Griggs, so it is understood, was re "cently arrested in New York State, and is now at Auburn, N.Y., prison. He was sentenced in Toronto, by Magistrate Kingsford on May 17th, 1918, to three years, on a charge of housebreaking and theft. At the time of sentence he was only seventeen years old. He had but a few months to serve when he made his escape. His occupation was that of an auto mechanic and consequently he was familiar with the operation of the warden's automobile. Another convict was also arralgn- ed before the magistrate. William*Du Charme admitted that on November 16th last, while out on parole. he had committed theft, thereby violating his parole. The magistrate made an order for him to do the balance of his term of five years and six months. MARGARET ANGLIN IS SEVERELY INJURED Thrown From a Chariot on the Stage In New York.

FURTHER DISORDERS AT THE COAL MINES Acute Distress Felt in Several Districts--S8alvation Army Distributes Food. London, April 11,--Further disor- ders were reported to the authorities Saturday from districts where the coal miners are on strike. In Wales, there were many cases of looting. In one instance, a coal train was held up and a large quan- tity of the fuel taken. Raiders are al- so killing sheep pasturing in the billy, regions. Bill boards, trees, fen- ces and other fixtures of wood have been taken for fuel.

Sir Richard Turner has just returned from a visit to the Bahamas and West Indies, and urges the stimula- tion of Canadian trade with the is- lands, which, he says will be made possible by the service provided by the Canadian government merchant marine.

T. W. Savary, speak- ing on the Referendum, at St. James' church, on Sunday night. "The person voting should do what he thinks will be best for the country," he said. Rev, Mr. Savary, during the course of his remarks, stated that it was not for him to condemn men who drank with moderation, but he held that the state had a right to stop the impor- tation of intoxicating liquor if it was considered in the best interests of the people. During the war, the state decided that the country must be at the top notch of its efficiency, and had decided to curtail the sdle of liquor. The state had the right to prohibit the sale of liquor as it had the right to prevent other things. The speaker stated that while there were some Anglican bishops opposed to prohibition, a resolution had been passed at the Lambeth conference, commending it for the sympathatic attention of the Christian people, One argument which had bgen put forth was to the effect that prohibi- tion would result in a great increase o in the traffic in drugs, but he point- ad out that the increase in the use of drugs had commenced before pro- hibition came into effect, and the big increase was shown in Quebec, where there was the least prohibition. At Cooke's Church, Speaking on prohibition in Cooke's Presbyterian church on Sunday even- ing. Rev. W. Taylor Dale ee ed Ontario upon the growing ance sentiment in spite of the aifi- culties 'of enforcing thy taws, Drunk- enness was well-nigh driven from the streets and most cities are safer. He supported his statement by quota- Uons of figures dealing with convic- | | tions for drunkenness, and showing decreases during the operation of the O.T.A. In Kingston the figures of the police commission showed a marked decrease since the O.T.A. came into force in 1916, and when the order- in-council was repealed and importa- tion was allowed, there was a notice- able increase in the number of con- victions. He also quoted from the statements of the license commission- ers' report giving the number of eon- victions in the whole province, The total for the four years prior to the adoption of the act was just double those of the four years following the introduction of it. Whatever views people might have regarding govern- ment control, this was not the ques- tion put to the people at the present time. The issue, to his mind, was perfectly clear. The man with a number of growing boys will hesi- tate before he gives his vote to any- thing, which, while some may use it in moderation, has become ons of the greatest menaces to civil:zation. Mr. Dale answered several questions a8 to the use of drugs, and also that people must have liquor of some kind. Some people seem more concernad with the liberty of the habitual drunkard than the safety of growing- up boys and girls. In this compli- cated civilization, the hand guiding. to-day's affairs must be controlled by a clear brain. : ------ At' Chalmers Church. On Sunday morning Rev. Dr. R. J.
