Get survey map and send Andrew Eraser Mitchell.

Q. Thole. were your instructions received attire last interview with Mitchell?

A. Yes: that save meworkilng instructions. _

MR. INMAN: ma you write that yourself or did be write it?

A. I-Ie wrote it roughly one even- ing at dinner and his stenographer put It out in type. The power of attorney is so limited that as it stands it was vaiueiess unless I got further instructions from him.

MR. GAUDET:

. .Q. Did you get any further com- munication from Mitchell after you left Liverpool?

A. Yes. on the 22nd of October I got a cable at Emerald. asking me to cable details as to contract. also the best bank to send my money to, and giving me his kind- est regards. That was the lust communication I received from him.

Q. Did you get any remittances of money since you came here?

v A. No. I arrived at Emerald. I am not sure of the data but the steamer got to Quebec on Monday the 12th or 14th and we arrived at Emerald the next afternoon about 5 o'clock. We got fixed up at tlio station and on the next day I wont to see Mr. Schurman. I came away with two plans to guide me, "for Quinn and Steedmaws houses. which were to be built for 81,081, I saw Schurman and asked him wlini liud been dons and what contracts be had. He said he had nothing ex- cept the original contract letter and specification for the house his had built. I showed llilll these. "That is wrong.“ he said and produced un- other plun of which i have a small copy hers, which is very different from these, only shout hulf the size. lie took me with him in his motor car to see the ‘building. I saw the bungalow, and in my opin- ion it is absolutelytoo small for anything. it might be possible for a man and his wife to live there in the slimmer but there s no arrange-

[O

mont for water, no outbuild- ings and no arrangement for storage. In my opinion it

is an impossible little place to live in for the winter. The accommoda- tion ls two small bed-rooms. In the plan I had they were toéba 15 X 11 and 13 X 11 with a bath room be- itwocn them. The bungalow itself .conmins one room 10.6 X 8.6 and -tlie oiher‘11.6 X8. 'I‘lie plan Mit-

chell gave me contains a living

room, a dining room and kitchen;

in the bungalow built there is a llivlug room and kitchen and a [small pantry. I saw the letter Mr. ,Schurmun showed me be wrote to iMr. lllitchell which formed the con- tract and he toldme that was the house that he arranged with Mr. Mitchell in hill. office to build for 81,081. absolutel could build. Then I began to feel that something was not quite right, as he had sent me out with these pluus as the house that he bud arranged lo be built and Mr. Schur- man said this other mun was the one that liad been agreed upon. I saw Hon Mr. Sinclair. l-Ie seemed rather reticent with me at It was two days before I saw him again. Everybody round about Emerald wanted to talk to ms during that time. funn-

ers and everybody. unil without mentioning thin scheme or the bungalow I slowly came to the con- cliision. '

MR. INMAN: Your cannot be lakes down.

MR. GAUDET: Let him tell his story.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL: iio nn. Mr. Jackson.

A. They talked with me about conditions and things and I cnnio lo the conclusion that n siupli plot of 4 acres would not be enough for il mizu to got u living on.

THE "ATTORNEY GENERAL: A. vcry important conclusion.

A. I iiiso found out for cei-iiiin. without forming any conclusion at ull, that the house would be im- poiiiiiiilo to live in during the wint- er whim tho roads were blocked up and you could not get quantities of provisions. etc. I iinw Mr. Sinclair {IKlliILflINl told hiin that I illil not quite like things. that it ivni-i not right to be i-uriit out bore expecting ll ircrisin kind of house and finding n totally different one. I said I did not think the land large enough for ii man to earn u living on. Then he told mo his opinion, which did not change the ironclus- ion I hail come to. We got into communication with Mr Thompson at Amherst. asking him to conic over. He said lic could not. so I wenl. to him.

He» said, "That is all I canto! yomlwl asked about the survey plain-ho said they hid got the survlly and that was sent on to Mitchell. I-Ie drove me to Backvtllc and I came back. Then it seemed to me if I assisted Mr. Mitchell in this work, to get other officers out under tiiesa conditions. I was assisting him to get my brother officers here under false pretenses. and that wbatover al- ready I bad written to him I could not with honor continue in this work. So I sent him s. cable stat- ing: “Owing to your gross mis- representation I decline to assist you further." On October 22nd. as I said before. I received a cable from him. asking rue where to send my monoyto. ince then I have received no co imuriicatioii from Mitchell.

Q. Where are you living now? A. i um in ii houso. vacant for two years. at Summer-field, Emerald. near Mr. Sinclair. I have my wife and faintly tliure, trying to get comfortable for the winter so that I cup i_urn round and see what can be doue.

Q. You propose to buy some on your own account?

A. I might do that, but I should not IIEVJ coma out except on the salary. I have not enough money to buy land us it is.

Q. You have not paid any money to Mitchell, as far as you are con- cernedl.

A. No, I ifllllii‘. lierr- as his agent. Q. But you are lust .as inucli disappointed as the other follows? A. I am, yos.

Q. Alter replying to him you have nothing to do now further? A. Not now. There might have. been if I bad been willing to get these people out here still. under the some conditions he detailed. I could have found iota to do.

Q. What about thoso other gentlemen mentioned by Mitchell in" his leitor?

A. In London he showed me about fifty names of people who were coming out before Christmas. There ls no means of getting in touch with them; if it were poss- ible I should have done so.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL:

Q. They have not arrival?

A. No."

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL: I om afraid I have had a com- munication from Allenby and I replied pretty strongly. I gave him my estimate of the value of his land and advised him to got into communication with Sir Charles Russell. i

The Commissioner:

I Q. Did Mitchell puy you any- thing at all? A. No, The money I received

from lilm was my expenses for the two or three visits l paid him lti London. and to leave England he gave mo 30 pounds towards the extra expense involved in going by Quebec sud Liverpool instead of Southampton. ' MR. GAUDET: Q. You paid your own pssrage?

A. I Rave tho White Star Com-

pany my own cheque »for our fares. - Q. Did you receive nothing on

account? _

A. No. I would not accept It. I felt that if I took money from biin I was simply taking the money of my brother officers at home.

Q. Did Rollsou come out?

A. I believe be has sailed.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL:

Q. When you were discussing their mutter did Mitchell disclose to you how he field the land?

A. No. I never questioned that.

Q. He told you what be was charging those men‘?

A. Yes. be bad to when lie talked about Duthls and Butler being disappointed. I think l saw a letter or a newspaper cutting, something about them being charged too mucli. He said "Per- haps we are charging a lot for the land. but we rnust get something out of it to pay the expenses of this place in London: when they got out thero they will find that they have not paid too mucli for the land by long odds, when they get going." Iie wanted to make my appointment with bim a Govern- ment appointment and the reason I declined was that If I accepted any Government appointment the Admiralty will slop enough of my retiring pay to make that up: iio I insisted that it should be s privnic mutter.

MR. GAUDET: As for as you are concerned you came in for the pen- sion and 300 pounds?

A. No .200 pounds. At home that was not enough to keep myself and family, especially as it happens that nextyeor I sxpsct a cut of at least 40 pounds it yea-r, since the cost of living has come down con- siderably. _

addressed to the Commissioner is as follows:

STATEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH ANDREW FRASER MIT- CHELUS COLONIZATION ACT- IVITIES ON PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.

I have boon reading with inter- est tho reports in the press of the

proceedings of the investigflllofl Into the activities of Andrew Fraser Mitchell. From ihese re-

ports I w0u'.'i gather that you are somewhat in the dark as to Capt- ain Dudley's and my connection with the matter under review. For your enlightenment. therefore. I ivlsli to make the following state- meni.

Some time along about the first of this year, Mr. Mitchell who was then residing in Amherst, outlined to me a scheme of colonization‘ which ho was proposing to the Prince Edward Island Govern- ment. Tho proposal as iio explain- 'ed it. was. to set ‘aside some land in u. central location for the establishment of a Colony English, Scotch and Irish Officers who were being retired from _ Military and Civil Service in India. 'M-tcliell declared he was borniin Iiidlu , his father still residing there, being an Inspector In tlio Eil- ucatlonal Department of the British Civil Service. I-Ie, there- fore, posed as somewhat of illl authority on the possibilities oi‘ uttrncting these Officers, many cl‘. whom be led me to believe were comparatively young men of in- ilependeut means and receiving a retiring bonus and pension. Mit- cbcll was of the opinion that he

could also attract many other British subjects of independent means, who wore anxious to leave the Isles on account q the

heavy taxation in force there.

I have realized for u number of years the urgent need of suitable settlers and additional capital for‘ the settlement and t’... lopmeut of this part of the Dominion. M|t-‘ chairs proposition. as be explain- ed it, looked like an excellent opportunity to secure both. It therefore interested me.

Mr. Mitchell, as you know, ceived I'D appointment as ii Special Representative of your Government and I isko it that the whole scheme must 'hs.ve~ been fully explained and understood be-
