CRITICISM IS LEVELLED AT O.S TRIP Stole Shoes From Shed "When he made his quick escape from the Klllarney jail on Wednesday evening the man was without shoes.

Today he was wearing a pair of skating shoes and a green sweater which were taken from the shed of W. Allen. No one was in the house when these goods were taken. Mr. Allen having been out hunting the fugitive while Mrs.

Allen had taken her children to stay with friends during her husbands absence. So great is the excitement in the town of Killamev that school examinations scheduled for today were postponed. From 200 to 300 automobiles were scouring the district throughout the night and it is estimated that 700 persons were engaged in the search, but it was not until 9 a.m. today that a definite trace, which led to the manVeapture, was obtained. Surrounded by an armed guard, his hands heavily manacled, the man showed increased willingness to talk as the special police train roared toward Winnipeg.

Cautioned that anything he said would be used as evidence against him, the prisoner stated to his guards Its all a big mistake. An old nail file found on the floor of his cell was the tool he ncd to pick the double lock of his prison doors and effect his pvape he said. The prisoner was ready to converse on any subject but his life. He made no statement that would connect him with the atrocious crimes with which he is charged. later and broke through the human chain only to be overpowered a few hundred vards further on.

Canada's absolute control over her own constitution and that any fu ture Governor-General of Canada should be a Canadian, were the points advocated when C. F. Jamie son, Calgary, president of the Grand Lodge of the Native Sons of Canada, explained the aims and objects of the organization in the Dominion, at a meeting of the newly-formed Regina branch last night. About 60 members of the organization attended the meeting, which was held in the Cornwall Block. Officers installed at the meeting were: President, E.

All ahadow of doubt was dispelled this afternoon when Robert F. Nelson, 1852 Lome street. Regina, positively stated that Hainsworth was not the man with whom he had talked in Regina during the last week-end and who is believed to have fled from Winnipeg, after strangling a girl and a woman No, he's not tne man.

I am sure of that," declared Nelson, after had looked at Hainsworth and talked to him for a few minutes.

purchase land, 45 feet frontage, at 33 per foot in the same block. Com-ir. ttee decided it was not prepared to consider purchase of property of-ertd but was willing to negotiate an exchange on the basis of Some criticism was expressed at last night's meeting of City Council in regard to the attendance of Dr. W. R.

Coles, medical officer of health, at the convention of the Canadian Medical Association at Toronto. At last meeting of council letter was read from Dr. Coles requesting, at the city's expense, permission to attend the convention, and stating that In his absence Dr. RothweU would attend to the duties of the department. The application was then refused.

Last night Alderman Gardner raised the matter, and stated he wanted to know under what conditions the medical officer went to Toronto. Commissioner Thornton replied that Dr. Coles had come to him and asked If there would be objection to his going at his own expense, and he told him he did not think so. Alderman Gardiner did not consider that the question of his going at his own expense should enter. The point was that Council refused permission.

Dr. Coles had been in the employ of the city for only a few months. Nobody else would stand for it. Alderman Kelly said If his memory served him aright the request was that the medical officer should represent the city at the citys expense. He did not think any exception could be taken to Commissioner Thorntons attitude when Dr.

Coles was going at his own expense. Deputy Mayor McNall intimated that in the mayors absence he told Dr Coles he was perfectly agreeable to his going to Toronto at bis own expense. He was willing to assume that responsibility. When at last meeting he voted against Dr. Coles going It was because the request was at the citys expense.

Alderman Kelly maintained that the medical officer had not disregarded th councils Instructions, and in going at hie own expense he had Obtained the consent of Commissioner Thornton and deputy mayor. Alderman. Gardner said he was not saying th medical officer should censured. but somebody should be censured. Dr.

Coles had no business to be away when the council. at last meeting, forbade him to fO. Alderman Drope, who moved the motion at last meet'ng. said it was hie intention that the medical officer do not absent himself either at the citys expense or his own. However, he sa'd.

his motion may not have been quite clear on the matter, and In viejv of the fact that the deputy mayor ard the city commissioner saw fit to grant permission to Dr. Coles to leave the city, not at the expense of the citv. he did not see what criticism could be offered cf the medical health offi-cer Alderman Gardner contended that in view of the council's decision, permission should not have been given by ana-body unless members of the council were cons' dered. In reoly to a question. Commi sioner Thornton etated that leave of absence was usually dealt with by the commissioners.

When Dr. Coles came to him at first and asked for leave to go to the convention he told him he had doubts about It, the queefion of expenses then being mentioned. He (Commissioner Thornton) had some doubt whether the city should send him at it expense In the circumstances The question of expense was not advanced now just as a reason for the dorters going. because It was definitely discussed at the time referred to when Dr. Coles first made his application.

If a mistake was made later he would aseure council it was not deliberate. There was no Intention to over-ride any decision council made. Alderman Coldwe.l said according to Ms understanding of the motion permission was refused by the council. He thought the clause in the hv-law stated that in the event of the medical health officer leaving the city such arrangements ehould be made which were approved by council. If he was right in that, that was an additional reason why leave ehould not have been granted without reference to the council.

Alderman Perry said he was quite satisfied that Commissioner Thor.i-ton and the deputy mayor, when Dr Coles wanted to go at his own ex- CITY POLICE, PROVINCIAL POLICE FORCES, ROYAL CANADIAN MOUNTED POLICE AND RAILWAY INVESTIGATION OFFICERS HELPED TO TRACK DOWN WANTED MAN Guthrie Announces Change of Date Will Save in Delegates Railway Fares FIRM SETTLES TWO ACTIONS OUT OF COURT wished Canada to remain within the British Empire were stressed by the speaker during the course of his address. On the subject of Immigration Mr. Jamieson asserted that there were hundreds of people being brought Into Canada through misrepresentation, a state of affairs which led to disillusionment. Met Much Hostility In speaking of the early organization of the Native Son, Mr. Jamieson 'pointed out that it was formed in Vancouver in 1921 by ten men.

The founding of such an organization naturally met with much hostility, arising from a misunderstanding. People thought that one of the aims of th organization was to break away from the British Empire. This never was the policy and never would be, the speaker maintained. This confused thought arose in people's minds some two or three years ago when an organization arose In Toronto caliedthe "Canada First Movement whose object, he understood, waa to set up a Canadian Republic. One of the emmissaries of the movement had addressed a meeting of the NaVve Sons and this had led to the confusion.

After many vicissitudea the membership of the organization was growing and spreading rapidly throughout the Dominion today. Although a short time ago the movement had not spread beyond the Rockies there were today many or ganizations over the Prairies. The progress made had been by voluntary effort and the only paid official of the organization was the grand secretary. The efforts had involved much self-sacrifice and the organ.zatlon had much suspicion to encounter. Their effort was to build up Cana dianism and Canada's status bad been clearly defined by the Imperial Conference as a self-governing country exeroising control over external and internal matters without interference from Great Britain or any other source.

No Official Canadians It has been shown in the past that there waa no such person, officially, as a Canadian. On the forma sup plied dur.ng the census taking no provision was made for a person to describe himself as a Canadian, the speaker said. It had been said that one of the objects of the organization was to put an Englishman out of a job and to put a Canadian in his place. Thus was abaolutel-- untrue, for they that employment was a matter of contract and a man from anywhere had a right to work. In view of the serious exodus to the United States of Canadians, how ever, lie maintained that all thing being equal preference should be given to people bora in the country.

The exodus of Canadians to the U. S. was a serioua matter, the speaker maintained, and it was known that the Canadian was much sought after as an employee across the line. Immigration Sterioua Problem Immigration was another of the serious problems. It was a fact that people were being brought Into the country through misrepresentation.

He had in his possession papers circulated by the Canadian Government in Britain offering a guarantee of employment to domestic workers and laborers. People were being brought to the country for seasonal employment and thev would be lining up outside the soup kitchens in the winter. Not only did Canada owe a duty to the people w-ho lived in the country but also to those who came here. The organization had been labelled as "annexationist but this annexation had been going on for years without their efforts, for hosts of Canadians were crossing the border annually and had been doing so for vears. In speaking of the development of the Canadian national spirit the speaker advocated the inclusion in the curriculum of Canadian schools of matters relating to the Empire rather than accounts of ancient wars.

He cited numerous instances exemplifying the power of the British Empire and its prestige and urged that these nhould be taught preference to older historical ASSERTS MOST CRIMINALS ARE NOT DEFECTIVE taken. All police equads were heavily armed, carrying sawed-off shotguns, rifles, revolvers and tear-gas bomba The man created a reign of terror in Winnipeg, following the double killing, and for days homes have been claeely guarded and children kept from the streets in fear of the strangler. When the news was flashed that he had been traced to Regina that city also was thrown into a state of intense excitement and citizens again co-operated with police in their efforts to track down the dangerous maniac running loose. Every precaution was taken and houses were heavily barred at night. City police forces, the provincial police deDartments, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the investigation departments of the railways assisted in the hunt.

Restraining Effect of Prompt Justice Is Stressed by Luke S. May SFENCERVTLLE, Ont June 16. The national Conservative convention will open in Winnipeg September 27, instead of on October 11, so that the delegates will only have to pay single fare to September 30 instead of a fare and a half, after tli Hon. Hugh Guthrie announced at the annual meeting of the Grenville-Dundas Liberal-Conservative Association here today. Mr.

Guthrie said that setting back the date of the meeting would save in railway fares. Every riding would be allowed five votes but as many representatives as they wanted. He urged that every riding be fully represented as the convention would be a great event in the history of the party. Hon. Hugh Guthrie repeated his previous assertion that the Conservative party should woo the West, as experience of the past proved that too much ttme had been devoted to eastern parts of Canada with no return.

There was a great opportunity Jor the Conservatile party in the West.

June is Assert ing that an overwhelming proportion of criminate committed crimes be cause of pure "cusedness" and not because they were defective, Luke May, president of the North West Association of Sheriffs and Police, and chairman of the International anti-enme conference in session here, advocated In his presidential address this afternoon sure and speedy justice as a crime deterrent Even real defectives, he said, made sure that they dd not 6trav from the path in the presence of police of fleers, while the restraining effect of prompt justice on criminals who had all their faculties was even greater, The sentimentalism that held that nearly all criminals were defectives and to be wrought with on that basis was mistaken in conception and negligible in results in the way of refuting crime He advocated making It a crime to disturb the theatre of a crime asserting that in countless cases of serious crimes evidence that might have been of inestimable value especially if of a microscopic nature was complete! lost owing to intrusion of the public or carelessness of a peace officer. WINNIPEG, June 16. Never before in the history of Jurisprudence in Western Canada have police beeD called upon to cope with a case such as that presented by the strangler, held in Winnipeg and identified as the murderer of Mrs. Em.ly Patterson. 27, and 14-year-old Lola Cowan.

The capture of the hunted man ended a search which has been continent-wide since the first victim of the strangler was found in a Pacific Coast city two years ago. Arriving in Winnipeg a week ago jesterdaj. Nelson rented a room In a downtown rooming house. Twenty-four hours later Lola Cowan, selling artificial flowers from house to house, was lured to his room, assaulted and strangled to death, her nude body being shoved under a bed, and her clothes hidden in another room of the house. Less than 24 hours later Mrs Patterson was killed in her Elmwod home, the body hidden under a bed and the house robbed.

At midnight Friday the woman's husband found the body, forty-eignt hours later, Sundiy night, the school girls body was found. Tbe Gorilla Man From descriptions obtained it was Immediately recognized that the murderer was the much-sought-for "strangler." His movements were traced from the Elmwood home of the Pattersons, a suit of clothes he had stolen belonging 0 Mr. Pat terson was found in a second-hand store, and a store where he purchased a new grey outfit was located, also a barber shop where lie had had a shave and haircut following the slaying of the woman. Traced to Regina From Winnipeg he was traced to Regina, where he again changed suits, and it wae definitely established that he left the Saskatchewan city dressed again in overalls, new but of the same style he had left behind him following the murder of Mrs. Patterson.

While in Regina he took out the little daughter of a rooming house keeper but apparently the child instinctive dislike for the man saved her being one more victim of the homicidal maniac. Unprecedented Man-Hunt Never in the history of Western Canada has such a concerted search been made for a fugitive. The horror of his crimes and the brutality of the murderer had roused the wnole country, and everywhere citizens cooperated with police, officers In running the dark slayer down. Scores of men were arrested and interrogated, thousands of rooming houses in many cities were visited And many false clues were followed to the end. Throughout Manitoba and Saskatchewan and the whole of the West heavy police g-uards watched highways, railway stations and country towns.

Border districts were patrolled and United States officers co-upefated with the Canadian police tbe exciting man-hunt. From the start the police were aware they were searching for a clever criminal, and no chances were perse, d.d not consider it ccr.t-a a to the council's dec's'on. He cm: see the viewpoint of the doctor. was p-obably new on the job ar I considered he could learn a good to safeguard the health of the community by going to the convent Alderman Gardner repeated the fact was that the council d- -dined to gie Coles leave of absence. The discussion was allowed drop.
