FATHER TAUsL TO CuDAHY
Former Assistant at st. George Church
is Placed in Charge of the Large
Bohemian Church in the Milwaukee
Suburb by Archbishop

st. George congregation, the largest
Catholic congregation in the city, has
a new assistant pastor today as on
Thursday Archbishop Messmer made
formal announcement that the Rev.
Nicholas Mass, formerly in pastoral
work at st. Michaeis church, had been
transferred to Kenosha to be the as
sistant to the Rev. B. Elskamp. The
same order announced the transfer OF
the Rev. John Tausl from st. George
church in Kenosha, where he had served
as an assistant pastor for nearly a year,
to st. Joseph church at Cudahy, sub
urb of Milwaukee.
Father TausI will celebrate his first
mass in his new pastorate today and it
is certain that the work there will be
more congenial to him than the work
in Kenosha. Father Tausl came here
directly from Bohemia and he came
with view Of learning the customs
of this country before taking up work
in one of the larger churches He early
won a strong place is the hearts of the
members of st. George church and was
great help to the people of his own
country in Kenosha. At the time he
was stationed here it was understood
that the appointment was to be a
temporary one as it was thought that
he was needed for the work in the larg-
en- Bohemian parishes of the diocese.
The congregation to which he has been
transferred is made up almost entirely
of his own people.
There is still a large membership
Other than German in st. George church
but these various nationalities are rap
idly building churches in which their
mother tongue will be spoken and the
great need of st. George church is for
en- assistant to Father Elskamp who
knows the German language.
Father Mas who has been sent to
this church, is one of the best known
Of the younger priests of Milwaukee.
He was graduated from the seminary
at st. Francls three years ago and was
a member Of the same class as Father
Eugene Gehl formerly of Kenosha. At
ter leaving the seminary at which he
won high honors as a student and a
public speaker he went to st. Michaels
congregation where he served unit
transferred to Kenosha by the order
of the archbishop.
Father Mas is assured of a cordial
reception in Kenosha. He will give
much of his time to the work among
the young people of st. George parish

IDENTITY LONG BIG PUZZLE
Chicago People Finally Discover That
Bride of Ferguson was Well known
Chicago Society Woman Bride and
Groom Missing.

Something of a sensation has been
caused in Chicago as result of l<e
nosha wedding and it has been discov-
cred that Helen Eaton, daughter of
Mrs. A. B. Eaton Of Chicago and one
Of the best known Of the younger so
ciety women of Chicago, was married
in Kenosha early in July to George M.
Ferguson, an insurance man of Chica-
60, who gained notoriety some time ago
on account of his connection with
trial divorce. The couple when mar
ried in Kenosha managed to completely
mystify their friends and even their
relatives on account of the name under
which Mrs. Ferguson was married. In
Kenosha she gave the name Of Helen
Wood and declared that her father was
William K. Wood of New York City.
Wood was the first husband of Mrs.
Eaton and the daughter is believed to
have assumed his name for the sole
purpose of keeping the facts in regard
to the wedding a secret.
Ferguson was divorced from his form
er wife late in Auril and the decree
of divorce contained an absolute pro
hibition against either the husband or
wife marrying within a year after the
datenof the decree.
hnI L
came to Kenosha and he was advised by
the county clerk that he could not mar
ry within a year. Judge Randall gave
him similar advice and told him that
he was liable to prosecution in Illinois.
AS there was 20 prohibition against
the marriage in Kenosha the license
was issued. The Rev. E. T. Farrill,
who performed the ceremony insisted
that Ferguson take an oath that there
was no legal impediment to the mar
riage before the ceremony was per-
formed.
Mrs. Ferguson as Helen Eaton was
well known to many people in Chicago
and since her coming out she had been
prominent in the younger. society of
Chicago. As soon as the couple were
married they left for New York and
since the discovery of the identity of
the second Mrs. Ferguson it has not
been possible to get any line on the
couple. It is thought that they are
planning to leave the country for
year to make impossible any indict-
ment OF Ferguson for contempt of
court and second Counselman trial.
Ferguson declared to the Kenosha Of
ficials that once married to Miss Eaton
he would take his chances Of being
caught in Chicago. Ferguson was 40
years cid and Miss Eaton 20. It IS.
claimed that the mother of the bride
has not as yet been advised of the
marriage.
Rev. Mr.. Farrill declared that SO far
as he knew the marriage was entirely
regular. ''Ferguson admitted that he
had been divorced, but at the same
time he took an oath that there was mo
legal impediment to his marriage 10

had no reason to question them

1t looks very much as if there is a
bull somewhere in the figures on the
school census, but it may be that it is
the totaliug of the sheets and not in
the actual enumeration. When the
census does not show as many children
in attendasce at the public schools as
the records of the teachers show were
there it will be difficult to persuade
any one to place much confidence in
the other figures of the census.

Dark days come when the kidneys

You awake tired, lame and sore. 1t

All day the dull, throbbing ache

whirling dizzy spells, specks and spots
dancing before the eyes, miserable

You have no appetite for meals, cam

too frequent urination, and burning
scalding pain in making passages.
At night the sufferer retires, hop

THIS PREACHERS VIEWS.
Is Frank in Expressing His Views on
Biblical Subjects.

New York, Jan. 25.-There are
doubtless clergymen who hold to the
old time religion" and the literal in
depreciation of the Bible, but few are
to be found in New York. Not all
the ministers are as frank in express
ing their views, however, as the Rev.
Noman II. Thomas, a recent graduate
of Union Theological Seminary, who
was today ordained assistant pastor
of the fashionable Breck Presbyter-
ian church. His entrance into the
ranks of those licensed to wear cler-
ical raiment follows strong but fu-
tile protest made against him by
some OF the more old-fashioned re-
tired ministers. Only ten out of for
ty-four voted against his admission.
A similar fight was waged a year
ago against the ordaining Of three
other Union Theological Seminary
graduates, but all Of them are now oc-
cupying pulpits.
Some of the tenets which the Rev.
Thomas refused to accept are as fol-
lows
The authority of the Holy Scrip
lures as the only infallible rule OF
faith and pratice.
The Virgin birth of Jesus and the
raising of his body from the grave.
The raising of Lazarus from the
dead, and other reputed miracles at
tributed to the Christian Savior.

BoRAH AND OWEN, REPUBLICAN
AND DEMOCRAT RESPECTIVE
LY, WORKING TO THAT END.
DEPEW LEADS THE OPPOSITION
All the Western, Central and South
ern States Favor Election Of Sen
ators by Direct Vote Of the
People.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Senators
Borah, owen, Depew and others in
terested in the popular election OF
United States senators have been
looking into the records Of the va
rious states of the union on the sub
iect Senators Borah and owen have
been working hard for a passage OF
such legislation in congress as will
insure the people the privilege of
voting for their senators, but Sen
ator Depew does not favor the idea,
Getting down to statistics the
situation presented to Mr. Depew
and those who think like him today
is this: Thirty-siX states have eX-
pressed themselves favorably in one
form or another TO the election OF
senators by direct vote of the peo-
lple. and they constitute more than
three fourths of the state of the
union. They are Alabama, Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Florida, Geor-
gia. Idaho, illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mich
igan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missou-
ri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Jersey, North Carolina, North Da-
kota, Ohio, oklahoma, oregon, Penn
sylvania, South Dakota, South Car
olina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia,
Washington, Wisconsin and Wyom-
ing.
Virtually all of the states west
of the Hudson river, democratic and
republican alike, have acted favor
ably on this question. Only eight
or nine states have failed to act.
Mr.. Depew is supported by many
senators in his idea against the di-
rect vote, but the opposing opinion
is strong and effective. For years
this sentiment in the senate has
proved barrier that the champions
of direct elections have not been
able to overcome. -Four times the
house has passed by a two-thirds
vote resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution which
would give direct election of sen
ators, and on each occasion wher
the house action has been submitted
to the senate that body has failed
or refused to vote upon the resolu
ton.

REPUBLICANS ACT SELFISH.
Would Force Democrats to lnaugu'
rate Same Next Session.

Washington, Jan. 24.-lt became
known today that the republican
machine of the house has prepared
and has printed the draft of a bill
providing for the abolishing OF TWEEN
ty-iive well salaried jobs in the
house of representatives,, effective
March 4. 1t is the purpose of the
republicans to force the democrats
to restore these places when they
assume control. 1t is understood that
at the proper time Speaker Can
non will let the bill come before
the house for a vote, This action,
it is admitted by republican leaders,
is to be taken because Representa-
tive Cox of Indiana, as the recent
democratic caucus, denounced the eX-
travagance of the republicans in
maintaining a lot of political jobs.
In the meantime the house COM
mittee on census is unable to get
its bill for the next apporuonment
before the house, but Representa-
tive Crumpacker today served no
tice on the leaders of his party
that if they do not make way for
the bill he will offer it as a mat
ter of highest constitutional priv-
lese. as being required by the con-
stitution. At the last session of con
gress, Representative Crumpacker
forced a vote on his census bill on
the ground that it was a question of
highest constitutional privilege. This
gave the insurgents a cue and they
subsequently offered the Norris res
olution putting Speaker Cannon off
the committee of rules as "a ques-
ton of highest constitutional priv
ilege.

SUIT TO TEST RIGHT OF CHRIS
TlAN SCIENCE HEAlERS TO
PRACTICE, FILED TODAY.
MAY GO TO SUPREME COURT
II Application Is Turned Down in
New York, It viii Be Taken to the
Higher Cours-Woman Is the Pros
ectuor.

New York, Jan. pa suit to test
the right of Christian Science healers
to practice in this state, and which
will be of vital interest to the dis
ciples of the late Mrs. Eddy in all
parts of the world, had its beginning
today when Willis Vernon Cole, reg
uarly licensed Christian Science prac-
titioner, was given a hearing before
the police magistrate in Jefferson
Market court. Humble in its beginn-
ing, it is probable that the suit may
yet go before the supreme court of
the nation as a test case to decide the
legality of the healing" phases of
the religion of Christ as interpreted
by Mrs. Eddy.
Disciples Of the feminine religious
leader assert that the whole religion
of Christianity is on trial, and that
the real warfare is, in the last analy-
sis, between those who cling to a
spiritual Interpretation OF life and
those whose viewpoint is entirely and
wholly materialistic.
terview, denied the existence Of the
soul" and of spirit" said a prominent
New York Christian Science leader,
in discussing the present case. He
declares that all is matter and that
spirit does not and cannot exist. Such
a statement is logical, if false. The
Christian Scientist says that all is
spirit, and is logical. The time has
come when humanity must decide be-
tween these two-between Christian
Science and materialistic science.
This test case, if carried to a conclu-
sion. will be the most tremendous in
the history of the world. If the courts
should decide against us, then on that
day will Christianity be legally dead
by denying the existence of spirit
Mr.. Edison has said, as plainly as If
he had used so many words, that
Christianity is a monstrous lie, with
out basis of fact. Has there been any
public manifestation of disapproval?
few ministers have said that Mr.
Edison was not a theologian, and un.
familiar with ancient tongues, and
was therefore not qualified to discuss
such a question. That is all. The
