WALES WHEAT SCANDAL.
««» QUESTION OF COKRUPTION. Prose Association—By Telegraph— Copyright. SYDNEY, July 24. At the sitting of the Wheat Commission Mr W. C. Graham (Minister of Agriculture) stated that there was no truth in the suggestion that, directly or indirectly, he had received a penny in connection with the wheat contract. Mr Georgeson likewise denied having made any profit, except- that of ordinary trading; neither had he paid money to any person improperly. These statements were made after Mr Molesworth had handed to Mr Justice Pring a list of 12 persons who he said had supplied him with indirect evidence of conniption in connection with the sales. (Received July 24, at 9.25 p.m.) Mr Harold Darling, a member of the Federal Advisory Wheat Board, gave evidence that, the Georgeson wheat contract was a most amazing document. It was prepared either by a fool or a rogue. SOUTH AUSTRALIAN BOARD RESIGNS. ■ ADELAIDE, July 24.
