The MAN KILLED IN TORONTO 13 SAID "OSHAWA RESIDENT HARRY E., BASSETT STRUCK BY STREET CAR YESTERDAY Said to Have Resided in Oshawa During Past Week Inqoiry made locally has failed to reveal any particulars coniern- ing Harry Edwin Bassett, retired Toronto merchant, who was struck and killed by a sreet car in Toron- to yesterday and is said to have re- sided in Oshawa for the past week with his wife. He was 74 years old and for 20 years, kept a little news store at 332 Kensington road, Tor- onto. In that time he became the friend of countless residents in the northeast part of that city. Late in June, he sold out his little busi- ness and, with his wife, prepared to spend his remaining days in peace. The Toronto Mail and Empire speaks of the accident as follows: "While crossing Bay street, near Queen, through the noon rush traf- fic yesterday, he failed to see a southbound street car as he steppe into the tracks and was flung to the pavement before = the trolley could be stopped. "The old man had made his home recently with relatives at 345 Har- bord street, and last week, went to Oshawa with his wife. He came tu Toronto yesterday to arrange for an old-age pension, for his 20 years earnings from the little news store had not been great. Less than an hour after he 'had applied for tne pension he was fatally hurt. MINOR ACCIDENT NEAR HARMONY Harmony, Aug. 31.--An accident which, resulted in little injury to any of the occupants of the cars oc curred here this morning when the delivery truck of Barwell and Fer- guson, Oshawa butchers, was turning into the driveway of J. J. Terwille- gar's home, The driver either failed to put out his hand soon enough or the Durant car coming from the west failed to see the hand. The Durant, which was occupied by four persons, was turning out to pass the truck but crashed into it with such force that both vehicles were forced into the ditch. The truck and car were badly dam- aged but the occupants escaped with a bad shaking up. POSTAL SERVICE FOR LABOR DAY No Letter Carrier Delivery-- Post Office Open 9 to 11 am.

Devon Vagrancy Committee has been considering the establishment of a centre where homeless and unemployed young men can be re- scued from a life on the roads by being trained in such country arts as market gardening, basket mak- ing, hand weaving, and wood carv- ing. A course of three or four months training would be voluntarily un= dertaken by those whom it is de: signed to benefit. { When it became known that search was being made for a suit: able training centre, the commit- tee received the offer of Blackbor- ough House, a fine old mansion, erected in a parish about five miles from Culompson by the late Earl of Egremont. The committee has had offers of financial assistance towards the purchase of the property, which has been offered at a low price, and it is not anticipated that any dif- ficulty will be encounteréd in rais- ing the remainder of the money required. TOO MANY OUTLAWS War has been outlawed. but, uns fortunately this is a time when outlaws flourish and go ahout do= ing much as they like. That is & point the country may profitably remember when listening to plans for scuttling our defence equip- ment, ; 2 AT £. N.E.

Carson Keeler Again Tries For Kite Flying Break's Carson Keeler, twelve-year-old lo- cal lad residing at 162 Mill street, who brought fame to himself and to this city when he claimed to have established a world's record for the flight of a Chinese kite last Tuesday has broken his own record. During his recent cffort this youthful en- thusiast succeeded in maintaing his kite at an altitude of 500 feet for over 23 hours. Yesterday morning at 6 o'clock the kite was again run up in the sky and at ten o'clock this morning it was still sailing after be- ing in continuous flight for twenty- eight hours. As far as can be as- certained it was still in the air at the time the paper went to press to- f kn ws | day. College Hill is record-breaking kite flying Fame, Own Record and many persons have been attract- ed to the spot to watch the kite as it rides gracefully in the breezes like a ship at anchor in an airy clement. Young Keeler is attended by two eager henchmen, Arthur Carr, 524 Cubert street and Frank Oliver, 178 Mill street. The youthful trio spent the night in a tent at the summit of the hill so that they might keep close watch on the kite, They have cer- tainly demonstrated skill in this fav- orite pastime and the city may well be proud of their success. According to prophecy made to- day the future generation will tra- vel by. air as the present generation travels on road and railway.

It is understood that the erection of the plant will be pro- ceeded with at once, Land for the establishment of this plant was purchased from Richard Jenkins, who sold the company the south-east corner of his farm, which is situated on the north side of Ross- land road between Simcoe street and Ritson road, just opposite the "Hills and Dales" subdivision in the city. W. Hayes, who handled the pur- chase of the property for the brick company, stated that work would commence at_ once on the plant. He has called for tenders on changing the course of the creek running through the property and on_ cutting down a small hill on it, preparatory to the erection of the plant, FACTORIES CLOSE IN OSHAWA TODAY Holiday Given Employees on Manufacturers' Day at CN.E.

VIVID STORY TOLD Arabia.--The landing stage at Port Tewfik presented a Jeddah, was his nearest competitor, 400 yards A, ere ai SHOR strange spectacle as my wife and I made our way towards the gang- way of the ship which was to carry us on our voyage of exploration to Jeddah. Moored alongside the open, tin-roofed shed lay the steamship Keneh, waiting to receive her mix- ed cargo of 500 pilgrims, who now sat in patient groups under the burning roof. Among the crowd moved the local vendors of refresh- ment: the water carrier, with shiny 'I leather sheepskin bag containing a tepid liquid hardly worth the five milliemes demanded for a mug- full; the lemonade seller, his cloudy liquid showing grey-green through a large glass jug, smear- ed outside with brown patches where the flying sand adhered to the sticky overflow; the cucumber seller, behind a shallow brass tray on which the quartered fruit--a boon to parched lips--was spread temptingly. All these were solemn gentry, sad,faced and grubby, whose harsh voices would suddenly rise. above the murmur of the crowd and the clanking rattle of the winches. "Moy a a' (water), 'Lemon' (lem- onade), they would chant in turn, in the mournful sing-song adopiea by their fraternity throughout the world. The coffee seller, jingling his cups, his large, shiny brass coI- fee-pot suspended by a strap over his shoulder, his face smiling and shiny like the pot, provided a re- freshing contrast. His "Gahwa! Gahwa!" (Coffee, coffee) had a tempting sound, and was delivered in a more jovial tone. He paused a moment before an old man with beard red-dyed, who rose heavily and, having no Arabic, indicated the coffee-pot and offered a five- millieme piece. The coffee seller shook his head; by rapidly opening and closing the figers of his right hand he doubled the piece. 'ney quietly regarded each other, but the coffee seller had the more ag- sured look. He had 500 potential customers, while Red-beard saw but one coffee-pot to hope from. As his small purse could not ar- ford the extra five milliemes ha ruefully resumed his sitting pos- ture on the dusty floor. {00 LATE TO CLASSIFY TO RENT--NEW APARTMENT with every convenience, furnished or unfurnished, Very central.

B. Mitchell at the last regular meeting of the commission, and the new rates are affective from July 1, Under the terms of. the new measure the schedule of rates is amended so that the service charge or a 5-8 inch water conenction will amount. to $1.25 per three months whereas under the sched- ule provided under the former by- law the cost was fixed at $1.76 three months, . The service nection will 'he $2.50 per three months while the reduction is prac- tically the same throughout in. the case of larger connections. The majority of homes however are served by 9% inch connection. The Water Rate The charge for water will be 16% cents per 100 cubic feet up to 2000 cubic feet, while 11 cents will be charged for each additional 100 ft. This reduction for the con- sumption of water over 2000 cubig feet does not apply on domestic service where two or more fami- lies use water from one meter, The bylaw provides that all re- pairs to meters made necessary by damage from frost or hot water shall be at the expense of the customer, the minimum charge for such repairs being: $2.00, The changes in the water rates are ef- fective from July 1, Main on Bloor Street The decision of the commission to grant the petition 6f fourteen householders for the establishing of water connection on Bloor street, for three blocks east of Ritson ! Road gave rise to a lively discus- | sion concerning the unemployment ; situation in the city and the Te. | sponsjbility of the municipality! towards those who are out of work. "How much will this work" cost?' asked Commiszioner H, P. Schell. "Approximately $8,600," replied City Engineer Smith, "From the standpoint of health I believe the petition should be granted," Commssicner Schell com- mented. City Engineer Smith pointed out that here was a house to every 100 teet as required by the Cobmrhis- sion before it could lay the .water main, He also mentioned that the' petitioners were having trpukle' with their wells, 5 Relieve Unemployed Commissioner Schell moved that the petition be granted. "I will second that motion," stated Mayor Mitchell, "but under- stand I hope that this undertaking may provide some work for those who are unemployed. I "do not think that the city council is giv- ing the attention it should to the unemployment situation as it exists now, Every day men come to me begging for work and I am left holding the bag." The commission however did not favor laying off its present ems. ployes, many of whom have been! on the payroll for years, in order to provide work for the unemploys ed. Mayor Mitchell agreed that this was logical but he hoped that the laying of the water main might give work for some extra men and he trusted that all public bodies might consider the predicament of the unemployed citizen of the com- munity. Do Work in Fall It was agreed that the work, would not be undertaken until late this fall when conditions should warrant. ¥ ! Accounts paid in advance, total ling $4,269.68 were passed by the commission. Unpaid accounts to< talled $10,454.33 giving a com- plete total of $14,724.01. W. H.
