Character Sketch Of Archbishop ireland.

victory was WaVcring. just at the
Eattlc's crisis the Minnesota regiment
ran short of powder. II seemed as if
it must retreat. But Chaplain Ire
land had foresecn the emergency
he was ready for it. He carried bags
of cartridges on his back from the
lase Of supplies to the men. Back
and forth he rushed with the ammu-
milton, his life in danger every mo-
mcnt. His regiment held the line.
Corinth was Il Union victory.
As he fought in the ranks in Cor
inth, so he has kept close to the ranks
ever since. The masses, not the
classes, are still his closest friends.
To prove it there's his "street car
habit as his friends call it, He
owns one of the finest automobiles
in st. Paul, but owning a motor car
hasn't made street cars unpopular
with the archbishop. If a watchful
secretary doesn't persuade him
against it, he makes daily trips
tround town in Tho trolley cars, not
only in st. Paul, but when he's vis-
ting in other cities.
And his favorite time for street car
riding is the rush hour" when the
"mag with the dinner pail" is return
ing from work, and many man in
oyeralls has hung to a strap and
chet,ed sociably with the benign
locking elderly gentleman who
showed so much interest in news from
the shop, conditions at home and
everyday affairs generally.
Although he's known in two con
tirents as the most scholarly of
cluchmen, the archbishop who may
scon be made cardinal is a first rate
farmer, . real close-to-the-so farmer
who knows a good grade of wheat
when he sees it, ard who isn't easily

HEARING TO-DAY

Before Justice Hoffman of CaleX-
leo, John B. LuCo, a Mexican, is
facing a preliminary hearing today
ON a charge of grand larceny. Lugo
was arrested Sunday evening as he
was about to cross the international
boundary line.
For some time reports of petty
thefts at the Russell hotel have mys
titled the police department until Sun
day evening when the arrest of John
b. Lugo, Mexican porter at the ho-
tel, brought forth some light on the
disappearance Of articles from guests
rooms. LugO was taken into custody
Sunday evening as he crossed the line
from MeXicali to CalcXico. On being
searched, diamond brooch, the
property of Mrs. Mary +. Bell, pro
prietor of the hotel, is said to have
been found in his possession.
City Marshal Howard searched Lu-
COS room and announced the dis
Covery of various articles which are
said to have been reported recently
as having been stolen. Costly wear
ing apparel, kodak, fine ovcrcoat, pins
a diamond ring and other valuable
items are said to have been uncov-
cred in Lugo's trunk. Lugo, at his
alraignmcnt, pleaded not guilty to
the charge and insisted that the
brooch found on him had been given

Archbishop John Ireland, soldier
priest, friend of popes, counsellor of
presidents, i a much-talked-of man
these days. The papaI consistory is
soon to elect an American cardinal
and he's the man most frequently
mentioned for the place.
Should the Archbishop Of St. Paul
be made the third American cardinal
the election may add to his prestige,
/ ut even a cardinalatc cannot add
much to his famc-that's already
worldwide.
From the Vatican to the humblcst
parochial school in Minnesota his in
fluencc as a churchman is recognized
In thc White House his counsel is
frequently sought On matters of so

appreciated. No one is more wei

"Comrade' Ireland and the friend OF
popes and presidents is also the
friend and adviser Of men VINO labor
1t is said that he inspired Leo NIlIs
famous cneyclical on labor and capi-
tai and he has written many pamph
lets on labor's problems.
Should the "rcd hat" be conferred
upon the distinguished prelate, he'll
probably take no greater pride in
wearing it than he took in wearing
the buIleL-riddcn campaign hat of a
Union soldier back in the days of
%, when he served the nation as
both priest and soldier.
Il was at Corinth, so the veterans
say, that the young chaplain Of the
