The mass of evidence, largely opinion of witnesses, was conflicting, and resulted in a lengthy inquiry. Three men, although no prepared to make sworn statements, were of the opinion that the truck was on the wrong side of the highway just pre- vious to the accident; three others refuted their opinions, and two stated it was too dark to be able to deter- mine the fact. : Frank Dear, Windsor, stated that he was driving a truck load of fruit to Mimico. He had a passenger, Jack Ross, Brantford. "I was trav- elling: between 20 and 25 miles an hour when I saw the car approach about 100 yards away. It was on its own side of the road, and then swerv- ed over toward to me and there was a crash. 1 couldn't positively esti- mate the speed of the car, but it was oing fast." 5 © Jammed in Cab Dear said he was jammed in the cab when the roof fell down on him, but he extricated himself and ran over to .a house to appeal for help. The Manion car was diagonally across the road, he said. One woman lay on the road at the right of the car, an- other at the left, and the man was in the back scat. Witnesses swore that both right wheels of his truck were off the pavement and allowed pelnty of room for a truck to pass. Jack Ross corroborated Dear's tes- timony 'in the main. "The truck was going between 15 and 20 miles an hour when I saw the car about 150 yards away. The driver said to me: "They're hugging the centre of the pavement" The car kept in a fairly straight line, then swerved at the last minute when it was 25 or 30 feet away. It seemed to make straight towards us. I would say it was going at an excessive rate of speed. The truck driver had applied his brakes and was just moving when the im- pact occurred." ; Thomas Joyce of Bronte said he arrived a few minutes after the acci- dent. "The truck had been within a few feet of Jones St. and then it swerved over to the south side." "Then it was on the wrong side of the road ?" a juryman asked. "By the marks I saw on the road, ves." "Was the truck on the right side of the road when the car hit him?" the juryman asked. "I don't think he was," Mr. Joyce replied. . Patrick Joyce, son of the previous witness said: "I don't agree with what my father said. He said the truck was on the wrong side of the road and it wasn't, The only marks on the pavement were the skid marks when the brakes were applied. I didn't see any marks from the north to the south side of the road." Thomas Joyce's statement was sup- ported by opinions expressed by Free- man Bray and Roy Thurston, of Bronte, but five other witnesses de- nied its credibility. * J Highway Traffic Officer David Rog- ers, of Oakville, was sure the marks weren't made by the truck. They were only three inches wide. Liquor is Found . "Did you search the sedan after the accident ?" asked the crown. "Some- one brought me a bottle when I was telephoning for the undertaker, I put it in my pocket. Later I picked up two halves of a bottle lying on the road beside the car. I don't remem- ber who brought the bottle into me." He identified a wrapped bottle of dry gin and two pieces of a Scotch whiskey bottle, one of which was cap- ed. P The coroner asked him for the name of the man who gave him the bottle. Freeman Bray . interjected that he was the person and took the stand, "I handed the bottle to Officer Rog- ers," he said. "I got it from the back seat of the car after we lifted the man out. It was right behind him: : "I agree with Thomas Joyce's evi- dence," he said, "that the truck was on the wrong side of the road. The damp pavement and the marks of the tires showed a circle where the truck had .come from the north to the south side of the road." : Dr. G. B. Chisholm, of Oakville, made the postmortem report assisted by Dr. Bremner, of Palermo. He said that death was caused by lacerations of the brain caused by extensive frac- tures of the skull.

FOE FOR PRESIDENT Jose Vasconcelos Nominat- ed by Anti-Re-electionists for Election . NOTED AS EDUCATOR Member of Obregon Cabinet Before Fleeing Country Mexico City, July 15.--Of particu- lar interest because of his attitude toward Mexico's international rela- tions, especially those with her great northern neighbor, is the possibility that Jose Vasconcelos may be elected in November as the next President of Mexico. He will be opposed by Pascual Ortis Rubio, nominee of the administration's National Revolution- ary party, and perhaps by some as yet unknown "dark horse." The Anti-Re-electionist party, at the closing session of its convention here the other night, nominated Vas- concelos amid the acclaim of an au- dience of several thousand persons, including more than 800 delegates. The Anti-Re-electionists are the second most important political group '| importance and an outgrowth of the principles' of the Madero revolut of 1910. They assert that the Nation. al Revolutionary party, now first in Anti-Re-electionist party, has .separ- ated itself from these principles as it has gained the upper hand in Mexi- co, beginning with the Obregon ad- ministration in 1929 and 'continuing through the administration of Calles and Portes Gil, In his speech accepting the nomina- tion, Vasconcelos showed a distinctly different attitude toward.the United States from that now officially exist- ing in Mexico. Assails Present Government Bitterly and in no uncertain man- ner he assgiled the present and pres vious governments, declaring that during the last eighteen years "a wave of corruption" had engulfed Mexico. He declared that unless there were a change in its public practices, Mexico was fated to total destruction of its sovereignty. He declared that if in the coming election the opponents were not able to play fair with cach other, if vio- lence and fraud should triumph, "the people" would be sacrificed to such an extent that at the next election they would not have the necessary strength even to name a candidate of their own. If the people should not triumph now, he said, the next election would be a mere formula, so that "thc man best suited to the United States" would take charge "as in Nicaragua." "At the side of some Chamorro," he cried, "will be grouped the ruffians, and no one will i able to oppose the reigning powers." On the, other hand, he said that if the people should triumph at the coming clection Mexico would have confirmed its ability to select the men it desired to govern the country. Vasconcelos charged that the mines, agricultural properties, water- power sources and other natural re- sources were all passing into the hands of foreigners, and attacked the concessions granted to American oil companies. In mentioning the power sources he apparently followed the lead of one delegate to the conven- tion who charged Ambassador Dwight, W. Morrow, with the conni- vance of former President Calles, with acquiring waterfalls for the gen- eration of electric power "for deliv- ery to the General Electric Company." Vasconcelos said the Mexican peo- ple were moneyless because their offi- cials lived in luxury - and that the country's funds had been wasted. He advocated creation of an exect- tive power strictly controlled by law. The President, he said, should be called to account for his fortunc be- fore and after his term of office, and urged that the Presidential period should be strictly limited, which "is a sacred and fundamental principle of our constitution." He declared that violations of judi- cial power should be ended; that jusges and magistrates should be po- pularly elected; that the natural re- sources of the country should be na- tionalized. One-fifth of the total number. of the Mexican people, he asserted, re side outside their country because of its economic distress. He called Mexico the least happy country on the continent, the poorest and the worst educated. All this, .he said, was because the government had de- stroyed industry and commerce and killed all initiative and production. The agrarian question, he said, was one of the most serious moral and economic problems, and judicious and economic distribution of land was re- quired. He demanded fiscal reorga- nization. Most Re-established Credit Mexico, he said, needed to re-estab- lish its credit abroad if the internal life of the country was to be organ- in 'Mekico anid represent: the' original | ized. = - $5: Lat ion |i Vasconcelos advocated that the at- my: be cut in order to weed out the undesirables. He echoed the charges of a delegate to the convention: that the Secretary of War, General Joa- quin Amaro, was making use of the army to further his personal agricul- tural interests. Men "of 'good faith" properly 'equipped as teachers, he said, should be used to widen the scope of educa- tion throughout the country, He de- clared that 80.per cent of .the Ameri- cans, with whose country. Mexico had necessarily to deal and compete, en- joyed not only eclementary . high school education, but technical train- ing as well, while in Mexico even elementary education was enjoyed by "20 per cent, or at the utmost 30 per cent, of the people." In closing his 7,000-word address, he. said that creation of "standard ideals," was perhaps the most urgent need of the country. There should be at least a tacit understanding be- tween the different political groups. He appealed for the disappearance of hatreds, and said therc was no need for violence in the country. Vasconcelos is an unusual figure in Mexican politics. He has been cam- paigning unceasingly for more than a year throughout the republic in the American manner, . stump-spcaking and otherwise furthering his cause regardless of the hopelessness of vic- tory, which he first faced when the late General . Alvaro Obregon op- posed him. He is almost as well known outside Mexico as within the country. In Obregon's Cabinet Vasconcelos was Minister of Edu- cation in the Obregon. Cabinet of 1923. He quarreled with Obregon, and since then, until he returned to Mex- ico more than a yéar ago, had trav- cled extensively abroad and in the United States, lecturing to many Am- erican, European and Latin-Ameri- can audiences and establishing a re- putation throughout Latin America as a champion of Hispano-Americanism. He has also been strengthening his reputation within Mexico as a radical but important international figure in education. At the same time, Vasconcelos, as one of the few surviving original re- volutionists of 1910, has played a prominent part in various revolutions etween that date and 1920. After participating in the Madero revolu- tion, he joined the banner of Venus- tiano Carranza in 1915, was a mem- ber of Congress, took an active part in the Villa revolution against Car- ranza, and when Villa lost he fled to the United States, where for a time he became a tailor in San Antonio. Returning to Mexico in 1920 dur- ing the Adolfo de la Huerta admin- istration, he became rector of the National University, and subsequent- ly joined the Obregon Cabinet, but was again forced to leave the country, He was a delegate to .the Interna- tional Anti-Imperialist Convention at Brussels in 1927. Vasconcelos has undoubtedly gain- ed much popular favor in Mexico since his return, especially among the middle class and the women, * Ninety-six per cent. of parofed pris- oners "come back" in life and make good, reports the Guelph Reforma- tory.

"TAY PAY" TELLS | OF PARNELL'S RISE AND WHY HE FELL Character of Irish Leader Revealed by Latest Book of O'Connor DESPERATE, RECKLES! Failure of Erin's Early Hopes Laid to Him London --~"A man of desperate and reckless resolution, who, if he had lived in the days of the French Revo- lution, might well have been one of the leaders of the Terror; like them, have sent to the guillotine the men he considered dangerous opponents of himself and of his policy." In these words "Tay Pay" O'Con- nor, the yeteran Irish journalist-poli- tician and close friend of Charles Stewart Parnell, sunis up the charac- ter of his friend and leader, in his "Memoirs .of an Old Parliamentari- an," which comes before the Ameri- can public today under the imprint of D. Appleton & Co. . Last Survivor of Nationalists Thomas Power O'Connor descend- ed on London from Dublin to look for a job in 1871, For a time he was on thé London staff of "The New York Herald." In 1880 he was clected to the House of Commons, where he has sat in every succeeding Parlia- ment to this day, when he is wheeled in in an invalid's chair, "the Father of the House of Commons," and the last surviving member of the Irish Nationalist party since the Free State created its own Parliament. He marched with the great leaders, Parnell and John Redmond, William O'Brien and Tim Healy, who became first Governor General of the Irish Free State, 1922-1927, but "Tay Pay" remained at Westminster after the battle was won because he had re- presented an Irish district of Liver- pool since 1885 and his people pro- posed to vote for him as long as the mountaineers voted for Andrew Jack- son. He was in the heart of the Irish struggle from the beginning. His first session in Parliament coincided with the choosing of Parnell as leader of the Irish party. The historic battle for Trish home rule is the backbone of "Tay Pay's" memoirs, which end with the tragic death of Parnell, worn out by the struggle with the English and his own party, and the seeming ruin of the Irish cause in the O'Shea divorce case. Parnell's mother was an American, Delia Tudor Stewart, whose father, Commodore Charles Stewart, Wad commanded the American ship Con- stitution in the War of 1812 and had captured two English battleships. "I cannot say that my first impres- sions of Parnell were winning" his follower writes. "I accepted the usual judgment on him that he wass abso- lutely cold-blooded and everything about him lent countenance to that judgment. He was cold in look, cold in manner, cold in speech. "I think it is not pushing things too far to say that there was a close resemblance between Parnell and his grandfather. I always have held that both in appearance and to a large ex- tent in character Parnell was much more American than cither English or Irish. He had at once that com- bination of masculinity and of cour- age and of nerve that are more Ame- rican than English or Irish. He had .__ -theycallhim The man you cant vattle' yo Many successful business men regularly use Wrigley's. The act of chewing has a soothing eect. The healthful cleansing action of Wrigley's refreshes the mouth-- gently stimulates the flow of the na juices--steadies the nerves-- digestion. : | that imperturbability of manner and impassivity of face which also are not characteristically English or Irish." The great achievements, of Parnell stand out vividly in those pages. In a few months the man who had been reluctantly clected leader of a dis- united party became the irresistible and adored leader of a nation-wide and revolutionary movement, His tac- tics of obstruction forced a radical change of procedure in the House of Commons which profoundly altered the constitution of that body, He re- stored the Irish people's faith in re- presentative government, which had been lost in the orgy of corruption in which the last Irish Parliament dissolved itself in 1800, He founded the Land League, which had: thou- sands of members and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars. in America. And twice when victory seemed in his grasp it was snatched away, once by the Phoenix Park murders in 1882 and again when his own connec- tion with Captain and Mrs. O'Shea was revealed in the divorce court. Sketching O'Shea, who was hated by most of the Irish members long before Parncll met Mrs. O'Shea, O'- Connor writes: "He was a real dandy, though a tasteful one. His face and expres- sion were in harmony' with his clothes; he had a round, placid coun- tenance, with the mutton-chop whis- kers then almost universal; he wore what used to be called a Prince Al- bert coat; his face was a little puffy and a little pale, and his expression was somewhat impassive. It is worth noting that O'Shea was one of those who supported Parnell for the lead- ership. It is ironical that Parnell gave this as onc of his defenses of O'Shea when, later on, he was thrusting him on the people of Galway."

But before the de. _gatis reached Chicago the Irish party w' irrevocably 'divided, and .the fiered division pursued the delegation until (it broke up. "Even the porters in Mr," O'Connor writes, "who had been profuse in their kind« ly attentions to us before the debacle, , now turned on us surly looks," Gladstone Abandons Parnell In England, Gladstone, then Prime sinister, had promised to sponsor a Home Rule bill during the next ses« sion with the cp-operation and assist« ance of the Irish party, When the Divorce Court decision was announced Gladstone wrote a letter to John Morley, then Chief Secretary for Ire« land, asking him to acquaint Par« nell with his decision that he could no Jonger negotiate with him as lea- der of the Irish party--in the inter« ests of all concerned a new leader must be found. "When the Irish party niet on Tuesday and re-elected Parnell," the memoirs show, "it was in ignorance of this letter of Gladstone. There is little doubt that Parnell had deliber- ately kept out of the way of the knowledge of this letter. Morley had done everything in his power to find Parnell, but Parnell was not to "be found." Parnell refused to resign once res elected and, after seven days of bits ter. strife in the party committee room, the Irish party split into two factions, forty-five members leaving the party, twenty-seven remaining with Parnell. This was December 6, 1890. Had Parnell resigned then, "if he could have been induced to lay aside the leadership for a while, it is not too much to say that he could have ruled Ireland from Arabia--who- socver might be the stop-gap leader "and come back to the leadership at his pleasure and more powerful than before. But he would not see things « in that light; he was too produ to give way, and there were other fac- tors that helped 10 keep him stubs born and unrelenting."

As a rule, the writer was informed, a great deal of our seed clover crops, particularly alsike, is cut too soon, There is a double loss in this case, as not only is the yield smaller, but the quality is inferior. A large part of the seed is not ripe, which wil mean cutting down on yield, and the threshed-out crop will be filled with immature seed which will not cure and will, there- fore, lower the value of the whole output.
