At a publici meeting 'in Belleville | a resolution was adopted that a new public school be built in Coleman Ward this year, and the construction of a Collegiate Institute be begun not later than 1921. Nominate Labor Candidate, The Brockville Trades and Labor Council has nominated a candidate for a vacancy on ghe Public School On Wednesday last the Whig pub- lished a report that was current to the effect that bodies of prisoners who died in the Portsmouth peniten- tiary were sent to the wrong parties. THe report was as follows: "It is reported that by a serious mix-up at the~Portsmouth Peniten- tiary the bodies of deceased prison- ers that were ordered sent to their former homes for interment at the expense of their families were for- warded to the wrong parties. There was much surprise when a telegram was received from Gravenhurst in- forming them that the wrong body had been sent, But more unfortunate still was the fact that the right body could not be sent, as it had been dis- posed of for the purpose of anatomy study at a medical college, as requir, ed by the statute, when no relativ or friends claim the body of a de- ceased prisoner." The acting warden, H. C. Fatt, took strong exception to the report, stating that it was absolutely false and requesting that a denial be pub- lished and it appeared in Friday's is- sue as follows: ¥ ""H. C. Fatt, acting warden of the Portsmouth Penitentiary, states that the report of there being any mis- take in the shipment of bodies of de- ceased prisoners from that institu- tion was not correct. He says there was no mistake whatever on the part of the officials, "The report appears to have been the result of a statement that one body was not recognized by the fa- mily to whom it was sent.

Will Receive $050. In the list of salaries of Kingston school teachers published .in the Whig on Friday last it was stated that the salary of Miss Lillian Black, one of the Central school teachers, was $850.

Bdwards "that a goldier ;who returned to Canada 100 per cent. fit was 'not entitled to a $2,000 gratuity." He writes: Does Dr. Edwards believe that there are any who saw service in France who have come back 100 per cent. fit? I venture to say, as one who was there, that not a man who was in the thick of it came out as fit a man as when he went in. Kingston Mariners Appointed.

Mahoney, the steamer Rockferry; and Capt. William Liddell, the steamer James W. Follette. M. J. McFaul, of Deser- onto, will be engineer on the steam- er Follette, and C. D. Thurston, of Picton, "Will be engineer on the steamer John Rugee. of His Son -- Has the Whig is told that it was sent there only after being heid a propér length of time and being unclaimed." The facts in connection with this matter, which every citizen must re- cognize is one of very important pub- lic interest, do not prove that there was no ground for the report but, on the contrary, call in question the me- thods or practices carried out at that institution. : The following is a copy of a tele- gram to the Whig in connection with the shipment of one of the bodies; "Gravenhurst, March 12, 1920 "British, Whig, '"Kingston, "We cannot identify the body as that of Finlay Stoneham, wb "(Sgd) J. A. STONEHAM." This telegram was followed by a letter giving particulars and here the question might be asked, "What is the practise followed, in Ports- mouth penitentidry when"a prisoner takes sick? Are hid friends notified of his condition and given an oppor- tunity to visit him? Surely when al. bill of over '$200 is run up against innocent parties it would not have been too much trouble to have writ- tendn time for them to visit a dying prisoner. Does the expense incurred in this case suppori. the assumption that the innocent hives were in- different to the eitent that they would not have come to the peniten- tiary, in which case they would at least have had the opportunity to es- tablish identity? Should the relatives of a prisoner be exposed to the per- tration of a heartless error simply ause some weak one in the family hag-made istake? These are ques- tions that m obvious to us, apart altogether from. the methods of treating the sick and the care exer- cised in seeing that the right body was sent. The question arises, were the penitentiary officials themselves satisfied réspecting the identity of the three bodies that had been dis- posed of? If they were, why were two officials sent out to St. Mary's Ceméfery on March 12th where they vault opened for the exami- dark complexion, black hair and black moustache, a large head and not as tall as Finley. I have a son, Edward Stoneham, who "resembles Finley so much that they were often taken for one another. I am very sorry that the mistake was made, as the body sent cannot be recog- nized as Finley Stoneham's body; neither could anyone that saw the corpse recognize it, They all say it is not that of Finley Stoneham, for they all knew Finley well. "What are you going to do about it? I want to know. The officials wired us that Finley was dead and asked if we claimed the remains. We wired back the same day to ship the body at once. This was on Feb. 23rd, 1920. The man's name that sent the telegram was H. C. Fatt. We did not receive any reply, so we had te call up on the telephone to find whether the body was shipped, The answer came, 'Do you want the body ?' and we said' Yes, at once.) They said that they would have to get an un- dertaker to ship the body,and as soon as shipped, would let us know. We got word all right, but the body did not arrive here until the 25th of February, 1920, and would not then if we had not phomed to four or five places before we got a 8 "cf the body. Thi» made a lot of ex: pense. They also said that the coffin that the body would be sent in might not suit us,and we made all prepara- tions for the same. "I will give you the expense that they put us to. We would not mind it so much if they had shipped the right body.
