HARMONY WIH A aIG Il

BUFFALO, Sept. 2L-Behind closed
doors this afternoon there went into ses-
sion in this city the twelve apostles of the
much-talked-of priesteT-verein,n - or Ger
man-American Clerical union The busi-
ness was the scrutiny of documents, reso-
lutions and motions. which there was an
intention on the part of any to bring up
in The proceedings of the various sections
of the congress. No one was admitted to
the meetings save persons who desired to
submit matters for the consideration of
the committee of censors. At the close of
the meeting one of the priests said that
whatever appeared inharmonious to the
purposes of the congress was TO be eX-
cluded, and that the priests were de-
termined to steer clear in the public pro-
ceedings of all aggressions and accusa-
tiOns. Before adjournment a committee
was appointed to prepare report of the
proceedings for publication. Following
is the report:
"The German Catholic congress neld its
first preliminary meeting this afternoon.
Rev. DR.. Melssner presided. Motions and
resolutions were read and admitted for
discussion at the regular meeting to be
held tomorrow"
Tonight there was a big parade of Ger
man Catholic societies i'll which $1,000 men
were in the line The congress has ap-
parently stirred up much bitter feeling IN
Buffalo. The local papers today teemed
with columns of wara of words, in which
the terms ''liar' and ''falsehood" occurred
Father ZUrcker, temperance ad-
vocate and a strong opponent
of Cahensleyism, had offered TO
carry banner of Archbishop Ireland in
tonight's procession and the comments
and rejolnders ensuing were at least seem
iugly close to the point where personal
violence on one side or the other would
appear inevitable The offer. whether
originally joCose or otherwise. was ignored
and neither Archbishop Ireland nor
Father Zurcker cut any figure in the pa
rade
