Did Not Prove Failure to Provide for Wife and Endangering Her Life, Verdict Of Police Court Magistrate Acting Police Magistrate J. E. MacDermid, acceding to a motion by the defence this morning, dismissed a charge against James Vogan, elderly former relief recipient of 132 Avenue north, of failing to provide for his wife. The charge was failure to provide necessaries for his wife and did therefore endanger her life, under section 242 of the Criminal Code of Canada, Mr. MacDermid held that the prosecution had failed to bring sufficient evidence, as required in a criminal court of law, in two of the three elements of the charge.

These two elements were failure to provide necessaries and endangering the womans life. In regard to a third element of the charge, dealing with the absence of lawful excuse, the magiS' trate stated that had the two first elements been proved, there would have been sufficient evidence to prove the third point. He thought there was no reason why Vogan should not move from his present residence as required by the relief authorities. nnnrAnM Anvifip neglect to provide necessaries. If DOCTORS ADVICE Mrg.

Accidents Auto Drivers Line Up In Safety Lane to Test Their Cars With a line-up of cars ready for test at the opening of Safety Lane, on Twenty-fourth Street, east, across from the Y.W.C.A., at 1 oclock the men in charge were kept busy right from the opening, which was attended by Mayor Niderost and Police Chief Donald. MAYOR ENDORSES WORK Praise for the efforts of the Y.M. B.T., which la sponsoring the project in the Interest of increased safety on the streets and highways, was expressed by Mayor Niderost in the following statement: The mounting toll of accidents on public highways and on the streets of tbis city has prompted the Young Mens Section of the Saskatoon Board of Trade to embark on a vigorous traffic safety campaign. They have already accomplished much this year through the medium of the press and radio.

Their plan Is a diversified and continuous exposition of the hazards that motorists, cyclists and pedes trians must be always on the alert to avoid is bound to be fruitful in the protection of life and limb, and I commend them most heartily for their efforts, However, careful driving must be accompanied by a good standard of mechanical safety. A faulty steering gear may precipitate your car into the ditch. Brake failure sometimes means death. Weak headlights are your worry and blinding headlights the other fellow's. By learning of and correcting any faults, a better standard of safe driving will ensue.

Safety Lane, which is being operated Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of tbis week by the Young Men's Section of the Saskatoon Board of Trade, offers to every motorist a splendid opportunity to assure himself that his car is not hazardous either to himself and his family, or others. This service Is free. On behalf of the safety campaign of the Young Men's Section I appeal to every motorist to take his car to Safety Lane. MEET TONIGHT The United Reform Youth Movement will hold a meeting and social this evening at 8 oclock at 613 Eastlake Avenue (opposite Nutans Collegiate campus).

FIRST RACK 8.800, claiming, foaled In Weatera Canada, three-year-olda and up, ft 14 furlonga: gered and if there is any evidence as to this, it is very slight, and it is being caused by the effect on her blood pressure and by the mental disturbance caused by her hue-bands failure to move and not by hla failure to provide necessaries," Mr. MacDermid stated.

Mr. MacDermid thought that it really was not necessary to deal with the third element, that of the absence of lawful excuse in view of what he had eaid already. DOCTOR MISTAKEN? "I may say, however, that If I was required to make a finding on this, I should find that there is evidence that there is no reason why the accused ahould not move as required. I accept the evidence of Mr. Hald as to the suitability of the house on Avenue J.

Doctor Neufeld's evidence is based on a mid-appreciation aa to the construction of the house in question, the magistrate said. (Mr. Haid, a contractor, testified that the house at 1237 Avenue south, which was offered the Vogans by the relief authorities, was a better house than that in which the Vogans resided at present. Doctor Neufeld stated that he had inspected the house on Avenue and had advised Mr. Vogan not to make the move as it was a cold house and the environment was not suitable to Mrs.

Vogans condition) Mr. MacDermid concluded: "The accused can get relief if he moves. I think, therefore, there is absence of lawful excuse. But in view of the lack of evidence that he failed to provide necessaries and that such neglect endangered his wife's life. I must dismiss the charge.

Gem-mell, city assessor explained that the repetition Waa necessary due to a change in the election regulations, fixing the period for registration from July 1 to, September 8. Youngsters Making Biological Survey Farley Mowat, Son of Former Librarian Here, Member Of Eastern Party En route to the Saskatchewan northland to conduct a biological survey for several Eastern Canadian and United States institutions. Farley Mowat, I9-year-old son of Angus Mowat, Richmond Hill, former librarian here and now inspector of public libraries in Ontario, paused here for one hour on Monday afternoon before -travelling on to Emma Lake. At the northern lake, togethei with Harris Hoard, 19, also of Richmond Hill, and Frank Banfieid, 21-year-old University of Toronto student, he will establish a base camp, from which the party will venture on to Montreal Lake and other northern places. Banfieid is the mamologist of the party, interested in everything on four legs but especially in mice, gophers and prairie dogs.

Farley, the bird worker, surveys anything from humming birds to eagles, according to his own statement. Hoard came along to study biology in general. The three young men left Toronto by automobile and ever since reaching the West their progress has been slow due to the heavy rainfall. They came via the southern route and described the journey from Estevan to Weyburn, Moose Jaw and Saskatoon as positively terrible insofar as the roads were concerned. After a month at Emma Lake, the three young men will puli their stakes and will spend two weeks at Dundurn and then another two weeks in the Cypress Hills.

Their next move will be to Fort Carlton where Frank Banfieid, who incidentally is a native of Africa and came here only a few years ago, will study the first known species of gophers which are to be found in this vicinity. The next point of Interest, Val Marie, will be Mr. Banfield's field of work also. There he will collect species of the prairie dog. Val Marie, Farley Mowat said, was the only place in Canada where this animal can be found.

From Val Marie the surveyors will start their Journey for home via Montana and the Yellowstone Park, where they expect to do a bit of field work. Farley Mowat started to specialize in biology about ten year ago but really went at it on a scientific scale about five years ago. This particular research Journey is being backed by the Royal Ontario Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, and the University of Michigan. While in Saskatoon, until about three year ago, Farley was a student at Victoria Public School and at Nutana Collegiate. TROPHIES PRESENTED An Interesting feature of the banquet, which was attended by nearly 300 persons, was the presentation by Dr.

J. R. Hoag, provincial president, of trophies awarded to secretaries of clubs turning in prize win nlng reports. The Battlefords retained both trophies for a second term, Art Vine being awarded the W. O.

Ross Cup for branch reports, and James Hamilton the Ernie How Cup for Squareshooter Clubs. While he had no desire to presuppose the results of initial deliberations of the Northern Conservation Board, scheduled for Wednesday, Mr, Kerr declared his belief that one of its first recommendations would be for a works project aimed at the conservation of runoff water In the vast watershed of the Churchill River. The object would be to reflood sections on some tributaries of the Churchill Rivet-which were well-known in ths past as beaver areas. The effect would be to control the fire hazard, without which control all northern conservation efforts would be futile Mr. Kerr was understood to say that an engineering party waa ready to move northward to survey the watershed of the Churchill River in order to make recommendations, a project that could be carried out at reasonable coBt.

TO AID FISHING INDUSTRY Mr. Kerr held It' as a possibility that the project would be carried through as a Federal undertaking but that its Maintenance would be a provincial responsibility. The first meeting of ths Northern Conservation Board, he said, would be featured by discussions on northern Saskatchewan's commercial fishing industry. Consideration must be given Immediately, he went on, to remedial measures for northern fishermen who endured hardships for which there were inadequate financial returns bccausa of glutted markets. A larger number of fry has been placed in Saskatchewan lakes this year than for many years, according to Mr.

Kerr, who instanced that more than of whltefish fry and more than pickerel had been Introduced Into the lakes this year. He visualized that. Independently of the proposals of the Northern Conservation Board, the Provincial Government would spend in excess of (100,000 on small projects In the north country, all aimed to provide work where it was needed and to educate northern settlers in the work of conserving their greatest assets, the natural resources. J. A.

Gregory paid tributes to the efforts of Ducks Unlimited in conservation and to the Saskatchewan Fish and Game League for its educational work, In regard to the heritage of fish, fur and game, and It was the duty of citizens to hand this on to future generations unlm-paiied. AMERICANS KEEN Mr. Main was heard briefly. He scouted the idea that American sportsmen were not now as eager as Canadian sportsmen to see that game laws and regulations were enforced. There was no greatei percentage of law infractions in the United Slates than here now ha said Referring to the growth of the parent body of Ducks Unlimited, particularly In the sign up of conservators, Mr.

Main declared that of the 100,000 members which were the objective In the United Stntes, 14,000 had already been enrolled. Timely arrival of a cus tomer frustrated an attempt to hold up the Commercial Cafe, 118 Twentieth Street, west, about 10 oclock Mon day night, and caused the bandit to flee through the back door of the establishment LOOKED LIKE GUN J. McCook, night chef at the cafe, who lives at Ottawa Rooms, Avenue was alone at work in the kitchen when the bandit etrode in the back door from 'a dark alley he said, In describing the occurrence to the Star-Phoenix. 1 The outlaw had hia right hand in the large pocket of bis jacket, and in his hand, Mr. McCook said, was what appeared to be a revolver, Stick 'em up, the bandit ordered, after moving whatever he held in his hand about, suggestively, under the cloth.

For a moment, Mr. McCook stood still and said nothing. The bandit then repeated his command, adding: Give me what money you've got, quick. Mr. McCook said: I havent any money." Then get in behind that counter, quick," the man said, again motioning with the object he was holding In the pocket of his jacket with his right hand.

Mr. McCook moved in behind the counter, toward the cash register, the direction Indicated by the bandit, Just at that moment, the customer, Pete Stephanie, 34, of 326 Avenue south, walked into the cafe. After a moments hesitation, the bandit turned around and ran quickly out the back door. The description of the bandit given by Mr. McCook was: About five feet, eight inches in height, medium build; fair complexion.

The bandit, said Mr. McCook, "snarled when he talked, and his eyes rolled." The bandit wore a wide-brimmed grey slouch hat, a dark shirt, brown Jacket, and dark blue trousers. I would have taken a poke at him, only I wasnt sure what he had in his pocket," Mr. McCook said. "He might not have had anything, anl then he might have had a gun or a knife.

George Karabelis, proprietor of tha cafe, said he had been In business In tbs same place for 12 years, but that he had never been the victim of a robbery or attempt at robbery before. Mr. Karabelis was In the cafe at the time, but not in the immediate vicinity. Neither he nor his chef seemed very much alarmed about the would-be robber's visit. SUGGEST PENSIONS Retirement of a number of street railway employees on a monthly pension will be suggested to City Council at the next meeting by the Street Railway Board.

Four of the employees of the department are more than 70 years of age. The pension suggested would be on the basis of earnings and length of service. COLLEGIATE BOARD The Collegiate Board will meet in the school board office Wednesday evening instead of today. ALEX WEIR Weir said. Come what may, he asserts, the farmers are going to be happier than ten parties of children picnicking at Exhibition Park.

If Mr, Weir can be taken as a sample, ths old optimism and happiness of Western people is back, Mr. Weir not only guaranteed showing 20 of his best ptgs at the annual exhibition, but be is sure there will be more Scots from Aberdeen at the Saskatoon Exhibition from July 24 to 29 than Saskatoon has seen since the "Free Fair days.

The funeral will be held at ten o'clock thla morning, from Lanlwic Greek Catholic Church. Park Funeral Chapel is in charge. The charge was laid by City Clerk M. C. Tomlinson as the secretary of the Saskatoon Relief Appeal Board.

Mr. Vogan was charged with having committed the offense between May 1 and June 6, this year. Relief authorities cut Mr. and Mrs. Vogan oft relief at the beginning of May because they did not move from their present residence at 132 Avenue north to a smaller house, which was to be agreed upon by the relief officers and the Vogans.

Evidence for the prosecution was heard last week. Highlights of this testimony was a statement by Dr. W. P. Neufeld, a witness for the prosecution, who testified that lie had advised Mr.

Vogan not to move in consideration of his wifes poor health. Harry Ludgate, defence counsel, made his motion for dismissal at the conclusion of the prosecutions testimony. City Solicitor R. D. Phillips, who prosecuted, opposed this motion on the grounds that the city had established a prima facie case and held that the testimony for the defence should be heard.

Mr. MacDermid then adjourned for one week to consider the motion. THREE ELEMENTS In his judgment, Mr. MacDermid said that there were three elements which constituted the charge. First, that the accused neglected to provide necessities for his wife, second, that such neglect endangered her life, and third, the absence of a lawful excuse.

In regard to the first element, Mr. MacDermid said that Doctor Neufeld's evidence was that aince tha family had been cut off relief, he had to believe that Mrs. Vogan was not receiving sufficient nourishment. In cross-examination, Doctor Neufeld had said that he was Informed of this at the time and that it was in the selection of food only. FAR SHORT OF PROOF Doctor Neufeld, however, bad not said by whom he had been in formed and therefore this could not be regarded as evidence against the accused, the magistrate pointed out.

There was no direct evidence that the accused omitted to provide necessaries for his wife and therefore he could not find that it could be inferred from the evi denee of Doctor Neufeld. For all I know, the accused gave the woman plenty of money to buy food. True, he had declared no earnings, and Doctor Neufeld mentioned charity. But this falls far short of proof such as is required in a court of criminal law," Mr. MacDermid said.

The magistrate thought that the woman possibly could have selected her own food. I must therefore find that there is not sufficient evidence on this point to put the accused in jeopardy," he said. The prosecution also had failed In regard to the second requirement Mr. MacDermid found. Doctor New feld's evidence had been thet.

he examined Mrs Vogan on June 3. At that time the doctor Vad found the womans blood pressure unusually high and had found her megtally disturbed. The physician had attributed the disturbed condition to the fact that the Vogans had to move Tha doctor had testified that it was a mental condition and had affected the woman's physical condition. He also had said that her general mental disturbance, due to the fact of her having to move, had affected her high blood pressure and had produced the condition In which the doctor had found her. The physician also had said that the fact, that the woman was not getting sufficient nourishment oi the pioper kind, had affected hea physically, I am of the opinion that there is no evldenoe that Mrs.

Vogans life is being endangered by the The Weather At 2 oclock thla afternoon the 8tar-Phoenlx thermometer registered 78 degrees.

When Saskatoon Was Younger From the File of the Phoenix and the Star TWENTY YEARS AGO June 27, 1819.

While the Communists of Hamburg, Germany, were staging riots which took 85 lives, the Spartacans, another radical group, tried unsuccessfully to burn down all public buildings. Many of the workmen at Winnipeg who had been on strike were returning to work. The Riverside Country Club, Saskatoon, was about to open. R. F.

I SEE THE old lady who lived in the shoe has nothing on Alex Weir of Aberdeen. Ha has so many pigs he can't find names for them. He started yesterday to name the 19 winners he showed at Vancouver last year, and the list sounded like a short-wave station. He calls them Aberdeen 63 and other such things, and when they're stubborn, he calls them different names still.

He is one of the biggest pig breeders in Weetern Canada, and plans to show 20 of his best at the Saskatoon Exhibition from July 24 to 29. Evergreen Lassy, a beautiful Yorkshire sow, baa won 10 championships and three grand championships herself. Not content with being envied by every slice of bacon in meat stores, she has pushed her daughters ahead, so that they too win championships. Ten years ago Mr. Weir confessed hs couldn't tell one pig from another He was a Clydesdale man, who also raised the best wheat in the country.

But he decided he wanted a pig. All good farms had pigs on them. So he asked Professor MacEwen at the university to sell him one. The professor sold him a hog that is today the father of the finest Yorkshire drove west of Yorkshire. According to a producer in Toronto last year, Mr.

Weir's pigs made the best showing in Canada last fail. Asked to name tome of his famous grunters, he modestly declined. Buch a feat of memory was too much for him.
