CALLS PRIESTS EXTORTIONERS
DR.. keig1in Says Catholics in Cuba
Do Nothing Except for Money.

Some people look forward 70 the
time when Catholics will absorb the
Episcopalians and the Episcopalians
will absorb the other faiths and be-

West End Presbyterian Church. in an
address at that church last evening.
But the Panama Missionary Congress
proceeds along line directly opposite
20 this view. We cannot get vitality
by attaching living organisms TO a

nothing for which they are not paid.
The fees charged for performing mar
riages are so extortionate that the poor
peon often is unable TO pay and turns

The Roman Catholic Church has
done absolutely nothing 20 evangelize

Daniels Asserts Fiske and Knight
Are PrOpagandists.

Washington. Jan. ~. Secretary DAN
iels admitted to-day that he had refused
permission to Rear Admiral Fiske and
knight 70 speak in public or write for
publication on the ground that they are
"propagandists." Although acknowledge
ing that his power is limited to the pro-
hibition of articles and addresses which
are submitted TO him for approval, the
Secretary stated that he had informed
Rear Admiral Fiske that he could not
appeal TO the public at this time. and
that 10 submit articles TO the depart
ment for approval would be useless.
Mr.. Daniels said he had not read the
articles recently published by Rear Adj
miral Fiskc in " The North American
Review" and that so far as he knew
there was nothing Objectionable in
them.
"Then you would have no hesitation
20 his publishing more articles of the
same kind?" the Secretary was asked.

replied, avoiding a direct reply, that
do not believe naval officers ought TO
write for publication at this time, when
the administration plans for defence
are being considered
The Secretary then was asked why he
did not have the articles submitted TO
him, as usual. before prohibiting them
you might as well ask me-" he said.
why forbade Admiral Fiske and Ad-
miral knight TO speak before the Chi
cago Commercial Club without first
reading their addresses"
