Roebuck Defends Clavir Incident Inference The two relief officers whom Hon. Inx. J. M. Robb employed as cam-- paign organizers during the last Pro-- vincial election in the Constituency of Algoma--Manitoulin, returned to their relief posts following the election, it was revealed in the Legislature yes-- terday. Later in the afternoon, Mr. Croll, at the request of Hon. W. H. Price, former Attorney--General, produced the Welfare Department's record of the two men in question. RELIEF POSITION ABUSE CHARCED The A'torney--Gencral would only give Colonel Price partial satisfaction. He admitted he could not say what Colonel Price's motive was, and must take his statement. But th> Attorney-- General said the attack had borne all the appearance of being what it was said to be in The Globe report of his original charges. '"'The inference which I drew," he said. "I think was justified." "At no time in the Legislature or anywhere elss, have I attacked the Jows," said Colon®!l Price. ATTACK ON JEWS DENIED BY PRICE H. Price, for the charge that Colonel Price had magnified the recent Clavir Incident becaure Clavir was a Jeow. Incidentally Mr. Roebuck paid a high tribute to Dr. M. M. Crawford, who was appointed under the regime of Hon. W. H. Price as Attorney--Gen-- eral to the office of Supervising Cor-- oner for the Province. "Dr. Crawford's appointment as Pro-- vincial Supervising Coroner has work-- ed out very well indeed," Mr. Roebuck said. "He has proved himself to be a most responsible and efficient official, and the changes now proposed do not in any way affect or alter his status. However, as Supervising Coroner for the Province at large, he cannot exer-- cise any real control of Coroners and their routine cases throughout the Province. The manner in which his services are of great value was recently dllustrated when this department set At'orney--General Arthur Roebuck was taken to task in yestorday's Legis-- lature by his predecessor, Colon:! W. This was announced yesterday by Attorney--General Arthur W. Roe-- buck after he had introduced into the Legislature for second reading an amendment to the Coroners' Act. Bach county, provisional county and judicial district will in future have, not only a corps of Coroners on call as at present, but a Chief County Coroner. On this official will fall the final responsibility for the investiga-- tion of all deaths from other than natural causes or under abnormal cireumstances. System of Coroners Will Undergo Change £°A structure and machinery under which Ontario Coroners carry out their duties is to be undertaken by the Provincial Government. REORGANIZATION of the At the same time Mr. Roebuck re-- affirmed to The Globe his belief that the Canadian practice of appointing only medical doctors and coroners was the best system. In England, he pointed out, lawyers were frequently given that office, because of the semi-- judicial duties involved at inquests, He felt, however, that knowledge of court procedure wes more easily acquired than even a slight knowledge of medi-- cine and anatomy, and that, in the preliminary investigation to decide whether an inquest was necessary the medical knowledge was not only valu-- able, but essential. aside a verdict of a junior Coroner's jury and had Dr. Crawford hold a new inquest. In such cases his superior knowledge and experience are invalu-- able. "But," said Mr. Rocouck, "under the old system we frequently had cases where two or three different Coroners investigated the same case, resulting in confusion of duties and districts, :;it.h no one person to take responsi-- lity." "Under the new arrangement, the chief coroner of each county or ju-- dicial district will receive reports of all deaths in his district warranting investigation; will himself carry out a preliminary investigation to deter-- mine the circumstances, and may as-- sign any one of his subordinate cor-- oners, or himself, to complete the in-- quiry and conduct the inquest, if one Register of Guests May Be Required ist camps. "It helps to trace people at times and keeps everything regular," Legislation requiring records of the guests who stop for the night at tour-- ist camps was set under way at Queen's Park yesterday. A clause in a Government bill sponsored by Min-- ister of Health, Dr. Faulkner, will give the Government the power to require that a register of guests is kept at tourist camps, summer camps and summer resorts. Provincial officials last night knew of no particular incident behind the move to put "hotel registers" in tour-- 'The clause was part of a bill which will give the Government power to license and regulate camps and rte-- sorts and prescribe the accommodation and sanitation facilities, TOURIST CAMP RECORDS URGED \ 2 Wilfrid Heighingion complained thas the bill "once again surrendered rights of citizens from the courts to a forum within their own profession, without right of appeal. Here," he said, "is a body of men chosen from a pro-- fession to sit in judgment on their business associates and rivals." A school of embalming and funeral directing will shortly take its place emong Toronto's other centres of edu-- cation, it was announced yesterday in the Legislature during second read-- ing of an amendment to the Em-- balmers and Funeral Directors Act. The bill, introduced by Hon. Dr. J. A. Faulkner, Minister of Health, pro-- vides, in addition to the establishment of the school, that supervision of funeral directors' professional ethics and standards be vested in a Com-- mission within the profession. SCHOOL PLANNED FOR EMBALMING Interpretation Dif ficult, Says Croll J. J. Glass's amendment to the Municipal Act, which containsd the germ of a slum clearance policy, was withdrawn in the Ontario Legislature vesterday when it was criticized from both sides of the House. As submitted by the Toront>--St Andrew Liberal member for second reading, the amendment provided for the notifying of the owner of any building "unfit for human habitation" that it must be eithsr improved or dem--cl".sacd. William -- Duckworth (Conserva-- tive, Toronto--Dovercourt) wanted the phrascology changed from "building" to "@welling house," and expressed deep concern for the owner of one--half of a semi--detached building who migat awake some morning to find the other nhalf of the place demonished by Gov-- ernment order, to the detriment and damage of his own half. on the bill when he said: "This mea-- sure goes much too far. The phrase. 'unfit for human habitation' is not capable of easy and definite interpre-- tation: fturthermore, the bill makes insufficient provision for vested rights. I find myself totally unable to answer the criticism of the member for Dover-- court, and urge that the bill be not ' Hon.
