 Up the Mattsr, 'Oa.r of s1.ioo for the Arre.t of the ,aurs<rsr os walter veaasIe
 Does Not onsr any In-
 assessment to Them. 

At the next meeting of the Police Commission the matter of police off, cers receiving rewards for capture of criminals and other pieces of work of direct benefit. or to satisfy the per sonal feeling of an individual, will be brought up. There has been some dfs- cussion on the subject of late among the members of the board. the police men and citizens and the subject in all probability will be finally settled.
 Commissioner Gallagher said yester- day that he was-fn favor of the officers receiving rewards. and he believed Commissioner Loebman felt the same
 Mayor Teague said the question of an officer receiving reward was a matter to be discussed in each indi- vidual case by the board and so acted on, as Is the case in almost every large city. sThe policemen are hired by the municipality the Mayor said. 'and the. city is entitled to their full time, If they are allowed to receive rewards indiscriminately. they may give time that belongs to the city to the pursuit of some case that will be of direct ben- eft to them and lessen their value, for the time being. to the city.
 Tt is matter for consideration in each case. If an officer makes an arr rest, while in the performance of his duty, of person for whom there Is q reward he may be entitled to 1t. or q portion of 1t. but each case must stand on It's own merits. The money received from such rewards Us turned over by thes officer to the Chief of Police and after the chief has written state ment of the case. the board acts on the matter. If the reward is not given the policeman 1t goes to the police fund. an account set aside for the officers when they are injured, and in the long run they all get the benefit of 1t.
 Since the offering of q reward of s1100 for the capture of the murderer of Walter venable there has been much discussion in rAslice circles regarding it. The big fund has offered no extra Inducements whatever to the police. as past experience, they say, has taught them that the capture would not gain them the reward. Of course. every of- ficer on the force would be glad to make such a capture. just for the sake Of reputation, but when there Is a money consideration they feel that the benefit of the same should come to them.

y Rome, oct. 26.-Tho sudden change
of the pope's plans, which bring about
meeting of the consistory in Decem-
Der and another i'm the spring, again
brings up the question of who will be
honored from the United States.
There are at present no fewer than
II vacancies i'm the Sacred College of
Cardinals, and high hopes are enter
tained by Catholic dignitaries all over
the world that at the coming consist
ory Pope Plus X may bestow the rel
hat upon them.
Ordinarily the sacred college should
consist of 20 cardinals, but this num-
Der has scarcely ever been reached.
The members of the sacred college at
present number only SO OF whom 80
are Italians. Some nations complain
that they have been neglected lately
and many countries desire to be moro
fully represented in the highest body
of the Roman Catholic church.
II is pointed out for instance. that
there are 100000 Catholics i'm the
United States. I'm addition to those in
the Philippines, Porto Rico and Guam,
and that therefore the United States
becomes the fourth Catholic power i'm
the world. following Immediately after
France, Italy and Austria.
America has only one cardinal, while
Spain, with 1S.O0o,o0O Catholics and
with considerably less influence in the
world, has from five to seven cardinals
The difficulty. however, is as 30
which candidates shall be chosen for
the high position. Among the favoritcs
are Mgr Farley, the archbishop of New
York and Mgr. Quiglcy, the archbishop
The Calumet news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 1907-1938, 1909-10-26

OF Chicago, who have the largest num-
ber OF Catholics i'm their dioceses.
Archbishop Ireland of st. Paul is also
supported as being the best exponent
of the American spirit, and Mgr. Ryan
archbishop of Philadelphia, as being
the doycn of the American hhiearchy.
England is another nation which $
strongly advancing her claims to be
honored by the pope. Ever since Car
dinal Vaughan died i'm 1908 she has
not had a cardinal OF her own. Ireland
even has only one cardinal Cardinal
Loguc. archbishop Of Armagh, but the
Emerald Isle can claim to have twQ
other cardinals OF Irish origin-Cardi-
nal Gibbons, archbishop of Baltimore
and Cardinal Moran archbishop Of
Sydney.
England however. will not now be
satisfied with one cardinal as i'm the
past. Ever since the death of Cardinal
Vaughan 1t has been expected that
Mgr. Bourne. archbishop of Westmin
ster would be raised to the sacred coll
lege and now II is urged that Abbot
Casquct, the learned Benedictine TO
whom the pope has entrusted the great
work of the revision of the Vulgate, is
equally entitled to the honor.
Canada is another malcontent. and
complains that she has been even long
er without a cardinal--evcr since the
death i'm 1898 of Taschereau. her first
cardinal. If Canada is favored it is
expected that the pope's choice viii
fall on either Mgr. Bruschesi, the
young and enterprising archbishop Of
Montreal or Mgr. Bergin, archbishop
OF Quebec. the doyen of the Canadian
episcopatc.

ERA OF Low MORTALITY.
II Has Been Reached by the Civilized
World, Says Report.

Washington. oct. 26.-"The civilized
world has indeed arrived at an era OF
low mortality"
This conclusion Is stated i'm Census
Bureau Bulletin 104. on mortality sta
tistlcs for 1908 prepared by DIR. Cres
sy L. WilbuS, chief statistician for vi
tai statistics under Director Durand
who has transmitted Il TO Secretary
Nagel Of the department OF commerce
and labor.
The death rate of the registration
states in 1908 was 1873 per 1000 OF pop
ulation which was slightly lower than
that for the entire registration area,
1874 per 1000. and it is the lowest on
record DIR. Wilbur states it is prob
ably the lowest death rate that has
ever occurred in the United States.
The death rate of the rural portions
of these states was still lower being
only IA per 1000. while that of the ur-
ban population was 1875 per 1000: the
latter including all cities having "A pop
ulation of 5000 or moro Inhabitants i'm
1900. and being. as usual. somewhat
greater than the rural rate. Such rates
would have seemed quite out of the
question a few years ago.
The death rate OF England and Wales
for 1908 was only 14.7 per 1000 Of pop
ulation. and of London for the same
year. 15.S per 1000. For each year
since 1898 the death rate OF England
ana Wales has been less than 16 per
thousand, with the exception OF the
year 1904 for which year IL was 1872 per
1.o50. while no rate as low has been
recorded for any previous years of
registration.
The early publication Of the data re-
lating TO the mortality of the year 1908
for the registration area of the United
states was only made possible by tho
increased promptness OF the returns
from the state and city offices. most o:
which now make monthly reports.

THINKS WALSH

u. S. Attorney Sims ASKS That
Convicted Banker be taken

the ". 5. circuit court OF appeals ask
ing that John u. Walsh, convicted Of
misapplying funds OF the Chicago Ma

continuance OF his bail denied. The
ground urged by the federal attorney
for the action which would put Walsh
In prison, regardless Of his appeal 20
the United states supreme court
which is contemplated by his attor-

Walsh will fly from the

COURSE IN JOURNALISM MAY
Be ADDtD BY THE u. OF N.
Plans Said to be Already Under Way
to Establish New Feature-Some of
Present Courses Will be Compiled
and Others Of a Practical Nature
Added-Demand For II.

| Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. 26.-Recog-
nizing the great demand for an or
ganized course i'm journalism. plans
are under consideration for the adop-
tion of "a department here so that Mich
iGan university can compete with Wis
consin, Pennsylvania, Missouri and
other institutions which are finding
the work a popular feature. AS the
project Is to be considered generally
in a meeting of universities this year,
1t Is possible that the work will be ar
ranged on the lines advocated at that
convention.
Michigan was the first institution to
take up newspaper writing and make
IL regular part of the curriculum,
Prof. Fred Newton Scott. head of the
rhetoric department and a former
newspaperman, being the instructor.
This was years ago and while addi-
tional courses were added. they have
since been dropped so that Prof.
Scott's course is the only one offered
here which bears directly on Journal
ism with the exception of course
in technical journalism In the engin-
eering department.
There are number OF courses Of
fered i'm the various departments, how
ever. which would make splendid
foundation for newspaperman and ii
is expected that these will be com
piled and several courses of directly
practical nature added.
If the course is organized and is
sufficiently popular 1t is probable that
the practical work now offered will be
extended. The Michigan Daily is now
published as one of the student ac-
tivities, no credit being given for work.
While the faculty has a majority on
the board of control, both the business
and editorials are i'm the hands of stu
dents. no definite instruction being Civ
en-. Except for the advice that stu
dents who have been on the paper for
several years are able to give. the ap-
plicants for the staff have no instruc-
tion.
Exceptionally valuable has been
found the work in technical journalism
offered i'm the engineering department
and a number of the graduates are
occupying prominent positions on
leading scientific journals as partial
result.
Work In descriptive cataloguing and
in writing advertisements is developed
along similar lines. The publication
of the Michigan Technic. three times
year gives some practical experience
i'm this work as the magazine is high
grade and regarded as one of the ablest
of its class to be published in this
country.

leading the way, was heralded by the
blowing of whistles and the ringing Of
bells. During the night huge bon
fires lighted up the banks of the river.
Good Progress is Made.
