'THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 14, 193f PAGE NI Montreal of 100 Years Ago Is Recalled By Exhibits Montreal, May 13--"What did the bride wear?" is answered in a very unusual way at the McCord National Museum 'McGill University, wheic a special exhibition features, among other. things. of a century ago, what the bride wore in 1931, including wed- ding gown of white, bonnet and veil that were the pride and joy of the great. grandmothers of the present generation. Three other figuges illustrate what the women of 1831 wore on other oce casions, the wasp waists and the high bonnets contrasting strangely with thé styles of today, the lengths of the dresses do not appear odd despite the century between the styles, Rare Heirlooms Costumes provide only one of the main features of the exhibition that will continue for some four weeks «There are many rare heirlooms lent for the occasion by old Montreal families and none more curious than the tea caddy, bed warmer, work box and papier mache fire scicen. The tea caddy brings to mind the customs: of another day now long past.

APPEALSORDERTO CONFISCATE SHIP Takes Action in U.S. Supreme Court Washington, May 13.----(CP)~-- James W. Merkle, owner of the British vessel Francis T. seized by the coast guard September 29, 1929, off the New Jersey coast, has filed with the Supreme court a peti- tion asking it to prevent the con- fiscation of the vessel by the United States Government. Claiming that the vessel was with- in 12 miles of shore and had just completed a transfer of liquor to another ship, the U.S. Government insisted there had been a violation of the Tariff Act which warranted the confiscation of the vessel. The owner insisted that when seized the vessel was 14 miles off Barnegat lightship, outside the cus- toms jurisdiction of the United States, and challenged the right of the coast guard to board the vessel or use any of the evidence obtained by unlawful search. The U.S. Government claimed the seizure was warranted because the ship's papers were defective. It charged that after seizure a sack of liguor was found aboard. The cap- tain of the vessel testified, the Gov- ernment asserted, that the vessel had taken on 75 cases of malt and 100 cases of whisky at St. Pierre, and transferred it at sea 100 miles south of Georges Banks to another vessel. The owner contended the vessel was proceeding without cargo to Bermuda for a cargo and denied that any laws of the U.S. had been violated. The Federal courts at New York City sustained the con- tention of the U.S. Government that the vessel should be confiscated. EDDIE GUERIN IS GIVEN WHAT MAY BE LAST SENTENCE Notorious Criminal Once Es- caped From Devil's Idland London, May 13 --Eddie Guerin, internationally known crook and fam- ous as the man who once escaped from Devil's Island, stood in the dock at Old Bailey the other morning and received what is probably his death sentence. For forging cheques, the court con- demned the 71-year-old man to three years of penal servitude, And that in an English prison means hard grinding labor, It will about be Ed- die's finish, He realized it as he stood" gwaying in the dock trying to tions, His pale, pasty face g er.

I have been persecut- ed most shamefully fof years" Then the wardens led him away, a weak, wobbling old man, who, if he had led a straight life and had em- ployed 'his talents in an honest way, might now be enjoying slippered case. Led Strange Life One of the Scotland Yard men, af- ter the conviction, gave the story of Guerin's strange life. Guerin was his real name, He was a British subject of Irish parentage, born in 1860. He said he had a wife and four children, but the police were unable to prove this. His first brush with the police occurred in August, 1887, when, under the name of ry months hard labor for being a sus- pected person. He. next turned up in France and the Lyons Assizes court gave him years imprisonment for larcgncy f a person. in a bank. When he com- Jleted his iis sentence he was" xpelled 1r . Fnen he he bobbed up in the United becoming associated with the "Chicago May". He re- turned to Paris in 1901 and was ar- rested in connection with a bank rob- e was convicted, sentenced to penal servitude for life and transpor- GETTING READY FOR LONG FLIGHT Almost ready to take-off for Budapest, Hungary from Petrol, Michigan, say these two Hungarian flyers, Captain George Endres and Lieutenant Alexander Magyar, who are shown here conferring with Edward F. Schlee, member of the famous Schlec-Brock "world-flight" flying team who is assisting them in lubrication matters. Mr. Schlee is Michigan and Ontario representative for the Valvoline Oil Com. The plane is expected to leave Detroit for Harbor Grace, pany. Newfoundland about May 20. In the trio from left to right is seen Captain Endres, Ed. Schlee, and Lieutenant Magyar, of 1894 and got away to South Am- erica and thence back to Chicago He was heralded all over the world as the man who escaped from Devil's Island, a feat thought impossible. But the police said he really escaped from a prison settlement on the mainland, making his way through the thick jurgle into Dutch Guiana, a trip which kills most men. The French authorities made ap- plication to the United States for his extradition but he had beaten them to it by returning to England. One day while he was standing in Russell Square, "Chicago May" and a man companion drove up in a cab and the man shot Guerin, wounding him in the foot. He was taken to the L. Royal Free Hospital. Beat Law Once The French Government asked that he be turned over to them. He was arrested on behalf of the French authorities and confined in Brixton Prison for about a year while the lawyers fought "the extradition claim. The Kings Dench Division finally: decided that he could not be extradited, so he was discharged. Guerin lay low for a time, but was arrested in 1918 and sentenced by the Sussex Assizes to 21 montlis impris- onment for attempting to steal a suit case and $1,000 worth of jewellery from a hotel -and assaulting a valet. At that time he gave the name of Thomas Garen. He was hardly. out of prison before he fell into the hands of the police avain.

The total increase during the year Ly the excess of births over deaths, was 73,069, but this was offset by an excess of departures over ar- rivals of 11,408. Since the census of 1921 the population has in- creased by 1,040,299 -- 755.907 by natural increase and 284,392 by net immigration. The average an- nual increase since the census has been slightly less than 2 per cent.

Got Three Months In 1924 he turned up at Edinburgh as Thomas Edward Garin and was given six months imprisonment for trying to steal a jewel case from a hotel bedroom In May, 1928, he was tried in a London court and given three months imprisonment for being in a Hotel bedroom with intent to commit a fel ony. In November, 1929, a London court gave him 12 months hard la- bor for stealing a suitcase from a platfc rm at Victoria station. . This time he gave the name of Edwin Ed- ards.
