Sollowsy and Mills. former heads of the brokerage firm bear- liig their names were rapidly dis- posing of their Ontario assets and that the company's head office building here had been sold while actions for $500,000 damages brought by former clients were pending was the assertion o! W. J. P. Jenner, counsel for a number of plaintiffs in actions against Solloway and Mills before Mr. Justice Sedgewick at Osgoode Hall today.

"The defendants have moved their head ofilce to Westmount, Que, and are disposing of their assets in On- tario as quickly as possible," alleged counsel. Mr. Justice Bedgewick re- fused Mr. Jenner‘s motion to com- mit to Jail Perrin Minter, an officer of Solioway Mills, Company for his failure to attend for examination for discovery. "You are asking ine to commit a man to jail because he did not leave the operating table to attend examination for discovery," said l-Iis lordship.

Both Mr. Zeiiiune and Ml‘- Jenkins were in rare form, and the audience entering into the spirit of the meeting was not slow in slviril expression to its sentiments.

The manner in which the Liberal Government "broadened out" from a policy of economy to one of rash extravagance, which although the administration had an increased revenue, ran the Province into in- creased debt, was first discussed by m. Jenkins, the opening speaker. The extra revenue had been gained partly by doubling the gasoline tax. The failure of the Government to implement its promise to make the Province "bone dry", was next dealt with by the speaker. The landing of large quantities ofllquor on the "North Side." the failure of the

Mayor’s Sort Faces Charge Of Forgery

(Special to the Guardian)

CLEVELAND, 01110., July 23.-Thc Mayor of St. Boniface, Man, Can- ada, arrived here late today after a 1,600 mile automobile trip and plac- ed his son in the hands of Cleve- lands police to face a charge of committing a forgery here nineteen months ago. For more than a year Detective Thomas Murphy and Wil- liam McFadden had been seeking Oscar Herbert Campbell, aged 35, former salesman for the Sun Life Insurance company here, who is el- leged to have forged a cheque for $645.80 which the company made out to one of its policy holders on a. loan. Recently the etectives heard that Campbell once lived in St. Boniface. ‘They sent a telegram to the police there asking if they could locate Campbell. The St. Boniface police presumably went to the Mayor with the telegram, al- though the Mayor would not say so. But when the town's chief ex- ecutive learned that his son was a fugitive, he told the son he must accompany him to Cleveland to face the charge. They reached the city this afternoon and went to the detective bureau, where the father surrendered his son. He iscusse’ the case with repreeentativ... of the county prosecutor and intimated that he would see that stitutien was made for the forged cheque. Campbell will be arraigned tomor- row morning. It was indicated to- night that if he is bound over to the grand Jury and brought to trial and if restitution is made, the pro- secutor's office will not oppose a parole for the young man.

Benefits of Australian | Treaty to Canada

Explained by Pre- mier Bennett.

I

i OTTAWA, Ont., July lit-The i first great principle" which govern- ed ln. the negotiation of the new trade agreement between Canada‘ and Australia. was summarized for the benefit of the House of Com- mons today by Premier R. B. Ben. nett. This principle is “That such commodities as Canada produces and Australia requires shall find a fav- ored market in Australia, and that such commodities as Australia pro- duces and Canada requires shall find a favored place in Canadian markets."

In the second place, the Prime Minister continued, when goods or commodities which were produced in Australia would compete with Canadian goods or commodities, there must be such a tariff as would insure fair competition, and when Canadian goods came nito competi- tion with Australian goods in the commonwealth, similar duties must be imposed.

The Prime Minister spoke on sec- ond reading of the bill which pro- vides for ratification of the agree- ment. With noticeable speed the measure was given second reading, put through the committee stage, and given third and final reading. During the committee stage, when the various tariff items came un- der review, Mr. Bennett stated, in answer to a question by Rt. Hon. Mackenzie King, Opposition Lead- er, that the understanding between the two countries was that no changes would be made in the schedules. Consqeuently they went through with comparatively little discussion. i

A feature of the discussion was the statement by Hon. H. H. Stev- ens, Minister of Trade and Com- merce, that Canada and Australia had agreed that, whatever changes might occur in their tariffs, the spread established in the agreement between the British preferential and general tariffs, would be maintain- ed.
