Last night Aurelle Legendre, Leo Legendre, Clifâ€" ford Parent ang Valors Legendre were taken into custody and charged with being concerned :n the thefts from Eaton‘s. The Iccal manager of Eaton‘s had a surprise when informed of the arrests and the recovery of some of the goods, as the thefts had been cleverly‘ concealed. threugh a system said to1 have been carried through with the asâ€" sistance of one of the accused in the employ of Eaton‘s. The raids were part of the policy of the police to clean up the town and further activity is expected in this line. In addition to those noted in the aâ€" bove raids, Provincial Constable Preâ€" torius has a charge of keoping a bawdy house and also a white slavery charge against A. Morin, Mountjoy township. Henry Lanthieu is also charged by the provincial police with keeping liquor for sale. In addition to all these there are also two other charges of selling liquor (John Radick and Mike Ayoub) remanâ€" ded from last week to come before court this week. ‘The docket this week will be a big one indeed. It is likely, however that the majority of the cases will be remanded. Young Man Arrested tor â€" Thetts from Groceteria Some of the Stolen Goods Traced by the Police.

Police haqg been "keeping an eye" on the young men concerned because they seemed to be spending money more freely than warranted by their earnâ€" ings. Last night Chief Paul and Sergt. Balley, who had*some information in the matter. approached the young men in their‘ homes and after prolonged questioning the young men admitted the thefts and explained how the goods were taken. Aurelle and Valcrs Leâ€" gendre were employed at Eaton‘s and Aurelle took the groceries and gave them to Leo to sell. He said he had been taking as much as a bag of sugar every three weeks for a year and a half past. Valors had been employed inâ€" Eaton‘s basement for five and a half years. It is said that Morin paid by cheque and that the police are in posâ€" session of some of these documents. ‘The goods recovereq by the police are worth at least $50.00 and will be used in evidence against the young men, whose ages range from 20 to 23 years.

Charges of reâ€" ceiving stolen goods will likely be laid against at least some of those who reâ€" ceived the goods taken, some of them having practically admitted to the police that they ~knew the good were evening meeting. A notice in the post office states that supplementary collections will be made from the inside letter receiver as condiâ€" ticns warrant. That is, collections after 11,30 cannot be guaranteed but if all possible letters and parcels are posted early in the morning there will be more time at the disposal of the postal clerks to attend to late mail.. The Kiwanis meeting this week, as noted in last week‘s Advance, will be held on Wednesday evening at the new quarters in the Legion building, and The public is therefore asked to place letters in the receivers as carly as posâ€" sible in the morning.

The principle, however, seems to te to have conditions equal to the requirements of the law, and not to secure convictions for breaches of the act. This plan has worked well and has done much to keep conditions in factories and stores ‘as safe and pleasant as possible. It will take the inspector three or four days to check up cn the small factories and stores here. Some of the restaurants have been warned in regard to working girls after midnight or more than 60 hours a week. The most of them obey the law in this rapect and the local police see to it that those disregarding the law will be prosecuted. The law in this regard is that no girl in stores or restaurants may be forced to work more than ten homsmanyonedayormretbanm hours in any one week. . | R. Albrough, factory inspector under the provincial government factory act, was in Timmins last week for several days carrying out the details of his work. He makes two or three visits each year to the North to inspect the factories and shops of the North. He has nothing to do with the mines and as these are the biggest factories in the North the inspector‘s duties are not as neavy as they would be in another town of similar size. Conditions in Timmins are good in factories and shops, but still the inspection is very necessary and advantageous. All the small facâ€" tories here are checked up by the inâ€" spector who reporis on any conditions that may be considered as dangerous or prejudicial to health. The stores are similarly visited and conditions and hours noted. In case of any breach of the regulations the inspector leaves a nctice with the proprietor of the facâ€" Inspects Small Factories and Shops.â€" Finds Conditions Good Here.

It is not easy to understand why the Ansonville and Kirkland Lake men are classed under the heading of Temiskaâ€" ming, both these towns being in Cochâ€" rane Jjudicial district.

The 10,000 Jjustices appointed since 1904 are to give way under the new scheme. Hon. Mr. Roebuck said that the position of justice of the peace is no longer to be honorary but one of great responsibility. A small honorarium is to be granted. Mayors, aldermen, reeves, of cities, towns and townships will still retain their powers as justices of the peace, and commissioners will still be entitled to take affidavits, the Attorneyâ€"Genâ€" eral said.

The others were chimney fires; 162 Birch Street south, Box 43, and 104 Wilson Avenue. or a high wind will start the creosote going," he told The Advance. They are not usually dangerous fires but homeâ€" owners usually feel safer when they have notified the department. The reason for the large number of chimney fires is given by Fire Chief Jeffrey as the quality of the wood being burned in most homes. When the fuel contains more ‘water than usual, he says the steam and vapors form a creosote on the inside of the pipes. "A warm day comes along, the creosote dries out, and the next day, if it‘s cold almost any kind of a good,fire with the drafts open On Thursday the sme‘ll of smoke in the Goldfields theatre building prompâ€" ted a resident to turn in an alarm. Handiterchiefs, drying over an electric stove, had burned, but there was no other damage. A chimney fire at 44 Wilson Avenue was the only other call. The house is divided into two flats, the upper one of which is occupied by Jack Walker and the lower by Alex. Belec. During the evening, Mr. Belec stoked the furnace and didâ€"a considerâ€" able amount of lifting clinkers so that the poker with which he was working became very hot. The light disguised the fact that the iron was dangerously hot and it was hung up on a cedar post near ‘by. A little later while Mr. Belec and his family were at dinner, they smelled smoke and on investigatâ€" ing found the bark on the cedar post afire. .When Mr. Belec threw a pail of water on the post, the rush of air acâ€" companying it drove the flames up to the ceiling. The fire department scon extinguished the blaze. T‘wo alarms this morning were both for chimney fires, one at 66 Fourth Ave. and the other, at 10.45, at 110 Kirby St. Last night at 11.20 the brigade was called to 117 Pine St., south when box 61 was rung in. It was a chimney fire. In four calls Friday no damage was Pire ~started {from a redâ€"hot poker in the basement of the house at 55 Hemâ€" lock, caused damage of about $125 last night and sm¢ke damage will probably add considerably to that sum.

Mr Stirling will, it is said, also be Acting Minister of Fisheries, Sunday morning around five o‘clock there was a bold burglary at the 8. Bucovetsky store in South Porcupine. The‘thief was seen leaving the store with goods in his arms and he was chased. While the citizen who chased the burglar was unable toâ€" overtake him, the chase had the effect of makâ€" ing the thief drop his armful of goods so that he would be the more likely to get away. The police were on the scene and recovered a quantity of the goods taken; there are still many articles that seem to be missing. It is impossible to state just the ‘quantity of goods taken, but the staff are aware that it is considerable. Stockâ€"taking shows much valuable goods missing from stands and shelves. There is a fair description of the burglar and the police hope to be able to locate him and bring him to punishment, along with any others who may have been connected with him in the crime.
