ACCUSED WAS VERY SORRY SO WAS THE MAGISTRATE WHEN HE IMPOSED $200 FINE, Two Junk Dealers Were Summoned For Vielating the Regulations of the Board of Health--One Case Was Laid Over a Week. "I'm very sorry," said David O'- Connell, when pleading guilty in the Police Court on Friday morning, to a charge of being intoxicated in a public place. "I'm sorry too," said Magistrate Farrell, as he imposed a fine of $200 and costs, with the option of three months. A further enlargement for a week was made in the case of Karl Gold- man, who was up a week ago, for having his premises in an unsanitary condition as a result of keeping chickens. Inspector Timmerman re- ported 'progress' in the case. The charge against A. Spizeman was 'that he was guilty of an infrac- tion of the rules and regulations of the Board of Health in that he dump- ed rags, bones and iron on his prem- ises at Division street, without first securing the permission of the Board of Health. A. B. Cunningham, who appeared for the accused, said that he had written a letter -to the Board of Health asking for the necessary per- mission for Spizeman. This was on Aug. 23rd last, but as yet he had not received any reply. "The Board of Health took no ac- tion," remarked Inspector Timmer- man, but later it developed that the inspector was not present at the meeting, when the matter was dis- cussed. He said he had been in- formed by the Medical Health Offi- cer. The magistrate put the case over a wek so as to get the necessary Max Rosen was also up on a simi- lar charge and through Mr, Cunning- ham pleaded guilty. Counsel pointed but that the accused was ignorant of the law. QUEEN'S ALUMNI 10OONFERENCE The Final Evening Address by Prof. 0. D, Skelton.' The final evening address of Queen's Theological Alumni Confer- ence was given. on Thursday night in Convocation Hall to a lange aud- ience by Prof. O., D. Skelton of the department of political science, ' The guestion of state socialism af- ter the war and of present tenden- cies were brilliantly discussed by Prof. Skelton and from the ' know- ledge he has gained from many years of study of this particular phase he was able to define as far as possible what would happen along these lines in the future. It was a very able address and showed that while there had been a more widespread promulgation of socialistic thought and doctrine since the war had stant- ed, the formation of definite socialist parties had been less widespread. Rev. Prof. EB, F. Scott and Prof. A. 8S. Ferguson took part in the dis- cussion after the address.
