The funeral of James F. Gardner,
aged seventy and for twelve years
Councilman from the Ninth ward,
was held Saturday morning from the
Sacred Heart church, attended by
many sorrowing relatives and
friends. A native of Ireland, James

man, and by thrift and integrity
became widely known in business
circles. Always a stanch Democrat,
he was for years active in politics
and a strong advocate of Louisville's
advancement. Stricken with rheu-
matism, he was years ago compelled
to r4iinquish his business activities,
anH for the past eight months he
was unable to leave his home at

SISTERS WIN LIBEL SUIT.

Unpnjudiced Protestant jurors
decided in just two minutes that
the Journal of Silverton, Oregon,
was guilty of libel. The suit, II will
be recalled, was brought by the
Benedictine Sisters OF Mt. Angel,
Oregon. A woman named Lasenan
had entered the convent as a
novice, but in a short time made
her escape" To a minister OF the
town she told a story that fairly
made the good mans hair stand on
end. The Journal was promptly
called in and the juicy morsel was
printed with flaming headlines and
spread broadcast. Prominent cit
lzens OF the place at once urged the
Sisters 20 bring suit, and this was
finally done. When Il came TO
selecting a jury, Catholics and
Catholic sympathizers were rigidly
excluded. From start to finish the
defense was of the weakest kind and
really amounted TO nothing. The
verdict was as stated above. II was
the only verdict possible for a jury
OF unprejudiced gentlemen. The
Sisters sued for $4,000; but they
win probably be entirely satisfied
with Rooseyeltian damages. The
Menace hastened to gobble this rich
bait and spoiled a lot OF poor paper
In it's exploitation. Were suit
brought against the Aurora muck
heap II probably would crawl behind
the Journal and insist that In print
ing the story II was inspired by ths
highest motives and had no means
Of knowing that the story was un
