J. Collacutt said: "Thats' the first I've heard about it." He also stated tha. at the present time he was not con- templating extending his line through to Montreal from Toruvno as reported in a Toronto paper last night. A further item in a 'Torumw morning paper today said that it was now understood that a Toron- to-Montreal service would be in- stituted by the former proprietors of the DelRay line. The item read: "Daily through transportation on parlor car type motor coaches will be available between Toronto and Montreal by the end of this month, it was reported yesterday. It is said the line will be operaie. in behalf of Provincial Transport, Limited, of Montreal, by the form- er management of the Del-Ray Coach lines, whose franchise we- tween Toronto and Oshawa was recently bought out by the T.T.C. The buses will use the Gray Coach Lines terminal at Bay and Front streets, it is thought."

Waiting For Germans Paris, May 8.--Private talks be- tween the reparations experts con- cerning the proposal for settling the German reparations problem made by Owen D. Young went on this morning. Mr. Young's explanatory memor- andum, setting forth how he ar- rived at his figures and suggesting to the creditor nations that they change the percentages in the par- tition of reparations to suit thew- selves, is now in the hands of all the delegations. The text of the German condi- tions on acceptance, which was ask- ed for yesterday and promised for today, is still being withheld ac- cording to the best information, that text may never see the light of day. There seems to be a feel- ing on the part of the German aeie- gation that there ig no reason for producing it. It was declared this morning at Germdn headquarters that that the delegation had never been asked for it. This does not agree. how- ever, with previous information from an equally reliable source. Meanwhile, press reports from London, forecasting British reser- vations is causing some concern in conference circles. It was reported in the lobbies of the Hotel George V, headquarters of the second Dawes committe: all yesterday efternoon that the Germans were preparing a list of their reservations. It was even re- norted at one moment that the text had been delivered. In the evening some of the ex- pverts declared that Dr. Schacht, ~hief German daleeats, wnnld bring forward his wn-aweatian taday, bnt "a experts waited all this morn- ing in vain Dr, Schacht did i» appear at the hotel, and at the headanarters of the German delega- tian, it wag soid that the German; tad evnressed themselves on Mr Yonne's nronnsala just as the other evnerts had Thav sunnnsed that whan all tha delamatinng had taken thelr nacitinng gome anh-commit. tee wonld take nn the matter which world then be thrashed out in com- mittee. .

The visit was confined to a stay of about four hours.

Praise of the measure was voiced by Representative Tilson of Cou- necticut, the majority floor leader; chairman Snell of the Rules com- mittee, which will report a rule to govern consideration of the meas. ure in the House, and Chairman Hawley and other Republicans who took part in framing the measure. Hoover's View As study and discussion went forward at the Capitol, there was conjecture as to how President Hoover would view the bill in the light of his expressed desire for a "limited" revision of customs du- ties with the lesser rates left for the Tariff Commission to consider. While Chairman Hawley esti- mated that the actual changes in protective rates would not exceed 20 per cent. of the total dutiaple items, only one schedule, that deal- ing with tobacco, was untouched, while an entirely new schedule was created embracing manufac- tures of artificial silk, officially termed 'rayon' in the bill. One surprising development was the action of the committee in re- porting out an entirely new bill as a substitute for the existing Ford- ney-McCumber Act. Unless the senate finance committee complete- ly rewrites the House measure, as it usually does, every commodity embraced in both the dutiable and free lists would be open to devate and amendment on the Seuute floor. To avoid such a contingency, President Hoover suggested, infor- mally at least, that no general tar- iff revision law be placed before congress, but that a bill in the na- ture of an amendment to the exist- ing act be reported. Consifiners May Object Ottawa, May 8.--The proposed changes in the United States duties on milk, cream and cheese are ex- pected to meet with considerable opposition in that country, W. Stephen, secretary of the National Dairy Council of Canada, said to- day. He did not expect the changes to be adopted in their present form. The proposed increase in tue duty of cream was a very heavy one, said Mr. Stephen, from 20 to 48 cents a gallon. But in discuss- ing the matter with some Ameri-~ can importers they had intimated they would still need to have Cana- diandian cream, he said. Consum- ers in the United States are very much opposed to such increases, continued Mr. Stephen. He pointed out that the New England States are within a 13 hour run of Ontario and Quebec and the population of these states numbers about 36 million persons. Producers in U.S.A. cannot meet the demands of this big population, said Mr. Stephen. At the same time, he pointed out, Canada's exports of dairy pro- ducts to the U.S.A. represent only about two per cent 'of the latter consumption. The New England states do not need to fear Canada but the midle western states, he said. As regards exports = of cheese, American firms use Canadian cheese for: their process products in thig line. Qualities in Canada as to dairy products have been pretty well standardized, he said, and they are popular in the United States.

MASONIC TEMPLE | INSPEGTED BY MANY LAST NIGHT FORMAL OPENING AT- TENDED BY LARGE GATHERING President of Company Pays Tribute to the Architect and Builder One of the finest tributes to Mason- ry in Canada, is the new Masonic Temple, which will, henceforth, house all Masonic lodges in the city was formally opened last night, The en- tire edifice was thrown open to the inspection of local and visiting Ma- sons and was adjudged to be a mag- nificent structure in every detail. Ap- proximately five hundred Masons at- tended the opening, wandering through the spacious halls, vestibules, libraries and lodge-rooms before en- tering the large auditorium where an interesting program was presented, The Building Although imposing enough from the exterior as it stands a monument to the craft on Centre street, the in- terior of the temple presents even a greater attraction. The entrance lobby is a work of art, and was un- iversally admired last night. The main auditorium is located at a low- er level than the lobby floor and the light coloring of the woodwork gives it a very bright, cheerful and at- tractive appearance. A stage has been erected in the south end of the build- ing. If the first storey is regarded with admiration, the second floor on which are located the lodge roonmis 1s even more striking as an architectural accomplishment. A smaller lodge room and a splen- did library with additional cloak rooms on the third storey finish in splendid detail a well-laid out build- ing. Work Eulogized George Hart, president of the Osh- awa Masonic Temple company and chairman during the formal proceed- ings last night made special mention of the wonderful work of the archi- tect, C. C. Stenhouse, and W., J. Trick, 'builder, in the erection of the building. Co-operation, he explained, was the cause of such fine sucgess in their undertaking, stress being laid on the fact that only local labor was employed. Tribute was also paid by several speakers to the directors of Temple Building, Limited, through whose ef- forts the project was begun and suc- cessfully consummated. Entertain- ment was provided by Sid Dempsey who gave a cornet solo, Horace Nob- bin, a saxophone solo, the duo Schwartz and Wilburn, blackface number and Matt Gouldburn. Snell's orchestra of Oshawa provided the music during the evening. The formal dedication of the new Temple by the Hon. J. S. Martin, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge in Canada, will be conducted on Friday evening when prominent Masons, ii- cluding Grand 'Lodge officers from all over Canada, will be present, THREE CASES HEARD IN DIVISION COURT THIS MORNING Eleven Are Adjourned Un- til Next Division Court Session Fourteen cases appeared before Judge Thompson in the First divi- sion court this morning, the ma- jority of which were adjourned.

(108a) Big Conference EDITORIAL STAFF OF OSHAWA TIMES FRANK N. PICKFORD APPOINTED AS TELE- GRAPH EDITOR Has Had Wide 'Newspaper Experience and Creditable Record of War Service Frank N. Pickford, formerly of the staff of The Sentinel-Review, Wood- stock, and of the Manchester Gaz- ette, Manchester, England, has joined the staff of The Oshawa Daily Times and has taken over the duties of tel- egraph and cable editor. His appoint- ment has been made necessary by the vastly increased telegraph and cable service which is being received byThe Times as a result of the instal- lation of the full leased wire Cana- dian Press service, now coming di- rect to the office over the Creed Au- tomatic Telegraph Printer. Mr. Pickiord is a newspaperman of wide experience. Born and educated in England, he began his newspaper career on the staff of the Manchester Evening Gazette, a old country news- paper of high standing. Later he went to the United States and for five years was on the staff of the Camden Courier, of Camden, New Jersey, tak- ing up various branches of editorial} work. Last year, he came to Canada; and was on the staff of The Sentinel- Review, at Woodstock, until last week, when he left that newspaper to join the staff of The Oshawa Times. During the world war, Mr. Pickford had a very creditable record of active service. After the outbreak of war, he served as an officer in the Lanca- shire Fusiliers, and later transferred to the Royal Air Force, in which he served as an airman for the last eighteen months of the war, Since coming to Canada he has taken a keen interest in the affairs of the Canadian Legion and was the secrc- tary of the Woodstock branch of that organization, Mr. Pickford has also taken a keen interest in amateur theatrical affairs, and will, doubtless, find time to follow his inclinations in that direction in Oshawa. OLD OSHAWA MAN COMMITS SUICIDE AS SHERIFF ACTS A. A. Jory, Newmarket, Said to Have Lived Here Four Years Ago Newmarket, May 8. -- "If you take these things you will take them over my dead body," A. A. Jory, 55, of Pine Orchard, toi sheriff's officers who came to his chicken farm to evict him on a distress warrant yesterday. Not thinking that Jory intended to carry out his threat, the men went about their business, ejecting the man from the property, and Jory went upstairs wrote a letter to a friend, and then went outside and shot himself with a revolver. The sheriff's officers ran to the fence where he was lying, but Jory had shot himself through the head and died an hour and a half later. The remains were brought to the undertaking parlors at Newmarket on the orders of Dr. J. H, Wesley, who will hold an inquest. Jory had apparently been brood- ing over his failure to make a suc- cess of the 15-acre farm whica ue purchased on coming to Pine Orch- ard from Oshawa four years ase.
