Canadian Press Despatch.

COBOURG, Ont, April 28.Cross-examlnation of Sir Arthur Currie, former commander of the Canadian Corps, was resumed by W. T. R. Preston when the hearing of Sir Arthur's $50,000 libel action against Mr. Preston and F.

W. Wilson continued today. "Had Sir Arthur any opportunity of replying exhaustively to the remarks of Sir Sam Hughes in the House of Commons in 1920, regarding the operations at Mons?" asked Mr. Preston. At this Juncture, while Mr.

Preston was searching Hansard to find the year of Sir Sam's speech, His Lordship noticed that Frank Regan, defense counsel, was not present in court.

Started Hardware Firm Here in Year 1874 Funeral Will Take Place Monday Afternoon with Masonic Honors.

Enoch Bruce Butterworth, for many years a prominent and successful business man and an outstanding member of the Masonic order, died this morning in a local hospital after an illness of three weeks, in his 82nd year. The funeral will take place on Monday afternoon at 230 from the family residence, 46 Delaware avenue, to Beechwood cemetery, and will be with Masonic honors. The late Mr. Butterworth was born In Port Hawkesbury, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, on May 14th, 1846, the son of the late William Butterworth. In 1857, the family moved to Ottawa and from that date took an active part in the business of the city.

On April 1, 1874, the late E. B. Butterworth, with his two brothers, J. G. Butterworth, now in the coal business, and the late Charles A.

Butterworth, who died 19 years ago, began business on Wellington street as general hardware merchants. Their business developed and work was undertaken on a large scale. One of the first big contracts the firm had was the galvanized roofing for the city hall. The first business was established on Wellington street, between Kent and Lyon streets, but after a year, J. G.

Butterworth retired from active participation and went into the coal business. The remaining two brothers carried on the business, and a foundry was on Le Breton street, where stoves, furnaces, were manufactured. The hardware business was moved to Sparks street, where it was so suc cessful that the firm built the Butterworth block where the Metropolitan building now stands. About IS years ago, four years after the death of his brother, E. B.

Butterworth sold out the business and since then had been retired, except for his investments which were largely in real estate. The late Mr. Butterworth had been a member of the Masonic order for 61 years, having Joined Builders Lodge in 1867. For half a century he had been a past master and had also been honored with the selection as district deputy grand master for the Ottawa district. As a Royal Arch Mason he had been district superintendent of the Ottawa Masonic district.

He was a member of the Knights Templar and was an active 33rd degree Mason. In the Superior Council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, he was grand marshal at the time of his death. He had also been active in the I.O.O.P. and was grand master for Ontario. His first wife died in 1904 and shortly after he was married to Jennie Walker, widow of the late Major Charles Watson, who survives him.

Besides his widow, one sister. Miss Maria Butterworth, 9 Falrbairn avenue; two daughters by the first marriage, Mrs. P. G. Walt and Mrs.

F. X. Plaunt, Clemow avenue, and one brother, J. G. Butterworth, of J.

G. Butterworth Limited. For many years the late Mr. Butterworth had been a member of Christ Church Cathedral, where he had been sidesman for a number of years. He had enjoyed remarkably good health, in fact had never been ill until last Christmas time, since when he had been ailing.

His condition became serious three weeks ago and he was removed to the hospital. His death, which took place at 7.30 this morning, was not unexpected.

CHERBOURG, France, April 28. This morning passed without any sign of the two Polish airmen who hopped off from Le Bourget today on a mysterious flight. Signal stations along the coast from Dunkirk south reported that the flyers were not seen. Weather conditions along the entire coast were ideal, with only a light breeze. ON MYSTERY FLIGHT.

LE BOURGET, France, April 28. Two Polish airmen with transatlantic ambitions hopped off from this airfield at 5.55 a.m. today on a mysterious flight. The flyers, Major Louis Idzikowskl and Major Casimir Kubala, had announced that they would make an all day test flight over the sea coast of the biplane in which they hope to fly to New York by way of Azores. Some persons, however, thought that today's hop-off might be the actual start for America since the plane was fully fuelled and carried food enough for such a venture.

So secretive have the flyers been during their lengthy preparations in France that aviation experts continued doubtful even after the plane had disappeared as to whether the men were testing it or flying for New York. The thoroughness of the tests already given the plane was one of the reasons advanced for presuming that the Poles might keep on going over the Atlantic if they found their 660 horsepower motor working right and the wind and weather favorable. The airmen had inquired fully as to meteorological observations last night and they felt sure flying conditions were good today when they started. They told mechanics, how ever, that they planned to fly until dark. FUeht to Northward.

The plane flew straight northward after rising from the ground easily with only a few mechanics watching. The flyers were presumed to be headed for the region around Dunkirk. From their enquiries among other aviators it was deduced they intended to have a good look at the French coast, swinging east and then south. This would take them over Normandy, Brittany and as far as Brest, from which point they would head for Rochefort and then back to Paris. Thus they would spend from sun up until the early darkness aloft.

Noted Musician States a To Be Good Music Nikolai Sokoloff Says It Is Not Lowering Moral Standard of World and Its Players Are Experts. "Jazz ij just what it is good music in a more embellished form, and its players, mind you, are all experts with astonishing technique and genius," said Nikolai Sokoloff, internationally known musician and conductor of the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, which arrived In the Capital this morning by special Canadian Pacific Railway train from Saratoga Springs, to fulfill a two-day engagement at the Auditorium. It is the first visit to Ottawa of the famous musician and his orchestra, and Mr. Sokoloff evinced keen interest In the Capital City. Of the numerous places he wished to visit, the outstanding is the Parliament Buildings, and he will probably spend some time there on Monday.

"For anyone to say that Jazz music is lowering the moral standard of the world is foolish," said Mr. Sokoloff. "If a person is so weak as to blame Jazz music for corrupting his morals, then he Is possessed of another weakness that he knows not of. Personally, I enjoy bejng at a delightful party where there is Jazz music. It la really charming.

You know, Jazz music is played for the leet, not for the head. If a man or woman becomes affected mentally, then his or her brains must certainly be at the feet. "But if one was to continually listen to jazz music then he might be affected perhaps mentally or bodily. True, the continual listening and dancing to Jazz music would bring to the head the feeling that a tom-tom was everlastingly sounding within the brain, while the body would be affected so that a person would always want to be on the that is, Jumping around erratiilly. But you see, we have the classics, the sym.

phonic music rendered by such an orchestra as mine, to counteract the jazzy numbers, and you will always find that one who has a tendency toward Jazz loves to hear nvmphony. "So It Is all a lot of plllle when nnvone says that Jazz Is ruining the world." One Charge Is Forging Name of N.H.L. Head to Check for 3,000. A smooth young individual, who sailed under the alias of Albert Gannon, and who seems to have had a decidedly prosperous and exciting winter in New York City is being ought in Ottawa by representatives of the New York police department at the request of a number of people, whom he Is alleged to have swindled. Gannon, or whatever his name may be, is wanted in New York for forgery, false pretences and on several other charges.

Gannon, it is understood, reached New York last January and posed as a representative of a Canadian silk establishment, though it has since been learned that he was never identified with the concern he had mentioned. He had a suite In the Waldorf with a couple of sample rooms in the Astor, and had made himself well known to officers of the New York Rangers and American Hockey Clubs. He invariably attended hockey games at Madison Square Garden and had so worked his way into the good graces of the hockey club officials and press representatives that he usually went as their guests. Gannon lavished gifts on many of those, with whom he had become acquainted in New York. He said that his home was in Ottawa and that he was there for the winter in the interests of his firm.

To others, it now turns out, Gannon masqueraded as a special representative of the National Hockey League. He told New Yorkers that he was travelling inspector and organizer for President Frank Calder and to add a few touches of color to his story, he had introduced some of his New York hosts to Tex Rickard, Colonel Hammond, Commissioner Hannon and other officers of the different clubs. Gannon also seems to have been shown great hospitality by a number of Gotham hockey enthusiasts. $3,000 Check Forgery. One of the charges against Gannon is that he forged the name of Mr.

Frank Calder, president of the National Hockey League, to a check for $3,000, which he claimed was in payment for one month's work as organizer and Inspector extraordinary. The check was made out on the blank of a Canadian bank, and left with the owner of the apartment house, where he had leased a sumptuous place, for deposit in the Bank of Manhattan. The apartment house owner gladly accommodated Mr. Gannon with an advance of $800 as the check had arrived, so Gannon said, from Montreal on a Sunday. He discovered that Gannon had no account in the Bank of Manhattan, and then brought the check up to the American Hockey Club for endorsation.

Officers of the Americans informed Gannon's victim that they knew nothing of his whereabouts or his financial affairs and referred him to the police department. Victim Not Alone The New Yorker whom Gannon Tictimized told the police a sad story of how he and the alleged Ottawa man had become very friendly, and that he had drawn the $800 from his apartment house collections to accommodate Gannon with the loan as the latter had shown him a fake telegram from President Calder, ordering him to go to Albany that night in connection with the establishment of a hockey rink there. Gannon disappeared immediately after getting a half-Nelson on the $800, and it then developed that he had worked similar rackets on a number of unsuspecting New York men. He overlooked pay ment of at least two hotel accounts; left a bunch of silk samples in one hostelry, and side-stepped a Broadway theater ticket agency after running up a life-like charge account At least one night club manager is likewise on Mr. Gannon's trail as he posed there as a big puck and ice man from Canada, and was shown every kindness on the strength of it Officials of the American Hockey Club gave the investigators a description of Gannon, but could give them no other Information, while President Calder knew nothing whatever of the man who posed as his agent, never having seen him.

In any event they are paging Mr. Gannon in New York and if he undertakes to return they promise him a welcome that will make the Bremen crew reception as peaceful as a Greenwich Village prayer meeting. Efforts were made yesterday to Identify Mr. Gannon in the Rogues' Gallery of the Ottawa police department, but an oil painting of the missing impostor could not be located.

B. BUTTERWORTH, well known Ottawan, who died early today. Hull Falls Into Line Tonight on Daylight Saving Special Meeting of City Council This Morning Unanimous for Such a Step. Business Men Had Sent Plea for Conformity Would Have Meant Much Confusion Between Two Cities. At a special meeting of Hull city council held this morning, with Mayor Theo Lambert presiding, it was unanimously decided in order to prevent endless confusion that daylight saving in Hull will commence at midnight tonight instead of a week hence as at first decided by council.

The city fathers reached this decision as the result of petitions from leading business men, prominent citizens, the clergy and board of trade, pointing out that unless daylight saving started at the same time in both cities there would be much confusion and inconvenience. Two years ago the city of Hull did not start its daylight saving measure until two weeks after it had been in operation in Ottawa, and the result was far reaching, particularly with regard to Hull scholars attending the university and other Ottawa schools. The period of daylight saving in the province of Quebec is set by provincial regulation and it was for this reason that the Hull city council had ordered It to go Into effect on Saturday next. There was so much protest, how ever, from hundreds of persons in the city that the mayor decided in the case of Ottawa and Hull daylight saving should start at the same time and called a special meeting of council this morning to deal with the question. Kemptville Man May Die After Auto Mishap Wilson Moffatt Stepped in Front of Auto.

KEMPTVILLE, April 28. Wilson Moffatt, a resident of this town, was seriously injured this morning about 10.30, and may die, as a result of being struck by an automobile on the Prescott highway about four miles south of the town. The automobile was owned by Mr. A. D.

McCrea, 47 First avenue, Ottawa, who was en route to Prescott to attend the funeral of a relative. Moffatt. an employe of the Provin cial Highways Department, was en gaged in removing stones from the highway when Mr. McCrea approached in his car and blew his horn. Moffatt apparently became confused and stepped right In the path of the car, which had slowed down, and which struck him in the back, throwing him heavily to the highway.

Mr. McCrea at once stopped his car and the injured man in it, took him to his home, where he was attended by Dr. G. D. Gordon, who found him to be suffering from injuries to his spine and exterior bruis es, the full extent of which have not yet been determined.

Preston: "Was Col. Cy Peck personally present at Mons?" Witness: "No." Mr. Preston: "Then he didn't know anything about it personally?" Sir Arthur declared that Sir Sam Hughes had never applied to him nersonallv for anv information with respect to Mons.

Playing phenomenal golf, Archie Compston, British professional, conquered Walter Hagen in their 72 hole match for 750, beating him, on the first hole of their fouth round today.

is up end 17 to play. Hagen Fought To End. Although Compston put the finish ing touches to Hagen on the first hole after lunch, Hagen struggled to the last. His 25 foot putt for a birdie 3 on the 55th hole banged against the back of the cup and then bounced out, stopping inches away. Comp-ston's long putt was six inches short.

"You'll have to sink it, Archie," said Hagen laughingly. Hagen then rolled his ball in and Compston followed, both men getting 4's. The gallery gave Hagen a burst of applause fcr his dying effort with the putter which had almost kept the match alive, although Compston's lead going into the last round was so high that it was merely a matter of time before the match would end. Hagen warmly congratulated the British golfer on the brilliant playing he had displayed, and the two men then continued playing all bye holes as an exhibition match. Compston announced that he was willing to play, a return match with Hagen or to take on anybody else for a similar distance, a challenge which probably will be accepted by Tommy Armour after the open at Sandwich.

"I'll try to retrieve my reputation at Sandwich," said Hagen later. "I'm going there for a week's solid practice." Compston, after his magnificent playing of yesterday on the first 38 holes, which left him 14 up, resumed his winning stride this morning and at the end of the third round was IS up. Going into the fourth round he needed only a half and this he got, the 55th hole being halved in fours. Compston excelled in driving and on the greens. Hagen displayed a glaring lack of ability to stop a ball on them from an approaching distance.

He was without the putting genius at which heretofore Britain had marvelled. At the first hole Hagen lost today, the thirty-ninth, he missed his putt from a yard. He then practiced five putts from the same position before he sank one. Compston Oat-driven While Hagen was winning his one hole of the round Compston took five. The Englishman took the 43rd with a birdie three and Hagen prac tically gave him the 45th.

As a result of ragged putting Hagen halved the 46th with Compston at three. The big gallery cheered his tee shot on this hole when it stopped within a yard of the pin, but Hagen's putt hung on the edge of the cup and Compston, who was out-driven, was able to make the par figure with Hagen. Hagen In taking his only hole had to lay Compston a dead stymie to get it. After dropping two more holes to the Englishman, the American steadied and halved all five of the remaining holes from the 49th. Hagen came perilously near losing the 155-yard (54th) hole by sending his tee shot to the brink of a big bunker.

It hung here and two more shots enabled him to hole out in a three, halving the hole with Compston. The cards for the second nine holes were: Compston 353 454 543 3670 Hagen .344 554 543 3774 The cards for the first nine holes of today's round: Compston. 443 444 344-34 Hagen 444 444 44537 Quits Int'l Court GENEVA, April 28.
