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

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

said the information came ' directly from the German embassy but he was not in a position to-make public the name of his informant.

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.

IT WAS CAM
Against Shell
(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

Well, Mr. Carvell did meet lllm and
Rogers informed lne next day that llc told him the things he had told lnc. 'I`llell Regt-rs came to my hotel lllld, in tho hearing of il friend oi' mine, one of thc leading Methodist ministers of Ontario, called Mr. Carvell up and had lne talk with him so that I might know Ile was not 'playing a blutl'.` TO THIS METHODIST MINISTER AND TO ME, ROGERS SAID CAR- `»vELL AGREED T0 PAY HIM TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS _A WEEK AND EXPENSES AND SEND HIM T0 NEW YORK TO GET THE CORRES- PONDENGE.

As Mr. Carvell did not know me, I bros.ched the matter of Rogers, stat- ing that I had turned him over to tell what Ile knew alld asking what use could be made of his story andWAS TOLD THAT HE WAS TOO DAN- GEROUS A WITNESS TO PUT ON- TO THE STAND, BUT THAT HE HAD BEEN OF OONSIDERABLE SERVICE.
“This was a week ago Friday, when
Mr. Carvell, Mr. Goddard, Mr. Jacobs, and Mr. Merkey went to New York, where on Saturday, Mr. Rogers was met at the hotel.ROGERS THAT AF- TERNOON HAD BEEN DETECTED TAKING PAPERS FROM Ti-IE OF- FICE OF THE VERY MAN WHOSE LETTER OF INTRODUCTION HE HAD BROUGHT T0 ME, AND SINCE THEN ROGERS HAS EFFECTUALLY DISAPPEARED. ,
“When I got back to Ottawa, I nt-
tempted to speak of Rogers to Mr_ Carvell, but he turned off saying 'But- cller'- you see, Ile didn't quite get my name-‘You made a -*- fool oi' me once. You can’t do it again. Don't ever try to say another word to me and I‘ve been wondering ever since what sprung Carvell so?"

“France does not want Germany to
tender peace," said the President, "but wants her adversary to ask for peace."
The President then made known
clearly the only kind of peace which would be acceptable to France. The address was delivered at the Molitor garrison before a large number of Lorraine refugees, to whom the Presi- dent, after expressing his sympathy and renewing promises of solicitude and protection, said:
“France will not expose her sons to
dangers of new aggressions. Tile Central Empires,`haunted by remorse for having brought on the war, and terrified by the indignatioll and hatred they have stirred up in mankind, are trying today to make the world believe that the Allies alone are responsible for thc prolongation of llostilities-`a dull irony which will deceive no one.
