man is a Catholic from choice. and he
is consequently devoted to his church
and Jealous IN its service. 1t Is quite
different in other countries, where the
Church is part of the Government AMI
membership in 1t more or less compul-
sorry. Everyone in Europe recognizes
.tat under the free conditions in this
country the Roman Catholic Church is
having a better and more vigorous
growth than 1t has in Europe, and this
of the old regime. The Italians. who
have forever maintained a membership
of about thirds of the Sacred Col
lege, are particularly Jealous and dis
trustful of the growing influence of the
American Catholics, and fear. with rea-
son, that their long intrenched power
may be taken away from them. This
Is powerful reason why Archbishop
Ireland may not be made a Cardinal.
Next comes the jealousies of the
South American countries. Every one
of them thinks that 1t deserves Car
dinaI quite as much as America, and
there is the strongest pressure being
put upon the Pope to create Cardinals
for Brazil. the Argentine, Peru. Chile.
Mexico. Venezuela and Colombia. If
one of those countries is given a Car
dinal a similar favor must be extended
to all the rest. which Is impossible in
the present frame of mind of the great
majority of the Italian Cardinals. The
College of Cardinals now numbers SO,
of whom 80 are Italians. six Spaniards,
two Germans, six French, one Belgian.
three Austrians, two Irish. one Bohe-
mian, one Hungarian and one Amerl-
can. We shall all nope, however, that
some turn will bring TO Comrade John
Ireland the coveted Red Hat which we
all desire for him.

CONGRESS AND SPELLING REFORM.

CONGRESS- AND SPELLING REFORM.
The House Committee on Appropria-
tions has made serious mistake in
declining to follow the Presidents lead
in the matter OF spelling reform 1t has
adopted the following provision:
Hereafter in printing documents
authorized by law. OF ordered by
Congress. or either branch thereof
the Government Printing Office shall
follow the rules of photography estab-
lished by Webster's and other generally
accepted dictionaries of the English Ian
guage."
It Is said that 1t expects that this
provision Will be adopted by the House
| without trouble and pass the Senate
! with equal facility. This is unfortunate
in double sense. In the first place,
spelling reform is here. The people
are intensely tired of the old cumbrous
system and look for the beginning of
a sensible modification. which the Pres
ident with his usual keen prescience as
! to the peoples moods and wants has
recognized and put himself at the front.
| It is these things which make him a
real leader. The action of the commit
tee is simply old fogyish, retroactive and
purblind. 1t will not avail. even IL It is
adopted by both Houses. for the move
ment for spelling reform will become
so manifest and decided that the next
Congress will In all probability reverse
| the action of this. The less dignified
1 view of It Is that It is another one of
those manifestations of splenetic op-
position to the Presidents suggestions
and acts such as do not tend to increase
the estimation in which Congressman
are held. Nearly every Republican
Senator and Representative is more or
less out of touch with the President and
restive under his aggressive dominance
In private conversation they will ex-
press themselves freely in criticism and
real condemnation of things that they
eventually come to support. They do
this because they see that the trend OF
popular favor is Enthusiastically behind
the President, and it Is good policy for
them to come into line. In the mean
while. however, they Go a great deal OF
kicking, and this action in favor of the
old spelling is one Of their characters

GRATEFUL TO LOS ANGELES
Archbishop Montgomery of San Franz
cisco Thanks AngeIenos for Aid
Given Sufferers

P. j. McGarry returned yesterday
from San Francisco, where he took a
consignment of tents forwarded by
Bishop Conaty to Archbishop Mont
gomery to be used for church purposes
and relief work. He also took funds
from the diocese of Monterey and Los
Angeles to be used for the relief work.
Mr.. McGarry states that Archbishop
Riordan of the San Francisco diocese
is assisting in the relief work.
"The seminary at Menlo Park" said
Mr.. McGarry (which was practically
the crowping effort of Archbishop
Riordans life, was destroyed, and plans
have not been formulated to rebuild
as yet.
archbishop Montgomery expresses
much gratitude to the people of Los
Angeles for the prompt relief rendered
the stricken city, and also to Gen.
Wankowsll and members of his staff
for the quick forwarding of supplies"

SAYS GROCERS HAVE
BEEN MOST GENEROUS
HEAD OF ASSOCIATION ANSWERS
CRITICISM
Money and Foodstuffs to Extent Of
$1,000 Given by Members-Rercent-
age Of Benefit to Go to Relief Of
Stricken City

At recent meeting of the Retail
Grocers' association it was reported by
one of the members that the grocers
had been criticized in some quarters
because they were not known to have
donated anything for the relief of San
Francisco sufferers. The justness of
the criticism was Immediately investi-
gated by the association and with most
satisfactory results. In an interview
yesterday Secretary Paulding made the
following statement:
"The grocers have bean most generous
in their gifts, but no publicity has
been given to the fact. There were
thirty-five reports given last night, and
In each case it was found that each
retail grocer had donated in goods and
money from five to seventy-five dollars.
We have found but two grocers in the
city who have refused to give. We esti-
mate that the retail grocers of Los An
geles have contributed in goods and
money at least $4,000. We have not felt
that it was necessary to publish the
fact"
The Retail Merchants exchange is to
give a benefit in the Belasco theater
on the evening of May 1. A large per-
centage of the receipts is to be turned
over to the San Francisco relief fund.

TO BE COAST METROPOLIS
Best Class Of Refugees Think Los
Angeles viii Soon Be Leading
City of Pacific

Refugees from San Francisco, IL
great number of them representing the
highest class of tourist trade who are
now registering at the best hotels in
the city, are of the opinion that it will
be many years before San Francisco
will be the city that 1t was in the past
In fact many of them declare that sew
eral of the larger merchants are
anxious to get away from the locality
and commence business in other cities
Los Angeles is the first city spoken
of as the coming metropolis of the
Golden state. The large number of ar
rivals here daily is regarded as proof
of this. Los Angeles, they say, has
been forging ahead to greatness during
the past five years that has virtually
marked it as the coming city of the
Pacific coast.
Architects say that the catastrophe
in San Francisco has taught the i'm
portance of not only steel structures,
but of the great Importance of erecting
buildings that are entirely earthquake
proof The so-called anchored build
ings are referred to particularly by the
architects, while the keyed buildings
are also spoken of as the only method
of guarding against disaster from earth
quakeS.

Special to The Herald.
HOLYOKE, April s8. Telephone
owners here are in high dudgeon over
resulted from the mixing of the names
and numbers in the latest published
telephone directory. Wrong numbers
have been set opposite names, and in
some cases the same number has been
placed after two subscribers names.
Again, in the muddled directory,
mans Office and his house numbers
were interchanged, and some OF the
conversations that followed made the
household venomous toward the direc-
tory, and toward other persons and
places.
Plumbing Inspector Avery's number
is identical with that of we'll known
druggists house. The apothecary's
wife received six orders for plumbing
early the other morning. She became
indignant, and called up her husband.
The latter, after hearing what his
wife had to say, slammed on his hat
and started on a man hunt for the man
ager of the telephone exchange.
The phone in the house of prom
nent minister tangled fiercely about IL
o'clock one night last week, and the
minister's wife answered. The person
on the other end of the wire was ex-
cited and a feminine voice exclaimed
impetuously 1T think it just awful of
you not to meet me tonight when you
said9you would! l waited on the dark
corner for you most half an hour. You
aren't nearly as nice to me as you
used to be and 1 think you've stopped
caring for me. You don't need to think
I'm going to break my heart over you,
so you don't!"
Va ious and sundry suspicious f1oated
through the mind Of the minister's
wife. oh, my
what number are you calling?' she
finally asked the neglected person on
the wire.
She was told and replied that there
was a mistake.
'It gives that number in the book,
anyway" was the response, and the
receiver crashed down.
A farmer who had been held UP and
robbed by a pair of yeggmen heard
| over his own phone a tip given to one
of the highwaymen to 'skiddoo," as
the cops were hot after him. The farm
er might have got a clue to the iden-
tity of the fellow if his anger hadn'
overcome his prudence and caused him
to yell swear words at the yeggman.
The phone company bears the brunt
of all these complaints with saint-like
patience, and the books are being cor
rected as fast as the mistakes crop
out,

BABY PIG BLOCKS TRAFFIC
Escapes From Owner in a Street Car
and a Lively Chase and
Much Delay Results


NEW YORK, April 2S.-A baby pig
caused much commotion on a south
bound Sixth Avenue car yesterday
afternoon at Thirty-eighth street,
stopped traffic on that line for ten
minutes, threw the feminine passengers
into a quiver of excitement and caused
Tim McCarnahan of 159 West Thirty
second street to lose most of his re-
ligion.
McCarnahan was doing some masonry
work in the Bronx, he said, when the
sight of little fat pig running about
powerfully that he couldn't help buy
ing the sqealer. He reasoned that to
tie the pigs legs or mouth would cause
him pain and produce commotion. So
he simply stuck a large pager bag
over his purchase and started home.
Tucked under McCarnahan's arms the
pig seemed entirely satisfied. BY the
time he reached Thirty-eighth street
McCarnahan had lost his fear and his
caution. The car stopped with a jerk,
the pig burst through his paper cover
ing and jumped to the floor, while Nc
Carnahan yelled to close the doors.
The doors were closed quickly and
McCarnahan began n chase of his prize.
The women passengers sidestepped hys-
teriCally and screamed. The motorman
and the conductor came in to help. The
passengers got all tangled up and Nc
Carnahan became angry.
y"I'll roast the little divvil this night
an I'll walk home from here with i'm"
he announced when he captured the
pig. No one tried to prevent him from
walking the rest of the way.
