Rey. G. H. Raley of Port Simpson,
chairman of the meeting, explained
the subject has become a prominent
one. ‘There is nothing in the way
of the evangelical churches unit-

of men for the church work and
this would help solve the difficulty.’

Ottawa, May 3.—The charges
made by Mr, Dan McGillicuddy
against Hon. Frank Oliver, that
he accepted a gift of $50,000 for
using his influence to have an
exchange of lands made to benefit
a railway company, are to be
investigated by a parliamentary
committee of five. This is to be
done at the request of Hon, Mr.
Oliver, who promptly asked for
an investigation as he
heard of the charges against his
