HOLDEN BOOOOOCO000C not the case in Whitby, as the rees ords of the police department will show, OSHAWA GENERAL HOSPITAL WINS (Continued from Page 8) by, or either of them should have built or undertaken and commenc- ed to build in the town of Whitby, a General Hospital for the sick, and have contributed or undertaken to contribute to the erection of the said hospital, then the testator di- rects his trustees to pay to the pro- per official of the said hospital, for its objects and purposes, three thousand dollars, without interest, less any sum which he shall have contributed towards the hospital in hig lifetime, A second clause states that the balance of the residuary estate should be distributed between Miss Mary Ray, Mrs, Jane Clement, Mrs, Eva Shaw, Miss Alma Gibson, of Whitby, and the Whitby General Hospital, if built within the stipu- lated period, and failing, the Whit- by Hospital so complying with the conditions hereinbefore set out, then the Oshawa General Hospital, the distribution to be made in the same respective propertiong as such persons and charities share in the legacies and benefits, No Support From Town When the case was heard it was contended that the town of Whit- by did support the hospital by pass- ing a by-law voting it the sum of $6.000, This money was never paid, however, and the bylaw laps- ed, Judge Thompson, therefore, ruled that the town did not sunnort the erection of a general hospital, and that the county did not do any- thing effective to fulfil the condi- tions mentioned in the will. The fact that a hospital board was formed, that a site was dongted and that a half day's work was done towards excavation were not regarded by His Honor as evidence that either the county or town had undertaken to build a hospital within the period stipulated by the will, Costs out of Bequest Judge Thompson concluded his judgment by stating: "I therefore find and declare that the plaintiff company has failed in its claim, and is not entitled to the said leg~ acy. but that it should go into the residue, and go to the defendant, the Oshawa General Hospital, ac- cording to the terms of the said will, "As to costs, believing, as I do, that the plaintiff company made its claim in good faith, though mis- takenly, the costs of all parties should be paid out of the money forming the bequest in question, in these proceedings." CANONIZATION OF JESUIT MARTYRS IS NEAR COMPLETION Toronto, Ont., March 11.--Of terest to Roman Catholics in Can- ada, and especially in this city, is a statement published in the Toronto Star. "News despatches from Rome to the effect that sever! new Canadian saints are to be created by the Pope are interpreted by Catholic clergy in this city to mean that the Jesuit martyrs who were beautified in 1927 will this year probably have their canonization completed. "It is possible also that the can- onization of several other Canadian saints will be commenced and their beautification made. Tt is said that among these may be the founder of the Order of the Precious Blood who was many years a resident of the Precious Blood Convent on St, Al- ban St., Toronto, PLAYING ALICE DAY and MART MOORE FUN AND FROLIC . --Al50-- THE COLLEGIANS FOX NEWS New Martin Theatre AND JEWS TO BLAME FOR GRUGIFXION (Continued from page 3) : nections with the Jewish race, and had gotten in so wrong with the Jewish people that the mpgron at ome had decreed that the Jews were not to be irritated, Pontius Pi- late from that time on lost his pres- tige among those peoples, The Feast of the Passover came along and thou- sands of Jews poured into Jerusalem to observe it, They obtained know- ledge of Jesus and through Judas, an- other main factor in the death of the Lord seized Him and led him away (o Pontius Pilate to face several charges which they had preferred against Him, Pilate's Problem Pilate was now faced with a prob- lem, the problem of releasing Jesus whom he knew to be innocent of the charges against Him, and endanger- ing his own life and dignified position under the Emperor, or putting Him to death and maintaining his stand with the Jews, slight though it was, The ultimate result is only too well known, the speaker pointed out, Christ was crucified on Pilate's war- rant, simply to maintain peace, Had Pilate stood for law and righteous- ness, and released Christ, the thousands of Jews in Jerusalem at the time would have rebelled against Pilate's ruling and that night "the gutters would be running with blood." Swayed by Jews Although Pontius Pilate was not a Jew, he was swayed by Jewish opin- ion and Jewish sentiment upon the most important matter of biblical imes, was Mr, Harston's interpretation of the Scripture dealing with circum- stances surrounding Christ's death. That this death was the most tragic the world has ever known and that it was plain murder were a few of the assertions made by the speaker who denounced the perpetrators of the crime and everyone who allowed it to take place without intervening. The Unhappy Scul Mr, Harston discoursed at length on the life of Judas, the "unhappy soul" of the new testament whose kiss gave the Lord to the mob that in return he might be the recipient | of 30 pieces of silver, There was however another interesting supposi- tion that the speaker brought out, and one which might be termed "prac- tical." Judas was appointed an ap- postle with every care that the cleven others were chosen. In fact he was accorded a greater honor, being made treasurer of the twelve, Why then, asked the speaker, should Judas be- tray the Lord unless he had some reason which might have been prey- ing on his mind? The reason might be this, Christ had been laboring on earth convert- ing peopls of his ideal of establishing a heavenly kingdom on earth, He had been successful in only one de- gree, that he had started a great Christianity. The material church at that time had not sprung up, and grieving that the Lord would never live to sce His wishes gratified, Judas took the one upper most way in his mj to relieve the Lord of His great' burden, that of dying at the hagds of the mob, a martyr. . Other Factors e minister went on to enumer- ate Other great factors in the death n- | ey it may be shown that each of the Lord, and among them men- tioned two classes of people existant at that time, the Pharisees and the Saducees. Although dealing with each was the opposite to the other, the former openly declaring themselves against Christ and His principles but above all his increasing power, and the latter going about their attack more or less secretly, The Saducees at first utterly ignored Jesus, de- clared the speaker but with Christ's aims becoming more and more rea- lized, they too joined in' the council against Christ and signed away his life, depending upon Pilate to com- plete the work and attend to the final judgment. "The people! One of the great fac- tors, an astonishing factor, and one which may be weaved into modern life with the hideous background of the murder of the Lord is always in front of wus," said Mr. Harston. "The people of the ancient world were directly responsible for. the death of Jesus Christ. Indifference might be stated as being one point in the story. The indefference of Christ's supposedly great supporters, those whom he had healed, whom he had prayed for. They were not pres- ent when the time came for them to select the prisoner to be released, Christ or Barabas. In conclusion the minister urged the congregatibn to refrain from "stone-throwing," and rementber that Christ was being crucified afresh in these days, called upon the people to look upon their own hands and see if they were not also stained with blood. YUKON RESPONDS TO EARTH CULTURE DURING THE SUMMER Montreal, Que, March 11.--Far from being a frozen waste, the Yu- kon is luxuriant in vegetation during its six months of summer, when the sun shines for twenty-four hours a day, and if you "tickle the earth with a hoe, it laughs with a harvest." This was illustrated in her lecture by Mrs. George Black, F.RGS, wife of the member of Parliament for the Yukon, in a lecture on the wild flowers of the northland, given be- fore members of the Montreal Branch of the Canadian Women's Press Club. Mrs. Black is known for the ar- tistic collections of wild flowers she has made for the Canadian Govern- ment, for the railways and the Smithsonian Institute. Examples of her work were on view comprising many of the varieties found in the Yukon, beautifully mounted in picture fashion. The lecture was illustrated by colored slides showing the gar- dens which flourish in the Yukon, and the wild flowers found in pro- fusion. Mr. Black remarked that she had gathered for the Federal Gov- ernment 4064 varietics of flowers that grow there. MINING INSTITUTE MEETING OPENED Metallurgy Experts Gather in Winnipeg for Annual Convention Winnipeg, March 11.--Famous mineralogist, mining and metal- lurgy experts, men who have gone into the unexplored areas of Can. ada's hinterland and who have brought about development of rich mineral finds which now com- mand the attention of the world, were in attendance here when the annual meeting of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy was formerly opened by Premier John Bracken, The important part Western Canada has taken in the develop- ment of its vast mineral areas, along with thq development of flelds in the eastern provinces was marked in routine reports pre- sented during the day, while many interesting papers, dealing with the new flelds now being worked, were heard with interest , In his welcoming address, Pre- mier Bracken predicted a growth of mineral development in Mani- toba that would outrank the early strides made in the Ontario areas, "This province now draws an in- come of $3,000,000 a year from her mineral resources and has touched only a tenth of them," the Premier said, 'Two-thirds of the province lies within the pre- Cambrian field and at least that portion may be safely considered as mineral bearing."

TORONTO STREET EXTENSION PLAN Continued from Page 1) outlined be carried out over the next 15 years by a new perman- ent commission. South From Richmond From the grand circle or square at University avenue and Rich- mond, it is understood, a new street, virtual! the continuation of University avenue, will be pro- jected almost due south, with but York to Front street, where it will end in another public square bounded on the north by Welling- ton street, * Another new street, it is expect- ed, will be recommended, running south-west to Clarence square. Wellington street runs from that juncture, 150 feet wide to Victoria square, where the demolition of a few small buildings will open up the new highway to join Bathurst street so as to provide access to Fleet street by way of the new Bathurst street bridge already ap- proved by council, York street, it is said to be pro- posed will be widened on the west side from Wellington to Richmond, and then cut over angularly from Richmond to Bay at a point near Louisa street, with Bay street to be widened from Richmond to Dundas, As a means to split the long block between Bay and York, it is expecied to he proposed that Elizabeth street, at present ending at Queen, be extended right through to Front, ending at the east side of the Royal York hotel, The report, it is understood, will point out that if the commission were required to deal only with one street extension, namely, Uni- versity avenue, it would recom- mend that University avenue be carried south to Richmond, thence diagonaly across York to Ade- laide, and from that point south to and facing the centre of the Union Station. The commission, however, 1s sald to have taken a wider view of its task and oppor- «unity ,and to have drafted a much more comprehensive plan, The commission has gone ahead, not on the consideration of a single street nor a group of streets, but for a comprehecrsive development of the entire downtown district bounded roughly by Spadina avenue on the west, College and Carl.on on the north, Parliament street on the east acd the water- front on the south, The commis- sion has covered every block in that area and is making recom- mendations having in view the re- quirements of Toronto for the next 40 or 50 years for traffic as well as building, Avenues to Serve as Hubs Stripped of its comprehensive details ,the main plan of the com- mission is understood to cali for a system of squares serving as hubs for new streets radiating in sou.h- westerly, southerly and northeast- erly directions. The main square would be a war memorial plaza at the junction with Richmond street of a direct southerly ex.ension of University avenue to Richmond. Another would be between Wellington and Front streets, west of York street. A third would be an enlargement of Clarence square at Wellington street and Spadina avenue, From the Richmond street-University avenue square, there would radi- ate the main traffic arteries pro- vided by the cutting through of new streets, An ar.ery to serve traffic going north and east would be provided by widenipg of Richmond street from the grand circle to about Elizabeth street. Hundred-Foot Avenue If University avenue is to be widened alone, the report will sug- gest that the width should be 100 feet, 60 feet for pavement border- ed by two 20-foot walks, This will care for anticipated heavy motor car traffic and for the heavy sidewalk traffic resulting from the erection of igll buildings along such a street, were it created. In considering the extension of the avenue by itself, the commis- sion is understood to have studied more than 30 different plans, in- cluding sll published during the past 20 years. They fell into three classes: 1. Extending University avenue to Front street without crossing York street. 2. Extending to York street and incorporating that street in the ex- tension, 3. Intersecting York street, and splitting the block between Bay | and York streets with the new thoroughfare. In favoring the third plan, the commission cites 8 number of reasons for its decision. These are believed to include the following considerations: * (2) The block from Bay to York street is 850 feet long, the ome from York to Simcoe only 635 feet long, so that the third exten- sion plan would facilitate traffic movements and create a new street nearer the heart of the city. (b) It would be desirable if University avenue could be ex- tended to Fleet street, but this could only be done by & suspension bridge over the tracks, a prohibi- tively costly undertaking. . {(c) The York street subway is the most westerly crossing to Fleet street for traffic in the down-town district. York street it- self will develop eventually as an artery for general traffic, includ- ing trucks. Therefore it seems bet- ter to let the mew street divert traffic away from the York street subway and over to the Bay and Yonge street subways. (d) The railway yards at Sim- «coe street create for a long period a definite limit on the west to the expansion of the dowa-towan com- HAS WIDE SCOPE}. mercial area, Direct southerly ex- tension of University avenue would therefore be on the extremo edge of the down-town district. The \diagonal extension would be more useful and would be built up soon- er with expensive types of build- 88. (e) It is desired to make the University avenue extension a noble gateway street. If placed on the edge of downtown, il would not be built up with structures giving this impression until some time had elapsed. Also a gateway sireet should lead away from the entrance portal to the city, the railway station, With these and other consider- ations in mind, it is understood that the commission will recom- mend that if downtown better- ments are to be confined to one street extension, University avenue should be extended at full width of 180 feet to Richmond street, thence 100 feet wide diagonally across York street to a point on Adelaide street between York and Bay streets, Thence it would go directly south to end opposite the Royal York, Land Costs $10,748,000 Figures accompanying the rec- ommendation are expected to show that this scheme could he carried out at a profit of more than $400,000. The estimated cost of expropriating land for the exten- sion would be about $10,748,000, it is understood, and the esti. mated selling price of excess lands about $11,160,000, Other practies able schemes would cost between $6,000,000 and §8,000,00 but entail an eventual loss to the city alier excess lands had been sold off. DYNAMITE EXPLODES; FOUR ARE KILLED Scribner, Neb, March 11.--Four men were dead yesterday and more than 30 persons were injured as a result of the explosion of a dozen cases of dynamite in a fire last night on the farm of County Commissioner Carl Hollander, The explosive was stored in the barn for use in blast- ing out ice around bridges during the spring thaw. The dead were: Gus Pattack, as- sistant postmaster; Guy E. Clark, barger; Fred Ribble, mechanic; Fred Felgner, grain store owner. Two other volunteer firemen were not expected to live. They were WV, F.
