Munitions Manufacturers Undue Profits OTTAWA. Ont, July 21 Sir Sam Hughes, Minister of Militia, is held by the Meredith-Duff Royal Commission innocent of responsibility for the negotiation of Government fuse contracts with American munition manufacturers, from which they were alleged to have profited unduly.

The findings of the commission were announced today. The contracts in question were let by the Canadian Shell Committee tA the American Ammunition Company and the International Arms and Fuse Company, and the investigation of them followed charges laid in the House of Commons by G. V. Kyte, M. who alleged that large profits were allowed with the approval of Sir Sam Hughes.

The commission finds that Col J. Wes-lev Allison, a friend of the Minister of Militia and alleged to have been one of those who divided the profits, 'was Instrumental in bringing about a contract in which he was pecuniarily interested. If we had accepted Allisons statement, the judgment continued, we would have been bound to say that his conduct in taking benefit of the agreement aB a commission without informing Gen Hughes and the committee could not either he Justified or excused. Dealing with Gen Hughes, the judgment states that he had nothing to do with the making of the contracts and, as far as evidence appears, knew nothing of the transactions being entered nThe commission mentions the agreement of Feb, 19157 by which Allison and Benjamin F. Yoakum, American financier and railroad magnate, agreed to divide the profits of whatever munition business Allison might bring in to Yoakum.

The transaction," said the finding, was but the carrying out of what is the common practice of Public Service Commission Bars Bay State Cars Holds Out Hope, However, for the Future The Public Service Commission has "dismissed witnout prejudice to anv action which may hereafter be taken the petition of the Mayor and Board Of Aldermen of Chelsea that the Wash-Ington-av (Chelsea) cars of the Bay State Street Railway Company he di. verted at Bellingham Chelsea, to the Boston Elevated tracks and operated through East Boston to the Hast Boston tunnel and thence to Bowdoin sq or Scollay sq. The Commission holds out some hope when It says that should contemplate I improvements in the tunnel service from East Boston produce a condition suitable for such an arrangement and if the matter of fares can be adjusted, the petitioners may renew their petition. In giving its reasons for refusing the petition the Commission sats. "Tne operation of these cars, in addition to those required by the Boston Elevated Railway Company, would he likely, under present methods of opeia-tion, to overtax the facilities of the East Boston Tunnel and to prevent the Boston Elevated Company from iklvirig satisfactory service to it own patrons.

It is to be remembered that the residents of East Boston are dependent upon the facilities in the Cast Boston Tunnel for all street railway service between East Boston and Boston, that this tunnel was trull by the city of Boston primarily for their accommodation, and that the interest shown upon its cost is, In part, a direct burden upon the taxpayers of the city. It should he pointed out. however, that if, through tne operation of nmlil-ple-unit train and the other impiove-nients ordered bv the Commission, tlu capacity oT the East Boston tunnel ani of the surface tracks of the Poston KD-vated Company in East Boston ahull hereafter prove sufficient to peimlt of the operation of lie servlie requested by the petitioners, the cninplu atinn growing out of the dual owneishlp of lines on which It is desired to Inaugurate a Joint service, for a single live, cent are, wM! still remain to tie settle i. "If at a later time surplus facilities are available In the East Boston tunnel, it will he in the interest ol the IP, ton Elevated Company that these should not remain idle hut should lie made a source of additional revenue to the company. Tunnels and rapid transit line which are used merely for the opeta-tlon of a single unit cur or for a puieiv local service represent a large economic waste.

If the East Boston Tunnel, as the result of the improvements described In the commission' order referred ti above, can lie utilized so as to accommodate, without detriment to the serv. ice in East Boston, additional travel not only from Chelsea, but from Hevero Beach and other points north and east of Boston on the Bay State H.vstem, a satisfactory solution will lie found for some of the most pressing problems of street railway transportation in thq metropolitan district.

Fair Today and Tomorrow A brief but none the less welcome respite from the hot wave was Bostons chief benefit from the much heralded tropical hurricane, which hit this city at 11 oclock Thursday evening and cotu tinned In force until shortly before 3 o'clock yesterddy afternoon. The ,80 of an inch of rain which descended on the city during this period cannot be characterized as a benefit, since Boston has already received more than Us shan of moisture this Summer, but the marked temperature which accompanied the east wind and rain was a blessing to those who had suffered from the heat' and mugginess of the week. The east wind proved all too brief, however, and even before.

the rain had ceased the wind began backing into the northerly and westarlv quarters, bringing with it a steady rise in temperature. During the greater part of the morning the mercury hung close to 63, the minimum for the day, but with the shift of the wind to the northwest, just before noon, a steady climb began, and by oclock when the rain ceased, it was 72. An hour later it was 75 and by 5:30 the maximum for the day, 7S, had een reached. The wind by 'this time had rounded into the southwest and the stieky, muggy atmosphere of the earlier part of the week returned. The overcoats and raincoats that had been so useful in the morning were a distinct burden on the homeward Journey.

Boston escaped the full force of the strrm, which passed to the east of this city and was central off the Maine coast last evening.
