Associated Press to The Evening Times,
Pittsburg. Pa, Dec. 20.-Fifty young
women students Of Washington Sem
mary, at Washington, Pa, one of the
most fashionable institutions of the
kind in western Pennsylvania, left for
their homes last night ON the Christ
mas vacation, all suffering more or
less from hysteria, following the dis
covery of many petty thefts and the
subsequent method of the principal to
find the culprit. The thefts were COM
mitted in one of the dormitories and
teachers as we'll as students suffered.
Articles of wearing apparel, as we'll
as money and jewelry have been miss
ing over a period of a week. Yester-
day when it came time to dismiss the
school, the boarders in the dormitory
were summoned to the chapel, where
the principal announced that not
student would be allowed to depart
for their homes until they and their
rooms had been searched for trace of

by visit of Bellamy Storer and
Thomas McDougall to Canton, where
long conference was held with the
president-elect, and the announcement
was then made that Storer was slated
for the French mission. A few days
later Archbishop Ireland was a guest
at the Storer mansion on Grandin
road, and following this was the an
nouncement that Storer had been con-
verted to Catholicism.
Saturday afternoon Archbishop
Ireland arrived in Chicago from st.
Paul, and had a long interview with
President-elect Mckinley. Saturday
evening Storer received telegram
from Archbishop ireland, which read
as follows:
"'Chicago, Dec. 19.-Long, pleasant,
and encouraging interview. Will write
fully from st. Paul.
Archbishop Ireland then returned
to st. Paul and ex-Congressman
Storer is awaiting a letter from him.
Owing to the efforts being made
by Storer, 1t is now thought that he
is aiming higher than the French mis-
sion, and that he either wants to go
to the Court of st. James or seeks
a cabinet position. At all events, it
is considered certain that Storer and
James McDougall were not able to
get the assurance from Mckinley
that Storer would receive the Office he
sought. Otherwise he would not have
found it necessary to send Archbishop
ireland to Chicago to see the presi-
dent-elect."

Kansas City, Dec. 20.-C. A. Proutv,
member Of the interstate commerce

morning from st. Louis, to continue

law, but to accept any construction

ICE COST $14 A TON
New York's Attorney General
Begins an Action Against
the "Ice Trust"

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Albany, N. Y, Dec. 20-Attorney
General julius Mayer, in the name of
the people Of the state of New York,
today began an action agains. the
American Ice company in the supreme
court of New York county for the
dissolution of the so-ca,,ed "ice
trust" A summons and complaint
issued here last night was forwarded
to the New York city representatives
of the attorney general for service
today on the proper officials of the
company.
The key to the ice situation in New
York city is pointed out as lying
in this company's control of the "ice
bridges" or landing depots, by which
means it is alleged the company is
enabled to fix the price of ice, result
ing last summer in an increase from
$1.20 ton at the bridges to IS and
$6 ton to independent dealers, who
are alleged to be controlled by the
company, and who supply the retail
trade. 1t is said that by the time ice
reached the poor customers, it cost
at the rate of from $40 to $14 ton.

on the statement of Bellamy Storer
which was fatty contradicted by
Mr.. Cortelyou-to the effect that the
late President Mckinley had used his
influence in an endeavor to secure the
red hat for Archbishop ireland has
brought to light many forgotten facts
in relation to the now famous con-
troversy.
1t would appear that neither Presi-
dent Roosevelt nor the late President
Mckinley was the first to become in
volved in the controversy in regard
to alleged efforts to have the st. Paul
prelate elevated to the cardinalate.
In leading daily papers of Aug. 6,
1892, appeared the following:

London, Dec 20.-There will be no
dissolution of parliament, as result
of the action of the house of lords in
defeating the governments education
bill. Although the rejection of this,
the main liberal measure of session,
is the most serious rebuff the Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman cabinet
has yet suffered, it is not regarded
as being sufficiently grave to neces-
state an appeal to the country.
Whether at the present moment, the
government could successfully appeal
to the nation on the educational bill,
is question on which even many lib
erals are in great doubt. The only
immediate effect of the step taken
by the upper house, therefore, will
be to give an enormous impetus to
radical agitation in favor of curbing
the veto powers of the peers, and to
furnish non-comformists with a new
gun and ammunition in their fight for
the disestablishment of the Church of
England.

ORDAINED IN 1856
Bishop Foley of Detroit Cele-
brates His Golden Jubilee
Today.

Associated Press to The Evening Times,
Detroit, Mich, Dec. Ordained
by Cardinal Patrizzi, vicar general of
Pope Plus TX, in the church of st.
John Lateran, Rome, n 1856, Bishop
John s. Foley of the Catholic diocese
Of Detroit, today reached the golden
jubilee anniversary of his ordination.
Beyond the receipt of numerous mes
sages Of greeting and good wishes
there was no special observance of the
anniversary. Next month, however,
when the time will be more conven-
lent for travel, it is planned to have
notable celebration of the jubilee,
to be attended by high prelates of the
church throughout America. In token
Of the jubilee the bishop is to be pre-
sented with subscription fund suffi-
cient to pay for the erection of the
new st. Francis home for orphan
boys, an institution in which he is
greatly interested.
Bishop Foley last month reached his
seventy-third year. He was born in
Baltimore, and his education was be-
gun in st. Mary's college in that city.
He was only 16 years old when he
graduated from the college with the
degree of bachelor of arts. In three
years more he was prepared for the
minor orders, which were admins
tered by Archbishop Kenrick. He was
too young for priestly ordination, so
Archbishop Kenrick sent him to Rome
for further studies. Two years later
he was ordained priest, and in 1888
he became bishop of Detroit.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 20.-Has
the general activity of the country
reached Washington? This is appar-
emily the case, for never before has
congress tackled so many details of
general administration at the begin
ming of short session. It was freely
prophesied that but little would be
accomplished beyond passing the ap-
preparation bills this winter, and
probably this will prove true, yet
questions are coming up daily for
discussion that will have moment
GUS bearing on future policies. In
fact, members of congress are "do-
ing business" instead of splitting
hairs as usual. The influence of the
big stick is shown pretty conclusively
and the concensus of opinion is that
while some matters have been brought
to the fore that might have been
relegated to future generations, yet
in the main the effect has been to re-
generate the entire government SER
vice.
The ship subsidy deal Is meeting
with hard shedding, regardless of the
plans laid for the enrichmd Of the

Fordney of Michigan, Birdsall of
Iowa, Hinshaw of Nebraska and Will
son Of Illinois have declared that they
will not stand for the measure, and
the list of finland" insurgents is
growing daily. There appears to be
an expression that as the great ma
jority of the American people never
saw the ocean, and are not affected
by shipping interests, there is no use
in catering to special class of busi-
ness men who have everything to
gain and nothing to lose. It would
sound grand for the postal authorities
to say that they could send letter
to Brazil in 'steen hours less time
than formerly, but when cables are
available letters are not the import
ant factor they formerly were.
1t is certain that movement for
a child-labor law will receive an i'm
petus this winter that will result in
a more or less effective federal regu-
lation of the subject. The labor
unions of the country have for years
been "hammering" on the matter, but
as usual the politicians are now TAX
ing the subject under consideration
and treating 1t as If a great discovery
had been made. Out in Nebraska a
student at the Nebraska university
