A., father of Ven. Archdeacon J. H. H. Coleman, rector of St. Paul's Church, Kingston, and grand-fath- er of Rev. J, K, Coleman, incum- bent at Sharbot Lake, passed away on Saturday morning in the uen- eral Hospital at the age of 84. Mr. Coleman took his Arts degree from Trinity College, Toronto, in 1869.

YOUTH STEALS I'URSH For stéaling a purse containing $21 in bills and small change a youth appeared in Juvenile Court Saturday before Magistrate Mikel. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to ten days' de- tention at the Children's Shelter, as the youth is not of age to be sent to the county jall, Friday, it was shown in court Saturday, this young lad, being a delivery boy in a grocery store, took from the till the above mentioned amount and hid it under a culvert on the up- per end of Coleman street, Con- stable Issard was assigned to the case and believing the youth to be th culprit, placed him under a gruelling and finally the boy ud- mitted the theft, The magistrate gave the youngster words of ad- vice as to his future conduct, HOLD FAIR IN SUMMER The impression has arisen that Belleville bacame a city fifty years ago the first of next July, This is not correct, Belleville hecame a city on December 31st, 1877, The Statute was passed and assented to 2nd of March, 1877, and expressly provides that the Town shall he- come a Clty "on and after the thir- ty-first day of December next," There is therefore no reason why the Semi-Centennial or 50th anni- versary should not be celebrated any day during the year, It might he well to hold the celebration during the Belleville Fair, The fair could be held during the summer just as well as in the fall, Too many fairs are held in the fall with the result that the interst is divided and the difficulty of secur- ing exhibits and attractions is in- creased, Of course, the fall is bet- ter adapted for some kinds of ex- hibits, but on the whole a sum- mer fair would draw larger crowds and the general exhibits and attrac- tions would be increased. With the Toronto Exhibition and dozens of smaller fairs in the fall, people are rather surfeited with fairs in that season. Brockville is holding its fair in the summer. SPOKE WITHOUT AUTHORITY In another brief statement about the students' 24-hour strike which terminated Friday morning, the Senate of Queen's University says it wishes to emphasize that R. O. Sweezey of Montreal spoke to the mass meeting without either its knowledge or its authority. "The university authorities feel," the statement continues, "that Mr. Sweezey may not have appreciated the real issue, which is whether the university has any jurisdiction over students off the university premises. On this matter the uni- versity authorities have defnitely pronounced themselves. "It 18 not contemplated that any difficulty will arise over the mat- ter of attendance." Mr. Sweezey states that his pro- mises to the students did not go be- yond the offer of his good offices in adjusting the matter of attend. ance during the strike, which he belleved to be the only issue re- maining between the Senate and the students, and he was sao confi. dent of the fairness of the Senate that he felt justified in giving as- surances that this would be satis- factorily settled, which appears to be justified by the last sentence of th Senate statement, CHARGED WITH FRAUD Arthur Grant, alias Brown, aged 20 years, appeared in Belleville police court Saturday, charged with obtaining $10.00 from Ken- neth Vivian, garage dealer, at Shannonville by false pretences, He was also charged by the Belleville police with vagraney. Grant plead. ed guilty to the one count and was remanded for one week. It is suspected this man 18 wanted in Hamilton and a check up of his ca- reer will be made during the pe- riod of his remand, Grant some time ago took a motor-cycle into the garage at Shannonville, which, it is alleged, he did not own, He put up a hard luck story to Mr. Vivian, the property owner, and received $10.00, leaving the eycle as security, Friday information was received regarding the ma- chine and the hunt for Grant was on. Traffic Officer Frink and Sergt. Truaisch received information that their man was employed by Mr. lLosee, the baker at Rossmore, The time of their arrival was learned of beforehand and the bird had flown. Grant made his way up the shore and then across the ice with Sergt., Truaisch in pursuit, He was finally captured on Zwick's Island and brought to the station.

Other important points in the pro- posal were the reduction of gun -cali= bre from the present 16-inch maxi- mum to 13.5 inches, and the exten- ed at the tri-partite naval conference at Geneva last year by Right Hon. W. C. Bridgeman, first lord of the admiralty, That conference, how- ever, did not accept the specific pro- posals and ended without accomplish- ing the purpose for which it had been called--reduction in cruiser and auxiliary strength. Opposed by Washington Washington, March 24. -- The re- ported new naval limitation proposals made at Geneva today by Lord Cush- endun on behalf of Great Britain are not likely to be accepted by the Unit- ed States. It is held here that the capital ship question is outside the scope of the preparatory disarma- ment commissison. As a matter of fact the American delegate, Hugh S. Gibson, was in- structed by the state department along these lines. A polite refusal by Washington to consider the British plan-is therefore expected, Committee Adjourns Geneva, March 24.---The League of Nations' preparatory disarmament commission adjourned today subject to the call of its president. It has accomplished nothing tangible to- ward disarmament in its nine-day mecting. The outstanding develop- ments include: 1. General condemnation of the So- viet project for immediate world- wide total abolition of armaments. 2. Refusal to permit introduction of a second Soviet project, sponsored hy Maxim Litvinoff upon realization of the defeat of the first, which called for limitation of arms. 3. Rejection of the German gestion that a full disarmament con- ference be called this year. 4. Suggestion by the United States that the second draft of the commis- sion's disarmament treaty he read only when the nations of the world were ready for it assuring its suc- cess, New York house maid, who got her job 25 years ago through a want ad, has been left $40,000 in the will of her employer.

W. Robson, chief inspector here. This inspection will apply to pas- sengers in autos as well as to foot passengers. Regular commuters be- tween this city and Port Huron will not be subjected to questioning, if they are known to the officers, but all sgrangers will be asked about their place of residence, employment, intended length of stay in Canada, etc. Alterations are now being made at the immigration offices in order to provide a private room for personal interrogation of visitors which may be AW by the officers. The method employed will be similar to that in use by the United States immigra- tion officers, it was said. It is not vet known whether or not additional inspectors will be employed here for the summer season. WOLF COMES SOUTH Guelph, March 25.--Discovering a large timber wolf ranging his farm on the Fourteenth Concession of Maryborough Township, Ed- ward Cox, with the assistance of two neighbors, Ernest Giles and Russell Murphy, succeeded in dri- ving the animal into a driving-shed, where they cornered it and cap- tured it after a fierce struggle.
