M. je today during the trial of the Inter Transit Corporation, Limited, of t A yaich Soman te Sand on © \ figures brought out in the examina- tion of George A, Scott, auditor for the corporation, Gordon N. Shaver, KC, showed that the approximate monthly business of the Inter Tran. sit Company and its allied concerns is around the $750,000 mark, This and the fact that Detroit li- distributors and "ballyhoo men" the Inter Transit and other com- 8 in the liquor business are own by numbers, were the high- lights of the hearing, which is ex- oy to continue until Monday t, Says Promotion Cost Much The Border Agency and the T, Sweet Company, which concerns Mr, Shaver attempted to show are inter- locked in much the same manner as the Erie Transit and other compan. ies are supposed to be, have distri- buted huge sums for sales promotion Morning Pep Walk To your office in the moming full of pep and fit for the day's work, A Dash of REGESAN FRUIT SALINE Upon arising will keep you cool and refreshed all day, $1.00 A BOTTLE For Sale Only at The Rexall Store JURY and LOVELL Simcoe 8, E.

Delving into the books and state- ments the three concerns, Crown counsel tried to show business rela- tions between the Nathanson con- cerns and operators of other docks. Mr, Scott admitted that at the end of June the Nathanson interests had approximately $32,000 owing them by various dock operators, Two Monthe' Sales $430.00 As an indication of the turn- over of the Border Agency, the bu- siness of which, Mr, Shaver submit- ted, is carried on in the offices and warehouse of the Inter Transit, it was shown that the liquor sales for the months of May and June am- ounted to more than while the T, Sweet Company disposed of liquor to the value of $249.777 in June, Government officials stated that the business of the Inter Tran- sit is equally large. "Incidental char- fu against the Border Agency and the Sweet Company in two months amounted to over $11,000 while the hgurs paid for sales promotions to- led more than $5,000 in June, John H, Rodd, KC, o | defense counsel, made a determined effort this afterneon, when, hearin of the case was resumed after lunc adjournment, to have ruled out all the Crown's evidence, He argued that neither the accused company nor any of its officials could be compelled to give evidence that might result in a prosecution, Def 1 also contended that the books of the com- pany ought to be excluded, in that they were seized under a warrant Sharging an offense against the Crim- inal y "It is a clear point of law," Mr, Rodd urged, "that the accused can- not be called by the prosecution to convict himself, I therefore contend also that the books of the Inter. Transit Company cannot be put in," Power of Investigation Mr, Rodd went on to assert that the Liquor Control Act does not give wer to investigate and seize books, ut only to introduce them as evi» dence against the accused, "1 contend it is against the prin. ciple of common law to compel a corporation to testify for the prose. cution," Mr, Rodd declared, in cons cluding his submission, "I say it with due respect to de- fense counsel" Mr, Shaver said, in reply, "but it does seem to me that Mr, Rodd has become confused, In my opinion there is no merit in the argument, We know we cannot com- pel accused to testify, but this does not apply to corporations." Magistrate Brodie briefly ruled that the books of the company could be admitted as evidence, and that em- ployees of the accused company could e called to testify, Customs officers will be summoned, Mr, Rodd promised, to explain me- thods of issuing and handling B-13's, which Mr, Shaver mentioned while Inspector Moss was on the stand, "I believe that B-13's were disre- garded more than anything commented Mr, Shaver, In s Evidence Inspector Moss, who was the first witness called in cross-examination by Mr, Rodd, said he had seen from time to time something that looked like export business going on at the docks of the Inter Transit Company, "Did you ever see trucks loaded with liquor leaving the shelter or warehouse of the accused company?" asked Mr, Rodd "I can't say I have," the witness re- plied, The Inspector also said he had else," Windsor, | THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1928 PAGE SEVEN Bits EAE never had occasion to seize liquor at the premises of the accused, Inspector Moss was going on to explain the quantity and different brands of liquor in the warehouse of ti.e In'er Transit, in reply to a question put by Mr, Shaver, wher' he was. halted by the Magistrate, on the objection of Mr, Rodd, The Inspec- tor said there were 82 different brands, including 400 cases of Quebec Liquor Commission wines and whis- keys, Previous to this statement be- ing made Mr, Shaver had shown that the Inter Transit concern had been doing a big business in Quebec Com- mission liquors, Auditors Scott came into court minus statements of the accused com- pany, and he was allowed ten minu- tes in which to secure them from his offices. The Court was informed by the auditor that the Border Agency was capitalized at $200,000 and the T, Sweet Company at $100,000. ST, LAWRENCE WATERWAY (Sherbrooke Tribune, Lib.) It is often said that the St. Law- rence Canal is an impossibility, a dream. This is a mistake, It is neither impossible nor a dream. This colossal task is possible, though to carry it out a great deal of time and money would be needed. But, even though no dream nor an impossibil- ity, it is, for the present at least, an enterprise which does not appear to offer any profit, to Canada, from whatever point of view it is re- garded, aaa R-O-G-E-R-S Batteryless Radios They Are Here! 1929 MODELS rnd ? | See and hear them and register your coupon on the 1929 mode to be given absolutely FREE Generator & Starter Company, Limited 15 Church Street Open Evenings { | | EFFORT WADE TO GETHANX QUOTA | Controversy Marks Sessions of Convention at Cleveland Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 25.--Unex- pected controversy over whether a special immigration quota for the Isle of Man should be sought was before the first international Manx conven- tion for action Wednesday, The nearly 1,000 descendants of in- habitants of the tiny island in the Irish Sea was startled when Daniel Tearle, Los Angeles, declared the campaign for a separate quota was a poor idea, Tearle said that statis- tics showed that the birth rate on the island slightly exceeds deaths. "This shows a lot of outsiders are coming in and making a living there," he said. ! "There is plenty of room in the ®le of Man for the Manxmen, Be- sides this the Manx group is too small to receive special consideration at Washington," he said. A. B, Crookall and Richard Cain, members of the House of eys, Isle of Man, never. theless, went ahead with their plans to get the convention to pass a reso- lution requesting the separate quota For this purpose a committee of 6 Americans and three Canadians was formed under the leadership of John Chrystian, Cleveland, to organize a North American Manx Society, FRIED POTATOES FOR YOUNG BABY London. --A fried egg for breakfast, two fried eggs for dinner, and ice- cream cornet for tea, fried potatoes for supper, This was the dietary given to a 21 months old baby, Ivy Lillian Boxall, of Bermondsey, on whom an inquest was held by S.E. London Coroner, Mr, W, H,* Whitehouse, at Green- wich, The mother said she gave the child the ice-cream because its five-year. old sister was having some, and she cried for it, The Coroner; You know it is a most horrible confession to make here to say you gave your child these things, Thousands and thousands of pounds are spent in the borough each year to train people how to bring up their children, and yet you do this sort of thing. Didn't you expect something to happen after giving the baby ice-cream? The mother: I did not think any- thing would happen, It was stated that the other child was taken ill after eating the ice- cream and was under medical care. Dr, Arthur Davies, pathologist, of Harley street, said the diet was most improper, and as the result showed, dangerous, He had no doubt that the food given was responsible for the conditions disclosed by the post- mortem, He added that it was well known that ice-cream contained a large nun» ber of micro-organisms and at this time of year these organisms fre» quently became dangerous to small children, In recording a verdict of death from natural causes the coroner sey- erely censured the parents, saying the case was one bordering on man- slaughter, If the other child died he would have no option but to summon a jury, THE MUSIC OF HARVEST (From the Toronto Globe) So many - hazards have now been overcome that it is almost taken for granted that the Western wheat har- vest will this year constitute a record by a considerable margin, An increase of 2,000,000 acres seeded would re- quire a major setback to bring any- thing but a record; still, the colossal undertaking of the Western farmers must always face serious dangers and only when these are past is rejoicing in order, The latest news is all favorable, Wheat is in head everywhere and is coloring; in a day or two the binders will be at work in all direc- tions, Grain is too far advanced to be in serious danger from rust. There have been local hail storms and re. gional wet stretches, but, as a whole the conditions have been excellent, and the talk is of a crop of 500,000, J bushels of wheat, compared with +10,000,000 last year and with 473, 0,000,000 in 1923 the year of the ;reatest preyious production, Marketing problems will soon oc- upy the minds of leaders, Weakness f wheat for the past month gives ome concern, and leads to fear that wer prices may be expected for the ew crop, A differenence of 10 to 20 ents per bushel is no light matter or the producer, At the same time ue wheat pool is strongly entrenched ven in world markets, with Canada ac largest exporter of wheat among he nations. Experience and confi once 'should bring a good return nrough the selling organization hich controls 60 per cent. of the crop. 'The harvest as it becomes a real- ty is like music for the West, the solden stream of grain * - bringing normous new wealth whose influ- ence is felt everywhere, The farm- er has the needful for all his pur- chases, his interest on borrowed money, something for payment on past debts, if any, perhaps something for Juxuries before Christmas, Tradesmen feel the current of new money in bills paid, middlemen clip a fraction here and there and plan new expenditures. Manufacturers forsee enlarged markets, distant cities will realize increased employment. It is as a genial yitalizing fluid running through the nation's yeins, for the wheat crop will represent about one- fiith of the new wealth of the en- tire Dominion from primary sources for the year. No Canadian can be indifferent to it, Ask men how they feel and they will entertain you for an hour with their woes.--Chicago Daily News, ' i INJURY TO PRISONER PROBED AT COBALT Cobalt, Aug. 24--Percy Pyack, young Cornish miner, is in the Lady Minto Hospital at Cochrane under medical observation, and the Police Committee of the Town Council there is probig the reason for the injuries that put him in that institution, and which were received, it is 'alleged, subsequent to his arrest as a drunk Constable Wilired Beaulac of the municipal force. Pyack, who was picked up at the station while wait- mg for a harvesters' train west, may have a slight fracture of the skull and an X-ray examination is to be made to determine the extent to which he had been injured. Pyack went from Porcupine to board an excursion train for Winni- peg, and it is claimed that during the wait of several hours in Cochrane he became drunk. Before the harvesters' train arrived, Constable Beaulac took him to the cells and locked him up, but he was released shortly afterward when his companion interested Coun- cillor McGill in the case. By this time, however, it is said, he was suf- fering from head injuries and a black eye, and it is stated that one eardrum had been broken. From inquiries he had made, the Mayor said he had been told Pyack must have injured himself in the cell, and he added that the police officers he had spoken to all declared they had not seen Beaulac strike Pyack. The matter is being investigated by the Police Committee, the Mayor de- clared. Mayor Ivy said there had been trouble wit prospective harvesters during the day, and that one other man, also from Porcupine, had been pushed or had fallen through an up- stairs window at a cafe. HOWLING FARCE (London Free Press) Judging by the manner in which 'the liquor stocks at Windsor are be- ing shipped across the river to De- troit, the American enforcement of the Volstead Act is a howling farce. "OHUFFLE BABY" ONE YEAR OLD Parents Show Judge How Happy They Are With Child Cleveland, O., Aug. 25.--Baby An- astasia Smith, who at the age of three weeks found herself the sub- ject of nation-wide publicity, cele- brated her first birthday Thursday with a visit to the court of Judge Carl V. Weygandt, who played the role of modern Solomon in a strange drama, Just about a year ago, Judge Wey- gandt was called upon to decide whether the baby girl was the child of Mrs. Smith. Anastasia's father claimed that after the birth of their child, the doctor had congratulated him on his "fine son." For nine days Mrs. Smith was toe ill so see her child and when a girl --instead of the "fine son"--was pla- ced by her side she charged the hos- pital attendants had made an er- ror and given her baby to another patient, The case created wide comment and Judge Weygandt, who heard testi- mony in a court action brought by Smith, ruled that the girl was Mrs, Smith's baby. CAN'T AFFORD IT NOW (From the Overseas Daily Mail) Our young women are discovering that the modern young man gives far fewer presents to the girl, or girls, whom he adores than did his father or his grandfather. Although the Victorian young women were always warned never to accept presents from men, they did very well indeed in the matter of flowers and books-- the form which gifts usually took in those days. Thirty years ago the ar- rival of an admirer with a bouquet in his hand was a matter of course, and many were the baskets of flow- LUMBER SHINGLES TEN-TEST INSULA 1ING GYPROC WALL BOARD ASPHALT SHINGLES (Bird & Son), Oshawa Lumber Co., Limited 25 Ritson Road North Phone 23821 TIMBER TRIM DOORS BOARD Aw ers which London florists were in- structed to leave at Miss Adorable's house.
