TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT
Described by Rev. FarrsI Martin, DID,,
 in Lecture at Derby.

The Rev. Farrel Martin, DID,, of Waterbury delivered an eloquent dis course on Temperance in St. Mary's church, Derby, on Sunday evening.
 The speaker related anecdotes of his everyday life among unfortunate men and gave tnteres ting accounts Of his experience He then dwelt upon the history of the movement. In 1851 at East Hampton. on Long Island the first temperance movement was in- Rugurated among the farmers there, who sought to stay the ravages which they saw were being made by intem- perance. In 1865 the citizens of New Haven. seeing the dangers in that community took measures to check the evil.
 First Temperance Society.
 The first real temperance society in the world was formed in Litchfield county in 17ss, when 200 farmers band ed together for the purpose of abstain ing and persuading others to abstain not only from the more ardent drinks but also from cider.
 This movement grew until it spread all over the United States and then to Europe. Especially in Ireland the movement assumed large proportions and e society was organized in Wex- ford county in 1923 for the purpose of furthsring the temperance cause. The movement then grew in Scotland, Eng land and then even to the wine drink ing and beer drinking countries of Europe.
 Work Of Father Mathew.
 About this time Father Mathew, the great temperance missionary. began his work. Father Mathew, in his par ish work, visited places of wealth and places oS poverty, and everywhere he saw the effects of intoxicants. He went into the places of filth and into the prisons and saw that intoKicants were the cause of large percentage of the misery. He then took the pledge himself and began his great work. He came to America in IS4s and during his stay here over 500 ,000 persons took the pledge and wore Father Mathews badge.
 The first Catholic temperance so- ciety was formed in Hartford in 1S41. At that time the Washingtonians were about to hold a pagade and Father Brady conceived the Idea of a great Catholic movement of the same nature He accordingly organized a society of l04 adults and 70 young boys.

Government Gets Decision in Case Be-
fore Highest Court.

Washington, Dec. 22.-That the fed
eral government does not surrender
jurisdiction over an Indian reserva-
tion simply because it is situated in a
state and not in territory was held
by the supreme court in deciding the
ease of the United States VS.. Harvey
Sutton and Robert Miller.
These men were indicted in the
United States district court for the
Eastern district of Washington on the
charge Of introducing liquor upon the
Yakima reservation, but the indict.
ments were quashed by the court on
the ground that the liquor was taken
upon ground which had been allotted,
an act which, it was claimed, had had
the effect of bringing the transaction
within state jurisdiction.
The government appealed the case
and in an opinion by Justice Brew ar
the decision of the lower court was
reversed.

PROBE RESOLUTION
ADOPTED IN SENATE
Congressional Investigation Of
Interior Department

Washington, Dec. 22.-There will
be = congressional investigation Of the
Ballinger-Pinchot controversy.
On the floor Of the senate Senator
Flint (Rep., CALI offered q resolution,
which was adopted, calling upon the
president for all reports and state
ments pertaining to the charges made
against Secretary Of the Interior Bal
hnger by L. r. CLAWS. r--
Immediately thereafter Senator
Joass of Washington read to the SEN
- . letter from Secretary Ballinger
addressed to him, demanding in the
strongest of terms q thorough inves.
ttgatton not only OF his department,
but Of the forest service, against Ger.
tain officers of which he lays the
blame for many Of the charges against
him. Jones declared that unless some
uGAe1 senator, took action he would
request that the matter be postponed
nntH after the holidays and he would
thso present q resolution for a joint
somnittee Of the senate and house.
It IL understood that Secretary Bal
hngss has practically won President
Taft 10 favor his demand for an in
vsstisation, although the president has
been reluctant to take this course, in
the hope that the affair might be ad-
5usted In some other way.
The cabinet, as whole, looks with
suspicion toward congressional
probe. foreseeing the opportunities
that would be given the enemies of
the administration when the prom.
fnent figures, Ballinger and Pinchot,
Feopeaed their case.
The presidents advisers feel that,
while majority report generating
Ballinser and giving the interior de.
partment clean bill of health would
help the administration, it would be
possible for the Democrats and insur-
gent Republicans to submit q report
which might be embarrassing.
