GRAND JURY
CLEARS TWO
DEPUTIES

Deputy Prosecutors Burmeis-
ter and Nolte we're given a clean
bill of health in the grand jury
report yesterday.
Burmeister did not split the
$500 put up by Mike and Eliza

Sheriff. of Wilkeson, who was In
dicted for grand larceny of the
entire sum. the grand jury found.
Nolte did not receive $50 each
from two prisoners dismissed
without trial, nor demand $50
more.
THE rumor about Burmefster
was without the slightest founda-
ton of truth" said the report,
while Nolte, 1t said, had been
falsely slandered."
The jury declared that fuller
investigation convinced its menu
bers that the reports were start
ed by political enemies OF the
officials.
Hits -Four Attorneys.
The report referred to the in-
dictments of Attys. Sheriff. and
j. Mathew Murray and stated
that four other attorneys were
investigated. No criminal action
was recommended but 1t was sug-
gested that the Bar association
act against them.
The four other attorneys are
not mentioned.
I'VE heard complaints, said
the report, against persons who
leased their premises FOR isnnior-
al purposes. Some were unques-
tionably guilty, but because the
law does not cover the case we
could do nothing. We reco1sa-
mend further legislation at the
next session to cover this"

ARMENIAN sCH|sM FEARED
Turkish Government Encouraging En-
emies of the Patriareh-Pope Ex-
communicates Them.

It is reported that the Turkish
government is secretly encouraging
the schism threatened among Armen-
ian Catholics, a small party of whom
have attempted to take the admin
istration of all Church property into
their own hands. Heretofore the adj
ministration has been in the hands
of board practically appointed by
the Patriarch. Last year the Commit
tee on Union and Progress supported
the election of several candidates who
were notoriously hostile to the Patri-
arch and thus the breach originated.
A synod of all the Armenian bishops,
was held in Rome last year at the
suggestion of the Pope in order to
bring about peace.
Despite the Pope's repeated efforts
at reconciliation, the Turkish govern
ment retaliated by ordering the de
position of the Patriarch and his ex-
pulsion from Constantinople. The
division in the Armenian Church
reached such an acute phase that the
direct Intervention Of the Holy See
became imperative. Accordingly the
Pope has written to the Patriarch
disappearing in strong terms of the
action of the rebels, and declaring
their deliberations were contrary to
the canons of the Church and there
fore null and avoid The Pope sol
emnly excommunicated the dissenting
members of the board of administra.
tion. The breach in the Armenian
Church will probably lead to schism
but the dissenting party is not mum
erous.

CATHOLIC CONVERSION
33,247 Conversions in the U n { c d
States - Figures Taken from Dio-
Diocesan Records-lt Averages 100
Day.

There We're thirty-three thousand
two hundred and forty-seven (33,24D
converts received into the Catholic
Church during the year 1911. These
figures have been secured by the
Apostolic Mission House from the re.
ports of chancery Offices throughout
the country, and they possess all avail.
able accuracy. They are the aggre-
gate of adult baptisms taken from the
baptismal records.
So conservative is the figure that
many discerning judges say that they
under-represent rather than exagger-
ate the number of conversions. The
average of converts to the population
in all the dioceses Of the country is
one in 400. Using this average with
the 100000 Catholics given by the
directory would run the number of
converts up to thirty-seven thousand.
There might be added to the actual
reports of the chancery offices some
thousands that have never been re-
ported, the number dying in hospitals,
received on their deathbeds, the num-
ber received in converts, the whole
families that are brought back. An
observant prelate says that the aggre-
gate of these might be 10000. But,
however, we discard all these guesses
and some back to actual reports, and
we place the aggregate of conver-
sions in the United States at thirty
three thousand two hundred and forty
seven. These figures possess re-
markable interest, because they are
measure of the growth of convert
making. The Apostolic Mission
House has gathered these figures at
the end of three-year periods. In
1906, in preparation for the Mission
airy Congress of that year, the number
of converts received into the church
during the previous year was 25,055.
In 1909, for the previous year, the
number rose to 2S,789, and now, after
three years more of missionary work,
the annual harvest is 33,247.
Another interesting feature of these
statistics is that Concentrating is
bearing fruit in the dioceses where
the diocesan mission work has been
established, and it takes little think
ing to appreciate what $4,000 converts
in year means. 1t means nearly
100 converts in day for every day
in the year. It means that men and
women of high serious purpose, and
with the utmost deliberation, many of
them in spite of the greatest Difficult
ties, have moved away from their
anchorage in the Protestant churches
and have adopted a program of life
which entails much sacrifice and re-
soluteness of purpose till the shadows
of death fall about them.

NEW YORK's FIRST BISHOP
Bishop Concanen, Consecrated I'm 1903,
Died In 1910, Before Reaching His
see-Was Imprisoned In Naples.

The first Bishop of New York was
the venerable Dominican, Rt. Rev. Luke
Concanen, who was consecrated at
Rome on the oath of April, 1903, but
who was fated never to administer the
affairs of the diocese, but died two
years later in Naples, to the great
grief of the people who had been anx-
iously waiting to extend him an af-
fectionate welcome on his return from
Rome. Those were troublous times
for the Church in Europe, as well as
for the nations that came into conflict
with Napoleon's overtowering ambi-
ton.
Bishop. Concanen, though born in
ireland, was educated i'm Rome, where
he acquired SO much influence that
ecclesiastical appointments in Ireland
were usually determined by his advice.
He was also interested In the missions
of America, and to some extent, was
the founder OF the Dominican convent
of st. Rose i'm Kentucky, which he sus-
tanned by his contributions to the end
OF his life.
In 1903 he was created first Bishop
of New York, and was also commits
stoned by the Pope to carry the pal
lium to Archbishop Carroll. As his
attempt to sail for the United States
from Leghorn was frustrated by the
disturbed condition of the country, he
went to Naples, whence he expected to
sail, but was arrested by order OF
Murat, on the pretext that he was a
British subject. He was imprisoned
in the convent OF st. Dominic at
Naples, and the hardships he endured
caused his death. He died on the
10Th OF June, 1910.

THE DIOCESE OF BISMARCK

Abbot Martin Marty, o. S. B., of st.
Meinrad, Indiana, arrived at Stand
ing Rock in the year of 1876, and be-
gan his great work among the Indians.
Shortly afterward he brought some
other Benedictine priests to the mis-
sion fields to spend themselves upon
the poor red man. Two years after
ward Abbot Marty was appointed
of both Dakotas, and
resided for some time at Bismarck.
In a short time the Benedictines
from Collegeville, Minnesota, took
Charge of the missions at Bismarck and
west of Bismarck. Under their foster
ing care churches were built at Man.
dan, Dickinson and Glen Ullin.
German Catholics from Russia
settled around Mandan in 1899, and
about the same time some German
Hungarians arrived at Richardton.
Since then there has always been a
steady immigration of German Cath
olics from those two countries, and
they have become indeed a most i'm
portant element in the development
of western North Dakota.
Monastery at Richardton.
The territory comprising the pres
ent diocese of Bismarck had in 1898
two resident priests among the In
dians and two among the whites;
two churches for the Indians and nine
for the whites. None of the churches
could hold more than two hundred.
of German Catholics from Russia in
Emmons, Morton and Stark counties.
These people were extremely poor,
but accustomed to hard work on the
farm, so they managed all right. And
in five years from that time the Bish-
op of Fargo sent me again to Dick
inson and Richardton to give mis-
sions and to settle some grave diff
fculties that had arisen within those
congregations. Afterward, when
handed him my report, he begged me
to take charge of the mission at
Richardton and to establish there a
Benedictine monastery. In the condi-
tion OF affairs and in the wish of the
Bishop, recognized the will of God,
and, with heavy heart, took charge
of the Richardton mission. God has
blessed the work, however, and the
monastic community grew larger and
stronger, and the missions entrusted
to the Monastery thrived even better.
The Apostolic See in 1903 raised
the monastery to the dignity of an
abbey. This fact, and the growing
number of missionary priests in west
ern North Dakota gave to the Catho-
lie looking toward the West for a new
home, a confidence that his religious
needs would have attention, and it
brought steady influx of Catholic
immigrants into large regions of
western North Dakota.
Finally the parochial schools in diff
ferent missions and the Monastery
Church, built from 1906 to 1909, acted
as beacon-lights to give cheer and con-
fidence to home-seeking Catholics
Thus, the country along the North
ern Pacific Railroad west of Bismarck
has become the center of strong
