 MORE CATHOLIC PRIEST.
0nrdinal GlbhOns Has Assumed ths Burden of Paying Father Ei- hertsS Debts Which Amount
 t~ a Large Sum.

Baltimore, March 11.-rhe revela- ttons published today concerning the financial ventures of Rev. Caspar P Ebert recently resigned from the rec torship of St. Catherine's Roman Ceth- olic Church, have caused sensation h Catholic circles.
 Cardinal Gibbons has assumed the burden of paying Father Elberts debts. which 90 far as disclosed, amount to about SI30,o0o. exclusive of church dsbt of $2s.o00 The obligations is- sued to banks and individuals range from S1,ooo to S10,o0o and were all signed by Father Ebert as pastor of St. Catherine's Church. He had lie insurance to the extent of $70.0o0, but had borrowed heavily on his policies.
 According to an of1cial statement from Cardinal Gibbons. little of the money raised by Father Ebert was used for church purposes.
 'Soms of it went" he said. "to pay premiums on life and accident insu- sAncs." The balance went into vision ary financial schemes by which he ex- poets to realize large profits. There Is no indication that the money was spent for any improper purposes"

RAIL LINE FROM
 JASPER TO DECATUR

Decatur. March 11.-(special. IA railroad from Decatur to Jasper ir. Walker County. a distance of about 100 miles. This Is one of the possibilities for Decatur in the near future.
 The Alabama Central fsAs had a line into Jasper for some time and there is now a strong movement on foot to extend this line into the Decaturs.
 Citizens of the Decaturs have taken the matter up with J. H Cranford, President of the First National Bank of Jasper. and one of the leading men connected with the new road. MT Cranford speaks encouragingly of the extension of the line into the Deca- turs, saying that his people will do their part.
 The building of this road would con- meet the Dscaturs with the Warrior River and eventually give a direct out let from Decatur to the Gulf at Mo- bile. It would open up one of the fln- est farming sections of country in North Alabama, lying between Decatur and Jasper It would also open up a fine mineral and timber section of country which has never had q rail- road.

NO TANGIBLE CLUE.
Police Are Puzzled Over Father An-
 sion's Murder,


 sion's Murder.
 Newark, N. J.. March 1.-The efforts of the police force have so far been unavailing in getting any tangible clue to the murderers of Father An sion, who was shot and killed yester- day In the rectory of St. Stanislaus Po- fish Catholic Church.
 Another arrest was made today. ma king nine men who have been taken into custody on suspicion, but none of them has thrown any light on the crime.
 The condition of Mrs Antonio Swer- zytska, the housekeeper, who was shot at the time the priest was mur- dered, was much improved today
 That threats against Father Ansion had been made by members of society connected with his church at a meet ing held Sunday night in the church basement, was the statement made to the police today by Mrs. Adam Samp- son. She was noticed sobbing bitterly while standing by the priests casket. the body lying in state at the rectory, and when questioned. said she should no longer keep back what she knew. Her husband had told her. she said. that he had been in room adjoining 6 the meeting place of the society Sun day night and had overheard threats against the lire or the pTlebt. 4ho Wo- man was detained and detectives were sent to look for Sampson. Late tonight the police detained Josephine Walzowiska, former house. keeper of the slain priest, who had visited the rectory to pay final trio . ute of prayer to her dead master, and confronted her with the suspects now under arrest at police headquarters. The woman picked out two Of the prisoners, Frank Weltz and Thaddeus D. Leszczynski, the latter manager or a Polish publication, and declared that on one occasion they had entered the rectory of the church of which Father Ansion was pastor. in Patterson. and declined to bow to him. Upon Father Ansion remonstrating with them for their direspectful attitude, one of the two men had extended his half closed first toward the priest with the ges- ture of a man pointing revolver, and had said:
 we will bow to you like this." Another development was the arrest of Jacob Rekucki, whom Father An sion recently dismissed as sexton of the Newark church.
 According to the police. Rekucl1, upon being told to go. had retorted:
 of I go, you go, too" The police also took into custody three other Poles who are being held nntil they can give an account of their movements on the morning of the shooting.
