Scott and caused damage estimated at $14- 000. The garage and other build- ings were burned practically to the ground and the blaze is said to have been the worst in the history of the community. In spite of the efforts of neighbors who formed a voluntary bucket brigade the flames could not be checked and a call for assistance was sent to Oshawa and Brooklin. The fire brigades of both communities re- sponded but the lack of a ready water supply hindered them in their endeavors to check the spread of the flames, The blaze was first noticed by a passing motorist who immediately roused the residents of the Cook home. They barely escaped with thir lives and had not a chance to save a single article of furni- ture. The flames shooting upward into the sky soon aroused residents of the village who rushed to the scene with the object of rendering assistance. Within a few minutes a near-by blacksmith shop and a house owned by Mrs. Scott were also blazing and it was feared that other buildings would be threat- ened. The citizens of the village feel grateful for the manner in which the Oshawa and Brooklin fire de- partments responded to the call for assistance, They arrived at the fire in remarkably short time and al- though unable to put out the con- flagration they were able to keep it confined to the four buildings. No explanation can be given as to the cause fo the fire. The garage in which the blaze originated was entered last Thursday night by thieves and tires and inner tubes were stolen to the value of $50. The loss sustained by Mr. Cook and Mrs. Scott is partially covered by insurance.

The lower picture shows the locomotive on her inaugural run hauling a sec- tion of the 'International Limit- ed," crack train between Montreal, Toronto, Detroit and Chicago, New Oil-Electric Locomotive Expected to Revolutionize Railway Transportation Montreal, Aug. 26.--A new de- velopment in railroad motive pow- er, oil-electric locomotive No. 9000 of the Canadian National Railways, left Montreal this morning hauling a train carrying a gathering of rail- road and public men and news- writers on her inaugural run. The largest and most powerful of her kind in the world, locomotive 9000 was evolved from the oil-electric passenger cars which Canadian Na- tional engincers developed four years ago, and her initial operat- ing test today is being watched by mechanical experts of railroads on both sides of the international boundary. Oil-electric locomotive No. 9000 has been heralded in railroad cir- cles as the most sensational de- parture yet made in motive power principle, and it is predicted by some motive power experts that it will revolutionize railway opera- tion throughout the world. Brief- ly, it is the adaptation of the oil- electric car to the locomotive, tuel oil being used to operate the engine which drives the electric generator and the power from the latter rur- nishing the energy to turn the pro- pulsion motors. Its perfection was due largely to S. J. Hungerford, vice-president of operation and construction of the Canadian Na- tional System, and C. E. Brooks, chief of motive power. Engine 9000, differing radicaly in appearance from steam locomo- tives, consists of two units apd weighs 310 tons when fully equip- ped. It is 94 feet long and each unit consists essentially of an oil engine generator set mounted on the locomotive frame, boiler equip~ ment for steam heating of passen- ger coaches, four traction motors for propelling the locomotive, air brake equipment and other auxil- iary equipment. The ofl electric locomotive draw- ing the second section of the ain- ternational Limited is scheduled to pass through Oshawa between 5.45 and 6 o'clock, daylight saving time, this evening. Citizens who are interested in seeing this new monster of the rails should be at the local C.N.R. station this even- ing at that time. Although "The International Limited" operates daily, each way, between Montreal and Chicago, the completion of the demonstration run will be at the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition station. It is in- teresting to note that.thé day sel- ected for the run is "Highways and Automotive Day" at the National Exhibition, and while the directors are officiating at the opening of the new automotive building, tne new giant of the rails - will be J thundering along the steel railway to the Exhibition station. On ar- rival there the party will be wel comed by Mayor McBride, Presi- dent Thomas Bradshaw and the directors of the exhibition associa- tion. Following arrival, the party will be the guests of the director- ate of the Canadian National Ex- hibition for the grand stand per- formance, and, for those who, re- main over the following day, the Canadian National Exhibition has extended the courtesy of the grounds and they will also be tend- ered a special luncheon at which C. M. Brooks, chief of motive pow- er, Canadian National Railways, whose efforts made the completion of oil-electric locomotive No, 9000 possible, will be the chief speaker. Apart from making the run of the first schedule of "The Interna- tional Limited' No. 9000 will haul a train in keeping with the equip- ment of this noted limited train. Iit will consist of all steel equip- ment, made up of six coaches and parlor cars, a baggage car, and a diner. No. 9000 is the direct de- scendant of oil-electric car' No. 10020 which was brought out by the Canadian National Railways, 4 years ago, and commenced its ini- tial run from Montreal to Vancou- ver, a distance of 2,937 miles, on November 1, 1923. The coast-to- coast run was made in exactly 67 running hours and thereby .estab- lished three world's records for railway operation which today stand supreme--that of a gruelling endurance test of the motive pow- er; that of a non-stop engine run; and that of breaking all speed rec- ords to the Pacific Coast.

Etfect of Chain Store on Retail Merchandizing Annual Meeting of Retail Merchants' Association Opens Today (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Toronto, Ont., Aug. 26.--The prob- lem of the chain store and its effect on the merchandizing business oc- cupied the centre of attention in the address of J. T. Crowder, president of the Retail Merchants' Association of Canada, at the opening of the an- nual meeting of the Dominion Exe- cutive Council of the Association here today. The meeting will last un- til Thursday. The result of the development of chain stores on the grocery business has been to eliminate the wholesaler, said Mr. Crowder. Independent' rc- tai.crs were being forced to adopt the methods of co-operative buying m quantity to enable them to meet the competition of the large Unitf. This development was not yet finished and retailers throughout the country should prepare themselves to buy more and more in large quantities since this was the only way of com- peting with a corporation which plan- ned to establish a store for every unit of 2,000 population in every large centre in Canada. ; Despite the rapid growth "of the chain, Mr. Crowder continued, the in- dependent retailer still persisted, out- numbering and doing a greater vol- ume of business in the aggregate. He said the Dominion Department of Trade and Commerce study and try to assist the domestic distribution of Canadian-made products. $1,000,000 Damage Hull, England.--The whole city was covered last night by a dense pall of smoke from a fire which de- stroyed the new fish market at St. Andrew's docks, seven trawlers which were alongside and 100 freight cars on a nearby siding.

British Chancellor Rejects New Offer By P Powers (OFFER REGARDED AS LAST CONCESSION FOUR POWERS WILL MAKE TO BRITAIN Exar Estimate the Offer Represents Seventy-five Per Cent. of Amount De- manded by Mr. Snowden --Some Doubt in British Quarters FATE OF CONFERENCE IN THE BALANCE Offer Amounted to $6,720,« 000, Based on Written Proposals Furnished to Rt. Hon. Snowden by, Premier Jasper of Belgium The Hague, Aug. 26.--Rt. Hong Philip Snowden, British) Chancellor, of the Exchequer, informed the other four creditor powers today that their new proposals did not! satisfy the British claims and ind their present form were inaccept able. |} The Hague, Aug. 26.--Rt. Hon.! Philip Snowden, British chancellor of the exchequer, today had under consideration a new offer of France, Italy, Belgium and Japan designed to fulfil British demands for a larger share of German reparations than the Young plan calls for, The experts of the four powers estimated that the offer represent- ed 75 per cent. of the amount which Mr. Snowden has been de- manding although in British quar- ters there was some doubt as to whether it represented that high a proportion. In French circles it was made known that the offer was regarded as the last concession toward the Britsh stand that the four powers would make. In the new proposal which was delivered late last night in writing was assumed were to have been found worth of close examination by the British chancellor at least and this has given rise to renewed hopes among the diehard optimists at the reparations conference. The activities of the conference have been transferred almost en- tirely to nearby Scheveningen where there was a good deal of coming and going among the other delegations while Chancellor Snow= den at his hotel was considering the decision on which the fate of the conference, in general opinion, appears to rest. A meeting of the four powers 1n- terested in evacuation of the Rhineland, which was to have been held today, was postponed, subject to call. All other activities of the conference were also put off until Mr. Snowden's decision is made known. The corresponaent of The Havas Agency, principal French news agency, at The Hague estimated that the offer of the four other creditor powers to England amounted to 28,000,000 gold marks annually (approximately $6,720,- 00) as a supplement to what the Young plan already awards her. Of this sum France would rur- nish 12,000,000 marks, iselgium 2,000,000 and Italy 14,000,000. This was based on the written proposals furnished to Rt. Hon. Snowden, British chancellor of the exchequer, by Premier Jaspar, of Belgium, in reply to the British re- jection of the verbal proposals on Saturday.

Huddleston, 53, died several hours after he was shot by Brown, 42, but knowing he had sent to eternity the enemy who had shot him, The duel occurred by prearrange- ment in the centre of the town, be- fore the eyes of men who had gath- ered in hope of preventing trouble. It resulted over a daughter of Hud- dleston, whom Brown, a married man with eight children, had gone away with on two occasions. Brown har just returned from a Clover, Ga, trip with the girl, and had sent word Enmity Beowien Georgia Men Is Ended in Double Slaying (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) to Huddleston challenging the latter to meet him. Huddleston previously had warned him to stop his atten tions to his daughter, Huddleston was waiting, seated in a chair with his gun across his lap in front of a store, when Brown arrived. The vounger man, also carrying his gun, passed into the store. Huddleston followed, but passed 'on through the building and returned to his seat in front. When Brown came out he turned and fired at the man in the chair, the buckshot taking effect in his stomach. Huddleston, without raisin gun "from his lap, then shot Brown in the chest, killing, him instanly. He was thrown from the chair by the the force of the recoil
