word from the Pennsyivania railroad
authorities that tho Federal express

taken on its weekly trips September

mako It's last trip south from Boston

This action Of tho Pennsy1vania au-

to have the trips continued until wom-

The Federal express runs wen around

TN each Of these states two years

MUST GO TOEXECUTOR
Justice Stafford Of D. @. Supreme
Court Decides Restraining Order
Should Be Dissolved.

Justice Stafford Of the District Su-
prone Court today decided that the re-
straining order issued against Francis
T. Homer Of New York and Baltimore
to prevent the return to the American
Security and Trust Company, executor
of the estate, Of letters found among
the personal effects Of John R. Mclean
should be dissolved. Edward B. Nc
Lean. the son and only heir Of the dead
millionaire, brought suit to secure the
letters on the plea that they are not
assets Of his fathers estate, but are
purely personal and their publication
might subject to humiliation and dis
grace some of tho writer's
The court directed that an order issue
requiring Mr.. Homer to return the let
ters to the trust cmpany. where the
rights of all the parties may be safe
guarded by the court Justice Stafford
suggested that he Is satisfied the trust
company would make no improper use
of the letters while in its possession.
Appeal Is Noted
Former Senator Bailey, for the son.
noted an appeal and asked the court to
fix the penalty Of supersedeas bond
to stay the order of the court until the
appellate tribunal should pass on the
case. Attorney Frank ]. Hogan, for the
trust company. objected to the super
sedeas. and Justice Stafford declined to
fix bond and Senator Bailey noted an
exception.
Mr.. Mclean made no answer today re-
specting the only letter which the trust
company claimed is in his possession
Ne thes nos SO
was made in the argument today.
In disposing of the case Justice STAT
ford said: Il do not decide the merits Of
the case. 1t may be that Mr.. Mclean has
rights to be safeguarded and l will not
decide that he has not.
The question Is, should papers now
out of the jurisdiction of the court re-
main there or be passed to the executor
to be dealt with according to the duties
of his office. l shall sign an order that
the letters be returned to the executor
and the rights of the parties will be
lsafeguarded by the court. These letters
may be of value as evidence and should
not be destroyed. The writer's may
wish to seek relief to prevent any pub
lication, and in a matter of such deli
cacy the court is empowered to act in
camera to prevent any improper pub
ication."
Mr.. Bailey's Argument.
In his argument for the delivery OF
the letters to the son, Mr.. Bailey
claimed that the law had held personal
communications as these to be as
sacred as the remains of the dead. and
that they should go to the widow or
next of kin. Attorney Hogan, for the
executor. insisted that the letters are
personal property, and as such pass to
the executor or administrator after
death.
Cares cited on both sides involved
letters from George Washington and
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, and various
lined the property rights in letters.

Urges Action at Polls.

Catholic voters throughout the United
States werS urged, at a mass meeting
of the German Roman Catholic Central
Verein here last night, to unite and
cast their influence at the polls
where it will best subserve the high
and holy principles" for which Cath
olics stand. James F. Zipf. president of
the Gonzaga Union of st. Louis, who
made the appeal, declared there were
at least 100000 Catholic voters in
the country-"Quite a force" he said,
for the bringing about of proper con-
ditions"
THAT" Mr.. Ztpf added, as almost as
many votes as the republican party
polled at the last general election. That
very number places in our hands
power to be used in works of social
civic betterment, in works of mercy
and of peace. When the Catholic arm
is uplifted let it be for construction
always. but never for destruction
Mr.. Zipf asserted he was not con-
tending for religious party. but for
an organization of Catholics to bring
into public life spirit of liberty and
federation.
1--WE must be SO organized" he de-
clared, "and under such leadership that
upon occasions we speak forcibly as
o<le man and say to the Black Hand of
religious moderation, hypocrisy and
hatred, Thou shalt not enter here: so
far shalt thou go and no farther"
