Sister Theresa, Who
Cared for Foundlings
48 Years, Is Dead
She Helped to Start New York
Asylum and Became
Mother Superior

Sister Theresa Vincent, Mother Su-
perior of the New York Founding
Asylum, 175 East Sixty-eighth Street,
for the last twenty-one years, died az
one of three Catholic women who
founded the asylum forty-eight years
ago.
She first placed outside the institu-
tons door the basket in which the un-
happy mother might lay her burden
after ringing the bell, secure in the
knowledge that no one would reply to
its clangor until she had been afforded
sufficient time TO escape unseen. Since
that day the bell has sounded more
than a hundred thousand times, yet no
child has ever been turned away.
The first home of the asylum was in
East Twelfth Street. For the frs.
few days Sister Theresa Vincent and
her colleagues, Sister Irene and Sister
Liguori, slept on the floor, partook OF
food on a tablecloth that was nothing
but a newspaper spread upon the barr
boards. At the end of the first year
they had received $4,000 from persons
interested in their work and were car
ing for a thousand foundlings. Since
that time unnamed babies have been
taken into the institution at the rate
of from 200 TO 5000 a year.
Solemn high mass of requiem will be
celebrated for the repose Of the soul
of Sister Theresa at st. Patricks
Cathedral at l0:30 Saturday morning.

Asks Dismissal
Of Indictments
For Wire Tapping
Littleton Tells Court Relig.
ious Question Forced De-
PENDANTS to Trial

Declaring that the religious question
raised in the Charities controversy had
forced his clients to trial, Martin W.
Littleton yesterday moved for the dis
missal of the indictments against
Charities Commissioner John A. Kings
bury and William II. Hotchkiss,
charged with having unlawfully tapped
the wires of Father William B. Far
rell, DR.. Daniel c. Potter and others.
Mr.. Littleton's motion was entered
after the prosecution had rested its
case. Justice Kelby announced he
would return a decision when the case
should be resumed in the Criminal
Branch of the Brooklyn Supreme Court
to-day.
Mr.. Littleton contended that all the
defendants had done was to lay certain
facts before the Police Commissioner
who thereupon ordered the tapping.
He argued that the evidence showed
there was a conspiracy afoot to dis
credit the Strong committee, appointed
by the Governor to investigate orphan
asylums and similar institutions. and
that the entire fight waged by Father
Farrell and his associates was due
chiefly to their opposition to Commits
soner Kingsbury's view that children
in private institutions, when reaching
a certain age. should be committed to
the care of private families.
The day was given over almost en-
tirely TO the reading of the testimony
given by Mr.. Hotchkiss and Mr.. Kings
bury before the Kings County Grand
Jury which returned the indictments.
This testimony showed that the de-
PENDANTS believed that Father Farrell
Of the Church IS. Peter and Paul. was
not the author of the libellous pam
phlet attacking Commissioner Kings
bury and the Strong committee. This
opinion they chung to, despite Father
Farrell's sworn statement that he was
the author.
II showed further that Mr.. Kings
bury and Mr.. Hotchkiss believed that
Father Farrell had committed perjury
in so testifying, and that Father Far
rell, DR.. Daniel c. Potter and Others
whose wires were tapped were in q
conspiracy to disoredit the Strong com
mittee and destroy Commissioner
Kingsbury.
Both defendants testified before the
grand jury that the overlapping justi
fed their beliefs, and that Father Far.
rel and Monsignor John j. Dunn haC
offered money 10 DR.. Potter to get out
Of the city and escape testifying be-
fore the Strong committee
Father Farrell and Monsignor Dunr
were subpenaed 10 testify regarding
these alleged brides. but Justice Kelby
refused to admit their evidence.

Church Convention
Delays Suffrage Vote
Long Island Episcopal Diocese
Lays Question on Table
for Another Year

A large number of women who at
tended the convention Of the Long Isl
and Diocese Of the Episcopal Church,
at Garden City, yesterday in the hope
Of seeing the right to vote at PARISH
meetings extended to women were
keenly disappointed when Supreme
Court Justice Townsend Scudder moved
that the whole question be laid on the
table for another year. His motion
was carried.
The delay was caused By conflict
between the constitution and the canon
of the diocese. The constitution says
a majority is all that is necessary to
carry a proposition, while the canon
sets forth that a two-thirds vote is
necessary to amend a canon. A motion
was made that the constitution be
amended to permit Of a canon being
amended in order that the convention
can vote on the question in any manner
they decide. This will be brought up
for a vote next year.

der Of his father-in-law, John +. Peck.
Under the new ruling the execution
will take place at IL p. m. instead of

With only one day Of life ahead Of

impressed by his fate. He spent yes
terday writing poems and talking 10
his brother. Frank Waite. and 20 DR..
A. y. Peterson, the Presbyterian chap

by himself, he hummed and whistled
cheerfully.

Grand Rapids, Mich, May 23.-Only
one member of the Waite or Peek
family here has expressed regret that
Arthur Warren Waite is TO die at Sing
Sing tomorrow. and she is the wife
whom he deceived and wronged. Yet
even Clara Peck Waite only says that
she is sorry that the sentence was not
committed TO life imprisonment, and
adds that she will be much happier
when the whole affair Is over.
In a letter just received by friend
here Clara Peek Waite says:
81 had rather see Arthur spend the
remainder OF his days in prison. |

that his connection still existed, that
his influence was still present. Blu;
when he is gone I'll be free.

Squid Soup and Pefiwinkles
Endorsed for Modern Menus
et of Shark Stewed Musse and Skates Disks Carnished
with Dulse Are Fine Museum of Natural

"M'sieu would desire also the squid
soup? Very good. Squid soup, peri

shall be thick and broiled medium and
garnished with dulse.-and a side
order of stewed mussels. Tres bien,

Man-Eating Shark a DeIicacy
Filet of shark and periwinkles are
put forward as real delicacies. With
the one goes the suggestion that it is
about time for the human race to turn
the tables on the man-eating shark.
All one has to do to get shark
STEAK is to catch a shark-in itself a
public service-and it is pointed out
that the periwinkle, a diminutive sea
snail, is to be found by the billion
along the coast at low tide. However,
brisk trade in periwinkles already
exists, and they are on sale in many
fish markets. As soon as a sufficient
demand for filet of shark arises doubt
less some enterprising New England
port VIII be hitting out Shaking feet.
In the same glass case which incloses
the shark and the periwinkles are to
be seen skate, dish of mussels and
couple OF cans of grayfish. The
skate isn't much of beauty to look
at, but disks cut from his fins are
guaranteed TO be great eating. Mus
sells are fine, too. They abound along
our, coast. but though they kept the
Pilgrim Fathers alive at Plymouth
through the bitter winter of 1620-'2l,
they have been permitted to live and
die III peace through generations since
Europeans know that mussels taste bet
ter than clans. and America. with such
supply at hand, is invited to try
them.
Because of its high food value, its
low price and its excellent favor. gray
fish has been popular in Europe for
many years. The United States Blu
reau of Fisheries has been boosting it
and lately has got the Puget Sound
canneries interested.

 BE SENT FRANCE
SENTIMENT IN FAVOR
 GROWING IN CONGRESS
Predicted That an Expedition In Conn mand of Major General Hugh L.. fer Very Heavy Losses.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. May B. The sentiment in favor of sending American soldiers to France is stead lily growing both in official circles and throughout the country and it is con- fidently predicted that the first con- tingent will be forwarded in very short time. The time and manner of sending the troops will be kept pro- found secret. The losses on the French front during the past fort night have been extremely heavy. It is estimated that the French have lost in killed. wounded and missing 11O,- 900 men. the British 90.00O and the Germans an even greater number.
 The necessity of filling the gaps ere ated by these losses in the allied ranks is great. and it is expected that an expedition under the command of Major General Hugh l.. Scott, chief 0: staff of the General Staff will leave for the front within a short time.

The Prospector received letter from George Swanson on the last boat which carries both good and bad news George went to the states short time ago to have an operation performed upon his foot. which was giving him considerable trouble, having been se- verely sprained when a small boy. and causing a decided limp. He states that shortly after his arrival in Sc attle Dr. Whiting and another physi- clan took an X-ray photograph of his foot and later advised him that he would not operate on the member as and might make it worse than it is at present. However the doctor stated that his foot would never get any worse than at present. and in fact, will continue to grow stronger and give him less and less trouble as he grows older.
 George says he is having goLd time and has learned all the streets in the vicinity of the place where he lives. He is going to start for the North soon and expects to stop off at Juneau for short visit with Robert McChesney.
 This is Georges first trip to the States. He was born in Alaska. and during the fourteen years of his life has always resided in the territory, so that his trip outside has been de- cided treat.
