T. Moore, of Sodus, N.Y, or to Moores em- vloyee, Geo. E. Waters, The seiz- ure was made on account of irreg- uluarities which the police alleged been made in shipping, but in court evidence had been giv- en to prove that all customs regu- lations had been complied with. The fact that only half the consign- ment of liquor, which had been dispatched to the harbor from the brewery via a large truck, was tak- ' en out on Waters' boat, while the remaining cases were left on shore was explained when it was stated that a second boat which was sup- posed to convey the balance of the 'shipment had broken down, thus = | Deter? 87 Celina St, Phone 1088 [Ea NE We Repair Anything Bought in a Jewelry Store BASSETTS JEWELLERS On Oshawa's Main Corner AA "ROOF LEAKING?"

His Worship commented that in so far as Ontario or Canada was concerned there had been no in- fractions of any law governing the export of liquor. He had been 1m- terviewed by Moore previously and was satisfied as to his identity, while he also was convinced that the liquor belonged to him. : Refer- ring to the importation of beer in the United States, he pointed out that it was not Canada's business, saying, "They have prohibition over there, let them work it out them- selves." A laugh was caused in court when Waters, the only one to give evidence yesterday, claimed that the wet goods had been delivered across the border, and attempted to explain the word '"'deliver'" when told that Moore had made a state- ment to the effect that the first shipnrent of 60 cases had never reached him. Delivery in the lig- uor-carrying trade, he averred, was completed when the craft, while close to the United States shore, would dump its cargo into the shal- low water to be fished up later by other vessels, and thus distributed through devious channels to thirsty Americans. Crown Attorney J. A. McGibbon was opposed to giving up the beer unless Moore appeared in person for it, claiming that under the Liq- uor Control Act Waters could not represent him, "1 understand," he stated, points ing to Waters, "that this man rep- resented himself as Moore before an official of the liquor control board." The boat captain denied that he had ever done so, and also express ed ignorance when told that his employer had stated to local au- thorities that a warrant had been fssued for his arrest in the United States for the theft of his (Moore's) boat. He claimed to have been in conference with his employer yesterday, and that no such intimation was given him, Another Interesting point was brought up when Waters was asked how the brewery was paid. He claimed that Moore gave him $400 and that he met the agent of the brewery in town and paid him in cash out of this sum. He could not say who the agent was. Ac- cording to the court's information, Ted Raymond, 55 Albert street, Kitchener, driver of the truck which conveyed the liquor to the harbor, had been arrested for steal- ing money from the brewery. Wa- ters denied that this was the agent to whom he had paid the money, Unless some other claimant should appear in the meanwhile, the 60 cases, which have been stor- ed securely in the town hall, will; be given up on Monday, Aug. 13, The tallor says a Atting occas. fon is always suitable, LAST DAY - TOMORROW Mid-Summer Clearance Sale SPECIAL FOR THE BIG PICNIC Pic-nic Dresses In Smart Attractive Styles - For Young or Old.

Kerr. It is many years since these handsome ape pearing gums have received such attention, and already they pre- sent a much improved appearance. The pieces are of British make and were cast the year before Con- federation. On brass plates insert- ed on the base of each may be seen the initials "R.C.D.," probably ¢ignifying the name of the artillery vegiment to which they belonged. Although many stories exist locally as to where the cannon saw service, it is fairly certain that they were located at the Halifax citadel, and were never put to other than peace- ful uses. It is altogether likely that they fired salutes on the morning that the young Prince Ed- ward, later to become King Ed- ward VII, arrived in Halifax on his tour through Canada. Speaking to the Times yesterday, Mr. Kerr stated that last summer on a Sunday morning an old sol- dier recognized the guns white passing the court house, claiming that every morning and night for from their mouths.

A maximum of 3,800 rural routes has now been reach- ed, this representing an increase of ahout 400 compared with a year ago. The most notable develop- ment is in the western provinces, more demands coming fromr there than from any other parts although all the petitions, when allowed, are not backed up by the necessary subscription of four dollars for de- livery boxes. A petition is being forwarded to the Post Office Department asking the rural mail contractors, serving hoth the Post Office and the rural delivery should be placed on a permanent salary . basis of $70 per mile per year. An organization, promoting this purpose, is active and when the postal estimates are annually discussed in the House of Commons, there is no scant sup- port for an increase for these con- tractors, ous condition in their home and re- SE A --- -- PUBLIC SCHOOL BOYS ON TRIP Will Visit All Provinces on Long Tour of Dominion Montreal, Aug. 9.--A party of young public school boys will ar- rive in Canada this week-end on the White Star liner Calgarie from Liverpool, to tour Canada and Newfoundland, under the di- rection of the School Empire Tour committee of Great Britain. There are 34 in the party which is in charge of Rev. G. H. Wooley, V.C., M.C., and after disembarking at Quebec, they will commence their tour of the Dominion. His. Excellency the' Governor- General, Viscount Willingdon, is particularly interested in this party, and has personally written to the Lieut.-Governors of the dif- ferent provinces asking them wo extend a cordial welcome to the boys, because, he says, they are coming out at the impressionable age, and their experiences will be widely broadcast when they return home. The {itinerary planned for the boys will give them a comprehen- sive impression of Canada, includ- ing Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, Tor- onto, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Ed- monton, Calgary, Jaspar, Lake Louise, Banff, Vancouver and Vie- toria. They are drawn from such schools as the following: Eton, Harrow, Winchester, Rugby, Char- terhouse, Marlborough, Clifton, Fettes, Mill Hill, Kidderminster, Blundell's Stowe, Eastbourne, and many other well-known English and Scotch public schools. The boys will be accompanied, in addition to Rev. Wooley, by Dr. R. H. Gwynn of the Rifle Bri- gade, and Henry Stoudholme, an old Etonian. Last year a very successful tour of South Africa was carried out, and this year the Dominion of Canada is to be visited. PREHISTORIC PLOW FOUND NEAR S800 Sault Ste.
