BY NORMAN CAMPBELL Canadian Press Staff Writer TORONTO, March 5 - A New-

foundlander, centre of several On- tario political storms, tonight found himself a man without a party.

Dr. A. Duncan Roberts, Sault

Ste. Marle’s representative in the Ontario Legislature, was read out of the Liberal party and accused by his leader, Premier Mitchell Hepburn, of "bla.ckmailing” andof “conduct unbecoming a member of the Legislature."

Dr. Roberts was told he would

be moved to the opposition bench- es Monday. Thomas Kidd, whip of the Conservative party, with which the Sault member was at one time identified, made it plain no welcome waited him in that pal'ty's caucus.

The Premier‘s action. stirring

climax to as stormy a week as the Legislature has seen in years, came in answer to Dr. Roberts' charge in the House yesterday, when he accused Premier Hepburn of “utter dlscourtesy and cheap autocracy" Dr. Roberts expressed resentment at announcement of an Ontario iron-orc bounty 'being made through a private individual.

The Premiers anger with Dr.

Roberts far outreached his annoy- ance Tuesday night when he ad- journed the House because of one condupt of Hon. Peter Heenan, minister of lands and forests. Mr. Hcenan dened the speaker in ln- sisting on interrupting George Henry, Conservative House leader.

Dr. Roberts made his charge be-

cause the Ontario Governments intention to pay a bounty oi’ 81.02 a ton on iron ore beneficiated (treated for the removal of foreign substances) was made known by Sir James Dunn, president of the Algoma Steel Company. Dr. Rob- erts thought he should have been permitted to make the announce-

ment he said. '

Today Mr. Hepburn declared Dr.

Roberts’ animosity was chiefly be-

Admission he had poached lobsters in 1933 and 1934 was made today by William E. Reid, Cape Tormen- tine, alobster guardian for the Department of Fisheries last year. He was the first witness ca`led thi: afternoon before the Royal Commission inquiring into illegal fishing of ilobstcrs and smelts. Local sittings of the Commission were scheduled to open last Mon- day but did not start until today owing to illness.

Sault Bte. Marie was the second censure of a Sault Ste. Marie member by his leader. James Lyons, former minister of lands! and forests, sat for the Sault when i his resignation from the cabinet was requested by Premier Fergu- son because a relative of the min- ister was said to have PYOUBEU from a Government contract.

Premier Hepburn said Dr. Rob-

erts had earned a public reP\'\' mand because of his "unwarrant- ed" attack on mm and sir James;

Dunn.

The Premier revealed that this

afternoon Liberal members of the House met' and discussed Dr. Rob- erts' attack. They passed a reso- lution of confidence ln the Prem-I

The Premier said last year Sit

He abandoned the illegal practice because the catch was insufficient to _warrant con- tinued fishing. Some of the lob- sters were sold to Maritime Pack- ers, Limited.

Reid declared he had never been

bothered by guardians. He saw pa- trol boats “but they were lighted up like tourist resorts and were easy to steer clear of." He was nfvcr chased. “All the Arleux (a patrol boat) was interested in was to see if :ome poor guy earning about $30 a month had a 25 cent license. and- then they had to get the Gulf Rover (another patrol craft) down to help_3§em in that work," said Reid.

Last year he found 30 or 40 ber-

ried lobsters, that had been wash- ed, in every eight or ten crates oming from Prince Edward Is- :-md “to buyers in the Gulf or on thi* side."

lies.

To obtain support of French cap-

By the loan, to be the only one ` in 1927, Blum seeks to procurel

some francs.

For thc moment. the franc was

expected to rest approximately at its present level which is about 105 to the pound sterling and 21.50 to the United Stntcs dollar. No dcf- inite pegging rate was announced.
