a a I THE CITIZEN, OTTAWA, CANADA, Jantal: 24, 15-7. TAXIS CANNOT PARK OUTSIDE DEPOT Important Ruling Handed Out by Magistrate Hopewell, The largest docket for many weeks faced Magistrate Hopewell in police court today, but nearly all of the 23 cases were for minor offences. There was an interesting point raised over, taxis at the Union Station. Thomas Larkin, taxi driver, was fined $10 and $2 costs for leaving his taxi in the area designated as a parking place at the station. His, defence was that there are signs which state that the area is for parking for fitteen minutes only.

For the railway company, Mr. A. W. Beament claimed this did not apply to taxis. The Railway Act provides that "private carriages, omnibuses, cabs, baggage wagons and other vehicles are required to stand in such place or places as may be designated by, the railway authorities." Magistrate Hopewell intimated that the signs for fifteen minute parking are a designation but that the clause quoted does not apply to public vehicles such as taxis.

Bernard McGee, 370 1-2 Dalhousie street, was fined $10 and $2 costs for soliciting transfer and taxi business on the station property, Magistrate Hopewell intimated it is nearly time that it is known that taxi and transfer men have no right on the station property unless allowed there by the station authorities. Intended No Reflection. Incidental to these cases, one of the witnesses for the prosecution stepped into the box as the case was called and the deputy chief went to administer the oath. This brought a rebuke from Mr. Beament, who said he was conducting the case and wanted to deal with it in his own way.

Magistrate Hopewell pointed out that the witness was not called by the police and when he went into the box the deputy chief was only doing as he always did. The magistrate said the remarks by counsel were not justified and Mr. Beament said he had intended no reflection on the officer. Mr. S.

Berger, counsel for Philip Weltman, 348 Rideau street, charged with cruelty to a horse, also ran foul of the magistrate when he stated that he could not understand why his client had not been warned instead of being haled to the police court. The evidence was that the horse was left standing in a yard without a blanket but the defence claimed the blanket had been on and had fallen off. Humane Society officers, said Mr. Berger, should consider poor men unable to pay fines as well as poor horses. Other offenders, he said, are allowed to go free and he intimated that if his client, had not offended the inspectors he would not have been brought to court.

Magistrate Hopewell said counsel had no right to make this statement unless he had proof. He found Weltman guilty and imposed a fine of $10 and $2 costs. Dr. L. Mulligan, Humane Society inspector, laid the information.

Liquor Offences. Mrs. George Sorokon, 30 Aberdeen avenue, pleaded guilty to selling liquor and was fined $300, in default three months in jail, and an additional month in: jail. A charge against her husband of receiving liquor was withdrawn. John Boychouk, 509 Arlington avenue, pleaded guilty to receiving liquor and was fined $200 and $2 costs.

Dr. Gordon Henderson, for the accus- red, argued that under the act the minimum fine could be $50, but the magistrate inclined to $200 being the minimum. "Anyway, I am going to decide the point in another way by I making the fine $200 and costs no matter what the minimum is," said the magistrate. Mrs. St.

Pierre, 484 St. Patrick street, found guilty some time ago of receiving liquor, was remanded until the magistrate decided what the fine would be. She has since left the city and this morning when her case was called a fine of $400 or three months in jail was imposed, A charge against Alfred Couturier. 51 Baird street, for having liquor at 484 St. Patrick street, was withdrawn, as was also a charge, against Elle Boileau, 484 St.

Patrick street, who has left the city. Quite a number of vagrancy cases were listed and most of them were remanded for la week. MRS. W. H.

GREEN DIED THIS MORNING Daughter of Late Hon. Thos. White, P.C., M.P. Death this morning removed a respected lady in the person of Annie Johnston White, daughter of the late Hon. Thomas White, P.C., M.P., and widow of the late Rev.

W. H. Green, B.A., late rector of Almonte, who died in that town on the Eve of Ephiphany, 1924. Mrs. Green had been ill for sevetal month, but it was not until a few days ago that her condition became serious.

The end came rapidly, and her passing was received with sincere regret by her many friends in the city. During the lifetime of her husband she devoted her entire time to church work, and found no greater pleasure than that of aiding less fortunate members of her parish. She was a life member of the 1 Women's Auxiliary of the Diocese of Ottawa, and before her illness took a keen interest in social work in the city. She attended All Saints' church. She is survived by one son, Mr.

H. Anson Green; one daughter, Miss Isabel Green; two grandchildren; her mother, Mrs. Thomas White; a brother, Mr. R. S.

White, M.P.; and four sisters, Mrs. John Cotton; Mrs. J. C. Hodgson, of Montreal; Lady Perley and Miss Laura White, of Ottawa; also one nephew, Mr.

T. A. Jarvis, of Bishop's College, Lennoxville. OBITUARY MISS ANNIE SAUVE A striking tribute 1 to the memory of Mrs. Charles Arthur Gagnon, formerly Miss Annie Sauve, was paid this morning when she was 1 laid to rest in Notre Dame cemetery.

A high requiem mass was chanted at the Basilica by Father Hebert, assisted by Fathers Gagnon and Labrosse, as deacon and sub-deacon. The choir, under the direction of Mr. M. F. Champagne and Mr.

Charles Emond, the organist, was in attendance. The beautiful floral offerings and numerous spiritual masses received paid testimony to the high esteem accorded Mrs. Gagnon by all who knew her. She had been a prominent member of the Basilica and taken keen interest in FrenchCanadian circles. The chief mourners were her hus- OERNEWS THE OTTAWA ELECTRIC RAILWAY co.

STILL A CITY AT ONE A.M. OTTAWA The Lake It sometimes happens that a motorist who does not believe in the Beauty Sleep tradition parks his car on Sparks street around one a.m. while he is getting a snack in a lunch room. Under the impression that the street car service is through for the night he often does not consider the angle at which his car is parked, and often at this hour you may observe an automobile with its rear wheels on the car tracks. But the street car service is not entirely suspended at one in the morning.

The workmen's cars, which also pick up passengers out late, have yet to come along. More than once recently the motorman and conduc-. for have had to get out and shift the parked automobile so that they could proceed on their way, May wo. request late lunchers who have to park their cars on Sparks street to see that their automobiles are kept close to the curb. Our carmen will appreelate it.

"We'll finally boycott all these, as we have the Japanese, because they are so polite, well managed, and work so cheap." THE FIRST TAXI. A delver into the writings of Virtruvius, a Roman architect of the first century, B.C, has found references to the taximeter.

The horse chariots were fitted with a device which released a small ball into a box every thousand steps taken by the horse, the cost of transportation being calculated on the number of balls thus dropped. There were no doubt canny travellers in those days who would wait until a horse with a long stride came along. IN CITIES LARGE AND SMALL. Scores of news items like the following appear in the public press: "In accordance with a new traffic regulation recently promulgated by the police department, parking is forbidden on Broad Street, Newark, N.J., in the district between the Lackswanna Railroad Station and Clinton Avenue, and on Market Street from the Pennsylvania Station to the Court House, between 8 and 9 a.m. and between 4.30 and 6 p.m.

From Page One) NATIONALIST MANIFESTO Associated Press Despatch HANKOW, Nationalfist government, in a manifesto issued today, proclaimed its ability to enforce its will in Nationalist China and invited the powers to join it in negotiating with treaties with economic and territorial integrity as their basis. The following are extracts from the declaration: "It is the view of the Nationalist government that liberation of China from the yoke of foreign imperia' need not necessarily involve any armed conflict between Chinese Nationalism. and foreign powers. For this reason the Nationalist government prefers to have all questions outstanding between Nationalist China and foreign powers settled by negotiations. "In order to prove that this is not an idle statement of policy, the Nationalist government hereby declares its readiness negotiate separately with any powers for the settlement of treaty and other cognate questions on the basis of economic equality and mutual respect for each other's political and territorial sovereignty." MAILED FIST IN FOREGROUND SHANGHAI, Jan.

mailed fist, A8 exemplified the armed forces of Great Britain: and Japan thrust itself into the foreground of the Chinese situation today. With additional reports of constantly spreading anti-foreign and anti-Christian agitation, and the success of negotiations for the return of foreign concessions to China undecided at Hankow, both powers made unmistakable military moves yesterday and today, which, however, were described as "merely precautionary measures." From Hong Kong, the British despatched three companies of Punjabi troops to Shanghai, while from the Sasebo naval "station four Japanese destroyers departed for unannounced points in China. In Hong Kong it was stated that the departure of the Indian soldiers marked the start of the movement of quota for the defense of Shanghai, in accordance with an agreement with the United States, France and Japan. This revealed for the first time that the powers had so completely considered the possibility of the foreign settlement being attacked that it had been decided how many men each power should supply for the defense of the concessions. Followed On Disturbance The despatch of the Punjabi troops to Shanghai follows closely a disturbance here Saturday, during which scores were injured when police of the international settlement battled with celebrating tramway strikers.

The move also was considered as being related, along with the varlous military preparations in progress in England, to an official announcement in London several days ago that Great Britain would be forced to protect its interests if the Chinese sought to regain by force concessions which might be regained by diplomatic negotiation. Looting of Churches Missionaries from, interior Fukien stated that the entire province will have been evactiated by Christian Church workers within two weeks. Anti-Christian demonstrations in that province included the recent lootings of churches, hospitals and private residences.

KNOW OF NO AGREEMENT. WASHINGTON, Jan. Admiral Williams, commanding United States forces in Chinese waters, had been consulted by other foreign naval officers on the problem of fending foreign nationals in China should the need arise, the state department said today no formal agreement had been entered into between Great Britain, Japan, France and United States so far as the Washington government is concerned. REFUSE CLEMENCY TO WINNIPEG BANK BANDIT Wilfrid Bonnin, sentenced to be banged at Winnipeg tomorrow, has been refused clemency by the governor -in -council.

AIRMEN THRILL CROWD WITH PERFECT LANDING (Continued From Page One.) at once he was greeted by His Excellency Lord Willingdon, who congratulated him on his safe arrival and skilful landing. Group Captain J. S. Scott of the R.C.A.P.

shook hands warmly with the American pilot, as did Hon. Mr. Foster, and Mr. Hickerson. Word of the starting of the American air squadron was received by Mr.

J. A. Wilson. secretary of the Royal Canadian Air Force shortly before 10 a.m. They left Selfridge Field at 9.10 a.m.

and expected to be here "any time after 12 o'clock." With such poor visibility everyone was gratified by the splendid time made. The landing of the planes was suecessfully accomplished, without mishap of any kind, and the spectators got considerable of a thrill as plane after plane taxied down and after ski-ing some distance on the frozen snow covering the ice, carried by the momentum at which the airmen had been travelling, finally came to a stop In Perfect Formation. Approaching from the southwest the planes were seen to be in a perfect formation of four threes at almost exactly equal distance between each three planes and with each three performing a perfect shape. The planes crossed over the Ottawa River to the Hull side and circled in their original formation back over the Interprovincial Bridge and eastward again for some distance. They they half circled in single file with almost equal precision as to distance between one another.

Major Lanphier's plane was then seen to leave the rest and to dip towards the river, afterwards ski-ing for several hundred yards across the snow. Major Lanphier finished with the nose of his plane within a few yards of the Ketchum boathouse, the recognized landing plane. The planes in their many evolutions formed an almost perfect geometrical design. There was considerable enthusiasm among the huge crowd at the thrilling spectacle. 430 H.P.

Motors. There were 12 Curtiss pursuit planes comprised in the squadron of fighting machines and they were accompanied by one Douglas cargo plane which served the airmen en route. The pursuit planes are known as Curtiss type and are reclared to be the last word in military fighting airplanes. Each machine is driven with 430 horse power motors and is capable of a speed up to 175 miles an hour. Each machine also carried 100 gallons of gasoline and seven galIons of oil.

The hourly consumption of each machine was 20 gallons of gasoline and one quart of oil, cruising at 120 miles an hour, and giving it a normal cruling radius of 600 miles. Each plane was equipped with skiis for landing and taking off. Personnel of Party, The pursuit planes were piloted by Major Thomas Lanphier, who is in charge of the squadron, Capt. H. M.

The cargo plane was flown by Sergt. Byron K. Newcomb and carried five enlisted mechanics, spare engine part, skiis, propellors, and other material. Newspapermen were to have accompanied this plane but on account of heavy supplies needed they had to be refused the privilege. Goodwill Invasion.

The visit of the American planes has been characterized by the organ izers as a "goodwill invasion." In addition to stimulating interest in Canada in aviation both from a commercial and military point of view, I the flight was undertaken by the visitors at this time of year particularly because it was desired to put the speedy planes to the severest test possible 'under Canadian winter conditions, it was stated. The trip was arranged with the approval of the defence departments of both U.S.A. and Canada. Program While in Ottawa. The visitors while here will be the guests of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Shortly after arrival they were taken to Chateau Laurier to be guests of the Rotary Club at the weekly luncheon of the latter. They were afterwards ent: ained to tea at Government House as guests of Their Excellencies, Viscount and Viscountess Willingdon. The visitors will be entertained for dinner at individual house parties by members of the air force. Tonight they will attend the annual Garrison Ball to 1 be held in Chateau Laurier. Anchored to the Ice.

A detachment from Depot No. 1, Royal Canadian Air Force, re-fuelled the visiting airplanes shortly after they landed. They were then securely anchored to the ice. At the landing stage the Americans, escorted across the ice by the Canadian flyers, were received by Major General J. H.

MacBrien, chief of staff; Group Captain J. S. Scott, director of R.O.A.F.: Mayor J. P. Baiharrie; Hon.

The announced arrival of the American flyers early attracted hundreds to the scene and by eleven o'clock the crowds had grown until every available vantage point was black with spectators. The driveway was lined with citizens and the roadways ing down to the river were thronged.

A noticeable feature was the turnout oi youngsters. The coming generation were out for a treat as well as their elders, and every eye scanned the heavens. There was not much to be seen: indeed, even the Parliament Buildings were hidden by a thick haze, and it was freely predicted that the Americans would be very late in reaching the Capital owing to the poor flying conditions. Across the river from Hull poured a steady stream of visitors to the Ottawn side. augmenting the already overflowing gathering and lining the TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY.

The great lampblack circle on the snowy bosom of the river, the aviation sign of landing place, was guarded by a squad of R.C.A.P. men, but the public did not approach within several hundred yards of the spot.

A distant hum gave the first warning of the approach of the planes, and the crowd on the banks of the river rushed on to the ice. A moment later a shout of "There they are!" went up from hundreds of throats as the great flock of birdmen swept out of the haze. The visiting airmen expect to fly from Ottawa to Montreal on Tuesday leaving here at 10 a.m. and arriving at Montreal, about 11 a.m. They will leave Montreal at 9 a.m.

Wednesday for Buffalo, arriving there about 11.45 am. after a 325 miles flight. They will leave Buffalo at 10 a.m. Thursday and expect to return to their base at "Selfridge Field, another 200 miles flight, at 11.45 a.m. that day.

Purpose of the Trip. According to Major Lanphier, the trip was made primarily to ascertain the mobility of the present type of pursuit planes, when equipped with skis, in cold weather. "The purpose of the flight is to provide a practical test in mobility of the planes under the most severe conditions that can be experienced in this region," said Major Lanphier. "Post meteorological records show this time to be the most severe part of the winter season. Previous tests have been conducted, one in 1925 to ascertain the possibility of using the present type of pursuit equipment away from the home base under the conditions of severe cold, and the second, in 1926, to test the armament of the present type of equipment under those same conditions.

"There is also another very important reason for making this flignt into Canada. Frequently representatives of the Canadian government. as well as prominent Canadian citizens, have asked that we visit some portion of Canada during some of our maneuvers to stimulate there greater interest in aviation both commercial and military. "During our visit we plan to interchange the knowledge we have gained from our experiences with the officers of the R.C.A.F., and with the Department of National Defence." There are twenty-seven army aviation fields in the United States and its island possessions, the visitors to Ottawa today being from Selfridge Field, located at Mount Clemens, Mich, U.S. Army Air Force.

Last year the army air force appropriation the United States reached slightly over $15,000,000, which contrasts with $33,000,000 in 1921. This difference was caused by the conditions prevailing after the war. Last year the total number of officers and men in the American air force was 8.723.

Seen From Hull Streets. The arrival of the American planes flying in battle squadron formation attracted much interest in Hull. The hum and the drone of the motors brought many from their homes and it was no unusual sight to see knots of people standing on street corners and peering into the sky as the twelve American planes swept past, and later hovered over sections city. An excellent view of the fliers was obtained from the open space surrounding the Hull court house. From this point of vision the planes appeared to be using the snow white trail of the Ottawa river as a guide and the Interprovincial bridge as a I partial destination point.

The twelve planes flew in military formation on their approach, consisting of units of three each. "They look like blackbirds," remarked one bystander. Going by the Interprovincial bridge at a fairly high altitude the leading unit of three planes broke its straight flight formation and then a wide circling process took place. The leading planes stringing out one after the other into single file, they first rose, then fell, banking over, and ever drawing down toward the snowy surface of the landing place on the Ottawa river. Attracted People Indoors.

From ten to fifteen minutes were required for the last of the planes to pass out the sky line and settle at their landing place. In addition to the interest shown by those on the street and the occupants of public buildings, there was also a great number of householders who hearing the unusual noise of so many aero engines, left their home and standing bareheaded in many instances looked into the sky. Knee Deep In Snow. Out of the snow laden sky, heralded by a buzz as of gigantic bees, they came, the twelve planes, toward Major Hill Park. First noticed in the south they rapidly approached.

Flying in spectacular triple formation, they appeared from Nepean Point as a flock of wild High over Major Hill Park they lengthened into single column and circled far above the Royal Mint, Archives and other buildings on Sussex street, while thousands stood knee deep, in the snow and watched with fascinated gaze the wonderful spectacle. Down they glided, silently and majestically, to their snow blanketed berths. FLEW OVER LINDSAY. LINDSAY, Jan. 24-A squadron of 12 airplanes swooped over Lindsay this morning and caused considerable interest.

Thesy were flying in two formations and were assumed to be from Detroit on their way to Ottawa. most BROWNING SUITS BRING INFLUX TO CARMEL (Continued From Page One) Rumor of Brief Trial, There was only one dark cloud on the horizon of Carmel today and that was a rumor that the trial here would be of brief duration. Only that part of the case, it was understood, which relates to the accusation of Browning that "Peaches" left his bed and board will be held here. For this Browning seeks a legal separation at no cost to himself. The case then is expected to switch to White Plains or Poughkeepsie where "Peaches" was expected to make her answer in her counter claim in which she is expected to ask a liberal separation settlement.

Carmel, apparently has taken the Browning case to its bosom. It has greeted the invading hosts of newspapermen and court attaches with open arms, and incidently with increased room rent and restaurant prices. And the average Carmelite knows his Browning. One cannot walk a block without hearing a discussion not only of Browning's love affairs with his youthful wife, but also details of earlier episodes in the life of the "Cinderella man." Recall All Incidents. They recall the time in 1925 when Browning first advertised for a girl of not more than 16 to become his adopted daughter and companion to Dorothy Sunshine Browning, his 11 year old adopted child.

They recall also how Mary Louise Spas, beautiful daughter of Bohemian immigrant parents. was selected from an army of applicants and how it developed that she was 21 instead of 16. Investigation that followed this disclosure resulted in the voiding of the adoption. It was less than a year later that Browning first met "Peaches" while attending a dance of a school society of which he was a patron. They finally were married before a justice of peace on April 10, 1926, and in October the bride left her husband and their apartment in Kew Gardens, Long Island.

Browning in addition to his legal difficulties with his wife also is a defendant in two damage suits. The one for $500,000 has been filed by Mary Louise Spas, and arises from her brief adoption by the wealthy realtor and the other a asking has been filed by Renee Shapiro, 21, an actress of Brooklyn, who alleges an attack upon her in July, 1923. Hear Evidence of Two Testimony considered "harmless" by counsel for Mrs. Browning and her husband was introduced by two of Browning's employes before adjournment. Edward P.

Carney, New York, who operates Browning's torquoise blue hired limousine, took the stand to say that he had been ordered by Mrs. Browning's mother, Mrs. Catherine Heenan, to take two or three trunks from the Kew Gardens, Long Island, apartment of Mr. Browning to the apartment of Mrs. Heenan in New York.

Carney said he obeyed instructions, and that he heard Mrs. Browning say: "Money isn't everything. I'm tired of it all." He added: "After I got the trunks put away in Mrs. Heenan's place, I asked if there was anything to do, and Mrs. Heenan said 'no' and that Peaches was sick and tired of it all, and that they were not going back." John T.

Gorman, secretary to Browning since September, 1925, testified that in October he had been called to the telephone in Browning's real estate office one day "listen to this." He said on the extension he heard Browning ask to speak to his wife, and Mrs. Heenan said that Mrs. Browning did not desire to speak to her husband and that, besides, "Peaches" was through. After a short examination by Epstein, the two witnesses were dismissed, and BrownTing's counsel rested. Mr.

Browning's entrance to the courtroom was the occasion for a prolonged handclapping on the part of the women, many of whom were elderly far mwomen, roughly dressed. Mrs. Browning appeared without any public ovation. She cried profusely during the first few moments in court. GEORGE YOUNG'S PAL HAS FILM CONTRACT Bill Hastings to Appear in Movies.

Associated Press Despatch. HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 24 William Hastings, pal of George Young on the long motorcycle trek from Toronto, to California, has reached the parting of the ways with his former comrade, he disclosed today in announcing he had signed film contract for a picture in which the 17-year-old winner of the $25,000 Santa Catalina swim will not appear. The contract will pay young Hastings a minimum salary of $300 a week with a fifty per cent. interest in the profits of the film.

The Scientific American has compiled the following statistics of fatal accidents: Aeroplane-One killed out of every 24,452 carried. Steamship--One out of every 973,436. Railroad--One out of every 800. Electric cars--One out of every 422,460. The figures for automobile fatalities cannot be obtained in this form, but the percentage is known to be much higher than in the case of vehicles operated by trained employes.
