Permit Reopening 0f “Some Churoiles"

ORIZABA, Veracruz BtataMcx- ico, Feb. 12-Stringent church rc- strictions were relaxed in Orlzaba today despite B, peacdul rebellion against the lo-year-cjd ban clos-' ing places of worship

“Some churches" will be allowed to re-open in the city, Governor Miguel Aleman dedared in a pro- clamation issued as the revolt spread throughouf the state.

The Governor asserted, however, that demonstrations, such as brought thoulands of Roman Catholics thrmging through Oriz- aba streets Tuesday to open 14 churches amidst the defiant peal- ing of bells, would not be permit- ted

The religious revolt, protesting laws more or less disregarded else- where in Merdco, spread to other cities ncluding Cordoba where 14,000 paraded through the streets, opened long-closed churches and set bells ringing.

A Matter 0f Who

Drinks The Milk

SYDNEY, N. S., Feb. 12 — The case of the cow that allegedly drinks her own milk came before county court Judge Neil R. Mac- Arthur ioday from a lower court.

W. F‘. Grant of nearby Dominion No. 6 sold he had purchased Bos- sic from Joseph Lefwy as a “good milker" only to discover she was in the habit of drinking most of it herself. After the down payment, he refused to pay the balance, evi- dence said.

LeRoy maintained the cow must have developed the habit after she was sold. He had brought suit for the balance and a magistrate found in his favor but Grant appealed.

A government bovine expert will be brought in to testify regarding Bossieb habits.

Saw Poached lobsters Sold And Delivered

(C-P- by Guardian's Special Wire) BHEDIAC, N.B., Feb. 12—Detal.Is of large scale lobster poaching in 1935 and 1936 were given by Ar- thur Bourque today ic the Royal cowl-isle inquiring ma» illegal fishing of lobsters and smelts,

He had hauled about 90 tons of illegally caught lobsters from Point 5RD!!! and Joseph Hebert had car- ried 100 tons from the same area, testified Bourque. He estimated more than 300 tons had been il- legally transported from district No. ‘I to district No. 8.

He had never been troubled by patrol boats, although once the Customs Patrol Cutter Margaret pulled up beside his boat of! St. Louis at night. Someone on the cutter looked at the other craft/s name and said, "it's PaturePs boat. Go on." At that time, said Bour- que, he was employed by Emil Pa- turel and was carrying his largest load of illegally caught lobsters.

The witness declared he had-not poached lobsters last fall but had fished smelts ‘ illegally and sold them to Ernest Gallant, alleged buyer for Paturel. Bourque said he believed fisheries officials did little in this district to prevent fl- lemlly catching of lobsters and smelts inst year.

Alphonse Liretfc testlfled that he and 13 other men were never both- ered by oflicers while fishing lob- sters during the closed season. Al- fie Dolrion, a buyer, had. arranged to turn on. his car lights asa alg- nal in case of trouble. The men set. their traps within three miles from shore.

W. H. Glendenning, building sup- ply merchant, recalled renting a truck to Edmund Melanson for hauling lobsters from the letters place. Ho had not given the dis- trict fisheries supervisor any in- formation regarding origm of the shipment because “I was a friend of Melanson and I did not want to see him get into trouble.

"No, he is good," the witness rc- plied when asked if Mclanson ow- ed him money.

"I'll say he's good, remarked Commissioner Counsel H. F. G. Bridges. Melansoris name has fig- ured prominently in the inquiry.

The next witness, Reginald Lir- ettc, told of fishing smelt: illegally and selling them to Gallant.

Armand Leger, a director of the Barachois Fisherman's Union, ex- pressed belief the season in this district should start earlier and end later than at present. He had set out six lobster traps early last August for "experimental pur- poses" and had fished smelt: il- legally “because everybody else was doing it."

He worked for Mclnnson in the spring of 1934 carrying lobsters from Prince Edward Island to Chockfish,‘ N.S., but although Mel- anson wanted him to work in the fall he felt it was too dangerous, said Leger.

A SIIBEWD LAD

A small boy called on the docwn one evening. "Say, Doc, I guess I've got the measles," he said,"but I can keep it quiet."

The doctor looked up puzzled and finally asked the boy what he meant by that.

"Aw, get wise, Doc," suggested the small patient, "whef/llyou glvc me to go to school and scatter it among all the rest of the kids?"

North Shore League Semi-Finals

1h a game, productive of my- thing but good hockey. the ever plugging Indian River team climb- ed into the driver's seat and established themselves as strong favourites to enter the finals when theyvromped off the ice with a 3-1 lead over the Kensington Aces.

Manager Bemple, of the Aces, with his star first string right- winger, Lester Champion. on the sick list, was forced to juggle his lines around at the. last minute, with a more or less disorganizing result.

On the other hand, the Indian River team, from the goalie out, played their usual heady game and deserved every credit for their hard-earned win. v l

An unfortunate circumstance, which made the job of referees Darrach and Jay very difficult was the close semblance in the coloring

‘of the opposing teams’ uniforms,

and gave rise to the blowing down of several legal plays by mistake. Based on the above, the first In- dian River goal was off-side, ac- cording to the statement, after the game, of one of the referees who realized the mistake too late. It was learned that the Aces are en- tering a protest.

The game itself was a nip and:

tuck affair throughout with two

penalties being meted out-both tol

Larkln of the Aces in the second period. The first period opened with Indian River rushing mat- ters and testing MucQuarric with several hard shots. The Aces,

however, quickly found their icc‘

legs and fought back on even terms till the 14 minute mark, when Ramsay took Craig's off-side pass to race in and drive the wafer home. . The Kensington team then went on a strong offensive and with a minute to go came within a hair's bredth of evening it up. when one of their players broke through, only to have Matthews make a sensational save.

Whitlock evened the count at the 5 minute mark in the second, when he made a beautiful rush from end to end to beat Matthews from an almost impossible angle. Shortly after, play was held up a time when MacQuarrie, the Aces goalie had to retire for repairs, having run afoul of Heckberts stick to receive a nasty gash on the lip. Boon after the resumption of play I-Ieckbert raced up centre ice and let go a wicked drive from the blue-line, MecQuari-ie made the save only to have the puck roll off his arm to drop behind the line.

The final period was featured by the 4 and 5 man rushes of the Aces who did everything but scoae, and by the spectacular net-minding of MacQuax-rie, who time after time rose lo the occasion as opposing pueksmen‘ trapping 5 Aces up the ice, raced 1n on him unmolesfcd. The final score of the game came when Gillls slapped the puck home from a scramble to run Indian Riv- er's fotal to 3.

Murphy, Rogers and the Mat- thews brothers were outstanding for the winners. while Whitlock. MacDonald‘ Semple, Lax-kin and MacQuarrie shared honors for the losers.

She won over 90 races and exhib- itions against the watch, and among her victories was n world's race record for trotters at two miles of 4.50 1-2 which stood from 1859 until 1860. Her three mile record of 7.83 3-4 made in 1660 re- mained the best for the trotting gait until Ed Geers drove Nightin- gale in 6.55 1-2 in 1693. More's record was made to heavy high

Harry Hawkins of Springfield, Ill., has retired as trainer of har- ness and is now in the electrical business with his son. Harry's con- nection with the Maritimes was through the horses he supplied to Billy Keyes, St. Stephen, most of them high class with low records, mostly against time, before they were shipped here. The best that I can recall was Jennie W., 2.07 1-2, that won the $10,000 stake at Windsor, Conn., some twelve or fifteen years ago. She was raced for two years by Billy Keyes, then tumed over to an American train- er with the above result. King Spruce, 2.10, formerly owned by Keyes, then sold to Well McNeil] and by him to W. W. Baker, Dart- mouth, was the last Hawkins train-
