STIL NO TRACE WALLCAR BANDITS Robbers' Holster Stamped "Detroit" --Believed to Be 3 from U. S. Toronto, June 23.--It seems to be 1 more apparent every day at least some of the gang who the mail coach at the Union on early Wednesday morning were from over the border--probably Detroit. An indication of this lies In the statement from a reliable yee yesterday--not the police-- t the brown leather revolver hol- came from the motor city, hav- been purchased there on June 3 last. This, the informant says, is ted by the date stamped on the beside the maker's name. There is, however, the possibility that the holster was stamped and left behind in the abandoned eae Jor 'purpose of persuading the police hat the desperadoes hailed from De- troit, thus throwing the authorities off the real trail. But whatever clues the police have --if any--to the whereabouts or \dentity of the marauders, they ave not saying anything for publication. As a matter of fact, the "lid" was clamped down tightly westerday, and no one is talking, The fact remains, however, that there have not yet been any arrests, despite the optim- ism of an afternoon confemporary that at least three captures were imminent. Diligent Search Proceeds Still, the police are delving dili- gently for clues.. Information which comes to hand is being acted upon promptly, and neither Chief of Police Draper nor his officers and men are letting up in their efforts. That the $2,000 veward offered by the postal authorities is inciting the public to enthusiasm in pursuit of clues is evi- dent by the number of calls the au- thorities receive in a day. Some of the information sent in to police headquarters is far-fetched and emanates from persons both in city and province and from every station in life. It is as it was in the Ambrose J. Small mystery, Spiritualistic med- jums, believers in dreams and mat- ter-of-fact, hard-headed citizens are all numbered among the numerous informants. Yesterday two pieces of informa- tion were investigated within a few hours of each other, one of them emerging from a mediumistic source, "GALLAGHER AND SHEAN" We're a pair like "Gallagher and Shean', always together. I like good, company, I like that which relieves pain and sickness, which builds up mankind to better physi- cal bodies and enables them to enjoy life more fully and to he of more use in the world, This is our slogan, "Gallagher's ' Builds the Body' and it does, Listen. We have a letter from a man who was having hemorrhages of the lungs requiring a doctor's attendance twice a week, was emaciated and altogether discouraged when he began taking Gallagher's Indian Lung Remedy with a little of the Blood Purifier and Kidney Rem- edy and now he is well and strong working every day and steadily gaining weight, Results of this kind are worth while, gre they not? If you have ANY lung trouble go to F, W. Thompson, 10 Simcoe , Oshawa, and get some '"Gal- Mill next week, good Yours truly, JACK SPEILL. Watch this space next week, the other from one of those afore- mentioned hard-headed residents. Saw R: in The ag gone. ' trance, and while her astral shape was adrift she is said to have seen the bandits and to have handed this information on to the police. The matter was investigated--but the bandits. are still at large. More matter-of-fact information was given by a w n residing on King street west. seen by of- ficers, she told of seeing a large blue sedan motor car stopped at the curb near her home and watching two men seated therein handling two rifles. One of the men seemed, the woman said, to be taking one of the weapons apart. When, the police ar- rived on the spot: the auto and its suspicious load had disappeared. It became known yesterday that the Buick car used in Wednesday's depredation was left om Hudson Drive about 11 o'clock Thursday morning. This led to the constable patrolling that beat om the night in question being called. before Chief Draper and asked to explain. What explanation the officer gave was not made public. It is said that the of- ficer was informed by a Hudson Drive resident that the car had been standing on the street all night, and that the constable made a note of this in his book. The matter slipped his mind until the car was found later by Messrs. Eddy and Shea. The bandit car was seen to drive up Hudson Drive about the time named, Several men alighted from it, and changed to another car, whose headlights were burning brilliantly, then drove away. A The route the thugs followed im- mediately after the outrage was made known yesterday by Whitney Groves, night clerk of the York Gar- age, 61 York: street. Groves 'said that he was supplying gasoline to a man whose car had stalled on the street, when the bandit car dashed northward past him at high speed. Five minutes later appeared the po- lice car, its siren screaming, racing along. While the police car sped onward toward the Highway, it is thought that the quarry turned into some side street and there put up the car in a garage, hiding them- selves until the hue-and-cry had died down, Sought Change For Bill There is a diversity of opinion as to whether the thugs are still in town or have fared further to less dangerous haunts. A grocery pro- prietor in the northwest section of the city reported to the police yes- terday that he believed one of the desperadoes called at his store Thurs. day morning and asked him if he had change for a fifty-dollar' bill. The grocer replied that he had no change, The fellow, a stranger, dark, slim and of sallow complexion, then asked if there was a bank in the vicinity, and on being told that there was one on Christie street, several blocks away, left the store. YALE SWEEPS EVENTS AGAINST HARVARD Regatta Course, New London, Conn., June 22.---Yale swept the historic Thames River course to- night by defeating Harvard in the varsity eight-oared four-mile race by ten lengths, The Blue had a glorious day, for earlier-in the morning these tender shells of the New Haven crews had shown their rudders to the fighting Crimson freshman and junior eights, The Yale sweep- swingers led all the way dewn the river, rowing a magnificent race. Harvard was visibly tied at the finish, while Yale finished stong- ly. Yale's decisive victory came as a surprise to most non-partisan spec- tators, for Harvard was a slight favorite. As the crew crossed the line, all the crafts in the harbor tied: down their whistles, and there was a dine that could be heard for miles. L) The official time was Yale, 20 minutes 21 3-5 seconds; Harvard, 20 minutes, 56 seconds.

The upkeep of such a jail, and the maintenance of the prisoners therein, should be borne jointly by Canada and the United States, the judge stated. 3 y The judge was at first inclined to send Carthy. back to the States, as he failed to see why the Cana- dian Government should be called upon to pay for the keep of an American citizen in a Dominion penitentiary for a number of years, but Valmore Bienvenu, Crown pro- seeutor, urged that an example be made of the man, stating that to allow him to go home without ve. ing punished would be an encour- agement of theft by men who came to this country from across the bor- der during the tourist season and made it a business to steal from autos, PAGAN RITES IN RELIGIOUS FEASTS Will Again Reveal Traces of Heathen Ceremonies in Quebec Montreal, Que, June 23.--Religious history exhibits many instances .of pagan festivals incorporated with re- ligious feast days, the practice standing as a tribute to the tact displayed by the carly Church in iy conversions. Strangely enough, he national feast day of the French Canadians, a people young in com- parison with others whose celebra- tions are thus distinguished, is a striking example of this linking of the pagan with the Christian, The celebrations with which the Feast of St. Jean Baptiste is observed in the metropolis of French Canada, on June 23 and 24, include what is probably the first pagan rite evolved by pri- mitive man--the lighting of bonfires with ceremony and song. The Eve of St. Jean Baptiste falls on Midsummer Day, for untold cen- turies the day dedicated by Pagan peoples to the honoring of Fire as a bencficient deity. So on :that night thousands of Montrealers and visit. ors will congregate at the civic park, to lift their voices in a far-carrying volume of ragged, but sincere, har- mony as the torch is applied to the towering pile of brushwood. There will be speech-making, of course,--civic officials cannot let slip such an opportunity for self-expres- sion--and folk dances, but the sing- ing of the old songs, many of them religious in theme and others set to tunes borrowed long ago from the service of the Church, will be the principal accompaniment of this odd survival of a Pagan rite. This year there will be two hon- fires, the second being the centre of attraction at the new baseball stadium. It is expected 25,000 people will gather to hear the choir of 200 trained voices, accompanied by large orghestra, render "The Precur- sor," an oratorio composed by a well known French-Canadian musi- cian, Guillaume Couture, This sacred composition draws its inspiration from the story of the patron saint of Old Quebec, Then there will be the great pro- cession, an eyent not to be ignored and indeed the grand climax of the whole festival, Borne on its way by the music of 25 bands, the long train of brilliantly decked floats, each a symbol to that tenacious race which came into being on the shores of the St. Lawrence, will move from cast to west across the city, before thé delighted eyes of a crowd which an- naully surpasses that drawn together by any other event in the city's life. Theprocession is no haphazard ai- fair, but a carefully worked out pa- geant whose details are harmonized by expert directors. Each year a theme, closely related to the past or present life of French Canada, is selected and the floats designed to bring out this central idea. This year the folk songs of the race have been chosen as the theme and the task of carrying it into material expression @ntrusted to the competent hands of E. Z. Massicotte, archivist of the District of Montreal. Each of the 35 floats will represent a song typical of a certain class. The plan is artistically the most ambitious vet undertaken in honor of St. Jean Baptiste, Commenting recently on the com- ing festival, Mr. Massicotte compared it with the Mardi Grass celebrations at New Orleans, pointing out, howey- er, the more strongly accentuated historical note which underlies the Montreal observances. MAYOR'S FRIEND NOT CHINESE BUT BUSINESS MAN, HE SAYS ° Vancouver, June 22.--Mayor "Louis D.

It is said that he can walk, talk and eat as well as any- body without any person knowing that he has been terribly mangled. With the exception of the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet, gkin and flesh have been stripped from virtually every part of his body to-build up his face. About half of his new jawbone was made from a part of his shinbone. More was made from part.of his hip bones. The lower part of his mouth in which the new teeth are set in, is of fine steel, As quickly 8s o operation would be performed "the patient would be built-up physically to withstand the other, Weeks and at times months, would elapse be- fore he regained strength to again submit to the surgeon's knife, While he will hasten to Regina pext summer, Major Gillis will never be able 'to live in Canada again, as grafted skin and flesh will not be able n. ithstand more than a degree or two of frost, He will return to England. » POURING KEROSENE ON FIRE FATAL TO 9-YEAR-OLD GIRL -- Quebec, June 22.--Luciepne Al- phonse, 9, was burned to death to- day, at her parents' home, St. Neree, Bellechasse County, and her young brother suffered serious burns.
