 Washington. Dec. 21.-Recent reports to the United, Press from Rome that Cardinal vannutelli, acting as an agent of the Vatican had attempted to open negotiations for the establish ment of a diplomatic agent at the Vat icaa by the United States, have arous- ed extraordinary interest among Cath olics in America
 It is recalled that a similar attempt was made during the last administra- ton when the negotiations did not get beyond the rudimentary stage of a formal call upon President Roosevelt by Mgr. Falconio. the Papal delegate. It was hinted at that time that Bish- op O'Connell. then rector of the Cath olic University, who was In close touch with the Vatican as rector of the American college in Rome, was sent to the United States for this pur- pose. He arranged the meeting of Mgr. Falconio and the President. RooSevelt's attitude was somewhat to the point and further attempt was avoided
 The vatican. however. apparently did Lot give up hope that the arrange ment could be made.
 It. Is regarded as oE the most ex- treme importance at the present time, Frarce being lost and the anti-cleri- cal agitation in Spain, Portugal and Italy threatening the prestige of the church. It would be regarded In Rome as a triumph If the entente was form ally reached with the United States. ton that the Catholic church In Amer lea would benefit by the creation of several Cardinals. if the plan could be carried out

Firemen's Pay Increase
 Adopted by Aldermen

(Continued From Page Four) enough money to properly rear and educate his children. I voted for the fremen's increase and was returned by 164 majority in a strong opposition ward This was 120 more than I ever got before"
 Alderman McMurray denounced what he termed the insinuations in the mayors veto that there was poli- tics in the measure He said: Mayor Lee occupied the chair the night the matter was voted upon. The mayor said nothing against 1t at that time He waited until after he was defeat ed The increase was supported by an ordinance committee which he ap- pointed himself with a majority of his own political faith. His veto comes in very bad grace in the language that 1t does It Is a stigma placed upon the intelligence of the men who voted for the measure. It came before this board on Sept. '. Public hearings were held
 ''The complaint is made that the matter was not laid before the fire commission. I understood one reason for this was the fireboard was not holding any meetings and had not for several months All the business of the board was done through the pres ident. This Is no snap legislation al- though the Taxpayers league says 1t Is. At the recent hearing when I told
 
 ing higher wages than this city to it's fremen-
 'T was asked if the wages of arti- sans were not higher in those cities. I want to say right here that we have a concern out In the West End that came from the west and that they have brought higher wages to Bridge port. They pay their cheapest la borers s1.75 per day-not s1-15 and S1- -25 per day like some of the old factories which were represented here through the Taxpayers league I voted for this increase because I believed the laborer is worthy of his hire. I pay s4S5 a year in taxes. All I have got Is here. | am not going to run away from Bridgeport Some of the insinu- ations in the newspapers that alder men paid no taxes and could pack their grips and get away were very unfair. Those employers who hold a threat over the heads of their employ ees who vote for this measure are pur- suing tactics that are not American to say the least. Out of a hundred I have only found one who is opposed to this increase"
 Horace H. Jackson opposed the in- crease on the ground that the city could not afford so big an increase. He said that If the amount of the increase had been smaller he would have agreed to 1t. He thought the fiI emen a worthy body of men, but that the amount was excessive at this time
