The city council on Monday even- Ing referred a petition against tha location of a Chinese laundry at 140 Division street, to the finance com- mittee, with the request that the city solicitor be asked tb provide a by-law_ in accordance with the auth- ority given in the statutes of 1922, to define a location where laundries may be installed, and that in the area, residential sections be exclud- ed ,as far as possible. Quite a large deputation of citiz- ens appeared before the council, in- cluding several ladles, and protested against the location of the laundry. Ambrose Shea spoke in their behalf and A, E. Day addressed the council on behalf of the owners of the pro- perty which has been rented for the laundry. The petitioners did not Chinamen to start a laundry in this | district, nor did they want any other objectionable business in this resi- dential part of the city. The rate- payers, Mr. Shea sald, were- quite within their rights in asking for There were many reasons for the petitioners taking objection and one could readily understand why citiz- ens would object to having'a Chinese laundry established next to their premises. For this reason, Mr. Shea asked that the council give the mat- ter "serious consideration." "You have the power to pass a by- law to restrict laundries in a certain section of the city," he added. "Such action has been taken in other cities and it seems extraordinary that ac- tion of this kind has not already been taken. wFrom time to time laundries have been located in resi- dential districts and they give the place a black eye." Becoming Business Section. A. E. Day stated that he appeared on behalf of Mrs. Kirkpatrick and Miss Arthurs, who owned the pro- perty to be leased to the Chinamen for the laundry. They had purchas- ed the property some time ago and had made improvements to it. Mr. Day stated that the section of the city referred to. was bécoming quite a business section and pointed out that in this district 'there were lo- cated a grocery store, drug store, millinery shop, real estate offica, barber shop and two garages. And there has not been one word of complaint about any of these places. | The complaint in this case appeared to have been solely because the per- sons taking over the business were Chinese. Surely the owners of the property had some rights in the matter. > In this case, the speaker stated that he happened to know where the complaint came from. The com- |plaint, he alleged, came from two other Chinamen in that district, who did nyt want to see the laundry lo- cated there. . Apparently a "little storm' had been created. Many in the neighborhocd had refused to sign the petition against the laun- dry, and they were good people too, and on the ground that the owners had a right to use their property in any reasonable way. He felt that it was a case of people 'crying before they are hurt." The Chinamen had expended con- siderable money and they intended to run a first class business. - James Keating, & member of the deputation, stated that it was not true that Chinamen had sta the lax in some cases and perhaps this | has been so in this case." After some further discussion the motion of Ald. O'Connor to Send ths | matter to the finance committee and | city solicitor 'was carried. | It was reported that a lkcegse for | one. year has already been givén for | the laundry complained of. "ONE EXCITING NIGHT", PICTURE AT GRAND A Splendid Griffith Production There for the Next Three Days. It is certainly a fine moving pic- ture play that is being presented at the Grand Opera House for the first four days of.this week and those who saw the opening BMhowing of it last night were delighted with it. In the first place it is a D. W. Griffiths production and that is saying that it must be good. What Griffiths turns out is always worth while seeing and AILY BRITISH WHIG PROBS:-- Wednesday, easterly winds with showers. EE [ "One Exciting Night" is no exception to the rule. There is a sweet and dainty love story as ever was filmed in this movie; there is mystery galore-- mystery until the audience sits breathless-- and then comes relief from the suspense in thédform of the most delightful and laughter-provok- ing comedy from Romeo Washing- ton a wonderful black-face character who finds himself torn. between love | of a dusty maid and fear of peering eyes and stealthy figures that greep in and out and are seen everywhere. In this picture Griffith has depart- ed entirely n the heavy and spec- tacular and gone in purely for aundi- ence entertainment in the way of love, laughter, misery and thrills, There are no great mob scenes--for which Griffith, be thanked--no masses of costumes nor backgrounds. Bit there is entertainment--a full two hours of it, and the"programme is a credit to the Grand Opera House.

' Montreal, April 15.--Justice Mac- lenan, in the Superior Court, has handed down judgment dismissing an action taken by the Keystone Transports, Limited, owners of the 8.8. Keynor, against the barge Bar- non L., to recover damages alleged to have been suffered in a collision between the two vessels, which oc- curred in the Welland canal about sixteen miles west of Buffalo, on June 30th, 1923. A counter-claim brought by the owners of the barge was allowed, with a reference to the deputy dis- trict registrar, with the assistance of merchants, to assess the ambunt of the damages sustained. Justice Maclennan, in his decision, declared that according to the opin- fon of the nautical assessors, Cap- tain J. O. Grey and Captain Neree Legault, who bad assisted the court, the master of the S.S. Keynor select- ed a place to meet the barge and the tug towing it, which was dangerous, and too close to the Airline Bridge. The master of the Keynor it was held, should either have stopped fur- ther down the canal, at a greater dis- tance from the bridge, which would have enabled the tug and tow to re- cover from.the sheer which all ves- historical | | ALL THIS WEEK A SPECIAL SELLING NewEaster Suits!! » Below we enumerate two special groups of Suits that are of exceptional value.

The matter had been the bridge and placed the bow of his vessel in the west draw, and waited there until the tug and tow had pass- ed. Then, by going asteftt a short distance, he could have passed safe- ly through the east draw, if he con- sidered the west draw. too narrow for his vessel. The master of the tug, said the judge, expected the Keynor to adopt this course, but instead of doing so, the master of the Keynor, contrary to the ordinary practice of seamen and good navigation, in the opinion of the assessors, and contrary to the usual practice in the canal, accord- Ing to the evidence of some of the witnesses, attempted to keep his ves- referred to the city solicitor for his opinion, with the opject that a by- law might be pr .
