Reeve Says Street Fair Was a Big Success and Argument Ended There Whitby Council Has Little Flare-up Over Rowdyism at a Dance in the Town Hall, Which Quickly Sub- sides -- Accounts Passed and Garbage Disposal is Settled (By Staff Reporter) 5% Whitby, Nov. 6--"The street fair, held last Hallowe'en night was one of the finest cyents ever staged in Whithy," commented Reeve Albert W. Jackson at last night's council meeting in urging the members of the council to drop an argument zoncerning alleged rowdyism which was supposed to have oceurred at a dance in the town hall on the night oi the fair. The reeve further pointed aut that everyone had enjoyed them- selves and those in charge had co- operated in a manner which showed a splendid community spirit, 1 there wis any rowdyism it was confined to one place and did not eccur until after the fair was really over, Reoughs Enter The discussion was broached by Doputy Reeve Underwood who claim- cd that "roughs" had entered the tpwn hall during the course of a dance and caused a disturbance. The caretaker, Fred Little, had at- tempted to restore order and had summoned the night constable. He could nat he found, however, and it became the earctaker's duty to cope with those who were causing the dis. turbance, Chief Not Called Chiet Gunson stated in reply that although he was supposed to be off duty at 10 o'clock that night he had remained: on the job until 3 o'clock the next morning. He did not know that Mr. Little had called for the night constable nor had he received any call himself. Councillor Threadgold had heard talk on the street and would wish to have matters straightened. He knew that the dance had been held in the hall and as a ntember of the band he had understood the council had gran- ted the hall for this purpose, "Twas Hallowe'en Reeve Jackson pointed out that a lot of fences were torn down on Hallowe'en and that other property had been damaged, He said that, in all possibility, the night constable was attempting to catch some of these mischiei makers at the time he was required by caretaker, Con- stable Thomas, he declared, had a long record of faithful service and it was not fair to censor him un- ne rilv and without just cause. Mayor Bateman thought that the vil ul misunderstood the coun- cil when it held a dance in the town hall. 'Tlie hall was to be granted to the legion and band only if the weather was unsuitable for a street dance, : The council agreed with the opin- ion of Reeve Jackson that the street fait was a great success and allowed the matter to rest there. Pass Accounts The finance committee presented its report last night and accounts totalling $1,180.78 were passed, They were charged as follows: finance streets, $455.64; town pro- 221.51; relief, $2299; side- 302.56; accounts paid and not passed, £308.22, The report of the police depart- ment for the preceding month show- ed that 53 cases had been prosecuted and that a total of $440 had been re- ceived in fines, The report was adopted Garbage Disposal The matter of garbage dumping in the marsh at the local harbor again came to the attention of the civic ih ME gd (AIS LY OSE DARKENED ROOMS -- Erie [yous home the most pleas- ing, tasty and beautifying effects in wall coverings and woodwork finishes you are offered a great advantage through the splendid and extenzive variety we have to submit to you and our schooled judgment and ex- perience in planning.

In his communi- cation Anderson complained that he was being unfairly discriminated against as others were dumping ar- ticles in the place where he had been forbidden. Reeve Jackson considered that it would be satisfactory if persons were allowed to dump refuse of any sort on the old north road leading through the marsh providing it was properly covered. According to the department of public health the town would have to provide a dumping ground and this spot has always been regarded as such, It would be a hardship to deprive Mr. Anderson of the privilege as he was carning his living in this manner. i Permission Granted Coun, Ormiston agreed with the reeve and as one of Mr, Anderson's customers he opined that he was pro- viding a real service to the commun- ity. Mayor Bateman also thought that he should not be deprived of his means to make an honest living. Chief Gunson, as sanitary mspector, informed the council that he had told Anderson he might use the north road. It was then decided to grant Anderson the privilege, the council suggested that he attempt to cover with ashes whatever vegetable matter he dumped at the side of the road. Full Attendance Last night's council meeting was short and adjournment was made at 10.30 o'clock. All members were present including Mayor Bateman, Reeve Jackson, ' Deputy Reeve Un- derwood, Councillors Jas. Ormiston, W. Pringle, F, Threadgold, Ed. Bow- man, Dave Mowat and Chas. Broughton.

CHICKEN 1 SET TOR0OST ON THE BODIES OF BOYS Story of Brutal Murder is Told at Extradition Trial Vancouver, B.C, Nov. 6.--At an extradition hearing today of George Stewart Northcott, which was ad- journed to next Wednesday, Hon. R. L. Maitland, K.C,, counsel for the State of California and Riverside County, read a deposition of James R. Quinn, Riverside sheriff's officer, concerning the Wineville Chicken Ranch where Northcott is alleged to have committed the murders with which he is charged. The deposition said the sheriff's of- ficers had found signs of blood on the door jam of a building on the North- cott Ranch. He described the incin- erator, view of which, he said, was blocked except in one direction, that in' which there were' no neighbors. The disposition said he had found three pieces of human skulls and also some corduroy cloth. Mr. Maitland then turned to the evidence of Sanford Clark, North- cott's 15-year-old nephew, whose al- legations led to the charges against the accused. Locked in Coop Sanford had stated that he thought Nelson and Louise Winslow, with whose alleged murders Northcott is charged, were about seven and ten vears old. They had been brought to the ranch, the Clark boy said, at 10 to 10.30 o'clock one night and were locked in a chicken coop. They were kept there about a week and a half and then were killed, according to evidence, which continued: One bay was removed from the chicken house to the residence, and the one remaining there was killed by Northcott. He was struck on the head several times with an axe. Then the bedy was deposited in a grave which Clark and Northcott had dug. The second boy was then brought in and both Northcott and Clark kil- led Lim, using an axe and a hatchet covered it with straw and set up a covered it with stray and sct up a chicken roost over it. Stewa.t Northcott had told the wit- ness later that he ook the bodies away. "Sewart made me do it; he threat- ened to kill me if I did not do it. He was heating me up all the time," Clark was quoted as saying PLENTY OF GAME IN ALGOMA Sault Ste. Marie, Ont, Nov. 6.-- Mrs. J. H.

EXPORT OF POWER NOW CURTAILED JAYS FERGUSON Ontario Premier Denies Se- cret Agreement Regarding Sale of Hydro Power Toronto, Nov. 6.---Hon. Howard Ferguson last night described as "a tissue of misstatements and un- truth, carefully interwoven in a thin fabric of facts." charges made by Mr. Harry Sifton in a speech to Ward Six Liberal:, published in advance, upon the subject of hydro power export at Niagara, the situa- tion at Sault Ste. Marie and in Bruee County, and the Gatineau contract, Amount Reduced Mr. Sifton imputed a "secret agreement" ta export at Niagara a large amount of power contrary to Mr. Ferguson's expressed policy. The Prime Minister replies that, aside from old contracts by which the Commission is bound. it is dis- posing of certain surplus, "off- peak" power, for intermittent per- fods. The amount is being reduc- ed, as Ontario industries become more diversified, but meantime the resulting revenue has substantially benefited Ontario consumers. Repudiated Mr. Sifton represents the people of Ontario as 'very restive" undey "suspense" ahout the Montreal Riv- er pewer situation. That matter, Premier Ferguson points out, is a nurely legal que tion, the Algoma Central Railway and its successors in ownership of old land grants ad- hering to the position that awner- shin of the waterpower is included. The Prime Minister states em- nhatically. that Hon. Edmund Bris- tol's advoeacy in Parliament of a certain power policy was renndiat- ed bv him at the time, and that Mr, Sifton probably read it. $4,000,000 POWER DEVELOPMENT IS PLANNED AT COAST Vancouver, Nov. 6.--Hydro-el- ectric development by the West Kootenay Power Company, a sub- jidiary of Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company, on the Cana- dian side of the Pend Oreille River, south of Trail, is to be much larger ithan was originally assumed, For- (mal application has just been made by the company to the Provincial |Minister of Lands for license to allow it to divert 6,000 cubic feet a second, Detailed plans of the company for its new Pend Oreille plant as made public yesterday show that it will be one of the largest electrical undertakings in Western Canada. easily the great- est. started by the Interior Power Company, and virtually the equal Nowadays you may have the moat up-to-dal daintion of eft and the most artistic designs in ilverware. at surprisingly mod. erate boy isitely pierced --fuahionatle" Wrist' Wardle from 41300 sad vp.
