CANADIAN SCANDAL
MISSING CHURCH FUNDS TOTAL LARGELY DEPLETED (Received August 28, 5.5 p.m.) WINNIPEG, Aug. 27 The fact that the funds of the Anglican diocese of Rupert's Land and of St. John's College, totalling about £250,000, have been seriously depleted, was disclosed today by the heads of the church. They started an examination of the books following upon the arrest two days ago of John Machray, K.C., bursar of the University of Manitoba and chancellor of the Rupert's Land diocese. Only about £50,000 of the Anglican fund is intact. This sum is accredited to the ecclesiastical province and was not handled by Machray. The remainder of the church trust funds is divided between the synod fund, the bishop's fund and the St. John's College fund. The St. John's cemetery fund has been impaired to an alarming extent and the clergymen's retirement fund also has been seriously depleted.
