COMMISSIONERS REJECT OFFER
TO RENT BUILDING TO FED
ERAL COURT.
Prosecuting Attorney Wilson Renders
Written Opinion Which Decides
the Commissioners.

The county commissioners this af-
ternoon definitely decided to reject the
offer of the United States government
to lease the county court house for
federal court purposes and a former
order to lease the rooms for $400 per
annum was rescinded. The decision
to reject the offer was made after
Prosecuting Attorney Wilson had sub
mitted the following opinion to the
board:
"Walla Walla, Wash.
Gentlemen:
Regarding the proposed lease OF
court house facilities for the United
States court.
Il cannot find that you have any
authority to make the proposed lease
It might come under the head of your
implied authorities, and I am not GER
tain that it would not, but in the face
of an objection by a taxpayer, 1 am
not at all certain W11dI view ShC SOCA
would take of it, nor that it would not
be enjoined under the terms proposed
in the form of lease submitted.
yours respectfully,
LESTER S. WILSON,"
Politics Nothing to Do With 1t.
Immediately after the board had
passed the order, Chairman Morrow
stated that he wished it distinctly un-
derstood that politics had nothing to
do with the action Of the commission
ers. IF we thought it was within ouf
power to lease the building without
involving the board in litigation we
certainly would accept the offer OF the
government and lease the rooms .
Chairman Morrow said. I'VE know
nothing of the political fight going on
over the federal court building ana II
played no part in this boards reacnins
a decision.

man Breviary.
The Rev. DR.. Henry A. Brann, who
has had the privilege Of examining DR..
Pise's literary reliques, says of him:
"No secular priest in this country
since DR.. Pise has equaled him as a
writer of smooth Latin verse or cor
rect Latin prose. or as writer of pol
ished English prose or poetry. The
blood and the spirit Of the race of
Dante told in his style; he must have
studied the Vita Nuova' and initiated
the beautiful simplicity of it's diction."
1t is not to the credit of our Catho-
lies that DR.. Pisces life and works are
so little known to the present gener-
alton, and are now practically inacces-
sible to all but patient delivers in the
misty records of the past.

Hints From the Shops.

The newest dotted wells have an inch
and half hem formed of soft satin
ribbon the color of the mesh.
Black and white checks hold their
place among fashionable spring suit
ings. They are exceeded in popularity
only by mohairs. which are often
checked in two shades of one color.
Mohairs are, however, generally
made with belero, whereas a three
quarter coat is worn with the black
and white checked coat.
Collars and cuffs of suede will be
much worn with cloths Of plain
shade.
In light material there is a pretty
dimity of tan, with tiny red dots over
it, with here and there large red
polka dot. These large dots over small
dots are among the newest designs in
lawns and dimities.
The newest taffeta underskirts have
an under dust ruff1e Of mercerized
lining.
All tints Of gray are promised as
fashionable for spring, and mauve will
continue in favor.
Du Barry lace, with its huge roses,
and boule de neige, with guelder roses
and white mauresque, mixed with the
gold and light shades, are all new on
the lace counters.

Brooklyn. The church was dedicated,
under the patronage of st. Charles
Borromeo, by Bishop Hughes, On Jan

this charge. The last record he made

Among other documents and relics
treasured by his niece, Mrs. J. Blu

official notification to the only Catholic
chaplain ever appointed to the Con-
gress of the United States:
Office of the Secretary of the Senate
December II, 1882.
Sir: Agreeably to the order of the
day, the Senate proceeded to the cleo
ton of chaplain to Congress on their
part for the present session, and on
counting the ballots it appeared that
you were duly elected.
am respectfully,
Your obedt. servt,
WALTER LOWERIE.
Rev. Charles G. Pise,
Chaplain to Congress.
The nomination to the Office was
made by Henry Clay, between whom
and DR.. Pise, who was then pastor Of
st. Mathews church, Washington,
there existed the warmest friendship.
Indeed. the culture, ability and charm
of DR.. Pise's personality made him the
friend of most of the men Of distinc-
ton of his generation. He was one Of
the strong men of the American church
in the early half Of the last century.
Charles Constantine Pise was born
on November %, 1901, at Annapolis,
Md. his father. Louis Pise, being an
Italian, and his mother, Margaret
Gamble, native of Philadelphia. AZ
ter his classical studies at Georgetown
college, District of Columbia, he
joined the Jesuits, and was sent by
them to make his theology in Rome.
His fathers death soon after enforced
his return home, and he left the order,
but still determined to enter the priest
hood. He went to the College of
Mount st. Mary's, at Emmitsburg,
Md, the famous institution that has
given SO many priests and bishops to
the American church, and after acting
for several years as professor Of rhet-
ORIG, he was ordained a priest in 1926
by Archbishop Marechal, in the Ca
thedral, Baltimore, where he after
ward was stationed for short time.

STANDS ALONE
Distinguished Career Of the
Rev. DR.. C. C. Pise,
The Only Catholic Chaplain
Congress Has Had.

The only priest ever to act as chap
lain to Congress, the Rev. DR.. Charles
Constantine Pise, whose election to
that honor in 1882 was mentioned in
''rhe Catholic News last week, wrote
a beautiful poem, entitled "The Amer
lean Flag" during the KnowNothing
excitement which preceded the war,
when Catholics were on all sides ac-
cused of being enemies of the govern
ment and plotting it's overthrow, says
the New York Catholic News. DR.. Pise,
walking down Pennsylvania avenue,
Washington, happened to see the flag
floating from the capitol, was inspired
by the sight to compose the follow
ing poem:
They say do not love thee,
|. Flag Of my native land;
Whose meteor folds above me
To the free breeze expand;
Thy broad stripes proudly streaming,
And thy stars so brightly cleaning.
They say I would forsake thee,
Should some dark crisis lower;
That, recreant, I should make thee
Crouch to foreign power;
seduced by license ample,
On thee, best flag, to trample.
They say that bolts of thunder,
Cast in the forge Of Rome,
May rise and bring thee under,
Flag Of my native home,
And with one blow discover
My heart from thee forever.
False are the words they utter,
Ungenerous their brand;
And rash oaths they mutter,
Flag of my native land;
Whilst still, in hope above me,
Thou wavest-and I love thee!
God is my loves first duty,
To whose eternal name
Be praise for all thy beauty,
Thy grandeur and thy fame:
But ever have 1 reckoned
Thine, native flag, my second.
Woe to the foe or the stranger,
Whose sacrilegious hand,
Would touch thee, or endanger,
| Flag of my native land.

Effort To Save Mrs Rogers
Not Given Up
TO SUPREME COURT
Appeal Made ByMrs Blickensderfsr
Through 7. W. Moloney Of
Rutland

Rutland, Jan. 23.-Mrs William j.
Blickensderfer OF Stamford, Conn. is
making herculean efforts to save from
the gallows Mrs Mary Rogers, con-
victed OF the murder of her husband,
Marcus Rogers. She has requested T.
w. Maloney OF this city TO act
and will make an effort for new trial
on the grounds OF mental irresponsi-
bllity and discrimination by the jury
because Mrs Rogers was a Roman
Catholic. The case may be taken TO
the supreme court this week.
Mrs Blickensderfer says, Sym
pathy with Mrs Rogers in Vermont
has greatly increased since my visit
there in search of information regard
ing the woman's family history. The
real facts of her life, her friendless
condition and drudgery, and the in
heritance of diseased brain will be
shown. / shall have an ample fund
for defence, 1t is alleged that she was
Disseminated against because she was
Catholic. II this is true the defence
fund should receive substantial aid
from prominent Catholics. "
Mr. Moloney said that no such action
had been taken. He received letter
from Mrs Blicl1ensderfer on Friday
last asking what could be done in
this line and he had answered her let
ter but received no reply as yet. He
said while his sympathies were with
Mrs Rogers he doubted very much If
there would be time to do anything
through the courts now even If he was
asked to.

10. BURT
RETIRES
From The Well Known Firm
OF Burt Bros
RETURNS TO FARMING
S. A. Burt Buys Out His Brother
And viii Continue the
Business
RETURNS TO FARMING

AS mentioned in the Banner yester-
day the firm of Burt Bros is soon TO
be dissolved and one OF the best known
business firms Of the village will cease
TO be. They have been doing business
here for II years, FIVE in the place
where they are now, the balance in the
store VIII ere A. F. Loomis is now loca-
ted.
The senior partner, ]. Oliver Burt,
was for several years partner with
the late Charles G.. Cole. After the
dissolution his brother, S. A. Burt,
associated himself with j. o. Burt and
since then the business has been con.
Quoted under the firm name OF Burt
Bros.
During that time the brothers have
conducted good paying business,
have become known as one of the solid
firms of the village and have made
many friends in addition to those they
had before striking into business for
themselves.
The dissolution comes about by the
retirement OF the senior partner, j.
Oliver Burt, who has sold his interest
to his brother. He has been working
indoors for about 25 years and feels
the necessity of an outdoor life. he
is the owner OF a productive farm in
the south part of the town, now occu.
pied by j. L. Stockwell, whose lease
will expire April 1st At that time MI
Burt will take possession OF the farm,
and again become q 'horny handed
son OF toll.
The bu siness will continue in the
same place by Sidney A. Burt, who
will be as particular in his dealings
with the public as the firm have been,
and who will retain the generous pat,
ronage that the present firm enjoys.
That both may be successful in their
new undertakings is the wish of their
many friends.
In prepar alton for the dissolution a
sale will commence and be continued
until the change takes place. During
that time clothing can be purchased al
lower than card rates. They have q
large advertisement on another page.

The petition is as follows;
SIT is stated that Alexander the
Great found man freezing to death.
He reused him, rubbed him, caused
him to be taken to place of warmth
