Three Days Meeting of American
Federation of Catholic SoCie-
ties Adjourned to Meet Next
Year in Chicago
CHOICE OF OFFICERS
MADE IN THE MORNING

officers Thanked

Cincinnati, Dec. 1.-THE American
Federation OF Catholic Societies, after
a session of three days, adjourned this
afternoon to meet in Chicago July 10,
1902.
After the adoption lastn light of the
new constitution and the election of
officers this morning, the last day was
mostly devoted to the forming of plans
for work. The committees met after
the adjournment of the convention and
the executive board continued in ses-
ssion tonight.
T The convention closed amid scenes
of jollifcation over the completion of a
general organization of the Catholic lai-
ty which has been in progress the past
year. While many distinguished pre-
lates have not only endorsed but have
co-1perated in starting the federation,
there seems to be an unwritten lew that
the organization is not to be connected
with the hierarchy or with politics. All
of the officers and members of the
committees are laymen. The only ex-
ception is that of the spiritual adviser,
and all Catholic organizations make
this exception, even the amateur liter
airy societies.
1t is said that the changes in the
national officers was largely due to the
OPPOSITION to all having political asplra-
tons Judge Thomas w. Fitzgerald OF
Brooklyn, one of the first Vice-presi-
dents and ex-senator John Coyle of
Philadelphia, the chairman of the ex-
ecutive board, John O'Rourke of Phila-
delphia the first secretary and other
original promoters were dropped from
official positions in the Federation.
While oU of the retiring officers were
thanked in resolutions of praise, the
action regarding ex-President II. j.
Fries was especially striking. 1t was
followed by long demonstration of
applause. Fries was elected treasurer
without opposition and he was the only
one of the new officers elected by ac-
clamation.
In framing the constitution some
trouble was experienced with those
representing other than English
| speaking societies. The Irish and
among the officers. Gabriel Francher7
of Chicago was elected on the ex-
ecutive board as a representative
| Frenchman, and other nationalities
were represented on the committees.
