THE CATHOLIC SUMMER SCHOOL
FOUNDED AT CLIFF HAVEN MORE
THAN TWENTY YEARS AGO.

The Catholic Summer School of
America is a teaching institution
founded in 1892 to furnish opportunity
for general education to Catholics dur
ing the summer months. The idea of
it's founders was, in the words of one
of them, the lamented Brother Azarias,
''to have the most prominent Catholics
in the country and such foreign Cath
olics as might be available to lecture
from the Catholic point of view on all
the issues of the day in history, in
literature, in political science, upon
the economic problems that are agi-
tating the world, upon the relation be-
tween science and religion, to state in
the clearest possible terms the prin-
ciple and underlying truth in each and
all of these subjects; to remove false
assumptions and correct false state
ments; to pursue the calumnies and
ISLANDERS uttered against our Creed and
Church to their last lurking place"
In 1893 tract of ground was pur-
chased at Cliff Haven on Lake Cham
plain, three miles south of Plattsburg,
and charter was obtained from the
Regents of the University of the State
of New York. For twenty years now
the school has held it's sessions on its
own grounds, nearly nile square in
extent, beautifully situated on the
lake. Every opportunity for the out
door life, for golfing, for tennis, boat
ing, bathing and sports of various
kinds is afforded for young and old.
While the lectures claim attention
morning and evening, abundant oppor-
tunity for sports is left during the
afternoons. Attendance at lectures is
not compulsory, but about one-half of
those on the grounds are usually pres
ent and many of the evening lectures
are overcrowded. Besides lectures,
musical entertainments, vocal and in
strumental, are given and special care
is taken for the amusement of chill
dren. Growing young folks, have a
healthy, happy, hearty time in the
charming atmosphere of the grounds
where Mass is said every morning by
many priests and attended by many
people, the Rosary is said every even
ing and other devotions faithfully kept
up. The inspector of the State Board
of Regents in New York declared that
the discipline of the Summer School
was simply marvellous and rendered
more so from the fact that there was
no external sign of it.
Most Of the distinguished Catholics
of the country and many well known
foreigners have lectured at the Cath.
olic Summer School. All the Presi-
dents of the United States and the
Governors of New York State since its
foundation have visited the grounds
during their term of Office.

New York, October 26.A-In an address
before an interdenominational church
meeting in a Broadway theatre today,
William Sulzer explained that 1t was
not a question of patronage-appoint-
ment to office-that led to his rupture
with Charles F. Murphy leader OF Tam
many Hall and resulted in his impeach-
ment and removal from the office of
governor.
"The truth, however. is.' Sulzer de-
clared, that my trouble with the boss
arose out Of our conceptions of honesty
and dishonesty
The deposed governor also asserted
that ''Hennesy is telling the truth" ad-
ding that "Hennessy Is going to tell the
story of the canal graft later on
Summing up his story, Sulzer said
my real trouble with Mr.. Murphy
was on account OF graft He wanted
me to let the graft go on. / refused
If ] had agreed | would be the governor
today. but because I made up my mind
that l was going to do my duty and
that no influence would control me
in its performance, but the dictates of
my conscience. Mr.. Murphy set in mo-
tion every agency. he could command
until ] was finally removed from office
because Mr.. Murphy had the votes to do
1t in the legislature.
THAT is the story-the story OF

RECORDSSHOWMANY
'VAGRANCY ARRESTS
Bodeker Points to Number
of Convictions by Off
GERS in Courts

That the criticism of the work of the
police department in handling the va
grancy question was not borne out by
officials records was a statement made
by Chief Bodeker yesterday
II have been very busy on official
business today Z" said Chief Bodeker
land have not had the time to read the
morning papers and am therefore not
familiar with the matter. Not having
read the criticism 1t would be most I'M
wise to attempt to answer it. However
believe the police records will show
exactly what we have done on this ques-
ton of vagrancy and it is fairly good
record, in my opinion.
The statistics of the ten months be-
tween January 1 and September 80 show
that Detectives Brannon and Perklnson
have arrested 4A persons charged with
vagrancy and have secured 261 convic-
tons In the recorders court. 1t is not
known at the present time how many
were arrested on warrants, but the re-
port of Detectives Brannon and Perkin-
son show that in the period between
January 1 and September 20 that they
secured approximately 475 convictions on
vagrancy before Judge H. b. Abernethy
of the second division of the court of
common pleas. This, believe, is an
excellent refutation of the criticism of
anyone on the vagrancy question"
Sheriff Walter K. McAdory declined to
make any statement
II have nothing to say ut present, .

change my mind and have something

to long established methods he re
peated substantially the outcry of the
bankers against the force bill' and
against the 'confiscatory' clause of the
House measure, contending that the
owners of banking capital should man
age their own property and predicting
total failure if the House scheme
should not be made more advantageous
to the banks
Central Bank Scheme
Now Mr.. Vanderlip comes with q
central bank scheme embodying every
one OF these objectional features. If
national banks will leave the system
under the House bill, how can they be
expected to remain in under Mr. Van
derlip's plan of 'compulsion' and con-
fiscation' and political control?' Has
Mr. Vanderlip forgotten the tremendous
protest of the bankers at Chicago re-
Gently and at Boston later and in pub
lie addresses throughout the country
against the power logged ty the House
bill with the President and with the
federal reserve board over the bankin :
business of the country? The House bill
maintains the integrity of our inde-
pendent banking system, co-ordinating
it and using all strength on the time of
stress, while Mr.. Vanderlip's PROPOSE
tion simply destroys 1t.
Moreover what becomes of the fran
tic protest of the American Bankers as
soeation against that provision of the
House bill which requires the reserve
funds of the country. to be. kept in the
vaults of the individual banks and in
the regional reserve banks2 Mr. Van
derlips plan provides practically the
same thing.
