Ontario Conspiracy case unsettles Ontario politics

The Ontario Government conspiracy case drew public attention as it was sent to the Privileges and Elections Committee for investigation. In Toronto Police Court Wilkinson and Kirkland faced warrants while C. W. Blanting, Edward Meek, and a local lawyer were summoned for conspiring to interfere with constitutional procedures. Bail was refused for Wilkinson and Kirkland, who were remanded until Friday with extensive penalties possible. Kirkland, a Neilsville, Wisconsin resident, also has timber interests on the Ontario US boundary. Across town, Rafferty & Co’s coal mine fire near Sloaner’s Station triggered a large, smoke-filled rescue effort. Two hundred workers battled the blaze, many suffocating from smoke, before efforts paused and later lamps and hoses were dispatched from the city.
