MEMORABLE OVATION
FOR CARDINAL FARLEY
Three-QuarterS of Million Peo-
ole See Him Driven to
the Cathedral.

NEW YORK. January 1S.-Illumination
last night Of st. Patrick's Cathedral with
$1,000 electric lights strung to the very
tips of the two great spires ended a
memorable day of ovation for John Car
dinal Farley on his return to America
as a newly created prince of the church.
1t is estimated that three-quarters of a
million people saw his eminence driven
from the Battery, where he landed, up
Broadway and 9TH avenue to the cathe-
dral. So unbounded was the enthusiasm
Of many who sought to kiss his ring that
mounted police were obliged to charge
the throngs repeatedly.
Dressed in his scarlet robes, the car
dinal rode in an open carriage through
a line of people and friends for more
than four miles
Chorus of Six Thousand.
At the cathedral it was only by force
that way was made for him through the
crowd. Six thousand childrens voices
were raised in the "Te Deum" as he
entered. In thanks for the welcome his
eminence spoke with great feeling and
delivered the blessings Of Pope Plus x.
Coming now from his sacred pres
ence," he said, land after several pri-
vate audiences in which he opened his
fatherly heart as to a loving son, and
after hearing that voice. which seemed

church's enemies, l have returned with u
confidence more full than ever before that
God has placed in the chair Of Peter a
man after Christ's own heart, to meet
the needs of time.
Not only is that feeble old man calm
and unlroubled, but one sees that his
PLACID ins.stence is founded on the pro-
found faith of the saints, strong as
adamant in the belief that God is with
him and his church as He had promised
He would ever be-

COURT REFUSES ORDER
TO FORCE A DECISION
Holds Member of Cabinet Au-
thorized by Congress
to Fix Time.

Justice Barnard of the District Supreme
Court has refused to compel Secretary oil
the Interior Fisher to approve or disap
prove the award Of the commission as tt
the value of land to be taken for Nerd.
ian Hill Park. Thomas w. Stubblefiel6
and Garfield A. Street. owners of a por-
ton of the property to be condemned re.
quested a mandamus to require action By
the Secretary on the plea that he had
consumed an unreasonable time in reach
ing q decision as to his action in the
matter.
Secretary Fisher answered that his du
ties are manifold and that such time az
he has been able to give has been de-
voted to a consideration of the reasonable
ness of the award.
In refusing the request for writ Of
mandamus Justice Barnard says: Con
gress not only placed the responsibility
Of determining the value of the ground
upon the Secretary of the Interior, but
it seems also to have given him discre-
ton as to the time for determining the
questions before him, and il for any
reason which he may deem sufficient he
is unable to say that the appraisement
made is reasonable the whole scheme viii
become imperative.
Unable to Find Remedy.
IL the court Sidl issue IT'S AHdHudee
as requested all that 1t can do will be to
tell the Secretary that he must proceed
to consider and decide whether or not
this appraisement is reasonable, and the
answer says that is what is being done
at the present time.
Can the court say that he must decide
this question within certain limited
time? Has he not been given discretion
as to the time in which he must act, as
fully as court is given discretion as tc
the time in which 1t must consider and
act upon cases submitted to it?''
The court holds that it cannot say, as
matter of law or presumption of fact
that the Secretary has already had suffi-
cient time and should have already de-
cided the matter

the petitioners. The Secretary was rep
resented by Assistant Attorney General
Cobb.

THE SULTAN OF TURKEY
AND HIS FLAG OF GREEN
If He UnfurIs 1t There May Be
Some Trouble in This
Peaceful World.

Unrealized by the world, the Sultan OF
Turkey has at his right hand button
which he can press and fire the great
est mine whose explosion has ever shaken
Christendom. 1t is the Green Flag. now
furled in the white tile and marble tenn
pie in the middle of the Old Scarf. over
looking the Bosphorus. This is the flag
of Mohammed. the rallying point about
which all Islam would flock were the tat
tered banner to be raised. The hoistins
of the Green Flag would be the signal to
Mohammedans everywhere that the war
between Italy and Turkey had developed
from a political quarrel into religious
war.
What the result of this would be it is
hard to say. but any one who knows the
fighting capacity of religious fanatic
can guess And the Moslems are said by
the Christians to be the greatest religious
fanatics in the world. 1t is not even in
mated that the Sultan of Turkey will play
this last trump card.
1t may be that he will submit to NOM
inal defeat rather than resort to this eX-
treme. just as Russia is said to have
made terms with Japan without the ex-
penditure of the Holy Cold of the en-
pire, which would have financed the Jap
anese war at least year longer.
Got It Straight From Heaven.
Every one interested in international
politics has heard of the Green Flag and
the proclaiming of a holy war when some
Mahdist chief or prophet got few thou
sand of his followers wiped out with
British machine guns in Africa. But such
a thing was never the real jaed The
Green Flag is the banner of Mohammed,
confided to him by the Angel Gabriel
rusalem on the winged horse Borak. 1t
is the symbol of the sultans religious
power and 1T marks the difference be-
tween the Sultan of Turkey, ruling
24,OOO.OOO divided and disseminated Turks
and the Successor of the Prophet and the
22OOOO.OOO Moslems peopling the bulk of
the middle and far east.
It's an Old Rag.
The banner is nearly 1900 years old
1t is tattered, frayed and faded. The
bullion with which it is embroidered is
dulled by time, but it is the symbol of
the most militant religious movement
fetch for which over 2OO. 600 Of the
best fighting men in the world would
gladly die II only the Turkish sultan
gives the signal.
Italy has found that already she has
stirred up rather hornets nest in Trip
oil. 1t may be true that the natives
there were overtaxed and maltreated by
the Turks. But the Italian forces found
when they landed in Africa that the
Arabs would rather be abused by their
co-religionists than saved. by the "un-
believers"

German Reports Regarding Com
m0n-NeW Record Price.

The Canadian Pacific Railway Company.
according 10 adviccs received i'm Wall Street
from Germany, is considering an increase
in its capital stock, and may double the
common. This stock, which Berlin has been
steadily buying for weeks. touched new
high level yesterday at go. On the first
day of this month it closed al 253l?. and it
sold at 234i2 at the beginning of the year, its
gain in less than FIVE months having been
about 80 points.
The Canadian Pacific operates, in addition
TO a railway system, steamship lines on the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans and several
great hotels. and also owns vast quantity
of land, considerable tracts Of which II
sells each year. The company has 500 0o,-
coo authorized common stock. OF which
$50, 00o.oo0 Is outstanding, and S707s,e66 4
per cent non-cumulative preferred stock.
The current yearly dividend on the COM
mon Is 10 per cent, Of which per cent is
paid from the proceeds of railway opera
ton and per cent from the land sales and
other sources of income.
According to the reports the company
may double its authorized common stock ct
500, 600 coo, a proceeding which would give
a fine melon" to the shareholders. and II
is said that s per cent would probably he
paid on the increased capitalization against
the present 10 per cent. The object of the
stock increase, it is reported, Is to make IT
possible TO give the shareholders larger
return than at present while avoiding the
criticism which might accompany a further
advance in the dividend rate on the COM
mon stock now outstanding, and also to OBJ
viste the necessity or lowering freight

CROP MARKET REPORT
Heavy Offerings Sent Wheat
Prices Downtown Inactive.

Following the downward movement which
was in evidence on Wednesday, the wheat
market suffered further decline yester-
day, occasioned BY heavy selling and poor
demand The general reports were of bet
ter crop conditions With a more cheerful
outlook. which naturally had a depressing
effect on high prices. The opening OF the
wheat market was marked by irregular
movements, preceded by slight advance,
hut the strength was only temporary and
offerings became free.
Doubtless the recent Improvement in the
outlook Is responsible for many holders I'M
loading. Liquidation in all stages was
general yesterday, and while prices were
stronger In early trading they declined
sharply when wheat took the lead. Winter
wheat reports show an Improvement Of from
to 3 points since May /, and in the
Northwest the condition Is exceptionally
good. Corn also declined, as offerings were
heavier from the big interests and profess
slonals oats also showed weakness. The
crop market although very quiet. showed a
steadier tone, but at the opening there
were declines recorded ranging TO 2 points
There was nothing fresh in the way OF
news which could be considered response
BILE for rally. but prices worked up from
opening figures TO a net advance or ana
points. The cotton market was dull;
the prices slightly lower, due to more sell
ing than buying. but the buying was very
moderate. Reports from the weather dis
tricts affecting cotton gave forecast Of gem
orally fair weather, which the bears seized
as reason for selling. There was some
good buying, just enough TO keep the tone
II the market steady during the decline.
