Mills came to his death on the Oshawa road from Port Perry near Cedar Creek on the morning of July 11, 1928, as a result of injuries sustained by him when his auto struck the bridge abutment, and the condi- tions were entirely accidental," Such was the verdict brought back by the jury in the inquest con- ducted by Coroner Dr. A. J, Math- ers of Port Perry, into the death of Vernon W, Mills, employed up until his death as paymaster at the W. E, Phillips Glass Company, Thus ends a sensational case which came to light on the morn- ing of July 11 when early morning motorists on the road from Port Perry to Oshawa found an auto- mobile turned over on its side with no windows broken or doors open, and the body of a man who had been dead for more than an hour floating face downwards in four feet of water, fifteen feet from the car and eight feet from the bridge which spans the creek. An inquest was immediately cal- led, and Coroner Dr, J, A, Math- ers impanelled M, Beare, N, Sweet man, F, Brock, W, Anderson C, Bowerman, F, Ferguson and Harry Nasmith as jurymen, with the last mentioned as foreman. The prelim- inary hearing was held on Friday, July 13, and seven witnesses were called, all of whom gave evidence which tended to indicate that death had been met by accident, Those called on that occasion were ui, A, E, Stewart, John Russell Heard, John Russell, Russell Barker, George Banner, Albert Dodd and Georges Michael, Crown Attorney J. A, McGibbon of Oshawa conduct- ed the inquest and C. G., Frost of Lindsay represented Mills' family, Prior to the opening of the in- quést, so mysterious did the trag- edy appear that three theories were advanced as the cause of death. Murder, suicide and accident all were held within the realm of pos- sibility until the inquest, held on Fridoy, July 13, enunnatea the Friday, July 13, eliminated the theory of murder and almost the theory of suicide, The last peg under the rheusy of suicide was knocked out ar ue inquest when it was resumed iu Port Perry Town Hall yesterday af- terpoon, The report of the chemi. eal findings of the contents of the stomach, which was examined by Professor Rogers, of Toronto, wus read to the jury by Crown Attorney MeGibhon, and it showed thar wo Too Late to Classify FOR SALE--A HAPPY THOUGHT Range.

She tes- tified that at about 1,30 a.m, Stan- dard Time on the morning of the accident, Vernon had called in at her home before returning to Osh- awa, but had stayed for five min- utes, since it was late, and he com- plained of being tired. She told the Coroner that she had noticed noth- ing abnormal about her brother at that time. Crown Attorney J. A, McGibbon then produced Mills' personal ef- fects, found on him at the time of the accident, including his wedding ring, which had been taken off his finger for some unknown reason. Then Mr. MeGibbon produced all the articles and documents which had been in the drawer of Mills' desk at the W. E. Phillips Com- pany, Among these findings was a letter addressed to his wife, which contained an account of all Mills' financial affairs, Another note was produced, which has been previously published, ad- dressed to his wife stating that his financial condition was near the breaking point, and unless "Mike" would help him, the Good Lord might. The Mike referred to was Michael Georges, who gave evi dence at the first hearing. Another note was produced aa- dressed to Mike, probably written the day before the tragedy, it read: Dear Mike--Thanks for your kind offer to help me. Am going to Oshawa and will be back tomor- row. (Signed) Verne. Following the laying of this evi- dence before the coromer and jury, Crown Attorney McGibbon then re- viewed the case and pointed out that the evidence produced only seemed to indicate one conclusion as to the cause of the death, but he left it to them to decide whether the injuries sustained were suffi- cient to cause death or mot. The jury then withdrew and after only 12 minutes of deliberation, brought back the verdict of death by acci- dent. BODY OF A BABE FOUND IN WEEDS AT LAKE SCUGDG Could Not Be ldentified -- Inquest in Port Perry Yesterday The story of how an unknown, unidentitied male baby, not in any case more than ome month old, was found in a decomposed condi- tion floating among some weeds fifty yards from the saw mill at Port Perry in Lake Scugog was reviewed at the inquest conducted by Crown Attorney J. A. McGib- bon before Coroner Dr, J, A. Math- ers at Port Perry Town Hall yes- terday afternoon, The babe, naked and so decom- posed that there were. actual holes in the top of the head and on the abdomen, was found by two boys Wm, Cawker, aged 12, and Jack Orde, aged 10, when they wore rowing from the Port Perry pler over to their boat house about 12 o'clock, July 18. Nothing to iden- tity it, nothing to establish the cause of death and nothing even to prove that the babe had ever seen the light of day could be found as evidence to lay before the Coroner's jury. It was merely found by these two boys, taken from the water by Chief of Police Nesbitt of Port Perry, taken to McDermott's fun- eral home at Port Perry for a post mortem which was conducted by Dr, A, BE, Stewart and then given a simple burial at the expense of the municpality of Port Perry, At the inquest yesterday after- noon, Dr, A, E, Stewart, the two boys and Chief of Police Nesbitt were the only ones called, The two boys tol dtheir story of find- ing the body in its gruesome con- dition, Chief of Police Nesbitt told of taking it out of the water and Dr, Stewart told of his findings in the post mortem, After they had been out about fifteen minutes, the jury brought back the following verdict: 'We, the jury, find that the unknown male infant found on July 18 in Lake Scugog came to its death in an unknown manner at the hands of some person or persons un- known," The provicial and Port Perry police have heen investigating the case thoroughly but as yet have found no further light to throw upon the mystery. The jury who brought back the verdict were: N. Sweetman, foreman; M. Beare, C Bowerman, FP, Ferguson, R. Bil- lan and H, Nasmith, ROAD MAPS ARE TOBE ISSUED SOON Royal Automobile Club Will Make Available New Information Hitherto unpublished information has been recently collected by the of ficials of the Royal Automobile Club of Canada, and in the 'form of maps and directories will be published soon, For some time past, the club has been working on the preparation of a transcontinental road map. in re- sponse to the numerous inquiries which have reached its offices re- garding the available routes for transcontinental motor tours, with Montreal as the starting point. The first copy of the recently completed map was shown by George McNamee, manager and secretary. Accompanying this map is data, such as route numbers, running di- rections, mileages, important centres and hotels, The information so far as eastern Canada is concerned is given in condensed form, since these main routes are well defined, but more explicit directions help the mo- torist in the western provinces over the difficulties of the diversity routes available, the necessary bridg- ing of gaps by rail or steamboat, and deviations into United States terri- tory because of uncompleted sections of the all-Canadian route. Another innovation of the club is a list of the numbered highways in the provinces of Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and the State of New York, with other important roads not yet numbered, WINNIPEG MAN IS ORANGE MASTER Edmonton, July 27--Electing offi- cers and naming Montreal as the meeting place for 1929, the Grand Orange Fe of British America wound up its minety-eighth annual sesion of the organization here last night.

McBrien, whose death occurred on Wednesday, when an impressive service, con- ductedd by Rev. C. E, Cragg, was held in the family residence, 117 Alice street at 2.30 o'clock this af- ternoon, Last night saw an impres- sive incident when 200 men from the Final Assembly department, of which Mr. McBrien was foreman, came to pay their last tribute to their beloved fellow worker. Today another large body was on hand and following the service, many followed the funeral car to Grove- side Cemetery, Brooklin, where in- terment was made. The pall bearers, all fellow workers in General Motors, were: Clayton Downey, Will Woodward, Andy Cook, Lon Lidgett, Robert Joyce and Normon Gerry. SPECIAL SERVICES AT HOLY TRINITY Anticipate Inspiring Sessions in Connection With the Mission Commencing Wednesday, Aug- ust 1, sepcial services will be con- ducted in the new Holy Trinity Anglican Church, corner of Court and Barrie streets, under the di- rection of group A, Church Army Crusaders, of England, who are spending four months in Canada. Captain Rodgers, of London, Eng- land, will be in charge, while he will be accompanied by Captain Casey, field secretary, and six oth- ers including three men and three women, The crusaders will lead in preaching, prayer, service of song and visiting members of the parish. Their work is entirely evangelical, and according to Rev, Capt. 8 C, Jarrett, rector of Holy Trinity Church, many of them have left lu- crative and important positions to offer themselves in Christian ser- vice, In the old country the or- ganization performs extensive work in opening up new parishes and in boosting those which have been hut recently opened, They came to this country under invitation of the Primate of All Canada and the Bi- shops of all the Dioceses acting in conjunction with the Archbishop of Canterbury, and there 1s every pos- sibility that a similar organization may be founded in the Dominion, Group A comes to Oshawa from Cobourg and that their stay in the city will be a husy one is seen from the following interesting program: Wetnesday, Aug. 1, arrive in time for lunch; service; 7.15 p.m., open air wit- ness; 8.00, mission service In church, followed by a social halt hour to allow people and crusad- ers to become acquainted with one another, Thursday, Aug. 2, 8 am.

In the final episode--the storming of the heights of Inkerman--there is a furious hand-to-hand struggle for the British colors. During the melee Fusilier Muston, of the First Battalion Royal Scots Fusiliers, who holds the standard on the top of a rock, feigns that he has been shot and falls. In so doing he pitched on to the bayonet of one of the attacking Rus- sians, the weapon passing into the right side of his chest: Owing to the smoke-laden air and the general confusion of the battle scene, neither the performers nor the audience noticed for some mo- ments that Muston was really wounded. Immediately the accident was dis- covered ambulance men rushed into the arena and carried Muston to the RAMC. Depot in Olympia. After first mid treatment he was removed to Millbank Military Hospital. Although the fusilier's injury was serious, he is making satisfactory progress. - This is the third accident of the tournament this year.

Cosmo Gordon Lang, Archbi- shop of York, to succeed Right Rev. Dandall Thomas Davidson, Archibi- ship of Canterbury, when Dr. David- sun retires from the Archbishopric on Nov. 12, it was announced official- ly tonight, The translation of Dr. Lang from York to Canterbury was enerally anticipated ever since Dr. avidson first intimated his resigna- tion was impending. Indeed in view of the peculiar circumstances in which the Church of England finds itself in Britain at present, it is dif- ficult to imagine any other selection. The Archbishop of York has been Dr. Davidson's devoted adjutant in his long efforts to guide the Established Church aright in devising new formu- las for public worship. Born in Scotland For exactly twenty years Dr, Lang has been head of the Northern Ecclesiastical Province, Like Dr, Davidson, he comes from a Scottish Presbyterian manse, and his aged father, then an ex-Moderator of the Scottish Church was present at his enthronement in York Minster, Perhaps the most active years of Dr, Lang, who is now 63 years' old were when, as Bishop of Stepney, he was the present Bishop of London's deputy in overseeing the spiritual life of the East End of London, Possibly the responsibilities of his high office at York have moderated somewhat his earlier enthusiasms, nevertheless, he is still one of the most forceful debaters in the House of Lords, and one of the best plat- form speakers in the country, Archbishop Lang has always maintained an intense interest in Canada. Twenty years ago he was offered the Archbishopric of Mon» treal. If he was not the first man of note who * asserted that Canada was a natioin, he was certainly one of the first who was convinced that she was going to be one, and that before very long. Such an assertion came from him often when in the pre-war days he organized, with the Archbishop of Canterbury, a special fund for Church work in Western Canada. He once declared that Can- ada in 60 years would be the centre of the Empire. | Successor Not Named i In popular assemblies archbishop Lang has a genius for pressing home common truths, "Don't tell me he is not married," a Yorkshire woman de- clared, after the Archbishop had ad- dressed a woman's union concerning his single state. ¥ The story goes that Queen Vic- toria once urged upon him that he ought to marry. "Your Majesty," his Grace is said to have replied, "if I have a curate who is unsatisfactory I can dispose of him, but a wife is another matter." No announcement has been made concerning the successor to Dr. at York. The names of the Bishops of Durham, Winchester and Oxford haye been mentioned, but such specu- lations are pure conjecture. The next Archbishop of Canter- bury and Primate of All England, as stated, is 63 years of age. His father was the late Very Rev. Jobn Mar- shall Lang. He was educated at Glasgow University and Oxford, and after a curacy at Leeds, 1890-93, was successively Dean of Divinity at Magdalen, Oxford; Vicar of Oxford University Church, St. Mary's; Vicar of Portsea, Bishop of Stepney, and Canon of St. Paul's until in 1908 he was elevated to the Archbishopric of York.

NEW YORK CENTRAL PLANS AIR SERVICE NEW York, July 27--Competition for the recently announced transcontin- ental air-rail service, built around the Pennsylvania Railway ,appeared to be materializing today, with the dis- closure that negotiations are under way for a similar service, in which the New York Central Railway will play a large part. Whereas the first route, now be- ing surveyed, would pass through the southwestern portion of the country, the newer one is intended to serve the northwest by linking the New York Central with the Canadian || Pacific and Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroads, the Roe- ing Airways Corporation and the Mid-Plane Transit Company of Min- neapolis. Plans contemplate establishment of preliminary air-rail routes between Minneapolis, St. Paul and Winnipeg; Minneapolis, St. Paul and Detroit, via Duluth, and between Duluth and Chicago, with a route to be establish- ed later between Detroit and Duluth | he across Lake Michigan.
