JUDGE RYAN THE ORATOR
AT EMMETT centennial.
That Cause of Irish Independ-
ence Is immortal.

Indianapolis. Ind, Sept. 23.-The one
hundredth anniversary Of the execution of
Robert Emmet was celebrated tonight at
Masonic Hall by the Irish societies. Judge
ONeill Ryan OF st. Louis was the prin-
cipal speaker. He said in part:
ireland has had many orators and men
OF action. perhaps too many OF the former,
too few of the latter. The cause of Irish
liberty is imperishable. For it men have
langushed in dungeons and perished on
scaffolds. have yielded their lives on the
battlefield and endured the anguish of
exile.
THE cause Is immortal 1t cannot per-
tsh. 1t must triumph, and IL the race be
true to Emmet's principles in the provi-
oence or God and Irish manhood that VIC
tory should soon be won. The history of
lreland's connection with England shows
rothing substantial can be gained save by
1erce or Its threat backed by power to
carry 1t out.
The Irish race in this country has lost
faith in appeals to the English Parlia-
ment. No one wants to plunge Ireland
into an unprepared war, but in the name
of Irish independence stop pleading to
Parliament, for granting self-government
to Ireland will thereby make Ireland a
contented part of the Empire and thus in
sure imperial integrity. Mr.. Redmond is
doubtless expressing his honest views of
the proper solution of the Irish question
self to the race. 1t is not one that will
justify his supporters in commemorating
a man whose principles and methods are
directly the opposite"

Judge Tracy Upholds Worlds
Fair Guard in His
Decision.
SAYS LAW MUST BE ENFORCED
Five Striking Italian staff Work
ers Refuse to Leave Exposi-
ton Grounds and Are
Arrested.

Judge Tracy of the Central District Po-
lice Court yesterday fined five Italian la
borers SO each for trespassing on the
Worlds Fair grounds. In his decision
Judge Tracy told the men that he intended
enforcing the law to the letter in cases OF
the kind and for next offense he would
assess the maximum fine.
The men are Frank Funar. Archie Che
lardi, John Bon. August Propero and Peter
Gerette. They were formerly employed by
the Smith &c Eastman Company, which
has the contract for furnishing stan for
the Machinery building. With other en-
ployes of the company, they recently
struck. and their places were filed by
other staff workers.
Last Tuesday they appeared upon the
Fair grounds, and coming around the
Smith-Eastman plant endeavored to in
duce men who were working there to quit
Later they entered the Mines and Metal
lurgy building, where John L. Berg, a
member of the Jefferson Guard. ordered
them to leave.
They refused to do so and threatened
to cause trouble. Berg summoned other
guards and policemen. who arrested them
and took them to the Mounted District
found to have plentiful supply OF re-
yolvers and knives.
At the trial yesterday the Exposition
Company was represented by N S. Brown
of General Counsel Blair's Office He stat
ed to the court that contractors on the
Fair grounds had been greatly annoyed
by trespassers ana had made requests for
relief The Exposition property, he said
was as much entitled to protection in this
regard as that OF any private citizen or
corporation.
Speaking of Judge Tracy's decision yes
terday, an official of the Worlds Fair said
that it caused considerable satisfaction.
Tho right of Jefferson Guards to arrest
trespassers is Established and is backed
up by fine being assessed against the
offenders. 1t is thought the decision will
have an excellent effect.
1t was learned at the guard headQuar-
ters that many trespasserS had been gain
ing admission to the grounds through the
fence at the southern extremity of the
grounds. Lieutenant Clark ordered an in
spection of the fence and found In one
place that boards had been removed and
replaced with one nail so they could
be easily swung aside.
Guards were placed to watch the open
ing, and after about an hours vigil, de-
tected two men push the board aside, slip
inside, then push 1t back in place The
guards allowed the intruders to proceed
short distance. then arrested them.
They were taken to the Mounted Dis

Presbyterian Congregation Sc
lects Doctor Campbell COyle
for It's Pastor.
ELECTION IS UNANIMOUS.
Ohio Churchman Will Preach
Here Before Giving a Final
Answer to the In
yitation.

The congregation of the West Presbyte-
rlan Church last night extended call to
the Reverend Doctor Campbell Coyle OF
Toledo. o., to become pastor of the
church
Members of the West Church's session
have had an interview with Doctor Coyle
and he consented to their proposing his
name to the congregation.
He is pastor of the Collingswood Avenue
Presbyterian Church OF Toledo, the most
important of the denomination there and
has been eminently successful in his pas
torate. He expressed a willingness to
preach TO the local Presbyterian congre-
cation should a call be extended. This
he will do within the next three weeks,
and not until then will his answer be
given
Members of West Church do not believe
that Doctor Coyle will refuse. A large
per cent of the total membership of the
church was present, the session unanim-
ously and enthusiastically recommended
Doctor Coyle. and the vote in favor of
calling him was unanimous
The Reverend Doctor Francis L. Fergu-
son, who built up the West Church. died
last March, leaving the pastorate vacant.
The session decided to act carefully before
recommending any one as MS successor.
1t was understood that no minister should
preach to the congregation as a candidate
Tor the position.
The pulpit was supplied each Sunday of
the summer, and committees OF the ses-
sion visited churches in other cities, hear
ing pastors whom they thought might
prove acceptable.
The Reverend Doctor Samuel c. Palmer
at the Bible Conference at Winona Lake
last summer, met Doctor Coyle and was
so impressed with him that he recon-
mended that the sessions committee go
to Toledo to hear him preach. About the
same time a letter came to the session
from a former member of the West
Church, urging that they consider Doctor
Coyle.
Several weeks ago committee consist
ing of George 7. CoXhead, James A. Hen
Gerson, n o. Pope, Charles Campbell and
w Il. Wylie went to the Toledo Church
and heard Doctor Coyle preach three ser
mons. They were impressed with his de-
livery.
The Toledo pastor is a brother of the
Reverend Doctor Robert +. Coyle of Den
yer. Colo, moderator Of the last General
Assembly which met in Los Angeles, Cal.
He is less than 40 years old. A graduate
of Mccormick Seminary in Chicago, he
went to small church in Iowa and then
to California. where he held a pastorate.
Seven years ago he went to the Toledo
Church. Under him it's membership has
grown from 264 to 721 persons, and a tenn
pie of worship. which will cost $4,000, is
almost ready for occupancy.
