ST. JOHNS, Nfld_. Feb. 15-Roy-|

al Commissioner Walker yesterday opened his inquiry into the circum- stances lindei' which nearly two nilllloii dollars were spent on cut- ting of pit props and pulpwood by the Department of Agriculture and Mines of the Federal Government during the years 1921, 1922 and 1923 when Dr. Alexander Campbell, (n native of Souris, P. E. l.) was mln- lster. The allegations being con- sidered are those of wrong doing and extrlivagunce in connection with what were inaugurated and conducted throughout ns relief works.

The dny's investigation passed without .any outstanding develop- ments George E. Turner, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Mines, was the only witness summoned. In his testimony he told of the making of contracts and the pay- ment of accounts. In many cases it was shown, big over-payments occuricd, these being-due to atl- vances on contracts which were not fulfilled.

Some ol’ the :itlvances for wlilcli

pulpwooil or pit props were not produced in sufficient quantity to- talled as high xiii $5,0_Il0, which amounts the government is now try ing to recover. - Sir Richard Squires and Dr. Alex- ander Camphell nie being represent ed in both their personal and form- er official capacities ns Prime Min- ,ister and Minister of Agriculture ‘and Mines respectively by \V.
