FIRE AT BEAU MONT
Is DISASTROUS

Beaumont, Tex, June 25-(special)
The most disastrous fire about the
refineries that has occurred in
long time took place today at the.
Texas company refinery when seven
tanks were struck by lightning within
the space of a very few minutes, dur
ing an electrical storm about 7 o'clock
this morning. The first of these tanks
was promptly extinguished by the en-
gineer quickly injecting steam, but
the other three burned until late In
the day. when they burned out Quick
tanks a large tank containing only
a small quantity of gasoline on the
city road caught fire, but this fire
only lasted about an hour.
In very few minutes a large 81
500-barrel tank in the western part
of the yards and containing crude oil
burst out with a flame and this tank
continued to burn until quite late in
the night affording an interesting
sight.
lHiHeuldCeiy upon learning OF the
fires the city fire department sent out
a quantity of hose and Superintend-
ent Smith of the refinery, fearing a
repetition of the Garrison fire, dis
patched automobiles to all the stor-
age yards as far as Beaumont. gath
ering up men and hose to fight the
fire and this precaution probably
saved other damages. AS night grew
on a large number of people took ad-
vantage of the street cars and rode
out to the Houston avenue terminus
to watch the fires.
The loss could not be ascertained,
but will run near 100000.
At about the same time that the
Texas company tanks caught, light
ming also struck a crude oil tank at
FL Vista belonging to the Gulf Re-
filming company, and 1t burned all day
and night, proving a total loss.

FATHER BRATTON PROTESTS
Resents Remarks About the Ropes OF
the sixteenth Century

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
/; NV attention has neen called to an
article in last Sundays Age-Herald
under the caption. Theodore Roose-
welt" by Savoyard. In that article Saw
oyard offers incidentally Gratuitous
insult not only to the popes OF the Blk
teenth century successors of st. Peter)
but also to every Catholic. He said:
Take down your history of the SIX
iteenth century and read how popes OF
Rome granted indulgences to commit
sin and for largess Leo x ould al
how one to commit every crime de-
precedent for Roosevelt's indulgence to
the Steel trust"
This poor old calumny is toothless,
lhoary and backed. 1t sh ould be
given a rest. The Catholic pulpit and
press have refuted it SO often in years
long past and in recent years that
no man of ordinary intelligence can
consistently plead ignorance. And yet
jSavoyard appears to be ignorant OF
historical facts and the Catholic doc
trines of Indulgence when he says
that this was the precedent for Roose-
,velt's indulgence to the Steel trust
He should have learned tina the Cath
Ollie doctorine of Indulgence and the
English words "indulgent" ard "indul-
Igence" have entirely different mean
iings.
AS a Catholic priest l feel that l
would be recreant to my trust did l not
resent this slur on my creed. A few
years ago the Right Rev. Bishop Ho-
ban of Scranton, Pa, offered $4,000
to any person who could prove that
THE Catholic church ever taught such
a doctrine as The end justIf1es til e
means" or that any pope for largess
would permit anyone to commit sin"
Several other bishops made similar Of
Ifers. l never heard of any one secur-
Ing the money. / dare say the offer
still holds good. If so here would be
a chance for Savoyard. Let him get
down history-but il must be real his
