REPUBLGC SPECIAL.
Joplin. No. Oct. 7.-F'ollowinC the resig
nation OF Colonel II. II. Gregg as super,
intendcnt Of the Missouri mines and min
ing exhibit on account Of the small appro-
priation allotted to that department thS
Joplin Commercial Club tonight. after
concluding that fully $500 was necessary
TO properly make the exhibit. unanimous
ly adopted resolutions containing the fol
lowing section:
In our opinion. unless such an appro-
priation is made. there should be no fur
ther attempt TO prepare any exhibit. as
We believe II Is better TO make no display
OF MisEouri's mineral resources rather
than 10 present one that IS imperfect and
utterly misleading
This trouble arose over the fact that Il
was reported that much less and entirely
insufficient sum was allotted for the mines
and mining department out Of the Si.OoOOlJ
appropriated for the Missouri exhibit.
The local mining men estimated that
their pro rata OF that appropriation should
be Sl51,OOo. and requested the commission
to set aside that amount
II was finally understood that about
$4,000 would be set aside. but Colonel
Gregg understood that much less than
this amount would probably eventually be
named. and rather than accept the re-
spOnsibility on meager FUNDS he submitted
his resignation.
The mining association has passed sim
liar resolutions. and Il may result in the
Missouri exhibition Of mines and rctning
remaining outside OF the Exposition
grounds.

FIR. C0FFEY FOR
VICAR GENERAL?
CIergymen Think Archbishop
GlennOn's appointment May
Go 10 Pastor of ST.
Johns Church.

Catholic clerGymen well versed in the
affairs OF the Diocese OF St. Louis and
acquainted with its needs at the present
time think the next Vicar General will he
the Reverend Father J. T. COffey. pastor
OF ST. Johns Catholic Church.
For several weeks it has been reported
that he IS the man who would be chosen.
and one Catholic priest yesterday said
that Archbishop Glennon had talked TO st.
Johns pastor in regard to the matter.
asking that he consider the needs Of the
diocese and accept the appointment.
Further than that II was said that
Father Cofrey at first refused. but was
led TO reconsider and that his appoint
ment Will be announced early next week.
Father Cofey said yesterday afternoon
that he had repeatedly heard the rumOrs
referred TO and that several priests had
questioned him as TO whether he would
accept. These interrogations. he SAYS. he
naturally refused to answer. saying that
nothing had been offered him.
TO all these questions" said Father
CofTey. Il have answered that / am a
candidate for nothing but TO do my best
In St. Johns Parish. You can say that
Archbishop Glennon has not mentioned
the subject OF the vicar Seneralsh.p q
me. much less proposed TO me my appoint
menJ.
Il am sure that the Archbishop would
consult with the man he has chosen be
fore announcing the appointment and
also that he would first gain his consent" "
II IS known that Father Coffey is a very
close friend OF Archbishop GlennOn. knew
him well IN Kansas City. and was the
man VINO first invited him TO speak i'm St.
Louis. the occasion being the golden anni-
yersary OF st. Johns Church.
Archbishop Glennon. in accordance with
the rule he has established was reticent
about the matter either way. preferrfuE to
let IL come before the pubic IN the usual
manner after the appointment is made
public.
II is known that Archbishop GIennon
was strongly urged to appoint Vicar
General before the death OF Archbishop
Kain. He preferred not to do this. be-
cause technically the man appointed
would have been Archbishop Kain's Vicar
General. and could not have acted for
Archbishop Glennon.
II IS also known that the Archbishop
has been urged by a certain contingent to
appoint a German speaking priest TO the
position. Whether the Archbishop will do
this CT tend TO further Americanizc the
church by having its officials BaEIlsh
speaking persons Is matter OF discussion.
