PACE ALLEGED OWNER OF SEIZED STILL TO STAND TRIAL John Robinson, who arrested at the old Cordon, Ironside Co. building, Dec. 8, a few hours after R.C.M.P. had raided the biggest still ever found In western Canada, was committed by Magistrate T. J.

Murray in provincial police court Wednesday afternoon to stand trial at the next assizes on a charge of possessing the stllL He was released on ball of $2,000, In two sureties of $1,000 each, with his own recognizance for $2,000. Several other charges have been laid agslnst hialncluding possession of 700 gallons of spirits and 30,000 gallons of wash, and setting up the still. Sergeant M. F. E.

Anthony, RC M.P, described the still as the best equipped he had seen in Western 'Canada, It was equal In capacity and facilities to some licensed stills. The wash, fermenting in huge vats, had been prepared at separate times to prepare for a continuous run, and the plant could have turned out 600 gallons of liquor a day. Some of the alcohol on hand was of high quality, having been double distilled. The plant also was equipped with a rectifier. The partitions which divided the distilling plant from the premises occupied by the Blue Ribbon Oil Co.

had been built for some time, and must have been put in after the erection of the still, which appeared to have been In operation for at least a year. Constable Walter Sampson, who was left in charge of the plant after the raid, told of the arrest of Robinson. The constable took possession of the office. At about 8 a.m. a coupe drove up and Robinson got out He let himself into the office by a key which he carried.

Constable Sampson detained him until officers could arrive from police headquarters to take Roblnton In custody. Secret passages and ladderi enabling those in the still plant to pass from floor to floor, or gain exit to the outside without going through the lower floor office, were described by Constable J. D. Fraser, one of the raiding party. At the conclusion of the crown's case, presented by S.

Hart Green, K.C, a motion for dismissal was offered by M. D. Splvak, defense counsel, but Magistrate Murray said sufficient evidence had been presented to warrant committal.

Isaac Newton Students Debate Transportation The extension class of the Isaac Newton senior high school held debate Wednesday. The resolution wast Resolved, that the City of Winnipeg should acquire the Win' nlpeg Electric Company.

Speakers on the affirmative were Jack May son, Elsie Kotenko and William Westman. The negative speakers, Icelandic League Elects Officers '4 stop the wastage of Canadian talent through denial of educational opportunity to Intelligent young men and women without means, was discussed in the House of Commons Wednesday, when Paul Martin (Lib. Essex East), proposed a system of national scholarships. The scholarships would enable outstanding students who were financially unable to continue their education to obtain training in universities, agricultural colleges and technical schools. While agreeing the need for such assistance existed, Hon.

Nor man Rogers, labor minister, said the proposal was not acceptable to the government In the form In which It was presented, but expressed a hope the debate would direct attention to the matter on the part of authorities more direct ly concerned with education than the Dominion government. The provincial governments had the constitutional duty of looking after education, the minister said. There was no Insurmountable obstacle to the Federal govern ment providing scholarships, but the Federal government had other obligations which came before education, whereas education was a primary responsibility of the provincial authorities. The resolution was talked out without reaching a vote and Is unlikely to be discussed again session as today was the last day left for private members' re solutions.

The chairman was Carl Wozny. Judges gave a unanimous vote for the affirmative team.

Political Football It Is In the political playlng up of one proposed site against another and in the half hearted ges tures of officials to make progress In the matter that Toronto is back ward. Nor la there any perceivable force of public opinion to stir these authorities into greater activity. Last week a municipal delegation visited Ottawa. It comprised Mayor W. D.

Robblns, two controllers, the works commissioner and a member of the harbor board. The reason of their visit was application the Dominion should take over the full cos of relief In the city, but, as a side issue, the minister of transport was interviewed. "You have offered one third of the cost of development of our airport. We do not feel like contributing the remaining two thirds or expending our energies asking the province to make a contribution." That was the spirit of their presentation. "What we do or do not do depends on what happens here," said one of the controllers.

What Not To Do Ail this Is a beautiful example of what Winnipeg must not do in connection with its proposed airport development. As a matter of fact, It is very likely that if Winnipeg acts reasonably quickly that It will benefit greatly from Toronto's inaction. Toronto owes much of Its busi B.C.

He was exaggerating slightly in his disgust at the manner politics Is entering Into the question and at the apparent disinterest of the civic authorities and the general public.

Toronto has the largest flying club in Canada. Also there Is a committee of officials and citizens studying the question of modern commercial airport, as there is In Winnipeg. There are several proposed sites for a Toronto airport and the Do ness activity to the mines in the northern and northwestern portions of Ontario. If the city continues its petty bickerings and fails to produce a modern airport within the next few months it is very likely that much of the desirable business from the mines will fol low air lines to Ottawa, Montreal and Winnipeg. The "Queen City" la complacent In its great population and feels the airlines will come to it no matter what it does or does not do.

Seaplanes, of course, can land in the natural harbor but that still leaves the city out of the most important picture for it leaves it off the route of land equipped planes and that is the type to be used on the Trans Canada air route. Out In the Cold The fact that airlines do not travel to cities which make no at tempt to attract them should have been realized by Toronto long before now. Vancouver, Winnipeg, Montreal and Ottawa are connec ted to the trans continental net work of United States' airlines, The cities of the Maritimes are connected by local air services. Only Toronto out in the cold. A traveler to or from Winnipeg cover the 1,000 miles between here and Detroit In seven hours.

The remaining 250 miles to Toronto must be travelled by train, a trip requiring about six hours. By going further out of his way, the traveler can fly on to Buffalo, New, York, in an hour and 20 minutes. A train connection would bring him to Toronto In two hours by rail.

25. Legislation will be Introduced immediately by the Quebec government for crea tion of a hydro electric power commission with authority to set up power development plants. Quebec's prospective venture into public ownership of power facilities, as in Ontario, was announced Wed nesday in the Speech from the Throne at the opening of the second session of the province's 20th legislature. Premier Duplessls' decision to have the province develop power in opposition to private companies brought no Immediate response from the three members of his Union Nationale House majority who broke with him because they claimed he refused to enter state ownership. Silent on Details The government remained silent also Wednesday night on the Hydro bill's details.

They were not to be revealed. It was understood, until the premier addressed the House and elaborated on his legislative plans outlined In the speech read by Lieutenant Governor E. L. Patenaude. Of the plan to create a state electrical system, the speech said: 'The government has granted no permit authorizing the development of water powers.

It has authorized certain companies to sell electricity at lower rates, but it does not Intend to stop on the road to urgent reforms. Abuses In the distribution of electricity must cease wherever they exist, and the government is fully determined to fight them strenuously by every means at its disposal, but with all the prudence wherefrom the administrators of public affairs must never depart" less Than A PENNY A DOSE 39 JHE NATIONS REGULATOR preciate enough of flying and the time flying saves who entrain to Buffalo or Detroit for eastern and western plane connections and there are hundreds more who would take to flying if there were a direct aeroplane connection to Toronto. 1 Three companies, two of them large U.
