The Ottawa Free Press says: So far two men have been arrested in con- nection with the bogus militia chegue swindle of which some eighteen or twenty Ottawa merchants and a num- ber of Montreal, Kingston, and To- ronto merchants have been victims, 'this announcement was made by Col.

His method of passing the cheques was the same as that used by the man who victimized Ottawa merchants, It is not known yet whether How- ard H. Tremaine, who was arrested in Kingston on Saturday as being one of the gang of forgers, will be brought to Ottawa to stand trial. "The demands of justice at the place where he was arrested will have to be satisfied first," said Col. Sherwood. Inspector Parkinson of the Domin- ion police is in Kingston at present investigating the case. No New Developments. Up until Tuesday noon there was no new developments in the case of the men who have been cashing the fcrged Militia and Defence cheques. Ingpector Parkinson of the Dominion police, when speaking to the Whig, stated that nothing new had been un- earthed. Howard H. Tremaine, remanded to Jail for a week charged with .passing a forged cheque on Mahood Bros, was taken to the jail by Police Con- stable Bateson on Monday afternoon.

C. Connell, to pub- lish two full pages of illustrations dealing with this unit and its work. These will appear on Thursday.

Another Queen's man has given up his life on the battlefields of France, in the person of Pte. Walter Detlor, son of Mr. and Mrs. Perry Detlor, Bath. o { When speaking to Mrs. Detlor {over the long distance telephone on Tuesday morning, the Whig learned that she had been informed of the death of her son in action.

A musical attraction of unap- proachable excellence will be heard in this city in May, in the shape of the world-famed Creatore and his wonderful Italian Band. This or- ganization, the finest military band ava'lable for concerts in America to- day, and one of the greatest bands in { the world, will be heard in Kingston Covered Rink, performance at 8.15 | p. m. on May 17th at popular prices. The band will be heard here in its | ful! strength precisely as it played at the Toronto Exhibition last autumn, and at a series of concerts at the Montreal Arena, which attracted the largest audiences ever known in that city for band concerts. Guiseppe Creatore, the conductor, first came | into notice by the violent and eccen- tric methods of his conducting some twelve or fifteen years ago. It was speedily discovered, however, 'that | no matter how peculiar these meth- ods might seem, Creatore certainly elicted an extraordinary aud un- equaled amount of expression and vigor from his band, and at his last Canadian tour in 1915, the critics were unanimous that his arrange- ment of the British National Anthem was the most soul-stirring achieve- ment in the way of an emotional climax that any band that ever per- formed in Canada. His programmes on the present tour are largely mili- tary and patriotic. ------y-------------- Japanese Lingerie. The Japanese are sending us some beautiful hand-embroidered mater- fals which are being made up into lingerie. Perhaps the most striking examples are the white silk pyjamas sets for women. The jackets are beautifully embroidered in grapes and leaves, cherry blossoms and chrysanthemum blossoms, in the daintiest of colors, and delicate pink lotus blossoms. The prices of the garments are guaged by the amount of hand work upon them. They may be had in delicate colors as well as in plain white. There is also the short kimo- no, embroidered in the usual designe of 'white, pink and blue grounds. A very sad shooting accident oc- curred on Monday last at the hame of S.

A MAN ON THE HEAD WITH A : HAMMER. ; A German Before the Police Magis- trate -- The Charge Was Laid By James E. Grantham. Ten dollars and costs or two months in jail was the sentence im- posed by Police Magistrate Farrell on Frederick Detrich, a' German, who was found guilty of striking James E. Grantham on the head with a hammer. « ia According to the story of the plain- tiff, and his story wag corroborated by two other witnesses, he had gone up to the home of Detrich on Monday afternoon for the purpose of seeing if he had vacated the premises. Some few weeks ago Mr. Grantham, who is owner of the shed in which the row occurred, notified the German to leave on the first of May. When Mr. Grantham went up to the place on Monday lhe found that the accused was still on the premises. The two men had a few words, and during the excitement Detrich struck Grantham. The police were notified, and Deét- rich was taken to the police station by Police Constables Sergeant and Patterson. When Grantham was in court on Tuesday morning he showed the signs of his encounter, having a cut on his head. . "On the evidence given here this morning I find you guilty of the charge. You might have been here on a more serious charge." Patrick Flynn, a member of the R. C. H, A, pleaded guilty to being drunk and fighting on the streets, and was touched up for $3 and costs or thirty days. He struck a civilian over the head with his swagger stick | on Monday night, | | THEATRICAL NEWS At The Grand. Another excellent bill of photo- plays and vaudeville packed the Grand last evening.
