Leader of Ontario Liberals at Kiwanis Club Dinner | W. E. N. Sinclair, leader of the Liberâ€" al cpposition in the Ontario Legislaâ€" ture, and members of the party with him on the tour now being made of the North Land, were the guests of honour at a dinner given by the Timmins Kiâ€" wanis Club in the main dining room of the Empire hotel on Tuesday evening of this week. In addition to the memâ€" bers of the Kiwanis Clu», there were a number of the prominent Liberals from the town and district, those from out of town including: C. V. Gallagher, reeve of Tisdale; T. McDonald, reeve of Matheson; Jos. McGuire, former Labâ€" our candidate in this riding; and many others. Large Gathering Hears Nonâ€"Political Addresses by W. E. Sinclair and Members of Party with Him on Tour of the North. Visitors Very Enthusiastic About the Future of the North Land. The tables were attractively set and an excellent menu provided. About 70 or 75 attended the event, which proved a pleasing occasion. President W. Rinn, of the Kiwanis Club, ocupied the chair, and carried proceedings along very effectively There were community songs enjoyed by all, while a special feature of the evening was the gifted singing of Mr. W. Mitchelli, whose vocal solos and magnificent voice, roused the greatest enthusiasm. He was given very hearty encores. Geo. S. Drew, mayor of Timmins, in a neat speech welcomed the visitors to town. He believed that the tour would be helpful to the North and to the visitors alike, increasing the knowledge of both on matters of imâ€" portance and making for the right sort of feeling between Old and New Ontario. The mayor referred to the problems of the towns of the North where growth was so rapid and where provision had to be made on the shortâ€" est notice for health safeguards, fire protection and the conveniences and advantage of modern city life, the work having to be done in a very few years in comparison to the time available to Old Ontario towns in the same matters. The mayor wished the visitors the most pleasant of, visitors here, and hoped they would carry away the most agreeâ€" able recollections of the town and peoâ€" ple, as well as facts and figures about the town and country. FORMER GOLF PRO HERE â€"DROWNED IN ROUYN LAKE Mr. A. F. Kenning, M.P.P., in introâ€" ducing the visitors, paid special comâ€" pliment to Mr. Sinclair, who enjoyved the respect of all in the Legislature. "We may differ in politics," said Mr. Jack Christian Met Sad Death | Week, When Dynamite in Expioded. John Christian, who was golf profesâ€" sional at the Timmins Golf Club for a couple of years, leaving here in 1927, met death on Tuesday of last week in Pelletier Lake at Rouyn. The sad story of the accident is told by The Rouyn News as follows:â€""A very reâ€" gretable accident occurred last Tuesday PAID CIRCULATION LAST WEEK 2815 at Pelletier lake, when Jack Christian, popular Rouyn youth, was drowned. It sems that Christian and C. C. Bailey, also of Rouyn, were dynamiting fish from their canoe. They were in the act of throwing in a stick of the exâ€" plosive when it accidently exploded deâ€" molishing the canoe. Mr. Bailey statâ€" ed to the Rouyn News that he was thrown out of the boat which was about 90 feet from shore, and although injured about the head and chest, was able to get to shore. However, he was unable to find any trace of his comâ€" panion and it is believed that Christian suffered the full charge of the dynaâ€" mite. Mr. Bailey rushed back to Rouyn to bring assistance and to reâ€" ceive medical attention. Up to the time of going to press all efforts to locate the body by dragging operations have been without avail. The .late Jack Christian was ~an employee of Crawford Faulkenham and was well known in Rouyn." During the two years that he spent in Timmins Jack Christian made many friends here, and there was very gener. al regret at his untimely death. It was only a few days previously that he had been visiting in Timmins where he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. K. Eyre. Hosts of friends here greeted him on that visit, and because he was him on that visit, and DEeCcause no wWwi in fine health none dreamed that } should so soon pass away. The la: Mr. Christian came to Timmins fro the Glendale Golf Club at Hamilton. MONTHLY MEETING LEGION, MONDAY EÂ¥ENING, JUNE 1% The monthiy meeting of Timmins Post Canadian Legion will be held in the Oddfellows‘ hall, Timmins, on Monday evening, June 17th.

Mr. Sinclair‘s criticism was always constructive, Mr. Kenning said, and though there might be difference of opinion on matters political, there was no one who doubted either the good faith or the sincerity of Mr. Sinâ€" clair. Mr. Sinclair was given a hearty greeting by the gathering when he rose to speak. He thanked the mayor and the local member for their kind words, and also extended his appreciation to the Kiwanis Club for the invitation to be present. Without introducing party politics Mr. Sinclair said he wished to reply to some remarks made by Preâ€" mier Ferguson at a recent nonâ€"political gathering. "It was the opening of an airport," said Mr. Sinclair, "so I supâ€" pose you could expect there would be lots of air there." Hon. Mr. Ferguson had accused him, he continued, of tourâ€" ing Northern Ontario without a pilov and of "being in peril on the sea." Mr. sinclair said tre Government would have gladly loaned him a pilot but he wanted to see for himself. He had found no perils in this country, but only the kindliest welcomes and the finest usage from the good people of the North. There was a certain advantage in being in the opposition. He felt that in all the complaints he might hear about grievances that the people might have that he was freed of the responsibility for any of these troubles. He spoke of the progress of North Land towns like Timmins and the immense extent of this New Ontario, which was four times the size of the older part of the province. Touching on the North Land‘s wealth of minerals, timber, and fish and game, and the remarkable possibilities in reference to agriculture, Mr. Sinclair pictured a wonderful fuâ€" ture for this country. He saw the necessity and the reasonableness of a "Northern Ontario consciousness,‘ and concluded his address with praise for service clubs and the heartiest good wishes for Timmins and the North Land and their progress and happiness. He praised the T. N. O. for what it had done for the development of the North and hoped it would help the town and district to still further developâ€" ment. Kiwanian A. W. Lang introduced Mr. (Continued on Page Eight) FIRST ROUND OF THE BOXER CUP ON SATURDAY, JU" The first round of the series of the Boxer Cup will open at the Timmins athletic grounds on Saturday of this week. when the Lancashires play the Ssons of England. The kickâ€"off will be ;t 6.15. The Sons of England have strengthened their team recently and will put up a good battle on Saturday. On Sunday the first of the" outside motorists began to reach Timmins in numbers for this season. There were dozen of cars here on Sunday from a distance. One car reaching here came all the way from Chicago, and was the first to reach this part of the North from so distant a centre. There were Many Outside Motorists Reached Here on a couple of cars from Toronto, as well as one from Ottawa. A car from Cochâ€" rane and another from Kirkland Lake added to the number from outside the Porcupine. There were several motorâ€" ists here from Iroquois Falls. All reâ€" ported the roads as pretty good with the exception of the strip from Conâ€" naught to Golden City. A Sudbury taxi was among the several cars reachâ€" ing here on Sunday. with the roads greatly improved in the last few days, and getting better each day, it may be expected that there will be a goodly inâ€" fiux of visiting motorists from the sauth in the coming weeks. This week Mrs. N. C. Mansell,, of Iroquois Falls, accompamoci by her daughter, Mrs. Campbell, of Detroit, and sons, Kenâ€" neth and Leighton, spent Sunday with friends in town. expected that there will be a goodly inâ€" fiux of visiting motorists from the south in the coming weeks. This week there was a large force of men nut on the bad strips of road by the Northern Development Department, and it is safe to say that in a day or so the whole road will be very good.

Those who have attended Legion dances in the past know the special quality of the refreslhnments served by the ladies, and on this occasion they say that they intend to excel themselves. Another special feature of the event will be the music which will be supplied by Burton Holland‘s Canadian Legion orâ€" chestra, and he promises to give all those attending a very attractive proâ€" gramme of dance music.

The contending teams will be the Dome Juniors and the Timmins Juniors The match should be a very interâ€" esting one. The Dome this year has a greatly improved team, some of the Porcupine hockey experts being eligible for junior baseball and having considerable reputation as ball players. In South Porcupine and at the Dome there is a general feeling that the Dome Juniors this year are going to give a very marked account of themselves and that Timmins Juniors will have to exâ€" tend themselves to win, if they can do it even then. On the other hand, Timâ€" mins Juniors were the Provincial finâ€" alists, last year and are looking for Exâ€"Mayor Longmore 40 Pitch First Ball, with Acting Mayor A. G. Carson, at Bat higher honours this year. The most of the meimbers of the 1928 team are still on deck and see no reason why they shouldn‘t show even better form than‘ last year. Timmins this year has a new catcher and expect great things from him. For the opening match on Friday this week, Mr. E. L. Longmore, exâ€"mayor of Timmins, has kindly consented to pitch the first ball. Councillor A. G. Carâ€" son, acting mayor of Timmins during the absence of Mayor Drew, has also kindly consented to stand up at bat and swat anything the former mayor throw over. There should be a big crowd out for this game. Schumacher Man Took Carbolic Acid and Died Geo. Henry Herman, of First avenue, schumacher, died on Sunday of this week as the result of carbolic acid poisâ€" oning. It is thought that in a fit of deâ€" spondency the unfortunate man used the poison to end his troubles. He was about 65 years of age and was well liked by all who knew him. He had reâ€" sided in the North for some years and had a large number of friends who will be deeply grieved at his death. So far as known he had no relatives in this country, and brooding recently over his loneliness may have given rise to the despondent frame of mind that resilted in his death. It is underâ€" stood that a brother resides in Michiâ€" gan. The remains were taken to Toâ€" ronto this week to be buried alongside his wife who died some time ago. Much interest was taken last night by many in the drilling of a company of about twenty members of the Algonâ€" quin Rifles. The drilling was at the side of the town hall, and the soldiers looked well and showed aptitude at the drill. These men are the contingent from Timmins and district who will go with the Algonquin Rifles to this year‘s camp. NT MEMBERS OF BRITAIN‘S NEW CABINET acDonald Cabinet.

Firemen Called to Take Naked Man off Hotel Roof The fire department had an unusual run on Tuesday afternoon being called to the Kingston hotel to take a naked man off the roof to avoid him falling off or jumping off. When the firemen reached the hotel with the ladder truck the man had come down of his own accord, so the brigade was not tested out in this particular form of rescue work. They were ready, howover, for any eventualities. The man was a visitor to town from Sudbury and, whether through too much liquor or otherwise, was not exactly himself. He alarmed all by a sudden desire to walk the roof in Adam‘s original garb. It was feared that just as Adam fell, so this man might also fall, so the police were notified and in turn enlisted the services of the fire brigade. In the meantime the visitor decided to come off the roof and was taken in charge by friends. He made recovery this week and was able to return to his home. Gasoline Price War Now In Progress in Timmins Timmins motorists are at present enâ€" joying a gasoline war, prices being cut to levels not hoped for nor expected. Gas is now available as low as 26 and 27 cents and motorists are getting more mileage to the dollar than for several year. The war is said to have resulted from one firm going below the prices agreed upon by the garages and other dealers and other firms taking up the battle and the war was on. The motorâ€" ists are not anxious for this war to end, and it is doubtful if the oil comâ€" panies are for they are selling perhaps a little more than usual and they have not cut prices, the war being confined to the garages and service stations. Court Dismisses Appeal er New Trial for Ivanchuk Second Divisional Court Judges Consider New Trial Not Justified. â€" "Trial Eminently Fair," Says Chief Justice Latchford. Ivanchuk Sentenced to Hang June 21st for Murder of Inspector Constable at Cochrane in 1926. The appeal on behalf of John Ivanâ€" chuk, who was sentenced by Mr. Jusâ€" tice Wright at Cochrane in April, to hang on June 21st for the murder of Inspector Constable in 1926, was disâ€" missed by the Second Divisional Court at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, on Monday of this week. Accordingly, except in the rather unexpected event of a reâ€" prieve or other executive clemency hbeâ€" ing extended, Invanchuk will be hangâ€" ed at Haileybury on Friday of next week, June 2l1st. According to the despatches received from Toronto in the matter Chief Justice Latchford said that the appeal failed on all the grounds set out which were mainly misapprehension and imâ€" proper rgejection of evidence and an improper charge by the trial jJudge. The appeal court found that the trial judge‘s charge to the jury was eminâ€" ently fair. Evidence against the priâ€" soner was positive, the chief justice said. Among the grounds of appeal were a claim that the jury did not give the prisoner benefit of reasonable doubt. as commercial traveller, and his adâ€" dress as Montreal. This witness had voluntarily made an affidavit to the efâ€" fect that he was with the prisoner, Ivanchuk, whom he knew as "Cobalt," for about an hour on the night of the murder, and as this hour was from 11.15 to about midnignt, it would have been impossible for Ivanchuk to have committed the murder unless De Reâ€" pentigny had mistaken the time. A feature of the appeal was the presâ€" ence in court at Toronto of E. De Reâ€" pentigny, whose occupation was given Chief Justice Latchford pointed out that other witnesses had testified as to an alibi for Ivanchuk and the jury did not see how one more man could help. "I do not propose to look at Reâ€" pentigny‘s affidavit, as I do not think it is proper for us to do so," said His Lordship. A G. Slaght, K. C., counsel for Ivanâ€" chuk, said it was not possible for counâ€" sel or the accused, prior to the trial, to have known of the existence of this evidence. It was a very vital piece of evidence he thought. JUDGMENT RESERVED IN THE BREWER APPEAL CVASE "There is no doubt," the chief justice aid, "about the fact of the murder or he manner in which it was commitâ€" At Cochrane this week Judge Caron reserved judgment in the appeal of W. C. Brewer against the conviction in police court on a charge of the sale of liquor. The magistrate imposed a sentence of four months, and appeal was entered against this. A,. C. Brown appeared at Cochrane for the appelant. Many Boys Joining With the New , On Mondsy evening of tMis week the boys between the ages of ten and twelve and those between twelve and fifteen years, held meetings in the town hall in connection with the recently formed Timmins Boys‘ Athletic Assoâ€" ciation. About 175 boys turned out to the meetings and they showed all sorts of interest and enthusiasm. Many of them paid their fees for the club. It is specially desired to have all the fees in by June 20th if possible. Fees may be paid by the year or by the quarter as best suits the boy. Any lad who can pay before the 20th should do so. Anyâ€" one unable to raise the fee required chould see the secretary, P. T. Moisley, who will arrange matters. While it is desired that the small fee set by the bovs themselves should be paid if at desired that the small fee set by the boys themselves should be paid if at all possible, it is not the wish to have any lad out of the game just because the fee is not available. Any lad who finds he cannot produce the fee should see the secretary at once. There are likely to be some interesting announceâ€" ments to be made in regard to tgle sports for the younger boys this seaâ€" son. At present it may be repeated that the younger boys all appear to favour softbail, and it looks as if this game, would be the popular one for those un to twelve years of age. DEATH OF MRS W. LEDUC Ox TUESDAY OF LAST WEEK Mrs. Leduc, wife of Mr. Wilfred Leâ€" ] duc, Main avenue, died at the hospital here on Tuesday of last week, death being due to heart trouble. In addition to the bereaved husband, three childâ€" ren survive, and to these will be exâ€" tended the sincere sympathy of all. The late Mrs. Leduc was a daughter of Mr. Jos. Goulet, of town, and had many friends who will deeply regret her death. At the time of death she was only 26 years of age. The funeral took place on Thursday last, requiem high mass being said at St. Anthony‘s church. The attendance at the funeral was large, and there were many floral and spiritual offerings.

PAID CIRCULATION LAST WEEK 2815 3 Sections â€" 20 Pages One despatch from Toronto covers this feature of the case as follows:â€" | â€"Chief Justice Latchford: "Two or | three witnesses were heard. They tried \ to establish an alibi and the jury did | not believe them. How can one more man help?" Mr. Slaght said Ds Repentigny had made an affidavit and was prepared ‘to testify that he was with Ivanchuk ‘at the time the constable was shot outside the door of his home. 1 Chief Justice: "Speaking for myself I do not propose to look at the affiâ€" davit or to examine Mr. De Repentigny or to allow him to be examined. Justice Mages: "I‘ve read the aftiâ€" davit. It says he was chatting with the usccused for about an hour that night. Surely the accused knew that." Mr. Slaght: "If he knew it he had Mr. Slaght: "If he knew it he had forgotten." Justice Orde: "The accused gave eviâ€" dence. He ought to have known." Mr. Slaght: "Mr. De Repentigny is a traveller and came forward on his own account. He has no possible interest." Chief Justice: "It may be a matter for consideration by the Minister of Justice, but not by this court. It is so easy to swear to an alibi when it‘s totally wrong. What may be right on the same time on some date may be totally wrong at that time on that date." Another despatch refers to the fact that Ivanchuk is a native of that part of Austria which is now a part of Rouâ€" mania. He is 42 years old and has a wife and a 17â€"yearâ€"old daughter in Europe. The despatch continues:â€" "I think the trial was eminently fair," said Chief Justice Latchford. "The evidence was positive and the judge left it to the jury to decide whether it should be believed or not. I notice that the judge pointed out to the jury that if they had a reasonable doubt they were bound to give him the benefit of the doubt. His Lordship deprecated the value of the new alibi evidence presented by the defence counsel at the appeal. "The ease with which evidence of an alibi is procurable is one reason why it is looked on with suspicion because all that is wrong with an alibi is the matâ€" ter of time, place and person," he de~â€" clared EMILIO MION LOSES LIFE IN BLASTI WNT Fatal Accident at Vipond Last Thursâ€" day. Funeral Very Largely Attended. Emilio Mion, young man who has lived in Timmins for some years, and who was well liked and highly regarded, lost his life in a blasting accident at the Vipond Mine on Thursday last. Mion and a partner were engaged in loading ore cars underground and found it necessary to blast a large rock in the progress of their work. The partner says that almost as soon as the fuse was lit from Mion‘s lamp the exâ€" plosion occurred. Neither of the two men had any chance to get to safety. The explosion broke the large rock to pieces and Mion received much of the force of the explosion. His partner was showered with fiying rock but though suffering some minor injuries he was not seriously hurt. Mion was killed inâ€" stantly. The partner was able to walk home after receiving first aid. The late Emilio Mion was a native of Italy and at the time of death was about 28 years of age. He is survived by a young wifte and one child two years old, and to these bereaved ones the sympathy of all will be extended in their sad loss. The funeral on Saturday morning to St. Anthony‘s R. C. Church was one of the most largely attended neld here for secme time, the Italian society and other societies attending in a body, and large numbers of friends of the late Mr. Mion following the remains to the church and to the cemetery as the last sad mark of their esteem. There was a profusion of beautiful flowers, expresâ€" sive of the regard felt for the deceased and the sympathy extended to those bereaved by the tragic accident. Following the law in regard t mine acicdents, an inquest into death will be held. bury, Mr. and Mrs. F. L.
