Thé Capitol seems to be having a splendid run of high class pictures. Following close on the trail of the great Fairbanks pleture, "Don Q." Lew Cody in "Monte Carlo" held the boards on Monday starting a three days' engagement. As is the case in all good pictures, the Capitol was sold out last night shortly after op- ening time and those inside saw one of the Tinest film stories presented in a long time. Different in many respects to the average rum of ple- ture, containing an interest that | seems entirely new, depicting situa- | tions hitherto unthought of and crea- ! ting an interest that cannot escape, Monte Carlo" is truly a pleture well | worth going far to see. There is a laugh in every foot of the film and Lew Cody is the cause. Cody in "Monte Carlo" possesses the ability to create fun and amusement where others fail and he will be found at his best in this picture. In addition to this splendid feature | the Capitol offers other Feels that | should prove very entertaining. The | "preliminaries" to the feature pic- tures at the Capitol are well chosen and theatre-goers make it a point to see them. The Capitol programme for the first half-ef this week is one of the best {fi 'weeks, Le MAY COME TO QUEEN'S, Rumored that Ottawa Quarter Will Be Here, Rumors were current om the street today to the effect that Char- lie Lynch, famous quarter-back of the Ottawa Dominion champions, Was coming to Queen's in the fall.

Ottawa, April 27.--The confiden- tial report of Inspector Walter Dun- can, which has been before the cus- toms probe for some weeks, was made public this morning. Chairman Mer- cler announced at the outset of this morning's proceedings that the com- mittee had decided unanimously that the report be read. The report states that evidence tak- en by Inspector Duncan shows that Hon. Jacques Bureau, ex-Minister of Customs and Excise; R. R. Farrow, Deputy Minister, and M. J' Laroch- elle, member of the Civil Service Commission, "received liquor that they knew was being shipped from the Government warehouse in the province of Quebee, city of Mont- real," also that they contravened the Canada Temperance Act and the On- taria Temperance Act in transporting Hquor through the province of Que- bec into Ontario, The report includes a complaint from H. Provencher to the Deputy Minister of Customs that R. P. Clerk, inspector' of Customs of the port of Montreal, was "shipping out of the province of Quebec a large quantity of liquor through M. F. Wilson, chief preventive officer, to Hon. Jacques Bureau, former Minister of Customs, R. R. Farrow, Deputy Ministre o#Cus- toms, and of. J. Larochelle, member of the Civil Service Commission." The evidence discloses, Inspector Duncan states, that R. P. Clerk has received wholesale quantities of liquor from the customs house for a number of years and large quanti- ties of sugar and molasses. It reveals, says Inspector Duncan, that Inspector Clerk used a smug- gled and stdten car and illegally re- moved the tires from the car under seizure that had been sold by tender to H. Provencher. J.
