CITY POLICE COURT FINED $100 AND COSTS One hundred dollars and costs was the fine imposed by Magistrate Wil- lis, of Whitby, on John Andrejo, 113 Bloor street east, in police court this morning when Andrejo appear- ed to answer a charge of having lig- uor illegally in lieu of not paying the fine, Andrejo must serve 30 days in jail Police contended that Andrejo had no right to have the liquor in his house, because he had not a permit. They seized a half a bottle during a raid some time ago on his prem- ises. Andrejo on the other hand stated positively that the liquor was the property of his son, William, and was corroborated by the son who stated that he purchased the li some time before the raid took od The crown pointed out, however, that the son had since moved out of his parents' house, and was at the time mentioned living in a house on Bloor street west. The evidences, said the magistrate, was rather conclusive for the crown and accordingly passed judgment.

Mr. Sovercign's mother was form- erly a High School teacher in Brant- ford, Ontario, She was a great friend of Alexander Graham Bell, and was the first woman to speak over the telephone after Bell invented it, MAYOR MITCHELL DENIES SHIPPING MAN T0 BRANTFORD (Continued from Page 1) he arrived in the city he at once' applied to the Canadian Legion, who paid his rent on a house for one month, $25, and then tried Canon C. R. DePencier, of St. George's Anglican Church, who ad- vanced him $8.50 to get his goods from the express company, Sud- bury t even prepaying the ex- prese on his few household effects. Then the man went to Rev. Ern- est Harston, with his tale of woe, saying that he had no stove, and that his four kiddies were starv- ing and his wife sick. Rev. Mr. Harston, being an ex-service man, provided a stove and fuel, and him- self purchased groceries for .the family for the first week, and se- cured the assistance of the city nursing department and a doctor for the man's wife--gratis. Came at Bad Time On application at the city em- ployment office, Hocking was in- formed that he had arrived at Osh- awa at the very worst time of the year in which an unskilled man could hope to find work, and that there were many unskilled men in the city even then, who had mo work. He was also told, said George Hamilton, manager of the local Government employment of- fice, that he could not expect work on the city relief gang, for only a small number of men could be taken care of, and these were men with families who had lived in the city for a considerable period. Helped by Many this warning, Hocking continued to live in the city for a month, returning to the employ- ment office only three times to ask for work. He did, however, accept two or three small temporary jobs provided by Rev. Mr. Harston, and in the meantime received relief from the city, the Canadian Leg- ion, the Salvation Army and other organizations in the city. Said He Had Job On Sunday last he was put in touch with an official of a plow- share manufacturing firm in Brant- the conversation, and Hocking turned from the phone to tell Mr. Harston that there was a job in Brantford for himr if he could only get there. Consequently, Mayor Mitchell was informed, and at the man's own request his fare and the express faves on his luggage and a few household effects were paid to Brantford. His mother, thought to be dying in Montreal from heart urouble, calls many times for John Troyaa, 2 boy who has missing from home for a month, PARLIAMENT IS OPENING TODAY (Continued from Page 1) the afternoon. The mempers and guests freely mingled in the apart- ments of the speakers of both Sen- ate and House of Commons. {| Tomorrow afternoon the House of Commons will again sit when C. E. Ferland, newly elected Liberal member for Jolliette, and Thomas Cayley, the government member for Oxford South, mover and seconder respectively of the address, will speak. The debate opens on Mon- day when it is expected both Premier Mackenzie King and Hon. R. B. Bennett, leader of the Opposi- tion, will speak. ! In the speech from the throne, after expressing profound thank- fulness for the recovery of King George, and satisfaction over the unprecedented prosperity of the Dominion, His Excellency said a nctable feature of the industrial development has been the continu- ed advance and prosperity of the mining industry in almost every part of the Dominion. The Speech The speech from the throne, with which the Governor-General open- ed Parliament this afternoon, con- i sisted largely of a review of activi- ties and accomplishments of the Government since the close of the last parliamentary session. The new legislation announced is not extensive. Amendments to the Dominion Elections Act, to the Companies Act, to the Fisheries Act, to the Narcotic Drug Act, and to the act respecting technical edu- cation, are pieces of new legisla- tion forecast. The speech also states that par- liament will be given an opportun- ity to approve the multilateral treaty for the renunciation of war, as well as the treaty with the Unit- ed States providing for the preser- vation of the scenic beauty of Nia- gara. Amendments to the Railway Act which will grant the railway board wider powers of investiga- tion of affairs in relation to subsi- diary concerns, and with respect to the issue of capital stock, will be introduced. CNR. Pensions One of the most important an- nouncements contained jin the speech is that legislation to pro- vide for a general pensions commis- sion for the benefit of Canadian National Railway employes will be brought down. The speech expresses thankful- ty, refers to the "'unprecedented prosperity" of the Dominion, draws particular attention to development of mining industry, and suggests further legislation to implement the recommendation of the fisher- ies commission. It states that plans lare in progress for the comstritc- ness for the recovery of His Majes-. NOTED SOLOIST T0 HELP IN GONCERT FOR MINERY' FUND Norman Ibbotson to Help Regimental Band in Sunday Night Event Plans to present the best pos- sible program and to secure the highest possible contribution by the British Miners fund at the con- cert being given in the Regent Theatre on Sunday evening by the band of the Ontario Regiment, are rapidly being perfected, A new feature for the program was an- nounced today this being the se- curing of Norman Ibbo.son, & noted tenor soloist of Toronto, to assist in the concert, Mr. Ibbotson, of course, is giving his services free for the cause of the destitute miners, He was formerly tenor soloist at St. Anne's Church, To- ronto, and is well-known as a radio artiste, he having sung fre- quently over the air as the Mystery Tenor of stations CKCL and CFRB, Arrangements have also been made whereby Non-Commisgioned officers of the regiment will be present in uniform to act as ushers, and tg look after the tak- ing of the collection at the door. In view of the worthy cause in aid of which the concert"'is heing held, very liberal contributions are expected, ¢ TYPPPY WEATHERMAN Snow, snow, beautiful snow, Falling white and deep; Giving us all a nasty cold, Because we got wet feet, * * x Weatherman is vindicated! After we had prophesied off and on, and more or less for two weeks that there would be a snowfall, the snow fin- ally condescended to fall, And it fell with a vengeance, It would seem that the elements conserved themselves for the whole two weeks, just to create a goodsized snowbanks while it was about the job. The snow this morning created an immense amount of activity, This act- ivity was classified by the Weather- man, walking down Oshawa's streets this morning, as follows: 1. Shovelling snow off sidewalks, onto streets, 2. "Snowplowing" snow off streets back onto sidewalks and in between Oshawa Railway tracks. 3. Sweeping snow from Oshawa Railway tracks onto streets again. 4. Brushing snow off awnings and parked cars onto sidewalks. 5. Shovelling snow off sidewalks. One of the branches of our scien- tific world that is particularly in- terested in evolution, can't decide now whether man sprung from fish or descended from apes. It seems that they are trying their best to either make a monkey out of man, or show that he is a poor fish. Public whipping of prisoners con- victed of carrying firearms, has been approved in India, They tie the man up to a post on the court house lawn, and then let the sheriff go right to it with a cat-o'-nine-tails. Spanking also proves effective oc- casionally at the Boys' Training School to the east of us. One boy whom the management had been en- deavoring to bring to time by pacific means for six months, was finally given a good, old-fashioned spank- ing. "We found we had been work- ing at the wrong end for six months," said the principal. Premier Ferguson would no doubt tiked to have given our Billie Sin- clair a six months' hoist after that little speech of the Liberal leader in the house yesterday. The battle begins to warm up. Coming back to the weather, north or northwest winds with more snow, or possibly rain, are indicated for to- day. VALUE SKYROCKETS Toronto, Feb. 7.-- After reposing for 25 years on the shelf of a col- lector's library in Toronto, a first edition of Walt Whitman's poems has shot higher in price in the last six months than International Nic- kel. For years the owner cherished the volume with no thought of sale. Then he let a private individual he believed interested din Whitman have it for $40, the price he had paid years before. The mext day it became the property of a New York bookseller for $90. It was placed on the shelves of the New York store with the price plainly marked--$450. It lay there six weeks before it was disposed of for $1,209 to a purchaser who had already contracted to sell it for $1,- 800. The 4ast sale recorded was at $2.000--and it was still in 2a dealer's hands. tion of the national research labor- atories. Immigration Reference is made to the immi- gration agreements which have been concluded. Announcement of the introduction of a further branch line program by the Canadian Na- tional Railways is also contained in the speech and it is intimated that authority will be asked for the acquisition of certain railways in both eastern and western Can- ada as feeders of the government owned systems. Canada's expan- gion in diplomatic fields and the to, CHARGE OF THEFT | DISMISSED AGAINST FORMER BROKER "MAJOR" 8S, STOTT RE. LEASED FOLLOWING HEARING Was Alleged to Have Stolen $225 By Fraud Some Time Ago - "Major" Sidney Statt, former real estate broker in this city wag this morning exonerated of having stolen the sum of $2256 from Ernie Dunstall, 269 Clarke street through fraudulent channels. D, A, J. Swanson appeared for Stott and presented his evidence in such conclusive style that Magistrate Willis of Whithy declared he could see no reason why Major Stott should be convicted, Stott was alleged to have con- verted the sum of $225, the prop- erty of Dunstall, to his own use after the complainant stated that he had instructed the defendant to pay the money to the firm of Grierson and Creighton. This lat- ter firm according to letters pro- duced in court had declined to aec- cept the money before negotiations had been entered into with sevy- eral other firms who had at the time liens on a house which Stoit was having built for Dunstall, Grierson and Creighton, it was stated, were acting for one firm who had liens on the house, and they could not very well accept payment from Dunstall through his agent S.ott until the other lien holders were notified. Since that time, Mr. Swanson pointed out no word had heen received from Grierson and Creighton to the ef- fect that the money would be re- ceived, On the other hand it was brought out in evidence that Dun- stall owed Stott money on notes which had to date not been paid, and which exceeded the money al- leged to have been stolen by Stott. No instruction was laid before the court either from the evidence produced or in writing that Dun- stall had instructed Stott to pay Grierson and Creighton, other than to pay off what he could of the liens. A feature of Mr. Swanson's argument was that since the in- formation against Stott had been sworn out, the latter had made a fur her attempt to settle negotia- tion with the lien holders. BOY SCOUTS GIVE FINE PROGRAM AT ANNUAL CONCERT Large Avdienee Witnetses | Talented Performers--Play- let is Presented A large audience witnessed the annual concert put on by the Fifth Oshawa Boy Scout Troop at Rotary Hall last might. The program which was contributed to by many talented and well-known Oshawa icians and read was a dis- tinct success and the scouts bene- fited greatly by the affair. Featuring the evening's enter- tainment was a sketch given by a number of the boys themselves. The story dealt with the good work being done by scouts all over the world, and carried a fine message, besides being distinctly entertain- ing, it was called "The Magic Hat." Those who acted in the playlet were Reg Richards, who played the part of a wizard, Billy Bridges, who took the role of a young man, Car- men Hughes, as the vamp, Eugen Kearney, the patrol , Lloyd Nyland, the first scout, Lesley Johnson, the second scout, and sev- eral other boys who composed the scout troop on the stage. Contributing Artists Included on the program were whose work was highly commendable, and whom the scouts approached to contribute a number to the program. They were George Walsh, tenor soloist, Miss L. Gar- row, who gave a vocal number, Henry Havelock, a solo, George Puckett, mandolin solos, Hawaiian in his humorous songs. Guitar solos were furnished by Jack Mountenay and Nicholas La- kas, piano solos by Carmen Hughes jokes by "Chipmunk" and "Beav- er" Earl Hann, and Frank Grun- man.

After Colonel Price had moved second reading of his bill, and had suggested that it be sent to coms mittee along with the Sinclair bill, the Liberal Leader promptly took the floor, and, after announcing the fact that his measure contain- ed every one of the Royal Commis- sion recommendations, dilated at length on the reason for each end all of them. Only one recommendation, stressing the need of competent people as Returning Officers, Mr. Sinclair said: "Any one who could make a worse mess than Scott made in South Ottawa can't be im- egined. The same thing could hap- pen anywhere else, if these Re- turning Officer jobs were given to incompetent individuals." that no returning officer should be in close proximity to a political club or organization, and that Sheriff or some other designated officer should perform the Return- ing Officer's duties, were also em- phasized by Mr. Sincleir. Colonel Price took strong exception to the latter suggestion, maintaining that court officers had enough to do at the present time. While he had same time he had equal the judgment of the Chief Clerk. At another juncture, Attorney- General had been disonest appointees un- der the Federal Election Act, and named "Baldy of Saskatchewan" in this connection, Mr. Sinclair shouted: "Go on. Make this ac- tion as political es you can, and start all over again." RUMMAGE SALE AT MARKET, Friday, 2.30 p.m. (31h). MADAME ROSE, PALMIST, AT 21 Maple St. Phone 2372F.
