paper reports were concerned he had not had time to read them and he did not know whether the Patriot or Guar- dian had reported him correctly or not. He had stated that overpayment had been made to the Arsenauits and that some conversation had taken place in connection with it between one of the Arsenaults and tho Commissioner of Public Works. but he had not charged the hon. member with corrupt practise. He had expressly repudiated in that House a charge of corrupt practise, and had said there was evidence of incompetence or carelessness on the part of the Provincial Auditor. It resolved itself into that and nothing more.

every faith in Mr. McNeill. When he got the appointment he thought he was the right man in the right place and he still thought so. lie did not think anyone would believe there was any truth in such an imputation. and the two members referred to distinctly stated that they made no such imputa- tion. lf there was any blame to be attached to anyone he did not think it could be attached to the Commission- er or his Secretary. but the Auditor of the Public Accounts. - He was the man who was distributing the cheques, so far as he understood, and if anyone was to blame in the matter he did not thi-nk it was the Commissioner of Pub- lic Works.

Mr. SAUNDERS said that pglbly

there was no man in the House who was better acquainted with the Com- missioner of Public Works than him- self. From his infancyup he had`liv- ed within a stone's throw of that gentleman, and he knew him to be an honest and honourable man. In fact. he did not think there was any man more popular in Summerside them the Commissioner: and when they spoke about the matter of dishonesty. as far as he was concerned. he said “No; never!" l-le thought that covered the ground so far as the character of the Commissioner of Public Works was concerned; but he did not think the Commissioner had acted discreetly, be- cause he carried a Government cheque at election time, when it would have been better to have had the cheque sent out from the Department. He was satisfied that every member sit- ting on thc other side a-nd the Com- missioner, himself on reflectiomwould say that he had acted indiscreetly. The Leader of the Opposition said there was some carelessness. and he (Mr Saunders) thought that was equally clear. There had been some carelessness somewhere, but to whom it was to be attributed he was not there to say. Thefact was, there was an overpayment and it was not dis- covered for several months. Every man would say there had been gross carelessness somewhere. and that was all that the Opposition were saying. As to the Commission tr ofPublicWorks having acted dishonestly or corruptly, hc did not think any man would say so. What was the object of the investiga- tion? What were they going to inves- tigate! hc asked. “Are they going to investigate what we ourselves say there is nothing in?" said Mr. Saun- ders. What was the sense oi' an in- vestigation? There had been no cor- rupt motive on tho part of tho Com- missioner. bni. thorn was gross caro- lcsnncss somewhere.

At one o'clock the House adjourned,

and on- resuming in tho afternoon.

Mr. J. A. DEWAR said that as thc

Leader oi the Opposition had stated that ho had not imputed and did not intend to impute any corrupt moilvos to the Commissioner of Public Works. and as it seemed to be the unanimous oppinion of the House that there was absolutely no ground for such a sug- KBHUOII. Perhaps it would be as well to withdraw the resolution. as it would only be a waste of time inves- tigating a charge which hal already been withdrawn or denied by thc two members mentioned.

The Speaker said he would take the

sense of the House on the suggestion and would put the matter thus: "ls it the opinion of this House that the resolution be withdrawn on the un- derstanding that no corrupt act or im- proper motives are charged against the hon. the Commissioner of Public Works? l will take the opinion of the House by a standing vote." _ ' immediately every ‘member oh both sides' ef the House rose to his feet.

Fredericton. N. B...

April 26th, 1916.

D. Schurman, Charlottetownt- We congratulate you on your years

work and wish you continued sucsss in your fight for a-better enforcement of the prohibltory law. `.We trust your annual gathering may be one ol' the most successful ever held by your Alliance. Satisfactory progress iv being made with our probibltory law. The most importsntand drastic clau- ses have already passed the I-louse.

THOMAS MARSHALL-

W. D. WILSON.

With the reading of the foregoing

telegram the proceedings: of the an~ nual session of the Provincial Tem- perance Alliance got under way at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr. A. W; Sterns. acting as President. About one hundred members were present.

lt was moved by Rev. S. H. Rice.

seconded by Rev. Mr. Morris and car- ried unanimously that a reply be _lor- warded expressing thanks for this message and sympathy with the tem- perauce movement in New Bruns- wick. _

On motion the minutes of last ysar's

session as printed were adopted.

The report of the Executive Coin

mittto was then read by Mr. D. Schur- man and the reading of this report and the discussion as to whether i_t should be adopted occupied the ba lance of the afternoon lneetiug.

The report opened with the state

ment that the past year had been tbo "most successful of our thirty~seven years work," and pointed out that at its last meeting the Alliance pledged itself "to support no caudidate at any of the Dominion or Provincialelection who could not be relied upon to votu for the abolition of the liquor-traffic. and to work for the nomination and election of candidates, irrespective of party, who could be depended to cast their votes for the enactment of Do- minion and Provincial Prohibitlon“and government enforcement of the same."

The report also stated that "during

the election a great many public meet- ings were held thljoughout the Prov- ince at which the problems of the tem perance question only were 'discuasedf'

Reference was made to the fact that

in the United States, England .Francs- and Russia measures have been taken to prohibit and restrict the use of in- toxioants which have been the admira- tion and wonder of the world.

The balance of the r6P0rt was- n

strongly worded condemnation of thu local Government. A

It was shown that during the past

three years the Alliance had incurred expences to the amount of _$7,27d., _

At the conclusion of the reading of

this report which was a vary lengthy one a discussion ensued which lasted until almost five o’clock as to whether it would be wisdom to pass this rc~ port and as to the advisability of ap- proaching the Government for farther amendments. »

Those taking part were Rev. H. J.

Fraser, Messrs G. M. Gough. llobi. Jenkins, Mr. Crossman, Mr. McEsch~ ern, Geo. Brown, James Gillespie. James Hopgood, L. P. Tantoll. Win. McLeod, J. A. Brace, W. D. Costain, Wm. Calbeck. Rev. G. M. Young,»Mr. i.ePage, Rev. Wm. Johnson. W. M. Lea, and Mr. Schuman. _

A number expressed thevopinionthu

it would be folly to continue the s‘ntu» gonistic attitude toward the Govern- ment and expect to receive any con sideration and -held that the first year of the present Governments reglmv a very satisfactory enforcement of the law had been enacted, until the Al liancc got into loggerheads w.ith.i2h" Government. These speakers main tained that if the Government were all proachcd in a right spirit and amilnosi ty dropped they would get practicalli every thing they asked for.

Other speaker; maintained that the -

proper thing to do was to maintain the fighting attitude and that it woni-I

show weakness to drop the policy.

which had marked the workings of till: Alliance all along.

Finally after some remarks by Mr.

Schurman the report was adopted.

A nominating committee was, ai*

pointed as follows: u Rev. Mr. Rica Rev. Mr. Morris. George Brown.
