LEGISLATOR FOR SIXTY THREE YEARS

Ottowa, Ontario. March is-one Of
the most interesting figures in Cana
dian political life is Hon. David wark,
q member Of the senate Of Canada. AL
though he passed his Tooth birthday
on the 18Th OF February last, he is,
nevertheless, keen and clear Of intellect
and surprisingly strong in body. He
is the Oldest active legislator in the
world today.
Canadian senators, as q rule, are
men who have passed the allotted
span Of life, but there are only two
others living today Of the SO senators,
who were, with Hon. David wark, ap-
pointed members of the senate at the
time OF confederation, over 85 years
ago. The oldest of these two senators
referred TO is Senator Dickey of Nova
Scotia, who is 90 years Of age, but
who will never attend another session
of parliament, being incapacitated by
weight of years. But Senator wark is
today as vigorous of mind and body as
he was ten years ago.
There are few, IL any, who can rival
him in length of continuous service.

federation days. AMI then for the fed

As an instance Of the centenarian' S
zeal and fitness for his legislative du.
ties, it may be stated that, during the
session of 1901, he rose in the senate,
standing clear from any support, and
in trenchant language bitterly rallied
the house upon its inanition. He de-
sired for himself to do active work In
the service Of the state. They should
not sit as haired automatons,
yawning through the session and
simply drawing their allowance.
Senator wark is of Scotch descent,
and was born near Londonderry, Ire

cd from Ireland in 1898 to Canada. In
1910 he was elected to the New Bruins

ment. At the time of the establish

testimony of Laborers
Is Being Taken
Here.
This Is a Long Story That
y Has Two Sides
to II.

On an order received from the Com
missioner OF immigration at Washing
ton, there was begun yesterday before
Immigration Inspector j. K. Brown the
taking of the testimony of those Porto
Rican plantation iaborers who have
made complaint of theif treatment
since coming to tn, Islands, and of the
alleged Misrepresentation of conditions
leading them to come here.
: 1t seems that the Porto Rican labor
ers, whose services. by the way, haye
not been altogether as satisfactory as
they might have been, by reason Of a
supposed common disinclination to
work, have united. a number of them.
in a series of complaints to the govern
ment at Washington. They charge that
they were induced by the planters
agents, in Cuba and in Ponce. to-come
TO the Hawaiian Islands under several
representation as to conditions
here. In the first place, they were told
that the work was not hard. Secondly,
they were given to understand that
they would be paid more than they
have been paid. Other alleged misrep-
were to the effect that
they would be better housed, better fed,
and generally better treated than they
say that they have been

have been most cruelty treated by the
lunas on the plantations, driven to
work at unseemly hours and compelled
to work without sufficient food. More
than that. the testimony of one man
taken yesterday was to the effect that
himself and his wife and little children
ware forced to work under the lash by
the luna of the plantation upon which |
he was employed.
The testimony of all the complain |
ants will be taken here, and will then |
be forwarded to the office of the Com |
missioner of immigration at Washing

to take the planters side OF the story. |
A great many labor experiments have

these Islands, but probably not one of
them has been so altogether unsatis-

seems that the riff-raff of that island

With the result that not only did the
