YEAR 76-N MR. CASSELS' PORT Touching the Marine Department Investigation. eth ei ot Exonerates Present and Past Ministers and Mr. Sitton---Severely Criticized the Deputy Minister and Several Others. From Our Own Correspondent. Ottawa, Jan. 23.--The report of Judge Cassels upon the marine inves- tigation was laid upon the table of the commons Friday afternoon. While making no suggestions as to punish- ment he concludes his report with several strong observations, one of which is that the public conscience has not been awakened. Dealing with the patronage list at the outset Judge Cassels quotes from the celebrated passage in Col. Gour- deau's evidence admitting that the system had caused a loss to the country of $200,000 in three years, On Nov. 24th, 1908, Hon. Mr. Dro- deur abolished the patronage system. The judge's comments are as fol lows : "To my mind the adoption continuance of the system is lutely wrong. "It apparently is based on the maxim 'to the victors belong the spoils,' utterly ignoring the fact that the nioney to be dispersed is money and abso- clined and willing to help others, but as a rulé his commission was as have stated." "It may also be assumed that those paying this commission did not pay it out: of their pockets, but so arranged that the prices paid to them amply recouped them for such outlay, and the toll was paid by the country. "The conduct of some of these offi- ciale who have been guilty deserves nothing but condemnation. They were placed in positions of trust. They were entrusted with dutics requiring them to protect the interest of the de- partment as against the contractors and others from whom they received gratuities. Then follows list of those who accepted bribes. "Destruction of papers, difficulty of procurinz of books, cheques, ete., faced us at St. John as elsewhere," says Judge Cassels. "Cheques payable to bearer made it difficult to trace. Transactions covered by such tramsact- jons were algo in evidence." It is ' re a contributed by the people generally and not the money of politital fol-| lowers 8f the party at the time being in power? "The revenues of the dominion entrusted to those in power to expended as any' other trust monies should be expended, namely, for the best advantage of all. "No one ean reasonably complain if, in an open market and with fair competition friends who furnish | goods of equal quality with goods furnished by political opponents and | at equally low prices are preferred, | but everyone should have the "same opportunity of tendering, no matter | what political party he supports." After noting that the amount of money spent in the acquisition and | placing of the Willson gas buoys has | been enormous the judge dechnes to pronounce on the policy of adopting them. He admits that the diaphone fog signal seems to be of great value to navigation. The quoted rate for each was $4,600; the actual cost was $220, and he speaks of "the immense | profits waae by the company without any capital." > The next section of the report deals | with the management of the outside agenpies at Quebec, St. John, Hali- fax, Montreal and Sorel, and the con duet, of numerous officials of the government. In dealing with the Quebec agency first place is given | to the conduct of J. H. Gregory. His salary was $2,200, yet the expendi ture of his agency was nearly $1,000, 000 a year. Sometimes he had 1 vanced money of his own to wages, ete. The report says : "Denuded of verbiage the fact is he has been exacting a toll of five pe cent. on the amotint due by the partment to the contractor others who had the privilege of deal ing with the department.

Judge Cassels notes the employment of eighty 'additional mon in the dockyards during the election at the roquest of Messre, Roche and Carney, and accepis Mr. Tremayne's view that it was for clegtioneering purposes, and says, "I fail to see how such a trans- action can be justified ~------ The statement is referred to that on Mr. Parsons objecting to extravagance in the furnishing of luxuries to gow- ernment vessels, Col. Gourdeau told him to "lot it rip." After noticing that there is a discrepancy in evidence Judge Cassels says, "Tho fact, how- ever, remain® that such an interview at somo time or another did take place." Fifty pages of report. are devoted to a review of = the Ottawa officials who came chiefly into prominence. The first of these is Col. Gourdeau, who retired in April, 1908. Judge Cassels says : "I think it unfortunate that the deputy minister, after the issue of the commission, should have had access to the files of the department. It ap- pears that papers have been destray- ed: Tt may be the papers burned would throw no light on the matters investigated, nevertheless, 1° would | have preferred a perusal of the papers | destroyed rather than a perusal of the | basketsful of papers of a semi-private | character not destroyed." {| Next, says the judge, "I cannot understand how the manner in which | the affairs of the marine department { wore being conducted in Quebec, St. John and Halifax, could have been | unknown to the deputy." Judge Cassels recalls the letter sent | by Gourdéau to Gregory at Quebec, in | 1905, in which he told him to pay no attention to the fetters demanding economy, as they were 'simply to save the department in the eyes of the finance minister." With reference to the charge made by Van Filson, manager of the Quebec branch of the People's bank of Can- ada, that Assistant Accountant Bon- dreau, of the department, had demand- od $3,000 rake off for payment of Hol liday brothers' account, Justice Cas- sels says: "I have come to the con- clusion that on the evidence as pre- sented before me, the case against Mr. Bondreau. is not proven." Judge Cassels Tontludes with these strong observations : "During the investigation, the name of the late Hon. James Sutherland and that' of the Hon. C. Sifton have been referred to, 1 think it only fair to the memory of Mr. Sutherland, and also to Mr. Sifton, to state that no evidence: has been adduced before me casting reflections on the character of either of these gentlemen. "The name of the late minister, ihe Hon! R. Prefontaine, has also been re- | ferred to. 1 am not here to judge | Mr. Prefontaine or his policy, or the | manner in which his department was | administered There are but two | places where IT would consider any re- | flections are cast upon him. The one | { have referred to in dealing with J. F. "Patronage in patronage hist. Tu nomination of the others who comprised list. It extended is | Fraser: the other statement is a state- | ment made by Mr, Gregory in his de- | fence given at Quebec. He stated in | reference to Davie, who gave for a period of about eleven years to Mr. Gregory the sum of 8500 per annum, that he was very friendly with Davie { but did not think that a reasen for him to ask for anything, and when his minister said," 'Try and get some money out of those who can afford to | pay it." he replied that the only hon- | orable man he could trust himself with | was Davie, and if he would lend him | the 'money he would take it. The { judge proceeds : It has to be borne in mind that for vears preceding this alleged interview and for long! prior to Mr. Prefontaine, Gregory 'had been receiving yearly sums fvbm Davie, 1 think it would be very unjust to the memory of the deceased statesman to accept such evidence as that of Gre- gory or J. F. Fraser as casting any #lur upon him, and I feel it my duty to state that I do not so accept it. _ "Nearly all the officials of the de- partment have been examined before mé. I do not mame them individually, but I may staté that any not named are free from any imputation of wrong- doing. Not that I desire to convey that those named are guilty of wrong- doing. I have reported on each "and given my conclusions. "Before comeluding, I may be par- doned if I make a few observations. I am aware that what I am going to say is not within the scope of my duty as defined. I am also aware that I have not the practical knowledge to guide me as to the feasibility of put- ting into practice my views. No harm, however, can come from my observa- tions, "In the first place the chief remedy for amelioration of the conditions I have sought to portray, lies in the awakening of the public conscience. If the public generally could be brought to view with abhorrence graft and abuse of trust on the part of those administering the public moneys and property, the end of such abuses as have, occurred in the past would be in sight. "Secondly, ficials ated. "Mr. Gregory, in the control of nearly one million dollars per annum, received a salary of $2,000 per annum, Mr. Harding, in the control of about $300,000 per annum, a salary of $1,800 per annum; Mr. Parsons, in the control of about $700,000 per annum, a salary of $1,600 per annum. "It is an easy matter for those in affluent circumstances to hold up their hands in horror; they have not been in a position to be tempted. "Thirdly, the abolition of the patronage system in the department of marine and fisheries is a long step in the right direction. "Tt is, however, important that while the purchasing of supplies, etc, should be controlled by an able man like Mr. Doutre, a thorough and sys- tematic inspection of the agencies should periodically be made, in order that the necessity of the requirements demanded should be enquired into, and also with a view $0 ascertaining if the supplies reach their proper destin- ation. capable and efficient of- "According to the evidence, a sav- ing of about $100,000 per annum would be effected in the marine and fisheries department alone by the should be adequately remuner-| 1 political KINGSTON, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1009. CLEMENCEAU'S VICTORY. Premier Will Enact Income Tax PREMIER CLEMENCEAU. Paris, Jan. 23.--Theve is great joy among the supporters of Premier Cle- menceau over the success of the gov. ernment in the recent senatorial elec: 'ions. Fifteen progressist scats havo been captured, which is an. as tonishing setback to a party that does not number more than a hun- drod deputies. It is the day of radi- cal-socialism, the day of the govern- ment, otherwise, the day of Clemen- ceau. labels do not mean much in France, where a "false de scription" is the commonest oeccur- rence. Tho progressists, for instance, are so called Because they resent pro- gress at any rate of the Clemenceau kind. M. Clemenceau has now a formidable majority in both chambers. Such power has its inconveniences. It involves the carrying ont of one's programme up- on which the elections were fought, whether one wants to or not. It is said that M. Clemenceau is, at heart, opposed to the income tax, on the ground that it is unsuited to the French {emperament, a view which is shared) by the most enlightened people in France. But universal suffrage is a hard task master, reaping where it has not. sown. It insiste on income tax for the reason that money must be found somewhere for social reforms and the bank account of the rich is just the placo to find it. Sccondly, it is the simplest machine ever invented for putting the screw on. As staunch republican remarked, M. Cle- monceau is faced with the alternative of a social revolution or the income tax. He has preferred the later. Had he dared to stand against the tide he would have been swopt away, and change.

This time-stained slip which con- tained a sort of genealogical table of the Busby family, was found among the dead man's effects by G. T. Os: born, a close friend of the deceased. At the top of the list was the name, Thomas Busby, the father. Among those underneath were Walter T. Bus- by and Charles 'E. Busby, and also George MH. Busby. Something about the slip of paper riveted Mr. Osborn's curiosity. He decided that instead of being interred, the body of Charles A. Howard should be placed in a vault, In the meantime Mr. Osborn kept LIVED A DUAL LIFE Reveals a Secret---Father Didn't Like Son's Occupation. his discovery a secret ana promptly addressed a letter to Walter T.

A thorough correspondence ensued. Mr. Osborn forwarded a photograph of Charles Howard to the brothers in Port Huron." They in turn sent a photograph of = George H. Busby to Mr. Osborn.

Hun- dreds and hundreds of citizens are hot on hiv trail and from early morn ing yesterday until late at night, the down-town streets were fairly ihrong- ol with amateur man-hunters. Many, many amusing incidents arc constant ly occurring through parties tackling the wrong men. Mr. Raffles' man- agers, L. Hayden O'Connor and George Felix Green, arc mistaken for their man continually. Dozens of persons are being tackled somowhat to their own discomfiture, but much to the amusement of the masses. However, every person takes the mis take in good part, laughing as heart- ily at the joke on themselves as the onlookers, Commercial travellers do- ing business in the city seem to be the especial ones "marked for the slatighter,"" presumably owing to the fact of their being strangers. Some particularly funny incidents pened, yesterday, one in particular deserving of special comment. About four o'clock in the afternoon a well-known traveller from Toronto, going up Prin- ccss street, on his way to the Ran- dolph, was tackled by a young fellow and given the salutation. He was quite emphatic in his declaration that he had 'Raffles, despite the traveller's positive denial of the .fact and urged on. 'by the quickly-gathering throng, who were equally positive that they had Raffles in their clutches, The young fellow declared he would have to accompany him to the Whig office. Despite his somewhat strenuous pro- testations, he was literally shoved, to the Whig office by the crowd, which had by this time grown to fully 500 men and boys. However, they were quickly informed of their mistake at the Whig 'and the traycHer on his way laughing as good natured- lv as the rest of the crowd. This is but one. of several similar incidents that occurred, especially ¢during the evening. Everyone seems to be "man-hunting mad' and thé pleasing feature about it all is thel the ladies ore evincing almost as ch interest as the men. In the wofde of a pro- "Mr. Raffles' " manager, "the old town is surely roused #s it never was before." Good, healthy open-air fun cannot help but appeal to red-blood- ed people.
