DAY IN DA NEWPORT

Citizen Robbed BY Boy Bandit Gang
"A gang of youthful bandits. ranging
in age from 14>fo 20 years, held up F.
]. McCleary,> No. 2 Dorothea flats, in
Washington square Wednesday night,
giving their victim a terrific beating
and securing S5.75 and a pocket knife.
After the attack, the boys boldly fol-
lo%ed McCleary to his own door step.
-The affair was reported to the police
and plain clothes men are expected to
round up the gang. Mr.. McCleary
came upon the gang a short distance
north of the park shortly after 3
o'clock, and noticing that two OF the
boys were about to come to blows,
stopped to witness the fight. He was
asked his name and destination, and
replied he was going to Rock Island.
The boys asked him to take them along
and followed him to the park. There
one of the bigger boys slugged Nc
CIeary on the jaw and the remainder of
the gang colsed in. A small boy went
through the victims pockets. Mr.. Nc
Cleary told the police he was ashamed
to report the affair because the ban
dts were so small, but reconsidered
the matter. The police believe the
same gang to be responsible for num-
erous other holdups which have been
perpetrated in Davenport during the
past few weeks.
Local Theatres To Be Inspected
Representatives of the building de-
partment announced that an immediate

naturally take the other side OF the
controversy.
The Argus can say, without viola

party, that the work OF both schools
was far ahead of all expectations.
Even leaving out OF consideration
the newspaper phase. the competition
was an object lesson in cooperation
in school and home loyalty which
will leave a permanent impression.

William P. McDonogh, is much
talked about Just now in New York
City, where he has been practicing
law for the past thirteen years
Though President of the Bronx
Democratic Club and active in pol
itics, he has never held public office.
Last April he could have had the
Democratic nomination for District
Attorney, but declined to file the
2.S00 signed and sworn petitions
secured for him. The case that has
given him most prominence was his
able and successful representation
of the people in the gas legislation
before the New York Legislature.
James McDonogh was also one of
the attorneys who assisted Coun-
sellor James F. Donnelly on behalf
of Thomas F. O'Neil in the recent
recount of election ballots. He also
appeared as attorney for Judge
Gibbs in the contest brought about
by Van Doren in recanvassing the
count of the vote. Since arriving in
New. York he has taken a lively in
terest in fraternal society affairs,
being active in Hibernian circles.

Cardinal Farley has completed
his plans for a visit to Rome. With
Mgr. Patrick ]. Hayes and his secre-
tary. DR.. Thomas Carroll, the Car
dinal will sail on the Bremen of the
North German Lloyd Line on April
25 for Naples. II has not been de-
cided how long he will stay. All
the Bishops of the American con-
tinent will make their pilgrimages
to Rome this year. as the law of the
church requires them to once every
five years. The Cardinal goes as
head of the New York archdiocese.
He will make a report to the Con-
sistorial Congregation and to Pope
Plus. and submit to the Holy See a
detailed account of the progress OF
the diocese, churches built, schools
established and other matters. The
diocese of which Cardinal Farley is
the head comprises New York, West
chester, Putnam, Dutchess, Ulster,
Rockland, Sullivan and Orange
counties in New York State and the
Bahama Islands of Key West, en-
bracing 9.1S3 square miles. It is
considered one of the important
dioceses of the world from the point
of ecclesiastical activities 'and Cath
olic population, estimated from the
census of 1909 at 1,219,92O. During
the Cardinals stay in Rome he will
make the pilgrimage to the tomb OF
st. Peter and will pontificate at a
special service in the Church of
Santa Maria Sopra Minerva. his
titular church in Rome. Despite his
seventy-two years Cardinal Farley is
in excellent health and does not
anticipate that the trip to Europe
will be particularly fatiguing.

ENJOYS GOOD HEALTH.

Every few days groundless
rumors are spread concerning the
health of Pope Plus X. The latest
report, circulated last week. was of
an alarmist nature, but received q
prompt contradiction from the fact
that that very morning His Holiness
received in private audience Mgr.
Lawler, the Auxiliary Bishop of st.
Paul, of whom he inquired about
Archbishop Ireland and his work in
the construction of two Cathedrals.
He also SPOKE of Archbishop Ire
lands latest visit to Rome, and ex-
pressed a desire to see him again.
On the same day Prof. Arthur G. F.
G.. Remy, of Columbia University,
was also received by the Pontiff.
After their audiences Mgr. LawleI
and Prof. Remy were the guests of
the Rev. John Dolan. rector of the
English Catholic church of San
Silvestro. who is well known in New
York, where he spent most of his
earlier years. Other guests were
Archbishop Robert Seton, who is
about to leave Rome for the United
States, and the Rev. Michael
O'Flannagan, of Roscommon. Mgr.
Seton had been received by the
Pope few days before in order to
make his farewells, and was i'm
pressed by the vigorous memory of
the Pontiff, who showed his in
innate knowledge of Mgr Seton's
family. The Pope enjoyed the in
teresting conversation with the
American Archbishop, who recalled
his life as the first American
student at the College of Noble
Ecclesiastics. The Pope presented
to him an Archbishop's gold and
1eweled ring as a remembrance OF
his recent stay in Rome.
