Probably nowhere in the world can a 1 counterpart be found of the public auction to be conducted by the Gov- . eminent here tomorrow for the sa'e j of exclusive salmon fishing privileges j 1 in New Brunswick waters. The aue- j 1 tion is an annual affair and never fails to attract representatives if i ' mauy noted sportsmen and million aires of America and Europe. Leases of the telling rights—with rod only—in front of the ungranted , lands on various New Brunswick ' rivers, which are advertised as tin most famous fishing waters in the world, will be disposed of at the auction. The present holders of the leases are largely New York and New England millinaires who spend their summers hooking salmon from j these famous waters. Some of the pools on the Resti- 1 gouche river are especially tarnous. One, for instance, is known as the ' Million-Dollar Pool, because its owners say it has provided $1,000,- 000 worth of sport each season. This famous pool and all the rest of the fishing is so easily accessible that the millionaire club members see ' their private cars parked on a sid ing of the Canadian National Rail ways while they cast a fly upon the waters of the Restigouehe. But the cost of salmon fishing is going up and the new upset prices set forth in the Royal Gazette offi cial notice of tomorrow’s auction places the total annual rental to be brought into the treasury of the Province at a minimum of $51,250 — j more than three times what was j actually paid in 1922. And from i prfsent indications the upset prices I will not approach the figures which i these famous fishing rights will bring. Want Teachers Retirement Law.

Wil- j liams Was Mistreated atj State Hospital, His Fam-j ily Bringing Charges. Raleigh. April .7—Attorney Genera 1 Dennis G. Brummitt today was preparing his report to Governor McLean on the Morganton hospital investigation, but said he was uncer tain when formal pronouncement of the findings would be made. The investigation was instituted upon legislative authority at the re-j quest of the family of H. B. Wil liams. of Beaufort County, alleged to have died as a result of mistreatment and inattention at the state institu tion. The Williams family pictured a scene of revolting filth and inattention in their testimony, the widow going i so far as to accuse hospital authori ties of "murdering” her husband. Dr. John MeCampbell, superintend ent. and other hospital attaches, tes tified that Williams came to the hos pital in an incurable condition and re ceived attention ordinarily accorded such patieuts. On cross examination by the Attor ney General, however, they admitted that Williams did not receive special attention, explaining that it was im possible for the three attendants as signed to look after the forty patients in flic word where he was confined. “What could we do?" inquired Dr. MeCampbell. “You know how hard it- is for us to get money." BIG TOTAL REACHED BY VETERAN LOANS] - $33,300 Is Distributed to 200 Appli-j cants From Office at Charlotte*. Charlotte News. A total of $33,300 was distributed I to World War veterans residing in North Carolina in 260 loans made I UH Chariot -offlee >* the | I eterans Bureau in "the first' four I business days of this month, and with i all funds exhausted, applications for I loans aggregating $30,000 remain on i file, according to information obtained i Wedtsesday afternoon from .1. W. I Reynor, disbursing officer at the bu-! rcan's local office. Mr. Beyfior said an appeal to the | central office of the bureau, at Wash- i ingtoii, resulted in telegraphic not ill- ! cation being received Wednesday morn-1 ing that an additional $5,00(1 would ; be made available immediately for loan through the office here. That would increase to $38,300 the amount of the loans this office was authorized to make in the course of this month. A total of 200 loans were made prior to noon Wednesday and it was forecast that an additional 25 would be made in the afternoon, exhausting all the available funds. The applications for the loans to talling $50,000 that cannot be made now will be given consideration when additional funds should be made avail able, Mr. Reynor said. Owing to errors in filing out the notes, most of which were attributed by Mr. Reynor to oversights on the part of notaries j public, a rather large number of ap-j plications for loans were returned to ! the applicants. These applications lost their places in the order of filing, lie said, and. if subsequently returned, will be filed according to the time of last receipt. Some of the veterans indicated that they asked loans on their adjusted compensation certificates because they feared they might some time lose their value. Mr. Reynor said that the holders should regard these cer tificates as being of gilt-edged govern ment securities. He urged veterans who do not immediately need the money to defer asking loans from , funds of the Veterans Bureau so that those may be in urgent need may be provided first.
