Campbell, INJURED IN ACCIDENT Two people, a middle-aged lady, Mrs. J, Forbestor, and Ray Knight, three-year-old son of Fred Knight, are in Kingston hospital in a very critical condition as a result of auto accidents which oecurred in Kingston yesterday. Mrs, Forbes- tor was injured when she jumped out of a truck driven by J. D. Allen, and which was apparently out of control. She suffered a frac-' tured skull and scalp wounds. The truck, which was moving her fur- niture, was being driven down Bay street from Sydenham, and in the middle of the hill, between Mont- real and Sydenham streets, the brakes failed and Allen told the lady who was driving with him they would not hold. The car was not going at a rapid speed, but it would not stop, and when they reached the corner of Bagot street, Mrs. Forbestor leaped from the truck. The Knight boy was injur- ed when knocked down by an au- tomobile driven by M. G. Johnston, insurance agent. One wheel passed over the boy's abdomen. MONTGOMERYS OF OLD Stories of the exploits of "Bill" Montgomery, Haliburton giant, and his seven brothers in the spacious 70's, were recounted by old-tim- ers following yesterday's double tragedy in Peterboro in whieh Da- vid Montgomery, one of the young- er members of the family, was killed by a constable's bullet, Near- ly 50 years ago (Dec. 14, 1878), "Bill" Montgomery was shot by Ro- bert Roddy, a hotelman. He came into Roddy's bar and commenced an altercation over a bottle of whiskey. He had thrown heavy glassware at Roddy and was doing considerable damage, when Roddy fired at him with a small revol- ver, Montgomery then attempted to climb over the bar and Roady fired again, inflicting a fatal wound. Roddy was acquitted on the grounds of self-defence. The Toronto Mail published an wceount of the shooting and of Montgom- ery's previous wild life, under the headline "A Desperado and Death." The trial of Roddy in Peterboro is remembered by older residents as a cause celebre, public interest run- ning high by reason of the many stories of picturesque outlawry at- tached to the victim. Roddy, after his acquittal, conducted a hotel in Millbrook for some years. All the members of the Montgomery fam- ily were of powerful physique and were outstanding figures even in the rough and tumble era of tme "Cavan Blazers," the locale of whose adventures was the djstrict between Peterboro and Port Hope. PRINCE TRAVELS AGAIN London, May 3.--The Prince of Wales is understood to be plan- ning to visit Africa.

But the Colonial Office in the meantime will communicate with the African authorities regarding the most faverable conditions for LIQUOR CONTROL DEPENDING ON U.S. League of Nations Dry Ad. vocates Await American Election Lead Geneva, May 4.--"Dry" planks in the presidential campaign platforms of the American political parties may determine whether the League of Na- tions tries to undertake control of the world liquor traffic, it was indi- cated Wednesday. If planks in both Republican and Democratic platforms are strongly in favor of continued prohibition, it is expected that advocates of the world- control plan will obtain the support of other nations. It will be necessary for the Sep- tember Assembly of the League to take a preliminary vote om the pro- posal, whereas the American presi- dential election does not occur until November, Therefore the planks-- not the clection of a "wet" or "dry" candidate, will be the guiding fac- tors, The specific proposal before the League now is that a commission of experts should be appointed to study what aspects of alcoholism come within the competence of the League and whether such aspects might be made the subject of scientific and practical work by the League. Under the world war treaties, the League already is charged with the supervision of the liquor traffic in all of the mandated territorities while other aspects of the problem have heen dealt with by the International Labor Bureau, GIRL STOWAWAY IS ORDERED DEPORTED New York, May 3.--Deportation was ordered Tuesday hy a special board of inquiry at Ellis Island for Terese Lidicka, 18 years old, who stowed away on the French liner Rochembeau, She immedi- ately appealed the decision to the Department of Labor at Washing- ton.

Mr, Moore leaves two years before the end of his nine-year term, At least for the completion of the unex- pired term of the League of Na- tions almost certainly will elect another American to succeed him, This was evident here after a care- ful canvass of secretariat officials in communication with their home governments concerning the mat- ter. The "judges of the court are chosen by the Council and the As- sembly of the League voting se- parately and an absolute majority in each body is necessary for elec- tion. "With regard 'to America, there always have been two fac- tlons in the League, those who espouse a policy of conciliation and those who prefer disregard- ing the United States altogether as an irreconcilable outsider, When Mr. Moore's resignation was an- nounced the latter faetion momen- tarily was audible and frankly said in effect: "There are only 15 full judge- ships in the court and 40 member nations. Seven years ago, at Mr, Moore's election, it was hoped that America would join, but America has not. Why ought one seat now be given to a. non-member nation when there must always be many member nations not favored?" Recently, however, the concilia- tion faction has been prevailing. Its case was stated thus: Court of Justice "The Permanent Court is the Court of Justice, not an order of the Garter or a Legation of Honor. ---- Have you seen 'Hills and Dales" yet? A "phone call to 205 will bring a car to your door, Of course, if we choose ta con- sider the case from a political an- le, there is mow a resolution be- ore the United States Senate urg- ng membership of the United tates in the court. Any adverse action here might seriously affect {hat resolution's chances, but any- ow, considering that the seat to filled is for an unexpired term, t would be a gracious gesture if he League chose a jurist of the same nationality as that of the retiring judge. It was further pointed out that the term has only two years to run and the election of an Ameri- can might be a wise compromise of certain intermal differences. Now represented on the Court's bench are France, Switzerland, Holland, Great Britain, Denmark, Cuba, Spain, Japan, Italy, Brazil, Jugo Slavia, Norway, China and Rumania. 40 nations belonging to the court are more than willing to have one of their own peoples among the judges but each knows that some of its fellow-members' objections to its own possible candidates on account of nationality would not be held against the candidates of a non-member, Hanging BroomS Brooms that hang off the floor when not in use last much longer.
