FAVOR DEPARTMENT
Of ALL "FRATS"
School Societies Denounced
by Principals and Three
Members of the Board
WILL ACT NEXT WEEK

The debarment Of fraterha1 societies
from the high schools of this city was
the principal question discussed at the
meeting of the Board of Education
yesterday and resulted in the entire
matter going over for one week for
discussion before the high school COM
mittee, of which former President Alt
mann is president. There were several
high school principals present, who
voiced their sentiments, as well as sew
eral students.
Principals Scott, O'Connor and Sykes
favored the abolition of the Greek-let-
tered fraternities on the ground that
their existence fostered class spirit,
which was not in harmony with the
democratic principle on which the
school system was founded. Principal
Walter Bush of the Polytechnic High
School was of the opinion that students
had right to form themselves into
secret societies.
President Walsh Of the board strong
ly favored the abolition of the sorori-
ties and fraternities on the ground that
frivolities. Superintendent Roncovieri
took the same ground stating that in
his supervision of the schools he had
noticed the injurious effects of the va
rious secret societies. School Director
Altman also was opposed to the Sc
cret organizations on the ground that
they as a whole could be of no possible
benefit to the school itself. School Di-
rectors Oliver and Boyle had not made
UP their minds, but will take further
testimony before rendering an opinion.

BERKELEY, Jan. 24.-The work of
eliminating fraternity members from
offices in the various student associa-
tions of the Berkeley High School, in
Guiding athletic, debating and musical
organizations, as ordered by the Board
OF Education, is proceeding under Prin-
cipal James direction. Students have
been formally notified that they must
relinquish fraternity membership or
give up places in the student organiza-
tfons
The Forum Debating Society was to
have elected officers today. Principal
James asked that the election be de-
ferred for several days until the status
of pupils as fraternity and nonfraterni-
ty members could be ascertained, and
this was done.
The fraternity men will meet for
conference at Arthur Haynes home on
Haynes father. Brewton A Hayne is to
give the frat" men the benefit of legal
counsel He was formerly Town At
torney of Berkeley. He said today:
Il do not understand just how the
Board of Education is going to enforce
it's ruling. The fraternities do not
use the name of the high school in
their organizations. 1 do not see how
the board can by any right or reason
bar them from participating in school
activities"

Els CARE or sEMINARY

Archbishop Montgomery had always
taken a special interest in the diocesan
seminary. He visited IL once each week
to lecture to the students and had al
ways expressed a deep feeling for the
welfare of the institution. He was
ready always to give the students the
aid Of his experience and human sym
pathy. and ever showed an individual
interest in those who were to be the
future priests OF the diocese. He re-
garded this work OF preparing suitable
men for the priesthood as the most
important duty of a diocesan. There
were those present yesterday who re-
membered his having said to them that
the strength of a church was shown
by her ability to raise up youth to lead
the religious life of the parishes. He
believed that the priesthood of the
State should be recruited from anon g
her own sons and that il was a sign
of weakness when it was necessary TO
bring priests from abroad. Inspired
by these motives Arch bishop Montgom-
cry had devoted much of his time TO
the seminary at Menlo Park, and the
requiem intoned by the seminarians
yesterday had a deeper significance for
this reason. He himself. during all of
his lifetime. had never been outside the
borders Of this country.

cal campaign makes the alliance with
the farmers Of Importance in a political

MASS CHANTED FOR
LOVED PRELATE
Memory of Late Archbishop
Montgomery Is Honored
by Priests and Students
SCENE Is IMPRESSIVE

st. Patricks Theological Seminary at
Menlo Park honored the memory of the
late Archbishop Montgomery by a SOL
enln requiem mass which was cels-
brated yesterday in the chapel Of the
seminary.
The impressive nature OF the sery-
ices was enhanced by the fact that only
priests and the eighty seminarians
were present. The room was draped
in black and a catafalque surrounded
by lighted candles was in place before
the steps of the altar. On the ca
tafalque rested the vestments of the
dead prelate-his rochet and stole of
episcopal purple.
Archbishop Riordan, attended by
Father NJ. d. Connolly, sat on the gospel
side Of the altar, the archbishop wear
ing his cassock during the first part
of the service. The celebrant OF the
mass was Rev. Henry Ayrinhac. as
sisted by Rev. John w. Sullivan as
deacon and Rev. John Burns as sub
deacon.
The seats in the body Of the chapel
were taken by the priests and the stu
dents of the seminary, wearing the
white surplices OF their order and
each holding a lighted candle. A SOL
emn dignity marked the moment when
the sacrifice of the altar was offered
with the prayers Of the priests and
theologians, and the unmoving flames
Of a hundred candles typified the peace
Of the dead.
CHANT GREGoRIAN MASS
The music of the mass was the
Gregorian hymns chanted by seminar
ians and clergy, and simplicity charac-
terized the sacred office. The male
voices accompanied by the chapel organ
rang on the stiffness Of the hallowed
place as the inyocations and the bowed
heads of the worshiping priests be-
spoke their sorrow for the lost leader.
At the close Of the mass Archbishop
Riordan was vested in the black cope,
the catafalque he gave the last abso-
luton, sprinkling the catafalque with
holy water. In this part of the serv-
ice he was assisted by the Rev. Fathers
P. ]. Cummings and NJ D. Connolly.
Among the local priests who attended
the mass were the Rev Fathers d. o.
Crowley. p r. Lynch, P. s. Casey, Cor
nelius z. Kennedy, D. Lane, ]. P. Mo-
ran, D. O'Sullivan, Charles A Ramm, F.
Dugan. NJ Slattery. J. ]. McCue, Max
millian Neumann, 0. F. N; F. G. Can
non, J. P. Piorano, ]. Guivert, S. M;
Joseph P. McQuaide, Philip Ryan and
the Very Rev. NJ. Borghino. They left
the city on the 9 o'clock train and re-
turned in the afternoon.
In speaking of the services, Arch
bishop Riordan said that the mass had
been arranged by the clergy of the
seminary and that this was the requiem
mass OF the seminary for the prelate
whom they had loved.

itchy, and l could not keep from
scratching them. l had to keep both
hands bandaged all the time, and at
night l would have to scratch through
the bandages as the itching was so
severe, and at times l would have to
tear everything off my hands to scratch
the skin. could not rest or sleep. l
had several physicians treat me but
they could not give me a permanent
cure nor even could they stop the itch
ing. After using the Cuticura Soap,
one box of Cuticura Ointment and two
bottles of Cuticura Resolvent for about
six days the itching had ceased, and

New Method Of cutting Steel.

A new method of cutting steel is
said to have been patented by a Bel
gian engineer. The process consists
in first heating the metal by means of
an oxyhydrogen flame and then cut
ting it by a small stream of oxygen
gas, which unites with the steel and
forms fusible oxide, which flows
freely from the cut. 1t is said that
the cut is fully as smooth as that
made by the saw. and is only 1-10O
