rr I 1 sv Young Children Provide Problem For Authorities Five Found in Danger of Freezing or Starving Although Parents Offered Relief in Distant Rural Municipality The five young children of Mrs. Lena Funk, 2239 Franklin Avenue, today presented a problem to the city authorities which they hoped to solve following a special meeting this afternoon of the Relief Appeal Board. The case, not new to the officials, who described it as one of those in which the legal responsibility rests in a distant municipality where the parents have refused to return came to the fore again today after J. H. Speers, local feed and flour merchant had visited the home and found the children, one a baby of 10 months.dn danger of starving or freezing to death.

The children were visited Saturday by Mr. Speers who found them grouped about a heater in which one stick of wood was burning out. The baby sat shivering in a high chair. There had been no food since porridge at breakfast time and the setting generally was one of dire distress. HELP WAITING IN R.M.

OF MORRIS RIAl .14 i fKA i j' i zzmk 5 rr Hi ATAPOLEON FOUQUETTE, stalwart 17-year-old son of Ernest Fouquette, the aged Leask farmer who was beaten to death in a lane at Leask last July, is shown leaving the police station in the town last week after he had been placed under arrest, charged with the murder. The arrest followed a four-day inquest into the farmers death, the inquiry having been delayed for police investigation. The jury not only found the elder Fouquette had been murdered, but suspected perjury In the evidence of relatives, naming one woman specifically. Detective Sergeant J. S.

Wood and Detective Corporal E. J. Des-rosiers are seen following the youthful accused from the building. visit the home. His invitation was declined, he later stated.

The mayor had Informed him that he knew of the case and was not interested, Mr. Speers said. It was learned that the Funk family had come to Saskatoon some months ago but had not been in the city long enough to secure city relief. They had come from Morris municipality and could return there to receive Government and municipal aid. They did not wish to do so, although the reasons were not learned.

After the family had come to the city, the father had gone to the. country to try and earn money selling music lessons. PAPER FOR MATTRESS Early Saturday evening Mr. Speers took a Star-Phoenix reporter to the Funk home to see the condition. He told of his conversation with Mayor Pinder and also disclosed he had taken Alder-men S.

A. Early and J. H. Cameron to the residence earlier In an effort to interest them in the case. Alderman Cameron, he alleged, had simply argued the legalities of the case, pointing out the city could not give the family relief or there would be 500 other families maxing immediate application.

Arriving at. the house, the press representative was ushered into a four-roomed dwelling. The front room waa bare of all furniture except a couple of kitchen chairs. An adjoining room boaated a trunk and a double bed with a layer of newspapers in place of a mattress. In the kitchen were found the five children standing about the tall heater, now blazing merrily in contrast with the rest of the surroundings.

On one side was a Toronto couch on which Mrs. Funk and her five babies slept they had to huddle together at nights to keep warm. SNOW FOR WATER The whole home seemed concentrated, in the kitchen. There was the only bed used, the only heater, the only table, the only meagre stock of household utensils. There was another room in which a barrel of snow, to be melted and used for water, reposed.

A bag of candy, carried by chance in a coat pocket, brought polite expressions of appreciation from the tots who had had nothing since breakfast time. A little later some groceries were received with the same politeness. Ravenous for food, they nevertheless did not forget their manners. A kind neighbor, who, is was learned, was responsible for most of the clothing the youngsters possessed, was there Charles Wyma of 2301 Lome Avenue. He had been doing what he could to ease the familys condition, although he realised the city could not give the family relief.

Mrs. Funk was not at home. She was downtown seeking some food and fuel for the protection of her little ones. It was learned later that she was seriously ill, suffering from exposure caused by the cold weather as she went from place to place seeking assistance and clad in only flimsy clothing. Commenting on the case, Mr.

Speers felt it was a glaring example of poverty in the midst of plenty. He maintained it was not a case in. which legal technicalities should be allowed to endanger the lives end welfare of five little children. No matter who was at fault, human sympathy should surpass all rules. The main consideration was that little children should not suffer.

LOlIS PRICE ACCUSED OF SWINDLING STOREKEEPER OUT OF $2,000 The story of the Lost Wallet has bobbed up again in Saskatoon. This time it comes via Vancouver, where it is not unknown- In fact it is rather well known from Miami to Montreal, and from New Mexico to the Klondyke.

Briefly, it goes something like this. A guest in a hotel stumbles upon a fat wallet, which evidently belongs to a man of means. Opening it for purposes of identification, he concludes his supposition is correct. It evidently is the property of a wealthy sportsman. At that time two strangers appear.

One recognizes the purse, and offers a substantial reward. The finder of course does not wish to take any gift. 1 iis new-found friends offer to let him in on a good thing. The inevitable follows. The man awakens to find himself swindled.

1932 CRIME It Is alleged that Walter Louis Price, alias Cohen, aged 41, and who gives his occupation as salesman, conspired to secure money from James Herbert Jardine, storekeeper of Marwayne, on September 16, 1932. It la further alleged that Price, a native of the United States, conspired to defraud Jardine to the extent of $2,000 in a local hotel by the lost wallet system. Price was arrested in Vancouver Thursday on a charge of conspiracy. An officer of the R. C.

M. P. is en route to the Coast city to return the wanted man to Saska toon. Saskatoon city police co-operat ing with the efty police of points across Canada, and the United States as well as the R.C.M.P., have been tracing Price for years. At one time in 1933, they found he was in jail in Tacoma, but extradition difficulties stood in the way of bringing hifn here.

TWO OTHKKS WANTED Wanted also are Price's two friends, William Francis McKelvey, alias J. B. Wilson, aged 37, born in the United States, and John Corbett, native of Regina, aged 27. Search is being made for the pair. They were wanted on the same charge.

Police records here show that all three have been convicted of criminal acts, and all three have been arrested for the alleged crime of conspiracy in 1932. At the time of the arrests difficulties stood in the way of extradition. When Price arrives here he will he charged before Police Magistrate Brown with conspiracy to defraud Jardine of $2,000 by advancing a scheme to make money on the horses. Grant Board Extra Power Wheat Pool Delegates Meet; I In Regina; Favor Fixed I Price Idea Canadian Press RKGINA, Nov. 11.

Recommendations for strengthening the Sowers of the Canadian Wheat oard by bringing into force provisions already contained in the legislation establishing it, but not yet effective; continuance of the principle of a fixed minimum price related to production costs; and complete confidence in its present personnel, were expressed in three resolutions hearing on this subject passed unanimously by Saskatchewan Wheat Pool delegates at their meeting Saturday afternoon. The resolution read: "That this meeting of delegates 1 believes that it is in the best inter-Jests of the grain growers of West-j ern Canada that provision he made that the Canadian Wheat Board i operate for a period of not less than five years for the marketing of grain, including coarse grains, and further, that sections 9, 10, 11. J4 16 of the Canadian Wheat Board Act should be brought into force by proclamation prior to the movement of 1936 crop, so that all grains shall be marketed through the hoard" (Four of the sections referred to provide for control of elevators, and set out penalties for infraction; the othei affects marketing of coarse grains). "That this meeting strongly recommends that the principle of establishing a fixed minimum price for grain related to the cost of pio duction should be maintained throughout the period the Canadian Wheat Board is in operation. Whereas the successful operation of the Canadian Wheat Board depends to a very large degree of the relationship of the board and grain producers, and whereas the present members of the board were appointed after consultation with representatives of the organized roducers, and whereas this meet-rig believes that the appointees have the complete confidence of grain producers of Western Canada; resolved that this meeting of delegates record its complete confidence In the ability and integrity of the present personnel of the Canadian Wheat Board to carry out Tl RN TO VlK 4.

Atrocity Stories Still Told, Report Regina German-Canadians to Investigate Alleged Action Of Some Teachers REGINA, Nov. 12. Are Regina school teachers still telling their pupils stories of supposed atrocities commitcd by German soldiers during the Great War? Allegations that certain teachers are doing so are to be investigated by the executive of the Regina branch of the Oerman-Canadian Association of Saskatchewan. At the regular meeting of the Regina branch of the society Thursday night, such charges were made by several persons, the story most frequently told being "that. German soldiers stuck their bayonets through small children and carried them over their shoulders.

Resenting such action on the basis that such stories had long since been disproved by high authorities, the Gertnan-C'anadian Club of Regina moved to investigate the charges at Us meeting on Thursday. Claiming that such action on the part of teachers will only engender hatred among the children of different nationalities, the organization feels that it is all the more reprehensible when many organizations are directing unceasing efforts to fostering a better understanding between the opposing nationalities in the last war. Although Mr. Speers alleged that the mayor had shown a total lack of Interest in the case when notified by him, Mr. Pinder said today that in any case the children would not be allowed to starve.

The Funk family has no claim for unemployment relief here, and will have to return to Morris where the authorities are prepared to give any assistance required," Mayor Pinder said today. The municipality has indicated its willingness to accept the responsibility of providing the family with relief, railway transportation has been provided, and an official of the Government employment bureau here has offered to pack and ship the familys effects. Despite these arrangements the family has consistently refused to leave Saskatoon, the mayor emphasized. SPECIAL MEETING Further action was anticipated as a result of a special session of the Relief Appeal Board called for 2.30 o'clock this afternoon. We will make sure that the children are not allowed to starve, continued the mayor who said he had already discussed the matter with the Provincial Child Welfare Bureau, and had asked A.

S. Wright, secretary of the Childrens Aid Society, to keep a close dheck on the situation. Some other arrangements may have to be made for the children, added the mayor. He gave no Indication of the nature of the arrangements he had in mind. Last week the mayor along with Relief Officer G.

W. Parker, and Inspector Albert Milne of the City Police, called at the Funk home and attempted to induce the family to leave for Morris. At that time the mayor emphasized the mothers responsibility to her children, and pointed out the dangers of lack of food and neglect. There Is no occasion for suffering," the mayor emphasized. "Food and shelter is awaiting them in their own municipality.

There is no question of the municipalitys willingness to grant such assistance. If Saskatoon gives relief to this family, we will have to assist every transient family that comes along. In a month or two we would be caring for oyer 500 outside families." Mr. Speers had received a request to visit the home of Mrs. Funk, where he was told he would find five children starving and freezing to death.

He responded to the call and found what he termed the worst case of suffering and privation he had ever seen. He secured some coal and wood, got a warm fire started in the heater and then proceeded to get food for the youngsters. The children ate their second meal of the day at 7.30 o'clock in the evening. I am sure the baby would have frozen to death in another hour, he related to a Star-Phoenix representative. After providing against that eventuality, Mr.

Speers called Mayor Pinder and asked him to go and Dinner-Dance To Celebrate Opening Function at The Bess-borough Announced Tj Be First Hotel Event Official opening of The Bessbor-ough will take place on December 10, according to announcement by H. W. Aslin, manager. On the eve- ning of the opening day there will he a special supper dance to cele- i brate the event. This dance, Mr.
