Judge Snider has found that the
charges brought by Clarence Settell
against Sir' Adam Beck, and the Hy-
dro -Electric system ;generally are,
largely groundless, ' The most aston-

gation is that a man of the calibre o_
Settell should have held so re5porl0_-.
'ble a position. Ilis actions and l an,g-
uago in connection with his charges
'clearly show that he was a man, 111
whom no confidence could be placed,
and it is. remarkable that his was
