tt dl. MB lane, lst ls ee pssst A mmm mar SIR EDWARD EDGAR THINKS INTRUDERS WERE AFTER HIS PRIVATE PAPERS Canadian Financier, Whose! Ashburn, Nov. 19.--Mr. George Lynde suffered a big loss on Tuesday night when his barn and contents were completely destroyed by fire. Mr. Lynde lives on the town line, on the farm which belonged to the late Mr. Joseph Parrott, and at the time of the fire he was busy doing chores in the stable when it is supposed his lantern exploded. As there was no insurance on either barn or con- tents his loss is a total one. Miss Mary Kerr entertained a number of her friends on Thursday night when a very happy time was spent, Messrs, Joe "Johnston and Will Brash Masonic brethren of the late Mr. R. H. Walks, B.A, of Toronto, attended his funeral at the Grove Side cemetery, Brooklin, last week. Some of the farmers are honing that the open weather may continue 80 that they may get caught up with some of their fall ploughing. The young people of the commun- ity are taking great interest in the society which they formed in con- nection with the church and which meets every Tuesday night. On Tues- day night a splendid program was given which consisted of the follow- ing: Opening remarks by the Presi- dent, Miss Dorothy Miller; reading of Scripture lesson, Miss Olive Duff; reading, Miss Rthel Stuttaford; in- strumental, Miss Bernice Weery; recitation, Mrs, Wilson; vocal trio, Messrs. Dick Rodd, Kenneth Stutta- ford and John Miller; reading, Miss Mary Kerr; vocal solo, Mr. Walter Kerr, These meetings should prove very beneficial to all those who attend as they give everyone a chance to take part in a public way. A number from here attended the hox encial and concert in Chalk Lake school on Friday night when the young people of Bethesda presented their plav "The Last Loaf." Mrs, Wm, Brash was in Port Perry during the week with her sister, Miss Pearson who has been dangerously in, A goodly number from here are attending the Royal Fair in Toron'n this week. Some are showing stock which will no doubt bring back a share of red ribbons to this section. The ice storm played considerable havoe with the telephone and hydro wires. Limbs of trees: and trees fell on them, disconecting the power for a time, MYRTLE Myrtle, Nov. 19.--Mrs. John Bir- kett, who has heen confined to her bed for the past three weeks, was removed to the Oshawa hospital on Priday to undergo treatment for goitre, Mr. and Mrs. H.

Miss Olive Harrison has returned from Burketon, where she has been visiting her uncle, Mr. Frank Harri- son. Much interest is being taken in the new Splitdorf five-tube radio which is broadcasting from Mr. J. KE. Beacock's store, As a further proof of the fast approach of Christmas, committees have been appointed in the Sunday School Ito make preparations for the Christmas tree, to be held a few nights before Christmas, A very pretty autumn wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Will J. Cook, Myrtle street, on Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock, when their third daughter, Blanch, was united in marriage by Rev, Swayne to Mr. Fred Beadle, of Toronto, son of Mr. and Mrs, Beadle, of Seagrave. The hride, who was un- attended, entered the drawing-room dressed in crepe back satin dress with all-over cream lace, made in period style and wearing metal colored shoes with stocking to match and carrying a bouquet of pink carnations and smilex. - After the ceremony the guests, thirty-five in number, proceeded to the breakfast room, which was prettily decorated with carnations and pink and white streamers: here thev were served to a dainty breakfast de junior, during which toasts were proposed to the hanny couple, the groom resnonding in his genial manner. They then left hy motor for Whithy, where they tnok the train for a short honey- moon to Toronto and other western points.

Those who examined the models expressed themselves as profoundly impressed by the colossal undertak- ing which will mark such a definite change in the city. The project not only affects the Canadian National Railways but will exercise a great influence on street car and automobile traffic in Mont- real. It involves overhead, subways and level construction, and will form the centre for the housing of the many railway employes now scatter- ed in various buildings throughout the city. . According to the models the sta- tion will front on Cathcart street, with additional entrances at the sides and the rear. The actual sta- tion will be underground, in the same way as the Pennsylvania and New York Central depots in New York City. Above this station will tower a huge office building. The station will cover two blocks between Catheart and Lagauchetiere streets and will take in many properties be- tween Mansfield and Ste. Genevieve streets which have been mentioned in the expropriation plans which have been filed by the Minister of Railways on behalf of the Crown for this purpose. The overhead line will run from the station to the harbor. At a point near Commissioners street this line according to present plans will divide into branches. One of these will run into a general western direction reaching the level close to the Lachine Canal at Black's Bridge and continue to Victoria Bridge. A new bridge is to be constructed across the canal. 20.--Pre: There is more of it, but that will suffice.

EART OF MONTREAL 3 - NO CLUE Is FOUND IN JEWEL ROBBERY Brantford, Nov. 21.--No clue has been found to the identity of the raiders who early Saturday morning smashed in the window of the jewelry store of J. H. Young & Com pany, Colborne strect, and secured booty valued at $750. No insurance was carried. : The thieves first tried to get through the plateglass door to turn the lock, but failed, and then smash ed the window. The door had been tested at 4.30 a.m., and was not again visited by the police that morning. The robbery was apparent ly carried out by the same gang who previously in the week cleaned up fur coats at the Canadian De- partment Stores, and they apparent- ly know what jewelry values were for they passed up a cheap necklace and watch. THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1927 PAGE NINE Apartment Was Raided Re- cently, Usually Bolted His Doors Against His '"Ene- (By Associated Press) London, Eng., Nov. 21.--Sir Ed- ward Mackay Edgar, the Canadian financier, whose flat in Mayfair was recently entered by thieves, as re- corded at the time in cable despatch- es, says he believes the intruders were searching for important private papers. "I have little doubt," Sir Edward told a London newspaper re- ported, "that there are many people who would like to get some inside information about manw large tran- sactions I have been carrying out of late, "When I am in the flat and have these big transactions on 1 always holt the door downstairs in case any of my enemies, and I have a good number of them, should send along a thug to attack me. When I am out of the flat, however, I cannot use the bolt." Sir Edward said he did not think the persons who entered his flat went away any the wiser because he always tonk good care not to leave written information about his finan- cial transaction lying where. Jewellery worth between $2,000 and $2,500 had been taken from the flat but it is believed that the rea- son for taking this was to conceal the real object of the raid. Sir Ed- ward's personal papers had been gone through very thoroughly and were left lying about. Sir Edward was the first to dis- cover the burglary. The flat was empty at the time as he had sent his manservant home. He himself was on his way to a party when he looked in at the flat, saw a light flash at the window of the sitting- room and found the front door open. The thieves had broken a nane of glass in the door and turned the latch. He waited at the door to pre- vent the escape of the thieves ghould they come out that way, until the arrival of the police he had summoned. He then went in and found the flat had heen ransacked. The thieves must have spent some time on the premises, for the cup- hoards in Sir Edward's bedroom were in a state of disorder, drawers had been removed and the contents strewn over the floor. Bearer scrip worth thousands of pounds, which had just been sent to the bank, was in a filing cabinet in the lobby. The thieves had removed this, and it was found intact under some papers on the corner of a tahle. Sir Edward about any- 'has been using the flat as an office. London, Nov 20.--"One of the greatest things you can do is to 89 educate and inflnence public opinion that in course of time, save in the most exceptional cases, it will be impossible for any English court to send any man to prison," said Alex- ander Paterson, of the Prison Com- mission of the Home Office, in a re- cent address. "After five years and a half on continuous service for prisons, I would say that, despite all the arrangements made hy the gover- nors and their staffs for separating livers Shrewd Thrusts at Scottish Characters in Gen- eral and Deals With Many sa?

Brown "The Jeweler' Phone 189 are Henry Drummond, Aberdeen," John Keir Hardie, Lord toun, and "Claudius Clear." In view if th present controversy in the Established Church of England over the utterances of Bishop Barnes of Birmingham the description of the scheming which preceded the expul- sion of Robertson Smith from his chair at Aberdeen University, be- cause he doubted the historic auth- enticity of Deuteronomy, makes ex- cellent reading for men of all creeds. "One cannot contemplate the career of Robertson Smith without a mix- ture of feelings in which preverse- ness of his fellow-countrymen which the author 'Smith o' Blackie, Over- e prevented him from achieving more. Out of all life five precious years consumed in fighting the wild beasts of reaction, his too short were stupidity and Expediency." Stuart | There is a brilliant study of Lord Overtoun, paid workmen hour, whom toiled seven days a week andwall of them twelve hours a day. His Lord- ship left £63,000, chiefly to chari- ties. Keir Hardie, the author con- tends, made the one specifically Scottish contribution to British politics, consisting primarily of the destruction of a peculiary English in- stitution--the Liberal party. The author narrates in his own ironic style how Keir Hardie, on the arrival of the Labour Party proper, was slowly but irresistibly shelved. "The initial trouble with Keir Hardie was that he had been brought up in the superstition, still held north of the Tweed, that almost any Sco'sman is superior to any Englishman whatso- ever, in intellect, morals, and spiritu- |atity." who his fourpence an some of ---- | of "Claudius Clear" (8iy William | Robertson Nicoll) the author fur- nishes an ironic-pathetis picture of Nicoll's early days, when his whole being was stunted by his father's overweening passion for book-learn- ing. The son's rapid success in the Church (meanwhile he was coming forward as a writer) was because he could always crowd the pews just as he could always sell an article, "Fond as he was of money--and not even his most devoted friends would denv him that weakness--he would never preach or write anything that he did not after a fashion believe," From the foregoing it will easily be realized that "Brother Scots" is a highly provocative book. One re- viewer here remarks if Mr. Carswell still continues to live in Scotland, or if he goes back there, he will well know how to defend himself, N A (TEESE i dont forget | on-an-co 110070 Gv SOTTO TTI OTST TITIES a GIP TIGIOTIIITAIE IIHT S70 ENABCO MOTOR Of D \ af) Sl RR tl 2d - FOR be LOW AND HIGH COMPRESSION MOTORS.
