Word was re- ceived from the Playfair Steamship Company that none of their boats would be quartered here this sea- son. There are now sixteen large steam- ers quartered in the harbor for the winter. Eleven of these are at the Causeway, and there are eight more expected within a week. They are the steamers Saskatoon, Darymple, | Wiarton, Cedarton, Birchton and | three of the Bay Line. | Mr. B. Davy, superintendent of 'the Causeway, stated that there were {only sixteen boats quartered at the | Causeway last sedson, and that thers will be at least nineteen this year, Including the local steamers, and vessels expected, there will he about thirty-five steamers here for the win- ter. This number ig more than that of lust season, and the work on the boats should certainly relieve the employment situation. -------- COAL CONCILIATION STILL POSSIBILITY ------ Operators' Head Does Not Be lieve Door to Negotiation Has Been Olosed. Philadelphia, Dec. 2.--~Major W. Inglis, chairman of the anthracite operators' wage committee, does not believe the "doar to a resumption of negotiations" has been closed by the action of the mine owners in reject- ing the peace proposals of Governor Pinchot which had been accepted by the United Mine Workers. In dis- cussing yesterday the breach by the operators, he pointed to the offer set forth two weeks ago by the mine owners and rejected by President John L. Léwis of the union. Major Inglis thought the operators' pro- PosAl might serve as a basis for tak. ing up anew the differences which have kept the miners idle three months. Close observers of the situation profess to see some progress in the controversy. The contendifig forces now have hefore them Mr. Lewis' "clarifying restatement" of the miners' position issued two weeks ago, the proposals of the governor and the plan recently submitted by the operators to Mr. Lewis. Out of these it is felt id some quarters that a plan satisfactory to both sides might be worked out if means could be found-to bring the negotiators around a conference table. ---------------- HOTEL DIEU NEW ELEVATOR ht A Modern Safety Push Button Syst tem Is Installed, A new elevator, costing a consid- erable sum of money, las been com- plefed In the Hots!

Mr. Nickle said that his: client denied that Melvor's memoranda book was correct. Mr. Nickle asked Mr. Muir if he could explain how he placed interest for the 1920 roll at $181.36 and the provincial auditor placed it at $1,- 190.20. Mr. Nickle said he was instructed that atherland never saw the 19282- roll or discussed the mat- ter wit r. Muir. He asked Mr. Muir if he would swear that Leath- erland admitted owing anything with regard to the 1922 and 1923 roll. Mr. Muir replied that Mr. Leather- land would mot go into detail on anything. Mr. Nickle referred to the state- ment made by Mr. Muir that Mr. Leatherland admitted being short $6,100. Mr. Nickle said he.was in- structed that Mr. Leatherland had said he paid out money he had no receipts for to the amount of $6,- 100. Mr. Muir said that Mr. Leath- erland had not gone into all these | details. Mr. Nickle asked if Reeve Graham cere in making the state- ment that his record for the past three years has been most satisfactory and urging him become a Candidate, has acceded to their request and respectfully solicits the influence and vote of Kingston citizens and vot- ers for his re-election. to again Nt, Alderman F. J. O'CONNOR had said he would make a Peter Smith out of Leatherland. Mr. Muir said he did not hear the statement. ---- Never Thréatened. Mr. Nickle asked Mr. Muir if he ever threatened Mr. Leatherland wit. prose¢ution unless he helped straighten out the books. Mr. Muir sald he had once told Mr. Leather- land that if he dids't give more in- formation he would get into trouble. Mr. Nickle said he was told that much of the information was given to Mr. Muir by Mr. Murray, auction- eer on- Market street. Mr. Muir said it was the first time he had heard of fit. Mr. Nickle asked if Mr. Muir [thought he was playing the game svhen he got Mr, atherland to sign a statement when he (Mr. Nickle) was mot present. Mr. Nickle sald he was instructed that the statemsat was not read over to Mr. Leatherland, and that the signature to the statement was ob- tained by trickery, Mr. Muir declar- ed it was a lle. Mr. Nickle asked who would have been responsible for what Leather- accepted Melvor's memorandum book. Mr. Muir sald the books were im such a bad condition that it was hard to make anything out of them. He asked it Mr. MclIvor would not be short. Mr. Mui¥said no, be- cause Mclvor had produced receipts from the bank showing the money land wag charged with if Leather | Comm land had not signed a statement or - Mayor for the year 1926 TO THE ELECTORS - ---- At the solicitation of a large num- ber of ratepayers,.I have consented to accept the nomination for Public Utilities Commission.

NEWMAN had been deposited. Mr. Nickle said 'Mr. Muir took the total of the tax rolls of 1919 and deducted the money showy on the books and charged Leatherland with the theft of the balance. Mr. Muir said this was correct because the money had been deposited in the bank. ; Mr. Nickle asked why not.take money paid on taxes and money ac- counted for by Leatherland, and then see if there was a shortage, Mr. Muir replied that Mr. Leatherland had admitted Mclvor's cash book Whs correct. Mr. Muir sald Leatherland's cash book was a copy of the bank pass book. Within a few hundreds, Mr. Muir admitted, Ledtherland's cash book tallied with the bank book. Mr. Nickle asked how much mon- ey was shown In Leatherland's cash baok received on the 1919 roll. Mr. Muir replied that he was not able to find that from the records. Mr. Nickle asked this was so, how they saddled the responsibility for a shottags for 1919 on Lesther- land. Mr. Muir said he had the group, 1919-1920. / Mr. Nickle asked Mr. Mufr it he could show a shortage from Leather land's own books. Mr, Muir sald Leatherland's book was not wort the paper in them. Mr. Nickle asked for the actual amount that Mr. Leatherland was short in 1919 and 1920, according to his own records. Mr, Muir said he could not tell.
