CARDINAL WON'T
DISCUSS SUTTON CASE

BY United Press Leased SPECIAL Wire.
BALTIMORE. Nd. Aug. 2S-cardl-
nal Gibbons to-day declined to dis
cuss the burial Of Lieutenant James
y. sutton in consecrated ground.
While il was not possible to see His
Eminence, on account of the press Of
work which mas developed since he
went into retreat, the United Press,
representative, received his answer to
a communication through Rev. z. c..
Csavan. chancellor OF the archdiocese
Of Baltimore.
Cardinal Gibbons was asked 10 make
a statement If he had authorized the
conservation OF the ground for the re-
burial Of Lieutenant sutton. and his
answer through his chancellor was;
II decline to discuss the Sutton mat
ter"
In some circles, this is taken to
mean that PERMISSION has been grant
ed for the burial of the now famous
victim of one Of the most noted incl
dents at the Naval Academy grounds
in consecrated ground. Other sources
do not think such permission had al
ready been granted.
A great deal OF Importance was at
tached today TO the long extended
conference of Rev. DR.. W. T. Shahan,
record of the Catholic University at
Washington and Rev Father Caughy Of
the same city. Whether the Sutton
case was a part OF that discussion
its was impossible to learn, but there
was a rumor current that IT had some
thing 20 do with that matter.

PARIS PAWNSHOPS
TO BAR MOTOR CARS

PARIS. Aug. 2S-French government
pawnshops to-day decided 10 make no
further advances on motor cars. The
decision resulted from a rank IMPOSE
tion practised upon the pawnshops by
automobile owners, who, desiring TO go
on a vacation for week OF two found
that it was cheaper to pawn their
machines than to place them In regu-
lar garages. The pawnbrokers were
forced to take good care of the
machines. while there was not the
likelihood of Joy riding on the part
of the garage attaches. In addition
the owners got the money.
The Monte di Piete found itself con-
fronted with the necessity of con-
strueting large buildings for the hous-
ing of pawned cars which necessity
has been relieved by the action of the
authorities in stopping this abuse OF
a public institution.

GERMAN GIRLS
ADMIRE NEGROES

BERLIN. Aug. 2S-"Mislike me not for
my complelon, the shadow'd livery Of the
burning sun, 10 whom l am a nelghbor
and near bred" says the dusky Prince OF
Morocco. when first he visits Portals
house. in the Merchant OF Venice"
Instead OF misllking them for their COM
pleion, the sensational discovery is made
that numbers OF German girls in good So
ciety are much interested in negroes who
have come from German colonies in Az
rica to be educated here. It must be said
for these young women that their affec-
ton for the Africans is tinctured strong
ly by curiosity and love OF novelty for a
black man is rather a rara avis in Ger
many.
Yet so serious are tho rumors affoat
that the Koeinische zeltung, of Cologne.
which is chosen as the Government 8
mouthpiece. sometimes issues this warn
ing:
"All tho newspapers are informed that
many German girls OF fine parentage arc
associating with negroes who are being
educated here. These negroes have Civ
en- the girls the addresses of other ne
groes who are being educated in schools
I'm the colonies. With thesR the girls
keep up a lively correspondence, maxi
ing the pretonce that they arc collect
ing colonial postage stamps.
when they arc not in the society OF
their dusky sweethearts here, the young
women write 10 them constantly. A let
ter is before us written by 17-year-old
.irl TO a negro student. She informs
i'm that she has a girl friend who wish.

nd asks If he cannot introduce one tC

a letter a dainty school girl IN Sax
