GERMAN JESUITS PROTEST
AGAINST FIR. VAUGHAN'S
RO0K

BOOK.
Father Bernard Vaughan, S. J. of
London, is deeply in the black books
of the German Jesuits on account Of
his utterances on Germany and the
Germans. Representative Jesuits of
the German province have published
letter in the "Kolnische Volgzei-
tung" on the subject of his recent
sermons and his book, what of To-
day?" They say they have refrained
as long as possible from commenting
on his utterances because they
wished to see the original text. They
are glad to find that the insulting
epithets addressed to the kaiser do
not appear in the text they have un-
der review. At the same time they
add, though these deplorable words
and expressions do not appear, that
text contains much that is offensive
to Germany, the head of the German
empire, and the whole German peo-
pie. Therefore, in the name of the
German province of the society.
Father Gross protests energetically
against these utterances, views the
attack with grave sorrow, and en-
tirely disassociates the members Of
the German province from their En-
glish confrere.

No PRAISE FOR IRISH
British Censured War News Con-
tains no Mention of Bravery of
Irish Soldiers in Army

"In the censored war news from
London, intended for the information
Of Americans, it is notorious that
there is never word Of praise for the
Irish soldiers serving at the front, yet
the home papers daily are publishing
accounts of their feats of dashing
bravery on the battlefield" says Rev.
D. ]. O'Sullivan, who is visiting in
Philadelphia from Lyons, France.
During my visit to Cork three
weeks ago after an absence of many
years." continued Father O'Sullivan,
scarcely a day passed without grief
to many stricken family; the father
killed in action the brother manned
for life or the poor widows son
wounded and coming home to die.
THUS have the Irish soldiers borne
the brunt Of battle! Up to three
weeks ago no Canadian soldier had
fred a shot: yet few days ago the
transatlantic cables were set ringing
with the bravery Of the Canadian con.
tingent. Those same censored cables
again and again informed 10 Of the
matchless bravery of the Indian war.

PRIEST INDICATED IN $4,000
Cast Of Robert Lowery Against Aged

Thrown From Court.

Robert J. Lowery's $4,000 dam
age suit brought IA months ago
against the venerable Rev. Father
Dominic Pantanella, S. j.. the octo-
genarian, pioneer at the Sacred Heart
College. Denver, Col, for alleged Of
fenses against the prosecutors wife.
Laura Lowery, was thrown out Of
District Judge w. D. Wright's court
last Saturday morning, when Father
Pantanella's attorneys, Messrs. T. J..
O'Donnel and Thomas Ward, Jr., pre-
sented motion for non-suit. says
Denver Register. The Court ruled
repeatedly that Lowery had absolute
ly no standing for damages, despite
the persistent and repeated pleas Of
opposing counsel.
The case was somewhat Of SEN
sation when it was filed, but it was
realized that 1t would not stand a
minute in the court, due to the saint
~ life Of the man attacked, as we'll
as to his advanced age. The Low

"The Irish troops are not rushing

Irish look upon the present war as a

CONVENT |NSPI|0N !
Bill INTRODUCED !.

The proposed inspection of Catholic
converts, sectarian seminaries,
schools and other institutions by
County Commissioners, as provided in
a bill introduced in the Missouri Gen.
eral Assembly, has caused much agi-
tation among Catholics in Kansas
City.
The State Federation of Catholic
societies of Missouri will attempt to
have the bill killed in committee, said
George Reinhardt, president of the 10.
cal branch.
The officers of the federation and
Catholic priests see in the bill intro
duced January IL by Representative
Marion D. Allen of Laclede county, a
Republican, an endeavor to create an
opportunity for the inspection of
Catholic institutions by persons of
different religious persuasion, having
Interior motives. Two similar bills
were introduced in the last legisla-
ture. Both died in committee.
After the bill was read the first
time in the House 500 copies were
ordered printed by Chief Clerk Robert
E. L. Marrs.
The second section of the bill de-
clares it shall be the duty of all coun-
ty commissioners "to visit unan-
nounced every private or public home,
house of detention, convent, asylum,
sectarian seminary, school or institu-
tion once every four months to note
the condition and treatment and to
receive the complaints of the in
mates"
The bill also grants grand jury
a right to inspect such places and au-
thorizes a Judge to appoint an in
spector on the petition of 20 persons
of the county. =.
The last section of the bill would
declare 1t misdemeanor for anyone
to oppose such an inspection, opposi-
tion to be punished by fine of not
less than $500 and six months i'm
prisonment for the first offense and
for each additional offense not less
than $1,000 fine and Imprisonment.
Mr.. Reinhardt declared that the
Catholics did not object to a bona
fide inspection of charities, but said
they could see no justice in an open
violation of Catholics private rights.
He thought the Allen bill originated
in group of men who center around
Aurora, Mo. He said that in Repre-
sentative Aliens own county, Leclede
the county Poorhouse is such that
mot even a dog could live in It,"
cts the worst poor farm in Mis-
souri, and possibly in the whole
United States, and yet he introduced
a bill like this"

someone who thinks we have horns
and hoofs," one priest said, "and he
wants to ind out"

TrounGed Officer Who
Spat Upon Scapu|ar

Ordinary Seaman ventimilre, of the
U. S. s. New York, has learned a
lesson. He is now serving sentence
of thirty days on bread and water, of
which today is the twenty-fourth day.
Another man on the same ship, guilty
Of a worse offense, has suffered no
punishment, but it is not difficult to
tell which of the two will enjoy the
greater satisfaction of mind when the
thirty days of Ventimille's sentence
expire next Friday.
One day last month the young sea-
man took bath on the New York,
which had lain at her dock for several
weeks prior to last Friday, getting
tuned for the trip to San Francisco.
Not wanting to wet his scapulars he
hung them over his uniform. His i'm
mediate superior, petty officer, was
waiting for him to come out of the
bathroom. When Ventimille emerged
from the room the petty officer seized
the scapulars, spat upon them, flung
them on the floor in contempt and
stepped on them. Immediately Venti-
mile went at him and gave the rascal
sound punching.
The following day, December 80,
1914, he was court-martialed. He was
found guilty, condemned to thirty
days solitary confinement on bread
and water, and fined three months
pay. Absolutely nothing was done to
the contemplate petty officer, whose
offense, not against Ventimille, but
against religious symbol that he
held dear, was the cause of the quar-.
rel.
Thirty days of solitary confinement
are by no means pleasant, particular
ly when the diet during that period
consists of bread and water. Further,
the loss of three months pay is one
that young Ventimille can i'll afford.
There is satisfaction for him, how.
ever, in the knowledge that he did a
thing that showed him to be man.
Had the small-minded petty officer
been only an ordinary seaman, the
action would not cost Ventimille so
dearly; or If the penalty were the
same. the other party to the offense
would have suffered as we'll as he.
These circumstances might, perhaps,
have been little balm for him, but
his present condition, as the sole suf.
ferer from quarrel in which he was
not the offender must surely appeal
more to his higher nature.
Ventimille had fair trial when he
was court-martialed. The United
States government can recognize no
religion. nor, presumably. can 1t rec.
ognize the symbols Of any religion,
comments The Tablet. The govern.
ment does recognize, however, insub.
ordination in the navy, and this was
Ventimille's offense. He was guilty
Of striking a superior omcer-and he
Is paying the penalty for his crime.
Considering the provocation, q fair
question as to the Justice Of 30 severe
q sentence may be raised.

THE PARABLE OF THE TOWER.

THE PARABLE OF THE TOWER.
The meaning of this beautiful
story is so clearly explained in the
gospel itself as to need no paraphase.
What we may need to be reminded Of
is that the good seed is being sown
perpetually by every good influence
we encounter and that we may be un-
consciously foregoing rich graces and
special blessings by not apprehending
them. No heavenly work has set
times or periods. It is perpetual.
The heavenly Tower is always at
work. If we would be receptive we
could increase our spiritual yielding
to uncounted extent.

ACCOUN1OF MENACE TRIAL
Joplin. Mo-, Paper Gives Summary
of Noted Trial Against Aurora

at which Fr. Rossman
Received Verdict
for $500
(From the Joplin. tMo.) Globe,
Ian. 22. 1881

(From the Joplin, tMo.) Globe.
Jan. %. 1s15.)
After celebrating more than five
hours, jury in fedetal court at 10
o'clock last night returned verdict
which gave Father Francis P. Ross
man of Wheeling, WA. a judgment
for $500 against The Menace Pub
fishing company of Aurora, Mo.
Father Rossman sued for $4,000,
alleging that an article published in
an issue of the newspaper had injured
him. When Arba 8. Van valkenburg
delivered his charge to the jury yes
terday he instructed that verdict be
found in favor of theiplaintiff as, he
said. the article was libelous.
The case went to the jury at 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon. After
they had debated for three hours the
jurors were excused two hours for
dinner. Judge Van valkenburgh was
determined that a verdict be reached,
if possible. It had been his intention,
If the jury did not return a verdict
last night. to continue the session to-
day.
According to reports current last
night the jurymen's opinions for a
judgment ranged from $500 to $780,
900 in damages for the priest. The
jury was composed largely of farmers
from this district. Every man on the
jury. except one. was a protestant.
Both sides rested Id the case Tues
day night and the closing arguments
were heard yesterday Frank O'Brien
of Wheeling opened the arguments.
His was in behalf Of the plaintiff. He
was followed by Arthur E. Spencer Of
Joplin for the defense Judge O'Neill
Ryan of st. Louis, chief of counsel for
Father Rossman. spike and was fol-
lowed by John Z. MeAys.t. chief of
counsel for the Defendant. Thomas
Hackney Of Cathage, ror the defense,
closed the arguments.
Judge Van valkenburgh's charge
to the jury was long one. He de-
clared that in the testimony which
had been presented it had been prov
en- the article was libelous. He in
structed the jury to find in>favor of
the plaintiff. but did not fix the
amount of damages, leaving that to
the jury to decide.
When the jury's verdict was read
last night. the plaintiff was given ST.
600 actual damages and $500 punt.
tive damages. The defendant will
also have to pay the costs, which are
large. owing to the distance which
witnesses were forced to travel to at
tend the trial.
According to the allegations, the
newspaper article published intimat-
ed that Father Rossman had been in
innate with nurse in a hospital and
later left suddenly. The article was
printed in the Menace October 4,
1913. 1t included only about ten
lines.
While the trial was In progress
many persons came to Joplin to at
tend it. There were many men who
sat through the trial from the time
1t began until it ended. Yesterday 1t
was almost impossible to get near the
court room.

or real wrongs. And on the OCCASION
of which I wish to write they went
there to hold meeting in honor Of
one Massetti. a hero of theirs, over
seas. who had done an act of violent
protest against being drafted for
war service. They found the doors
of their favorite hall locked against
them. and when they looked around
in their first surprise and anger.
they caught the eyes of two detect
ives upon them.
The detectives they had known
for year or so. also. They were
1rishmen. but this the radicals never
took note Of. To them they were
just "The Catholic bulls" Almost
instantly the radicals. Alexander
Berkman at their head, began to
storm that the bulls had terrified
the hall owner" and so had shut
them out of a meeting place. They
proceeded down the street to a corn
er. where one Valentine Campanella
tride to vent his overwrought feelings
on an ash barrel. He landed in a
Jail cell.
''The dirty Catholics" was what
was hissed out as the agitators made
their disgruntled way up town.
In little while Campenalla's case
was called in the Essex Market po-
lice court, and thither went his as
sociates to appear as witnesses. Some
got into the courtroom. Some were
famed" off the block by detectives.
Campanella got ten days.
A Catholic Magistrate was the
chief comment of those who left the
court room. And explain the SEN
tence to the radicals by any process
you might, it meant only one thing:
that the Constitution was adjourned
wherever it worked in their favor;
that the rights of assemblage disap-
peared whenever you got the combi-
nation together of Catholic detect
i've, a Catholic police captain and q
Catholic magistrate.
The fact was. however, that what
with the Tammany organization be-
ing largely Irish, and the police force
famously Irish and the magistrates
in the most instances Irish, they also.
but innocently enough, were mostly
Catholics.
