"Premier Ferguson, speaking yesterday at the Liberal-Conserva- tive Business Men's Club luncheon at the King Edward Hotel, once more demonstrated that 'he can kéep mum on this or any subject when he so desires. But speculu- tion continues unchecked at Queen's Park. Election possibili- ties and whether it will be this veur or next are certain to bob up as a topic of conversalon every time a member of the legislature visits the buflding, Yesterday a member turned up who was willing to bet his hat that the election would be held during the last week of June next year. He would give no reason for his choice, but since he predicted the 1926 election within two days of the date which later was announc- ed his es: "it was a guess-- might be termed an authoritative guess, at any rate." .

A pair of leather gloves were displayed us those which Moynes wore on the day of the accident. "Is it your duty to see that you: men wear rubber gloves on duty?" asked Coroner Rundle. "Yes. I equip all my men with them to wear them." "If a man went up the pole with- he be at his own risk?" "Yes, he would." Witness tesu- fied that he had lost another line- man some time ago under similiar circumstances. Ike Bulmer, his men were busy on the wires | near the sub-station of the G.M.C. Mr, Bulmer was not present at the cident occurred. "There is not a great deal of high tension work to do", declared the witness, "but the General Mo- tors supplies their men with rubber gloves." "Was he a capable Jan?" able man. He was one of the two men we kept for high tension work," Chief Electrician at G.M.C. Percy Davis was the next witness. Mr. Davis corroborated former supplied'to the linemen. "Just what work did the men have to do on Sunday morning?" "They had to inspect the line plant from the Paint shop. The men started to work on the pole west of that on which the unfor- tunate accident occurred." Wit- ness left the men at 11.15 o'clock and came back at 11.40 o'clock, Shorty after the accident happen- ed.

There was, how- ever, work going on in another plant, and it was necessary to have the east line alive," answered the witness. William J. Legott, assistant foreman to Mr. Davis, was nex: called. He was not present when the incident happened but testi- fied as to switches being open. The men at the time were carrying on without supervision, both Mr. Leg- ott and Mr. Davis having left at the same time. A co-worker and lineman in the employ of G.M.C., Roy Owens, was on duty with Moynes on Sunday morning. Witness said he was working without gloves of any de- scription, saying there was no ne- cessity to wear gloves when work- ing on dead wires. Witness stated he was on the pole after 11 o'clock with Moynes and was about to solder the joints on the dead wire. He said he told Moynes there was not room for both of them on the" pole, but Moynes paid no heed to him and came up to the top of the pole. Moynes was on the east side of the pole on the side where the live wires were. ' He had his hand on one of these live wires and his face was pressed close to a ground wire on the pole. "I heard a moan, turned around and saw him limp on the pole," said witness, Witness then describ- ed his effort to get Moynes to the ground by means of his safety belt and a safety rope. Ronald Luke, an electrician's as- gistant at G.M.C. was told to tan solder frome the plant to the two linemen. "How long did you stay there?" "About 15 minutes." Witness corroborated Owen's ev- idence that he had told Moynes that it would he well only to work on one side of the pcle, since tm other side of the pole was con- nected to wires which they weren't sure were dead.

Sentenced to Term of Ten Years in the Peni tentiary Toronto, - April 24.--After a two- fall | and pull a switch, cutting off the MAN FOUND GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER days' trial in the assizes on the charge of murder, Emilon Federoff was laughter in the fatal stabbing af Wil- liam Sherbo, and was sentenced by Chief Justice Meredith to ten years in the penitentiary. The jury's ver- dict was returned at 6.20, after a re- tirement of an hour and twenty min- utes. The crime of which Federoff is con: victed occurred on the night of Sun- day, Feb. 17, when 2a party home of William Sherbo, in Mimice, the house.

The story of "Smilin' Guns" is a screen adaptation from a popular magazine story by Shannon Fife, prepared for the silver sheet. by George Morgan, widely known screen writer. Heading a well chosen support- ing cast is Blanche Mehaffey, beau- tiful and talented young actress portraying the role of a society girl with whom the dashing Hoot is enamored, Miss Mehaffey's beuus ty and histrionic ability go far to- ward making "Smilin' Guns" a splendid picture. The "heavy" role is entrusted to Leo White, a suave and sophisti- cated villain. White, as well as being one of cinemaland's most heartless blackguards,, is also a comedian of parts and many of the sereamingly funny scenes in '"'Smil- in' Guns" come as the result of his marvelous comedy sense. Included in the featured cast are such excellent players as Virginia Pearson, Robert Graves, Walter Brennan, Jack Wise, James Brad- bury, Jr., and Dad Gibson. The picture was directed by Henry Mec- Rae.

In bringing the colorful drama up to the present day, the noted scenarist laid the plpt in a Balkan state and provided ' a new back- ground for the gripping narrative penned by Scribe and Legouve many years ago. The new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production. in which Joan Craw- ford and Nils Asthér are featured, opens Thursday at the Regent The- atre, and brings to the screen a brilliant array of military scenes and vivid picturizations of intrigue in a royal court. Court balls, car- nivals, back-stage of a royal opera house, coronation ceremonies, revo- lutions and the flomadic life of a wandering gypsy tribe are only some of the many picturesque and colorful scenes which form the background for the fascinatng plot. Aileen Pringle returns to a regal role, that of a haughty and design- ing Duchess, in the production whieh Fred Niblo directed, and Warner Oland again is seen as an tmposing ruler. Carmel Myers and wany others of note are included in the elaborate supporting cast. The plot is motivated by the ro- mance of a gypsy dancing girl and the Crown Prince of the little king- 'om. Revolutions and daring flir- 'ations provide complications that threaten the security of the throne and place obstacles in the path of the lovers. Although the two love each oth- er they cannot wed. When the World War and an internal revolu- tion in the little kingdom have swept away royalty and all tradi- tions that hamper it, the course of their love gives promise of run- ning smoothly. Then comes the unexpected and surprising climax. May is. a good month for the British elections. Almost anything may happen.--Toronto.
