There were several Kingston people aboard, all of whom escaped uninjured. speed with greater rapidity than or- dinarily, that the engineer discover- ed that the express car and six coaches had jumped the rails. According to reports the cause of the accident is thought to have been due to the tender of the engine fore- ing the switch at the crossing. The tender tore up the track for a short distance after the express car be- came detached. The express car was completely demolished, both sides of the car being reduced to kindling. Moorman, who a moment before had entered the coach from the baggage car, was hurled through the door. The express car landed in a field at the bottom of the embank- ment, and against it was piled the baggage car and a passenger coach. The engine, one coach and the par- lor car, remained on the tracks. Rescuing the passengers was the first thought of the train crew. Whan it was found the passengers had os- caped, save suffering slight abra- sions in a few cases, attention was turned to the injured members of the crew. Moorman was found un- cofiscious near where the express car landed; later he recovered con- sciousness before reaching the Gen- eral hospital at Belleville. Conduct- or Johmson is also in the hospital. The accident happened about 5.25 o'clock, just as the train was nearing Bydney crossing. The speed of the train at this point fortunately had "been materially reduced. Engineer Modland, Toronto, was at the throt- tle of the locomotive.

Capt. John Donnelly of the Don- nelly Salvage and Wrecking Com- pany, Ltd., returned to the city on 'Saturday morning from Montreal after completing the direction of the most hazardous and difficult salvage work in Canadian inland marine 'history--the release of the steamer Rapids Prince. Interviewed on Sat- urday morning, Capt. Donnelly thanked the Whig for its complete prasentatien of the despatches deal- ing with the salvage work and also expressed his satisfaction with the co-operation of his crews. Capt. Donnelly stated that the pulling machine had been dismant- led, was loaded on the steamer Frontenac and was expected to reach Kingston on Saturday night' The Rapids Prince was drydocked on Friday morning at the dock of the Montreal Drydock Company and will undergo a survey before tenders are called for repairs. The work was most hazardous throughout, but plans were carefully laid and through the loyal co-operation of the work- ers everything happened as planned without a hitch. The swiftness of the current, the inaccessibility of the place and the difficulty of gett- ing the cables aboard the boat rend- ered the task most perplexing. FINE TRIBUTES OF LAWYERS Are Paid to the Late John L. Whiting, Who Died on Friday. J. B. Walkem, K.C., when inter. viewed gave the following statement regarding the late John L. Whiting. "Perhaps I have known the late Mr. Whiting longer and more intim- ately than any other member of his profession in this city, His sudden death was a terrible shock'to me as we sat side by side in court as he looked at me with half closed eyes Iu the fatal attack that overtook him. "I wish to say a few words of him as a lawyer. He was in my opinion one of the safest and soundest in the province of Ontario. In consulting him, one was sure to get an opinion of the highest value both from the point of common sense. He was one of those who was able to see both sides of a case and dealing with it Lring a strong and careful judgment upon it even if it did not suit his client. ' I don't think it was in him to take a case unless he was sure it was a just one, and I am certain he was one who would not take a mean advantage of his adversary. He was true and just in all his dealings, and in my long and intimate acquaint- ance with him I never knew nim to do a mean act. I for one will feel iis loss greatly, as I trusted his Judg- ment in acting in my own. cases, and he was always ready and willing to assist any of his brother practition- ers when they consulted him. He Was a man of liberal views In all things, and he was ever ready w as- alst with his means and time any charitable or educational work. "1 still remember a remark made by my brother, the late Dr. Walkem, wheh speaking to me about him, and which I think is a fitting summary of his character as a lawyer: 'He was acute, learned and sensible'." Francis King, K.C., sald: "Every member of the legal profession in Kingstop has lost a friend fin Mr. Whiting, one who was universally admired and respected not only for his keen intellect and sound advice, bul also for the qualities that make a manlikeable among those to whom he is well known. Apart altogether from his legal attainments, he was widely read and a most engaging con- versationalist. I had 'talked with him for half an hour the day before hig death, and he was then quite his usual self and gave not the slightest sigu of failing health." George Smythe made this state- ment: men in the p be very kee to Austra-{h legal standpoint and from tHe stamas] @ recent onder of the Canadian Na- tional Railways, prohibiting the fur- ther consignment of beer over the company's lines, #s put into effect. The order states, according to G. M. Thomas, local agent for the C. N. R., that the railway company will not in future, transport any more beer over its lines. The edict is not a gov- ernment one, but purely a company order, ~ The chief brewer here to be affect: ed will be the Walkerville Brewery. E. C. Griggs, secretary of the brewing company, says he heard of the order only as a rumor. "We have not been definitely in- formed by the company that they will not accept shipments from us," stated Mr. Griggs, "but from what I have heard I feel sure that the order either has been, or will-be made."

British, Fr nh And ltalicn' Troops Will Guard the Neutral Frontier. London, Sept. 16.--The allies will stand together to resist any attempt by Mustapha Kemal Pasha to invade the neutral zone and seize Constan- tinople. This is the understanding in diplomatic quarters here today. Diplomatic officials, commenting on Kemal's statement that he in- tended to take Constantinople and that he would fight the British, ir necessary, declared this threat was not alarming in view of the solidar- ity of the allies on the absolute ne- cessity of maintaining freedom of the Losphorus and the Dardanelles. British Fleet to Act. London, Sept. 16.--The British capinet last night ordered the Medi- terranean fleet to prevent concentra- Town. -- New York, Sept. 16.--Mayor Hylan has been asked 'o fix the date for an annual night of play--'"one exciting night"---when New York's citizens may give themselves up to play and "forget for one night the most recent and least popular of our national re- forms." The request reached the mayor in the form of a petition signed by George Sirico, chairman of the Ital- ian branch of the associated commit tees formed to carry the idea into effect, "We believe," the petition stated, "that it would add materially to the pleasure, joy and happiness of the people of New York it your honor would set aside a night in the more serene season of the fall when all our citizens could give themselves up to galety." ----e Divorce Suit Against divorce on the ground of "extreme cruelty" will be instituted at once against William 8.

Troops of three of the powers will be included in this movement, but it was not revealed which nations will act, Fresumably British, Frenca and Italian troops will be ordered to the neutral frontier. -- More Murders by Turks. Loudon, Sept, 18.--A despatch from Constantinople States that it is reporied there that M. Lascaris, a leading Greek in Smyrna, has been murdered, The British battleship Iron Duke, which has reached the Dardanelles, reprits that an octogenarian Irish physician was among those killed in Smyrna. It is also reported that Greek Metropolitan Charysostom was Court-martialed and shot, It is as- serted that the archibishop was tor-. tured before being executed. itty, MOVEMENT OF GOLD. -- ' It Has Been Shipped to Canada Af. ter Long Absence.

TIRKEY AIMS T0 HOLD AREA WOR FROM GREECE Determination of the Victors Causes a Serious Problem For Europe. Is growing here that a Turkish peace can only be arranged in a large inter- national conference in which Russia, Rumania, Bulgaria and the other Balkan states participate. This im- pression is based in part upon the re- newed expression of Russia's attitude regarding the strains of the Darder- elles; as contained in her note ot pro- test against the allied action in Con- £tantinople, sent recently to Great Britain, in which she demands the question be settled primarily by the Powers that use the Dlack sea as an outlet to the ocean. The question whether Turkey shall be permitted to occupy Eastern Thrace at least is believed not io be considered vital here. In some quar- al announcement Was made today by the New York Trust Co., that it hai shipped $500,000 In gold coin to Canadian Bank of Commerce at Montreal. This shipment follows the recent strength. of Canadian ex- change and the fact that it had touched par, after long depreciation, as expressed in Premium, offered on dollars, amounting to as much as 13 per cent. at one time. The move- ment of gold to Canada is consider. ed particularly significant .at this time. ------ The Montreal Printers Not Yet on Strike -- Montreal, Sept. 16.--An made to the printers employed bLy the Montreal Gagette last night in response to their employees demand for a wage increase of $6 a week. The men have requested until Mon. day to consider the offer and have undertaken meanwhile to remain at work over the week-end.

The important problem it is conced- ed, is the settlement of the question Of the control of the straits, One fact is coming to be realized in London, namely, that the Turks have never changed their demands since the pubMeation of the national pact in 1919 and ratified at Sivas in Aug- ust of that year. Mustapha Kemal Pasha and his adherents in the na- tionalist movethent never wavered oven during the blackest days of de- feat when last year the Greeks were pushing towards Angora, They mala- tained they would live or die by the Pact, Now that the nationalists have won after three years of hardship and with many of their own people against them, it is not believed that they will surrender the fruits of their victory, Mustapha Kemal Pasha oa several occasions hag asserted in in- terviews that the European powers refused to realize the fact that the nationalists would never yield on es. sential points of the pact. The ques- tion of the straits, however, the na- tionallsts always regarded as a secondary one, which they were anx- fous to have settled fairly to the sat- isfaction of Russia, Rumania and ali concerned, The nationalists regard the straits as the source of many of the Turkish political troubles, and therefore would be glad if a satisfactory solu- tion, in which they could share, were reached.

D i Did Not Di . Arthar Ellis As It Never 16.--Failure to CAITY out the sentence of death upon Bemny Swim, murderer of Mrs, Olive Trenholme, owing to the ale leged dismissal of Arthur Ellis, wh for years past has performed the executions of the dominion and of the refusal of the sheriff of Woood= stock, N.B., to do the job, has again raised the Question of the exact stas man who chooses this vo cation in Canada. Sherife Foster, 'n & for a further re. pfieve, + deposed that Ellis had been dismissed by the dominion depart ment of justice. Having never hir- ed Mr. Ell, however, it was not in the jurisdiction of the federal auth- orities to fire him. The position of hangman from ancient times has been the prerogative of the sheriff. The sheriff 1s appointed and paid by the provincial government. Arthupy Ells has simply been the "lawful deputy or assistant" of the various sherifrs throughout Canada, who he has from time to time relieved of the unpleasant task. Whether his sale ary is met from a general fund cone tributed to by the sheriffs'of the dg. Mmonion or is provided for out of the contingent fund from the provinces appear to be a question of mystery, Certain it is that the justice departs ment here adheres strictly to the principle that everything relating to the carrying out of the law after a prisoner has been convicted and fn. er purely and solely for the provincial authoritias, One of the duties concerned with the disposition of one convicted of murder is to sea to it that the sen« tence 1s carried out. From time gone by, the sheriff has been regard. ed as public executioner, but he task he may turn over to his "lawfup deputy or ass Yn-8¥0R. as the sheriff is always a part of the some bre procession leading from the co demned cell to the gallows, and he it is who signs the disposition that the man has been hanged and ig dead.

Another schooner and swift power boat es. caped. ------ Tax Exemption on $1,600, Paris, Sept. 18.<--Finance Minister _ de Lasteyrie plans to Introduce a bill as soon 43 parliament re- assembles, increasing the amount of income exempt from taxation by 8,000 francs. This will make the fhcomes of Parisians exempt up to 8,000 francs, the minimum upon which the government deems it sible to live in the capital' at the present prices. ------------ BRITISH LABOR LEADER FOR GENERAL ELECTION 400 Endorsed Candidates In England--850 More Constit« uencies Being Prepared. -- London, Sept. 16.--Liscussing the rumors of the possibility of a gene eral election being held this autumn, 2nd the intentions of the labor party in connection therewith, Egerton Wake, the national agent of the party, interviewed by Reuter's agency sald the labor party and its eflated bodies had conserved their pol.tical funds, despite the economic pressure from the trade depression and was Teady for the election, whenever ft came.
