The fund has provided for each child

apparatus will also be furnished TO all
corners, according 20 their different
tastes. At noon a hearty luncheon will
be served.
The children included in to-day's par
ties will be divided. into two groups,
which will be cared for on different
sections of the beach. The children for
each group have been selected from re-
stricted neighborhoods. The larger
group Of one hundred comes from the
Lenox Hill Settlement The other group
of fifty is from the East Side House
Settlement.
In each case the group is composed
of youngsters who would If left at
home in their own streets play togeth-
err. Most of them would as a matter Of
fact, spend the day in the Fairgrounds
connected with the settlemer.s named
In sending these children out, there
fore, The Tribune Fund is not bring
ing together promiscuous groups OF
children gathered from all sections O.
the city and is not increasing the risk
of infection with any disease.
These same groups OF children will
be sent to the same beaches to-mor-
row and each day this week except Sat
urday. For each group permission has
been obtained TO use a section OF little
used beach where the children VIII be
for the most part by themselves.
In order to be sure no sick children
are included in to-day's parties, each
child 10 go was examined last night
by doctor, and his freedom from all
signs of contagious disease certified ID.
In addition TO this the home of each
child was investigated.
The Tribune Funds plan for these
outings has been approved by the city
Department of Health.
As soon as arrangements can he
made other parties of boys and girls
will be selected and sent away for out
ings in accordance with this same plan.
It is hoped that before the end of the
week at least 500 of the city's needy
and vacationless tots will be enjoying
the benefits to be gained from four
Of FIVE days by the seaside.

Regarding the distribution Of radical
propaganda through the American
mails referring particularly to the. Ell
feet il had when carried over the Dor
der into Mexico, Mr.. Feeney said:
Tons of anarchistic literature sent
across the Rio Grande during the last
five wears, for which the radicals Of
the United States are said TO have
contributed as much as $1,000 a
month, have debauched many Mexicans.
The pernicious propaganda spread
until the bandit chiefs found them
selves at the head OF military mobs
bent upon hunting Christ from that
sc-called republic. Aided by other rev.
dictionary factions, savage minority
has terrorized and demoralized ma
ton Of 100000 Christians. Public
morality in Mexico is now at dis
count, but will be restored in due time
through the Christian morality plant
ed deep in the hearts Of the people by
the Catholic missionary
Cardinal OConnell Speaks.

God very rarely works through the

Judge Swackhamer handed down his
decision in the Jordan case, in the

Jordan was among those killed at a rec

The deceased's widow (of three weeks)

to be paid to Eleanor w. Jordan, and
