Statement by Father Tierney.

The statement by Father Tierney,
along the same lines, is. in part, as
follows:
"A reply to Mr.. Tumulty's letter will
appear in the next issue of America,
the national Catholic weekly, of which
l am editor. For the present. suffice it
to say that the points in which | am
interested concern the treatment of
priests, brothers and sisters, and the
attitude of the revolutionists toward
religion in general Mr. Tumulty dis
counts nearly all the reports of out
RACES; but his contention is sustained
by no evidence of value. His testimony
about the treatment of sisters is, in
every instance except one, negative.
Against this negative testimony Mgr.
Kelly and myself have set, and can now
set, affidavits declaring that sisters
were il1-treated. And. strange to say.
one of these affidavits was made in
Vera Cruz by refugee sisters, at a time
when. as Mr.. Tumulty declares, the Of

fcers of the American army who were
thrown into contact with these same
sisters in Vera Cruz. never heard of
a single report of outrage having been
committed" Stranger still. this affi-
davit is signed by an officer of the
American army. Through the columns
of America / have offered to furnish
Mr.. Tumulty the names of the six sis
ters who testified, the names of the six
witnesses and the name of the notary.
For prudential reasons l shall with
hold the name of the army officer. |
have also offered to send him a copy of
an affidavit made by the prioress of a
well known Carmelite monastery who
conversed with sisters who were out
ragged. All this testimony gives moral
certitude that outrages were commit
ted; Mr.. Tumulty's evidence leaves this
certitude untouched"

AS soon as the time limit expires the
judges plan to commence work on
them. If possible, the winners will be
announced in The Sunday Star. Be
cause of the large number of entrants
it is not possible to tell at this time
whether this will be feasible
Following the announcement of the
winners the prizes now on display in
the windows of the building at the
northeast corner of 18th and F streets
northwest, will be distributed These
prizes are both attractive and useful.

the contest particularly interesting is
that entrants have been divided into
four classes. namely: School children
of the District in grades irst to fourth
inclusive in grades fifth to eighth in
elusive, and in the high schools; and
public. In this way all have an equal

Contest Is Educational.

During the last week considerable
interest has been shown by both adults
and children in the uses to which cleo
tricity is being put in Washington.
Many have found this servant of man
kind being utilized in places where
they have not hitherto known it to be.
Also, many have learned that the varie-
ty of uses of electric current is greater
than they had previously supposed.
Large numbers of persons today
visited the exhibition of the prizes, and
also saw the many other articles oper-
ated by electricity which are being
shown in adjoining windows. The dis
play of the actual prizes. 1t is believed,
did much to stimulate interest in the

by the Electrical Contest Editor today
was considerably larger than during
any previous similar period of time

MEETING OF ACADEMY
OF POLITICAL SCIENCE
Senator Weeks Argued for a Large
Merchant Marine.

New York, Nov. 12.-Assertions that
in the event of future foreign wars ex-
portation from the United States would
virtually cease and that only the SUI
periOr British and French nayies en-
able expectation to continue in spite
of the present European conflict, were
made at the meeting of the Academy
of Political Science today as argu-
ments for the upbuilding of the Amer
lean merchant marine.
Senators Duncan U. Fletcher, of
Florida, John w. Weeks, of Massa-
chusetts and Robert L. Owen of Okla
hOma were the speakers.
Senator Weeks argued for q large
merchant marine. Pointing out that
this country now pays TO foreign own
ers of ships $30O,000,00 annually to
transport American products abroad,
he asserted the creation of a mer-
chant marine by subsidies would In
crease industry in this country and
give employment to probably 100000
workmen. In the event of a great for
eign war, he said, an ample merchant
marine would be invaluable, because it
would enable America to continue ex-
porting regardless of the war, where
as now. if it were not for the superior
British and French navies, American
expectations would be stopped.

RETURNS FROM CONGO WITH
100000 SPECIMENS ANIMAL LIFE
Herbert Lang Headed an Expedition
for American Museum.

New York, Nov. 12.-Herbert Lang,
an explorer, sent to the Belgian Congo
in 1909 by the American Museum OF
Natural History as the head of an
expedition to gather for the museum
a collection of animal and bird life
of Africa, returned here Today Mr..
Lang said that the expedition had
gathered more than 100, 900 specimens
of animal life as well as over 5000
specimens Of bird life. 5--
The expedition into the Congo, ac-
cording to Mr.. Lang, was primarily
to secure a representative group of the
Congo by Sir Harry johnson in 1903.
In this he was entirely successful, Sc
curing magnificent specimens of the
male female and their young. OF his
total collection, about 900 specimens
were large animals. He also said that
he had secured a complete family
group of the faded white rhinoceros as
well as nine lions, four elephants, three
giraffes and a complete buffalo fam
lily. Other portions of the collection
include smaller animals, specimens of
their habitations and 500 snakes of
about so species.
Despite the dangers of the jungle,
Mr.. Lang said that he and his party
enjoyed excellent health. To trans
port the specimens from the interior
to the coast, distance of more than
800 miles, the services of more than
1000 porters working in relays were
employed. During the six years that
the party was gone but one fatal ac-
cident occurred, that being when one
of his native hunters mistook a wound
ed lion for a dead one and was fatally
clawed and bitten.

government in Mexico. arrived at No

with 200 troops, a few hours after the
arrival of General Obregon, Carranza
military commander.
General Obregon said that his pres

"a leader late today announced that
he came here to influence the Indians

who formerly were under command Of
Obregon, to switch to the Carranza
faction. He predicted that forces of
the de facto government would be in
complete possession of the state of
Sonora within 40 days.
Reports that General Villa had been
offered amnesty were emphatica1ly de-
MED by General Obregon, who declared
that Villa would be treated as an out
law if captured.
General Villa announced his visit to
Nogales was for the purpose of con-
