Although I am not vice-president of the Budweiser Company, I am a stock- holder interested with a groun which has already expressed a will- ingness to put up sufficient money to control it, and as a prospective member of its incoming board of di- rectors, I can state positively that the company has not publicly of- fered, nor has it authorized anyone else to offer, any of its shares for sale, although a number of brok- ers have made offers to underwrite or to purchase, none of which of- fers have heen considered, If the public should later he given an op- portunity to participate, it will be for a very limited portion of its small capitalization, At present the company is not offering anything nor has it sought any publicity other than that which, we helieve, originally emanated from Oshawa as a result of its negotiations with the eity, - W.

Pending the acceptance of our offer, we have in turn pre- sented its prospects briefly to a few of our clients and their friends, in the hope that if our bid for a block of stock is accepted, we may be able to share some of it with those who indicate they are inter- ested; because we believe that by allowing others to participate with us, we can best build up a satis- fied clientele. If our bid is not accepted, no one will suffer with us. H. L. Wood, Preferred Securities ? Corp. Ltd, MONKEY TAKES BITE OUT OF YOUTH"S NOSE; MOTHER ASKS $100,000 Colorado Springs, Colo., July 13, --Suit to determine whether "Ki- lo," trained Broadmoor Hotel monkey got a $100,000 meal when he bit a piece out of Malcolm Me- Connell's nose probably will go to a jury early. The 15-year-old lad's mother, brought the suit for her gon. She insists the bite, combin- ed with the worry and other inei- dentals was worth $100,000. She asks for $50,000 actual and an equal amount in exemplary dam- ages. Attorneys for the hotel ar- gue that the bite wasn't worth pearly that much. They charge the boy was teasing the monkey, that the bite has been greatly magnified and that afterwards Mrs. McConnell refused to take the boy to a hos- pital physician, 8 standing rule of the hotel. Young McConnell took the stand to tell of the expensive bite. "i was just walking along," he said, #when the monkey sprang at me. Jumped on my chest and bit my nose." The bite was so healthy, he said, that the entire right lobe of his nose was torn loose and hung by a tiny bit of flesh. Mrs. McConnell was elephant rid- ing on "Empress of India" pride of Spencer Penrose's zoo, when her som was bitten, she testified. Young MeConnell left her for a stroll through the hotel grounds and re- turned when she was perched on top of the Empress, she said. His nose was torn and bleeding. Others blackened the reputation of "Kilo." *MASTER MIND IN MAIL ROBBERY IS STILL. SOUGHT Toronto, July 14.--Further search yesterday by Toronto, Wind- sor and Chicago detectives in Chi- cago and smaller cities in the State of Illinois failed to put 'the police on the trail of the trio of United States gunmen wanted here for the Union Station mail-car robbery. When Detectives Mulholland and Tuft of the local department left Detroit two days ago, they were reported to be hot on the trail of the Windsor thug described as the "master mind" of the hold-up men. It mow appear§ police were sent on a wild-goose chase by the infor- mant, who was supposed to have known the movements of the three gangsters for whose apprehension Chief Draper is putting forth every effort. Chase Continues That the detectives did not arrest the men upon their arrival in the Windy City has not disheartened them, and they intend combing ev- ery section from Detroit to Chi- cago, WORE OF ITALIA CREW ARE FOUND (Continued from page 1) the main Nobile party, Dr, Malm- gren succumbed, they said, and 13 days before they were sighted Cap- tain Mariano's leg had frozen. For ten days they remained on the ice cake, hopeless and helpless until sighted by the Rusisan flier, When they heard the siren of the Krassin next day, they thought they had imagined it, but then saw smoke of the ice breaker and knew they were saved. Press Pays Tribute Rome, July 14.--Newspapers to- day paid tribute to the 'fraternity of heroes'--Finns, Swedes and Rus- sians, participating in the search for the lost Norsemen, Frenchmen and Italians, There was special praise for the Russian flier Chuknnovsky, who told the ice-breaker 'Krassin"" to press on to the rescue of the Vigli- eri group, as he could await res cue; II Messagerio said of this !'it~ alians do not forget." SEIZURE OF BOOKS DECLARED ILLEGAL LIQUOR EXPORTERS Complaint Will Be Filed By Companies Affected Most Windsor, July 13--Claiming that the squad of Provincial Police in charge of Chief Inspector Frank Elliott exceeded their authority in seizing books and other 'documents of the Erie Transit Company and the Nathanson Company during the recent raids on export docks of the two exporters, James H. Clark, K.C, and F, K, Jasperson, legal advisers of the two companies, today declared they planned to file an application with the Supreme Court of Ontario in an effort to compel the Goyern- ment to give up possession of the documents, Mr. Clark said he was convinced the police under the warrant with which they were armed to make temporary con- fiscation of the books and papers re- lating to legitimate sales made by the companies. Une: Move This move on the part of legal ad- visers to the exporters, whose docks, warehouses and huge stocks of liquor and beer are tied up as a result of the seizure, was not expected by Provincial Police authorities, This was admitted tonight. ; A few hours after the seizure was made, Inspector Elliott stated that the next move was up to the export- ers, 0, he intimated, would be compelled to take the seizure to the local Police Court, in accordance with the section of the Liquor Con- trol Act under which the seizures were made. Unperturbed, however, at the threat of Clark and Jasperson to deal directly with the Supreme Court, Government auditors are continuing their examination of the books and sales slips. This will not be com- tonight, and the result will be for- warded to Sir Henry Drayton, Chair- man of the Liquor Control Board, who ordered the seizures. While the Windsor docks are clo- sed and out of business temporarily, fleets of fast motor boats are pat- ronizing docks east and west of the Erie Tramsit and Nathanson docks. It was reported tomight by Cus- toms officers whose business it is to issue clearance and other papers necessary for liquor export, that ex- porters at Riverside, Tecumseh and Belle River have been especially busy the last two days.

REPRESENTED ON BANK BOARD (Continued from page 1) ficient service, which the branch of the Bank here will continue to give the pubiic as in the past. "We will continue exactly as formerly, except for the change of name," he said, The manager of the Bank of Commerce, W. D. Elliot, expressed satisfaction with the merger, point- ing out the much larger field of service which could be rendered to manufacturing concerns in the city and customers generally, There is very little duplication in the branches of these two banks, and firms engaged in manufacturing will have a much larger number of towns in Canada on which they can draw drafts and negotiate oth- er financial paper, through the same hank. "The members of the staff in neither bank need feel any apprehension," said Mr. Elliott, "for I have always found in Bank of Commerce mergers, that staff members of incoming banks are always accorded the most cordial treatment." The branch of the Bank of Com- merce was established here in 1913, and some years after the modern building in which the Osh- awa branch is now housed on Sim- coe street north was erected. Un- der Manager Elliott there are nine staff members, R. H, Carpenter he- ing the accountant, During the year that Mr, Elliot has been man- ager here, the business has increas- ed to such anh extent that five employees have heen added to the staff, The branch of the Standard Bank here is, of course ,as old as the bank itself, and Is the original head office of the bank, although the head office has since heen mov- ed to Toronto, Under Manager E, CO, Hodgins there are 11 employees in the local hranch, at King and Simcoe strects, Major Hodgins has been manager here since 1921. A more detailed history of the Stand- ard Bank appears in another eol- umn. Besides Oshawa, the only towns in this district that will see a du- plication of branches by the merger are Whithy and Port Perry, Recent Deaths JAMES MOORE After an illness of about two weeks, Jimmy Moore, seven-year- old son of Mr. and Mrs. J.

N. Gibbs and Mr, W. F, Cowan OVER 225 BRANCHES Western Bank, Merged With Standard in 1908, Also / Formed Here A particularly happy relation has existed for many years be- tween Oshawa and the Standard Bank of Canada which is announc- ed today will be merged with the Canadian Bank of Commerce, Osh- awa men founded the Standard Bank, and though that great in- stitution's over 225 branches and sub-branches have their head of- fice in Toronto, Oshawa is its' homé. For this city, then a little town of some §,000 inhabitants, was the home of the Hon, T. N. Gibbs organizer and first president of the Standard Bank; and of Mr. W. F. Cowan its first vice-presi- dent and moving spirit in its es- tablishment who succeeded to the presidency of the institution in 1882 on the death of Hon., Mr, Gibbs. Mr .Cowan's service to the Standard Bank embraced a period of 45 years 35 of which he was its chief executive, The growth of the Standard Bank of Canada has always been a matter of pride to Oshawa citi- zens, At the close of 1873 the Standard Bank's deposits totalled $306,120. On January 8 of the current year its deposits were $82,- 000,000, covered by over $100w 000,000 of assets. With these current figures goes a statement of Paid Up Capital which is $4,- 823,400 together with a Reserve Fund of $3,318,353, The Oshawa branch of the Standard Bank is in a most sub- stantial position, Its local busi- ness under the management of Major E. C. Hodgins since 1921, represents transactions involving millions of dollars each year, The bank's staff numbers twelve of- ficials and - juniors, Mr, H. G. Robbins heing the accountant. Intir « , connected with the development of the Stanflard Bank into which it was merged in 1908, the Western Bank of Oanada was founded in 1874. Its president was Mr, John Cowan, and W. PF. Cowan, his brother, serving as vice-president of the one-year-old Standard Bank, became its first vice-president. Mr, T, H. McMil- lan was general manager, and its Board of Directors consisted of James A. Gibson, Oshawa; WwW, F. Allen and Thomas Patterson of Bowmanvillle, and Dr, McIntosi of Newcastle, The Western Bank' did not de- velop along national or even proy- Incial lines hut it did serve th Oshawa district intensively, ir- cluding in its growing operations all Ontario and surrounding coun- ties. This development accoun in part for the fact that the Staf- dard Bank is most strongly efi- trenched today between Toronto and Kingston. Each community of banking size between those tics has its thriving branch of the Standard Bank, It is an interesting fact that much of the original stock of hoth the Standard and Western Banks are held in Oshawa and vicinity. On the amalgamation "of the Standard and Western Banks iu 1909, Mr. T. H. McMillan was made a director of tp: Standgrd Bank of Capada, and was succeed- ed as manager of the Oshawa branch by Mr. J. P. Owens. I. Owens retired in 1919, and for two years the local branch was under the mapagement of Mr. H. G. Hutchinson, now manager of the Port Perry branch. In 1921 Major E. C. Hodgins assumed the management of th»? Standard Bank in Oshawa, having WHERE THE BODY OF VERNE MILLS WAS FOUND On the Port Perry--Oshawa Highway, the body of Verne Mills, formerly of Lindsay was located early Wednesday morning, face downwards in Cedar Creek. Nearly an upturned car gave strength to the fact that seemed to agree that am accident caused Mills' death, Mills had met his death through an accident. The witnesses at the although many theories have been advanced. inquest yesterday The creek itcelf is full of weeds and is truly am eerie spot for anyone to meet death. The body was found without amy water in the lungs, a fact which caused an immediate investigation of the cir- cumstances surrounding the accident, est Evidence Tends to Show That Mills Died MAJOR E.

Following this they went to Thorold by radial to join in the parade there, where they had the honor of leading. There were no prizes for the hands but after being judged the Oshawa band received the congratulations of the judges and were spoken of as the best band in the parade.

The im- quest was conducted by Crown Attorney J. A, McGibbon before Coroner Dr. J. A. Mathers in the Town Hall, Port Perry, yesterday afternoon and after seven witnesses had been heard, it was adjourned until July 27 when the report of the findings of the contents of the stomach will be known. Dr, A. BE. Stewart one of the witnesses to be questioned yeste:- day afternoon, stated that the fracture of the sphenoid bone =t the base of the nose which he had found after examining the body, was sufficient to cause death, and he admitted when questioned that this could possibly happen when the car which Mills was driving struck the abutment of the bridge landing him on his feet with some force. Dr. Stewart further stated that it was not possible for Mills to be immediaely killed through the fracture but could have got out of hs car when it was in the ditch, climbed up on the bridge and then be stricken, to fall over into the water, dead. The first witness to he called was John Russell Heard, a tele- graph operator in Oshawa. He testified that he was coming back to Oshawa in his car about fiv2 o'clock Standard Time when he noticed a car overturned in the east side of the ditch to the north of the bridge over Cedar Creek. He stopped his car and in company with two friends went back to see if anyone had beep hurt. On look- ing into the creek, he stated that he saw the hody of Mills floating face downwards in the water about five feet from the south shore of the creek and about eight feet from the bridge. The feet were pointing in a northerly direction. Previous to this he had examined the tracks the car had made in going into the ditch and found the left tires had been off the highway for a distance of about forty fee! while the car had left the solid road at a point only about eight feet from where it was found. Heard then went on into Oshawa where he reported the matter to L:e police. John Russell, the second witness called had heen with Heard and verified the latter's evidence as '0 the location of the body and the car at the time they saw it, they did not attempt to take the body out of the water, Russell Barker, George Banner and Albert Dodd all gave evidence surrounding the finding of the body and the taking it out of the water, A rail had been used to to draw the body in close to the shore it was told the Coroner and t was then taken out and a doc- tor called. Dr. A, E. Stewart gave a thor- ough professional report on his findings ip the autopsy, The abdo- men and all associated organs were normal. The contents of the stomach were taken and sent to Tcrontc. The heart gpd lungs showed nothing abnormal, there being no water in the lungs while the heart gave nothing to suggest of heart failure. The organs of the throat were all in first class condition, In the head, Dr. Stewart stated he found no fracture of the skull and no concussion of the brain. He found however a fracture of the sphenoid bope which is a sea- sative part at the back of the nose. This fracture may have caused death or jt was possible that the cl tting of the blood re- sulting from the fracture in that lccation may have caused death by suffocation, Several spots were also found on the head and arms of the body which Dr. Stewart stated were due to leeches which had attacked the body when it entered the water. There was nothing about the body to show violence of any kind. Michael Georges of Lindsay was the last witness to be called. He told of having been with Mills on the night before the tragedy and of Mills speaking to him about the $175 which he owed Georges. Mills asked him for a little while longer in which to pay the money, Georges told the coroner and this he granted. He left Mills about 11.30 o'clock and it is possible that he was the last man to be in conver- sation with Mills before he met his death.

"Speeches should he prepared carefully. One must know what she wants to say hefore she can say it. And, unless a woman has had much experience, she never should speak extemporaneously. If she puts a little time and attention ins to it, she will find she really ean talk. "Women fail to realize that through their own careless habits of address much of their force what they have to say fis lost. "If women get worried when talking, their light, naturally high- piteh voices hecome stridant and discordant. But when they are sure of what they want to say they can have an easy delivery, In time they wil] realize that a speech should be prepared just the same as a dinner."
