MASS FOR MEN.
Archbishop Harry oficiates at st.
Alovsius Church.

Archbishop Harry of Manila, who is a
guest at st. Aloysius Church rectory ad-
dressed the men of the congregation at the
z o'clock mass in that church yesterday
morning. Through the efforts of Rev. Eu-
gen Del. Mcdonnell, S. j., one of the as
sistant pastors Of ST. Aloysius Church, the
mass for men exclusively on the third Sun
day of every month has come to be one Of
the most largely attended ceremonies at
that church. The ediice was filed yester-
day morning by the participants. Arch
bishop Harry celebrated the mass and af-
terward congratulated those present on
their devotion. He drew comparison be-
tween this and other countries, declaring
that abroad it was not possible to witness
such a scene. The churchgoing there he
said, is practically left to the women 1t
was encouraging, he said. and augured well
for a city and nation whose men are en-
dowed with Christian principles and prac-
ticed them.
Archbishop Harry sought the spiritual aid
of his hearers. He said there are 1000, 600
Catholics in the Philippines and that he
and the bishops of his archdiocese are
without sufficient clergy to minister to
them. He said 1t Is useless for priests to
go out from this country to the Philippines
unless they are prepared to partake of all
the rigors OF Asia, which include light
diet and lean purse.
The archbishop expressed the utmost con-
fdence in the future Of the Philippines and

eral thefts had been committed In the

McNamee make an investigation.
Holmes denied that he had stolen any
thing, but notes found in his pockets con-
WINGED the detectives that he knew more
than he would tell. They recovered three
chains, box Of gold and silver coins and

Standard Files Its Bill of Exceptions
to Ruling of Lands.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-The Inter-Ocean
today Y
Plans for the tremendous effort that
will be made by attorneys for the
Standard Oil company to have the
$29,24O,00O fine imposed by Judge
Lands wiped out by the United States
circuit court of appeals have been dis
closed.
Twenty-Five main points, each one of
which the attorneys will argue is suff1-
cient to have the record breaking fine
declared void, will be advanced when
the case comes to trial in January.
The principal Will be:
L. That the government attorneys
failed to inform the defense of the
Alton immunity agreement.
2. That the Elkins act, under which
the conviction was secured, was I'M
constitutional.
8. That as the Hepburn act was
passed before indictments were return
ed, prosecution under the provisions
of the Elkins law was illegal.
4. That Judge Lands did not COM
pute the number of violations cor
rectly.
5. That certain evidence should not
have been admitted.
6. hat the Standard Oil
accepted the rates in question with the
understanding that they were author
lied rates.
A copy of the bill has been given to
United States District Attorney Sims
and Special Assistant Attorneys Will
kerson and Parkin will this week begin
their study of the documents and make
their preparations to combat the argu>
ments advanced. The bill will not be
filed in the court of appeals, however,
before December.
Included In the bill as given to Mr..
Sims is a copy of Attorney General
Bonaparte's letter to the district attor-
ney which vas read in Judge Lands
court at the time the immunity matter
was finally disposed of. This states
that the agreement was made previous
to the beginning of the trial. The at
torneys argue that if they had been
Informed of the agreement under
which Alton officials took the witness
stand they would have questioned them
differently.
In attacking the constitutionality of
the Elkins act and in ~contending that
the passage Of the Hepburn law made
it unlawful to prosecute for violations
of the repealed E1kins measure the
Standard attorneys hop in the event
of a favorable decision to furnish a
basis for freeing the company from
numerous other suits pending.
1t will be contended that Judge Lam
dis failed to compute the humble or
violations correctly. Instead of each
shipment constituting a violation. the
defense will claim that eth err the num-
pany and the railroad or else the num-
Der of times the rate was granted
should be the only things counted.
In the one case the number of viola
tons would be about 800, while in the
other it would be reduced TO only
three. Convictions were secured on
1.462 violations.

WE EAT LESS MEAT.
Still the Annual Consumption Is 3

Washington, Oct. 21.-A capital of
SO, 625, O00, 900 is directly concerned in
the raising of meat animals and their
slaughtering and packing, according to
a report on meat supply issued by the
department of agriculture. This amount
is 1ve-sixths as large as all capital in
vested in manufacturing in 1904. Sew
e~n-eighths of the meat and meat pro-
ducts was consumed within this iii
try. The stock Of meat animals has in
creased since but has not kept pace with
the increase in the population.
The report adds:
That meat consumption per capita
has declined in this country since 1910

a Model Farm.

The writer enjoyed the privi-
lege few days ago of visiting the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Wal
ton, than which there is no more
delightful place in the county to
visit. We walked with Mr.. Walton
over his fertile fields and viewed
his magnificent crops. His fve-
acre field of corn about which
much has been said is a remark
able sight. 1t was planted, ferti-
lized and cultivated after the Will
Hanson method and will make
seventy-fve bushels per acre.
Alongside this fine corn is field
of cotton equally as fine. The field
contains sixteen acres ard MIR.
Walton has already ginned fifteen
bales from it, and will get ten or
twelve more. He expected to get
thirty bales from the sixteen ceres
but, like eyerybody's cotton, it
was cut short by the drought. Mr..
Walton not only knows how to
have the soil fertilized and titled
to the best possible advantage but
Re is a good manager also. Nearly
everything that is consumed on
the farm is produced at home.
Mr.. Walton says ne never bought
but two sacks of corn in his life
and that he sold fodder to get
the money with which to buy it.
Very few farmers in the county
can show such record.
