KAISER FAVORS ONTARIO DIVORCE - COURT Should Be Tried in' Another County From One Where Applicant Resides NO PUBLICITY Member for Ontario Oppos- ed to Publication of the . Evidence in Newspapers Speaking in the House of Com- mons debate on the establishment of a divorce court for Ontario last week. Dr. T., E. Kaiser, M.P,, for Ontario county, spoke in favor of the divorce court plan under certain conditions, which he outlined in his remarks, He was not in favor of having divorce cases tried in the counties in which the applicants, or either of them, re- sided, and he was opposed to grue- some details of the evidence being published in the newspapers. Dr. Kaiser's speech, as reported in Han- sard, was as follows: "I wonder if it has occurred to some of. the hon. gentlemen to our left, Mr. Speaker, that this particu- | lar case has now cost the country, so far as I have figured it out, $2,000. It l costs $1,000 an hour to run this in- | stitution, and if we deal with three or four hundred cases in this same way the country will have to put up some $2,000,000 to see the show through, "This case has given rise to the question of a divorce court for the province of Ontario. When that ques- tion was before the House I was paired with another hon. gentleman who was going to vote against the bill, inasmuch as I intended to vote for it, and I want to put myself on record as being in favor of the prin- ciple of establishing a divorce court for Ontario. I was not able on that occasion to follow the matter to a conclusion, because the discussion was closed off by you, Mr. Speaker, a lit- tle too quickly from my point of view. I should like to see embodied in legislation creating a divorce court for the province of Ontario, two con- ditions, whether appearing in the original bill as passed by this house, or incorporated in the provisions en- acted by the province. "In the first place, I do not believe that any divorce cases should be tried in the county in which the applicant resides; it should be tried in an ad- joining county. "In the second place, if a court be established in Ontario, I do not wish to see the gruesome details of the whole story published in the news- papers. In my opinion, any informa- tion which is to be published should first be submitted to the judge who tries the case, and he should deter- mine the desirability or otherwise of its publication, "These are the only two points I wish to mention and I stand firmly by them: Cases should not be tried in the county in which the applicant resides, and the literature which is spread throughout the country in re- gard to such cases should be censored by the judge who tries the case." Later in the debate, a reference was made to Mr. Kaiser's speech by Henri Bourassa, independent member for Labelle, Que. Mr. Kaiser, in sending a copy of Hansard to The Times containing, his speech and Mr. Bour- assa's remarks, jocularly placed on the margin alongside the latter the epigrammatic statement, "I'm ruined." Mr. Bourassa's comment on Mr. Kai- ser"s speech is as follows: -- "The hon. member for Ontario (Mr. Kaiser), one of the most sym- pathetic and genial members of this house--evyeryone lovey him, of course, --has raised the argument that this discussion is costing the country so much per minute. The hon. member is somewhat older than I am, but I well remember in the days of the old parliament when we used to say to the. opposition members, during the discussion of some trivial estimate, that they were costing the country so much. The answer would always come back, and it was the proper answer, that, whatever the amount of money at issue, there was some prin- ciple of administration or legislation at stake. That is the position which we take to-night." FIRE ON A BUS CAUSED ALARM Driver Acted with Great Promptitude and Little Damage Was Done Passengers on one of the Gray Coach Lines busses running from, Toronto to Oshawa were given quite a scare on Saturday after- noon when fire broke out in the bus when near Whitby. The fire was caused when a parasol, owned by a lady passenger, with celluloid ribs and ferrule came in contact with the heating apparatus on thé bus, causing the celluloid to burst into flame. The flame set fire to the upholstery on one of the seats, the passenger occupying this seat having his overcoat burned before he could get out of the way. Driver Atkinson, who was in charge of the bus, acted with great presence of mind and: promptitude in getting as many of the passen- gers as possible out of the bus, and extinguishing the flames with a chemical extinguisher before they had an opportunity to spread. Only slight damage was done to the bus, and it continued its trip immeul ately.
