TELEPHONE CONFESSIONS
Vatican Decides That This Rush
Habit Must Cease,
NesO York S,sss Special Servseo


New York, Dec. 25.-Some time ago the
ecclesiastical court OF Jurisdiction at Rome
was appealed to on the question whether It
would be considered sacramental and valid
to hear confessions by telephone. The decis-
ion was in the negative.
A decision has just been received from the
same source Of Archbishop Kane on the sub
ject Of asking for dispensations from can
onioal laws by cable and telegraph. In
American haste and hurry the custom has
been steadily growing of bishops sending
cable messages to Rome asking permission
to do this or that act which would be con-
trary to strict Interpretation of some eccles-
iastical law. The answer from Rome is that
this practice shall no longer obtain, and thaS
it is now specifically condemned.

Three Glasses.

Naturally there are thousands Of Ameri-
cans who are not familiar with our treaties
and only one out of dozen applicable has
been quoted-snd their support of a subsidy
on exports to promote American shipping can
be understood. 1t Is sincere and such advo-
cacy usually yields to a statement of the
facts. Of the three classes mentioned who
know the treaties, the first class does not
care for American ships and frankly says
so; the second is small, blatant and impotent.
The third class pays to the bill the tribute
which intellectual dishonesty has often paid
to public measure which admits of a fair
fight in the open. Our military argot has re-

ENOUGH MORPHINE
TO KILL AN ARMY.
Seventy.Fiv Pounds of the Sleep.
Producing Drug Displayed at
the Southern Hotel.

TIL largest display Of opium product ever
made in st. Louis, and possibly the largest
ever displayed at one time in the country.
was the morphine exhibit at the Southern
Hotel during the convention Of the Amer
lean Pharmaceutical Association last week.
The exhibit was composed of cubes rang
ing in size from the fraction OF an ounce
to five pounds each, the total weight being
s~eventy-five pounds.
The immensely of this exhibit may be bet
ter realized when 1t is known that the
value. at. wholesale. Of the seventy-five
drug, is 5000.
There was enough Of the drug there in
sight to give pipe dreams to every living
soul in Missouri, and 1t would put a million
people to sleep.
In medicinal doses 1t would provide enough
for the population Of st. Louis, New York
and Chicago combined. or it would furnish
sufficient supply-if equally distributed-to
fix 1.-THE habit upon tens Of thousands.
So powerful is the slightly p~oison-yet
wfthal useful drug when properly admin
istered-that the scope Of destructiveness
of such a vast. amount of It Is almost In
calculable.
Old chemists and pharmacists commented
upon the beauty OF the display. and spec
ulated upon the havoc. despair, disaster and
death It might cause the human family II
given into the handling of unschooled or
evil persons.
The exhibit attracted more attention than
any other made during the convention.
There was harmony and beauty in the de-
sign: there was the stored dream scent in
the atmosphere. and death lurked smilingly
behind 1t all.

Becker was playing in the rear of his home
at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon. There a
new sewer is being laid at a depth Of twen-
ty-two feet. About the excavation is a light
fence. Half way. down in the hole is a scat

While clambering about the fence at the

DISCARDED STREET
CARS NOT Wanted.
Page Avenue Property Owners OBJ
ject to Them for Dwelling
and Business Purposes.

Two street cars. which have been placed
on a lot at No. $500 Page avenue. are caus-
ing the householders and residents of the
| block a great deal Of worry. The presence
Of the cars Is not the real source of the
| worry, but the fact that they are to be
| used as a residence and place OF business
causes the trouble.
J.. Greig, a shoemaker. will occupy one of
the cars as a work shop, and the other
will be used by him as living quarters.
Greig Is a bachelor.
Mr.. Grelg formerly conducted a small shoe
shop in the rear Of the saloon on the north
west corner of Prairie and Page avenues.
Recently he was compelled to seek other
quarters. Having a good trade in the neigh
borhood. and not wishing to lose It,. he
began to look around for a desirable loca-
ton near by. James ]. McDermott of No.
1914 Page avenue learned of the old mans
plight. and offered him the use of the va
cant lot adjoining his own home. Greig
suggested hat he could purchase two old
cars from the Transit Company and utilize
them for a shop and living quarters cheap
er than a building could be erected. Nc
Dermott agreed to allow him 10 place ,ne
cars on his lot, and Saturday they were
moved there.
As soon as the cars were placed in posi-
tion there was trouble In the neighborhood.
Many OF those living on the block own
their own homes, and there are also a num-
Der of nice fats. the occupants of which do
not relish the idea Of having as one Of the
improvements" Of the street a couple of
discarded street cars. When they realized
that the cars were to be a fixture on the
street they protested to Mr.. McDermott.
but he laughed at them and said that the
new shoe shop would be a benefit to them.
They could not see 1t in that light.
Mr.. McDermott said yesterday: IT was
actuated merely by a spirit OF charity In
what did for Mr.. Greig. l was Interested
In the old man and offered him the use
OF one OF my vacant lots free. We had
several. conferences about the erection OF a
frame building on the lot suitable for his
purposes. and finally he decided that two
street cars would answer his purpose Just
as We'll as a building and be cheaper, and
! gave him Permission to place them on my
lot. That is all there is to It. I intend to
erect a frame front, SO that the shoe shop
