CHARGED With FRAUD.
London Courts May Send Back Cana
dian SurgeOn-Mixed Up In
Manitoba Scandal.

London, February 3.-Dr. Robert
Mills Simpson, one of the most noted
of Canadian surgeons, who has been
serving in the war hospitals in France,
must appear in the Bow Street Court
today for a continued hearing on the
charge that he is a fugitive offender
and is wanted in Winnipeg to answer
charges brought against him for al
legged completely i'm the Parliament
buildings fraud DR.. Simpson is fight
ink the attempt to have him sent back
to Winnipeg. He has denied the
charges, which he says are not JUS
titled and are an imputation on his
character.
DR.. Simpson was accused in con-
nection with the expose in the Par
lament buildings case, which brought
the downfall of the Robin admins
tration in Manitoba. This is the same
case in which Thomas ]. Kelly, a mil
lionaire contractor, is fighting extradi-
ton from the United States to answer
to similar charges. DR.. Simpson was
president of the Manitoba Conserva-
tive Association, and was alleged to
have told the provisional architect that
the provincial government would have
to get its campaign fund from the par
lament buildings contract. It is
charged in Manitoba that Simpson
named the amounts to be allowed on
contracts, a margin being always al
lowed for the campaign fund.
The surgeon left Canada for France
the week before the Robin govern
ment resigned and the building fraud
was exposed. He was assigned to one
OF the base hospitals and has been do
ing remarkable work. He was adj
vanced to the rank of Lieutenant Col
onel and was in uniform when he was
arrested in December at Folkestone.
DIR. Simpson is 81 years old and a
native of Carleton, Ont lie was edu-
Gated at Manitoba University and at
London and Edinburgh. He holds the
surgical chair at Manitoba Medical
College and has been chairman of the
Provincial Board of Health and few
years ago was president of the Amer
lean Public Health Association.
When DR.. Simpson was arraigned on
January IL the dispositions from Win
nipeg had not arrived and the case was
postponed until today. He has been
out on bail of $4,000 and has been
obliged to present himself in court
each week
