OFFICIALS RESIGN
CANADIAN CUSTOMS SCANDAL. Ottawa, April 29. Revelations made before the ’ Parliamentary Committee investigating the administration of the Federal Customs Department have resulted in the resignation of two members of the Civil Service Commission, Clarence Jameson and M. C. Larochelle.—A. & N.Z.
A message received on Thursday stated— Inspector Duncan, a high official of the Canadian Mounted Police, swore that Jacques Bereau, a former Federal Minister of Customs, was furnished with large quantities of liquor free from Government stores in the province of Quebec, with the connivance of officials of his own department, who handled shipments on Bereau’s behalf. It was argued before the commission that these shipments were merely taken from seized samples.
