The Rice -knight bylaw offers Goderieb an already establiabed business, one which ham grown steadily and has made proftra.

After the factory is built the cuwopthy will have a surplus of 1023,'J)t) er over as working capital, giving assurance of success in conducting the larger busmen wbicb is expected to follow upon the enlarging of the msnutecturing capacity.

Mr. Proudfoot and His Counsel Withdraw from In- vestigation in Disgust, the Partisan Majority Refusing to Allow Eviden(.e on Vital Points of the Inquiry --Member for Centre Huron Fully Justified in His Course, and Sir James %Vhitney and Hon. W. J. Hanna Rest Under Crave Sus- picion of Wrongdoing. Events have muted quickly in con- nection with the ubarges made against Kir Jaques Whituey and Hon. W. J. Hanna by Mr. Proudfoot, member fol Centre Huron. the privileges and elections committee of the l.etfielxture mel on Tuesday, but little iprogrers was tirade before it because evident that the promise of a thorough in- eentytation was a sham. Time and again Mr. H. H. 1)ewart, counsel for Mr. Proudfoot, was checked in his attempts to secure evidence, the chair - mat refusing to allow ,tuesttons to be asked along the lines desired by Mr. Uewart. Appeals to the committee against tbe,cbairttan's riding were in vain, the pat nein majority invariably upholdtug the chairman in the ap- plication of the gag. These obstructive tactics reached a climax on Wednesday rooming, when the chairman refused to permit certain ,tuesti ens to be asked hearing upon the payment, of S.iutl to Mt. Hanna by the Government contractor. Taylor. Mr. Proudfoot and his cost- •1 thet-l'- up,u withdrew from the investigation in disgust. Mr. Proudfoot stating that he would not drop his charges bat would bring them up again on the Hoot. of the House. In the Meantime enough has been disclosed to show a very serious state of affair*. HOD. W. J. Hanna, to thekycwledge of Sir James Whitney, received Viol) from a Government 'cott- tractor, and the • chaitinsn of the committee recused to allow the question whether other contributions bad been requested. Among other question- asked but suptstes>e.i were the following put to toe Thome,' wise was connecter with the Central Priaun stall ••Did you assist to manipulate a coal tender "'" ••Uid the Bon.

Piddle opinion will net he fatisfied w ith any- thing less that a' full inveetigatioh. and if the Premier and the Prey incial Secretary prefer to remain under the grave suspicions which their own con- duct and the conduct of their hench- men has raised it is high time that the ccntidence of the people of the Province of Ontario were bestowed elsewhere. • PREPARED TO PROVE CHARGES. Matter Wi11 Be Again Brought Up on Floor of the House. At this (Thursday) morning's sitting Mr. Proudfoot was called to give evi- deboe, but refused to do so. He asked permission to snake a brief statement, but the commttteee refused to bear It. Mr. Proudfoot withdrew with the re- mark. "1 will treat this committee in the way we have been treated hereto - }ore •' Mr. Proudfoot's Statement. Following is a text of Mr. Proud - foot's statement : "Yesterday 1 withdrew from this committee. aerompaoying such with- drawal with a statement that the matters in gtea.tion were first beets bt up on the floor of the House. No relied was afforded. L again went be- fore said committee, which again re- fused to permit evidence i desired luting put in. Afterwards I .node the charges on the floor of the House which are be- fore you. I asked for an investigation before a royal eomaission. The House declined my request. hot sent aeon@ to this committee, aocomtseniod by the statement of the Prime Minis- ter that a tall investigation would be granted. i retained counsel and went to a great deal tel trouble and incoo- vetsienoe to properly pressed nay cane.

"Fit ally we eeseh.d the point where evideuse of as I.pnrtaat sad vital neaten was tasdered and Woes& f was prepared to go on and prove to the hilt the batancr of my 'allegations, but owing to the course taken 1 found it impossible to do so. After I with- drew evidence for the defence was permitted of a nature siluilar to that which hail not leen allowed to be put in on my behalf, on the groubd that it was irrelevant. This satiotles etre that the eouroe l took in withdrawing wag fully justified. 1 du not intend to let the matter drop here. On Tuesday next I will bring the whole question up on the floor of the House. ;In the meantime, and until the matter is disposed of, I must most respectfully decline to answer any questions or take any further steps be- loie this committee.
