A PASTOR FROM CANADA.
FATHER ENFRIN .ARRIVEs-FILLs
OFFICE OF ASSISTANT PASTOR
y OF NoTRE DAME. IN s ~

Rev. Father Enfrin Of the Congrega-
tion of the Little Children of the I'm
maculate Conception residing at Car
tier diocese of St. Bonaface, Manitoba,
has been appointed temporarily to the
Church Of Our Lady of Lourdes to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of the
late Rev. Gabriel. Andre. Father En-
frin has been giving a retreat 70 the
Little Sisters Of the Poor, st. Paul and
Minneapolis, for the last two weeks.
He entered into his office as assistant
pastor Of the French Catholic church
on Prince street yesterday. Mr.. Enfrin
is a man of great .piety- and learning,
and at present speaks only a few words
of English. He does not come as a
stranger to the Minneapolis 'congrega-
ton, for during a retreat given b. him
last spring at the Church Of Our Lady
of Lourdes, the congregation learned
to know him as an adviser Of great
spiritual strength. Father Andre has
been filing the two offices, of pastor
and assistant pastor, since the illness
of Mr.. Enfrin s predecessor. The con-
gregation is a large one, and its con-
tinual increase in numbers makes Sc
we're demands on the priests, as it in
cludes great deal Of parish work in
the French settlements Of the city. -

CONRAD W|THDRAWS HIS
REMARK ABOUT MACHEN
Statement that the Alleged CRATER
Made $4,000 a Year Is Not
in Evidence.
PROSECUTION TO CLOSE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-In the postal
trial to-day several witnesses were led
through a tedious line of questioning by
the assistant district attorney, most of
which, as counsel explained, was for the
purpose of showing a personal interest on
the part of Machen regarding the intro
duction of the Croft fastener. The govern
ment announced that it was nearing the
completion of its case.
After counsel for the defense briefly had
touched on the statement made at the close
of yesterdays session by Mr.. Conrad that
Machen. on a salary of $500 year. had
managed to make $4,000 a year, Mr.. Con-
rad secured permission to withdraw his re-
mark, saying that he would not convict the
defendants on any statement that fell un-
guardedly from his lips. The disputed
transcript of Machens account with the
Union National Bank, Westminster, Md,
then was admitted on the express under
standing that only such items as were
shown to relate to Machen in the transac-
tions between him and the other defendants
should be considered.
Justice Pritchard discharged the rule is
sued yesterday against Postoffice Inspectors
MAYER and Gregory, charged by the defense
with coaching witnesses, being satisfied
with their answers as stated In aff1davits
presented by them. An adjournment until
Monday was taken.

shake her direct testimony. Martha Bech-
tel, who is also under Indictment charged

charged with being accessories after the
fact, denied that they knew anything about
the death of their sister Mabel Charles

while at work. He broke the handle while
at work.
Mrs. Maggie Miller, a neighbor to the
Bechtels. testified she heard no voices or
noises in the Bechtel house Monday night

TRADE AGREEMENT WITH
FRANCE MAY Be REACHED
Understanding Needed to Take the
Place of the Projected Reel
procity Treaty.
TO USE DINGLEY ACT

WASHINGTON. Jan. PA movement is
making for an agreement between the gov
ernments of the United States and France in
lieu of the projected reciprocity treaty
which his not received the approval of the
Senate, and. consequently, has failed
through the expiration of the period Of time
allowance for ratification and exchange. In
the search after new sources OF revenue the
French government has let it be known that
II cOntemplates a considerable increase of
the duties on imported meats, which would,
of course. fall principally on American
Porter to secure the minimum rates for the
American goods disclosed the fact that some
concession must be made in return by the
United States. and it is intmated that the
French government might be satisfied with
a 20 per cent. abatement of the duty one
Of the greatest OF French staples imported
into the United States. Having in mind the
situation in the Senate in regard TO the
French reciprocity treaty, the department
officials concluded that il would be useless
TO ernbody this new French concession in
treaty form, il would also probably fail
TO receive the Senate's approval. So q re-
course has been had to Section 8 of the
Dingley tar1n act. and If this projected ar
rangement should take shape Git being now
merely a tentative prOposition) the outcome
would be one of the commercial agreements
which will require no action on the part of
the United States Senate.
Representatives of other European nations
other than France are keenly interested III
the success of this undertaking.
