. PAGE TWELVE THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1929 CANADA SHOULD "STOP EXPORT OF LIQUORTO USA. charge three duties, ome of which _ is called a customs duty, another a consuming duty and the third by some other name, but the three du- ties total $1 per gallon. That car- go, paying no duty in Canada and a duty of only $1 per gallon at Mi- quelon, has an advantage of $8 per gallon over 3 Saree sent to the United States y other part of Canada, and I want to know why we charge an excise duty of $9 per gallon on liquor going direct to the United States when it goes out the back door by way of Detroit or Ni- agara Falls and when we know 1t is going to the United States, with everything pointing to that fact, while if it goes out the front doox and 1ands at this little island there is no. excise duty collected. 50 Gallons Per Head "1 wonder if the minister imag- ines that we are so devoid of in- telligence in Canada as to suppose that the people of Miquelon cou- sume all this ligour. I pointed out the other night that Canada alone sends annually over 50 gallons of liquor per capita of the adult popu- lation of 42 gallons per head when calculating every man, woman and child on the entire island. Some one says that'is not enough, but I think it is quite sufficient; if all ihe Inhabitants of that island con- sumed that much liquor per head for two years there would be only about two or three individuals left alive, and they would be regarded as perambulating distileries. It absurd; the government of Canada must know that the liquor landed on that island is not consumed there. "I am not going to discuss the question whether our excise duty on liquor going direct to the Unit- et States is too high or too low but 1 do claim that we should charge the same duty on liquor ex- ported to Miquelon or to any other foreign country as we charge on liquor for home consumption, be- cause I believe one of two things happens; either this liquor finds its way back to Canada or it reaches some other market such as that om the United States. In any event it is objectionable. Why does the minister say that there is such a wide open door at Detroit and Ni- agara Falls, when we have efi dence that that door is not open on the Atlantic ocean? A vessel was found two hundred or two hundred and twenty miles off the shore of the United States and a government cruiser shot it down, and yet we are told that the same government has a green light up and it is perfectly safe to smug- gle liquor at Detroit and Niagara . Falls. YY Eliminate Drunkenness "There is something a little sus- picious about the statements given to this house by the minister but 1 do not care whether he is right or whether he is wrong, what I want to say is this: The people vt several provinces of the Dominion of Canada have come to the cons clusion that they can best handle this liquor question through gov- ernment control. I:do not know whether they are right or whether they are wrong, but it is a great experiment and I want to say here that I ally myself with those peo- ple of Canada who are trying to eliminate drunkenness from soeci- ety. This i8 the method which has been adopted, and I plead with this government to ally itself with those provinces which are tryng to do something with regard to this liquor question. "The government should do something to help them and not leave the door wide open and thus circumvent the efforts which are being put forth by those who be- lieve in government control. We give these smugglers and eight dol- lar advantage on every gallon. we are told that the smuggler and bootlegger has been eliminated from Ontario. He was eliminated when the Ontario Temparance Act first came into force and he did not veapper for two or three years, but , Ite found out how to get around that act. In three or four years' time he will find out how to get around this government control act, and I am fraid we will have the same conditions. "I believe that act is a good law but I think a.fair chance should be given to the provinces to better the condition of society. No headway will be made as long as this gov- ernment stands still and permits the conditions which exist at the front door of our country, which conditions only tend +10 circum- yent the efforts being put forth by those who have faith in govern- ment control. As 'a Canadian I consider it of great importance that we should endeavor by every means to prevent the export of liquor to the United States. We should do that, but our greatest duty is to the people of the Domin- ion of Canada." BODY OF CHILD SUICIDE FOUND Chatham Lad Grieved at Removal of Brother by Court Chatham, June 15.--Four days after he had told his little sister he would run away and kill him- self if his older brother was taken away, the body of Nelson Cunning- ham, aged 11, was yesterday found in MacGregor's creek. On Tuesday Alfred Cunningham, 13, brother and close chum of the dead boy, was. taken to the Vic- toria Industrial school at Mimico. Magistrate Arnold. who sent the older boy to the r«orm school, did so largely because he feared he was having a harmful influ- ence on his younger brother and hero worshipper. Not till after the body was found today did the magistrate know of the boy's threat to commit suicide. The two boys appeared together in court Saturday on a minor charge. Nelson was sent home with his father. Alfred was kept in the Children's Aid shelter, pending re- moval to Mimico. Monday Nelson went to school with his sister, Josie, 9. He was never seen alive again. After he disappeared Josie told ber father, G. C. Cunningham, that on the way ta school, Nelson had said: "If they take Alfy away I will run away and kill myself." He bound the little girl to secrecy. When the child told her parents police were notified and the country scoured for the missing boy. While alarmed by the threat, the family did not believe that the lad would actually attempt suicide. The boy was reported to have been seen in Tilbury. He was apparent- ly running away towards Detroit * This morning a man crossing the Tecumseh park foot bridge noticed the body. Within an hour the father identified his son, The threat had been carried out. There were no bruises on the body and drowning within 24 hours, indications pointed to death by drowning within 24 hours. Coroner T. L. McRitchie has no* yet decided whether an inquest will be held. He is conducting a personal probe of the juvenile tragedy. The dead boy was one of a fam- ily of 11 children, Four years ago a baby sister toppled into a tub of water and was drowned. OSTERPATHS WILL HOLD CONVENTION American Association Will Hold Annual Meeting at Des Moines Chicago, Ill, June 15.--Scores of osteopathic physicians from all parts of Canada will attend the 33rd annual convention of the American Osteo- pathic Association in Des Moines, Ia., June 17 to 22, with many of .them scheduled to deliver important addresses. Approximately 3,000 Osteo- paths will attend, according to the preliminary registration records, the bulk of them from the United 'States but with strong representations from Canada, England, France, Scotland, Hawaii, Porto Rico and other: lands, Dr. Hubert J. Pocock of Toronto, assistant programme chairman of the convention, in charge of Canadian participation, expects an unusualy large attendance from all provinces, and particularly from Ontario. Dr. Pocock will deliver an address on epilepsy, based on lengthy re- cearch on that subject, and it is understood he will disclose some new and important points on the treat- ment of the disease. One section of the programme will be devoted to a discussion of the treatment of mental disorders. Much progress has been made in' this field during the past year by the associa- tion and its clinics. Many women will address the con- vention, including Dr. Katherine Lynch of Paris, France, who will dis- cuss chronic appendicitis. BRUTAL WURDER IN WISCONSI N Gangster Is Wired to Post --Actually Burned at Stake Rhinelander, Wis., June 15.-- Wired to a post by loops around hte neck, knees and feet, then burned, the body of a man was discovered in the woods near Three Lakes Thursday. Death was caused by shots from a sawed-off shot- gun. The weapon was lying at the feet of the victim. Earl L. Kennedy, county attor- ney ,has made a prelimipary in- vestigation, and believes the man is a Chicago gangster in some way connected with liquor traffic. Thirty miles north of here is the camp of Joe Saltis and 40 miles away the remnants of the Al Ca- pone gang have a summer camp. "It is one of the most brutal murders I have ever investigated," said Mr. Kennedy. "The man was wired to a stake after being led a half-mile into the woods, then coldly shot to death, They set fire to his body to destroy the evid- ence. They came back several days later, found part of the body un- consumed, and started . another fire. Identification will be diffi- cult." "This type of murder has never before been committed in Wiscon- sin, It has all the earmarks of one of the gangland slayings in which the killers are judge, jury and executioners," CHRISTIAN ESKIMOS ARE HAPPY PEOPLE Ottawa, June 15--~Christian Eskimos are the happiest people in the world, said Bishop Lucas in an address recently in Richmond, Ont, The Eskimos held life cheaply 25 years ago, infanticide was rampant and the murder of old people was not infre- «quent among them, but Christianity had changed their natures and all this had disappeared, the Bishop said. They are model parents now and the old people are well looked after. The Eskimos are hospitable to a degree, too, the Bishop said and in these days they meet white men as equals. Bishop Lucas, has been a mission- ary for the Church of England in the Mackenzie River District, the largest diocese in the world, for 35 years. His diocese comprise 600,000 square miles, with a population of 6,000, one person to every 1,000 miles. SIX MEN INJURED IN FURNAGE CRASH idespread Report Placing Death Toll at 11 Proves Groundless Sudbury, June 15.--Sudden col- lapse of a reverbatory furnace in the Coper Cliff smelter of"the In- ternational Nickel . company yes- terday afternoon caused injuries to six men. : The furnace was out and the men were preparing to reline ft.

There was no molten metal in the pots at the time. Paul Haynes, a Montreal stu- dent and rugby and hockey star, suffered the most serious injury. He is not béieved, however, to be in danger. Others injured include Louis Socri, Oscar Rantala and a man named Sluminen. There are various reports as to the cause of the accident, but of- ficials denied last night that mol- ten metal had anything to do with it. First reports said that 11 men had been killed. Later it was ru- mored that an explosion had caus- ed the collapse of the roof over the reverbatory furnaces. It was stat- ed that none of the injured were in a serious condition. PLAN PICKS UP MAIL FROM LINE Successful Test Carried out off Fire Island New York New York, June 15, -- The rirst successful pickup of mail from a ship at sea by airplane was accom- plished Wednesday from the liner Leviathan by Lieut.-Commander George Pond and co-pilot L. V. Rawlings, in a Fairchild mono- plane, The exchange of mail occurred off Fire Island, about 75 miles from New York as the Leviathan was steaming out to sea bound for Southampton. The Fairchild plane. accompan- ied by a Loening amphibian piloted by George Cobb and equipped with sending and receiving radio appar- atus, arrived over the Leviathan 20 minutes after leaving the air- port of Keyport, N.J.
