None Of these reports charge fraud. but
they contain suggestions looking to a
change of system which now depends too
much upon the integrity of individuals.
The reports point out some ire gulari-
ties in pay rolls. contracts and recount
ing for public properties. and makes ref
erences to prices paid for supplies which
are deemed too high. In some cases the
clerical force aboard transports was too
large

BANQUET OF ALUMNI
OF GONZAGA COLLEGE
Sixth Annual Event a Most
Auspicious Occasion.
Rev Father E. x. Fink Responds to the
Toast "The Relationship of Edu-
cation to Religion"

The relationship OF education to re
| ligion. as embodied in the principles o
the Roman Catholic Church. was las
night discussed by Rev. Father E. X
Fink. president OF Gonzaga College, a
the sixth annual banquet of the alumni
at the Shoreham.
Prominent Catholics, including the Rt
Rev. Thomas J. Conaty, Titular Bishop
of Samos. and Monsignor F. u. Rocker
Secretary of the Papal Legation, and JUS
tice Clabaugh, of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia, delivered ad-
dresses in honor of the event.
Daniel OC. Callaghan presided and
acted as toastmastcr in the absence of DR..
Lloyd Magruder, president of the alumni
association.
Response by Father Fink.
Father Fink was first introduced. He
said in part;
"Gonzaga ranks as one of the oldest,
and when we write the history of Wash
ington we will write the history of this
college. for it's life is connected with that
of the National Capital. Then, in the
early days. its students numbered about
450; now nearly 5000. If the future is to
be forever for God then the education of
the children must be in the hands of re-
ligion
We have as a product of the eig1-
teenth century education without religion.
and the eighteenth century left it her
itage to the nineteenth. But a reaction
is taking place, and people are learning
that religion must be the basis of educa-
tion. Some countries have driven it out
of the schools. and in this country the
vast number of sects has had its intlu
ence. Let us. who have had religion with
education. go forth and work for this. and
then our Republic. though it speaks not
of God will go forward
Monsignor F. Z. Rocker spoke on the
twenty fifth year of the accession of Pope
Leo to the Pontificate.
Even non-CGtholics express deep feel
ing" he said, concerning this event.
During th7 ceremonies attending the me-
mortal to the late asSassinated President,
William Mckinley, Secretary Hay himself
took occasion TO refer to this event. Net
urally, when Catholics gather they must
think of the Pope, and this is not only
gathering of Catholics, but those of dis
tinction. A Pope is the most curious fig
ure in history. who. after all the develop
ment OF centuries. Is the only man who
civilized world and say. I say it, AID l
say it in the name of God.
Bishop Conaty's Address.
Right Rev. Thomas J. Conaty. Titular
Bishop of Samos. rector OF the Catholic
University, spoke upon the wisdom of the
location of this institution in the Dis
trct of Columbia
He recalled memories of college days,
thirty five years ago. contrasting the
hardshiDs then with the luxury OF modern
life.
Justice Clabaugh, of the supreme Court
Of the District of Columbia. responded to
a toast which evoked considerable ap-
plause.
My acceptance of the invitation to be
present tonight" he said may be at the
sacrifice of good law tomorrow cannot
tell"

of Manila Bay and the events which fol
lowed and preceded II was not only yalu-
able as being that OF an eyewitness train
ed to observation. but gained additional
interest because of his knowledge of naval
affairs and intimacy with the command
ing officers of the American fleet. The
history of the fight which is now familiar
to every schoolboy in the land. gained
peculiar personal interest through his -e-
cital. The pictures OF the American ships
which took part were greeted with ap-
plause. When the figures of Admiral
