WOMEN'S BRANCH
SHOWS YEAR OF ADVANCE

DelaWares delegates to the Ma
tional Convention of the Ancient
Order Of Hibernians arrived home
last evening and Mrs Daniel T. Kill
roy and Miss Mary Lowell, Ladies'
Auxiliary delegates, will be home
this evening as they visited Niagara
Falls on their way back to Delaware.
State President John i. Healy in
speaking of the convention today
said It was the best that has been
held in years and the $50 delegates
had an interesting time. The Order
went on record against drinking
clubs being maintained in connec-
ton with halls owned, controlled or
rented by the order. Social clubs
were considered menace to the
good of the order and the A. o. II.
constitution was so amended that the
clubs must be closed.
The National Board went on record
in support of the decision of Bishop
Carroll, National Chaplain. that all
members with Socialistc tendencies
cannot remain members of the order.
II is either "Hibernianism or Social
ism" but no member of the A. o. II.
can be affiliated with both. The
Delaware case to come before the
National Board was the first on re-
cord.
The convention donated $1,000 for
the perpetuation of the Gaelic Ian
guage.
Loyalty Of the Irish race in Amer
lea to the Roman Catholic Church
was shown by the presentation of
$3s,000 to the Church Extension So
ciety Chapels will be built in the
south and west where no churches
are at the present time
Norfolk, Va, was selected as the
next place of convention. John r.
Flood, OF Norfolk led the fight for
his home city Dayton. Ohio. Phila-
delphia and Honolulu we're in the
field for the 1914 convention but Nor
folk was an easy winner
President Healy said that the unan-
imous reelection of National Presi-
dent James j. Regan. of st. Paul,
Mimi. was a deserved compliment 10
jealous worker for the order. Har-
ing agreed to give his full time 10
