He was dressing to play Santa Claus at the House of Providence Christ- mas tree when he slipped and fell, fracturing an arm, To a younger man the injury would not hava been serious, but by reason of his age, Mr. O'Connor failed to rally from the effects of the shaking up. No doubt his longevity can b2 ascribed, in part at least, to his light-heartedness and his joy in living, He was not one to be weigh- ed down by years, and he had reached the age of 104 befre he quit the vegetable route on which he had worked so long throughout the east end, At the House of Providence, it did not regire any coaxing to get him to step off an Irish jig or reel, His merriment was a constant pleasure to fellow- inmates, attendants and visitors, He was born in County Clare, Ireland, and last June 4 was his 105th birthday. He did not come to Canada until he was. middle- aged, but that was 60 years ago.'

He denied reports that the parishioners had been excommunicated, His visit, he believed, had "set i nmotion ma- chinery which would bring about a favorable change in the atmosphere | of the Providence diocese." "We believe," he said, "that we have brought about a better under- standing of the problems existing between the Freneh-Canadian- Americans and the bishop of Provi- dence, I went to Rome to explain matters and after conferring with the Vatican representatives, I am optimistic that the 80 members I represent will not be excommuni- cated despite reports that they have already heen excommunicated.

Another important matter for the Chamber of Coinmerce when or- ganized is harbor development, A resolution urging attention by the Federal Government was passed hy the 1927 Council at its final De- cemher meeting, Members of the General Committee have already expressed the opinion that a con- certed drive should be made to have the harbor completed this year, TY COBB DETERMINED NOT TO PLAY AGAIN LEST [CHAMBER OF COMMERCE COMMITTEE IS ACTIVE 3 tion of a Chamber of Commerce Work is already accumulating Washington, Jan, 7.--It wilt! take an "unusual offer" to lure 'Iy.| Cobb back into a player's uniform, | Here to adjust some personal in-| come tax returns, the *"Georgia| Peach" reminisced freely on his 23 years of big league baseball, and indicated clearly that it would | take a big bankroll to make him change his mind about playing again, "I have been in harness long enough," he said, "I have worked hard and I am ready to quit base- ball activity.

Jones Jr, by his friends in Atlanta, and has fully in- vestigated the facts. The Executive Committee has decided that the ac- ceptance of the gift by him is not in violation of the association's rules governing amateur status." Coincident with the golf body's de- cision, Jones issued the following statement : "The actio nof the United States Golf Association approving the gift to me of a home by my friends in Atlanta has been brought to my at- tention.eThis action confirms my un- derstanding of the amateur rule. "At the time the gift was tendered and accepted I had no 'thought that it was not entirely proper. I have since had opportunity to consider the matter more carefully and have reached the conclusion that the ia- terests of our great game will be best served if 1 do mot retain the home. "Il am taking this action with due appreciation and gratitude to my friend for their generous expression."

The Minister's statement follows: "It has come to the notice of my Department that motor truck deat- ers and owners are apparently not familiar with the provision of the Highway Traffic Act relative.to the operation of heavy trucks.

Cutler. The number of books issued was 72037, including 51,124 fiction books. A considerable increase was shown in the issuing of non-fiction works, including a rather remarkable number of 380 on phil- osophy and psychology. While the total circulation of hooks was slightly under last year this de- crease is due to a lessening in the number of juvenile books issued dur- ing the early summer. Interest mn the juvenile section is increasing however, and was normal again be- fore the end of the year. The de- crease in interest in the juvenile sec- tion is explained by the fact that in "1926 a considerable outlay was made in alterations, and it was imn- possible to add sufficient new books to this section of the library. The increase in the circulation of non-fiction books was a icature oi the library's year. 12037 books in the literature classification, which includes poetry, drama and essays, were issued, illustrating the interest in non-ficticn as a whole. 38) books of philosophy and psych logy were taken out by members, in comparison with 241 in the previous vear. An increase in the issué of fiction books was also noticed, The total circulation in the adult section of the library wos 36,843 and in the juvenile section wes 13,189 books, Miss H, Har:, has returned from attending the librarians' course in Toronto and is actipg in ler ca- pacity as children's librarian, suc- ceeding well in making this division of the library interei:iug for the lit- tle folk.

The toll included four children who weer trapped while asleep in the basement kitchen of a house on Grosvenor Road. Three women were drowned in basements in Hammersmith and Putney districts. Thomas Hagginson, night watch- man at the Tate Gallery, was an- other victim. Underground rail- ways and power houses were flood- ed and only a restricted train ser- vice was possible, which delayed London's settling down to work to- day. The Port of London authority fs- sued a warning this afternoon that a repetition of today's devastating Thames flood is possible during the next few days. Tides will be of increasing height until Tuesday and as the storms are forecast and flood conditions from Christmas snows prevail in the Thames Valley the danger to Lon- don continues. Danger was past for today when the ebb tide began at 1.35 p.m. The river was a foot above normal. The next high tides is at 2.18 o'clock to- morrow morning. Thrilling and tragic stories of narrow escapes were received from all districts running from the Thames estuary to Teddyington where Thames lock system begins. Basements and ground floors in thousands of houses were flooded by sudden rush of waters which spent over the Thames banks. Most pathetic story was the drowning of four sisters named Harding. They were daughters of workmen whose eight children were trapped by the rush of water. Harding heroically saved four of his children, but others were drowned before he could reach them. Maddened with grief and temporarily out hof is mind, he watched police and fire- men take bodies to the mortuary, Wife: gave you?
