N"'"""""""""" (Continued From Page One) is to any recommendations by Krancoâ€" vich. Ivan Krancovich said that he had never received money for securing jobs for men. Herman had told him that he was up against it and his family was starving and he had appealed to him (Krancovich) to help him get a job. He was never paid any money, he said, and he never gave any enâ€" velope as described. He said he had never offered money to anyone not to zive evidence. The money he had paid back to Chircosky (the man mentioned by Herman) was money that Krancoâ€" vich had belonging to this man. ‘"You are agent for steamship companies," Mr. Kester commenced, but the judge thought this too suggestive beginâ€" ning for a question in this connection. H. Huckabone, employment agent at the Hollinger, said that Krancovich had nothing to do with the employing of men for the me1n. The witness said he had never réceived any envelope such as described by Herman. He sait it was a common practice for men to come with recommendations or pieces of paper on which notes might be made. He had never hired men on the recommendation of Krancovich. On one occasion when men could not be secured to go to Amos, he had asked Krancovich to get the men, which was done. That was this spring. It hapâ€" pened only the once. Canadian has left Canada : Mr. Kester held that the evidence did not convict Krancovich of .tl;le charge against him. The evidence of Mrs. Krango was not corroborated, he said, nor was that of Budarick. He did nor think the evidence was such as to warâ€" rant conviction. He pointed out that the charge suggested that Krancovich was carrying on business as an employâ€" ment agent and to prove this it was necessary to show a number of cases where he had secured employment for men. Even if one or two or three cases were proven that was not enough in law to sustain the charge, It would be necessary to show that Krancovich hac made a business of acting as an \!~ empioyment agent. Mr. Kester quotec has left for Germany Canada at a Confere the representatives of â€" ernments to consider accounts arising out of a number of cases where it was shown that one or two breaches of a law like the Employment Agency Act did not constitute a breach of the act in the eyes of the law. Mr. Kester referred to the evidence given by Mrs. Kangro in which she had said she did not know how much was to be paid and othe? discrepancies he felt were in the eviâ€" dence. He asked for the granting of the appeal. Judge Caron briefly pointed out that the evidence seemed sufficient to conâ€" vict; he considered enough cases had been proved to justify the charge; and he accordingly dismissed the appeal, sustaining the decision of the magisâ€" trate.

While drawing a load of sheaves to the thresher a team driven by a Bluevale district farmer commenced to balk and wouldn‘t move. He hit upon the idea of igniting a sheaf of grain behind the team in an endeaver to make them conâ€" tinue their journey. The sheaf was lit, the team felt the heat and movedâ€" about two or three feetâ€"just sufficient to allow the burning sheaf to ignite the wagon and load of sheaves, which was destroyed by fire. GOES TO GERMANY cretary of S Germany to i _ Conference atives of the State, who o represent ce between ie two Govâ€" outstanding the war. DELIGHTFUL TIME SPENT AT THE GORNISH SMOKER Programme at Saturday‘s Night‘s Event Remarkable for Its Interest, Variety and Excellence. Music, Boxing Dancing, Smokes, Eats and Everything. A delightful time was spent at the annual smoker of the Cornish Football Club held in the St. Anthony‘s parish hall on Saturday even.mg. ‘The memâ€" bers of the Cornish Club and a few invited guests were present, making a goodly crowd, all enjoying every minute of the evening. Jack Parkyn presided for the occasion, welcoming the guests and directing the programme in very able way. From last year‘s event everyone expected a very happy time and no one was disappointed. The proâ€" gramme was a succession of delights. Songs and instrumental music by R. Lowery and R. Spanton brought down the house and resulted in encore after encore. Mr. Lowery played the guitar and Mr. Spanton the violin, and they: can play. Mr. Lowery‘s songs, grave, gay, sentimental, humourous, were all exceedingly well done. He has a fine voice and an inimitable manner of his own and every selection went over in bisg way. His catchy music with two spoons as his only instruments brought uproarious applause. It was specially pleasing novelty carried through very cleverly. Another big feature was the singing of the Schumacher Male Choir quartette, Messrs Jago, Docking, Bawâ€" den and Thoms. With fine voices, well trained and blending perfectly, they | gave a number of melodious gems that | were a genuine joy to all. Another outâ€" | standing musical number was the wellâ€" presented cornet solo by Carl Johns. Humorous songs by Mr. McMillan were great favourites. The songs were good themselves and he gave them in irresisâ€" table way. He was a very popular arâ€" tist on the programme. W. H. Wilson gave material assistance to the proâ€" gramme by his work as accompanist at the piano. dsmm mm mm ons One of the delights of the very pleasâ€" ing luncheon served was the serving of hot pasties, this Cornish delicacy being as popular with ordinary folks as it :18 with the Cornish people themselves. There was a generous supply of cigars and cigarettes. Other special features of the evening included boxing and wrestling bouts. J. A. Faithful was referee for the boxâ€" ing and Capt. D. Jones, the timekeeper. The opening bout Frenchy Morris vs. Donat Richards was one well worth watching. Frency had the size, muscle and experience, but Donat put up a fine battle and seemed to have the eage on the boxing. Wadasworth and Ranger put up a nice bout, Wadsworth having the better of it all along. The other bout was between Donac and David Kerr, a Scottish champion. This was a lively bout in which Kerr showed fine form. All the boxing was much enjoyed. The wrestling was a special feature of the evening. In the Westmoreland and Cumberland style of wrestling. Messrs Lowery and Weir gave very interesting demonstration. Both men are experts and the winners of many championships in wrestling and their bouts were followed with the keenest attention. Mr. Lowery introduced the wrestling by a brief explanation of the Westmoreland and Cumberland type of wrestling and its special points of exâ€" cellence and good sportsmanship, words that were fully borne out by the bouts that followed. He also said few words about the honours won by his friends, Sergt. Weir in the field of sport. TOO SICK FOR SCHOOL, BUT wWENT TO ATTEND THE SHOW ies en mm e es se i C One afterncoon this week the chief of police found a couple of youngsters ready to enjoy the show at the theatre during school hours. Youngsters are not supposed to miss school for the show and the chief‘s expression was along the line of "How come?"" Then there was produced a letter intended for the box office explaining that the parents were agreeable to the children attending the show, and giving the reaâ€" son for their being out of school. This note might have been satisfactory to the box office, but the chief didn‘t like it at all, because the reason given for the children not being at school was that. they were too ill to attend the classes. Everyone has seen youngsters that have occasional illnesses when they feel utâ€" terly unable to endure classes, but few people have seen child too i11 to go to a show. The chief is not in sympathy with this idea of the differâ€" ence between school and other pleasâ€" ures, and suggests to the parents conâ€" cerned and to all others that children are not supposed to go to the show aurâ€" ing school hours at all, and also that youngsters too ill for school should be kept at home. The law, he explains, is quite strict in the matter of childâ€" ren attending shows, requiring the atâ€" tendance also of a parent or guardian to accompany the youngsters. Chief McLauchlan thinks that with the opening of school again, it would be well for all youngsters and tpeir parâ€" ents to understand the requirements of the law and live up to the provisions of the same and so avoid all unrleasâ€" antness.
