A despatch from. Toronto says: -
The inexorable voice of the law spoke
with dramatic. effect in the ,Supreme
Court Assizes at the City Hall late
Friday afternoon, when a former Min-
ister of the Crown in Ontario and a,
financier whose name is known wher-
ever Canadian securities are market
ed, were ndjudged criminals by, a
jury, and Chief Justice R. M. Mere-
dith imposed sentences :and the pay-
ment of fines amounting of $600,000
on Hon. Peter Smith and Aemilius
Jarvis, Sr., for their :part in trans-
actions which led up to the most sen�-
o.tional, bond scandal in the province's
history.
Five days ago Hon. Peter Smith,
ex -Provincial Treasurer; " Aemilius

To -day Jarvis Jr. and Pepall stand
acquitted on both counts. Peter Smith
is in the Toronto Jail, sentenced to
three years in the penitentiary, while
Jarvis Sr, is occupying another cell in
the same building, sentenced to'si
mouths in the County Jail; Both are
fined the $600,000. They were found
guilty on the charges of conspiracy
and acquitted on the charges of theft,
and both will have to remain in ,prison
until their fines are paid._
T] h' t • British law records
few Anstances of money penalties la
criminal cases. The fine imposed on
Friday has never been even approach-
ed in Ontario, and one legal authority
states that he knows no parallel case
in the annals of British jurisprudence.
Counsel for both prisoners have
intimated that they will appeal. T.
H. Lennox, K.C, representing Peter
Smith, stated that he will make appli-
cation for a new trial on the ground
that the jury was miecharged.'
domestic and sanitary requirements
have precedence.
There is a responsibility ire the use
of water, however, whith cannot be
overlooked. It is of the utmost : im-
portance that what are known as
x -,ground waters particularly be .kept
free from contamination. It is un-
fortunate; however, that the pollu-
tion of local sources of hater supply.
for farms and rural homes is more
widespread than it should be. The
surroundings of wells are, in, many
cases,not at all sanitary and the
seepage from stables anti House waste.
Wells, to be safe, should :be at a
considerable distance from any pos-
sible source of pollution and well
puddled with clay around the top. The
pump platform should be of concrete
and raised well above the surrounding
surface, to avoid drainage entering
the well from the top.
Too much care cannot be given to
the protection of the domestic water
supply. The health of the users is
dependent thereon, and good health is
the most important asset the family
can have.
Royal Japanese in Peril
as Sleep Malady Gains
A . malignant epidemic of sleeping
sickness, spreading throughout the
main island of Japan, tools a death toll
of 2,230 out of 4,200 cases reported
during August.
Physicians are at a loss tocombat
the spread of disease as the medical
authorities here have been unable to
isolate the germ. A few scattered
cases of the disease were reported in
Japan three or four years ago, but
until this year the number of sufferers
has never approached the present pro- -
portions.
The epidemie has spread to Tokio,
where fear is being expressed for the
safety of the Prince Regent and tiie
Crown Princess. Plans for the Prince
Regent to supervise themilitaryman-
oeuvres in Toyama prefecture, where
the malady first was reported, have
been canceled unless the epidemic is -
under control before November, the
date setfor the military demonstra-
tion.

turns for the liquor plebeecite receiv-
ed over the week -end from 75 more
polling subdivisions show a small' re-
duction in the majority in favor of the

division on each question, the Ontario

Government Control 6,941 votes. Rec-
tification of this error, however, is be-
ing made by the returning .officer.
It is expected that the Chief Elec-
toral Officer here will receive returns
from all returning. officers through-
out the provinceand:make his report

Making the greatest exodus from

reached the shore of Prince Edward
Island 150 years ago, an extensive
emigration movement is now under
way from the islands to Canada,. the
