Story of the Escape. | Following the session of the Po- | lice Court om Thursday morning, Lett was given over into the custody of Detective Thomas Maullinger, for removal to the jail. Detective Mul- linger's car was standing at the po- lice station door," so his auto was used for the trip to the jail. Jailer Joseph Hawkey happened to be at the police station at the time, and he accompanied Detective Mullinger. The latter drove the car, Jailer Haw- key sitting with him jn the front seat, while the prisoner who was not handcuffed, was re fn the back any trouble following . his arrest, and all went well on tHe trip to the jail, until the car was gbout to turn into the jail yard, leading from West street. At this point, Lett jumped out of the car and the only warn- ing the officers had that their man had escaped, was the slamming of the car door. "He's gone," called oug Jailer Hawkey. Detective Mullinger stop- ped his car as speedily as possible, but before the two could get out of the car, Lett had made his way across West street, jumped over a fence, and made his escape. The of- ficers gave chase, but Lett managed to give them the slip. This all hap- pened between 10.30 and 11 o'clock, and the fact that a Ford touring car belong to Col. C. F. Constantine was stolen from in front of the Y.W.C.A. a short time later, led the police to believe that this car was taken by Lett to leave the city. Lett had a Ford touring car of his own, and was used to driving it. Lett is thirty-seven years of age, quite tall, being five feet eleven and a half inches in height. He has quite a bushy head of hair, with some of A GIFT Of Beauty and Usefulness is a Folding Desk or Travelling Clock These Clocks are Swiss made, run for § days, have luminous dials and hands and are cased in Blue, Rose, Green, Grey and Brown Leather or Antique Brass.

At the time of his escape, he was wearing a dark overcoat, blue suit of clothes and a dark fedora hat. Secured An Auto. After jumping the fence on West street, and working his way on to Sydenham street, it is believed that Lett walked along Sydenham street to Johnson, and then walked up Johnson street and then got into an auto standing in front of the Y. W, C. A. at the corner of Johnson and Clergy streets, and made off. The Ford touring car, which was stolen had an Ontario license No. 240-167. . | It was learned on Friday morn- ing, that Lett could, have paid the fines imposed upon him for having liquor in his car, and for speeding, but had not produced the money owing to the fact that he was being detained on an additional charge, of violating his parole. If the third charge had not been laid against him, he would have covered his fines and would have been a free man. Had License Cancelled. In addition to being fined $15 and costs, for speeding on the high- way, Lett also had his license for driving the car cancelled for a week. The car is now in the pos- session of the police. Although the police have been working hard on the case and have been in communication with all the outside centres, no word of the miss- ing man or the stolen car had been reccived at headquarters up till I'ri- day afternoon. AN EXCELLENT BILL AT GRAND THEATRE Vaudeville Acts and Bebe Daniels Picture Please a Large Audience. The best vaudeville and picture programme to be secured by the {management of the Grand Theatre {since the vaudeville and picture pol- fcy was adopted some four or five weeks ago, was presented to the audience at the Grand Theatre on Thursday night. .Manager Smithies has secured a snappier brand of vaudeville for his patrons at the Grand and the re- sult is very noticeable. Last night four splendid acts were presentéd. The first act consisted of scenic drawing. Scenes of Spain, the Riv- er Shannon, drawings from a living model and an exceptionally clever Canadian scene pleased the audi- ence. A singing and dancing act and an exceptionally clever juggling act were also presented, but the feature act of 'the show was a cleverly pre- sented ventriloquist act. There are many novelties brought into play in this. The feature picture, starring Bebe Daniels in "The Manicure Girl," is a delightful story of a love tangle in which many complicated situations are presented. m The programme as presented last night will be seen at the Grand to- night and to-morrow.

Ottawa, Nov. 13.--At the con- clusion of the only cabinet meeting held this week, Premier King said to a group of newspaper men last evening that he had no develop- ments to announce. The meeting was attended by nearly all the cabinet ministers including those whose resignation will be made shortly. The defeated ministers holding portfolios--Hon. George Gordon, Hon. James Murdock and Hon. T. A. Low, will continue to administer the business of their departments for several days before leaving their of- fices to the other members of the cabinet who will carry on as acting minister. General interest centres about the probable length of the session. The prevailing opinion is that Parliament will sit for a week or ten days after the opening about December 10th, and then adjourn for three weeks or a month over the Christmas and New Year holidays. It is presumed that the first week of the session will bring some alignment of the parties which wil indicate the tenor of the 15th Parlia- ment. STILL ALBERTAN PREMIER. Greenfield Denies Report of His Resignation. Edmonton, Nov. 13.--"I have not resigned," Premier Greenfield, faced this morning with a sheaf of tele- grams from all over Canada, asking for a check-up on a.story which burned the wires all across the coun- try Wednesday night saying that his resignation was in the hands of his supporters, simply gave the above four words in reply. He was pressed hard for some fur- ther statement. Had he been asked by a majority of the farmer members to resign? Would he say that he would still be premier a week from now? But to all such 'leading ques- tions," Premier Greenfield turned a deaf ear. He has not resigned -- and he is still Premier of Alberta. Girls and Boys Compete. Montreal, Nov, 13.---8ix girls will be included in the sixteen youthful contestants who are to meet next week at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair at Toronto in order to determine the winners of an inter- provincial championship established by the Canadian National Railways, in order to encourage the work"of the boys and girls swine clubs and the rafsing of Select®¥bacost hogs:in territory tributary to their limes. The six young misses are those who won the provincial championships of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Manitoba. In the other five prov- inces competing, boys were winners. Auto as Hitching Post. The day of the' hitching post on the street has passed, but a man has to find some place to tie up his horse wheén he comes to town. A county resident solved the problem in a novel way on Friday morning, when he tethered Old Dobbin to the wheel of a Ford automobile which was parked on Market street. The auto- mobile may be supplanting the horse, but Dobbin still occasionally puts one over on the horseless carriage. [LUCKINS LOOK! Western Roasts-- pound .... 1llic Pork Roasts-- pound ...... 18ec.
