accepted as such. The Republican members
made the point early in the proceedings
that talk was of comparatively little value
as long as there was no legislative propo-
sition before them. The force of this sug-
gestion was admitted by the Democratic
members, but they explained that they had
considered 1t as waste of time to formu-
late bill until there should some COM

members, and an intimation on the part
side as to what they would agree to. To
this II was replied that the Republicans
felt that the responsibility did not rest
with them, but with the majority party.
The committee was informed during the
meeting that Senator Vest had bill in
contemplation, and there was positive
promise that it would be completed in
time to permit its being printed for the
use of the committee Saturday. It is un-

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Capt. Max Schmitt-
berger. whose confessions was one OF the
sensations of the Lexow committees ses-
sions in this city last month has been be-
fore the grand jury the last two days His
counsel, William F. Howe. is quoted as
saying: "Schmttberger is telling the grand
jury all he knows. That means far more
than he told Senator Lexow and his asso-
ciateS. 1t is needless to say that his evil
dence is most important. His talking with
such entire freedom now is a result of an
agreement reached between him and Mr..
LexoW. The Senator protected him on con-
dition that he told all. That is what he is
row doing. Just who his new testimony
duplicates, i cannot say" The under
standing is that the captains statement
duplicates many captains and even higher
officers, whose names he has hitherto not

Archbishop Elder Gives Reasons for
the Anti-Secret Society Edict.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 10.-Archbishop Elder
to-day promulgated the order against Odd
Fellows, knights of Pythias and Sons of
Temperance and accompanied the text of
the order with a statement of reasons why
good Catholics should obey. The fact that
the reasons for the order are not under
stood, he says, is no excuse for disobedience
any more than 1T is for violation of civil
law when the reason of the enactment is
not understood Just the State must en-
force its laws for the preservation of order
so must the church enforce such rules as
are essential for the welfare of souls He
went on, however, to state some of the
reasons in this case. One was that to be-
long to these orders made Catholics more
tolerant of Free Masonry, which has long
been declared inimical TO the church An
other was that in the case of the knights
of PythiaS pagan is selected to be treated
as a saint.
