THE CASE WAS PROSECUTED BY THE HUMANE SOCIETY Police Magistrate Thought a Pair Were Trying to Put Up a Fake Story in Regard To Liquor--Must Tell or Go To Jail. William Praser, who resides at the upper end of Princess street pleaded 'guilty" in Police Court on Tuesday morning of unlawfully, wantonly cruelly, treating a horse in the stable and was taxed $25 and costs. The Human: Society brought the case 'in- to court, J. R. C. Dobbs of the Hu- mane Society was in court and was ready to produce evidence had the Accord- ing to the story of Mr. Dobbs reports { had been received about the condi- tion of the stable in which Fraser | kept the horses so the society had Police Constable Cotter make an in- vestigation. This showed that the stable was very unsanitary due to | no} being cleaned as well as being | very drafty. The horse was in very bad shape. Fraser was notified that unless conditions were improved in ten days action would be entered. At the end of ten days when inspected Dr. Nicholles found the horse was lead in the stall and the stable had | 10t been cleaned. Mrs. Hattie V. LeVeck, and a sol- dier named Tibbéts, found that it did not pay to tell a "fake" story to Po- lice Magistrate Farrell. Tibbets, ar- rested about a week ago on the charge of being under the influence of liquor, has been before the court three times during the week but still | failed to tell a story which satisfied | the court. The court is trying to find | out where he secured the liquor which got him intoxicated. At first | Tibbets said that it was lemon ex- tract. On Monday morning he sald that he got the liquor from a man J he did 'not know. On Tuesday morn- ing a soldier who had been drinking | | with him said that Tibbets gave him {a drink from a bottle which he pur- { chased from some man that he did | not know. Police Magistrate Farrell informed the accused that he did not accept | his story nd would imprison him for { three months or until such time that | he was w the liquor. Hattie LeVeck, on Monday, inform- | ed the court that she gat | ment did not have. any | the magistrate wh LTT an | was shawn | House, Monday afternoon and even- beef iron and wine, but her state- weighs ww 4 imposed a fine of ree months. $20 and costs or At the Grand. "The Great Shadow," the sensa- tional labor ar Great Britain, at the) Grand Opera ing. The central figure is Tyrone Power, the noted actor, in the cha- racter of labor leader. The plot, which contains all the elements of revolution, shows Bolshevist agents working to gain control of the labor unions and assume direction with a view to precipitating a bloody re- volution. But they are discovered and overcome in time to prevent a national calamity by the vigilance af the secret service. Here you see Russian Reds, agents of Lenine and Trotsky, working in the labor unions. The whole play is an admirable pre- sentation of the machinations qf the Bolsheyjsts, which have actually been going on in gil European countries, and the play is an education to the publie. Vice In addition to this great feature picture, "The Great Shadow," other very entertaining pictures are to be seen. But the Grand has a great treat for music lovers in Madame Loritta Beck, a grand opera singer, whose equal is seldom ever heard by a Kingston audience. Her voice possesses marvelous power : and sweetness. In purity of tone it is un- excelled. Madame Beck received her training in Boston, where she sang in Carmen in the Boston grand opera. She sang the 'Aria from Tann- hauser, by Wagner, and "Kiss Me Again" by Victor Herbert. Madame Beck made a distinct "hit," and was greeted with prolonged applause. Be- sides the beauty and brilliance of her 'voice, she possesses a most attract- ive appearance. As an encore she sang "By the Lakes of Minnetonka," by Lawrence, most effectively. She is ably assisted by Mr. Shea, special' orchestra conductor, ' Mr. Shea was director of the popular play, "Ben Hur," in 1917. This programme is to be seen at the Grand on Tuesday and Wednesday, matinee and even- ing. At Griffin's. EO COO William Farnum brings to his ad- miress the greatest charm of his art in the tenderest love play of his no- table career, "Heart Strings," which opened an engagement at Griffin's yesterday. Iln "Heart Strings," Wil- liam Farnum comes forward in the character of a genius of music whose great talents shine as a light in un- suited surroundings. A violinist of great skill and beauty in the execu- tion of his own compositions, he reaches the heights of fame only to sacrifice all. Love brings the sacrie fice. So, as, its appealing title indi- cates, "Heart Str * is a great hu- THE DAIL illing to tell where he got | ! sufficient army for his purpose, pro- poses to the president that the min- ing rights granted to an American ompany . be cancelled. Upon the resident's refusal to comply with | his request he causes his arrest dur- ing a review of the troops. This is { where American heroism aud re-| sourse come into the story. A wire- |. less messages is sent to the nearest { U.S. cruiser and aid is sent to the | mines that are being attacked, the | userper is killed and the rightful | president restored to power. All of | the scenes are most elaborate, mak- ing the picture one of the biggest | undertakings ever put on the screen. | Besides the action in the thrilling revolutionary pictures a most touch- ing love story, in which Norman Kerry is the hero, is unfolded. Ker- NE erican mining engineer, and Me makes a great hit in the piece, frius i trating the revolutionists in a start- | Hng manner. This play is accom- panied by a number of most enter taining and instructive pictures, | while the music rendered by the Strand orchestra is known through- out the city as being at all times most up-to-date and taken only from the greatest operas. 'Soldiers of Fortune" will be seen at the Strand on Tuesday and Wednesday, matinee | and evening, 1 Ems 0 he oro Kingston, March 30.--(To the Editor): We, the carters of the city, feel we have a grievance regarding the fixing of our tariff. We do not wish to blame the police commis- sioners, because we think they do | not know the real facts, nor has any one of them ever been in the business | as carter, i Kindly allow me to exepress some { facts Two years ago John Hughes, then mayor, was asked to help us, | and he took an interest in our work. We asked for ashes out of cellar at $1 a load; that was all right, for we | could get helpers at 25¢. and 35c. a load. That left us for our horse and cart and our own work, 75¢c and 65c. Now, the cost of living, as you know, has so increased the feed for our horses and the cost of repairs has almost doubled, we feel that we have reason for a just complaint | Our objective along this line is as { follows: Tarif to $1.25. Tariff Tariff Tariff No I. be changed from $1 No. II. remain as it is, No. III. remain as it is. ... | No. IV. remain as it is, .., No. V. be changed from 85c. | {to $1. Tariff No. VI. be changed from | 66c. to The. This would help to equalize the! matter and give us a fair living wage. As it is, we cannot make both ends meet. We are not asking for much, but the increase of a few cents on three out 'of the six rules, Then take the size of the load that you ask us to draw, and 1 think this is a matter for the Humane So- ciety--a yard and a half of earth. Do you realize what that would weigh for a poor cart horse to draw ? Over a ton, and then a cart box would not hold that amount, They are made to hold a™cuble yard and that was always "considered for years and years to be a load, even by railroad companies and on government works, Do you not think we have a fair reason for complaint in the interest of our poor dumb beast and our- selves ?
