CATHOLICS PROTEST AGAINST
SARAH eERNAARDT.
Object to Her Playing the Good Sa
maritan One Day and Ca
mile the Next.

Chicago, Dec. IA protest
against Sarah Bernhardt's Biblical
play, La Samaratinne,' by Edward
Feeny, president of the American
Federation of Catholic Societies, was
placed before the local Catholic
clergy today. Attention of Catholic
publications in New York and Brook
lyn has also been called to the pro-
test and it is expected they will take
up the crusade.
Mayor Gaynor has stated that he
can do nothing to prevent the pro-
duction OF LA Samaratinne." Feeny's
complaint is based chiefly on the fact
that the divine Sarah" appears one
night talking to the Savior and the
next plays the part of the wanton
Camille This Feeny characterizes as
blasphemous and shocking to the mil
lions of Catholics in America.
Bernhardt simply shakes her head
and says: Let the people be my
Judge. | think l am doing a great
service"
Formal action will probably be
taken Monday by the Brooklyn do
cesar federation. If the federation
can find no means of stopping the
play by law it probably will address
communication to Nine. Bernhardt
asking her to desist from playing
Camille" and ia Samaratinne" on
successive nights.

TOO MANY MYSTERIOUS
SHOOTiNGS OF THAT KIND.

Canon City, Colo, Dec. 17.-Will-
lam H. Smith, prominent real estate
owner and cattleman living at 222
Griffin avenue, South Canon, was
shot in a mysterious manner this
morning and fears are entertained for
his recovery. Relatives declare the
shooting was accidental. According
to their story Smith was preparing to
leave home for visit to his cattle
ranch in Webster park, when he is
said to have become engaged in a
scuffle with Miss Maud Jenkins, a
young woman who has lived with the
family for many years.
Smiths revolver was discharged in
some unacountable way, shooting him
in the head. The ball entered the left
side of the face, passing just below
the brain and above the tongue, and
came out on the other side of the
head. Two physicians were sum-
moned and they say he has only a
slight chance for recovery. The fam
lily will not discuss the affair except to
say that it was accidental.
