DAWSON OBJECTED.
Mr.. Dawson, when this affidavit was
offered in evidence. objected to it's ad-
mission and after extended argument
on the part of Mr.. Dawson and Mr..
Jones, court excluded it and directed
a verdict of not guilty.
1t was ruled By the court that Pet
rust could not be held for perjury for
the reason that a person can be corr
Victed of swearing falsely to an at'i-
davit only when such affidavit is re-
quired by an act of assembly. There
is no act Of assem- bly, which makes it
necessary to have an AFFIDAVIT to Sc
cure requistion papers. 1t is merely
a rule of the secretary of the Com
mOnwealth's department at Harris

go his way.

the O. A. R. as an organization, Will not
be represented. J. F. Kay, commaIoer
of the New York department OF the
G. A. R.. sent a letter to Gen. Roe, de-
clining the invitation Tor NUMBER u
reascns Some of these were that the "
A. r. had been placed at the emo OIL
the parade, instead of at the head; thac
Cen. Roe had taken no cognlZance OF
Albert D. Shaw, commandments OF
fhe organization, and had sent him no
invitations to any of the functions that
the Invitations TO the G.. A. z. to parade
had been extended at second-hahu
through H H. Adams, and that Cen y:
O. Howard has been placed IN command
Of the G. A r. forces on the day OF
the parade, contrary to regulations OF
tha- order
The decision to decline the invltatlon
was reached at a meeting held this after
neon Commando Chief 4. D. Shaw,
Department Commander Kay, Past De
nartment Commander Atkinson and Col.
A T. Golden, chairman OF the memorial
committee of the G. A. r. being present.
This action had been contemplated for
some time, and the entire matter hao
been placed before Gen. Roe, VINO re-
fused to reconsider his plans. Com
mander-in-Chief Shaw insisted that the
q A. r. organization should have the
head of the line of march, and should be
under command of its own officers. he
notnted out that Gen. Howard, who mad
boon designated to command the forces,
has no authority to call out the posts
and that they could not respond to ms
cali even if they so willed. The officials
of the G. A. r. consulted with Mayor
Van Wyck recently, and ne expressed ms
annroyal of the change they demanded
They referred the matter also to GOV
roosevelt. and received telegram from
tha governor stating that he was in favor
of the change. and stating that 1t should
he made as it would be one of the most
desirable testimonials of the country to-
wards Admiral Dewey, member OF the
G. A. R., If he were escorted by guard
of honor composed of comrades.
Chief among the reasons OF Gen. zoe III
his final answer regarding the disposition
of the G. A. r. in the parade, was that
the parade would be essentially military
one. and. according to regulations, pody
of men. like the G. A. R., cannot march
before a body of men bearing arms, The
g. A. R. officials, however, claim that the
narade is in no sense a military one, but
a city one.

Union of Catholic Young Mems Societies,
in session at Newark today, adopted

Whereas, for some time past many

stripped of sacred vessels and vestments
by soldiers of the United States;
Resolved, that we, the Catholic
Young Mems National union, embracing
$4,000 members in the United States, do
call upon the president of the United

fairmindedness, justice and respect for
all religions, and through him upon the
other proper authorities for a thorough
investigation and report upon such ru-
mors as to their truth or falsity; and,
"Reslved, that If upon proper investi-
true, in whole or in part, we demand,
''First, the punishment of those guilty
or responsible for such outrages upon
our religion, and.
Second, that the necessary measures
be adopted to prevent the recurrence Of
such dissertations.
Resolved, that a copy of these resolu-
tions, duly authenticated by the presi-
dent and secretary of this convention, be
forwarded to the president of the United
States"
