Dr. Leddy said that Kuronen had a badly broken right hip, a desp cut on one thigh and a badly bruised arm. Instead of stopping, Sersen‘s car pulled away fast. It spseded up to about 55 miles an hour. He accalerated and followed, said Mr. Gillies, until he was close enough to be able to see the number on the markers. He then drove to the police station where .e reported the accident and went back with a contsable to pick up the man left on the side of the road. When police apprehended Sersen, his car was found to have a broken heatcâ€" lamp and a dented fender. trace the hitâ€"andâ€"run driver. _ They managed to get the number on Seorâ€" sen‘s markers and police were able to trace the owncer of the car. Driver of the car which followed Sersen‘s. automobile was taxi driver Walter Gillies. He said that he picked two couples up at his stand in Schuâ€" macher. Followinz about 25 yards beâ€" hind Sersen‘s car, he saw a man hurled high into the air. In the back seat on the rightâ€"hana side was Gordon Keeney. He told the court that he saw the body thrown into the air and the automobile which struck it speed up. He took out a notebook and pencil and wrote down the numâ€" ber when one of the girls in the car, Miss Spooner, called it out. Chief Gagnon told itne court that the de.palcments records showed that the number 82V86 was that of a car SERVICE NIGHTS, 2174â€"W 21 PINE STREET N. THTMMINS At a spot this side of the Hollinger driveway she felt a bump and mentionâ€" ed it to the driver. Sersen did not say anything. When they arrived at Timâ€" mins Sersen turned the car around amd they drove back to Schumacher. From there they returned to Timmins by the back road. "I didn‘t notice anything except that we ran over something. I didn‘t see anythinz ‘but I felt the bump," said Betty Burker, ancther occupant of the Ssersen car. She said tunat she also remarked to Sersen about the bump but that he «did not reply. Miss Spooner, a passenger in the following taxi, said that she saw the number of the car after the accident. Mr. Keeney marked it down in his notebosok. Constable Barlow said the fender of sersen‘s car was dented and a headlamp broken.

It was a grey sedan. Miss H. Tosti was a passenger in the Sersen car. Sersen admitted to him that he felt a bump as though the car struck someâ€" thing, said Sergeant DesRoches. On the stand in his own deféence Sersen told the court, "I never thought at any time that I had hit any perâ€" son." "I said nothing about a man but he said to me, ‘If I ever hit a man I would take him to the hospital,," said the witness. He further added that sersen told him that he did not care what the hell it was that happened. If he was wrong he would pay. Peter Tomasepic, a passenger in the Ssersen car: "I never see anything. I heard nothing." Magistrate Atkinson remarked that he believed the occupan:s of the taxi cab got the licence number right anc that there was no doubt that it was Seorsen‘s car which hit Kuronen. Purâ€" thermore, there was no Gdoubt in his mind that Sersen knew he did it and intended to try and get away with it. He said that he noticed the dented fender when he arrived home that nizht. "I felt then that I might have hit a dog or a man," he said. There has been much general interâ€" est in Timmins and district, not only among prospectors but among the gonâ€" eral public interested in mining, in the recent changes in the Quebec mining laws. These changes are generally hailâ€" ed as giving the prospector a new and tter deal. Therse has been several references in The Advance to the matâ€" ter, because prospectors here are parâ€" ticularly interested, as they feel that here too the prospector needs new and better deal. The new policy in Quebec was outâ€" lined by Registrar Adoliph Routhier as follows: Prospectors Given New and Better Deal in Quebec Prospector, Promoter and Broker Share in Benefits. "We intend giving a fair trial to the following policy: "Permit (and, if necessary, make it a condition for the granting or the maintenance of a company‘s registraâ€" tion under our Securities Act) in fuâ€" ture, by specific agreement between the i h wo ships of the British Merâ€" cantile Marine have been honâ€" ored by His Majesty the King, who with the Queen and members of their Royal retinue, are travelâ€" ling to and from Canada in ocean liners of the Canadian Pacific fleet. 4 The 21,000â€" ton Empress of Ausâ€" tralia, graceful and yachtâ€"like as seen above at the top, ‘brings Their Majesties to Quebec on T wo Royal Liners Carry King and Queen THER PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO Five per cent. of the first one hundred thousand dollars or less comâ€" ing into the treasury of the company as a resulit of the sale of its snares. This five per cent. would be deposited in a bank for the sole benefit of the said prospeztor or the prospector and his grubstaker and would belong to them. in the proportion of their respective. original holdings of the company‘s venâ€". dor stock. (This would seem to be the. only means of establishing the share of each prospector or grubstaker, if we take into account of the fact that from time to time, a company might possibly acquire claims or properties subsequentâ€" ly to its obtaining registration). When it is proved to us that previous to inâ€" corpsration of the company tre proSsâ€" pector or the prospector and his grubâ€" staker have already been reasonably inâ€" demnified by substantial cash payâ€" ments, the five per cent. item above mentioned should then not be made applicable for an equivalent amount beâ€" cause these same cash payments should be treated as advance payments made out of this same per cent. fund,; company or promoter on the one hand and the prospector or the prospector and his grubstaker, on the other hand, the latter two tozether be allowed the three following (1) The release, or freeing, up to a maximum of one hundred thousand shares, of the vendor stock allotted to the prospector or the prospector and his grubstaker. "(3) The release of the balance, if any, of the prospector‘s or the prosâ€" pector and his grubstaker‘s escrowed stock in the proportion of one share for each block of four shares sold out of the treasury of the company. "This latter advantage would be alâ€" lowed to all other bona fide interested parties (promoter or promoter and broker) holding escrowed vendor stock. Divide in Proportion "FRach distribution of the shares thus released would be made between all nolders of vendor stock in the proâ€" portion of their remaining noldings of the escrowed vendor stock. "The adoption of this policy would not exclude the possibility of volunâ€" tary bargains between the company and any of the above mentioned parâ€" tiecs, provided these voluntary bargains do not prove to be unfair to any of them or to the public. "The above policy and figures have been outlined with, in our mind, the thought of the usual three million share company where out of a million share vendor stock, the prospector Or the prospector and his grubstaker would Obâ€" tain an inierest of three hundred thousand shares would go to the proâ€" moter or promoter and broker. It‘s No "Race" In going over the announcement the following day after prospeciors and others had had an opportunity to digtst iits full meaning, Mr. Routhier stated that the present changes in securities regulations in both Quebec and Onâ€" tario were not to be regarcded as a race or anything of the sort and that while each province worked independâ€" ently of the other, both were trying i l i on 1 Part of this elasticity is gained through the five per cent clause. As state«i in the announcement, this need not necessarily be included in all agréeeâ€" their best to help the prospector and so encourage mining expioration. Only after long conference and many Ccomâ€" munications from the prospectors‘ asâ€" sociations, mine managers, promoters, brokers and other interested persons, hnad the new regulations been framed. He hoped. he said, that they would satâ€" isfy everyone but that his bureau inâ€" tended to retain as elastic a policy as May 15, while the giant 42,500 flagship Empress of Britain will sail from Halifax on June 15 with Their Majesties on Board. The Empress of Britain, in the lower picture, is seen steaming majesâ€" tically past the Chateau Fronâ€" tenac as she approaches her berth at Wolfe‘s Cove, where the IEmâ€" press of Australia will land her Royal passengers. Inset at the top is Captain A. R Meikle, R.D., RN.R., who comâ€" mands the Empress of Australia on her Royal voyage, and at botâ€" tom Captain C. H. Sapsworth, commander of the Empress of Britain, which is now ending her annual Round the World Cruise. The Royal Standard, White Enâ€" sign and Canadian Pacific houseâ€" flag, which the two liners fly on their Royal voyages, are also seen in the picture grouping. _ The freeing. thsg, Mr. Routhier said. Ssince it applics only to the prospectorâ€"grubstaker, its benefits will be greater to this class than under some alternative systems and the Aifferentiation â€" ‘between _ prospectorâ€" ments but may be used more as a barâ€" gaining lever. Where the five per cent. clause is included, the number of shares released to the prospector on formaâ€" tion of a company may be lowered. All this is left in the hands of tue prosâ€" pector and the parties with whom he is dealing. Mr. Routhier‘s policy will be to interfere as little as possible, except in cases where he is convinced that too hard a bargain is being driven, or where fraudulent intention is evident. Differentiation in Venders prospectorâ€"grubstaker interest on forâ€" mation of a company will apply in most 3:000,000â€"share company incorporations, Marshallâ€"Ecclestone Limited "We believe," said Mr. Routhier, "that we have taken into consideration all the groups involved and have tried to satisfy everyone and protect the public at the same time." Immediate Reaction Good Immediate reaction to the announceâ€" ment has been favourable, it was learnâ€" ed from inquiries of all groups involved. Prospectors ssee an Oopportunity of "cashing in" on a discovery and obtainâ€" ing enough money with which to carry on in the field and at the same time provide for their families. Promoters see more certain reward for their efâ€" grubstaker vendor shares and those isâ€" sued to promoters, brokers and others came about through careful consideraâ€" tion of suzgestions made scme time ago by the local prospectors association. Recognition of the promoters‘ and brokers‘ position in the formation of mining companies, as outlined in the third clause, is a change in policy which is expected to stimulate deals.
