AGAIN ADJOURN THEFT CASE

Defence Wants Witness Who Is
at Granby Bay.

The case of Isack Mackenin,

charged with the theft of watches

and money, oceupied the attention

of Judge Young's court for sev-
eral hours yesterday. The ac-
cused does not deny that the
watches were left with him, but

does deny that he hid them where
they were found by the constable.
The line of defence that is put up
is that Brown, who is alleged to
be interested with the accused in
land in Kitsumkalum, put the
watches there himself in order
get the aceused in trouble and
thus get him out of the way. In
order to account for the increased
amount of money the accused is
known to have had when finally
arrested the attendance of an-
other witness was required by the
a man named Idi Mieni,

There are more than*500 people

CITIZENS OF STEWART ANGRY
AT HAVING TO PAY WHARFAGE

|LIBERAL GOVERNMENT PROMISED ° THAT IT WOULD BE A

FREE PUBLIC WHARF—CONSERVATIVES ARE

The action of the department of

marine and fisheries in putting
the Stewart wharf on the list of
charging dockage and
wharfage fees has certainly not
met wil} the approval of the busi-
ness interests of the average citi-

those

zen. It comes rather late in the
day to inaugurate a system of
wharf dues when the real need
has pasesd, and particularly in

view of the fact that the one pas-
senger steamship line plying to
this port has its own representa-
tive to look after freight receipts.
lowever, this is not the point of
greatest objection. The Miner
contends that the present govern-
ment is not fulfilling the prom-
ises of its predecessors in con-
ection with the Steward wharf.
When the wharf was built the
William Templeman was
the sitting member for Comox-
Atlin and also minister of inland
revenue, and he assured the ex-
ecutive committee of the Stewart
Citizen's Association that the

RATEPAYERS LIKELY TO BE

Among other bylaws to be voted
upon tomorrow the ratepayers
will be called upon to approve
of the granting by the city of a
site on Acropolis Hill to the Do-
minion government in order that
the latter may erect a drill hall
that will be a credit to the city.
When it is considered that the
government proposes to spend
about $60,000 on such a building
and that a large portion of that
amount will be spent locally,
there should be little doubt as to
the advisability of voting for the
bylaw. A building such as is
proposed will prove a great con-
venience to the city in many ways.
Occupying a commanding position
on Acropolis Hill, it will also be
a great addition to the archi-
tectural beauty of the city. The
plans call for a building 85 feet
by 185 feet.

The following correspondence
pertaining to the matter has been
received by Mayor Pattullo:

Ottawa, April 14, 19143.

wharf would be a_ free public
wharf, and that when Stewart be-
came incorporated the same
would be turned over to the
future city as a public asset and
utility.

It is quite within belief to ex-
pect that the present minister of
marine and fisheries is not cog-
nizant of this undertaking, as al-
so H. 8. Clements, M.P., the rep-
resentative of the constituency,
and for this reason the executive
committee of the Citizens’ Asso-
ciation drafted a_ resolution
pointing out Stewart's claims in
the matter. Looking to the future
of the town we contend that under
no circumstanees should our
rights be forfeited in the case in
point.—Portland Canal Miner.
