McKAY WILL TESTIFY TO-NIGHT | Employees at Pedlar Plant Aver Machine Was Working Satis- factorily and Had Been in Use Many Years -- Deceased Was Thoroughly Competent to Operate It Whether there was 'negligence on the part of the Pedlar People Ltd. and whether every precaution was taken with the patient after his ar- rival at the Oshawa Hospital, arc the principle facts to be ascertained at the inquest into the death oi John Butler, who died Saturday morning, following an injury sus- tained while, at work and which necessitated the amputation of three fingers. The inquest was resumed Tuesday evening in the Town Hall before Coroner Dr. F. J. Rundle, Crown At- torney Farewell conducting the ex- amination. The principle witnesses were from the factory of the Pedlar People Limited and Dr. A, E. McKib- bon, who had charge of the case. W. 'E. N. Sinclair, M.P.P,, appeared in the interests of the Pedlar People * Limited. Most of the evidence was taken, but the testimony of Dr. McKay, who performed the operation, has yet to be heard. At 11.30 o'clock an adjournment was made until Thurs- day evening at 7 o'clock, Death Due To Pneumonia In examining witnesses from the Pedlar People factory, Cul. Farewell] questioned them at some length to the system used in operating the machine at which the accident oc- curred and whether or not a safer way could be introduced. He also brought out facts regarding the con- dition of the machine and whether or not it had been inspected regular- Ip. On the other hand Dr. McKib- bon's evidence concerned the ad- ministering of the anesthetic and his opinion as to the cause of death. He was also questioned as to whether or not any pre- cautions might have been taken, which were not carried out in this case. The doctor attributed death to bronichal pneumonia following the operation, due possibly to a chill sus- tained while being taken to the hos- pital, together with a slight cold from which the patient had been suffering, while the anesthetic might have been a contributing factor. William John Reid, first aid man, in the employ of the Pedlar People, testified that he was working about twenty feet from the scene of the accident when it occured and that the injuries were caused by the press dropping. The three large fingers of the left hand were crushed severely, and all he could do was to hold the two arteries of the wrist to prevent bleeding and rush the injured man to the Hospital, in the meantime having another person instruct Dr. McKib- bon to go directly to the Hospital. There was no time lost, witness stat- ed, and as far as the Pedlar works were concerned there was nothing Jeft undone that it was possible to do. /Witness gave his opinion that the stick holding the hammer must have slipped, letting the hammer down. He assured the jury that the machine was in perfect order and the acci- dent taking place was no fault of the machine. The stick might not have been in far enough and must have accidently slipped. 'The hammer it- self weighed about 700 pounds while the stick used for holding it up was a piece of oak 2 by 4 inches and about fifteen inches long. Deceased, wit- ness said was in good health and thoroughly competent for the work, having had three years' experience. Inspected Every Day R. D. Preston asked if there were any delay in getting the patient to: the operating room, and also if there were no other way for holding the hammer while not in operation. A. W. Brown said that personally he would like to see the machine, as in his opinion there should be some way of controlling the machine with- out the use of a piece of wood. Wit- mess testified that one stick would last probably three or four week: and it was inspected every day. Col Farewell advised the jury that if they had an idea there may have been negligence on the part of the factory. they had a perfect right to visit the plant. The point was, "Could the accident 'have 'been prevented by care?" Witness stated that he had visited other places where hammers were made and used, and it was said the most satisfactory system was that using of the block. In reply to a question by the Coroner, witness stated that the patient went into the operating room at 7.28. G mt Insp s John Rowden also an employee of the Pedlar People, testified that he had thirty years experience with (Continued on page 2) Doctor's View Reeve Rundle of Port Perry Resigas Port Perry at the present time is without a Reeve and whether there will be an elec- tion or an acclamation to se- cure one for the Lake Scugog town is not definitely known at present. Reeve Rundle, wno has occupied that position since last January, has just resigned as has. one of thu councillors. N At the time the Reeve accept- ed office there was a standing account between Mr. Rundle and Port Perry. He however, did not intend to pay it and the town had not started to sue him, It was understood by most people that the matter had been wiped off the books and Mr. Rundle 'ran for office. Now, however, some of the Port Perry people have resur- rected this old debt and Reeve Rundle has had to resign. At the present time an auditor is engaged going over the town books. Wm. W.

Rain Marred South Oshawa Garden Party The Garden Party under the Aus- pices of the South Oshawa Methodist Sunday School was somewhat mar- red by the downpour of Tuesday af- ternoon. Owing to the condition of the grass, it was impossible to hold the Garden Party, but refreshments were on hand, so the platform was quickly erected indoors and the pro- gram put on there, while the sal of candy and ice-cream went off as planned. Owing to the rain, and a misunder- standing as to whether the Garden Party would be put on, all the peoplc on the program did not put in an ap- pearance, but in spite of that the numbers were excellent and much en- joyed.. The Salvation Army Band was not on the program, which wa: very much regretted. Rev. Mr. McMullen, pastor of the church, was chairman of the follow- ing program; drill by the Primary children, which is especially worghy of mention, for it was a surprise on the part of the audience to see such wee tots doing such a dificult drill and it certainly showed a great dea of effort and patience on the part oi the trainer; a duet 'School Days" | by two other primary children, Chris-| tina Logeman and Norman Williams, | dressed as an old man and an old woman which was also unusual.

UNDER ADOLESCENT ACT Objections to Act Not Against Principle But to Expense Involved Enforcement of the Adolescent School Attendance Act ;h the town of Oshawa, while being carried out as vigorously as possible, has met with several difficulties which make the strict application of this law rather difficult at present. This Act, which was passed by the Ontario Provincial Legislature, was drawn up with the aim of keeping Ontario children under the influence of the Department of Education up till eighteen years of age. It, however, 18 being brought into force by easy stages, and in this way is not intended to work any un- Here Are 'the Questions and due hardship on those affected. Last September the section came in- to effect which makes it compulsory for all children between the ages of fourteen and sixteen to attend school unless they secure a special permit from the authorities to remain out of school, 'These permits have been given to many who showed just cause as to why they should not have to remain at school. Part Time Instruction September a further section comes into effect. This part of the Act decrees that all those between foureen and sixteen, who may not be attending school but are working on a permit from the school authorities, must take at least part time instruc- tion in some school. Then a year later, September, 1923, a third part of the Act comes into force. This will make it compulsory for all between the ages of 16 and 18 to take part time educational instruction also. In many towns and cities in On- tario last summer the census enumera- tors, when making their rounds, placed dm various categories all the children who would be affected by the Adolescent School Attendance Act. This, however, was not done in Osh- awa, Some towns had the Town As- sessor enumerate the children who would come under the Act as he made his rounds last year. But in the case of Oshawa the Town Assessor last year was instructed to proceed in this manner only after he had most of his work done. In this way only a part of Oshawa was done so as to aid the Truant Officer. In other Ontario towns where no enumeration of the children had taken place, the teachers were asked to can- vass the town and gather the neces- sary statistics. This was not done in Oshawa, however.

ALPHA MASONIC Almost Half Anglican Building Fund Objective Reached New Pipe Organ For Christian Church A new $4,000 pipe organ will be installed in the Oshawa Christian Church and be ready for use by September. The con- tract has already been let to the firm of Casavant, organ: manufacturers of Quebec, and when the instrument is instal- led the Christian Church will have one of the finest organs in Oshawa. Last spring a campaign was held by the members of the church to secure funds to pay for the new organ and in that canvass over half the neces- sary money was raised in cash. The present organ was instal- led about twelve years ago and at the present time is in rather poor condition. The present organist, Miss M, Ellis, will be in charge also when the new instrument arrives, : In all probability an organ recital will be held in the church shortly after the in- stallation, although the com- mittee points out that at the present plans in this regard are rather vague.

Are of Toronto, Committee States in Answer to, Criticism With half the campaign concluded ast night the teams of canvassers for nnds for the erection of the new St. yeorge's Memorial Church being built nn Centre Street, had raised practical ly half the objective of $90,000, hav: ing received a total of $44,174.25 in the two days. On Tuesdoy the teams raised $24,054 and vesterday the can- vassers reported $20,120.25. Each night of the four day cam | paign which is being waged, the team captains and members report the re sult of their day's canvass at 9.45 p.m. in the Sunday school hall, after which refreshments are served to the work- ers. During the canvass the workers have often been met with the remark that in the building of the foundation of the church that St, George's has employed outside labor and used ma- terials bought elsewhere than in Osh- awa. The committee in charge of the campaign wish to point out that while the contract was let to an outside firm. the Crescent Concrete Company of Toronto, that they employed none but Oshawa men and teams on the work, with the exception of the fore- man. All the material that has been used in the work was procured in this town, with the exception of the broken stone, which cannot be secured here. All the lumber, gravel, cement, ete, that was used was bought in Oshawa. Finish Voondation Friday The foundation for the church will he completed sometime to-morrow the tractors stated this morning. Work been in progress on the excava- ion and the foundation for only ibout a month and although held back by rain on some days, has- proceeded at a rapid rate, There are 650 cubic yards of concrete in the foundation.

Light refreshments | were served following the lodge work. | Adjournment was then made to Mar-| tin's Theatre, where an excellent pro- gram was provided. The feature of the program was the showing of the recently completed | moving pictures of Oshawa, the Wil- liams piano in the making, each pro- cess being 'shown in detail from the drying of the lumber until the finished instrument is placed in the freight car, and the building of motor cars at General Motors Limited, and the ship- ment recently of the trainload of motor cars to Europe. These pic- tures gave the visitors a splendid idea of the importance of Oshawa as | an industrial centre. Other numbers on the program included much appre- ciated selections by the visitors' orchestra and the Alpha quartette. The latter also assisted in the con- ferring of the degree in the lodge room. During the course of the even- ing Wor. Bro. Fletcher, on behalf of the Toronto brethren, presented Wor. Bro. Wallace of Cedar Lodge with a large box of chocolates for Mrs. Wallaee, to which Mr. Wallace briefly expressed his thanks. The toast to ""The Visitors" was responded to by Wor. Bro. Fletcher, Rt. Wor. Bro. Tait, who was the first Worshipful Master of Alpha Lodge when it was constituted in 1880 and Wor. Bro. Dr. J. Moore, of Brooklin.
