Catholics in the archdiocese OF New

warning sent by Cardinal Farley that
they should guard against being imposed
on by a group Of Orientals who call them
to raise funds for various charitable
purposes which they describe.
They have had their headquarters In
Washington street and from there have
gone about New York and even up the
State making rich hauls from the Catholic
clergy to whom they have appealed.

the band IL a real priest OF the Syriac
rite who Ia in this country without the
consent Of his home bishop. The others
are Syrians. Armenians and Jacobites.
some Of them Mohammetlans and many
Of them not Christians.

seminary at DunwoOdie the last band

forced to take up a field Of operations

an Oriental coming from Babylonia.

up such Information AS gave proof OF
the fact that they were here merely for
the purpose Of enriching their own pocket
books. He spread abroad this infOrma-
ton with the result that the would be
priests left for other parts Of the country.
According to DIR. Oussani groups Of
Orientals have been coming over here
Us often as every six months for the
past four or five years. The credentisls Ia
in some cases are genuine. though how
they were obtained ia not known. 1t

says that. when questioned. the fahir

the doctor mentions has come here in
defence Of III. Bishop. with the avOwed
intention of taking In no less than So, 900.
He il said to have worked upon the sym

$50 lumber mill strikers captured and
corralled to-day in the Hoquiam bull
pen by an armed body OF 100 citizens were
shipped out of town tonight in box cars.
The action Of the committee OF vigiantes
ia believed to have broken the backbone
Of the lumber mill strike which for two
weeks has tied UP practically every mill
on Grays Harbor.
When the strikers began appearing at
the mills at $50 o'clock this morning for
picket duty they found a committee OF
citizens in charge. Each striker had the
option of going to work or getting out of
town. Those who refused TO go TO work
were thrown into the bull pen.

who was arsested several days ago and
jailed on a charge OF conspiracy, was
