The PRESIDENCY
National League to Meet This
Afternoon to Elect a PreSi-
dent

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Stanley Rob-
ison, owner Of the st. Louis National
League baseball team, holds the key
TO the National League presidential
election, which is scheduled to take
place some time this afternoon II is
conceded by the baseball clans that
are gathered at the Waldorf Astoria
and the Walcott that Robson can
therefore elect John NJ. Ward 10 the
presidency or throw the meeting into
deadlock, the outcome OF which cam
not be forecasted safely
Despite yesterdays assurances from
both Robson and Barney Dreyfuss. the
Pittsburg club owner that the mag
mates would settle their differences in
a series Of preliminary meetings, they
have not done so and the indications
are that when the annual meet
ing of the National League Is called
this afternoon, the line up on the pres
idential question will be as follows:
For the reelection Of John A. Heyd-
ler-Barney Dreyfuss, Garry Herr
mann, of Cincinnati, and John Dovcy
Of Boston: Tor John M. Ward-Charles
w. Murphy, of Chicago; John r Brush
of New York; Charles Ebbetts. of
Brooklyn, ana Horace Fogel of Phil
adelphia; unplcdged Stanley Robson
Robson has said that he would nor
vote for either Heydler or Ward, but
the Ward champions say that he had
his fingers crossed when lie said this
and they are counting on him for the
firth vote needed 20 Oust Heydler and
put the old New York player and man.

In case of deadlock Joseph OBrien,
president of the American Association. is
frequently mentioned as the most likely
compromise candidate. The candidacy Of
Adrian G. Anson, the war horse" is
generally considered a joke.
Charles W. Murphy, who has engineered
the deal against Heydler declared posi-
lively to-day that Ward would be elect

with Robson and added to his prediction
that Il know what l am talking about"
No matter who is elected all the mag
mates declared that the result would be
accepted gracefully.
The most interesting news brought out
by the preliminary confabs was that
Charles p. Taft put up all the money for
the purchase Of the Philadelphia team
and that his interests in the Chicago team
have been disposed Of to Murphy to avoid

BASKETBALL SEASON
NOW IN FULL SWING

The basket ball contingent is elated over
the hearty support which this branch Of
athletics is receiving among athletes all
over the city, and although the basket
BAH season has just started there is
enough enthusiasm all along the line to
assure one of the most successful sea-
sons which this sport has yet enjoyed.
The majority of athletes who have been
forced to lay aside their football togs ow-
ing TO the close of the pigskin season, will
now attempt again to bask in the lime
light by shooting goals from the gymna-
sium floor instead of kicking the spherlod
across the crossbars. In fact, nearly every
day finds a newly organized basket ball
team in the local swim, and ere long this
sport bids fair TO attain place annaully
close to a par with football and baseball.

st. Mary'S Cathedral.

When the magnificent, new St. Mary's
cathedral is dedicated today there will
be one man in attendance at the cere-
monies to whom the dedication will have
a deeper meaning than to others in the
throng that gathers. The completion Of
the great church edifice wiz mean to
Architect Bernard O. MecianJurg the fin
sh Of a work in which all his heart and
all his soul have been interested, a work
in which he has taken great pride, In
which he has put his best efforts.
Seldom in the life Of any architect comes
the opportunity 20 display his ability, his
talents, his study in the building Of a
great cathedral. To a young man this
chance is one most exceedingly rare. It
is a testimonial to his talents, and il tends
to spur him on to the best efforts Of
which he is capable.
Bernard O. Mecklenburg, upon the death
of z. NJ. Neuhausen. who had drawn the
plans for St. Mary's cathedral, and who
had supervised the building of the struc-
ture to the roof, was rendered the position
Of supervising architect. He jumped at
the opportunity Of making a name for
himself. He had the ability and he want

can tell of the nights that he has passed
sleeplessly planning his task. The cathe-
dral will ever remain a monument to his
skill-at least, that is the way he looks

ROMAN CATHOLIC
CHURCH IN UTAH
lis History Is One of Continued
Growth and Progress in
This State.

While the revolutionary soldiers were
preparing to wrest the thirteen colonies
of the New World from the tyranny of
King George, beginning a new era in the
history of the world, the commencement
Of the history of the Roman Catholic
church in Utah was being made. 1t was
just twenty-five days after the Declara-
ton Of independence was signed that a
party of Spanish priests left Santa Fe.
in what is now New Mexico, and started
on a journey which led them to what is
now known as Provo valley, and, during
the summer of 1776, this band Of mission
aries began their work among the Indi-
ans, who were then the only inhabitants
Of Utah.
Of the territory Of Utah by white men
was made by a band of priests headed
by Fray Francesca SilVestre Velez de
Escalante, who wrote record of the eX-
cursion, telling of the arrival at Utah
lake. near Provo canyon, on Sept q, lltb,
where they remained for a time doing
missionary work among the Indians. Fa-
Their Escalante and his party continued
their journey to the southwest until,
after passing along what is now the Salt
Lake route, they turned south to the can
yon Of the Colorado, passing through the
region where St. George, Utah, now
stands. This missionary expedition is re-
viewed BY the Very Reverend W, r. Har-
ris, D. D, LII. D, in his book recently
issued on the Catholic church in Utah.
When Father Escalante and his party
visited Utah first they intended to return
in q few months and take up again their
missionary labors among the Indians in
the vicinity Of Utah lake, in the region
now called Provo valley. This they an
nounced to the Indians, who begged them
to come again and come soon, but the
field was large and the laboreTs few, 50
il was many years before the priests
from the Spanish missions could return
to Utah.
Father Escalante kept a detailed jour-
nal of this expedition, the records of
which still remain in Mexico. Through
this journal his route has been traced
from Santa Fe northward through Colo
Of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad to
the vicinity OF Durango. Then turning
