Lindsay, June 4. business of the Bay of Quinte Conference vesterday afternoon was the receiving of the appeal of the Oshawa dissenters agains! the recent decision of the Osha- wa presbytery in charges against Rev. C. E. Cragg of Oshawa. The committee found certain regularitie# and irregularities in connection with the action = of the Oshawa Presbytery, but sus- tained the appeal of the. group from the Presbytery to the Con- ference, approved of the cemsor- ing of Rev. Charles E. Cragg, so far, and recommended that the Oshawa Presbytery 'further ad- monish" Rev, Charles Cragg. In the meantime the settlement com- mittee has not placed Rev. Mr. Cragg. The report said that while the Oshawa Presby in its rights in its judgment, and while they acted in the larger interests of the Kingdom of God in their minds, we believe that charges preferred by Mr. Sanderson were revealed and admitted by Mr. Cragg. We are of the opinion that the Osha- wa Presbytery should have fur- ther admonished Mr. Cragg, and we are of the opinion that the Bay of Quinte Conference should so admonish him through its president. Official Statement The following official state- ment was handed out after the report of the committee was adopted: "The appeal from the decision of the Oshawa Presbytery has been sustained by the Bay of Quinte Conference, Rev. C. E. Cragg was found guilty of serious offences by his presbytery at a regular meeting held in Newton- ville on Mays 3 last. Though find- ing him guilty, the presbytery de- cided to take no further action. The inference taken from the presbytery decision was that in the United Church character did not count. An appeal was taken from the decision to the Bay of (Continued on page 3) -- The si] [N. J. E. Catudal, Successor | to E. A. Everson in G.M.C. Organization Appointment of N. J. E.

Mr. Catudal, as assistant manager at Montreal, has been a popular executive. His promotion follows the elevation of Mr. Ever- son to be assistant General Sales Manager with headquarters at Oshawa. Mr. Catudal is a native of the province of Quebec, and has been associated, since his earliest years, with the transportation business, While he was attend- ing school in East Farnham, his father was engaged in making carriages.

In 1906 he became Man- ager of the Montreal branch store, to which was joined in 1913 the automobile sales operations of the McLaughlin Motor Car Company. When the Company formed a 'wholesale department for Quebec province, Mr. Catu- dal was placed in charge, and he later took charge of Pontiac sales as well in Quebec province. When the Montreal Zone was set up in 1930, he was appointed assistant Zone Manager. To succeed Mr. Catudal as as- sistant, Mr. J. C. Ross is trans- ferred from the Saint John Zone.

Toronto Gangster Wanted for Mail Robbery Shot by Indiana Police among, no doubt, many other crime stories, to Toronto's most sensational hold-up, the $120,- 000 Union Station mail-car rob- bery of June 19-21, 1928. Nearing the hour of midnight on that date, memorable in po- lice annals, half a dozen men drove an automobile past cus- | tomary barriers in the Union Station yards, all but one leaped out, armed, and covered strategic approaches and exits, then, after holding up attendants, proceeded to relieve the Windsor car of the Chicago flier of all the cash and registered mail in sight, "Billy" Boven was believed by Toronto police to have planned this robbery, Despite the interna- tional hunt for him, after the arrest and sentencing of the ac- tual perpetrators of the deed, he was never caught---never, go far as is known, was nearly caught. And "Billy" Boven"s name died out in popular recollection, if not in police records and moderated Indianapolis, June 4.--A man shot and killed Wednesday night by police of Peru, Ind., while he was attempting to blow up a fill- ing-station safe was identified by the State Bureau of Criminal Investigation = and Identification yesterday as William Boven, sought in connection with a $120,000 mail robbery in Toron- to, Ont., June 19, 1928. Boven and four others held up postal employees in, a mail car in the Union Station at To- ronto. . . Find Passport Following the shooting at Peru authorities found a passport made out to William R.

McLaughlin, relative to the administration of relief and the obtaining of a greater propor- tion of assistance from the Gov- ernment in dealing with this vital problem. The Advisory Relief Committee will also have some recommenda- tion before council with regard to its suggestion as to the deporta- tion of men who are without de- pendents in this country and who | sare not British subjects. | It is also thought probable chat amendments to the exis ng | by-law governing tramsient tra- | ders, pedlars, and hawkers as suggested by the ' Retail Mer- chants' Association, will also be tabled at Monday night's' meet- ing for the consideration of coun- cil.

OLD OSHAWA RELIG FOUND ON STREET Recalls Days of Joseph Hall Manufacturing Company An old relic of bygone days in Oshawa was picked up on the street this morning by Norman Mallett, just outside the office of Hogg & Lyttle, on Church Street. It was the front page of what was apparently an advertising booklet issued by the Joseph Hall Manufacturing Company of Osh- awa. On the front appeared a gai- ly colored advertisement of James Leffel's Improved Turbine Water Wheel, and on the other side was a letter from James Lef- fel and Company, dated Decem- ber 25, 1882, stating that author- ity had been given to F. W. Glen, of Oshawa, to build the 'Leffel Wheel." The Hall Mdnufacturing Company, it is also stated, is the only manufacturing concern in Canada, entitled to furnish this wheel, The Joseph Hall Company was one of the old manufacturing concerns. in this city, having been established in 1858, and remainéd in business here until 1886, after which its buildings were taken over by the Williams Piano Com- pany. F. W. Glen, mentioned above, was a son-in-law of Jo- seph Hall, the founder, and from 1863 on was the manager of the plant. Its business consisted large- ly of the manufacture of agricul- tural implements and farming hand tools.

The last three clauses are a dis- tinct innovation to the conference and a debate ensued. W. R.

Dr. Baldwin: "It has its. merits, there is a danger of sending men to conference vear after vear who become too officially minded." Prot. Jollife: "Laymen are the victims of an inferiority complex.' Several in audience: "Take that back." Prof, Jollife: "How often do vou see or hear a layman get to his feet in conference. They are backward This laymen's association idea will give them more encouragement." Elmer Davis, Kingston: "I am disappointed in the interest taken hy conference in the laymen, and this rew idea.
