Ignored Order Of Fire Marshal, Man Fined $10 Pleading not guilty to two char- ges of refusing to obey and carry out instructions of the Fire Marsh- al, Alfred H. Robinson, 41 Queen Street, appeared before Magistrate Frank S. Ebbs in court today. He was fined $10 and costs on one charge and the other case was ad- journed to Sept. 3. Robinson was charged when he failed to comply with an order in- stnucting him to demolish a build- ing on Park Road, which the Fire Marshal considered a fire hazard. Fire Chief, W. R. Elliott, who is the assistant to the District Fire Mar- ghal, testified that the structure had only three walls and no win- ows or doors. He said Robinson ordered to demolish the build- ing by May 20 and that he ignored the order. : Defence Counsel A. F. Annis, K, C., questioned the authority of the order. "This is in the nature of a Gestapo order with no choice giv- en," said Mr. Annis, "Do you mean that the Fire Marshal has the right to order any building, say the Bank of Commerce on the 'four corners," torn down?" "Certainly not," replied the Fire Chief. * Crown Attorney A. C. Hall told the court: "We cannot allow Mr. Robinson to set himself above the Jaw. He is actually defying an or- der of the Fire Marshal which, to me, is just as serious as ignoring a criminal charge." The Crown pointed out that if th: maximum penalty, a $100 fine for each day after the order is ig- nored, were imposed, Robinson would have to pay $6,300.

For, in the words of a govern- mer' "2 paper on the colonies in 19¢ he world's needs became the E : pressures moulded the year. .ritish money, in tens of millions of pounds, was available to develop food resource#, explore sources of raw materials. British advice was sought to reduce the drain on the sterling area's dollar resources. But with the blue paper went the spoken warning of Lord Treegarne, who 'is able to influence British in- vestments as chairman of the Col- onia] Development Corporation: "I should hesitate to recommend to the board that the corporation should invest large sums in the col- onies with a political obsession against the good faith of the Unit- ed Kingdom. "Out of the 30 or 40 colonies in which we might operate, there are just two or three where there is an unfounded talk of exploitation by Britain, I am sure for example, that the Gold Coast is disturbed. If so, is it not possible that the Gold Clast is the victim of stimulated disturbance?" Largest single development is the £25,000,000 ($100,000,000) peanut de- velopment in East Africa, started in 1947. When its crops have been harvested, Lord Treegarne said the Pmpire "will find it has gained something greater even than crops of much-needed food. It will have gained a spiritual victory, a stinu- lus and triumph for the British people which will speed them along their uphil] road." These other arrangements were to speed colonial development: Reconstitution of the Colonial Economic and Development Council and regrganization and strengthen- ing of the Colonial Office economic division. Progress under the Colonial des velopment and welfare acts which already authorize expenditures of £180,000,000 in 17 administrations, £50,000,000 of the total being pro- vided by the United Kingdom. The Colonial Development Coy- poration was, granted borrowing pwers up to £110,000,000 and the Overseas Food Corporation may borrow £56,000,000. This means money will not be lacking for suit- able projects. Missions have gone overseas to check specific proposals for ine creased colonial production. Co- peration on development is being forwarded with France, Belgium and ther colonia] powers. he developments will benefit the colonies and their people. But the other aspect was stated by Lord Milverton, Governor of Nigeria, when he said Britain did not ask for pity but did ask that the senior Empire partner "should be helped in her convalescence by the adop- tion of a guided economy through- out the Empire until normal health and strength come back to the world of trade and commerce." al Empire's opportunity."

Britain's Prices: Of Farm Products Double '38 Level By JAMES McCOOK Canadian Press Staff Writer London--(CP)--Britain's drive for greater self-sufficiency in food. pro- duction has doubled the price of most farm products compared with pre-war years. Taking the years 1927-29 as a base and setting the prices then pre- vailing at the index level of 100, the agriculture ministry said that in 1938 the index price for wheat was 94 and 191 in 1947. Other gains were as follows with 1938 prices in brackets: Barley 219 (84), oats 197 (79), po- tatoes 181 (87), sugar beet 196 (86), fat cattle 183 (95), fat sheep 180 (60), fat lambs 166 (69), bacon hogs 200 (84), milk 221 (102), eggs 204 (85). " These indexes are for farm prices fixed years ahead under the new agriculture policy. Prices will not fall below the following for the crop years to 1951-52: Milk 2s 2d. (44 cents) a gallon; cattle 92s. a live hundredweight; sheep 1s 10d, a pound dead weight; pigs 30s. per 20 pounds and eggs 3s 2d, a dozen. Millable wheat harvested in 1948 and 1949 will be paid for at an average rate of 23s. a hundred- weight plus an acreage payment of ,60s. on the first 10 acres sown to this crop. The milling oats average price will be 20s 6d. a hundredweight and feeding oats will range from a mini- mum of 18s 7d. to 20s 3d. The higher price of farm products wage rates--up 157 per cent com- pared with an average increase of 65 per cent in all the industries for which data were collected. "The value of output per worker is already higher in Britain than in any other country in Europe and both pay and the standard of liv- ing are higher," said a government statement. "Output per man has probably risen by 80 to 90 per cent in the last 10 years. From 1925 to 1989 the in- crease was very rapid and during the war output per man-year rose by 10 to 15 per cent. This increase is mainly attributable to the mech- anization of farming which was en- couraged by the high proportion of wages in agricultural costs." Calgary, July 22--(CP)--A wide- spread police net is slowly drawing in new leads on the 19-year-old murder of Thomas Charles Hall. 'Wednesday night police obtained additional information about the 66-year-old broker-teamster from Andrew Vestrum, farmer of the nearby Balzac district. Vestrum, who learned from a newspaper report of the murder that police wished to question him, said he wintered a team of horses owned by the slain man in 1928-29. Hall failed to come for his horses in the spring of 1929 and he visited the cottage in whicch Hall lived May 1. It was vacant. Hall's mummified body was found under the floor of the same one- storey, spook-ridden cottage July 10. Police say they believe he was muir- dered in March, 1929. The farmer said he disposed of the team in May, 1930 with the consent of Fred E. Hall of Cadillac, Police Start on Jig-Saw Of 19-Year-Old Mystery Que., eldest son of the murdered man. The son, then living at High River, Alta., later took his father's wagon and harness, Vestrum said. Fred Hall, now assistant manager of a gold mine at Cadillac, left here for Quebec Tuesday. He flew here voluntarily to assist police in their investigations. He said his father operated a brokerage business in Calgary and that the teamster work was a sideline. 'Police are trying to contact the Hall's second son, Charles, now be- lieved to be in Denver, Colo. He was in Christie Street Hospi- tal in Toronto for treatment about t o years ago and later stayed with his wife's relatives at Hamil- ton. Detective Inspector Reg.

Oshawa Wood New York, July 22 -- (AP)--In death, as in life, Mary Powers re- mains a mystery. The 72-year-old spinster, reputed- ly as wealthy as a princess, made a $30-a-day hotel suite her lonesome kingdom for 25 years. There she re-' mained in silence -- with almost never a visitor and without news- papers or radio, Tuesday death dropped a final shroud of silence about the strange woman--whose last order apparent- ly was to pérpetuate that silence. The Walters Funeral Home said today it was arranging her funeral but there were mysterious instruc- tions that nothing more could be said. Likewise, nothing could be elicited from her hotel or her bank. A little of her story could be pieced together, however, chiefly as a result of an unusual episode last year which threw an unwanted spotlight of public attention upon her. That happened when the State of Pennsylvania tried to claim $25,000 in Glen Alden Coal Company divi- Recluse Paid $30 Daily To Hotel for 25 Years, Wealthy Spinster Dies dends belonging to Mary Powers. Company officials testified that since before 1939 they had been sending dividends to her, but that she refused to cash the cheques. 'This sent reporters swarming to her door, but it got them little but a wealth of rumor. Finally, she claimed the dividend money. The hotel served her only one meal a day during her lonely ex- istence there. Four times a year she paid her rent, and once a year a physician came. At rare times a representative of her bank was ad- mitted to the shade-drawn interior of the suite. It was said her wealth fan to $15,000,000, but that wag only con- jecture, She is reported never to have left her suite, and her clothing was said to be that in vogue 50 years ago. She did her own laundry and housecleaning work, but did, how- ever, tip the daily waiter liberally. It is believed she had no rela- tives.

Roaming Cow At Neighbor's Beets Owner Fined $5 Philip Druz, 335 Bloor Street, pleaded not guilty to the charge of allowing his cow to trespass before Magistrate F. S. Ebbs in court to- day. Druz was fined $5 and costs or five days. Harold Hughes, 390'2 Bloor Street, told the court that he awoke on Sunday morning, June 26, and looking out the window, saw his | garden in shambles. Investigating | he found that the greater part of | his beets had been eaten and the | rest of the garden trampled by al red cow. Druz pointed out that a nearby neighbor had a red cow as well. Crown Attorney A. C. Hall then said that the neighbor's red cow was only three weeks old, while Druzs' red cow was a yearling.
