POPE HAS CHOSEN MGR. MOONEY.
That Is the News Received bv Priests Here
About the Buffalo See.

Private communications from Rome re-
ceived by several prominent New York
priests yesterday conveyed the informa-
ton that the Pope has chosen Mgr. Mooney
Vicar General Of this diocese, for the
bishopnc Of Buffalo. and that the Holy
Father will insist upon the Vicar-General
accepting the appointment unless the plea
of III health be advanced and insisted upon.
1t was asserted last night by one Of the
PRIESTS closely associated, with Mgr. Mooney
in his work here, that the Vicar-General's
letter to the. Vatican, asking that his name
be erased from the list Of eligibles for APP
pointment to Buffalo, had crossed the COM
inunication from the Holy See.
mgr. Mooney Is not well and has not been

severe attack Of grip he suffered several
months aRo has left him far from strong.
Howeyer. In the Holy Father insists, he will,
OF course, accept the elevation, although
his greatest desire is to continue his parish
work in New York.
1t is asserted by persons In authority In
the Church that II Mgr. Mooney accepts the
elevation 10 the bishopric. the New York
nroyince will undoubtedly be divided. but
That should Rome accede TO his wish and
Kermit him TO remain here, the province
will he left intact, at least for another year,
and Father Biden, rector Of the Cathedral
at Buffalo, will be promoted to the bishopric.
MGR. Mooney will not return TO New York
from Hot Springs, Va, until Saturday. and
then only to attend the Easter celebrations
at his church.

OLD CRIME RECALLED.
Murder of James Macubbin Lingan by
Baltimore Mob.

The action Of the Dolly Madison
chapter, Daughters of the American
revolution, in placing a bronze tablet
at the grave of James Macubbin Lin,
gan, near Georgetown, recalls to mind
one OF the most deplorable tragedies
in all the history Of Baltimore. In
these latter days, when peace and quiet
prevail IN this great city, when no mob
would dare to even defy the law, it
IS difficult to realize how a murder
like that of 1912 could have been perpe-
trated and brave hero Of the revolu-
ton like Lingan, have met his death at
the hands Of brutes, who were allowed
full sway for their angry passions. In
studying the. deed it must be remem-
bered that the public mind was
wrought up to the highest pitch Of ex-
element. Congress had declared war
with Great Britain for the second time
and the majority of Americans gave
full and hearty Endorsement to this
action. There were others, however
some Of them men of the highest stand
ing,> not few ofothem, like Lingan,
heroes of the revolution who were op-
posed to the war, and, who thus were
counted as tories and enemies of their
country. v-z ~ t~s.N4s.
In Baltimore was then established
by Alexander G. Hanson and others
paper called the Republican, which
not only, opposed the war, but made Bit
ter attacks on all who favored it..
The mayor and other officials of Bal
tlmore were not spared. and finally,
driven desperate by such attacks,
mob wrecked the publishing house and
compelled Hanson to f1eee He went to
MS home at Rockville and after a
time gathered some of, his friends
about him, Gen. Lingan eamong them.
and returned to Baltimore Here he
attempted to continue THE distribution
of his paper, but again a. mob attacked
the once, and for safe keeping the ed
ltor and his friends were carried to
jail. There they were attacked by
MOB led by two butchers, and there
Llngan was killed and the others sore
~ beaten. number Of them being left

1t was brutal deed ana deserved the
condemnation stamped upon it by
George Washington Parke Gusts, who

would that the recording angel who

voice cries from the tomb of the brave
1t rises to the God of Nature and hu-
manlty and demands a vengeance on
the murderers.''
Those murderers were never num-
ished. Though the deed was condemn
ed, the efforts at prosecution were but
perfunctory, for the feeling against
men counted enemies of their country
was strong enough to make it's inf1u-
ence felt on those whose duty it was
