CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY SAFE.
Rector O'Connell Says That All Its Fun de
Were Not in Wagga mans Control.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 4-Rector O'Connell
Of the Catholic University at Washington
was in Baltimore to-day as the guest OF
Cardinal Gibbons. and Catholic University
matters we're the subject OF conference
between the two prelates.
DR.. O'Connell was emphatic in his denial
Of the statement made that in consequence
Of the bankruptcy Of Thomas E. Waggaman,
the treasurer of the institution, the univer-
sity would not be able to take students
during the coming year.
1T must be remembered said DR.,
O'Connell, "that all the funds OF the uni
versity we're not in Mr.. Waggaman's control.
The last collection was still in the posses
sion of the fathers and the large collection
Of the Knights Of Columbus had not been
turned over to him"
Cardinal Gibbons would neither deny
nor confirm the story that he was willing
to sacrifice his own fortune for the uni
versity, nor would he say whether or not
he would call a conference Of the clergy,
nor whether he would issue an appeal for
aid. He contented himself by saying that
he would do all in his power to prevent the
university from suffering by the financial
embarrassment OF it's treasurer.
