Nothing seemed to be lack- ing to make for the complete success of the ever-popular show which has made a name for itself throughout the whole district surrounding the city, and the whole setting was one which augured well for the complete interest of the citizens in the two days' program which is being present- ed, The interest of the people of the district in the Fair was cvidenced: this morning by the large number of pev- ple, many of them exhibitors, . who flocked into the Fair grounds, each making for the particular interest mn which his or her chief interest lay. The result was that the grounds pre- sented a busy. appearance before the noon hour, and this paved the way for the great rush of Fair visitors from the city. Young and old alike made Alexandra Park the goal of their objective, and at an early hour it could be seen that the attendance was to be an exceptionally large one. And a large attendance is all that is required to ensure the success of the Fair in every detail. The exhibit- ors and the directors have already done their part, and it remains now for the thousands of citizens to show their interest and support by attend- ing the Fair in full members. Record Live Stock As was to be expected, there was a great interest in all the live stock departments of the Fair, The build- ings available for the animals were quickly crowded to the doors as the farmers brought their cattle, horses, sheep and swine into the park, The addition of the junior farmers' com- petitions, helped greatly to swell the entries, and the largest showing on (Continued on page 2) Kidnapped By Maoris (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Auckland, New Zealand, Sept. 11-- Kidnapped by Maoris in childhood and eventually married to a native chief, a white woman has been re- stored to her relatives after nearly 30 years. When a child of six, Caroline Per- rett went to tend the cows on her parents' farm at Taranaki, in the north island of New Zealand. She disappeared, and it was believed at the time that she was carried off by Maoris in revenge for the distur- bance of their burial ground to make way for a railway. From then until recently no trace of her was found. A niece of the missing woman a few days ago saw a European woman with the Maoris at Taneauta. She was struck by the extraordinary family likeness, and questioned the woman, who said she had been with the Maoris all her life. She could not remember how she came to be with them. The niece asked the woman to show her her neck, as she knew that when a child the aunt had fallen across a hot grate, which left a scar. The woman bore this mark.

AUSTRALIA NOT Ireland to Sign |Optional Clause Of World Court IN FAVOR OF TARIFF PROPOSAL Mr. McGilligan Pays Tribute to Senator Raoul Dandurand (By George Hambleton, Canadian Press Staff Correspondent) Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 11-- Two more British Dominions were heard in the assembly of the League of Nations today. The Irish Free State announced it would follow the example of Great Britain, Canada and India and soon the optional clause of the world court statutes and Australia regretted that owing to the defeat of the Bruce govern- ment it would have to postpone its signing. "In the circumstances which have arisen in the last 24 hours, said C W. C. Marr, Australian delegate, "I fecl that, in accordance with consti- tional practice. I should not at the moment make a definite announce- ment on a subject of high policy." Mr. Harr also threw a dash of cold water of the proposal of Rt. Hon William Graham, president of the board of trade of the British gov ernment, for an European tariff holi- day 'of two years. Australian, he said, understood the desire of Euro- pean countries to facilitate the flow of international trade, But when an international © convention was pro- posed under the aegis of the league it should not be forgotten that the league 'did not consist merely of European countries. There were 27 non-European states who were members. The pro- blems . of Australia and other over- seas countries differed from those of Europe. If it was decided that the most appropriate method of dealing with the European tariff situation was by means of an international convention it would be well to recog- nize that "there ma¥y be a number of non-European countries who, at their present stage of a development, may be unable to adhere to such a convention," In announcing the Irish Free State's adherence to the optional clause, Patrick McGilligan, minister of external affairs, added that the world court did not go far enough in the way of arbitration. At the next session of the Dail Eireann, he said, he proposed to submit the gen- eral arbitration act for approval. The Free State, he said, was also prepared to go far in the direction of accepting a treaty providing for mutual financial assistance to states subject to aggression although the proposal might not be acceptable in its present form, Mr, McGilligan added a word of tribute to Senator Raoul Dandurand, Canadian delegate. He said Senator Dandurand deserved . the thanks of the asembly for his work in provid- ing a solution to the minorities prob- lem which had for a long time proved insoluble.

BODY FOUND ONLAKESHORE + YESTERDAY IDENTIFIED AS THAT OF DROWNING VICTIM Walter Stapley Was One of Four Victims of Drowning Tragedy Which Oceur- red on the Evening of Monday, July 29 ALL FOUR BODIES NOW RECOVERED Body Was Identified by Means of Watch, Jacks knife and Other Articles Found in Pockets --Cors oner Rundle Decides Ng Inqust Necessary - 1 The body of Walter Stapley, 1 Queen St.,, Oshawa, who wa drowned in Lake Ontario off Lake view Park Monday night, July 29. was recovered about four o'clock; yesterday afternoon when it was washed into shore west of the pumping station. Part of the bodw was badly decomposed, with the features unrecognizable, so that Jddentification was difficult. It was identified, however, four hours after being recovered, by Mrs. Stapley and her two sons, who recognized a watch, a jackknife and other articles found in the pockets, as having belonged to their husband and father, The body was sighted by John Kozub, 642 Drew street, who with, his wife and daughter were walk= ing along the shore near the point, some distance wesdt of the pump- ing station. It was floating in thm water a short distance from the shore, but the high seas on the lake prevented Mr Kozub from pulling it in to shore. They follow- ed it about a quarter of a mila cast along the shore, until it fin< ally drifted in. Then Mr. Kozub- ran to the pumping station for help, and with the aid of some of the pumphouse employees pulled it. up on shore. Police were notified. and Detective Sergeant McGee and. Provincial Constable Mitchell, 'to gether with Coroner Dr, F. J, Run« dle and the Luke ambulance, went to the scene. Raised by Storm The body Tad" evigently been raised by the wind storm of yes terday, which created a heavy sea on the lake. In the opinion of Cor= oner Rundle It had lain in deep, cold water most of the time sinc the, drowning occurred, and hadi finally drifted into a warm cur- Tent of water during the last few days which together with the hight wind had caused it to come to the surface of the water, and drift int shore. It was in a good state o preservation, considering the length of time that it had been in the' water, as, while the features werel unrecognizable, - the rest of tha, body was not badly decomposedy, he said. 5 'No Inquest There will be no inquest into¥ the tragedy, In which Stapley as well as three others lost their lives, Coroner Rundle stated to The Times today. The four, Mrs, Edwin Gomme, her daughter, Mrs. Robert Beckwith and baby Robert Beckwith all of 7 William street east, this city, and Stapley, went for a rowboat ride off Lakeview Park on the evening of Monday, July 29. and were never seen again alive.

Kenny, irate at the European style of barbering, sum- moned Arico by transatlantic tele- phone from Paris, last week, com- manding him to board the first boat and come to London to administer "a decent haircut," International Complications Follow Wish For U.S. Haircut (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Britain's alien law, designed to protect British labor against foreign competition, has stepped in the way Tt was reported representations have been made to the Labor Ministry to prevent Arico from working in Lon- don, en the ground the job could be done just as well by an English bar- T. Kenny is determined, however, and a way out has been suggested. It is that a British barber shall:-be paid to do the job, and stand by criti= cally while Arico actually performs it in a London hotel . Thus the objec- tions of the Alien Act would be tech- 'tically overcome,
