TUESDAY, AUGUST zv, 1923. THE DAILY BRITISH AMUSEMENTS ee What the Press Agents Say About Coming Attractions At the Strand. Laughter. still rolled out of the Strand theatre last night from those who saw Thomas Meighan in "The Bachelor Daddy." To-night will be a splendid chance to see this great picture of the good luck star. "The Secret Four" is still running. Real Race Feature of Great Picture. 'When Ben Wilson, producer, was directing his latest special produc- tion, "Chain Lightning," starring Ann Little, it was necessary to stage part of the action on a race track, and he determined to keep up his reputation for accuracy and staged a real race with such success as may be judged by the reader who sees the picture at the Allen Theatre, com- meneing to-day. Miss Little is call- ed upon to take the place of the jockey and ride the race herself; and this she does, and let it here be re- corded to her credit, that she rides the race herself, it is no double. One of the most interesting fllms seen in a long time is the wonder of wonders film Radio which reveals pictorically the workings of science latest gift to the world. Johnny Hines in '""Torchy's Hold-up" com- pletes a hard-to-beat bill. 00D WORK OF CW.YA In Obtaining Pensions For Dis~ abled Men and Obtaining Employment. There was considerable discussion at the executive meeting of the lo- cal branch, Great War Veterans' Ast sociation on Monday evening, con- cerning the question of pensions and the system of medical boards, Sev- eral business matters were dealt with during the meeting, and a very encouraging report was received in regard to-the finances of the associa- tion. The local branch has obtained pen- sions for a number of disabled re- turned men through thelr endeavors in having medical boards of examin- ation appointed to look into the phy- sleal condition of the candidates. Many deserving cases have been brought to the notice of the asso- ciation officials, especially during the past few months, and in this way the returned men in question have re- ceived suitable pensions covering thelr individual disablement. Besides the relief work carried on by the association, assistance is giv- en to obtain employment, to recover claims for pay and pensions and oth- er vital matters; in fact the various branches of the G°'W.V.A. are ready to give help to returned men in any way that lies In their power. The association is really a big family of ex-soldiers, with mutual benefits to all regardless of class or creed. On Monday evening considerable enthusiasm was apparent concern- ing the big celebration of British War Veterans to be held in Water town, N.Y., on Saturday and Sunday, September 2nd and 3rd, to which the Kingston G.W.V.A. members have been cordially invited. A delegation composed of President Volume and several other members of the King- ston branch executive, together with many members, will probably go to the American city for one of the two days. The visit of the American vet- erank to this ¢ity on Dominion Day has not yet been forgotten by the Watertown association, and they in- tend to give the Kingstonians a roy- al welcome. The following executive members were present: Comrades Volume, Halliday, Bowker, Pearson, Fowler, .

Defeated Mallorytown in Baseball Match 8 to 2, An interesting baseball game was played on the Mallorytown diamond on Saturday afternoon last between teams representing Athens and Mal- lorytown, the Athenians walking off with the game by an 8 to 2 score. There was little choice between ithe playing of the respective teams {but many of the fans seemed fo think that the umpiring might have been better, which is quite the usaul thing for fans to think. In the sixth inning, with Mallory- | town batting, two out, and two on | bases, Murphy walloped the pill for what looked like a sure three-bag- ger into right fleld, just along the | foul line. Unfortunately for Malloty- | town, Umpire Lawson decided that {it was a foul, and Murphy missed tha {next strike, retiring the side. How- jever, in spite of the disputes, it is hoped that these teams will be seen in 'action again soon. The teams: Athens--Derbyshire, ss; K.

Magletrate Farrell had a two-hour session of the police court on Tues- day merning. Lee Kim, a chinaman who was ¢or- ralled with four other Celestidls two weeks ago, when the police raided his premises on Ontario street, was fined $600 and costa, with the option of ohe year in jail, for having opium in his possession. He pleaded guilty to' the charge. The four Chinamen held on a charge of balng frequentérs of the plade, were given their liberty. The raid, it will Be recalled, was made by Constables Timmerman, Fitzgerald and Lesslie Cl§tk, early in the morning of Aug. 14th. The police found a quantity of opium and smok- ing paraphernalia. A pipe was found hidden in a hole in a wall. One Celestial had a quantity of opium in his pocket, and another had some in his boot. The case proved a real Chinese pus zle {OF the court. Magistrate Farrell, with Crown Attorney J. I. Whiting, T. J. Rigney and C. M. Smith, and an interpreter, did their best to get at the real facts of the case, but it was some pussier. However, thé magis- | trate was satisfied that the Chinaman mentioned had opium, and, thafetore, imposed the heavy penalty. _ It came out in the evidenés shat! Les Kim dropped some of the opium | into the coat pocket of another Celes- tial when he heard the police conata« bles endeavoring to gét into his place. George Downey had two charges to tice. He was accused of deserting bis wite and family, also with "hav. ing liquor in ce private ng." The court reserv- ed decision on edch charge. The liquor charge was heard first, and the accuded, through his counsel, T. J. Rigney, pleaded "not gully." _ The charge is five years oid, as Downey has been away from Kings- ton for that length of time. The dats of the information was Jan. 15th, 1817. C. R, Webster conducted the prosecution and William McCammon, license inspector, gave evidence, He - ma -- tald that on the date in questicn, Downey had liquor shipped to him: Py express and that he had it deliv- ered to a barn on Queen strezt, used by the accused as 'a storage. Witness sald that he and the late Constable Samuel Arniél found the liquor hid- den under somé boards in the build- ing, and had the liquor seized, They followed the carter making the de- livery, The carter said that he had been | given orders to deliver it to Downey's home, and that Downey had not se- cured possession of the box before it had been nabbed by the officers. The carter declared that the lquor had not been concealed under some boards {n the barn, The magistrate reserved his deci- sion in the case. He said that he was convinced, following the evidence given, that Downey had no: been sup- porting his wife and family, but re- marked that it was just a question Whether he would impose a jail sen- téfice or give him a chance to work. #0 that his wife and family might be properly cared for, and for his rea- son enlarged the case till Friday, Mrs. Downey said she has ten chil- dren, the eldest twenty-two years of {age. Six of her children are quite small, She said her husband had left her Jan. 15th, 1917, and that for about a year he had sent her money, {but after this had neglected her, She had received $65 a month from the Mother's Allowance and had endea- vored to make ends meet, Downey said he had been working in a paper mill at Brownville, N.Y., and that he had been up againsnt i}, 'as the mill had to close down for lack of power, and he was unable to send money to his wife and family, He secured work now and again at odd _ jobs but no ;teady employment. Has had back .board to meet and also & doetor's bill 'o pay, and found It im- possible to send money home. He would have sent money If he cou.d.
