(Special to The Guardian)
BUMMERBIDE, Jan. 23.-Yesterday
was a red letter day in Bummerslde as itwasthedmttiinatliatmaiiehed been landed there by aeroplane. Through the eiforts of Mr. A. ll._-Meo- Lean, M. P., the post odice depart- ment at Qttawa had agreed to favor Bummenide with a. daily mail aero- plane servioe and yesterday was the first day for the mail to arrive. The plane operated by Flying Officer Dean arrived at`1.45 p. m._and after grace- fully circling the town made a per- fect lending on the ice to the West of Queens Wharf. After delivering three bags of null and taking on one bag it loft at 1.55 p. m.
Mr. 1-I. G. Muttert of Summereide
who had just reeeived~an urgent mea- sage from Montreal was a passenger on the plane making an attempt -to catch the Ocean Limited, which left Moncton et 2.31 p. m. This he auc- ceeded in doing and is making a re-
oord trip for any passenger from thil Province to Mon real. Through the courtesy of the C .N. R. a taxi was waiting the arrival of the aeroplane at the flying field near Moncton. Mr. Muttart arrived poet heete at the rail- wayistation in time to ' beard the Ocean Limited and will arrive at Montreal at nine dciockfthia morning.
what has thudbaan accomplished.
simply goes to prove that it is only a short time before aeroplanes will be used continually by people wish- ing to leave this province particularly in the winter’ time. when travelling _conditions-areuncerttin. -A big crowd was down t»i`l._watch the taking off of the machine and the only objection to the crowd on these occasions is that they should keep back and give the pilot a chance to land.

to como before
ence. from Premier
d ply to a complaint
against a from Launching for cruelty to his horse. This man was in the habit of coming to George- town. getting drunk and usually abusing the animal.
The Premier wrote the man that.
if he again committed that offence he would be at once arrested and prosecuted.
The cue of en old and decripit
horse, sunering from cancer, which should ba burnenaly destroyed, was reported to the society. and a letter read to its owner from the inspec- tor. warning him that the animal should be deatroyed.`
Police Oihcer J. J. Trainer once
again .accepted the post of inspector to tihacooiaty for the year 1929.
The next order of business was the
election of for 1929.
The same officers as had oiiiclated
in 1928 were re-elected for 1929:
President-Mr. A. A. I-fennesay. Secretary-Mrs. Geoffrey Fitzger-
aid. Mr. John A. Gillis. of the Domin-
ion- Live Block Branch next address- ed thejmoating. Ho spoke of the real necasity for the existznco of an or- der which would protect dumb beasts from cruelty and needless suffering. A Society of this kind was of very_
iititlo Ill0._ unless it was active. har success, t was. ii e whole of the 'cov- ered, not just the city alone.
The Society, he felt should be pro-
vince wide. Cruelty totanimals was not confined to Charlottetown es some of the correspondence would show: ~- Especially-in -wintor time, .there are many sections of the province where animals are treated' cruelly. Cows and horses are not properly fed, and not protected from the cold as they should be. He detailed a. specific in- stance which hed come to his notice recently of some cattle kept in an open stock car on the railway line, with thermometer down nearly to zero. ,
He next alluded to the shipment
of live hogs in the live stock branch. One thing they lnelet on is that the animals are caofortabiy bedded for the trip, and properly fed. Box cars are always made use bf.
They would appreciate it if any
violation of theea rules was brought to their notice.” The matter would be promptly attended bo.
lt is e crying shame that dumb ani.
mals who can do nothing to protect themselves, are abused and cruelly treated. I-le was pleased, he said, to become a. member of .the Society. and ha pledged thc lupport of the Live Brook xraneb to all efforts to allev- .late the euiferinga of dumb creatures. V Mrs. J. S. .laniiiue raised the dues- tlon as to whyanimals could notbe killed before they were shipped.
Mr. Gillis explained that this de-
plrtmont encouraged live shipments. both because animals could be slaush tered in packing plants more hu- manely, and also because they could be stripped alive more economically and efficiently. He explained that it was quite easy to get proper protec- tion' in railway carsrbut. the travel- ling buyers were often guilty of over- ~ro'wdtng oattlroars.
---» ~' \~ an-il.. hrougnl, up the
quaatwn ... scolding hogs in pack- ing plants before they were killed,
Mr. Gillis felt that perhaps in
some oeece they might be ecalded bc- iom they were deed, or even some iembs might be pelted before they were deed; he did not know.
It wee left to the executive to ar-
ms e dere for the meeting of the 5 ee society. \ Chief ol Police Blrtwtetle brought to the attention of the society the necessity, in this slippery weather, of horses being more sharply ehod.

Blind i n g Snowstortn
Blamed For Terrible Tragedy in Ohio.
(Special to the Guardiull
BELLEVUE. Ohio, Jan. 23. - A
blinding snowstorm which engulfcda bus 'and an electric interurban car. was blamed tonight for a crash which claimed 18 lives and resulted in in- lury to 14 others. The oolilssion oc- curred when s. bus operated by the Greyhound Company between Toledo and Pittsburgh was struck squarely in the centre by an express electric car of Lakeshore line enroute from Norwalk to Bellevue, at a double grade crossing a mile and a half east of here.
Edward Butler of Cleveland, driv-
er of the bus, said he pulled up to a stop at the icy crossing. looked about. but failed to see anything. He drove up on the crossing at the instant the interiu-ban, travelling about 35 miles an hour. reached it. The interur- ban crashed on top of the bus and fell across it in a ditch. smashing the machine into a mass of twisted steel and splintered wood. and pin- ning nearly ali the passengers un-
demeath.
Those riding the electric ear fran-
tically began digging into the wreck- age to extricate the dead and iniur- ed. Passing motorists made impro- vised ambuianees of their machines. It required fou.r hours to remove tho bodies of __ the dead. four of them wo- men. The eighteenth body could not be removed until the New York central railroad responded to cells for jacks and s. wrecking crew to re- move the battered wreckage.
There were few coherent stories of
the tragedy, but passengers on the electric agreed that it was rolling along through the snowfall at s fast clip. when. without warning, there was a rending crash. The bus was torn nearly in two and the interur- ban hurtled into -the air from the force of the impact. its bulk settlilil down fairly on top of the wrecked bus. Passengers 'on 'the electrid car escaped with shocks and minor in- juries. but nearly all those on the bus were pinned in the debris. The exact number of passengers on the bus was .not learned but it was be- lieved that there were few who were not accounted for in the list of dead and injured. ,
BELLEVUE. Ohio. Jan. 23.-~Sl'il.k-
en by his experiences in the bus crash here yesterday, which killed eighteen passengers, Teddy O. Braw- skl, of Brooklyn, confessed during the night of' two bank robberies be- fore his neme was added to the death list. early pls morning. Ser- iously injured, in a hospital 0’Braw- ski fought for his life until he real- ized lt was hopeless, and then ad- mitted that he., committed a bank robbery in Detroit lest summer, and another in California some time pre- viously. He did not say which banks he robbed. nor how much money was obtained. Police here said Detroit police had asked them to obtain his finger prints, but he made his con- fession and died before the prints could bc made.

Aime Gertin, Conservative, Hull, and Hon. H, Mercier, Minister of Lands and. Forests, featured yes- terday's proceedings in the legislative assembly when the debate on the address was resumed. slid in the course of the latter's contribution to the debate he warned the Conserva- tive members that the government speakers might become' "impatient" with the language used by the oppo- sition members and the substance of some of their speeches.
“There is a limit to patience," he
said ,"a.nd some day we may be car- ried away and descend into the mud with them so as to give those who at- tack a lesson in language and con- duct.”

LONDON, Jan. 23--Influenza which
has been sweeping Europe as well as other parts of the world. appeared today to be on the increusel The cp- ldemlc was acute in London where many omces were crippled by the absence of part of their stall. Med- ical workers were issuing leaflets on how to avoid and treat influenza.. Indoor workers were mainly affect- ed. The biggest London omnibus Co. reported that very few men were absent because of illness. Although exposed to variabio weather. the drivers maintained their average health.
Hungary, Finland and L\°rmahy
were among the chief European sili- ferers. Warsaw alone reported 100,- 000 cases with some deaths. but the epidemic was milder in Poland than in some other countries.

occupied the ciialr. After the min- utes had been read and adopted, thi
I audience consisted of victims of thc. president explained the object, of
i the meeting, which was to consider U. , proposition to be submitted by Messrs .Ellis and Dunn of the Ellis Shipping t Company, who were submitting o. tender on Feb, 15th next, for the daily service between Picton and Char-
iottetovm. for the year 1830.
Mr. Dunn then explained the ob-
ject oi their visit, which was priu- cipaliy to nntl out if there was env ,feeling in favor ol a new boat on the ;serviee. They found there was such ta feeling, aucl were here to submit ,the plans of two -boats. lt would be `quit¢ possible, he .stated to have one of these boats ready by June, 1929.
Mr. Diuin then submitted the plans
for the examination of the council. These have aiiesdy been described in
yesterdays Guardian.
Asked by Mr. R. il. Jenkins, M. i’..
as to the relative cost of the two boats, Mr. Dunn stated that he could not give exact figures, but the Steam- ship would cost something over $125.- 000 and the Diesel engined ship per-
haps $50,000 more or $175,000.
Mr. Dunn next submitted the plan
of a steamship which, if suitable ax- rangemenis could be made, lr, was hoped to build and run between Pic- tou, Charlottetown, Montreal and in- termediate points. This second pro- position was not contingent upon the acceptance of the tender for tl-18,; Chariottctown-Pictou service. j
The next matter to receive consid- '
eration was the air mail service. UI securing this, the presldcnt stated., the help of the Federal members was ,- solicited a.ud,reoeived. Two tolegramsg were then read. from the presidents. of the board to Hon. P. J. Veniot,-. and from Mr. Voniot to the president.. These have already been published in. , the press. I
The president called the attcntidh "
of the council to the fact that the air mail service was only promised during the disabiement of the car ferry, whereas it had been asked for during the entire winter. He consid- ered it advisable to press for its con-
tinuance during this period.
Mr. J. M. Mosley asked if the air service was designed to take the! place of that taken on the second
tri‘I of the car ferry. `
Mr. Jenkins said that the Seri/109
hitherto had not been en- tirely satisfactory. The bungling was done by people in Moncton, he un- derstood, and was in no sense to be laid to the door of the Postal ome- lals here. He suggested. that 1.110 board consult with Mr. Wheur- 9. most capable oillcial-who was in
charge of the air service here.
The president concurred in this.
Mr. R. E. Mutch complimented the
president on the splendid telegram he had sent to Mr. Vcniot. He thought a telegram should be sent: thanking him for his prompt reply. He pro- tested against the Board of Trade being blamed for the bungling of the mails, which he claimed was bein;
done in some quarters.
The president stated that he un-
derstood that thc bungiing of thb mails had been perpetrated by Mono- ton officials against Mr. Whear's om-
phatic protest. ‘
A discussion ensued as to Whitti
class of mails the air service was d=~
signed for.
Mr. Jenkins said it was his 0111111011
that the service was designed to take care only of delayed mails, until we
have proper landing faoltltlw.
Mr. Mulch contended that it should
be for the quickest, clam of mails.
Mr. Paton thought that the Ngu-
lar mail service should ba maintain- ed. and that only delayed mails
should be forwarded by lt.
Mr. Buntaln said that, while the
car ferry was away for repairs, the aeroplane should carry all the mails.
Mr. B.. L. Cotton moved, seconded
