Says “Lying Cables” C a nu s e d Magnate’s Death -- Believes Sir William’s Assistants Will Go Through With Contract

OTTAWA. June 17.—-W. T. R. Preston, whose report to the Do- minion Government charged that the North Atlantic Conference was a steamship conference operating inn restraint of Canadian trade, told newspupermen here today that the death of Sir William Petersen, Bri- tlsh shipping magnate who died. here last Friday was caused by “damnably lying" cablegrams sent to the directors of his company by "agents of the shipping combine.

Mr. Preston and F. McGregor Private Secretary to Premier King accompanied the body which left for England today.

"They killed liiim," .\lr, Preston repeated. “They cabled lies to his directors that Sir Willlmn propos- ed going ahead with a contract for two years without any guarantee from the Canadian government. This was absolutely false, the con- tract was going through for a trial period of two years to sec what ro- siilts would be obtained. But there was never any question of Sir Wil- liam going through with tho scheme without any assistance from the government.

The Last Straw

“And that killed him. It was tho last straw. J-lo wornied about it terribly as he was unaccustomed to such outrages back home in Eng- land where a man in public life is given at least some fair treatment.

__"On the very afternoon of his death, as we sat chattting in his rooms, he told me of the arrange- ments he was completing to secure

other vessels that would transport cattle to England from Canada at $15 a head.

"Sir William's death is a natfon-

al disaster."

Mr. Preston expressed tlio belief

that Sir William's assistants would go through with the tentative eon- tract which as in its near-final stag es when the sudden death of the shipping magnate ther consideration.
