New Fish Hatchery Near Englechart Nearly Complete Englehart, Nov. 23.â€"(Special ‘to, The Advance)â€"Within a few days, it is exâ€" pected that fish will be placed in the new hatchery at Hill‘s Lake, in Bryce township west of here, and which, when completed, will be the largest plant of its kind operated ‘by the Ontario Deâ€" partment of Game and Fisheries. The contractor, J. A. McLeod of Kingston, expects to finish the job about the end of this month, and he said that the work would have been done before but for changes in the original plans made by the provincial authorities, and the rainy summer experienced this year. § §C31L1d AVUIAILl J 2 °C _ 00000 _ 1 _4 with Keeping Bawdy House. Two Women be Charged as Inmates and a Man With Being Found in. Put "Filthy Class of Women Out of Business," He Says. ‘The four rearing ponds are comâ€" pleted, also the "parent" pond, in which mature fish will be kept to provide a supply of spawn for the hatchery, the hatchery building is erected and comâ€" plete but for the plumbing, the superin-w tendent‘s residence is almost finished: and an ice house and garage are up. Remaining to be done and at present. under way, is the work of digzing A drainage canal around the upper porâ€" tion of the lake, in which the springs which feed the hatchery are located. This ditch will carry away surface water and emipty it into the lake below the dam ensuring a steady supply of pure spring water and removing the danger of cortamination. Original plans had called for the construction of a timber flume to carry the water from the springs to the rearâ€" ing ponds and hatchery, but these were changed this year to provide for conâ€" crete beinz used in the main section of the fiume, 1300 feet in length. Work on the project was started late last year and, after being discontinued over the winter months, was resumed in the spring. The United Church has erected a new church in that section of the district, and this building is about completed. Fish to be placed in the ponds are small fry hatched last spring and will be ready for distribuâ€" ~tion in northern waterâ€"next summer.

(From Montreal Star) â€" KEvery MONDAY and THURSDAY "I suggest you try this man Otis on a charge of keeping a common bawdy house and reâ€"lay all these charges and. then we will sort them out one by one. ' This looks like a dirty den. This filthy class of women should be put out of business. I‘m not preâ€"judging any of these defenderts. I‘ll decide when 1 hear their cases. In any event I‘ll reâ€" mand them all‘ So said Magistrate Atkinson in police court on Tuesday after hearing the evidence in a charge of keeping bawdy house, against Irene Downey. hadh. o o n t Prior to the hearing of the bawdy house charge, George Otis, the man mentioned by the Magistrate, had been convicted of keeping liquor for sale and sentenced to three months in jail. On the recommendation of the Maâ€" gistrate, Otis will probably be charged with keeping a bawdy house, and Irene Downey and Blanche Auger with beâ€" ing inmates. A witness in the liquoI charge against Otis and also in the charge against Miss Downey, so far as it progressed, Henry Bouchard, will probably be charged with being found in a common bawdy house. Sergeant DesRoches, testifying in the charge of keeping liquor for sale, against Otis, said that ne raided the Otis residence at 131 Poplar avenue at 11.30 pm. on November 14. In the place were the accused, two women and Henry Bouchard. Ten pints of beer were found and a part bottle of scotch whiskey. Bouchard admitted that he had given Otis all the change he had in payment for three pints of beer, Serâ€" geant DesRoches said. Later, in the police office he said the same thing in front of the accused. 8t s s itb Emt Inspector Arthur Olson said that Otis admitted to him that Bouchard "just gave me"‘ tne__money. ? * e 1k Wh;t: He vfold police, Bouchard testiâ€" fied, was that he ‘had given Otis forty or fifty cents in part payment of a. en in us debt. Pressed to an exact reckon‘ng ‘ of his account with Otis, Bouchar stumbled and said finally, that he guessed he now owed him about $1.10. Otis denied that he ever sold liquor. Bouchard put "about forty cents" on the table in part payment of a debt owed him for taxis. He didn‘t rememâ€" ber that he had ever admitted to police that Bouchard gave him the money in payment for beer. In addition ‘to sentencing Otis to spend the next three months at hard labour in jail at Haileybury. Magisâ€" trate Atkinson made the house public ‘for a year and ordered the liquor conâ€" fiscated. Later during the court session the other aspects of the case were COnâ€" sidered. In a charge of keeping common bawdy house, Henry Bouchâ€" ard, who testified against Otis in the liquor case, was a witness. Bouchard said that he went to the Star Cafe where he met Miss Downey and another woman, Blanche Auger. They took a taxi cab from there to Otis‘s homeâ€"a twoâ€"roomed shack. There they had a couple of shots of whiskey and he and Miss Downey went into the ‘bedroom. t i WOE ho The a;r;.;éémént between he and Miss Downey Was purely a "party" one he said. It had no commercial a_ngle. Sergeant DesRoches, who kept obserâ€" | vation on the house for a time before he and other officers made their raid, told of looking through the window of the bedroom where Bouchard was with the girl. _ _ Later, in his evidence, the Sergeant said that both the girl and Bouchard admitted to him in the police station that the girl received $2. When she was brought in she had $2.45 in her possession. [ "NMo, it was $2.85," interrupted the girl from the prisoners‘ bench. At that point Magistrate Atkinson said that he could see no evidence of "keeping‘‘ a bawdy house against the girl but that he thought the charges should all be reâ€"laid.
