secret consistory today chiefly to create
nineteen French bishops in the dioceses

gle. He also preconized the Rt. Rev.
W. H. OConnell. coadjutor to the arch
bishop of Boston. as archbishop of Con-
stance, and the Rt. Rev A. s. Bernard as
bishop of ST. Hyacinth. Canada. The whole
ceremony was in a line with the vatican's
attitude toward France.
The pontiff delivered an allocution sum-
marking the ideas set forth in his recent
encycllcal showing that necessity hastened
it's appearance, las certain publications
may have deceived the faithful regarding
the real intentions and feelings of the holy
see" evidently alluding to the pastoral let
ter of Mgr. Bonomelli. archbishop of
Verona. who advocated the principle OF the
separation of church and state.
Much interest was displayed in the sud-
den presence in Rome of Cardinal Logue.
archbishop of Armagh and primate of all
Ireland, who arrived here on purpose to be
present at the consistory. and of Cardinal
Matthew, archbishop of Toulouse, who went
TO France TO attend the funeral OF Cardinal

MORE WORK FOR THE JUDGES?
DEATH FROM FOULPLAY
MYSTERIOUS MURDER OF YOUNG
MAN IN BRUSSELS.

NEW YORK, February 21.-That Alfred
NJ. Bard, nephew of former Senator Bard
of California, met his death in Europe by
foul play was the statement made by De-
tectiVe Sergeant John j. Fogarty who re-
turned to New York today on the steamer
iceland from Brussels, Belgium Fogarty
went to Europe six weeks ago to look for
the young man, who had been missing
for nearly two months. He brought back
part of Bard's effects, including two valu-
able violins, one said to be worth $1,000.
Young Bard went to Brussels In August
last year to study the violin. He intended
to return to New York on a steamer leav-
ing Antwerp on october 20 last His uncle,
Senator Bard, was at the pier to meet him
when the ship arrived, but he did not ap-
pear among the passengers.
Senator Bard then applied to the New
York police, who cabled to the Brussels
authorities, and the search for the young
man has been steadily pressed since that
time. When the European officials failed
to find the young man Senator Bard asked
that Fogarty be permitted to go abroad
to prosecute the search, and he was
granted six weeks leave of absence with
out pay. This leave later was extended
to March /.
Young French Woman in the Case.
In his capacity as a private detective
Fogarty was not obliged to report today
to the local headquarters the result of his
investigation, and none of the details Of
the search, therefore, We're available, as
Fogarty declined to make an extended
statement. He said, however, that when
he reached Brussels he learned that
young Bard had made all arrangements
to leave the Belgian city in October, ac-
cording TO his original plans
He withdrew $1,000 which he had on
deposit in a bank there but at the last
moment decided to postpone his departure
for one week. A French girl, with whom
the young man had become acquainted In
Brussels, was responsible for the post
ponement, the detective said.
At this point Fogarty declined to tax
further about the case. except to say that
young Bard was dead and probably was
murdered.

WILL NOT INTEKFERE E
PRESIDENT CONSIDERS MRS.
MORRIS EXPULSION JUSTIFIED.

An echo of the recent incident at the
White House, when Mrs. Morris, who had
called on behalf of her husband was thrown
out of the building, has just been made
public IN the shape of correspondence that
has passed between DR.. Morris and the
White House. DR.. Morris wrote to the
President on the 10th instant, calling his
attention to the affair and asking that a
public investigation and apology be made.
To this was returned a reply from Mr.
Loeb, the Presidents secretary, saying that
the matter had been fully investigated at
the time and the President declind to
take any further action in the matter. The
two letters follow:
To the President of the United States.
Sir.
Having waited a number of weeks that
you might have ample time to ascertain all
the circumstances connected with the in
suit recently offered my wife at the White
House and that you might make some eX-
preston of depreciation which would nat
urally be expected. 1t is now incumbent
upon me husband and citizen to demand
a public apology for this outrage on
womanhood and common decency.
1t is unthinkaible that such brutality
would be tolerated anywhere In this coun-
try. but above all in the White House.
That my wife has been confined to her
bed six weeks from the shock and injuries
of this damnable treatment is bad enough,
but l can say to you in all calmness that
had the original orders from the White
House been carried out as to her longer
Incarceration her life would have been
sacrificed. 1t is, therefore, incumbent upon
me to repeat my urgent request that you
take action at once suitable TO the cir
cumstances which have shocked the entire
nation.
Respectfully,
The New Willard, MINOR MORRIS,

THE WHITE HOUSE

Washington. February 10, 1906.
Sir: In reply to your letter of the 10th in
stant the President directs me to state to
you that he had the superintendent of po-
lice of the District of Columbia, Maj. Syl-
vester, make a careful investigation of the
circumstances connected with the arrest of
Mrs. Morris for disorderly conduct at the
executive office. and the superintendent sub
mitted to the President all the affida Wits
of the persons whom he had examined. The
President carefully went over Mai. Sylves-
ters report and the affidavits and also per
sonally saw Maj. Sylvester and some of The
persons making the affidaVits He came to
the conclusion that the arrest was justified
and that the force used In making the ar
rest was caused by the resistance offered
by Mrs. Morris to the officers in the dis
charge of their duty, and was no greater
than was necessary to make the arrest eff
fectiye.
Under these circumstances the President
does not consider that the officers are prop
erly subject TO blame He was also satisfied
that the kindest thing that could be done 10
Mrs. Morris and her kinsfolk was to refrain
from giving any additional publicity 20 the
circumstances surrounding the case

Two Men Implicated.

1t is the belief of DT. Brooks and the po-
lice that there were two men implicated In
the plot to rob the house. although Vincent
Gerard, the neighbor who was the first to
respond to the call for aid, did not see any
body leaving the premises. He was able to
enter the house by way of the front door,
that had been left open by the fleeing bur-
glars, and the first Lning that attracted his
attention after the gas had been lighted
was a revolver. The weapon had been
taken from upper room and put on the
rack in the hall in order that the occupant
of the house could not use 1t upon the in
truders in event of his being awakened
while they were in the house.
An examination of the premises showed
that an entrance had been effected by rails
Ing the kitchen window After entering the
house the burglars went to the front door
and unfastened it In order that there would
be more than one exit for them should 1t
become necessary for them to leave upon
short notice Having removed the weapon
and arranged the exits so that there would
be trouble experienced in getting out,
the burglars proceeded to the second floor
and started upon what was evidently in
tended TO be a wholesale robbery
Just how the iutruders operated while in
the rooms on the second floor is not known,
but the police think that they first visited
the room in which the physician was sleep
ing. He had not retired until after mid
night and il was natural to believe he
would sleep sufficiently sound not to be dis
turDed by them unless they made unneces-
sary noise. The physician aroused by
hearing his wife calling for help. and when
he reached her room he detected the odor
of chlorofOrm.
