IN OPPOSITION ID
 APPOINTMENTS
Republicans Said to Have Plan to Engage In Ex- ecultive Session Until Democrats Agree to Con firmatiOn.
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPArcHl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27-The re- publican fight for the confirmation of President Taft's thirteen hundred ap- pointments now pending in the senate will come to a head tomorrow when a republican caucus will be asked by the republican leaders to bind the members to a continuous session behind closed doors in an effort to break down the democratic opposition.
 The caucus has been called ostensib- ly to take up the proposals made by the democrats for a joint committee to weed out the Taft appointments and to select certain ones to be confirmed. It licans will submit to the caucus pro- posed as part of a plan by which the members will bind themselves to at tempt to hold the senate continuously in session until the democrats will be forced to give way.
 It is believed tonight that many re- publicans will not agree to the sug- gested plan. Since the democratic fight against the Taft appointees began, number of executive sessions have been held but the democrats kept up a gen. eral filibuster and prevented action on more than three or four nominations.
 The attitude of the individual repub- licans indicates that the caucus to- morrow will decline to treat with dem- ocrats through a joint committee. In case the plan of continuous filibuster also fails, the situation over the ap- pointments will remain practically un- changed.
 Democratic leaders are apparently determined to bod lnieap 15pub (ea determined to hold in abeyance the fac tion on the appointments until the close of February when it is believed the republicans will be forced to agree to the confirmation of the army, navy, consular, marine corps and public health service appointments. leaving the balance to fail by the expiration of the session on March 4.

ENGLAND FACES
 ANOTHER CRISIS
Two Thousand Policemen Engage In Dispensing Huge Crowds Gathered Near Parliament Build ings.
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

LONDON, Jan. 27.-England is on the bring of another campaign by the suffragettes. in comparison with which the former outbreaks of the militant women will appear insignificant. Two thousand policemen were engaged to- night in dispersing huge crowds gath cred near the parliament buildings. shopkeepers were boarding up their show windows and excited women were making incendiary speeches in several halls.
 The women believe the politicians have played a carefully studied trick upon them and the decision of the gov ernment to drop the franchise bill is likely to lead to serious consequences. In the house of commons today the speaker. Right Hon. James William Lowther. in response to an inquiry by the prime minister, announced that if any amendments to the franchise bill, giving to women the vote, should be adopted he would be obliged to rule that they made it substantially a new bill which would compel it's withdrawal.
 Asquith thereupon announced that the cabinet had decided under such cir cumstances it would be useles to pro- ceed. Tn the meantime the police is having difficulty with the mobs.

CARNEGIE WAS
 TROUBLE MAKER
Witness Says Iron Master Would Not Abide By His
 Agreements and That It
 Was God Send When Con- SOlidatiOn Was Effected.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

NEW YORK. Jan. 27.-Testimony in support of the contention of the government that Andrew Carnegie is a trouble maker in the steel trade. and that the Carnegie Steel Co. was taken over by the United States steel corporation because of his refusal to abide by his agreements, was se- cured today by the government in it's suit to dissolve the corporation un- der the Sherman antitrust law.
 The testimony was given by Walter Scranton, former president of the Lackawanna Steel CO, an independent concern Scranton told of the various steel rail pools which existed in the steel trade before the corporation was organized, of which the Carnegie Steel Co was invariably a member. It appeared from the testimony that Carnegie was responsible for the dis solution of most of the pols.
 Did Carnegie's method of competi- tion give rise to a feeling on the part of the manufacturers against his continuance in the business asked H. E. Cotton, consul for the government.
 "The general feeling was that it would be a God send if Carnegie were out of the business" replied Scranton with a laugh.
 The case of the government, which begun in October, 1911. will probably be completed tomorrow.

GETS BITING NOTE
 FROM ALLIES
Balkan Officials Notify Turk Plenipotentiaries of Proposed Break Off in Peace Negotiations; Re chad Pasha Replies.
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcHl

LONDON, Jan. 27.-A special com mittec appointed by the Balkan plenipotentiaries drafted today d note notifying the Turkish plenipot- entiaries of a proposed break off in the peace negotiations. The note was rot submitted to the Balkan del- egation which held no meeting today Instead the delegates gave a luncheon in celebration of the Saint Day of Saba, Patron of the Orthodox church.
 The note was very brief It re- minds the Turks the sittings of the peace conference have been suspend ed since January 6, without Turkey making any move toward resumption while events at Constantinople are the best proof Turkeys answer to the demands of the allies concerning Adrianople and the Aegean Islands will be negative. On this account, unless the Turkish delegation has fresh proposals the note points out the allies see no alternative but to break the negotiations definitely.
 Rechad Paha. head of the Turkish delegation, in an interview tonight, said he regretted deeply the Obstinacy of the allies. which he declared is not only against Turkeys interests but against their own. He added.
 This obstinacy is more regrettable because while Bulgaria does not need Adrianople either for defensive or offensive purposes the town is indis- pensable to Turkey on account of it's historic sentimental and religious associations.
 The fact is Turkey will be weaker from a military point of view in possessing Adrianople than without it. for a whole army is now immobile inside the fortress
 Turkey has shown a yielding spirit toward the allies ceding a larger area than her own countries before the war. What is the use of assembling a conference if the allies are de- teInnined to make no concessions what ever. The object of the con ference has always been to find a compromise through mutually giving way. If the allies had played q noble part by renOuncing Adrianople Turkey might become a friend and ally of Bulgaria as Austria become the friend and ally of Germany after the war of 1866. If Bulgaria ever gets Adrianople there will be an in- surmOuntable gulf between the two countries and races. The spirit Of revenge in Turkey will be stronger and deeper thu that still left France over the loss of Alsace and Lorraine forty-tWo years ago.

Where, oh where is Willie Webb gone?"
 That was the refrain of song that continued to pour over the wires into the Republican office last night when the Associated Press announced that he had not appeared in Washing ton The local men searched the town. called every state official ap- proachable for information about Webb's wherea bouts Not a whisper concerning the present whereabouts of Arizonas first presidential elector. who was the only messenger absent from the vice presidents roll at closing time last night, could be found here.
 All that could be gathered from his friends here was that he had left on January for Washington with the credentials in his pocket. It was also discovered he planned to spend a day or two in StOpoverS at various points on the road, but no clue could be found of him up to press time. None of the cities in which it was thought he would lay over-Chicago. or St. Louis could give the slightest help in solving the mystery.
 AS a precautionary measure copies of the returns carried by Webb were mailed to the sergeant at arms of the house of representatives in Washing ton the same night the messenger left.
 Sickness or an accident in Or near Chicago were the only theories that could be dug up last night to explain the disappearance of MT Webb. But even these contingencies seem re- mote, when it is rememberd he would certainly have informed his people, who live in Pima, Graham county, and some facts would have leaked out from that place. It was not possible to get word from Pima last evening, but it is practically cer- tain no one there knows any more about the baffling mystery than is known here.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 27- LOST-The electoral vote of Arizona and the bearer Finder please send at once to the office of the vice president of the United States.
 The senators and representative of the baby state of Arizona sent broad cast tonight the foregoing notice when at o'clock the time limit ex- pired for receiving the returns of the national election of November. and Wilfred T Webb, custodian of three perfectly good votes for Wilson and Marshall. failed to appear at the vice presidents office in the capitol AriZona's patriots and legis- lators are much perplexed and dis appointed, for though no political up- heaveal will be caused should the three little votes never be found, they do not want it to be missing from hs- tory's archives-Arizona's first vote for chief executive of the nation.
 For twenty-four hours before the vice presidents office closed for the night. with every electoral vote ex- cept Arizona's filed, systematic search of Washington's hotels and clubs has been conducted in vain for Elector Webb who it was known left Phoenix with his credentials more than ten days ago, due to ar rive here last Saturday. Until late hour tonight the wires were kept singing with messages to points be- tween here and St. Louis. where he was last heard from, in the hope of discovering some information as to the whereabouts of the missing mes- senger. Webb was heard from in St. Louis four or five days ago, but friends can get no word of him from there tonight. Louisville was also asked for information but none was forthcoming.

THE CHURCH IN HAWAII.

The Hawaiian Islands number about
$4,000 Catholics out of population
of 191, 9O9 inhabitants. From Sept. l,
1911, to Sept, 1912, there were 2,289
baptisms of children, 10S baptisms of
adults, 3S3 marriages, and 900 con-
firmations. The islanders contributed
100000 to the Society for the Propa-
CATION of the Faith. The development
of the church has been marvellous in
these islands It's evangeliZation be-
gan only in 1929, when the Holy See
entrusted the Hawaiian Islands to the
Congregation of the Sacred Hearts
commonly called of Picpus). Father
Bachelot, S. H. Pic, was sent to Homo
lulu as project apostolic with two
other priests, Fathers Short and Ar
mand; and two lay brothers. In 1881
the priests were expelled and perse-
cution ragged against the Church for
several years. Although confirmed
again in 1885 as project apostolic of
Hawaii, Father Bachelot could not re-
enter his missionary field. 1t was only
in 1910 that vicar apostolic was
given Hawaii, and Right Rev. ROUGH
ouze was the first Bishop of the Is
lands.

TENNESSEE PRIEST HAS CHURCH
TO WHICH PRESIDENT JOHN

Father E. F. Callahan, "The Man

of the Catholic Extension Society, last
week. Father Callahan is one of the
hardest working priests of the South,
and he literally lives on horseback.
His work is among the poor noun
taineers.

Catholic descent and ancestry in my
mission fields" said Father Callahan,

Faith and extend the Church" And
he is not only trying to do it, but
he has done it. He has built up a
whole string of missions, and he has
mission house at one place and also
a mission school Father Callahan
has no priest to help him. Between
missions, and while he is resting, he
gets out paper, the only one Of its
kind we have ever heard of, for it
is written and edited on horseback
He calls it the l. H. S. and it comes

the transfer of the property, and
therefore believed that the Madame
Renaud who died in that house, and
who left the furniture and keepsakes
that he knew so well, was his mother.
And all these years I have believed
that the captain, in good faith, told
me: that Henri had gone down with

All these long, terrible years have

it was because the joy was greater
than the faithful heart could well
bear.
Later in the day, Madame Renaud

the church to finish the prayer that
had been so strangely interrupted by
the granting of it's petition, and to
make fitting thanksgiving to Our Lady
of Perpetual Help, who had SO gen.
erously redeemed the pledge which
her title bestows upon her clients.
The next morning, as usual, the
ocean spray, catching the sunlight in
it's mist, splashed against the church
walls; the refreshing salt air blew
through the open windows and across
the framed face that looked out from
her dimmed background The little
fleet, with the lights well trimmed,
swung rhythmically; and kneeling
once more, and now for the last time
in that church, was the bent, black

THE INTERRUPTED PRAYER

1t was a day in late spring. Be-
meath one of the votive lamps in the
little church, and facing the picture
of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, knelt
figure whose very attitude symbol
lied prayer. Her intense, burning
gaze saw beyond the picture, the
church, the sea; her whole body and
soul were offering a petition with a
fervor that needed not the medium
of the lips-they we're closed. But
suddenly, in the midst of this voice
less prayer, she fell unconscious to
the floor.
A young girl, who had entered the
church a few moments earlier and
who, in walking through the aisles,
had noted with interest and reverence
the absorption of the woman. in prayer,
was about to leave, when the shuffling
sound from the elder woman's pew
attracted her attention, and she was
Immediately at her side. When,
through the efforts of the girl, the
woman revived and sat back tremb-
ling, the colorless, quivering lips ex-
pressed her thanks with an appeal
ing humility. The girl noticed how
frail the woman was and how help
lessly weak; how poorly clad, yet
how Enthusiastically refined. The ill
nourished frame told of prolonged
fasts imposed either by penance or
by poverty; and the young sympath-
etic heart went out to her; but the
girl was afraid to ask questions, lest
she wound the poor, broken spirit.
But when she had brushed back the
white strands from the whittier brow,
had adjusted the plain little bonnet,
and had smoothed the folds in the
worn shawl, she ventured request:
Madame will permit me to accom-
pany her homer"
"No, Mademoiselle, and thank you
with all my heart. God will bless and
reward you But-I-I-must remain
here-longer. My prayer was not fin
ished, and If l go now I may not be
able to come back today. Thank
you, child! But go: feel better, and,
in any case, / must fl"

posed the girl; for she had seen the
lips grow white again from the effort
to talk. 81 can not leave you like
this. 1 pray you pardon me, Madame
butts it not so that you came early
to Mass, perhaps to receive Com
munion, and then waiting to pray

"Ah, yes, I knew" as her charge
acQuiesced with a scarcely perceptible
movement of the head. Listen, then
Madame, shall go with you, if yor

of tea or some food, promise tt

The little cottage In which she LIVED
being near the church, she was soor
at home.
"You are too kind; am not useC
to such services" said the weak voice
as deft hands were gently removing
the bonnet and shawl, and arranging
pillows comfortably in the armchair
near the sunny window.
