OTTAWA, Ont., Mar. 15. —(By the Canadian Press) -- Senator Andrew Haydon today declared that about the beginning of 1929 Robert O. Bweezey, former Presi- dent of the Beauhamois Company, informed him he could not get a contract with the Ontario Hydro- Electric Commission because G. Howard Ferguson, then Premier 01 Ontario, "wouldn't _let it be signed until he got $200000."

This was the final word in the evidence of the Senator taken at his home today, before the Senate Beauharnols Committee adjourned his examination to another date. It followed a. lengthy interroga- tion by J. A. Mann, Committee Counsel, nsequcnt upon the Sen- ator's evidence given under ques- tioning by R. S. Robertson, his legal adviser.

The committee repaired to 8m- ator Hayden's home tl\is after-

Regals, 2; Crystals, 6.

On Thursday the Summerside Crystals journeyed to Alberton and ' defeated the Regals 6-2. The Crys- tals did not have their full lineup

but they had no more than enough, l

| for before the game was 15 minutes old, E. MacDonald, o. former Crystal appeared in Regal colors and was {by far the best mun on the ice. i The game got away to a slow start "and before many minutes had i elapsed the mighty “Chick“ coasted ‘ through the Alberton defence to score 3 goals on O'Brien, who didn't v have a chance. Another nard shot from the blue line and the score was 4-0. In the second period play was more-evenly divided. A. Aherirn, second team goalie, guarded the Regals’ net and "turned in a very good game. MacDonald finally broke the goose egg on rt beautiful solo. D. Gallant retaliated and the period ended 5-1. In the third per- iod MacDonald and D. Gallant got one apiece and the final score was 6-2. llegais—Goal, O'Brien and A- hearn; Defence, W. Oulton, K. Profit; Forwards, H. Barbour, H. Jeffrey, H. Larkin, E. MacDonald, B. I. Raynor, J.

was endeavoring to recall conver- sations he had had with Mr. Sweezey in connection with Beau- harnols. He remembered one oc- casion at the beginning of 1929.

“I asked him, of what good was Beauharnois," the Senator said. “It didn't seem to me of any value because Mr. Sweczey had no tak- ers of power. I asked him if no had any contracts. He replied that he hadn't. particularly. He thought about the Americans who would settle there when the en- terprise began. I said, ‘What's the good, if they won't be nailed down?’ He declared then, ‘We have a contract in sight with the Ont- ario Hydro-Electric Commission.‘ I said. ‘Didnl; you get it signed?’ His answer was, ‘Howard Fergi son wouldn't let it be signed un- til hc gets $200,000.‘ I said noth- ing aftcr that." This conversation, which too‘: place at Queen's University, Kings- ton, was some time late in 1923 or the beginning of 1929, the’ en- ator repeated.
