NEW YORK, July 20-Lillian Russell
sailed on the American Liner Paris, de-
spite injunctions and warnings of hos
tile lawyers to defer her departure. She
went on board at the very last moment
and when the gong was sounding for
the last time. Until she appeared there
was not an indication that she was GO
ing. None Of her small baggage was
aboard; not a flower nor fruit basket
was among the souvenirs Of that sort
| piled high and wide i'll the saloons of
her fellow voyagerS, and her state suite
was as bare as though it We're never to
be occupied.
When Lillian Russell came at last, all
| these things came also, as though the
same trap that admitted the prima
| donna brought also the proper settings
OF fruits and flowers Miss Russell
mounted the gangplang, accompanied
by her sister, Miss Hattie Leonard, and
her private secretary, Teddie Piper, who
| had few last words Of business with
her and then rushed ashore. She was
accompanied to the pier by her mother
Mrs. Cynthia Leonard, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Owen Westford, Mr.. and Mrs
Fred Ross and James NJ. Meade. Mrs.
Owen and Mrs. Ross are her sisters. 1t
was too late for them to 60 aboard.
Miss Russell said she was not the least
worried about the legal proceedings
brought by Canary & Lederer, and was
going to Europe under engagement to
Abbey Schoefel q Grau. She will ap-
pear i'll London at the Lyceum theatre.
Sept. 3, i'll a light opera, the Queen of
Brilliants. Attorneys for both sides say
that, all reports to the contrary notwith-
standing, it is not necessary for her to
appear i'll court at the hearing Of the in
junction proceedings, but that she can
be fully represented by counsel.
While the fair Lillian Russell was
sailing merTily down the bay her law
yers We're guarding her interests in the
supreme court Of Brooklyn. Miss Rus
sells fight with Canary q Lederer, her
managers, led to the application for an
order requiring Lillian to show cause
why she should not be enjoined per
manently from breaking her contract
with them. Ira Leo Bamberger APP
peared for Canary & Lederer, and a rep
resentative of Olin, Rives & Montgom-
cry was on hand to tell Justice Bartlett
that the Russell end of the case was not
prepared to go on. An adjournment
was taken until Monday next. In the
meantime Miss Russell is enjoined from
breaking her contract.
1t VIII Make the Catholics Prohibitionists.
Mgr. Satolli, the apostolic delegate,
has just rendered decision cOndemning
the liquor traffic. He approves of the
expulsion of liquor dealers from Catholic
societies. This remarkable decision was
called forth by an appeal from the ruling
OF Bishop Watterson Of Columbus, o.
During the last Lenten season Bishop
Watterson addressed a letter to the
clergy and laity Of his diocese, dealing
wholly with the temperance problem.
Bishop Watterson said:
II hereby withdraw my appreciation
from any and every Catholic society i'll
this diocese that has a liquor dealer or
saloonkeeper at its head, on anywhere
among its officers; and | suspend every
such society itself from the rank and
privileges as Catholic society until it
ceases to be so officered. No one who is
engaged, either as principal or agent, i'll
the manufacture or sale Of Intoxicating
liquors should be admitted to member
ship"
One Of the societies laid the matter
formally before Mgr Satolli To this
appeal the apostolic delegate has just
responded He sustains the position of
Bishop Watterson, and says:
The liquor traffic, and especially as con
Quoted here in the United States, is the
source of much evil, hence the bishop was
acting within his rights in seeking to re-
strict it. Therefore, the delegate apostolic
sustains Bishop Watterson's action,
and approves of his circular and regula-
tion concerning saloons and the expulsion
of saloonkeepers from membership III
Catholic societies.
Rev. Alexander P. Doyle, Of the Paul
ist Fathers, the general secretary Of the
ca 1holic Total Abstinence union of
America said that the declaration Of
the apostolic delegate is the most inn
portant ever pronounced by the church
in this country, and he thought its ef-
fects would be far reaching.
