PEACE IN ST. LOUIS.
Sheriff'S Entire Posse Comitatus
Has Been Discharged.

st. Louis. No, June 27.-Except for
the boycott and 800 extra policemen on
duty, but little remains to tell OF the
great strike on the St Louis Transit
company's system inaugurated May 8.
Cars are in operation on all the lines
without hindrance, and are we'll patron
lied, except on those running north and
south. Many thousand persons, because
of the boycott and through sympathy
for the strikers, patronize wagons and
buses manned by ex-street railway en-
plOyes This is especially true in the
north and south sections OF the city
Today the remainder of the force Of
Sheriff Pohlman's posse comitatus
about 800 men, was mustered out of SER
vice for good, the board of police COM
missioners deciding they were no long
er needed. It was at first intended that
all but 1000 men should be discharged,
half of which would be retained for ac-
tive service, the whole number to be
called for duty on July 4, to suppress
any trouble that might occur then.
President Edward Whitaker, of the
ST Louis Transit company, states that
he knows nothing of a report that three
disinterested citizens had submitted to
an officer of the company a proposed
plan of settlement of the street car
strike, and that the co@nittee had been
told to go to the strikers and first get
their approval.
At the strikers headquarters no prop
osition looking to a possible strike set

AFTER 20 YEARS
st. Johns Novitiate, Maryland, Is to
Be Transferred to New York.

Washington, June 27.-One of the
greatest changes that has even occurred
in the Jesuit province Of Maryland, will
take place at an early date, by order
of the superior general of that commun-
ity. After an existence of 20 years the
famous st. Johns novitiate at Freder-
lex. Nd, is about to be moved to a 10
cation on the Hudson river. above West
Point. where property Of considerable
value has been acquired.
The old nOvitiate was founded by
Father John McEirOy, 8. J., who re-
eeived ordination as a priest from
Archbishop Nea1e, of Baltimore, in 1916.
and died at Frederick in 1873. Many Gel
ebrites are buried in it's shadow, among
them the third chief justice of the Uni
ted States, Roger Brooke fancy, and
the Jesuit Missionaries Villiger, Tuffer
Senders and Vigilante. In the trans
feral to New York, these graves will not
be disturbed. Father Edward Purbry
is now provincial of the Jesuits in this
province which originally covered the
country, but at present embraces only
the southern, middle and New England
states. The province was founded in
1854. He resides at St Francis Xaviers
college, New York city, though the resi-
dence Of nearly all his predecessors was
in Baltimore.
