CALLS ON CATHOLICS
Funds for Their University Are
Asked by the Cardinal.

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 12.-In con-
formity with the wishes expressed by
Plus X. Cardinal Gibbons has ordered
a collection for the Catholic university
to be taken up in all the churches OF
his diocese on the first Sunday of
Advent, Nov 20, 1903. 1t is believed
that similar letters will be issued by
the other bishops of the United States.
The cardinal gave out letter, which
has been mailed to all the priests of the
archdiocese. 1t contains this:
Men of large experience Che arch
bishops), keenly alive to the coun-
trys needs, fully appreciating it's
progress in all other directions, they
felt compelled to urge aqual advance
ment in the intellectual and religious
development of both clergy and laity.
The judgment of these men, who are
the divinely appointed leaders or
Christ's flock, should and certainly
will be accepted without demur by the
faithful at large. But a more authori-
tatiye voice has spoken. The decision
of the archbishops has been accepted,
approved and emphasized by the de-
cision of the holy see. His holiness,
Plus X, has written to me, as chan
cellor of the university, and through
me to all the bishops of the United
States, expressing his fullest sym
pathy with this contemplated move
ment, exhorting the faithful to re-
spond generously to the appeal and
promising apostolic benediction to all
who cooperate in the larger and full
er endowment of this university.
1.-The church has ever realized that
the university is a great intellectual
force for clergy and laity; for the
clergy, since it adorns them with all
the culture of their age, and thereby
makes them skillful in meeting the
objections of adversaries of the faith;
for the laity, since it offers them the
best advantages for the. most sc1en-
tific training.
TT was then in keeping with the
most venerable traditions that the
church established in the United
States the Catholic university. And
surely no one can deny that it's found
alton was timely. Behold the number
of non-Catholic universities in our
country! 1t is moreover but right that
all should contribute to the support OF
this great project, because univer-
sity needs for it's support far greater
resources now than in the past. In
its short life the Catholic university has
already won for itself an intellectual
prominence which fewsCother unversi-
ties have reached in the same period OF
time. All this gives good reason for
presuming that it's future will be
bright indeed, if the faithful con-
tribute to it's support with a self-sac-
rifcing generosity born of faith in the
usefulness of university to the
church. and if at all times they lend
the moral support of their sympathy
and well meaning admiration.
"Finally, this is the first appeal of
our holy father, Plus X, to US, his
American children, to support work
in which he manifests so much inter
est. Shall we not then justify his ex-
pectation to the full, and make this
occasion memorable by our cordial
and generous support? ~

One the fve-year purchase clause,
Mr. Taylor was just as positive. This
provision permits the city to step in
in 1912 and purchase the plant at it's
structural value.
"a franchise with this provision is
of no value to u.s." explained Mr.. Tay-
lor. ''Why if you exercised this right

trust law, but the court of appeals
holds that the cement company had
the right to require him to sign such
contract before agreeing to sell him
the goods.
The Whitwell case was first COM
menced a year ago last summer, and
it has been stubbornly fought through
the lower courts, where the defendant
company finally won out on the ground
that Whitwen had not stated a. suffi-
cient cause Of action.
The case was appealed to the circuit
court of appeals, where it was argued
before Judges Sanborn, Thayer and
Van Devanter.
The decision handed down yesterday
was written by Judge Sanborn, and is
concurred in by Judges Thayer and
Van Devanter. 1t affirms the ruling of
the trial court in every instance.
Prices Made Were Prohibitive.
The suit arose out of the methods
employed by the trust to compel Whit
well to handle trust goods only. The
plaintiff attempted to purchase a bill
of tobacco from the defendant compa-
ny, but before the company's agent
would enter into a contract to sell
him the goods he made out a list of
goods which Whitwell would have to
purchase. This list contained many
more goods than WhitWell desired to
purchase, and the price quoted was so
high that Whitwell claimed the goods
could not be resold at profit.
This, it was explained, was the trust
method of dealing with all purchasers
who handled any other than trust
goods.
Whitwell brought suit under the
antitrust act. which permits suit to
be brought for treble the damages sus-
tanned, contending that he had a right
to purchase any quantity of goods he
desired. He insisted that the Cont

The real question at issue was as

court says. s,I+
The owner Of goods may dictate the

the damages Which are caused by an
applicant by refusal of the owner to

1.-The tobacco company and it's COM
petitors were not dealers in articles of
prime necessity as corn or veal, nor
were they rendering public or quasi
public service like a railroad company.
Each of them therefore has the right to
refuse to sell it's commodities at any
price,
Second Decision on Same Point.
In the case of Thomas H Phillips
against the lola Portland Cement COM
pany the plaintiff, who is in the ce-
ment business in Texas, entered into a
contract with the defendant company
for the purchase of $4,000 barrels of
cement, to be delivered within year.
By the terms of the contract, the pur-
chaser was not permitted to resell the
cement to parties outside the state of
Texas. After about half of the cement
had been delivered the Texas parties
refused to accept or pay for any more
and suit for the purchase price was
brought by the defendant company.
The plaintiff contended that the de-
fendant, under the terms OF its con-
tract forbidding the cement to be sold
to parties outside the state, was in
violation of the interstate commerce
law and the anti-tr law, but the
lower court held different and is sus-
tanned by the court of appeals.
'I do not see how the court could
have decided either of these cases 9TH
erwise," said W. H. Lightner, when
asked his opinion of the decision last
night. There is nothing involved in
either case except the rights of an
owner to sell his property upon any
terms he might desire to insist upon.
The purchaser was not compelled to
purchase the goods and if the terms
did not suit them, they certainly would
have no recourse at law, after agree
ing to accept such terms. Neither
could they compel the seller to dispose
of his property at terms named by the
purchaser. There is nothing in either
case which attacks the trusts and the
decisions as handed down are nothing
more than could have been expected

Nav FIoht for Honest Elections.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 12.-Citizens Of
Denver have been advised to use force at
the charter election on Dec. 10 next to
purify the ballot. At a public meeting
called by the league for honest elections,
facts and figures were presented showing
that at recent elections in this city thou
sands of illegal votes have been counted.
Speakers openly charged that the presi-
dent of the fire and police board, the chief
of police and officers in that department
and the majority of the city council who
approved the appointment of dishonest
election judges were the parties respon..

affairs Attorney Ralph Talbot declared in
favor of having 100 men armed, with
Winchesters, go to the precincts in the

principles of agriculture in public schools

governor said that farmers generally now
approved the movement. and he looked for
the time when such work would be taught
in all the schools of the land. Another

railroad near his place.
A fiat car. heavily loaded with steer
rails, in some manner became detached
from the train at the steel camp, some
seven miles from the point TO which the
road has been completed and started
down the grade. Gathering velocity each
minute, the heavy load dashed along the
newly-laid track. making a terrific noise
as it ppounded ovsr the loose rails and
Jared across unsteady bridges. startling
the residents along the line. The after
noon was cloudy. and those who heard IL
from distance thought the noise was
the thunder Of an approaching Storm
Near the end of the road there IS
deep cut. and just beyond it a crew or
eight carpenters were engaged In putting
in n bridge over creek. In the cut
stood a construction train with a pile

down the grade and crashed into the con-
struction train, precipitating the whole
mixed mass of steel and iron down the
track towards the bridge. where the men
were working. 1t seemed an act Of Provi-
dence that the wreck was stopped within
ten feet Of the bridge by the wheels OF the
