Cardinal O'Connell Seeks to Raise
$4,000 in America

ROME, December 15.-Cardinal O'Con-
nell, Archbishop of Boston, hopes to
raise $4,000 in America to save his titu-
lar church, San Clements, from damage
by waters which flow under its founda-
toDs. Already large sum of money
has been contributed by citizens of Rome
for the construction of brick auueducts.
by which it is expected to change the
course of the stream
The sum of $1,000 is lacking To COM
plete the work.
BOSTON, December 1J.-Cardinal O'Con-
nell has sent word from Rome that the
Pope has granted the privilege of the
Roman office to the clergy of the arch
diocese of Boston and he has directed
that the use of this privilege become
operative January l.
The granting OF this privilege places the
priests of the archdiocese on the same
basis in the recital of the office as though
they were under the immediate jurisdic-
ton of the Pope. The church authori-
ties here say that the favor is one rare
ly granted and that but few of the Amer
lean diOceses have ever received it.

Washington, the National Capital
again today was held up before the sew
enth annual convention of the American
Civic Association as the one municipality
in the country which is best worthy OF
emulation. William SoIotaroff. superin-
tendent Of the municipal shade tree COM
mission Of East Orange, n. j., was the
speaker. and In discussing "The Prog
ress In Municipal Shade Tree Control
he declared that Washington offers the
best example in the country of the bene
fits accruing from continuous care in the
planting and cultivation of trees in cities.
He called attention to the lack of har-
mony which is evident in many cities and
towns where there is little or no ade-
duate official supervision of the plant
ing of trees on the public highways.
Speaking particularly Of the towns
where the task of tree planting has been
left to property owners, he said 1T is
often found that the trees on the same
street bear evidence Of a diversity of
tastes of the planters. There may be
half a dozen or more species on the same
street, desirable mixed with undesirable,
of all shapes and sizes. set either too
closely or too far apart. In some cases
the trees are not trimmed at all, and the
limbs are so low as to touch the heads

LONDON, December 15.-The British
the American meat packers against whom
prosecutions have been instituted in the
United States from rendering contracts
for the supply Of meat to the British army
suits.
The agents in the British Isles OF the
prominent American meat packers who
have, UP until now, secured large gov
eminent contracts for the supply of meats
to the army and navy, have received the
following notification from the war Of
fee:
Pending the ultimate result of the
legal proceedings In the United States
against certain meat-packing firms il has
ment that none of the firms involved
shall be invited to tender for army sup
plies"
Opposition in Parliament.
The decision Of the government is due
to the opposition of labor and advanced
radical members of parliament to the
American trusts.
The contracts given out by the war Of
flee, which had hitherto been secured by
American firms. are now expected to go
to Argentina meat packers.
1t was explained by officials of the war
office this afternon that the government
action was in accordance with it's regu-
lar policy. In case any company with
which the government dealt became in
volved in serious litigation the govern
ment Immediately refrained from giving
contracts to that company while the liti-
cation continued. British firms received
the same treatment under the same cir
cumstances.
There is little doubt that the admiralty
will follow In the same lines the war

tenders from the contractors. while the

In investigating charges that men in

Private detectives had advised the gov

what the cost Of Job would be. Nc
Namara would reply, according to this in

Paid After Each Job.
All through the confession of Ortie E.
McManigal run statements setting out
that he was paid after each Job" not in
the city where the explosion occurred. but
by a messenger from Mcnamara.
To show that plans We're laid for dyna-
miting by many others than Mcnamara
and that he conducted clearing house
for them was the task set for the in
vestigators.
An instance cited is that on March
q, 1909. the new Boston Grand Opera
House was destroyed by an explosion.
An employer of non-union iron workers
had a part of the contract. Four nights
later a viaduct being built Wy an open
shop iron concern at Hoboken was
blown up.

In McManigal's statement submitted to
the grand jury he said a man, whose
name is withheld by the authorities, in
structed him to go to Boston and Ho-
boken "and do the jobs; that he was
successful and that the man paid him.
That the various persons alleged TO
have met McManigal on his destructive
tours and pointed out the Jobs to be
done will be exposed is the assertion Of
the National Erectors' Association OFF,
Gals who have been active in gathering
evidence.
