A despatch 'from "Toronto. ays Ofie" er received injuries from which he died a few hours later, a score were mote or-léss seriously in- jured on Friday evening when a trail- er jumped the tracks on the Gerrard roe bridge over the Don and crash- ed into a street car going in the op- posite direction. The dead man is John Evans, jun. aged about 39, of 229 Langley avenue. The accident occurred about 526 and the trailer 'was packed with the rush-hour crowd. It was attached to an east-hound Queen car. The two cars were proceeding at a smart rate, when the trailer left the rails, bumped along a few yards, tore the ssuplinge loose and then collided sion' amid crashing glass and wood- work, Ambulances were hurriedly sum- moned and the injured removed to hospitals. Evans, who is thought to have been riding 'on' the front. vestibule 'of the trailer, recived the: full impact of the collision; and from' the first doubt was 'expressed Aor his recovery William Yeunger, 71 Bomore road was - standing with Evans, and had both arms and both legs broken. He may recover, however. Miss Christina Veitch, 52 = Smith street, is another of the seriously in- jured, and she remained unconscious for- many hours. = She was badly crushed. The cause of the accident is ascrib- ed to 'small stones getting into the tracks. This stone had been used to repair the roadway near at hand. The wrecked trailer was one of the pldest belonging to the Toronto Street Railway. Others who suffered injuries were likely thrown from the front.and rear platforms to the pavement. Motorman W; Arnett, 165 Frankland avenue, who was" driving an eastbound car behind the wrecked trailer, said he picked up many injured persons who, he thought, had fallen from the 'rear 'platform of the trailer. Motorman John Haywood, No. 1644, of the westbound Queen car had a mite acuous escape. The vestibule of his car was badly wrecked, but Haywood!

It was during the battle of Given- ¢hy, in February, 1915, that he single- handed, charged a. German machine gun nest, slew some 18 men, and then turned the gun on the Huns. O'Leary said he was going to Ot- tawa, but had made no definite plans for the future. - He thinks he will stay in the East, however.

ET Should university education be for the rich only or should it be as free as public school education? Should brains or money determine a student's} o fitness to - enter university? = This question 'will 'be answered in the re- port of the Royal Commission and in the Provinee's 'acceptance or rejection of its findings. : To a Provincial University money comes from only two sources--gov- ernment support and students' fees.
