IOWYERS TRIED IN

Murder Charge Changed .to.
"Neglect" in Father's Case
-Mob Scenes Enacted '
at Trial,,..
A despatch from Pete -dime says:-'
Mob scenes unprecedented: in the his-
tory ,ef P•edorboro courts marked the
preliminary hearing vti Thursday of
George Dwyer, charged tvitis murder,.
and Mrs, Mary Dwyer, charged with
mtlmslaughter. The charges arose out
of the death of John Dwyer, aged' 12,
son and stepson respeotively, of the
seemed. It was atieged that the boy
was ill-treated and undernourished by,
the accused.
Grown Attorney G. W. Batton, LC.,
who laid the murder charge opin-
structions from the Attorney -General
informed Magistrate 0. A. Langley
who presided, that he did not consider
the evidence sufficient to support a
murder committal, and asked that
Dwyer be sent for trial under.aedtions
of the Criminal Code, charging "neg-
lect." This was assented ta, despite
protests of J. F. Strickland and 13. E.
Parks, Dwyer's counsel, that the
Magistrate exoeeded his authority in
cgmuiitting Dwyer for trial on a
chargo that had already been laid -and
withdrawn to make way for the mur-
der charge.: -
Mrs. Dwyer was "arranged on: a
charge of inanslaughter and the pre-
Iiminary heating wile continue •to -mor-

of neglect: pending against Mrs. Dwy-
er. She is represented by F. D.

Dr. I. 11, Eekb o$ Toronto, who conduct-

PLAN 'Flak NEW `LAKE
NORTH OF SUPERIOR
Canadian Engineer Tells of
His Sehetne • tri Increase
Power Resources.
A' despatch "from Chicago = says: -
Plans for a great new lake covering
50,000 square miles, capable of ngaftt
taining thb original level of the Great
Lakes, and providing an incom a of
mord than 915,000,000 from water
power alone, were described before the
Ixaaalt Walton League of America here
on Thursday night by C. Lorne Camp-
bell, Canadian engineer. '
)3y the construction of the two dams,
one on the Albany River, whioh bows
into Hudson Bay, and the other on the
Ogoki River, main tributary of the
Albany, Mr. Campbelk estimated that
the lake formed thereby would'have a
watershed of more than 100,000 square
mees. A out from the basin to the,
south into Lake Nipigon, which emp-
ties into Superior, would assure the
Great Lakes e, yearly minimum flow of
20,000 cubic feet of water a second.
At flood period the flow would be 80,-
000 feet a second.
The speaker, who said he had he
had no connection whatever with any
political, Provincial, national or inter-
national body, elated that the new •
fake, which. would be north of Lake
Superior, in addition to eliminating
rho dredging' problem facing cities
on the Great Lakes, would increase
hydro -electric capacity at the St.
Lawrence probably 500,000 horse-
power; at Niagara in excess of 350,-
000 horsepower; at the Sault Ste.
-Marie, more than 50,000 horsepower,
and on the Nipigon 200,000.
