CARDINAL FARLEY STOPS
DANCING IN HIS DIOCESE
Severe Penalty on All Priests Allow
ing Such Amusement at Church
Entertainments.

NEW YORK, June 6.-Fastors of the
Roman Catholic churches in the arch
diocese of New York received from the
chancellor today letter notifying
them that Cardinal Farley has forbid
den, under severe penalty, all dances
at church entertainments The letter
is pursuant to decree of the sacred
congregation of the consistory dated
March 81 and first made public in
America May 10. The decree of the
consistory was. in turn. based upon
the action of the third pIenary council
of Baltimore in 1885 by which priests
were directed TO remove entire that
abuse in which entertainments and
balls are held for the purpose of pro-
noting pious objects"
The chancellor promised in his let
ter that the cardinal would send a cir
cular on dancing to the pastors in this
diocese. The priests. some of whom are
in doubt whether the Introduction ap-
plies to the giving of dances by Cath
ole societies, expect their circular will
make that point clear.

Macon, Oct 10.-In the United
States district court, which convened
here today, Judge w. w. Lambdin de-
clined to assign the famous Coffee
county liquor case for trial, taking the
position that the litigation had been

be handled by him.
The case has been pending for sew
eral months, liquor to the value OF
$4,000 having been seized in Coffee
county by the sheriff, it having been
consigned as household goods.
Judge Speer took jurisdiction of the
case because it was an interstate ship

brought to Macon and stored. 1t is
now being kept under day and night
guard at an expense of six dollars a
day, to say nothing of the storage
charges. 1t is said the expenses has
already reached $1,000.

al bank Of Macon and the Citizens Ma
tional bank of Macon were merged

over by the Fourth National. The en-

tional for the stock of the Citizens
was $3.50 per share, or $375,0OO. The
capital stock of the Citizens was $780,

GOVERNOR TO TELL PEOPLE
WHAT HE THINKS OF DORSEY

Atlanta, Oct. 81 will never per-
nit my political epitaph to be written
by Hugh M. Dorsey and his follow
ers," Gov. Nat E. Harris told friend
in Atlanta today.
1t is Governor Harris's purpose, as
he stated to this friend, to stump the
state of Georgia again in the very
near future and tell the people OF
Georgia what I think of Dorsey and
his gang" that "they can't retire me
to a political grave with the imputa-
lions carried in Dorsey's platform,
and l intend to put Mr.. Dorsey and
his crowd before the people of Geor-
gia in their true light"
1t is not the governors purpose
to begin running for anything, accord
ing to the story told by the friend OF
his. with whom he talked-at least
that isn't on the governors mind at
this time. But, because of the attack
made upon him in the Dorsey cam
raign.- and the things that were done
and said about the veto of the Neil
primary election bill, he is going be-
fore Georgias people and look them
in the face. and talk to them again.

CHURCH FORMATION OF GIRLS
AT MILLEDGEVILLE is PRETTY

Milledgeville, Oct. 9.-One of the
prettiest sights in all Georgia or any
where else, for that matter, can be
seen in Milledgeville any fair Sunday
morning at 1890. 1t is the church
formation of 900 young girl students
of the Georgia Normal and Industrial
in circle; sometimes square; then
again a cross, all wearing uniforms of
white waists, brown skirts and black
caps this season of the year and pure
white in summer. Some command not
known in military tactics is given and
they all form in battalions of about
300 each and march to the church of
their choice
These girls representing eevry coun-
ty in Georgia, present a beautiful
scene and one that attracts large
crowds of people, not only from Mil
ledgeville, but from surrounding sec
tons, as well.
Relatives are here every day in the
week to see the students, but Sunday
is the "big day" Any Sunday at least
fifty automobiles are here from all
parts of the state and one can just
imagine what big reception the girls
give their folks from home.

The crew of the Kingston were re-
ported in boats. and had not been
picked up. The sea was calm. Many
destroyers were still in the vicinity
Two hundred and sixteen passengers
and members of crews had landed.
1t was supposed that one subma-
rine was the U-G3, which visited New
port Saturday. A passenger on the
British liner Stephano said an officer
and several of the crew said they saw
distinctly the name U-61 on the sub
marine which attacked the Stephano.
Thirty of the Stephano's passengers
were Americans from Canadian
ports.

Immediately asked the Ericsson to
take off her passengers. Before the
Ericsson arrived the Stephanos pas
sengers were off in the ships own
boats and were being taken aboard
the destroyer within five minutes.
The Ericsson brought twenty-five
women and ten children and the de-
tsroyer Balch brought sixty-nine 9th
ers from the Stephano.
While the Germans were disposing
of the Stephano, Dutch vessel, prob
