Fine Residence Burned flown Near Alberton

Early yesterday morning fire de- isitrcyed 11th; bfclugful cobble stone

ouse o . . yner pylon-wad situated Just oumlde Alberton. The fire was well underway before even the inmates discovered it.

The Albert/sin fire department was called about nine o'clock and the Chief. Mr. MocKendrick, and Mr. Lovltt, retired chief, with a number of men went out. They found it was impossible in save the house and it was with great d-fficulty that they kept the fire from the woodlands adjoining the farm.

Mr. Will Rayner occupied the dwelling. He and his family loot most of their furniture and cloth- ing. 'I'he house was built about 1012 by the late Percy Tan/ton and was one of the first cobble atone houses in the district. It was very beautiful in design both the interior and ex- terior and- was often remarked up- on by visitors.

Only the cobble stone walla are left of the structure. There was a small insurance-S

mm. one of eleven witnesses cell- ed before a Royal Commission 1n- vestlsltini; illegal fishing of lob- sters and smelts during 1936, at 510111011 yesterday stated he had been hauling poached lobsters n- crcss to New Brunswick points for the put ten years. landing them at various places between Bug. tcuche and Point du Chene. Other features of yesterday's lengthy sitting included the evi- dence of Bernard Reilly, WestCape lobster packer, who admitted pur- chasing 33'! cases of illegally can- ned lobsters ln 1906, of which 150 cases were shipped to J. A. Kelly, Shedlac. NIB. agent for Simpson

C003. fishery guardian from July 1'1 to October 31 last year, who told Commissioner Mr. Justice A. T. LeIBlBJlc that "I did not do my duty too good" and confessed that when he took the job he “didn't. plan to work top much".

The Commission will sit at Al- berton again today, moving to Summerside 1n the evening for the week-end, and will resume ses- sions in that town on Monday and probably continue Tuesday or longer.

Khaltl fillfllell, Portage 3h)"- keepe-r, was the first witness call- ed yesterday. He told of buying but a single case of illegallypack- ed lobsters last year, and that from David Mllligun.

Following to the stand was El- mer Bharbell. fish and lumber dealer of Portage, who acid that in 1906 he handled five cases of poached lobsters which he had pumhased at Porthill. two each from two men named Strongman, and the other from u. man named Bridges. Asked if the latter would be Walter Bridges, a. member of a. patrol boat crew last year, the wit.- neos said he thought there was only the one-family of Bridges in that area. and he felt he must be the man.

George McRce, TignislLadfnitt-ed having handled lobsters during the closed season at Tignlsh Run last year, and said he had weighed the lobsters for John Gavin. Witness raid he knew Ifrank Doucette of Rexton, N.B., but had not seenhim around the wharf or Run when he was weighing lobsters, although he stated it was possible Dcucette might have seen him.

The fourth witness 1n the mom- lng session was Victor Cook, Cape

“- Wolf, who told Commission coun-

sel Hon. H. F. G. Bridges that he had transported by boat poached lobsters frcrn the Island shore to point-s along the New Brunswick coast from Buctouche to Pt. du Ohene for ten years. In 1036 he took one loud of about 900 pounds to a Cocagnc buyer and disposed of them through a man named Despres. In 1065 the witness said he took three loads of lobsters to Pt. du Oheno and sold them to William Arsenault. an employee of R. J. Connolly Limited.

"How many lobsters did you take to Pt. du Chene in those three loads?"

"1 would say in the vicinity of 2,000 pounds.‘

Ho said he had been caught poaching last year by the tender from the “Ar1eux" and with Roy Hcrtt had been fined $50. each paying $25 plus the costs. The boat which the two were using was a. rented one, owned by Bert Reil- ly, which had been seized but was later returned to the owner. Cook stated he had bought gas- oline from Edward Mooney, oper- ator of Edmund Melansonb boat from St. Thomas. Kent County, N. 3., last spring, for 16% cents per gallon when local merchants were charging 2'! cents and as high as 30 cents per gallon, with a. 6 cents rebate.

Elmer Cook, also of Cape Wolf. stated he had fished illegally last year, cunning about ten cases himself and selling 400 pounds of live lobsters to Edward Mooney. Five of the ten cases were sold to Bernard Reilly and the other five to Florence Contain. M.‘ “eet. He foo admitted having bought gaso- line from Edmund Melansonkbcat during the spring season last year.

The first witness yesterday af- ternoon was Joseph ‘Iremblay, Ebbsfleet fisherman, who said he fished illegally last fall, had been ggught packing by Inspector QR. Palmer, and had paid a fine of850 but had continued to pack poach- ed lobsters, canning in all some eight or ten cases after paying the fine.

"Do ycui know any nshermen in the Mimlnlguh area who do not

After hesitating a moment the witness replied, “No. I do not".

Alvin Contain. Eidbsfleet. was the next witness. He stated he and his sister 1"‘ l‘ ‘ ‘ operated a general stare and last year han- dled a-round twenty-five cases of illegnlly packed lobsters. the mal- ority of the number being accept-

ed on accounts owed by fishermen. Ho admitted in: himself in 1024 and 1036 and when asked the reason remarked. “More for excite- ment than anything else".

He told cf c shell from the cruiser "Arras" employed by the Department of Fisheries in protec- tlvo work. striking l. barn and lionhoulo owned by 1m. Fannie Hopgood near his home in 1088. Ho stated that the "Arms" was appcren‘; obulng a poacher-

Number eight witness 0f the day was Bernard Reilly, west; 95w lobster packer, who told of pinch,- 85108 11'0"! Wily-seven different persons some 3M oases of illegally packed lobsters last fall. He said 150 cases had been Shipped to JLA, Kelly at Shedliw. N.B.. and the remainder tn J.J Hornby, DeBlols Bron. and Windsor Fisher Limit- ed. Charlottetown. and to Hol. man's. Limited. Summerside. He said the reason he had bought the illegal pack was because the ma- loflty of the fishermen owed him money.

Within a radius of how many miles were those lobsters packed?"

"I would say within a radius of seven miles."

Arnold Ellsworth. St. Edwards, testifled he had been employed on the patrol boat F.D.B. No. 1 for two months last year with Captain Arsene Gallant. He denied ever hearing Gallant say he would go back to poaching if he lost his job, but admitted that he had. fished illegally before securing the patrol boat post last year. Witness said he had been recommended for the post by the committee at his electoral poll and stated Jos- 00h Tlemblfiy. a. Previous witness, had been a member of that com- mtttee.

The next witness was Fulton C0011. Cape Wolf, who last year was employed by the Department as a guardian from July 17 to Oct. 31. He admitted having poached for twenty years prior to getting the appointment, and when asked if he did his duty according to the oath he took on assuming 017169. remarked. "I did not do my duty i100 good". and under further questioning stated. “When I took the Job I didn't: plan to do too much work". i

He said he accompanied Inspec- tor CR. Palmer on three raids but never hadmade any raids himself, remarking that 1t seemed a, gen- "'11 Drfliliiw for guardians never to raid a place alone. The witness said he had no excuse to ofler for never searching, but said two or three months‘ work was not suffi- cient for a. man to go out; and make enemies over.

The final witness of the day was Wilfred J. Shea, another guardian 411F108 1936. but his testimony was "M? “imllleted when adjournment was made until tomorrow mom- ing. He admitted having been in the 1110801 ldbster business himself W" i» teklnx the lob and said that in 1935 he sold in J. A. Kelly, Shediac. NB., 384 cases of lobster; of which 204 were illegally packed, He too admitted having changed the Me of per-nuts given him by Inspector CR. Palmer and said he had had them returned to him by lvfr. Kelly, but when he was a. Ellflrdlfln 185i F6111‘ he had never informed Inspector Palmer that. pemilts were being used twice or more times, or that they we" be- ing changed.

Fire Destroys Tyne Valley Farm House

A farm house. barn and two out-buildings owned by Edmund P8111811, Tyne Valley were destroyed by fire yesterday. Damage was believed t0 be 1n the vicinity of $2.000. No insurance was carried. The blaze started from a chim- ney on the house. 5o rapidly did the flames spread and so intense was the heat neighbors who had gathered to fight the fire were unable to obtain water from a pump between the house and the barn which was soon ignited. The flam- es then spread to two small out- buildings.

Livestock in the barn were re- moved to safety, but only a small amount of furniture on the ground floor of the house was saved. The owner was fishing at the
