FEAST DAY ATTRACTS
THR0NGS TO CHURCH

Immense throngs attended the local
Roman Catholic churches today to eel
citrate the feast of the immaculate
conception, and the fftieth anniversary
of the PRONUNCIATION Of that dogma by
Pope Plus TX. It is also the first an
niversary of the accession to the papal
throne by Pope Plus x. For three
months the churches have been prepar-
ing for the celebration and the affairs
We're deliberately decorated.
With the exception of the special
music arranged for the occasion, the
services closely followed the ceremo.
malls of the feast day. Masses were
held at 6, Z, 8 and 9 O'Clock, and the
solemn high mass at 1890 O'Clock this
morning.
"The doctrine of the immaculate
conception said Rev. T. E. Cullen of
the Church of the Imaculate Conception
this morning, "has always been part of
the faith Of the Catholic church in the
devotion paid to the mother of Christ,
but it was formally, promulgated as a
dogma in 1854 by Pope Plus TX. The
present pope attaches especial signif
canoe to the day., believing in the res
toration of all things in Christ thru
Mary. In our services this morning
references were made to the fiftieth an
niversary, but with that exception, the
ritual was the same as that used OH

End COMES TO
NEGRO PIONEER
r. r. GREY WAS WELL KoNWN IN
TERRITORIAL DAYS.
First Colored Barber in Minneapolis -
Was a Man of Education for Whom
the White Pioneers Came to Have
High Regard - Prominent Men At
tend His Funeral.

Ralph T. Grey, the first colored bar
| Der in Minneapolis, the only negro who
held membership in the Territorial
Pioneers, personal friend of many of
the most prominent men who helped
build Minneapolis, and a respected citi-
ties, is dead. The end came early in
the week, and yesterday the body was
buried after simple service attended
by several prominent Minneapolitans,
including George A. Bracket, DR.. w.
81. Leonard, Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. Tanner,
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank G O'Brien, Calvin
Clark, Judge j. O. Pierce and several
members OF the Swenedborgian congre-
cation.
Such men as Frank O 'Brien and E. M.
Van Cleve, who have known him for
more than forty years, speak Of Mr..
Grey with the greatest affection. He
came to Minneapolis in 1856, and fol-
the old Jerrett house on Main street S.;
next at the fremont house, and eventu-
ally at the Winslow, which in ISIS day
was one of the famous hostelries Of the
northwest.
Mr.. Grey was born in York, Pa,
seventy four years ago., and had never
ton, and was. a student of political and
religious subjects. A Swedenborgian
in belief, he was one Of the founders Of
the local congregation to which he re-
NAMED steadfast to the last.
Among his own people Mr.. Grey was
the patriarch and pioneer. He was a
personal friend of Frederick Douglas,
whom he entertained here in the early
seventies.
Mr.. Grey took an active part in the
freeing Of Eliza Winston, colored girl
employed as maid by Mississippi
family spending the summer in this
city. He was instrumental in begin
ming the habeas corpus proceedings
which resulted in her liberty being Civ
en- by the district court. Southern sym
pathizers resented the action and
threatened to restore the "nigger
wench' to her master, but W. S. King
started demonstration that nearly be-
came riot: The affair caused much
feeling and King was believed to be in
personal danger for some time, but de-
fed his enemies in his characteristic
cally courageous manner.
For several years Mr.. Grey has lived
at 2SO1 Third avenue s with his family,
consisting of Mrs: Grey and a son,
Ralph, both Of whom survive. The
services were held at St. Thomas mis-
sion, Ninth street and Fifth avenue S.,
for about thirty years the home of the
Swedenborgian congregation.

Nellie Fitchette, wife of the late
Coffee john Fitchette Of Ames ad-
ministration renown, has been subpe-
naed by the state in the case against
the former mayor. It is presumed she

Moving along old, familiar lines,
the states case was presented to the
new jury this morning. After a short
cross examination Of Norbeck, the
women of the town who paid "protec-
ton money! to Gardner were called.
Bessie Lee, Grace Vernon and. frankie
Buell. told how they contributed.'
Charles R. Hill, an Ames police cap
tain, and himself under indictment for
receiving bri be, testified for the state.
He will later be called by the defend
ant. Joseph Reese, a contributing
pawnbroker, repeated his story. Fred
erick W. Ames, his brothers. chief Of
police and now serving a sentence at
Saltwater, for the, third time told of
objections made to carrying out his
chief IS orders and his connection with
the collection of graft and the "round-
ing up' of women not on the official
"lists. - ..,.. l.
When the noon recess was taken DR..
Ames went over and shook hands with
