CATHOLICS DOWN
Church PARTY
Failure of Administration to
Protect Mexican Church
Property Condemned.

New York. Aug. 2o.-Catholic loyalty
ana patriotism as American citizens was
the Keynote Of the addresses delivered to
wildly enthusiastic throng which
crowded Madison Square Garden at the
mass meeting OF the Catholic Federation
tonight
The failure Of the national administra-
tion, however. to protect Roman Catholic
property In Mexico 1t was apparent would
pc one OF the issues of the federation.
me hrst note was sounded i'm the morn
ing oy Bishop Hickey in his sermon at
81. Patrick's Cathedral Bishop Hickey
aeclared in the strongest terms that bish-
ops priests and even nuns Of the faith
were forced TO endure the grossest in
dignities across the border. and charged
that the administration had taken no
steps toward Intervention.
VI the $4,000 Roman Catholics who
came TO New York for the federation,
only 10000 were able to find room in
the huge Garden. For hours before
opening the meeting thousands began
10 pour through the entrances. Thou
SANDS were turned away protesting.
warnings that irreligion imperiled
the United States were given by a
number Of distinguished speakers. They
made 1t clear-and 1t was the evident
spirit throughout the FIRST day of the
weeks functions-that although the
chief function of the federation was to
found and cement an active organiza-
ton that would protect the integrity
of the Roman Catholic Church. they
were unequivocally opposed to an af-
hliation with a Roman Catholic party
as such in politics.
The startling simplicity Of tho Gardens
decorations served to emphasize by con-
trast the brilliant Scene in which three
cardinals, and an apostolic delegate were
the chief figures.
At first. only Cardinal Gibbons and
Cardinal Farley. with Apostolic Delegate
Bonzano occupied the places OF high
honor In the center OF the vast stage
Then from the entrance came the sound
OF music, and Cardinal O'ConneIl. Of Bos-
ton. strobe down the aisle accompanied
by the Boston Mission Band. AS the
last scarlet robe futtercd its way TO Join
the other two on the stage there was a
huge demonstration. Laymen and church
delegates laid aside the dignity called
forth by the occasion and cheered for
Cardinal O'Connell the man. As he had
received the ovation OF the evening at
his entrance, so Cardinal O'Connell
achieved the success of the meeting
when he spoke. His virilo address some
time after brought the delegates to their
feet.
Governor whitman was expected to
make the opening address OF welcome
He did not arrive until late. so act
ing Mayor Bowling made the first
speech.
Bourke Cochran. the last speaker
OF the evening. took as the theme Of
his address the immemorial associa-
tion OF Catholicism and stability Of
government.

ing Of the "Fairview Hotel" Nothing
could be learned last night as to what
action the Board would take in the mat
ter, but it is understood that the petit
ton will be given consideration.
The hotel is better described as a
shack, but has been patroniZed for years
by draymen and others employed at the
Baltimore and Ohio yards. Kieth Suther-
land, an aged negro. is the owner and
proprietor.
The little place has been famous for
years because Of the original signs dis
played on its front. They have dealt
with everything but food. Passengers on
street cars have watched each day as
they passed to see the unique signs.
The health Office considers that the
place is unsanitary. Residents point out
that Sutherland gives It a thorough clean
ing each day. In fact, It is said that the
exterior receives a fresh coat Of white
wash every morning.
One OF the curtosities which draws at
tention is the good-luck stone which
adorns the front. Anyone who sits on
this stone. says the aged keeper, will
have good luck.

lucky stone WIFI change things. believe
