Has the Toronto World's Debt Been Paid? Doctor Says He Trusted te Manager Travers. Toronto despateh; Dr. Beattie Nes- bitt, on the request of General Man- ae,er Travers, made application to Ilan, A. J. 1VIatheson, Provincial lreasurer of Ontario, for Provincial deposits in the Farmers Bank. He was partially Successful, securing a small initial deposit. Dr. Nesbitt was on the ietand and was examined at length by Mr. Frank E. Hodgins, K.C.1., the Crown 'Counsel, as to his connection with the bank and the Reeley mine. "Did you ever interest yourself in aecuring Provincial deposits for the bank?" asked Mr. Hodgins. "I saw Colonel Matheson once dur- ing the year in which I -was Pres - dent of the bank," replited Dr. Nee- bitt. "What occurred?" "I told him we would like him to make a deposit with the bank, I pointed out that the Government de- positecl with other banks which only had branclaas in our Province while the Farmers Bank had its head °Mi. ces in the Provincial capital, 1 ex, plaaned to hin that this was a far- mers' bank, and that many farmers throughout Ontario -were stockhold- ers. He replied that he could not promise 'anything just then until he had seen more of the bank's .returns. The bank, he claimed, was rather yeung, but he told me if later re- turns (thawed its condition to be sat- isfactory he rnight do something for us. That was all that occurred." "What was the result?" "The rezult was that be made a small deposit some time after," "How much?" "It was small. I had no reason to charge my memory with it. It was about June, 1907." "There was another deposit on MaY 13, 1908, of $15,000, and 011 May 19 of $10,000. Had you anythng to do eliith getting those?" "Not a thing," replied Dr. Nesbitt. "I told. you it was the only time I ever saw him." Mr. Hodgins asked for The Globe editorial, which had been filed with the • Commission, and, reading from it, asked: "It is stated that you got money for the Keeley mine specu- laton on a promase to engineer the deposit of a like amount from th,e Government of Ontario. What of that?" "It is not correct," declared Nes- bitt, "What did yoe say to Col. Mathe- son other than what you have told us r "Nothing. I only saw him the once." "Did Travers, seeing how success- ful you had been, never suggest that you try again?" "No. He said I was very unsuc- eessful J didn't have any pull at all." "Then you did discuss it after- ward?" "Ile did speak again, but I told laina I couldn't do anything. Travers spoke to many people and I may have spoken to some friends." "But you spoke to year brother-in- law about depositing in. 1909? You were anxious for deposite then?" "Travers elwaye maintained that the bank Wile in. firstalese ehape," pensieted. Neehitt. "Bat as you knew neither, you. nor Vdiehart had put up anything on the Keeley 'mine purchase, you must have realized that the bank west carrying it al12" "I didn't eon:skier it affected the bank a particle, for the property was valu- able." "Did you not think depoeits were imPortant for a bank putting (such an amount in the mine?" "I never eaw a bank manager who di a not want deposits, 1 have been often approached by managers of caller banks, astking for' Government deposite, wanting me to try to use my political influence." in a brief statement at the close ef the Sitting Liquidator Clarkson aelsed the commiseioner to permit him to inake IL correction. He had given evidenee to the effect that the newspaper account of the Toronto World bad been paid, and Mr. W. F. Maclean had also te-stit fled to the sante effect. The evidence was given in good faith, end he under - aced at the time that the money was available, but come difficulty or dis- agreement had occurred with the 6olic- itor. "Mr. Maclean is now arranging to meet the payment," coneluded Mr. Clarkson. When the inquiry resumed in the afternoon Mr. W, S. Calvert took the stand, and stated he appeared as the reeult of a paragraph in the Toronto World ,of May 16, ia which an effort was made to infer that he Was the ",ono person" at Ottawa to whom Traver % paid. $3,000 for eervicesin ateieting to eccure the bank's charter. Mr. Calvert desired to deny abeolutely that he had ever received a cheque for $3,000 or any money at an from Traver.. reponse to questionby Mr. Hodgina Mr i Calvert reiterated that he had never had any finial dealings with Travers or the bank at that, time, Dr. Beattie Neebitt took the Stand at the opening of the sitting.

Mgr, Mathieu, Bishop of Regina, suggested also that those who go west be grouped in French centree, so ais to allow of their tongue and faith being preserved and to avoid the danger of their proximity to other religions and nationalities. If this had been done alioet twenty or thirty years ago, he said, their status would be far strong. er than it was now in Western Canada. Bishop Mathieu added thnt did not exist between the latter end any other language. French-Cenadiene who were inclined to become English were generally becoming less fervent in the Catholie faith. t 110 -4 - WESTINGHOUSE Edison Medal Goes to Him for His Achievements.
