BISHOP KENNEDY
BONORED in
ROME
HEAD OF AMERICAN COLLEGE
CELEBRATES HIS TWENTY
FIFTH ANNIVERSARY


Rome, July 25.--In the chapel
where 25 years ago he was ordained
priest. the Rt Rev. Thomas +. Ken
nedy. the popular and distinguished
rector of the American college in
Rome. today celebrated mass and re-
ceived the congratulations of host
of friends and admirers on the occa-
sion Of his sacerdotal jubilee. The
pope and practically all Of the mem
bers of the Sacred college resident in
Rome, together with host of other
high officials at the Vatican were
among those who offered thir con-
gratulations to Bishop Kennedy, and
in addition the Amer can prelate re
ceived bundle of felicitous messages
from his personal friends among the
clergy and laity of the Roman Catho-
lie church in the United States.
Few churchmen in Rome, outside
Of the limited circles of high Vatican
officials, enjoy wider measure of
fame than the rector OF the Ameri-
can college, and it is safe to say that
none is more highly esteemed. 1t
is now more than ten years since the
late Pope Leo XIII, largely upon the
recommendation Of Mr.. Satolli, called
Bishop Kennedy to Rome to fill the
rectorship of the North American
college.
Previous to his appointment as rec
tor of the college the young Ameri-
can prelate was connected with st.
Charles Theological seminary, near
Philadelphia Mgr Satolli, at that
time apostolic delegate to the United
States, visited the seminary and was
particularly impressed with the work
being carried on there by Mgr Ken
nedy. The apostolic delegate declared
that nowhere in America had he seen
a training school for priests so close
ly approaching the models and high
standards established in Rome.
Bishop Kennedy has met with
equal success in his rectorship OF the
North American college, which is now
conceded to be the most important
of the foreign colleges in Rome. |
From the beginning of his service he
has distinguished himsel by his busi-
ness ability, his governing power, his
taet and courtesy in dealing with the
large number of visitors from the
United States.
The attendance at the college has
beyond all precedents. The
students have been more successful
than ever before in their competition
with the students of other colleges
at the propaganda, The rector has
won the admiration and commenda-
lion not only of the various cardinals
with whom he comes in contact, but
the heads of the various
congregations, of the cardinal secre-
tary of state and Of the Holy Father
All those acquainted with what is
going on in high Vatican spheres
know that Bishop Kennedy is per-
soma gratissima at headquarters and
that he is considered to deserve a
high distinction. but he remains rec
Tor of the American college, it is
said, chiefly to crafty the desire of
The Pope that he should remain long
er than any of his predecessors at
the head of the institution.

mated that there are over 100000 men
in Manhattan and Brooklyn who have
from 800 to $1,000 invested in jew

As for paintings and other works
of art, when one man (H. C. Frick)
pays 100000 for a portrait of an old

surmised that the amount invested
in such possessions is simply enor-

end to the variety of costly fads of
the collectors. One New Yorker will
devote 100000 to a butterfly collec-

 \ TRUST BUSTER Value of it Demonstrated in Standard Oil and Tobac- co Gases Says MT.
 Wickersham. REMEDY FOR THE EVIL Attorney General Wickersham Says sherman Law Should Be En- forced Against All Great
 Corporations.
REMEDY FOR THE EVIL
(By SIDNEY EPSEY.)

Washington, Aug. 31.-In an eX- elusive interview with Attorney Gen eral George Woodward Wiskersham of the Department of Justice, the ef- fectiveness of the Sherman antitrust law as an instrument for breaking up monopolies and restoring competition was clearly explained. That the chief trust buster of the present adminis- tration is of the opinion that the law about needed reforms in both com mercial and industrial life and to re- duce the present high cost of living without bringing about radical chang es in the body polite is evident from his remarks.
 Mir. Wickersham says that the Sher- man Jaw as has been demonstrated in the Standard Oil and American Tobacco cases, and will be adequate to compel the disintegration Of mon opolistic combinations into parts nt one of which shall i'll it's essentla eontriction be an unlawful c0mDiha ton. nor of sufficient power in an, particular industry to constitute /monopoly.

eral. But the results of those cases indicate that with respect to organl- cations of long growth juries are in disposed to convict and that civil proceedings on the equity side of the court will prove more effective
 The Department of Justice has re- gently tried three criminal cases.
 The prosecution of the packers at Chicago and bath tub trust at De-
 troit, and the Parsons sugar trust case in New York. The attorney gen.
 eral thinks that verdicts of guilty i in such cases are almost impossible l to obtain, unless there is evidence of
 wilful unfair, fraudulent or vicious
 conduct, directly and injuriously at-
 feeting competitors or the public, ju-
 TOTS are prone to lenlancy. He
 also says that it is nearly impossible
 to get verdict and very difficult to convict criminally for participation
 ill contracts or combinations in re-
 straint of interstate commerce, or foe
 cndeavorin2 to monopolize business.
 The attorney general says that the
 day of unrestrained competition long
 ago passed Cooperation is essential
 he thinks to the success of business
 and he says also that the tendency among buiness men now in every l field of activity is in that direction Formerly, he said, biz businesses t were partnerships. This day has , passed, because of the unlimited re- I sbonsibility imposed on partnerships f Then came the growth of incorpotat' - close relations between them by V agreement and through reciproca p stock ownership, forcing out the indi : vidual and shutting off all competi l. ton.
 g In explaining remedy for thl ' evil, Mr Wickersham, continuing Il said.
 Probably no one thing has don d and the growth of monopoly than tn n departure from the early law tha te one corporation cannot own stock l n- another. That departure was tn 10 most baneful result of the laisse al faire policy in dealing with corpora D. tions to which the country abandon " ed itself during the last 30 veal a of the 18th century.
 If congress should enact that I le corporation engaged in intersta of commerce shall hereafter acqull ,s stock of another the axe would Il al deed be laid at the root of the tu W. evil. But justice to the lnnoeel H. holders of. the securities would I .h nuire that consideration be given Ii their case and steps be taken f al their protection.

 There are 701 employees in the Navy Department, not taking into account any of the men employed at the Navy Yard and their average pay is Sl,192.

 Exact figures on the employees of the Agricultural Department were a0t available but it was stated by both the appointment diviscion and the dsbursing clerk that the 5000 cmployes there do not average more than $1,000 a year in wages.
 The State Department owing to the small number of persons employ ed, presents the most favorable show inc of any government department Including the salary of the secretary ard the heads of the divisions and Bureaus, excepting persons employed i1 tte foreign service, there are 22z persons who are paid $337 ,660 a year an average of $1,521.
