NO GREAT DAMAGE WAS THE RESULT Menace of Horns and Hoofs PreSented Grave Danger in Animal's Re- capture -- Was Event- ually Lassooed by Expert Panic stricken, a crowd of about four hundred people scattered in all directions and several casualties weer narrowly averted, when the giant bull buffalo escaped from its crate at Lakeview Park shortly be- fore six o'clock last night. Holiday makers, who had gathered about the buffalo enclosure to watch!the cap- ture of the herd of six preparatory to their shipment to Ottawa and Toronto, were terrified as the great beast smashed its way out of the stout wooden crate in which it had been imprisoned. As the frenzied animal galloped up and down the strip of park lawn outside the en- closure, people fled out of its way. A tense few minutes followed in which Walter Armsdon, expert an- imal shipper from Montreal, dis- played much cool daring, uncau., skill and courage. sDesperately he worked, and aided by his own men, volunteers. and. several constables, he succeeded in preventing the bui- alo from escaping out on the road. here \was deadly menace in that ighaggy head, the threatening he tremendous shoulders and sharp hoofs, but Armsdon took chances which no one else dared' take. When others were endanger- ed he saved the situation by attrac- ting the bull's attention to himself. Fifteen exciting minutes slipped by before the big bull was finally again made a captive, It was only atter much hard work yesterday afternoon that the old buil was finally corralled for tran-- sport, secured with ropes 'and dragged by a team of horses into the wooden crate which had been built to hold him. Armsdop and his men were busy driving another but- falo in the corral when the bull was heard making a terrific noise in his pen, 'No one paid any attention to it, however, until the crackmig and splintering of wood caused general alarm. Splinters the Crate "The bull's getting out," some one cried. Breaking vown under the terrific battering of the butfalo's powerful hind hoofs, the back of the crate was seen to, give way. Several men rushed to the crate and with their shoulders to the wooden back strove with all their might to prevent the bull's escape. But they might as well have tried to stop a shunting locomotive. 'Lhe beast back ed out of the crate, snorted and glared about, head lowered. Already aiarmed the crowd scat- tered in all directions. Women screamed and grabbed their children People ' climbed up on to trucks some dodged behind trees or build- ings, others just ran wildly in an endeavour to put as much distance between themselves and the buffalo as possible. As the exicted amimal ran to and fro one man stumbled in. its path and narrow.y escaped be- ing trampled on, But the Montreal contractor did not lose control of the situation. An expert in handing all kinds of ani- mals, Armsdon immediately ran in pursuit with his men. Spectators, emboldened by his daring, aga drew near to the scene of the mini- ature buffalo hunt, but were wisely held back by the police. Finally an opeaii offered itself, Armsdon ap- dangerously close and las- ke) the bull. It was secured in another Songer crate, A Hot Job "Well, that's been a hot job," remarked, after it was all over. "Lucky no one was killed." Dr, Campbels, a member of the To- ronto. Parks Commission, which is taking over three of the buffaloes, witnessed the whole proceeding and was one of those who assisted in the buffaloes capture, Three of the buffaloes including the old bull, are to be transported by truck to the Dominion Lxperi- mental Farm at Ottawa, while the three remaining buffaloes are be- .ing transported to Toronto, where they will be placed in one of the city's parks. The animals belong to the Dominion Government, ¥ WEATHER WILL ERECT NEW FARM BUILDING City Council Informed Arnold Brothers of This Decision The old barn on the city farm, which was totally destroyed by fire last Tuesday night, will be re- placed by a modern steel struc- ture, the city council informed the Arnold brothers, who operate the farm, last night. The coun- cil also promised that an effort would also be made to extend a water pipe to the farm, something which the Arnold brothers have been needing for several years on account of their extensive dairy- ing operations, Two of the brothers, who ap- peared before the council last night, expressed appreciation for the treatment which they had re- ceived at the hands of the city while members of the council were unanimous in claiming that in the Arnold brothers they had excellent tenants for. the city farm. They also conveyed to the brothers sincere regret for iby heavy loss which they sustain in the fire. COUNTY REGIMENT GOING INTO CAMP FOR A FEW DAYS Cobourg, Aug. 21.--The Nor- thumberland Regiment will go into camp at Horse Show Park, Cobourg, for a week's annual drill and rifle * practice, com- mencing August 27. About 250 officers and men will report for camp. NO SYMPATHY IF WORK REFUSED Governments Will Not Consider Men Who Refuse, Job- « Ottawa, Aug. 21 -- Unemployed men who turn down an offer of work will receive no further consid- eration from the Provincial or Fed- eral Governments, Senator D. Robertson; Minister of Labor, an- nounced yesterday. Commenting on scattered in- stances of men refusing gainful em- ployment, Senator: Robertson said: If men are known definitely to have declined employment, the Pro- vincial 'and Federal Governments may feel properly their obligations have been discharged. Men who refuse employment, which would provide them with safe surround- ings, wholesome food, shelter and a modest compensation will not merit further sympathy or consideration by the state." Instances of men refusing em- ployment were not general through- out the country, he said, although they had occurred in some localities The Federal Government, in co-0p- eration with the provinces and the municipal was ing to create employment opportunities which would enable men to provide for themselves and their dep [ABOUT 7 PER CENT. ARE UNEMPLOYED Registration Figures Point To This Fact In Oshawa ------ In connection with the registra- tion of Oshawa's unemployed citi- zens, at the expressed wish of Premier Henry for the informa- tion of the Ontario Government, it is interesting to note that ap- proximately seven per cent. of the total population of the city had placed their names on the list of jobless yesterday afternoon. Compared with other cities in Ontario South and East it is very apparent, from newspaper reports from these centres, that the con- ditions here cannot be compared with cities which are not almost wholly dependent upon local in- dustries for thelr prosperity. For example the City of Belle- ville, which incidentally only had twelve men register during the first day that registration opened, had almost exactly one per cent of its population registered yes- terday as out of work. The City o Kingston, with a population very similar to Osh- awa, has a registration of about 800 yesterday, or about four per cent. od Registration in this city does not close until Saturday and it has been unofficially computed by those who are in close touch with the situation that when completed the Oshawa lists will carry at least 1,650 names, MOTOR DRIVER Ran Down Police Officer "With Intent" It Is Alleged Hamilton, Aug. 21.--Sanford Hope, young Indian of this city, who is alleged to have been the driver of the automobile which proceeded at terrific speed along the Hamilton-Caledonia Highway late on Tuesday night and crash- ed into the motorcycle of Traffic Officer Noble Morris of Cale- donia, was arraigned in Police Court today on a. charge of un- lawfully and with intent maim- ing, disabling and causing griev ous bodily harm to the officer in question. The Criminal Code on this count provides for a maxi- mum penalty of life imprison- ment, No evidence was offered, and the case was adjourned at the request of Harry Hazel, Assistant Crown Attorney. Norman Barn- hardt of Aldershot, and Jack Hope, brother of Sanford Hope, were charged with illegal con- sumption of liquor, but their case wag adjourned also, Traffic Officer Morris was re- ported to show a little improve- ment at St. Joseph's Hospital to- night. He rallied somewhat to- day, and was semi-conscious at intervals. Doctors were more hopeful that he would recover. He suffered a fractured skul-and other injuries when he and his motorcycle were hurled into a ditch by the speeding automobile, which he was attempting to halt. Police have refused to divulge names of three girls who were in Hope's car when he was ar- rested. It was stated, however, that the girls all lived in Brant- ford. They have been questioned closely, and probably will be called as witnesses against Hope and his two male companions. ents, If an offer of work were spurned that individual would re- ceive no further consideration, said Senator Robertson.

The programs given this year by Mr. Dempsey and his most ef- ficient band have proved most ac- ceptable to music lovers from all over the city and it is expected that the audience 'this evening will be comprised of citizens drawn from all over Oshawa in addition to the usual crowd serv- ed by the small park in which it is to be held and where the band is always most appreciated. Airs of European lands, from which a large proportion of the andience is ushally drawn on these occasions, will be a eature of this xi igh program, while selections of standard excellence will also be included in, the pro FACES CHARGES By Premier Henry. Toronto, Aug. 21--Through Com- missioner of Public Welfare Albert Laver, of Toronto, Premier George S. Henry yesterday informed Mayor Stewart that the Provincial Govern- ment was prepared to take care of 30,000 unmarried men on the trans- Canada highway and roadwork at a daily wage of $2.40, against which there may be a charge of $1 a day for food and lodging. Based on 'these figures the Gov- ernment appears to be willing to spend approximately 2,000,000 mon- thly in taking care of the situation commencing in Stepember. It re- lieves the situation to a great ex- tent locally, because it is expected that at least 10,000 unmarried men will be registered by Sept. 1, and it was feared that only 10,000 men would be employed at any one time. Feeding of the jobless army that is to be engaged for the construc- tion of the Ontario link of the trans-Canada highway will, it is un- derstood, be handled entirely by the Henry Government except in cases where work is let to outside con- tractors. Men will be assessed possibly. 75 cents per day for rations. Present intimation has the assessment at $1, the same applied by the Govern- ment in northern road-building work last winter, but 'the lower ill Employ 30,000 Unmarried Men Will be Paid 30c Per Hour, Less Board Charges, In Con- structing Trans-Canada Highway--Plans For Camps Nearing Completion--Work May Commence About September 1, According to Information Given Out charge, it is said, may finally be made operative, Pay will be 30 cents an hour, for an eight-hour day. According to officials in charge of the immense organization which the trans-Canada project will entail, no decision has yet been reached re- garding distribution of clothing, pur- chase of camp supplies, or the ap- pointment of the purchasing 'auth- ority, James Sinton, Chief Engin- eer of the Northern Development Branch, is at present superintending purchasing plans. No Discrimination While the Government is rushing arrangements for its enrollment of transients from the large centres of Southern Ontario, the North coun- try has been assured--in a special statement issued yesterday by Hon. Dr. J. M. Robb, M.P.P., Algoma-- that its own unemployed will not be crowded out of jobs by the in- flux of men from the older section of the Province. Early appointing of a special committee, cither from the Cabinet entirely or a body comprising both respresentatives of municipalities and members of the Government, to supervise final unemployed regis tration, and to insure an equable distribution of trans-Canada jobs among the municipalities, is likely, [9-GUN SALUTE GREETS ADMIRAL Earl Jellicoe To Be Ac corded Honors On Landing Quebec, Aug. 21.--Canada's initial welcome to Earl Jellicoe will be a 19-gun salute, fired from the Citadel ag the famous sailor steps ashore at Quebec on Saturday morning from the Cana- dian Pacific liner Duchess bof York.

To-morrow afternoon twenty- five mothers with their small chil. dren who are very much in need of a summer outing, will leave the city to go to the Kiwanis Camp for one week. This happy holiday is being made possible for these women through the ef- forts of the Women's Welfare League and the Family Welfare Board, and the kindness of the Kiwanis Club. For one week the mothers will be free from the do- mestic = worries that confront them every other day of the year at home. They will however, be responsible for their children who are being allowed to go with them to the camp. It is expect- ed that there will be nine infants and thirty-five to forty children between the ages of one to six. Mrs. R. G. Mills and Mrs. G. W. Garner are the joint conven- ors of the committee appointed from" the Women's Welfare Lea- goe and the Family Welfare Board. They with their commit- too have succeeded in making ar- rangements for the week at camp very complete. Three young ladies from Toron- to who are experienced in social service work and being with ehfl- dren are to be in charge of the camp. - Miss Kathleen Russell who has been with the Neighbour. hood Workers at the camp at Bol. ton, Ontario, Miss Borothy O'- Nefil, Ls teacher of physical train. ing at St. Helen's * 'College ' for Girls at Montreal, and Miss Eu- nice Noble, are the cgmp mana- gers.

Miss O'- Neill is to be in charge of the mo- thers, Miss Russell in charge of the older children and Miss Noble will look after the little tots. Every day a nurse will go out from Oshawa to assist the mo- thers in caring for their babies. This {is being made possible through the kindness of the Alum- nae Association of the Oshawa General Hospital, A New Venture "The camp is an entirely new venture for the Welfare Associa- tions of the city, and the ladies of the Women's Welfare League are particularly anxious that it be successful," said Miss Grace Jack~ son, social welfare worker for the city, while talking to The Times this morning. It is just one of the many new things that the League is anxious to put into operation in the city. Miss Jack- son was high in her praise of the work being done by the welfare workers in Oshawa. The Welfare Society would ap- preciate the contribution of any- thing that would add to the plea- sure of these mothers and their children while they are at the Ki- wanis camp. If anyone with chil dren has an extra supply of sand pails and toy shovels that the kid. dies love to play with, the young- sters who are going to the Ki- wanis camp to-morrow would be glad to have them. Donations of food during the week would also ba appreciated.

Rumours that the Government might resign because of opposi- tion encountered were discounted in Informed quarters to-day and such development wag considered unlikely in extreme. ORANGE LODGE HAD VISITORS L.O.B.A. No. 97 Entertain- ed Visiting Lodges on Wednesday The presence of visiting lodges from Whitby, Pefferlaw, and also members of Victory and Okley Lodges added much interest to the regular meeting of Queen Mary Lodge, L,O.B.A, No. 97, held in the lodge rooms on Wednesday night. United Lodge, of Pefferlaw, had come especially to see the work of the Orange degree as exemplified by Queen Mary Lodge and express- ed admiration for the dignity and efficiency with which the degree work was conducted, At the conclusion of the evening's business, delicious refreshments were served in the dining hall, after which all returned to the main lodge room to join in community singing. A brief but enjoyable program was given as follows: song, by Mrs, Kerr; Highland Fling dance by Mrs. Jackson, clog dance by Mrs. Simpson ; solo, "Old Virginia" by Mts. Corners of Pefferlaw, step dances by Mr, Zuefclt. An amusing competition was held in which the Scottish, English, Ir- ish and Canadians competed in sing- ing their native songs. The judges, however, could not decide which group was the best so wisely left the matter in abeyance. The prize cushion in the recent draw held by Queen Mary Lodge was awarded to a member of Peffer- law Lodge who held the lucky ticket number. A pleasant evening was concluded with the singing of the national anthem.

POLICE CHIEF BADLY BEATEN Is Set Upon When He Answered Telephone Call (By Canadian Press) Port Credit, Ont.,, 'Aug. 21.-- Summoned fo Port Credit Town Hall by a mysterious telephone cali early this morning, Chief of Police Telfer Wilson was set up- on by two men as he entered the building and given a severe beating. The chief's face was battered and his fingers badly mangled. The chief is under the doctor's care. He was unable to talk for 'some time after the attack. It is understood Chief Wilson thinks he recognized his assafl. ants and has given their names to Provincial Constable Joseph Allen, who is investigating. Some time after the chief was assault od, his official notebook was found om the highway and turn- ed over to the police. All the used pages in the. book Were torn out, _ me .947,000 EXPENDITURE MAY BE UNDERTAKEN AS EMPLOYMENT MEASURE BOTH FIGHTERS FINED $3 EACH Recent Bout On Streets Of Oshawa Aired In Court Presumably the final episode was written into the quarrel be- tween Eddie McDonaldfi local unemployed leader, and John Farkas, alleged Communist, when in police court today Magistrate T. K. Creighton convicted both men on charges of disorderly con- duct in a public place. The charges were the outcome of a fight which took place between McDonald and Farkas in Memor- jal Park on the morning of July 24 last. Each was fined $5 and costs and was bound over to keep the peace toward the other for one year on bond of $500. In- terest which the case has aroused was indicated by the hundreds of spectators who crowded into the court room to hear the trial Farkas, who was defended by Hugh John MacDonald, of Toron- to, pleaded not guilty to the charges but McDonald, through his counsel D. A. J. Swanson, pleaded guilty. The case for the prosecution was conducted by J. A. McGibbon. Although the thought to have ) come of McDonald's antagonism toward alleged Communistic activities on the part of Farkas, the court could only concern ite self with the actual charges of disorderly conduct and the only evidence of Communist leanings on the part of Farkas was a book which was submitted as an ex- hibit. This book which was the property of Farkas was in Mc- Donald's possession during their fisticuff bout and one witness testified that Farkas attempted to snatch it away from him. A red cloth bound volume, it bore on its cover the emblem of Red Russia--the hammer and sickle --and an odious title "Banish God from the Skies and Capital- ists from the Earth." Farkas ad- mitted cwnership of the book and claimed that he had given it to McDonald some weeks previous and that the latter had never returned it. Events of the day in question were recalled by John Gibson, an employe of the Government Liquor Store, who was one of the first witnesses called. Gibson, who was then on his holidays, said that he was walking on Sim- coe street south when he saw three men including Farkas rid- ing south on bicycles, McDonald was on the street near him and Lhe saw the three beckon to Mc- Donald. "McDonald said 'Let's go down and see what they want,' " wit- ness testified. "I went with Mc- Donald and we saw\that the three stopped in front of Memoria. Park and got off their wheels. We went into the park and found the other two men rest- ing in the shade of a tree They called McDonald "to them and he was talking to them, I then 'saw Farkas and McDonald fighting together. McDonald was getting the better of him in the hoxing but Farkas seemed strong- er in the clinches, The fight was stopped by the arrival of Detec- tive Sergeant Flintoff." Fred Robinson who was pres- ent at the fight said that he had come up town with McDonald that morning, 4 "McDonald stopped to talk with Mr. Gibson in front of Sim- coe Street Church and then went with him to Memorial Park, I followed them and saw Farkas and two other men. I heard Far- kas call McDonald 'A white Eng- lish faker.' Farkas then made a pass at McDonald. Eddie dodged him and then hit him. They went right to it then. McDonald show- ed himself the better boxer and Farkas, seeing that he was get- ting the worst of it, went into a clinch and bit McDonald on the shoulder. I pulled them apart and they went to it again," Witness said that there was a book in MeDonald's pocket and that Farkas seemed to be en- deavoring to snatch it away. To prevent him from doing so he took the book from McDonald and kept it until the police ar- rived. He then turned it over to the police. Witness recognized it as the one which was submitted to the court as an exhibit, "When I arrived Farkas and Me¢Donald had just finished fight- ing," Detective Sergeant H. Flin- toft testified. "They were both pretty .well covered with blood and Farkas had a black eye. fight was been the out- (Continued on page 3) Construction a of Sewage Disposal Plant Consider- ed--Outfall Sewer, Two Bridges, Retaining Wall at Lake Front, and Other Important Works Listed by City --d $215,000 WOULD BE FOR LABOR ALONE Building of New City Hall, Police Station and Fire Department Not Consid- ered at Present -- Osh- awa Creek Division a Matter For Dominion Government A tentative program of relief works, involving an expenditure roughly estimated at $947,000, was adopted by the City Council meeting in committee of the 'whole last night. This program however, will: likely be subject to changes and modifications before it is finally presented to the Pro- vincial Government for approval, These public works would be un- dertaken as relief measures and the Provincial and Federal Gove ernments would share in 50 per cent of the cost, it is understood. Exclusive of a sewage disposal plant, which is included in the list at an estimated cost of $650,- 000, other items on the program such as sewers, paving, bridges and grading are estimated at a total cost of $297,000. Of this amount, City Engineer Goedike states that $215,000 would be for labor alone. The program was drawn up by City Engineer Goedike and Ald. 8S. Jackson, chairman of the Board of Works. Two heavy items, a city hall at an estimated cost of $150,000 and a combined fire hall and police station, at an estimated cost of $100,000, were struck off the list. At least the council in committee voted against the inclusion of a city hall in the list, while for some unknown reason the question of a combined fire hall and police station was not even discussed. Items which were approved in committee are as follows:---- Construction of 3,200 feet of outfall sewer in connection with se- wage disposal plant. Retaining wall on Bloop St. bridge . . Retaining wall, St. bridge . 600 feet of retaining wall at lake front ....... Gibb Street storm sewer from Centre Street to: CreGK scesvesssseees.$ Paving .
