NEW ST. MoNIcA'S CURATE.
Rev. Hugh McKenna Coming to Assist
Rev. p. M. McKenna

Rev. Hugh MeKenna Of Providence,
x. l., will arrive in the city tomorrow
to assume the duties of curate at St.
Monica's parsonage, succeeding Rev. A..
G. Griffin, who was recently transferred
to the Albany parish of the Burlington
diocese of the Catholic church. Rev. F..
NJ. McKenna, pastor of st. Monica's
church, yesterday received notification
from Rt. Rev. j. j, Rice, bishop of Bur
hngton, OF the appointment of the new
curate. Rev. Griffin ceased his duties
in the local parish many weeks ago,
and the appointment OF the new curate
will somewhat tighten the burdensome
duties that were incumbent upon the
pastor.
Rev Hugh McKenna was ordained to
the priesthood at Montreal, during Christ
mas week. He is graduate of Holy
Cross college at Worcester, Mass, and
for the past three or four years has at
tended Grand seminary at Montreal. Be
cause of the scarcity of speaking
priests in the diocese of Burlington, Bish
op Rice secured the services OF Rev.
McKenna for period of five years.

PROPOSE CESSATION
OF NAVY BUILDING
United States Is to Be Interested in
Projected Naval Holiday of the
Nations.

Washington, D. c., Jan. s.-Diplomats
in Washington may be sounded soon by
congressional advocates of naval holl-
day with a view of securing the impress
sion from foreign governments as to
their support of the project. Since the
passage by the House of the Hensley
resolution, advocates of the suspension
of naval construction for year have
been planning campaign to bring their
proposal to definite conclusion.
The Hensley resolution was framed in
sympathy with the recent declaration OF
Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of
the British admiralty, and requested
that the president, SO far as he could do
so, use his influence to consummate
agreements among nations TO suspend
their naval construction programs for
year, to lessen the peoples burdens and
to avoid waste on the investment IN
war materials.
Representative Hensley's present plan
is to write letters in his capacity as an
individual member to Congress to the
various ambassadors, asking them the
sentiment of their home governments.

BEGIN POLITICAL ACTIVITIES.
Socialists of Barre Preparing for MI
nicipal Election.

CITY politics are already brewing. The,
Socialists are the first to act. Last night
the English speaking local came togeth-
er for its regular meeting and instructed
its representatives on the city central
committee to confer with the Italian
locals in regard to the stand which So
cialists of Barre will take in the cleo
ton this year. The central committee
is to meet within a few days and what
ever transpires at that time will be re-
ported back to the separate locals tor
action. Propaganda leaders assume a
non -committal attitude whenever they
are asked as to where the party will
be found when the time comes for fran
ing the various States Bat they do not
intend to defer activity until the last
moment and whatever course Shey choose
to pursue will be broadly DEFINED in am
pie time. The central committee has
been instructed from both sides to con
fer in the near future.
Now that the Socialists have made
the first move, the question naturally
aIises: Will there be coalition OF labor
and Socialist forces this year. At the
last election the two fused and the
United Labor party, as it was called,
was an important factor in the campaign
for various city officers. Most of the
citizens caucus nominees, however, were
successful at the polls. Labor men who
arc not affiliated with the Socialist
party are also reticent when asked to
air their views on the probability OF
second fusion of forces.

rious etertainments and if he decides
to mingle with the people at all it will
be at popular reception just before

Representative Harrison is endeavor
ing to arrange such reception at Gull
ford for Saturday. The president came
primarily for vacation but he has been
able to put in many hours of uninter-
rupted work and he has caught up with
the neglected details in the study of
subjects thrown aside in the maelstrom
of tariff and currency agitation and he
will return to the capital with his mind
made up on many subjects of prime i'm
portance.

dition that, he could not tell straight

BOSTON & MAINE
NEEDS ASSISTANCE
Declared Governor Walsh of Massachu-
setts in Inaugural Address-He
Favors Merging of Stock
With Subsidiaries.

Boston, Jan. S.-The Boston & Maine
railroad was the subject OF the greater
bart of the inaugural address OF GIv-
ernor David l. Walsh, who was ibducted
into office at noon to-day. He declared
that the road is in serio IS straits, IL d.
ing help not only from the legislature
but from its IVA stockholders and stock
holders of leased lines. As remedy
Governor Walsh suggested the formation
of new co. ration in which the stock
of the leased lines be merged with that
o. the Boston 4 Maine railroad.
The present condition of the lioston 4
Maine is a serious menace to the indus
trial Improvement of northern New Eng
land, he said. Investors in the Io.d
are suffering, in tha opinion OF the gov
ernor, because in the past the legisla-
lures and commits ons gave too iree
hand and failed to require compliance
with salutary and sound principles upon
which for decades our railroad laws nave
been grounded.
Governor Waisn criticised as unsound
and wasteful the contracts with the
Pullman and American Express con-
panies.
Discussing the leases oe other lines
he said that one notable result from un-
sound leasing svsre,u is that securities
OF leased and infe ,1r properties have
been taken on apparent md dclusive
value while the leasing company i'nds
itself threatened with receiverslip pro-
ceedings, which may result in wiping
out the entire equity represented by
Boston & Maine stock.
The governors message favored call
ing a constitutional convention TO deal
with amendments favoring the initiative
and referendum, biennial elections, aboli-
ton of the executive council and the
office of lieutenant governor, woman suf-
frage, government by the majority, re-
vision of the tax laws and compulsory
workingmen's compensation. He said he
favored the abolition of party enroll
ment and a referendum on woman suf-
frage.
