Mrs. Murray, mother of the boy, stated that the injuries were first diseovered when she came to remove the lad's jersey, prior to his gonng to bed, on the evening of July 22, the day of the formal opening of the Rotary Pool. "When I "lifted up his arm the boy drew bagk and flinched," said Mrs, Murray, "and on looking at his arm I discovered the marks." She states further that Bobby nevér complained about the in- cident, and nothing would have come to light about it unless he had béen questioned by herself and hig father. "When I discovered the marks I called his father, and we could make out the word "MIKE" quite clearly," said. Mrs. Murray.

"We felt," said Mr. Murray, "that the boy who did this thing ought to be scared so that he would never do such a thing again. We were not looking for a court case, or for publicity, but 2 telephoned the police station thinking that a uniformed police- man would probably scare the boy responsible more than any- one else.

While the police are not in- terested in the circumstances re- garding their temporary absence from home, being chiefly con- cerned with their safe return, no official report being available in connection with their movements, it is understood that the two girls motored to Toronto on Tuesday evening with companions of about their own age returning on the following day, omitting to tell their parents of their in- tentions and forgetting the trouble that their absence from home would cause. ------ HIGHWAY WORK WILL BE RUSHED Premier Henry Promises Early Start With 3,000 to 5,000 Men Employed Port Arthur, July 30.--Every- thing possible will-be done by the Government to hasten participa- tion "by 'Ontario in the construc- tion of the trans-Canada highway, sald Hon, George S. Henry, Pre- Hib of the Province, here yeater- y. Declaring that he was aware of the rked for the absorption of the unemployed, the Premier in- timated between 3,000 and 5,000 would be employed in Work on the Thunder Bay district links of the highway. Work would be started this autumn and would continue through the winter, he expected. Preference would be given to local labor, he stated, in securing men for the project, and as many single unemployed as possible would be engaged in operations, after needy married men had been provided with employment. Much of the construction work to be undertaken, will be through pocky country.

At eight o'clock when the meeting was scheduled to com- mence, the Collegiate Auditoruim contained what, in that large hall, appeared like a "handful" of men and women, numbering probably 200. Leaders of the unemployed realized that there was probably some good reason for this small attendance, and that possibly some of those interested in the gathering had expected it tu tame place in Centre Street School. As a result of this men were depu. tized to go te the school and ahout half past eight, returned loading a large mumber of men and women who had been wait g at'the latter place. The total attendance at the meeting when the proceeding had '| got well under way did not ex- ceed 500, however, weatner con- ditions probably having a great deal to do with this as ths hall got uncomfortably warm as the evening progréssed. CASE REGARDING CAT DISWISSED Woman Charged That In- spector of Humane So- ciety Destroyed Valuable Kittens His Worship Magistrate T, K. Creighton in city police court this morning dismissed the action brought by Mrs. Sadie Brooks, 32 Albert Street against John L. Orr, inspector for the Oshawa Humane Society, who it was al- leged wilfully destroyed six valu- able kittems, the property of the plaintiff. In passing judgment His Worship stated that Orr had car- ried out his duties in a manner in which he believed to be right, but cautioned him that he should be careful in future of exercis- ing his duties as he would find it unwise to enter the homes of people and take away their pets, without getting the opinion of a veterinary, In the case this morning it was adduced that Mr. Orr visited the home of the plaintiff and showing his badge told her that he had had complaints of the condition of certain cats. He ex- amined a number of kittens and took four away to the pound, telling Mrs. Brooks that they would be held until early in the afternoon. He telephoned Dr. Shirley, a veterinary surgeon, who sald that he did not wish to see the cats but asked in what condition they were. On being informed that they were im bad condition, he said that Orr should use his own judgment in disposing of them, Orr stated in court that the cats were suffer- ing from what he thought to be mange and their eyes were exud- ing, foreign matter, while they were harely able to walk.

Heaps, M.P., of Winnipeg, ads dressing a meeting of the Oshawa unemployed in the Auditorium of the Collegiate Institute yesterday evening, in putting forward his ideas regarding a solution of the existing unemployment problems of Canada, stated "We of the "labor movement believe that the profits of the financiers and the investors should be cut down so as to be on the same basis as the returns to labor for their product.

At the outset of his address Mr. Heaps stated that he came to Osh awa direct from Hamilton, where "Labor has placed a man in field that they hope to elect next Monday." "It is nearly time that Labor bes gan fo wake up. Canada is facing a crisis in her history more serious than shé has ever faced before; said Mr. Heaps, who drew the ate tention of his audience to the that there are only three répresen- tatives of Labor in the Parliament at' Ottawa and none in Toronto. "What do you expect to get no representative in the Legislature in Toronto and only three out: of 250 in Ottawa?" asked Mr. Heaps.
