the prisoners and the officials in

of the various barracks say they are
treated with consideration, and their
representations regarding improve

attention. Most OF the prisoners

But the case was different for a
time with the numerous English sail
ors brought up from Hamburg,
where they were taken from English
ships in the harbor. They suffered
before their kits arrived with blank

Among the prisoners are many
English horsemen from the racing
tracks around Berlin. These while

RECTOR HONORED
At PARISH DINNER
Rev. Paul T. Carew Formally
Welcomed by Orange Con-
gregation.

Rev. Paul T. Carew, who was re-
Gently appointed rector of st. Johns
Catholic Church, Orange, was the
guest of honor at parish dinner
last~night in Columbus Hail. 1t was
an suspicious start to the kermess
which will continue until tomorrow
night. 1t was the first social affair
of the new entertainment committee.
Despite elaborate preparations
made to seat several hundred people
the tables were quickly filled and the
committee had to serve the 500 males
in relays, and a program of vocal and
instrumental music kept the big
crowd in fine humor. Short talks by
priests and laymen were well re-
ceived. Father Carew was deeply
impressed by the cordial welcome.
Probation officer John J. Gascoyne,
chairman of the evening, introduced
Rev Nicholas A. Marnell, pastor of
the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes,
West Orange, and for years one of
the priests of st. Johns parish. as the
first speaker. He told of his appreci-
alton of many kindnesses extended
him during his service in Orange and
thanked Father Carew for his aid
in his new duties in establishing the
West Orange church.
Father Carew thanked the parish
toner's for their exhibition of sincere
friendship and marveled at the large
attendance, despite the storm. He
said his endeavor would be to show
his appreciation of the welcome ac-
corded him by bending his every ef-
fort to be worthy of the good will of
the parish members. He emphasized
the great feature of the Catholic
Church as expressed by the loyalty
of congregations to their priests,
condition unheard of in other spheres
of religious activity.
John J. Dunn, of Boonton, supreme
secretary of the Catholic Benevolent
Legion and a lifelong friend Of Father
Carew, gave an eloquent talk, prais-
ing the new rector and lauding the
work of the Catholic Church in en-
couraging respect for rightful re-
ligious and civil authority. Mr. Dunn
said one of the serious conditions in
American life is the lack of respect
for authority. The Catholic Church,
he said, seeks to combine religion and
morality, and without religion our ma
tionaI ideals will suffer. Without re-
spect for God there cannot be respect
Tor the State, he said, and education
without religious and moral training
will not produce satisfactory results

/ Mayor Daniel F. Mlnihan, Commits
/ sioner William A. Calhoun and Rev.
| Charles F. Shaw, of Kearny, also
gave brief talks. and afterward there
were songs by Edward Meeker and
Thomas r. Fifth and violin solos by
Miss Mary McArdle.
The big assembly hall was gaily
adorned and an artistic arrangement
of the national flag and papal colors
was an effective hrmony. Among the
booths grouped about the corners of
the hall were the country store, nov

She pointed out the Importance Of
having on the national board women
who have worked in winning cam

tragedy of the Nashville convention
that this rule was not observed. The
speaker gave graphic description of
the visiting of the Nevada mining

lumbia and a leading member of
various other charitable organiza-
tons and committees, declared that
in his opinion the National Child
Labor Committee can report to the
American people that its work Is done
and asked to be discharged as soon
as the women of the United States
are enfranchised. He prophesied
that the women will occupy their at
tention very largely with humanitar-
ian measures, such as child labor,
health, minimum wage, with moral
questions and economic propositions.
He criticized the policies of both
the Congressional Union and the
National Committee, saying that
though the former tried to punish
the majority party all the Demo-
cratic Senators were re-elected, show
ing that the attempt was either futile
or reactionary, and that though the
latter blacklisted all Congressman
who were opposed to suffrage, all the
olacklisted were returned.
He declared himself In favor of
the Bristow- Mondel bill, but urged
the women to remember that it does
not add single woman to the voters
until thirty-six States have adopted
It, showing the paramount necessity
for work in each State.
The thing for the women to do is
to make friends, not enemies he
said. Punish your enemies If you
can, If at the same time you don't
create more enemies"

Judge in New Jersey that the present
judges are not able to handle all the
Federal cases that come before them
In the course of the year.
The concensus of opinion on this,
the second day of the final session
of the sixty-third Congress, is that
it will not be possible to enact all the
leftover legislation between now
and March 3 next. Most of those who
have given the program as 1t stands
now deep consideration are of the
opinion that an extra session will
have to be called. The administra-
ton would like to see the business
on schedule cleared off and the con-
gresham back to their home bailli-
wicks. But the wishes of the COM
manders may undergo a change in
the next month or so.

class, and after others had answered
various questions she turned to a
small lad named Willie.
Willie" she said, describe to me
the route you would take If you were
going TO Cuba"
"Yessum,' responded the young
ster doubtfully. II would go to New
York, and then-and then"
"Well, WILLIE" interposed the

ment's thought, land leave the rest
