DEATH DUE TO
EXCESSIVE SPEED

SO JURY FINDS iN CASE AT
TEESWATER - TWO WOMEN
WERE KILLED - DRIVER HAD
LOST CONTROL OF AUTO.
Teeswater, Aug. 12 - The jury
impaneled to inquire into the deaths
of Margaret O'Callaghan and Mrs.
Mary Jamieson, following an auto-
mobile accident two miles south of
Teeswater, met in the town hall this
afternoon, and after hearing several
witnesses, five of whom saw the ac-
cident, brought in the following
verdict:
"We, the jury, find that Margaret
O'Callaghan and Mary Jamieson
came to their deaths on August 5,
1929, by being thrown from n car
driven by John O'Malley when he
lost control of the car, due to ex-
cessive speed."
Dr. Robinson, who performed the
post-mortem on both the boides, was
the first witness, and he said Margar-
et O'Callaghan met death by having
her skull frarturod and the brain
lacerated. Mary Jamieson died fol-
lowing the accident, her death being
due to a broken pelvis bone, inter-
nal injuries and a laceration over
the right eye.
Mr. O'Malley, who told his story
and answered the questions of the
Crown, nearly broke down when he
came to the part when he told of go-
ing to the nearest girl, Margaret,
Who lay on the ground, dying, in a
pool of blood. His story was that
he had swerved to miss hitting an-
other car and took the ditch, smash-
ed telephone pole and finally stopped
in a field, after going through a
fence with only one strand of wire,

accident say that they did not notice
any other car, although some of
them said they could not see much
for dust and would not be positive.
Provincial. Constable Neilson took
measurements and stated that the
car went 158 feet after it left the
road. Acting Crown Attorney Ro-

that O'Mallery was not on trial and

Editor Has Yet to Get
First Pay in 60 Years
Montreal, Que., Aug. 8. -Sixty
years an editor, John Redpath Dou-
gall, nationally -known head of the
Montreal Witness, has yet to ..draw
his first pay -check.
For more than half a century the
work 'has been a literary labor of
love for which he has not taken a
cent. Oldest living graduate of Mc-
Gill university, Mr. Dougall is one of
the most romantic figures among
Canadian journalists. He had dir-
ected with constant success a publ c-
ation which, in a high protectionist
district, is an advocate of free trade;
in the centre of wet sentiment, has
been steadfast for prohibition, and
in an overwhehningly Roman Cath-
olic province, has always been strong-
ly Protestant.

in the monastery for years without
suspecting each other's identity.
When I visited the monastery I
was received by a small man in brown
habit and enormous shoes, and taken
through the little green door in the
wall, says a writer In the London
Chronicle. The small mail was the
guest brother and he introduced me
to the guest master. These two alone,
with the exception of the Abbot of
Mount Melleray, are permitted to
speak for the purpose of welcoming
visitors. -
The guest master arrau€ed a room,
hoped I would stay for a week, and
said that tea -the last meal of the
day -would be at five o'cloelt.
At seven o'clock, in broad day-

A welcome is extended, to visitors

are received and entertained free for

make offerings to the monastery be-
fore they leave its hospitable gates.
BRITAIN'S POPULATION.
From 1901 to 1921 Gain Only Fit -
teen Per Cent.
Since the year 1901. an accurate
census has been taken every len years
of Great Britain's population. Prior
to that no systematic record was
kept. The population of England
alone at the end of the sixteenth cen-
tury Is estimated at nearly 6,000,000,
growing to 6,500,000 by 1750. These
figures give an increase of one mil-
lion a hundred years, an increase of
20 per cent. a century.
The first census of Great Britain
i and Ireland in 1801 showed a popu-
lation of 16,345,646. 13y the year
11901 the population had grown to
1 41,976,827; an increase of 25 mil-
lions or 157 per cent. in the century.
During the twenty years from 1901
to 1921, there was an increase in the
population of England, Wales and
Scotland of only about 5.500,000 -or
15 per cent. At the rate of increase
prevailing during the previous cen-
tury the population should have
grown by at least ten millions, or 30
per cent. from 1901 to 1921. Thus
some idea can be gathered of the loss
of population during the war.
In 1921, the number of persons to
the square mile in England and
Wales was 649, and in Scotland 164.
In Low or Platt -German.
In connection with the 125`h anni-
versary of the founding of the British
and Foreign Bib,x Society, the Cen-
tral European Agency, at the head of
which is Mr. A. C. Haig, has pre-
sented the German people with a
jubilee edition of the New Testament
translated into Low or Platt -German.
This valuable gift, the first example
of its kind, has caused much gratifi-
cation in the Evangelical church, for
Platt -German is still spoken in many
parts of Germany among the country
people, more particularly in Mecklen-
burg, the home of the famous Low -
German writer and humorist, Frits
Reuter.
B. C. Buibs for Old ('onntry.
British Columbia bulbs, believed to
be the equal to the best grown in
Europe, will be planted in the public
parks of England to encourage their
importation into the Old Country. Sir
William Clark, British High Commis-
sioner in Canada, was much impress-
ed with British Cohimbla flowers
when on his recent visit and sug-
gested to the Lieutenant -Governor
that bulbs might be exported to Bri-
tain to be planted, and labelled, 1n
the public park.
Gold Production.
The value of gold production In
Canada in 1928 was $39,000,000,
placing Canada third among the
countries of the world in gold pro-
duction. Ontario came first of the
prorinces with a pre'uction value of
932,000,000, followed by British Co-
lumbia, Quebec, the Yukon, Manito-
ba, Alberta and Nova Scotia.

The Bishop of Gibraltar has prob-
ably the biggest diocese in the world.
It stretches from the Atlantic to the
Caspian ilea, and from Morocco to
Switzerland. A tour of this 3,500,000
mile diocese takes two and a half

Fake Labels Taboo.
New. regulations governing the
labelling of preserved fruits and
jams have been issued from Ottawa
and will be applicable to this sea-
son's pack. It is understood that the
order is applicable to raspberries,
plums, peaches, strawberries, and all
other fruits. Color or preservative
is not now permitted in anything
which is labelled jure jam. No arti-
cle can be called pure unless it con-
tains at least 45 pounds of pure fruit
to 55 pounds of sugar, or its equiva-
lent in invert sugar syrup.
The Pinery Sold.
Four thousand acres along Lake
Huron, known as "The Pinery" and
located between Port Frank and
Grand Bend has been purchased by
the Marentette Realty Co., of Wind-
sor and the whole lake front will be
developed into large estates and sum-
mer homes of the expensive type.
Plans are also being made to dredge
the Aux Sable river to provide addi-
tional water frontage. It is believed
the erection of the International
bridge at Port Edward and Port
Huron will speed the flow of money
into this pretentious undertaking.
Correct Stamping.
It has come to the attention of
the local post office authorities that
mail matter is being accepted with
the stamps overlapping. Since this
practice of mailing letters with
stamps overlapping might easily lead
to abuse of mailing privileges, post-
masters have been advised to refuse
mail whereon this practice has been
carried out. When a letter is mailed
it should be properly addressed end
stamped with the stamps so arranged
that there may be no question upon
a hasty glance but that the correct
postage is on the letter. If this is
enforced, officials may more efficient-
ly trace the origin of letters which
are lacking sufficient postage neither
by mistake or purposely.
