DECLARES WAGE TOO Low
Good Irishmen Should Get More
Than Eighteen Cents an Hour,
Says 0'Leary.

Eighteen cents an hour for digging
in a ditch Is too low wages for good
Irishmen. according to Representative
Denis OLeary of New York, a member
of the Crosscr subcommittee which
had before 1t today /. II. Fisher, super
intendent for the firm which built some
of the Washington railway lines. Mr..
Fisher said he had built sixty-four
miles of road In London. and began
telling about the character of labor
and the cost.
We pay pense and pence an hour
for good Irishmen there" he said.
The question Is What constitutes a
GOOD Irishman?" asked Mr.. Reed of
New Hampshire.
They are all good" said Representa-
tive OLeary, coming to the defense of
his friends only some are better than
others The Snly thing / regret is the
outrage of paying these good Irishmen
eighteen cents an hour to build English
street-car lines.
Other information CLEANED from Supt
Fisher was to the effect that the aver
age cost of the underground systems
here would be from $4,000 to $4,000
a. mile. This agrees with what Presi
dent Hamilton of the Capital Traction
Company told Chairman Crosser. but Is
lower than Washington Railway and

judicial systems of the United States,
was very much impressed with the sys-
tenn in vogue in the Police Court
He is unable to speak English fiuentiy,
but through Mr.. Justice Robb said he
was greatly impressed with the large
number of cases appearing before the
court at one sitting. He said that in
his country there were but few cases
tried at a sitting.
The fact that so many cases were
witnessed by the visiting justice was
due to the large number of arrests in
connection with violations of the cx-
else law. Justice Takata visited courts
in New York and Boston. and tomor-
row will be taken by Justice Robb to
the Supreme Court Of the District of
Columbia. He also expects to visit

ORDER VOWS
BROUGHT BEFORE COURT
Question Of Whether They Are
Against Public Policy Argued
in Briefs.

Whether the vows of the Order Of st.
Benedict and other religious orders con-
tanning VOWS of poverty are void as
against public policy was argued pro and
con in briefs filed today in the Supreme
Court of the United States.
On behalf of niece and nephew of the
late Father Wirth, priest of a church in
Springfield, Mimi. attorneys claimed the
vows he took to the order are void as
against public policy, and that his prop
erty, consisting of the income from books
he had written. should go to them.
They contended that the vow Surren-
dered all control of his will to the order
and that the civil courts would no more
enforce an agreement to surrender ones
life to another.
mot Against Public Policy"
Attorneys on behalf of the order point
ed to the achievements OF the order as
showing it was not against public policy.
Through it's followers and disciples
it was argued, christianity was firmly
planted in various parts Of England, the
greater part of central Germany was
evangalized: the German church was
founded and the Teutonic races we're con-
verified. Education has been and is now
among the recognized and principal works
of the Benedictines in America and other
countries.

ton that no legal or illegal authority

blow he was told that his son had been
seriously injured. but he insisted on
