JANUARY 19. 1951 lllliling Plano Recital "Given By Miss Ireland A A The second in the current series of Prince of Wales College concerts was given in the College auditorium last night, the reciteilst being Miss Margaret Ann Ireland, brilliant young Cu '" pianist, who ' is a native of Winnipeg. . only twenty-three years of age. Miss Ireland plays with ripe mat- urlty and with a grace and spon- taneity which made her extremely difficult programme seem easy of accomplishment. Certainly it was .1 most enjoyable and refreshing performance. judged from every :.tr-lndpoint. A highlight in the programme was her beautiful interpretation of the Sonata in 13 Fiat Minor. Op. 36, by Chopin. Divorced from its setting, the Funeral March in this sonata is the most familiar of all compositions of its kind. but its pathos is tremendously enhanced by the contrast with the preced- ing and final movements, and it is not surprising that this work has held its own for more than a cen- tury with music lovers. A perhaps still more difficult test of musicianship was Miss Ire- land's opening number. the Organ Prelude and Fugue in A Minor. by J. 5. Each. in which her keyboard mastery was shown in the noble polyphonic melodies. This was followed by three short pieces by Brahms. listed merely as programme lntermeszi in the 110088. New to the audience. and warm- lv received. was a eompositiun en- tltlecl Fantasy in D Minor. which the composer. Oskar now teaching in the Toronto Con- servatory. dedicated personally Miss Ireland. I-fer concluding numbers includ- rd the Liebeatraum, by Lisllt, and lhree stimulating selections from the work oi a contemporary Braz- ilian composer, Hector Villa-Iobos. she also responded graciously to CIICOIES. It is hoped that means will be found of bringing Miss Ireland here again in the near future, as she is undoubtedly on the eve of a car- outstandlng prominence ear of among the world's gifted artists.

The total uncollcctable over- -payments in the Province amounts to 347. he stated. They comprise two accounts. one of 037 for forg- ery and enoilher of 810.

"with feed grains operating at a high level of cost there should be the utmost care in thesecuring of good seed if our farm producers are to become more or less self- sufficient and save large amounts of money through an increase in grain production per acre. "Every seed plant operator or owner in the Province should im- mediately see to it that seed clean- ing equipment has the proper sieves and is acuusicd so that wee-3. seeds and poor grains are taken out in the grading process. I have seen some of these machines ill opera- tion and they were not being op- erated with properisieves. I have also seen good hand turned grad- ers that were equipped only for blowing chaff and straw out of the grain. Why not get the prclper sieves and do the job right? Good seed Available "There are quantities of good seed. grain available in this Prov- ince. Quotations cn No. 1 and No. 2 seed oats through a mainland brokerage firm indicate fairly stiff prices. namely over 35.00 per hun- dred pound sack. Commercial No. 1 and No. 2 seed barley is 32.56 per bushel with Registered Government No. 1 or No. 2 seed wheat 32.54 per bushel. Tlhese varieties do not in- elude some of the favcured varieties of barley and wheat grown here. These quotations are for carlcts. "Good seed grain can be secured, however. in our own Province dir- ect from supplies at cheaper rates than this. The high prices quoted are due in part to the fact that Western seed cats is nct of good quality. and seed oats as a matter of fact is being shipped from Prince Edward Island to Western centers. "Do not let your grains get away from you. Protect your own supplies adequately. From the some source we have the following quotation: on feed grains: No. 1. feed oats s3.3S per hundred pounds in bags. 2nds.: No. 3CW 83.60 per" 100 pounds: feed wheat 53.21; barleymeal 366.70 per ton. These are in carlots. Local Quotation "local quotations delivered Char- lottetown in bulk are as follows: "No. 1 feed barley delivered bulk is quoted at 03.26 for middle of March to May delivery. For im- mediate delivery a premium above this rate would have to be charged. No. 1 feed cats is 53.12 bulk; No. 5 feed wheat 02.90. Millfeeds are ranging about the same level as last week and in comparison with whole grains are really cheaper. but nev- ertheless not cheap on the basis of their own analysis. "Local grain is getting scarce and there seems to be a reluctance to quote. It is urged. however. that parties having grain for sale should get in touch with lccal centres of demand for use of this grain in our own Province rather than export. oiicake is almost..1.mpossibie to se- cure. "Soybean meal is quoted at 9.10 in carlot. delivered, which almost places it beyond the realm of pract- icability in feeding. "Flshmeal is almost impossible to secure and even molasses has taken a jump upward to we per gallon basis Montreal. Ontario corn is quoted at 91.47, bulk. delivered. Ull- der eonditlons of high feeding pro- ducers should be aware of any special ,mtixtures placed on the market unless they are accompan- ied with a proper statement of sources of origin. of feeds 1 'uded, and the digestibility of these feeds. At a time like this low grade mix- tures may very well be placed on the market under attractive n:unes and under special prices which may in the final analysis be ex- cep ionaily costly. "The mlllfeed market is strong and in view of United States de- mand and the world wide political situation". and in view of an upward spiral in other products. I cannot see on immediate recession in can-. edlon prices." IN "memonfm In loving memory of Robert E.

Mo- Phail asked him if. he know any- thing of Muliins' death and the prisoner said he had answered "Yes." He had then told the ol- fieer about the In-enchman and told him he had killed Mullins. Prisoner was then taken to the police station. He had not been in bed that night. soon afterwards he was taken into the Chiefs of- fice where he made a statement The Chief had written the state- ment out and he had signed it. He- had previously signed a warning which had been read to him. and had no obpecilon in either case. 1-le had not objected when they took his photograph. Asked by Mr. Bell about the marks on his face. the prisoner slid the one on his forehead was an old one mode in his cellar. and .' the mark on his nose might havel been caused when he fell trail evening on Gerald street. Denies Statement Referring to the slatcment of' Roma Steele that she had been in the parlor with him. the prison- er denied it. He said he had had no trouble with Mullins. had not been in Muliins' house that even- ing previous to going there with Mt-Gonneil. and had not killed him. The prisoner stated he had ap- plied for entry into the Canadian Army twice but was turned down' because of medical unfitness. He could not pronounce the medical. term for his affliction but said it meant fits. A certificate. dated 1941, was introduced stating the prisoner was subject to epilepsy. in answer to cross examination by Mr. Campbell, the prisoner said he remembered everything ihui. happened the night of December 4, and did not take fits when drinking but talked and actedl wildly. He said liquor began to get the best of him about six years ago. and eventually he preferred shake, to government liquor. He admitted to being a shake addict. and that he would do nearly anything for a drink of shako. The prisoner said he had eventually lost his last steady job (last June) because of a. needle he had been given by Dr. Lee after a drinking bout. Asked where he got the money he spent for alcohol. the prisoner said he had always turned his regular pay envelopes over to his wife and had used money received for overtime to purchase liquor. since losing his job he had some- times borrowed small amounts from friends but had always paid them back. Questioned about the reason hr: did not go to work when he got a job after six months unemploy- ment. the prisoner said he did not like to go ten minutes late and had decided to go the next. morn- ing. The cross-examination of the accused was resumed after lunch. and the prisoner then said he had left his home for work shortly be- fore one o'clock. When he got downtown it had been ten past one, and he thought his clock at home must have been wrong. Asked 'For Four Dollars The payment for the jack which he had taken to Mr. Kelly was first mentioned when he took it in to Kelly's gamge. He had asked four dollars for it and had event- ually recelved one dollar and four bottles of bay rum. The value of the bottles he received was thirty- five cents each. The prisoner said he was fairly full when he left his home about nine o'clock in the evening, and was staggering and falling. After he had been out in the air for a while the effects of the liquor died down It hit. 1-le was then Kbing for some lunch and had had it two hours later. 1-le had first gone straight down town, and although his mind had swayed from the lunch a bit, he had not fctrgottcn it. Mr. Campbell remarked to the prisoner on his excellent memory of everything that happened that night and suggested to him that during the two hours he was get- ting pretty sober. The prisoner answered that he was still drunk. The only thing he could not remember was what kind of pie he had eaten at the North- ern Lunch. As-ked when he got the money from his wifols purse. he said it was while Mrs. Lee's head was turned. Mr. Campbell suggested this pointed to the fact he was not drunk at the time. The prosecution then asked the prisoner why. if he was innocent. he had not gone in the police with MeGonnell to report Muliins' death. The prisoner answered that he was nct sure the man was dead. to which Mr. Campbell reminded him he lzad told McGonnell he was. The prisoner was then asked about his long RCqllBiX'iLl11L'0 with the deceased and if he was not one of his closer friends. The prisoner stated he was. and was then asked BARGAINS It I-lOLMAN'S! array of SHEET MUSIC for your real musical enjoyment you must 10 Department.

The accused stated he did not thlnk the Frenchman llad meant killing at the time, it was some time later he thought that -was what was meant. Addresses Ry Counsel In his address to the jury Mf. Bell. on behalf of the defence. thanked them for their attention. and stated that. if convicted of the charge as read. the prisoner must. pay the penalty of death. For that reason the greatest. care must. be exercised in reaching a verdict. Mr. Bell continued by explaining the different types of killing, and stat.- ed if a man is so drunk he kills without forming an intent to do so. it is manslaughter. Mr. .Bell then stated Weeks was not guilty of any crime. and a con- nection with the death of Mul- lins had not been proven. "We want justice". he said. "And you will give him justice and will not find him guilty of any offence." Mr. Bell reviewed the evidence given by Mrs. Week-. wife of one prisoner. and said he was more they would agree that everything she had said was the truth, In conclusion he suggested there WES I10 CVi(IE'nCC lTl'u1'dEll W38 com- .mitted in the Muliins' home. and that Mullins apparently fell and struck his head. Before Attorney General Darby summed up the case of the pros- ecution, he congratulated Mr. Bell on IliS exceptional efforts on behal-f of the prisoner. lie then addressed the jury and asked them to consid- er the evidence carefully and thus arrive at 9. correct verdict. He pointed out that although the prisoner had said he had not been in the house when Mullins -was killed. he had told witnesses he had killed him by placing his find- ers in his mouth. Evidence by Dr. Harold Shaw bore out the state- menf. that violence had been ap- plied in the mouth of the deccsseti. and Mr. Darby stated the only way the prisoner could have known the deceased was harmed in this man- ner was if he had done it himself. Mr. Darby continued by saying the prisoner had told the truth during ills first hours of rt-mol'se after the crime. but bv the time. the police had arrived he was en- deavouring to seek a way out and had invented the Frenchlnall.
