'SUBS'
VICTORIA, R. C. Oct.
7.—The submarines Iqui
tjue and Antofaga-ta were
purchased in Seattle after
the outbreak of war and
were taken away con
trary to international law.
and by an American crew,
under command a Cap
tain Smith, supposed to
lc a United Stales navy
officer.
Victoria was stirred over testi
mony to this effect during the In
quiry by Sir Charles Davidson, Do
minion commissioner, into the pur
chase of the two vessels by Sir
Richard Mcßrlde. premier of Brit-
Irti Columbia.
Outwitted United States
The fact was disclosed by
the premier, who apparently de
lighted in the part he had played In
outwitting the Cnlted States
Premier Mcltrlde. in telling of
this, hastened to add that Smith
was uot >n the active list during
the time he made the voyage from
Seattle and during the time he stay
ed at Ksquimalt, instructing Cana
dian seamen in wibmarlne work.
Will Exonerate Premier
While no decision was given by
Sir Char lea Davidson, it Is gener
ally understood that a verdict free
ing the prime minister from all sug
gestion of graft in connection with
the purchese will be rendered.
Testimony offered by J. V pat
erson. of 'he Seattle Construction
and Dry Dock Co. from whom the
two submarine" were purchased,
which resulted in Paterson's being
reprimanded by Sir Charles. ap|>ear
ed to be on expression of indigna
tion that a suspicion of graft should
fall on the premier's shoulders.
That is how w P look at it in th«
Cnlted StTte!". a perfect outrage!"
he Is reported to have said. "And
If this inquiry has any part in It of
political animus or dirty political
tricks. I would have nothing to do
with it. We in our country would
deal more rapidly with any one who
would raise a question of that kind,
no matter what."
J. \. Palerson denied Thursday
that any significance was attached
to the part Capt. Smith played in
taking the submarines to British
Columbia.
"Capt Smith »■»« not an army
officer, lie was for a time » stu
dent at Annapolis He was acting
merely hs a servant for my com
pany. He Dad nothing to do with
the negotiations. I do not know
where he is now. 1 think he is out
of the country."
