Harrison Makes Serl ous Allegations Against Whalen Company's Methods.

SUING FOR ON ACCOUNT OF DISMISSAL Hearing of Case Adjourned Until Monday to Get Word from Ottawa. That the Whalen Pulp Paper Mills Company were a serious financial position; that a member of the company had resorted to more than, questionable methods of high finance In order to bolster up its po sition, and that he had been com pellca to tell them that if they were going to do thui kind of thing they couia take his resignation ngnt then, nun the etttct ot siuteuienls mudo in supremo court chuuibers in un urn uuvit muuo by George S. Harrison, portions of which were read in opposition to on etiort which was being made by the deicndant compuny to secure the adjournment ot. me trial of Mr. Harrison's BUit against that company, in wnich he is suing tor JOu.uuu for alleged wrongrul dismissal irom his position as conn oiler of the company, une of the incidents particularly referred to by the piaintlfi iu his af nuavit, and to which he had taken oojection, was that those lu chargu of the financing of the company, tinu mg themselves in urgent need of iuuds, were at a loss to know what they were going to uo, wnen one of the Whalens said he could find the money and, continuing Air.

Harrison explained the meinod ho had adopted to ao so. A big shipping concern, which had been handling most of the freignt of the company to Japan, was advised, said Mr. Harrison, tnat there was a large quantity ot pulp in the mills rcauy for shipment soon, and was asked to advance the bills of lading for this material, though the stuff was not, he claimed, on board ship or would not be for some months. This the shipping company, it was alleged, consented to do, and these bills of lading were used In the bank, ho said, to secure the advance alleged to be so much needed. Shingle Mill Purchase.

Another transaction to which Mr. Harrison took serious objection was the alleged purchase by Whalens of a small shingle mill at a price between some and $16,000, which was afterwards turned Into the as sets of the company at $35,000, the allegation apparently being that the men concerned had personally profit ed to the extent of the difference In volved. This transaction had been carried out without the consent In any way of the board of directors, who had later on ordered the repayment of the money. This order, however, the deponent claimed, had not been carried out. The application for adjourn ment of the trial was presented by Mr.

S. S. Taylor, K. who submit ted telegrams from Mr. James Whalen setting out that it would be impossible for him to be present at the trial, owing to the fact that as the contractor for a number of ships his company were building for the Naval Construction Board at Port Arthur, it was absolutely necessary for him to bo in constant attendance at Ottawa, A telegram from Mr.

Norcross of the board was also submitted in which the necessity for Mr. Whalen's presence for purposes of consultation regarding the ships, which were nearing completion, was emphasized. Finances Not Relevant. Mr. J.

L. C. Abbott, for Mr. Harrison, argued that the question of the financial standing of the company did come Into the matter, and while the telegram of Mr. Norcross was almost Imperative under the circumstances, it had not been shown that he was at the head of the Naval Construction Board.

"My learned friend surely does not suggest that Mr. Norcross is in collusion with us?" queried Mr. Taylor. "He must appear," said Mr. Abbott significantly, "or settle, or allow his company to become Insolvent, and deprive us of our remedy." Reputed to be Millionaire.

This statement was received with considerable heat by Mr. Taylor, who said that Mr. Whalen was reputed to be a millionaire, and would gladly give security for the amount of the claim. Mr. Abbott, however, refused to accept the security of Mr.

James Whalen, and Insisted that adjournment should not be granted. Mr. Justice Morrison, said that owing to the exigencies of the situation from the standpoint ot the Empire he could not overlook the positive statement made by Mr. Norcross in his telegram, and asked that a further telegram be sent to Ottawa In order to settle the question ot the necessity for Mr. Whalen's presence In Ottawa.

An adjournment until Monday was granted in the meantime. If the ap plication for an adjournment Is not made the trial of this action will come up on May 1, and promises some sensational developments. The plaintiff In the action was formerly the manager of the main office of the Merchants Bank in Vancouver, and left that employment to accept a position as controller of the Whalen Pulp Paper Mills Company at a salary of $50,000, the contract. It Is alleged, being tor five vears. It is stated in the claim for damages that shortly after his engagement difficulties between him and some directors arose over the financial policies of the company, and he was given leave of absence.

His salary was paid for several months, but dismissal finally resulted, the prefcent action being taken shortly afterwards.

HALF MILLION DOLLARS APPROPRIATED FOR YEAR Premier Sets Forth Administra tion's Policy With Regard to Veterans. (World's Special (Service.) VICTORIA. April 20.

Addressing the legislature frankly Friday afternoon upon the government's policy toward repatriation of the returned soldier, Premier Oliver outlined the intention to co operate with the Fed eral government by proviuicg lands tor the use and oenefit of the veterans. His bill providing facilities for this to the extent of a halt million dollars for this year, recoived second reading following discussion, and will be committed today. In a nutshell, the provincial government realized that the veterans were worthy of everything that could be done, but limited means would prevent the granting of the full measure of whut the returned soldiers deserved, said the premier. His altitude was that while the provincial government would do Its best, the enlistment of soldiers was a national necessity and the caring for re turned men a national duty. The British Columbia government, he said, was prepared to secure British Columbia lands and turn them over to the Do minion Soldier Settlement Board for bona fide soldior settlement, so that it would have no reason to look elsewhere, and further than that, would continue to offer hearty co operation along uny reasonable lines.

He regretted hat better preparation had not been made at Ottawa to care for the men who were returning in increasing numbers, and expressed the sincere hope tnat tne worn or inc Dominion board coupled with the pro. posed $2500 individual loan would assist materially in a satisfactory solution. The board has been apprised of British Columbia's desiro to cooperate, and also of tho areas which were to be available for settlement, JITNEY BATTLE BEGUN IN HOUSE J. H. Hawthornthwaite Vigorously Attacks B.

C. Electric Railway and Demands Free Competition (Worlds Special Service.) VICTORIA, April 20 The Legislative Assembly received the Vancouver Incorporation Act for second reading Friday afternoon. Mr. M. A.

Macdonald being In cnarge ot the bill winch, in its present form, provides powers for the city to eliminate the and also to Impose the business tax upon rental basis, us well as many minor amendments to the city charter. Hawthornthwaite Attacks In moving the second reading, Mr. Macdonald brietly outlined the purport of the measure. He was asKed by Mr. J.

H. Hawthornthwaite whether or pot the "jitney" interests had been parries to the so called "gentlemen's agreement" between the B. C. Electric Company and the city for the jitney elimination, receiving negative reply. Therefore, the Newcastle Labor member declared the main object of the bill was that of elimination of the small man.

It was another instance of the largo corporation forcing the small one to the wall, he Bald. The bill he termed us pernicious and iniquitous, and its contained proposal one ot the worst things the House had been called upon to sanction. Virtual mon opoly was now possessed by the B. C. Electric in Vancouver and the jitney competition had met with public favor, and he descried the method of putting tho jitneymen out of business through legislative channels rather than by that of open business com petition.

Over capitaliaztion was what the B. C. Electric was suffering from and even the elimination of the competitive; jitney would never allow the company to pay dividends on its over capitalization, he said. Wants Investigation. If the House desired to preserve a reputation tor honorable dealing, said the Newcastle member, It would appoint a judicial body to investigate the financial status ot tho company, and if it were found (as he was certain it would be) that It was over capitalized, to cut it down to $20,000, 000 or $25,000,000.

Possessing the advantages it did, with such a capital adjustment it could surely then do a profitaole business on a proper financial basis. It it could not, it could still go Into the Jitney business Itself and by superior facilities eliminate the auto service complained ot upon a proper and equitable competitive basis. He thought the B. C. Electric 111 advised in taking such a step as this a step which only served to direct attention to Its real financial situation.

VICTORIA POLICE QUITTING Dissatisfaction Over Promotion Cause of Several Resignations. VICTORIA, April 20. konslder able dissatisfaction exists among the police here because of the promotion a Junior constable to the rank of sergeant over the heads of many of his seniors in the service. Two constables quit their duties yesterday because of the promotion. Halt a dozen others signified their Intention of sending in their resignations at the end of the month and it Is likely more than halt the forge of 25 men will walk out at that time.

FRKDKRICTO.V, N.B., April 0. Fire nr'finallng In a house occupied by Garfield Peterson, Marlesvtlie, at thll momlns wiped out ten dwelling in the section known aa ttandyvtUe. Fifteen fml llee are left homeless, moat ot them losing everything they owned.

ernment, wuuo recently a deputation presented propositions, which contained not one word that could be construed as looking to the Dominion government for anything, but the entire trend of which was that it was the sole duty of the province to look after the returned men. He was utterly unable to take such a stand as this, feeling that there was a large element of national duty incurred. The propositions made estimated that ot the 60,000 men expected to return. 15,000 would want to go upon the iana, ana tne requests were that the provincial government should regard it as its duty to turnlsh these veter ans with land to the value of $2600 each, and also provide a $2500 cash advance to each. Assuming that these demands asserted the duty of the province, it would mean that the province would be asked to assume a liability of $250,000,000, of which 50 per cent would be land values and the remainder in cash.

British Colum bia was not in a position to entertain or assume any such obligations, even though it was realized that the province should help to the extent of its ability. Unfortunately there was no danger of this province doing too much for the returned soldiers, and the main regret would be that there were no ways and Cleans of doing more, said the premier. Turning the bill which provides tor the reservation from sale of any areas of suitable crown lands for soldier set tlement, the premier pointed out the second aspect which is to provide tor "homesites" near towns and cities for those veterans who do not want to go on the land, but still had a right for consideration to be equally recognized, Vancouver district, thought the premier, offered an unexcelled opportunity for the successful working of such a scheme. He reminded the House that the provincial government recently had come to tho financial assistance of that district and pointed out that large areas there had gone under the hammer for arrears of taxes. He could see no reason why some of that land could not be used for the purpose of soldier home site settlement.

Half a million dollars would be enough for the government to carry on with for the present year at any rate, thought the premleV, inasmuch as the whole proposition was more or less experimental and would have to be governed by de velopmenta UNRESTRICTED WARFARE Building of Boiits to Be Continued Regardless of War or Peace.
