PARADE ONLY OF MILTARY ARRANGED BY BRIG.- WILLIAMS, IS BEING GEN. Pont Barracks--The Civic Re- ception at Artillery Park. The civic committee for the re- ception of returning soldiers met in the mayor's office an Monday morning. Brig.-Gen. Williams, hav- ing returned from Ottawa, where he took' part in the reception to he Princess Pats., had some very valuable suggestions to offer. He sald that there would be a party of four officers and 135 other ranks of the 45th Battery arriving in the city on Wednesday, probably after- noon, and 'with them there will be 3 officers and 135 other ranks for Kingston. He said that the par- ade would be an. entirely military one, and that the public were ex- pected to line the route of march and to give the boys as warm a re- ception as, possible. The returning soldiers will de train at the Tete de Pont Barracks, and will form up in the square ,where the G.W.V.A band and returned soldiers in uniform will act as a guard of honor. There they will be given an address of welcome by the G.O.C. of the dis- trict and will be allowed to fall out for fifteen minutes in order to meet and talk with their relatives. Only relatives of the men actually re- turning will be admitted to the bar- racks. After the general's address of welcome the parade will move off, led by a mounted detachment of the R.C.H.A. They will be fol- lowed by the G.W.V.A. band, which will lead a body of all returned sol- diers in uniform. Then wi}l come the unit of honor, the 45th. Bat- tery, led by the R.C.H.A. band. That will complete the parade, as the general feels that it should be entirely military. Route of March. The route of march as proposed by him is by way of Ontario, Prin- cess, Barrie and Bagot streets to thé artillery park barracks, where the civic reception will take place. These recommendations of General Williams were adopted by the com-~ mittee: \ At the artillery park barracks the Salvation Army band and the school children of Kingston will be form- ed up to render a musical pro- gramme. A platform will be erect- ed, and speeches will be made by Mayor H. W,. Newman and ex-Mayor J. M. Hughes. W. F. Nickle, M.P., is coming to Kingston for the oecca- sion, and may also speak. As it was announced that no civilians will be allowed to travel on troop trains, the motion author izing a deputation to Montreal - to meet the unit was rescinded, and the reception committee will meet the train at the outer station.

STABBED CUARD "IND ESCAPED - Leo Rogers, a Young Penitentiary Convict, At Liberty An Hour, JOAN BERRIGAN WOUNDS IN STOMACH ARE OF A SERIOUS NATURE. -- Rogers Was Taken on J. G. Ettinger's Premises by George Laturney, Who Fired at Him With a Revolver, While delivering a "fake" note to John Berrigan, a guard who was on duty at the west gate, Leo Rogers, a twenty-three-year-old convict, made a murderous attack on the guard, be- tween two and three o'clock on Sat- urday afternoon, and succeeded in making his getaway, but was captur- ed and back in the Portsmouth peni- tentiary within an hour. The young convict struck the guard two or three blows on the head with a blece of iron. Convict and guard then éngaged in a lively "scrap," during which the young desperado stabbed 'the guard a couple of times in the stomach, and also slashed one of his thumbs. Berrigan is now in the Ho- tel Dieu, in a critical condition. Berrigan was left in an almost helpless condition as a result of the brutal attack, and we convict took to his heels. He was recaptured by George Laturney, employed in the office, at the penitenti- ary, at the point of a revolver, as he was leaving the home of J. G. Kt- tinger, at the corner of King street and Livingston avenue, where he had entered and made a request for mon- ey. The assault and escape caused a big sensation. The Wihig had gone to press when the news of the affair reached the city. warden's Delivered "Fake" Note, Leo Rogers, the young convict, who made the sensational escape, was sentenced at North Bay, eon June 11th, 1917, to serve a term of seven years, for robbery, He was employed in the prison kitchen. Between two and-three -o'elock-on Saturday after noon he started in to carry out a scheme for making his escape. Fix. ing up a "fake" note, for Berrigan, who he knew was doing duty at the west gate, he made his way there, and while Berrigan was looking over the note, the convict rapped the guard over the head two or three times with an iron plug, which he had evi- dently secured off one of the boiling pots in the kitchen. where he was employed. The guard was taken completely by surprise, and although stunned by the blows, he was not knocked out by any means, and suc- ceeded in grabbing hold of the econ- viet. Then followed a lively "serap" between the convict and the guard. in which the convict pulled a kmife, which he had stolen from. the prison kitchen, and attacked the guard, stabbing him twice in the stomach and also slashing one of his thumbs. As a result of this attack, the guard was compelled to give up his hold on the convict, and the latter took to his heels. Although suffering terribly from the stab wounds, Berrigan did not lose consciousness, and succeeded in summoning a messenger, who gave the alarm. The wounded guard was given first aid in the penitentiary hos- pital, and was then trushed to the Hotel Dieu. Search Tor Comvict. The alarm having been gived, a number of the prison guards and members of the staff started out in search of the missing convict. After making his dash out of gate, Rogers made for On-gwa-nada hospital, and succeeded in hiding himself in one of the outbuildings, remaining there a short time. 'He then boldly made his way 10 the home of J. G. Ettinger, principal of Victoria school, at the corner of King street and Livingston avenue, just about a stone's throw away, He picked up an axe near the back door, and walked into the house without ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Et- tinger and Miss Dupuis were in the house at the time. Mr. Ettinger was resting in an upstair room. Miss Du- puis was on the stairway and Mrs. Ettinger was in another part of the house, Carrying the axe in his hand, the convict made his way through the house and walked upstairs, and as he saw Miss Dupuis he said, "I am in great trouble. My mother is dying, and I want money." Although be asked for money, he 'did not any threats.
