l With a. meeting of the Young Peo- l ple's societies last evening, the four- l teenth annual convention of the New | England German Baptist association at the German Baptist church in Kos l suth and Burroughs streets, came 70 1 a, close. The convention was the most successful ever conducted by l the association, better reports being read. the gathering happier, and the numbers larger.
 When the convention adjourned last evening, New Britain was decided up-
 on as the next meeting place. Rev. Otto Goening of New Haven, secre- tary and treasurer of the association read his annual report which showed the association to be in flouriShing condition.

 Rev. G. A. Schufte's, general mis- sionary secretary. report showed much work in the West, where new fields are being opened.
 Yesterday afternoon the delegates
 attended the memorial services at

Calls Pastors
 In Contempt
Judge Threatens Prosecu- tion for Action in Criticis-
 ing Cox Case

Cincinnati, Ohio, May 31-''The mem- bers of the Methodist Association of Cincinnati have committed contempt of court and will be held liable for prosecution for this reason" said Judge William L. Dickson of the Ham, ilton County Common Pleas court. He had referred to the resolutions passed by the association and in which they took exceptions to the ruling of his court in the case of the State of Ohio versus George B. Cox.
 On the other hand, ministers say that they will be glad to face the court on contempt charges. The Rev. thing as justice in the country.
 "The ministers have committed con- tempt in that they issued set of resolutions which may prejudice the minds of Judges in this case, which is still unsettled" said Judge Dickson. T shall send these resolutions to the Bar Association, where they will be read over and where the contempt charges will in all likelihood bed rawn up and later presented to the court. I have been told that the ministers consulted with several attorneys before they drew up and passed their resolutions. have also been told that they were informed by the local lawyers that it would in no sense be contempt to pass them. However, these pastors should have known. and they did know, that the Cox case is not yet settled. I do not care for myself but I think the court has a right to protect other judges from being prejudiced as such resolutions would prejudice them'
 The ministers say that while Judge Dickson could and did find the law to let Cox out of his trouble, never theless there was a. big principle at stake and one which should never have been allowed to go by without trial of the defendant.
 Judge Dickson said that the minis ters should study their bibles more and let the law alone because none of them could ever be lawyers

trench Aid in Revolution Largely
 Attributed to Father Carroll

Montclair, N. J., May 31.-Mem orial Day was celebrated here by a large parade of the parochial school children and the men of the Church of the Imma maculate Conception and the presentation of a silk flag to the parochial school by the Holy Name Society of Montclair.
 In accepting the flag for the paro- chial school, the Rev. William A Brothers. rector of the Church of the demned the State for failure to pro- vide the support of the parochial schools
 There is one blemish on our other wise glorious flag he said, lone star where the lustre Is obscured. That the support of the public schools. Taxation without representation is admittedly unjust"
 Turning to Mayor Hinck, the Rev. Father Brothers said: What would Montclair do if the $50 pupils who turned over to the public schools next September? The tax budget would go up s2O,OO0. The Catholics are saving the State millions of dol lars every year by supporting their own schools.
 throughout the United States the inn pression that it is the only patriotic society. We don't think it necessary to worship the flag to be loyal. Wherever the cross of Christ stands over the door you will find the very essence of patriotism and love of country. The Catholic Church stands for progressive civilization founded on a love of God and country.
 Here is a piece of history which has never been published, but which can be verified by reference to the National Archives at Washington. In the darkest days of the War of the Revolution, the Rev. Father Carroll. brother of the rigchest man in the country at that time, was asked by Gen. Washington to intercede with France to aid the Colonists in their struggle against England Father Carroll went himself to Rome, where he put his case before the Pope The head of the Catholic Church sent a special Embassy to intercede with the French Government. and as a result troops that rendered valuable aid in the fight for independence were sent here. Benjamin Franklin, also sent by Gen. Washington, was in France at the time. and to Franklin was accorded all the credit for this achievement"

ARBITRATION TREATIES
 THE MINORITY REPORT
1t is Contended That They Do Not
 Need Amendment.

Washington. August 21.-The treat les Of arbitration with England and Fl ,nce were defended in minority re- ports filed in the senate executive session today by Messrs. Cullom, Root and Burton of the committee on for eign relations. MT. Burton contended that the agreements needed no amend ment as he declared the prerogatiyes of the senate were sufficiently safe guarded. Messrs. Cullom and Root contending the same thing, undertook to provide against any possible mis- hap by suggesting a declaration in connection with the resolution of rati- fication, explicitly excluding from ths terms of the treaty all questions in vOlving the maintenance of the tra- ditional attitude of the United States concerning American questions, or other purely governmental policy"
 When the report was submitted. the question of debate on treaties in pub lie sessions was raised. There was a general agreement that it would not be in violation of the policy of the senate, inasmuch as the ban had been removed by the publication of the documents.
 No action was taken on the treaties and they may go over for considera ton to the next regular session of congress.
 The minority report also took issue with the majority regarding the power conferred on the joint high commits ( for arbitration. The minority de clared that it would be impossible foi the senate ever to have occasion tC refuse its approval to the arbitration of a question which the commission reported within the scope of article one as the clause in question does no

 The meeting was in every way all that could have been hoped for by the most loyal and patriotic and in it's success there is reflected great credit on the board of trade which took the initiative in the matter. appointing a committee that represented the terri torial. county and city governments the board of trade and the public at large. It was a thoroughly representative gathering and its memory will long remain green in the glory of the new born state.

Regret I cannot be present. I re- joice in common with every patriotic citizen at the birth of the new state. Hurrah for Arizona the brightest star in the American flag and the beacon light of popular government.
 A. c. BAKER.
 Arizona is Serumptious.
 The first speaker introduced was AL fred Franklin democrat and a mem Der of the constitutional convention. Mir. Franklin said he had been ap- preached during the day by man who asked him what he thought of Miss Arizona. He replied that he had thought Miss Arizona had always been and always will be perfectly scrumptions". After further praise of the territory he told thestory of the old Roman custom of presenting to the young men of the nation the toga of manhood when they had reached the proper age and exhibited their worth mess. He applied the ceremony to Arizona as dOnning the tOga of state hood. Arizona now has the self gov ernment it has long prayed for and henceforth its officials VIII be the ser wants of the people, not their masters. The present he said was no time for self laudation or the crowning of any man with laurels, but one in which to grasp the opportunities of the hour and thereafter live up to them. He remind ed the people that henceforth instead of having in congress a mere delegate without vote they will have con- gressman and two senators, able to participate in all national legislation. The event he said is one of great mom- ent and he was not surprised at the magnificent outpouring of the people to celebrate it. Thevictorv he said was no. due to dne man or set of men but io the combined effcrta of all the good citizens of the territory.

pA the DdIlu-
 Accepted the Title.
 The chairman introduced George Purdy Bullard as the well known au- tomobile and statehood crank. Mir. Bull lard accepted the title by saying that the committee had refused to let him talk politics or talk about the Los Angeles Phoenix road race so he fear ed he could not make speech. but he would talk just the same. Then he started out with something like this: When the whistles blew this after noon they informed a waiting world that a new state had been formed, and there shot across the sky the brightest star of all to take its place in the field of blue. to remain as long as the flag shall fly" That was pretty good start. Mir Bullard continuing said that the territory would be judged not by the great responsibilities it is now as suming but by the life it leads hereaf ter Then he spoke of good citizenship. of the wealth resources in mine and field and said the only thing to do now is for every man, woman and child to make himself a booster. Let the world know of Arizona's resources and ham mer the truths home until the whole world is crazy to come and live here. He spoke of Arizona having been thirty-five years in getting born but the future would well repay for the ef- forts of all that long period And every mans heart should swell with pride that the territory walked across the threshold of theunion with pride in what he thought was right. Conclud- ing he said let every man bury the past and clasp hands in friendship, except during the campaign periods when the right is reserved to give each other the devil
