Milverton received me in his office IN
the judiciary building and started TO
question me- Almost Immediately he
summoned a stenographer, who was IN
structed to take careful notes OF what

aady.
In order to make no mistake | took

LOSS OF PAPERS
TO THE CLERKS
Ayres and Matheson, Whose Budget of Testi-
mony Has Vanished, Tell What Happened---
Diverting Excuses and Explanations.

Further light is thrown on the char
3 acter of the papers which have van
ashed from the County Attorneys Of
fee by the following statements of the
witnesses whom Deputy Milverton in
1erviewed at the time:
After testifying before the Grand
Jury in the Lee Let alleged bribery in
yestigation, / was called to the office of
the Attorney-General to talk over my
testimony with Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Prosser. Ny statements were taken
down in writing and transcribed on
blanks for filing. These blanks were
filed with the papers of the office, as
some months later ] went over them
again Later, when Mr.. Milverton took
hold of the case as Deputy Attorney
General, these notes were still on file,
and for the third time j went over them,
this time with Mr.. Milverton.
During the months the matter was
supposed to be in preparation for trial
bv the County Attorneys department
/ was not consulted by him or his
deputy as to what testimony | was pre-
pared to give, although, on the surface,
the case was at least twice within
week of trial. So far as | know the
County Attorney consulted no one OF
the witnesses tor the prosecution.
On Tuesday of this week | made a
statement to Deputy Attorney-Generai
Iarnach, who, in discussing the status
of the case, stated that nowhere on lle
could be found anv of the previous
statements / had made, although the
dispositions of Chief of Detectives Tay-
lor were intact ] asked where the filed
statements had gone, and was told that
they had disappeared completely from
the files, although dealing with pend
ing case.
s.That is the way this case has been
handled, " said Nj. Larnach.

Then he came out With his big
spread about starting an experimental
small farming place on Waimea with
the boys. We don't want any such a
place. The experimenting for small
farming has all been done. We have
tested what we can do and we have
won out on that. We don't want any
more grandstand playing, either. What
we want is something done with the

A HOMELESS SAINT

The adventures of a homeless saint
are described in the Arbeiter Zeitung
of Vienna. A religious woman in
Steiermark vowed that If her sick
child regained health and strength she
would present a statue of the child 5
patron saint-Johann of Nepomuk-
to the monastery. The child recovered
and true TO her VOW the statue was
made and carried with much ceremony
to the good brothers. who declined.
however. to receive it. Then it was
offered to the parish priest and TO
three other parishes, but all in vain:
no one would take the saint. The wo-
man finally learned that her failure to
find fitting resting place for the cost
ly evidence of her gratitude and devo-
ton was due to national pride. The
people of Steiermark are opposed to
the Czechs and Nepomuk was a Be-
hemian. The writer says: The Steier-
mark are opposed to the Czechs and
Nepomuk was Bohemian. The writer
says: The Steiermark worshipers
would never have known the differ
ence. but the church authorities would
make no concessions to the Czechs,
and the poor saint had to be sent out
of the country to find a suitable rest

THE NAVAL COAL
SHED. IS UNSAFE
Work Suspended While New
Support Is Given the
Roof.

The work of removing the coal from
the Naval Coal Shed No. 8, has been
suspended until the building can be
made safe. The fire and the weight
of the coal and the change in the dis
tribution of the weight due to the re-
moval of a part of the coal, has had.
the effect of weakening the supports
of the roof and superstructure so that
it was considered unsafe for men and
animals TO go into the building. 1t was
feared that the roof might fall down
on them.
There has been much giving way of
the foundation piers, and this is shown
in the sagging of the roof in many
places. Many of the interior supports
have been thrown out of plumb. AS
long as they were surrounded by the
coal that was piled up about them they
could not topple over and hence the
roof could not collapse. But the re-
moval of the coal about some of these
has left them without lateral support,
and in the opinion of the naval officials
in charge it was not safe to allow fur
Their work inside, the shed until other
supports had been added.
This work is now in progress and
when completed the work of removing
the coal viii proceed.

GORDON OSBORNE To
MAKE NJ NNLEY STATUE

The Mckinley statue will be made
by Gordon osborne, the talented local
sculptor and pupil of St. Gaudens
This was decided at a meeting of the
Mckinley Memorial Committee held
on Friday. The statue will be placed
in front of the new High School build
ing. Another design was submitted
by a mainland sculptor named Multi
gan.
The design is a very striking one
and shows the mautyred President in
the posture of delivering a speech, with
one hand grasping "a scroll and the
other gestieulating. The statue, which
will be of bronze, will be eight feet
high and will be mounted on a pedes-
tai of imported granite.
Gordon osborne is the son of Rev.
John osborne of this city. He studied
his art abroad and is credited with
Having done some of the best work
ever seen in Canada. where he lived
for most of his life. His bust of
Father Clement. recently exhibited
here, is a typical specimen of his
work.
