NO BUYERS FOR CHURCH AT SALE Mortgage ~ Holders Take Over Westdale Church Property Hamilton, Aug. 25--After some effort on the part of an auctioncer to get an offer for the Westdale Presbyterian Church today, it was announced the property was with- drawn from sale. It is understood it now passes into the hands of the mortgage holders, the Royal Trust Co. Today's auction was the clim- ax of a long story in which the fin- ancial backers of the church finally foreclosed.

A mewspaper correspondent saw one striker being carried away, with his body literally riddled by machine-gun bullets. The corres- pondent heard the rat-tat-tat- of bullets as he telephoned his story from a mearby rarm house. This is what he saw: "The main body of striking mi. ners started into Franklin Coun- ty to-night from Duquoin. When they reached this village, about 250 deputies and several hundred other men stopped them, saving: 'You've gone far enough.' "The guards went to each au- tomobile, forcing its occupants out at the point of guns. Then the guards applied torches to the cars. "In an hour almost 200 auto- mobiles were ablaze, lighting the whole countryside. '""Then the strikers began to re- sist, one of them fired a gun. Somebody else fired again. "The battle started about 8.30 p.m., after other detachments of miners engaged in fights at sev- eral other places. "The cavalcade of about 20, 000 was jn thorough disorder. Most of the cars raced to safety in Duquoin, Many cars were turn- ed over in the rush. About 150 more were abandoned in the swamps mear the river."

Last | week's race provided a highly spectacular event, and if weath- er conditions remain favorable, | this week's race should be just as | interesting. Ivan Mackie, with! one first place to his credit, is! leading im the competition, but | the standing might quite easily be upset in the race on Saturday. The same general regulations will prevail as governed last. Sat- urday"s race, although the direc- tion which the: course will take will not be decided until the judges look over the situation on Saturday and figure out the wind conditions. There will be eight dinghies in the race, and points will be allowed on the basis of one point for finishing within the time limit of three hours, and one pint for each dinghy beaten in the race. Thig provides eight points for the first boat, seven for the second, and so on, down to one point for the eighth dinghy to finish with the specified time. These races can be watched quite easily from the shore, and the crowd of spectators is in- creasing with each succeeding Saturday. WITH NEW ZEALAND Minor Changes Have Been Suggested by Two Governments Montreal, Aug. 25--Minor changes in the Canada-New @ealand Treaty, signed in Honolulu about six months ago, have been suggested, Hon. W. Downie Stewart, Minister of Finance for New Zealand, stat- ed here yesterday, while en route to Quebec. "We are as well satisfied as can be expected with the new trade agreement between your Dominion and ours," he said; "as well as can be expected when it is remembered that Canada does not buy nearly as many things from us as we buy from her." "Is there a possibility of changes being made in the agreement?" he was asked. "I had several discussions with Mr. Stevens, your Minister of Com- merce, on this subject," Mr. Stewart answered, "and there has been few changes suggested." He stated they were very minor ones.

Within the last week eight cars of refined copper have been shipped from Copper Cliff, seven of them for export.. Unofficially, it.is report- ed that recent sales have been high- er than at any time since June 21, when the United States tariff of four cents against Canadian and other imports went into effect. Canadian producers of the red metal, long suffering under the in- fluence of adverse prices, aggravat- ed by the United States tariff, see in the proposed tariff preference a definite source of relief for the ap- pressed industry. United Kingdom imports of refined copper last year amounted to nearly 200,000 tons, the great bulk of which was supplied through United States and South American sources. As the probable effect of the new tariff preferences will be to shut out United States and Chile copper completely, indi- cations are that Canadian and Rhodesian producers will have a potential market of between 175,000 and 200,000 tons annually to divide among them. ------ Local Players in Toronto Tournament S.

CHRISTIAN SOCIAL BROTHERHOOD HAS BEEN ORGANIZED Organization Will Hold Meetings in Theatre Sunday Afternoons At a meeting of the executive of the Central Ratepayers' Association, held last night, with a number of other interested citizens in attend- ance, definite steps were taken for organization of the Christian Social Brotherhood of Oshawa, which will start its meetings in the New Mar- tin Theatre on Sunday afternoon, October 2, and will goutinue to meet every Sunday afterndbpgat 2.45 p.m. The purpose of this bramerhood is to bring together the masses of the men of Oshawa ror Sunday after- noon gatherings, planned for the application of the fundamental prin- ciples of Christlan teaching to the problems of the present day. The decision to organize a brother- hood along these lines was reached after a lengthy and interesting dis- cussion on the program to be fol- lowed, in which stress was laid on the part which the natural laws of God, as exemplified in the teachings of Jesus Christ, could play in the re-moulding of the social structure of the world to meet changing con- ditions, Officers Elected The provisional officers of the brotherhood to be confirmed at its as follows: Hon.

LAID TO REST Funeral of Late Leonard Burnett Was Held Yester- day Afternoon Port Perry, Aug. 25.--Mourn- ed by a host of friends, Leonard Burnett, formerly of Greenbank, old Liberal warrior and former M.P. for Ontario South at the be- ginning of the twentieth century, was, following a funeral from his late residence gt 5 Delaware Ave., Toronto, laid to rest in Pine Grove cemetery, Prince Albert, Ontario, yesterday. The funeral service was eom- ducted by the Rev. G. A. Leichli- ter, of College St. Baptist church, assisted by the Rev. J. A, Miller of St. Stephen's United church. The pallbearers were, with the exception of William Ross, ex- M.P. for Ontario South, the rep- resentative who succeeded the late Mr. Burnett in his. riding, neighbors of his when he tilled his farm at Greenbank: T.

OPPOSES BLUE BOOK ON PENSIONS Ottawa, Aug. 25.--Protesting that the publication of a "blue book" containing particulars of all pension awards now being paid under the present act would "undo all the good work.Governments have dome in regard to soldiers' legislation," Major John S. Roper, M.C, K.C, Dominion President of the Cana- dian Legion, has written a strong letter to Hon. Murray MacLaren, Minister of Pensions. In that com- munication the Legion executive assails any such plan as likely to provoke dissatisfaction among ex service men, while not serving the purpose which the Government has in view. That the issue of such a docu- ment would lay the ex:soldier pen- sioners open to victimization and discrimination, is the opinion of Major Roper, who doubts its effi- cacy as a means of curing the so- called "pension frauds." If such frauds exist, the Legion President says," they should be investigated and the guilty parties punished, The laws of Canada provide for such things, and these laws ought to be invoked. Major Roper enumerates a few of the objections voiced against this proposed publication. A "blue book" would adversely affect the employ- ment of pensioners, he says, since "Governments and employers are taking into consideration the amount of pension paid. In the smaller communities the effect on the ex-<ervice men would be dis | " astrous. THEFT SUSPECT GAVE POLICE SENSATIONAL | TRIP ALONG HIGHWAY Edwin Horner Wanted for Theft of Chickens and Potatoes, Arrested at Point of Gun After Fours "teen Mile Chase CONSTABLE THROWN FROM HIS MACHINE Chase Which Began at Newcastle Ended When Homer Was Captured in Downtown Section of Oshawa - Prompt action on the part. of the Oshawa Police under the direction of. Detective-Sergeant H. Flintoff, and excellent work in co-operation with the City Police Department by Provincial Officer E. G. Purvis. this morning resulted in the arrest of Edwin Horner, whose home is in Ottawa, but who is on a visit to his brother in this city, after a. chase which' led from Oshawa to New- castle and back to this city again along King's Highway No. 2. Provincial Officer Purvis, who played one of the stellar roles in the incident, was thrown from his motor-cycle when he drew alongside the car -driven by Edwin Horner on the outskirts of Neweastle when en« deavouring to make the arrest, this being the only casualty suffered by the law enforcement officers. Guns were drawn, but not actually used, on at least three different occasions during the strenuous chase Edwin Horner being eventually taken into custody, when practically surround ed, by the Acting Chief, Sgt. Flin- toff, himself, at the point of a drawn gun in the hands of the Police Sage geant, Over Potato Theft The whole incident was the resus of an- investigation into the report of a theft of seyeral bags of pota- toes in the College Hill district, this report being received from R. H. Fleming. ) In conducting this investigation Constables T. England and D. Foreman visited the home of Lloyd Horner, on College Hill, where they arrested Lloyd on a charge of theft of two bags of potatoes. While the officers were at the house, and during the time that they were questioning Lloyd Horn- er, an automobile, the property of the 'suspected man, was standing outside the home and it was from this car that the two bags of pota- toes, alleged to have been stolen, were taken when the first arrest was made. The officers also noticed boxes of chickens, about which they had no information at the time, in the car. While this portion of the investi- gation was in progress the officers saw a second man, presumably Ed- win Horner brother of Lloyd Horn- er, enter the house but at that time he fiad not been "connected in any (Continued on page 3) Friday Night's Proposed Protest Meeting Has Now Been Definitely Called Off Theres will be no meeting on Friday night in Centre Street Schoo] to' make further protest against the city council's deporta- tion policy. So far as the Central Ratepayers' Association is con- cerned, it is not interested in the meeting as proposed.

Peter Kostur, who took the lead in organizing last Sunday's meeting, also stated that, so fur as he was concerned, there wouid be no meeting on Friday. He was perfectly satisfied, he said witn what had been done at the mest- ing held last night, and with the speeches delivered there, and in- tended to take no further action. He further stated that the come mittee which was appointed on Sunday to arrange for Friday's meeting did not meet on Tuesday, as had been arranged, and that therefore nothing more had been done, Mr. Kostur still felt very keen- Iy the assertion that radicals had 'been, behind ' Sunday's meeting, and reiterated that Communists had had nothing to do with the calling of the meeting, in the ar- ranging of which he had played the leading part.
