Ruddy at the general session of the peace in the court house here, yesterday afternoon on a charge of setting fire to her home at 166 Ellfott ave., Oshawa, on the night of 'August 1. His Honor declined to allow the case to go to the jury stating that the evidence of the Crown would only cause the jury to guess who actually started the con- flagration. "There are circumstances in the evidence," His Honor commented, "which might direct suspicion to- ward the accused. But the jury , could only guess Whether she was guilty or not and she therefor must not be placed in jeopardy." "Mrs. McKenzie," Judge Ruddy said in addressing the accused, 'you are now acquitted and at liberty to leave the court room." Excelsior Found Circumstances which had arous- ed suspicion that someone had set the building on fire were described by Fire Chief W. E_ Elliott, of Osh- awa, who told of finding a quantt- ty of excelsior and other inflamma- ble material stuffed in between the joists and the first floor of the building. When the firemen broke / into the house to combat the flames a strong smell of coal oil was notic- ed, he said. Mrs. McKenzie was not at home when the fire occurred. An opinion that the fire had broken out in three places at once was expressed by Mr. Kerr, a fire insurance adjustor from Toronto. There were indications that the blaze was of incendiary origin. Donald Rice, who was one of the first to notice the fire, stated fh fo ae Abit 19s Li two different places in-the interior. The blaze seemed to be fiercer at the rear of the building, he said. Hp alarmed the neighbors and car- ried two chairs off the front porch of the dwelling--the only moveable objects which he could find within reach. : Previous Fire A fire which had occurred in Mrs. McKenzie's home several months previous, was described by James Hood, a former resident of Elliott ave. He, with others, had seen flames in the kitchen of the building and hastening to the scene they had succeeded in extinguish- ing the blaze with pails of water. Mrs. McKenzi® was not at 'home, he said, but arrived a few minutes later. Witness said that there was a damp spot on the floor and Mrs. McKenzie had told him that she had spilled some coal oil by acei- dent. Questioned by M. W. Wil- son, of Toronto, counsel for the de- fense, he admitted that the stove in the kitchen was defective, part of the fire box having been burnt away, Mrs. McKenzie spent the evening at their home on the night of the fire, Milton Gray, of 220 Nassau Give a Picture Write picture at the top of your Christmas list You couldn't think of a more suitable Christmas Gift, especially this year, ! for artists and designers . have outdone themselves _ iin coloring of pictures and * styling of frames. ..

She was there for supper and was still there when he returned home at eleven o'clock after being up town. A few minutes before twelve o'clock the accused woman left to go to her home, the witness testified. Heard Someone in House "She had not been gone more than five or six minutes when she returned," Gray said. 'She seemed frightened and said that she thought she had heard someone in her home. I offered to get a neigh- bor and go through her home but she said I might be clubbed." As Mrs. McKenzie still seemed frightened he and his Wife offered to let her remain at their place for the night, the witness stated, A minute later he happened to look out of the window toward her home and saw that it was in flames. He rushed out and rumning into a neighbor's place called the fire de- partment by telephone, The evidence of Gray was corro- borated to a large extent by Mrs. Gray, his wife, Before Mrs. Mi- Kenzie had left their place for her home they had been talking about spooks and Mrs. Gray said that she had remarked that she would not like to enter the McKenzie home at that late hour of the night, es- pecially as the doors had not been locked. / "Mrs. McKenzie had not' been gone over five minutes before she returned," Mrs, Gray said. "She looked badly frightened and said that she felt spooky." A statement had been made by a previous witness that Mrs. Mec- Kenzie had removed her belongings to the Gray home before the fire oc- curred. ever that the belongings consisted of but a few soiled clothes which she had brought to be washed as they often did their washing to- gether. On the afternoon before the fire she had assisted Mrs. McKenzie to clean the floors of her home with chipso, coal oil and water, Mrs. Gray stated, Asked by His Honor as to what the Crown's theory was concerning the fire, Crown Attorney J. A. Me- Gibbon, who prosecuted the case, stated that there was evidence that everything had been carefully plan- ned before hand. The trap had been set and the supposition was that when Mrs. McKenzie returned te her home after spending the even- ing with the Gray family she had started the fire and then hastened away. There was evidence that the pb rosrany was 1 POOT Circumstances and that the house was insured for twice its value, he said. If she could burn it down she could raise money by collecting her insurance. On the other hand, M. W, Wilson, defense counsel, contended that there was no evidence to implicate his client and that the charge was preposterous. He pointed out that she had lost all her belongings in the fire including her false teeth clothing and furniture, upon which she carried no insurance, ONLY FIGHT CASES OF CONTAGION HERE $0 FAR THIS MONTH proved Over That of Few Years Ago The contagious disease situation in this city is still remarkably good, The 'limes is informed by Miss B, EK. Harris, senior public health nurse. Only eight new cases have been re- ported so far in December, and 'the month is over a third passed. In November, a total of 22 cases were reported, and it thus seén that, so far, December is keeping about even with that figure. No new Scar- ict fever cases have been reported this month, and only case of diph- theria, "This patient did not receive immunization treatment. Two diph- theria contacts are also under obser- vation. The eight cases reported this month include four of whooping cough, {This situation is remarkably good for this season of the year, when there is perhaps, the worst danger of cctagion of any of the months. Miss Harris says that there are only about one-tenth of the number of cases that there were a few years ago. The immunization work has been carried on in the schools of Oshawa in re- cent years no doubt has had a great deal to do with the remarkable im- |. provement in the contagious disease situation, YORGNIO TVERTOCK (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Toronto, Dec. 11.--Cattle Re- wceipts, 6.

No explanafion of the accident other than the possibility that his steering wheel had gone out of or- der could be given by Russell Far- rell, father of the deceased infant and driver of the car, He emphati- cally denied having had anything to drink on the night in question. Car Out of Control Accompanied by his wife, his in. fant daughter, Mr. (Grant MacLen- nan and Miss Kathleen Sparham, he had motored to Oshawa, he said, to visit friends by the name of Ste- venson, who reside on Mill street. They left on the return trip to To- ronto at 1.30 o'clock the following morning, Farrell stated. He was in charge of the car and they were not driving faster than 30 miles an hour when, about a mile and a half west of the city, he found that he was heading for the ditch on the wrong side of the highway. He could not control the machine and although he attempted to apply his brakes it swerved off the highway and struck a telephone pole.

Local stores are al- ready displaying trees for sale. GROCERIES STOLEN There is one farmer residing in this district who is convinced that it does not pay to shop in Osh- awa. It is not because he can not secure good value for local mer- chants enjoy a fine reputation for the values which they gave, Rath- er his decision is based upon an unfortunate experience which oe- 'urred to him last week when after filling the rear seat of his car with groceries and other purchases he went away for a few minutes and upon his return found that all his parcels had disappeared. The ingident should be syfficlent to warn, shoppers to keep their car doors locked if they have left pur- chases in their cars exposed to view, DECEMBER RAIN STORM Oshawa and district Is experl- encing another good December rain today, Goloshes, umbrellas, and raincoats were much jn evid- ence. on the streets of the city this morning as pedestrians endeavor- ed to protect'themselves from the cold drizzle.

White, Osh. awa's oldest rosident, at the ven- erable age of ninety-seven years, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. D. W, MecNicholl, at 156 McMillan Drive, Oshawa. Besides losing her oldest res!- dent, the City of Oshawa has suf- fered a distinct loss in the death of Mr. White. In his long period cf life Mr. White had many interest- ing experiences and his life story is a colourful one. Saturday night about 9 o'clock.

Interesting Life Story Born in Heath, Mas., U.S.A, the deceased moved to this city just nine years ago where he has lived with his daughter at 156 McMillan Drive. Employed as a salesman for the Office Specialty Company, the late Mr. White travelled very extensively, having visited at one time or another, practically every State in U.S.A. and a great many of the Canadian Provinces. Many are the amusing and interesting in- stances connected with these years of travel which he could recall and relate in an entertaining manner. He was a great student of hu- man nature, taking a keen interest in the developments of science, re- ligion and commerce. He was a man of strong convictions and straightforward in his manner. His many friends were always very much interested in the vivid word- pictures of his past, which Mr. White could portray so well.

Ruddy at the general sessions of the peace in the court house, here, yesterday morn- ing. The jury noted the fact that while the jail houses 35 inmates, 35 there are only 27 beds and that a number of the prisoners are forced to sleep on the floor. The presentment reads lows: -- "That we have disposed of all matters brought up before us by the County Crown Attorney. "We visted the county Gaol, We are pleased to gee the improvement in the cells of the new wing, and found there are' thirty-five Inmates and only twenty-seven beds, the rest of the prisoners are sleeping on the floors, and we would recom- mend that this new type of cell be carried out in the other portion of the Gaol. . "The laundry stove, which has been in service for twenty-seven years, is in poor condition, and a new one is needed very badly. We also find there should be a sewer connection for the waste water from the laundry, We do not consider it sanitary as it is. "The steps leading down to the basement are in very poor condi- tion. Same should be repaired. We found the rest of the Gaol quite in order. "We also visited the House of Refuge, and found everything very satisfactory, excepting the Kitchen stove, which we understand has been in service since 1903, the oven of which is giving out. "We visited the Court House and found everything in order excepting the lock on the door of the room used by the Grand Jury, "In closing our report we beg to acknowledge the courtesy extended to us by Your Honour, and the County Crown Attorney, J.

Effi- cient in his work and ever-raithful mn the duties which were intrusted to him, he commanded the confidence oi his employers and was well liked by those under his charge. The late Mr. Hopper was a faithful member of the King Stret United Church, formerly the old Metcaife Street Methodist Church. He was al- so a member of I.O.F, Lodge No. As a kind and loving father and husband, the deceased will be greatly missed by members of his family aird a wide circle of friends.

Times Informed by Author. itative Source That An- other Firm, in Addition to Coulter Co., Is Ready to Locate Here ASK FOUNDATION TO CONSTRUCT FACTORY Will Mean Much to City of Oshawa Ir Sufficient Cap- tial Is Subscribed to Erect Both Factories That Are Contemplated Upon the result of the sale of the capital stock issue of the Ogh- awa Industrial Foundation depends whether or not another important industry, in addition to the Coulter Manufacturing Company, locates in the city of Oshawa, This informa- tion has come to The Times from an authoritative source, and while further details cannot be published at the present time, it can be stated that the officials of the industry concerned have all their plans made to move to Oshawa upon completion of the factory, which will be built if the capital stock issue is fully subscribed, This shows the great Importance to hte future industrial development of Oshawa of the issue of stock which is being offered to the public to the value of $100,000, . To Build Two Factories As has been stated previously, the money raised by this stock issue is to be used for the erection of the factory to be occupied by the Coulter Manufacturing Com- pany, and tenders are now coming in to the Oshawa Industrial Foun- dation for that factory, In addi- tion, another factory is to be built on the city's industrial area on Simcoe Street South, and already there is a new industry, details of which have not as yet been made known to the people of Oshawa, waiting to stop into this second factory as soon as it can be made available, But its erection depends on the response which is made by the investing public of Oshawa to the stock offer which is now being made, The fact that these two indus- tries are waiting for factories to be built in order to locate here shows the necessity for just such a plan as is being put in operation by the Oshawa Industrial Founda- tion for the future industrial de- velopment of the city. Ever since the Chamber of Commerce was established, it has been found that the greatest handicap to the se- curing of new industries was the entire lack of suitable factory buildings in which to locate them. Many industrial prospects have been offered to Oshawa, but the answer was always the same:-- "you have no buildings available." To Overcome Handicap It was to overcome this handi- cap that the Oshawa Industrial Foundation was organized, and now it has its first great opportunity to provide for two new and bona- fide industries, each of which will make a substantial contribution to th® available employment for Osh- awa workmen, and 'will be decided assets to the industrial fabric of Oshawa. Messrs, Cutler and Preston, fin- ancial agents for the Oshawa In- dustrial Foundation, Limited, are meeting with a very favorable re- sponse from the'citizens of Oshawa who are interested in sound invest ments, This issue is meeting with special favor because it is entirely ap Oshawa project, sponsored and endorsed by Oshawa men, to pro- vide money which will be spent in Oshawa for the development of Oshawa. It is expected. with all confidence that there will be a suf- ficient number of people anxious to help the development of their own city to ensure that the issue of $100,000 will be fully sub- scribed, but the Oshawa Indus- trial Foundation is making a spec- ial appeal to all citizens who have money for investment to investi- gate this project fully, and do their part in helping to bring new and worth-while industries of a divesified character to Oshawa.
