aS aE a PAGE TWELVE Many People May be Implicated in London Railway Investigation Charges Preferred Against U. S. Customs Officers and Employees of Four Lines -- Affidavits Ave Produced London, Omt., April 11.--A new turn was given the attack eof Mayor G. A. Wenige on the management of the London & Port Stanley Ralil- way today when it was rumored in railway and police circles that an investigation of the hauling of li- quor by the L. & P. S. R., which is owned by the City of London, will most certainly result in the prosecution of a number of em- ployees of the C.N.R., Wabash and M.C.R., if affidavits and informa- tion handed by the Mayor to Crown Attorney A. M. Judd are found to contain sufficient evidence to war- rant action being taken against L. & P. S. R. employees. Alleged Confessions At Monday's meeting of the L. & P, 8, Commission, Mayor Wengie produced a number of affidavits and letters from former employees of the railway, declaring they had handled illegally cars that had been "spotted" at St. Thomas for the purpose of being loaded with liguor by employees of the hig trunk lines. These affidavits and papers are now in the hands of the Crown Attorney and it is alleged they are PUBLIC Announcement M, SHULKA Opens new and up-to-date GROCERY STORE 80 FISHER STREET The stock will consist of a complete line of Fresh Gro- ceries, Meats, Vegetables, ete, Store Opens Today, Thursday, April 12 confessions of wrongdoing for which moneys were received by the parties involved. Tampering with Customs and car seals, falsifying of invoices and way bills and the like are said to be contained in the admissions made to the Mayor and which he in turn has placed in the hands of the Crown Attor- ney. Customs May be Involved United States Customs officers west of Detroit and Port Huron may also be involved in the investi- gation and prosecutions. Hon. E. S. Little, Chairman of the L. & P. S. Commission, has announced that the members of the Commission will most certainly ask that all persons involved, whether employed by the L. & P. 8S, R, or any other railway, as well as all Government officers affected, be prosecuted if the Mayor's charges are found true. Crown Attorney Judd stated that the Mayor had handed him the list of documents while he was in his office in the Police Court this morning, but that his Worship had not asked him to have any informa- tions laid against allegedly guilty parties. Mr. Judd added that when he has gone over the documents, if there is sufficient evidence in them he will ask the Provincial Police to detail men to secure fur- ther material needed for the prose- cution, From Chicago to New York According to the statements se- cured by the Mayor, the opera- tions concerning the handling of liquor shipments for illegal entry to the United States extended from Chicago, through Ontario, to New York. The first offenses, it is al- leged, were committed by railway- men and others in Illinois and Michigan false bills of lading hav- ing been issued for empty cars. These empty cars were then seal- ed with United States Customs seals and later hauled into Can- ada, where at such places as St. Thomas, they conveniently devel- oped hot boxes and were placed on sidings next to L. & P, 8S. R, lines, Next, they were picked up, if the charges be true, hy L. & I'. 8. R. employees, and were tak- en to places where cars of heer and whiskey had heen "spotted" and there the cargoes were switched. The United States Customs seals had to he detached and later re- placed on the cars that had come empty from the United States. Then the cars were taken hack to the Wabash, C. N. R. or M. C. R. sidings and crews from these lines picked them up and saw they en- tered the United States, Comments Vary Mayor Wengie stated today that, with the alleged evidence in the THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1928 hands of the Crown Attormey, he had washed his hands of the whole affair, Chairman Little and Com- missioner Moore, and, however, in- sisting on a complete investigation, as being in the best interests of the city's railway, Alderman Frank Kay, Chairman of the Finance Committee of the City Council, de- clared that the matter should mot ba allowed to rest until every charge was cleared up, and that the County Judge should hold am investigation. Alderman Paul Doig said "the charges do mot amount to a hill of beans" unless officials of the L. & P. S. R. are involved. Mayor Wengie today denied that 'he was out to "get" Manager Rich- ards of the IL. & P. S. R., right or wrong. But, he claimed, that he had frequently tried to get infor- mation concerning the railway, and had met refusal. He added that he believed there was ample reas- on for the suspension of the Man- ager until an investigation was un- dertaken.

At least, that is what, according to the old song, the pretty maid who was going a-milking replied to the inquisitive gallant. As her good looks were all she could offer him, he declared that he could not mar- ry her and so it is to be presumed that she did mot rise in the social scale. The question as to whether beau- ty is necessary for the achievement of social success has become the subject of keen debate and cou- flicting views as the result of a legal fight between two face spe- cialists, For d@dvertising purposes. one of them claimed copyright in the phrase, "Youthful appearance is a social necessity, not a luxury," ahd he sought an injunction to prevent his rival using that or any similar expression. 3 Defendant, for instance, had used the phrase, "Beauty is the best letter of introduction," and it was ascribed to Diogenes. Neither judge nor counsel could confirm this assertion that the phil- osopher who lived in a tub was the author of the line; but there is an old German proverb which reads: "Beauty is a good letter of introduction." What really started the discus- sion outside the law courts was the declaration of Mr. Justice Hum- phreys, in summing up the evi- dence, that "a great many women who are not beautiful have become celebrated." He added hastily those who ave dead." The views of many people have been solicited on the subject, which has been expanded to include a discussion of the value of beauty as an aid to feminine success not success, and that brains and charm are of much more worth. ciety, says: 'There are wonici London who are almost hideon "Of course, T am only speaking of | only in society, but also in busi- ness and the professions generally. |, Although opinions differ, the ver- dict appears to be that while good | looks are an asset in all walks of life they are not indispensable to The Marchioness of Queensherry, one of the younger leaders of so- and yet have thé most amazing suc- cess-- have scores of friends, and enjoy life immensely, An ugly wo- man, as a rule, is more intelligent than a lovely one.
