church committee at Perth, asking help to find a wife for a settler. HOTTEST NOVEMBER DAY IN NEW YORK New York, NY. Nov. 15.--This was the hottest Nov. 15 in New York in 48 years. The thermometer regis- tered 64 degrees at moon, which was hotter than any Nov. 15 since 1879, when the mercury rose to 70. Tre forecast was cooler for tomor- row. DEPLORABLE HAPPENING London, Nov. 15.--Speaking today at the inaugural luncheon of the | Manchester branch of the English- { Speaking Union, Sir Auckland | Geddes called Lord Cecil's resigna- tion after the failure of the Geneva Conference '"a most deplorable hap- pening, because it set back the cause of Anglo-Américan understanding." MONTREAL EXPECTS CIVIC DISCLOSURES Dismissal of Two Officials May Start a City Hall Storm Montreal, Nov. 15.--Montreal perked up tonight at the prospect of the lid coming off the City Hall again. This afternoon .the executive com- mittee dismissed James Mclsaac, in- spector of the fire prevention division of the Fire Department, and Captain T. O. Bellefleur, of the Police Depart- ment, on the ground that their appli- cation of by-laws to theatres and mov- ing picture houses had been poor. Mc- Isaac's functions, the executive added, moreover have now been transferred to another department. "There will be court action," said | Mclsaac tonight and friends declared | he would "tell all he knows." There- in lies Montreal's anticipation of a spicy trial, just as civic elections are in the offing and the aldermen are on their toes. Both Mclsaac and Bellefleur were closely connected with the Laurier Palace disaster on January 9, when 78 children stampered and lost their lives Mclsaac was responsible for inspection of the theatre, Bellefleur for police su- pervision of the house, which is lo- cated in hte ward represented by one member of the executive committee, Ald. Des-Roches, The executive does not admit the' dismissals are linked with that tragedy. But it was learned tonight that the affair was in the limelight behind clos- ed doors this afternoon, that there was a row between the five aldermen on the executive, and that when the vote was called one man refused to ballot and another was against the dismissals. Thus the vote carried three to one. Revival of Rumors Today's incident has revived all the rumors and mutterings that floated im- mediately after the 78 children had died. Was it true that certain theatres had been more or less protected by aldermen in return for election favors? Was it true that City Hall officials were rapped by certain aldermen for reporting some by-law transgressions? Was it true that the by-laws were for the few and that paid employes were hobbled in applying them. These were rounds, and these are in evidence again tonight. Mclsaac and Bellefleur were both witnesses in probes that followed tae tragedy. Mclsaac astounded the Fire C issioner by telling 'him that he had only 21 men to do fire prevention inspections in apartment and . office buildings, theatres, movies, churches, factories and all buildings in Montreal except private residences. Thus, he was only able to allot two men to the theatres and movies, and they "Ne each one about twice a month. Twge a week was proper - inspection, We thought, adding that he had asked for more staff and his recommendations had gone into the routine of the "municipal hierarchy." A No aldermen, he swore, had interefered with him, but he declared that some onc had branded his department as of little value, "not the devil," to put .it into colloquial French, As for Beillefleur, the manager of the theatre said he had given the cap- tain a pass to the Laurier Palace for his family. But he swore that this was not for services rendered. / Investigations have come and gone, but something like today's dismissals were needed to fan the flames of sus- picion among many of the people. And now they are repeating the report that Mclsaac will "tell all." VOTE OF CONFIDENCE IN POINCARE CABINET Paris, Nov. 15--Premier Poincare twice this morning asked for and obtained from the Chamber of Dep- uties a solid vote oi confidence on his policy of fiscal economy. On both 'occasions the Governmental support was 330 votes against a maximum of 199. The Socialists first tried to ap- peal to the war veterans in the com- ing elections by proposing to in- crease by more than 500,000 francs a certain class of pensions for which the Premier has proposed an amount which the Socialists called contempt- ible. At once the Premier rapped back: "It is Always the Same" 'What you propose would cost 50,000,000 francs. Last year noth- ing was said about increases, and now when the Government itself proposes an increase of half a mil- lion you immediately demand more. "It is always the same with you. The Government and the Finance Commission have done all they pos- sibly could while safeguarding the Budget We are protecting not only the interests of the State, but also those of the very people you are pleading for, who would be ruined if the franc took another downward some of the questions that went the plunge." | ~ - Special News for the Week-end Shopper New Shipments Are : 0) Arriving did gift.
