TORONTO BROKERS
ARE GIVEN SENTENCES
Johnstone and Byles Are
Guilty in Creamery
Collapse.
(Commenting that he was opposed
to sending anyone to penitentiary if
it could he avoided, and that accus-
ed had noeavecueed their money by
violence, Judge Costello, in county
court Wednesday evening, sentenced
John Powell Johnstone, 31, former
Toronto stack •broker, and his head
salesman, Francis Bylee, 53, each to
two years less one da Y in the On-
tario reformatory.
'The prisoners took their sentences
calmly, shaking 'hands with their
counsel and numerous frietds in the
court room before being taken to the
county jail.
The sentences date back to the day
of their incarceration in Huron coun-
ty jail, in the case of Johnstone sonic
14 weeks, and with l3y1es to April
of this year.
The sentence marked the culmina-
tion of trials extending over seven
days.
Johnstone, immaculately dressed,
was found guilty of converting to his
own use, funds of Consolidated
Creameries, Ltd., which he promot-
ed.
Immediately Johnstone was sen-
tenced counsel for Byl•es, R. C. Hays,
Jr., asked permission to change
Byles' plea of "not guilty” to one of
"guilty" with respect to the false
oretencas charge against his client.
The request vas granted and sen-
tence identical to that of Johnstone
was imposed. On charges of conver-
sion and theft, Byles was discharged,
the Crown offering no evidence.

Present Cabinet of Min
To Scott Memorial Hos-

mony on Sunday.
PRESENTATION MADE
AT TUE HOSPITAL
Members of the 'Seaforth Lions
Club paid tribute to Lion R. M. Jones,
late Cthaireman, of the Lions: CriPdoledi '
Childre'n Committee, on Sunday af-
ternoon, when an interesting- presene
beton emeenony took -place in Stott
Memorial Hospital.
'The eurem'onry was attended by
memlbers of the Lions C1ulb, members
a the Scott •1VIemorial Respite.' Board,
the staff, and a few guests. Lion
President Mayor J. F. Daly; presided.
Rev. Father Goetz offered, prayer
and Lion' DT. F. J. Bechedy presmt-
ed the Hospital with a large cabinet
containing a complete -selection of ;
splints for the use in the hospital or
'by nearby doctors. The cabinet,
•which contains the collection, Js of
beautiful walnut and was mannifac-
tured' at the Atvon Chests, Seafortlh.
1W. H. 'Golding, M,P., in accepting
the gift on ibehalf of the Hospital
Board, 'assured the Lions that the -
gift would be midst Usef.ut Former- •
ly, he said, it had been necessary to
'borrow such equipment froimi some
city hospital.
Dr. ,Bechely, in presenting the cab-
inet, said:
‘Members of • the Hoipital Board,
Staff of the Scott Memorial Hospital .
and.Fellow Lions: We have met this
afternoon to unveil a memorial to •
the memory of our. late ,friend and -•
beloved fellow worker, Lion Robert
Murless Jones. Following in his foot-,
steps, as Chairman of the Crippled
Committee., has Ibsen a
comparatively easy task, as he left
the woTk• so completely organized.
He brought to this Moat necessary
activity the same depth of under-
standing, (broadness of vision and
hurnlin sylmipathy, so characteristic
of all his endeavors in this coranvan-
ity.
Lion. Jones was a tireless worker.
Wlhen this -work was first decided up -
On it seemed 'moat natural that, the
man the -Club should select as or-
ganizer should he Lion Jones. The
mernibers always felt confident that „
anything which he was asked to do
would he cheerfully and ably carried •
out no matter what. previous demand's
might have been made on histime
and talents. There always seeneed
to be roam far just one more. '
But Lion Janes didn't consider
crippled •children's work a duty to be
'performed. To him this was a more.
vital thing. It meant being able to
help those pore/. unfortunate ,thildren
who. through no fault of their own, .
would otherrwir compelled to go •
through. lifehandieapped to the point
of helplessness. Can you think of a
more Godlike work ? Can you an-.
agine the joy and thankfulness that
'must well up in the hearts of so
many mothers and fathers when men-
tion is made of the rain of our de-
parted member?
This thankfulness and regard will
always remain in the hearts of those
he was ahle to assist in the all too
short time we were privilege•d to
have -him with us.. This is a far
greater tribute to his memory than
the cabinet ofsplints which our club
now presents to the Scott Memorial
Hospital in the, hone that the work
which he organized- and started. may
be enlarged and sa extended in its
scope that no underprivileged and
crirplecl child ne'S he deprived of its
God-given birthrizht, his health.
Death come,: with a crawl,
()r corn., with a pounce,
And whIher he's slow or spry
It iFin't the fact that you're dead that
counts,
But only, how chd you die.
And when the Maker calls your name
And when He counts the score,
'Twill matter not if you won or lost,
But how did you play the game.
