COMPLAINANT ESCAPES FOR So
After BotherIns Justice With an Accusa-
ton Against His Cousin,

Mateo De Stefano, a clerk in the law office
of Charles LIE Barber, came as a COM
p~lainant yesterday morning to the Jeffer-
son Market police court, where Magistrate
Pool was sitting. He left court two hours
later after paying SIS fine and seeing the
defendant discharged. Stefano was appar-
emily surprised.
Stefano accused Rocco Amati of 5000
Broone street of ~assaulting him and
trying to steal his $3.50 diamond ring.
Stefapo told a detailed story, which was
apparently corroborated by the testimony
OF his fourteen-year-old daughter.
Lawyer Bohlan, who represented Amati,
brought out that complainant and de-
PENDANT were cousins; that they had been
in a saloon playing mora; hat Stefano
had lost, and that they had quarrelled.
Amati testified that Stefano tried to stab
him and that he struck at Stefano in self
defence and then ran. Stefano hadn't a
scratch on him.
Magistrate Pool declared first that
Amati was guilty Of a far more serious
charge than attempted larceny and ordered
the complaint changed to felonious assault.
At that Stefano wanted to withdraw his
complaint. The Court refused TO allow
him to do so. Stefano insisted.
Magistrate Pool discharged Amati and
ordered Stefano to pay So costs before he
should be allowed to cave the court room.
Stefano parted with his SIS with a smile Of
positive relief and beat a hasty retreat.

BRILLIANT CHURCH CEREMONY,
Celebration OF the Centenary OF the Historic
Baltimore Cathedral.

BALTIMORE, April 29.-The historic Balti-
more Cathedral, in which all the great
councils OF the Roman Catholic Church
in the United States have been held, was
to-day the scene Of the most brilliant and
picturesque ceremony since the opening
of the last plenary council.
The occasion was the celebration of the
centenary of the venerable edifice, and it
marked another notable event in the eccles-
~iastical career Of Cardinal Gibbons, who,
after serving as a priest at its altar. has
made it the seat Of his archbishopric and
c~ardinalate.
Ten thousand or more people, including
not only the faithful of the Catholic Church,
but men and women of every religious
faith, packed Cathedral Square, Charles
avenue, facing the Cardinals mansion,
and the adjacent streets to witness the
grand procession of the prelates from
Calvert Hall around the Cathedral to the
south entrance leading to the sanctuary,
preliminary to the ceremonies. Tit sun
shining upon the crosses borne in line and
the magnificent jewelled vestments of the
Archbishops and Bishops made a brilliant
picture.
Prominent priests and abbote and the
heads II religious orders from all parts Of
The country were in the procession, Mgr.
Falconio, the apostolic delegate, and Car
dinal Gibbons occupied the positions Of
highest honor in the distinguished gather
ing, and during the ceremonies sat upon
thrones facing each other in the sanctu-
airy before the main altar, resplendent
in hundreds Of lights and a profusion Of
the rarest flowers.
The Pontifcial high mass was celebrated
by Archbishop j. NJ. Farley OF New York,
the deacon being the Rev. 7. S. Lee of st.
Matthew's Church, Washington; the sub
deacon, the Rev. George W. Divine of st.
Johns, Baltimore. Archbishop Ryan Of
Philadelphia preached the centenary SER
mon.
After the mass a letter Of congratulation
to Cardinal Gibbons and to the Catholic
hierarchy of America from Pope Plus X.
was read from the altar. 1t bespoke good
wishes for the success and progress Of the
Church in this country and extended the
fluctuations of the Pope n the College Of
Cardinals.
Following the ~pontifcal mass was q
dinner in the great hall Of st, Mary's Semi
nary, at which the Cardinal occupied the
seat of honor, with Archbishop Williams Of
Boston, the oldest prelats in the American
hierarchy, on his right.
