THE CATHEDRAL CROWDED.
Papal Blessing Read At the Feast OF 81.
Francis Xavier.

ST. Patrick's Cathedral, according n
veteran priests of the diocese, never has
held such a throng as crowded its pews
and damned its aisles yesterday afternoon
at the celebration Of the feast Of st. Francis
Xavier, patron of the Society for the Propa-
CATION of the Faith.
The society was organized somewhat
more thai three years ago 10 raise mission
funds 10 supply the deficiency caused by
the enforcement of the act relating to
religious orders in Franc The Catholic
Church in France was the chief support
of the foreign missions before the act be-
cam operative.
The Rev. Father John J. Dunn, who has
done much of the work Of the society in
foreign fields, says that its contribution
% missions this year will be $50, 900. 1t
contributed only $1,000 in the first year of
it's existence, but its membership has
Jumped 10 $500 in Manhattan, and it recently
has been keeping Father Dunn mighty
busy counting the one cent pieces.
The seating capacity of the pews Of the
Cathedral is $500. This was supplemented
by 100 chairs. Every pew and chair was
occupied and all standing room filed before
the hour set for the beginning Of the cele-
bration. Father Dunn said he had sent
out 1000 invitations ana tnat ne DeIeVeu
at least 5000 persons had responded. The
multitude came chiefly to receive the cabled
blessing Of the Pope. which was read by
Mgr. Lavelle from the throne. This is the
message addressed to Archbishop Farley:
The Holy Father blesses in q particular
manner those who will take part in the annual
reunion of the Propagation of the Faith in the
Cathedral, New York. on Sunday, Defenders O.,
and expresses the hope that abundant fruits
may follow from it.
(SlRned) RAPHAEL MERRY DEL VAL,
Cardinal.
Mgr. Lavelle supplemented the message
with the declaration that plenary indul-
gence would be granted TO all present.
This, il was explained later, applied TO all
who had fulfilled their religious obligations.
The Pope's blessing was formally bestowed
later by Archbishop Farley while the inn
mense congregation stood with heads
bowed. The Archbishop was assisted by
the Rev. DIR. p. j. Hayes and Father Dunn.
After the singing of pontitical vespers the
Right Rev. Mgr. Joseph F, Mooney preached
the sermon. telling of the trials and tri-
umphs OF the Church. He eulogiZed st.
Francis Xavier and appealed to the Soci-
ETY. for the Propagation of the Faith to carry
| on in America the work that the Catholics
of France had been prohibited from doing

MoNTCLAIR, n. j.. Dec. o. Herbert L..
Dutch. the new principalof the HiEh School.
has undertaken to deal with secret societies
and fraternities in the school on a plan diff
fering from that of his predecessor, Ran
dali Spaulding, who is now superintendent
of Schools. A year ago the latter attempted
To abolish all secret societies in the schools
because of their undcmocratic tendencies.
He was unsuccessful, however, and the
fraternities are stin IA fIourI-hing a. ever.
Prof. Dutch has asked permission from
the Board of Education to send ont circular
letters 10 the parents of the students Of the
High school fully outlining the plans for a
complete modification of The existing SyS-
TEN.
BY the new method the societies would
he under certain rules and regulations and
there would be a hope that finally the pres
eut clannishnc~s would I've eliminated and
there would remain merely "A school league
to which any pupil might signify his or her
intention Of belonging and he taken in.
The plan in vogue to-day il 10 pick out
desirable members Of the f%raternitics long
before the student elect has reached the
High School. The cooperation Of tEe SUI
dents rs earnestly desired 10y Mr.. Dutch in
formulating his plans.

NO TRACE or INCENDIARIES.
HsIfwitted Boy Who Liked Fires Arrested.
but There's Nothing 10 SHOW His Guilt.

The police of the West Tooth street station
are looking for those responsible for Inc
supposed i~ncendiary fires Of Thursday
night. They came 70 the conclusion yes
terday morning hat one of the offenders
was a half witted nineteen-year old youth,
David Orr, who lives at l0l West Ninety
eighth street.
The boy confessed to Policeman Van
HOLE that he had lighted the fires at si9
and SOS Columbus avenue. Later in the
afternoon Capt. Burfeind examined the
boy and concluded that there was little in
the case TO fasten guilt upon the boy, al
though his simple minded character and
his expressed love of seeing fires and fire
engines puzzled the captain.
Policeman Van Hole found Orr wander
ing aimlessly around at Central Park West
and lO3d street abOut ? O'Clock yesterday
morning. He arrested him for vagrancy
and the boy gave his name as James Clark
Of 232 Fast T~wenty-third street. Rounds
man Watt appeared with the lad in the
West Side court, and told Magistrate Baker
that the boy had confessed to lighting two
of the fires, and had said that Thomas Orr
was responsible for the fire at Amsterdam
avenue and lO3d street. Magistrate Baker
remanded him 10 the Tooth street station
house until Tuesday.
Orr is a weak looking boy, with "A re-
ceding lower jaw and practically no chin,
open mouth and staring, eX~preSsionlc~S
eyes. Capt. Burfeind said yesterday after
noon that the lad old him that me lied to
the policeman in the morning about the
fires. The story he told, the captain said,
hadbeenc orroborat ed and no way pointed
to the boys guilt.
You're the fellow that set fire to all those
houses the OF her night, aren't yOuE' asked
Van HOLE, according to the boys story TO
the capt ain, and because he was afraid the
policeman would strike him if he said not
he had lei. the captain said. Orr said he
had been at two of Thursday fires and
told of circumstance which the captain
thought pointed to his innocence.
Thomas Orr. the boys younger brother,
told at he station house Of how David had
been half simple of mind for many years.
He described his brothers, infatuation for
fires and fire engines. He would Jump out
Of bed late at night TO follow the engines.
He said that his brother was in no way
responsible for Thursdays fires and that
morning because his father had come home
Saturday night half seas over and ordered
him out for "A slight orenCe. Capt. Bur

from Boston and sometimes from Washing
ton. Moodey had lived at the hotel for
several weeks last spring. when his Boston
relatives sent a man for him and took him
away.

ington relative on the long distance tele-
phone and asked him to mail him a check
so he would get it yesterday morning, ay-
ing his need was urgent. When he did not
receive it in the Q O'Clock mail he appeared
70 be greatly troubled. He walked toward
