Chicago Man Thought it All Right to Carry Gun A man giving the name Oof Wm. Thanos, his address as Chicago and his age as 56 years was arrested in Torâ€" onto this week on a charge of illegally carrying a revolver. He landed from a Gray Coach bus and went into the washroocm. While he was cleaning himâ€" self up after the trip a gun dropped trom his pocket. A washroom attenâ€" dant notified the polife that the man was carrying a gun and the arrest foiâ€" leowed. Thanos told the police that he always carried a gun at home in Chiâ€" cago and never thought it was illegal to do so in Canada. Whether he is fined or let go with a warning, the chances are that the gun will be conâ€" fiscated. at least until he returns tO Chicago. The gentleman may need a‘ eun in Chicago but there is no such j need in this country. The law in this | country distinctly discourages the carâ€" rving of guns, and it would be well for visitors from wilder cities like Chicago to be informed of this fact. It might cmmmme smm be a good idea to advertise in Chicago that visitors to Canada have no need for gunsâ€"indeed, so little need for them that a sure way to get into trouâ€" ble is to carry one. Burned Legs Badly at Camp Fire While Sleeping Badly burned about the legs, Weino Paavcla, age about 35, was brought in to Noranda by plane to Youville hosâ€" pital on Friday, May 14, where it is expected he will remain for two or three weeks before fully recoyering. Paavola fell asleep near a camp fire,| in the bush in the region of Val D‘Or, and woke up to find his clothing alight. Before he succeeded in extinguishing the Aames, he suffered severe burns to his legs. It was three or four days before he sought medical help, He is being attended by Dr. E. W. Linklater.

TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 20TH, N/A AV Sudbury Council After Chief Police Sudbury Police Commission, However, Stands For a Square Deal According to Gespatches this week from Sudbury, the Sudbury Police Commission at a special meeting Tuesâ€" day afternoon refused to act on a reâ€" commendation handed it by City Counâ€" cil the previous night that ‘"in view of public opinion we recommend that Chief David Louden be asked to tenâ€" der his resignation, the same to take effect immediately, and that he be givâ€" en a month‘s pay." The motion had been made by Alderman J. H. Lapalmeé, seconded by Alderman J. Cullen. Magistrate J. S. McKessock, Judge E.

Mayor John Rudd termed it maliâ€" cious gossip. In Difficult Position ‘ "There was a lengthy discussion beâ€" fore the motion was passed," he told council. "It appears to me that if pubâ€" lic opinion is so strong we should delve further into this matter and should have a public investigation of the whole Police Department. The chief is in a difficult position. He is damned if he aoces and damned if he does not," Mayâ€" or Rudd said. Remarking that he would not fire his dog on the strength of the weak recommendation handed to the Police Commission by the city council, Magisâ€" trate McKessock moved the following motion: ‘"That if the city council or any members of the council have any speciâ€" fic charges to prefer against Chief David Louden, they submit them to the Commission." The motion was seconded by Judge Proulx and was unanimously carried. May Press for Probe If the Aldermen can back their reâ€" commendation, Mayor Rudd said, he will insist on an investigation and will push it to the point of laying charges i{ necessary. Chief Constable Louden was present at the meeting. "I know where it comes from," he said, regarding the charges which had been made by the city counâ€" cil. "I am ready for an investigation at any time and am not afraid to meet them." The meeting was attended by Mayor Rudd, City Clerk H. P. McKeown, Judge Proulx, Magistrate McKessock and Chief Louden, This comprises the comâ€" plete commission. Mayor Gives Report Mayor Rudd gave the Police Comâ€" mission the following report of what had taken place at the City Council: "I was asked if I was satisfied reâ€" garding the chief and I said that in my belief he was doing his duty and to my knowledge he was doing a good job," said Mayor Rudd. "It came as a shock| t> me when the alderman suggested that public opinion sought his dismisâ€" sal. It appears to me that if public opinion is so strong, we should go furâ€" ther into this matter. If they want a prblic investigation into police activiâ€" ties, I suggest that our activities be thrown wide open. I told the council I was not interested in public opinion unrless it was backed by facts. The poâ€" lice act on facts and evidence, never on public opinion. "I think the chief is conscious of his| position as chief and I think he is capable and efficient. He has always had the support of the Commission in all his activities. During the past few months police activity in Sudbury has! had a decided effect on the morale of the city. The result is that certain inâ€" terests have been hurt and their friends have been hurt, and they have motivated these charges."‘ (From Globe and Mail) / Juniorâ€"Say, Daddy, did Adam have cnly one name?

HONEST ENQUIRY Addam his Published at Timmins, Ont., Canada, Every MONDAY and THURSDAY Named in Honour of Harry A. Preston A circular received from "HMHarry Preston Porcupine Gold Mining Syndiâ€" cate, Age Building, Toronto, shows that Harry A. Preston, who in May, 1909, camped on the shores of Porcupine Lake with the J. Wilson party, and while there discovered the Dome Mines property, now has another gold proâ€" perty named in his honour. Even aiter the development of such mines as the Dome, Hollinger, McIntyre, Buffaloâ€" Ankerite and others, Mr. Preston has maintained that "Porcupine‘s greatest mine has not yet been discovered." By this he did not mean to disparage any of the mines named. Quite the conâ€" trary, for he has consistently been a booster of every good mine in this part of the North. What he meant was that the district, ito his own knowledge, is so rich that the new mines developing and yet to be developed are likely to exceed even the wonderful records of the great mines that have made the Porcupine so great a camp. There will be a genâ€" eral hope that in the Harry Preston Porcupine Mine the greatest dreams Of the man in whose honour it is named ; may come true. At present the property â€"one of a Porcupine group of claims in which Mr. Preston has great faith and be‘iefâ€"is in the syndicate stage. When development of the property has been completed sufficiently to indicate that large expenditures are warranted. for underground development then a comâ€" | pany will be formed, the holders O syndicate units exchanging each unit for 200 shares in the new company. The units are being sold at $12.50 each, so unit holders will be getting in at bedâ€" rock price when the company is formed. Discoverer of Dome Mines Gives Name to New Syn: dicate.

Suggesting Northern Loop for Softball This Yea (From Sudbury Star) When Nickel Belt softballers hold the first meeting after the annual, at ez at o‘clock next Thursday night at Comâ€" munity Hall in Copper Cliff, they can consider hooking up with T. N. O country for a playofI at the end of the season. Kirkland Lake, Timmins, Noranda and Beattie, the latter two clubs in q@uebec, have received assurance from the O.A.S.A. that the winner will have playoff rights, providing a group of at least two teams is formed. The T. N. O. teams are talking of senior "A" grouping and the talk here has been of an intermediate "A" lineâ€" up. That, however, is a difficulty whith might be surmounted, for the purpose of northern play, by the forâ€" mation of a group in the lower rating in the North. Regardless of the O.A. S.A. tags the teams bear, a playoff at the end of their respective seasons would be better than remaining idle while the southern clubs get ready. If the Nickel Belt teams are not quite ready to step up into the class of Kirkâ€" land Lake softballers who showed here last year, and it must be borne in mind that the gold centre‘s strong team has been bolstered since last season, an actual field test is the only way to show what is needed. Consideration of comâ€" munication with exâ€"Sudburian Russ McDowell, softball promoter in Kirkâ€" land Lake, would seem in order for next Thursday‘s meeting.
