41 ARE AFTER DRIVERS

ST. CATHARINES. Ont., Aug. U.— Reeve Samuel Shields of Clinton town­ship returned yesterday from a tr ip to Xieeton, Ont., near where he visited the home of Alexander Hodge, the Scotch farmer, who a couple of weeks ago killed a robber who was trying to get $500 from Hodge, which had Just been paid to him by some drovers. The 'case is attracting wide attention. Mr. Shields says that he talked with many of the neighbors and acquaintances of Hodge and they all have the most 1m. pllcit confidence in him, though they never suspected he would be the kind of a man who could put up such a trojanie struggle. In the Hodgo home where the fight took place, the walls and everything, Shields said, a re mark­ed with blood, and in the fight even the big kitchen stove was broken and had to be carried out in pieces. While there arc many suspicious circum­stances, Shields says, the people who know Hodge are behind him to a man.

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont., Aug. 11.— D. B. Hanna, chairman of the Ontario Liquor Control Board, states tha t no complaint has been made to the board, relative to the probability of the Na­tional Brewers' concern, a Quebec con­cern withdrawing from the Ontario field.

There are In Ontario 4% warehouses whero beer Is stored and sold. There are 55 liquor shops where beer In cer­tain quantities and all hard liquors are sold.

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont , Aug. 12.— Trafficking in stolen automobiles on both sides of the border has become such a serious mat te r tha t It Is un­derstood tha t the at torney-general ' s department will take steps to over­come it by introducing new laws covering registration of all sales of second-hand cars and adopting a s tandard plate on engines for the stamping of serial numbers and mak­ing some provision to prevent re-stamping.

Authorities believe that the more daring of the bootleggers who have found leaks a t the border points plug­ged since the investigation of liquor running by the royal commission and the introduction of the Liquor Con­trol act in the province, have turn­ed their attention to stealing auto­mobiles.

Police and private agencies are convinced that cars are stolen on both sides of the river, numbers changed and other means, taken to avoid detection of the cars.
