THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1929 ~ PAGE THREE - Agreement Between City and County Renewed For Predicts Future of Trade With World Under the Present Regime in China SR -- h Rev. C. H. Judd, Returned Missionary, Describes the Conditions Under Nation. . alist Rule -- Will Return to China at End of Month That China will eventually set- 'tle down under the Nationalist regime, will prosper in trade with the world and will forget. at least for a few years the thought of war, is the prediction of Rev. C.H. Judd, missionary of the China In- Jand Mission who has returned after being in that country for the last 28 years. Mr, Judd's home is in Toronto and he will re.urn again to the scenes of his labors in China at the end of the month. Rev. Mr, Judd gave a most in- teresting address, {illustrated by colored lantern slides, at Calvary Baptist Church, last night. The country over there, as a whole is quiet, Mr, Judd told The Times in an interview yesterday. The last vestiges of the recent uprising in the form of a elvil war have worn themselves out and the peace-inclined citizens are turning now to occupations of a more "wholesome'" nature, "There is but one drawback of major importance," said Mr, Judd. "That is the banditry which is "rife among the disbanditcg soluiers, who having fought in the civil war find themselves wich nothing to do at the present time, So they take to banditry, But news dis- patches tell us, as well as mission- aries themselves, that the law is dealing severely with these ban- dits, They are tortured and put to death by many cruel means, in the hope that the depicable prac- tice of banditry will be stamped out, "This practice is one which saps the s.rength of the country", con- tinued Mr, Judd. It is peculiar that Mr, Judd admits he likes Chinese better than lnglish to taik and preach in, but in all his 28 years in China, he has maintained a thorough mastery of the English language. "So the government, aiming for this point, is deter- mined to quell the disorders wrought by the continued practice of banditry throughout the coun- iry, Heads, limbs and vestiges of clothing are found s.uck up on pikes, mainly through the larger thoroughfares, This manner of dealing with criminals is thought to be the best way to impress upon the bandits the seriousness of the situa.on in regard to them, and that banditry would not be tolerated." Mr, Judd went on to say that the Nationalist government to his mind, had a ra.her splendid way in setting up a legislature, A council of ten has been appointed which rules the country by strict laws. Six of these men, who are scholars in every sense of the word, are very distinctly connecied with the Christian church, a fact which will go a long way, Mr. Judd thinks, towards placing the government on a real operating basis. When Mr. Judd started work in China under the China Inland Mission 29 years ago the Boxer uprisings were in progress in that country, and he had the fortunate or unfortunate experience to live for a time in the central part of the action, At one time, his home and even all his belongings were destroyed by fire by the opposing armies in the rebellion, Mr, Judd was for many years carrying on his duties in the cen- tral section of the country. He -- START TODAY TO LAY FOUNDATION TECHNICAL SCHOOL Excavation is Nearing Com- pletion as Work is Pushed Forward FOUR LOCAL FIRMS GET SUB-CONTRACTS Trades and Supplies Han- dled By Toronto Companies , Laying of the concrete founda- tions for the new technical school started this morning, and work is proceeding with fair rapidity on the erection of this building. Several sub-contracts have been let on the job, many of them to Oshawa firms, Miller and Libby of this city have been awarded the contracts for sheet metal work, plumbing, heating, "and ventilating. Phe roofing will be done by the Oshawa Roofing Com- pany and the glazing by the W. E. Phillips Campany Limited of Oshawa, terrazzo and tile work will be done by the Italian Mosaic and Tile Com- pany of Toronto, Trust Concrete Steel €ompany of Torontc will supply the steel sash and reinforcing steel, the Milton Brick company is supply- ing the brick, National Fireproofing Company of Canada the building tile, and J. C, Fowlds of Oshawa the cem- ent, Tenders are now being re- ceived on ornamental iron and steel stairs, clectrical and plastering con- tracts. Bathe & McLellan of this city, the general contractors, are laying the foundation, and have excavation work far enough advanced that this can be proceeded with, Reinforcing steel for the concrete work is al- ready on the job. Digging has been slow on account of the frost, which is found at depths varying from one and a half to three and a half feet, said Mr. McLellan. The general contractors will themselves handle carpentry @nd masonry work. It is expected that the demolition of the old part of the Collegiate building, fating Simcoe street, will be commenced in about two weeks' time, said Mr. McLellan this morn- ing. By that time work on the eas- tern wing will have advanced suffi- ciently so that both east and west wings will proceed to completion simultaneously. Bathe & McLellan will themselves handle the demolition work, in an endeavor to save as much as possible. of the material in the old building for the new work, had been working most of the time with the Aboriginal Tribes, a sect of the people in the southern part who were even without a standard language among them- selves. These people however have acquired a sort of education, said Mr, Judd, and are not idolators. They worship spirits, and are call- ed animists, which makes it easier for us to bring the Christian reli- gion to them in fits accepted and divinely appointed form. The situation in China, Mr. Judd finished by saying is very hopeful, with the capitol trans- ferred from Peking to Nanking, and the new government well- established, there is little doubt but that peace and harmony will reign for some time to come, HEADS KINSMAN CLUB Fi DR. L, E. HUBBELL Who was last night re-elected presi- dent of the Kinsmen's Club of Osh- awa for his second term. DR. L. E. HUBBELL I$ AGAIN PRESIDENT OF KINSMAN'S CLUB ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CLUB LAST NIGHT Report Indicates That the Kiddies' Karnival is Assured Dr. L. E. Hubbell, of this city, was last night re-elected president of the Kinsman's Club at its an- nual meeting. Frank V. Evans, is vice-president of the club, being raised from the post of secretary. The other officers elected last night were: treasurer, Thomas C. Young; secretary, Russell Storks; registrar, Norman Mallett; direc- tors, Angus Barton, Clifford Paim- er and T. L. Wilson. That a surplus of about $400 was made at the Midnight Show, to continue the welfare work of the club, was the report given by the chairman of the show committee, T, C. Young. In an address to the club, following his re-election as president, Dr, Hubbell declared that this amount would definitely assure the holding of the Kiddies' Karnival at Lakeview Park next summer, for the benefit of under- privileged children. Dr. Hubbell also outlined to the club some of the welfare work that had been done during the last year, which showed a remarkable activity when it was considered that the club has been organized hardly one year. This year should be one of great accomplishment, he declared, with enthusiasm. y During the business meeting, the auditor's report was adopted and other business transacted. Three new members, Dr. Grant Berry, David Fowler, of the Oshawa Lum- ber Company, and R. C. Ashen- hurst, of the Maple Leaf Business College, were admitted to member- ship. NON-SUPPORT CASE For non-support of his wife and family, which he unreservedly ad- mitted, Harold Welsh, formerly of Oshawa, was sentenced to six months in Ontario Reformatory and an additional six months was give as an indeterminate term. Magistrate Willis deplored the fact that Welsh refused to support his wife and children. Mrs. Welsh is living at the present time in Bow- manville with her parents. -- EE ~~ Adults 50c¢ SOLD OUT FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY The Collegiate Staff Players Will Give An Additional Performance of the Three Plays on SATURDAY at 8.15 p.m. To Accommodate the People Turned Away Collegiate Pupils 25¢ Tickets on Sale at the Door ©.

SMOKE NUISANCE CAUSE OF ACTION PROPRIETOR OF APART- MENT HOUSE FINED THIS MORNING What is hoped to be a definite and satisfactory conclusiop to the complaints nrade by north-end resi- dents of the city with regard to a smoke nuisance, wag the statement by Henry Davidson, of Toronto, proprietor of two large apartment houses on Simcoe street that steps had been taken to have the nuis- ance eliminated. A conviction was registered against Davidson when he appeared in police court this morning, and he was fined $5 and costs despite the fact that he er- tered a plea of not guilty through his counsel, J. P. Mangan, of Osh- awa. The defense admitted that the city by-law dealing with a smoke nuisance had been broken. When asked how the by-law read, Magis- Died ALLIN--In Bowmanville on Thursday, Feb. 14, 1929, Ellen Sophia Allin, widow of the late Thomas Allin, Newcastle, aged 66 years, Funeral from the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. Sidney Ven. ton, Division St., Bowmanville, Saturday, Feb" 16, at 3.30 p.m. (29a) In Memoriam HENRY--In memory of Glenn A.

"That a dense smoke for a per- fod of more than six minutes was allowed to come into the atmos- phere." Residents Complain The case for the residents of the section of the city. who were dis- turbed by the conditions above mentioned, was conducted by A. F, Annis. Mr. Annis, being a resi- dent of the district and one of the complainants, was subjected to an examination. He related the cause for complaint, declaring that a dense smoke caused soot to collect in the yards and on the window sills and other painted wooden work of the houses in the neighbor- hood thereby causing a condition which was entirely disagreeable. He remarked that the caretaker of the apartments had been notified ance had not abated to any con- siderable extent. Mr. Mangan pointed out that the main cause for the alleged nuis- ance was the fact that Mr, David- son does not personally conduct the business of the apartments, and that a firm in Toronto looks after this for him. A representative of this company who believed that the fuel situation might be made a lighter burden financially ordered coal of different mature, and of softer quality. The result was in- stantaneous, and from that time, the evidence showed the "smoke nuisance" began. Previous to this new purchase of coal, a harder fuel had been used which had not caused a nuisance. To Use Different Coal A coal of harder quality and the kind used originally had been or- dered by Mr. Davidson, defense counsel pointed out, about eight days ago, but this had not arrived until yesterday. Since there is but remaining, the harder coal will be burnt exclusively from now on. Photographs were introduced as evidence for the comrpainants. His Worship, while not imposing the maximum penalty, believed the conviction warranted, and stated that the fine would be minimized, because of the fact that much had been done towards remedying the condition, The apartments, the Simeoe Manor and the Buckinghain Apart- ments, are situated right mext to each other and the smoke from the chimney on the corner of Simcoe street and Buckingham avenue. It was alleged that the smoke from these apartments made it disagree- able for a block every direction of this condition, but that the nuis- } KINSMAN T EXECUTIVE TTR FRANK V. EVANS Vice-President of the Kinsmen's Club who was last night raised from the secretaryship, WILL CELEBRATE THE ANNIVERSARY OF VIMY VICTORY LOCAL BRANCH OF LF. GION PLANS TO HOLD BANQUET Reunion of Local Ex-Ser- vice Men Planned for Next Wednesday Nnght | Téntative plans for the celebration of the 12th anniversary of the Cana- dian victory in the battle of Vimy Ridge, on April 9, were discussed at the regular meeting of the Oshawa Branch, No. 43, ot the Canadian Le- gion last night, The members of the branch expressed themsclves as being in favor of the holding of a banquet on this occasion, to be at- tended, not only by the ex-service men, but by the leading citizens of the community, Efforts are already under way to secure a leading speak- er for this occasion, and it 1s hoped to make it a notable event in local Legion history, Further consideration was also given to the plans forthe smoker and concert which is being given to all ex-service men in the city on Wednesday cvening, Feb, 20, in the Rotary Hall. The Oshawa Citizens band has volunteered its services for that occasion, and will play a pro- gram including many of the stirring marches which were familiar to the Canadian soldiers in the war days. An excellent musical program is also being provided and Col, A. C. Ack- erman, provincial president and Alex Shields, provincial secretary, of the Canadian Legion, are to be present as guests and will take a leading part in the program, If was intim- atc ! that this event is entirely free and open to all ex-service men, and that tickets of admission are not necessary, All ex-service men in the city arc,wclcomed to enjoy an even- ing of good-fellowship and comrade- ship together. A discussion of sick comrades re- sulted in a request that any person knowing of a Legion.comrade being sick at once notify the branch presi- dent, J. T. Dalby, Burke street, so that a visitor can be sent. Under the new arrangement for meetings the next regular meeting will be on Thirrsday February 28, in the room over the market hall, UNPRECEDENTED COLD CONTINUES (Continued from Page 1) they attempted to cross the ice heavily laden caravans. still suffering Londcn, Feb. 15.--Nearly all Britain continued to suffer from. extreme cold after a night during which the frost was the most in- tense of the prolonged cold spell in 'many sections. London itself was not the least of sufferers for the thermometer took a new downward plunge reaching two below zero Fahrenheit. Four below was reg- istered at Ross-on-Wye which again was the coldest spot in the coun- try. A heavy snowfall was reported over a wide area while large plocks of ice have been floating down the Thames as far south as Richmond on London's edge. Skating was in full swing in the metropolitan area except on the large lakes in the royal parks, where the authorities insist on a large margin of safety. London,s weather difficulties were aggravated by a gray fog which penetrated every house. Weather experts, however, welcom- ed this as a sign that a change was coming and the official forecasts bore out their hopefulness with the prediction that 'the temperature was likely to rise slowly. in GIVEN THRe= MONTHS Charlotte Blake, with no appar- ent place of abode and no means of subsistance, was sentenced to three months definite and three months indefinite in Mercer Re- formatory when she appeared in police court before Magistrate Wil- lis of Whitby. She was charged with vagrancy and would say noth- ing about herself. Curious features of a New Bruns- wick winter is the fact that mercury went below zero mark but five times during January, and on two days it County COLLEGIATE STAFF | PRESENTS THREE CANADIAN PLAYS Fine Performances Given Before a Large Audience WILL BE REPEATED SATURDAY EVENING House Sold Out Last Night and Tonight, Necessitating Special Showing A performance of distinct merit was enjoyed by the capacity audi- ence which attended the presenta- tion of "Autumn Blooming," "The Bishop's Candlesticks," and 'Bro- thers-In-Arms," by the Oshawa Col- legiate staff players in the Collegi- ate auditorium last evening, the re- sponse being so great that is has been found necessary to arrange an additional performance for Satur- day night, All three plays were by Canadian authors, and illustrated thé high degree of perfection which the Canadian drama is reaching. The two plays, "The Bishop's Candle- sticks," and "Brothers-In-Arms," were given a particularly fine ren- dering, and held the attention of the audience without difficulty, the various members of the cast show- ing a splendid appreciation. of the finer points of dramatic art, "The Bishop's Candlesticks," is an adaption from the well known scene from Victor Hugo's "Jean Val Jean," where Jean, an escaped convict, enters the Bishop's home and demands food at the point of a knife. The Bishop, one of the kind- est of men, gives himr his supper, and a bed on which to sleep, but the convict shows his gratitude by stcaling the silver candlesticks which had been given to the Bishop by his mother, and which were greatly prized by him, Jean is caught, however, but to save him from a return to the hell-on-earth of the French prisons, the Bishop tells the gendarmes that he had given Jean the candlesticks. Touch- ed by the extreme kindness of the Bishop, the convict leaves for Paris with much less ferocious concep- tion of his fellow-men. Ernest o. M-Girr, who played the convict, William. A. Glass, the Bishop, and Gertrude E. Moore, who played the Bishop's sister, gave fine interpre- tations of these parts. C. S. Patter- son played the sergeant of the gen- darmes, Mrs. C. S. Patterson the maid, and John Shewchuck and Jack MacAdam the gendarmes, A Lot of Money The sum of $25,000 is a lot of money to have staked on one's abil- ity to catch a train when one is 20 miles from a railroad, and J. Al- trius Brown, in "Brothers-In- Arms," could hardly be blamed for the way he strutted and stewed up and down the stage waiting for his taxi man. His wife, Dorothea, played by Mirn E. Savage, was 80 enthusiastic about the great open spaces that she did not worry about getting back to the city at all, and therefore drew down upon her head the wrath of her spouse. But Syd, the backwoodsman, played by A. E. O'Neill, was the merriment of the meeting. His drawl and slow-moving ways kept the audience in laughter almost to the point of tears, and when at the finale it is discovered that all of the troubles of J. Altrios Browne could have been alleviated by ask- ing Syd for aid, the audience does- p't worry much whether he loses his $25,000. Freeman D. R, Waugh credibly takes the part of Browne, while Maurice F. Kirkland plays Charlie, another backwoodsman. "Autumn Blooming" by Fred Jacob, is the story of three chil- dren who are doing their best to induce their mother to sell the homestead, so that they will have an opportunity to get their hands on the money. But mother sudden- ly decides to see the world, and use her money herself, to the chagrin of the clever schemers. Mrs. Spill- er, the mother, is played by Mary L. Dryden, Miss Purdy, a neighbor, by Flora McRoberts, Janet, the maid, by Edith A. Tuttle, and the children, Geraldine, Skelton and Robert, by Eleanor Fleming, Geo. M. Henry an Norman McLeod, re- spectively. Collectively, the cast was well balanced, and individually all the parts were given good ren- dition ,although occasionally the lines could not be clearly under- stood at the rear of the hall. This minor point, of course, will be given special attention at the per- formances tonight and tomorrow. Plays Tomorrow Announcement was made by Principal A. E. O'Neill that the plays would be repeated not only tonight but tomorrow night. All seats in the house were sold out some time before the performance started last night, and nearly all of the seats for tonight were also taken yesterday. The plays are under the capable directorship of Ernest J. MecGirr, while Miss Bertha Northeott, Miss Marian Gummow and C. S. Patter- son<acted as pianists. Thomas Rogers, who died recent- ly in Lancaster, England, held a job in a furniture factory 49 years, from the apartments. just touched zero. and his grandson 29 years. Five Years Council Votes To Renew Agreement With City of Oshawa Act Upon Report of Special Committee Yesterday to Renew Agreement on the Same Basis as Former Document (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Feb, 15.--Acting upon the report of the special commit- tee re the separation agreement with the city of Oshawa, the On- tario County Council voted yester- day to renew the agreement for a further five year period, commenc- ing March 8, on substantially the same basis as the award of arbi- trators made on December 16, 1924, The committee's report was the re- sult of negotlation's which had been carried on over a period of two days with Mayor T. B. Mitch- ell and the finance committee of the Oshawa city council. Reeve G. M, Forsyth, of Pitkering township, presented the report and the coun- cil went into committee of the whole, with James Reid, of Mara, in the chair, Inspector's Salary One clause of the report, with reference to the payment of the salary of the public school inspect~ or for South Ontario, specified that the county bear half the cost until July 31st, 1930. It was pointed out that under this arrangement, Mr, (Continued on Page 2), CHICAGO GANG KILLS SEVEN MEN (Continued from Page 1) hand in the investigation. Depart ment agents were to attend the in- quest this morning to determine if there were any basis for federal action. Victims Unarmed Chicago, II, Feb, 15--Chicago gangsters posing as policemen, in- vaded the north side stronghold of the George "Bugs" Moran gang, lined up seven helpless, unarmed victims with their faces to a brick wall, and mowed them down with automatic pistols and machine guns. The wholesale execution, an inno- vation in Chicago gang history, which brought the total gang vic- tims to more than 135 in the past few years, was carried out with all the precision of an army firing squad, Five men drove up to Moran's head- quarters in a garage at 2122 North Clark street after putting through a telephone call inquiring whether certain members of the gang were there, They rushed into the garage with drawn pistols and machine guns, informing the seven men they were police officers. Some of them flash- ed stars and others wore parts of police: uniforms. Without ado they herded the victims to a courtyard in the rear. Overhead gleamed a powerful elec. tric light to make the work of the firing squad casier. Whether the victims realized they had been trap- ped by a clever ruse will never be known, There was a word from the leader, the clatter of machine guns and pistols and the massacre was completed. Fs A few minutes after, the firing squad, still carrying the pistols and machine guns, sauntered out, climbed into an automobile, stowed the wea- pons in the rear and drove away. Aparently few persons heard the firing. INQUEST ADJOURNED The inquest into the wath of Mrs, J. Thompson, of Raglan, who died in Oshawa General Hospital Monday, was postponed last might definitely, owing to the fact that scientific an- alysis reports have as yet not been received from Toronto. BAND DELIGHTS A large crowd attended the Wine ter Gardens last night to hear Alfon- so Trent and his 12 Black Aces. This band proved to be all that it was supposed and provided exceptionally fine music. Several novel features were worked into the program whici were really entertaining.
