New York. July Swearing red carna-

around their arms 500 anarchists and
members of the Industrial Workers Of the
World paraded to the morgue today
around the coffins of Arthur Caron and
two other anarchists killed in a bomb
explosion last Saturday.
Outside the building with drawn clubs
in their hands, stood a heavy guard of
policemen, ready to quell any disturb
ance which might arise.
Alexander Berkman. the anarchist, who
once tried to assassinate H. c. Frick;
Leonard Abbott, head of the Free Speech
League, and Becky Edelson known on
the East Side as Helen of Troy" led
the 500
Some OF the women wept and curses
were hissed through clenched teeth as
the men gazed upon the faces Of Caron
and his fellow victims
1t was the most unique gathering New
York has ever known-and the most dan
gerous. The reserves in nearby police
stations were held in readiness for a
riot call and a tense situation existed
throughout police ofilcialdom.

The baseball team known as the Sham
rocks, which took the place OF the Steel
Plant team in the Potomac League a
few weeks ago, has found II necessary

fact that the team was not in the same
class with the others in the league. The
officials have applications from several
good teams in the District who desire TO
join this league, and one Of them will
be admitted in the near future. Until
that time ii is likely postponed games
will be played on the dates when the
Shamrocks were scheduled.

NEW BUILDINGS AT c. U.

First of Group to De Home of Sis
ters of Providence.
Work has been started on a new group
of buildings for the Catholic University.
The first building to be erected will be
the home for the Sisters of Divine Provi-
dence. This is located in Bates street,
between Sixth and Seventh streets north
east
The site for the proposed woman's
university is separated from the Catho-
lie University by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad tracks. To complete the group
an expenditure Of about N.5O0ooo will
be necessitated. it is estimated.
An oblong tract of rolling country
chosen as the site lends itself naturally
to a division OF the buildings into two
groups, one of academic buildings ap-
preached directly from the boulevard
and the other group Of community resi-
dences for the various religious orders.
