CATHOLIC STUDENTS AROUSED.
Prof' Adams Statements Regarding
the Church Resenfed

NEW HAVEN, May 27-Prof George
b. Adams, professor of history at Yale
stirred M some of the Catholic young
men In his class at a recent recitation
when he made use of the following Ian
guage:
THE Catholic Church has two sets of
teachings. one for the ignorant and one
for the educated"
He was discussing religion at the time
He described the scapula worn by Cath
olics This, he said, is a double cloth pad
in the form of book, one-half of which
is worn on the back and the other on the
breast. "On this pad" remarked Prof
Adams. ARE representations of holy
images or pictures"
The professor said that the belief holds
among those who wear the scapula that
If one wears the scapula his soul when
he dies cannot go to hell, but will go to
purgatory Here" added Prof. Adams,
according to the Catholic belief, they
are to remain for a few days until the
Virgin Mary visits the place to release
them, and in consequence of the fact that
her visits are supposed to occur every
Saturday the stay of the wearer of the
scapula is short in purgatory.
He referred TO a boob which was en-
dorsed by Archbishop Hughes, OF New
York. and which explains the uses ana
powers of the scapula. Prof. Adams said
further that while the Catholic Church
repudiates this teaching, it at the same
time allows it, and, in that way fosters
its growth.
In this way" he concluded, the
Church has two teachings. For while
the educated Catholic may not believe this
teaching the uneducated man does. and
the Church in allowing this belief really
fosters it,
He stated as well that the Catholic
Church has not stood for advancement
and always opposed the Capitalization OF
power.
Prof. Adams when asked by reporter
for local paper If he was understood
Alright concerning his classroom utter
ances, refused to say yes or no. lie ex-
planned that his talk to his class he re-
garded as a family chat, the same as he
would have in his own household, and not
for the public. The professor express
ed the opinion that publication of state
ments regarding his lecture was alto
gether too sensationa' and had ten

CONDITIONS HARD TO FULFILL.

The Postof1ce Department has issued an
order denying the use of the mails to the
American News Clipping Company, OF
Chicago, III. The cOmpany's method OF
operating was extremely simple. and if
the weight OF mail that the Chicago post
Office has been called upon to return since

vocated fn France.

The state Department has received a re-
port from ]. c. Covert. United States Con-
sui at Lyons. in regard to the prevention
of frost by cannon and smoke. The re-
port says:
"A Bordeaux newspaper, which repre-
sents the wine growers of that region.
contains an article by Mr. Bellot des Mi
nieres on the subject Of preventing frosts
from iniuring early fruit. His theory Is
that Il is not the frost which blasts tho
budding fruit, but the suns rays follow
ing a night of frost. and finding in the
grape, already sensitive from the cold, an
object unable to Withstand their heat.

have always succeeded. Mr. Belief des
Minieres recommends the accumulation at
various points In the vineyard Of corztbus-
tible material, capable of producing
thick black smoke. and setting fire to these
heaps OF fuel at sunrise. so that veil
OF smoke may cover the entire ground.

the general temperature of the vineyard

fects of the frost. The smoke, which acts
as a warm blanket. lifts gradually enough

temperature.
''Dr. Maraneoni professor of physics at
the Royal Lyceum of Florence, Italy, has
declared his belief in the efficacy of the
use Of cannon for the prevention OF frosts.
He recommends that the cannon be fired
horizontally over the ground TO be pro-
tected. Under his direction cannon wers
fired horizontally over the vineyards OF
Count Bali, at Astf, and he relates that
strip of vineyard 500 feet wide over
which two cannon were fred was entirely
protected, while the vines on each side
were badly injured by frosts

SAMPSON NOT TO RETIRE.
He benies- the Report That His
Health Is Poor.

BOSTON, May 27.-Admiral Sampson
stated today, through his secretary, that
there is no foundation whatever for the
report that he is to request retirement on
account of his health The admirars secre-
tary added that the Washington despatch
containing the rumor was shown to the
admiral before 1t was printed he-e, and
that the admiral informed a representative
of the paper which printed 1t this morn
ing that there was no fOundatioc for the
run or.
Not since he came here had Admiral
Sampson been in such excellent health
as at present. Friends of the admiral
say that the retirement rumo:s probably
arose from the fact that he has been
looking at several suburban estates with
q view to purchasing one for home.
He has under consideration houses in
Winchester, Brookline. and Newton.
Under the regular service schedule Ad-
miIal Sampson will go on the retired list
next February
1t was reported at the Navy Depart
ment yesterday that Rear Admiral Samp-
son Will, within a few weeks, apply for
retirement owing to i'll health. He is

aud would not retire under the age limit
until January next. Navy Department
officials state that in case the application
is made 1t will be granted.
Rear Admiral Sampson has served near
ly thirty-six years in the navy, and, as
he has reached the highest grade in the
service now possible, he is entitled to be
retired on application.

JUDGE TAFT FOR GOVERNOR.
Said to BE Slated for TAal Position
in the Philippines,


Secretary Root is carefully going over
the report of the Taft Commission regard
ing the work done by that body. the ces-
sation of hostilities in the Philippines.
and the plans for a form of civil govern
ment to replace the present military re
gime. The document will not be made
public until the President has inspected it,
1t is known, however, that Judge Taft
is slated to be the first Governor Gen
eral of the Philippines. while General
Chaffee will succeed General Macarthur
as the commander of the military forces.
The report deals mainly, it is said, with
the organization Of central governing
body, Which will look after the provincial
and municipal governments.
The recommendations are made in re-
sponse to the instructions given the Com
mission to establish municipal and pro-
vincial governments throughout the Phil
ippine Archipelago, and when they con-
sidered that conditions warranted the in
auguration of a central government to
formulate a plan for consideration by the
President and Secretary Of War II is
certain that the new government to be
instituted contemplates the appointment
by the President of a civil governor who
will be assisted in the conduct of affairs
by an executive council. Having deter
mined upon this action the President has
decided to offer TO Judge Taft of the Phil
ippine Commission the first governorship
OF the Philippines.
Just when the new government win be
inaugurated is not positively determined
upon. Some months ago Judge Taft in
a report to the Secretary OF War. said
that the Commission thought the change
from military control 10 a civil govern
ment could be made as early as July l.
but more recent reports indicate that the
change may not be made until August /
Should the plan of government submitted
by the Commission meet with the an
proval OF the President and Secretary Of
War II may be inaugurated earlier. 1t
is expected, however, that some changes
will be made, and to avoid delay the pro-
posed changes will be cabled TO Manila In

1t is a common but erroneous idea that none but
