FOR ELEVATION TO CARDINAL.
Archbishop Chapelle's Name BrOuEt
Before Vatican Authorities.

Archbishop Chapelle's Name Brought
Before Vatican Authorities.
The name Of Archbishop Chapelle of New
Orleans has been brought to the attention
Of the Vatican authorities and to the pope
in person for elevation to the rank Of car
dinal because Of his service as papal legate
for the Philippines and West Indies. 1t is
believed that this may enter to some ex-
tent into the consideration Of affairs now
going on at Rome owing to the presence
of Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Cha
pelle.
The latter has had most to do with in
sular affairs. including the questions re-
lating to the friars, and he has acted d.
rectly under the Vatican, without consulta-
ton with the American hierarchy: 1t is
his work in that connection that has led
to the suggestion Of his elevation to the
cardinalate.
Archbishop Chapelle Is Of French origin,
and it is believed that his elevation would
be looked upon with favor by the French
authorities. He has, however, spent so
many years in the service of the American
church that he Is regarded as an American.
felt that the church authority over the
Philippines. Cuba and Porto Rico should
come under the American hierarchy rather
than under papal legate, as. 1t Is claimed,
the American church is better able to CO.
operate with the United States government
in directing insular affairs.
1t is understood that this question also
has been brought to the attention of the
Vatican authorities during the visit Of Car
dinal Gibbons and Archbishop ChapeIe to
Rome.
Those familiar with what has been done
In behalf of Archbishop Chapelle's eleva-
ton say that If he became cardinal he
would not necessarily relinquish the direc-
ton of insular affairs, but would be given
added dignity for the conduct of such af-
fairs, and might in that connection become

THE PRICE OF COAL.
Aggregate Raise of 90 Cents Per ToI
for Anthracite.

There is little doubt but that a substan-
tial raise will be made in the price Of hard
coal by the retail dealers of Washington
before the fall trade sets in. The whole
sale price has been raised 10 cents ton
every month since and Including April. and
there are indications that this rate Of ad-
vance will be kept up until September.
making total raise Of 60 cents ton in
the wholesale price.
A prominent retail dealer said to a Star
reporter this morning that while there had
not as yet been any agreement between
the retail dealers regarding an advance in
price to the consumer, that the action of
the wholesalers, If kept up, would make an
advance necessary. THE retail dealers
will bear the advance as long as possible,
he continued, but there Is no telling when
the wholesale dealers will cease raising the
price. If it goes much higher the con-
sumner Will be called upon to bear a share
Of the raise"
The wholesale dealers have taken similar
action in Baltimore, and according to news
paper accounts the retail dealers have
agreed there to raise the price 25 cents a
ton the LIST Of July and % cents more the
LIST of September. That any such under
standing has been reached here is denied
by retailers, who say that no plan has as
yet been contemplated. The price of coal
here is somewhat higher than 1t Is in Bal
timore and Is so cents a ten higher now
than it was last year at this time. the No
vember raise of that amount having been
maintained since that time

WILLIE ANDERSON CHAMPION.
Wins In the Open Golf Tournament q,
Hamilton.

Hamilton.
HAMILTON, Mass, June 17.-Willie An
derson OF Pittsfeld. Mass, won the open
golf championship Of the United States, 49,
hole play out on the Myopia course, here
this morning, playing against Alec Smith
Of Scotland. Anderson beat Smith one
stroke in the IS holes, the totals being IS
to sc.
The match was very exciting. except at
the middle holes, when Smith had a lead
of strokes. Anderson's recovery was re-
markabie. but he did not catch his man
until the very last green, when he ran
down beautiful f1ve-foot putt for 4, while
Smith missed a three-foot putt which would
have tied the score. He took six, losing by
one stroke.
Anderson started off by trying to gobble
the first hole in 3, and when 1t took him
five he lost some of his nerve.
The three first holes were halved, but on
the fourth Smith, by fine second shot,
made it in to Anderson's 8. Smith gained
another on the seventh through bad putt
ninth in the same way.
Smith increased his lead at the tenth by
another stroke and at the thirteenth he
gained one more. At this point Anderson
began to play desperately, and through a
falling of in Smiths form the Pittsfeld
man cut his opponents lead down three
strokes. Anderson gained another on the
sixteenth and still one more on the home
green.

Travesty.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
AS to the time lost in the regular way Of
paying the grave copiers of copies Of
forms, 1t is a fact that fully $50 clerks in
the Union building. on G. street. have been
paid within hour. This gives about ten
seconds as consumed by each clerk as he
hands in his slip and receives his pay in
rapid sequence. Possibly it goes unnoticed
that many clerks spend ten times ten sec
onds each day in taking full Inspirations
to counteract the effect of the Astounding
malodorous air. Performing service un-
der such humiliating rules gives color to
the conviction that the moral surroundings
would be fifty described by placing over
the office door the warning notice: All Ye
Who Enter Here Must Leave Manhood
Behind.
1t is a widely known fact that many Of
the division and section chiefs, with many
OF their friends or the friends of the dis
bursting force had no trouble in getting
their pay during office hours. 1t would
probably be most unreasonable to expect
such absurd rule to be uniformly en-
forced; but the wide berth given the ex-
ceptional cases Is enough to engulf the
rule 1t Is a snapshot travesty on any
variety of official sanity. If so intended. it
certainly deserves the distinction Of being
successful effort to make the persons
within it's scope of practice realize their
subdegree of official serfdom. And then,
this above all. What legal authority is
there for the paying of civil officers SAL
aries after office hours? If the disbursng
clerks do not bring the clerks salaries to
them. is 1t not part of such clerks official
duty to go after their pay? And must not
all official duty be performed during office
| hours? Would it be any more unreason-
able for Congress to pay the census clerks
for the extra time spent in collecting (ft
term) their salaries after office hours than
1t was for the national legislature to pay
the letter carriers over the Union about
three million dollars for work done outside
of regular Office hours?"
The probable tendency of the census
| clerks to ponder on their newly evidenced
degree of unrighted slavery should be
neutralized and the proud mans con-
tumely ignored by realizing that truly
'pigmies are pigmies still. though perched
| on Alps, and pyramids are pyramids in
wales. A SYMPATHIZER
