Man- ager Jack Gunn reports that the practices on artificial ice in Tor. onto and the 8.

Duke on a charge of Keeping s disorderly house, Ernest Burrus of Oshawa was committed for trial by Magis. trate Willis in police court on Fri- day afternoon. Accused was de- fended by W. H, Kennedy, of Whit- by, while Crown Attorney J. A, Me- Gibbon, of Oshawa, prosecuted the case. Bail was set at $3,000 by Judge J. BE, Thompson, the crown attorney pointing out that the case was very serious. The charge centres around a statement said to have been given willingly to the police by the ac. cused when the police raided the home of Mrs. Duke on December 8. Burrus when recalled to the stand by Magistrate Willis after the evidence of Mrs, Duke had been taken, denied the statement and sald it had been forced from him by threats of arrest. Chief of Police Gunson of Whit- by was the first witness ealled by Crown Attorney MeGibbon. He said he heard the accused swear at the trial of Mrs, Duke on De- cember 7, that the statement given to the police and produced in court was true, He declared he heard accused swear that he bad been warned and had then signed and that the signature on the state- ment, which was witnessed by Pro- vinciagl Constable George E., Cook- man, Chief Gunson and Night Con- stable John Thomas, was his own. Continuing, Chief Gunson said, "After Mrs. Duke gave evidence in her own behalf, accused was recall- ed by His Wership, and he denied the statement which he had given to me voluntarily and which he previously had sworn td be true." "Did you hear nme warn the pris- oner after he denied the state- m 3 asked Crown Attorney Mc- es, and he said that he had been threstemed with arrest and would be put in jail it he did not sign the statement which he again averred to be uptrue." "Did you threaten him?" "No, I didn't, I warped him, and read it over to him twice, and told him that #f it were mot true, pot to sign it." A. W. B. Greer, lawyer of Osh- swe, who was present st the trial of Rex vs. Duke, and who heard the evidence with the exception to the recalling of Burrus by Magis. trate Willis, was the next witness, Mr, Greer seid that Burrus admit- ted signing the statement and heard him swear that fts contents were true. "I heard the prisoner say the statement was given vol- untarily and after a warning from the Chief of Police," concluded wit: {| i $ f : | f i : i R 2 F ; ; | : : fi ily : on Greater Care y Exercised By of experien a than they were last this partly attributable to the safety oa 'which the nt of Highways carried od in, the news- r's of the province, ia the opin- fon of William A. Reid, Highvsy Traffic Officer stationed at ng. "What 1s the reason for speed- ing?" Mr. Reid was asked. "General speeding Is caused by several fast drivers, who, when they pass cars ahead of them, make the people in them think they are not going very fast, and they in turn start to speed. "As a general rule, a driver does not start out on a trip with the in- tention of speeding, but when ue ia passed by several ears, he gets the idea that he should also be going taster," replied Mr, Reid, "Hon Mr. Henry of the Depart- ment has been quoted as saying that he thinks the average speed of automobiles on all the highways is about 25 miles an hour, what is your estimate of the average speed on the part of the highway fo which you are assigned?' Mr, Reid was asked, "I should imagine that the aver- age speed along this part of the Kingston Highway is a little high- er than 26 miles an hour," replied the traffic officer, "I should imag- ine that the average speed of all motor vehicles is nearly 80 miles an hour. Of course you will rea- lige," Mr. Reid pointed out, "that it is rather difficult to place an estimate on the average speed of all the automobiles using this road. "Do you expect 8 heavier traffic next year, Mr, Reid." "Yes, I do. People of Canada are becoming more prosperous and are buying automobiles. In wuat- tion to that there will be mum tourists here from the United States, I believe, as people there are finding out what we Canadians always knew, that this is a nne country to live in or visit, "Do you think there will be #8 many automobile fatalities in 1928 @s there were in 192777 "I really eouldn't say with any more accurate authority than the Cia in the street," concluded Mr, eld. are more "There goes his earpet bag," remarked the friend of the wesithy bride, as the fortune-hun bridegroom utteped the 1 "With sll my worldly goods Ithee endow." New Martin Theatre Tuesday and Wednesday Only ANNA Q. NILSSON and FRANCIS X. BUSHMAN Starring in situation was thoroughly discussed on Wednesday at Guelph, by Dominion Seed Branch Ontario Department of Agric: officials, leading live stock and seed grain producers, seed mer. chants, millers, threshermen, O.A.. C. Botanists and Agricultural Rep- resentatives. Hon. Mr. Martin claims we ure at & dangerous stage when we have reached the point where farmers tolerated the weeds and seem to think they are a necessary evil. Western screenings were strongly condemned as they are a great source of weed seed pollution. The seed merchants seemed inclined to blame the Canada Seed Act, while millers blame the threshers for dirty grain and the threshers blame the farmers. A new device for threshing ma- chines was exhibited by J. H, Mis- cher, Port Dover, who claimed that through the use of it cleaner grain was the result and weed seeds were not blown out with the straw and small grass seeds were also saved. One factor which was emphasiz- ed by nearly all speakers was the indifference of the average farmer to the alarming weed situation, If the farmers of Ontario realized that a 3 per cent improvement in yield of grains and seeds in Onta- rio meant an increase of $5,000,» 000 to them yearly greater atten- tion would be paid to sowing plump, sound, clean seed. { Durham County was represenied at this conference by J.
