Premier Hepburn today ordered a purge of nis treasury staff as he sought the "stool pigeon" whom he declares supplied Conservative Leader Earl Rowe with secret information, and he promised to "swing the Hepburn axe" for anyone found guilty of such "treachery." The Premier's order followed charges made by Mr. Rowe, Safrday, that a Hamilton man owed $545 arrears in stock transfer taxes and had received preferred treatment.

Among them Howard Green, M.P.; Herbert Anscomb, M.L.A., Victoria; B. L. Maitland, K.C., and Dr. Daniel McLellail, prominent ex-Liberal, hotly attacked the policies of the two opposing parties. "I se Pattuilo has returned to us, but not till after G.

G. McGeer left Vancouver," declared R. L. Maitland, in a speech that was loudly cheered by a good sized crowd. "When McGeer got a close-up view of the Pattuilo Government in the house he was far less complimentary to it than he is now." REAL RECOVERY NOW "We have real recovery in Canada now," he said, "but the C.

Mrs. Arthur H. Mulligan lingered near death today because of what appeared to be a heartless practical joke. Mrs. Mulligan was called to a neighbor's telephone and a woman who said she was an attendant at a hospital told Mrs.
