David McMillan that the Carling avenue buses stop on the east side of the Pretoria avenue bridge, instead of at' the west end, said if the lift bridge was operated when the bus was on the east side, the service would be disrupted. He also expressed the opinion that the present stop did not interfere with general The board will have the traffic department to have a report made as to the last point. J. Fenton Argue, chairman of the committee on superannuation for. the Carnegie Library Board, wrote that it was not the intention of the board to start a superannuation scheme this year owing to the fact that an overdraft of $5000 from last year had to be met out of an appropriation lower than the Ontario statutory provision.

The board is asking the approval of City Council so that the fund may be commenced next year. The city solicitor will make a report. Capt. J. H.

Stothers, for the Ottawa Pigeon and Pet Stock Association, was granted permis sion to conduct a lawn show in Lansdowne Park on the afternoon of July 1st.

Rental For Shacks. Dr. T.

A. Lomer, medical officer of health, reported that shacks on the river bank at the old Ottawa Rowing Club property, now owned by the city were not insanitary and he did not favor ordering the four tenants out on this score. The "board decided to charge a nominal rental of $5 or $10 a year. Ottawa garbage wagons may be placed on rubber tires. The city called for tenders for ten gears for new wagons and only tender received.

Tudhope-Anderson Company, Limited, Orillia, offered the gear with steel tires for $3396 or with solid rubber tires for $4229.34. The commissioner of works will be asked for a report. Percy Bedford complained to the board that some, men on relief when they called for their order scrip on say Friday were told they would have to come back on Monday and that then they got the scrip to cover a period from Mon day Instead of from Friday. He said that families thereby lost three days relief but for economic fear they did not complain to the Board of Control. Con.

Dunbar did not accept the statement as fact and said if the arrangement was as stated, someone would be punisnea. tit also said no one on relief had any cause to fear the Board of Control. The complaint will be investigated. Reformatory Term For Passing Worthless Checks On two charges of obtaining money and goods by false pretences, Wilfrid Gorman, 21 years, 883 Somerset street, pleaded guilty before Magistrate Strike and drew a reformatory term of one year definite and not more than one month Indeterminate thereafter. On June 16th he raised $42.50 on a worthless check, and three days later, also on a worthless check, he obtained goods valued at $3 and $34.50 in money, On Ottawa Market Con.

E. A. Bourque in the Board of Control yesterday afternoon said he had complaints from Ottawa musicians that they were unable to get engagements from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation although they, contended they could put on as' good programs as are presented by orchestras and musicians from other cities. The board will pass the complaint on to the commission. After consultation between Con.

G. M. Geldert and T. A. Hand, acting market superintendent, the following locations for the leased stalls on the market were reported to the Board of Control and were approved: Flowers, George street from William to Suwex; ers, Market Square from George to York; meat, part of the west side, all the north and all the east side of the new market building under the canopy; farmers, York street, platforms one and two; wholesale fruits and vegetables, York street, platform No.

Held, commas sloner for the Mothers' Allowance Commission, reminding him that while in Toronto he had promised the city would provide accommodation for the government Inspectors.

Miss Held said Mrs. McEvoy of Westboro, and Mrs. Roger de Puyjalon, 343 Nelson street, had been appointed Inspectors, and asked where they would be located. The board will offer them desk room in the offices now occupied by the local board. Gladstone Ave.

Widening. Judgment has been reserved by the Ontario Municipal Board on the application by the city to defer the proposed- wlgeuins -f Gladstone avenue from Bank to Elgin street until Jan. 5th, 1941. In notifying the Board of Control F. B.

Proctor, K.C, city solicitor, said the chairman stated that it might be well for the city to abandon the proposition. Mr. Proctor said the widening could be aban doned on a two-thirds vote of City Council and with the leave of the Ontario Municipal Board after hearing the property owners interested if there were exceptional reasons not apparent when the bylaw was first passed. The city, however, would be obligated to pay any damage to property which might have resulted from the passing of the bylaw and its subsequent abandonment, the Ontario Municipal Board to decide nuiuuut ul uauittKCs. Luu.

Geldert was in favor of dropping the widenmg but Con. Dunbar advised that the three year exten sion be obtained. It was decided to have the city solicitor report as to what damages the city might have to pay if the street were not widened. After the passing of the bylaw a large apartment was set back and it is understood other construction has been delayed. T.

A. Hand, acting market superintendent, recommended that the hay scales be moved from the market to Court street so that one of the scales could be closed. Con. Dunbar said it would be killine on horses in the winter to force farmers to cross Rideau street from the market to get hay weighed. The board also thought there would be interference with Rideau street traffic and the recommendation was not enter tained.

Operation of Buses. In reply to a recent letter from the board asking if the Ottawa Electric Railway Company was I the city. Street car service to Rockcliffe was suspended for more than three hours during the fire. Buses however, ran a sen-Ice from the John street office to the Buena Vista station. Several company officials, to eluding Major Burpee, visited the scene of the fire while It was In progress.

Germans and Italians Leave Spanish Patrol (Continued From Page One.) Ships Ordered Away. In Rome, it was reported reli. ably that the Italian warships had been ordered completely out of Spanish waters as a result of the -power dcaslocE cver the Ger man "demonstration" demand. German warships assigned to Spanish waters moved eastward through the Mediterranean, their destination undisclosed. The British foreign secretary told the Commons that German Foreign Minister Konstantln von Neurath had informed him of the recall of German ships "with the specific intention of avoiding the possibility of aggravating the sit uation." Germany, von Neurath added.

would "confine herself to this ac tion." Previously, Berlin had heard unconfirmed rumors of a possible Italo-German blockade of the Spanish government Mediterran ean coastline rumors now apparently dispelled. To Avoid "Red Aggression." The concerted action of Ger many and Italy was in keeping with their "defensive understanding" on Spanish and other prob lems. Both said they were "obliged" to recall theit i.atol avoid new "Red aggression" by Spanish government armed forces. Spanish government airplanes in recent weeks have bombed Italian and German men o'war in the patrol, and the German government contends a Spanish submarine tried to sink the patrolling cruiser Leipzig off Algeria on two occasions in the last eight days. Eden's exposition of the situ ation before the House of Commons included a statement that the British government "gladly recognized and welcomed the motives" of Germany and Italy, "which inspire assurance" there now will be no dangerous action on the part of the Nazi and Fascist states.

Worries Seem Baseless Europe has been worried lest the Germans and the Italians, angered by Anglo-French refusal to "demonstrate" with them in warning to the Spanish republican regime, resort to individual action that would make the Spanish civil war even more dangerous to European peace. Apparently this is not to be the case. Great Britain, however, now is faced with a decision to scrap neutrality control, carry it on with France alone, or get other powers in. Eden assured the Commons it was his understanding Germany and, by inference, Italy, would not "cease participating In the nonintervention committee." He refused to answer a question by Communist William Gallacher as to "whether there is any truth at all in the German story about Leipzig." The question of asking other governments to participate in the neutrality control scheme in place of Germany and Italy will "have to be considered," he said. Margaret K.

Liberty's Pupils Give Recital Showing a year of great pro gress In musicianship the pupils of Miss Margaret K. Liberty pre sented an interesting recital on Tuesday evening at the Ottawa Ladles' College. Hard work during the year culminated in an attractive program. The pupils seemed at ease at the piano and played with enthusiasm and good command. A feature of the evening, outside of the solo playing, was the rhythm band composed of ten children, all industriously using some form of percussion Instrument.

Ruth Delahaye and Shirley Fawcett were the two who led the band to victory. This type of music teaches a basic form of music-rhythm in an enjoyable method. Sparkle and dash marked the playing of the older children. nvri itflV v-. interpretations brought but the theme of their numbers clearly.

During the evening a lovely gift of flowers was presented to Miss Liberty from her Those who took part in the program were: Nanette Oreacen, Laurie Liberty, Marion Greacen, Rutn Delahaye, Janet Smart, Eve lyn Fee, Shirley Fawcett, Gerry Fawcett, Harry Bulptt, Doris Ann Dunlop, Mary Ann McPhee, Bar bara Davis, Marion Watt, Betty Ann Stapleton, Gwendolyn Smart, Ethel Berry, George Hay and Betty Sharpe. 40 lrs Total Loss in Fire of Unknown Origin (Continued From Page One.) Seemed to Be In Car. Capt. Harris said that on his arrival that the fire seemed to be in and around a street car just inside the main door of the central section of the barns. It is possible someone had been sleeping in the car.

The building Is divided Into tin cfr sections with- solid brick partitions one foot thick between each section, and Is about 20 feet high. The roof was a tar and gravel flat roof. Fire's Rapid Progress Capt. Harris said that when he arrived at the barns one of the doors had either partly burned through or was open so that he could notice a street car inside. The flames had extended to the roof and had spread Into the second section to the south before any water could be poured Into the barns.

The entire length of two sections of the 300 foot building was a mass of flames shortly after the firemen arrived. The northern section of barns was slightly riamPBPd at the back. Thpre were no strpet. cars in this section, it being used only to store snow boxes, etc. Burned Itself Out The barns are outside the city in Rockcliffe Park and the firemen were forced to resort to the old expedient of letting the fire burn itself out while they prevented Its spreading.

The nearest hydrant is at McKay and Sussex streets, a distance of 2.500 feet. It took hose from two trucks to make one line from this hydrant to the barns. While ordinarily in the neigh borhood of 12 to 15 streams would have been used in a fire of such proportions, firemen found it pos sible to put only four lines in op eration. They had two pumpers and two streams from each, each line being 2,500 feet or more long. Fire Breaks Up Meeting Chief 'J.

J. O'Kelly, on learning of the fire, responded and assumed charge of operations Twenty-five firemen who were off duty were holding a meeting in No. 8 station. The fire broke up their meeting and all went to help the men who had responded. This overcame the necessity of calling out men from additional stations.

Three Cars Saved Three of the cars from the barns were saved by an O.E.R. crew who happened to arrive there just after the firemen. Ac cording to Major F. D. Burpee, general manager, these men had been sent to the storage barn to get one car and on arrival set to work and saved the three cars before they were beaten back by the heat.

These cars included two of the old wooden single truck type, numbers 84 and 88, and number 600, of semi-steel con struction. Practically all the company's rolling stock not in everyday use was stored in the Rockcliffe barns. It was estimated there were in the neighborhood of 40 of the older type of cars stored there. Old-type Cars In the central section of the barns about 24 cars were located, of which 14 were semi-steel construction and the remainder were of the older type wooden ears, Practically all were of the single truck style. The south section housed about an equal number of cars.

About zo oi tne cars were ready for use at an Instant's no tice. As there was no power on in the barns, the O.E.R. crew had to climb the pole on which the cutoff switch was located and turn on the power before they removed the three street cars. After a hard battle the firemen prevented the flames from spreading into the north section which was burned in the 1932 Are. The barns are located on the edge of the beautiful park Just off Sussex street but the flames did not damage any of the trees as the firemen kept them from spreading.

No Effect on Service As far as the operation of the railway is concerned, the fire will not have any effect as all the roll ing stock used in regular and extra service is housed at the Cobourg, Albert and Champagne barns. Even the sweepers end RIEDMAN' PRICE-RITE DRUGS 1ST Bank St. non Near Laurier SULK OF MAGNESIA Circus Procession Today is circus -day in Ottawa. The gigantic Cole Brothers- Beatty show came to town early this morning and in remarkably quick time the lot at Plouffe Park was transformed Into a great stage where the biggest show in -North America Is' giving performances this afternoon and evening. Employes of the circus worked at the double-quick to have everything ready for the parade through the city streets at 10.30 o'clock.

There weren't any "old" people watching that parade. Everyone whose memory went back to the good old days when a circus was THE show of the ymT; Ores-. ups elbowed and shoved around just as eagerly as the children to get a look at the procession. The parade left the circus grounds at 10.30 o'clock In order to be In the uptown streets bs 11 o'clock, and was distinguished by its open edges and dens, the beauty, of the horses in line, the smart appearance of the riders and the attractiveness of the women folk atop the wagons, floats and allegorical units. The procession was fresh-looking, splc and span, despite the fact that the big show has been travelling since last fall.

Big Kick For Kiddles. The kiddies got a big kick when the elephants swung into view. There was quite a number of them, and the mighty animals plodded along tail to tail in perfectly-trained manner. Some of the crowd liked the circus band best, some the beautiful red and gold wagons and floats, others the handsome horses, and some the gorgeous costumes and stunning women who wore them. But the kiddies liked the clowns Levi," tile clown band, and the monkeys who jabbered away excitedly.

It seemed like every youngster in town was trying to follow the little red and gold wagon drawn by eight Shetland ponies. A large crowd followed the parade throughout the route and returned with It to the circus grounds. Many of the kiddles disappoint ed because Ken Maynard. the screen cowboy, and Clyde Beatty, the animal trainer, were not in the parade. It was explained that actors in a circus seldom turn out for parading purposes.

Since the Duke and his bride took up residence in the quiet of their honeymoon retreat Castle Wasserleonburg they have successfully avoided the public limelight. At present they are. enjoying a carefree life and have sought to impress upon their intimates they wish for nothing more than to be "left alone with their happiness." Expect Royal Visitors.

In a recent press interview, the Duke's equerry, Dudley Forwood, announced that the Duke and Duchess did not plan to return to England In the near future. They expected a visit, however, from some members of the British royal family during the summer. According to reports from London, the Duke and Duchess of Kent and possibly the Princess Royal may be the visitors. It is understood the Duke of Kent had planned to act as groomsman at the wedding, but was persuaded to postpone his meeting with his brother. It Is definitely known that the Duke of Windsor plans to stay at Wasserleonburg for the next three months.

During that period, he and his wife plan a number of trips to prominent resorts, such as Venice and Dalmatia. In the autumn the couple will leave the castle, but remain in Austria for the winter. They will spend part of the winter skiing in the Austrian Alps. Referring to the Duke's statement at Cande that he and the Duchess planned to spend "a private and useful life," Forwood declared the Duke might devote himself to charitable work. At the moment, the plans were not definitely mapped.

"He is getting a well-earned rest and enjoying the beauties of the countryside around Castle Wasserleonburg," Mr. Forwood said. Body of Canoeist Is Found at Paugan Falls Special to The Evening Cltlxen. ORACEFIELD, June 23. The body of Joseph Lafontaine.

Mr. Bremner is chairman of the organization's Canadian public affairs committee.

MtM.u..il far the project has advanced, and the present, intention Is that the province does not take over the county work.

Council Is Itawly.To Take Action in Strike at Renfrew (Continued From Page One.) May Reopen Friday There is a possibility the textiles plant may reopen on Friday morning. Thomas Cuthbertson, manager of the mill, is back in Renfrew and is to give the decision of the board of directors to the demands of the strikers for higher wages and better working conditions at two o'clock tomorrow af- Iteiauun. The Evening Citizen re porter nas been in communication with Mr. Cuthbertson but he does not care to intimate what his answer will be. There was no activity around the Renfrew Woollen Mills plant this morning.

It was shut down Tuesday morning when 110 strikers seeking better wages failed to be at their posts, This failure meant that the company's ulti matum that the plant would be closed indefinitely if the workers were not on hand at seven o'clock yesterday morning was in effect. Walt Mr. O'Brien's Return In an Interview with The Even ing fTIHzAn mano. fger of the wooilea mills', said: Any further statement will have to come from head offices at Ottawa. I am not certain when J.

Ambrose O'Brien, president of M. J. O'Brien, Limited, will be back. The closing down of the Carleton Place mill of the Renfrew Woollen Mills, is entirely separate from the situation here. Any amplification of this statement must come from head office, as well as any further statement In connection with the strike situation.

We are simply carrying out instructions at the moment." Refusing to state what action might be taken as to the reopening of the plant here If the strikers decided to return to work, Mr. Southern asserted that any decision regarding the rescinding of the shut-down order would have to come from Mr. O'Brien. Mr. Southern denied he made any references to the Carleton Place situation last night.

Maloney Denies Charge. In long distance communication with The Evening Citizen, James A. Maloney, legal representative of the Woollen Mills strikers, emphatically denied a charge made by Dr. J. J.

McCann, M.P. for South Renfrew, that he made the strikers pledge to refrain from attending any meetings during his absence. "I never exacted any such promise," stated Mr. Maloney. "Dr.

McCann has been misinformed." Dr. McCann made the statement at a meeting of 75 workers last night, which had hoped to take some definite step towards asking Mr. O'Brien to rescind his shut-down order. But lack of attendance by strikers at the meeting prevented this. There was considerable conjecture here as to what would happen if the Renfrew Woollen Mills plant remained closed insofar as the question of assessment was concerned.

After being previously defeated, a resolution fixing the plant's assessment at $5,000 was passed by the town council on October 14. 1930. The fixed assess-ment was to remain in effect for period of ten years provided the plant remained in operation. Renfrew merchants have been complaining that business has taken a turn for the worse since the strike began, but there appeared nd sign it would be terminated for a few days at least. Should Mr, Maloney and the strikers' committee return this' afternoon from Toronto, where they are interviewing E.

J. Young, chairman of the Ontario Industrial Labor Board, a meeting of strikers in the Woollen Mills will be held tonight. If they return too late, this meeting will be held tomorrow. Meanwhile, plans are under way for another citizens and workers' meeting in Temperance Hall to night. Merchants particularly are desirous pf contacting Mr.

O'Brien the hope the plant might be reopened without further hardships beinff ftcurred. V' ft.Ay oil A cool throat and a fresh mouth double your enjoyment of a smoke.
