MAYOR FAV0RS
A CONFERENCE
Looking TO the Relief Of Whining
tonians From the Coal
Famine.
SITUATION IS UNCHANGED
Snow Stolm, Dealers say, Would
Add an Uncomfortable Con-
dltion to Present Sit
uation.

Mayor Fisher this morning an.
rounced his willingness TO met
representatives OF tho city govern
ment IN con'ercnc. lookug To tho
relief OF WiIlniuglo ton In the coal fam .
Inc which now ConlrOnts the city.
The proposition may assume more
deilnite shape in Il few days ana il
properly conducted will have the
effect Of bringing into the city such
all amountiot coal as, toyiv= the peo .
pie o! the city some hope for warm
homes the coming winter.
A representative OF the George
W. Bush T. Sons Company told "a
representative OF The DAILY RE.
PUBLICAN this morning that the To-
cal Goa situation remains uu.
changed; that is, that no coal Tor
Whining ton is in sight yet. This
gloomy outlook IS not at all comfort
ing TO those people Of the city who
have no coal in their cellars and who
are willing to pay almost any price
for the precious anthracite. The
TACT that the dealers cannot promise
when any coal will be here makes
The situation all the more serious
With the slight abatement of
mldw'ntcr weather Yesterday the
critical condition was temporarily
miIig led SO lar as the present sui
ferlng OF the public was concerned.
With the demand now thousands of
tons in advance OF the visible supply,
which may be decreased at any time,
the large dealers fear an approaching
panic more than at any time since the
Strike OF after mining had been re.
sumed, A snowstorm. they say, would
add an uncomfortable condition,
which would interfere with the daily
coal shl pn.ent and its delivery in the
city. In the present crisis. when coal
is being delivered in ton and half
ton quantities to persons who have no
stock on hand, the matter Of delivery
Is all important, and snowstorm
sufficient to block traffic would cause
untold suffering and an enormous in
crease in the existing pinch.

CAN MAN
FORGIVE SIN
Rev. Xavier Sutton Delivers
Another Lecture at st. Pet
er'S PrO-Cathedral.

After answering questions lo
half an hour last night, Father Ma
vier Sutton began his lecture on
| "C0nfcsslon, or can man forgive
| sinst' ST. Peters Pro- Cathedra
was crowded to the doors and al
those present seemed to take tht
greatest interest ia the sermon.
The questions submitted came from
people of all denominations. One
was whether a saloon keeper could
be Christian. The speaker an
swered that saloon keepcr, if he
were baptlsed, was a Christian, but
that rum seller has very din.
cult job before HIM to reach heaven.
lie thought it would be better if the
rum traffic. il there had to he sucl,
a traffic, was 10 the hands of the
best Christians and controlled BY
them.
Another question WAS whether
the priest or any Catholic over
reached such a state Of perfection,
that Le did not have to go to con
fession. The orator replied that 80
long as a man had committed sin
he would have to go to confession al d
that no man was free from sin.
Another question was whether ath-
Ollcs kissed the Popes toe. This
caused laughter. The priest said
that Catholics kissed. the cross on
the slipper of the Pope, as that
was papal etiquet.
At the outset FatIe Sutton ask
ed his hearers to set asi,le all pre-
conceived idei.s on the subject of
confession and cordially and fairly
to follow his argument. He then
told his hearers what the sacra-
mont of penance still hollis and
showed how every religious body in
the world upho!ds it.
The priest said that Protestants
would have the world believe that
confession was Il man-made instltu-
ton. He then examined history to
learn if this was true Father SUIT
ton then produced a work printed
in Oxford which was the King James
or Protestant Bible. From tho book
of Numbers he read from the Mo,a-
ic law the command that sinners
confess their wrongdoiag Then
from st. Matthew he read the mar
rative of the commission of Christ
to bis apostles, when He used the
words, AS the Father hath sent me
even SO send l YOU" aud in this
connection the lecturer pointed out
the fact that Christ had himself
said that He cams into the world
to forgive sins and had done SO.
The speaker produced ST. Johns
sospelI also to support his argument.
Father SuttOn denounced the popu.
lar Protestant ignorance to the effect
that charges are made for abSO,ut,on
and lhat priests make use Of the
confession to gain hold over the
people.
The lecture tonight will be 'Quo
Nad:s. -
Tue priest will discuss also Catho-
lies and education.
