SOCIETY OF HOLY
NAME ORGANIZED
c. A. MeNamara and James II. FinI.
gan, President and Vice Presi-
dent Respectively.

Preliminary to the regular services
last evening in ST. Peters church in
cident to the mems mission, the So
ciety Of the Holy Name was organ
ICED. On cards which were passed,
each man present inscribed his name
and declared his intention of joining.
The aims and objects of the society
were explained by the missionary to
be that each member, by more guard
ed and careful in violations OF the
second commandment and that he do
all in his power to discourage the too
prevalent use of profanity of every
sort. 4
The pastor, Father Gillispie. an
nounced that pending the regular
meeting to be held later and Of which
notice Will be given, he appointed G.
A. Mcnamara, president, James H.
Finigan, vice president, to serve as
temporary heads of the society.
The regular lecture Of the evening
was given by Father Schott on the
Sacrament OF Baptism. The origin
and objects OF this sacrament was
fully explained. This Is the sacra-
ment that reinstatss man as child or
Gold and insures to him the heritage
of Heaven, both OF which were lost
to him through the sin of our first
parents. Original sin which is the
stain on mans soul when he comes
into the world, is only removed by the
Purifying waters of baptism and wlth-
out baptism man cannot be saved as
nothing defiled can enter Heaven"
! At baptism, the person to be bap-
tized makes profession of faith and
a remuneration of Satan with all his
4 wiles and snares. When an adult Is
baptized these vows are made in per-
son and in infant baptism they are
made by the sponsors or God-parents.
/ After the discussion Of the evening
all the men were asked to renew
their baptismal vows and they did SO
freely and fully.
/. Perhaps never before was such
spectacle presented in st. Peters

each man present and these were
lighted by the altar boys. Then with
every man standing erect and with
each right arm extended high over
the head the Pickering taper emblem
attic Of the light OF divine faith, held
in the hand, tbs VOWS were renewed
in clear and full voices and after the
renewal the papal blessing was i'm
parted by the missionary priest.
The services closed with benedic'
ton of the blessed sacrament and
singing Of the TIE Deum by the CON
gregation. This morning the final act
OF the mission was the celebration OF

Carranza Is No Mediator.

[By N. G. Parke, United Press stan
Correspondent
JUAREZ, Mexico, May Is.-"Gener-
al Carranza will not step aside for
any candidate who may be proposed
by thu mediation conference for the
presidency Of Mexico
This is the fiat declaration made to-
day by a man who is close to the con-
stitutionalist chief. The declaration
was in response to Washington dis
patches, limiting that Huerta's dele
gates at Niagara Falls might propose
that Louis Cabrera, Mexican attorney
and close friend of Carranza, be given
the presidency as a means Of uniting
the supporters OF CarTanza and
Huerta.
1--WE all recognize Cabr sra's ability,
and the value Of his friendship to the

said, ''but If the Huerta delegates
even conside or such proposition, they
are shooting wide Of the mark.

Daily Stock Letter.

copyright 1914 by the New York
Evening Post.l
NEW YORK, May 1S.-The news OF
paramount Importance, in it's influ-
ence on the stock exchange today,
was the apparently authentic an
nouncement that Huerta had placed
in the hands of his mediation con-
ferees, to be used in certain circum-
stances, his resignation of the Next
can presidency. In normal state OF
a final sentiment, this news would
probably have had gerater imme-
date influence than it had today;
more especially in view of the activi-
ties, up to last weeks close, of the
belligerent rumor-mongers among
the Vera Cruz correspondents. To-
DAYS market did, however, give def
mite response to Washington re-
ports; opening higher and advancing
a point or more, with considerable
earlier activity. The fact that there
was later published in Wall street,
what purported to be denial by a
Mexican delegate, had no doubt some
hand In checking the recovery and a
return of dullness later; but the
stock exchange was disposed to pin
its faith to the Washington version
of the story and prices held around
their early high level until very near
the close, when there was irregular
fractional reaction.
