to Be Followed by Memo

SECRETARY BRYAN WIRES
CONDOLENCES TO VATICAN
Apostolic Delegate Goes Into Seclu-
sion-Mgr. Mackin Pays
Tribute to Pontiff.

Announcement Of the death of Pope
Plus x produced a profound shock among
the Catholic clergy Of Washington. and
although it was not entirely un-
expected in view of the warning that
came from the Vatican yesterday, yet
the trying circumstances surrounding the
death of the venerable pontiff made a
deep impression.
There will be period Of official mourn
ing, and probably a memorial ceremony
at a later date, at which the apostolic
delegate. Monsignor Bonzano, win ON
ciate. All of the twenty-five Catholic
churches in this city will be draped and
special prayers will be offered. Mem
bers Of the clergy said today that some
announcement probably would be made
within the next few days concerning the
details of the memorial services. It Is
not unlikely that special services will be
held Sunday in many Of the churches.
The vatican's Official announcement
of the death of the Pope was received
morning. The apostolic delegate at
that time was celebrating mass in the
chapel of the legation The announce
ment came from Cardinal Merry Del
Val. papal secretary of state, was dated
at Rome at 4:44 this morning and said:
Holy Father Plus x. died this night"
Informed Of Grave Condition.
Prior to this. at 1 o'clock this morn
ing. Mgr. Bonzano received a dispatch
from the Vatican, dated at Rome at
1918 last night, telling Of the critical
condition Of the Pope at that time.
This message said: Holy father dan
gerously i'll since this morning. He
may die at any moment"
These were the only official communt-
cations received at the papal legation.
although twenty-four hours before the
receipt of these disQuieting news came
from Rome to the effect that the pom
tiff's condition had given occasion for
alarm.
Upon receipt Of the news from Rome,
Mgr. Bonzano went into strict seclu-
sion. and through his secretary, asked to
be excused from making any comment
beyond the expression Of his deep grief.
Members of the Catholic clergy gener-
ally voiced expressions Of sorrow. In Of
fetal Washington the death Of the Pope
was sadly deplored.
At the request Of President Wilson.
the following telegram was sent to the
Vatican by Secretary Bryan:
The President desires me to express
his sense Of the great loss which the
Christian world has sustained In the
pure and gentle character. his unaffected
piety and his broad and thoughtful SYM
pathy with his fellowmen, he adorned
his exalted station and attracted to him
self the effectionate regard Of all who
felt his Worldwide ini9ence-

Tribute by Mgr. Mackin.

Mgr. James F. Mackin, pastor Of st.
Paups Catholic Church, reflected the
sentiment of many others Of the clergy
when he said that the Catholic Church
had suffered the loss Of one Of the
greatest figures It had ever known In
the death Of the Pope. He was one
of the most democratic Of men and yet
one who was frm in upholding the
dignity Of his great ONCE" said Mgr.
Mackin. 'The eleven years OF his
administration had been marked BY
many great events. and the period of
his pontif1cate was memorable for the
many changes for good he had wrought.
His reforms in the outer discipline Of
the church were notable. One Of these
was his declaration requiring all en-
gagements to be listed with the parish
priest His administration also was
featured by many great acts having for
their purpose the stamping out OF
modernism. Another Of his acts

SEMINOLE INDIANS NOW

Orlando, Jan. 9.-The Seminole
Indians are catching on quite rapidly
to civilizing influences. This conclu-
sion is drawn from a statement made
by Commissioner l.. A. Spencer, who
has Just returned from trip to the
Everglades and the Thousand Islands.
"The Indians are working on a short
line of railroad under construction
in that sectioD,'' said the commission

Jealous when it comes to work, and
the fact that they are now engaged in
railroad construction shows a radi-
cal change in this little remnant Of
the nations wards, who have been
hunters from the time whence the
memory of man runneth not to the
contrary. The railroad that the red
men are helping to build Is to carry
grapefruit from a two hundred acre
grove to the little town of Everglad-
where it can be given transportation
to the northern markets.

FREE FOR ALL FIGHT
WITH FATAL RESULTS

Miami, Fla, Jan. 9.--Billy Wat
son is dying and several other men
are seriously wounded as a result of
a free-for all fight growing out of a
conflict of arrangements by the
Woman's Industrial club and land
development company in Detroit, 80
miles south of Miami. Three of the
leaders in the fight are under arrest
and others will probably be arrested.
The development company had ar
ranged to use the town hall of De-
troit for meeting and the Woman S
Industrial club had prepared for a
reception to be held in the samo place
at the same time. After considerable
argument between the men of the
company and the women, the club
women called their husbands. A gem
eral fight then started, clubs, chairs,
stones and fists being used by both
sides. After several minutes, officers
appeared on the scene and arrested
three of the fight leaders, which re-
stored order. The women then mop
ped up the blood from the floor of the
hall and held their reception.

WILL TRY TO AVERT RATE WAR

New York, Jan. 9.-The interest
of Atlantic shipping circles is cen
tered in the conference of representa-
tives of the various transatlantic
lines watch opened in this city today.
Many important matters will be
brought before the conference, chief
among them being the division Of
stccragc traffic between the rival
German lines. 1t is understood that
the Hamburg American steamships
in the Boston Hamburg service route
will call at Queenstown when the
Amerika and Kaiserin Auguste Vic
toria go into the service next season.
This would ring them into competi-
tion with the Cunard and White Star
lines. Everyone is trying to avert a
"ato war, for it is realized that the
results would be dis astrous to every
company concerned.

len, Of Chicago, would constitute the
executive committee, This is the
same ticket as that elected last year.
The executive committee will make
its report on the selection of courses
for each of the national champion
ships in order that the choice of the
assembled delegates may be restrict
ed to three courses. While this
method which was recently adopted.
eliminates much red tape, it is
claimed by many Of the delegates
that it does away with a great deal
of the whole-hearted enthusiasm that
was shown when the delegates were
allowed to select courses by popular
vote.
