From what the Southern railway men
say tho Scaboard is TO blame and the

people say that when they agreed for

repairs to the depot are being made
that they reserved the right OF way

they could stop instantly. Notwith-
standing this agreement the seaboard
train was running not less than twen-

have known there was Southern

MGR pALCONIO FOR PUBLICITY.

IL
Diomede Falconio, Papal Delegate 10
the United States 10 Washington, who
is completing his visit in New Orleans
for the American Federation of Catho-
lie Societies, in an interview yesterday
made some progressive declarations
that it is believed will goa long way to-
ward breaking down some OF the bar
riers between the exclusive church and
the press.
Mgr. Falconio declared emphatically
that q priest should be willing TO give
news OF his church and parish TO the
secular press, that he should give in
terviews on important subjects and
that he should provide copies OF ser
mons when occasion seemed TO demand.
He was asked if priests should take
part in public issues. Certainly he
should" was the reply. No priest
should identify himself with any polti-
cal party, because he must always stand
for the right and for the best man in
Office, and he must be free to uphold
the right. There are many political
Questions which do not concern the
priest at all, and he should not take
any interest in them, but questions
like prohibition, the white slave traffic,
gambling and others concerning the
morality OF the people he can certainly
express himself upon.
Would you advise a forcign-born
priest to become naturalized p

ME IORIAL ENDORSED BY GRAND
LODGE OF MARYLAND.

On last Tuesday VIM. B. McChesney,
Grand Master Of Masons In virginia
accompanied by Judge r. 1. W. Duke'
OF Charlottesville, and Messrs. henry
X. Field and C. II. Callahan, OF this
city, by previous invitation OF the
Grand Master OF Maryland, paid a
visit to Baltimore to attend the annual
communications OF the Grand Lodge OF
that state, and witnessed the twenty.
sixth election Of General Thomas j.
Shryock rs Grand Master. 1t is said
there is only one instance in the history
OF the Masonic freternity Of the world
where this record for length Of service
has been exceeded, and that by one OF
the kings of England, and is an eloquent
tribute and beautiful testimonial OF
the affection of the Masons OF Mary
land for their Grand Master. General
Shrvock's ancestors we're Alexandrians;
his mother being one OF the girls who
sang to Lafayette when he visited here
in 1925, and his grandfather 3 mem
Der OF the Masonic fraternity way back
in the early part OF the last century.
This probably accounts, in measure,
for his particularly warm affection for
Old Virginia. i'll general, and Alexan-
dria, in particular Immediately after
the opening of the Grand Lodge, the
Grand Master announced to that body
that on the 22nd OF last February, ct
meeting OF representatives OF Grand
Lodges in Alexandria, virginia, hs per-
sonally endorsed the movement to
erect memorial to Washington, The
Mason, and pledged the Grand Lodge
of Maryland to cooperate ia this
worthy object, and that he relied upon
his Grand Lodge to approve the action
Of their Grand Master. Judge Duke
was then introduced and, 10 we'll
timed eloquent appeal, laid the propo-
siton before the Grand Lodge after
which the worshipiul master OF wash
iugton Lodge was presented and brief
" explained the several features OF
the undertaking. Mr.. Callahan was
followed by Rev. Mr.. Branch, OF Baltl-
more, who fcelingly referred to the
long friendship and cordial relations OF
the two state and stated that, as
Maryland was the first state in the
union to raise monument to General
Washington, the soldier, statesman and
patriot. it was extremely fitting, and
all Maryland Masons must rejoice that
their Grand Master had assumed the
responsibility to take the initiative and
pledge, first OF all, the Grand Lodge OF
Maryland to this worthy undertaking."
He then moved that the action of the
Grand Master on last 22nd of February
be approved, which was done, followed
by a second motion that the Grand
Lodge officially of itself endorse the
proposition, which was also done by o.
rising vote.
The visitors speak in the highest
terms OF their warm reception and cor
dial treatment. The Grand Master
was tireless in bis efforts to accommo-
date them and lavish in his hospitality
during their whole stay.

A PERILOUS ACT.

Crawling 200 feet through an Is
inch sewer, E. E. Ada,nson, q young
and diminutiye Washington plumber,
achieved the seeming impossible by
finding a 81, 200 diamond ring yester-
day, and thereby probably saved the
life OF lis owner, Miss Harriet Shadd,
OF 1919 Riggs place, Washington, who
is recovering from an operation for ap-
pendicitis at the Garfield Hospital.
In some curious manner, the ring,
afteI drifting 200 feet down the sewer,
became lodged in an obstruction, and
its three large diamond remained above
the water and mud. The ring, was un-
harmed.
Miss Shadd lost the ring last Mon
day while bathing. She placed it, on
the edge OF the bathtrb, whence 1t
slipped from its resting place and disap-
psared down the waste pipe. Thence 1t
was washed into the main which runs
under the street in front of the house.
Carrying a bull's-eye lantern, the
young plumber entered a manhole
about 10 feet from the house, while his
companions stood at the entrance. a
light string was tied to his waist. with
which he was to signal il any accident
overlook him. Slowly. on his stomach,
Adamson wrigsled through the main.
1t was impossible, he says, to see more
than S feet ahead.
.Adamson says that he found the
ring dozen times in his Imagination
before he finally came upon it, stuck
between two joints in the piping, and
prevented from travelling farther.
The plumber then backed out to the
,nanhole. 1t required almost talf an
hour to crawl 200 feet to the ring and
back.
