PAGE SIX THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1928 RELEASE LIOR "BORDER EXPORT TRADE RESUMES Two Warehouses at Wind- sor Almost Cleared Out-- More Summonses Windsor, Aug. 14.--Released by order of the Ontario Liquor Con- trol Board after a bond for $700,- 000 had been deposited with the board of the huge stocks of liquor and beer of the Inter-Transit and Nathanson Companies which were seized more than a month ago by Provincial authorities, tonight had almost been cleared from the two warehouses on the Windsor river- front. Shortly after 9 o'clock this morn- ing, when clearance papers were available, the first boat, two loads of mixed cargo of beer and assort- ed liquors, pulled out from the docks of the companies, Where they were bound for employees of the docks declined to state. They said "Mexico" in a jocular man- ner. The legal advisers of the compa- nies would never have deposited a bond for such a large amount as $700,000, said local barristers whe PHONE 22 For Your Drug Needs THOMPSON'S 10 Simcoe St. 8.--We Deliver are mot interested in the case, un- less they were reasonably certain that conviction will not be register ed against their clients on charges that are to be heard before Magis- trate D. M. Brodie at Windsor, Thursday, Would Mean Confiscation Magistrate Brodie agreed with opinions offered by several barris- ters, that convictions in the cases involving the Inter-Transit and Na- thanson Companies would mean confiscation of the liquor seized. "Automatic confiscation of the liquor would foliow convictions," Magistrate Brodie said. "If the liquor is not available, then the bond will be at stake, and will be turned over to the Government. Perhaps that is the arrangement." Although several Provincial con stables assigned to serving sub- poenas on the exporfers whose docks were raided last Friday have been trying to make service on some of the accused, Inspector Ar- thur Moss said tonight there are still at least a dozen summonses that have not been served. This situation, however, the Inspector explained, will not hold up hearing of a majority of the cases, which are scheduled to be heard Thurs- day and Monday of next week. Adjournments Expected Government officials, it is said, have been negotiating with counsel for the exporters with a view to having all the cases heard at Wind- sor. Magistrate Brodie said he had been informed that such an ar- rangement was likely to be made. There is no chance of the cases being proceeded with on Thursday and Monday, W, H. Furlong, coun- sel for 10 of the accused exporters, sald today. Mr. Furlong said he expected the special prosecutor to hold a conference with the export- ers' counsel, and arrive at proce- CEB Beinn NN. BF BR BB J. r "s Book Oshawa Newsdealers.

"There fs so much involved in these cases that the Government, I am sure, will not attempt to force on the trials without giving the accused reasonable time to prepare." Asked what would be the atti. tude of the exporters in the event of convictions, Mr. Furlong de- clared with emphasis that appeals would be taken if necessary to the highest tribunal in the British Em- pire--the Privy Council. David A. Croll, who will represent three ex- porters at the trials, offered simi- lar opinion as Mr. Furlong. "The Police Court decision, whichever way it goes, will not set- tle the question involved in these cases," Mr, Croll said. " "It is a question of law, as I see it, and only a ruling from a higher court will settle the issue once and for all. We believe the Government of Ontario has mo right to interfere with what we contend is a legiti- mate method of exporting liquor. Sir Henry Drayton is of a different opinion, and the courts must settle between us" FIRE BUG BLAMED FOR SEVEN SERIOUS BLAZES IN GUELPH Theatre, Factories and Two Churches Believed Fired By Maniac Guelph, Aug, 14.--A fire bug is hard at work in Guelph, With five fires definitely of an incen- diary origin and two more he- dieved to have been caused by the same person, the whole city is seriously alarmed. Today, Cap- tain Sutton, acting chief in the absence of Chief Robert Knighton, asked Provincial Fire Marshal Heaton for assistance in combat- ing the menace, : Factories. churches, a theatre, and homes have been menaced by the work of a maniac so clever that not a clue to his identity has been left at the scenes of his re- peated operations. Firemen believe that the fires in the Church of Our Lady and Knox Church, when both edifices were threatened, are the work of the same hand. In no case has the loss been ser- ious, but only prompt action of the brigade has prevented a series of conflagrations in Guelph in the last two weeks. ? Fire in Apartment House The latest "job' occurred at a late hour last night, when the de- partment, called to the apartment of Max Nicol, Quebec street, found a blaze on a rear verandah had been caused by the lighting of a quantity of rags, paper and chip- ped wood, which had been placed immediately beneath a window, Similar inflammable material had been found two nights previously tucked in a wall at the old Regent Theatre, on Macdonnell street, street, where the brigade had ar- | rived in the nick of time, while | there was evidence of a like na- | ture the same night when a shed 'at the rear of the Commercial Motor Bodies on Woolwich street was burned to the ground. The other two outbreaks where absolute traces of the "fire bug's" work were discovered were on two alarms gent in from the Regent Textile plant, Farquhar * street. Fortunately in both instances the firemen were on the job in time to subdue the flames before they had taken much of a hold on the large factory building, Police have made every effort to find some trace of the person responsible for the dangerous practice ever since the first suspi- cions of the firemen were arous- ed, but so far have not unearthed the least semblance of a clue. At first they were inclined to believe that it was the work of a gang of youths who had a mania for seeing the firemen on the run, but they are now convinced that it is some one of more mature years ¢ Manufacturers and large prop- erty owners are greatly disturbed over the continued string of fires, and on the advice of fire depart- ment officias have engaged spec- fal night watchmen to guard their premises until such time as the present scare is over. The only, place where the loss was very heavy was at the Church of Our Lady, where It ran Into thousands of dollars but in other cases it was only the prompt ac- tion of brigade that kept the damage down. 44,000 HARVESTERS WANTED $15.00 TO WINNIPEG PLUS TAX Plus half a cent toba, Saskatchewan, Calgary, MacLeod and East.

PRINCE RETURNS FROM TIGER HUNT Came Back Without Tiger Which Was His Only Desire Vancouver, B.C., Aug. 15.-- Prince Yokimura, of Japan, arriv- ed in Vancouver recently, accom- panied by two wives bound for Toronto. The prince, an exclusive indivi- dual, occupied a special compart- ment or suite of his own, and his better halves were allotted a com- partment together on the lower degks of a trans-Pacific liner. It is not unusual to hear of queens parading in full dress, with page boys carrying a gorgeous train, but it is something out of the ordinary for kings or princes to be so attended. And yet every day of the voyage across the Pa- cific, Prince Yokimura took his constitutional, attired in silver and grey, with a twelve-foot train care- fully carried hy Chinese boys. The prince happens to be a roos- ter, insured to a value of $700. His wives are just grey and silver laced hens of the same rare Far Eastern breed. The prince, with spurs an inch long," is the proud possessor of a twelve-foot tafl. When the prince is resting his lengthy tail feathers are carefully curled round and round and held in a sack. SIR. TREVELYAN CRITICALLY ILL Has Gained Fame in Both Literature and Politics Cambo, Northumberland, Eng- land, Aug, 15.--Sir George Trevel- yan, who is in his 91st year, 1» critically ill at his home here. Sir George Trevelyan, who gain- ed fame in both literature and poli- tics, retired from public life in 1897 to his estate of 14,000 acres which he varied by touring in It- aly, He had served at different times as Chief Secretary for Ire- land, Secretary for Scotland, Civil Lord and Secretary of the Admir- alty, and as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. His first wife was a sister of the historian Lord Macaulay, and among his writings were "The jLife and Letters of Lord Macaulay" and "Selections from the Writings of Lord Macaulay." He wrote a four-volume work on the Ameri- can Revolution as well as other historical accounts. A ---------- SEARCHERS FOR TAYLOR FIND NOTE, IS REPORT The Pas, Man., Aug. 14.-- Searchers for Andrew Taylor, prospector, lost in the north coun- try, have found a note from the missing man, according to air mail advices from Cold Lake, Man. The searchers are tracking him by notes and signs which are discern- ible by expert woodsmen and feel conydent they will find him. The Puckatawam Indians say that Taylor built a rude cabin in the Burntwood Lake district and lived there for some time on pota- toes dug from a patch planted by Indian trappers, and he also kill- ed some partridges. ; - COLORFUL CAREER Lived For Half a Century on the Rugged West Coast Cortez Island, B.C., Aug. 15.-- Captain Michael Manson, familiar- ly known as "Mike" Manson, rec- ently elected to his fourth term as a member of the British Columbia Legislature, boasts one of the most colorful careers of any Canadian in public lite, For half a century he has lived on the rugged west coast of the province in a section far removed from civilization and which for many years was inhabit- ed by more Indians than whites: He recalls the tragic year of the diphtheria epidemic which ravag- ed the Indian villages along the west coast and killed hundreds. Three of his own children perish- ed then. Another vivid memory is of his cruise in his whaling craft to the Bering Sea, the storm off the Columbia River when his dory capsized and he gave his place on the upturned hull to a companion less able to swim in the icy waters. The incident of his career that affords him most amusement was that in which he narrowly escaped death at the hands of liquor-craz- ed Indians. It was then that a fire insurance policy saved his life, for he told the Indians that the policy was a letter from Queen Victoria and that he was one of her honored friends. He told the natives that the let- ter was a guarantee of safety; that if any injury was done to him Queen Victoria would send her gun boats and her soldiers with "knives on the end of their muskets" to inflict punishment. This had its effect and his life was spared. The incident took place in the days be- fore there was a Vancouver, and ly known as "Gastown." A pot- lach was in preparation at Cape Mudge and Mr. Manson had made delivery of merchandise to the chief. In order to add spirit to the occasion a canoe had been dis- patched to Gastown for liquor. On the way home the cargo was broached and the members of the crew quarrelled, one being slain, Mr. Manson was a justice of the peace and a section of the Indians demanded that he order the hang- ing of one of the canoe men, whom they alleged had struck the dead man over the head with a paddle. Another section of the tribe pro- tested the innocence of the accus- ed, and it was in the midst of this turmoil that both sides favored, as a way out of the difficutly, the kill- ing of the white man. He luckily thought of the fire insurance policy he had in his pocket and which was liberally pasted over with of- ficial looking seals. It succeeded in convincing the natives that he was a man of more than ordinary importance and a "Klosche tilli- cum" of Queen Victoria, CANADIAN FORESTRY ASSOC"N PLANNING AGGRESSIVE DRIVE Vancouver, B.C.,, Aug. 15.--The Canadian Forestry Association fis planning its most aggressive cam- paign so far undertaken to stamp out the forest fire menace in Brit- ish Columbia. The campaign will be carried on mainly through the channels of publicity and an at- tempt will be made to reach even the most remote sections of the province with a view to spreading the doctrine of timber conserva- tion. Charles Wilkenson, the association in bia, is leaving soon on a nine-! thousand mile tour of the province and will travel in a specially equip- ped automobile carrying motion picture projection machines and camera, At every community where there is a hall or suitable inclosure for the projection of motion pictures the car will be stopped and an 11- lustrated lecture on the subject of saving the forests given. The exe- cutive of the association contends that this campaign which has been carried on in past years in a more moderate way, has been the cause of building up a strong publie sentiment in favor of timber pro- tection, and that as a cumulative result hundreds of thousands dol- lars worth of timber will be saved annually. g ra ] manager of MARCONI SHOP The Best in Radios Kingston Rd.
