Harris entertained the students of the i School in the Wi y evening, February Eyeryone present had 2 splendid time, social evening was Ottaws, Feb, 22.--At a caucus of Government supporters this morn- ing, E. W. Tobin, who had been elected Director of Military Avia- announced some time ago, ~7ho resigned from the service three weeks ago. At its first session, the commit- tee took up the Juestion of how many ships will be included. In- dications are it will scrap the President's program. The "mod- erate navy" group in the commit- tee appears to have a good chance of getting a program adopted pro- viding for a three-year program of 15 cruisers, possibly with an au- thorization for the others, but with no other ships. The President's program pro- vided 25 cruisers, 32 submrarines, five aircraft carriers and nine de- stroyer leaders. Moderate Program Since the President's own indl- rect message to the committee that he would be content with 25 eruis- ers if the others could not be ap- proved, and the public protest against the large expenditures pro- posed, there is no doubt but that the program will be a moderate one. Committee members lonk forward hopefully, too, to the 1931 naval limitation conference and are not inclined to start con- struction of ships which might have to be scranped, as was done after the Washington conference of 1922, MOTION IS CARRIED TO AID COMMISSION Delhi, India, Feb. 22.---The counell of state of the Indian leg- islature today adopted hy a vote of 34 to 18, a motion of Sir Man- ockji Dadabhoy to appoint a com- mittee to work in conjunction with the British statutory commission for Indian reforms, headed by Sir John Simon. THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1928 SENTENCE FOR GERMAN YOUTH Three Weeks' Imprisonment for Boy Involved in Murder ---- Berlin, Feb, 23.--~The senmsa- tional trial of 18-year-old Paul Krantz for instigating a murder and suicide, which has been oc- cupying the minds of the people of Berlin a great deal more than the pending cabinet crisis, ended with a sentence so wild as to amount to acquittal. Krantz, the prosecu- tion held, entered into a pact with the brother of a former sweetheart to kill the girl who had jilted him, and his rival. The brother killed the other boy, tried unsuccessfully to slay his sister and then killed himself. Krantz's nerve failed him, however, and he did not com- mit suicide. While the original charge against Krantz for instigating the murder was dropped, the public prosecutor moved for a 13-months' imprisonment because of joint menslaughter, and carrying arms without a permit. The court, how- ever, pronouncing the youthful de- fendant not guilty of the former charge, sentenced him to three weeks on the latter. Even this 'slight punishment was only for- mal because he had served more than that time while awaiting trial. SMOKING IS BAR T0 EVANGFLIST English Woman in Chicago Says Britons Not Un. derstood Chicago, Feb, 23.--Americans and Englishmen may get on each other's nerves, hut it does not mean anything, according to Miss Maud Royden, English evangelist. Miss Royden, who has en- countered difficulty in heing al. lowed to speak in several cities be- cause she admitted she smoked, ad- dressed a meeting on "Old Truths la, directors last night six new and the Younger Generation." The address was sponsored by the Y. W.C.A., but met with the opposi- tion of the Women's Home Mis- sionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. "It is regrettable, but true," Miss Royen sald, "that it is eas- fer for an American to under- stand a Scot or an Irishman than to understand an Englishman.' "But we can be friends. 'uv differences are temperamental rather than fundamental." OFFSIDE DECISION ROBS CHICAGO BLACK clubs were admitted into mem- bership, the newcomers being C. P, R., Crusaders, 2nd Field En Maple Leafs, Summit Dye Works (and West End United. In reply to a letter from Mr. W, Scarborough it was decided to do- nate $20 towards the purchase of medals for the winners of the Bast End Midget League. The two sections of the Midget League will be asked to draw up a set ofrules and to submit them to the T. and D.F.A. for approval, and if they are satisfactory the senior association will provide a trophy and medals. HAWKS OF DRAW Chicago, Feb. 22.--A peculiar off- side decision in the third period by Referee Hewitson deprived the Chi- cago Black Howks of a goal that! would have tied the score in the Na- tional Hockey League game with the Ottawa Senators here tonight, and Ottawa skated off the ice owning a 3-to-2 victory after three periods of gruelling hockey, The crowd of 6,000 voiced violent disapproval of the official's ruling. The victory enabled Ottawa to climb into second place in the internation- al division of the league. The shut-out record of Goalie Con- nell, who has held the opposition scoreless for seven straight games, was broken by Duke Keats, who tal- lied both of Chicago's goals. Keats | also banged in the goal that was rul- ed out, SIX NEW CLUBS ADMITTED TO SENIOR ASSOCIATION Toronto, Feb, 28.--At the meet- ing of the Toronto and District F, When You Catch Cold Rub tn Musterole works by many throat, oc on he Sadi ism, lumbago, pleurisy, stiff neck. brons sorems Eros ean feet~--colds of all sorts, The Musterole Ce. of Canada, Ltd.
