MAJOR-GEN. LESSARD WRONG "TOM" RILEY ALD. WRIGHT EXPLAINS INSPECTED THE TW TWO BATTERIES ON TUESDAY MORNING, He Met Trooper L. W. Mulloy--The Two Batteries Were Found To Be Doing Excellent Work. Major-General G. I. Lessard, In- spector-General of the Fastern Cana dian forces, inspected the local gar rison. on Tuesday morning. At 9.30 a.m. he visited Tete de Pont bar- racks and made a thorough - inspec 1 of "C" Battery on parade. la under command of Capt. W. F teacy,the battery paraded to Par. riefield nd were put through several movements for the General's inspec tion. At 2 p.m. Hen. Lessard in- spected the newly-organized 26th Bat tery In both cases he was highly pleased with the work accomplished. He paid' a tributé to 'Kingston as a training ground for artillery men and said that the 22nd Battery, now overseas, which he had inspected on his last visit here, was the finest battery he had 'ever seen, considering the amount of time that Major Reir- don had had, to put the men into shape. \ number of men were being given instruction in gunnery while the in spector was on Tete de ont barracks square, and he was greatly interested in their work also. In conversation with a Whig representative later he expressed himself as well pleased with » OC" Battery, and complimented Capt. 'W. F. Steacy on the results he had obtained. After Major-General G. I. Tessard had inspected "CC" Battery Trooper L. W. Mulloy -was introduced to him. \Imost the first expression the blind trooper made was a wish that he was only able to go ovegseas again and fight for his country When Trooper Mulloy had gone Gen. Lessard told the story of the manner in which the trooper had lost his sight. "He i= what I call a true soldier,"" said the General. Gentleman: Cadet J. R.

The Department of Justice did re lease the wrong "Tom Riley from the penitentiary the records at Ot tawa have been investigated and it has been found that the london man of this pame wat weleased, while -- the Canadian Government decided to grant a pardon to Thomas Ritey; who, twe years ago, was given a sev en-years' term for manslaughter for kiiling his wife in Hamilton. His con dition of health and extenuating Cir- cumstanéds connected with the mode of life of the woman killed led the Government to this decision. It appears that 'the circumstances of the case and the description of the man's age, place 'of conviction, ete., which came belore the Minister of Justice, were those 6f the Frisoner from Hamilton. But in some way the letter ""M" had been put into th. name, which made it that of the prs oner from London. I'heretore, . 1n stead of being Thomas Riley it was Thomas M:Riley. The name and the description went, in the usual courss, to the State Department, and follow- ing traditional practice.the State De partment made an order for the re- lease of the prisoner by name only, omitting the description. Lhe peni- tentiary officials, therefore, had noth ng to guide them bot the name, and they released Thomas M. Riley, "lata of London, now of Missouri. A new pardon will be made out for the Hamilton Thomas Riley. An effort will be made to have Thomas M. Riley extradited from the United States and put back to com plete his sentence. However. the of ficials of the Department of Justice have little hope that this will * sue ceed, not "being certain that they could return Thomas M. Riley even ii he could be taken in Canada I'he clemency of the (Crown, once granted, 1s not often withdrawn, even for mis taken identity. Discussed In Commons, An Ottawa special to the Whig says In the Commons Tuesday morning br. J. W. kdwards, member for Fron tenac, asked if it were tru¢ that a convict named 'Thomas Riley, sen- ten ed less than a year ago to serve a lifteen-year term for mauslaughter, had been released from penitentiary, Dr. Edwards said that if the state- ments Mere true it serious reflection upon the management of institution. Hon. C. J. Doherty, Minister of Justice, admitted the accuracy of the report. He said Thomas Riley, Hamilton, in April, 1913, was sen- tenced to a term of seven years for manslaughter. A year later Thomas M. Riley, London, was sent down for fifteen years for manslaughter. It had been decided to release Thos. Riley on parole, but the wrong Riley was allowed to go free. Mr. Doherty said that the incident was most regrettable. He intimated that ,n future in transmitt'my such or- ders care should be taken that such mistakes should not occur again. Riley is now in the United States. Replying to a question by D. D. Mackenzie, Mr. Doherty said that the order for the release of the Hamilton man would be acted hpos.

HIS HAND WAS BROKEN And Badly C rashes A At the Locomo- tive Works. William Gibson, an employee in the machine shop of the locomotive Works, met with a serious accident on Monday afternoon, that almost caused him the loss, of his left hand. The .young man was operating,a slot- ! ting machine and bis hand became jammed underneath the head of the machine when it was descending. A compound fracture resulted besides s: WITH REGARD TO 1 TO THE GARBAGE INCINERATOR. Cost Would Be Only Half Of That Estimated by Utilities Commission Light Plant Property the Place For It. Ald. G. C. Wright, chairman of the special committee appointed 'by the City Council with regard to ga: bage collection and disposal, will have to give the Utilities Com s sion some pointers with regard to the ereftion and maintenance of the Proposed incinerator, as there seeuls to be quite a difference of opinion as to the cost and as to the question of nuisance. Ald. Toye is strongly Opposed to having the incinerator on the property o° the Commission on Barrac street. Ald. Wright has photographs of incinerators erect>d In various places in Canada, United States and Great Britain where these structures are right in the heart of the cities and causing no nuisance whatever. In one city the incinera tor is close to a General Hospital "The proper site for a garbage incinerator in King-ton is right on the property of the Light Depart- ment," said Ald. Wright to a Whig representative this morning. "What's the use of 1 ng land away from that plant he object of our Com- mittee is to enable the Utilities Com- mission to utilize the power that would be generated from the heat of the incinerator and to lessen the cost Of cartage. we could build the incinerator at Kingston June- tion, but that would be ga .fodlish scheme for the cost would be twice as great." Ald. Wright disagrees with the figures submitted to the Utiliti Commission as to the cost, the total being over $11,000. His estimate is $5,000, provided a piece of the light plant land can he secured iree;-gg he contends it should, for both City Council and Utilities Conunission are selected by the people to serve them in the best way possible. The city's share of the cost of construction would be $3,500. "I have every evidence tliat the erection of an incineratcr on the Light plant property would cause no nuisance whatever," said Ald Wright "The proposition is a very simple one, and I hope that the Utilities Commission will see its way clear to assist us in the way we ask. | The Light plant will make a met profit of $2,500 a year by making use of the steam from tle incinera- tor. It's high chimney has been condemned and another has to be erected ir its place, so that two ob- jects can be served with the one structure. The incinerator is built close to the chimney, on top of the ground, and its operation is very simple. If ctarted at ence, the in- cinerator could be got ready in six weeks." If the City Council adopts the pro- position, there will be some discus- sion as to the method of charging the garbage collection. The special committee recommends that proper- ty be assessed-just the samo gs for water rates. The cost would at the rate of half a mill. Some. of the aldermen are opposed to this, tak- ing the view that the tenants o 16 and not the owners shrould liable. At present the budget contains an oppropriation of $4, 500 for garbage collection, which would suffice for this year, as the tax rate is struck. If the charge was made .on each individual own- e tenant, the general tax rate would be half a mill less. Proper Not To Enter Mexico.
