BISHOP CURTIS's VIEWS.
Division In the Catholic Church are
Absurd and impossible.

He Says That All Reports OF Trouble or
Division In the Catholic Church are
Absurd and impossible.
A despatch from New York in yester.
days EVENING JOURNAL stated that
some Of the best known Of the Catholic
clergy In the New York archdiocese had
prepared circular protesting against
the attacks upon the result Of Monsignor
Satollis mission to this country, declar.
ing that they were instigated by certain
prelates OF their church who were anx.
ious to foster here the customs Of foreign
lands.
An EVENING JOURNAL reporter called
upon Bishop Curtis last night to learn
the light in which the priestly war is re.
garded by the local clergy.
"This talk about controversies and a
division In the church is all nonsense. "
said the bishop. 1T is first heard of in
the newspapers some Of which, unfortu.
nately, are too prone to magnify Vague
rumors. There is no trouble or division
You might as well talk of dividing
Christ
He added that everybody made mis-.
takes at times, and suggested that what
is now commented upon as a difference
Satolli's mission may possibly have
originated through the indiscrete and
mistaken comments Of some fallible
priest. "But all talk Of split in the
Church Is absurd, " continued the bishop.
"The holy father is the head of the
church, and any one who criticlses his
acts is not a Catholic
Regarding the restoration Of DIR, Nc
Glynn and the strength of Cahenslyism.
the bishop disclaimed any interest in
either subject, He said, however, that
every Catholic felt glad when q priest
returned 10 the fold and that, therefore,
the news OF DR.. McGlynn's release from
papal censure was gratifying to him and
to his brethren From the little he knew
of Cahonslyism, he said, he thought the
object of that movement commendable.
He protested throughout the interview
that he knew nothing definite about the
subjects, had read very little about them
and was unable to render any responai
bic opinion.

A Young Phiiadelphian Claims that Il Is
His wirc's JOY to ''Do Him Up"
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. GA divorce
case came up for trial yesterday afternoon
before Judge Breezy in Common Pleas
Court No. which promises TO be hard
nut for both the court and the jury 70
crack, as the evidence of both sides Is
equally positive. Louis Friedman, a
young man about 81 is seeking to get a
divorce from his wife, Rosie Friedman, a
pretty little .black-eyed woman Of about
2S.
Friedman, who said he was married in
1881, bases his application for "A divorce
on cruel and barbarous treatment. He
said he was married ia 1881, and three
weeks after his wedding was obliged to
leave his wife because she clicked" him.
From that time on TO the present time Il
was her daily Joy TO do him up. One
time she bit piece out of his arm and he
was forced to Jump out Of a second story
window She had knocked him sense
less with a beer bottle and then went for
the ductor, who sewed up his head She
made 1t a weekly practice to have him
arrested on some fictitious charge and
would never appear against him or take
him to court.
The case was not concluded yesterday
and the court room was filled with quite
an array of witnesses on both sides. The
wifes defense is that instead Of her
being cruel TO her husband, he was cruel
TO her, and her counsel says that this
will be clearly shown TO the Jury before
/ the case is ended

POOLS STILL FLOURISH.
Railroads Divide Freight
Traffic Despite the Law.
MOcKING TIE INTERSTATE LAW

The Percentage of Allotment Said to
Have Been Determined and the scheme
Is Booming Despite the Prohibition OF
Congress.
New YORK, Jan. 5.-According to the
New York Herald Aldace +. Walker,
who used to be a member Of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, which was
created specially to see that the rail
roads did not violate the Interstate Com
merce law by discrimination or pooling of
traffic. is now the chief official Of a pool
of the trunk lines which has finally di-
vided its business in apparent violation
Of the law.
For some time after the pool was
created on November 16 it was held in
allegiance. The presidents Of the trunk
lines wanted it to be understood
that they had no intention of
violating the law, but rather to wait
until It was amended so that
1t would permit them TO divide the busi-
ness on an equitable basis. With this
end in view committee was appointed
TO work the ropes and Messrs. Depew
and Roberts appeared before Congress.
Let the Law Come Around.
II was believed that after being caught
at such bold game the railroad presi-
dents really meant what they said
and would give the law a chance
TO adapt itself to their desires while
they waited. But no sooner was it
announced that the pool would be post
poned than they concluded that it would
be safe to go ahead on the quiet.
Il may now be officially announced
that the commissioner Of the Trunk
Line Association has divided up the west
bound traffic between New York and Chi
cago and 81 Louis, and his conclusions
have been accepted by the Executive Com
mittee Although all the roads are not
satisfied with the allotment no serious
complaints have been made, and they are
now working under the new pooling
arrangement
The allotment was based upon the
average tonnage carried by each line
during the past three years. They do NOT
differ much from the averages for the
past year up 20 November 10, which
were as follows;
New York Central, 237; Erie, 1914;
West Shore, s. 3; LacSawanna, 1914; Le-
high Valley, 9.l; Ontario aud Western,

Federal Building-stone-cutte Work

One hundred tons of iron floor girders
have arrived for the new Federal build

rived this morning from the Taconey
Iron Works, the owners of which have
the contract for all iron work on the new
building, and the work of laying the
heavy iron girders and beams in posi-
ton has begun.
In handling the heavy iron strips the
workmen's hands get so cold that they
have to swing their arms with great
vigor against their bodies while Jump.
ing up and down on the cold stone
foundation. Several days last week and
this the men suffered so from exposure
that work had to be stopped.
The stonecutters work under the long
shed constructed at the southern exten
sion of the property and suffer but little
from the cold AS fast as the stone is
received from the Brandywine Granite
Company the stonecutters Qwensy in
number) take charge of it. Each piece
is first squared off and then the side that
will be exposed to view is finished" by
expert cutters. Inc twenty manners
beating upon the propped-up granite
blocks, make weird succession of musi-
cal sounds and frequently all the notes
of the gamut can be heard.
The iron which has just arrived, to be
placed upon the finished foundations, is
/ but the first instalment of the 275 tons
/ which is to be used in the new building
The iron is similar to that used in the
construction of the new City Hall in
Philadelphia. It is exactly like tina,
used in the modern railroad bridges OF

The first floor iron work will be com

WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.-There appears
to be a disposition in the Senate ON the
part of the Republican members to do as
little as possible pending the change in
the administration and the possible
change in the organization of the Senate
itself. A leading Republican senator
said to-day that outside the appropriation
bills there would be little done.
eve are not supposed to ignore sani-
tary legislation and that matter will be
attended to as soon as possible, he con-
tinued. 1T would be folly for us to
pass any partisan measures for they
would not 60 through the House, and the
calendar would simply be numbered up

LONDON, Jan 5.-The Baroness de
Roques writes from Paris to the Central
News: 81 am Mortified to find a gross
libel in the st. James Gazette on Mrs.
Maybrick. 1 ask you to contradict
entirely on my authority this infamous
charge against a defenseless woman,
who is powerless to speak or even to
know what is said against her. 1t is
unworthy of the English. Every word
is false
"The libel in the st. James Gazette
attacks also my integrity. Our honor
is concerned and l trust that everyone
will sustain me.
81 make public appeal that an inde-
pendent and first-class physician be in
structed by the Home office to visit Mrs
Maybrick and report on her case.
The statement in the st. James Ga
zette to which the baroness alludes was
to the effect that Mrs Maybrick had
been swallowing needles in order to
cause an effusion of blood from the
stomach and thereby create the impress
sion that she was in the final stages of
consumption.
