ter to be issued early in Lent by Bishop
Canev!n of the Pittsburg diocese of the
Catholic Lnurch, as we'll as other bishops,
will impose new marriage regulations
upon all Catholics. The letter will give
full force to the rescript of Pope Plus X

one parish shall marry residents of an
other parish.
The purpose is to throw around the mar
rfage ceremony greater safeguards Here
tofore the policy Of the church in America
has been quite liberal. To avoid the mar
rage of clipping couples. priests would re-
fuse to wed persons from another state,
but no prohibition has been placed upon
the union of couples from any parish with
in the state.
Under the new regulations, marriages
celebrated outside the parish of the resi-
dence of either me bride or groom will be
declared illicit. and will be possible only
by Misrepresentation. The marriage may
not be declared invalid. but it would be
clandestine and Illicit unless a special dis
pensation were procured. and the princi-
pals would be deprived of the benefits of
the church.
1.-THE law will be practically prohibitory
Of Opponents and of all ill-considered
marriages said clergyman here at
will place an additional obstacle in the
way Of the marriage of Catholics with

an With Name Like Mother.

PITTSBURG, January 8.-Because Of

negie will never want as long as Andrew
Carnegie is alive.
Several weeks ago, at his home in New

letter the writer stated that she was old
and very poor being in actual want She
said she had read in the newspapers OF his
founding a school in Pittsburg in the
memory of his mother and that the name
had attracted her attention, for 1t was the
same as her own.
She did not claim any relationship. In
fact, she explained that II was impossible
they could be related, but she thought he
might be interested in knowing that
woman who bore the Slme name as his
mother was in actual want
Mr.. Carnegie wrote to his agent here
and asked that he personally make a thor
ough investigation. The agent hurried to
the Indiana town and found that the case
was exactly as stated by the writer of
the letter. Mr.. Carnegie thereupon made
provision for the immediate needs Of the
woman and placed her on his pension list
for life.

Tower was worth. according to the az
fdavit of his client, about $7.lOO, 900.
and that he had not contributed toward
mrs; Towers support for two months.
E. lie Barber of Manhattan appeared
for Mr.. Tower, and he opposed the
granting of alimony. alleging that all
the charges in the complaint were false

Mr.. Morschauser in his argument de-
clared that Mr.. Tower had a yacht on
which he employed twenty men. and

ATTELL RIGHT IN
REFUSING MORAN

NEW YORK, January 6.-Ever since
Abe Attell refused to give Owen Moran,
the English featherweight, return
match fight critics from all over the
country have taken occasion to roast
the American title holder. Atten has
been accused OF being afraid of Moran
and of preferring to pick lemons" rather
than fight the sturdy little rnSlishman.
Notwithstanding all the adverse COM
ment, under the circumstances Attelrs
decision not to hght the Brttisher Ia the
correct one. Just after their battle at
Colma no one was more willing for
raturn match than Attell. But Moran,
nusbed with his success in staying to the
end with the champion. immediately be-
gan TO try to dictate terms.
Moran demanded that the weight
should be 100 pounds three hours before
the fight. This would make Moran's &C.
tual weight In the ring 123 or 128 pounds
In other words. he would have hghtine
advantage of about four pounds over
AttelI. for the American fighter rarely
goes above 10 pounds, even when he Is
out of training. and 1t would be prac-
tically impossible for him to take on
even one pound in three hours. Even II
he did take on weight he would have to
force himself to do 80 and would only
sacrifice his speed, without gaining any
thing in strength.
Attell is the featherweight champion
and he fights as q featherweight. II he
were to allow Moran to weigh four
hounds over the limit he might as vel
let him weigh ten or twenty pounds more
than the legitimate weight, which. by al
rules and traditions of the ring, Is IL.
pounds rinsside for featherweights. Thu
title cuold not be won or lost by a man
weighing more than TO pounds at the
time the fighting begins.
Some critics maintain that inasmucf
as Moran held Attell to draw while
both weighed about 100 pounds in the
ring he would be able to beat him a,
a greater weight. Whether he could o,
not. he certainly should be able to. Il
is a safe bet that when any two mer
who are equally clever and experienced
fight the one that Is the heavier viii
win.
Attell is a champion because he is 81
much stronger. cleverer and faster at II.
pounds than any other man in the worit
at the same weight. Atten could no,
whip Joe Cans. although he Is every bi
as fast and clever as the negro Blu
win for him. Unless Moran wants t.
fight at the legitimate feathcrweigh
| limit. To- pounds. he must admit tina,
AtteIl is better than he Is at that weight
And that Is the only weight that TIN,
featherweight championship can right
fully be. won or lost at.
| AS soon as Moran fights at a heayie,
weight than 100 pounds he ceases to b,
a feather weight. and he should not ex
pect any real featherweight to allow hin
] any advantage in ayoirdupois.

WARM CRITICISM
FOR ATHLETIC UNION

Horace Fogel in the Philadelphia Tele-
graph, has the following to say about the
suspension Of the George Washington and
Yale basket ball teams:
1t Is extremely unfortunate that this
year should see recurrence of suspefl-
sion Of college basket ball teams for play
Ing suspended or non-registered teams. To
date Princeton. Yale, George Washington
and Trinity College have felt the displeas-
ure Of the A. A. u, and If this organize
ton does not recede from its position sus-
pensions are likely to follow. President.
James E. Sullivan, In recent interviews.
has intimated that many of the colleges
are guilty of unfairness toward amateur
athletics and to this attributes the fire.
quent suspension of their teams. As a
matter of fact. the college men do not
care a snap Of the finger for the A: A. u.
disqualif1cations In basket ball. And for
this condition the A. A. Z. has none to
blame but itself. The A. A.. U, is years
behind the times In basket ball, and does
not begin to exercise the control or good
sense that characferizes 1t in track and
field athletics. g.
The fact that the college men have been
basket ball and substitute sone of their
own indicates why the A. A. IT, is 80 un-
popular in basket ball. II the A. a. L.
cannot or will not provide suitable game
for those amateurs who want to play
basket bail 1t ought not to expect any
support from them. The colles1ans always
get into trouble with the A. A. U. during
their preliminary season, when in order
to make up a good schedule they play
some teams that are not registered with
the A. A. u. and the suspensions follow.
There is no good reason for the lack OF
harmony that prevails between the A. A.
U. and the colleges. The latter pay little
or no attention to the suspensions any
how, and the clubs are the ones that sur
fer. Now, If this body would enter into
some sort of an agreement with the In
tercollegiate Basket Ball Association much
Of the trouble would be dbviated. But II
the two continue to move along in parallel
lines these troubles will only multiply.
The I. c. A. A. u. 8. has made an Of
fort to bring some sort Of order out Of
all this chaos by passing a resolution to
the effect that all the colleges In the asso-
citation observe the amateur rules and
regulations of the A. A. U. In their regu-
lations. tits all very well to endeavor to
bring about harmony, but the association
should insist that the A. A. U. basket ball
solons get together and reform their game
so that the athletic clubs are not tempted
to leave the A. A. U. for style Of game
which they can play with pleasure and
profit.

Want 'Chases Abolished.


Racegoers are clamoring for the abol-

at the City Park track. These races are
no longer attractive to the patrons of the
race courses here. So much scandal has
been attached to them and SO few have
been won on merit that the crowd now
scarcely bets o. one of them. The in
and-out running of Full of Fun and the
suspension of his jockey nave served to
add fuel to the scandalous talk, which is
to the effect that 80 per cent Of the cross
country races are ''shoo ins' for the horse
selected by the jockeys.
The Crescent City Jockey Club abol-
ished the jumping races three years ago

Of his suspension. Many trainers believe
that his punishment was too severe. Lam
