Commission Finds Strong Evidences

(From Our Own Correspondent.)
OTTAWA, Ont., May 15_-Your com-
missioners are of the opinion that
there are many circumstances connec-
ted with this fire tllat lead ,to a stron
suspicion of inclndiarism, especially i
view of the fact that the evidence is
clear that `no one was smoking in th
the parliament buildings at Ottawa
on the evening of February 3.
The commissioners did not succeed
in getting John Itathom, Editor and
g Manager of the Providence Journal
n to come to Ottawa but on the 13th of
this month they secured a statement
e from him in which Ile asserted that
reading room for some time previous three weeks before the ilre he notified
to the outbreak of the fire, und als
to the fact that the ilre could llt\ hav
occurred from deflectlve electric wires.
but while your commissioners are o |
such o inioll there is nothing ill til
0 the United States District Attorney,
e H. Snowdell Marshall, of New York,
that ill three weeks from that time the
f, buildings would be destroyed by fire
c lulld that Mr. Marshall publicly acknow-
H
evidence to justify your commissioners lcd ed the notification. Ml' Rathom
ill finding that the ilre was malicious-,
ly set."
This is the outstanding conclusion
reached by Robert A. Pringle, K. C.,
and Judge N. B. Mc'1‘nvIsh the com-
missioners appointed to inquire into
the causes of the fire which destroyed
ii
said the information came ' directly
from the German embassy but he was
not in a position to-make public the
name of his informant.
Col, Sherwood, Commissioner of Do-
minion Police states that this informa-
tion never reached Ottawa.

WHAT HAPPENED
THE CENSURE VOTES
IN LEGISLATURE
r  [` 'N'-_ "____‘_`  ;_`>__;m > i
I
Hon H_ D. McEWEN said that Ile did
not approve _of doing road work in
election year and he would say that
very little was done in his district, alld
where, allY.W9l'li was done it was
through absolute necessity. So far
as corrupting electors was concerned,
the Government's predecessors were
past masters- at the art. if anybody
was. For twenty 'years he had watched
the tactics of the hon. gentlemen and
he could show where $100 had been
spent on a. road in his district which
was not opened yet. Everybody knew
how the hay was used one year for
corrupting the electors. In regard to
the system of doing work, Mr. Mc-
Ewen said he had been ,over thirty
years doing contract work off and -on,
and his experiences nlld fflrm belief
was _that if the right man was got io
do work by the day it was the cheapest
way. If they got a man on contract
work they had to get the right man ro
inspect the work. I-le had no doubt
that .more than one-third was saved
by getting a good man to do work by
da_y’s work. in the end day’s work
was the cheapest and best_ ' When
gentlemen in the Opposition tried to
make the country _believe that the
government was losing money by day's
work they did not know what theyl
I.
were talking about, -because they lleve
hlid .any experience along that line.
Hb know men who were always allx-
lolfs to advise others as to how they
should conduct their business. but
who. were never able to make ends
meetthemselves. In concluding his
remarks on this subject, Holi. Mr. Mc-
Ewen said: “[ believe that this gov-
erlililent is doing the work as well as
any government can do it. and I say
so because it is absolutely true. if
I_»believed that the Government was
spending money improperly I would
not justify it."
'Hon._J. A. McNEILL, Commissioner
of Public Works, made a brief but ublc
speech. in which he scored the Opposi-
tion on their paltry criticism. If any
msn shold be disposed to bestow praise
on the roads, that man was Mr. Lea.
in that gentleman's district there was
a roadmaster who had done some of
the finest work in the country. Mr.,
Lea had complained about a certain
"little swamp." Was he ashamed to
name it the other day? lt was know
work; there were 3 systems in uso,
day’s work, sale and tellder. The ell-
gineer made specifications and esti-
mates angl the Commissioner had that
to go by. Work, said the Commission-
er, could not be better done than by
day’s work. Contractors were apt to
neglect their work alld try to make all
,the money they could out of it. He
challenged any of tho Opposition to
put his hand on a dollar that had been
mls-spent. It was no use for them to
go around with that moollslline, they
had not shown anything against him
yet and never could. <Applause.)
Hon_ CHAS. DALTON said that the
people were praising the 'roads
throughout lilo country, and ill ills
district the Government had done well
ill this regard, and Ile hoped the roads
would continue in the future to be as
good as they were at present.
Mr. l)cwar's amendment was then vo-
ted oll and carried.

(Ottawa Free Press, Liberal)
Major C. S. Mullock, chaplain of the
07th Overseas Battalion (American
Legion), who is remembered ns pastor
of the Church of our Father on Elgin
street, Ottawa, was ill the city yester
day, and dropped ill on the sitting ol’
thc Meredith-iluil' Commission.
When seen by ll Free Press rcport-
er, the major said: “This all reminds
me of a trip I l'ccelltly made dowll ill-
to Quebec. On the train from Monc-
treal I met a senator, a leader and n
close friend of Mr. Carvell, who out-
lined to me the very testimony I have
been hearing since this facial inves-
tigation began, and when I remun-
strated with the charge that mere :ls
sertlon was not proof. and i’ollcv'<»l
this up by asking ‘what evidence have
you that the shell committee is crook-
ed?" I was answered ‘None, I wish
we llad.’ 
“When I said 'What is Carvell driv-
ing at then if you don't expect to
prove anyt|liug‘?‘ he said: OH, WE
,ARE MAKING CAMPAIGN LITERA-
TURE; THE PEOPLE WILL READ
THE STATEMENTS AND MANY OF
THEM WILL BELIEVE WHAT THEV
READ.'
"This caused me to say: “We have
rotten politics over in the States, but
any mall wllo would try a thing like
that would be ostrucized by the dcc-
ent tllillklllg people of the wllole coull-
tr .'
¥'But the whole thing dovetailed so
perfectly with an experience I had
just had, that I was not surprised.”
Pressed for all explanation. the mn-
jor. told quite an interesting story.
Major Bullock said that when he
returned from a recent trip to the Pa-
cific coast, during which he had be-
gun the organization of two new bat-
talions for the American Legion. he
