Crown Attorney Says
' His Release on Bail
Was Illegal. Adcus-
ed of Serious Offence
ttlsnediair" Press) '_“"‘ `
OTTAWA. Feb. 26,-Louis M. Aug-
er, M. P., lor Prescott Coimty, who
was released on bail of $1,000 last
night following his arrest on a charge
of committing s. serious offence
against a young women was in cus-
tody agaln today.
Upon his arraignment in police
court today it was disclosed by J. A.`
Ritchie, Crown Att/omey that Mr.
Auger had been illegally released. He
declared that the criminal code pro-
vides that -boil could only be granted
by a Judge of the Supreme Court of
Ontario, where ia person is accused
of murder, treason or any onence
punishable by death. The contention
was upheld by the Court and Mr.
Auger was ordered held in custody
until such time as proper bail could
be arranged.
Raoul Mercier, counsel for the ac-
cused polnted out that there would bc
no Supreme Court Judge in Ottawa
for several days. If the technicality
were enforced he would be compelled
to apply to o Supremo Court Judge
in Toronto for bail. On behalf of his
client he asked for a remand of one
week, which was granted.
Mr. Auger was' arrestad by detect-
ives last niaht as he left the Parlia-
ment Buildings.
In an interview following his liber-
ation he stoutly denied that there
was anything to the charge, and the
lsss said about the matter until it is
cleared up, the better. he said.

Insurance.
i ((Uor'ladian Press)
OTTAWA, Feb. 28.-Eight of Can-
ada's provinces have replied to re-
quests from the Minist/er of Labor to
express their attitude towards insur-
ance agdinst unemployment, sickness
and invalidity. With the exception of
Prince Edward Island, Hon. _Peter
Heenan, Minister of Labor, told the
select standing committee of commons
on industrial and international rela-
tions _today al_l the provinces have
signified their intention in the prob-
lem, but are not enthusiastic to adopt
at present a scheme of insurance as
suggested.
Bome of t.he provinces, the minister
explained, took the position that foo-
ed. with the old ago pensions plan,
they must hesitate to embark upon
any new scheme until they hdd dis-
covered what success the ilrst piece
of social legislation meets.
Mr. Keenan said he studied the
sickness problem in England but that
in conversation with experts there he
had leaiiiea that until some tentative
plush ,were outlined no calculation as
to mit could be made. It might be
for some of her ecoiidmic 'experts to
visit Europe and study the system
as it_had been adopted there. If Can-
ada were to make a success of the
invalidity, unemployment and sickness
insurance. it would have to develop
some wide system for without the full
co-operation of the provinces he
doubted that it would accomplish the
end at which it was aimed. in theory.

NEW CONS UL |
li' uid. ite comic to arrange _
SUMMERBIDE, Feb. 28.-Although
the civic election at Sumlnerside yes-
terday was a quiet affair compared
with some ot the old time contests
the percentage on polling was higher
than usual. Mr. L. M. MacNeiil hav-
ing been elected councillor for the
West Ward by acclamatlon on nom-
ination day. Polling was for the
choice of e. mayor, two councillors
and one water and sewerage commis-
sioner. For chief executive the cm-
didates were Mr. W.- J. Lidstone, who
has held the premier position on sev-
eral previous occasions and is an old
civic campaigner, and Mr. B. W.
Robinson, who has served with dis-
tinction on the Council Board for one
term only. Considering this, heput
up a good fight and has nothing to
he ashamed of in falling exactly one
hundred votes behind, especially when
we remember that at last year's elec-
tion Mayor Arnett was returned by
majority of no less than 295 votes
'thc gentlemanly and sportsmanlike
manner in which the contest was
conducted.
For the two councillors the con-
test was the closest for many years,
Mr. W. J. Kelly being elected fo_r_ the
East Ward by a margin of only five
votes and Mr. L. A. Moore for the
Centre Ward with only seven votes
to spare. For Water and Sewerage
Commissioners there were three can-
didses and the contest was won by
Mr. Joseph Richards with a majority
of thirty nine.
The following is the summary of
the poll:
