PAGE FOUR THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1928 The Oshawa Daily Times ts a member of the Cana~ . dian Press, the Canadian Daily JURY Ao J Saati Duy] © Audit Pure & Sucaigons a year; United States, $5.00 a year, TORONTO OFFICE 407 Bond Building, 4a Temperance Street, Telee phous Adelaide 0107, A, D, Tresiddev, repre. senta REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S. Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, --- mT WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1928 ----- oe MADAME IS NOT A FIGHTER The acme of improbability is the appeal to the United States Supreme Court asking that tribunal to rule that opposition to war renders a person ineligible to American citi- genship, The department of justice at Washington holds that Madame Roskia Schwimmer, internationally-known Hungar- ian pacifist, deprived herself of the right to American citizenship when she said she would not kill another person even to save her own life, Why the départment would go to such lengths to bar a woman who refuses to fight, is not clear, She would never be called upon by her adopted country to kill either for her flag or to save her own life, A different com- plexion might be put upon the case were the applicant for citizenship of the gun-bearing sex. Many patriotic but peace-loving Americans find themselves in a dilemma because of the conflicting creeds of those preaching world peace and of those preaching damnation to the pacifists, They see their country in the position of being inimical to both militarism and pacificism, If all men refused to take up arms against another, there could be no more war, But until all men, or the vast majority of them, are pacifists, the pacifist will be looked upon as a menace and an undesirable, AIR STUNTS ARE OUT The epochal flight of the Graf Zeppelin, coupled with the recent transcontinental air races, proved that aviation is both practical and safe, Properly operated by careful pilots air. planes are no longer to be classed as extra hazardous means of transport, Naturally, regard must be had for weather conditions, but the same may be said of an automobile with reference to shaky bridges, dangerous detours, wet pavements and fog. Aviation will never rid itself of accidents go long as pilots indulge in stunt flying, and foolhardy attempts such as that of Lt, Com- mander McDonald, who essayed to fly the Atlantic and has apparently been lost, These practices are foolish and should be rigorously discouraged. The spectacle of an automo- bilist performing suicidal stunts on a speed- way would be no more silly than many fly- ing expeditions are, If the airplane is to come into use for the transport of passengers the rule of safety first must be burned into the brains of pilots as it is impressed upon locomotive engineers, From this time forth all pilots should unite in suppressing the practice of stunt flying. Decreasing air casualities would mean increasing patronage for passenger planes, CHILD AUTO FATALITIES The public will never fail to be shocked by traffic accident statistics until such accidents become as rare as railroad wrecks resulting In loss of life. But this does not make the public incapable 'of appreciating reports showing a decreasing death toll from the sutomobile, especially when they relate to children. There was general satisfaction over recent statistics showing that fewer children are being killed under the wheels of motor vehicles, Analyzed carefully, the steady decrease over the past five years becomes a8 remark- able achievement in the promotion of safety, because in that time the number of motor toll taken by the auto- mobile, intelligent direction of children is work. Drivers must certain regulations, of taught to drive with re- gard for the fundamental rules of safety, in the final analysis it is necessary that 'learn how to take care of him- ties are learning, as the re- training in the public schools, hater wu to diminish the toll taken automobile by intelligent direction of -- on the streets. N ENCOURAGING HIKING An English visitor to Germany has re- ported to the London Spectator his contact with the Wandervogel. Wherever he went in Germany he was astonished by the great numbers of boys and girls, men and women, strolling along the roads. His curiosity fin. ally moved him to investigate, and he dis- covered than an elaborate organization is be- hind the hikers. With characteristic German thoroughness, the Wandervogel have divided the country up into districts, each with an allotment of "Young People's Shelters." In the Rhine- land and the Black Forest a shelter is found in every village. Accommodations are Spar- tan in their simplicity, but adequate, Straw mattresses and pillows, ample facilities for washing and fire for cooking are provided. A foot bath before retiring is compulsory, The sponsors of the movement, which un- doubtedly has many virtues, are fanatic in their belief in it, They regard habitual foot travel in their native land as "the surest bul- wark against consumption, alcohol, tobacco, the cinema, love of pleasure, slavery to fa- shion and effeminacy." Membership is open to all, -_-- EDITORIAL NOTES Masculine conceit was invented when the first man saw his reflection just after shav- ing.

PASSENGERS OF MAIL PLANE ARE UNHURT IN CRASH Pilot and Four Others Extri. cate Themselves from the Wreckage BR Calgary, Oct. 24--The first aero- plane to establish a regular air mail and passenger service between Win- nipeg and Western cities met with disaster today, and last night was a twisted mass of debris in a field five miles east of Calgary. ' After crashing in the field the plane was consumed by fire, though the pilot and Jasseugers escaped serious injury. Some, however, suf- fered slight burns. nt in Tahe-08 The plane, a giant De Haediland, owned by the Western Canada Air- ways, was attempting to take off en route to Edmonton when the accident occurred. Difficulty had been experienced by the pilot, W. J. Buchanan, in getting the plane to leave the ground, He was attempting to land again, when forced to swerve the plane sharply to the left in the direction of the road in order to prevent collision with a number of automobiles and a small crowd which had gathered to see the plane off, Directly in front of him as he swerved to make the forced landing abl 1 found telephone wires and a barbed-wire fence confronting him, while beyond was the road. Secing he could not fly over the telephone wires, he guided the plane under them, over the barbed-wire fence and across the road, but as he landed in the field at the other side flames broke out in the engine, and a min- ute later the plane had been com- pletely wrecked. Pilot and Passengers Escape Buchanan sprang to safety from the open cockpit, while the passen- gers, P Dow, P. A. Leonard, A. McNeill and H, McMaster, scrambled out through a large rent in the fuse- lage, through a window and out a door, Leonard, who was nearest the door, was jammed in the wreckage, block- ing the way for McNeill, who was next to him, Buchanan pulled him and McNeill pushed him from be- hind, and with this assistance he was able to get out, Flames, leaping from the side of the plane, prevented McNeill from following Leonard, and he pushed his way through a rent overhead, while Dow, who was thrown on top of Mec- Master, and who found his way to the rear of the cab blocked by a section of the floor which had been forced up in the crash, scrambled through another tear in the fuselage McMaster climbed through the win- dow, cutting himself on the glass and injuring his leg. OLD SMALL CASE NEARS COMPLETION Authorities Conferred on the Matter This Morning Toronto, Oct, 24.--Dr, Maximil- jan Langsner, M.L,L.C., is endeav- oring to nurse to searchlight pro- portions some 'latent light' that has failed to glow for more than nine years upon the case of the mysterious disappearance of Am- brose J, Small, The "M.L.L.C."" stands for "Mas- ter of Latent Light Culture' of the Latent Light Brotherhood, a cult which is said to have its being and headquarters in Tinnevelly, India; so Dr. Langsner discloted. His full title, borne out by a special stamp upon his stationery, is "A, M. Langsner, M.L.L.C., International Criminologist," In the Jatest detail of Langsner's operations are several which stand out markedly, It is now known that quite recently Langsner summoned Pat" Sullivan, agent for Smalls sisters ,to his presence in a dark- ened room, and there told him sev- eral things about the case which Sullivan avows he thought were known only to himself, Further, Langsner conferred with Deputy Attorney-General Bay- ly yesterday ,and told him certain things which the deputy felt it necessary to report to Hon, W, H. Price, who' in turn felt that Deputy Commissioner Cuddy of the Provin- cial police ought to study with a view to ascertaining if the state- ments were facts, Another important feature is that as a result, Langsner, Cuddy and the Deputy Attorney-General held a special private conference this morning, YOUTH KILLED BENEFACTOR IS SENTENCED TO LIFE TERM Portland, Ore., Oct, 24.--Rex Meade, 15-year-old slayer of E. D. Dewey, his aged benefactor, wae sentenced to life imprisonment yes- terday when he pleaded guilty to murder.

Declares Kitchener, Oct. 24.--Former Provincial Officer Brien in a state- ment yesterday, replying to the re- port handed the Attorney-General by Deputy Commissioner Cuddy, of Shaves that the department is ping an investigation and PRIVATE INT ERESTS WANT CONCESSIONS ON ST. LAWRENCE Holt and Jones Are Not Waiting for Court's Verdict Ottawa, Oct. 24.--Although' the question of ownership and contrlo ol water powers on the St. Lawrence and other navigable rivers is Yefore tne Supreme Court of Lanala, private wmterests who are desrous oi obtain. ing concessions are not waiting for the verdict of the learned Judges, but are moving into position for the im- pending battle. The rival camps are pitclied on op- posite sides of the >t. Lawrence above Montreal, and the significant an- pouncement came yesterday that Frauk P. Jones, former President of the Canada Cement Company, has ac- cepted the Presidency ot the Beau- harnois Light, Heat and Power Com. pany, which secks to Luild a huge canal and power developinent works oa the south side of the river above Montreal, Opposed by Holt Interests This powerful group, with strong allies in Toronto, is opposed by the Holt interests, the Shawinigan and Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company, who are entrenched on the north side of the river, The Beauharnois company is forti- fied by a charter granted by the Que- bec Legislature last session, and has filed an application with the Depart- ment of Public Works at Ottawa, accompanied by plans of the proposed scheme, which is comparable to the Chippawa project of the Ontario Hy- dro-Electric Commission. A public hearing will be held eventually in the Federal Capital, but the date ot this has not been fixed by the Minister of Public Works, pending the return of Hon. Charles A. Dunning, Minister oi Railways and Canals, whose de- partment has supervision over certain navigation aspects. The estimated cost of the Heauharnois scheme ex- ceeds $100,000,000, and niay reach $200,000,000 if certain proposals are adopted. No Need to Wait, They Say In view of the fact that the Pro- vince of Quebec is committed to pow- er development by private interests, the rival groups on the St. Lawrence contend that it is not necessary to await the verdict of the courts re- specting ownership and control of the water powers, claiming that the rentals could be paid to the Province, if the courts decide in favor of the Provinces, and to the Dominion Treasury if the findings of the Judi- cial Committee of the Privy Council are favorable to the Dominion, HASKINS UNABLE T0 SECURE BAIL Crown is Making an Effort to Prove His Innocence Oct. 24.--~The girls who the affidavits charging that it was the car of Arthur Ward of Byron which kill- ed 'William Galloway on Spring- bank Drive last March, and not that of William Haskins, sentenced to serve five years for manslaugh- ter, are Dorothy Kay of 602 Piec- cadilly Street, and Evelyn Staley of 808 Lorne Avenue. Were Going From Dance According to the story of the girls, they and Ward had been to a dance at Byron, but heard of another dance at Manor Park and went there, They did not like the change and resolved to go back to Byron. Just at the city limits they had turned to the left side of the road to keep out of the spray from the wheels of a car ahead of them when they saw a man walking In the same direction, According to thei rstory, Ward swung to one side and the man at the same moment dodged to the left, with the result that the heavy Studebaker struck him and probably dragged him some distance, One of the girls fainted, but recovered in a few seconds, and both asked Ward to stop, but, they say, he said he dare not, He took them home and then made his way to Byron by 8 circuitous route. Girl Tells Mother One girl told her mother of the case when Haskins was sentenced for the crime, and the parents got in touch with lawyers for the de- fense, The arrest of Ward follow- ed, and steps are now being taken to have Haskins released, It was stated that, exclusive of solicitors' fees, it will cost about $100 to carry an appeal against the conviction to the courts at To- ronto ,and the Haskins family are out of funds. There is a probabil- ity, however, that the Crown will make provision for the payment of Ont., made London, the necessary costs in the case bringing the question of his debts to the fore as the reason for his resignation having been called for by General Williams, Brien {is very emphatic in his denial that his debts were an issue. He in- vites the department to stick to the matter of L.C.A. enforcement and explain to the public why the Blair case was never prosecuted. Replying to the statements in the report of Deputy Commission- er Cuddy to Attorney-General Price, R. C. Brien, when interview- ed, said, "I emphatically charge that no mention was made .to me on Oct. 8 either by Commissioner Williams or Deputy Commissioner Cuddy of Have you a Problem? If you have a business or financial , Cone sult this Our are anxe ° Ou ranges bene- fic of their their keowkedge and ex ow bik opment of Canadian ag. riculture, Oshawa Branch T. W.

On March 8 my attention was called to the balance owing the gratuity fund. It was $146 at that time. I was asked to pay monthly instal. ments to reduce it. From March 8 to Oct. 8 I reduced my indebted- ness to theg ratuity fund to $134. Says Account is Paid "Mention is made in the Cuddy report that I owe William Rhodes, grocer, of Brockville, $33.92. This account is paid. 1 pald this four months ago. I have also made some payments on the Nelson A, Horton account, to which reference was made by the report. This account was $54.17. I have reduced this amount and am continuing to re- duce it as my limited finances will allow, The Cuddy report also cites an item of $25 owing to Mei- ler Brothers, tailors, of Hamilton. | This account was pald at the same time I paid Rhodes of Brockville, four months ago, "The debt I owe Brown still has no significanee in connection with my dischargint my duty. I still owe Brown $80, and that balance had nothing to do with my attitude toward him in executing my duty as an officer. I would like the De- puty Commissioner to explain to me how my prosecution of Brown might be one way of getting my debt paid for the furniture, as he claims in his report, The report says that as far as my activity in enforcing the L.C.A, is concerned it had nothing to do with my re- signation- being asked for, and that this wes impressed on me at the time, T absolutely deny this statement In the report. BRITSH PSYCHIC SENDS MESSAGES TO MARS PLANET Chiswick, England, Oct. 24.--Dr. Mansfield Robinson, who sent a wireless message to Mars, said at 40' clock this morning that he had received certain messages, but would have to wait until they were decided, Calls Lady Friend London, Oct, 24---Comaruru, the big-eared woman of Mars to whom Dr, Mansfield Robinson, psychic devotee, addressed a wire- less despatch through the big sta- tion at St, Alban's, had net an- swered the radio call up to 3.30 a.m, so far as could be learned here, The call was sent out at 2.15 a.m, and the engineers at St. Al- ban's were listening on a 30,000 metre wavelength for a reply. Since, however, communication between London and St. Alban's at this hour of the morning is about as easy as communication with Mars, it might be premature to say that the listeners have nothing to report, It was understood that Dr. Rob- inson also intended to listen for a reply at his home in Royden, Hert. fordshire, The Daily Express sent a reporter there last night, but he found the house dark, On the front door was pinned a upper bearing mystic word "Out." Nothing daunt- ed, the reporter knocked at the door until Mrs. Robinson came to A.L. HUDSON & Co.
