Samoan Evidence Nearly All Heard
MUCH IRRELEVANCE COMMISSION S BUSY TIME Special to Pr- .Issocialioii. —By Wireless Reed. 10.5 a.m. APIA. Tuesday. The evidence before the Samoan Commission was practically finished yesterday evening, though a sitting in Chambers to-day will possibly result in one or more witnesses being heard. Otherwise the Commission's public sittings stand adjourned for two days to give counsel time to prepare their addresses.
To date the commission has sat - days of usually six and a-half hours and has heard scores of witnesses some of whom spoke as the represen tatlves of scores of others.
Much irrelevant evidence has been adduced, and yesterday Sir Charles Skerrett, chairman of the commission, repeated his observation of two weeks ago, that anywhere else but in Apia. • where for some unascertained reason there is a peculiar atmosphere of suspicion,” he would have stopped the immaterial evidence adduced that day by Mr. Baxter, the cross-examining counsel. —A. and N.Z.
