Two Local Men Charged With Robbery with Violence This Morning South Porcupine, Oct. 2.â€"(Special to The Advance)â€"Two men, Phillip Laâ€" mothe and Charlie Cousineau, giving their addresses as Timmins, were arâ€" rested today by the Tisdale police and are being held on charges of robbery with violence. The charges arise from the report made to the police by John Burns that while he was on the road to the sand claims near Timmins he was attacked by two men and robbed. He said that $27.75 in cash was forcibly taken from him after he had been atâ€" tacked by the two men. He was inâ€" jured in the affray but his injuries are understood not to be serious. The first Legion Smoker will be held next Saturday. Geo. Nippers, chairâ€" man of the committee says, "We are providing a dandy programme and tell the boys there is to be a trench supâ€" John Burns Said to Have Been Attacked on Road to the Sand Claims and Robbed of $27.75.

In any case all Legion smokers are good ones so a big crowd is anticâ€" Saturday evening last was a gala occasion at the Legion hall in Timâ€" mins, a very happy event being held to mark the burning of the mortgage on the Legion building. The first item on the delightful programme for the evening was a fuil course banquet preâ€" pared and served by the Top Hat Resâ€" taurant in its usual efficient and satisâ€" fying style. Over eighty members of the Legion and guests enjoyed this pleasing repast. Mr. Austin Neame, Zone Commander of the Legion in the North, occupied the chair for the evening. He made appropriate reference to the progress of the Legion in Timmins and the effort necessary to achieve the present success. The first great need of the Legion had been quarters of their own for meetings and for club rooms. This had led to plans for the present buildâ€" ing and the difficulties of financing the venture had been ably met. He thanked the building committee, the Legion officers and members, the mines, the town and the people in general for the generous support that had made the building possible and that had resulted in the happy event of the eveningâ€"the burning of the mortgage, as a symbol of the fact that all indebtedness had been cleared off. Mr. Neame eplained that in additoin to very generous donations, the mines of the district had assisted by providâ€" ing the additional money required for the building. The mines had advancâ€" ed this money on mortgage, repayable in nine years. However the Legion had been able to repay the money in five years, and so there was the pleasâ€" ing ceremony of the burning of the mortzage. Mr. Neame refuted an idea held by some that the beverage room department of the Legion club rooms might be responsible in large measure for the early payingâ€"off of the mortâ€" gage. Very little of the amount had come from that source, said Mr. Neame, only a small profit coming from the sale of beer after the costs of operation, the salaries of stewards, etc., being paid. This department gave employment to several exâ€"servicemen, and helped defray the scosts of upkeep of the hall, but its part in the payâ€" ment of the mortgage was not material. The martgage was then ceremonâ€" Timmins Legion Congratulated by Speakers on Its Noâ€" table Achievement.

In Mr. Knox‘s stead he extended congratulaâ€" tions to the Legion on their achieveâ€" ment in retiring the mortgage four years ahead of time.

Having been given a taste of snow over the weekâ€"end to try our stamina, the weather will now relax for a day or so and allow a little more sunshine to make its way through, said Sydney Wheeler, Hollinger weather observer, this morning. He predicted that the weather would grow warmer and be fine during the next few days. Next Few Days Should be Moderate in Temperature Says Weatherman Toâ€" day. Maximum and minimumâ€" temperaâ€" tures have ‘been as follows: Thursday, 52 and 40; Friday, 40 and 22; Saturday, 55 and 28; Sunday, 55 and 32. At eight o‘clock this morning the thermometer readinz was 36 degrees. Rain fell from eight o‘clock on the morning of Thursday until two in the afternoon of the following day. Total depth was .75 inches. At 2 p.m. on Friâ€" day the rain turned to snow and fell until 10 pm. to a depth of one inch. Plan of "Mile of Coins" to be Used Here on Tuesday All should be ready to take due part in the "Mile of Coins‘" to be held here toâ€"morrow (Tuesday). The plan is unâ€" der the auspices of the local St. John Ambulance Brigade, Timmins Division, and the purpose is to secure money for the fund to obtain a field ambulance for Canadian soldiers. Mayor J. P. Bartleman is to place the first coin at 10 a.m. Tuesday, and then the plan is to be continued until 10 pm. After the first coin is placed, the idea is for others to place coins along side of each other until eventualâ€" ly the line extends from the corner of Pine and Fourth until the mile or more is made. It is a new plan for this North and should create considerable interest as well as bringing forth a large ~nunber of coins. The method has been used elsewhere with signal success and if the weather is not too inclement it should be a notable sucâ€" cess here.

If any further indication of Britain‘s determination to rid the world of Hitâ€" lerism was needed it was supplied yesâ€" terday when the First Lord of the Adâ€" miralty, Winston Churchill, spoke. He was quietly confident of the Allies‘ ability to crush the dictatorial power of ‘Germany and he made a strong bid for the goodwill and support of the other democracies of the world. An unconfirmed report was heard over the air from New York last night to the effect that Hitler, in his speech to the Reichtag on Wednesday, will pave the way for his abdication as Germany‘s Chancellor. The report was entirely unofficial however. From the Ministry of Information in London comes word that on Saturday five British planes set out on a reconâ€" nalsance flight in the heavily defended area of the Saarbasin, deep behind the Westwall. They were attacked by fifâ€" teen German fighters. Three British planes were brouszht down and one was forced to land in German territory. The fifth, ffown by the squadron leadâ€" er, bagged two Genmans, completed the reconmnaisance and returned home. It was so badly damaged however, that it took fire on landing and cracked up. The crew of three were saved and the object of the flight achieved. Hitler and Von Ribbentrop met last night ‘with Italy‘s foreign minister, Count iCiano. It was secret and even secretaries were barred out. Speculaâ€" tion ranged from the possibility that Mussolini might be asked to mediate in the war to reports that Hitler was explaining the Reichtag policies which he will explan in a speech on Wednesâ€" day. In London officials and military auâ€" thorities have warned the populace to expect a lightning iblow from Hitler They believe that if the Allies reject Germany‘s peace offers the German ail force will attack the navy, naval bases, key ports and possibly industrial centres., On Wednesday Hitler is supposed to advise the German Reichtag of the German Rusian partition of Poland. The partition is expected to create a small ‘buffer state between Germany and Russia. Another report is that Hitler has askâ€" ed Mussolini, throuwzh Ciano, to make a final peace offer to Great Britain and France. If that fails he intends to deliver a "peace ultimatum." Hitler will warn in his Reichtag speech that if both proposals are rejected he will unleash the full fury of his air force.

The thieves kindly left a note for the manager of the store telling him to lock his doors in future. Among the missing items are five radios, flashlights, batteries, one gun, a fountain pen set, hackâ€"saws and frames, drills, alarm clocks and other items. The full list of missing articles has not yet been compiled. Exact time of the burglary is not yet known. When the Manazser of the store, William Smith, came down early this morning he found that the place has been partially looted but police were unable to determine whether of not the burglarly occurred on Saturâ€" day night or some time last night. Police believe that the thieves backed truck up to the front door of the store and piled the loot into it. They made their escape unhindered. The assortment of articles taken led the belief that the thieves selected with an eye to future robberies. Such artiâ€" cles as hackâ€"saws, drills and the gun pointed to such an intention. Police are busy investigating the crime and hope to have some clue to its solution in the near future.
