His friends int mate@=that the charges were old and that a certain phase of them was un- der investigation. They declined to indicate just what this phase was. Delegate Starties Committee. Delegatz Wickersham startled the committee when in executive sessioa he produced a copy of an affidavit res lating to an alleged criminal act com- mitted by Capt. D. H. Jarvis of the Alaska syndicate and Jehn H. Bullock of the John J. Sesnor Coal company of Nome. Jarvis was onc: prominent the revenue cutter service and comm’t- ted suicide in Seattle on June 22, the d after the introduction of the Wickersham resolution calling for*pro- duction of the papers in the case. Defrauded Government on Coal Con- tracts. Through connivance of these men it was charged that the government was defrauded on coal contracts and- that evidence to that effect was permitted to remain unacted upon in the atter- Tney gener: office for more than a year, until ihe statute of limitations expired last May. - Photographic Copy of Damaging Letter Dezlegate Wickersham furnished the committee with photographic copies of a letter by an attorney for the Alaska syndicate to Jarvis, adrn.i‘ling the ex. penditure of money to cohtrol govern- ment witnesses in the Hazey murder trial in 1908, wherein an agent of the Alaska syndicate was aceused of mur- dering laborers employed by rival in- terests during the construction of & railroad in Alaska. Witnesses and Jurymen Entertained. A photograph of an expense account for $1.133.40 for M. B. Morrissey, em- ployved by the dicate, it is alleged, to entertain government witnesses and jurymen in that connection, was also submitted to the committee. This evi- dence, Delegate Wickersham assertel, is likewise in the possession of the at- torney general urged on the judiciary committee the Douglass aMdavit invelving the repre- sentatives of the Nerthwestern Com- mercial -company, one of the Alaska ndicate concerns, and the Sesnor val compa. o Notified the Attorney General.

Bullock of the Sesnor Coal company, a rival of the syndicate, agreed 1o submit bids which would insure the award of the contract to on2 company or the other, there being no other com- petitor, agreed to certain lighterage charges, and fixed up a division of the profits. Price Twice Too High. The Sesnor company fot the contract to furnish 4,000 tons of coal at $28 a ton, a price which Douglass insisted was nearly twice too high, and the profits were divided. Douglass himself entered $6,700 from the Sesnor.com- pany on the books of the Northwdstern company as the latter's share of the profits. Both Bullock and Jarvis. Douglass swears, made false afdavi's to the government that no one but the company which each represented had any interest in the contract. Evidence of Entertainment of Jurors and Witnesses. The evidence submitted indicating an attempt to control government wit- nesses is a fac simile copy of a letter written by John A. Carson, counsel for the Alaska syndicate, to Captain Jar- vis, under Seattle date. May 6, 1908.

Questions ask- ed include the following: . “Did you in April, 1911, lea®e Chica- NOT EXCEED 100 Provisions Arrive at Porcupine and Worst Appears to Be Over. Toronto, Ont., July 14—Although the various relief expeditions covered the greater portion of the burned Porcu- pine district today, they failed to re- port any further loss of life than con- tained in vesterday’s despatches, which deflnitely placed the number of lives lost at abeut 100. With the arrival of additional relief workers, the burned area iz being covered more thoroughly. Many of the missing are believed to have fled far into the interior and found refuge at isolated farm houses. Although safe they may not be heard from for several weeks. Richard A, Cartwright and his son, R. A. Cartwright, Jr, who were re- ported vesterday among the missing and probably lost are safe at Hailey- bury. Reports by the latest survivors indicate that the fires started in im- mense blotches, instead of in one place, and failed to cover the whole district. Frank Cochrane, minister of lands and mines, said that he was convinced from his investigation and that of oth- er government officials, that the loss of life will not exceed 100. Latest advices received say the fires are out, Three carloads of provisions reached Porcupine today and more are on the way. Shelter tents and material for houses are also being sent. The work of rebuilding the mine struc- tures has also begun. A despateh from Halleybury says that Matheson, a town of 900, Is circled by fire, which may preve disastrous should a gale spring up. Earlton, 190 miles north of North Bay, has had several houses burned, while at En- glehart, residents are working hard, piling up and burning scattered brush- wood. There was a slight shower here vesterday. Fires were raging on the Quebec side of Lake Temiskaming, and a large number of settlers in the coun- try around Sudbury have been burned out and have had to flee for their lives. Rellef trains with provisions, tents and blankets are being rushed in over the government railway and the food supply at Porcupine is now adequate and there will be no hunger.

Road Officials Examined. Officials of the road, it is under- stood, were examined as to the cross- over which caused the train to leava the track when it struck it at high speed. Two Kinds of Cross-Overs. It was stated that there were twa kinds of cross-overs, one which it was safe to go aver at a speed of 35 miles an hour, and a second, like the one causing the wreck, at 15 miles an hour, although this one could with safety have been run over at 20 miles an hour. Engine First to Leave Track. In the testimony given by Roadmas- ter Moors it is understoood that in an- swer to a question he stated that tha engine was the first to strike the gird- er at the bridge and was the first to leave the track. Explains Delay in Removing Bodies. It is alleged that when he was asked why more speed was not used in get- ting the bodies of the last two victims out of the wreck that he said that ow- ing to the tearing up of the Uo. 2 track the steam wreckers could not get near enough to work., but that all efforts were made to get the track in condi- tion so that they could work. The working conditions, he is understood to have said, were adverse to the speedy raising of the wrecked cars. Signal Set to Slow Down . The hearing adjourned while Clar- ence Hemingway, the tower man near whose tower the wreck occurred and who saw the accident, was on the stand. He is alleged to have said that the signal was get against the traim to slow down to take the cross-ever from track No. 4 to track No. 2. Tower Man Jumped from Windew. He is alleged to have told of seeing the train approaching at a speed esti- mated to be fifty miles an hour, and that fearing that somthing would hap- pen and that the train would dash into the tower, he jumped from a window to the ground. At this point ad- journment for the daly was taken. Enginesr Had Worked All Day. Providence, Julv 14.—Mrs. Arthur M.
