ROOSEVELT EXPEDITION
STORIES ARE TOLD BY
THE EXPLORER FIALA

New York, May 1.-Anthony Fiala,
the explorer, who was in charge of
one of the Roosevelt expeditions in
Brazil, arrived in New York today
on the steamship Denis from Rio ia
metro. He wildly described the expe-
riences of the expedition both before
and after he separated from Colonel
Roosevelt and Kermit, on March "a.
Fiala did not know until today, how
ever, that the colonel had emerged
safely from the jungle. He said he
had not expected to hear from Mr..
Roosevelt before the latter part of
June.
Il was with Colonel Roosevelt from
Christmas eve until March "a" said
Fiala. Il went out in advance while he
remained behind to attend to some
personal engagements.
When the colonel finally joined the
advance party we struck out across
the country with a 4e0-mile journey
ahead of us. At times we were all
forced to dismount fom on hoses and
mules and cut ou way with knives
through the dense underground. The
rainy season was on, too, and some
times we would travel for two days
at q thine WiltlOuL liIldliiS d uiS SPOe
big enough on which to camp.
when we reached Malta Crosse,
we rested for a couple of days and
then we all went hunting. In one par
ty, which went for tiger cats, were
Colonel Roosevelt, Kermit, a Brazilian
chief of police. a Brazilian colonel and
several natives. Kermit l believe is
made of coiled wire, all bound up in
bronze. He's tougher than his father
if such thing is possible. The party
started out early in the morning and
with nothing but a cup of coffee in
their stomachs. they pushed their way
all day through swamps filed with
crocodiles and snakes in pursuit of
tiger cat they had scared up.
1.-THE Brazilians did the best they
could and with the Negro boys. kept
up for several hours. But the pace
set by the colonel, even in their own
jungle, was too much for them. Late
at night boy returned to the camp
and said that the colonel and Kermit
were about two miles off in the jun
gle and were trying to get out. When
they finally did come out their clothing
was torn to shreds and their arms
and legs were bleeding in many places.
But thew were carrying the Brazili-
ans guns and shoes. The Brazilians
had quit and were lying on their
backs in a dry place recuperating. The
tiger cat got away.

There will be much interest in Col.
Roosevelts course when he lands
again in the United States. Most Pro-
gressives have refrained from criti-

ing speech in the House over the Mex

Victor Murdoch of Kansas, the Pro-
sressive leader there. 1t is believed
Col. Roosevelt will likely declare him
self for UNFOLDING President Wilson
and, perhaps, If a volunteer army is
organized, apply for a commission.
Then there is the delicate and daily
broadening problem of mediation to

Mexican question will be settled and
the country pacified till long after
the November elections. 1t will be
natural for the administration to ap-
neal TO the voters for justification.
Whether there is much opposition or
not to the war, it will inevitably be put
forward in the Congressional campaign
as A test of sentiment. Tariff and
currency and other more or less fag-
ged out issues will be relegated for

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealing in All
tho Leading Stocks.

New York, May 1.-The upward
swing in stocks was continued today
with a more general exhibition OF
strength than at any other time since
the market began to recover from its
recent decline. In many instances the
rise amounted to around two points.
There was no decisive change in the
speculative situation to explain the
upturn. Each added day in which the
peaceful status of the country's rela-
tions with Mexico is preserved causes
lessening of concern over this fac
tor, which was such disturbing in
fiuence last week. With crop pros
poets still brilliant and confidence in
railroad stocks strengthened by the
improvement in March returns and
hopes of higher freight rates, bullish
spectators felt that they were in a
better position than for some time pre-
viously. The continued depression in
trade, however. tempered their opti-
mism.
In spite of the extensive covering
of shorts during the weeks advance.
it was evident from the action of the
market today that the requirements
of the bears We're still unsatisfied.
Stocks were marked up throughout the
session without a setback of conse-
ouence. While public buying is still
small there were evidences of invest
ment purchases of both stocks and
bonds on a larger scale than recently
Eastern railroad stocks were espe-
cially strong. owing to expectations of
higher freight rates. Union Pacific
benefited from the ruling of the courts
upholding the plan for distribution of
the special dividend. The turn for
the better in railroad earnings was
illustrated by the March returns of
the two largest eastern roads. Penn
sylvania reported an increase of $751;
900 on operating income. New York
Central whose net earnings shrank
over 100000 in the first two months
of the year, showed a decrease of
only $371,000 for last month.
Bonds were strong. Total sales, par
value s2,270,O00. United States 2's
coupon declined u on actual transac-
tons. Bid prices of other ISSUES were
unchanged.

ASK LEGALITY OF
AMATEUR AND PROF.
ATHLETES COMPETING

New York. May 1.-Notice for a mail
vote to decide the question of the le-
gality of professional and amateur
athletes competing on the same field
the same day were sent out today by
James e. Sullivan, chairman of the
National Registration committee of
the Amateur Athletic Union. The
question arose when the Clan Mcleod,
a Scottish athletic association, sought
permission to hold two distinct meets
at its games in July.
There is no law in the Amateur
Athletic Association Union rule book
preventing such meet. 1t has always
been the contention of the officials in
the Metropolitan district that anna
tours and professionals should not be
allowed to compete where a single fee
is charged.
Mr.. Sullivan said other members of
the National Registration Committee
who live in this district, are opposed
to the plan, but it is not known what
are the opinions of out of town men,
bers on the subject The result of the
vote will be announced in two weeks,

vietion that the continuation in pow
er of Provisional President Huerta Is
a matter of only weeks at the most.
With the sources of large revenue cut
off here and on the Western coast,
and Tampico isolated, and likely to
fall into the hands of the Constitu-
tionalists any day, they believe that
Huerta would welcome a development
in the situation which would furnish
him an opportunity for escape with
out loss of dignity. This, however, Is
purely speculation, as no Mexican here
claims to know anything of Huerta's
plans or hopes. If Huerta should alb
dicate or be ousted from office by
Carranza and Villa, there is a strong
belief in Vera Cruz that the United
States would feel obliged to permit
the Constitutionalists to make every
effort to re-establish a government.

CEYLON CATHOLICS
PREDOMINANT IN EVERY DIS
TRICT-THEY ARE SO PER
CENT OF THE CHRISTIANS.

The Ceylon Catholic Messenger,
touching on the progress of the
Church in Ceylon, says:
"The preponderance of Roman
Catholicism at the present time is
very marked. In seven out of the
nine provinces more than 70 per cent
Of the Christians are Roman Catho-
lies. The districts with the largest
proportions are Chilaw with nearly SO
per cent, Mannar 81 per cent, Millait-
tivu 93k per cent, and Trincomalee
901s per cent. Puttalam, including the
pilgrims at st. Annals on the census
night, shows a proportion of nearly SO
per cent of the Christian population as
Roman Catholics; excluding the pill
grims, the proportion is SO per cent
The enormous and increasing popu-
larity of the great Roman Catholic pill
grimages at st. Annals and Madu are
abundant proof of the strength of the
Roman Catholic Church in Ceylon.
Roman Catholicism has improved in
every district, and is the predominant
sect in every district of the island. At
the last census Matara was the, one
exception, but at this census the Ro-
man Catholics are in majority in
this district also. The proportion of
Roman Catholics amongst the Chris
tians is SO per cent, as compared with
81 per cent at the last census"

Chief BARON Of IRELAND
A CATHOLIC HAS OCCUPIED THAT
POSITION FOR FORTY YEARS
ONE OF THE GREATEST LAW
YERS IN THE BRITISH ISLES.

From February II, 1874, dates the
appointment of the Right Honorable
Christopher Palles, then Irish Attor-
to the position of Chief
Baron of the Exchequer, in succession
to Chief Baron Pigot. Born on Christ
mas Day, 1881, the future Chief Baron
received his education in Clongowes
Wood and Trinity Colleges, being call
ed to the bar in 1853. He took silk
in 1865, became Solicitor General in
1872, Attorney-General in the same
year, and held the latter post till 1874.
The Lord Chief Baron enjoys the
reputation of being one of the great
est lawyers in the three kingdoms
His legal reputation may be gagged by
the fact that in July, 1912, he re-
ceived the signal honor Of summons
to assist the Judicial Committee of
the Privy Council in connection with
a knotty problem concerned with the
Canadian marriage ftsgws. Though the
judgment of the Court was given by
Lord Haldane, it was an open secret
at the time that the elucidation of
the problem was largely the Chief
Baron's work.
He is a Catholic, and is County
Cavan man by birth, an Ii. D. of
Dublin and Cambridge Universities
and a Privy Councillor for Ireland
and England.

CHAPLA|N'S UNIFORM CHANGED
WAR DEPARTMENT HAS DECIDED
TO MAKE AN ARMY cHAPLAIN's
UNIFORM INDICATE HIS RANK.

The long discussed subject of an
appropriate uniform for the Chaplains
of the United States Army has at last
been settled by the War Department.
ALI the chaplains in the service were
called upon for an expression of opin-
ion as to what each thought was the
proper uniform. There were many
different opinions on the subject. The
suggestions were considered by a
board of officers.
The new uniform will show the in
sigma of a chaplain's grade, and will
thus be an outward mark of rank,
thing which many of the Catholic
chaplains opposed, claiming that it
would often be decided hindrance in
their work with the enlisted men.
AS a rule, the Catholic chaplains are
satisfied with the present uniform and
were opposed to any change that will
remove the insignia of their clerical
calling or any addition to the uniform
that will be an outward exhibition OF
rank, claiming that experience has
demonstrated that the Catholic priest
is able to do most effective work as a
priest, and the dearest title by which
he is known among officers and men
is not that of Chaplain" but ga
ther"
