The steady growth of the Church
in England is shown in two ways-by
increase in churches and by increase
in numbers. Cardinal Bourne recently
laid the foundation stone of a new
church at Palmers Green, a growing
northern suburb of London, while
Bishop Lacy performed the same cere-
mony at Redcar. Where churches al
ready exist valuable adjuncts, such as
parish halls and Institutes are spring
ing up, and last month saw the open
ing of the new Cathedral Hall at Ply
mouth, where the Catholic Congress
lately met, and the opening of Our
Lady's Institute at West Battersea
This last is a settlement of the Cath
Ollie Women's League, whence several
valuable social movements will radi-
ate. On recent statistics it would be
quite safe to say that not day passes
without at least ten converts being
received into the Church throughout
the country.

Here is the conversion of a French
Deputy, M. Zavaes, an old enemy of
the religious in general and the Car
thusians in particular He has now
published retraction of anti-religious
opinions. In this he says: "No hon
est man today but regrets joining the
ranks of those who attack needlessly
the humble dwellings of suffering pow
erty. The veil has fallen, and we see
clearly that the Sisters of Charity have
been thrust out that their revenues
might be seized for the national bud
get. The true enemies of the people
are the Freemasons of the Rue Cadet
and their allies, the Radical Social
ists." This declaration has created
profound impression.

SIGNS or BETTER TIMES

From time to time we read of incl
to lessening of bigotry where for
merly it has been entrenched. These
facts help to Offset the evil happen
ings about which we hear SO much.
Progress continues to mark the
Church in England. Having obtained
the bare right of procession, those out
door acts of piety are now becoming
more ornate and interesting to the
man in the street, whom they so much
attract. Recently the note of pagean-
try was introduced into the CONNER
cial Road procession, with very good
effect. Another procession in a poor
district, Mapping of river fame, was
notable for the number and beauty of
the shrines along the route. Each
humble Catholic house was decorated
and had an altar in the windows, often
with statues of the Sacred Heart of
Our Lady. These were blessed by the
local priest as the procession passed.
At Willesden the procession of the
Blessed Sacrament was actually held
in the public thoroughfare, and the
non-Catholic spectators were very rev.
erent in their demeanor Another sign
of advance is the restoration of one
ancient pilgrimage after another to it's
place in the life of Catholic England.
Catholics from all over the country
visited the interesting and picturesque
old town of st. Adams, with it's glori-
GUS abbey church, and gathered
around the shrine of Britain's first
martyr, to recite prayers for their
country's return to the ancient faith.

HUGHES ON JOB
New Chief Is One of Busiest
Men i'm City.
He Places Walter Bryant Back
on Force.

The first patrolman to be let out is
Rufus Fraser, colored,. who will be
asked to turn in his star tonight.
Chief Hughes announced this noon the
appointment of Walter Bryant, a for
mer officer, in his place. Fraser testi-
fled a few days ago in a liquor case
in the district court that he had not
seen any drinking going on in room
an alleged joint. Other witnesses
swore that the door between Fraser
and where several were drinking was
open.
1--WE can't afford to keep such a
man on the force" commented the
new chief.
Dan Garden and Otto Anderson,
first sergeant and detective under the
former administration, are on a strike
and so far have refused to turn in
their badges. They expect to test the
civil service law, declaring that they
believe they cannot be removed except
for cause.
ST wish they would turn in their
badges said Chief Hughes. st need
them. The possession of the badges
will cut no figure in their fight to test
the law. And 1 am perfectly willing
to concede that they are reporting for
duty every day.
81 am quite sure the mayor has
power to remove any and all police
officers, with or without cause. But
if it should prove that he has not, he
certainly has power to suspend them
and keep them suspended, which will
have the same effect"
There will be other changes, Hughes
says, but he has not decided yet who
will go out or who will come in. He
expects to build his force up care
fully, and is not thinking of letting
out lot of men without having men
ready to fill their places
Every booze fighter on the force
will have to CO." is the new chiefs
ultimatum. I'VE cannot afford to
keep a man on the force who either
is a drinker, who is a violator of law
or who has been convicted of viola
tons. That is final, and as fast az
possible the booze fighters now in
uniform will be weeded out"
The new chief refuses to discuss flu
ture changes in the force. 1t will be
time enough to talk about them when
the changes are made, he says At
present he is one of the busiest men
in town, and is being followed by a
of wouldbe policemen who are
anxious to get the places of the men
now on the city payroll.

FACTORY AID PLAN.
Expected to Be a Reality in a Few
Weeks.

If the plans of the promotion COM
mitteee of the Commercial club are
carried out successfully in the next
few days the factory aid plan will be-
come a reality in the very near flu
ture.
Wednesday morning at $50 o'clock
c. S. Elliott, chairman of the commit
tee, and his assistants will start a cam
paign for the purpose of increasing the
fund from SIPS, 600 to 5000, 900. When this
is done, the members of the industrial
bureau-the subscribers in other words
will be asked to pay over per cent
of the amount subscribed. This will
bring in $4,000.
Already applications for aid have
been made by the arrangements of con-
Germs that desire to locate in Topeka.
Naturally the majority of these firms
are looking for something for moth
ing" but those interested in the new
plan confidently expect to land some
new factories for Topeka in the next
year.
A meeting of the committee was held
today at the noon hour to work out
the details in respect to the cam
paign.

JOKE WAS ON BRYANT.
He Called kiene to Scott and Nov
He's in Jail to Pray.

The officers think that Forty Bry-
ant tried to pull off a joke on them
last night. But before they were
through the joke was on Bryant. He
called up first the sheriff and then
the police to say that he was a broth
er of Forty Bryant, and gravely told
the officers that Forty had a key
party at his home, 125 North Monroe
street.
Sheriff Kiene with. couple of
deputies and a couple of police Off
GERS went down through the rain and
found Bryant, the sole occupant of his
home, sitting in a half drunken stupor
Three bottles of beer were found and
a sack of empty bottles. Bryant was
the harvested for disturbing the peace,
and was taken to the police station.
Bryant has been out of town for
some time, and in his absence his wife
secured a divorce and possession of
the Monroe street home. Bryant
heard about it and came home, it is
said, chased his ex-wife out of the
house, broke into the building and
then telephoned for the officers.

PARENTS SCHOOL.
More Than One Hundred Turned Out
to See Kids Work.

Delphos, KAN, April S.-Friday was
observed as parents day in the schools
here. The parents Of the students
spent the entire day in the school
buildings.
The children were at work in their
usual studies in the morning. The
children remained at home during the
afternoon and the parents spent the
hours in inspecting the work of their
children and comparing it with the
work of others. The specimens were of
work that has been done this year.
More than one hundred parents took
advantage of the opportunity and this
is sufficient to convince the teachers
that the parents are interested in the
work of their children.

BAN ON PEEKABOOS.
Vassar Faculty to Govern Attire of
GirlS-AIlows Movies"

Poughkeepsie. n. Y. April S.-The
ban against the movies" was raised
today by the Vassar faculty, to the
great joy of the girl students, but
gloom once more settled over the
campus when it was announced that
strict embargo would be placed upon
the wearing of airy, peekaboo frocks
on the streets of the city.
The faculty decided about a month
ago that the regular attendance of
great number of the students at the
moving picture shows of the city was
impairing their scholastic attachments.
1t was therefore forbidden under PEN
atty of dismissal. The repeal of this
order was received with great joy,
which was, however somewhat lessen
ed by the notice that hereafter only
plain tailored suits might be worn in
the streets. On the campus or at the
theater, however, no dress restrictions
will be applied.
Vassar is not unique in this respect;
many of the larger colleges have
placed a ban uDon peekaboo effects in
female attire.

NORTH SIDE NEWS
Try Tonight to Locate That
Federal Building.
e. p. Gets As Cars Stone for the
JettieS.

A meeting of the North Topeka Civic
club has been called for tonight at
Fire Station No. 1 to discuss the pro-
posed location for the new federal
building. Several locations have been
offered, among them being the south
east corner of Laurent and Kansas
avenue the southwest corner of Cor
don and Kansas avenue, the present
site of the old Adams House, the Ham
ley property on Norris and Quincy and
the site of the old Quincy school
building. The business men of North
Topeka are very much opposed to the
site of the old Quincy school as that
would take the postoffice out of the
business section and Fred Voiland pres
ident of the Civic club, has requested
that the school board should not sell to
the government. A petition which has
received many signatures, has been cir
culated by Mrs. Maths, who owns part
of the property at the corner of Gordon
and Kansas avenue, to have the new
building placed there. The bids will be
opened on the tenth of April at Wash
ington and a decision is expected
soon.
