Soule becomes the property of
the Catholic slsterhood.
The Methodist church, owner
OF the property has sold the col

Under the impression given by
Bishop Hennessey of Wichita
the slsterhood will expend some
fifteen thousand dollars in re-
building and remodeling the
school property to the uses of
the school.

With the growth and develop

City as natural location for the

On this subject Bishop Hen

those familiar with the situation
makes the above suggestion pos
sible.

CHURCH ASKS
DEATH PROBE

Scoring the authorities for their
failure to fix the responsibility for
the death of 17-year-old Albert
Faulks, the Central High School pupil
who was shot during the strike riot
at Orange street and Clifton avenue
June 5, the board of the Roseville
Methodist Episcopal Church today
sent a communication to the mayor
and the prosecutor demanding a full
investigation.
The resolution adopted by the board
is in part as follows:
. That we call upon our mayor, as the
executive head of our city, responsible
for Its good order, police protection and
security, and upon the prosecutor of the
pleas Of our county, responsible for the
investigation and prosecution of its
crime, to thoroughly sift and fix the re-
sponsibility for this sad occurrence and
for the conditions which led up to 1t, to
the end that this young life, so needless
iy taken, may yet not have been sacri-
feed in vain.

follows:
20, Lord, who art the loving
Father OF all mankind, the just
rtllef-nf the nations. the ever
lasting God whose counsel of
righteousness and truth pre-
vaileth over the waves of pas

we bless Thee that Thou hast

peoples of the earth and hast
been our strength in every con-

time of need.

gracious Providence. Thou hast
destined 1t to become the Prom
ised Land of Liberty and
Equality. the home of the free.

goal of the strong and the as

law of the land, for our goodly
heritage of tolerance and peace.

hast been with our fathers.
Help us to prove ourselves
worthy of Thy blessings. Make
us mindful of our duties as

Strikers Are
Back at Work
IRON a stsft Correspondent


PERTH AMBOY. June 19.-The
strike in this city is over. The labor
war. which has cost the lives of six
men and injured many others, is at
an end. Although the men at the
Barber Asphalt Company refused to
go back yesterday and several other
plants are still negotiating. it is gem
orally conceded that it is all over and
there will be no more trouble.
The American Federation of Labor
is conducting an investigation TO fix
the responsibility of the shooting and
killing of the strikers. Joseph Tyl-
koff, general organizer of the A. F.
of L., says that the men who did
most OF the shooting were not sworn
in as deputies, but were simply hired
by the company to protect its prop
erty.
The men of the Standard Under
ground Gable Works went back to
work today. Meetings are being held
by the strikers of the various af-
fected industries, and 1t is expected
the men will go back In a short time.
