They had not first put their claims in filed them with the before apcoultine pearing before the meeting. The afternoon before the fracas, a delegation of women had interviewed him but had refused to state the nature of their requests, the mayor stated. When the women appeared before council, they had made "demands." Immediately, although not because of use of the term, they had been ruled out of order. It had been necessary to call for police assistance in order to clear the council chamber. The mayor laid no blame for the fracas on local relief recipients.

He was certain that Mr. McManus had not been brought to Saskatoon for the purpose of stirring up bad feeling. SEEKS LINE EXTENSIONS Completion of C.N.R. Branches Urged by C. R.

The "Hell-hole" of Kingston at STADIUM (Heated for your comfort) TONIGHT 8.30 p.m. DEATH CALLS! VETERAN OF EARLY DAYS Capt. E. S. Andrews, Real Pioneer Here, Dies Wednesday SAW SERVICE IN RIEL REBELLION LIVED IN SASKATOON FOR 51 YEARS; WAS BORN IN NEW BRUNSWICK One of the most colorful figures of Saskatoon's early days, Captain E.

Shelton Andrews, died at his home, 241 Eleventh Street, east, Wednesday afternoon. He had spent 51 of his 82 years of life in Saskatoon. His was the first house on the west side of the river where the city now stands and in 1884 he brought here the cargo of lumber from which the first permanent building of the Temperance Colonization So- ciety was constructed. WAS SEA CAPTAIN Born at St. Andrew's, Minister's Island, New Brunswick, he followed the sea for 14 years, rising to the rank of captain before ill-health forced him to retire.

Prior to coming to Saskatoon, he spent three years at Selkirk, Manitoba, where he was captain of a boat on Lake Winnipeg. Captain Andrews is survived by his widow, herself a pioneer, having come to Saskatoon in 1885, and by seven no children, Mrs. Ross Gorham, Edmonton; Mrs. Arthur Kidd, Cookstown, Ontario; Miss Gladys Andrews and Miss Florence Andrews residing at home, Marshall Andrews, Grandora; Shelton Andrews, with the God's Lake Mining Company in Northern Manitoba, and George Andrews, Toronto. Captain Andrews first came to Saskatoon early in 1884 when he heard that the authorities were having troubles with the Indians.

Nothing came of the Indian disturbances, SO he accepted a commission from the Temperance Colonization Society to go to Medicine Hat and bring their recently purchased boat "May Queen" and a scow of lumber to the settlement. The boat left Medicine Hat on May 7 and took two weeks to make the trip here. The only settlement between the two places was one at Swift Current Crossing. The island on which Captain Andrews was born was in the possession of the Andrews' family for four generations. It was purchased by the Rev.

Samuel Andrews, a United Samuel Osborne, who had it as Empire Loyalist, from Captain a grant from the Crown for services rendered in giving protection to Loyalists in the American William Revolution. In later years, Sir Van Horne owned half the island and resided there. Captain Andrews' older brother disposed of his interin Minister's Island several years ago. MARRIED IN 1885 Captain Andrews was the youngest of a family of eight. He was educated at St.

Andrew's and the Naval Academy in Belfast, immediately finding a place in the Atlantic service. After 14 years in this service, his health became poor and he ventured into Western Canada. A few years Selkirk and then he moved to Saskatoon. In 1884, Captain Andrews selected the quarter section near the present site of the Quaker Oats plant and built his first home in Saskatoon about 300 yards west of the present Mary Thomson, who had The following, year he married come into the settlement that season. The bridal couple were obliged to travel to Prince Albert to the nearest minister to have the cereperformed.

WAS ANGLICAN That year, too, he participated in the Riel Rebellion. When the disturbances 'first broke out, he was made captain of the Home Guards. The total supply of arms for the guards consisted of eight or 10 shotand three or four rifles, until guns one of the residents returned from Moose Jaw with a supply of arms and ammunition. Soon Captain Andrews decided to take a more active part.

He went to Clark's Crossing where the troops for the invasion of rebel territory were being collected. He volunteered his services and was assigned to duty on the "Northcote" supply ship, which plyed the North Saskatchewan. On one trip, something went amiss with the boat and the Captain was obliged to climb to the exposed parts of the craft. Rebel snipers were posted on each bank and as the boat drifted down stream, it was hailed with rifle bullets. Captain Andrews narrowly caped with life.

One bullet tore the cap off his head. Another struck him on the breast, but a book he had in his coat deflected it. For many years, Captain Andrews was at the call of everyone in the settlement. Wherever illness oCcurred, either to man or beast, his neighbors sought his help and found him willing to aid them. He was especially in demand to keep the ferries across the river in repair, and whatever time of the day or night a call came, he was always ready to lend his assistance.

Farming occupied his attention from the time he settled here until his death yesterday. Captain Andrews sold his homestead on the west of the city and took his family to live at Victoria. The seafever seemed still in his blood. eYt the sea was no longer satisfactory.

He is Roland Young, who for many years has been identified with comic roles. In New York, on the stage, he scored decisive hits in "Rollo's Wild Oat" and many other plays. But in "David Copperfield" he becomes Uriah Heep, arch-hypocrite, thief and scoundrel. And he is such a convincing villain that he has sworn to abandon comedy once and for all, and to devote himself only to tragic roles.

"David Copperfield," one of the most widely pictures in all screen history, continues its successful engagement at the Capitol Theatre. More than a year in production, it is said to be a faithful translation of Dickens' favorite novel and is hailed everywhere as one of the great achievements of the films. Among the stars are W. C. Fields as Micawber; Frank Lawton and little Freddie Bartholomew as David, the man and the boy; Edna May Oliver Aunt Betsy; Lionel Barrymore as Dan Peggotty; Lewis Stone as Mr.

Madge Evans as Agnes; Maureen O'Sullivan as Dora; Elizabeth Allan as Mrs. Copperfield; Basil Rathbone as Mr. Murdstone, and scores of others.

TYPICAL ARLISS PICTURE AT ROXY "'The Last Gentleman" Proves' Likeable Show; Balance Of Program Amusing With George Arliss in the leading role, "The Last Gentleman," now showing at the Roxy, offers high class entertainment.

It is an unusual picture based on the unusual story of a wealthy gentleman who must have his joke on his family, even in death. There is no doubt that Arliss is entirely responsible for the success of the picture. It is not one of his best pictures, but it is exceedingly good. One can't help but believe, however, that if he would spend greater effort representing the character of story rather than representing George Arliss, the work of a great artist would be even greater. The story is unusual, and it is entertaining.

It offers scope for the entire scale of emotions, but it is noticeable that Arliss is before the camera three fourths of the time. "Maybe It's Love" is a fair to middling comedy depicting the squabbles of the average young married couple so authentically, that it. can really only be recommended for those who have not entered the holy state of matrimony.
