April 26,190*7.\n^$1.00 Per Year in Advance.\nTOOK RAKE OFF\nFoster Made Profits on the\nSide While Manager of\nTrust Funds\nOperations Concealed Until\nInsurance Commission Exposed Them\nSpecial Correspondence of Tlte Sun.\nOttawa, April 19.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Parliamentary\nhistory does not furnish a parallel of\nthe brilliant and scholarly speech delivered in the house on Wednesday last\nby Hon. Mr. Aylesworth, minister, of\njustice, in reply to a statement made\nby Hon. Mr, Foster, whose questionable dealings with'the trust funds of\nthe Forresters, under the shelter of\nwhat is known as the Union Trust\ncoinpany had been so scathingly commented upon by the royal commission\non insurance.\nFor many months Mr. Foster,smart-\niug under the publicity which attached\nto the revelations before the commission, had threatened and pleaded and\nsupplicated for an opportunity to place\nhimself in a better light before his\nfellow-members of the house, and was\ngiven an opportunity upon voting the\nmoney for the expenses of the eommis\nsion in committee of supply.\nThe honorable gentleman took full\nadvantage of his opportunity and\nstrove with all his ability to make the\nworse appear the better cause. The\nprominent pleas maae in his three\nhour address were:\n1. That th \"mutters were private\nand should not huve been revealed.\n2. That the commission oversteppi d\nits powers, and was not impartial.\n3. That the whole affair was a\nscheme to ruin hiin politically.\nMr. Foster's anxiety tu explain his\nhandling of trusl funds It-il some people to think tnat probably lie had an\nexplanation that would appeal to reasonable men, and that he had been\nmisrepresented and prejudiced. After\nhearing his appeal, made with all the\ncasuistry ami iogic of which lie is possessed, and all the accompaniments of\ngestures well known to the trained\npolitician, there is only one conclusion\nto arrive at, only one voidict to render. Mr. Foster did the t liugcharged\na;ainst hiui. He was guilty of hand\nlinn trust funds inegularly and iu de\nfiance of statutory enactment.\nWith les.iect to these affairs, Mr.\nFoster directed hs energies to disputing thu legal aspect uf liis position,\ncontrary to tiie views expressed by the\nminister of justice. He denied few\nthings, but entered Upon lengthy cx-\np'anations of things ut' small impor)\nlance\nThe house heard hill) foi hours with.\ntin greatest | atieuce, He was met\nwitli';uo intaU'tiptiotis, few questions,\nHi*, listener.*- carefully analysed every\nsuitouce impartially, for everybody\nreal /.*d that tl e political future of a\np iblic man was at stake. At the con-\nelusion of the statement judgment was\nsus] ended until Mr. Aylesworth had\nreplied, and then the result of the\nverdict was no longer in doubt. A few\nsimple words express much, for they\nconvey the whole story. Mr. Foster\nhad fa'lerl to eriiivinpc the house.\nAs he failed to I'mivinee the house,\nso he will fail to eoiivince the country,\nfor the honse is representative of the\ncountry, It may perhaps be an occasion of regret that a man of the undoubted ability and brilliant parts of\nMr. Foster should be lost to public\nlife, but it is better so than that a\nman who had failed with respect to\nlesser trusts should by any possibility\nbe placed ir charge of the greater ones\npertaining to his country.\nHon. Mr. Ayleswosth approached\nhis subject in a calm and judicial\nmanner, never once sacrificing logic to\noratorical effect, but upon occasions\nrising to lofty heights of cogent reasoning and unanswerable deduction.\nThe minister of justice indicated\nthat the commission was appointed\nin the publio interest to investigate\nthe operations and transactions and\nthe investments of every- life insurance company doing business in Canada. Mr. Aylesworth alluded to the\nalacrity and willingness with which\nofficials of other companies had produced their books, and compared this\nwith the attitude of Mr. Foster, who\nhad only done so fearing the consequences of refusal. Answering Mr.\nFoster's complaint that he was not allowed counsel, the minister of justice\nreminded, .him that he (Foster) was\nohly a witness, and that in no court\nwas a witness allowed counsel, neither\nwas it necessary, for the court always\nprotected witnesses. In Mr. Foster's\ncase, however, he was allowed counsel\nin the person of a very eminent man,\nMr. Nesbitt, who participated freely\nin the discussions.\ni\nThe minister of justice expressed\nsurprise at Mr. Foster's complaint at\nnot being allowed to give his whole\nstory, in view of the fact that he asked\nand received permission to make a\nstatement before the commission, and\nin fact did make a very extended statement after having informed the com\nmission that they had searched him\nright through. He had concluded his\nremarks in these woi ds:\n'I thank you, your honor, for allowing me to make this stateinent,and\nI do not think that 1 should leave\nthis box without acknowledging your\nuovarii ig courtesy to ine; though I\nhave sometimes had the audacity to\nquestion your ruling, it has been on a\nquestion of principle, and nothing\npersonal, of course. 1 do not. think 1\nought to leave either without acknowledging that so far as Mr. Shep-\nley is concerned he has treated me\nwith unvarying courtesy, and all who\nhave been associated with him, the\nofficers and others, have been more\nthan kind.\"\nMr. Aylesworth emphasized the\nduty of the commissioners to make a\nrigid examination into the afl'airs of\naii insurance companies without feur\nor favor, and disclaimed any undue\npressure upon Mr, Foster's eompany\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthe Union Trust comptny. He cited\nthe contention of Mr. Foster's counsel, that while tne investments uf the\nForresters might lie examined, those\nof the Union Trust company were\noutside ef the scope of the commissioners' powers. The minister of justice\nshowed the faiaey of tins view\u00E2\u0080\u0094that\nbecause the Forresters had handed\nover their funds to the Union Trnst\ncompany to invest, the investments\ncould not be followed. He contended\nthat subsidiary companies formed for\nthe purpose of hnndl-ini insurance\nfunds cunie properly within the -cope\nof the commission, and distanced the\nobjections raised by counsel for companies other than thut represented by\nMi. Foster to prevent such examinations, and how in evory case such ob\njection had been overruled; ull came\nwithin the law, all were treated alike.\nMr. Hellmuth, counsel appointed by\nthe Ontario government to watch the\nproceedings before commission, upheld\nthe opinion of the commissioners 'n\nthese words:\n\"I should have thought that if it\nhad been shown that the Union Trust\ncompany, as stated hy my learned\nfriend, Mr. Shepley, had been really a\ncreature of the Forresters, created by\nthem for the purpose of investing their\nfunds, not directly, but indirectly, an\ninvestigation would be as proper as au\ninvestigation into the investments\nmade by the creator of the creature.\"\nMr. Aylesworth carefully traced the\nhistory of the formation of the Union\nTrust company, with Mr. Foster as\nmanager, and how $1,996,000 of its\ntotal of $2,000,000 of capital stock\nwas bought by money of the Forresters, that in other words it was a subsidiary company or creature of the\nForresters, and their money, and\ntheirs alone, was represeuted by its\ncapital stock, with the exception of\n$4000, which four gentlemen, including Mr. Foster, took to qualify as directors.\nThe minister of Justice made an extended reference to the laws of the\ncountry, which wisely throws about\nthe funds of insurance companies restrictions as to the course of their investments. He depicted in graphic\nlanguage the various expedients to\nevade the law praciiced by those interested, who, finding themselves hampered by the restrictions which the\nlaw has east about their investments,\nendeavor to set the law at naught by\nforming a trust company which for all\npractical purposes shall be another\nname for the insurance company itself. In such case every restraint and\nevery guard may be cast to the winds\nand wild speculation takes the place\nof legal investments, and the funds of\nthe widow and fatherless are gravely\nimperiled.\nThis very course had lieen adopted\nin the creation of the Union Trust\ncompany, of which Mr. Foster was\nmanager, for all its $2,000,000 of capital except $4000 was tho money of the\nForresters, and the trust company\nspeculated with it, free from the restraints imposed by the insurance laws.\nEvils such as this hail been unearthed\nin consequence of the labors of the\ninsurance commission, which throughout had acted only in the public interest, and that the law might not be\nviolated.\nMr. Aylesworth devoted some time\nto the consideration of the pi *n made\nby Mr. Foster that his operations as\nmanager of the trust company had\nb ten successful. The minister uf jus-\ntce, in severe langnage, invited the\nhouse to consider what would have\nbeen Ihe case had the speculative\ntransactions of Mr. Foster with the\nfunds of Forresters resulted disastrously. His opinion was that it\nwould have been a repetition of the\nOntario Bank atl'air, the manager of\nwhich is now a convicted felon.\nMr. Aylesworth caustically ..lluded\nto the fact that Mr. Foster hud received a commission of $5000 while\nmanager of t he trust company out of\nthe tru-t funds. This amount Mr.\nFoster disputed, but ho admitted it\nwas $125 I. Mr. Aylesworth severely\ncriticised this incident, denouncing the\nact in unmeasured terms, particularly\nin the face of a resolution passed by\nthe trust company directors that no\nofficer of the company should receive\ncommission from the opposite side.\nEvery penny of this commission was\nthe property of the trust company,\nwrongfully received by Mr. Fostei,\nthe manager of that company, while in\nits employ and transacting its business. Mr. Foster explains this incident by saying it arose out of a land\ntransaction, the money to finance\nwhich waa borrowed by himself and\nothers from the Forresters director*\".\nAnother case of taking commissions\nfrom trust funds arising out of another land transaction is admitted by\nMr. Foster in the following letter:.\nToronto, January 5, 1904.\nYours of January 2nd duly received\nre Pritchard's. sale of Swan river district lands. The contracts will be\nwith the Union Trust company in\ntrust. Cash payment will be made to\ncredit of vendors in Standard Bank of\nToronto on receipt and signing of satisfactory documents of agreements.\nTwenty-five cents per acre is to be\npaid as commission on the sale. This\ncan either be deducted from the cash\npayment, or better, you can send a\ncheque therefore signed by the vendors\nin favor of myself. I will then deposit to credit of vendors the whole\ncash payment and present cheque\nwhich will be paid therefor. Kindly\nsee that purchasers are allowed to pay\nup whole amount due on lands at any\ntime without notice or bonus. Yours\ntruly, George E. Foster.\nAccordingly a cheque for $2480, or\n25 cents an acre on 9920 acres, was\nissued to Mr. Foster. This, said Mr,\nAylesworth, was trust money, money\nof the Forresters, and although concealed in the Union Trust company,\nbecame a proper subject for inquiry\nby the commissioners to enquire into\nwhose pockets the money went, they\nare assailed in the house by Mr. Foster as being false to every principle of\nhonor, and accused of desiring his political downfall.\nHaving control of trust funds to a\nlarge amount, Mr. Foster entered into\nnegotiations with several of his political friends, members of the house, to\nbuy from them 200,000 acres of land,\nupon which they held an option. Mr.\nFoster, while manager of the Union\nTrust company, Imught these lands for\nthe Foster-McGillivruy syndicate for\n$9U0,000, a profit of $200,000 to his\npolitical friends. This money was advanced by Mr. Fostei, manager of the\nUnion Trust company, to Messrs. Foster, McGillivray it Co., or a new entity called into existence for the purpose, and known as the Great West\nLand company. The security was the\nlands only, and the money was the\nmoney of the Forresters which had\nbeen exchanged for trust company\nstock.\nThe only asset this company had\nwas its capital stock of $100,000, and\nits indebtedness to the Union Trust\ncompany of $000,000; 482-J shares of\nthis stock were divided between Mr.\nFoster and two friends, somo went to\nother parties, and 337 J remained, it\nbring understood that thoy wero designed as compensation for the financier who should find the money to\nmake payments for the land,\nThese S87*| shares wore worth about\n$85,000 in cash, and were the property of the Union Trust company.\nMr. Aylesworth carefully reviewed\nthe dnty of the commissioners to trace\nthis money, which was trust company\nmoney, therefore Forresters money.\nHe went very carefully over the events\nwhich led to six directors of the\nUnion Trust company discussing as to\nwhether these shares should be returned to Messrs Foster k Co. Finally n direetors meeting was said to be\nheld, although it is sworn to by witnesses and directors that they knew\n(Continued an Page Two.)\nEND NOTFAR OFF\nProspects Good for Early Resumption of Work in the\nCoal Fields\nMen Have Submitted Proposal Which Operators\nWill Likely Accept\nFernie, April 24.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The situation\nhere has taken a decided turn for\nthe better. The conference that was\nto have been held tonight at 7:30\nwas postponed until tomorrow morning at 9 at the request of the operators.\nEverybody connected with thc\ntrouble is confident the end has been\nreached.\nSeen tonight Vice-President Lewis\nof the miners,said: \"The prespects\nof finding a solution of tbe present\ndifficulty this week are more favorable than they have been any time\nsince the beginning of negotiations.\nWe have submitted a proposition,\nand the operators will tomorrow\nmorning present a counter proposition to us, and we do not know if it\nwill be acceptable or not. Any other\nrepresentation of the situation is\nlikely to leave a wrong impression.\nThe ofliceis of tbe union are hopeful. The critical stage has arrived,\nand the slightest thing may jeopardize the whole situation.\"-\nDeputy Minister of Labor Mackenzie King is also of tbe opinion\ntbat the end is not far off. In an\ninterview he said that the situation\nat the present time is brighter than\non any occasion since the Calgary\nconference.\n\"I waB hopefnl last night,\" he said\ntonight, \"and I am very hopeful\nnow. Tbe country haB no reason to\nbe alarmed. I am satisfied with the\nprogress of events. It is much better to have a delay of a few days,\nwhile ihe disputants come together,\nthan to force a third party\ninto the dispute. If I see the parties meeting together in joint conference and believe they are getting\nnear to a settlement there iB no need\nof government intervention, but if I\ncame here and found them noi, trying to solve the difficulty, I would\ntake a different course. A voluntary\nsettlement is preferable . to what\nmight take place by the intervention\nof the new law, and is much more\nlikely to be permanent. As it was\nwhen thc bill was first introduced,\nit was not the number of investigations that would be held under it\nthat would justify its enactment, but\ntho number of investigations it\nwould obviate thc necessity of hold\ning. It the public had been getting\nill-treated in any way, and there\nwere not prospects of a settlement,\nsome tactics would have been followed that would have put a stop to\nthe dispute in short order. The new\nlaw is acting just as it was designed\nto do.\"\nPresident Sherman, of the miners'\nunion, also says there iB a probability oj a settlement at the conference\ntomorrow morning.\nThose in a position to know estimate that it will take about two days\nafter ihe contract is agreed upon for\nthe men to get back to work. 5flje -EfonUuj Brnx\nI'ubllshod at Grand Forks, British Columbia.\na.

If\nhe receives an audience at all, the\nchances are he, together with his\n\"better terms\" question, will be referred back to Ottawa.\nThe energetic and effective measures taken by the federal govern1\nment to avert a suicidal struggle between capital and labor in the East\nKootenay coal fields, show the difference between a government that\nacts as well as talks nnd a government that merely talks\u00E2\u0080\u0094like the\nVictoria talking machine, tor instance.\nTOPICS OF THE TOWN\nThe grounds of the Grand Forks\nRace Track association are being\nimproved, and the track is now in\nfairly good condition. In a few days\nit will be in first-class shape. A system of waterworks is also to be installed at the park. During the past\nweek 0. D.

As a\nmember of the eity council you have\nat all times done ynur utmost to advance the best interests of the city,\nand as a private citizen your honesty and integrity under all circumstances have won the respect and admiration of all.

It is the earnest hope of\nus all that you and your family may\nfor the future enjoy continued success and good health. Signed on\nbehalf of tho citizens of Grand Forks,\nJefkkuy Hammar, Mayor.\nMr. Donaldson wns deeply affected by this nddresB, but made an\nappropriate reply, in the course of\nwhich he expressed deep regret at\nthe exigencies which compelled him\nand his family to sever their social\nties with the citizens of Grand Forks.\nM Burrell and a number of other\ncitizens also spoke briefly, all\ntestifying to the excellent qualities\nof Mr. Donaldson ns ii citizen, und\nexpressing regret at his near departure from the city.\nTOOK RAKE OFF\n(Concluded From Page One)\nnothing of them, and there is no record of tliilm, in which these shares\nwere transferred, anil referring to the\nincident, Mr. Aylesworth says:\n\"And at meetings where these\nthree directors were in one instance\nin actual majority, there were 337**\nshares of the land company which had\nfrom the first been designed to bo the\nabsolute property of the tiust company as consideration for making these\nadvances, which were shares which\nhad been earned by that company in\nthe risk it had undertaken, diverted\nfrom the purpose for which they were\nintended and put into the possession,\nfor their private benefit, of the three\ndirectors present, one of these direc\ntors being Mr. Foster himself.\"*\nContinuing,Mr. Aylesworth charged\nMr. Foster with particidating wrong\nfully in profits that belonged to the\nUnion Trust company, his direct accusation being in the following language:\n\"We have, at the very least computation, -)f85,000 which was the property of j the Union Trust Co. h\nhad earned it, which hud contracted\nfor it, and which, by this transaction,\nand upon these minutes I'have referred to, has passed from the |*posses-\nsion of the eompany into the possession of its managing director, Mr.\nFoster,*jand hisj two fellow directors\nthenre-\nare\nunder circumstances where\nmainiler of the directors, wb\ncredited with being present, say they\nnever knew anything about it.\"\nMr. Aylesworth commented upon\nother tiMiisaetiiuis of Mr Fnster, one\nof them in particular referring to a\nsale to the Great West Land company\nof 8640 acres of land. No record of\nthis appears in the minutes of the\ncompany. The Union Trust \"company owned. 337J shares of the stock\nin the Great Western Land company,\nand should have reerived its profits, but\nit apparently did not. No less a sum,\nsaid Mr. Aylesworth, than $4320 was\nhanded to the directorate or executive\nof that eompanv itself. These men, of\nwhom Mr. Foster was one, took\n84320, which was the money of the\nIndependent Order of Forresters, and\nthey continue to hold it. It mav not\nlie commission, it is not so called, but\nit is, said the minister of justice, wnat\nI think if it were from the other side\nof the house and were a transaction in\nwhich any one felt there was a political significance, would be called a rake\noff and startling instance of graft.\nWhen the minister of justice concluded Mr. Foster had been stripped of\nhis specious covering.'and stood naked\nbefore the house, exhibited in his true\ncolors, as a man who charges wrongdoing and had himself been guilty as\nproved by the commissioners. Mr.\nAylesworth paraded the various iniquities and breaches of trust, illegal\nprofits and rake offs that Mr. Foster\nhad enjoyed while acting as manager\nof the funds of the Forresters. He\nshowed how companies were formed\nfor the purpose of handling operations\nthat could thereby be concealed, and\nhow the profits thus made were diverted by Mr. Foster from their legitimate channel.\nNo more can Mr. Foster sanctimoniously raise his hands in the house\nand accuse men of gaafring. No more\ncan the hero of illicit commissions\ncriticize the government and receive\nconsideration. No longer can the man\nwho lent trust funds to himself and\nmade a rake on the side protect thc\npublic treasury of Canada. For the\nfuture the man who by a royal commission bus been adjudged guilty of\nvarious breaches of trust with regard\nto the management of trust funds can\nnot exert that influence on the public\nlife of Canada which might be expected of one whoso transactions had been\nof a character to provoke commendation rather than censure.\nTHOIIOUGIIBitKl> EGGS\u00E2\u0080\u0094for\nsale, Wyandotte and Blaolc Minorca\neggs' 81 00 per setting.
