‘ Foreman

A coironei’s jury returned with a verdict of accidental death yes- terday when An inquest into the dearth ad Peter Sboizl-1. . e foreman for Storm: Construction Co. Ltd. on the paving project at Ellezalie was held at Srummerside. Mr. Bbirizzi was injured fatally early Tuesday morning whensbruck by a. gravel truck. No blame what- ever was attached to either the construction company or the driv- er of the truck.

The inquest was called by the R.C.M.P. and was heard in the Court House, Bummerside, before the Cozoner Dr. W. B. Howatt. The follorwing jury was empanell- ed: Mayor John Campbell, fore- man; C. C. Dickie, A. P. Buch- anan, L. A. Moore, Percy Wedge, Alex Nicholson, Allison Moore.

The evidence of seven pensons was taken, namely, Neil M:acQuar- rie. Ellerslie; Stanley Dymait, springhill; Edward Clark, Marsh- all Clough, Dr. A. R. Grant and Cozrp. J. T. Lines. in charge of the R.C.M.P., Summerslde.

There was only three or four feet be- tween the trucks. He said he be- lieved the deceased was stzvuck by the corner of the box of the other truck. He had apparently stepped off the runriing board oi his (Clad-k’s) truck without looking to

see if mother truck was coming.

Marshal Clough, driver of the buck which struck Sbrizzi. testi- fied he had seen the '~ deceased standing on the rumiing board of Clark’: truck travelling about 10 or 15 miles per hour. He felt a jar and knew he had siruvcksome- thing but did not notice Sbrizzi being in the way of the box.

Corporal Lines told of zoiaig to the scene of the accident with Constable Trenouih and described tests and measurements. He said there was always an element of danger in such work.

. A. R. Grant dscribed the inlurles sustained by the deceased which included six broken ribs. a. broken pelvis and kidneys damag- ed beyond repair.

The jury after having heard the evidence a.nd‘surveving the place where the accident happened re- turned a verdict that the deceased came to his death by being struck by a trunk in the act of stepping in front of another truck from the running board of said truck while in the performance of his duties as i-rad foreman. And further we do find that all necessary precau- tions wcre taken for the safety of employees by the Company em- plcving these men.

Japan Takes Prepar- edness Meaures To Meet Threat Of S0- viet Russia.

TOKYO, July 26 —(CP-Haves)- Japanese-conizrolled Manchoukuo was put on 3. war footing today following reinforcing. of the Jap- anese Navy The two steps were regarded here aso. stiffening of the Tokyo Government's attitude to- ward Soviet Rumia in the wake of the Anglo-Japanese settlement.

(Prime Minister Chamberlain an- nounced last Monday that Great Britain recognized Japan's special requirements for maintaining ord- er in Chinese regions under Jap- anese control. Mr. Chamberlain added, however. that Britain's pol- icy regarding China remains un- changed.)

strict measures under the Hslnk. ing Government's National De- fence Act were invoked putting Manchoukuo in a state of prepar- edness for any extension of fine sporadic border fighting which has been going on along its Mongol- ian frontier with Soviet-Mongol troops since May '11.

Reservists Called

Almost at the same time it was disclosed that Japan had calle up naval reservists and was attac ng another squadron to is already powerful fleet. The new squadron will pan-icipatc in manoeuvres op- enly described as training against any emergency arising from third power intervention in the Far East. Naval leaders did not state the number or type of ships it would include..

Meanwhile British and Japanese representatives seeking to resolve riiffcrences arising from the pro- longed Tientsin' blockade , met irwice during the day. Observers said an agreement may be reach- ed within the next two days. Should such be the case a joint committee will meet at Tlentsin to make it effective,

The authoritative Nlchi Nichi as- serted that the naval manoeuvres had been planned both with an eye to possible difficulties develop- ing from the Anglo-Japanese negotiations and complications ov- er the protracted fisherles and Sakhalin Island disputes between Japan and Soviet Russia. Trouble with Great Britain was now ' dis- counted, but the developing war- fare along the Manchoukuo-Mom ghol frontier continued as a serious
