RUGBY FOOT BALL
ON THE GRILL
Scottish Union Throws Bomb
Among English
Players.

LONDON, January 16.-The boyle of
professionalism has caused a split in
the ranks of Rugby foot ball players
In the United Kigdom which threatens
to end International contests and re-
duce Rugby foot ball to the level Of
the association game. The latter is so
tainted with thinly disguised profession
alism that number of bona fide anna
teur clubs have broken away from the
parent foot ball association" and have
started an Amateur Foot Ball l4ssocia-
ton" The Rugby players. on the other
hand. have always claimed that abso-
lutte purity has prevailed in their ranks,
but now 1t appears that the English au-
thorities have been sanctioning the pay
ment Of a small allowance to the visiting
Australian and New Zealand teams, in
addition to being out Of pocket for the
expenses of these games. The Scottish
Rugby Union has just unearthed the
fact of these illicit payments and has
thrown a bonbshelI into the foot ball
world by refusing to play the annual
International cup fixture with England
March 20. The Scotchmen have always
been noted sticklers for purity of the
Rugby game, and they declare that the
payments make the recipients profess
SIGNALS and refuse to place themselves
in contact with British movers of the
transgresSion.
The English Rugby Association. despite
it's loud claims of true amateur sports
manship, has been under suspicion more
than once. and the crisis has caused a
sensation in sporting circles. The inter-
national board has been summoned to
deal with the question.

CATHOLICS PLAN TO
GUST THEIR BISHOP
PRELATE TRIES TO EXPEL A
PIONEER PRIEST
Effort to Remove Veteran Pastor in
Denver Promises to Cause
Lively Protest from
Pensioners

DENVER, May 21.-Bitterly resent
full at the attempt of Bishop N. c..
Matz of the Catholic diocese of Colo
RADIO to GUST Father Joseph P. Carr1-
gan from the pastorate of st. Patrick s
church. of which he has been pastor
for more than quarter of century,
the members of the church will present
a petition to Bishop Matz asking that
he resign from the bishopric.
Failing in his agreement to this re-
port, a monster mass n Getting to be
attended by Catholics throughout the
entire state will be held in the Audi
forum and a similar request framed
by the assemblage will be forwarded to
Pope Plus, asking that Bishop Matz be
removed from office.
The removal of Father Carrigan as
pastor Of st. Patricks was attempted
by Bishop Matt on the eve of the dedi-
cation of the new st. Patrick's church,
which had been built largely through
the efforts of the pastor. Father Car
rigan refused to vacate his passionate,
basing his refusal on a section OF
canonical law providing that certainly
regularly appointed pastors may not
be removed without the regular filing OF
charges, which they may have an OPP
portunity of answering.
The cause of the attempted removal
of Father Carrigan is said to be con-
nected with the conduct of the Catholic
Loan and Trust company from whose
meetings Bishop Matz was excluded.

RENDERS DECISION IN
NOTED GATEWAY CASE
RAILWAY COMMISSION GIVES
VERDICT TO PORTLAND
Western Travellers Win Contention Tor
Joint Rate Eastward via Ore
CONS Metropolis After
Bitter Battle

WASHINGTON, May 2l.-A decision
was handed down today by the inter
state commerce commission in what
has come to be known as the Portland
gateway case, in which the contention
of the travelling public for through
routes and joint rates from eastern
points via Portland, Ore, is sustained
The railroads which were defendants
in the proceedings are required by or
der of the commission to establish be
fore July l, 1909 through routes and
Joint rates via Portland and to MAIN
tain them for at least two years.
Chairman Knapp and Commissioner
Clark dissented from the majority opin-
ion of the commission, maintaining
that satisfactory through route ana
through joint rates already were IN
existence.
By the terms Of the decision, when
is highly important to the travelling
public and to the W stern and north
western railroads, the Northern Pa
cifc. the Union Pacific lines and the
Chicago and Northwestern railway
are ordered to join in the sale OF
through passenger tickets between Sc
attic and other points in the Pacli1c
northwest and eastern destinations VIA
Portland. Ore, and to accord through
facilities, like the checking of baggage,
over this route.
The case was bitterly contested by
the railroads.
