Three drunks formed the line up, two were remanded for a day in or- der that the magistrate could look into their cases and the other was | fined $10 and costs. One of the tipplers was not quite sober when giving his evidence and no doubt the day's remand will do him good.

MAY BUILD SEWERS TO EMPLOY MEN The Civic Authorities Have the Matter Undetr Consideration. The civic authorities are working an a plan which may give work to fifty men during the winter. If a scheme can be devised couple of séwers in the .outskirts of the city can be constructed during the winter, they will be undertaken. At present a sewer is being built in Raglan road, and the city engineer is putting men on in shifts so as to provide a little money for as many as possible. There would be little use opening the stone quarry for men to break stone during the win- ter, as they might not be able to make $1.50 a day -at piece work.

December 1th. at which time the Imperator was making a shade the betfer time. Both crews seemed to catch the racing fever simultan- eously, and the big liners surged ahead at top speed, for many hours keeping almost abreast. Temporary gains were made first by one and then by the other all that night and during the following day. Captain G. W. Melsom said that the Carmania did not get going at her top speed until after the stokers, who were in a frenzy of excitement, had dug their way through a large quantity of low grade American coal and began to fire the furnaces with | some high grade English coal which was mixed in the bunkers At 6 o'clock, December 7th., both vessels were tearing along like ex- | press trains, with the Carmania hanging on comfortably a few hun- | dred yards behind the Imperator. | Shortly afterwards they overhauled {the Nieuw Amsterdam, of the Hol- { land-American Line, from Rotter- | dam, Boulogne and Plymouth, and | the latter at once entered the race, and put forth every effort to stay with her speedy rival, Through the | night the three big boats plunged [through the darkness, Impérator first, | then the Nieuw Amsterdam and the { Carmania third.

Montreal, Dec. 22.--One of the most pathetic and tragic cases in the history of Canada was disclosed yes- terday afternoon before Justice Mac- | Lennan in the Superior Court when | the Corporation Agencies Limited, sued the Home Bank of Canada for | $209,028.12, representing alleged { defalcations of C. H. Cahan, Jr. K. C. ison of C. H. Cahan, K. C. the widely , known corporation lawyer. Mr. Cah- an, senior, the chief witness of the | afternoon, after giving evidence in |a courageous, frank and clear man- ner, broke down and wept when he told the court how he had trusted his boy with full power of attorney to, {transact his business during his fath- | er's absence, and how he had return- {ed home from abroad to find his trust | | betrayed, that his son had absconded | and the family fortune was a wreck. | "It was pretty hard," Mr, Cahan sob- | bed, "To come home and find that | almost the day after 1 had placed | this trust in_my boy, he began to! i pilfer my banking account to further | this personal greed and lavishness.' | | The legal issue is whether the bank | can be compelled to make good the sum of $209,028,12. Between March {1919 and - September of the same | year, it is charged that Cahan, junior, | as director of the Corporation Agen- i cles drew -nimety-six checks on the { corporation's account in the Merch- {ants Bank, deposited the proceeds to his personal account in the Home | Bank and later drew out the same for his personal use. R. F. Bowler, secretary-treasurer of the Corporat- | ion Agencies, who countersigned the ichecks, has also disappeared. The Corporation Agencies alleges that | the Home Bank did not take suffici- | | ent precautions, to which the bank | replies that Cahan, junior, had full: | power of attorney, and that he was a | | man of standing and substance in the | community. | Feit | | TORONTO POOL ROOMS , | RAIDED BY POLICE Who Arrest All Who Had Firearms or Who Looked Suspicious.

Until the luxury taxes were abhol- ished Saturday, Sir Henry Drayton asked deputations of merchants who wanted its removal: "What other tax | do you suggest to take its place?" All admitted the need of revenue, and in the latest meetings and re- presentations made it was stated that they would prefer a sales tax The Finance Department officials re- gard a turnover tax as difficult to collect, because so many small re- tail stores are run by men who do not keép books. It is thought, however, some al- ternative method of assessment, bas- | on. rental or value of property, might be adopted. however, that the loss of revenue from luxury taxes will be made up in part by extending the sales tax to some articles which it does not now | cover. In view of the fact that farmers throughout Canada have said that they would be willing to have land taxed in consideration of a reduc- tion in tariff taxatiean, it is believed that considerable atténtion has been given to the possibility of hav- ing a Federal super-tax collected by | (Canada. | municipalities throughout There is strong objection to this by | some members of the Government, | on the ground that it is encroaching on municipal preserves.

Officially there may be no announcement in the matter un= til the budget is delivered, but the view is openly expressed here t this will be the last year in which the tax will be payable. : The primary idea in imposing the tax was to divert to the public treas sury 'excess' profits. There were plenty of them in the piping prosper= {ity of the war, but in year now end- ing the average firm has not made more than ten per cent. to whichi amount there is exemption.
