It is understood, the news- paper adds, that the report<of the Bonn Conference held in continu- ation of the Lambeth Conference discussions on' the matter will contain unanimous recommenda- tions for the establishment of full communion and will therefore herald the first step since the re- formation towards restoring the broken unity of Western Chris tendom. If such communion is establish- ed there would 'be no legal bar to a Dutch, German or French priest of the old Catholic church ministéing in England, or against an English priest ministering .in those countries. A similar com- mission to that"held at Bons has been appointed t6 meet Tepreses- tatives of the Eastern Orth: gpens up between Do agioans, the old Cath- olics and the Eastern Orthodox Bodies in London in the Reay fu- ure. Church: union has been a mat- ter of -deep interest for a great many years, one of the earliest de finite steps being the recommen- dations of the Lambeth Confer- ence of 1920. The conference de- clared: "If the authorities of other communions should '80 de- sire we are persuaded that," terms of union. having : been otherwise satisfactorily adjusted, .bishops and clergy of our communion 1d willingly accept from thele orities a form eof commission "recognition which would com- d our ministry to their con- gation, as having its place in one family life. It is our hope thet the same motives would lead fai asters who have not received it toaecept a commission through bpal ordination, in obtaining b a ministry throughout Wiole fellowship." !

Appeals For Leaders in Work of 'Character Building Addressing the weekly luncheon of the Oshawa Rotary Club yester- day, Reg. Terrett, well-known local scout - leader 'and secretary of the Oshawa Boy. Scouts' Association, made a strong appeal for leadership and 'moral support in the work of character-building which the boy scout, movement is catrying on in the city. Mr. Terrett's address was enlightening. in the mass of detail which it gave regarding the work of the boy scouts in Oshawa through- out the Dominion and all over the world. Scouting, he said, had been started twenty-three yéars ago by Sir Robert Baden-Powell, now Earl Guildwell, with a troop of 28 boys, and had since then spread in- to 45 different countries and 31 parts of the British Empire, with a total enrolment of 3,000,000 scouts. In Canada, there were 50,000 boy scouts, so that it couid be consid ered a movement of great magni+ tude and importance, Touching on the aims and ideals of scoamting, Mr. Terrett denied that it was a militaristic organization, but showed by a recital of scout ac- tivities, that it was not a "Cissified" organization. Answering the criti- cism that it was non-religious, Mr. Terrett admitted that it did not foster any particular religious de- nomination or creed, but quoted the scout laws to show that it was grounded on Christian principles of iving, and that religious exercises of a non-sectarian type had a place in scout meetings. The scout movement in Oshawa had been originated in 1911, largely through the efforts of Mac Soanes, and at the time of the outbreak of war in. 1914 'there were 250 scouts in Oshawa. The war caused a Bi ostess aod. sees sullen bo eaders scouts enlisting for service:- Since the wat, "the move- | ment had been re-organized, . and there were mow 407 scouts in the six Oshawa troops. . Making. a. plea for. leaders, Mr. Terrett pointed out that of six Fscoutmasters, three had been forced to seek employment in other cities, while two others were unemployed and might have to leave the city, There was a great need, he said, for leaders to devote some time and en- ergy to giving leadership to a boys' work movement which was carrying on a great work of character-build- ing. Mr, Terrett also stressed the need 'of scout quarters in the city, ad -- equipment, particularly for or some of the scout " Abgve all, he 'said, mora support was' required, and he ex- pressed thanks to the Rotary Club the assistance given in this year's scout camps, ¥ e er was introduced by Dr. W.

Holig, M.D:, emphasized in its verdict at the inquest last night held into the death of David Johnston, of Cartwright township, who died in the Oshawa Hospital on August 2, as the result of injuries received when his car was struck at an in tersection near Blackstock, on the previous Saturday night, by a car driven by Robinson. The inquest was held in the city Council Chambers and the jury's verdict was as follows: "We find that David Johnston came to his death on Aug. 2 in the Oshawa Hospital as the resyit of injuries received when his "car collided with a car driven by William C, Robinson on the Scugog road in the township of Cartwright on Aug. 1. We find that Willlam Robinson wag driving at an exces- sive rate of speed." The accident, with its subse- quent tragic results, occurred on the Scugdg road at an intersec- tion near Blackstock, about mid- night a week ago Saturday night. According to the evidence of wit- nesses Robinson was travelling fouth on the main road while Johnston attempted to cross the main road from a side-road to the east. Robinsen and two girls, who were with him, stated it was difficult to see trafic approaching the crossing from the east on ac- count of trees and buildings which obstructed the view, Speed 25 Miles Robinson, who comes from Jan- etville, stated that he was travel- ling at a speed of approximately 25 miles an hour as he approach- ed the intersection. He did not see Johnston's car until it was al. most in front of him. The two wehicles came together with con- Ha ai township, and Inez Fralick, of 5, ot Cartwright 11 Find Excessive Speed Contributed to Death Corp's Jury Brought in Verdi To Thi Eft Whar ting Death of Motorist, David 'Johnson--, Driver of Other Car, Said He Was Going 25 Miles Per Hour on Intersection Scugog Island, who were driving with Robinson, said that their view of the side-road fo the east was obstructed by trees and other objects. As they claimed that there is hardly any traffic on this particular side-road east of the Scugog road, they were not ex- pecting any vehicle' to approach the crossing from the east but were rather keeping watch for traffic approaching from the west. They did not see Johnston's car in time to warn Robinson. His investigation of the accident wag described to the jury by Pro- vincial Constable Everett Smith, of Bownianville, who arrived at the crossing shortly after the smash-up occurred. Johnston's car was badly wrecked, he said. The windshield was partly smagh- ed while a hole in the top of the car indicated that the driver's body had been hurled through the top. ox. Johnston, of Janetville, told of identifying the body of the fatally injured man as his bro- ther. The results of the post-mortem were given the jury by Dr. 0. CG Mills while Dr. H, M: MasDpnald told of attending to. the injured man in the Oshawa Fospital Death wag ascribed to shock, hem. orrhage and concussion, In summing up the evidence Dr. Holg pointed out that motorists travelling on the main roads often feel that they have no responsibil. ity toward those approaching from side-roads whereas this was a false and dangerous assumption. Crown-Attorney J. A. McGibbon assisted materially at the inquest by assisting the jurors in ques- tioning the witnesses. Members of the jury included Fred B. Seaver, J. R.: Barrett, Walter Ham Hays, Gordon F, Cragg, Thos. Seaton and J. R.

CONSERVATIVES LOSE AND GAIN Labor Candidate Has Big Majority in East Hamil. ton--Conservative Won in Three Rivers, Quebec Hamilton, Aug. 11--Labor's colors were carried to victory yesterday, when 'Ald. Humphrey Mitchell swept the East Hamilton riding and decisively defeated M. M. "Bobby" Robinson, Conservative, in a three- cornered fight. The complete official returns were as follows: Mitchell, Labor, 10,873. Robinson, Conservative, 7,177. Connor, Independent, 443, The majority for Mitchell over Robinson was 3,696 and over Con- nor. 10430. Having failed to poll half the total of the winning can- didate the Independent forfeited his deposit, employment was made the is- sue in the campaign and the Oppo- sition attributed Labor's strength to the fact that hundreds in the riding were either out of work or were on short time or receiving reduced wages. In Three Rivers Three Rivers, Que, Aug 11-- By the margin of 251 votes, the Federal' constituency of Three Rivers-St. Maurice reiurned a Conservative yesterday for the first time since 1900.

Both candidates rolled up more than 10,000 votes in their hard- fought contest. Early in the even- ing the count for the city showed Mr. Bourgeois well in the lead, but as rural polis reported the re- sult became more and more un- certain, At 9 p.m., two hours af- ter. the polis closed, it looked like a Liberal victory. Excitement ers "as the last villages to report turned in majorities for Mr, Bourgeois. Late reports jndicated the Con- servative candidate swept the city of Three Rivers by a majority of 972 while. the Liberal majority in Shawinigan Falls was reduced to 480 from the former figure of 1,001, Liberals maintained a long lead in nearly all rival sections, A few Conservative in the remot- est districts gave Mr. Bourgeois his victory at the last minute.

Brockenshire was sentenced to be hanged on Sept. In one of LS: briefest state ments ever made in a judgment of this kind, Chief Justice Sir William Mulock rose from his seat on the bench and told the crowded court room 'The appeal is dismissed. Reasons will be given out by the Registrar later today.' In that announcement the crowd in the court room and the five judges who heard the appeal the Chief Justice and Justices Magee, Orde, Fisher and Maston, filed out. Although the reasons for the judgment were not available it is understood the judgement was unanimous, thus precluding an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada: STREETS T0 HAVE WARLIKE NAMES; Simcoe and King to Disap- pear Temporarily, Re- placed by "Plugstreet" or "Suicide Road" When the delegates to the On- tario Provincial Convention of the Canadian Legion, to be held here from Aug. 25'to 28, arrive in the city they will be greeted by many signs which are reminiscent of war days in the trenches. For the time being the various street names--King Street, Sim- coe Street, and so on--will be eli- minated, and in their places will appear the names of many of the famous, or notorious, roads of the trench areas in Belgium and France, Part of the decorative scheme which is being worked out by the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Legion, consists of street signs bearing such names as "Plug street," "Suicide Road," " *"'Hell- Fire Corner," "V.C. Road,' "Sau- sage Valley,' "Kruistraat," "Rail- way Dugouts," and so on--names quite familiar during the hectic days over there.

When spoken to by The Times regarding reports that he is call- ing a meeting of the Liberal mem- bers of the Ontario Legislature Assembly on Friday or Satur of this week, W. E. N. Sine K.C., Leader of the Opposition in the Ontario House, stated that he had no knowledge of any stich meeting. "We are calling a meeting of the Liberal members, but it is not on Friday or on Saturday as it happens," said Mr, Sinclair. "We often have such meetings and I' can see no good reason why 'T thould announce the date, time, or place through the public press; especially in view of the fact that people appear to be in such a cons' troversial mood." Asked for his comment on the rumor, said to have emanated from Kitchener, to the effect that he may tender his resignation as House Leader of the party in Ons tario, Mr. Sinclair stated, "Of that I know nothing. I am not cons templating any such action, It curious that such a rumor shou! have started in Kitchener and n Oshawa. I am an Oshawa nan; fu a Kitchener man."
