GUTHRIE HELD ON CHARGE OF MURDER AFTER DEATH OF SON Father Confesses He Threw Stick Which Caused Wound in Son's Head. District Shocked by Tragedy Following a verdict of death from, misadventure returned Tuesday by! the coroner's jurp investigating the j death of Patrick Tohmas Guthrie, sixteen years, the father, Capt. Patrick Hugh Guthrie of Guthrie Farm! Comox appeared before Magistrate; Bates Tuesday evening on a charge j of murder and was remanded for eight days. A warrant against Guthrie was issued by Sergeant! Mansfield of the provincial police. Guthrie who is an ex-Imperial Army officer and Boer war veteran has been a resident of Comox for many years. The mother of the lad is on a visit to her old home in Scotland. The verdict of the jury was that j the sixteen-year-old lad came to his death by misadventure as the result:. of being struck on the head by a stick thrown at him by his father on June 14, Death occurred the following evening a tSt. Joseph's Hospital, Co- max Capt. Guthrie made a written! statement to the police and a volun- tary statement before the coroner. The district was much shocked by the tragedy and much sympathy is felt for the family. Father Tcllt Story According to the account of the tragedy given by the father at the inquest, he and the lad were mending the water supply pipe into the horse trough on Saturday. He had taken off the stop cock when his son Patrick offered to fix it for him. When the job was completed Guthrie told the boy at was not right, and that a washer would have to be put on. The lad agreed, but refused to go and fetch one when asked, saying that he had done enough work. On being ordered to fetch the washer again the lad commenced to talk back to his father, and ran down the lane on one side of the trough and the father on the other. Guthrie picked up a small stick and threw at him. The boy ducked his head and the stick which was aimed for his body, hit him on the head. After he was hit he continued running down the lane still giving his father what the father termed "cheek". The lad did not stop till he reached the creek, when he felt blood on his face. Guthrie told him to stop and let him look at his head, but the boy refused. He remained away from the house for three hours and had been out in the sun without a hat. When he returned the father asked him if he was hurt, and he said he was not. About half an hour after vomiting set in ,the father seeing that the boy was ill, got him to sit down and covered him with rugs as he was shivering. A little afterwards he was put to bed, but as he continued to get worse the doctor was sent for. The boy could talk, but could not walk unaided. Capt. Guthrie identified the piece of stick produced an court, which was about fifteen inches long and an inch and a half wide. It wns of sawn lumber. Dr. T. A. Briggs stated that he was called to the Guthrie home about 10 a.m., June 14th. He found the lad in bed restless. On examination he found a small wound not more than half an inch long on the back of the boy's head. It had stopped bleeding, and there were no other signs of hemmorrhage. At the suggestion of the father he had the boy removed to the hospital, where on probing the wound he found what appeared to be a fracture of the outer plate of the skull. On Sunday afternoon the boy's condition was much the same, but on Sunday evening there was a sudden collapse ending in death. Dr. E. R. Hicks of Cumberlnnd, who conducted the post mortem, stated that he found a piece of wood driven into the skull about three quarters of an inch long by a quarter of an inch wide. The brain tissue was swollen.' In his opinion death was due to a blow with an instrument which fractured the skull. The piece of wood was very difficult to distinguish from the outside. If it hid not been there the wound might have bled freely and the result would not have been the same. LAWN BOWLING CLUB WILL HAVE CLUB HOUSE Arrangements have been completed whereby the Cumberland Lawn Bowling club will commence the building of a club house this week end under the supervision of Mr. W. A, Owen, architect and construction engineer of the local colliery company. The green was inspected by a number of the executive committee this week and it is reported that the green is coming along in good shape; play wall almost be possible by July lst. The bowls, ordered some time ago have arrived and are in first class condition. They are being stored nt the Athletic Club until such times as the members are ready to take them away. Lockers will be provided in the club house and any member desirous of leaving his bowls there will be nt liberty to do so. DAUNTLESS OPEN TO VISITORS H. M. S. Dauntless will be open to visitors on Saturday and Sunday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Boats will be provided as there is sure to be a large number of the residents of the district anxious to take advantage of the opportunity to visit the ship. Driver Has License Suspended For 6 Months' Period MAGISTRATE CONWAY SAYS STOP MUST BE PUT TO RECKLESS DRIVING Evidence submitted before Magistrate Conway when William Harrigan, of Minto, was charged with driving to the common danger resulted in I the Magistrate fining the accused $25 j and costs or in default, 30 days imprisonment nnd suspended his licence for the next six months. The magis- trate said a stop must be put to this j reckless driving so prevalent in this district and in future all motorists! charged and found guilty of driving to the common danger, in addition to being heavily fined will have their licence cancelled. From the evidence submitted it appears Harrigan, who was driving a car belonging to Mrs. Cross, was travelling towards Minto and when near the Cumberland cemetery he struck a car driven by A. Passie who was coming to Cumberland, Passie in his evidence, proved that he had pulled his car well over to the side of the road when he saw the other car approaching, his right wheels being well off the tarvia and into the gravel, but notwithstanding all his efforts to give the approaching car as clear a road as possible was struck by accused's car. Considerable damage was done to both automobiles but neither driver injured. We are given to understand that Harrigan failed to pay the fine and will serve 30 days at Okalla. Cumberland To Play Dauntless LOCALS HAVING DIFFICULTY FIELDING TEAM The cricketers from H.M.S. Dauntless will be in Cumberland on Saturday afternoon nt 3 o'clock to play the local team at the "Y" ground. The visitors have a very good team, Lt.-Com. Onslow, who played for Cumberland last Sunday being one of their best mainstays. The Cumberland secretary informs us that he Is having Borne difficulty in getting players for Saturday, owing to several going out of town.

Vernon-Jones, J. Vaughan, T. H, Mumford, J. Heaton and T. Carney, S. Boothman, G. I. Guy, Allan Nunns L. H. Finch, R. Yutes, J. Stewart will be approached. Local Cricketers Defeat Cowichan A very interesting and enjoyable cricket game took place on the Cumberland ground Sunday when Cowichan after beating Courtenay on Saturday took on the local team. The Cumberlanders were assisted by two of the officers from H.M.S. Dauntless, Lt.-Com. R. Onslow and Midshipman Prowse. The visitors won the toss and put, Cumberland into bat, the whole side being dismissed for an even 80 runs, three players only reaching double, figures, Idiens, Onslow and Vernon- Jones. Idiens played good careful cricket and stayed in for almost an hour for 18 runs. Napper proved to be the visitors best bowler taking three wickets at a cost of 14 runs. After dinner the visitors opening batsmen faced the bowling of Ver- nonJones and McLaughlin. The former was successful in his first over, clean bowling Green before any score had 'been made. McLaughlin was successful in his third over getting a wicket with only seven runs on the board. The Courtenay-Cum- berland player was bowling in good form and 5 wickets were down for 24. Prowse relieved Vernon-Jones and was successful in getting two wickets when he was relieved by Onslow, the naval officer getting a wicket in his first over. Hall relieved McLaughlin but after bowling his first over put Vernon-Jones in to howl again who with his flrst ball bowled Corbisbley bringing the visitors innings to a close for 61 runs, Cumberland thus winning an interesting game by 29 runs.

Bennett; Eloquent Address Stresses Need of Man of Convictions for This Riding PRELIMINARY VOTERS' LIST MAY BE SEEN AT POST OFFICE. For the convenience of everyone, n copy of the voters' list has been posted at the local post office. This will be a great help, especially to the ladies who are interested in the coming election, as the office of the enumerator at the Cumberland Hotel was hardly convenient and realizing this the official in charge of the registration list had it posted at the Post Office. he has held until now, and during the past five years he has devoted considerable time to Granby's Cassidy Colliery, both sales and operating. The importance of having a man of the practical and theoretical knowledge of Mr. Thomas Graham, the conservative candidate for Comox-Alberni ,was stressed by the leader of the party, Hon. R. B. Bennett, K.C., and by Hon. H. H. Stevens, of Vancouver, at a most encouraging meeting in the interests of that candidate held Monday afternoon at Parksville. In spite of the fact that it was in thc middle of the day, there were more than five hundred present at the open air meeting held outside Thurston's Hall. Formal Welcome Before tho meeting the Development League of Parksville, took occasion to welcome Mr. Bennett and the party accompanying them, and assisting in the meeting at an informal reception at the Island Hall. This was of a non-political nature and was followed by the entertainment of them all at luncheon as the guests of the league. On the point of the tariff change of position by the Liberal Government, Mr. Bennett described the position of that administration as being summarized in the statement: "We have been wrong for nine years but for thfl last month and a half we've been right, and so vote for us." Making an appeal to the electorate for Mr. Graham the leader said: Man of Convictions "Send to parliament a mnn with convictions. What is thc use of sending men who were anxious to say they voted for e ver'ythdn g, whether that of tho Liberals, or of the Conservatives, like the late member for Comox-Allierni. Elect a man who stands by his convictions, so thnt we can make of Canada a country of homes, not of living places alone. In voicing an appeal for Mr, Graham, the lender said the candidate could be of thc greatest assist ance in thc House of Commons at this time as an authority upon the fuel question. After traveling over Canada he was impressed with the human element material to build a nation. He also had a conviction that no other country in the temperate zone hod such a variety of resources and pro duction as had Canada. Then turning to the question of what was lacking in making more of the country, he asked the audience to think nation wide. Why had the 1,350,000 people who should have remained here left Canada, he asked? If they found the reason, then self interest should prompt a remedy. The people left Canada not cause they did not like Canada, but because of unemployment. Natural Resources Why had they not the work to do here'.' There were timber, minerals and agricultural openings. In the matter of dairying, Canada had built Up an industry at great trouble, and found markets in England and elsewhere for it. Tho Government hnd mado a treaty with Australia. One would have thought that in making a treaty with that country provision would have been made for finding a favored position for Canadian timber there. Lumber was a staple Industry here, and required in Australia, and shipped there from the United States Successful Meeting By Conservative Ladies' Ass'n. WHIST DRIVE AND CONCERT DECIDED ON A very successful meeting of the Cumberland Lallies' Conservative Association was held at thc residence of Mrs. Thomas Graham on Wednesday evening with Mrs. J. Derbyshire in the chair.

FORMER LOCAL STUDENT GAINS tsl CLASS HONORS A former local student, Toshio Kajiyama is receiving the congratulations of liis many friends in Cumberland on passing witli first-class honors In second year at the medical college, Toronto University. He came first in a class of one hundred students. When attending the Cumberland High school he was a pupil of Mr. F. Ii.

He then traced the alteration of | trade from New Zealand until now] Canada imported 35,000,000 pounds' of butter from that Dominion. Yet the Liberal Government took no i steps to check this situation until the eve of election. He also alluded to the diversion of copper in an unfinished state to the United States, which was another cause of diverting population from Canada. Dumping Practices Mr. Bennett referred to the dumping followed in manufactures in the United States. The mass production was allowed to come in from the United States, with the result that factories were left without markets in Canada.

Coast and Vancouver Island Mine Rescue and First Aid Association held on the Central Sports ground. -Nanaimo, on Saturday last. Cumberland teams numbering eight entered the various contests, annexing the Coulson Cup with the team captained by "Jim" Quinn aiid three seconds. Tho judges for the various First Aid events were Dr. Ingham. Dr, MacNaughton, Capt. Dul- laine, Mr. A. J. Taylor, Mr. J. Del- aney and Mr. Jos. Barton. The judges of the Mine Rescue events were Mr. H. H. Sanderland, of the Safety Supply Co., of Seattle, and Inspector of Mines H. E. Miard, of Fernie, at the Bench, which Inspector Geo. O'Brien, of the local staff, and Mr. John G. Schoming, in charge of the U. S. Government Rescue Car, of Seattle, looked after the work in the mine. Tho first event of the day was the Mine Rescue contest for the V.I.M.S. A Shield, which started with the Cassidy team at H a.m. from St. John Hall going to the bench .assembling machines, later going into tho smoke room, and then on into the mine to work out the problem given to them to perform. Their place at the bench was taken by Nanaimo No. 1, Capt. Broder- ick's team, who followed out the same procedure as the first team, being ready to enter the mine by the time the first team had finished. The third team to go to the bench wns the No. J Cumberland team, Capt. Watson, who carried out the same work as the proceeding teams. Tho fourth team was Cumberland No. 2 which was captained by Mr. Quinn, and curried out the same work as the others. The fifth and last team to take part was the Nnnaimo No. 2 team, Capt, Sutherland. This team had the misfortune to have one of their number collapse witli the machine on, which practically finished the contest. In the meantime tbe First Aid events got started soon after 10 a.m. with the Junior Boys for the V.I.M. S.A. Cup, 4 teams competing and the Western Fuel Corp. Cup for Junior Girls, two teams competing, which were both competed for at tho same time. The judges bad an extremely difficult task to pick the winners in tbe boys' event, as tbe teams wero so evenly matched, hut eventually awarded first place to Capt. George Emorick's team of Nanaimo, second place going to Capt. Geo. Gunniss* team also of Nanaimo. The winners in the girls' event being Helen Brown's team of Nanaimo with Doris Campbell's team of Nanaimo second. The next event was tbe senior ladies for the V.I.M.S.A. cu]., four teams competing, tbe Cumherland team, under Mrs. Hudson being Unstrung favorites. This contest was very keenly contested bul at 'he final it was found the Cumberlanders were unplaced, Mrs. Scott's team of Nanaimo gaining first place with Mrs. Sharp's team, also of Nanaimo gaining second. The next event was for thfl Novice cup, which brought out four teams, and was keenly contested, but Capt. Harold Broderick's team of \\naai- mo was awarded fust place, and second place went to '■• Cassidy team, Captained by Win. Hynds.

Dilys Williams, Grade IX, Cumberland High School, June, 19.'I0. WE OWE A LOT TO TELE WE OWE a great deal to "tele". What ia "tele", you ask? What does it do to help along the human race? Here below I give the one-two-three of the "teles" to which we moderns owe so much. One. The TELEgraph enabled Grandfather to thousands of miles in a few seconds, where once it had taken weeks and months. Two. The TELEphone appeared in Father's day and once again the limitations of time were destroyed. It isn't necessary to elaborate upon these two. Their stories are old and, sad to say, familiarity has almost bred contempt for the marvels of telegraphy and telephony. But today we are learning thc wonders of Throe. The TELEchron, which has virtually eliminated time's last frontiers. For those of you who are not familiar with the word, may I say that telechron is merely the impressive name of ancient Greek origin for the modern electric clock, which is self-starting, is operated by ordinary alternating electric current.and is so honest that it can't possibly give you anything but the correct time unless the current stops altogether. Think of what this means to men and women everywhere! No more will it b necessary to say, "If s 2 o'clock by my watch, 2:10 by Mother's and half past by the clock in the kitchen." No more will Catherine or John be too early or too late for work because some clock or watch lost or gainer!. The newest "tele" is an inexpensive home regulator that removes the myriads of troubles of the family that does not have absolutely correct time. Bring on your "teles", Messrs. Inventors! If you have other ideas along the lines of the telegraph, telephone and telechron, by all means work overtime to perfect them in our generation. Others will probably invent many devices for the comfort of our sons and (laughters—we crave more "teles" Editorial by Richard S. Bond. nual meeting of the Pedestrians Association recently, the minister remarked that England had not yet gone as far as some other countries in the matter of imposing penalities for dangerous anil reckless walking, and he hoped that such action would not become necessary, but if fatal road accidents continued to increase it might be necessary in the public interest to impose penalities on pedestrians who walked to the common danger. —British Columbian. SAFETY OF PEDESTRIANS IN' DISCUSSING the proposals of the Provincial Government in taking over the full responsibility for the construction, maintenance and regulation of tho arterial highways, the Burnaby Municipal Council referred to the increasing necessity for regulations for the safety nnd protection of pedestrians. The necessity for such provision is becoming increasingly evident. Not long ago a judge, in dealing with an accident case in England in which a pedestrian had been severely injured, semi-seriously remarked that it was time an act wns passed requiring all pedestrians traversing country loads to wear tail lights. While the remark was made in a half jocular vein it has been, to a greater or less degree, acted upon and white belts with red reflectors on tho back arc being sold and worn in England by pedestrians who desire to ensure their safety on country roads. The British Minister of Transport, Mr. Morrison, has however gone farther than that. Speaking at the an- Leisure Moments in Cumberland "How ever can yon be content in a little town like this," asks a city guest, "this isn't living, it's just existing. What do you do with your spare time?" What do we do with our spare time in Cumberland? Why in this town of some eighteen hundred persons, there aren't hours enough in the day, nor days in the year for one to participate in all the interests offered tiy this busy little burgh. Apart from all the teas and dances showers and birthday parties, one could fill the hours with sports alone, and lead a very active life. Football, baseball, basketball and cricket, furnish en- thusaism enough to endanger the blood-vessels of a large percentage of the population. Tbe players on these teams have proved themselves no mean opponents for some of the visiting city teams; badminton, tennis and trap-shooting have many ardent supporters and keen competition exists between members for the winning of valuable trophies, to say nothing of also giving the teams from larger centres some excellent sport and practice; something in fact to take homo and think over. The town it would seem has almost a club for every person; in this way everyone may have his chance to be the president of something! To enumerate: first and foremost is the Canadian Club, which eaters to the Canadian citizen, who, besides being interested in National ideals, enjoys the opportunity of hearing the opinions of well known authorities on various educational subjects. Next in importance is the Cumberland Literary and Athletic Association, comprising a membership of all the "white" employees of the Canadian Collieries, and many outside people who wish to enjoy its numerous advantages. This association has for its headquarters a club-house unusual in its picturi'.sqiieness fashioned after a castle in the Mother Country. Here are housed the lending library, billiard room and gymnasium. This club features several brunches of sports .namely football, tennis, badminton and bowling, and would be a recognized benefit to any community. Then there is the Rod and Gun Club, the activities of which give keen interest to followers of Isaac Walton; to say nothing of the valuable information with which they are able to furnish the game board! Again, the town though small could well compete with any city in its number of social elubs. Amongst them whist, bridge and cribbage, (the latter no longer confined to the male of the species). A thimble club at which momentous affairs are setled;and various lodges, Welsh and Scottish societies; church and hospital affairs and auxiliary functions; lirst aid demonstrations and social evenings. Besides all this may be enjoyed aquatic sports on Comox Lake, school sports on holidays, bathing and fishing in the Stratis of Georgia, paved roads and perfect scenery. Then for the stay at homes, the mighty talkie. Who can question what we do in leisure moments! If residing in Cumberland, in the opinion of our city friends, is mere cxisence, what would it be to live! SPRINGTIME Winter has gone, thc snow is o'er, Spring again will reign once more; Flowers peep through the sod and earth, Bringing the si{**us of joy ami mirth. The world is brimming over with life, People forget their sorrow and strife, The scented birch and hawthorn white, Across the pools their arms unite. Birds flit joyfully from crag to trees, The lark, the sparrow and humming bees Sing out their warmest welcome to all, That spring again has come to call.

Courtenay Lose To Cowichan The Cowichan cricket team, with ten men, paid a visit to the Courtenay XI on Saturday, beating the home team 101 to 84. Courtenay went to bat first with Idiens and Bourdillon, who, before they were out, had run up a score of 70 and it looked like a good day for the Courtenay cricketers. But the remaining batsmen fell quickly. Leggett and Freeman were the chief run getters for the visitors, the former scoring 59 and the latter 20. Had ( Thomas held a hot drive by Leggett at his fifteenth run, the win would have been reversed. The scoring was as follows: Courtenay Idiens, b; Freeman 36 Bourdillon, b. Freeman 30 Ellis, b.

About 200 Steves ton telephones went out of service as a result. The "log" was actually a wooden duct that contained a 200-pair telephone cable, and the workmen had cut out a section of cable about 14 inches long.

With resources of men and women and natural wealth, the balanced results of employing these for the benefit of the country were not carried out and Canada lost in population. Hc instanced the policy of the United States. That country, to meet sucha condition, raised a tariff under which the Government provided for an equal chance being given to the people of their country tn develop that country. Hon. James Malcolm had admitted in the House: "Of course, if you put up the tariff high enough, you will have competition at home, giving you cheap goods." The United States stood by the slogan: "Our Country First." If this country had applied the principles that had made other nations great, there would not be the present unemployment. The revenues he pointed out, were decreasing. In April there had been $21,000,000 worth more imported than was sold.

In the nine years that the Libe had been in power Canada had lost 1,850,000 of a population that ought to have been here, Of this number 1150,000 alone were native Canadians There had been $40,000,000 spent in bringing people into the country This fact alone was sufficient to condemn tbe Government. groom, respectively.

Pollock motored lo Victoria on Saturday, returning on Wednesday. Effect on Industry The loss of population, he said, was due to the fiscal policy of the present government. It had killed the woolen industry, then the iron and steel industry, and other industries related to it. Mr. Kine; was responsible for unemployment to the extent that his fiscal policy closed down industries. Common humanity would h av e prompted finding means to help out thc problem. All he did was to read from his book written some years ago, and say "thou go and feed these people." The leader of the Conservative party would have voted §10,000,000 if necessary to find means of solving, the unemployment problem but the j Bennett with regard to the coal sit- Govemment turned a deaf ear to nation.
