The Picture your wait ing to see-- "ST. ELMO" LAST EDITION. -- ARE BETTER LEFT VAGUE Irish View of Relations of British Dominions. RELA) AT CONFERENCE The Problem of Unemploy- ment To Be One Requir- ing Attention. Dublin, Oct. 2, -- The participa- don of the Irish Free State In the British Imperial Conference at Lon- don, it is felt here, will bave a direct bearing on immediate Irish interests, and the attityde to be adopted by the Irish delegation has been ex- haustively discussed at the cabinet eonference here. Joseph McGrath, minister of com- merce, was unexpectedly selected to sccompany President Cosgrave, and this is taken as an indication that the problem of unemployment will be one of those to occupy the atten- tion of the conference. Questions of the political rela- tions of the dominions to the Imper- ial government will not, it is believ- ed here, be raised. Irish opinion holds that the independence of thé various members of the British com- monwealth will be greater if these relations are left vague. T0 STAND TRIAL ON * CHARGE OF NEGLIGENCE Case Against William Mc- liquham, Following the Fatal Auto Accident. Magistrate Farrell, on Tuesday morning, committed William Mecll- qubham, a local taxi driver, to stand his trial on a charge of criminal negligence. The charge arose over an accident which occurred at t corner of Montreal and streets, on Sept. 10th, when, Alfred Wart, who was riding on a bicycle, collided with the auto driven by Mc- liqubam. The evidence of four witnesses was taken, after which the magis- trate sent the case on for trial, but in doing so remarked that he did not think the evidence against the accused was very strong. The witnesses called included Police 4@ergt. Marshall Armstrong, Mrs. leen Robertson, Mrs. Edith Campbell, and Mrs. Florence Varley, Belleville. Crown Attorney T.-J. Rigney conducted the prosecution and A. E. Day appeared for Mcll- qubam. Mrs. Varley was one of the occu- pants of Mcllquham"s car and gave it as her opinion that the car at the time of the accident was not travel- Jlog more than ten or twelve milas an hour, although to Mr. Rigney she admitted that she did not hear the brakes applied. Mrs. Robertson said that Mr. Wart turned the corner of Montreal and Stephen streets on the wrong side of the road. She thought that he would turn on his right side. Wit- ness feit that there would be an ac- cident if he did not turn to the right side. Mrs. Edith Campbell did not wit- ness the accident, but was the first to reach Mr. Want after he had been knocked: off his bicycle. Witness was. in conversation with Mcllquham and the latter told her he was not going more than fifteen or twenty wilés an hour. ------------------ Indications at head of lakes show that Canadian boats, with what United States tonnage is offering, can handle flow of grain.

S--- NINE MONTHS IN JAIL FOR GIVING BAD OREQUE William MoEschern Pleads Quilty to Getting Motor Car by Fraud. Pleading guilty to a charge - of securing an automobilé under false pretences, Wiliam McEachern was on Tuesday morning sentenced by Magistrate Farrell to. nine months in jail. McEachern secured the autonfSbile from George Palmer and gave a cheque in payment, but it was found that he had no funds in the bank. After securing the car he went to the local issuer of auto licenses a= secured a license, issuing another cheque flor which there were no funds. After getting his car and the license, McEachern started out for Toronto, but he did not get very far before the Kingston police got on his trail. His movements were trac- ed to Gananoque and later on, Bélle- ville, and as it was thought that he was heading for Toronto, the police in the latter city were notified to be on the lookout for the accused, with the result that ha and his car were soon '"spoffed." McEachern was taken into custody and Constable Lesslie Clark went ip from Kingston and brought him back to Kingston. Arraigned in the police court, Mc- Fachern had nothing to say outside of pleading gwilty when the charge was read to him. He was attired in a military uniform when rounded up. An officer, wito was in the court-room stated that he had signed up about a month ago, but that the military aa- thorities did not know anything about him.

The October general. meeting of the Kingston branch, Great War Vet- erans' Association, was held on Mon- day evening, with a good attendance of the members. Many important matters were considered by the meet- ing and judging from the enthusiasm displayed in the inner machinery of the organization the local G.W.V.A. is headed for a long period of opti- mism and continual growth. A num- ber of applications for membership 'were received and accepted. Considerable discussion took place with régard to the proposed donation of the G.W.V.A. band instruments to the warden of the penitentiary in trust for the inmates of that institu- tion. A recent plea for these instru- ments was set forth by a member of the association, who is now an em- ployee of the prison, and it was ex- plained that the inmates were hop- ing to organize a band to assist in the religious services in the institution and also for the benefit of any con- certs organized for the benefit and entertainment of the prisoners. It was felt by the large majority of the members present that the wel- fare and needs of the unfortunate men behind thé grey walls of the Portsmouth prison were entitled to real consideration and it was finally decided, by an unanimous vote, that the instruments be donated to the inmates for their permanent usé, Several Questions affecting the in- terior economy 'and improvements of the recreation rooms of the organiza- tion were also considered and many confirmed the judgment for §i,500 damages for libel awarded by Justice Lennox aad a jury. The suit arose over the indiscreet wording of an advertitement, the outcome, Justice Lennox remarked, of the desire of some people to be exceedingly witty. The advertise- ment, it is alleged, was clipped from some ready-made advertising, ana was used in the Hamilton newepap- ers. The result was that Miss Gar- land had to put up with so much ridicule that she could not stand it and resigned her position. The advertisement read: When you're told to go into a department store to match some ribbon, don't feel so abused that you feel justified in flirting with the blonde behind the glove counter to cheer yourself up, REVISION OF PUBL SCHOOL CURRICULUM Departmental Officers' Working Out a New Plan.

Vienna, Oct. 2.--The many fron- «ders of central Europe are a great help to criminals, and much of the recent increase in a certain type of crime in this part of the world is laid to the ease with which a fore- handed offender can skin into an- other country and claim sanctuary. This aspect of things has been brought out clearly at the Interna- tional Police Congress that has just come to an end in Vienna. It would appear that defraudationd, forgeries. embezzlements and thefts are com- mitted with relative immunity, grant- ed the criminal has a vised passport in his pocket, and gets a start of a few hours on the police.

In independent state- | ments, Premier Ferguson and At- torney-General Nickle announced | the government's intention to take | drastic action if there is intimation in the report that criminal proceed- | ings are warranted. | An arrest and|trial in connection | with the case would, of course, have | much the same effect as a formal in-| quiry in getting the facts before the | public, and this the provincial auth- orities are said t- desire. "If the curator's report shows that there is anything needed in the way of criminal prosecution," stated the premier, "the government will act very quickly in effecting arrests and instituting criminal proceed- ings."

ANOTHER CALL FOR RELIEF FOR JAPAN Kingston Red Cross Society Doing Its "Bit" to Help Sufferers. Japan is sadly in need of relief, following the terrible catastrophe of a few weeks ago, and for this reason the Red Cross Society is putting forth a strong appeal for funds. The Kingston branch of the Red Cross Society has made a grant of $200 and bas asked the citizens to give liberally. The money collected by the Red Cross Society is to be devot- ed to work along first ald methods and as there is such a pressing need for this kind of work, citizens can realize the great need for money. Earthquakes, conflagrations, floods tidal waves, volcanic eruptions, ship- wrecks, collisions of railway trains, and such disasters are occasions when first aid is needed. In order to carry out this kind of service promptly and efficiently, arrange- ments have been made to have the Red Cross branches kept in touch with the governors, at whose request, or with whose permission, relief units attached to the local branches can act immediately. The number of sufferers heretofore relieved in this way is very large.

Criminality has assumed vast pro- portions since the close of the war. Vienna is on the crossroads leading to many countries, and has become the sporting ground of innumerable bands of International thieves and adventurers. Many existing formalities must be swept aside before the pelice can even hope successfully to cope with their astute opponents.
