CATHOLIC MEETING
SOCIETIES OF AMERICAN FEDERA-
 TION IN SESSION.
The Opening Business Session Was Pre- ceded by Solemn High Mass
 of Requiem for De-
 ceased Members.

Boston. Mass. Aug. 1o.--The conven- tion of the American Federation of Catholic societies was formally opened today by business session, preceded by solemn high mass of requiem for deceased members.
 The morning session at Symphony Hall was occupied chiefly in the pre- sentation of the reports of National President Edward Feeney of Brooklyn, and National Secretary Anthony Matre of St. Louis.
 President Feeney stated that the Federation had done much toward se. curing compensation for damage done to church property in the Philippines and had assisted in pressing the charges against Judge Wiifiey of the U. S. court in China.
 Secretary Matre's report dealt partic- ularly with the school question. argu- ing that the Federation ought to share the school funds for the secular work done in Catholic schools. The Feders- ton, he said. had aroused sentiment against the granting of divorces.
 The Catholic press and societies have iolned In. fighting socialism and this activity, he said, has forced socialist leaders to come out in the open and fight.

BANQUET TO SHERRY
AND OFFICERS or AMERICAN BAT
 TLEsHIP FLEET.
The Prime Minister of New Zealand, Proposed 6 Toast to King Ed- ward and President The0-
 dore Roosevelt.

Auckland. Aug. 10.-The Government gave a banquet to Rear Admrail Sper- ry and the officers of the American battleship fleet now anchored in this harbor at the drill hall tonight.
 There were 750 persons in attendance and the affair was carried out on a magnificent scale. The hall was taste- fully decorated with flags. the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes being everywhere conspicuous. The Prime Minister of New Zealand. Sir Joseph George Ward, proposed toast to King Edward and President Roosevelt, dur ing the course of which he said:
 'Each Is a born ruler richly endowed with common sense and a great, ard ent lover of his country and peSpie Each is a peace maker. The American navy is one of the greatest and most eficient forces in the world. We are proud of Admiral Sperry's visit and no fleet save @ British one, Is so well come"
 When the commander-in -in-chief arose to reply to the Prime Ministers toast, he received a tremendous ovation In his speech he said that while the navy hoated no enemy could catch New Eng lands shores. He recalled the time when the Americans were told that they had the strongest navy In the world-when they had seven rotten monitors. He was very hopeful now because so many gallant young officers were growing up in the navy, which owed so much to President Roosevelt. The fleet. the Admiral said. had devel- oped homogenity and it's present cruise had enlarged tho benefits of naval training. He could safely say there was nothing nearer to the heart of President Roosevelt than the cordial welcome extended by New Zealanders to the fleet and he was confident that it was agreeable to the King.
 Vice-Admirai Sir Richard Poore, com mander of the Australian squadron. re- plying to a toast to the British navy, cordially welcomed the American fleet to the Australian section and said he was proud of the opportunity to have his own name coupled with that of Admiral Sperry.

LUMBERMEN TOGULF
MONTHLY MEETING or AssoCIA-
 TION IN PENSACOLA.
Secretary Eddy in Party En Route From Birmingham, Scouts Prose- eutions of so-Called Lumber Octopus--Meet Next in
 OmfgOmery.

Local iuu1bermen left last night for Pensacola to attend the regular month ly meeting of the Aiabama-West Flor ida Lumber Manufacturers Association to be held today. The meeting Is ex- pected to be one of the most enthusl- astic gatherings of this body In many months. Advances In lumber of 50 cents or more will be reported from the various sections of the country.
 Among the party from the northern end of the State was J. H. Eddy, Sec retary of the Association. Mr. Eddy is one of the real "steadies" of the lum- ber circles. Wherever there is to be a meeting of the Association one may be sure to see his alert eye in the midst. There are many effective organizations In which secretaryship means a hun dredfold more than in other associa- tions. That may be said to describe Mir. Eddy's relationship with the or- ganized lumbermen. Presidents may come and Presidents may go but MT. when inducements minds run hardly to the contrary.
 No one scouts the idea of a lumber trust more than Secretary Eddy. He believes, like most other lumbermen, that the crusades against the supposed lumber trust are born of political exi- geney. The physical impossibillty of q buCCesSLui Jumper complne IS pointed out. The small per centage of the mill men who are members of the organi- zatIons in existence In the United States Is sufficient argument. 1t Is said, to dis prove any sinister motive whenever the lumbermen get together for mutual ex- change of views.
 In Alabama there are approximately $50 lumber mills. There Is but one lumber organization of any conse- ouence for the absorption of these mills and this is the Alabama-West Florida Lumber Manufacturers Association. This body has enrolled a membership of only about ffty-five. Probably the average attendance on the meetings will not excel twenty-five.
 It Is said In vindication of the lum- bermen that they cannot control the demand for sure. and that 1t is as hard for mill operator to be cotrolled in his output as the farmer in the plant ina of his acreage.
 The chief topic again at today's meeting in Pensacola will probably be
 cost" The aim of the Association has for many months been to evolve a unl- form cost sheet for the manufacturer.
