Today they will begin anew on nu- merous cases of safe-blowjng Which "took place in York and Ontario Coun- "ties during the fall. Among the "points at which robberies took place were Port Credit, Newmarket, Mark- ham and Stouffville, Brooklin and Oshawa. At each place there was evidence that safe-blowers had been on the job. Following the conviction of Laing on Friday, Provincial Constable Tay- for of Whitby came to Toronto and consulted Deputy Commissioner Al- fred Cuddy regarding the further ar- rests. Sinclair is now in Whitby Jail on remand. "Laing and Sinclair are well known to the Toronto Police. Inspector Stringer is confident that there will be developments in connection with the long list of robberies which took place about the time Hogg & Lytle warehouse was enterea.

Oi HOCKEY PICTORIAL Second Edition The second edition of the Hockey Pictorial is on the market, more com- plete and up-to-date than the original edition, which was received with such acclaim by followers of the the great winter sport. Most favorable com- ments have been passed upon the publication by sport writers the con- tinent. over, and the general opinion as expressed by players ahd scribes is that no 'more comprehensive or handsome 'book in the sporting line was ever printed. =A feature that should possess a marked appeal not only to 'puck-chasers of the present, but to old timers, are the many group pictures of champion teams, dating back to the early history: of hockey. The new edition hot only contains the history of hockey in Canada, but covers the history of the game in the United States also, with 800 hand- some engravings of Canadidh and American teams, and 'is right up to, the minute in every respect.
