Washington, Dec. 5.-Attorney Gen.
eral w. II. Moody, in his annual report
TO congress recommends the enactment
Of law which will provide in sub
stance that where an indictment is
duly returned to a court of the United
States, the Judge of that court may, in
his discretion, issue bench warrant
for the arrest of the defendants
wherever they may be found within
the territorial limits of the United
States; and that it shall be the duty
of all persons authorized to serve such
process to arrest the persons or per-
son indicted. and. if they fail after rea-
sonable opportunity TO furnish bail
for their appearance. to bring them
to the court in which the indictemnt
has been found. The attorney general
explains that much embarrassment in
the administration of the law has aris-
en- from the inability of the United
States to bring an offender to the place
and the court where. by the constitu-
ttoh ahN thS laws tiC
against him must be tried. BY the
constitution the trial of all crimes
must be held in "the state and dis
trict wherein they shall have been
committed" 1t frequently hanppens
that persons accused are not found
within the limits of the district where
the oifenses alleged against them are
triable The frequency of such alb
sence increases with the gravity of
the accusation, and where 1t consists
In conspiracy almost invaribly one
or mere of the alleged offenders are
without the jurisdiction of the dis
trict
In support of his views Mr.. Moody
cites number of cases under the pres
ent law in which justice has been de-
feated or greatly delayed and large
expense unnecessarily incurred by the
government. Among these cases is
that of the co-defendants with Capt.
Oberlip M. Carter in the Savannah
harbor improvement frauds. Mr..
Moody outlines the proceedings and
says that only after o delay of 26
months did the United States reach
the point where, under the law, it wee
permitted to take men charged with
4 grave crime to the place provided
by the constitution for their trial.
Another case, he SAYS, ia that of
George w. Beavers, under indictment
in connection with the postotiice de-
partment frauds. In relation to this
case the attorney general says: when
Beavers can be obtained for trial no
one can predict with certainty. How
much further immunity from trial the
intricacies of practice. the delays Of
the courts. and the ingenuity of coun-
sci may serve to procure for him no
one can foretell. 1t can only be hoped
that at some time before the witnesses
are dead, or have forgotten the cir
cumstances, the power of the United
States may be proved to be sufficient
to bring the accused 22S miles to the
place appointed by the constitution for
his trial."
Another case is that of Hyde, Dr.
mond and Schneider, indicted in Feb
ruary last in the District of Columbia
for defrauding the government of large
tracts of public lands. Only one of
these defendants thus far has been
placed under bail for trial, and yet
the case, says the report, has cost the
government $4,000

The Catholic Klno of Samoa.

The name of Mataafa, king of Samoa, is ia
nlihar to Catholics in this country, partly on ae-
count OF the brilliant eulogy of him from the pea
of Robert Louis Stevenson and partly on account
of the efforts of a sectarian missionary band aided
and abetted by the American chief justice of Sa-
moa, TO oust him in favor of weakling friendly to
their cause The following paragraph from a let
ter published in the Illustrated Catholic Missions,
written by French missionary who recently Wis
tied the island is, therefore, of considerable in
terest:
'The next morning at the end of Mass, at which
all the village assisted, | remarked during my
thanksgiving that Mataafa instead of going out
with the rest remained quietly in his place. and aft
er moment of meditation began to go around the
Stations of the Cross. Resting his y years upon
his royal staff, / beheld him kneeling and risjhg
alternately as any pious seminarian would do. But
when they afterward told me that he had become
frequent communicate | was no longer surprised
at his fervor. The general opinion is that he is
the noblest soul in Samoa. His lieutenant and
friend, Suatee, who occupies the post of chief
judge, may be compared to him in many respects"
1T is good to hear that Suatee is such another
as Maaafa and better still to learn as we do from
the Illustrated Catholic Missions, that if-as is
most probable-his son, Antonio Tupuola, succeeds
the old king, after he is gone, ''the work of the
father will certainly be continued by the son.

Indians and Nun Teachers.

Addressing the Newman club of Los Angeles
Cal, recently, Charles, +. Lummis, the well known
editor and writer who is not Catholic, delivered
ringing address. Among other things he sand:
The fact is that the Catholic Church and its
schools are the pioneers in Indian education in
America. 1t was not until 1907 that an English
speaking person came to New Mexico. In 1911
there were eleven Catholic churches in New Mexico.
and all had their Indian schools. The reason why
am opposed to this campaign against Catholic
Indian schoo is because these are the only schools
L know OF that doing the Indians lasting good.
Not because OF the religion, which Is nothing to
me- although it is the Indians religion to a great
extent. do not believe that one should be taken
from his fathers faith his mothers faith for
the Whln or q school teacher. l am Judging by
the long results. / have not known child from
Catholic school who had forgotten his parents or
his language. | have not known any of the girls
that have gone wrong in the Indian towns to have
come from Catholic school. Not one, But have
known good many from Carlisle and other gov
efnment schools. Go with me to that exqtlistely
neat and mothery school of Sister Margaret, at
Bernalillo; go with to the Albuquerque or ta
the Santa Fe school, and then let man of the
world Judge which of those he would choose as q
place for his children.
If there is anything in the world, though not
Catholic, that revere, it is Sister of Charity.
There is something selfish in that administration
as well as something of experience, for I have
known them for long time, and i'll boyhood |
thought they terrible; but [ have seen them
when the black "vomito" ragged in the tropics, and
mothers and fathers fed away from their own chill
drep and people fell in the Streets and those daugh
ters of God picking up the deserted dead and dy-
ing. And have felt stheir tender mercy myself;
and when man comes to me and says that child
or dog-had better be taught by a politician
who is rewarded by place in a government Indian
school than BY Sister of Charity, he wants to
bring his fire escape with him, that's all And it
seems to me that any American. not to say any
Catholic American, could not better employ part
of his money than in aiding the support of the
Indian schools conducted by these noble and un-
selfish women, now frowned upon and even active
ly antagonized by the partisan spirit of our poll
ticians.

non-GatboIie Queries, and Hnswer$ Cberetc

Laserre, "Miracles at Lourdes'; American Catholic
Quarterly, 1875, p.,837 1898, p 1922
Do Catholics have TO believe all the miracles re-
corded in the lives of the saints?
BY no means They are historical facts, which
depend on human and fallible testimony, which may
be false and therefore is to be weighed carefully
any other testimony. Many things related in
the old lives of the saints we're undoubtedly leg
ends. Thus, Lingard, the Catholic historian, after
speaking of many undoubted miracles IN the Anglo
Saxon church, admits there are also many which
must shrink from the frown of criticism; some
which may have been the effect of accident or I'M
agination; some that are more calculated to excite
the smile than the wonder of the readers, and
which : = y depend on the distant testimony
of writers not remarkable for sagacity or discrim-
ination" ("Antiquities of the Anglo-Cathohc
church." ch. xii, Il. O.. The Catholic church, how
ever, is most careful in her acceptance of miracles,
as we can see by the rules laid down by Benedict
XIV in his treatise on 'The Canonization of
Saints" Evidence that critics have considered con-
vincing has, a matter of fact, been rejected by
the Congregation of Rites at Rome.
Catholics are not more credulous than other peo
pie but they protest against that modern irrational
prejudice which denying the possibility of miracles
refuses to consider testimony for them, no matter
how strong or overwhelming.
How can indulgences avail for the dead whose dis
positions cannot be known@
The Catholic church does not claim to directly
apply the infinite merits of Jesus Christ and the
superabundant merits of His saints to the souls in
purgatory, over whom she has no jurisdiction. Sc
can only offer these merits to God by way of suf-
frage, and leave the application entirely to His
good pleasure. Thus, Catholic may gain pie
nary indulgence and offer it up for particular
soul in purgatory; but God is not pledged to apply
1t, and it by means follows that his soul is at
once ushered into the presence of God. This seems
however, to be the ordinary Protestant notion, al
though it was expressly condemned by the Church
in the Council of Vienne, A. D. 1911.

An exciting incident occurred last night in the I'm
