-_—_- —— ener THE DAILY EXAMINER. Prohibition Commission. — Summary Report of the Evi- dence. ———- at three o'clock CoMMISSION met The attendance of Tue yesterday afternoon. spectators was small. : His Honor the Master of the Rolls was the first witness called, He said that while practicing his profession he had a good deal to do with the enforcement of the Scott Act. There were about eleven Scott Act appeal cases came up at the ses- sion of the court in Georgetown this sum- mer in all of which the convictions of the Magistrates were upheld except in one case. In Charlottetown he had acted as counsel for the liquor sellers, and in Prince and King’s Counties he had acted for the tem- perance people. Under the Scott Act, drunkenness and perjury had increased in Charlottetown. In the towns public opinion does not support the Act. Public opinion has a great deal to do with the effective enforcement of the Act. He be- lieved the Scott Act was repealed by the people because they conscientiously be- lieved it » failure. It was a complete failure. He was in favor of a license law for the towns, making the liquor seller responsible for all damages that might result from any sales he made. He thought there should be an inspection of liquors offered for sale. The present law had not been in force long enough for him to give an opinion as to the effect it was having. A disgraceful state of affairs had arisen under the Scott Act in Charlottetown, and he believed that it was on accountof this that the Act was re- pealed. He thought there would be a vast deal of smuggling under prohibition, and that great difficulty would be experienced in enforcing such a law. H. M.- Davison, City Clerk, was the next to give evidence. The Scott Act had been repealed before he was appointed. There is no Scott Act fund ; all fines go into the city. He could not tell whether the pre- sent law made things better or worse. Charles Cameron, City Marshal, said he did all he could to carry out the law. He had been marshal a little over a year. _—_L- licit sales of 'iquor were going on under the Seott Act. The present liquor sellers are mostly those who were illegal sellers under the Act. The present regulation hasdoneaway with selling in back places and in grocery stores. He had no difficulty in doing his duty. The Scott Act was bene- ficial to some and to others it was not. He remembered the increase in the pulice force under the old license law. The reason of the increase was because there was a lot of shipping. The sailors could procure as much rum as they wished, and the rows and fights were so numerous that extra help was needed to keep. order. The new law is working well. Drusk- enness is steadily on the decrease since the law came into force. The police do not make many arrests, Sbecauce the liquor shops are all over the city, and if a man wants to get drunk he can do so near home Zand they cannot get them. The number of houses where liquor is sold has decreased. There are now about seventy- five houses in the city where liquor is sold. There is not as much liquor drank now as there was twelve or fifteea years ago. The people have not got the meney to buy it. It would be hard to say how many houses sold |i quor under the Scott Act. In many hovses the stock would be kept in a jar or in a few bottles. Sergeant Joba Allen, keeper of the Gov- ernment Poor House, said they had forty- six iumates in that institution at the pre- sent time—thirty-one males and fifteen females. The principal cause of their being there is old age and infirmity. There may be one or two cases caused by drinking. Rev. James Simpson, Priest Incumbent of St. Peter’s Church, said he had been a resident of the city for some nine years. The Scott Act was law when he came here. He thought drunkenness had increased during the last year of the Act. There was no noticeable inerease in drunkenness after the repeal of the Act. Drunkenness must be dealt with the same as any other sin— by personal contact with the sinner. If a man wants to get drunk he can do s0 no matter what law is in force. He would not favor the re-enacting of the Scott Act after seeing its operation in Charlottetown. He thought the present law, witha few amendments, would be as good as any. He did not think prohibition could be a success here owing to the smuggling. The Scott Act does not’prevent drinking andit encourages sneakiag, hypocrisy and other mean prac- tices. He thought that where license laws were in force they were observed. He thought that if public opinion could be educate 1 up to the enforcement of a gen- eral prohibitory law it might, perhaps, be a success: but he did not think that public opinion had reached that stage yet. Well enforced prohibition would, toa large ex- tent, remove the temptation to drink. Rev. Geo. W. Fisher, Pownal, said he had been a resident of that place for over two years. He was at Alberton before. He found that the Act worked successfully in both places. They have County inspec- tors appointed by the Government. The Act has prevented drinking in both places, but not entirely. It has reduced the sales of liquor at Alberton. Liquor was sold at the Five Mile House in Pownal, but he did not know that any was sold thezye now. The seller had recently been fined and jailed. There was as much breaking of license laws as there was of the Scutt Act. He believed that national prohibition was the best way of dealing with the liquor evil. He thought that pablic opinion on the Island was ripe for it, and that it could be as well enforced aa the Scott Act. He would call it a sin to take a glass of wine. He did not know very much about the way in which the Scott Act was enforced in Charlottetown. He thought that if there were 150 illicit liquor shops in the city under the Scott Act the effect upon the moral welfare of the com- munity would be bad. He was not favor- able tolicense. License would give the trade an air of respectability it has not got now. Noone of respectability cares for being seen going into these liquor places now. When he expressed himself as being in favor of prohibition, he meant prohi- bition for beverage purposes. James H. Reddin, barrister, had been a resident of the city for thirty-five years, and had been practising his profession for about ten years. He did not consider the operation of the Scott Act in Charlotte- Mate cown advantageous to the community. Under it those who desired to drink could get ali they wanted, He supposed that in some places the liquor sold would be better thanfin’others. In che interval between the repealing of the Scott Act and the enacting of the present law liquor wes sold more openly, bu there was no appreciable differ- ence in the amount of drinking and drunk- eaness. The present reguiation was good, but he thought a license law would be bet- ter. He did not think there was more drinking in Charlottetown now than in other cities of the same size elsewhere. He thought there was more drinking in Charlottetown under the old license law than there is at present. In Charlottetown the Scott Act was generally disregarded. He thought that the repeal of the Scott Act here was caused by the fact that the people having had ten years experience of it had arrived at the conclusion that any other system would be much better. There was not much drunkenness in Alberton or Georgetown. He understood, however, that liquor was sold ia both places, He thought that if a general prohibitory law could be properly enforced it would do good. Hedid not think, however, that prohibition could be enforced here except- ing, perhaps, in country towns. Rob. Angus, manager of the telephone exchange, said he came here in 1882, but was first acquainted with the Island in 1880. His business took hita through the Island a good deal. The Scott Act became law in 1881. He thought the Act had done away with drinking in the rural districts, but 1 quor may be obtained in the towns. He had seen an increase of tem- perance in Charlottetowa under the Scott Act. Some times the Act would be better enforced then at others. It could be well enforced when the City Council was favor- able to its enforcement. During the time that there was a paid prosecutor the Act was well enforced, but when he was dis- missed by the Council things fell behind, and for over @ year the law was not enforced as it had been or as it might be. He did not think seventy-five places were needed in Charlottetown to supply the people with drink. He would prefer the preseat law to the Scott Act if the Act was not properly enforced; but would prefer the Act if it was rigidly en- forced. He was not favorable to granting licenses to sell liquor. At 6.15 the Commission adjourned, to meet at 10 next morning. The Commission resumed work at ten o'clock this forenoon. Benjsmin Davies—I was formerly a merchant in Charlottetown, but Jatterly on the P. E. 1. Railway. [I knew Charlotte- town under license, Scott Act and free sale. I don’t think there is 4s much drunkenness now as there was twenty-five years ago. [ attribute this to the work of temperance societies and the change of social castcms. I do not think the Scott Act put a stop to drunkenness in town; it may have worked better in the country. The new regulation works very well, and I prefer it to the Seott Act. I would permit license to cer- tain persons. I did not notice that driak- ing affected business fur good or bad. To Judge McDonald—I don’t think there was any decrease in drunkenness under the Scott Act. Perhaps there was in the coun- try. I thought it wasa poor Act. Cvoun- try people could get liquor in town. | noticed no increase in drunkennese under the liquor regulation act. I would favor prohibition if it could be carried out. To Dr. McLeod—The Scott Act worked better in the country than it did in the city. It received support from ministers and the better class of people. S. C. Nash—I have been Collector of Inland Revenue since 1873. This state- ment shows the value of liquor imported for 11 years :— Bond. D'ty p'd To'ls.

The brewery here ran all the time the Scott Act was in force. (Mr. Nash gave the number of gallons manufac- tured each year). The quantity of ele made is not lessened by any increase of duty on material. If prohibition were in force a jot of stills would spring up, and there would be a great deal of drunkenness. [ believe there is 4 great deal of smuggling. During the Scott Act, quantities of liquor came here in single packages. When the Scott Act was law it was upenly, continu- ously and flagrantly violated, I think the trafic would be better regulated under license, The Scott Act does not prohibit the importation and manufacture. I think that all the beer and spirits imported to the Island went down the red lane. A great deal of beer is import2d here. It ex- ceeds the amount made here. People can purchace liquur out of bond in other pro- vinces without our having any official record of the transaction. : Dr. Blanchard—Am physician and super intendent of Insane Asylum. Have been superintendent for 18 years. There are 140 patients. A very small per centage of the cases are caused by drunkenness. Very difficult to trace whether any cases are in- directly caused by drunkenness. The general opinion regarding the Scott Act is that it is ineffective. No trouble during the Scott Act to obtain liquor. As a prac- titioner cannut say anything about the — of liquor sold under the Scott Act. sectors ordered always from the druggists. Noticed no decrease indrunkenness during the Scott Act. I think that since the Scctt Act was repealed drunkenness has increas- ed. During the Scott Act there was virtu- ally free rum and the increase now cannot be put Jowntofree rum. I would favor a rigid license law. From my experience and observation | think it would be very difficult to enforce a prohibitory law, es- pecially on this Island. I think alcohol ig an exciting cause in many cases of in- sanity. Drinking habits of parents pre- dispose their children to insan‘ty to a great extent. True prohibition would be an im- mense benefit to the people. _I think pro- hibition of importation and manufacture could be better enforced than the Scott Act. After aman has reached a certain age and is going down hill, | think a glass of wine is beneficial. Moderate drinking dues not hurt grown up men, co, it is not a good thing in certain cases, and in others it dees no harm. Merk Wright—I am a manufacturer and have lived in Ch’town 25 years; been a manu- facturer of furniture for twenty years, Em- ploy 40 or 50 men. My business has te a lim Fed extent been interfered with by dr nking of men. It has been better in this sespect for lasttwo years. Prefer the present state of affairs to previous years, but do net ep- prove of mode of restriction. Would prefer the present state of the law to a licens» sys- tem. When the peopie repealed Scot; Act they did not protest against probibition. 1 prefer total abstainers as workmen. Dr oking men are unreliable. I would prefer Ci'town at the present day to Ch’town und:r old license. Prohibition, if properly en‘orced, would be a great benefit to manufacturers and woikmen. Under Scott Act liquos wes sold every day, and in many places. I prefer free sale to license. It is wrong to license. It is wrong to sell without license. ‘Lhe restrictions of a license law were never enforced. Neither were the restrictions of sale under Scott Act. The vote repealing S. A. was a protest against a badly enforced law. Public sentiment had something to do with the non-enforcement of law. I thiak the present Council is a temperance Counc 1, and try to enforce present law. At times under Scott Act I have noticed less drunkerness— wher Act was rigidly enforced. Mr. Justice Hensley said that his experience extended over the time of li- cense, Scott Act and free sale. Tho first delay in the enforcement of the Scott Act was on account of a constitutional question which was not decided for about a year and a half. Some local points were raised which caused a delay of about a year. The Act was in operation for about nine years. During these years there had been an improvement in drunkenness. But there has been little, if any, change for the worse in Charlottetown since the Act was abrogated. Independently of the law, 4 great change has recently taken place in the social customs of the people. ‘There was a lack of public sympathy and assist- ance in respect to the Scott Act. Although a majority carried the Act, the majority did not seem to care very much about its enforcement. On the whole, the operation of the law throughout the Island has; been beneficial. Weil enforced proh bition would do geod; but its enforcement would be doubtful. Public sympathy is in favor of temperance, but not sufficiently in favor of the enforcement of prohibition laws. He thought that a “local option” license law for school districts was ths best restrictive law, because people were inter- ested, and a vote of two-thirds of the resi- dents was necessary. Law, as the result of public sentiment, successfully en‘orced strengthens public sentiment in favor of temperance. If the name of “license law ” was changed and it were called ‘* re- strictive law ” the meaning of license law would be better understood. A license law would be more easily enforced than « pro- hibitory law. It is scandalous wien a law is openly violated. A law so violated has not answered its end. A frightful amount of perjury was engendered by the Scott Act. All semptory lawsare d fficult of enforcement, because peeple rebel against having restrictions placed upon their eating and drinking. Prohibition should apply generally. Itis contrery to experience, that license vendors ass’st un- licensed vendors. The Scutt Act was not abrogated here from lack of temp >rance feeling. He would not favor prohbiticn for the whole Dominion, because he tl ought that public opinion would not enfo:ce it. The present restrictive law inthis «ity is well enforced, but he thought the open bars would prove to be an evil. Arthur Newbery.—No returns of licensed veudors were made under the Scott Act. Chere are now only two such vendor: —one wt Summerside, the other at County Line. The Scott Act did not work satisfac orily. A license law would be better. W. E. Dawson.—The Scott Act wis not enforced. If enforced, he was in favor of the Scott Act in preference to a license law ; if enforced, he was in favor of orohi- bition throughout Canada. He thought that prohibition could be enforced if sublic sentiment were behind it. When hair- man of the License Board in this city there was in force a local opticn law. The issue of licenses was dependent upon the ex- pressed wishes of a majority of the p»ople. lf a license law were to be enacted, he would favor a high license fre, a limited number of persons liccnsed, and also inspection of liquors. The license law was strictly enforced and drunkenness decreased. Fut after the Scott Act came into operation the convic- tions for drunkenness increased. The Scott Act would have been successful if the law hal been enforced. He would prefer the license law enforced to the Scoit Act not enforced. Public opinion sustained the license law; it did not sustain the Scot: Act. Public opinion is not educated up to the Scott Act or prohibition. Some licensees frequently violated the license law, but some would not do so. He had never heard that licensees employed unlicensed persons as sort of sub agents to sell for them. He thought that the license system as enforced favored the cause of temperance more than the Scott Act, which was not enforced. There were tery few unlicensed sellers under the license law. The Stipendiary Magistrate submitted a table of statistics e estimated that about 144 to 159 persons were selling Jiquor under the Scott Act But it was at times al- most impossible to get a glass of liquor. Dur. ing the last two years the law was well enforced, but the fines were altogether in- adequate. Some of the men who paid most fines—aggregating as much as $700—accamu- lated fortunes during Scott Act times. Judge McDonald expressed the thanks of the commission for the valuable information afforded by Mr. FitzGerald and their appre- ciation of the able manner in which he had performed his magisterial duties. Court took recess, —_—_—_—_—— Personal, The Rev. W, Eatough, of Trinity Church, St. John, N. B., is in town, and will assist at St Peter's Church to-morrow. We understand that the Rev.

Weather Bulletin. Toronto, Aug. 20.—10 a. m. As to tobac- Moderate to fresh winds, unsettled wea- ther, with local rains, SOU RIS. Its Trotting Park and Races. A Fine Day and Good Sport. ee The early morning of yesterday gave pro- mise of a fine day. As the special train from Charlottetown, Conductor Kelly, drew into Souris the sun shone out gloriously. There was also the 20ol, invigorating breeze, always (well, nearly always) present at Souris, and the wavelets broke in foam upon the t or rolled in foaming, curling surf upon the shore The excellence of Souris as a place of summer resort is, indeed, apparent at the first glance. After dinner at the Bay View Hotel, or in the homes of hospitable friends residing at Souris, those who arrived by traia proceeded with those who came in carriages to the Souris Trotting Park. The park is beautifully situated upon high ground in fall view*of the bay. Ifthe grand stand and the Judges stand were at the north instead of at the south side of it, the spectators on the grand stand could, while waiting for the races, enjoy the fine, broad, variegated landscape and the views upon the bay. The backjof the grand stand would at the same time protect them from the north wind, which ofcen prevails at the time of the autumn meetings. We suggest t> the enter- prising owners of the park the chsnge here indicated. Their track is one of the best in all Canada. It seema a pity that all its incidental advantages should not be fully utilized. The crowd pfpeert yesterday was, consider- ing the season, pemnetesls large. People of both sexes and ail ages from Souris and the country round-about flocked to see the races ; and it ia significant of the influence of the clergy and the rising moral tone of the com- munity that, though the Scott Act is law and intoxicants abundant, there were very few cases of excessive drinking. In fact the meeting,of yesterday was altogetherc:edi able. The races were called at one o'clock. The judges were John J Davies, Chariottet»wn, (starter), and Robert Pugsley, Amherst; John Macdonald aad Frank Keily,(timers); distance judge, J.J McAdam In the three minute class were Yellow Bird, owned and driven by Newton Lee; Jules Robin, owned by Mr. Bowness and driven by R Johnstone; Parnell, owned by P, P. Gillis and driven by Brown; and Sim, owned by William McKie and driven by Steele. Yellow Bird was drawn after the second heat. The other three horses contested the race gamely to the end. Par- nell and Sim trotted fairly and squarely,show- ing some fine bursts of speed and giving pro- ise of better work. But they were not speedy enough for the picer.

In the third heat the start, it is stated by the driver of Deerfield, that the latter was crowded off his ground by the driver of the city stallion, the latter having the advantuge at the start. At any rate Deer. field broke up and didnot settle to his work at any time during the heat. Consequently, he was distanced for running.
