GEN. FUNSTON On WARPATH
BE WILL SUE ARCHBISHOP IRE

Indignant at Stories Circulated That
He Desecrated Catholic Churches

General Frederick Funston. who is en-
Twentieth Kansas regiment. has wired
his Topeka attorneys. Gleed, Ware "
Gleed, to bring proceedings against
Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul for
criminal libel because of statements at
tributed to the archbishop in a recent
interview.
General Funston also instructed his
lawyers to begin criminal and civil
prosecutions against the Monitor, a
Catholic paper of San Francisco. which
first printed the story.
In recent interview in Chicago,
Archbishop Ireland was quoted as say
ing that General Funston had been
charged with looting Catholic churches
in the Philippines. The charges al
legged to have been referred TO by the
archbishop were made by the editor of
the Monitor soon after the landing OF
the Kansas troops in San Francisco.
The Monitor stated, it is said. that
General Funston had taken two. mag
nificent chalices from a certain Catho-
lie church in the Philippines. and had
sent them home to his wife. Arch
bishop Ireland. in his Chicago inter
views. was quoted as calling upon Cen
eral Funston to deny the truth of the
article and sue the editor of the Moni-
tor for libel or the public would be
obliged. against its will. TO believe him
guilty of the criminal acts of which
he had been accused.
General Funston is highly indignant
at the accusation, and says he will
prosecute the matter vigorously. He
intends, he says, to put stop forever
to the malicious stories put in circula-
ton regarding him.
General Funston says that he not
only refrained from desecrating houses
of worship in Manila. but that while
colonel of the Kansas regiment issued a
positive order prohibiting the looting or
mutilation of church buildings. He
supplemented this with verbal instruc-
ton to his company commanders to see
that the order was rigidly enforced.

sition he would have retraced his steps

Apart from General Whites state
ment that the losses are very numer-
Gus, there is nothing to indicate the
extent of them except a vague report
that the soldier who brought the news
to Ladysmith said the British dead and

hundreds needed doctors. This, how
ever. is hardly borne out by the long
list of captured officers.
The concluding sentence of General
Whites dispatch relative to the safety
of Ladysmith was receE1ed here with a
certain reserve, in view os the fact that
similar official assurances were given
recently at Dundee and Glencoe, and
there is intense anxiety for news OF
