Catholic Priest Would Not Permit Hi- , bernlans to Attend Funeral.
 Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 7.--Members of the Ancient order ef Hibernians. were stirred today by the refusal of the Rev. D. I. McDermott, rector of St. Mary's Roman Cath olic Church, to per- init funeral services to be held in his church over the remains of John Daly, a parishioner. because a Hihernian n Lodge had been invited to attend the obseduies.
 The funeral was to have been held yesterday but was postponed. Father McDermott said he would permit the funeral to take place from St. Mary's. only on condition that the invitation to the HibernianS be revoked. The widow of Daly agreed and in the funeral mo- tice printed today, 1t was stated that "the invitation to the Ancient Order of Hibernians to attend the funeral is hereby revoked" The funeral was held from the church today without the presence of the Hibernians.
 Father McDermott in explanation of his opposition to tho society. said:
 My absolute opposition to the An cient Order of Hibernians Is based on my knowledge and the facts in my pos- session about the Molly Maguires, which I got directly from condemned Molly Maguires themselves. No power on earth will ever make me recede one inch from my stand against the Hiber- nians. I have given my testimony against them and what I said was true and is true, and I cannot compromise on it.'s

FOR HIGHER PRICES
FARMERS OF OUTH DISCUSS HoLD-
 ING OF THEIR COTTON.
The Annual Convention Of The Farm CTS Educational And Co-Operative Union Opens In Memphis,
 Tennessee.

Mamuhis. Tenn, Jan. 7.-The annual concention of the Farmers Educational and Co-Operative Union met here to- day for a session of three days.
 About 300 delegates, representing every Southern States and those or Missouri, Kansas and Washington, are in attendance here. The rapid growth of the union since It's organization, nve years ago, has attracted much atten- tion in all parts of the country and the convention now in session will dls- cuss matters of vital interest to farm CTS in all sections. The meetings are being held behind closed doors.
 c. S, Barrett, of Union City, Ga. the president of the union, arrived ear ly today and called the convention to order. One of the most important suo- iects to be discussed Is the advisa- bility of an organized effort to reduce the acreage of cotton. The question of holding cotton for higher prices will be discussed.
 Before calling the convention to orr der. President Barrett said:
 I've are here for business and one of the most important things we hope to accomplish is to get fifteen cents for cotton, and we are going to get it if we have to hold 1t from the mar ket for years. I will not say how much cotton we arc holding back at InC pTcSSu| SA4hOs
 Many of the largest planters in the South and Southwest are in attendance. Besides planning for the reduction of the cotton acreage, the convention is considering steps to make practicable the holding of cotton by those who are not in shape financially to walt months for their money.
 Numerous suggestions have been made along this line. One which has been discussed at some length was warehouse certificates for stored cot ton as the basis of a bond issue. These bonds would be sold to those mern- bers of the union who had the ready money to spare. A fair rate of inter- est would be fixed, the bonds to mature in twelve months.
 While the members of the union would be glad to take these bonds, they would also be offered to such banks as might desire them. In all cases, the interest would make them a desirable investment.
 The effect would be to band all the sections more closely together by the forming practically of big company with all members vitally interested in the price of cotton.
 Another proposition being discussed is [ the forming of regular stock company, and to issue stock with stored cotton as the basis.
