RELIGIOUS PREJUDICE IS
DUE TO ERRONEOUS IDEAS
knights Of Columbus Expect Amcri-
can Fair Play to Prevail
Over Bigotry.
REPORT TO SUPREME COUNCIL
Declares Position of Catholics and
Church Concerning Allegiance to
Pope. Which Is Not Incompatible
With Proper Allegiance to Country.

SEATTLE. WASH. August 4.-Thc
Supreme Council of the knights of Co
lumbus, in convention here. received
the report of the commission on
religious prcjudices. which expressed
the belief that American fair play will
prevail over religious blgotry."
The report, presented By Colonel p.
H. Callahan. chairman. expressed salts
faction for aid by the general public
and special mention was made OF the
fairness shown by the Associated Press
and newspapers in general regarding
religious matters.
Seven recommendations we're at
tached TO the report. The first of these
declared principal cause for prejudice
against Catholics arose from CHROME
GUS belief among non-Catholics that
we owe such allegiance to the Pope
as is incompatible with proper allegi-
anco to our country
We should lose no proper occasion
10 declare the position OF Catholics -
stated the report, and the teachings
OF the church on this matter. namely
that while Catholics acknowledge the
Pope TO he supreme in spiritual mat
tcrs. they do not hold that he has any
authority in civil matters. II any
'Pi' ''bdi were 10 NlreCt
TO do any act contrary TO the rights
OF free citizens or the welfare Of So
ciety, we would be bound to disobey -
The report declared that Catholic.
uphold and supper, the public school
system, but feel that religious instruc-
ton is necessary. and therefore bear
an extra burden for private schools.
An opinion was expressed that In time
all general forms Of religion will be
taught in free schools.
Tho report condemns the action OF
politicians in raising religious issues
In campaigns. Al we'll as the activities
OF quas!-political societies in discrirni-
mating against persons Of any faith. II
was recommended that the commission
be made permanent
The report of the secretary stated
i,o2l .n43.o4 was collected during tho
past year. and that the assets OF the
order exclusive of special funds, are
nearly 100000 There arc now nearly
$4,000 members.

many of the improvements made in the

But unlike the old style politics, these
promises were carried out. All the
Councilman desire is the salary Of
$4,000 year. The city does not get
big men for Councilmcn. Very few

Councils OF the last seven years were

Your respondent is not advised, and

to the actions and efforts of the Vir-
ginia Railway and Power Company,
looking to n prevention OF the jitney
business. and if the same is material,

well as in tho number of cars which
each class Of business operates.
ROUTING NEEDED TO
PROTECT WEST END AVENUES
On the point raised as to provision OF
the ordinance, which prescribes certain
routes for jitneys, the city asserts that
the streets and avenues used by the jit-
neys in the West End are the principal
and most desirable residence thorough
fares in that section. and that their
continued use and occupation by so
many cars has resulted in the deprecia-
ton Of property values along the same.
especially along Park and Grove Ave-
nues. and in the destruction of the
peaceful and quiet enjoyment of their
homes by the property owners on said
avenues. Tho Ill effects resulting from
the jitneys are said to be more severe
on Park and Grove Avenues than on
Monument, because tho last named ia
the widest avenue in the city.
Specific denial was made by the city
that tho jitney owners have the lawful
right to use the public streets Of Rich
mond as a place of business and for
private benefit, except by permission of

as that body may prescribe In tho In

English Bank Stocks /
 Suffer Through War


 London, Dec. 1.-Among English stocks which have suffered as regards price quotations during the last few months must be included the shares of all the big London banks. These stocks have always been considered investments of the most conservative nature and the quotations for the important banks were frequently four or five times their par value, showing a net return to the inVestort of be- tweeen four and five per cent. On a basis of present Stock Exchange prices, however, the average yield of stocks of the ten biggest English banks is 6.75 per cent.
 The par valaue of English bank stocks varies, widely. The stock in the biggest bank has a paid-up par value of only $12.5o per share: this stock is now quoted at $37.5O a share, at which pricesit yields the investor six per cent Other good bank stocks have a paid-up par value of from $20 to $75 and /are quoted at $41 to $150.
 z To some extent the fall in prices of these stocks is due perhaps to ap- prehension Of lower dividends result ing from depreciation in gilt edged securities held by the banks, but a more potent influence has been the fact that large offerings of bank stock from closing up of estates have come upon narrow and even unwilling mar k

 There. is-a general scarcity. of col fiery workers, farm hands and nav vies, and the demand for work people is still greatly in excess of the supply in engineering and ship-building trades.

Paris, Dec 1-The remarkably ef dechive system of, railways and tele- grabhs which the Germans have con- structed to connect with Field Mar eEaaI Won Hindenburg's forces along the Riga-Dvinsk front is described by Charles Rfvet in a despatch to the Temps from Petrograd. He says the Getinans have given full scope. here to zfheir genius for organization and that theft railways have excited the arbitration of all who have seen them.
 These lines are brought. from the rear to the front in pieces like chiI- dren's toys and immediately linked together. The network of rails extend behind the entire front At the same time they have constructed three main lines from East Prussia to the Riga-Dvinsk sector. These lines have regular schedules and are open to sEhe public There also are cleo trics tramways connecting the small viltages. notably around Ponfe- wesch-
