A collision between 0. west bound extra freight train and 3 road maintainer drawing a heavy trailer occurred late Saturday afternoon at a crossing of the main highway near New Annan. derailing the diesel locomotive and three freight ears and wrecking the maintainer. The driver of the maintainer, Mr Hamid Champion of Sum- merslde miraculously escaped in- aury as he was thrown some dist- ance from the cab of the machine. The accident occurred about five minutes to five and is believed to have been caused by a cloud of dust obscuring the vision of the operator of the maintainer. At this point the highway is be- mg re-built wth much light clay on the surface, and this was being atirred up by ii strong wind. The train apparently struck just about the rear of the machine as the trailer remained on one side of the) treat: wnile'the maintainer was: crumpled up and dragged some Hstance on the opposite side. The motor of the maintainer was sheared off and thrown about fifty feet into it field. The front of the diesel locomotive was slightly dam- aged and one freight car loaded with automobiles was off its wheels and angled over on top of the wrecked maintainer. A wrecking train was sent out from Chai'loii.etoivn and the line was re-opened about eleven o'- clock Sunday morning. but the damaged freight car was not re- stored to the tack till about three o”ciock in the afternoon. Ap- proximately 300 feet of track were torn up. The driver of the train was Mr. St. Clair Paquet of Charlottetown and the conductor was Mr Henry Douglas of Charlottetown. The maintainer was the property of M0l':iSCll and Mackae Ltd. of Summerside and is a serious loss as, it is understood. there was no insurance carried. , Passengers on the Borden ex- press Saturday evening were tak- en into summcrside bvtus fiomthe scene of the wreck and anextra. train was made up more and pro- ceeded in Ticnish. -S.

ROGERS AT PRAGUE- Word of his safe arrival aiPrague. Czechoslovakia. as Charge d'Af- fairs of the Canadian Legation has been received here from Mr. Ben- jamin Rogers by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Rogers. In a letter dated June 13, Mr. Rogers states lhal he has been in Prague for over a week and finds his new duties very interesting, He broke his journey at London and Paris. icaving the French capital by the Orient Express on June 4. He notes that Coirimunist youth move- ments are strongly in evidence On the Sun- day following his arrival he wit- nessed a parade of 100.000 mem- bers of what is known as the Youth Association. The house oc- cupied by Mr. Rogers and his staff at the Lcgation IS a spacious build- ing. oiice apparently used as a re- ligioiis institution. A ravaging army of cutworms aided by the dry. hot June weath- er is rapidly destroying grain crops in the Eastern section of Queens and Kings counties with the infestations appearing to range from Alexandra to Iona and from French Port to souris. The attacks, first noticed less than two weeks ago in scattered sections have increased to alarm- ing proportions. The pests have laid waste to a 50 acres grain crop on the Union Road and to another 50 acres in the Fortune area. Another farmer's grain fields bears ('i0Se resemblance to an over- ly large tennis court. He rolled his grain last week and when it commenced to shoot upwards the cutwcrms moved in and the grain moved out.

Mr. Georcn Rogers. co-owner Rogers Hardware Store, foiled fl burglar fit his attempt to steal goods from his hardware es- ltablishment about 10 o'clock last night and almost single handedly captured the thief in his attempted , getaway. The slight business man and his wife were working in the office on 'the ground floor of the store when ,they heard the burglar moving upstairs Mr Rogers immediately l'Bl'l into the shop. giabbed a shot gun off the shelf. loaded it and pro- cecded up the steps. He met the burly. six-foot bur- glar on the stairs and backed him up the steps. At the top he got be- hind his man and marched him down. But the burglar was not giving up without a breakaway ef- fort and when he reached the bot- tom, he bolted into the front room of the shop. He ran towards the door facing Grafton street and jumped throush the glass plate. Mr. Rogers laid the gun aside, jumped through the broken glass. and pursued him down the street. The fleet footed business man overtook the flee- ing man by the Prince Edward Theatre and with ll. low tackle brought his man to the ground. The alleged burglar broke free again and again Mr. Rogers gave chase. He caught the man in front of the Unemployment insurance Office and this time aided by James McT:igiic. son of Police Sgt. Ernest McTague. overcame the burglar. Together they hauled the captive hack to the store at which the City Police had arrived. He was promptly placed in custody suffer- ing from a slightly cut forehead and elbow. injuries which he re- ceived while breaking through the door. Actually the man was first sight- ed on the roof of the building by a pnsserbv who notified the City Police. He was leaving the store. however. as the police arrived on the scene. The man. police report. gained his entrance to the store from I skylight. He climbed onto a roof top on Richmond Street and pro- ceeded along the roots to the hardware store. En route he was forced to use a ladder in gaining access to different roof tops. Ironically. th- man was told v Sgt. Gun Dowling that he won a probably be arrested before the night was over about an hour and a half before he was actually placed in custody. Sgt. Dowling was talking to the man on Hughes Corner when the burglar told the police officer that he was all through with "that kind of busin- ess" and the Sergeant made his doubtful reply. A little while later he visited the Police Station and spoke to the police officers. On both occas- ions he was wearing a clean white shirt. When he was caught he was wearing a dark sweater and dirt- stained brown jacket, a strategic move, police believe. to offset sus- picion in the event he were sight- ed, but not caught. l The Grand Jury yesterday re- turned "No true bill" in the bill of indictment preferred against Mr. N. W. Lowiher, K.C.. alleging misappropriation of trust funds and uttering of a forged document. The Grand Jury's return means that they consider that the Crown has not made out a case against the accused which would warrant his being put on trial. Chief Justice Thane A. Campbell presided at the opening of the Queen's County Assizes at which only one bill of indictment was preferred to the Grand Jury. His Lordship noted that by Act of the last. session of the Legislature Grand Juries have been relieved of the duty of appointing con- stables and fence viewers, these ap- pointments being now made by the Judge. Going on to instruct them in the matter of inspecting public buildings the Chief Justice voiced appreciation of the recently com-g pleted redecoration of the court- room. 12 years after its last paint- ing. The Minister of Public Works. he said, had well ignored the er-, roneous theory that the law should' be administered amid dusty hooks and grimy courtrooms. The report of the High Sheriff showed that: since the January sittings II6i prisoners had been confined in the Queens County Jail, almost all of, them for offences connected with intoxicating liquor. it is by check- ing minor offences. stressed the Chief Justice. that the commission of major crimes is prevented. The total number is rather less than for the corresponding period dur- ing the last few years. At present there are 21 prisoners. The Chief Justice charged that the evidence was technically suf- ficlent for them to prefer an in- dictment and that they should bring in a "true bill" if they found that the intention of the accu- ed was dishonest. I-lls Lordship went on to discuss the accounts of the estate as passed and what purported to be a copy of an amended dClT?D of the Probate Court showing an additional S4000 payable to the United Church and ii-hicli had been forwarded to the church treasurer together with a cheque for that amount. No such decree was issued by the Probate Court. The Grand Jury were to hear the Crown's wit- 4 nesses for themselves, however-,. and not take the facts from the; Chief Justice. They were to de-i clde whethcr there had been any attempt to defraud. The accused was to remain at liberty on bail bond until the finding of the jury. The Grand Jury went out and twice returned for instructional His Lordship advising them that they should interview all thel Crown's witnesses and that there was no question of giving the accused the benefit of a reason- onable doubt. That consideration would only be for the petty jury if the case should go on to trial. The Grand Jury came in at 4:25 P. M. and returned "No bill". Counsel for the Crown were the Hon. Walter E. Darby. K. C. and Mr. J. P. Nicholson. for the accused, Messrs. W. E. Bentley, K. C. and D. L. Mathieson, K. C.

Mr. T. J. Ininan acted as master of ceremonies and extend- ed best wishes on behalf of the community and expressed the re- grets of the citizens of the loss in the school and community of their departure. Mr. John Green car- ried in a beautiful dimer set of dishes which was a token of good- will and friendship from the neighbors and also several boxes of chocolates to the family. Miss Ioulsa. Callback on behalf of the centralsedeque Women's Institute of which Mrs. Raynor was is valued member presented her with a. beautiful string of pearls. Mr. and Mrs. Raynor each thanked the friends for kindly iemembeiing them on this occassion. During the evening games were played and music was furnished by Miss Marlon Schurnian. Mrs. Harold Clarke and Dr. Wm. Moreside. on the piano, who was accompanied by Mr. Weston Raynor on the violin, and Mr. John Doull on the guitar. Lunch was served by the hostess assisted by the ladies. A sing song led by Dr. Moreside brought the evening to a close. Gracie Fields. acclaimed as one of the world's greatest entertainers. more than lived up to her reputat- ion when she appeared before 3 crowd of some two thousand at the Charlottetown Forum last evening. Many superlative: are used to describe stars of Hollywood. but all of these words seem to fall short when talking of ”our Gracie.” Abounding with vitality, energy and exuberance, Miss Fields captiv- ated the audience from the mom- ent she walked onto the stage un- til she finally left it some two and a half hours later. With a brief intermission to al- low the audience to rest from the convulsions of laughter into which she had thrown them continually, Gracie proved that people are alike the world over in their fondness for the type of. humor she offers. Although comedy seems to be Miss Fields' meat. the drink that goes with it to provide the perfect- ly balanced banquet of entertain- ment, is found in her singing 0' such beautiful songs as "The Lord's Prayer." and "Count Your Bless- ings". People throughout the huge auditorium realized that these were prayers. sung by a very sincere and devout woman, and entered into the spirit of the numbers as some of them closed their eyes, and others fum-bled for hanclkerchiefs. Miss Fields has the happy fac- ulty of finding out in her first few numbers just what the audi- ence likes, and has an unlimited reserve from which to draw the type of songs and stories that she knows will please her audience of the moment. The Queens County Federation of Agriculture unanimously ad- opted the proposed Potato Mark- eting Board scheme at a meeting in Hunter River Hall yesterday which was so largely aticndcd that many were seated on the stage while others were forced to re- main outdoors.
