In an announcement issued by Honourable L. P. D. Tilley, Premier oi.’ New Brunswick; Honourable A. E. MacDonald. Premier of Nova Scotia, and Honourable W. J. P. MacMillan, Premier of Prince Ed- ward Island, following the confer- ence yesterday, it was said that the Dominion Government has express- ed its willingness to receive the Mariirinre Premiers at Ottawa at an early convenient date. The Prem-
s
iere accordingly telegraphed aug- gesting August 1st as a suitable date.
The Conference yesterday was held in. the Confederation Chamber around the table at which the Fathers of Confederation sat three score and ten years ago on Sep- tember 1st, 1864. The historic asso- ciations of the scene of the Char- lottetown Conference which led to the union of the Provinces was considered by the Prime Ministers as a most appropriate place of meeting on the present occasion.

The visiting Premiers spoke warmly in praise of the summer attractions of the Island Province.

Under the order-in-council, the commission will continue the workI of the committee which sat four] months while Parliament was in session.

The town of Antigonish was not in danger ‘out a sparcely settled farm district was directly in the path of the unchecked flames which had raced through 700 acres of timber- land in the last 36 hours.
Fire apparatus from the town has
been working steadily to combat the flames but without sufficient water supply firemen were helpless. Heavy clouds of smoke hung over the town and the fire could be clearly seen as it crackled through the woods on the outskirts. Volunteer workers returning to Antigonlsh tonight tired and worn out after striving against odds under a blistering sun. stated that the blaze was running away from them and was far worse than early this morning. Fire warden George Mc- Chesrrey and a band of workers will continue on duty during the night.

(AP. by Guardian's Special Wire) PARIS, July il-Scandal struck at two former l‘ 1h government min- isters today Nvith the opening of criminal action against Senator Rene Renault, former Minister of Justice, and the beginning of pos- sible action against Albert Dalimer, former Minister of Colonies.
The procureur‘ of the Republic, the highest prosecuting official in France, ordered the opening of the examination of Renault on a charge of selling his firtiuence.
Evidence has been presented to the Charrrhcr" of Deputies committee investigating the Stavisky scrandsl that Renault accepted 50,000 rancs a; a retainer to intervene on the behalf of the late Serge StaVlSky-
Judge ordorrncrur, \\‘I‘iO conducted most of the investigations in con- ncction with the collapse of Stav- iskys Bayonne Muncrpal Pawn- shop, was directed to determine whether the charges warrant hold- ing the former minister for trial.
The article under which the in- vestigation is being made calls for the loss of civic rights and a flni! double the amount accepted if he is found guilty.
The Chamber of Dputics commit- tee at the same time ordcrcd that the evidcrlce with regard to Dalim- ier and two of his subordinates be sent to the Minister of Justice for action.
Dalrnicr resigned from the Dal- adier cabinet last January as a re- sult of the c,c.t of the scandal on the public, and the cabinet later fell.
Police had disclosed atllhIit time that the Minister of Coon es was quoted in e, circular put out by

From the New York Journal he went to the Morning World.
In May, 1903, Frank A. Munscy invited Davis to come into the magazine field as one of his staff of magazine editors. That was the bflsinning of an association which for twenty-five years identified Davis with the leading fiction writ- ers of America and England.
