Out on Parole but Returned to Prison Haileybury, April 13.â€"Out on parole from a sontence passed in Kirkland Lake on him a little over a year ago for several charges of breaking and enterâ€" in. James Watts, a ycung man still apâ€" parently under 20 years of age, pleaded guilty to three charges cf breaking and enterinz at Englehart in court here on Friday last and was sen:t pack to the Ontario reformatcory for a term of two years less ons day.

Mconshine whiskey with a 46 per. ecnt. alcoholic content was responsible tor Mendoza Blanchard getting a fine of $100 and costs or three months. On a raid made by Sergeant V. Reid ard Constable R. O. Stromberg the "hecch" was located by the officers in three different places in the hcuse of the accused at North Cobalt. Therc was also a bottle of beer that was not rccounted for to the satisfaction of the officers. The ccupants of the house explained that the mconshine had heen brought to the house by a son of the family shortly before the raid when he lhad come back from a lumber camp cn the Montreal River while a daughter had brought the beer for the use of the mather when she was sick., Ancther charge of theft against the accused was dismissed. He had been: charged with taking some storm winâ€" dacws from a house belonging to the commission of the Township of Bucke. Put the house that he occupiea was also the property of that organâ€" izration, and the windows were on the house and so the case fell flat. Joseph Stevenson haled his former employer H. Melitzer into court on a nonâ€"payment of wages charge and, in great detail proseded to tell the court about it. He claims $73.50, being 1 balance of wages due as he stated at the rate of $15 a month since last Sepâ€" tember less some payments. The deâ€" fence contended and he did not hire the scomplainant for more than one month at this rate giving him his board i: return for his services for the reâ€" maind>r of the time. The contention of the plaintiff was upheld by Magistrate S. Atkinson who did not quite see eye to eye with the prinziple of keeping a man to do work around a farm for his board alone and the claim was allowed. obalt Young Man Does Not Profit from Leniency. ~@ DAYSPECIALS The NEW BEATTY â€" The new Beatty stainless steel tank washer is proving so popular that we are swamped with current models of almost every make of washey.

To the right lay the curvâ€" ing white ribbon of the future railroad. The white smoke from Noranda‘s giant 442â€"foot chimney hung along the earth as far as the eye could reach. Twentyâ€"five minutes had elapsed when the plane banged across the ice of Lac Dubuisson and taxied up to the dock at Siscoe. In two minutes the seats were folded up and the paleâ€"faced patient on the stretcher was slid into Food, Freight, Prisoners, Patients, Transported in North. the craft. Thirty minutes later the ambulance was heading away from the airbase at Norarda to the hospital a few hundred yards distant. And so, within two short hours, two phases of northern fiying hnad bsen seen: police transportation of prisoners to Ville Marie, and ambulance flights. During the next five days four more stretcher cases came in from the mines, patients brought fifty and sixty miles to hospital within an hour of receipt of the emergency call at General Airways office in Rouyn. Ard each call meant a round trip of 100 to 120 miles for the plane. a% (By Ken W. MacTazgart) (Staff Writer, The Globe and Maiu Kelly Edmison‘s plane passed a halfâ€" dozen other aircraft during that trip. A few minutes after his return to the base he went out on the east run; the regular scheduled trip to Sullivan, winâ€" ter terminal point for passengers to Val d‘Or and Barlamaque and the numerous mines that surround these twin towns that have suddenly grown up in a wilderness. There is no railway and there are only casual road routes to these towns. Yet there are three motion picture theatres, one with airâ€"conditioning and the finest upholstered chairs. There is a $90,000 hotel, with the appointments of any city hotel. For sewers and water mains $325,000 has been earâ€"marked this year. There is a newspaper, pubâ€" lished weekly. Within ten minutes, while waiting at Sullivan. six planes arrived with passengers and freight. One was Steâ€" wart Hill, coming in from Amos. J. G. Twist, otherwise known as Pat or J. Ginsberg, and Curt Bogart of Generâ€" al, and Sprad Spradbrowe of Dominion Skyways, were among others. To the northeast at Oskelaneo, Berâ€" nard "Bun" Paget of General and Dave Emory, J. H. "Red" uLymnpurner (Oof Lincoln Ellsworth‘s FPolar dashes) and Nick Carter of Canadian Airways were trying to beat the breakâ€"up with their last loads into the Chibougamau counâ€" try. All on Radic Hcokups All these pilots operated â€" on <radio hockups. Every trip east the General Airways pilots contacted their station at Lac Bousquet,. thirty mlies east oi Rouyn.

Earl Hickson accomâ€" panied Kelly with another plane, carâ€" rying two more men and a canoe strapped to the fuselage of the plane. Until aviation revo‘lutionized transâ€" portaticn in this country, that crew would have stayed in civilization until early June, after the spring breakâ€"up.

Commission Issues Report on Gold Shore Ontario Securities Commission has issued a report on its inquiry into the affairs of Red Lake Gold Shore Mines the main issue being determination ol the question: "Why did the market value of Red Lake Gold Shore stock drop from about $2.40 per share in September, 1936, to 80 cents and lower in February and March, 1937." The evidence disclosed five possible reasons. First, spreading of unfoundâ€" ed rumors that an oficial of the comâ€" pary had absconded. Szcond, the reâ€" port that some directors were selling their own stock. Third, the fact that first gold brick produced was not of the value anticipated. Fourth, the feay that the pool of vendors‘ stock would not be extended beyond April 1, 193%7. Fifth, the misstatement of Robert W. Breuls, Prosident, in a written report Evidence Discloses Five Posâ€" sible Reasons for Decline in Stock. for use in a yearly handbook that ore reserves were approximately 200,000 tons of average grade of .663 ounce per The rumor that the President of the company had absconded was, of coursse, urtrue, but, says the report, "it is imâ€" possible to believe that such a rumor could have a really serious or prolonged effect on the market unless there were other real and legitimate reasons." The report that directors were selling their own stock was proved true, insofar as two directorsâ€"Charles St. Paul and Charles V. Gallagherâ€"were concerned. The former sold 13,000 shares through his nomince Smythe, an officer of the Trusts and Guarantee Co. Presumably, says the report, Mr. St. Paul used Mr. Smythe to effect his sales, so that it would not be realized by brokers that it was his stock. Mr. Gallagher, beâ€" tween Sept. 10, 1936 and March 8, 1937, purchased 1,000 shares and sold 55,900 shares. As far as Dr. Breuls, Harry Newman and Ira Hough, other directors, were concerned, it is quite clear they did not sell any substantial quantities of stock during the period in question. On the contrary, they purchased blocks at very high prices. However, several of Ira Hough‘s relatives sold stock of their own. C.‘ W.. Hough, a brother, of Ira, Hough, between Octobex 1936 and March, 1937, purchased about 6,000 shares and sold about 15,000 shares. He explained that he sold because of the disappointirg news concerning the value of first gold brick and actual ore reserves. Regarding the third reason, it had been announced by directors that it was expected the first gold brick would be worth between $30,000 and $35,000. However. it was worth only $24,000. Robert C. Gamble, prominent broker, explained that he advised his clients to sell Red Lake Shore for that reaâ€" son and because ore reserves were not what they were stated to be. Dr. Breuls did not personally profit by trading ir the market when the stock rose to its high figure, the report reveals. Dr. Breuls, on promotion of the company, acquired 70,000 shares and purchased an additional 40,000 shares in 1935 and carly 1936, giving him total purchases of 110,000 shares. He sold orly 10,000 shares in the summer. ol 1936. From Aug. 29, 1936 to January, 1937, he purchased 28,950 additional shares at prices ranging from current prices in January to $2.40 in September, 1936. During this period he sold only 400 shares. At the present time Dr. Breuls holds approximately 400,000 shares, it is reported. Figure on ore reserves given out at 200.000 tors averaging .633 oz. per ton by Dr. Breuls was a mere personal talâ€" culation. Unfortunately, he did not state that this figure was his own menâ€" tal calculation, or guess, nor did l statzs he had not consulted the comâ€" pany‘s experts concerning the matter, but gave the information as an official proncuncement of the company. The information was wrong and there was no justification for the information in any of Mine Manager W. P. Mackle‘s written reports. In conclusion, the report adds that no criticism can possibly be directed against Mr. Mackle, who appears to have been very careful in his written reports. However, as to the conduct of the directors of the company, it is deemed by the investigator that his duty was to find the facts as they apâ€" pear from the evidence without exâ€" pressing any opinion, either favourable or unfavourable Harvey Graham Son C D‘aa Citrnat N Teleophone 11 6 Pine Street N.
