Mr- stressed the responsi- bilities the new Board of Com- mission and the possible darl- ger of tisanship creeping in, A

great a1 will depend on their wisdom and Justice. There was bound be s. lot of poltioal pres- sure d these men should be picked, with very great care.

Ho' Dr. MacMillan said he real the force of the Opposition

‘ leader's remarks. ‘This ides. of Bet-

ting s lnuoh as possibh out of the Gov ment is becoming almost unbearable. One of the latest ap- plications received was that the floternment should pay for con- f'll ment uses. The Old Age Pen- si would probably be tho... big- Belt avenue of demand.

Mr. T. A. Campbell asked if this chose abrogated the functions of Superintendent of Old A89 Pensions. There did not seem any necessity with a minister and Board of Conunissioners, of having a Superintendent.

Hon. Mr. MaoPhee,-sa'd it would be satisfactory in no sense that the minister himself should be the authority to consider and decide on applications. It is contemplated that the Board of Commissioners will act inthat capacity. The du- ties of the Superintendent will be t1 investigate every case, to see that all the evidence, favorable and unfavorable, regarding the appli- cant is obtained and placed before the Board. In ‘the beginning, es- pecially, the Comnfssioner will be a very busy man. The original Act also provided for a Board of Re- view. Personally Mr. MacPhee did not think any - particular need wou‘d arise for the latter board, but provision for it was being re- tained in the Act.

lib. Lea asked if it could not be possible to .. ‘ , ‘e one of the Judges of the Province to hear complaints of petitioners against decisions of the Board of Commis- sion. -

Mr. MacPhee said‘ that if ‘t was found necessary to appoint» s. Board of Review, wine of the Judges would likely be asked to act in that capacity.

Mr, Campbell thought the pro- per Court of Rev'ew would be the County Court Judge in the County in which the dispute arises. The Supeflntendent um’ ~ the Act would be required to pass on tit‘es and conveyances, etc, and would have to be a lega‘ man h'mself or else it would be necessary to em- ploy one or more legal advisers at considerable expense. He suggested

‘that the machinery proposed was

too ambitious for this Province and that clause l should be re- considered in order to abolish the Superintendmfls office at a salary of 9800 and aprdnt instead a le- gal member of the Government to the portfolio of Mnister of Old Ave Pensions at a salary of $1,500.

At 1 p. m. progress was‘ reported and the House took recess.

Assistance To Fishermen

Mr. Bethune explained thsthe had been able to give some assist- ance to the fishermen at Rustico

‘Beach. They had asked for a road and at his request the Government startedthe road. He again took the matter up last year with the Gov- ernment and obtained a further grant to complete the work. In south Rustico a delegation waited upon him with regard to boats

morning from New Brunswick and fishing lobsters out of season. Mr. | Bethune went to Inspector Gallant but the Inspector told him he could

do nothing further. However, with,

Mr. Gallant's approval Mr. Bethune wired to the Minister of Fisheries at Ottawa, as well as Mr. McLure, MP. and Mr. Myers, M.P. He re- ceived a telegram from Mr. Found.

Deputy Minister, that he had ih-f

teroepted the boat A-rras and had her sent down here to hold the middle Strait and he promised to send the iasfist boat he had to discourage illegal fishing. That boat duly arrived and did wonder- ful work aiong the coast. Later a meetng of fikne forty fishermen was held to dismss lobster fishing

from every angle. Before the meet-

ing adjourned Mr. McLure, M. P., stated he would try to get in touch ‘ with the Deputy Minister and bring him here. Later Mr. MbLure in- formed the speaker that the Dep- uty Minister could not attend but he would send down the Chief In- spector, Ml‘. Sutherland. Mr. Suth- erland duly arrived and a. meeting was held which was attended by about 90 representative fishennen. ,The outcome was the appointment ,of three representative fishermen to work with Mr. Sutherland.

Package- Mailed To Pres. Contains

Shot Gan Shell

WATER/TOWN, N. Y., March 30.- (A.P.)-Thc finding of a third pack- age containing a shot gun shell in- tended to be sent through the mails to President Franklin D. Roosevelt at Washington, was revealed by the Post Officc here today.

It was found Wednesday noon at the box across the street from the Post Office where the two previous packages were placed. The latest package was addressed, first Office officials said. to a mnn connected with an air line in New Jersey. They declined to reveal the address of same, or city. A note inside the package asaked that tne container be rcmailcd to Mr. Roosevelt.

lnvutigation began after postbl clerks recognized the hand-writing of the addresses the sama as that on the previous packages. Postal Inspect us C. F. Ford and E. B. Teaglc were notified and were to arrive here today. Officials declin- ed to make public further infonna- tion.

His demeanour lent apparent strength to the testimony of Dr. W.’ D. Furl-est, called by the defence to give evidence as to the mentality of , Crowley. The medical expert clas- sed the prisoner as an imbecile and dccl -' that questioning of the ac- cused had shown‘ him to possess the mentality of a child of seven years. Another witness today was John Crawley. Younger brother of Sam and an eye-witness to the death of his father. “Sam hit pupil)’ with

'the axe; I saw pappy fall and 5am dropped the axe and ran,” he relat- ,

ed. The incident had taken place at the Crowley homestead in the colored community of . , Just across the harbor from Halifax. The fact that the son had run away after the deed had shown ability to discriminate beLween right and wrong, Crown nosecutor R. H. Murray urged before the jury. "It is a pitiful case,“ commented Chief
