Four Years TO Be Required as
Theological COurse-GOOd VIII for
Greek Church Expressed-Organ-
lied Methods Proposed for COIIec-
tion of Peters Pence.

Presided over by Cardinal Gibbons, the
conference of archbishops of the Catholic
Church in America met in executive ses-
sion at the Catholic University yester-
day. and discussed questions Of vital i'm
portance to the clergy and laity of the
United States.
Aside from the general transaction Of
regular business it was decided TO put
into effect the instructions of the Pope
that all American seminaries develop and
maintain a four years course in the
ology.
Peters Pence" came in for extended
consideration. It was proposed to raise
this collection for the Pope by organ
ICED and stable methods.
Friendly to Quasi-secret Orders.
What was probably the principal busi-
ness transacted was the decision TO urge
upon all Catholics a liberal and sympa-
thetic attitude toward those quasi-secret
organizations that are not condemned by
the tenets of Cathoiicity.
Among those who attended the meet
ing were Archbishops ireland Of ST Paul,
Keane Of Dubuque, O'Connell of Boston.

natl. Glennon Of St Louis, and Blenk CT
New Orleans.

Of recognizing the Greek Lithuanian
Church was discussed. This church is

Stephen Ortesynsky-
Good VIII for Greek Church.
The archbishops evidenced good viii to-
ward the Greek Church and voiced the
sentiment that the Catholic hierarchy of
America would foster as far as possible
the development Of the sister religion
here.
On the motion Of Archbishop Glennon
the conference adopted a plan to have al
pastors Of the Catholic Church post in
conspicuous public buildings the order OF
services in their respective churches. This
action was taken 10 insure the obsery-
ance Of Sunday and holidays by those
Catholics who are obliged 10 travel. and
who in many cages are unable to attend
service because of the ignorance of the
location and time of worship.
In debating on the matter of the Catho-
lie census Of this country, the conference
instructed Archbishop Glennon 70 cOllabo-
rate in this work now compiled by the
government
Before adjourning Cardinal Gibbons

RAYNER FIXES DATE
Gives President Week to Con-
slider Stewart Case.
THREATENS APPEAL TO SENATE
Maryland Senator Takes Decisive
Action TO Bring About Definite
Conclusion of singular Case of Ex-
lied Artillery COIOnel-Stir I'm Con-
gress Promised if Appeal Is Taken,

From the present appearances, the sim
gular case Of Col. William F. Stewart,
Of the Coast Artillery Corps. will be aired
in Congress with a freedom Of comment
that will give the country something to
think about in these dun times.
Senator Rayner. OF Maryland, who has
become interested in the case OF the
exile Of Fort Grant" through the fact
that Col. Stewart is a Marylander and
a kinsman of the late Senator William
Pinkney Whyte, of Maryland, notified
President Roosevelt yesterday that IN
less Col. Stewards request for a COM
mlttee Of inquiry is granted, Mr.. Rayner
will offer a resolution for an inquiry by
the Senate Mr. Rayner told the PTesi-
dent that he would offer this resolution
next week unless he received a satisfac-
tory. response from the President in the
meantime.
Col Stewart has arrived in Washing
ton on his way back from ST, Augustine
Fla, to Fort Grant, Ariz-
Has Asked for Inquiry.
It is claimed by those who have taken
an interest IN the case Of Col Stewart
that he has made requests for a court of
inquiry TO investigate any charges that
may have been made against him, and
that such a request must be granted as a
matter OF right There are no formal
charges against this veteran officer, and
the most that his friends have been ar e
TO learn as 10 the reason for The acton
Of the President in sending him to Il re-
mote ungarrisoned post is that the War
Department regards him as a trouble
maker" who is untitled TO command.
There are indications that the Stewart
case will become celebrated. Most Of
those who ara likely to take up the
cudgels in Col. Stewards behalf are not
! personally acquainted with the officer,
and some Of them are willing TO conCede,
/ for the sake Of argument, that the War
/ Departments allegations that he is "a
/ trouble maker are true.
/ But they contend that il savors 100
much Of absoIutlsm 10 give a high-ranR-
/ ing officer OF the army the option Of go
! ing On the retired list or being ex'led TO
an abandoned military reservation more
/ than twenty miles from the nearest set
/ tlement, and TO refuse 10 him a hearing
