REBELS FORCED TO RETREAT
Lose Thirty-six Killed in Battle With
Federais.

Aqua Prieta, Mex, March 25.-
Thirty-six rebels and eight federals are
dead as the result of nine-hour bat
tie at La Colorado, south of Hermosil-
10, according to an official report re-
ceived here. The rebels had possession
of the town but after hard fighting
were driven out.
1t is believed now that the town of
Hermosillo is safe from attack, as the
routing of the rebel forces from La
Colorado will deter Juan Cabral's
band of $50 rebels, which had been
maneuvering to enter La Colorado.
The united rebel force had contem-
plated an attack on Hermosillo.

CONSULS ASKED
TO INVESTIGATE.
State Department Probing
Reported Executions.
OFFICIAL NEWS LACKING

Friends of John II. Dienowity, One OF
the Americans Said to Have Been
Shot to Death in Mexico Following a
Drumhead Courtmartia, Certain
That He Had Taken No Part in the
insurrection.
Washington, March 25.-The consul
at Chihuahua, Mex, has been instruct
ed by the state department to inquire
into the report that John Hamilton
Dignowity and three other Americans
had been shot to death in the state of
chihuahua under the Mexican court
martial The consul at Nogales will
investigate the reported execution of
four Americans, Adams, Young, How
ard and Stanley, after having been
captured with the insurrectos at Aqua
Prieta. State department officials an
nounced that they had no official infor
nation of the reported executions.
New York, March 25.-'If Ham Dig
nowity was shot by Mexican federal
soldiers" said r. c. Johnson, there's
going to be trouble about it. Ham
was In Mexico to protect the property
of his family and for nothing else. He
was no insurrecto and had no part in
any revolution. He kept to his own
business, but he had no end of nerve
and so have all his family. They'll
never let this matter drop If they have
any case"
Mr.. Johnson, until recently, was in
business here with Colonel j. V. Digno-
witty, an uncle of Hamilton Dignowity,
reported in dispatches from San An
tonic as shot by order OF Mexican
courtmartial for taking part in the in
surrection. Colonel Dignowity, who is
a mine owner, had no confirmation OF
the press dispatches, but he, too, was
sure his nephew could have had no
part in the insurrection.
"We shall ask for full investiga-
tion and the punishment of those re-
sponsible, if the news is confirmed"
he said.
John Hamilton Dignowity, said his
uncle, was a mining engineer and
owned considerable property in Mex
leo. Since the insurrection began he
had been much troubled with rowing
bands of marauders.

Number Of Oilers Injured
in Milwaukee Blaze.
FALLING ROOF The CAUSE
Men Were on Top of Building Fight
inq Flames When Their Support
Gives Way and They Are Precipitat
ed to the easement--Some Escape
Unhurt, but Most of Them Are
Buried in the Wreckaqe.

Milwaukee, March 25 Six fire
fighters are dead, four others dying at
the emergency hospital and several
others suffering from more or less seri-
Gus injuries the result of the cavng in
of the roof of the building of the Mid.
dleton Manufacturing company, whole
sale hatters. The dead are:
Captain John Hintz, Company No. 81;
Dick Burke, No. 8; Captain Frank Ca.
vanaugh, Company No. Q; Edwin
Hagie, No. IS; two unidentified men.
The fire had been burning half an
hour and between fifteen and twenty
men had been fighting the flames from
the roof of the four-story structure
when suddenly there was creaking
and swaying of the upper portion and
hurry away the roof collapsed, carry
ing them through to the basement.
A number Of the firemen were
buried in the debris, while others were
lucky and escaped through basement
windows
Ambuances were hurried to the
scene and as quickly as possible the
dead and injured were dug out of the
ruins.
Rescuers Get to Work Quickly.
All was pandemonium. Cries of the
injured who were buried by the debris
could be heard and those who escaped
got quickly to work rescuing their
companions.
Chief Clancy had sent one of his
men to locate Captain HintZ to ascer-
tain how many men were on the roof
when the cave-in occurred, but the
messenger returned with the message
that Captain HintZ was killed.
It was thus impossible to ascertain
the names of the unfortunate except
by digging in the ruins.
Captain Hintz was among the first
to be taken out. Ambulances were
kept busy for two hours before the
last man was taken out.
AS fast as the dead and injured
could be located they were slid out
through windows and hustled away in
ambulances.
Their coats and stars were torn
away and their helmets missing SO
that the work of Identification was
slow.
The monetary loss is placed at $780,.
900, fully covered by insurance.

AN ARMENIAN COUNCIL.

On October Is council of the
Prelates Of Armenia began it's SEES
sions in Rome for the purpose, Of
taking united action in regard to
questions that effect the welfare Of
the Armenian Church. This is the
first time that such Coun-
Gil has been held in Rome. 1t is
under the presidency of the Patri-
arch Mgr. Peter Paul XIII Ter
tian, Archbishop Of Cilicia. Fifteen
Bishops are taking part in it's de-
alterations, among them the Ar
menian Archbishop of Lemburg,
and the two Abbots General of the
Mechitarists of Venice and Vienna.
The Armenian language will be
used exclusively during it's sessions
in the discussion of program
which comprises eleven heads deal.
ing with faith, discipline, the Sc
cular clergy, the regulars, the adj
ministration Of the sacraments, etc.
AT the close Of the council the de-
crees will be submitted to the Holy
See for approval and then will be
solemnly promulgated in the
Church of the Armenian Catholics
in Rome, San Nicola da Tolentino.
Zone of the chief concerns Of
this important gathering says
Rome, Twill be to settle the grave
questions that have arisen in Con
stantinople where a non-ecclesias-
teal organization called the Ma
tional Assembly has arrogated to
itself the right to make and regu-
late ecclesiastical laws and has set
itself in open opposition to the
Patriarch. It was the Pope him
self who ordered that the Council
be held in Rome, partly because
Of the impossibility Of summoning
it in Constantinople under present
circumstances, and partly as an af-
frmation Of the authority Of the
Holy See. According to the latest
statistics issued by Propaganda
the present number of Armenian
Catholics is 1O5,292 scattered
throughout the Turkish Empire,
Persia, Austria, Hungary, Russia
and Egypt. The Patriarch has his
residence in Constantinople and
exercises ordinary jurisdiction
over the Armenians Of that city,
Asia Minor except the territory Of
Nicomedia, Inclohy and Bak-
dschedschik, and over Greece and
Macedonia. -

A VILE SHEET.

Some time ago we received from
one of our subscribers a copy of
the Menace, bigotedly anti Cath
Ollie publication, whose purpose is
to vilify the Catholic Church and
SANDER her Priesthood. We take
it for granted that this vile sheet
has no circulation among Catho-
lies; and certainly no intelligent
non-Catholic would read it. Now
and again, however, it is sent into
Catholic homes by those who are
ever ready to disseminate such
literature to fan the flames of
bigotry. A glance at its contents
should suffice to disgust any self
respecting person no matter what
his religious convictions may be.
In a recent issue Of "The Bell
man, = Minneapolis, the editor,
who is a Protestant, administers a
severe castigation to the Menace
and rebukes the bigotry Of which
it is the exponent in the following
passages:
"The newspaper is called The
Menace, and it is well named. 1t
is, indeed, menace; a menace to
Christianity, to Professionalism and
to common decency. Typograph-
ically it is a wretched and NANCY
looking sheet which is intrinsically
dear even at its subscription price
of fifty cents a year. It claims a
circulation of twenty thousand,
and a decent Protestant who has
proper respect for his own creed
ought to blush with shame to think
that there are that number Of his
fellows who would consent to adj
NIT such a publication to their
homes.
It's columns are filed with
abuse of the Catholic Church and
| its priests, and illustrated by
coarse cartoons which insult and
jeer at those things which the
Catholic holds in reverence and rel
lspect. Bigotry, arrow-mindedE

AMERICA A PROTESTANT
COUNTRY.

In a recent number of The
Southwestern Presbyterian, pub
lished in New Orleans, Atlanta and
Richmond, occurs the following
remarkable assertion:
This is Protestant country.
For its freedom of thought and
speech and worship, rivers Of Pro-
testant blood were shed during
two centuries of agony and strug-
gle. }"
This will assuredly be news to
any student Of American history,
says the Morning Star of New Or
leans. When were there any
srivers of Protestant blood shed
for freedom Of thought and speech
and worship" in this country Z
When was there any persecution
of Protestants on American soil
except the prosecutions which the
various Protestant sects in New
England in colonial days inaugur-
ated against one another? Where
was there any freedom Of thought
and worship on American soil until
the Catholics under Lord Balti-
more established it in Catholic
Maryland who opened their doors
to the prosecuted Protestants fee
ing from the wrath Of their Puri-
tan brethren in New England, but
the Catholics Of Maryland?
This is Protestant country. =
That assuredly is very amusing.
We wonder what George Washing
ton and Thomas Jefferson, and the
great Catholic father Of the Ameri-
can navy, Barry, and the noble
Catholic Lafayette who came with
his Catholic soldiers to help Amer
leans win liberty for this country,
would say to that? We wonder
how the immortal Columbus who
planted the cross of Jesus Christ
on these shores and gave the coun-
try to God and His Blessed
Mother, would look upon the idea.
Protestant, forsooth! In what Sec
ton of the Declaration Of hide
pendence or Of the Constitution Of
the United States is this declared
to be Protestant country? just
as much Catholic blood was spilled
in the American Revolution as
Protestant, and the noble Wash

ington testified to the valor of the
Catholic troops. Catholics signed
the Declaration Of Independence
and were represented in the first
Congressional Assembly. Through
out this country the Catholic
Church blazed the way for prog
ress and civilization. Protestant,
forsooth when the last census sta
tistics showed that the Catholic
Church has progressed at the ratio
Of six to one over all other denomi-
nations put together, and not from
immigration altogether, but from
natural causes and conversions.
Protestant, forsooth! when the
census shows that there are forty
millions Of people in the United
States who do not go to any church
at all, who profess no religion.
These forty million are Of Protes-
tant descent, and have turned from
that rapidly disintegrating faith
because they asked for bread and
found it had nothing but a stone
to offer; while poisoning their
minds against the one true Church
Of Jesus Christ it left them with
no faith at all. Catho-
lies helped to establish this Repub-
lie which they uphold by teaching
respect and obedience to authority
Not here in the United States is
the Catholic to fear to speak above
his breath; not here is he to crouch
and hide. The Catholic is at home
here, and no man has a better
right to be here than he. There
fore, let him stand erect; let his
tone be firm and manly; let his
voice be clear as a silver clarion
calling to victory and truth; and
let his speech be strong and de-
cided, as becomes the citizen of a
free State and a freeman Of the
commonwealth of God.

THE JACK BARRY OF ARGEN
TINE.

In a letter addressed to the edi-
tor Of the Philadelphia Public Led
ger the veteran publicist, Martin
I. J. Griffin Of that city, conveys
the information that the father of
the Argentine navy, as he has been
called, was an Irish boy, William
Brown, who was born in County
Mayo on June %, 1777, and came
with his parents to Philadelphia
in 1856. After the death Of his
father, he was taken in charge by
sea captain as cabin boy. His
subsequent career is thus given in
the letter referred to:
I'm 1914 the Argentine Govern
ment invited him to take command
Of squadron against the Spanish
navy and appointed him commo-
dore; and on St. Patrick Day
Of course, being Irish, he made it
that day-he. took the strongly
fortified fort Of Martin Garcia
from the Spaniards. Then he be-
sieged Montevideo and made it
surrender on the Goth of June,
1914. In 1926 he was active
against the Brazilian navy and in
ficted defeat after defeat upon it
and at the battle Of Juncal, Feb
ruary 9, 1926, it was almost com
pletely destroyed. So he con-
tinued in service until his death,
May 3, 1857. A few years before
he had visited his birthplace,
where his brother then lived.
It is Of interest to know
that an Irish boy once resident in
philadelphia became such a fore
most naval officer of the navy that
now possesses the two largest war
ships afoat, and that the latest is
in the waters of the sober Della
ware, whereon young William
Brown once sailed in an immigrant
ship into our port. But what
region of all the earth is not filled
with the great and honorable
achievements of Irish boys driven
by oppression in some form to
leave the land they love wherever
they go?''

THE DANGER OF ONE GLASS.

One Of the greatest foes to the prin-
ciples of total abstinence is the mod
crate drinker, the man who takes but
one glass. The following article taken
from Everybody's Monthly answers
many of the arguments offered by the
moderate drinker when he is asked to
pledge himself to total abstinence:
In the one glass turks world of
evil. Even one glass disturbs the quiet
and natural working of the human
system, and is sure to produce GER
tain amount Of intoxication. But we
should look at it's tendency, to see the
delusion and danger involved in this
one glass.
It is the one glass at dinner or sup
ally created liking for the liquor on
the part of thousands, and which has
ended in their ruin.
It is the one glass at the public
house which leads to second and a
third, and which, with millions, ends
in drunkenness, with all its terrible
consequences
1t is the one glass ordered by the
doctors to delicate persons that Gre
ates the appetite for stimulants, which
never give real strength and often
lead the poor sufferer to excess.
It is the one glass, taken at the
social board, or at the bar parlor, or
at their fathers table, that has led to
the dissipation of many young men,
almost to the heart-breaking of their
parents.
1t is the one glass on the part of
many tradesmen that leads to their
expensive habits and to the neglect
and mismanagemento of their business,
ending too often in insolvency and
ruin.
If people would calculate the dread
full consequences lurking in the one
glass, they would dash it from them
as their greatest foe
IS Every case of drunkenness begins
with the one glass, and suicides, man
slaughters and murders proceed from
this same cause
Behold the degradation of the female
sex through intoxicating liquors! This
all commences with the one glass.
The pubicans know the power of
the one glass. Persons never say
Come, let us go in and have two
glasses" but the one becomes two
and the two becomes days drinking
in numberless instances.
It is mistake for persons to say,
Zone glass will do nobody harm" A
single spark has fired many a fine
building and destroyed millions worth
OF property.
There is no good either in the first
or second glass, and therefore shun it
as you would your greatest enemy.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Editor Catholic Bulletin,
st. Paul, Mimi.

Dear SIT.
It has occurred to me that we Cath.
olics are losing an opportunity which
promises large number of converts
by not following up such movements
as this late Men and Religion Forward
Movement with public preaching by
our priests and flood of literature
stating in trite and compact manner
why they are on the wrong track.
am sure that many people and some
of the so-called leaders in the move
ment are sincere and only need tell
ing Of their error and the right way
pointed out for them to investigate
and, as an. almost sure consequence,
become converted We certainly are
not doing all the work Of our Lord
when we neglect to do public preach
ing and teaching on the truths of our
Lords doctrine. liz all the efforts pos
sible were put forth by us in this
line am sure the country would be
converted to God and His true re-
ligion before many years. would
like to see our priests and Well-dis-
posed Catholic 1aity unite in such an
effort and I hereby promise all my
help, moral and material, to such a
purpose.
Yours respectfully,
