FITZPATRICK DENIES
RADICAL PLOTS
VIII Ask War Department to Publish
Names of Suspects-Skilled
Workers Returning to Shops.

CHICAGO, Oct. l7-John Fitzpatrick,
president of the Chicago federation OF la
Tor, said yesterday that he will demand OF
the war department the publication OF
the name OF every alleged radical member
OF the federation suspected of fomenting
disorder in connection with the steel
strike.
Il have been told that General Wood
has said there is not scrap of evidence
to connect any of the men arrested at
Gary, Ind. with any plot of radicals, :
said Mr.. Fitzpatrick. The reports that
radicals are running the strike are abso-
lute'y untrue. NInety-five per cent OF
all those arrested are men who were dis
charged from the steel mills because OF
their activities in the union. | believe
that all this talk of radical plots to over
turn civil government and establish sow
cts are bunk.
1t was reported yesterday that Secre-
tary Baker has been asked by organized
labor to send personal representative to
Gary to investigate the charges made
against radicals
Officials of the steel mills at Gary said
that 1853 of the l70 rollers the highest
skilled workmen employed in the steel
industry who earn from 1913 to $36 a day
under normal conditions, have returned to
work along with their helpers. The ex-
ecutives of the plants expressed the belief
that the strike is practically over, as the
companies have no intention of attempt
ing to increase their output at present
They say that each mill is building up a
new organization and that in several de
nartments there are more men applying
for work than can be used. Union labor
leaders deny the accuracy OF these asser
tions

Dr.. Price Lectures in Courtroom.

By invitation of the court officials, the
people of Newfane on Tuesday evening
enjoyed the rare treat of listening to
Rev. George E. Price, DID,, of Rutland,
who gave a very interesting address re-
lating to his work in France in connec-

room was tastefully arranged as lee

The introduction of the speaker by
Judge Wilson was heartily applauded
by the large audience who appreciated
his glowing words in favor of Newfane
as county scat and his pleasing way
of bringing before the people from all
parts Of the county this able speaker,
who was greeted with cheers and close
attention.
His story Of the scenes connected with
the war in the three large Y NJ. c. A.

their hearty enjoyment of games and

they were given to tears, laughter, pro

"HUMAN NATURE" IN DOGS.

A real full-blooded English bulldog
has been in our family for seven
years, writes a newspaper contribu-
tor, and as time goes on we find him
more and more human.
One of his traits has amused us for
years. Sunny, as the dog has been
appropriately named, is very partic-
ular about his food. Real, old-fash-
Toned dog biscuit is beneath his dig.
nifty. When a bowl of biscuit is put
down for his supper he shifts with
disgust and turns away.
But resting conveniently close at
hand is little papier-mache model OF
a bulldog that rejoices in the name
of Fido. All that we have to do in
order to bring Sunny back to his bowl
is to call Here, Fido, Fido!" and to
put Fido in front of the dinner. Sc
long as he feels that some other dog
may possibly get the food, Sunny will
eat every crumb, with a grunt of sat
isfaction nosing Fido out of the way
Is not that precisely the nature OF
some humans?

BEARING THE GOOD TiDINGS.

Rev. r. Guichard, NJ. S. H., tells
how the missionaries helpers are Sc
cured in that difficult part OF the
APOSTOLIC world, the Gilbert Islands,
Oceanica:
"Catechists are formed in the fol-
lowing manner: Out Of the general
mass of Christians who come under
his observation the priest selects a
chosen few who show special quail
ties, and applies himself to their edu-
cation. His devotion soon shows
them that he does not wish to exploit
them for his own purposes, but to give
them the power to save souls.
These men, placed in the heart OF
remote villages, can bear to their
brothers the good tidings of salvation
in a far more effective manner than
any white man could do.
"The European apostle, appearing
for the first time among our untu-
tored savages, is without DOUBT
greeted as a wonderful being, ac-
corded every hospitality q am speak
ing of friendly peoples) and listened
to with polite attention, but his
words leave about the same impress
sion on the native brain that water
leaves on polished marble.
After day spent in listening to
the priests exhortation, the old men
of the tribe will gather at eventlde
in the common house and make their
comments on what they have heard
When everyone has expressed an
opinion the most ancient of all will
scratch his head indifferently and
sum up the situation in a phrase that
disposes of the whole affair-aia pal
| imatay-'white mans stuff
"How different is the reception OF
the native catechist. He enters the
huts and takes up his abode as one
at home. He explains to his com
panions that this white man is really
friend, that he has nothing what
ever to do with the government, that
he desires nothing and is ready to give
ALL"

LET YOUR MIDDLE NAME BE
CHARITY.

The Faith is old in the Philippine
Islands, but it needs resuscitating, and
the sooner the present day laborers
get the means to carry on an active
drive" the sooner will Catholicity
come back to it's own. The Superior
of the Sacread Heart Fathers, Rev. ].
Aerts, tells what his community
needs:
I'VE are expecting new mission
aries from Holland we need them
badly, but when they will arrive we
do not know. Nearly all of our mis-
sionaries need rest. Another impor-
tant matter is the question of Sisters
in our missions, but here again the
finances have to solve the problem.
Let us hope, now that the war is over,
that the Diocese of Zamboanga, per-
haps the poorest of all the dioceses,
will not be forgotten, and soon our
means will be sufficient to build
churches, schools, colleges, and all we
need for the propagation and preser-
! walton of our Holy Faith here in these
islands"

THE KIND SHEPHERD AND HIS
REWARD.

1t was long, long ago when the
Blessed Lord of all things was walk
ing through a dense forest with St.
Peter, as companion.
I'VE have surely lost our way
said the saint, mot vestige of a
path can | see!"
We will walk on little further"
said the Blessed Lord, we may yet
find a way out
AS they went on, very weary, they
came most unexpectedly to a beauti-
full green meadow which had many
sheep in it. What restless sheep the,
were, however! Scarcely a moment
were they quiet, but were running
hither and thither
The poor shepherd! After them he
ran, trying to keep them safe, until he
was so tired that he could scarcely
stand on his poor feet, and was so
out OF breath that he could speak only
in hoarse whisper
Then the Blessed One said: "Shep-
herd, can you tell us how to get out
of this forest that encompasses Us
all about?'
Tired as he was, and spent with
his fruitless efforts to get his sheep
together, the shepherd stopped and
obliging replied: Take the road you
will find over there, and it will lead
you out of this wood"
The shepherd pointed out carefully
the exact spot where the path began
so that the Blessed Lord and His com
panion could not possibly lose their
way.
When, after closely following the
directions of the shepherd, they had
at length emerged from the wood
said the Blessed Lord:
1.-THE shepherd who was kind and
obliging must be rewarded. The CAD
| fly has been annoying his sheep
From now, it shall no longer torment
| them, and they shall be restless anC
uneasy only in wind and rain Ant
even as He spoke the sheep began t
ramble quietly back to the shepherd
and the Blessed Lord continued:
From now on, ever shall the shep
| herd have the leisure to sit dowI
quietly, for his sheep will require bu
little watching, and he can play or
his little pipe and pass the hours hap
| PLY and contentedly.'
And when He had ceased speaking
the shepherd, far back in the greer
meadow, sat down and played on hi
pipe, the sheep all browsing content
edly near by.
And if anyone goes even now to thu
meadow in that country, the pipe of ;
shepherd may be heard, as the playe
sits and watches his sheep grazing il
the field.

MOTHER WAsP's GOOD WORK.

So far as known, only one small in
sect-a wasp of the spheX family
among the millions of creatures be-
longing to a lower order than man,
has ever employed the aid Of tool
to accomplish desired result The
mother wasp of this family digs tun-
mel in the ground, deposits her eggs
in it, and after the wasp has made its
tunnel and deposited the eggs, it fin
ishes it's task by ramming down pei
lets of earth little stones, etc, into
the mouth of the tunnel. This is the
race habit Of these wasps. 1t is re-
corded on undoubted authority that
one inventive mother, when the mouth
of the tunnel was covered to Level
with the rest of the ground about it
brought a quantity of fine grains OF
dirt to the spot, and picking up q
small pebble in her mandibles, useG
it as a hammer in pounding them
down with rapid strokes, thus making
the spot as firm and as hard as the
surrounding surface. Then she de
parted brought more dirt, picked ur
the pebble again and used it.

A TURKISH MURDERER.

The American Committee for Ar
menian and Syrian Relief has re-
ceived an account, by an eyewitness,
of the arrest of Ismael Haki Bey,
director of deported Armenia refugees
at Aleppo under the Young Turk gov
eminent, and said to be responsible
for the death of thousands of Chris
tian men, women and children. After
having escaped detection for months,
he was recognized at Afion-kara-His-
sar by some of the Armenians he had
prosecuted. They were returning
from the Arabian desert, to which he
had deported them.
The account follows:
1.-The Allied Commission is trying
to arrest and bring to trial those who
are responsible for the Armenian mas
sacres. When the British forces en-
tered Aleppo, Ismael Bey found it
convenient to depart, and the British
ever since have been on the lookout
for him.
st now appears that he has been
living quietly in observation-disclosures
shielded by his Turkish friends, and
carefully avoiding the British sol
diers. We arrived in Afion-Kara-His
sar this oftenoon, just in time to see
him arrested.
by coincidence, he sauntered
past the station, nonchalantly smok
| ing cigarette, just after train load
| of Armenian refugees from Alepp6
had pulled in. On that train were
many who had good cause to remem
Der Ismael Bey's features. He was
recognized at once, and with a yell
hundred or more started after him
They caught him before he had gene

who drew inspiration from his delicate
work, was known as Heavy Tom
when boy. ST. Thomas Aquinas, the
Great Doctor of the Church, was called
the Dumb Ok in his early youth.
William B. Sheridan, the brilliant,

WHY LATIN is USED TO NAME
SPECIES.

AS to why naturaliSts use Latin
names, take one of our common birds,
perhaps the one known as the flicker.
l have heard it said that this bird has
about forty names in as many differ
ent parts of the country, says Scout
Naturalist Bigelow in Boys Life, the
Boy Scouts Magazine, for March.
Fishermen use the larva of the
Corydalis for bait, and when you see
some of the nick-names given in
book of entomology as in actual use,
you can readily see that If one is
going to speak with any sort OF pre-
cision it is better to use Corydalis
| than any of the nick-names such as
dobsons, crawlers, amly, cOnniption
bugs, clipper, water grampus, google
COY, bogart, crock, hell devils, flip
flaps, alligators, Ho Jack, snake doc
| tor, dragon and hell-diver, as given
| in Towards THE Insect Book"
Latin names are used because all
naturalists in all countries of the
world are supposed to be familiar
with Latin. If you should speak to
a Chinese naturalist of the 'fiip-fap,

the barbarous sounds that to him
would mean nothing. But say, Cory.

GIVES SIMPLIFIED PREMIUM.

John, the Oysterman' everyone
who sells bivalves in New York is
known as john, has hit upon a
unique scheme to make his custom
ers eat oysters out of season. To
each customer who comes into his
place he hands an envelope, pay
size, with an enclosure. Printed on
the envelope is the following: Sim
plified Coat Hanger The most uni
versally used coat hanger in the
world. Made of the finest drawn
steel wire by automatic machinery.
Easy to attach wherever and when
ever needed. Warranted for five
years with ordinary usage" And
when one opens the envelope they
naturally expect to find something
new to hang coat thereon. They
are not disappointed, but it is sur
prise. Wrapped in a small piece of
paper is ''the simplified coat hanger.
1t is nothing more or less than new

THE CHURCH COVERED WORLD
WITH INSTITUTIONS OF
CHRISTIAN CHARITY.

"As time rolled on, charity as.
sumed many forms, and every monas-
terry became center from which it
radiated. By the monks the mobiles
were overawed. the poor protected
the sick tended, travellers sheltered,
prisoners ransomed, the remOtest
spheres of suffering explored.
During the darkest period of the
Middle Ages, monks founded refuge
for pilgrims, amid the horrors of the
Alpine SHOWS. A solitary hermit often
planted himself, with his little boat,
by a bridgeless stream, and the char
ity of his life was to ferry over the
traveller. When the hideousness OF
leprosy extended it's ravages over
Europe, when the minds OF men were
filled with terror not only by its loath-
someness and contagiOn, but also by
the notion that it was in a peculiar
sense supernatural, new hospitals and
refugees overspread and monks fiocked
in multitudes to serve them.
This vast and transformations move
ment of charity, operating in the vii
lage hamlet and in the lonely hos
pital. staunching the widows tears
and following all the Windings OF the
poor mans griefs, presents few fea
| lures the imagination can grasp, and
; leaves no deep impression on the
mind The greatest things are Otter
those which are most imperfectly real
lied: and surely no achievements o
the Christian Church are more trul!
great than those which it has effected
| in the sphere of charity. For the frs
