Grand Jury Makes Report

The Provincial Initnrnary has 20o inmates with only proper ac. commodation for 75, the Qyanij Jury stated yesterday in their re- port to Chlci Justice Thane A, Campbell. The total of 209- in- mates, the report said, is made up of- 93 males and 116 females. The Jury also fopnd Falcon. wood HzrSplial to be in an over- crowded condlficn but stated in their report that the addition of a. nurses’ home and a new building for the male attendants would hell! substantially to relieve the congestion.

"We feel," the report went on, "that much credit is due to Dr. Murchison. Mr. Bonneli. and Mrs. Kitchen and staff for the efficient

mannea- in which the institution is operated." Tlhe Jury found I51 females

and 150 mules at Falcoriwood and 37 inmates at Beech Grove Inn. They recommended that Beech Grove be supplied with its own laundry facilities as those at Fal- conwood were already overtaxed. They found the Queen's County Jail to be in good order with 31 male prisoners and two female. Members of the Grand Jury were: Messrs. Ralph Jenkins, city (foreman); Willard Kelly, South- port; Harry A. McDougnll, City: George MacLcon, Wiitshire; Aub- rey Cutciifle, Fredericton; Allison Mayne, Fipringfleld; Harold Bun- taln, Wliezttiey River; Archibald Johnson. Brookfieid; Duncan Irv- ing, Cherry Valley; Charles Todd, Brcadaliiane; and James Doyle, North Rliver. '

PRDMINENT-

(Continued from Page 1)

structure in which the Minister delegates his powers to a_ County Committee with executive powers, consisting of five farmers, two landowners. and two representatives of the farm workers’ unions. Counties are split into districts with some 1,000 farmers, each district having an Advisory Com- mittee of about a dozen farmers who know every farmer in their three parishes.

Suppose a farmer is not living up to the production rloznanded by the serious conditions in England, he first receives advice and hclp from the District Committee. If this does not make a difference, members of the County Committee inspect his farm and if they are not satisfied with the situation he appears be- fore them and states his case. In the last resort, he cannot- be turn- ed off his farm uiitii after a year's "supervision." During that year the County Committee can issue orders to the fanmel‘. and 1f he 1s still unsatisfactory at the end of the year "under supervision" the County Committee can apply to the Minister of Agriculture for per- mission to dispossess. If the Min- ister agrees. after he has investi- gated the circvcnstances, the farm- er still has the right of anneal to an independent Board of three members, the chairman being a leg- al member and the other two belnE farmers from elsewhere.

During the war there was no "under supervision" provisions and no "appeni". Tn spit» of this, since 1939 the total number of Owners actually dispossessed of house and farm was 939 in the whole country. Altogether, some 4,704 were dis- possessed, but many of these T101 only agreed but asked for this act- ion as they are paid complete com- pensation. as laid down in thc Act. as though between a willing buyer and a willing seller.

In addition, 2,795 tenancies were terminated, and ngnin many agreed for the some reasons. The County Committee has exactly the same powers to disposscss landowners as tenants, who may apply to have their landlord dispossessed.

This evening, Dr. Sanders will speak at Birch Court to members of the P. E. I. hrnnch of the Agri- cultural Institute on thc subject, "Maintenance nf Fertility."

As Chief Cause Of Crime‘

For the second time in succes- sion t-he opening of Supreme Cour‘. in Queen's County was marked, yesterday by the presentation of a pair of white gloves to Oriici Justice Thane A. Campbell as an indication, in the words of the Chief Justice, “of the comparative absence of any serious crime in Queen's County."

“I say ‘comparative absence?’ the Chief Justice said in his ad- dress to the Grand Jury, "because there are other Courts in the County which have jurisdiction to try cases of a criminal nature, such as the Court of the Stipend- iary-Magistrate for the City and the Court oi the Stipendiary- ‘Magistrate for the County. Nev- Frt-heless, the absence of serious crime does reflect credit on the County.

"But my comments on less ser- ious crime cannot be so compi .1- cutary. 41 cases tried by the Magistrates have been appealed to this Court. 37 of them have to do with thc unlawful use of intoxi- cating liquor. A good proportion oi the other appeals have something to do with the unlawful use of liquor. OI the 342 prisoners who have served or are serving time in the Queen's County Jail, 183 were there on the charge of hav- ing been drunk and incapable; 69 were sentenced for having been drunk and disorderly; and 22 for drunken driving.

“in fact, practically the whole of the law-breaking in Queen's County during the past six months may be traced directly or indirectly to the unlawful use of intoxicating liquor.

"I have no doubt the large number of arrests is due to the vigilance of the law officers and that, were it not for their strict attention to duty, many of those convicted of those lesser crimes might have gone on to commit more serious ones. I don't know whether or not you gentlemen can do anything about it. We nave a. new Temperance Act on the statute books and there is no excuse for this unlawful traffic in intoxtcants. ,

"In closing I should like to im- press upon you that the large number of appeals before this Court is no reflection on the coin- petence of the Magistrates who tried the cases in a lower Court. Both the City and the County have competent Magistrates but it is inevitable with the brief tiins at their disposal that mistakes will be made. I make these re- marks so that not only you but the public will realize that all cases in the lower Courts are giv- en efficient, and fair-minded con- siderntion."

Appeal Allowed In‘ Supreme Court

The appeal of Russell Smith, Bayfleld Street, against a convict» ion for drunken driving wu allow- ed in the Supreme Court yesterday before Chief Justice 'I‘i'iune u. Campbell. Lester O'Donnell appear- ed for the appellant.

Harry Charles McGarry, Henmlt- age, won his appeal against a con- viction under the Excise Act. Les- ter O'Donnell for the appellant.

from l5 to 10 per cent, declaring this would be far from meeting their needs but was offered as a means of averting “controversy?

What Carriers Seek

In all, the carriers are looking for a general 20-per-ccnt increase. Before today. they had been wil- ling to have the current applicat- ion heard on a lfi-per-cent "in- tcrim." basis, with the other five hclllg added after they had provcn El. C2151‘.

Today. the seven Provinces - except Ontario and Quebec -- op- posing ratc increases objected to even the IO-per-ccnt hearing go- ing forward iwithout relation to formula revision, and the board backed them up.

Net effect of the board's decision. it appeared, would be that the case for the new increase and the issue of the validity of last year's increase would be fought out con- currently before the board. start- ing with presentation of the rail- way's case Thursday. The board will not sit tomorrow.

It was in. the jockeying for position in presentation of the case that the Provinces emerged with the advantage today, with counsel M. A. MacPher-son. Sask- atchewan, J. J. Frawley, Alberta,

and Wilson McLean. Manitoba, leading the attack. They contended the "onus" of

upholding the validity of the old board formula was on the railways

and the roads should have to present their case first. The board ruled the railways

must open up, though it did not say specifically the "onus“ was on them.

Point of the skirmish was that the side which does not open is in the same position as a base- ball team playing n home game - it has thc cleanup inning.

Third Major Development

In the third major development of the day -- the farm imple- mcnt rate issue -- the board order- ed the railways to put thc rntcs back to uliere they vizcrc bcforr- they were hoisted on Dec. 2'1.

These rates arc "spi-cial“ toils -_ below the ceilings within which the carriers can put in increases without special application to the board -— but the commissioners

Concert Given In P.W. C. Hall ,

Patrons of the Community Con-Y cert Association enjoyed a mag-i nlficent concert last evening at the Prince of Wales College halL, the soloist being Mr. Walter c“- 591- leading baritone of the New YOFK City Centre Opera Company, whose widely varied programme was received with warm applause. Gifted with a voice of great‘ range and power which he uses with consummate skill, Mr. Onssel’ 13o L’l’l'i‘lll"l'l his audience by his Eeniai nality and manner. Ho‘ ‘hi. i. \(\{)1lb._\' assisted at the piano by Mr. Stewart Wlile,

Mr. Cassei opened his pro- gramme with a group of old Eng- lish classics in which his lyric talent showed superbly. These comprised “Come, Let's Be Merry," ffiatheriutz Daffodils." "My Heart Was S0 Tree," from the 18th cen- illrl’ "Beggars Opera." "My Lovely C0118." and. “Barney Buniliue," Sometimes known as “The sailor's Consolnficn," arranged in a rol- licking new setting by sir Arthur Sonicrvcll Of wider emotional content was the next group of German songs‘; by Erich Wolff and Hugo Wolf, which was followed by a power- flllly rcudcred aria from Verdi's opera "Uri Baiio in Maschera." Two modern love songs by Del Arden and Stewart Wilie (Mr. Cus=el‘s accompanist) e n ti t l c ii "The Turning Tide" and “Roses In Your Hair", were highlight-s of the concluding groups. Other numbers included “Retrcat" and "Voodoo Spirits" by Frank be. Forge, a personal friend of the ieciiaiist: "Russian Picnic" by Harvey Enders; “Blow My Eyes, a. recent composition by Albert Hay Maiotre iii the old salty sea- man tradition; and "Kingdom by the Sea." by Sir Arthur somer- Veil.

The latter song, which is an impressive musical setting for Ed- gar Allen Poe's well-known poem “Annabel Lee," was given with particularly fine effect. In this and in other works of dramatic intensity on his programme, Mr. Cassel was at his best.

He responded generously to en- cores with songs both old and ncw.iric . ing "The Lord's Prayer" and “The Road To Mandalay."

Mr. Wilie gave two beautifully mndcred solo numbers from Cho- pin, "Nocturne in F‘ Major" and "Waltz in E Minor", and was also enthusiastically encored.

rcceivihg protests from farm and manufacturing interests.

Extent of the increases varied considerably in individual cases, but ihcy would run on the aver- age to an estimated l0 per cent. Some shippers estimated that. with other increases effected last year, the total jump in the tolls on this farm implement move- ment including Llie now-suspended hoist would he 50 per cent in the

last year. In sci-king to have their "in- terim" increase vase determined

now, railway coimsel urged before the board today that by hearing only the lo-per-cent part of the ZO-pcr-ccnt. application the board would have plenty ow “leeway" for later adjustments if the 194B formula should be revised.
