Griffiths & Co., of Toronto, are the new plumb- ing sub-contractors, replacing the Windsor firm with which the J. W.

Six- teen truckloads of plumbing fix- tures are on their way to the job, and are arriving today and tomor- row. As soon as they arrive, the rest of the bathtubs will be install. .|ed, which will enable the tile work- ers and plasterers to finish their work in the bathrooms.

ART TREASURES ° FOUND IN OLD FOREST HOME Residence Formerly Owned By Eccentric English Gentleman London, Oct. 23.--A rich store of art treasures was found recent- ly in a big house at High Beach, in the heart of Epping Forest, where Adolphus Herman Louis, regarded by his neighbors as eccentric died. He lived a life of retirement but he was fond of children and often stopped to speak to them. Louis made no will, and as no relatives have heen traced his resi- dence and its contents are to be sold by auction, and the Crown will take the proceeds. His pictures include two hy Cor- ot and other artists represented are Constable, Herring, Leader, Graham and Mulready. He had water colors by Birket Foster, etchings by Whistler and Strang, but it is said that he valued more than anything else two photos graphs of Mr. Gladstone, whom he reverenced. His library consisted of 6,000 volumes including early editions of Dickens and Hardy. He had business interests in Lon- don but had given them no person- al attention for some years, prefer- ring to live in seclusion wity his hooks and pictures, HURRICANE DEALT HARSHLY WITH BIRDS Washington, D.C., Oct. 23.--In addition to the terrific blow deliv- ered at human life and property, the West Indian hurricane is believed by nature lovers to have dealt harsh- ly with bird apd plant life in the western world, Chief of the concerns of the Ame- rican Nature Association is that the hurricabe may have wiped out the last colony of flamingoes, the "flame bird" which once spread its gorgeous plumage over the West Indies and southern United States. These birds, the Association says, were almost exterminated by the hurricane of two years ago and it fears that the few remaining on An- dros Island; one of the Bahamas group, could not have survived the terrific blow. Andros was declared a flamingo sanctuary by the British Govern- ment after bird lovers of the Upit- ed States and England became arous- ed at the wanton killing of the birds by the natives. Elgin W. Forsyth was appointed to stand between the last of these birds and extermination by meat hungry natives. The Andros negroes, cruising for two or three months at a time jin their sponging schooners off the western coast, long for fresh meat to 8 ment their diet of flour, rice, fish and tinned beef.

MAY BE ABLE TO TELEPHONE FROM A PLANE IN FLIGHT New York, Oct, 23.--An experi- ment comparable in many respects to trans-atlantic telephony and having a business application that may prove far more general, is be- ing worked out at the present time by the Boeing Air Transport Com- pany, operators of the New York San Prancisco air mail, and the Bell Telephone laboratories of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. If it succeeds, the business man of the future, who is already con- templating coast-to-coast travel by air or by &ir-rail combinations, will no longer be isolated from his world of business hetween the time he steps into a plane and the mo- ment when his feet again feel solid ground beneath them. He will have at his elbow a telephone similar to the one in his private office, on whieh he may converse with any place In the country served by long distance telephone lines or on which his office may call him at any time if questions arise requir. ing his immediate personal decis- fon, "Is this the long distance oper- ator?" his private secretary will ask as she picks up the telephone. "Will you please connect me with Mr. J. G. Smith, who took off from Cheyenne ten minutes ago on the regular air express for San Fran- cisco?" A few minutes later a light will flare up or a bell tipkle in the radio booth of the luxurious cabin plane in which Mr. Smith is speed- ing west. "Boeing air transport plane No. 6, westbound," he will say, and a moment later Mr. Smith in a sound- proof booth, which is being borne toward the Pacific at the rate of two miles 2 minute, will go into conference with his office and very probably learn something necessi- tating him to telephone Rock Springs for a special plane to take him back to New York, or at least to call up San Francisco and make or break a dinner appointment for the same evening. EDISON HEARS HIS ORIGINAL RECORD West Orange, N.J., Oct. 23.-- Thomas A. Edison recalled Satur- day night how more than 650 years ago he stood before a flimsy little contraption of his own invention, recited, "Mary Had a Little Lamb," and heard the inanimate machine repeat his words, the world's first phonographic reproduction. The occasion of his recollections was the presentation to him of a Congressional gold medal at exer- cises .at which the British Govern- ment eturned to him that same first phonograph. "It is indeed a source of much gratification to me," he said, speaking over a nation-wide radio hook-up over which laudatory re- marks about him had already been broadcast by President Coolidge and Secretary of the Treasury, An- drew W. Mellon.

ENGLISH TRAMPS TREATED ROYALLY G. T. Gibbons Keeps Open House For "Knights of * The Road" London, Oct. 23.--The point of view of the tramp who calls at a house and is put off with a dry crust is put by J. T, Gibbons, who for three years has had an open house for tramps at Spring House, Heckmondwikes, says the Daily News. In order to get into close touch with men on the road Mr. Gibbons has tramped the highways for months at a time, and has slept in 756 casual wards. Describing to a Mansfield meeting his own travels 8s a tramp, he said; "I have thrown bread over the hedge and have refused work. Think of a man just let out of the casual ward after a breakfast of two thick slices of bread and margarine, and who, having walk- ed eight or nine miles, calls at a house, He is offered two thick slices of bread, with perhaps a hit of cheese hetween, He has not felt like that, for it was not hunger that made him call. He called as I did, in the hope that someone would say a kind word to him, He wanted sympathy, and bread and cheese were thrust at him. "How many realize that these men on the road suffer not only physically but mentally?" he ask- ed, "I have felt this mental tor- ture even though I could see the end of my journey, The feeling that there is no one to give the kindly word for weeks on end is terrible. If such a man calls at your house take him into your house, treat him as your brother, and he will respond to kindness." At Spring House, said Mr. Gib- bons, who is known as the tramp's friend, there are always 15 *road- sters" in residence. Its doors are never locked, and during its ex- istence he has never known any- thing to be stolen, On entering the men are given a change of clothing, are fed well are helped to feel they are ro- spettable members of society again, and after a few weeks' stay are helped to find employment.

The jury added a rider that they did not consider Milton to be 'the prime mover in the offence. Asked if he had anything to say. Milton replied: "Although I have acted indiscreetly, I have acted in good faith." in Regard Occupants of Car Admit Having Had Beer a Few Minutes Previously in the Evening -- Three Nurses of Ontario Hospital Give Evidence at Inquest -- Verdict Says Driver of the Car Inexperienced (By Staff R er) Whitby, Oct. 23.--""The said Sam- uel Vanstone came to his death on the 12th day of October, 1928, in the town of Whitby on Brock street south, about 11.30 o'clock, he being electrocuted by a live wire hanging from an electric pole, which was bro- ken off by collision of a car owned by H. S. Ross, of Port Whitby, and driven by Wellington Kent, of Sauit Ste. Marie, an, inexperienced driver." Such was the verdict of a coroner's jury, empanelled under Dr. D. 8S. Hoig, of Oshawa, which investigated the circumstances surrounding the death of Samuel Vanstone, well known resident of the town, who met death by electrocution, when he at- tempted to go to the scene of 4 motor accident on Brock street. south, a week ago last Friday night. Crown Attorney J. C. McGibbon, ot Osh- awa, conducted the inquest which laste] over two hours, more than twenty witnesses being called. "The jury, v.th Mayor John Bat man as foreman, was not long in returning its verdict. Occupants of Car Three young men, Wellington ent «t Sauit Ste. Marie; Hugh Ross and Gordon Kennedy, Whitby, who with three' guls had been occupying the car at the time of the accident, were first called to testify, Kent, who ad- mitted that he was at the wheel of the machine when it smashed into the hydro standard, briefly related the circumstances leading up 10 the smash. About 8 o'clock he, vith the other two, had leit Whithy m the car, They were accompanied by the three young ladies, nurses at the On- tario Hospital. First they drove cast on the highway and then turned north on a side road. There they stopped and drank a small quantity of beer. Returning to the highway they drove west as far as Westhill. They had passed through Pickering on the way home before he took a turn at the wheel. Kent described the condition of the road as slippery and said it was a dark night. He denied that he was traveling faster than 25 miles an hour when the car skidded on the shoulder of the road. and slewed across smashing against the pole. Young Lady Hurt "Miss Middleton was sitting in the front scat with me," he stated, "and was pinned beneath. I crawled out of the wreck but I had not seen the wires fall and when I attempted to lift the car I got a shock." Kent had not seen Mr. Vanstone electrocuted for after the girls *had been extricated from the car, he, with Ross and Kennedy, had removed them to Dr, MacLaren's office. He noticed two wires spluttering by the car and pushed them away with a board. Questioned by Crown Attor- ney McGibhon he admitted that he did not have a driver's license. Confirms Story The story told by Ross and Ken- nedy largely confirmed that of Kent, Both young men admitted haying beer in the car but declared that it was only five or six bottles among six of them . Ross's first intimation of the accideng came when he felt the car go off the shoulder of the road and slew sideways and back- wards across the highway. When the car had upset in the ditch he had crawled out of the: rear window and helped extricate two of the girls, He had hailed a taxi travelling south and placing the girls in it had accom- panied them to Dr. MacLaren's of- fice, He had been shocked by a live wire but was not hurt. Called Utilities Gordon Kennedy testified that he had ta"vy) Miss Neill to the doctor's office and while there had requested someone to phone the public utility commission and have the power turn- ed off, Alice Middleton, one of the three young ladies, was called to give evi- dence. The party was a little late returning to the hospital she stated, and admitted saying to Kent, "It's late, step on the gas." However, she was sure they were not travelling fast. When the accident occurred she was rendered unconscious and didn't realize what had happened. jop of Court rotection D. A. J. Swanson, of Oshawa, who is acting as counsel for Ross, Ken- nedy and Kent, asked the protection of the court in all evidence given. He made a similar request for Miss Middleton, Coroner Hoig acceding to cach, The efforts made to resuscitate Mr. Vanstone after he had been el- ectrocuted, were well described by John Blow, scoutmaster of the Port Whitby scout troop and teacher at Centre street public school, Oshawa. Mr. Blow, who was returning home after calling on a friend, was attract- ed to the accident by the crash and a flare of light which lit up the sky. He saw two wires on the pavement bouncing in flames and a third wire, apparently dead, hanging suspended at a level chbove the ordinary man's height. He took part in the efforts to raise the wrecked car and release the girl who was pinned inside. While he took certain precautions the oth- ers did not and he saw Bill Heard, Reg Parrott and Farnest Vanstome, 'brother of the deccased, get shocked. Vanstone Crown Attorney Silent to Further Charges Against Driver After the girl had been released he posted himself at the head of the block on his bicycle to warn people of the danger caused by the broken wires, but before doing so he had at- tempted unsuccessiu to get in touch with the superintendent of the public utility commission by tele- phone. He was told that others had advised the proper authorities, how- ever, and as things had quieted down he was about to leave for home when someone called out "There goes your brother." Sees Man Fall He turned and saw a figure tumble in to the ditch. He was told that it was Sam Vanstone and immediately went to his assistance. After Mr, Vanstone had been carried into the home of his brother, Ernest Van- stone, he attempted first aid measur- es and artificial respiration. After removing something from the inert man's moth the artificial breathing began quite freely. Some time later Mr. McGillivray arrived, followed by Dr. MacLaren and Dr. Proctor, Ei- forts at resuscitation were continued for three hours and Mr. Blow was certain that everything humanly pos- sible had been done to restore life. "l wish 10 commend you for your actions, Mr. Blow," added Mr. Mc- Gibbon, "you behaved in a very cre- ditable manner." Praises Scoutmaster Dr. C. F. McGillivray, the first physician to arrive at the dead man's side, was also warm in his praise for the assistance rendered by the local scout master, He stated that he was called to Vanstone's home at about 11.25 o'clock. When he arrived he elt the victim's pulse and could dis- tinguish no sign of life. He admin- istered a heart stimulus and asked that another doctor be called.
