Telephone 489, our fur | van will call. Meeting Held in the Board of Trade | Rooms--Committee of Five Was | Appointed. An immense pageant to illustrate the history of the I Kingston from the t me of Count Frontenac to the present was advocated at a meet. | ing held in the Board of Trade rooms {on Monday evening. It was decided | that the time was not opportune yet, 0 ittee of five will k h JOHN MCRAY, juts mute ivi sup thd Limited. | it up again soon. 5 The idea as explained to the meet- 149-157 Brock St. ing is a splendid one. It would in- i valve every person of the city, and | with every persom giving their sap- {port it would be a grand success. | The object would be to furnish money to the Red Cross Society and to educate the citizens to better ap- | preciate the history on which this city is founded. ! An histor.cal pageant such as the {one outlifed would last for three days. It would be held in the open air and be a grand and spectacular review of the march of several hundred years back. This city is alive with landmarks 'and stories that could be converted into | pageant form. It would mean an immense amount of work, but the results would most certainly justify such an effort. | 'After a lengthy discussion at the meeting it was finally decided that Mayor J. M. Hughes, R. Meek, Miss M. Redden, Miss B. Bureau and Mrs. Kennedy would be the committee of five to take up the scheme. At a later date when the time would be { more favorable they will bring ik up |azain by calling a meeting and de- | cide if conditions would warrant ac- tion at that time.

"DRY LAW" WAS VIOLATED FINE OF $200 AND COSTS OR| THREE MONTHS FOR WOMAN Accused Declared She Was Ignorant | of the Law, and That it Was Un- | fair to Impose Fine on Her--An-| other New Drink for the Tipplers | Ignorance is no excuse for a viola- tion of the Ontario Temperance Act. | In Police Court Tuesday meornidg, | Mrs. Ethel Biccum, who lives at 282 | Ontario street, was found guilty of' a violation of the "dry law," and! was fined $200 and costs, or three months. With her little boy about seven years of age, the accused sat | through the hearing of the evidence, but offered no defence, apart from | a" statemrent that she did not know | that she was doing wrong when she] . | trate, events for .| generously offers $5 in gold | kept liquor in "her house, that she! needed it for sickness, and that she thought it was unfair that she should be fined. "There should be signs up so peo- ple can read about this new law," | she told the Magistrate. | 'I'm very sorry," but 1 do not | make the laws." replied the Magis-| i Three maple syrup cans were | brought into the court room by Con- | stable Samuel Arniel. The latter, | and Inspector McCammon, who made | the seizure in Mrs, Biccum's home, | which is situated over a warehouse, | declared that the cans contained | liquor. | Since the Temperance Act went! into effect we are hearing about new drinks every day, The bartenders of | of the old days are not in it with the way some of the tipplers can dope it out these days. A young fellow, gathered in for being intoxicated, said he did not drink liquor. He bought two bottles of invalid wine, and mixed some Jamaica ginger with it. Although he declared it was not liquor, the mixture was. such as to fill the bill all right for it made him So tipsy that a policeman had to run him in. "We'll remand this case for a day" remarked the Magistrate, "and in 'the meantime we will have a look at the port wine." The charge against another young fellow, who was drunk in a house was dismissed. CMBA. NOT MOVING Grand Secretary Behan States That Head Office Remains Here. J. J.
