For a moment he was speechless, He was carried ashore when the Vivia mada her moorings in the cove and first ald was administered.

HAS NORE ARMED SHPS THAN TREATY PERNTS Rush-Bagot Agreement Limits of 1817 Exceeded by the United States. Ottawa, July 14.--The Rush- Bag- ot treaty which Premier MacKenzie King has been to Washington with suggestions for revision and mould- ing into permanency is a hundred and five years old. In recent years it has been honored more in the breach than otherwise. The treaty, negotiated in 1817 between Richard Bush, United States Secretary of State and Charles Bagot, British Minister to Washington, limited the number of armed vessels on the lakes to one on each side of Lake Ontario, two on the Upper Lakes and one on Lake Champlain, none to exceed 100 tons or tarry arms heavier than an eighteen pounder. The United States at present has over a dozen ships in these waters and they are 'In mo way limited to the treaty provisions as to size or equipment.

They are used for the 'training of the naval militia of the States bordering on the Great Lakes. dhe 0 | | | | | | { | | | | | CANADA'S HANGMAN FIRED UPON IS UNDER ARREST He Is Charged With Aggravat- | ed Assault Upon His Wife at Montreal. | | July 14.--Arthur Ellis, Canada's official hangman, was ar- rested yesterday afternoon by As- sistant High Constable Dan Sullivan and B.

The little fellow had taken to the water without the knowledge of his parents, and there were few people nearby at the time of the accident. Getting beyond his depth, and becoming frightened, he would surely have gone under but for the prompt action of Miss Eva Outram, Peterboro, a university summer student, who went to his rescue and.brought him ashore. The youngster has been in tae habit of swimming at all hours of the day, in common with almost all other boys in the city, who dur- ing the present heat wave have spent considerable of each day in the cool waters of the harbor. On this oc- casion, none of the few comrades who were with him were strong swimmers, and there was a general panic when the Sharp boy got out too far and called for help. Miss Outram happened to be pass- ing at the time, and hearing the frantic calls, rushed to the side of the old wharf and without any hes!- tation jumped into the water and swam out to the frightened young- ster. Both arrived back on shore in quick time, and the lad was sent home to his parents a wiser, and ex- tremely grateful boy. The couragequs and ready act of Miss Outram is indeed worthy of high praise, and it is fortunate that she happened to be nearby at the time, or there would almost certain- ly have been another name added to the list of harbor fatalities.

A trav- eling salesman wagered him that he could not drive his big touring car down the steep incline that marks the pathway for pedestrians to the beach and, after turning around, negotiate the hill again.

New York, July 14.--The first of American technical men called to Ireland, George F. Nicholson, port engineer of Seattle, Wash., returned yesterday on the United States steam- ship President Adams. Mr, Nichol- eon has just finished a survey of Queenston and Cork harbors. "Ireland has the finest harbors in the world, and the Free State gov- ernment, which will have the diffi- culties smoothed out shortly, is go- ing to improve them. After my sur- vey, I estimated it would cost $8,- 000,000 to improve the two ports. Most of the money will be spent on Queenston, with a deeper and wider channel between the outer and inner harbors. Queenston will have a har- Lor comparable with any in the world, date docks and facilities. When the work is completed the Majestic can enter the harbor and tie up at a dock." When asked how he was selected for the job in Queenston, Mr. Nich- |olson said he made no bid for it, but | was told by the Irish they wanted the [latest equipment, and as the greater part of Seattle's harbor and docks were built in the last ten years, they knew it was the latest, and wanted even improvements on what Seattle kad to offer.

St. Catharines, July 14.--The ex- tremely low temperature of the waters of Lake Ontario on the south- ern shore during the last few days, which have been the hottest of the Summer, has caused considerable Speculation as to the cause. Another peculiarity is that during the morn- ing and early afternoon the water may be warm and comfortable, but suddenly it changes and becomes al- most Hke iced water, and bathers cannot stay in very long. It is be- lieved the wind drives in the cold water from out in the lake. With the dead fish nuisance and now the cold water visitation, it has been rather a backward season for bathing on this shore. Fortunately, the dead fish nuisance has about disappeared. ------ Many Rural Schools Have No Teachers S-- Ottawa, July 14.--A marked de- Crease in the number of trained teachers willing to accept positions in rural schools has resulted in an unusual situation in eastern Ontario schools. The vacancies occurring have placed the trustees in a peculiar posi- tion, as no allowance is made for in- crease in the initial ealary to tempt the city-trained girl to the work as country school mistress. The num- ber of vacancies up to the present this year is 103, as compared with ninety-five up to July 12th last year.

Washington, July 14.--The be- jaumbing effect of two great strikes | made itself felt on thé ¥hation's | transportation system to-day, ac- | cording to reports reaching Presid- {ent Harding. Trains in large numbers are being | withdrawn from service daily, the reports revealed.
