Mercy hospital to the mother house
at Mount Carmel one Of the most not
able cases which the institution has
contained for some years. The pa
tient is Sister Mary Carmelita and
ever since she was accidentally burn
ed at Mount St. Joseph's fifteen
months ago, she has been confined to
her bed In the hospital, whittier she
was removed Immediately after the
painful injury. During the fifteen
months a dozen or more nuns who
we're associated with Sister Mary Car

the process of skin grating In order
that the life OF their friend and CO.
worker might be saved. The last Of
the heroic sisters to give her skin
yielded herself to the ordeal within
the past few days and now there is
every prospect that the patient will
recover.

poratlon.

washington, - President Rcose-
velt yesterday informed the SEN
ate In no uncertain terms that ne
had given his approval to the ABSORB.
ton Of the Tennessee Coal & Iron
Company by the United States Steel
Corporation and that he had instruct
ed Attorney General Bonaparte not TO
respond to the senate inquiry as 70
the reason for his failure to prosecute
the steel company.
The president concludes his message
with the statement that no does not
conceive ito be within the authority
Of the senate to give directions OF this
character to the head of an executive
department"
The message to the senate was IN
response to resolution introduced
by Senator Culberson calling on the
attorney general to state whether he
had brought an action against the
steel company, because OF Its acqui-
sition OF the Tennessee concern, and
II not, the reason for non.action.
Responds for. Bonaparte.
While the resolution was not direct
ed to President Roosevelt his atten-
ton was called to 1t by Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte, who, after quoting the
requirements Of the resolution, said:
"As you are aware, no such proceed
ings have been instituted"
Commenting upon the attorney gen.
erals letter the president says:
Gas to the transaction In question,
was personally cognizant OF and 70.
sponsible for Its every detail"
The president then tells the senate
why he permitted the deal and added
that he was advised by the attorney
general that no sufficient ground ex.
listed for legal proceedings against
the steel corporation.

An adverse report to the senate on

calling attention to the need for
further legislation on the subject Of
railroad rate legislation, as indicated
by the recent decision of the supreme
court OF the United States in the case
Of E. H. Hartman against the inter.
state commerce commission.
1t is expected that the presidents
message will be used as an argument
In favor OF taking up the Fulton bill
in the senate regardless Of the report
made against It and Senator Fulton
already has given notice that he will
make an effort on the floor to over.
turn the committee report.
