WHAT HAPPE
THE CENSU
IN L
TUESDAY, MAY 2 (CONTINUED. ‘
Mr. Hughes moved a third vote of
censure on the Government to the ef- fect that by the financial record of the Government it had forfeited the centi- dence of the people. He repeated his views on the alleged extravagance of the Government, especially regarding Falconwood.
Mr. Gallant seconded_ . Hon CHAS. DALTON, npennlng par- ticularly in regard to thc asylum, ask- ed whether the Opposition membersiiad realized that the cost of food stuff had increased' nearly 100 per ccnt.'? And. again, did they reflect on the increased number of patients? There was a great deal of difference between the quality of the rations at the institution to-day and u few years ago, when bad meat and butter was supplied. A pa- tient had been dead several days be- fore any notice was taken of the corpse inthe room. The matter was not rc- ported to the doctor. Now Falcon- wood was one of the finest institutions of the kind in the Maritime Provin- ces. ' - Mr. MciNNES said he could not al- low the statement to pass that the i.:- berais- had supplied the inmates oi lfalconwood with rotten meat and but- tbr.‘ He ns a member of the Public Afooonntg Committee had visited the institution and in reply to questions tile officials had said that the provi-
we supplied had always been good.

qgppiylng good food, had denounced .t_ ern for supplying rotten meat and butter. The officials themselves had siid the food was always good. ~ Mr. PATON pointed out that ae a iflsult of the investigation of the Pub- lic Accounts Commitee it had been as-
otiiaained that there were 62 more pa- tents in Falconwood to-day than in 1,911. and at $3 per head each per week some $1,000 of the difference between 1 ose years could be accounted for in

the province during the past 4 years of $16,144; and _
“WHEREAS there was also paid by
this Government during the same pe- riod the claim of Walter Lowe and other debts and liabilities, in addition to the said sum of $1,072,595, amount- ing to the further sum of $11,083, whilst every public service of this pro- vince was greatly improved:
“Tl-IEREFORE RESOLVED that the
Goveriiincut deserves the confidence and support of the Legislature and people of this province for a period of progress unequalled since Confede- ration.”
Hon Mr. MCEWEN, in secondlng the
resolution, said he had listened to a good deal of speech on the other side that could hardly be analysed. In his opinloii there was not a man in the Opposition who believed anything that had emanated from that quarter on the subiects unde rdiscussion. They simply wanted to get a rehash of ex- ploded matter into their paper for their faithful followers to read. After all their promises of sensational charges theyhad not been able to substantiate a single statement they had made. The mountain had labored and brought forth a mouse! They dared not make a direct charge oi’ falsifylng the ac- counts. because tlicy knew there was nothing in it. It seemed to him that they possessed a wniuicrful amount of courage to talk as they did, when they thought of their own record for the past 20 years, during which time they had a yearly deficit of $45,000! In 1911 they were “down in their rub- bers." and one of their best men said to to him (Mr, McEwen) that it meant eltlier heavy taxation or complete bankruptcy. It was ii very fortuiiato circumstaiice' for the country at thnt time that a man of Premier Mathie- son‘s ability was elected. The Op- position said that the present Govern- ment got $100,000 more than the Ll- berais got. Well. every dollar had been accounted for. They did not get it because they had not a man of _Pro- mier Mathieson's ability. Everybody knew why certain men in the Opposi- tion were attacking Mr. Mathiesoii: it was simply because ha was a thorn in their sides, and if he were only out of their way they would have "a happy hunting ground." .
Mr. IIELL said the increase in ex-
penditure was due to increase in sn- laries, increase in number of officials

LONDON, May 13.- The London
Daily Teiegrapli’s Rotterdam corres_ pondent says, according to reliable in- formation he has received, Germany`s next harvest is bound to be a failure.
“lt is thc hopeless prospect for the
future," he says, “that has impelled the German Government to a desper- aio peace overture, through the mo- dium of negotiations with the United States.
"The failure of the harvest is due
entirely to the blockade. German crops wil be poor because German ground is impoverished, and tho ground is impoverished because the British navy hue cut of'l' from Germany all its overseas supplies, first, of cattle feeding stuffs; second, of artl_ flclal fertilizers. In all ports ofthe empire farmers have reported that their land will not this year bear its full yield.
"With this fact now before it. the
Government knows that even if strived off in the meantime. famine next winter is inevitable.”

OTTAWA, May 12-Tl. F. Youakum
the New York financier so prominent- ly mentioned in connection with thc organization of the American Ammu- nition Company was the centre of in- terest at the Meredith-Dui'i’ inquiry today. His evidence went to show that the division of his Commission on the fuse contract to his company was made pro rata as fuses were delivered but it was also shown that these pay- ments were made on foreign orders. lt was also shown that Col. J Wesley Allison had a general agreement with Youakum to receive half the profits on
'all War orders handled by them. Mr.
Youakum proved a very frank and at times aninsiiig witness, talking with alarming alacrlty of millions and occa- sionally giving surprislng insight into the methods of the New York high financier with whom he was accus- tomed to associate, With regard to the Commission paid he was extreme- ly frank. Those, he said, were ii vcry important part in every large trans- action. Men in such large business re- cognizing that the sale exp(-iises must be heavy, and improved considerably in the way ot' coininissions. llir. Yonnkum stated emphatically that tho impressions which had been pub- lished broadcast in Canada that the monry divided in commissions was the million dollar advance from the Shell Committee. was nn untruc one.
'Tho commissions had been alloied
and were being paid “as and when" the fuses had been delivered and paid for.
The Kytc charge which the (‘om-
mission is investigating was summed up hy the member for Richmond in his speech in Parliament on Mer,¢-.li 28th in the following words: "Ten days before contract was entered into between the Shell Committee and the American Ammunition Company and the day before they were incorporat- ed, II_ F. Youakum, E. B. Cadwell and Company and a man named Bassick. entered into an agreement to divide the spoils arising out of the contract to be thereafter executed between the American Ammunition Co. and the Shell- Committee of Canada. This of
course, meant the dividing up of $1,000,000 which was paid at the t me. As the agreement shows Mr. Youaltum told thi; Committee today that out ot his commission he had paid $30,000 tn J. B. Craven of New York of the firm of Craven and McAvity, partly on payment for Craven's work in bring- ing the fuse contract first to his at- tention. and partly as on investment on prospective business to be done with the McAvity firm of Bt. John. N. B., the well known Liberal contract- ors of that city and enlightening com- ment on the sidelight on the progress of the enquiry vru inMe“thle morn- ing 'by Sir . Meredith when he laid
"it it in A het. nl lr, Oeidwgtt me, that there on no moment to tl de profits than the very beets of this h~ qiilry is goals." However the
the acts of the Kii1g‘s enemies” Mr Youakum will resu e his testimony on Wednesday mornlidg.
