SAYS WATSON OFFERED A
BRIRE.

Thomas K. Watson, notorious de-
famer Of everything Catholic, twice
indicted for sending obscene matter
through the mails and widely held to
be morally responsible for the lynch
ing of Leo Frank. is accused by
Thomas Loyless, editor of the "Au-
gusta Chronicle" of having offered to
former Governor John M. Slaton. of
Georgia, political bribe to let Frank
hang.
The accusation is made. according
to special dispatch to 1.-THE In
quirer," of this city, in the course of
an arraignment of Watson that fills
! three pages of the Augusta Chron.
icle" of Sunday, September IL.
Mr.. Loyless charges, says the dis
patch, that the motives underlying
Watson's campaign against Frank ant
his persistent attacks on Ex-Governor
Slaton were "Watson's desire to make
money by increasing the number OF
| readers of his paper, he having ex,
I hausted his supply of ammunition in
his attacks on Catholicism; Watson s
| desire to wreak vengeance on eX-Gov,
ernor SlatOn for not having followed
his dictation, and Wats0n's desire to
rehabilitate shattered political in.
iuence in state affairs"
After citing Il number of instances
of Ex-Governor Slaton's uprightness
and honesty and his service to the
state, Mr.. Loyless says:
About a week befove Slaton ren.
dered his decision in the Frank case,
and while the hearing of the petition
to commute was still in progress, Tom
Watson sent Governor SlatOn word
through a mutual friend that If the
governor would let Leo Frank hang
he (WatsonD would be SlatOns friend
for life and that it would result in
Slaton becoming United States sen.
ator' next time, and the master of
Georgia politics for twenty years to
come
"Of course, SlatOn spurned the s,lg
gestion as promptly as he would have
| spurned an offer of mOney---fOr II
meant that he should sacrifice hu
man life for the sake of his political
! ambition.
u dare Watson to deny this, for
have the proof of it in my possession
and he knows the man by whom | can
prove it,"

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

secretary OF State Lansing, repre-
senting the United States government,
and the diplomatic representatives of
Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia,
Uruguay and Guatemala, resolved at
their meeting in New York last Sat
urday that the time had come for the
extension of formal recognition to
government in Mexico.
On October 9th another meeting of
the conference will be held in Wash
ington, at which a decision is to be
reached as to the elements upon
which recognition should be conferred.
A formal statement issued by the
conference declared that inasmuch as
the factions themselves had failed to
come to an agreement, recognition
would be accorded to the de facto au-
thorities possessing the material and
moral capacity necessary to protect
the lives and property of nationals and
foreigners"
Each of the several governments, it
was announced, would itself Judge
such capacity, and recognition will
likewise be extended by each govern
ment separately at such time as it
may deem proper"
At the conclusion of the conference,
Secretary Lansing sent a long COM
munication to President Wilson, advis-
ing him of what had taken place. The
secretary has gone on a brief vaca-
tion, and it is expected that he will
personally invite representatives of
the various factions in Mexico to meet
with him on his return to Washing
ton.

DUTCH PRAY FOR PEACE.

The Archbishop of Utrecht, Holland,
has issued pastoral letter to his peo-
pie which was read in all the churches
last week calling on them to support
by their prayers the efforts of the Pope
for peace. He says in the course of
this letter that the hatred manifested
towards each other by the belligerent
nations is so intense that in spite of
all the misery and losses entailed by
the war, the hope Of a conference for
peace seems very faint at the moment.
but he points out that prayer can ef-
feet miracles and that Almighty God
can stop this frightful carnage of His
children when He will. Special pray
ers and novenas are to be said in the
Dutch Catholic churches for this end.

TO COMMAND DOLPHIN.

Lieut.. Commander William ID. Leahy,
detail officer of the bureau of naviga-
tion, has been ordered to assume COM
mand of the gunboat Dolphin, assigned
to Washington for the personal use
of the Secretary Of the Navy. He
succeeds Commander Gatewood S.
Lincoln, detailed to the Naval Acad-
emy as an instructor in electricity.
Commander Leahy, the new COM
mander of the Dolphin, is from Iowa,
and entered the navy in May, 1893,
reaching his present grade in Septem-
ber, 1909. He has had nearly thirteen
years service at sea, and made his
last previous cruise as a member of
the staff of the commander-in-ch chief of
the Pacific fleet Since August, 1913,
he has been stationed in Washington,
first on special duty at the navy de-
partment, and later as detail officer
in the bureau Of navigation. He is
regarded as one Of the brightest and
most progressive officers in the navy,
and his selection by Secretary Daniels
for the command Of the Dolphin is ac-
cepted as a special compliment to his
service and ability.
AS detail officer of the bureau of
navigation, Commander Leahy came
into the closest association with the
personnel of the naval service with
whom he is extremely popular.

CATHOLIC UNIVERSITIES AND
SCHOOLS IN ITALY TO RE.
SUME THEIR USUAL

AS it is the wish of the Holy Father
that the Catholic universities and
other ecclesiastical schools in Italy
should follow their usual course, not
withstanding the fact that the coun.
try is at war, every effort is being
made to carry out his desire. The
universities and the national colleges
in Rome will consequently resume their
work at the close of the vacation, and
so too will the educational institu-
tions of the Christian brothers and of
the Jesuit Fathers, despite the fact
that the latter have turned some of
their houses into military hospitals.
