to a personal friend In Washington that

STEERING the feasibility of converting gen.
eral council Of the American prelates at
Baltimore The bishop states that in one
of his interviews with the cardinal-prefect
of the propaganda that dignitary empha-
sized the need of a plenary council at no
distant day. as nearly sixteen years have
elapsed since the last convention was held
bishops in recent years have been accus-
toned to meet at least once annually In
Washington for brief period of inter-
course there has been no general meeting
of the seventy odd prelates who govern the
suffragan sees, many of whom never have
met one another. Before the pope orders a
plenary council. however. there is always
preliminary action by the members of the

bishop of Baltimore for its convocatfon.
This has been the procedure in the past.
An interesting point in connection with this
subject is WIether Cardinal Gibbons or
Archbishop Iartinelli will be presiding Off

sUPERINTENDENT POWELL.
Petition Asking for His Removal TEc~
ing Circulated.

The recent disclosures regarding the put
lie schools in this city are arousing very
strong feeling among all classes of citi-
zens. and just at present some of this feel
Ing seems to be directed against the super
intendent of the public schools himself. A
petition is being circulated around the city
today which, it is said, will be presented to
the Commissioners tomorrow. asking for
the removal of Mr.. Powell Immediately.
The petition states that action should be
taken so that the national capital shall en-
phatically put the stamp of disapproval
upon that pcrnicious system introduced
into our schools known nature studies
and to repel the insult to American citizen
ship by the infamous and impertinent ques-
tioEs propounded to the school children.
The leaders in this movement say that
their object is to prevent the introduction
in other cities of this system of education
on the ground that it is used at the ma
tional capital.
