THE SYRIAN REPUBLIC
NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY
Declaration of Independence Looked
Upon Only as Symptom of
Unrest

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The manifes-
to declaring the independence of Syria, is
sued yesterday in New York by the Young
Syria Junta, is not taken seriously in Of
fetal quarters here except as an evidence
of the unrest which has prevailed among
Turkish subjects living abroad. includ-
ing the Syrians. Armenians and the Turks
themselves, who conduct a revolutionary
organization known as Young Turks.
The reports from United States officers
in Syria and from United States Minister
Straus at Constantinople have shown no
recent uprising or discomfort in Syria
The Turkish Minister, All Ferroupbey,
said to-day the manifesto was entirely
without Importance and did not represent
a sentiment prevailing among the Syrians
in this country or at home. Only recent
ly the Minister was given handsome re-
ception in New York by the resident Sy-
rians during which the most cordial man
ifestations were shown him and this is
said to be the sentiment among the seri-
Gus and responsible element of this peo-
pie. The only opposition element, the
Minister points out. is made up of a few
men interested in publishing Arabic pa
pers in New York and other parts of the
country. but these, he says. in no way
voice the sentiments of the Syrians.

ACUIRRE IS
NOT YET IN
HALE'S PLACE

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, May 12.-
When the Board of State Prison Di-
rectors met in regular monthly session
to-day it was confidently predicted that
the sun would rise tomorrow morning
and cast it's beams on the head of new
Warden. The wiseacres were sure of
this because somebody had said Gov
ernor Gage was to be present at the
meeting by his booted and august per-
sonality. Gage was at the meeting, and
so was ex-Sheriff Martin G. Aguirre,
but W. r. Hale retains the wardenship.
The Governor arrived. in company
with Aguirre and Attorney Chretien,
on the noon train, and together with
the Directors, dined with the Warden.
AfterWard the party was escorted
throughout the prison and initiated into
the mysteries of the jute mill. Several
prisoners from the south were recog
nized by Gage. who shook hands with
them and in two instances stepped
away from the party to hold private
conferences with convicts. One, Cap
tain James, who is serving three years
for having sent obscene literature
through the mails, was made the espe-
cial recipient of Cages favors, and af-
ter the hearing of a private grievance
Warden Hale was beckoned to join
the two.
The board went into executive ses-
sion at 2 o'clock, and was closeted with
the Governor for nearly three hours.
1t was afterward announced that
Aguirre had not been elected Warden,
for very good reasons.
Mr.. Aguirre will be appointed War
den at the meeting to be held at Fol-
som a week from tomorrow, or at a
special meeting a few days later" said
Director Hayes. AT this session he
was simply introduced to US by the
Governor, who spoke highly of his
qualifications and said it was his de-
sire to see him elected. Mr.. Aguirre
has proved a pleasing candidate TO the
board. and will be the next Warden un-
less something unforeseen occurs.
The Governor, with Aguirre, Chretien
and several others, was taken to San
Francisco on the stern wheeler Caro-
line as soon as the meeting adjourned.
All appeared in good humor, and both
Gage and his protege wore smiles of
satisfaction.
At the morning session Warden Hale
read his report on the punishment he
thought merited the nine conspirators
who tried to escape from the prison.
1t was adopted in the afternoon, when
Director Devlin arrived, making full
board
George w. Schlegal, George Bullock.
Edward Morrell and H. W. Cooper were
termed ringleaders, and in addition to
the punishment which they have al
ready received, the first three, being
''lifers,' are to be confined in the soli
tary cells in the front cell building un-
til the incorrgible cells are completed.
They will then be confined in the incor-
rigible cells and forced to do hard la
Dor in the manufacture of grainbags
by hand at the discretion of the War
den. Cooper will lose all his credits,
besides receiving the same punishment
as the other ringleaders. 81 Loverin,
H M. Shaw and James Roup will be
confined in the incorrigible department
at the discretion of the Warden. Alton

POTTER SAYS
BRIGGS WILL
Be ORDAINED

NEW YORK, May 12-Bishop Potter
gave out the following formal notice
to-day:
THE Rev. DR.. Briggs and the Rev
Charles H. Snedecker will be ordained
on the day officially appointed by the
Bishop of New York, May IA, at the

York. at 10:45 a. m The Rev. George
William Douglass will preach the ordi-
Smith will present Dr. Briggs and the
Rev. George Francis Nelson will pre-
sent Mr.. Snedecker."
Bishop Potter chose the cathedral
for the place because DIR. Briggs had
asked to be assigned to work there and
will work there in future.
The Churchman of this week says:
The sensational stories that have ap-
peared in the daily press with regard to
the ordination of DR.. Briggs suggested the
necessity of giving to our readers certain
Information that may help them to
right judgment in the premises.
Rev. DR.. Briggs was ordained to the
diaconate last year, having met all
canCnical regulations, and after having
been recommended by standing COM
mittee, composed of the Revs Morgan
Dix. Thomas r. Harris, Octavus Apple
gate and j. S. Shipman and Messrs
stephen P. Nash, G. A. Miller, S. Nichol-
son Kane and Herman C. Van Post. He
has met all the requirements for advance
ment TO the priesthood and has been rec
commended again by this same committee,
with only one change in its composition
Many persons have been disturbed by
passages quoted in the daily papers from
state that most of these passages appear

CATHOLIC CITIZENS OF
THE UNITED STATES
Monsignor Martinelli on the Attitude
of the Church Regarding Re
publican Governments.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. May 12.-Monsig-
nor Martineln tonight gave out the fol-
lowing interview:
am delighted with the news and the evi-
dence that our Catholic citizens are among
the most ardent supporters OF the American
Government. In some quarters there is an er-
roneous impression that the papal church is
opposed TO a republican form Of government.
II Is not necessary 10 leave the Western hem
isphere to prove the untruth OF this assertion
Most Of the countries in South America are
republics and in all of them a vast majority
of the citizens are Catholics.
In the matter OF education. / think science,
religion and knowledge should go hand in hand.
Revealed religion especially should have a
place in the schools. In the matter of moral
ity America ranks with the foremost nations
of the world Concerning the growth of the
Catholic religion in America can say IT is
making a greater number Of converts now than
at any previous time. especially among the
higher classes.
The Popes attitude toward the question Of
the war has been emphasized in no doubtful
way He is emphatcally for peace. He is
willing 10 arbitrate in the settlement OF any
differences when his services are requested; ;
when they not. he indirectly uses his In
fuence as best he can.
am delighted that the Catholic institutions
Of America are keeping abreast of the times
The church has always been a patron OF art
and science. Concerning Notre Dame, have
seen nothing like II among the colleges have
visited in this country
