Will Speak on Fire Hazards Inspector Mclcaap rl ilio water on the head of one of the marketers, adding insult to injury. Dobbin's driver was laughing triumphantly; the two enraged owners of the greens edged away from the tank, stood below the wagon and, waving their fists, called upon the driver to "climb down and have your head punched!" A crowd was gathering; the driver grabbed his whip menacingly. In the meanwhile, his horse had succeeded in grabbing three more mouthfuls of the luscious greens.

Strategically, the marketers abandoned their threatened assault on the driver to rescue the rest of their greens floating in the tank. With an ironic "Ha! Ha!" the driver called out "Giddap!" and away went Dobbin, munching on his last batch of drug count" Interrupted Butler, "he swore to his mcther that he would 'get His mother told" that to Sgt. Shanahan drug squad officer)." "You're a liar," cried Goldberg. "If you had been a man," Recorder Plante said to Goldberg, "you would have said after coming out of jail: 'I've paid my debt to society, and I'll forget all and begin That's nard to dc. I realize it.

But you assaulted the informer; you just as well have assaulted the judge who sentenced you. "I must punish you. You should get six months; I was going to give you six months, but the mere presence of your weeping mother outside in the corridor leads me to cut four months from your sentence. Two months in jail." Trial Over Indecent Show Charged with presenting an indecent show, George Henry and Foster Goldthorpe were ordered by Judge Jules Desmarais yesterday to stand trial at the next term of the Court of King's Bench. Queenie Rosenberg, cw-accused who pleaded guilty to a similar charge recently, was freed on a suspended sentence.

Henry and Goldthorpe gave their addresses as 1465 MacKay street and 909 Calumet street, respectively. Inspection of Sea Cadets annual inspection of the Sea Cadet Corps by Military District No. 4 will be held at 8 o'clock this evening at Queen's School, said. "We will agree that a claim of provocation is far-fetched, bul we have no use for informers; they are a necessary evil "Not an Court admonished. "They are not the kind of people 1 would want to associate with, but they must do their work." Goldberg interrupted to say that Butler had gone out of his way to taunt him.

to stare at him. to arouse hatred of the man who had convicted him. "Why, when he acted as informer and got me convicted." he said, "I was getting away from dope: I was only usinsr codeine, and he induced me to buy morphine, and thus made a case against Mr. Gameroff: "Accused has a job now: he is trying to get away from his former habits. He has already been in jail nine days awaiting this trial.

Here is a chance for court to put a man back on his feet aeam." Recorder Plante: "But assault was committed, and the right eye of Butler may be aflected for life." Mr. Gameroff: "Butler has civil recourse." Goldberg: "1 didn't want to beat him; but he was leering at me. fce was antagonistic" He denied that he had had anything in his hand when the blows were struck. "Knuckle-dusters," retorted Butler. Court thought that it could not be lenient "this assault was premeditated; Goldberg was nursing a bitter grudge against the informer upon whose evidence he was sentenced to a year in jail.

It is obvious that he saw Butler on Bleury street, near Ontario, and deliberately followed him down to Dorchester street, where the assault was committed." "HE SWORE HE'D GET ME" "The day he was convicted on the Gets Two Months for Assault on Informer Who Convicted Him PLEADS PROVOCATION Says Complainant 'Gloated' Over Him, But Judge Finds Attack Premeditated and Unprovoked Convicted in Recorder's Court in July, 1934, of illegal possession of morphine and sentenced to 12 months in the Montreal Jail at Bordeaux, Phillip Goldberg, alias Jack Harrison, who had had previous convictions recorded against him for possession of drugs, theft, picking pockets and shop-lifting, was freed in July, 1935. Last month on Dorchester street west, near Bleury street, he saw Charles Butler, the police informei upon whose evidence he had been convicted on the 1934 drug count, and brutally assaulted him. Standing trial before Recorder Leonce Plante in Recorder's Court yesterday afternoon, he was found guilty of the assault charge, sentenced to two months in jail, and told: "1 was going to give you six months, but the mere presence of your weeping mother outside in the corridor leads me to cut four months from your sentence." On the day of the assault, Butler told the court, he had first sighted Goldberg on Bleury street, near Ontario street; he ignored him, and walked southwards onto Dorchesiet street when he was violently attacked, his assailant fleeing. Lapierre happened along, and took Butler to the Central Division of the Montreal General Hospital, where he underwent lengthy treatment for a broken bone to the right of his right eye, stitches over the eye and a hemorrhage. Doctors expressed the opinion that no bare fist could have caused such lacerations, that something like brass-knuckles must have been used by the assailant.

"Were you the man who sent Goldberg to jail for 12 months?" Myer Gameroff, attorney for the accused, asked Butler. "That has nothing to do with this case," Court ruled. "Did you go cut of your way to stare at Goldberg on the street?" Mr. Gameroff continued, hinting that Butler's gloating over his onetime "victim" might have precipitated the assault. "No," was the answer of the police informer.

The 100th case made by the sales, tax division of Montreal's Department of Finance against Verdun merchants for non-observance of the sales levy ordinance, By-Law No 1893, was heard in Recorder's Court yesterday. Defendant, ironically enough, was the Ferland Corset Company, Limi- ted, 4611 Wellington street, owned by Mayor Herve Ferland, of Verdun, one-time chief arch-enemy of the sales tax, who, upon its inception in' 1935, led an abortive "strike" against imposition of the tax in Verdun.

The Ferland revolt collapsed when the city summoned merchant after merchant to Recorder's Court and pyramided them with fines of $40 and costs, or issuance of warrants of seizure, and when the Superior Court definitely ruled against the Ferland plea of unconstitutionality of the by-law. The Ferland company was convicted by default on a charge of infraction of Article 30 of the bylaw through failure to submit to the City Hall reports as to sales lax collections during January. Febru ary and March last Recorder Leonce Plante fined it $20 and costs, or issuance of a warrant of seizure. $1 Bounty for Stray Dogs Marshfield. June 4.

H. D. EVANS, Prop. I kJ. A 1 .1 VaT 1 3 rescue Judge Agrees With Defence Contention That Frank Wilke Jay-walked Suit by Frank Wilke, barber, for $13,610 damages for injuries suffered when struck by an automobile owned by Jean Ruffo and driven by his son, Emile, yesterday was dismissed by Chief Justice Greenshields of the Superior Court.

The court agreed with Leo LEs-perance, counsel for the defendants, that Wilke was entirely to biame for the accident himself, because of jay-walking, Chief Justice rendering judgment rejecting the claim almost immediately following the hearing. The accident took place April 15, 1935, as Wilke was crossing St. Denis street. He alleged he crossed the street at the intersection of De Castelnau street, when he was struck by the Ruffo car. He was obliged to spend 138 days in hospital, and contended he was entitled to damages on the ground of negligence on the part of the driver of the car, with liability also falling upon the owner.

The claim was fought with the assertion mat wilke crossed the street at a point considerably south of the intersection of De Castelnau street, and that he suddenly appeared in front of a tramcar which the Ruffo automobile was following. Mr. L'Esperance admitted Wilke suffered injury but denied his, clients were responsible. The court agreed and dismissed the suit.

The information was gleaned from old minute books read into the record by J. C.

McRuer, K.C. counsel kwith Elie Beauregard, K.C, to Mr lJustice W. F. A. of Sas katchewan.

Led by F. B. Mathys, who is at fcresent taking a prominent role as representative or tne committee fi'or Public Protection of Real Estate in the agitation for a reformed city administration, these share- Holders held a protest meeting the Windsor Hotel and refused to enter into the agreement. It was only by February, 1917, that the last of their shares were exchanged, thus giving Dominion Textiles complete ownership of the old company. At the annual meeting of the Dominion Cotton Mills Company on April 25, 1905, F.

B. Mathys, as spokesman for the minority group, objected to the directors recommending the exchange at the agreed figure when "last year these -same directors told us the shares were worth 129 cents on the dollar. It may be a pleasure to the directors to make their recommendation, but it is certainly no pleasure to us." Mr. Mathys also found fault with the fact that the directors held only $60,000 in stock out of a total capitalization of $3,033,600 when their approval to the bargain was urged. The shares had been selling -at $130 on the open market previously, he charged, and the directors had dumped their holdings at that price, merely retaining 50 shares apiece so they could remain on the board and draw directors' remuneration.

Dominion Textiles had been incorporated by C. B. Gordon, now Sir Charles; H. S. Holt, now Sir Herbert; Rodolphe Forget, now Sir Rodolphe; David Yuile, G.

A. Grier, Hon. Robert Mackay, F. C. Hen-shaw, George CaverhUl, J.

P. Black, D. Williamson, Hon. L. J.

Forget, H. H. Meredith, S. Carsley, David Mor-rice, James Rodger, and John Bail-lie. On January 27, 1905, their subscribed preferred shares were alloted and issued.

WATERED STOCK CHARGED. Mr. Mathys's opposition also led him to ask the question: "We know that the incorporators of Dominion Textiles are subscribing at par for their 5,000 preferred shares, but what are they getting for their common stock? We have heard complaints that busines is not good because there is not sufficient protection; I am a protectionist on principle, but not of watered stock." In November of the same year, when the new firm had control of a majority of the stock in the absorbed concern, the directors of Dominion Cotton Mills Company proposed to lease its plants to the parent company at a yearly rental of four per cent, on the issued stock and interest on outstanding bonds. This was also considered outrageous by Mr. Mathys and his mir.oi-ily group, who took the matter into the courts.

A Mr. Archambauit, one of the dissenters, claimed "this puts us entirely in the hanos of the leasing company." When the matter came up lor hearing, the trial judge ruled in favor of the dissenting stockholders. In appeal, the court of review reversed the decision two to one, and the litigation was carried as far as the Privy Council in England, which in 1912 upheld the validity of the lease. As for the Merchants Cotton Company, Limited, another absorbed firm, minority group of shareholders also objected to the exchange terms and the lease of its plant on similar terms, and it was after 1919 before Dominion Textiles gained full ownership of all the shares. Purchase price in this instance was 85 cents on the dollar, and exchange of bonds at par.

There was no litigation so far as this was concerned. Records of the remaining two concerns Montmorency Cotton Mills Company, Limited, and Colonial Bleaching and Printing Company, Limited will be read at continued sittings of the Commission. HISTORICAL SIDELIGHTS. interesting historical sidelights were revealed in the minutes of the two companies, which dated back to 1872. Away back in 1892 there was agitation about the low tariff on cotton goods; in the same year gas lighting replaced coal oil lamps "wnicn nave oeen giving much trouble" in the mills of Dominion Cotton Mills Company; the smallpox epidemic of 1885 was mentioned; in October, 1901, an advertisement in the financial columns of The Gazette was referred to announcing the passing of a dividend: in 1902, complaint was registered because of the fact that the price of raw cotton inventories had slumped, whereas in 1905 the cry was to the effect thst raw cotton was too high in price.

Further details on the financial history of Dominion Textiles will be heard by the Commission today. Sir Herbert S. Holt, who has been subpoenaed as a witness, will take the stand at two o'clock in the afternoon. Dominion Textiles Is represented by Aime Geoffrion. K.C, C.

May Limit Relief Grant Edmonton, June 4. W) Edmonton's City Council next Monday will discuss tne advisability of Imposing a maximum relief grant on families. It was disclosed last night the relief expenditures for the first four months of 1936 totalled $140,554 while only 1100.000 had been placed In the tax levy for the year. A swarm of bees recently travelled by airplane from Rhodesia to London. Below Champ de Mars on Craig street, in the shadow of Montreal's Old Court House and the City Hall, lies a running water tank for the benefit of thirsty horses; it is a familiar and welcome sight to many a passing steed.

But drivers and carters are now indignantly complaining to policemen that people buying greens-lettuce, onions, spinach, carrots ana beets at nearby Bonsecours Market are virtually monopolizing tht horses' tank to wash and rinse their vegetables in. And their horses must meekly stand by until these marketers have rinsed the soil from their greens. Yesterday morning, there was a near riot-in-miniature about the tank when one driver edged his horse right up to the tank, regardless of the fact that people had it nearly full of lettuce, spinach and beets being rinsed and washed. The horse's snout was poked in between both busy early-morning market buyers, and Dobbin not only gulped down water but also emerged with a sizeable mouthful of greens; he chewed it up contendedly. and dribbled down AUTO HITS WOMEN; ERROR OVER SIGNAL Two Taken to Hospital After Car Starts Unexpectedly at Crossing Misunderstanding of a traffic officer's signal resulted in two women being struck by a woman driver on Park avenue, north of Bernard avenue, at 12.20 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

A third woman pushing a baby carriage just avoided being hit while the baby was uninjured though the carriage was struck and damaged. The injured women were taken to Royal Victoria Hospital by ambulance and admitted to the Montreal Neurological Institute with serious head injuries. The injured are Mrs. M. Cousin-eau, 65, of 5579 St.

Urbain street, and her daughter. Miss Emelie Cousineau, 42, of the same address. The elder woman also received injuries to her legs. The driver, Mrs. Merineau Le-pine, of 1006 Laurier avenue east, was travelling south on Park avenue.

She brought her machine to a stop at Bernard avenue where traffic Constable Lortie was on duty. He claimed she started again without receiving his signal and ran down the women who were crossing the street. The driver said she saw the signal to proceed. Mrs. L.

Cohen, of 5826 Park avenue, was crossing the street with the baby carriage and had just time to jump out of the way, but could not save the carriage from being struck. At the hospital it was reported that the full extent of the women's injuries had not been determined, but they may have fractured skulls. THE CIVIL COURTS SUPERIOR COURT PRACTICE DIVISION.

WEST INDIES SPIRIT IN SPORTS PRAISED James C. Britton Speaks at Kiwanis Club Colleen Moore Heard A spirit that was lacking in athletics in the Dominion was to be found in the West Indies, where the people play the game for the game's sake, James C. Britton, former star football player for Balmy Beach, Argos and Queen's University, told yesterday's luncheon meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Montreal, in the Windsor Hotel.

Mr. Britton, former Canadian assistant trade commissioner, at Trinidad, spoke briefly on "Internationa! Sport," but added high praise for tne great natural beauties oi all the West Indian islands. "The West Indies is a paradise for the gentler sex," he said, pointing out that the servant problem was solved readily and economically. Every form of sport from horse-racing to swimming is indulged in everywhere throughout the West Indies, and there is certainly a new slant to be learned on sport from the people, he said. Mr.

Britton has been transferred to Johannesburg, South Africa, and will leave Montreal shortly. A cordial welcome was accorded Miss Colleen Moore, who, in an address on "The Truth About Hollywood," spoke on the personalities of many famous screen stars, and described their hobbies. "Screen stars work harder than members of any other profession." she declared. It was announced by President T. Havill that the Kitsilano Boys' Band of Vancouver, champion boys' band of North America, will play in Fletcher's Field, Fridav evening.

He is reported to have a fractured pelvis and, possibly, internal injuries. Bassett was at work with a gang of men in digging the trench for sewer pipe when the earth caved in. He was employed by the Mont real riaroor commission.
