Between Men at Investigation at Quebec FORMER STAR EDITOR MADE SOME CAUSTIC REMARK.8 AS TO THE CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE.Quebec, Feb.7.\u2014Keen interest was aroused at yesterday\u2019s session of the Legislative Council which met yesterday on the attempt made by Mr.B.A.Macnab, editor of the Daily Mall, to question Sir Hugh Graham on the reasons why Sir Hugh had refused to publish the charges of corruption against members of the Legislature.All questions bearing on the matter were peremptorily ruled out by Hon.Mr.Chapais as being irrelevant.Sir Hugh Graham stated to the committee he was at a loss to know why he had been summoned.It was true the charges of corruption had been submitted to him for use in the journals in which he was supposed to be interested.\u201cOn the advice of counsel,\u201d added Sir Hugh, \u201cI refused to have anything to do with the charges.\u201d Mr.B.A.Macnab, editor of the Mail, who was for many years the right hand man of Sir Hugh in the editorial rooms of the Montreal Star, made some caustic references to what he called a conspiracy of silence.\u201c \u2018On advice of counsel,\u2019 said Mr.Macnab, contemptuously.\u201cThat from a man who knows the newspaper business from top to bottom, and whom I can say from twenty-five years\u2019 personal experience and personal contact with him that in nine cases out of ten he disregards his lawyer\u2019s advice, takes the bit in his teeth, goes ahead and puts matter in publications controlled by him which on all occasions might not bear the scrutiny.\u201d MOUSSEAU TOO ILL TO ATTEND.I Quebec, Feb.7.\u2014That the condition of Mr.J.Octave Mousseau, the accused ex-member of the Legislature, j is decidedly serious and might prove fatal, was the consensus of opinion of the three

city against the government of General Huerta.Telephone messages early failed, however, to confirm the rumors of fighting.It was thought that the fact that troops had been hurriedly sent to the

Light Used ELECTRIC LIGHT COMMITTEE WILL ALSO MAKE EXPERIMENT WITH USE OF SLOT METERS Granby, February 7.\u2014(Special)\u2014 The Council has adopted a new plan for collecting electric light bills,

corresponding period of the pre-j ccd ng year, the balance will apply I on next quarter, if more current is ; used, the balance will be collected.The electric light committee have purchased a slot meter and if it proves satisfactory they will very likely have them installed in various parts of the town.T ir n if the householder desires to illuminate all he will have to do is to drop a quarter in the sloti turn on the light and when its value In current has been used the lights will go off automatically.This would be an improvement on the rather crude system at present in use.FilM ST IM
