Was Electrocuted at Corner of Albert Street and 1st Avenue When He Attempted to Pick Up Fallen Hydro Wire WIRE BLOWN DOWN BY WIND Indications Are That Yardy Intended to Move Wire Where It Could Not En- danger Children Playing Near Earnest Yardy, a fireman, em- ployed at the W. E. Phillips uv., Ltd., and formerly of Trenton, was electrocuted shortly before one o'- clock today, at the corner of Albert street and First Avenue, when he came in contact with a hydro wire which had been blown down by a high wind. The wire was lying on the ground and it is thought that Yardy pick- ed it up in an endeavor to place 1t in a position where it would not endanger some children who were playing nearby. Although the wire was insulated, he must have come in contact with the uncovered end, receiving several hundred vclts. He fell to the ground unconscious. The unfortunate man was rusn- ed in an ambulance to the ush« awa Hospital where every effort was made to revive him, Dr. R, E. McMullen is attending and every method of resuscitation is being at- tempted. Yardy was off duty at the time the accident occurred. He was highly regarded by his employers {{at the W. E. Phillips Glass Co., where he had been employed for the past eight months. "He is sur- vived by his sorrow-stricken wife and family at Trenton. Hydro officials when queried be- fore press time knew little con- cerning the incident beyond the fact that the wire which caused the accident had been blown down by the high wind which raged this morning. No notice of the fallen' wire hag been received before the accident occurred. Mrs. Evelyn Bateman, secretary- treasurer of the W. E. Phillips Co., Ltd., told a Times reporter this af- ternoon that the whole Phillips or- ganization had been saddened by | the death of Mr. Yardy. "He was a trusted and faithful employee, and had been on our payroll for some time," Mrs. Bateman said. Neith- er Col. W. E. Phillips, president of the company, nor Allan M. Phil- lips, vice-president, could be reach- ed by The Times before going to ress. At the time of going to press it was learned that efforts were still being made to revive the spark of life in the injured man.

POOR TECHNIQUE He: Dearest, I love you terribly. She: You certainly do.--Answers. (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Calshot, Eng., Sept. 10.--Riding 'a blue and silver seaplane like a jockey on a thoroughbred horse, Squadron Leader A. H. Orlebar, captain. of the British Schneider Cup team, today raced down a marked course of three kilometres here to break all the speed recorus in the 'world and set a new mark of 368 miles an hour. Clocked by a new timing device, the results of which were announc- od more than three hours after the actual flight, Orlebar's average for four consecutive dashes over the course on Southampton water was 368.8 'miles an hour or 23.31 miles an hour better than the new world' record established Saturday by Flying Officer R. LL R. Atcherley in the Schneider Cup Race. Flight Lieutenant G. H. Stain- forth, who preceded Orlebar wiin u Gloster-Napier 6, also bettered At- cherley's record with a mark of 336.3 miles an hour. Swifter than any human being has ever travelled the youtnrul British ace Orlebar yet failea to attain the maximum speed which he might have made had the visi- bility been better. He believed he could make about 875 miles an ur. under favorable conditions. Stainforth was also hampered by poor visibility, His machine was frequently lost from sight in the haze as he streaked along the course after flattening out from a swift dive. The official announcement of the British airmen's_achievents was made later in the afternoon, after a long session by timers and mathe- maticians. Orlebar flew the super-marine Rolls-Royce S-6 with which Flying Officer H. R. D. Waghorn won the Schneider Cup race for England on Saturday with a mark of 328.68 miles an hour. 30 BELIEVED LOST IN STEAMER EXPLOSION (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Kharoslav, U.S.S.R,, Sept. 10.-- Ten members of the crew of the Soviet oil tanker Medveditza with their families, numbering it was believed 30 persons, lost their lives today at Norsky, ten miles down the Volga, when the steamer exploded, Nine members of an- other tanker, Grom, which was standing nearby were gravely in- jured and sent to hospitals.

Sterilization Of the Unfit to Improve Race (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) London, Sept. 10.--Sterilization of the unfit as a national policy was ur- ged today at a session of the third international congress of the world league for sexual reform. Dr. Norman Haire, secretary of the congress, and English delegate to the sixth international birth control con- gress in New York in 1925, declared public opinion should be educated so that sterilization of people unfit for parenthood would be as far as pos- sible oath, "But in cases of people who are a menace to society sterilization should be compulsory." Dr. J. Leunback of Copenhagen, Denmark, said sterilization was the most important means available for race improvement, but that ideas on the subject were still governed by taboos and legislation in which was a check on progress in all matters of race hygiene, Japanese Public Opinion is Against Singapore Naval Base; Hope for Cancellation of Work SERIOUS FIGHTING IN PROGRESS ON CHINESE BORDER State of Open Warfare Ex- ists Without Formal Declaration (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) London, Sept. 10.--Reuters de- spatches from Harbin, Manchuria, today reported that complete an- archy prevailed in Manchurian bor- der towns after widespread Rus- sian air raids and artillery bomb- 'ardments.

(By PERCY WHITEING, Canadian Press Staff Correspondent) Tokyo, Aug. 29.--Ever since the in- ception of the Great Britain naval base at Singapore, Japanese public opinion has taken it for granted that the outpost of the British Empire is being established mainly to confront the Japanese Empire. The adverse feeling toygrd the Singapore base, resulting irom this view has been simmering for some time, due to the zealization that there was little likelihood of the work on the undertaking being stopped during the life of the Conservative govern- ment. It is now finding expression again, however, with the advent of the Brit- ish Labor Ministry, as it is remem- bered here that when the Labor statesmen were in power before they were not enthusiastic over the pro- ject. The present Japanese attitude is well displayed in an editorial pub- lished by The Ji Ji Shinpo, one of the oldest and most Conservative and influential newspapers of Japan, which says in part: "It is regrettable that the British Labor cabinet has not yet decided on the cancellation of the Singapore naval base project. But despite some delay in coming to a decision in this respect, the sincerity of the Labor government should not be doubted. "In 1921, when the first Labor ad- ministration wanted to suspend work on the base, it had to consult Aus- tralia and New Zealand. At that time actual work had not advanced great- ly, but today a huge sum has been spent and we sympathize with the greater difficulty facing the Macdon- ald cabinet in suspending the pro- ject. The resulting delay should not be construed as unwillingness on the part of the Labor ministry."

Girl Who Fell 1,500 Feet is Alive to Tell How it Happened (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Chicago, Sept. 10.--Miss Evelyn Miller, aged 22, and an aviation enthusiast, yesterday fell 1,500 feet with a damaged parachute and lived to tell about it. After she had calmed her throbbing nerves and started breathing again, she went over herself to see what bones, if any, were broken, and was delight- ed to discover that she had escaped with only a badly twisted ankle and a wrenched spine, Propped up in bed at her home in Waukegan today, she admitted she was a bit sore, but determined to continue flying and leaping. "I guess I would 'e dead now, had: I been a heavyweight," she commented. "So I am thankful 1 weigh only 115 pounds and did not hit the ground with much force. "As I jumped from the plane I waited the regulation 100 feet, and then pulled the ring for the para- chute cord I felt a jerk as if the parachute were opening, and gave it no further attention, thinking the drop would be easy. "Suddenly I got the sensation that I was falling very fast. It took away my breath and when I looked up I discovered that the aluminum ring holding the shroud lines had broken. I grabbed desperately for the lines dangling in the air, but was not strong enough to hold them. With them gone, went my last hope. I shut my eyes, certain I 'was going to my death. About 100 feet from the ground I felt another little jerk, and spectators tcld me 'the 'parachute had filled out somehow, but I did not notice it. I hit the ground with a thud and was sure that was the end. I could not breathe and was aching intensely 211 over. Then men came running, and I was helped to my feet and began to breathe again. 1 felt my bones, but they seemed to be all right, and some one lifted CANDIDATE LEGISLATURE Convention Held at Beaver ton Yesterday Afternoon Rejects Resolution Calling for Amalgamation of Forces Opposed to the Government AS COALITION LEADER J. G. Lethbridge, Progressive Leader in Ontario Legis- lature, Re-affirms Stand of Party in Favor of Ab- Prohibition of solute Liquor Beaverton, Sept. 10.--A determina- tion to stand firm for the principles of temperance, and to reject all pro- posals for a coalition with any other political party featured a convention of the Progressive party of the rid- ing of North Ontario, held here yes- terday afternoon, The chief business of the convention was the re-nomina- tion of J. W. Widdifield, M.P.P. as the party standard-bearer in the next provincial election, whenever it may come out. Outstanding in, the events of the meeting, however, was the de- claration of policy by J. C, Leth- bridge, the Progressive leader in the Ontario legislature, and his denuncia- tion of bone-dry prohibition, includ- ing the prohibiting of the manufac- ture of liquor in Canada. He announ- ced -hiriself -as ready 'to step out of the leadership of the Progressive par- ty in favor of W. F. Nickle, K. C, should the latter consent to lead the * combined temperance forces of the province. R. H. Halbert, president of the Progressive organization in On- - tario, also spoke, and proclaimed his faith in the leadership of Mr, Leth- bridge, at the same time declaring that the Progressive party . should keep clear of coalition with any oth- er party. Rejected Resolution The convention opened with the presentation by J. Purvis, of Blackwater, newly-elected president of the Progressives in the riding, of the resolution which was rejected. The motion read as follows: "To the electors of north Ontario: To combat the greatly increased ex- penditure and the czar-like methods of handling public business, with re- gard to education, old age pensions, highways and the liquor question we need a united front in the coming election, regardless of politics; there- fore, as the north riding of Ontario county has always been prominent in independent thought, we desire to go on record as favoring an amalgama- tion of all the forces who believe that the present government has failed absolutely to keep its promises and pledges." No Chance Alone "The foundation for an opposition party should be laid now," exclaimed Mr. Purvis. "I don't think that the Liberals have any hope if they stand alone, and 1 don't think that the Progressives can do anything alone. All over the province there appear to be developing three-cornered fights." "We haven't a shadow of a chance of winning if we stand alone. That is clear. Not the shadow of a chance. If we cach pick a candidate we are play- ing right into the hands of Mr. Fer- guson. Our man is the man who is going to keep Mr. Ferguson in. they field.
