Is the Catholic Church to Be Amcrl-
cant

Is the Catholic Church to Be Amerl-
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
A good deal Of space has been taken up
in the daily press of late as to the differ
ences existing in the faculty Of the Catholic
University in this city.
1t appears that there are two antag-
onistic parties-one denominated the Ger
man party, led by Mgr. Schroeder, and the
other, the American party, of which
Bishop keane was the head. 1t further ap-
pears that the German party, with the as
sistance of Cardinal Satolli, have had
Bishop Keane removed, and the removal of
other officers. who are Americans, is ex-
pected.
Now, 1t would be interesting to know
and it seems pertinent to inquire, Is the
Catholic University to be run as a foreign
institution? And are Americans expected
to furnish the money to run it?
The university was prospecting and all
was harmony up to the time that Mgr. Sa-
TOLL was sent here to oversee the Catholic
Church in America. He could not speak
the English language, nor was he acquaint-
ed with American institutions, and yet he
seems to have been invested with powers
larger than those of Cardinal Gibbons.
Bishop Keane did more than any other
person to make the university acceptable
to Americans and success, but for
eigner to everything American Is sent here,
ard on his report Bishop Keane is sum-
marily deposed. and the man who caused
his deposition, and who came here appar-
emily with plenary power over the Catholic
Church, leaves the country cardinal, and
another Italian succeeds to carry on the
good work inaugurated by Satolli.
In the daily papers we have the informa
ticn from Rome that Bishop Keane and
Archbishop Ireland are accused of heresy.
This charge is made and is presumably
true, for one Is already silenced.
In view Of these facts is it improper to
INQUIRE what Is to be the course of the
Catholic Church in this country in the fu-
ture? Is it to be American in its teaching
and polity, or is it to be Italian and reac-
tionary? Is it to live in the present or in
the past? j. b. BLOSS, Jr.

TWO LAWYERS SURPRISED.
They Arc Severely Censured for
Having a Scrap in Court.

BALTIMORE. MD, January lex
Congressman Henry Stockbridge and
Thomas Mackall the lawyers who passed
the lie and had a tussle IN the court
room OF the City Court last Tuesday.
while the court was in session, were be-
fore Judge Phelps to-day to answer the
charge OF contempt of court Both men
made statements and humbly begged
the pardon of the Court, expecting TO
get of with a lecture and a lgh fine.
Judge Phelps, however. gave the Offend
ing lawyers an unmerciful arraignment
He said their conduct was a breach Of
decorum that was almost objectionable.
'The standing Of the city bar Is in
volved," he said. IF an ordinary citizen
committed such a breach he would be
speedily fined and imprisoned. The adj
ministratlon of justice becomes con-
temptible when allowed TO discriminate.
Justice must be absolutely impartial, and
innexible. This case Is "a extremely seri-
GUS that II warrants an investigation,
and cannot be leniently dealt with; The
encounter was more than an indignity TO
the court. 1t was a breach Of the peace
OF the city. and Is to be characterized
by the name 'disorderly conduct.
In conclusion. Judge Phelps said the
Supreme Bench had already taken the
case out OF his hands by passing an
order requiring the two lawyers TO show
cause on or before January 18th Why
they should not be disbsrred.
Having already admitted their guilt,
the surprised lawyers Will now have 20
plead extenuating circumstances. and
throw themselves upon the mercy OF the
Supreme Bench.
